What does the Pension Reform Act of 2014 do?
The Pension Reform Act of 2014 provides governments and voters with the tools to bring rising retirement benefit costs under control. Specifically, the initiative protects the pension and retiree healthcare benefits that government employees have earned for work performed, while allowing changes to be negotiated for employees' FUTURE years of service. Nothing in the initiative affects the retirement benefits that a government employee has already accrued for prior years of service.
How does this initiative help protect services?
Rising retirement benefit costs are crowding out funding for essential public services, such as education, public safety and road improvements. This initiative empowers government agencies to bring their retirement costs under control so that they can preserve and restore critical services.
How does this initiative increase retirement security for government employees?
Currently, governments across California are making promises to their government employees they cannot afford to keep. This is unfair and unconscionable.
Without reform to our unsustainable retirement systems, more cities, counties and other agencies will be pushed closer to insolvency and our retired employees will be at-risk of seeing their accrued benefits slashed. That's what's happened in Stockton, Central Falls, RI and other cities that have gone bankrupt. This initiative gives governments and their voters the tools they need to ensure they will able to pay out the benefits that their employees have earned.
Does this initiative eliminate protections (vested rights) to pensions?
No. This initiative explicitly protects any retirement benefits that employees accrue for work performed. Employees' retirement benefits would become vested and protected as work is performed.
The initiative simply clarifies that government agencies can negotiate changes to any benefits they earn in the future, for work not yet performed.
Does this initiative impact collective bargaining?
The initiative explicitly requires that changes to government employee retirement benefits comply with applicable collective bargaining laws and wait until current labor contracts expire. It does NOT allow changes to be made unilaterally.
Does this initiative allow government agencies to invalidate labor contracts?
No. The initiative requires all government employers to comply with applicable collective bargaining laws and wait until current labor contracts expire before negotiating changes to benefits.
Who is covered by this measure?
The initiative gives all state and local government agencies, including the UC, CSU, school districts, special districts, cities, counties and the state itself, the ability to prospectively modify its employee retirement benefits. The measure also applies to both new and current employees.
Would government agencies be required to modify employee retirement benefits?
No. This initiative simply enables state and local government agencies to prospectively modify their retirement benefit plans should their individual circumstances require such actions. It does not mandate any government agency to reduce or eliminate any benefits, nor does it dictate a specific level of benefits for all government agencies in the state.
This initiative requires governments to create a stabilization report if their retirement plan is underfunded. Do they have to implement the actions outlined in the report?
No. It would be up to each government agency to evaluate their fiscal situation, discuss the report with their constituents and employees and then determine which steps, if any, should be taken.
How do the provisions of this initiative compare to other laws governing pensions?
Under federal law, retirement benefits can be modified for private sector employees' future years of service. At least 18 states allow benefits to be prospectively modified for government employees too. This initiative applies the same standard to government employee retirement benefits in California.
Why is this initiative necessary?
Government leaders do not currently have the tools necessary to solve their employee retirement benefit problems. In particular, a series of court decisions have suggested that retirement benefits can be increased, but never reduced, for existing employees – even if the reduction is to a level that is significantly higher than what was in place when the employee was hired. This initiative explicitly gives governments and their voters the ability to negotiate the changes needed to protect essential services and the long-term health of our state's employee retirement plans.
How much money will this initiative save?
This initiative gives government agencies tools that could collectively save billions of dollars per year and restore services. However, exactly how much is saved will depend on the financial condition of each plan and the actions taken by the government and/or the voters to address the particular problem in each jurisdiction.
I've heard that this initiative will cost taxpayers "billions of dollars". Is that true?
No. The Legislative Analyst's repot on the initiative found that it could lead to a "potential net reduction of hundreds of millions to billions of dollars per year in state." The only new cost mandated by the initiative is the development of a report for retirement plans that are less than 80% funded – the LAO found that this would likely only cost $5,000 to $20,000 per government agency, with costs significantly less after the first year.
Opponents have claimed that the initiative will lead to government agencies paying off their unfunded liabilities more quickly, which could increase costs by "hundreds of millions to billions" of dollars. However, they fail to note that the initiative does not require any government to do so, and that the LAO found that if any government agency chooses to do so, the costs would be "more than offset by retirement cost savings in future decades."
Is it really fair to change retirement benefits for current employees?
This initiative only allows government employers and employees to negotiate changes to retirement benefits for an employee's FUTURE years of service, just like they can negotiate over future changes to wages, healthcare benefits and other terms of employment. We recognize that such changes may impact how government employees plan for retirement – but the current system is simply unsustainable and it's much better to ask employees to adjust their future expectations rather lay them off, cut their pay, or risk being unable to pay the benefits they earned.
Are pensions really that big of a problem now that the economy is recovering?
Even as government revenues are growing again, the cost of public employee retirement benefits continues to rise at an unsustainable clip. CalPERS has told its member agencies that annual retirement contributions will rise by up to 50% over the next seven years and CalSTRS has stated it needs another $4.5 billion per year to achieve full-funding. It would take double-digit returns for more than a decade to eliminate our unfunded liabilities and cover these huge cost increases.
Isn't this initiative just the latest attack on government employees?
Let's be clear: Our state's pension problems are NOT the fault of our dedicated public servants. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of elected leaders who promised benefits that we simply cannot afford. We want to hire more police officers to patrol our neighborhoods and more teachers for our schools. But we will only be able to do that if we gain control of our skyrocketing retirement costs.
Isn't Wall Street's recklessness to blame for our pension crisis? Couldn't we solve the problem by eliminating corporate tax breaks & loopholes?
While the Great Recession certainly exacerbated the situation, our pension problems are structural in nature. The problem has just as much to do with irresponsible benefit enhancements and the overly optimistic assumptions that have been used to mask the true cost of these benefits. We agree that we need to re-examine our tax structure, but the size of our pension problems is much too big to solve with those kind of changes alone.
Are government employee pensions that generous? I've heard the average pension is $26K?
The average pension stats often cited include employees who retired decades ago or only for the government for a brief period of time. The average pension for recent career employees is significantly higher (more than $60,000) and much larger for public safety employees.

