An Introduction of Finagle by example
It is a challenging task to build a large-scale web application, there are fundamental characteristics to take into account: for example, efficiency, safety and robustness. Finagle is a asynchronous, Netty based JVM RPC system made by Twitter which makes it easy to build high available clients and servers in Java and Scala. And it can even simplify your application architecture. Here I want to show you how powerful Finagle is.Read More
Functional IO with FS2 Streams

One of the main principles of functional programming is to avoid side-effects. For the most part, working with immutable instances would be sufficient to satisfy that principle. But sometimes it's needed to do some sideeffects e.g. when we want to read from file. One straight-forward way of doing it is to get a `BufferedSource`, and process it using an iterator as shown below.Read More
Side Effects and How To Deal With Them The Cool Way, Part 2: Monads Introduction
- by Francisco Aramburo
- 31 October 2016
In part 1 of this series we learnt how to decouple the code that deals with side effects from our pure functions by using functors (Any type constructor which implements the map function). Now lets see how we can extend our functors so that we can sequence computations that each fall under the indeterminism of side effects.Read More
Side effects and how to deal with them the cool way, Part 1: Pure functions and functors

Get innovative with Video Alerts
Get innovative with Video Alerts
"The MLB.com Video Alerts service is one of the real game-changers for the 2008 season," said Adam Ritter, vice president of wireless at Major League Baseball Advanced Media. "All of these highlights will be editorially controlled, so they are the big plays you want. The content is formatted for mobile, so it's optimized to look good on your device. So you'll not only be the first to know, you'll be the first to see."Fans must have a video-enabled handset and a mobile internet data plan. If you do, then the experience will be seamless. You will receive a text alert right after an event happens, if you have chosen to receive an alert. When you sign up for text alerts, you can go to MLB.com Mobile and customize your Team Alerts using "mdash" -- the Mobile Dashboard. MLB.com Mobile also will be serving the iPhone for these Video Alerts. MLB.com just made that wonder of technology even more useful. MLB.com will be supporting a wide variety of smart phones, as well as your carrier's 3G-enabled handsets that are video-enabled. More new phones will be supported as they become available. There also is a PC-based version of Video Alerts, and it is available through the popular MLB.com Gameday real-time app. You can take a 30-day free trial. The highlights will be the same as the mobile version, just over a different platform.
Even with all the traditional pageantry such as the parade in Cincinnati or the clop-clop of the Clydesdales around Busch Stadium in St. Louis, this Opening Day is going to be so different. There are going to be some plays on the first day of the season that never have been seen before. Someone is going to do something unbelievable.And best of all, you are going to watch the highlights when they happen on your mobile phone. It's just another broadcasting milestone from the national pastime.

NASHVILLE -- The Nashville Predators signed defenceman Cody Franson to a two-year contract worth $1.6 million on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old compiled six goals and 21 points in 61 games during his rookie season, adding a plus-15 rating.
A former third-round pick of the Preds in 2005, Franson tied for fourth in points and third in goals among first-year blueliners in franchise history.
Franson, a native of Salmon Arm, B.C., won a gold medal in the 2007 World Junior Championships with Canada, and later that year won a Memorial Cup title with the Vancouver Giants.

Should Derivatives be Privileged in Bankruptcy?
Derivative contracts, swaps, and repos enjoy "super-senior" status in bankruptcy: they are exempt from the automatic stay on debt and collateral collection that applies to virtually all other claims. We propose a simple corporate finance model to assess the effect of this exemption on firms' cost of borrowing and incentives to engage in swaps and derivatives transactions. Our model shows that while derivatives are value-enhancing risk management tools, super-seniority for derivatives can lead to inefficiencies: collateralization and effective seniority of derivatives shifts credit risk to the firm's creditors, even though this risk could be borne more efficiently by derivative counterparties. In addition, because super-senior derivatives dilute existing creditors, they may lead firms to take on derivative positions that are too large from a social perspective. Hence, derivatives markets may grow inefficiently large in equilibrium.

text: Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) After a couple of weeks of building, I can now finally present the latest version of my Mobile Service Station. During transport it looks like an ordinary highway rig The trailer can transform into a Shell station with fuel pumps, car wash, car shop and a small shop See all the images in the Brickshelf gallery. The Rig The truck itself is 51 studs long (5 shorter than the last version) and weights 1.2kg. I have tried to give it some softer lines and focused on the small details that were ignored in the earlier versions. The engine is a V12 with some discrete chrome details. The interior has both supportive seats, foot pedals and a laptop. The doors open like traditional doors... well, almost. The back folds out giving a couple of rooms: A sleeping room and a kitchen. There are some computer screens in honor of the earlier versions where that was in the trailer. The coupling is new with a better stability and is placed more naturally (The earlier version was as far back as possible) The trailer The station is 97 studs long, weights 3.6kg and is filled with functions. The shop has a red panic-button which makes a screen lift up to protect the shop assistent (spring released like functions in the old West theme). Many functions are controlled from the rear where every of the nine holes power a function. The cargo room stores five crates. The brushes in the car wash are powered by a pull-back motor. The floor is lifted and tool rag pushed to the side in order to give access to the car shop. Please ask if there are functions you would like to know more about. I have tried to cover everything with pictures in the gallery. Edited September 4, 2007 by Lasse D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UPDATE: Stoskopf retiring as Raider boys' hockey coach
Mike Stoskopf didn't hesitate when asked what he'll miss most about coaching the Raider boys' hockey team.
"The kids," he said. "The humor. Seeing kids push through and having courage. When everybody comes together, there's not much better than seeing a bunch of happy high school kids."
Stoskopf announced his retirement as Hudson High School's boys' hockey coach last week after 24 years on the Raider bench. He came to Hudson in 1988 after coaching one year at Antigo and guided the Raiders to eight Big Rivers Conference championships, seven state tournament appearances, four final fours and two state titles, in 2001 and 2004. He leaves the program with a career record of 348-176-16.
Stoskopf, will continue to teach physical education at Hudson Middle School, but he said he feels it's the right time to step away from coaching.
"I've coached for 25 years and had a really fun time; I've really enjoyed it," he said. "To be honest, it takes a tremendous amount of energy. I feel like 25 years is a long time. But I feel good about the whole thing; I just feel it's time."
Stoskopf describes himself as "old school," and said the expectations of a high school hockey coach have changed over the years.
"The program has gone from where everybody makes the team to 25 guys don't, he said. "That wears on you; not being able to involve kids."
Stephanie DeVos, Hudson's athletic director since 2008, said it is Stoskopf's dedication to kids that makes him such a valued and successful coach.
"It has truly been a pleasure working with Mike the last four years and sharing his winning experiences," said DeVos. "But success at the high school level has more to do with preparing students for life than wins and losses. He taught citizenship, life-long skills and sportsmanship. He had a lasting impact on many kids' lives."
Stoskopf said working with kids has always been a big part of his life.
"That's really important to me," he said. "I've always been a believer in Jesus Christ, and I'm completely in line with his wisdom. I try to work hard and pray and things will work out well."
Stoskopf played in four high school state tournaments at Eagle River and went on to play at UW-Stevens point from 1981-84, serving as team captain in 1984. He had a brief stint with the Junior A Green Bay Bobcats of the United States Hockey League after college before beginning his teaching and coaching career.
Stoskopf said he began coaching at the Pee Wee level with his brother Jack, former coach at Stevens Point Area High School, in the mid-1980s. He said at the time he just wanted to shoot pucks with the kids. But he credits his father, also named Jack and Stoskopf's high school coach in Eagle River, with laying the foundation of his coaching philosophy.
"My dad was the best role model ever; he was my hero," Stoskopf said.
Stoskopf points to people like John Gornick and Terry Felland as reasons the Hudson Hockey Association is thriving today, and expressed gratitude to today's HHA members for making his job so rewarding.
"It's really been an honor to be the coach at Hudson," he said. "When you have a bunch of people working so hard so kids could have fun; they never get the credit but they do all the work."
Stoskopf said the list of people he wants to thank is a long one.
"I want to thank so many people it's hard to name them all," he said. "Great players, great hockey families. Tim Scharfenberg who I work with, the whole phy-ed department at the middle school; we talk coaching all the time. Gerry Uchytil has always been a go-to guy, Lynn Krueger, Dean Talafous, all the tremendous assistant coaches I've worked with. My brother Jack. And obviously my wife, Sue; she was all-in. She made yearbooks every year for the kids. I've spent 25 years trying to impress her. She's number one."
Stoskopf said he will continue to be a diehard Hudson Raider fan, but he's comfortable turning the program over to someone else.
"I'm good with it, I really am," he said. "I'll just sit in my little boat and watch the ship I used to steer, and I'll be pulling for the Raiders all the time. Who knows, maybe I can pop in and shoot pucks with the little kids."

