Aerospace Bearing Materials
X-ray diffraction has become a popular means of residual stress measurement in the aerospace materials field over the last 50 years. A proposed new guide being developed by ASTM International Committee E28 on Mechanical Testing will provide the necessary information to obtain the most reliable residual stress values as well as identify and evaluate potential errors in measurement, paving the way for future developments.
WK28149, Guide for Residual Stress Measurement by X-Ray Diffraction for Aerospace Bearing Materials, is under the jurisdiction of Subcommittee E28.13 on Residual Stress Management.
"Residual stresses are the stresses that remain after the original cause of the stresses has been removed," says Scott McCarthy, X-ray diffraction technician, FAG Aerospace, and chairman of the task group developing WK28149. "Residual stress plays a major role in bearing life since the total stress experienced by a component is a combination of the applied stress and residual stress."
According to McCarthy, the beneficial or detrimental effects of many processes, such as shot peening, honing, turning, grinding, case hardening and other heat treatments can be quantified with residual stress measurement, which allows for process optimization and monitoring of process parameters.
"Periodic tracking of residual stress during a bearing component's life is also beneficial," says McCarthy. "This provides insight into the eventual failure mode as well as guidance on possible improvements to the initial residual stress state to lengthen component life. Residual stress has even been used to track and predict component life."
Interested parties are invited to participate in the development of WK28149. "The committee mainly consists of representatives from X-ray diffraction equipment producers and laboratories specializing in the field," says McCarthy. "As the proposed guide progresses, more representatives from the customer side will be encouraged to join, including aircraft engine producers and designers."

Siphiwe High School pupils are running riot.
Rejecting the appointment of the new school principal, and demanding a new maths teacher, pupils are vandalising their school, in the Umthombisa area, Upper Tongaat, according to police.
They have locked-up the teachers and broken the windows in protest.
"There was a parents' meeting yesterday and we thought the problem was solved, however we received a call from the school saying that pupils have locked their teachers inside the school premises," said Umhlali SAPS communications officer, warrant officer Vinny Pillay.
He said the problem started yesterday, when pupils downed their pens and broke the schools windows.