"Every taxpayer dollar that goes to the pension systems is a taxpayer dollar that can´t be spent for more police officers, firefighters or teachers or expanded hours at libraries or recreation centers. It was pension debt that helped push San Bernardino and Stockton into bankruptcy. It was pension debt that forced San Jose to eliminate 2,000 positions from its workforce. Pension debt was a major factor in Santa Ana reducing its full-time workforce by 41 percent. And it was mostly pension debt that forced San Diego to also cut about 2,000 positions, impose multiyear pay freezes and slash library and rec center hours."

Ex-labor secretary Reich writes a play
Published 11:21 am, Tuesday, August 30, 2016
Robert Reich: Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton. Professor of public policy at UC Berkeley. Commentator. Author.
It's true. As part of its 5 Plays 5 Days series, Re:act, a group of American Conservatory Theater alums and other local artists, is staging a reading Saturday, Sept. 3, of Reich's "Milton and Augusto," which imagines what happened at the real-life 1975 meeting in Chile between Augusto Pinochet and economist Milton Friedman.
"We have much in common, Professor," says General, as he's called in the script; they're both the sons of immigrants of humble origins, and they're both sympathetic to conservative economic principles. They're also both ruthlessly power hungry; if General is willing to stage a coup to seize power, Milton is also national in the scope of his ambition: "Eventually all of America will appreciate my ideas."
B.W. Gonzalez directs this meeting of the minds.

