A Kearny Mesa car dealership was evacuated Wednesday morning after a suspicious object that turned out to contain marijuana was brought to the business by a customer.
A man on his way to Mercedes-Benz of San Diego on Kearny Mesa Road found the plastic pipe in the road near Convoy and Daggett streets shortly before 8:40 a.m., San Diego Fire-Rescue spokesman Maurice Luque.
He picked it up and brought it with him to the dealership where he showed it to employees, Luque said.
The object was described as a 5- to 6-inch plastic pipe with caps on each end with a magnet and some kind of box attached to it.
Employees believed it looked like a bomb and called 911, Luque said.
Explosive experts later determined the pipe was filled with marijuana and possibly another substance, Luque said.
It appears that it was being used to carry the drugs by attaching it to a car and that it fell off, the spokesman said.
Luque said that driver could have put himself and others in danger by picking up the object. He cautioned anyone who sees a device they think may be suspicious to leave it alone and call 911.

The main events of the enjoyable evening were the world premieres of "Run to You," an attractively crafted, mainly sunny-toned ensemble work set to a pleasurable collection of Steely Dan music, and the dramatic duet "Portinari." Though "Run to You" contains one edgy sequence exploring negative aspects of human relationships, "Portinari" constitutes the program's only grave offering. Parsons employs wrenching body actions and exciting pas de deux work to portray the story of Brazilian artist Candido Portinari, who painted the "War" and "Peace" murals displayed in the U.N. General Assembly Building and then died of lead poisoning from the paints he used. But despite the sad subject matter, the dance evokes more tenderness and caring than grief.
The premieres book-ended Miguel Quinones' thrilling performance of "Caught," Parsons' brilliantly conceived signature solo, in which, by performing more than 100 leaps in less than six minutes while illuminated by stroboscopic effects, the dancer appears to remain suspended in midair.
Completing the evening was a mostly fun-filled first act comprising three lively ensemble works: "The Envelope," which involves a group of black-hooded characters in dark sunglasses humorously manipulating a pesky, all-important, mysterious white envelope; "Sleep Study," built of cute abstractions of the rolls, twitches, and shifts of positions we do in our sleep; and "Mood Swing," an awkward assemblage of unflattering movements set to wonderfully jazzy music by Morton Gould.
Presented by Parsons Dance, in association with the Joyce Theater Foundation, at the Joyce Theater, 175 Eighth Ave., NYC. Jan. 26–Feb. 6. Tue. and Wed., 7:30 p.m.; Thu. and Fri., 8 p.m.; Sat., 2 and 8 p.m.; Sun. 2 and 7:30 p.m. (212) 242-0800 or www.joyce.org.

Chicago-based indie shop Tris3ct has lured another Y&R exec over to the West Loop as it's hired Chris Cancilla to take on the post of executive creative director. Cancilla's hiring follows that of former Y&R SVP, account director (on Sears) Tim Nelson, who joined Tris3ct as president back in May.
Cancilla, meanwhile, served as SVP/GCD during his nearly three-year stint at Y&R Chicago, working on Sears (including holiday campaigns and this year's "Turf Wars" spring effort) as well as Hilton Hotels, Dave & Buster's and The American Red Cross. Prior to Y&R, Cancilla spent four years at Arc Worldwide/Leo Burnett and led business wins for Visa and Capital One among others. Now as ECD at Tris3ct, which is a newly created post at the agency, Cancilla will lead creative efforts (duh), help in new business efforts and report to CCO Paul Kuzma.

Portfolio additions during the second quarter included United Fire Group (UFCS), a company based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa that writes property and casualty insurance, life insurance, and offers annuities. With a strong history of conservative underwriting, this steady performer grew its Return on Equity (ROE) 10% last year, while its stock traded at a discount to book value – considered a rare event at current valuations. Another aspect we like about this company is that its management goes out of its way to tell potential investors that, while they must report their results quarterly, they manage their company for the much longer term; music to our ears.

The chefs from this humble tin-roofed eatery nestled under a row of large tropical trees churned out a couple of unforgettable dishes for me this evening - both boasting complex, undecipherable sauces which were thick, unctuous and positively bursting with flavors. For once in my life, I simply couldn't isolate what ingredients went into each of these dishes:
- Claypot shark-meat: served bubbling hot, with pieces of sharkmeat with gelatinous skin, dried chillies, scallions, ginger and onions. There was an orange-y after-taste, and the dried chillis imparted a delayed heat effect. It was delicious!
- Braised pig's trotters: blanketed by a sticky, salt-fished flavored dark sauce.
- A stir-fried "yau mak" (Romaine lettuce) and garlic side-dish.
One tends to find hidden culinary talents in KL here in the side-streets, not just in established restaurants.