JERRY: Elaine, do you think I would go willy-nilly into a situation so obviously fraught with potential complications?
ELAINE: You are paying a woman to come to your house and sleep with you.
JERRY: No. I pay her to clean. The rest is--
ELAINE: What? A health plan?
JERRY: I was going to say, "Being a good host."
ELAINE: Oh-ho-ho. Oh.

JERRY: Yes, I do.
ELAINE: Oh. Have you been out?
JERRY: Yes, we have.
ELAINE: Where did you go?
JERRY: The store.
ELAINE: Mm! To get what?
JERRY: Stuff.
ELAINE: Cleaning supplies?
JERRY: And gum.
ELAINE: Oh. Well, there's nothin' more sophisticated than diddlin' the maid and then chewin' some gum.
JERRY: She's not a maid. She might be a news woman!
Kramer enters.
KRAMER: Hey. Well, I just saw Madeline off. Yeah. She's in a cab and--nguh nguh nguh--on her way. I miss her already.
Kramer sits down on the couch.
ELAINE: Hey, Kramer, what was it you were having faxed to my house every 30 seconds?
KRAMER: Well, I signed up for a food delivery service, Now We're Cookin'. That's a play on words. You know, they're faxing me the menus from some restaurants.
ELAINE: Which ones?
KRAMER: Well, all of them. It's the deluxe package.
ELAINE: So this is never gonna stop?
KRAMER: Well, it better not. Paid for the whole year. So, should I pick those up later?
ELAINE: You can pick 'em up right now.
Elaine imitates the fax squeal right into Kramer's ear.
KRAMER: Ah!
She fondles a candle stick as a phone man fixes her phone.
ELAINE (thinking): I wonder if anyone knows he's here. If he just disappeared...would anybody notice?
PHONE MAN: All right, miss Benes, all finished. Here's your new number.
ELAINE: Ahem. 646? What is this?
PHONE MAN: That's your new area code.
ELAINE: I thought 646 was just for new numbers.
PHONE MAN: This is a new number.
ELAINE: No, no, no, no. It's not a new number. It's--it's--it's just a changed number. See? It's not different. It's the same, just...changed.
PHONE MAN: Look, I work for the phone company. I've had a lot of experience with semantics, so don't try to lure me into some maze of circular logic.
ELAINE: You know, I could've killed you, and no one would've known.
PHONE MAN: I could've killed you, and no one would've known.
JERRY: Kramer, you're still on the phone?
Kramer is sitting on the couch with a blanket. He's on the phone.
KRAMER: Madeline and I are watching Quincy together. Jerry, you know this comes on at the same time here as it does there?
JERRY: Really? It's Tuesday here. What day is it there?
KRAMER (into phone): Jerry's teasing. Uh-oh! Commercial. Oh, you going to the bathroom? Yeah. I'll go, too.
Kramer gets up and Jerry grabs the phone from him.
JERRY: Madeline stays here.
George enters.
JERRY: Hey, T-bone!
GEORGE: No. No T-bone.
JERRY: No T-bone?
KRAMER (from bathroom): Hey, is that T-bone?!
JERRY: No! There's no T-bone!
KRAMER: Well, why no T-bone?!
JERRY: Why no T-bone?
GEORGE: 'Cause Neil Watkins from accounting is T-bone!
Kramer returns from the bathroom and picks up the phone.
KRAMER: Oh, yeah I'm back. Hey, you wanna play cards over the phone?
Kramer opens the door.
KRAMER: Oh, hey, uh, listen, Jerry, uh, laundry's pilin' up there. You might want to tell your girlfriend. Mmm. Yeah.
Kramer leaves.
GEORGE: Your girlfriend is doin' your laundry?
KRAMER (from hallway): He's sleeping with his maid!
GEORGE: You're sleepin' with the maid?
JERRY: Yes.
GEORGE: I've done that. Did you ever eat an ostrich burger?
JERRY: No.
Elaine and a man are talking.
MAN: You're probably one of those women who doesn't like to give out her number.
ELAINE: No, I'm not. Here you go.
ELAINE: It's a new area code.
MAN: What area? New Jersey?
ELAINE: No, no. It's right here in the city. It's the same as 212. They just multiplied it by 3, and then they added one to the middle number. It's the same.
MAN: Do I have to dial a one first?
Elaine nods and the man crumples up her number.
MAN: I'm really kinda seein' somebody.
ELAINE: Yeah? Well, so am I!
GEORGE: Excuse me. Can I talk to you for a second there, Watkins?
George and Watkins stand just outside the conference room talking.
WATKINS: It's T-bone.
GEORGE: The thing is...I'm supposed to be T-bone.
WATKINS: Heh heh. You're not a T-bone. You're a perfect George.
GEORGE: What? Now, you listen to me!
Kruger and a few other people watch George through the window of the conference room door.
KRUGER: Hey, look at George. He's givin' it to T-bone. He's jumpin' up and down like some kind of monkey. Hey, what was the name of that monkey that could read sign language?
WATKINS: All right, you can have T-bone. Stop crying.
GEORGE (sniffling): I'm not crying. And I shouldn't have said that about your wife. Please accept my apologies.
Watkins and George enter the conference room.
GEORGE: Ok, everybody, uh...I have an announcement to make. From now on, I will be known as-
KRUGER: Koko the monkey.
GEORGE: What?
ALL (chanting): Koko! Koko! Koko! Koko! Koko! Koko! Koko! Koko! Koko! Koko!
Elaine walks down the hallway. Two people exit an apartment.
MAN: Thank you both for being here.
EALINE: Um, excuse me. I live in the building. Did something happen to Mrs. Krantz?
MAN: She passed.
ELAINE: Oh, I'm so sorry.
MAN: Thank you.
ELAINE: A quick question-- did she by any chance have a 212 phone number?
CINDY: I can't find my earring. Oh, here it is.
Cindy walks into Jerry's bedroom. Kramer enters.
KRAMER: Hey, listen, can I borrow your suitcases?
JERRY: Yeah. It's in your closet.
KRAMER: No, no, no. I looked.
JERRY: They're behind my skis and my tennis racket.
KRAMER: Thanks, buddy.
JERRY: Where you goin'?
KRAMER: Huh? Well, I'm gettin' out of town. I'm gonna visit Madeline for the weekend. You know, this place is lookin' kinda messy. What happened to Cindy?
JERRY: Well, she's here. She just didn't get around to it.
KRAMER: Oh.
Cindy comes from Jerry's bedroom.
CINDY: Hi, Kramer.
She picks up her money from the counter.
CINDY: Thanks, Jerry. Bye.
She leaves.
KRAMER: Well, what's the matter?
JERRY: What did I just pay for?
KRAMER: Uh-oh. You're a john.
JERRY: Koko?
George and Jerry are sitting at the counter.
GEORGE: Koko.
JERRY: Well, it's probably the most intelligent ape there is.
GEORGE: Yeah. So, how's Cindy the maid?
JERRY: Well, everything's goin' great except, basically, I'm payin' for sex.
GEORGE: Tell me about it. I went out with this girl last week. First I had to pay for dinner, then--
JERRY: No, George. She's coming over and not cleaning. It's like I'm seein' a prostitute.
GEORGE: How much you pay this maid?
GEORGE: 40? I'm payin' 60 to my maid. She doesn't do laundry and I'm gettin' nothin'. All right. Once she pinched my ass, but I don't know what that was.
JERRY: I don't know what this is.
Kramer enters and sits at the counter so George is between him and Jerry.
KRAMER: Hey, hey, hey. Look at that.
Kramer shows of his I Love New York shirt.
JERRY: Ooh.
KRAMER: Jerry, you wouldn't believe what it's like down there. Taxicab drivers are insane. You know, everybody is in a hurry.
GEORGE: I can't eat with you leanin' over like this. Just look straight forward.
KRAMER: Well, now I can't see Jerry.
JERRY: I look about the same.
GEORGE: What?
JERRY: I was talking to him.
KRAMER: What?
JERRY: Never mind.
KRAMER: Come on. What'd he say?
GEORGE: Never mind.
KRAMER: Jerry, come on. What'd you say?
Kramer and Jerry try to talk to each other by leaning back and forth, but keep missing each other. Jerry leans forward to look at Kramer, but Kramer leans back. Kramer leans forward, Jerry leans back.
JERRY: What?
KRAMER: Come on. Where'd you go?
JERRY: Go back.
KRAMER: Eh! Come on. What did you say?
JERRY: I said, never mind.
KRAMER: Yeah. I know that. Uh, uh.
JERRY: I hate the counter.
Elaine enters and sits at the counter next to Jerry.
ELAINE: Hey.
JERRY: Hey.
ELAINE: I hate the counter.
KRAMER: Who's that?
ELAINE (to Jerry): Well, I got a 212 number from this little old lady in my building-- Mrs. Krantz.
JERRY: Oh, she didn't mind?
ELAINE: No. She died.
JERRY: Hey, that's great.
GEORGE: What happened to Mrs. Krantz?
JERRY: Elaine got a new number because she died.
KRAMER: Newman died?
ELAINE: What did he say?
JERRY: Some new kind of pie.