I heard a noise on my back deck and found two baby raccoons out there. I guess they were trying to get my bird seed. ANYWAY, I went to scare them off and they were not afraid of me. That kind of scared me into thinking that the momma was nearby and I know that raccoons can be vicious. I captured this picture and then skedaddled inside. I don't know if they were just too young to react (they didn't even hiss) or if they couldn't figure out how to safely get down, or they were waiting on momma. Anyone know raccoon behavior?
baby raccoon behavior
raccoons are usually seen in evening hours or at night.
they are omnivores, like humans, eat both plant and animal.
that is why they often scour our trash bins, we both eat similar things.
it is considered 'unusual' to see them during daylight and more unusual for the young to show no fear of humans.
however both behaviors could be attributed to an untimely demise of the mom-raccoon.
btw - mom probably was now-where to be found
- to permit young to be so close to an unknown human could have resulted in mom attacking you . . .
caution around wild life babies is safer!
small and cute - but Ferocious if they think their young is in danger.
. . .and they DO enjoy bird seed! sunflower seeds do well!
http://fohn.net/raccoon-pictures-facts/raccoon-facts.html I just read this article and it was very good, interesting. I've seen racoon but they stay away from us because I have dog pee in my yard. Only if you corner one will it attack you. They are afraid of you and will run away if they see you. You should be proud that you have been visited by them. If your trash cans are secure and there is no food source they will move on.
My dad's yard gets racoon and possum. He used to leave catfood out for the cats and at night we'd hear a noise, turn on the porch lite and see them squinting, wondering who turned on the lites. The cats would sit there and watch them.
My neighbor has a catdoor to her porch where she feeds her cats and a racoon finishes up the food each nite. She doesn't mind.
So far I've had chickens, eggs and baby chicks all untouched by racoons but there could be trouble at any time. Maybe they have enough food out there in the woods.
Raccoons are born with the rabies but people raise them anyway. I think only if the raccoon's ammune system is compromised do they get the disease.
Please keep the attitude that it is their land that you have moved onto and they are willing to share. Cute picture by the way.
Great article, wormfood. Just one thought, though. Raccoons aren't "born with Rabies." They catch it like any other animal, but due to their lifestyle and physiology are, in most places, one of the animals that has the highest rates of infection. This could also be due to the fact that they tend to live where we live, so are noticed, captured and tested more frequently than other animals. Foxes, coyotes, bats etc--also animals that easily adapt to living near humans--also have high (confirmed) rates of infection in many locales. You should never handle a wild raccoon--including babies--for this reason. You're right--they can be really aggressive if protecting babies or cornered.
We had an expert come on one of our lessons, but it's been many years so they might have learned more since then. The volunteers "assigned" to the racoon care were vaccinated for rabies. I think it was a series of 3 shots.
Raccoons won't necessarily run from humans. Many have been around humans for quite a while and are very, very bold! Don't feed them unless you want an ongoing relationship with possibly a whole family hanging around all the time. I won't be making that mistake again...ever!
Maybe the expert was talking about a rabid, pregnant raccoon passing the disease on to her babies, in the womb. Obviously if there's no exposure, the baby won't just spontaneously be born with the disease.
Yes, anytime you deal with domestic or wild animals, you should be vaccinated for Rabies. Its a series of 3 shots, then if you get bitten you get 2 additional shots just to ensure you have full immunity.
that is an adorable picture.
do you know how long the series is good for I had it about 5 years ago agter a dog bite
BirdieBlue--its not "good' for any particular length of time i.e. the length/level of protection varies person to person. If you feel you are still at risk of contracting rabies (i.e. you are exposed to animals that might carry it) just ask your doctor to check your titer to the rabies virus. A titer is basically a measurement of how your body responds to exposure to the virus. It reflects the level of immunity still remaining from your previous vaccine. Simple to do--just a blood sample--but may not be covered by your insurance.
JulieQ, other posters have given you good information here, so I can only add my two cents' worth from working in animal control for some years. The photo is adorable, and shows an apparently very healthy, very young raccoon; and I can tell you from experience that raccoons with rabies typically act and look very ill and abnormal. However, it is never either wise or safe to closely approach or especially to corner any wild animal; they will defend themselves if they can't escape, just as we would in the same circumstances.
Raccoons have adapted beautifully to living around humans; they exist all around us in cities, suburbs, and rural areas, and we often are unaware of their presence until they bring themselves to our attention in some way - as by raiding bird feeders, pet food, trash cans, and ponds, which are among their favorite scavenging sites. They are often active in daylight or twilight, and this alone is not a sign of illness. Raccoons do not instinctively fear humans; their mothers typically teach the young to be very cautious around humans and dogs, both species being responsible for a lot of injury and/or death for their species. It's quite possible that the two young ones you saw are orphaned, or that mother was watching them from a distance; if the mother was present, you did nothing to threaten the babies, so she'd have seen no reason to risk intervening.
If you want to deter them from visiting your property, you need to remove all food sources, at least during dark hours; the bird feeders especially need to be brought inside, put in garage, etc. for the night. Like most of us, raccoons are creatures of habit; once they find a reliable food source, they will continue to visit. If removing the feeders is not practical, you can spray the seed with a taste repellent like Ropel or tabasco sauce; the birds won't mind, the raccoons certainly will. Put something heavy like a cinder block on your trash cans or curb-side dumpster; raccoons are amazingly good with front paw manual dexterity, and can make a mess of trash in their search for food. If you can consistently eliminate the food sources around your home, they will move on in search of greener pastures.
The bottom line is that I would not panic about the fear of rabies or attack by a mother raccoon as long as you keep your distance from the young ones. Yes, theoretically female raccoons can pass the virus to the young in their uterus, assuming they live long enough to deliver. But this is unlikely, and it's even more unlikely that the young would survive to the age in your photo without succumbing to the disease. And in any case, transmission to anyone else would require very close contact, usually a bite or other immediate contact between the saliva of an infected raccoon to the broken skin of a new animal or person. You simply need to decide if you want to discourage the raccoons from visiting your property; if you do, as do most people, you need to make it unattractive by removing all food sources for quite some time, until they get discouraged and move elsewhere in their daily foraging.
Good luck, and please keep us posted-
If its rabies your worried about just call a nature canter to relocate them. They catch them, quarinteen them while they are undergoing testing. If negative they relocate them
Iluvcatz, I'm confused. Sent lots of animals for rabies testing in my years in animal control, and the animal always had to be euthanized. The test is performed on brain tissue, so I don't quite see how it could be run on a living animal. If they've discovered a way to do so in the last few years, that's a huge advance and more than welcome.
they dont euthanize dogs right away do they? I rember a case around here where a pet dog killed a fox that tested positave. The local shelter quarinteened the dog for around 2 months while tests where being done.
Maby they where keeping the dog for obsorvation, I'm not sure. After all I am still learning.
they quarantined for observation. If the animal ( or person) has been infected the symptoms will show up within a few short weeks. 2 months of Quarantine without any symptoms assures the subject t be free from the virus.
Sparta is correct, there is no test other than the testing of brain tissue.
Thank you all for your informative responses. I have not seen the darlings again since that night.
Because of their exploring on my deck (and also because of the abundance of squirrels) I have been putting out only enough birdseed for daylight hours.
I have lots of wildlife since I live on the edge of a woods. These guys have to have been the CUTEST!
Julie, baby raccoons are too cute, aren't they? They look so darn clever, and in this their looks don't deceive a bit.
Iluvcatz, you're absolutely right about the dog quarantine. If a dog or cat contacts an animal who tested positive for rabies, the domestic animal is quarantined from one to six months, depending on state law and the animal's vaccine status. The problem for wildlife is that no test have been done to conclusively determine the incubation period for rabies in all species, so wildlife is not quarantined - just euthanized and tested for rabies. The law is understandably very very conservative on the subject of rabies, since it is a disease that can be prevented with vaccines but is invariably fatal once contracted. With owned domestic animals, however, the law takes owners' emotions into consideration, and allows the animal to be quarantined at owner expense.

No one ever got fired for not buying Windows Vista.
Let's face it: CIOs didn't have to make that tough a call on the last big PC operating system upgrade. With three-fourths of companies skipping Vista and sticking with XP, according to our latest research, it became clear soon after the Vista launch that the safe bet was for companies to avoid the OS, with its application compatibility problems and heavyweight hardware requirements, and wait for the next version.
[Virtual Event: Business Case For Windows 7 -- Join Microsoft's top Windows executives and InformationWeek's editors for a live, interactive Webcast that will dive into how enterprises large and small are evaluating the benefits -- and weighing the challenges -- of migrating to the new platform. Find out more and register.]
Now it's decision time.
Windows 7 is here for businesses (the consumer release is scheduled for Oct. 22) and holds tantalizing improvements in terms of security, employee productivity, and bandwidth management. Think about it. Are you really playing it "safe" to stick with stable and trusted friend XP again, despite the fact that it was first released eight years ago? Consider that this safe haven is an operating system from another era, particularly in terms of security, and is losing Microsoft support. Still, just 16% of companies plan to implement Windows 7 within a year, our InformationWeek Analytics survey of 1,414 business technology pros finds, while just over a third have no plans.
The good news is that Windows 7 is looking like a solid operating system--nine of 10 companies that have tested it rate it as at least satisfactory, and more than a third consider it excellent. Vista, in comparison, even today gets a poor rating from 43% of survey respondents. "The pervasive view out there is that 7 is probably better than Vista, and I'm buying it," says Jim Green, CIO of Los Angeles County Public Health, which has about 5,000 PCs. "We're not applying the old, standard 'wait till SP1' approach. The strategy is to begin upgrading as soon as we can."
Green's in the middle of a PC refresh now and has been moving new PCs to Vista, but his employees have the most up-to-date technology at home and want it at work, he says. He sees significant usability improvements in Windows 7, to which he'll upgrade many of the agency's PCs.
At ETS-Lindgren, which makes energy measurement and management products, the reasoning is concrete cost savings. Global IT architect Jeff Border says 70% of the company's 600 existing PCs can run Windows 7 without the major hardware upgrades Vista requires. So he expects he can slow new PC purchases while still upgrading older machines to Windows 7. Plus, he cut licensing costs by negotiating to become an early adopter.
For food giant Del Monte, the overall picture of an operating system that's easier to use is the productivity payoff, even if it can't pin that down to a hard ROI. "If you have a computer that you're using 40 hours a week, and you're traveling with it, and it's easy to use, easy to start up and shut down, easy to find things, and you don't have to become your own little IT people to diagnose your own problems, that's an increase in productivity," says Jonathan Wynn, Del Monte's manager of advanced technology and collaborative services.
Wynn also believes that giving employees the latest Microsoft software helps employee retention. Yet compatibility problems scared Del Monte away from Vista, and its 2,900 PCs almost all run Windows XP SP3. Now the company hopes to start migrating to Win 7 within a month.
While Win 7 tempts, there's no great dissatisfaction driving people off Windows XP, which runs on about eight of every 10 business PCs. Taken together--positive reviews of Windows 7, XP's ongoing popularity, and Vista's ongoing flop--just about half of all companies have firm plans for a Windows 7 deployment, ranging from the next six months to more than two years.