In 1983, Alan Jackson started his career in country music, and eventually became one of the industry's biggest stars. Since the start of his career, Jackson has had one special person by his side, his wife, Denise.
Long before Alan became the country star we know today, or before he even started his career at all, he caught the eye of Denise Jackson (yes, she had the same last name as him!). The two were high school sweethearts, and eventually married in 1979.
Denise is actually the one responsible for helping kickstart Alan's career. While working as a flight attendant, Denise approached country singer Glen Campbell in an airport and told him about Alan's dream. Denise managed to catch Glen's attention, and he later stepped in to help Alan launch his career.
As Jackson's career started to gain traction, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Mattie, in 1990, followed by daughters Ali and Dani in 1993 and 1997.
Photo Credit: Bev Moser via CMT
In 2004, Denise made an appearance in Alan's music video for his single, "Remember When." During an instrumental break in the music, the couple slow danced and shared a kiss while images of them played over the screens in the background.
Alan wrote the song as a reflection on his life with Denise, describing how their love has grown over the years and how they will look back on their relationship someday and say, "remember when?"
In 2010, Alan and Denise received the heartbreaking news that Denise had cancer. The experience was terrifying for Alan, but he had faith that Denise would win the fight, calling her "the toughest person I know" in an episode of GAC Backstory.
Now, Denise is cancer-free, and her marriage to Alan seems stronger than ever!
Denise isn't always able to join Alan while he is on tour, but she was able to attend one particular concert in 2007 in Atlanta, Georgia. As Alan introduced his band, he couldn't help but acknowledge his beautiful wife, and invited her to join him on stage.
"I got another guest I want to introduce tonight, which I don't get to do much," he said, "my wife, Denise."
When Denise walked out on stage Alan quickly wrapped his arm around her and smiled. It's clear that after all these years, he's still smitten with her. You can watch the adorable moment between the couple in the video below.
We wish Alan and Denise a happy anniversary, and here's to many more!

Earlier this week we had an encounter with Soldier, one of the staff members of AntiCheat Inc. Also known as ACI. Metabans staff received a "Takedown notice" of an image-link that was posted in a ban appeal topic.
This image-link, the image is hosted on imgur.com, was posted by one of our forum members who found it on another website. This image is showing a list of masked IP's & masked PBGUID's. We can assume this image was a screenshot taken from the well-known and heavily abused History Tool from ACI. The image did not show anything remotely related to ACI. Not the ACI name, nor the ACI logo.
Still Soldier insisted we take down the link to this image, since it was containing proprietary and copyrighted information taken from their website. Now, the question raises: Is a list of IP-addresses & these PBGUID's captured in an image THEIR copyright? These IP's and PBGUIDs belong to their respected players. ACI does not own this data.
We asked Soldier these same questions, but he refused to answer them. Resulting in him threatening and blackmailing us.
Metabans is not liable to what our users post / link to on our forums and / or website.
At first we denied his request, knowing this "copyright infringement" would not lead to anything.
Unfortunately that was not the answer Soldier was looking for, so he decided to throw some big threats against us, but more importantly: threats against ACI's OWN users who also happen to use Metabans.
The threat:
Besides the threat to harm our users who also stream to ACI, the user that posted that image-link has already been punished by ACI for doing so. Since posting information from their History Tools is against their Terms of Service, we can understand these measures taken.Originally Posted by soldier
However, claiming copyright to a linked image, not hosted by Metabans, with IP's & PBGUIDs is just absurd. At first we decided to remove the image after all, since we feared more repercussions for that user if we would leave that image-link in this particular post.
But after some more discussion within the staff we decided this image, which is (again) not hosted by Metabans, is in the public domain and has been vital to proof a player's innocence by several of our users. The link to the image has been restored in this particular post.
We refuse to let some ACI staff member, who reigns ACI with an iron fist, threaten and blackmail us to get their way and so should their users.
ACI is responsible for their own History Tool and who they grant access to. It's well-known the ACI History Tool is being used by people who shouldn't have access to it in the first place, like known cheaters. Current ACI staff is holding onto a world from 10 years ago and seems to forget times have changed drastically. Online abuse and bullying has grown over the years. ACI is facilitating this abuse with their History Tool and they partake in online bullying with their attitude towards other communities like Metabans.
To prohibit their users from streaming to Metabans is just absurd and doesn't help stopping abuse and cheaters in the gaming community.
Threatening their and our users not to use Metabans because THEIR security fails is not something we will ever accept. Unfortunately ACI staff members like Soldier cannot be reasoned with and a healthy discussion is impossible, without them resulting into making threats.
We, as Metabans, believe ACI should change their attitude towards the gaming community and work harder to keep innocent players safe while being open to critiques from this same gaming community without being punished for speaking their minds.

