Alcatel-Lucent posts net loss of 336 million in Q2
Post a comment
PARIS Impacted by merger costs and writedowns, Telecommunications equipment provider Alcatel-Lucent reported a net loss of 336 million for the second quarter of 2007, compared to a profit of 302 million for the same period last year.
For the second quarter of 2007, Paris-based Alcatel-Lucent announced revenues of 4.33 billion, up
Commenting on the quarterly sales, Alcatel-Lucent's CEO Patricia Russo declared: "This quarter, our revenues sequentially grew by a solid
In the second quarter of 2007, the gross margin was
According to Russo, this result was "lower than we would have liked and was negatively impacted by continued significant investments in key markets, an unfavorable product and geographic mix as well as some impact from product related transition costs as customers migrate their networks." She added that "the gross margin level this quarter is not indicative of the business going forward."
Alcatel-Lucent specified that the adjusted net loss of
Looking ahead, Russo said she anticipates sequential revenue growth as the year progresses, which implies a strong ramp-up in the second half 2007. For the full year 2007, she expects "revenues to increase on a percentage basis at the carrier market growth rate of mid single digits at a constant Euro/USD exchange rate.

Work begins on converting fire station to police station
Ron Gower/TIMES NEWS Lehighton Borough manager John C. Wagner, in red shirt, hosts construction meeting at the Station 2 building of Lehighton Fire Department where a new police station is being constructed. New lighting will be added to the breezeway of the station, where police will likely park when they bring a suspect to the station for questioning or processing. The new police station is expected to be occupied in August.
Already there's one obvious sign that a new police station is being built in Lehighton.
A jail cell or holding cell, as is the more politically correct term has been installed.
The police station is being built on the first floor of Station 2, the former Engine Company No. 2 building, of the Lehighton Fire Department. It is located in the 100 block of South Third Street.
The garage of Station 2 will still by used by the fire company for housing fire apparatus, although the fire department is planning to eventually construct a new fire station.
Besides the new holding cell, various phases of construction are evident including the installation of office partitions, partial removal of drywall, and old electrical lighting fixtures are removed.
Yesterday, a construction meeting was held at the project site. Headed by Lehighton Borough manager John C. Wagner, all contractors involved gave him and Lehighton work foreman Lonnie Armbruster an update on how work is progressing.
The work is scheduled to be completed in August. Wagner said he initially hoped to have the project done by April, but he wasn't aware that the door for the holding cell had to be ordered special and there was a waiting period for it.
The door has arrived and it has been installed by the general contractor, F. J. Lesher of Palmerton. Fred Lesher Sr., of the Lesher firm, said the door and the key for it arrived separately.
The combined bids for the police station project total $261,968. Discussion yesterday indicated the cost might rise slightly from change orders, with the addition of a more energy-efficient heating system, lighting to the rear of the structure, and lighting in the breezeway. Armbruster pointed out that there will be a parking lot at the rear of the structure and no provisions were made for lighting.
On Thursday, bids will be opened for a fencing area around the rear of the building. The contract for the fence is expected to be awarded when Lehighton Borough Council meets at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 25.
The contractors for the project are:
F. J. Lesher, Palmerton general construction.
S & K Construction, Tobyhanna plumbing.
L & S Electric, Lehighton HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) and electric.
When the new police station is completed, it will be named in honor of the late Wilbur A. "Cap" Bauchspies, who died last May 13 at the age of 81 while serving as a member of borough council. He had been mayor for 28 years beginning in 1969, and served on the council for 14 years.
The mayor is in charge of the police department.
His wife, Bessie, is currently on the borough council.
The present police station is located in the Lehighton Municipal Building. A study in 2004 showed Lehighton police had less square footage than most other police departments in the area.
The study at that time showed the Lehighton Police Department, with eight full-time officers, had 805 square feet of station space. Palmerton, which also had eight full-time police officers at the time, had 3,280 square feet of station space. Jim Thorpe, with six full-time officers, had 3,016 square feet of space, and Slatington Police, with six full-time officers, had 4,140 square feet of station space.
The police department has expressed concern to the council that the tight quarters in the existing station could make for dangerous situations when suspects are questioned or brought in for processing.

Carl D.wrote a review of Mountain Hardwear Offwidth Softshell Jacket - Men's on August 15, 2011
Superb Lightweight Softshell!
I got this same jacket about a year ago here at a super sale price. My son outgrew his OR softshell jacket, so I got him this jacket to replace it. Besides the 2 zippered handwarmer pockets and zippered Naploleon chest pocket, there is an open pouch pocket inside to store a water bottle or a hat and gloves. This is a well made and very durable softshell. It has a trim athletic cut, and is just right to wear in mild Fall, Spring, and even cool Summer days.
For colder weather or Winter use, you can add a heavy weight long underwear top or a 100 weight fleece shirt underneath it. If it is colder than that, you can easily add an insulated jacket or vest over the top of this jacket for additional warmth. It is raining hard today and in the low 60s, so I am wearing my Off Width Jacket while I write this!