GEORGE: I'll try a piece.
KRAMER: All right, who's down there?
JERRY: Hey, there's a booth.
They all get up to move.
KRAMER: Hey, Elaine.
ELAINE: Oh, hi.
KRAMER: Did you hear about Newman?
ELAINE: What?
Kramer whimpers.
Jerry is cleaning his kitchen and Cindy is reclined on the sofa. George enters.
GEORGE: Hey.
JERRY: So how's it goin' at work? They get tired of it?
GEORGE: Oh, yeah.
He unfurls a jersey that reads, "Koko 00."
JERRY: Double zero?
GEORGE: It's "ooh" As in "ooh ooh ah ah."
CINDY: Your nickname's Koko? One of the girls down at the maid service is named Coco.
GEORGE: Really? Coco?
CINDY: Yeah. Coco. That girl's all right.
Cindy gets up and goes into Jerry's bedroom.
GEORGE: You know, if I could get this Coco woman down to Kruger, they wouldn't be able to call me Koko anymore because Kruger would never allow 2 Kokos.
JERRY: Sounds like he runs a real tight ship.
GEORGE: Say good-bye to Koko.
George leaves as Kramer enters.
JERRY: Good-bye, Koko.
KRAMER: Bye, Koko. Whew! Jerry, this relationship is killing me. The distance, the longing, the distance, the-- you know, I didn't realize it, but I'm a needy person.
JERRY: Kramer, maybe this relationship isn't for you.
KRAMER: Oh, yeah? So what am I supposed to do, be more like you? All sealed up in here, emotionally unavailable, paying scrubwomen for sexual favors! No! Jerry, I won't be like you! Never! I'll never be like you!
Kramer storms out of the apartment and Cindy returns.
CINDY: What was that?
JERRY: I didn't hear anything.
CINDY: All right, I'm takin' off. Aren't you forgetting something?
JERRY: Oh, right! Hey, it was great seeing you again. I love your outfit.
CINDY: No. My money.
JERRY: For what?
CINDY: For my maid services. You booked me for today.
JERRY: But you didn't really do any work.
CINDY: I made the bed.
JERRY: But you took a nap in it.
CINDY: So?
JERRY: I thought that was kind of girlfriend bed making.
CINDY: No. That was the maid.
JERRY: Well, who took the nap?
CINDY: The girlfriend.
JERRY: $40 seems kind of steep for a nap.
CINDY: So, what are you saying? That I'm a bad maid or some kind of a prostitute?
JERRY: Ho, ho...ho! Hold on. Let's keep this sophisticated.
CINDY: You know, I don't think I want to be your girlfriend or your maid.
JERRY: So is this a breakup/quitting?
CINDY: Yeah. Don't ever call me or hire me again.
Cindy walks out of Jerry's apartment.
JERRY: Oh, yeah? Well, then, we're through! And you're fired!
PHONE MAN: Sign here.
ELAINE: Yes! 212.
Elaine and the phone man.
ELAINE: Hey, what happened to the guy I had last time?
PHONE MAN: Oh, you know, it's an odd thing. He went out on a job and never came back. Nobody knows what happened.
The phone man leaves and the phone rings.
ELAINE: All right! I am back in the game.
She picks up the phone.
ELAINE: Hello?
BOY: Gammy!
ELAINE: No. You got the wrong number, kid.
BOY: Gammy Krantz, it's your grandson Bobby. Why haven't you called?
ELAINE: Oh...nuts.
BOY: Do you hate me 'cause of my lazy eye?
ELAINE: No. It's just that I've been kind of buried over here.
Elaine and Jerry are playing Battleship.
JERRY: So the kid doesn't know his grandmother is dead? G-5?
ELAINE: Hit. No. I guess his parents didn't want to tell him. B-2?
JERRY: Miss.
ELAINE: He called 6 times yesterday. What a nightmare it must be to have a real family.
JERRY: I wouldn't worry about it. B-6?
ELAINE: Hit. Uhh...you sank my submarine.
JERRY: Elaine...
Elaine makes an explosion sound. Jerry nods in approval. The phone rings and Jerry answers.
JERRY: Hello?
COMPUTER VOICE: You have a collect call from--
KRAMER: Hey, buddy, don't say no!
JERRY: I accept.
KRAMER: I went down to Madeline's. I told her, "You gotta move, or it's over."
JERRY: Well, what happened?
Elaine gets up and leaves.
KRAMER: I think it's over. We had a big fight, she threw me out, I started walkin', and now I'm lost downtown! I don't have any money. I don't recognize anybody. I miss home,
and I don't even know how to get there.
JERRY: What's around you?
KRAMER: I'm lookin' at Ray's Pizza. You know where that is?
JERRY: Is it Famous Ray's?
KRAMER: No. It's Original Ray's.
JERRY: Famous Original Ray's?
KRAMER: It's just Original, Jerry!
JERRY: Well, what street are you on?
KRAMER: Hey, I'm on first and first. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe.
JERRY: Just wait there. I'll pick you up, and, Kramer, stay alive no matter what occurs, I will find you!
KRAMER: Aah!
Jerry leaves.
Jerry finds a man waiting by his car.
MAN: You Steinfeld?
JERRY: Yeah.
MAN: My name is Maxwell. I'm from Maid To Order. It's a pun. I sent one of my girls over to your place.
JERRY: Cindy.
MAN: She says she had a little problem with you. You didn't pay.
JERRY: You know, she didn't really do what she was supposed to do.
MAN: Oh, yeah? She told me what you like. You're a little sickie, aren't you? Disinfectant on the blinds, vacuuming the counter--
JERRY: Hey, come on. Come on. I gotta live around here.
MAN: You know what I do to people who stiff me on a job?
JERRY: What?
MAN: Well, it kinda depends on the situation, but if I don't get my money from you, I'm gonna get it from her.
JERRY: I don't want to make trouble. You want the money? Here.
MAN: Hey! Wait, wait, wait! Whoa! Give it to the girl. I'm an independent contractor. Tax purposes.
Elaine is sitting on her couch flipping through a magazine. She's on the phone.
ELAINE: Bobby, you gotta stop calling your Gammy. Why? Because sometimes you call very early in the morning when Gammy has been out late the night before and sometimes when Gammy's not alone. Your parents still haven't said anything to you about your Gammy? (sighs) All right, here we go. (coughing) Gammy doesn't feel so good. I think
Gammy might be dying. Yep. Yep. Ok. Good-bye, Bobby. Don't call anymore. I'm dead now. Gotta go.
Bobby dials 911.
Jerry is driving down the street when he sees Cindy walking on the sidewalk.
JERRY: Nexus of the universe. Hey, Cindy. Cindy.
CINDY: What do you want?
JERRY: Here. I got your money.
CINDY: I don't want any money from you.
JERRY: Come on. Take it. It's money. Let me give it to ya.
A police cruiser pulls up with lights on.
POLICE: Looking for a good time, sir? You wanna step out of the car, sickie?
JERRY: Well, this is all very sophisticated.
Elaine is sitting on the sofa reading when there is a pounding on the door. The door bursts open and some fire fighters run in.
FIREMAN: All right, hang on, Gammy! You're gonna make it!
ELAINE: Aah!
Kramer is waiting near a phone booth with a suitcase. A car pulls up. It's Maxwell.
MAXWELL: Hey, you look a little lost. You from around here?
KRAMER: Uh, no.
MAXWELL: You know where you're going?
KRAMER: Not really. My friend was supposed to pick me up, but I don't know where he is.
MAXWELL: Doesn't sound like much of a friend. You got any money?
KRAMER: Uh, no.
MAXWELL: You wanna make some?
KRAMER: Ok.
MAXWELL: Do you know how to use a mop wringer?
KRAMER: Yeah, yeah.
MAXWELL: Why don't you get in the car?
Kramer hops in.
KRAMER: Hi. Ahh...these are soft seats.
The two drive off.
KRUGER: Hey, Koko, Who's this?
Everyone is gathered again around the conference table. George is standing introducing the newest employee.
GEORGE: This is our new Vice-president of Acquisitions, sir.
KRUGER: So you're just hiring new people now? That's your job, to hire people?
GEORGE: Yes?
KRUGER: Ok, good enough for me, Koko.
George sits down.
KRUGER: Ahem. Now, what's your name?
COCO: My name is Coco. Coco Higgins.
GEORGE: Coco?
KRUGER: We can't have 2 Cocos. So I guess you're back to being George.
GEORGE: Well, it was a hell of a ride.
KRUGER: All right, the Grace building. There's a big stain on the front. How do we get it off?
COCO: When I was a little girl in Jamaica, my Gammy taught me to take a wet rag and in a circ--
GEORGE: Ah, excuse me, Vice-president Coco, no one cares about your Gammy.
COCO: What did you say about my Gammy?
GEORGE: Forget Gammy.
KRUGER: Who's Gammy?
GEORGE: There's no Gammy.
KRUGER: Maybe there should be a Gammy.
GEORGE: Oh, no.
KRUGER: George.
ALL (chanting): Gammy! Gammy! Gammy! Gammy! Gammy! Gammy! Gammy!
GEORGE: Gammy's gettin' upset!