@Darren and David Yet another great podcast.I don't consider my SGU experience complete,before I hear your thoughts and theories about it!
BTW UK Being Human..awesome!US..a cover band,trust me.Nothing like reimagined BSG.In BSG,they've kept some of the basic,important premises..US Being Human literally copies UK version and so far it truly is the same story with different actors.So far,hopefully that'll change in the future.
And you reminded me,I too need to rewatch DS9,but I will add Farscape to that..haven't seen neither in more than 5 years..DS9 in 10.I haven't seen it as a complete story,with all 7 seasons since it aired for the first time.I'm really gonna enjoy those two.
And I sooo get you,about shows I like getting canned.It got me to the point where I hold back on commiting to anything.Defying Gravity,Legend of The Seeker,Terminator:TSCC,Jericho,Caprica,Firefly,Prey,SGU…
I agree that if next instalement of SG happens,it needs to take place in the near future,when stargate is public and I would like a new enemy,possibly really from another universe,the one that'd be ambiguous at first,not clearly hostile and the true scale of the threat to be slowly but surely uncovered by our team.And I don't mean anything like the vistors from V,or the Aschen from 2010.Not anyone that would come to Earth and be welcome here at first.That linked up with the already established mythos of our Ancients and us being the 2nd evolution,everything we know and have so far,icluding the Atlantis,could be awesome,I believe.But that's just me,the armchair producer,lol!
Thanks – first upload was just the first two minutes though… :(
Great podcast as always – slightly better even :) Enjoy the quibbles section, good that it's back.

I'm wondering if all the spells/job abilities will be known for each job in FFXIV. Before deciding on which job I want to be, I'd like to know what spells/job abilities will become available for that job down the line.
I started FFXI late in the game, so all spells/job abilities were known and posted online. I'm just wondering if they were known when FFXI launched (like SE documented it somewhere) or if people had to discover them first?
I guess a lot of things will be discovered during the Beta, but there still may be things that just aren't accessible during Beta.

Living God's Love in the World
St. John's is an inclusive Christian community, a vibrant urban church with an unbreakable commitment to transform its mission and vision and values, its dreams and its hopes of a world filled with God's love, into realities.
We believe that when the Bible says, "for God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son," those words really speak of the whole world. Of everyone. Regardless of your age, gender, race, socioeconomic status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other characteristic, we invite you to be a part of our community.
St. John's members understand that diversity is about inclusiveness and tolerance and giving all people an opportunity for spiritual growth; about helping to build a bridge across the abyss of our differences that has too long separated us; about recognizing all of our cultural backgrounds and all of our ideas and experiences so that we, as children of God, can better serve our neighbors wherever there is a need.
We hope that you'll join us because diversity makes each of us stronger, as together we learn more about living God's love in the world and doing God's work with grace, in trust, by faith, through action.
In 2017, St. John's is celebrating 150 years! To memorialize this important moment in our community, we embarked on an interview project called "Voices of St. John's."
The Lutheran faith recognizes two sacraments: baptism and holy communion. St. John's celebrates both of these sacraments.
Through baptism, we witness the joy of new life within the church, trusting that God is genuinely present. In baptism, we are cleansed by water and with the word of God that promises grace and forgiveness.
Want your child to be baptized at St. John's? Looking to join the Lutheran faith?
Please contact us!
At St. John's, all are welcome to come to the Lord's table. We commune by intinction. You will be handed the bread and can dip it into the chalice. Both wine and grape juice are available. The gifts of God are free.
Looking for your child to make his or her First Communion? Please reach out!

Can Anyone Tell Me What Tip Was Used For This...........................
Decorating By leelee82663 Updated 29 Apr 2016 , 11:44pm by kakeladi
saw these cute cupcakes on another site and was wondering if anyone can tell me what tip was used
[postimage id="3739" thumb="900"]
3 replies
open star tip
yes or a big drop flower tube
One of Wilton's Encyclopedias (Vol 3 I think) has a great list of every tip/tube made (when the book was published) that is so very handy. There is a picture of what icing will look like using each tip. I really think it's a great investment if you can ever get your hands on a copy.