He lied about his divorce
Good morning. 1 p.m. chat.
I'm going to get this out fast before I lose the nerve to send my emotional distress out into the universe for judgment. I've been with my boyfriend for three years and we've lived together for half that time. I'm in my late 20s and he is in his late 30s, divorced with kids.
Our relationship progressed pretty quickly -- we fell in love and experienced all of the wonderful things about a new romance. Overall, everything has been really good between us. We laugh together, travel together, and have planned our future together. My only concern throughout our relationship surrounds his divorce. Boyfriend does not like talking about it, didn't willingly share information about it, and doesn't like to answer my questions about it. From the beginning I assumed that his divorce was final (he never said otherwise), but I recently found out that the divorce wasn't legally finalized until last year (around the time we moved in together). I had a feeling this was the case because certain things did not add up but he kept denying it. I didn't want to press the subject because it would always end up in a fight and I wanted to believe him. He finally confessed.
I have no doubts about his feelings toward me and his dreams of being with me forever. The ex-wife is a non-issue for us as they have been separated for years. The delay with the divorce was simply technical difficulties with paperwork. My question to you and the readers is -- will I be able to trust him now that I know he has withheld information? He admits that he made a mistake and assures me that he was trying to protect me because I didn't deserve to go through it and he was afraid he would lose me. I understand that divorce is just an official legal date but I feel misled. Does his fear of loss -- and his attempt to protect me from the mess of his past relationship -- justify his long-lasting lie? I have been told by people who have gone through divorce how devastating and embarrassing it can be, so does this qualify him for a second chance? My heart wants to be with him but my head tells me this is a deal breaker. Boyfriend tells me he has never been happier in his life now that he is with me, but I'm not feeling too happy at the moment.
– Follow My Heart or Throw In The Towel?, Boston
"Does his fear of loss and his attempt to protect me from the mess of his past relationship justify his long-lasting lie?" No way, FMHOTITT. He caused you more pain by lying to you. But the lie only a deal-breaker if you want it to be. And really, it's only a deal-breaker if he doesn't understand why lying to you was wrong.
Did he apologize for the cover-up because he made you feel bad -- or because he truly understands that disclosure is necessary from now on? If you're going to stay together, 99.9 percent of his life is going to be your business. He has to be on board for that.
My advice is to ask. Ask as many questions as you want about the marriage and divorce. Ask about the kids. Ask about everything. If you get the sense that he's being closed off about anything, there's your red flag. "Boyfriend does not like talking about it, didn't willingly share information about it, and doesn't like to answer my questions about it." That just doesn't work. What if he was that way about money? Or his health? Protecting you means telling the truth. He either understands that or he doesn't.
Talk to him. Find out if this was really a learning experience for him. If not, consider that while your heart is important, your head (which is somehow attached to your gut) has a point.
Readers? Would you leave someone after three years if they lied to you about their divorce? Is this mistake more forgivable after three years than it would have been after one? Has he learned a real lesson? Does the pain and embarrassment of the divorce justify the lie? Get to it.

We must better prepare for biological weapons
The threat of biological weapons may seem like a distant alarmist fantasy, but the reality is the United States isn�t prepared to handle a biological attack or even an outbreak of a serious infectious disease. The most important change we can make is for government to form a partnership with the media to better inform citizens.
Not a lot is known about the threats biological agents pose to American security. Secretary Tom Vilsack of the USDA said, �A prediction of 75 people suffering from a food-borne illness can turn into 5,000 casualties fairly quickly.�
Testing for biological agents and contaminants in food is difficult just like testing for airborne biological agents is difficult. Sensors can be placed at every key city, but a change in the wind can cause a serious threat to go undetected until people start getting sick. All citizens are informed by the media, who might misreport or only partially hear information and cause a panic. Rep. Paul Ryan believes �the CDC does quite a bit and plays a big role [in informing the public].�
However, the government should work with the media to better inform the public.
Because of changes created by the new health care bill, Sen. Herb Kohl stated, �pandemics won�t spread as quickly and as far.� Hospitals are to be better prepared. People will be more likely to see doctors if they�re feeling sick. In short, professionals will be better equipped to handle a biological attack, and strengthening general health will increase our resilience.
Any step the government makes is useless if the average population does nothing. The most important change we can make is for government to form a closer partnership with the media. It�s imperative that government assumes slightly more responsibility while leaving some initiative for the average citizen.

Re: Nancy Updikes Till Peace Do Us Part [May 28]. I read this article, and though I understand the politics behind your publication, I was shocked to read such undocumented lies, distortion of truth and lack of facts regarding the plight of the Palestinians. The Palestinians do deserve a better life without Arafat. And if men are imprisoned, believe me, it is not because they looked funny the day they were arrested; it is because they were implicated in affairs that were a security risk to Israeli civilians. Updike speaks in the tongue of the Women in Black, people who hate the state of Israel, want to see it dismantled, and pray for the neighboring Arab states to take over the only democracy in the Middle East. In fact, they wish America would fall victim to radical Islam as well.

The Israelis just want peace. Arafat walked away from the best deal ever because he never wanted to recognize the state of Israel. He wants it destroyed, from the Jordan to the sea. Acceptance of the Camp David accords would have meant he would have had to fix roads, improve education, pave streets, set up a legitimate police force and stop funneling the millions into his Swiss bank accounts this from the man who began setting up a new terrorist network before the ink was dry at Oslo.