Re: How to make LMDE uptodate ?
Currently, Debian Testing (from which LMDE is based off of) is in a state of deep freeze due to the upcoming release of Debian Squeeze as stable. So for the last few months, very few packages have been updated, except to fix bugs and the like. Once the freeze is over, updates will start flowing in again and LMDE will continue to roll along.
As for Firefox, it'll be updated when the Mint devs have time to release an update for it, I suppose. (Firefox isn't actually in the Debian repos.)

Swansea-based GRS Care Ltd provides assisted living and care
services across South Wales. In June this year entrepreneurs Ceri
Todd, Amrita Amin and Dave Howells used a Finance Wales loan to buy
into the company. As the company's new Chairman, Dave Howells
speaks about his experience of the management buy-in.
Why did you decide to embark on a management buy-in of
GRS Care?
I was interested in the social care sector and
GRS stood out as an established care provider with impressive
standards and a successful track record spanning 20 years. I also
believed the company had enormous potential and building on this
success was an attractive proposition.
Did you have any previous experience of
management buy-ins beforehand?
Yes, I had some indirect experience with a
previous company, but I learned a lot from going through it
directly myself.
How did you find the
The key element for me was to understand what
the existing owner wanted to achieve from the sale and whether or
not I could fund the process. Once I established this, we were able
to reach agreement in principle together quite quickly.
The details of the deal were quite complex and
included funding from a number of different sources. The experience
of the financial advisors we used as well as Finance Wales was key
in helping to structure the deal and guide it through.
Were you worried about coming from a
different sector/industry to GRS Care?
No, not really. I had an interest in the social
care sector and the market research I conducted beforehand helped
me to understand the business' sustainability and growth potential.
The due diligence process gave me confidence in the financials of
the business.
Since the management buy-in how have you
found your new position as Chairman?
Initially challenging, as I expected it to be. I