After the Ocean's Dream arc, the Straw Hat Pirates are caught in a storm. By chance, they come across Foxy, Porche, and Hamburg, who are by themselves on a small boat. Despite Foxy using his ability to stop any waves from hitting them, the ship is in danger of being turned over, so Luffy pulls them onto the Going Merry. They are allowed to stay on the ship for now, and the next day they come across Foxy's ship, the Sexy Foxy. Foxy has a tearful reunion with his crew, until it's revealed that they are now under the command of the Fanged Toad Pirates, who had taken over in Foxy's absence. Foxy is about to leave, but the new captain points out that his crew refuses to swear loyalty to him, and that he will have to beat Foxy up to get it. In response, Foxy challenges the captain to a Davy Back Fight and calls for the first match to be Captain vs. Captain.
He uses his Noro Noro Beam, but it is reflected back at him by the swords of the crewmembers loyal to the Fang-Frog captain, who proceed to gang up on him. Hamburg tries to help Foxy using his club, but the captain takes Porche hostage, forcing him to drop it. Luffy yells at the Fang-Frog captain since it was Captain vs. Captain, but he points out that he never accepted the match, and after more attempts by Foxy, Luffy rushes in to help him. Foxy gives Luffy his afro once again, and with this the Straw Hat crew beats up the Fang-Frogs. For his effort, Foxy uses his ability on the crew and activates a trap door that drops them into his ship. Inside, they come across several traps but eventually manage to escape. Foxy's crew strikes again on an island using a special crab submarine, but this once again ends in failure. This leads into the encounter with Aokiji.

The US-German War (also known as "01-05 War") was a conflict between the United States of America and the German Empire, fought from August 1901 until December 1905. The war was a violent and bloody one, and it made the US General Staff of the Army realize the importance of the Atlantic if ever at war with another European nation.
Build up to war
The roots of the war go back to the Franco-Prussian War. After Germany was formed, many members of the government, and especially the Military felt that Germany ought to have a powerful Empire. During the 1870s, Germany built colonies in Africa, and also into some areas of the Middle East. They purchased Muscat and Oman from the United Kingdom in 1875 for the price of Three Million Gold marks (about Five Million Pounds) and set it up as a member of the Empire. They also purchased Sierra Leone in Africa from the British in 1877 for the lower price of One Million Gold marks. In 1883, Germany began to salivate over the prospect of the Dutch East Indies in the Pacific and Dutch Guyana in South America. They offered to purchase them, but the Dutch refused, and so Germany went to war with The Netherlands. After a quick contest, Germany was victorious and The Netherlands transferred the territories over to them. Then in 1898 the United States of America went to war with Spain, a war that Germany kept a close eye on. They sent a military attache to the Spanish island of Cuba, where they watched the war rage.
The military attache was Colonel Alfred von Schleiffen, who watched the contest with great interest - one battle in particular, the Battle of San Juan.Hill, took him by great interest. He watched as young cavalry Colonel Theodore Roosevelt charged into the battle, and the use of Gatling guns to enfilade trenches. He took down notes and after the war ended in a few months, returned to Germany, where he presented them to the rest of the German Chief Staff. When Schlieffen was told that the United States had later annexed the Philippines, Cuba and Guam, he immediately suggested going to war with the US, as he was sure that Germany could win. He said in his suggestion: "The United States is still a fledgling country, and after its war with Spain, is now tired. Germany is a powerful nation, with the best Army in the world and a Navy second only to the British. With the discoveries I have made in the art of American Warfare, I am sure, no certain, that the German Empire is more than able to defeat the USA in naval and land warfare."
The German government decided that taking over the territories annexed by the US would surely put them in the position of a superpower. As relations between the two nations buckled in the three yer between the war, Germany not only built up a much more powerful army but a massive navy as well.
War Breaks Out, 1901
On June 12 1901, the German Navy crossed the Atlantic to take up positions near the East Coast of the USA. Whilst Great Britain feared that this was a move of war (and they also feared for the safety of their Atlantic Island, Bermuda) they simply monitored the German Navy make its way across the channel. In a move very similar to the one made by General P.G.T. Beauregard in 1861, the German Navy began the war by shelling the island of Fort Sumter, and then sent troops to occupy it. At the same time, they also bombarded and invaded eastern Cuba, and occupied military posts and villages on the eastern sea-board. The United States had been caught by surprise, and had no time to mobilize their navy before German battle cruisers were attacking Long Island, New York. Although after the US Navy arrived to defend Long Island, the Germans lost this duel. They had stolen some early victories against the US. The following day, US President William McKinley declared war on Germany. Later engagements between the two navies saw Germany victorious in most. European and South American countries began to panic, thinking the war would cut off vital trade, but Germany promised to use her navy to keep the sea lanes open. In an audacious move by the United States later in the year, they attempted to capture German Navy vessels but to no avail. Germany was winning.
The United States attempted to get foreign aid, but other foreign nations were uninterested. Most of them were involved in the Boxer Rebellion, which the US had withdrawn from to fight Germany. Without assistance, the US was forced to fight alone. Germany on the other hand had support from Mexico and Central American countries and received aid from them. Some Mexicans, eager to get a chance of reclaiming their original territory in the US, organised "volunteer" bands that attacked US troops and supply trains coming from the west. Although this was a cause of great anger in the US, Mexico and the States would not go to war until 1917, sixteen years later. On September 14 President McKinley was assassinated whilst giving a speech in Providence, Rhode Island. It is thought that the shooter was a German sympathizer. He shot McKinley three times in the chest, killing him. Five days later, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt took over the position, promising in his inaugural: "A swift and merciless retribution for this heinous crime against America."Later in the month, Germany began an offensive against Florida. They began a hard bombardment of Miami on September 23. German soldiers then attempted to land on the coast, but US soldiers pushed them back, and,with the arrival of the US Navy, managed to push the Germans back. But in a second attack, this time on the west coast of Florida, the German Army captured the town of Bradenton, and pushed the US troops back to a farm in central Florida called Arapaho Farm. This was a disastrous engagement for the US, as they had lost ground on their own turf.
The US had a hard time finding a weakness to the German offensive, and US Generals decided that the only way to continue the war would be with the support of another nation. The US government sent requests to Britain, to France and even to Russia for aid. The only one of these to help in any way was France, still bitter over their defeat in the Franco-Prussian war. The sent to the Americans a large amount of field pieces, and money to build more rifles for their soldiers.
1902, The war picks up
The German Offensive in Florida began to buckle as the US brought in more soldiers and armies to face them. In an incredible seventeen day battle, the Germans were pushed all the way from Arapaho to Miami, and then the US fought another incredible bloody battle against the German Army. All the time at sea, the German Navy dealt horrific blows to the Americans, defeating them at the Battle of Norfolk, and again at the Battle of Wilmington. With this, the United States Navy retreated to Maryland and Annapolis. The German Navy contemplated sending a naval brigade to assault down the Potomac, but this was considered unnecessary, as it was thought that soon, the USA would surrender to Germany.In the summer of 1902, the US Army sent a brigade to Cuba to fight alongside rebels of the German occupation. One of these battle was called the "Great Trek" as the US simply chased the Germans from city to city, with minor skirmishes in between.