Re: Dr. G.s Hard Medicine [May 28]. As a physician with more than 20 years experience practicing pediatrics, more than 12 of them with L.A. County, as well as a taxpayer, homeowner and concerned citizen, it angers me to read about hardworking county employees being faced with the possible loss of their jobs, while a major root cause of never-ending financial drainage is rarely mentioned in print, let alone actually addressed. Of course, a health department that is the last resort of the indigent and medically indigent can never pay its own way, and it would be foolish to pretend that it ever could. Nevertheless, the existence of large numbers of extremely highly paid individuals whose jobs include zero or a token amount of patient care is a phenomenon that, interestingly, exists in a publicly funded organization that, every five years or so, by necessity finds itself running to the taxpayers and screaming, Give us more money or well have to close hospitals!
By no means is this phenomenon restricted to M.D.s; I am sure all divisions of the county Department of Health Services operation involve three to five times more managers than do organizations that would go out of business if they were wasteful and inefficient. I am in a position to see firsthand the wastefulness involved in the employment of so-called medical administrators, and am saddened by the huge expenditures incurred by an unwell system that is teetering on the edge of collapse. Specifically, I serve under a supervising physician who currently supervises a grand total of three (!) physicians and two (!) nurse practitioners; however, it is clear his real job is to relay the dictates of his superior, a department head who provides no patient care, has gone out of her way to block practicing physicians from availing themselves of in-house as well as out-of-the-facility continuing medical education, and enjoys the luxury of total non-accountability due to the existence of a layer of physicians who view themselves as instruments and good soldiers (my supervisors own words). This apparatus, benefiting no one but the individuals in question, often involves costs to the taxpayer of about $200,000 per physician.
Unfortunately, when we have layoffs or fear of layoffs in a civil-service system like this one, only the people at the bottom, the people who practice the actual health care, are affected. Many hardworking and talented people doctors, nurses and others will test the waters and leave voluntarily. Based on what I saw in 1995, the best and most marketable will leave in disproportionate numbers. There may be token cuts in management; a few chiefs may be forced to endure becoming Indians for a few weeks or months, then be quietly reinstated to their previous stations, while the lack of staffing at positions directly dealing with the patients remains unremedied.
If county management did, it would almost surely save so much money it wouldnt have to lay off any real doctors, nurses, etc., wouldnt compromise patient care one iota, and, as a bonus, there would be the possibility that administrative decisions might even make some sense. Without multiple layers of intermediaries, there would exist a chance to have accountability in proportion to power as opposed to the status quo, where we have an organization whose hallmark is infinite power coupled with zero accountability.

I just read that great article by Jim Crogan [Made in the USA, Part III: The Dishonor Role, April 25May 1], and I would like to point out an interview I heard on KPFKs Democracy Now, with Dan Briody, author of The Iron Triangle: The Secret History of the Carlyle Group. The group, says Briody, operates within the so-called iron triangle of industry, government and the military. Its list of former and current advisers and associates includes a vast array of some of the most powerful men in America, and indeed around the world: President Bush Senior, President Bush Junior, former British Prime Minister John Major, former Secretary of State James Baker, Secretary of State Colin Powell, the half brother of Osama bin Laden . . .
I urge you to look into this and do a story on it.

On Marc Coopers article Beat Bush [Dissonance, May 915], here is yet another lets be reasonable sermon by Mr. Cooper. He asks where all the paranoia about Mr. Bush comes from. Perhaps it stems from the fact that in two and a half years, he has assumed power under dubious circumstances, taken this as a mandate for imposing his neo-Christian beliefs on everyone, turned an economic surplus into a massive deficit (a good part of which has been used to feed his fat corporate friends and annihilate a couple of Third World countries), and blatantly resurrected the image of the Ugly American worldwide. And you think Dick Gephardt is a worse choice? Contrary to your feeble attempts at reassurance, Mr. Bush is a dangerous president. LBJ killed 2 million Vietnamese. Bush has killed ONLY thousands of Iraqis, but he still has five and a half years to go. Yes, Mr. Cooper, we realize only too well that Bushs 70 percent approval rating is not a myth.
Bill Clinton may have had one blowjob too many for his own good, but Ill take the state of the union from 1992 to 2000 over that of Bush Nation any day. Yes, the United States has survived depressions, wars and despotic administrations without, as you put it, learning German. African-Americans have survived and overcome slavery and lynchings, and Jews have survived holocausts and bigotry. So, whats your point that we should just sit back and say things could be worse? The Republicans are counting on you. Keep up the good work.

Everything chic and refined about the iconic Fiat 500 is simply enhanced by the 500C, which adds glamour to an already beautiful model through the addition of an eye-catching soft-top. This means you'll not only turn heads while driving through the city, but you'll do it in style with the wind in your hair.
The effortless style of the Fiat 500 is heightened by the added appeal of the soft-top which folds neatly into the rear to keep road noise to a minimum. Distinctive window frames complement the curving roofline, as do the dainty curves of the chassis. The contrasting soft-top colour adds extra dynamism to the look, while the cute circular headlamps and chrome-enhanced grille encapsulate the petite elegance of the car.
The car comes in five trim levels, where the entry-level Pop offers both style, in its electric soft-roof, and your own personal touch as different coloured seats and leather options are available. The 500C Cult includes black or chrome door mirrors and rear lights with a striking black 'eye liner' effect, along with sporty 16-inch alloy wheels.
The cabin is full of character with a stylish design inspired by the vintage aesthetic of the original 500. In a nod to that classic, the sleek plastic strip along the dashboard mirrors the exterior's body colour, and the uncluttered interior is an eye-catching oasis of cream-coloured leather upholstery. The seating offers plenty of leg and headroom with the sport trim featuring embroidered Fiat logos. Elsewhere, stylish gear knobs are a feature whichever trim you go for, however the Cult trim adds to the civilised layout with chrome detailing both inside and out. The Cult model also includes advanced technology such as the Blue&Me integrated control as well as rear parking sensors.
Engine and performance
Like the hatchback, the most efficient engine of the pack is the 875cc 0.9i petrol engine in the Lounge trim, which offers incredible value for money and class-leading efficiency by returning a fuel-sipping 71mpg combined. What's more, only 90g/km of CO 2 is emitted. If you're looking for pace, the nifty 105bhp twin cylinder 0.9i TwinAir engine on the same model powers from 0-60mph in 10 seconds, with top speeds of 117mph giving you plenty of punch when navigating though busy roads.
The Fiat 500C's compact size gives it incredible agility around urban environments. Indeed, this car was born for the city, where Fiat's useful City Steering mode gives you added power in the steering wheel to glide around tight corners and sneak into the tiniest of parking spaces. High quality wheels ensure firm gripping on roads, while the tenacious engine gives you enough clout to carve through traffic with ease.