Team Ratings
Manchester United
De Gea
The Spaniard's heroics kept United in the competition as he delivered a solid performance again up against Bayern. Was well protected by his defenders but stood up when called upon.
N. Vidić
Is leaving the club at the end of the season and delivered a glimpse of why United will miss him. Was a towering presence at times, meeting almost everything in the air before opening the scoring with a stunning header. Heroic for the hosts.
A. Valencia
Pressed Alaba from the start and worked well with Jones on the right flank, looking to double up on the Austrian. Still too wasteful and was lucky to stay on the pitch after a rash challenge.
R. Ferdinand
Foolishly gave away possession to the visitors with needless long balls out of the back but was strong in defence, pre-empting a number of incisive Bayern passes.
P. Jones
Was trusted at right-back after an impressive run of form in the centre of defence and proved his full-back credentials with a number of lung-busting shuttles down the flank.
A. Büttner
Had the unenviable task of stopping Robben and delivered with a far more mature performance than many thought him capable of. A little sloppy in possession but defended well before going off with an injury.
R. Giggs
Has lost more than a yard of pace but still retains all of the class. Provided United with a much-needed calm head on the ball before being replaced by Kagawa at half time.
M. Fellaini
Always looked like he was struggling in the face of Bayern's pressing in midfield, losing possession from the 3rd minute. Played in Rooney with a nicely weighted ball on the edge of the area with the sides level but was otherwise muted, and should have been tighter to Schweinsteiger ahead of the equaliser.
M. Carrick
Sat deep in midfield and looked to keep hold of the ball under relentless pressure from the Bavarians. Kept it largely neat and tidy and played Welbeck in with a fine long pass.
W. Rooney
Chased down a weak backpass from Rafinha and nearly carved out a chance for himself. Was otherwise kept quiet until seeing a 20-yard effort blocked by Lahm on the 34th minute. Worked incredibly hard in the second half, turning defence into attack.
D. Welbeck
Incredibly unlucky to have his fine strike past Neuer ruled out for an initial high boot only five minutes in but then incurred the wrath of his team-mates for wasting a one-on-one against Neuer, unbelievably opting to chip it into the keeper.
Bayern München
M. Neuer
Forced into a desperate clearance early on with Rooney putting him under pressure and easily gobbled up a fairly simple effort from Welbeck on the 33rd minute. Stopped the striker again soon after to keep the sides level. Could do little to stop Vidic's stunning header.
D. Alaba
The young Austrian dealt with the ongoing threat of Valencia and Jones well, holding his own physically against the pair. Got forward and linked up well with his midfield colleagues.
Nearly played Neuer into trouble less than 10 minutes in with an unconvincing backpass to the keeper in what was a nervy start from the Brazilian. Got forward again and again but couldn't connect with a cross.
Javi Martínez
Looked to build from the back each time and won every long ball pumped forward from United's defenders. Kept Welbeck under control when the striker juggled the ball in the area shortly before the half hour mark. Will miss the second leg after a cynical foul on Hernandez late on.
P. Lahm
Looks a transformed player deep in Bayern's midfield, holding the ball up and maintaining possession superbly. Blocked Rooney's powerful effort shortly before half time but lost Vidic for United's opener.
J. Boateng
Struggled early on with Welbeck and nearly let the England striker in after only a few minutes. Should have been punished by the forward shortly before half-time after slipping under pressure, but just about got away with it.
T. Kroos
Probably the visiting player United fans were most keen to see given the club's rumoured interest in the midfielder, and he delivered a typically classy performance, with plenty of movement off the ball to stretch the game from the middle.
F. Ribéry
Drifted away from Jones on the left channel and provided an option in the middle. Typically creative, the Frenchman peppered United's area with a number of dangerous balls but was left frustrated.
A. Robben
Threatened early on with a dangerous whipped effort that just curled past De Gea's far post and ran directly at United. Very nearly gave the visitors a second but dragged his effort wide.
B. Schweinsteiger
A near enough unstoppable presence in the centre of the park, the 29 year-old drove through midfield and added urgency to his side's possession play. Equalised with a stunning half volley and deserved the goal before being dismissed for two yellow cards.
T. Müller
Cut a frustrated figure early on as the hosts manfully kept the visitors at bay in and around the area. Was replaced by Mandzukic after an ineffectual showing.