Sometimes I wonder if, back in the roaring 1990s, all those black families who lived in shanty shacks and cracker houses and cement block apartments just outside downtown West Palm Beach put a hex on the city when they moved out. They'd been relocated, evicted, or strongly encouraged to sell so their homes could be bulldozed for what eventually became the uppercrusty live/shop complex City Place. That was supposed to be the beginning of a renaissance for a city that has been limping on gimpy legs ever since, frantic to attract businesses that will put down stakes and draw lots of jolly people to ride in those empty horse-drawn carriages and quaint little trolley cars. Ding-ding! All aboard!
West Palm has certainly had one piece of bad luck after the next in the last decade, a litany of woes that would almost make you feel sorry for the planners if they hadn't bungled so much else out of greed and hubris. Street reconstruction stretched into years; historic buildings sat blinking their blind, vacant eyes; and anybody tracking the revolving door of restaurants and shops — the ever-hopeful and the inevitably failing — couldn't help but see that the city's problems needed more fixing than cheery forecasts from local PR flaks could provide.
One such forecast crossed my path a few months ago, courtesy of the sunnily optimistic, glass-half-full office of Carey O'Donnell, a publicist who's been around long enough to have seen it all. "New Businesses Flock to Downtown West Palm Beach" the headline trumpeted. Seeing as how it was almost summer when I received this piece of good news, when life is slow around these parts, I put off checking out all the flocking and jostling until the weather cooled. When it got to be October and the humidity index dropped under 90, I ventured out to see what I could see.
Taverna Yiasou
Taverna Yiasou, 221 Datura St., West Palm Beach. Open Monday through Friday 11 a.m. till 9:30 p.m., Saturdays 4 till 10 p.m. Call 561-296-2320.
I had in mind a newish Greek place on Datura Street called Taverna Yiasou; it opened last spring. As coincidence would have it, a contaminated water alert that stretched into a week of boiled water and showerless mornings for local residents had put a bit of an e. coli-infected damper on things. You had to wonder how, if locals were brushing their teeth with San Pellegrino, a restaurateur was supposed to be able to turn out three-course meals for customers without, presumably, washing a dish or mopping a floor. "You couldn't pay me to eat down there right now," a friend remarked.
Apparently a lot of other people agreed. As we executed our pre-prandial stroll from Narcissus Avenue up Clematis and along Federal, we passed nary a soul. It was 8 p.m. on a beautiful, breezy Saturday night, and even Starbucks was shuttered. A few other fooderies had been brave enough or desperate enough to stay open: We passed Ken's Steakhouse on Narcissus, entirely customer-free, where the proprietor sat at an outdoor table, sighing audibly.
West Palm Beach looked like an abandoned stage set after the gay troupe has moved on. But as we came round a corner, there was Taverna Yiasou glittering like a mirage. Light spilled from open doors, and customers kicked back at sidewalk tables, puffing cigars, ragging each other in exotic dialects. Inside, only one booth was open, and it had our name on it. We parked ourselves and observed the bustle: baby girls in party dresses draped in frills, grown up girls in stacked heels and spray-on skirts, guys in slouchy suits, old men patting the fannies of the grown-up girls, everybody kissing and hugging and glad-handing and roaming between tables, making merry. We'd found ourselves in the middle of a big fat Greek party.
And we allowed how this was probably a very good sign, because, after all, transplanted Athenians oughta know their spanakopita, right?
As it turned out, these Greeks were indeed experts of grilled octopus grape leaves stuffed with lamb and rice; avgolemono, a lemon-orzo soup, which is free with an entrée; and flaming cheeses. On the other hand, they knew zilch about fillet of sole, squat about swordfish, nada about sautéed shrimp; and their expertise with pork souvlaki was null and void. Our meal was uneven the way a roller coaster is: exhilarating highs and stomach-churning lows. My ride kept racing downhill at lunch a couple of days later.
I don't really get why this should be so. Odis Giakis, the personable guy who owns Taverna Yiasou, had two Greek restaurants before this one, in Delray and Greenacres. Any kinks in his menu or delivery should long since have been ironed flat. Yiasou's decor is consumer-friendly, with tile floors and blue-and-white-checked tablecloths, fishing nets, oversized photos of Greek scenery, sturdy chairs, and shelves displaying Mediterranean groceries for sale, including yogurt, tahini, orzo, a couple of imported cheeses, dried oregano, anchovies, and phyllo dough. It's an everyday kind of place, not so chic as its competitor a block over, Leila, which serves a similar menu in an entirely different register.
Our dinner started excellently. When the staff flamed our saganaki Yiasou (kefalo gravera cheese soaked in brandy and set alight, $9.95) the fire nearly licked the ceiling. An impressive display, and the melted cheese, spooned onto grilled pita, oozed in a most appetizing way. A vegetarian platter ($10.95) offered sweet-salty slices of eggplant, crosshatched from the grill; excellent and satisfyingly lemony lamb-and-rice-stuffed dolmades; and a flaky, savory triangle of spanakopita, the de rigeur spinach and feta pie. Super-tender char-grilled octopus ($10.95), dripping with olive oil and served with chunks of chopped tomato, hit the spot. And although it was over-thickened with cornstarch, the avgolemono had a zesty punch.
You could say we were thrilled with our mezes, or small entrées; all we lacked was a bottle of ouzo. These salty, sour dishes are just the thing to soak up your booze, and we should have polished them off, folded our napkins, belched politely, and trotted away, happily sated. Because the entrées that followed were a disaster.
Only the grilled lamb chops ($21.95) were what you would call edible. As soon as they set our fish down in front of us — a broiled filet of sole ($16.95) with lemon and oregano, and a swordfish steak ($17.95) marinated and charbroiled, I knew by the smell that they were a long way from fresh. I should have predicted the fish was going to be lousy — when was the last time anybody saw filet of sole on a menu for less than 45 bucks? This one was no bargain: full of bones, dry as a summer day in hell, greasy, and smelly. One bite and you wanted to throw it across the room. The swordfish, a thin, desiccated fillet, was no better, despite a very liberal hand with the lemon juice. No bargain either were the sautéed shrimp (garithes santorini, $18.95) — handfuls of feta and tomato couldn't save these babies, which tasted like they'd spent more time than necessary in a freezer.
Somebody in the kitchen needs to figure out how to use salt and oregano. Almost every dish we ate was over-salted — from just slightly (as a salt-lover I don't mind this) to inedibly. And the dried oregano Yiasou uses is bitter and acrid. In our climate there's no excuse for not keeping a big pot of fresh herbs on a windowsill.
Lunch a couple of days later evidenced the same problems. Hummus ($5.95) was so unbalanced by salt and lemon that I couldn't eat more than a couple of bites. The pork chunks in my souvlaki ($7.95) were just short of rancid, overwhelmed by bitter oregano, and super-charred so that they left a bitter aftertaste.
How a Mediterranean restaurant could screw up hummus is beyond me. The stuff gives you a lot of leeway. It's not like you have to measure your tahini and chickpeas precisely. It's not rocket science; it's not even basic astronomy, which the Greeks have always excelled at. You have to be almost willfully ignorant or hostile to serve food this salty, odiferous, or blackened.

I hate this. I hate having to criticize these people, because I so want Yiasou to prosper. I like the owner and the servers and the clientele; I like the casual atmosphere and reasonable prices, the Greek groceries and wines. I can see myself stopping in to pick up a tub of that rich, inimitable yogurt and an order of eggplant dip to go. Why can't they just be better than they are? Why not taste that hummus before it goes out of the kitchen?
But then along came the sweetest girl from behind the counter, after our practically untouched main-course plates had been cleared, who told us they'd just made that day's wonderful galaktoboureko ($4.50), a custard pie wrapped in honey-drenched phyllo. "This is my favorite," she said. "If you don't like it, I'll eat it for you."
Our slab of galaktoboureko came to the table, a piece big enough for four, along with a cup of Greek coffee. The custard is made from an imported mix (which they also sell, f.y.i.). We inhaled every scrumptious bite — sweet, vaguely nutty, smooth, and eggy against the crumbly phyllo. The grounds of my coffee, the sweet girl informed me, had made a pattern on the inside of the cup predictive of money. (About damned time, too, I said.)
I wish those coffee grounds had predicted success for Yiasou, and the whole downtown of West Palm Beach while they were at it. It's time to lift the curse that's addled this city for more than a decade. A good way to start would be for the restaurants that have found their way here to consistently serve great food. And they can start with a pot of fresh herbs. Plants tend to flourish, as should smart businesses, in this kind of sunshine.