Bad news if you're a trainee. By the time you qualify you might not be trousering quite as many sponds as you'd hoped.
Today's call for a cut in newly qualifieds' salaries will send a chill through an already all-but-frozen market. Job offers continue to fall and, as we reported last week, even those that are offered a job sometimes get short shrift.
Now the continuing pressure on top City firms from mushrooming in-house teams and rampaging regional giants could result in a dose of economic reality at the most junior end of the market.
One brave soul questioned why those at the top end couldn't take a pay cut to subsidise the young 'uns. Rest assured, those of you on £1.2m a year, the recruitment consultants who have made the call to cut NQ salaries know better than anyone what impact that would have on the hiring market for star partners.
Your wonga is safe. Your kids' might not be.

Presume that each of the 4 packs were charged individually (not in parallel) and with the charger in balance charge mode? Also, what charge rate was selected?
I also agree that things aren't always perfect but I have seen as many incorrect diagnoses as bad hardware.
IMO if one charges 4 seperate 6S LiPolys cell # 1,2,3,5 are 4.20 and cell # 4 and 6 are 4.17 according to the iCharger's display and a know accurate DVM then no recalibration is required.
To many expect way to much accuracy from hobby grade equipment and place way to much faith in what said equipment shows them.IMO.
Take said charged / balanced LiPolys and let them set for several hours and then recheck thier voltages. Take on fresh off of charge connect to RC power system, run motor at 1/2 throttle for 15 seconds then recheck the cell's voltages.
As long as the cells are not be charged past 4.235 and are above 4.15 and there is no extremely difference / inbalance then it really makes little to no difference unless one is using extremely expensive LiPolys in extreme applications.
Today with balancing chargers which cost less than $200 and LiPolys which cost less than $50 many are more concerned than miost use to be when chargers cost $400 and LiPolys cost 4 to 6X present pricent and that was for LiPolys with 1/4 of todays performance.