MindSpring Enterprises, a fast-growing Internet provider, increasingly relies on a temp agency to supply a stream of workers for its call-in centers. But the company is careful to offer them staff jobs, or replace them after 90 days.
Like a growing number of companies, Atlanta-based MindSpring uses temporary workers to cut costs and solve labor shortages.
But temporary workers are increasingly demanding employee benefits if they work as long and hard as permanent workers, compelling wary businesses like MindSpring to take steps so temps don't become de facto employees.
A closely watched court battle between Microsoft Corp. and its longtime temps dubbed ''permatemps'' is the most visible sign of this growing work place issue.
In the latest twist to the case, a U.S. appeals court panel ruled in mid-May that thousands of former temps should have been allowed to join the company's lucrative stock-purchase program. Last Wednesday, Microsoft asked the full appeals court to review the decision.
The ruling was the first to hold that temps can look to both their agency and their work-site employer for benefits. It raises the specter that employers will be liable for everything from temps' benefits to their grievances.
''(It's) is another reminder ... that they just can't change the label or badge and turn them into a non-employee,'' said Catherine Ruckelshaus, litigation director at the National Employment Law Project, an advocacy group for low-wage workers.
Since 1982, the percentage of temps has quadrupled to 2.2 percent of all workers, according to forthcoming data from the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank. On any given day, about 1.3 million temps are at work, spawning an estimated $60 billion industry.
Up to 90 percent of U.S. companies use temps, often because they provide a flexible, quick and cheaper source of labor.
Temps, who are mostly women, are clustered in low-paying work, such as secretarial jobs and most would prefer a permanent job. Few get health insurance or other benefits from their agencies, according to Economic Policy Institute studies.
Microsoft temps have filed a number of lawsuits against the company. Along with the suit seeking stock-purchase rights, the temps are suing for health insurance and pension benefits.
Microsoft spokesman Dan Leach responds that temp agency employees look to their agencies for wages and benefits.
''It's very clear that Microsoft employees work for Microsoft and employees of temp agencies work for temp agencies,'' he said.
But many employers aren't so sure that the lines of responsibility are clear anymore.
Some courts have defined a ''common-law employee'' as a worker who's spent more than five months at a company, substantially under the employers' control.
''We get calls regularly on this issue, asking 'How do we make this determination,''' said Michael Bartlett, manager of labor law policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. ''There are serious liability concerns.''
As a result, companies are tightening contracts to more clearly exclude temps from benefit plans.
Some have established internal ''temp agencies'' that assign roving permanent workers to different projects. Others have leased some of their operations to outside firms rather than bringing in temps.
MindSpring, the Internet provider, reluctantly began using temps in 1996.
''It was so antithetical to our philosophy of how a good company operates,'' said vice president Carter Calle, explaining that MindSpring wants to rely on permanent employees who have a stake in the company due to stock options and other benefits.
Now MindSpring uses a staffing agency to recruit, screen and hire temps, then to prevent ''permatemping'' makes sure they're either hired or let go after 90 days.
Temp agencies, as well, should do more for their workers, advocacy groups say. A coalition of such groups, including the national working women's group 9 to 5, will unveil a national code of conduct for temp agencies in the fall.
''The goal is to raise the bar, and improve practices through voluntary action,'' said Ellen Bravo, co-director of 9 to 5.
In New Jersey, the coalition is helping a community group monitor the industry, with plans to publicize model temp agencies.
That's a strategy applauded by Kamal Larsuel, a 29-year-old engineer who's been working as a Microsoft temp for 16 months.
''Microsoft needs to put their foot down and say, 'If you want to be a preferred agency with Microsoft, you need to provide us with better benefits,'' she suggested. ''That would be the smart thing to do.''