While many of us are still flummoxed over Glenn Miller's alleged meltdown in Overland Park (a reminder that he is still innocent until proven guilty in a court of law), life goes on, the Cause remains just, and according to this Stormfront thread, a group of Ukrainian nationalists successfully confronted antifa scum in Chicago on the antifas' own turf. Looks like a reversal of Tinley Park. I found no mainstream media account of this confrontation.
The original source of the information is an antifa website called The Red Phoenix, but I will try to render a serviceable translation. The antifa were sponsoring a "teach-in" at United Electric Hall on S. Ashland in Chicago on April 12th, 2014. Apparently some Ukrainian nationalists, aware of the Chicago antifas' reputation for unprovoked gratuitous violence against those who think differently than them, had infiltrated the gathering to take pictures of the antifa leaders. The alleged purpose was to publicize the photos to warn the greater community against them. The nationalists were detected and forced to leave, after which forty Maidan supporters and at least one "Right Sector" supporter, displaying the flags of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and other related regalia, attempted to invade the venue to teach the antifa a lesson. Antifa security kept the nationalists from reaching the participants by actively holding them back as they attempted entry through the double-doors of the Union Hall. Police were summoned, and the nationalists sought to press charges against the antifa, but after police dissuaded them from pressing charges due to insufficient pretext, the nationalists decided they had accomplished their mission and left with their heads held high.
Both Maidan and Right Sector are nationalist groups which strive to defend Ukrainian territorial and political integrity and which are opposed to Russian actions against the Ukraine. This poses a dilemma for white racialists worldwide, because it presents the spectre of Ukrainian whites battling against Russian whites. The recent history of the region is quite complex; don't forget, the Bolsheviks reinvented borders and moved entire peoples (like the Crimean Tatars) around like pawns on a chessboard. In 1954, Soviet General Secretary Nikita Khrushchev, who was Ukrainian, transferred the Crimea to the Ukraine even though the Crimea was predominantly Russian; since the Soviet Union governed the entire area, it didn't occur to the Russian majority that they would eventually be living in a foreign country. But when the Ukraine became independent in 1992, Russians in the Crimea suddenly found themselves living in a foreign country. In fact, every former Soviet republic which achieved independence since 1992 contains large numbers of Russians.
How would you feel if you were a white person living in Arizona and Arizona suddenly became part of Mexico?
On the other hand, Russian President Vladimir Putin's well-intentioned efforts to resolve the problem with minimal fuss have generated concern. In 2008, the Russians forcibly amputated South Ossetia and Abkhazia from Georgia. Now the Russians have amputated the Crimea from the Ukraine. Before each event, the Russians granted passports on demand to the residents of these regions to strengthen the pretext for amputation. Because Russia has done this a second time, it is appropriate to question whether or not Russia will try this wherever there is a significant Russian minority. Will Estonia or Latvia be next? Is it fair to ask Russia's neighbors to live with that uncertainty?
Nevertheless, Putin has done some good things for Russia. He eliminated the malaise of the Yeltsin regime, during which Russia had become the toy of plutocrats. Putin has taken a strong stand against the promotion and statutory protection of the homosexual lifestyle, prohibiting gay pride marches and the dissemination of pro-gay propaganda to minors. And when the seven Pussy Riot whores desecrated a Russian Orthodox cathedral with their obscene filth in February 2012, Russia came down hard, jailing two of them for two years. In a world awash with the corruption of ZOG Babylon the Third and Final, Russia, under Putin's leadership, stands out as a beacon of righteousness.
When two white nations threaten to square off in conflict, it is difficult to take sides. The only thing we can do is to ask both sides not to allow themselves to be coopted by outsiders who have neither the interests of Russia not the Ukraine at heart. Perhaps a deal can be reached in which Ukraine keeps their remaining territory and gets back titular sovereignty over the Crimea (Russia would retain military basing rights), but would partially subsidize the relocation of Russian Ukrainians who want to move back to Russia.

The Big Upside of Customer Participation
- Blog
- Read Time: 2 min
Encouraging customers to provide feedback and recommendations directly to a company engages them in valuable ways. Researchers looked at customers of a global bank who engaged in either positive word of mouth, or provided suggestions, or both. They found that customers who ranked high in participation tended to purchase more products and services. In other words, participation was more closely associated with customer spending than word of mouth was.

Whitewater's Home Lumber marks 125 years with state honor
"We just kept asking people what they wanted, and we just ran with it," he said. "We want to give our customers the best experience possible when they come here. We want to take their expectations to the next level."
Home Lumber, 499 Whitewater St., recently was named a Wisconsin Family Business of the Year in the small-company category for businesses with fewer than 50 employees.
Hale said the rigorous application process�crammed into three weeks because of a late nomination from the state Department of Commerce�was the most gratifying experience of his career.
"We didn't think we had a chance of winning," he said. "But we now have something that will be a testament to our business and our family for the future."
Home Lumber this year is celebrating 125 years in business.
The tradition of working with wood has been passed through four generations of Hales: Jack Preston Hale, a carpenter and coffin maker in England; Jack Hale, who was known for building the best homes, barns and churches in Whitewater; Don Hale, who learned craftsmanship from his father; Geoff Hale, who now owns and operates the family business; and Christopher, Michael and MacKenzie Hale, who are heirs to the family legacy.
History of service
The Hale family built its sawmills in the heart of old-growth timber forests and powered them with water that flowed from the Kettle Moraine. The business provided coal and lumber as well as baled hay and straw for the growing town.
The business grew, and the family moved its operations in 1966. The business burned to the ground�one of the largest fires in city history�just before the grand opening in 1967, but the family rebuilt on the same site.
The business continued to expand. The family created Wisconsin's first drive-through lumberyard in 1982. They launched one of the first online shopping outlets in 1996.
Home Lumber now is about more than lumber. The company offers a variety of home-improvement products and services in its downtown facilities and online store.
"We've always been good at throwing mud on the wall," Hale said. "Sometimes it sticks, sometimes it doesn't, but we can't change and grow if we don't try."
The main downtown building serves as a museum for family heirlooms�tools of the woodworking trade, photographs and other knick-knacks. The family name is affixed to trophies, plaques and dozens of awards throughout the store. Pride and tradition are as much as part of the d�cor as power tools and paint cans.
The Hale family long has had a commitment to the community.
The company sponsors Catch-A-Dream, a program that grants hunting and fishing experiences to terminally ill children and teens. It participates in Make A Difference Day, an annual day of volunteer service. It regularly contributes materials, money and time to Habitat for Humanity, and the company has been involved in building seven houses.
Home Lumber also has been instrumental in reviving the downtown.
"You've only got one chance to give back," Hale said. "They say the more you give, the more you get. But it's not about what you get; it's about just being able to give."
Building a better business
Home Lumber is a family business not because it has been run by generations of the same family but because the whole company�from top to bottom�is a family.
"We strive to grow our business from the bottom up instead of the top down," Hale said.
The business focuses on exhibiting a positive attitude and providing personal, professional customer service.
"We hire and fire attitude on the spot," Hale said.
Every employee must go through "the gauntlet," a series of up to 20 interviews, and is expected to complete a required reading list upon their start with the company.
Only nine of the more than 40 employees are Hales, but each has a stake in the company. The employees boast between 600 and 700 collective years of building and construction experience.
"We truly have a family of people, here, who we have the responsibility to take care of and who have given that back," Hale said.
Fontana boat business also named a champion
Gordon "Gordy" Whowell lends his name not only to a lakeside business but also to decades of memories made on Geneva Lake.
Gordy's Lakefront Marine, 320 Lake St., recently was named a Wisconsin Family Business of the Year in the medium-company category for businesses with 51 to 100 employees.
Gordy's has a long tradition of providing fun in the sun and water in the Geneva Lake area.
"You haven't been to Lake Geneva if you haven't been to Gordy's," the company is fond of saying.
Gordy's started in 1955 as a small seasonal boat ride business. Whowell captained the sole boat, "Effie," and charged visitors $1 to take a cruise around the lake and listen to his stories. Families came from all over to experience "a millionaire's thrill for one thin bill."
Gordy's grew in the decades to follow. Whowell and his family added full marine service, boat storage and boat rentals. The business now boasts a marina, show room, pro shop, bait shop and restaurant.
Tom Whowell took over the business after his father died in 1988. He and his wife raised their four children in the hustle and bustle of a resort town and instilled in them the same love for the area that had been a part of the family for years. The kids now run the family business.
The Whowells exhibit one of the benchmark attributes of a successful family business, according to a news release from Smith & Gesteland of Madison, the accounting firm that in part sponsors the award program.
The family meets weekly to discuss the business. They see a recently formed family council as a way to preserve family tradition and ownership and to give structure and guidance to future generations, according to the release.