Image wrapping and "load previous posts options"?
Hi there, first off great widget! I love how the images are re-sized rather than cropped, which is exactly what I was looking for. Also it makes my front page look much cleaner than the format that is provided by the theme. Thank you.
I have a couple questions about customization- I understand if this type of support is not within your scope of provision, but I figure I'd try anyway. Here's the link to our staging site where I'm testing out your widget (pardon the ugly, it's definitely our test platform!) http://monarchdaily.staging.wpengine.com/
1) I was wondering if it was possible to have the text and title go under the thumbnail instead of next to it?
2) Is there any possibility of adding a "Load Previous Posts" link on the bottom of the widget, or a newer/older arrow type thing at the bottom of the widget? Or any plans for something similar in the future?
Anyway that's all- thanks for a great widget!
- The topic 'Image wrapping and "load previous posts options"?' is closed to new replies.

US-based flexographic printing and converting solution provider Packaging Products (PPC), in partnership with Toray Plastics (America), has developed high-barrier PVdC-free packaging for US based firm Utz Quality Foods.
The new packaging lamination is a combination of Toray's Torayfan CBS2 BOPP film and co-extruded BOPP print web. The Torayfan is a clear, PVdC-free flat sheet designed for use as an inside sealant web.
PPC sales administration vice president Will Woodford said: "Though PVdC-coated OPP film keeps bakery and snack foods fresh and gives consumers a window to the product inside the package, the film has several drawbacks.
"It yellows as it ages, becoming brittle and prone to flex cracking. It has experienced price hikes that have made end-user costs surge, and it has required many flexographic printer/converters to use EMA additives or other supplemental materials to promote bond adhesion for laminating to PVdC-coated OPP.
"Besides those concerns, reports about PVdC-coated films' potential negative long-term effect on the environment have made some manufacturers uneasy."
As part of the collaboration, an extensive testing has been carried out which involved comparing the performance of CBS2 with traditional PVdC-coated BOPP film.
When compared with traditional BOPP film, the CBS2 has shown enhanced quality moisture and oxygen barrier as well as good lamination bond. It also eliminates the need for priming, additives or any changes to PPC's lamination process.
The results also showed that the film provided a heat-seal range, oil resistance, puncture resistance and stiffness, yield advantage, and a longer storage life.
Utz successfully tested the material with new option and test data provided by PPC on its own machinery.
Currently, Utz uses the material for the packaging products such as its tortilla chips, party mix, corn chips, Puff N' Corn and similar salty snacks in the portfolio that don't require a metalized lamination.
Toray noted that the CBS2 BOPP film has been developed with barrier properties using its resin technology and non-PVdC barrier layer, which is designed for heat sealability.