"Good book too short"
I like following the story of Dayne and Katie it reflects the surprises and struggles of life but with God in its midst. It makes you think of how lucky you might be. It shows that forgiveness is enlightening. The narration was good but it was just too short. Can't wait till the next story. This is a clean book so no sex scenes which I enjoy.
"Excellent Christian Book Series"
Another winner by Karen Kingsbury which exceeded my expectations. You must begin with The Baxter Family Book series 5 Books all titles begin with R. Then move on to this series of 5 all beginning with F. Finally read Coming Home. You will be caught up in the Faith, Hope, Love, heartache, and Overcoming of this wonderful Christian Family
"excellent story"
the Baxter's could have been my family. karen kingsbury keeps to the way real life and real family dynamics occur. it inspired me to be a better Christian , wife, mother, and sister.
the only draw back I have with this entire series of audible audio books is that they were not available in unabridged. I always feel like I'm being told a story instead of being able to get into their lives and be a part of the story.
the narrator, sandra Parr, is by far top notch and does a wonderful job. she is a woman of many voices, and can evoke emotion better than any other narrator I have listened to.
"Downloading problems close to the end of the book."
I wasn't able to finish listening the last part of the book due to techinical difficulties.
I have listened to most of the books in this series and this final book did not disappoint. I started listening and did not stop until the story ended. If I had any complaints it would be that this book is abridged, and because of that I feel that some details were missed, even still, this book is well worth the time and credits.

" Genre: Horror / Author: Carmen Adams / Paperback / 192 Pages / Book is published 1996-11-15 by Scholastic Point "
* Prices may differ from that shown
You should have already noticed that I have set myself to read all of the point horror books I have, so luckily for you I have a few and not too many and therefore will not bore you into oblivion with occurring words that appears within my reviews.
I am officially a massive fan of the Point horror books and I'm dreadfully upset to find out that they've gone and disappeared. I love the way these books are created and I think they are a real inspiration to everyone who would like to go down the author career route, as they are simple but brilliant. And if a publisher did the same as Point Horror has, then tonnes of new authors would find limelight. Famous authors (from the Point Horror series) include R.L. Stine, Richie Tankersley Cusick, Malcolm Rose & Caroline B. Cooney to name a few. Although there has been a few books from this series I've read that I thought the author should have became famous only they didn't, here's a few I think: Samantha Lee (Read Reviews on Demon & Demon II), Sinclair Smith (read review on "The Waitress"), Linda Cargill (read review on "The Dark") and this author: Carmen Adams, she has only ever released 3 books. If Point Horror had lasted for a little longer I reckon these authors would have been famous, and I really feel for these authors, it usually is the ones whose books are quite possibly the better ones of the series.
Carmen Adams is a really good author... Okay so I'm judging her writing style on this book alone, but I have a right to do just that considering she has only ever released 3 books, therefore I am allowed to make an opinion of her based on this book alone. I shall also get the other 2 books, but when I'm short of books and need to buy more. According to the "All about the author" bit in the book, it says she is a daredevil as she does cliff diving and also has 3 trained wolves. It also states she likes to write, and the may be the case, but it just goes to show that no matter how passionately focused you could possibly be about writing some publishers will not except. I really do feel sorry for her, she's a author, and she may not be well-known but would have been if Point Horror had continued, this just shows how upsetting it could be for all of the authors that was writing under Point Horror, because it isn't their fault that the publishers vanished.
Many Point Horror books give you a shock at the end. The person you think it isn't usually is the person. I kept this in mind again. Also thinking of the minor characters, and GUESS WHAT? I did prevail and was, yet again, surprised by who the culprit was. For some people this could agitate them and therefore they can lose interest in reading Point Horror books, and I think this could have been a reason why Point Horror disappeared.
The claw is about Kelly and her best friend Rachel. They decide to take up a job in the zoo. And they've been accepted and they are the only ones from their school who were. But all of a sudden, both Kelly and Rachel have been getting threats recently, telling them something bad will happen at the zoo. And the threats come true. A Black Leopard escapes the zoo, and it's up to Kelly and Rachel to try and find who did it, while also trying not to get side-tracked. But when some horrible person, the culprit, pretends to be both Kelly and Rachel on the phone, everything gets out of control... Especially since there is a black leopard on the run.
Now I have to admit this book seems like the lengthiest book of the lot of Point Horror, but I assure you it wasn't as enjoyable, it had a tiny little boring factor, I don't know what made me consider parts was boring it's just that there was something missing and that something is ideal in these kind of books. It may have been there was too much going on as there is also a bit of romance flowing through this book. If I thought more about it, I think I'd say that it was too compact. Point Horror books are always the same length and size as the "Pocket Books", therefore Carmen Adams was limited to a certain amount of pages, and the book needed to be lengthier, it should be small and quick and easy, it was meant to be an actual novel and if she ever got the chance to re-do this book then I reckon she'll make it soooooooo much better especially when she wouldn't be limited.
Well I've gave you my opinions now I want to hear yours, this means I'm trying to encourage you to buy it so I can see if you'll agree or disagree with me. Well I'm intrigued to find out what others think of this book, so I'll wait for a review on this (I hope soon) and I am thanking you all for rating and commenting. I'm really busy with revision for GCSE Exams, but I will try and fit in reviews as well! Thank you all for reading!

With the U.S. Hispanic population booming, and Hispanics representing an ever greater economic market, experts anticipate this diverse ethnic group will be purchasing a considerable amount of life insurance in the near term.
A study by LIMRA, the financial services research and consulting group, supports this outlook. LIMRA found that, as the U.S. Hispanic population increases and assimilates, many within the group have the means to satisfy a basic concern: how to manage their financial present and future more effectively.
A focus on the family has long been a known characteristic of many Hispanic families, LIMRA said, which translates into a desire for family financial security.
"Their strong emphasis on family makes them a natural market for life insurance," said Nilufer Ahmed, senior research director, LIMRA Insurance Research.
Among the data gathered by the LIMRA "Financial Protection for Hispanics" survey:
- One third of all Hispanics are third generation or higher in the United States, and speak fluent English.
- Increased levels of acculturation means increased ownership of individual life insurance.
- The most acculturated Hispanics have similar levels of ownership as the general population.
- Hispanics express multiple financial concerns to a greater degree than the general population. Almost half of Hispanics are very or extremely concerned about dying unexpectedly, compared to less than a third of the general population.
- The less acculturated Hispanics report the highest degree of concern about such subjects as being disabled and unable to earn a living. 35 percent of these respondents were "extremely concerned" about this fate, while 25 percent of more acculturated Hispanics were extremely concerned and just 13 percent of the general U.S. population was extremely concerned.
- More than half of Hispanic households fall in the middle-income category.
Because LIMRA works to support financial services and insurance professionals, it offered advice on how to market insurance products to Hispanics. (LIMRA did note that the population is highly diverse in terms of country of origin, values and wealth, so that its sales guidelines would not apply across the Hispanic population.)
- Financial advisors should confront the bilingual challenge prior to entering the marketplace. Although many Hispanics are fluent in English, some households are not, and some members of fluent households may not understand English well.
- Referring to financial concerns in general represents an opportunity to turn a discussion life insurance.
- Many households are occupied by several generations of family members, which may influence the way information is delivered. Identifying the decisionmaker in a household is of primary importance.