Balls Of Light Illuminate The Landscapes
Australian professional light painter and photographer Denis Smith shares his insight on his lights.
It is a sense of awe and a calming effect that photographer and light painter Denis Smith's Ball Of Light collection has on his audience. In his photos, there are balls of light that seem to hover in the air in breathtaking backdrops. Skeptics may assume that there's a lot of photoshopping and editing in creating Smith's collection. However, in a curious and restless state, Denis Smith studied the art of light painting and found a way to combine it to his photography background.
Light painting is a niche area in photography where a hand-held light is moved around at night in certain way to create its own image. Smith compares,
With normal photography, the shutter opens and closes in a photograph, and you get a snapshot of what's there in front of the camera. And with light painting, what you do is the shutter stays open for a long period of time, so when it's a dark environment, it brings more light in, and if you move a light around in front of the camera, it stays embedded in the picture.
Often times, the light source is invisible in the photograph making it seem as if the light has a life of its own. In order to create the photographs, Smith takes a lot of care in preparing a Ball of Light photograph by checking the weather to ensure little wind and a low tide (if by the water). Smith also tracks the moon because the full moon is what makes Smith's photograph seem as if they were taken during the day, rather than at night.
Smith likes to think that the balls are "portals into another place or another time." The photographs can be interpreted in many ways, but there is a definite unique quality that naturally draws in an audience.

Reserve Syrah Club
Each quarter club members receive 3 reserve Syrahs. Our reserve wines are typically aged for almost two years in the barrel and one year in the bottle before release. They are selected barrels from each harvest. We typically produce 5 different vineyard designated reserve Syrahs and several reserve blends such as Upslope and High Tide. We typically include 2 or 3 of each vineyard designated Syrah in each quarter. Shipments typically cost between $120 to $140 each quarter plus any applicable tax and shipping.
Anthology Club
Each quarter club members receive 3 different wines. We typically bottle between 12 and 15 different wines each year. Anthology club members receive a bottle of almost every wine we produce each year. This typically includes 3 white wines, 6 different Syrahs, and 4 other red wines. We try and organize the shipments to provide the most variety of wine and cost. Shipments typically cost between $90 and $100 each quarter plus any applicable tax and shipping.
Join Both Clubs
Many members choose to be in both clubs so they can have a selection of everything we make and also have additional reserve Syrahs. Double memberships are also available for people that want two bottles of each different wine or 4 to 6 bottles of each vineyard designated Syrah.

Transaction document
Transaction documents refers to legally relevant documents that are either printed, inserted and mailed, or electronically presented.[1] They consist of a mixture of fixed and variable data.
These documents are usually created by organizations through their financial computing system and then delivered to other parties (such as clients) through the post office or through an electronic billing system. The printed transaction documents, once delivered to the post office, conform to the mail box rule.
Common examples of transaction documents are:
- bills
- bank statements (and credit card, financial services, etc.)
- insurance policies
- notices
- other legally relevant correspondence, etc.
Xplor international is a technical association that focuses on the best practices and technologies associated with these documents.