I have a problem : iCharger 208B, Setup Used : Using 20A 12v stabilised PSU, Balance charging 6S 4500 to 3S 400, all Loong Max lipo. Charger is showing a fault when charging 3/4S packs. If I connect a 3S pack & try to charge, says 'Bal Low'. When checking the cell voltage, it reads the 3 cells ok, but also shows a fourth cell at around 1.14V, even though its a 3S pack connected. same error with 4S packs.. Have swapped the balance board with another identical one (my friend has the same charger), fault remains. have used my board with friends Icharger, & my lipos, all is ok, so fault would appear to be with my charger. Should I return it for replacement, or might it be a software issue that I can sort using the Icharger program? This has been up to now a 5* charger, & I'm reluctant to do without it for a long time, as i regularly charge 6S packs, which my other charger cannot handle.
Further to my previous message, here's some more info.When connecting the 3S pack, I get 'Bal Low' message. when trying to start charge, i get 'Balance port cell low vol' error. if i check the cell voltage, it shows 3 healthy cells all at 3.81v, then a cell 4 at 1.11v. Have double checked the balance board for continuity, all ok. Have also checked the cell voltage with a fluke multimeter, and all cells show 3.81v. Have also checked software for latest vesion. If i try to non-balance charge a 3S pack without the balance connector plugged in, its fine, but if i try with it connected, I get the same error. Any ideas?
206B+ help
ok so im charging my first ever lipo batt,
I plugged everything in, and did the auto-balance-charge,
i pushed the start button for 3 sec, and it started up,,,
1-How do i know when it has finished charging?
does it beep?
or does it shut down?
I read the manual but im confused,,
Please check the PM we have sent to you. Thanks for your cooperation.
Hi Junsi,
now that I read it, I remember that I also got this error once or twice. Could you send me that PM as well?
Apart from that, have you had time to read the mail where I sent you the following suggestions?
Hello Junsi,
Here are some of my suggestions:
1) Fastmod LiXX Charging
I have recently learned about a new fast charge method for LiPos (and other Lixx packs).
This method is built up on the theory, that a cell can be divided into the charge storage (galvanic cell), and a resistor (the inner resistance).
When the cell is charged, the total cell voltage consists of both the voltage of the galvanic cell (charge storage), and the voltage drop across the resistor.
Important for the CV phase of the charge is only the voltage of the galvanic cell, but not the one of the resistor.
But normal chargers can only take the sum of both into account during a charge, thus reducing the charge current and terminating the charge process too early. One can easily see this, as most packs have a sudden voltage drop when the charger stops charging.
This new method makes little pauses during the charge without current. Then the voltage is checked. Without current, we do not have a voltage drop across the resistor; hence the charger only sees the actually important voltage of the galvanic cell.
During charge, the total cell voltage is allowed to go up to 4.35V (LiPo), but only, if the "resting voltage" (without current) of the cell stays at or below 4.20V.
It is said, that this considerably reduces charge time, while not compromising the batteries cycle life.
I think that this might be an interesting feature to add to the charger. I would gladly do the field testing work.
2) Charge termination on unbalanced packs
Every now and then, one hears complaints that an iCharger failed to balance a pack completely. One of my friends, who also bought an iCharger on my recommendation, ran into the same problem. I never have the problem, but this could be due to my setting "trickle charge on".
I assume that the following is going on:
If a severely unbalanced pack is charged with a high current, the balancing process might not be finished by the time the current is reduced to 1/10. When the current is reduced to 1/10, the charge process stops, but the balancing is not finished yet.
So my suggestion would be to stop the charge process only, if all cells have the same voltage and are balanced.
Maybe, the message "BAL" could be displayed alternating/blinking at aht place of the current in the display, so that the user is informed why everything takes so long.
3) Set separate current reduction values for "alarm" and "charge termination"
As I read, many people want their batteries charged as fast as possible, and therefore choose the "fast charge" option, although the battery is not charged as full as possible here, like in the slower "balance charge" mode.
I think that there is a very elegant solution to the underlying problem.
One does not necessarily have to stop the charge, when the alarm sounds.
I once had a charger (Orbit Pocketlader), where one could set two different current reduction values for the alarm and the charge termination.
For example, 1/5 for the alarm, and 1/20 for the charge termination.
So, when the current is reduced to 1/5, the alarm sounds, and the user knows that the pack is ready, and can disconnect it. However, if the user does not need the pack yet, as he is having barbecue or a beer or he is still flying, the charge continues until the user has time to disconnect the pack. This way, the pack will be completely charged until 1/20 current reduction.
Many people really liked this feature on the Pocketlader.
This would leave you with two options, "balance charge" and "charge". Either one would be as quick as the "fast charge", but also totally complete at the same time, when one leaves the battery connected after the alarm.
4) NiXX forming charge
During the years, I noticed that NiXX packs which need a forming charge all behave quite different, so that the algorithm we once developed failed to work in some cases. As most people who want a forming charge are in no rush, it does not matter if it lasts a little longer.
Also, some people have a problem when they are supposed to set the capacity, as it is the case now, as they have to set a charge current in all other programs
So my suggestion would be this simple method, which should work with any pack:
a) set charge current
b) press start
Then, the chargers charges for 14h with the set current, and then terminates the charge. This way is more equal to the traditional forming charge people know.
Kind regards, Julian
+1 for faster charging method.
When i do 4C charge on my packs without balancing, there is 5 minute CC phase and 5 minute CV phase down to 1/10 current.
I must try how long it take when i connect balance cables, but i have my reasons why not to connect them.
What i know is the voltage on the output goes higher over full charge voltage, because the charger sense the voltage drop of the cables, because it have reading from balance connectors.

Paxon filled its head coaching vacancy on Wednesday, announcing Steve Brown as the Golden Eagles' next football coach.
Brown served on Mandarin's staff last season as the defensive coordinator.
He replaces Marquis Lundy, who was not retained following a 2-8 season.
"I've been waiting awhile for this one [opportunity]," Brown said. "I'm going to lay a great foundation and help turn the program around."
Brown has some familiarity with Paxon.
He was an assistant for a season at the school in 2001 before leaving for Sandalwood.
Brown was elevated to defensive coordinator in his second season there and spent six years with the Saints.
He's been at Mandarin since then.
Brown said that he'd wait until he met with Paxon players and combed through the list of returnees before deciding what offensive scheme will best suit the Golden Eagles.

A round coffee table softens the lines of a contemporary sofa. "It doesn't overwhelm like a large rectangular table or a trunk does," says John Loecke, a New York City-based designer.
—"Make sure the coffee table is no lower than the bottom of your sofa frame where the cushions are," says Loecke. Standard height is 16 to 19 inches.
—Materials matter. A wood base mellows a modern setting, and the glass top adds sparkle and lightness. "Pick a carpet with a graphic pattern, especially if the sofa fabric is a solid," Loecke says.
—As a basic rule of thumb, select a table that's no more than half the sofa's width, for easy access.