I bought this pushchair for my son when i was 3 months pregnant. I loved the way it looked and the fact tha it came with a carry cot, New born car seat, changing bag, foot muff and the rain cover zipped on to the hood, all for £369.99. By the time i had given birth half of the 1 year warrenty was gone. At first i loved it. It had a georgous design and every thing matched perfectly. Within a few weeks i noticed that the wheels were bending inwards if it caught something. Then a few weeks later the breaks started sticking. I thought this was general wear and tear but if i was on a bus i couldnt let go of it without it crashing into the nearest person or object. When my son was 6 months old i moved to a new town and as i was walking home from the shops the pushchair went over a part of the pavement that was slightly uneven. Much to my horror the pushchair collapsed with my son in it. When i called the company to tell them what happened and request a replacement i was told that as the warrenty ended a week before they were unable to replace it and i would have to buy a new one as it was not safe to use.
I would never recommend this pushchair to anyone and if i see someone using it around town i always tell them that it is not safe and explain what happend as i would hate to see the same thing happen to another child.
I hop this review has helped you.

Making my way through the last of this, I just put two teaspoons of it straight into my two serving teapot, leaving the strainer out entirely so the leaves could properly get their steep on. This was a good call! I think this is one of the best cups I've gotten out of this, the leaves had plenty of room to fully unfurl and bump up against each other. It's very pretty in the pot and rather pleasant to watch it steep, kind of like watching goldfish swim. Calming, you know?
I don't think I'll be repurchasing this one as I've since discovered other oolongs I find more spectacular, but I've enjoyed having this one in my cupboard and in my cup.

This was perfect & exactly what I needed in my short film "The Inject Project". This was the first film that I wrote, directed, filmed, and edited. I filmed it like a classic horror silent film. It was accepted into the Florida Horror Film Festival. Thanks! 5 STARS
Just beautiful!
So I have to represent the creation of humanity.
First I went for a kind of mystical cosmic wind, didn't succeed so I changed my mind and wanted to do a totally organic sound from scratch.
I stumbled accross this and changed my mind to the original plan. Just like that. It's that good.
Wow, one of the best sounds I've ever heard.
This is awesome - I am making a home movie about ghosts and I think I will use this for the beginning scenes...will credit...

Physicians Formula Holdings Inc. (FACE) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2010-09-30.
Physicians Formula Holdings Inc. has a market cap of $55.5 million; its shares were traded at around $4.02 with a P/E ratio of 37 and P/S ratio of 0.7. FACE is in the portfolios of Chuck Royce of Royce& Associates.
Highlight of Business Operations:Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $284,000, or 4.3%, to $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to a $430,000 increase in bad debt expense which resulted primarily from lower bad debt recoveries in the current period. Also contributing to the increase was a $188,000 increase in sales force and sales administrative expenses, a $188,000 increase in corporate administrative costs and a $106,000 increase in realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange losses, which were partially offset by a $231,000 decrease in marketing spend, a $222,000 decrease in freight and warehouse costs and a $175,000 decrease in distribution costs.
Trade spending with retailers decreased $3.3 million, or 16.3%, to $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $20.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, which included a decrease in markdowns of $1.5 million, a decrease in coupon expense of $1.3 million, a decrease in cooperative advertising of $1.1 million and a decrease in cash discounts and miscellaneous allowances of $326,000, partially offset by an increase in retail marketing of $925,000.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $5.1 million, or 17.4%, to $24.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $29.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a $4.4 million decrease in marketing expenses which resulted primarily from a change in retailer programs. Also contributing to the decrease was a $752,000 decrease in distribution costs and a $389,000 decrease in freight and warehouse costs, which were partially offset by a $316,000 increase in realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and a $153,000 increase in sales force and sales administrative expenses.
Future Liquidity and Capital Needs. Our net working capital increased $4.1 million, or 16.9%, to $28.4 million as of September 30, 2010 from $24.3 million as of December 31, 2009. We anticipate that requirements for working capital will increase during the fourth quarter of 2010, when we typically experience higher inventory levels as we produce new products for shipment in the first quarter of the following year. We have budgeted capital expenditures of $5.1 million for 2010 for several key projects, including $3.6 million in investments in retail permanent fixtures, $800,000 in improvements to other manufacturing and distribution equipment, $623,000 in improvements to our information technology infrastructure, $50,000 to upgrade a product assembly line and $17,000 in improvements to our research and development equipment. We expect capital requirements related to fixture infrastructure to total $7.7 million for the period from September 2008 (inception of the project) to December 2010, of which $5.1 million was incurred as of September 30, 2010. We spent $333,000 for capital expenditures and $1.2 million for investments in retail permanent fixtures for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We believe that our cash flows from operations and funds from our financing arrangements entered into during November 2009 will provide adequate funds for our working capital needs and planned capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. No assurance can be given, however, that this will be the case.
The maximum amount available for borrowing under the new revolving credit facility is equal to the lesser of $25.0 million and a borrowing base formula equal to: (i) 65% or such lesser percentage of eligible accounts receivable as Wells Fargo in its discretion as an asset-based lender may deem appropriate; plus (ii) the least of (1) $14.0 million and (2) the sum of specified percentages (or such lesser percentages as Wells Fargo in its discretion as an asset-based lender may deem appropriate) of each of the following items of eligible inventory (as defined in the New Senior Credit Agreement): (A) of eligible inventory consisting of finished goods that are fully packaged, labeled and ready for shipping, not to exceed 65% of such eligible inventory, (B) eligible inventory consisting of semi-finished goods which are ready for packaging and shipping, not to exceed $4.0 million, (C) eligible inventory consisting of raw materials, not to exceed $1.5 million, (D) eligible inventory consisting of blank components, not to exceed $1.0 million and (E) eligible inventory consisting of returned items, not to exceed $0.75 million; plus (iii) the cash balance in a certain Canadian concentration account; less (iv) a working capital reserve of $1.0 million as such amount may be adjusted by Wells Fargo from time to time and a borrowing base reserve that Wells Fargo establishes from time to time in its discretion as a secured asset-based lender; less (v) indebtedness owed to Wells Fargo other than indebtedness outstanding under the new revolving credit facility. Availability under the new revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit.
The New Senior Credit Agreement defines "book net worth" as the Company s stockholders equity, determined in accordance with GAAP and calculated without regard to any change in the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets made in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The New Senior Credit Agreement requires that the Company has a minimum book net worth of $47.25 million as of September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with such covenant. The New Senior Credit Agreement defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as the Company s consolidated net income, calculated before (i) interest expense, (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) gains arising from the write-up of assets, (v) any extraordinary gains, (vi) stock-based compensation expenses, (vii) changes resulting from the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets made in accordance with ASC 350, and (viii) changes resulting from foreign exchange adjustments arising from a revaluation of assets subject to foreign currency revaluation, and (ix) provisions arising from adjustments to the Company s inventory reserves for obsolete, excess, or slow moving inventory. On June 29, 2010, Physicians entered into the First Amendment to the New Senior Credit Agreement (the "First Amendment") with Wells Fargo which reduced the minimum Adjusted EBITDA covenant for the 12 months ended June 30, 2010 by $850,000 to $11.0 million from $11.85 million. All other covenants, including the book net worth covenant, the maximum capital expenditure covenant and the other 2010 minimum Adjusted EBITDA covenants were not modified. In connection with the First Amendment, the Company paid Wells Fargo a fee of $10,000 and related expenses. The New Senior Credit Agreement requires that the Company has a minimum Adjusted EBITDA of $10.15 million for the 12 months ended September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with such covenant.