From the outside, Alix London appears to have it all. Unfortunately for Alix, what you see isn't exactly what you get. A brilliant, once-promising art student, the daughter of a prominent New York art conservator, Alix and her world were left in ruins when her father went to prison for art forgery. Then she meets Christine Lemay, a novice art collector with deep pockets and a handle on a recently discovered painting by American master Georgia O'Keeffe. Chris needs the painting authenticated....
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
The second Alix London Mystery finds the art restorer in a world brimming with idle luxury, spectacular locations, and deadly intrigue. Surrounded by art and wealth and the sun-drenched Greek isles, she's aboard a sumptuous mega-yacht with no responsibilities save the occasional lecture to the guests of her temporary employer, Panos Papadakis, one of the world's richest men. But there's a catch: Papadakis has long been suspected of being at the center of a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme and Alix is actually there as an undercover operative of FBI special agent Ted Ellesworth, a member of the Bureau's Art Crime Team.
When art conservator Alix London spots a forgery, she knows trouble will follow. So she's understandably apprehensive when her connoisseur's eye spots something off about a multimillion-dollar Jackson Pollock painting at Palm Springs's Brethwaite Museum - her current employer. Alix is already under fire, the object of a vicious online smear campaign. Now the Brethwaite's despicable senior curator, obsessed with the "maximization of monetized eyeballs," angrily refuses to decommission the celebrated Pollock piece.
Good trilogy but not enough of a plot in the last book, but nevertheless a good read.
Alix London, the art restorer and FBI consultant renowned as the Art Whisperer, can spot a counterfeit masterpiece before the paint even dries. What she can't see is why an elite European art dealer would offer her big money for a little mirror that's no more than a homemade gift from her beloved uncle Tiny. Not that Alix would part with it at any price. But when the mirror is abruptly stolen from her home, she realizes that someone sees more in the looking glass than mere sentimental value.

The jihadist group Islamic State, formerly the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), rose to prominence in June as it swept through northern Iraq, conquering major cities like Mosul and Tikrit. One month later, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon suggested that the group is "deeply worrisome" and countries should sanction it.
According to Reuters, Ban responded to the growing crisis in a UN report obtained by Reuters on Tuesday. In the report, he called the group's rise in the region "deeply worrisome" and encouraged nations to refuse to sell ISIS weapons or goods necessary for war. Ban "strongly condemn[ed]" the use of violence by ISIS and issued a call on UN member states to "come together and support Iraq in its fight against terrorism… Member states must meet their obligation to implement and enforce the targeted financial sanctions, arms embargo and travel ban imposed on ISIS." He emphasized the cooperation of nations in the region, such as Syria – which is facing its own ISIS invasion – to prevent the free travel of jihadists from battlefield to battlefield.
Ban's sudden concern with the jihadist group, so brutal it has received warnings from the Taliban to stop being so extreme, appears to be a recent development. Less than one month ago, Ban appeared more concerned by the potential that Western nations could help destroy ISIS and stop it from conquering Iraqi territory than with the threat of ISIS itself. Intervention by the United States or other nations, he warned, "would help them [ISIS] mobilize support from the Sunni majority that does not share the extremist agenda. It is essential that the government of Iraq and its supporters do everything possible to avoid falling into this trap."
The Obama administration promised to help the government of Iraq combat the ISIS threat but has stopped short of putting troops on the ground in the region. ISIS, in response, has used social media to mock the Obama administration – even the First Lady – as they continue to acquire American-made vehicles in their acquisition of Iraqi military bases and territory.
While sanctions on ISIS may have had an effect should the international community not sell them weapons months ago, ISIS acquires much of its ammunition now as spoils of war. Many of its humvees, hand weapons, and rockets are loot left over in places like Mosul and Tikrit, where the Iraqi army failed to keep ISIS from establishing itself. In this way it also acquires what is left over in banks from which Iraqis have fled for their lives, and supermarkets whose food they now ration to the civilians trapped in ISIS-controlled areas.

Leland takes job with the Minnesota Golf Association
Alexandria native Maggie Leland is moving on from playing in golf tournaments around the region to managing them after her career at Augustana College came to an end this past spring.
Leland graduated from Augustana in Sioux Falls with degrees in business administration and sports management after starting her college career as a nursing major. She switched her focus for her sophomore year and has spent her summers working in golf administration, including the last two as the United States Golf Association's P.J. Boatwright intern with the South Dakota Golf Association.
That experience made her a perfect fit for her new role as the Women's Golf Manager as she accepted the position with the Minnesota Golf Association (MGA) as of June 11.
"I was very excited," Leland said. "It means a lot to me to be working in the golf association that I grew up in and to have familiar faces around. I haven't been working very long, but it's been everything that I could have hoped for."
Leland's job is based out of Edina. Her primary responsibilities will be organizing and running tournaments for the Minnesota Women's Golf Association and the Minnesota Women's Public Golf Association. Leland is plenty familiar with the MGA after growing up playing in events and even earning the MGA's Junior Girls' Player of the Year honor.
Leland is a former Class AAA individual state champion during her senior year in Alexandria in 2010. She went on to captain the women's golf team at Augustana College and become a two-time Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) individual champion.
Leland played in the NCAA Division II National Championships during her first three seasons as a Viking. She finished as high as 13th place individually during her sophomore season.
Leland and the Vikings failed to qualify as a team for the NCAA Championships this spring for the first time since 2007 after Augustana finished fifth in the Central Region Championships in early May. Leland went into college with a goal of winning an individual national championship but couldn't be disappointed with how things ultimately played out over her four years as a Viking.
"I think it was very successful," she said. "It was obviously disappointing to not make it to nationals for the fourth year. I guess post-college, when you look back it's about the experience and not about the accomplishments. I couldn't have asked for better coaches and teammates to work with throughout my four years."
After playing in competitive tournaments almost her whole life, Leland will now shift her focus to managing them. Her role with the MGA will keep her busy all golf season, but she's excited to still be in the game of golf with a chance to make a living through the sport she loves.
"It's kind of just been my dream to work in it now," Leland said. "I'll be still playing but just not playing competitively nearly as much. I'll be working all the championships now. Down the road I'll get involved in like club tournaments or leagues, but at least in the immediate future I won't be playing in any championships."

I recently rediscovered a black lace skirt in my closet that I've haven't worn for years and find now that it's right on trend! I had worn it with just a plain bouse but now am wondering if I can pair it w/ a layered ruffle top or maybe w/ an animal print. I can't decide if it's all too busy, especially the leopard print. Any opinions??