Manatee condo owners direct ire at KB
BRADENTON - Manatee County building inspectors say at least 21 condos in the Willowbrook neighborhood, near Lakewood Ranch, are unsafe because the balconies could cave in. Some residents say they've complained about rotting floors and mold for years. But their builder, KB Home, has failed to offer a permanent solution. Neighborhood leaders say at least 60 homeowners say they have problems. So recently, they have taken to the street to protest and sent thousands of letters to elected officials and the media. KB, one of the nation's largest home builders and a big player in Tampa area home construction, says it wants to repair the units.Some residents, though, say they've had enough repairs and want the builder to buy back their homes. Now, there are new allegations that the problematic construction may go much deeper than some rickety balconies. A general contractor, hired by one homeowner to find out why her condo had so many problems, said he found scores of construction issues. "In my opinion, as a general contractor, and from the codes that I know, from the way things are done, this is just a major, major, major problem," said Michael Hamilton, of CMM Commercial Contractors, Inc. Hamilton said he couldn't find the source of the homeowner's mold issue without tearing out drywall in some rooms and inspecting the construction. He says he found outside wallboards that were barely nailed in, mold deep within some walls and hurricane straps, required by law, missing. "All these 2-by-4s, top and bottom are supposed to have a strap, a hurricane strap, especially at this elevation," Hamilton said, pointing out his findings. "This is the third floor. If you have a wind on the ground floor of 100 (mph), it would probably be 120 (mph) up here." KB declined to answer questions about the condos or Hamilton's findings. The company issued this statement: "KB Home is making repairs in the Willowbrook community, and stands ready to immediately address the remaining homeowners' concerns once they provide access to the impacted homes. We continue to work closely with the Willowbrook Association to ensure there is an appropriate protocol that will allow us to make the necessary repairs." Hamilton said he worries that what he found shows the other condo owners who have complained need more than their balconies repaired. He says the condos are not fixable. "In my opinion, the only way this can be fixed is to totally gut the interior, strap it properly, get rid of all the bad wood, take the windows out and reset them, take the floors out, reset them, the kitchens out, the bathrooms out," Hamilton said. "If you work the numbers on that, KB could build new (homes) for less than it would cost to fix it." An even bigger problem than construction, Hamilton said, is that Manatee County building officials didn't catch the issues early in the construction process. Manatee building inspectors disagree with Hamilton's assessment and say the only problem is some of the balconies. "These entire structures are not unsafe," said C.J. Dupre, Manatee County building official. "Only walking out on the balcony is unsafe." Dupre says Hamilton tore down the drywall, and dismantled part of the condo, without a permit and without the consent of the condo association, which owns the buildings. Therefore, he said, nothing he found can be used as evidence against the construction quality. Even so, Manatee officials plan to take a look for themselves at the unit Hamilton reviewed today. Meanwhile, the owner of that condo, Roxanne Miller, is living out of state. She said her condo made her sick, and she moved out in April 2010 on the advice of her doctor. She said that she hired Hamilton to tear out drywall because she wanted to know what was wrong. KB, she said, did only "band-aid" repairs. "I have black mold that sent me to the hospital with respiratory problems multiple times,'' Miller said. "I can't live there, and KB refuses to fix it."

[1]The slowest year for mergers and acquisitions since the depths of the financial crisis finally picked up steam in the final three months of 2012, but the headline deal figures were still small beer compared with what the market used to enjoy.
Total transaction value for 2012 was down about 10% versus the previous year to $2.19 trillion, according to Bloomberg data, but almost $700 billion of that total came in just the last three months — good for the hottest deal activity since the third quarter of 2008.
Yes, companies are sitting on record levels of cash, and corporate borrowing costs are essentially at historic lows. But the crisis in eurozone and, more recently, the stalemate over the U.S. fiscal cliff have put a damper on M&A.
Think about it: How many of the megadeals of 2012 can you rattle off the top of your head?
Nothing hit the headlines like Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:BRK.A[2]; NYSE:BRK.B[3]) $44 billion deal for Burlington Northern Santa Fe did back in 2009. Or even last year's boffo $25.5 billion deal when Duke Energy (NYSE:DUK[4]) bought Progress Energy.
Indeed, the biggest deal of 2012 — and it was a big one — didn't involve any U.S.-listed companies. Have a look at the seven biggest M&A deals of 2012 and see which ones ring a bell:
At any rate, the recent uptick in deal activity might just indicate that the M&A drought is coming to an end. If that turns out to be the case, it should help support valuations and share prices in 2013.
As of this writing, Dan Burrows did not hold positions in any of the aforementioned securities.

11. Red 3
The evidence that this dye caused thyroid tumors in rats is "convincing," according to a 1983 review committee report requested by FDA. FDA's recommendation that the dye be banned was overruled by pressure from elsewhere in the Reagan administration. Red 3 was formerly used to color maraschino cherries, but it has been replaced there by the less controversial Red 40 dye. It is still used in a smattering of foods ranging from cake icing to fruit roll-ups to chewing gum.
12. Blue 1 Lake
According to CSPI's Chemical Cuisine: "One (unpublished) animal test suggested a small cancer risk, and a test-tube study indicated the dye might affect neurons. It also causes occasional allergic reactions."
13. Sesame Oil
An oil that is high in vitamin E.
Tootsie Roll Midgee
The Tootsie Roll is a national candy treasure, and if you or your children go trick or treating you're more than likely to end up with one of these in your pile of goodies.
Nutritional Information (per Midgee): 23 calories; 0.5g fat; 4.5 g carbs; 0.16 g protein
1. Sugar: See above.
2. Corn Syrup: See above.
3. Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil
Creates trans fat, which increases heart disease.
4. Condensed Skim Milk
Milk from which the liquid has been removed and to which, typically, sugar has been added.
5. Cocoa
A powder made by roasting and grinding cocoa beans and removing the cocoa butter. This is safe to eat and is actually the heart-healthy component of chocolate.
6. Whey
The watery substance that separates from the solids (the curd) in milk.
7. Soya Lecithin
Soy comes from the soy bean. Lecithin is an emulsifier.
8. Artificial and Natural Flavors
According to the Federal Code: "The term artificial flavor or artificial flavoring means any substance, the function of which is to impart flavor, which is not derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof." Natural flavors, on the other hand, are derived from natural sources.
Healthy Choices
Looking to avoid candy altogether on Halloween? Good news: According to research done at Yale University and reported in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, children are just as likely to choose toys as candy on Halloween.
For the study, seven households offered 284 trick or treaters between the ages of three and 14 a choice between comparably sized toys and candies. The results showed that the children were just as likely to choose the toys as the candy. How about bubbles, Play-Dough, Silly Putty? It might be worth a try, although it might cost a bit more—at the very least you'll be promoting good health.