QUITMAN — The date has been set for a new trial for a man convicted of killing his wife and stepson in December 2007.
Wood County District Clerk's office confirmed that jury selection for Jason Payne will begin July 14, with the trial starting the next day. There are some pre-trial hearings also scheduled in May.
Payne, 43, was convicted for the double homicide during a 2010 trial and has spent the last four years in a Texas Department of Judicial Correction prison hoping he would get another trial.
Forensic experts disagreed on the evidence found at the scene, with those who were on scene saying Payne did not commit the crimes.
Other forensic specialists hired by the prosecution testified Payne was responsible for the murders.
In a 2011 Morning Telegraph story, Payne's family said they would never give up fighting for their family member, whom they say was wrongly convicted.
One Smith County sheriff's deputy has said he would testify in Payne's behalf all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if needed.
However, Wood County officials have said they believe Payne gunned down his wife, Nicole, and 16-year-old stepson, Austin Wages, and that Payne would be found guilty again.
In 2013 the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals voted 8-1 to reverse the 12th District Court of Appeals confirmation of the case and remanded Payne's case back to Wood County for a new trial.
The decision for the reversal was due to the judge in the case allowing hearsay testimony.

To start with, it's a city with the worst team in the NFL that's hazing us. The Chargers' record is even more lame than the Bengals'. It's a city that once had an NBA basketball team, and that team turned into the Los Angeles Clippers.
So how does anybody from San Diego come off giving lip in any direction, least of all this one?
Someone e-mailed us a while back in regard to how a publication called the San Diego Reader, by way of a football contest it sponsors, took a sarcastic poke at Lubbock. The next week, another e-mail. This week, a friend wrote a letter to the editor.
Sportingbox.com, the web site, is gettin' our goats on this deal, and I don't mean the goats some San Diego people seem to think we keep penned up in our back yard.
If you haven't heard, at Sportingbox.com there is a football contest in which the last-place finisher for the entire season gets sent to Lubbock, portrayed as sort of an American Siberia, only warmer. You know the drill: Go see the y'all drawlers, the hay haulers, the people with 10-gallon hats on their head and cowflop on their boots.
''Do you grasp the vision? A corner room in the local Motel 6. You and that special guy, gal or family pet. Add a long, leisurely, after-hours stroll through the cattle yards of Lubbock. Can you say, 'Romance!'?''
A massive longhorn dominates the artist's rendering of Lubbock, although I must say it's some spacious green pastureland behind the cow and a good nine or 10 trees. (Psst! Guys. You do a lousy job perpetuating the dusty flatland stereotype, drawing in all the grass and trees.)
I assume the contest is on the level, which means some lucky San Diegan will be sent here, see a Lubbock girl and, naturally, stay forever. I dialed the Reader and left a message for the person in charge of contest prizes, some guy named Patrick. I didn't hear back from anybody. I assume they're waiting for me to run the string from my tin can to theirs.
Which, of course, would have involved my getting to Southern California.
The last time I was in Southern California on a sports assignment, getting to the hotel was anxiety central. I kept the windows rolled up, the doors locked and tried to time the traffic lights, not for the sake of fuel economy but for the sake of not getting carjacked by the dudes on the corner.
OK, to be fair, that was in L.A., not San Diego.
I think San Diego wishes it were L.A. Or San Jose. Or Lubbock if it were lucky.
They have it all over us with what?
In football, they have the Chargers, 0-and-5.
In basketball, they had the Clippers.
In baseball, they have the Padres, who could never get it right on the uniforms.
In hockey, they have no NHL team, which means points off in any quality of life discussion involving L.A., Anaheim, San Jose or Phoenix.
In college sports, remind me, is San Diego State in the WAC or the Mountain West?
In football contests, they have a rule that wouldn't fly in Texas.
To be eligible for contest prizes, it says at Sportingbox.com, ''You must play eight weeks during the course of the NFL season, including playoffs and the Super Bowl (21 weeks).''
Compete eight weeks out of 21? That must be the Charger Rule.
And that's just in sports. Lubbock wins way of life by even more of a blowout. San Diego would be jealous of our women, couldn't touch our Tex-Mex, not to mention our barbecue, and couldn't relate to Interstate 27, what with no traffic jams and all.
If the uppity San Diego people would like to discuss it further, drop by. I'll be out back, getting my longhorn steers ready to sic 'em.

Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in North Carolina
Doctor Laws
I have a scenario about a doctor walking along the beach in Nc, where a person is hurt and the doctor decides not to help this person. I was trying to find laws that might base him to helping this person since he is a doctor and I believe he took that othe. Can you help me with something here?

Re: Doctor Laws
I will defer to lawyers that specialize in this area, but as a general matter, I do not think the doctor would have a legal duty to render assistance. A true doctor-patient relationship was never created. As a general matter, unless the doctor (or other person) created the situation, or unless there is some "special relationship," the doctor (or other person) has no duty to render assistance. There may, of course, be a moral duty to render assistance, but I doubt there was a legal duty. It is worth noting as an aside that if he or she did offer assistance, that could expose him or her to liability for malpractice. I believe there is a "good Samaritan" statute that would protect persons rendering assistance, but I believe it excludes professionals. As a rough analogy, think of an automobile mechanic that drives by a stranded motorist -- does he have a legal duty to render assistance? I think not.

PRV segment explained
The PRV segment in ANSI is used to identify the Taxonomy Code specialty of the Provider. You must send the PRV segment in each claim, either in the Billing Provider Loop which is 2000A or in the Rendering Provider Loop which is 2310B.
It is required to have the Taxonomy (PRV segment in the 2000A Billing Provider loop).
The only exception to this rule is if the Rendering and Billing are different
people. If they are different people you would then insert the PRV segment in the 2310B Rendering Provider loop.
If the 2310B Rendering Provider loop is not in the claim, then the PRV segment has to be used in the 2000A Billing Provider loop.
2000A Billing Provider Loop:
PRV*BI segment ("BI" represents BILLING)
2310B Rendering Provider Loop:
PRV*PE segment ("PE" represents PERFORMING)
It has come to the attention of Wave-EDI that an extremely small number of Insurance Companies are requiring that the PRV segment be sent in both the Billing and Rendering loops. This is against the ANSI 837p standard and we hope that this number does not increase.