Now that Mila has been made an official part of the Dead or Alive 5 roster and had her first official gameplay video shown off, Tecmo Koei has chosen to give everyone a welcome gift of Mila screenshots and artwork.
As you can see below, a number of screenshots showing off Mila's MMA fighting style can be seen below as well as a bit of her story mode as this part-time waitress and full time mixed martial artist makes her impression on the cast in both her MMA uniform and street clothes.
Those looking for her inaugural swimsuit photo will have to wait a bit unfortunately, though given the fact that even guest character Sarah has been given a swimsuit, Mila's is likely on the way.

Anyone who owns a Lincoln knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do. You bought your Mark IV because its performance and American engineering appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. Lincoln automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of a reputation for strength when driving their Mark IV around town.
We may take this for granted, but it wasn't until the 1950s that vehicles were equipped with reliable air conditioning. On your Lincoln Mark IV, the main component of this system is the A/C compressor. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the Lincoln Mark IV A/C compressor, as the name would suggest, compresses this refrigerant into a dense liquid. After that it goes to an expansion valve that turns it into a gas so it can flow through the evaporator. That cools it so it can emit cold air. If your car or truck did not have a functioning A/C compressor, you would not be able to cool your vehicle on hot days.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Lincoln Mark IV part for your needs. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. If your car or truck was built in 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, then you will find the correct Lincoln Mark IV A/C Compressor parts right here.

Georgia crisis helps McCain for now
Christian Science Monitor, MA
Since last Friday, when Russia invaded its Caucasian neighbor, Senator McCain has spoken to his old friend "Misha" Saakashvili several times, ...
(Excerpt) Read more at csmonitor.com ...
Obama's statement on the Georgian situation was wishy washy at best pure appeasement at worst. If he were president (God protect our Republic from that happening) in this situation he would be crawling to the UN for help and issuing milk toast statements so as not to offend the Russians.
Obama's first statement was that he — the US — wanted to be 'Russia's friend'. Then he clammed up/ran away from reporters, and let his three hundred advisers come up with something more comprehensive and stupid.

About the Book
The belief that a finite being in white coat ( physician ) is all knowledgeable, can always heal and also save human lives in all serious medical situations is a pathetic fallacy. Healthcare which began in the olden days in good faith is today a big business. Current profit oriented economy has coerced physicians to become,more or less, business men and patients consumers.The enormity of the problems in healthcare nowadays calls for adoption of new approach to medical education and commensurate answers and response; answers and response which take into account the power of our innate healing systems and thereby recognising the body and the soul as inseparable entities.

Lucille Wood Smith, 31 October 1912, Uvalde, Texas, USA, d. 7 February 2001, Apple Valley, California, USA. Her name was changed to Frances Octavia during her childhood, which was spent in Texas and Arkansas. Smiths first 15 years included some major traumas, having a nervous breakdown at 11, being married at 14 (by lying about her age), becoming a mother at 15, and divorced at 17. After unsuccessfully seeking a singing career in Chicago and Memphis (with a new husband and baby to look after), she moved to WHAS Louisville. Although she auditioned as Marion Lee, she found herself named Dale Evans by the station manager and in spite of her own reservations, the name stuck. She divorced her second husband before marrying pianist Robert Dale Butts from WHAS. Still harbouring aspirations towards a singing career, she returned to Chicago as a jazz singer. She toured the Midwest as vocalist with an orchestra and sang with Fats Waller. Eventually, owing to a...