Emraan Hashmi moves out of the Bhatt fold temporarily for a film that brings Hollywood's Warner Bros to Indian shores for the second time. Their first project in Hindi is Nikhil Advani's Chandni Chowk To China.
The second venture sees Warner tying up with Tandav films, of Khosla Ka Ghosla, for a study of intimate human relationships set in Delhi. And Emraan Hashmi gets a total makeover of look image and personality for the part. Finally, after playing the serial kisser in a series of Bhatt films, Emraan is ready to play a fully mature married man with kids.
And the producers, not convinced that Emraan could carry off the mellow mature look, are giving him a complete makeover. Emraan admits sheepishly that he is going into a totally different zone this time. He also admits that his attempts to go beyond the Bhatt family fold haven't been so successful. "I did The Train which wasn't by the Bhatts and where I played a married man. So, it isn't as if I haven't played a married man with a family before. I agree such attempts haven't been so successful for me. Films where I've a streak of mystery and mischief are more liked. I haven't been appreciated in my mature roles like Awaarapan. With my new film I hope to rectify that. When writer Jaideep Sahni narrated it to me I immediately wanted to do it. It takes me into areas and emotions I haven't covered before."
The untitled film being produced by Savita Raj of Tandav Filmswho produced last year's sleeper hit Khosla Ka Ghosla, also finds the writer Jaideep Sahni moving out of his comfort zone. Jaideep who wrote the two inspirational films Chak De India and Aaja Nachle for Yashraj Films is looking forward to the challenge of writing a film that takes him into a different zone. "This is a commitment from the time I did Khosla Ka Ghosla for Tandav Films. They took two stories from me. This is the second one," says Sahni.
Emraan Hashmi will be spending this summer in Delhi shooting this very unusual film directed by Joy Augustine who made his directorial debut with AB Corp Ltd's Tere Mere Sapne and has just completed a film based on the Mumbai train blasts for Sunil Shetty's Popcorn Entertainment.

"Take 40% Off Girls' Dresses. Playful, Pretty Fits for Summer. Save on Select Styles!".
Great, then I click on the link. It lands on a page featuring Arizona Jeans.

"So delicious! These go perfectly with a nice Steak and another fresh side veggie (I like yellow squash or Corn on the mini-cob). Yellow veggies seem to work nicely with this. However, feel free to pour the mushrooms and juices over white or wild rice. It's still plenty delicious either way."
Brooke's Portabellas
2 recipe photos
READY IN:30mins
YIELD:2 1 cap each
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 whole portabella mushroom caps
- soy sauce
- Worcestershire sauce
- Kitchen Bouquet, Liquid
- mccormick's spicy McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
- fresh minced garlic
- 2 -4 teaspoons margarine or 2 -4 teaspoons butter
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 cup water
- Take the Portabello caps, wash them, and let dry for about 10 mins or blot dry with towel. You want them dry enough to absorb all of the flavors.
- I make separate pouches with foil and toss them in the oven or straight onto the edge of the grill outside. If you do this, use 2 sheets of foil per pouch and after you've stuffed them, fold them up like a burrito. You can put it all into a baking dish though. Just make sure that the dish is small enough that the mushrooms are at least part of the way covered in liquid after they get hot. I would line the dish with foil and cover with foil as well though. You do not want the liquid to burn off.
- I do this on the stove top with great results all of the time too. So, grab a pan if you wanna. Just be sure to cover it and stir often until the Mushrooms are done to your desired tenderness.
- First, slice the mushrooms thickly, about as thick as your ring finger (beside your pinky). Put into your pouch or dish and set aside.
- Cut your onion whichever kind you like. I love Yellow with this. I use large chunks but, chop as desired. Then, top your mushrooms with it.
- Depending on how spicy you like your food, cover Mushroom and Onion with the McCormick's Seasoning. I use A LOT . I mean A L O T! :).
- You can sub. McCormick's for coarse black pepper, but it won't do it justice.
- Next, put on your garlic. I use about 1/2 of a teaspoon minced for 2 mushroom caps. It seems like a lot but, keep in mind, that it has to "stand up" to the sauces that you are about to add, which are all powerful by themselves.
- In a bowl, mix 10 shakes of Soy sauce ( use low sodium soy sauce or reduce the amount if you aren't a salt lover), 5 shakes of Worcestershire sauce, 5 shakes of Kitchen Bouquet, and 2-4 tablespoons of margarine or butter. I use 3 teaspoons per cap. Then, add about 1/4 cup of water and microwave until melted.
- Stir well and pour mixture over the mushrooms, cover with foil or close pouches, and bake in the oven for about 15-20 mins at 350°F If you like them firmer, go 10 or 15.
- If you like wetter and softer like me, go 20.
- *If you do foil pouches on the grill, check them every 5 minutes or they will shrivel into nothing!
- *Everyone in my house is ADDICTED to these and we never EVER grill without them. So, let me know if you like them too. =).
- If you don't like them MY way, after you try it, experiment with adding more or less of any item to find your perfect flavor. Though I've never seen anyone scrape this to the side of the plate. hehehee.