USD/JPY (a 4-hour chart)
General Overview
The single most influential "stimulus" for the pair USD/JPY was the reports from the Fed last week. The fact that the Central Bank will start the dollar tightening sooner than it was expected provoked a sharp rise in the tool. However, these impressions apparently weakened that could contribute to the Japanese corporations profits repatriation and to stopped the U.S. "Treasuries" growth profitability.
The support level is 102.23, the next one is 101.60. The first resistance level is 103.00, the next one - 103.80.
The pair is growing. Kijun-sen and Tenkan-sen are horizontal. The northern movement is strong. The cloud is neutral. The pair is in the Cloud now. The northern movement remains until Kijun-Sen is below the price.
MACD histogram is in a positive zone. The histogram is decreasing.
Trading recommendations
The strong resistance level 102.60 retest led to the formation of a two days consolidation.
The 102.60 resistance level is the only obstacle for the bulls. This level break will lead to the medium uptrend continuation. The nearest target at the downward trendline is 103.00. Shall the price consolidate above 103.00 that will allow the buyers to go to the next mark, located at around 103.80.

In an age when few taboos remain, world-renowned jazz singer Gregory Porter chooses to exercise a little restraint. It's how he pulls off the song "Magic Cup," which is full of double-entendre and includes a line about "grinding beans and steaming cream," yet still manages to leave listeners wondering whether he's talking about coffee or lovemaking. "Unfortunately, it's not so popular today because people just kind of want to tell you right to your face exactly what it is they're talking about: 'Put your leg on me,'" Porter says. But while the slyness of his lyrics may seem like a relic of bygone eras, Porter's voice — a honeyed baritone with incredible expressive power — will always be in style. And with a longtime team of collaborators backing him, he's winning audiences over worldwide. —Paul Bowers.

What they said: Rickie FowlerJuly 03, 2011
PGA TOUR staff
MORE INTERVIEWS: AT&T National transcript archive Q. Describe today. Obviously it just wasn't to be.
RICKIE FOWLER: Yeah, I just couldn't get anything going today. A little pickup there, but other than that I really couldn't get anything to go. I was burning some edges and nothing would fall.
Q. How different was the course today as opposed to yesterday??
RICKIE FOWLER: It was definitely tougher. There were some pins that were tough to get to, and you had to hit the fairway to be able to do that. Unfortunately it seemed like every front pin you need to be able to control the ball to, I ended up in the rough, and every back pin I was in the fairway and it didn't matter as much.
Just a tough day, but I learned a lot. It was great to be in that position. You know, it's good to see what other guys do in the same situation and how they handle themselves.
Q. Nick went out there and got it done.
RICKIE FOWLER: He did. I knew someone was going to have to play well to win. 4-under was a great score, and he made some putts.

To come up with a billion-dollar idea, say ideation experts Kevin P. Coyne and Shawn T. Coyne, you need to phrase the right questions in a "hard" way that forces thinkers to look for major departures from current practices, significant exceptions versus average consumer needs, and cost differences.
For example, don't just ask, "What stops some people who like our product from buying it?"
Ask instead, "What group of potential customers is as large as our entire current customer base but isn't buying our products for one particular reason?"
Consider eyeglasses. They aren't available to the majority of the world's population. Why? Cost.
In 2005, according to the World Bank, approximately 50% of the world's population lived on less than $2 per day. Meanwhile, the cost of eyeglasses in the developing world was an unaffordable $40 to $60 per pair.
One small nonprofit company must have asked itself this billion-dollar question: "How can eyeglasses be made and distributed for less than one-tenth of their current cost?"
VisionSpring found ways to design and source the glasses on a small scale in the developing world for $4 per pair.
Billion-dollar opportunities exist. But be warned: Capturing them will require answering a very intense question.

Kerrigan: Big Ten's No. 2 Lineman of 2000sPosted by on May 29, 2012 – 10:48 am
I was watching the television yesterday and tuned to the Big Ten Network, which was airing its "Big Ten's Best: Defensive Linemen 2000-2010."
Not surprisingly, the Redskins' Ryan Kerrigan — who has since converted to outside linebacker after playing his entire career at Purdue University as a defensive end — ranked high on this list at No. 2 overall.
The player listed at No. 1, however, was baffling.
It was Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who had a dominating career with the Cornhuskers before becoming a standout with the Detroit Lions.
Now, you definitely can't argue with the numbers.
In his career at Nebraska, the Heisman Award finalist had 57 tackles for loss with 24 sacks — almost unheard of for a defensive tackle. He even had a touchdown reception while playing as a fullback. He was named First-Team All-American and Associated Press National Player of the Year.
The problem? Suh didn't play a down in college as a Big Ten player. He played in the Big 12, where he was appropriately named Defensive Player of the Year and Lineman of the Year.
Nebraska didn't officially move over to the Big Ten until July 2011. By that time, Suh was preparing for his second season in the NFL.
Kerrigan, meanwhile, obviously played his entire career in the Big Ten. His career numbers at Purdue are very similar to Suh's: 57 tackles for loss, 33.5 sacks and he also is tied for the most forced fumbles in NCAA Division I history.
Maybe the Big Ten Network didn't want Nebraska to have any hard feelings, but the fact of the matter is that Suh would most likely rank No. 1 on the same list in the Big 12 — where he played his entire collegiate career.
But, then again, it's definitely nothing to lose sleep over. Just thought it was interesting.
Click here for the rest of the list, which, according to the article was released last September.

I read your blogs almost every day and run through the pictorial section 1-8 with stories behind them. What in the world has happened !!! Ha severyone been fired? Blogs on the 80th anniversary as important as it may be has become along with the same stories going on for weeks. Barely any change in the story lines or hardly any new reporting. You are the FLAG SHIP for the Redskins. If this is the best you can do as far as reporting. then Daniel Snyder needs to wipe out the whole reporting dept. and start over. What a shame ! There is a story with every candidate that is trying to make the team. Strain yoursellves and come up with something new !!!

I definitely agree with John Draper. I have been searching the news for the last few days trying to find out how the OTAs are going. Except for the first day of OTAs last week, we have heard nothing. Where does everyone go to get the news? It would be nice to know if contract negotiations are going well or poorly for the Redskins top picks. Who is showing promise in the OTAs? Who is in the current 90 players? Who skipped the optional team activity?
I love the Redskins. Last year's flurry has caused an unrealistic expection of rapid fire news. Even so, the Redskins can keep the fan fever going with more news.