Movement of nutrients from land to stream to lake; changes due to anthropogenic influences; controls of ecological processes by nutrients and by predation. The Goal of the Arctic LTER Project is to understand how tundra, streams and lakes function in the Arctic and to predict how they respond to changes including climate change. The ecosystems of the foothills of the North Slope of Alaska are not in an equilibrium state but are changing in response to exploitation of the native populations of top predator fishes and other animals and perhaps even in response to a warming climate in the Arctic. Other changes due to development of energy resources and global climate change are likely. Predictions of ecological change based upon understanding of the function of terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems are needed. To reach this objective the project will:

One way to help, which can be useful to authors, other comaintainers and everyone interested in the module(s) is to have a publicly hosted version control repository.

This way, you have a trunk, which is the latest pre-release version of your module; tags trees for your released versions and branches trees for development and major projects. I recommend granting read access to all, but restricting commits to known users via htpasswd.

I have recently set one up for my CPAN modules - mine and comaint. I also have some vapourware modules in there. I am willing to include other modules in there, by request.

[http://www.ivorw.com/svn/cpan]

If any monks want to use it, drop me a /msg.

You can always set up an [SVK] mirror for developing modules and patches locally - this is recommended.

27,000 people sue Apple over 'Locationgate'
This lawsuit has taken extreme to a whole new level. About 27,000 people in South Korea have taken Apple to court for roughly 25 million dollars over privacy concerns. These fines in South Korea are nothing new to Apple, it has previously been fined by the South Korean government for an "astounding" $3,000 over the same scandal.
'Locationgate' was when Apple stored users location for about 3-4 weeks in-order to get location data faster. This data was stored in an un-encrypted file that could be accessed by plugging an iPhone or 3G iPad into a computer running special software. The data was even stored when Location Services were disabled. Apple later addressed this issue, and it has since been put to rest.
A South Korean lawyer has since reviewed the telecommunications laws and has viewed 'Locationgate' as illegal, even though the data was only stored locally on the phone. Apple has since declined to comment on the situation.
It will be very interesting to see how this pans out. Will Apple have to pay the 25 million, or will people be out of their million won? Do you think the South Korean court will allow this case to go through, or do you think that Apple will avoid this case? Let us know in the comments or by sending me a tweet.

Does Prinzmetal angina ever go away?
Does Prinzmetal angina ever go away? I take 2.5 mg of amlodipine and my ankles still swell. Not as bad as before when I took a larger dose, but still some swelling. I have been taking this for about 10 years now. I was wondering if I could ever get off of it if the Prinzmetal angina should go away. Thanks.

Yes, it can go away with aging. In the meantime, a diuretic may be helpful for the swelling secondary to amlodipine. Check with your physician who prescribed it for you.

Florence and Tuscany have always played an important role in the field of textile and fashion.
Since the Middle Ages the high quality of Florentine textiles was known all over Europe, and the clothing of the Florentine aristocracy and wealthy merchants tended to be elaborate and changed according to the dictates of the time.
It is here, in Florence, that the history of Italian fashion begins, the so called "Made in Italy" as a result of local tradition and the creativity of great minds and talents.
This tour, lead by an expert guide, will open the doors to this fascinating world to you and your curiosity and love of the unique Italian style.
Your tour begins with an exploration of the Costume Gallery, the first state-operated museum dedicated entirely to study and preservation of costumes, accessories, and fabrics.
Today, the museum storage rooms preserve a collection of more than 6,000 items, including ancient and modern garments, accessories, and costumes for the theater and the cinema of great documentary value.
It is a unique gallery whose center is the famous Medici collection, among the world's oldest, made up of the burial clothes worn by Cosimo I Grand Duke of Tuscany, his wife Eleonora de Toledo, and their son Don Garzia, all restored in the museum's own restoration shops.
A significant place is also reserved for contemporary costume, with selected nuclei representing the greatest protagonists of international high fashion and prêt-à-porter, such as Worth, Poiret, Vionnet, Capucci, Missoni, Valentino, Pucci, Ferrè, and Yves Saint Laurent, to name only a few.
Your tour will then continue to the Ferragamo Museum. Its famous footwear collection documents the entire span of Salvatore Ferragamo's career, from his return to Italy in 1927 to 1960, the year he died. It highlights his technical and artistic skills which made a fundamental contribution to the growth and establishment of "Made in Italy." The items on display are periodically selected from the over 10,000 models in the museum's archives and featured in biennial exhibitions that present different themes through Ferragamo shoes.
The Ferragamo footwear collection is also enriched by footwear production after the death of Salvatore Ferragamo, down to the present day. Every year, in fact, a number of models suitably representative of the season are entered in the Salvatore Ferragamo Archives which the museum draws on for its exhibitions, telling a century of history through footwear.
Your tour culminates with a visit to the recently opened Gucci Museum, which presents a permanent exhibition from its rich and culturally significant archive, preserved and amplified throughout the years, juxtaposed with contemporary art installations.