Kolle's goal is game winner
The University of Minnesota, Morris women's soccer team improved to 8-1 in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference with a fifth straight win via a shutout over Martin Luther 1-0 on Thursday afternoon.
The Cougars have not allowed a goal in over 410 minutes and have won every match this year via the shut out.
Kelsi Kolle's 37th minute goal gave the Cougars the lead.
In a match that featured just six shots on goal, all by the Cougars, it was Kolle who broke the scoreless tie thanks to an assist from Zoe Bergstrom.
Rikki Beaver got the clean sheet as the Cougars' defense did not yield a shot on goal and only two shots in the match.

WHO confirms Myanmar's first human case of bird flu
GENEVA (Reuters) - The World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday confirmed Myanmar's first human case of bird flu in a seven year-old girl who survived the disease.
The United Nations agency, in a statement, said that the girl in Shan state developed symptoms on November 21 in an area where there had been an outbreak of the H5N1 virus in poultry, and was hospitalized six days later. "She has now recovered."
Samples taken from the girl were confirmed as having the virus at a WHO laboratory in Japan after first testing positive at a laboratory in Yangon, the WHO said.

I just finished this last night. The "Bride's Tree" motifs are cross-stitched and I decided to put them on a quilted wall hanging. It's for DD#2's wedding gift (no date set yet . . . marying a German young man). Apparently it is a German tradition for the bride to have these ornaments on her tree, but I haven't found any Germans yet who have heard of it . . . I'm sure as soon as they do, they will love the idea :lol: Anyway, I'll make the label when there is a wedding date.
It's approximately 35x38".

Social Science & Medicine, 1998, vol. 47, issue 11, 1825-1840
Objective: To review the literature on comparisons between different methods of obtaining informed consent for clinical trials. Design: Eight hundred and twelve articles were traced, in the process of conducting a systematic review of the ethics of clinical trials, by searching a number of sources: bibliographic databases (Medline, Psychlit and BIDS science and social science indices), hand searches, personal contacts, an original collection and a systematic follow-up of reference lists. Fourteen research reports were found which provided comparative data on different methods of obtaining informed consent. Eleven of these used a randomised design. Studies were classified according to three outcome measures (anxiety, consent rate and understanding). Results: The results of the various studies suggest that giving people more information and more time to reflect tends to be associated with a lower consent rate. There seems to be an optimal level of information about side-effects such that patients are not overburdened by detail, while grasping the most important risks. More information in general is associated with greater awareness of the research nature of the trial, voluntariness of participation, right to withdraw and (available) alternative treatments. This result does not, however, extend to explanations of the concept of randomisation on which the literature is contradictory -- sometimes more information is associated with increased understanding of the concept and sometimes it is not. Although divulging less information seems to be associated with less anxiety, there is evidence of an interaction with knowledge -- high levels of knowledge are significantly associated with less anxiety, irrespective of consent method. The more that patients know before they are invited to participate in a trial, the better equipped they are to cope with the informed consent procedure. Conclusion: There is some evidence to suggest that there is an optimal amount of information which enhances patient understanding and which might, in turn, reduce anxiety. However, the studies were not altogether conclusive. More work needs to be carried out, especially on public understanding of science and on how different ways of explaining scientific concepts affect that understanding.

Anyone have any suggestions? Similar experiences? What did you do when you switched over from WBFS to Fat32? Reeeeeeeeeeeeady............. GO!
I have a 500gb WD passport I am using for my Wii.
rough estimates:
WBFS - 270 gb
Fat32 - 30 gb
I have all my Wii games on WBFS obviously but I would like to switch everything over to Fat32 to make it easier as I hear this is the way to go now. I have all my emulators and roms on an SD card right now and would like to switch those over to the Fat32 partition too.
My question is.. what is the best way to do this? I have looked into PsychBlades "wbfs2fat" program but am having some trouble getting it to work. My WBFS drive may be corrupt or games are missing files or something, idk. Anyone else have this issue in the past? What did you do? I just would like to run everything off Fat32 and keep a small partition for NTFS for music, movies etc.
Also, retro emulation can be run through loaders now? (Wiiflow and USB Loader GX) <-- This is my goal to do this as well.
Thank you for all helpful responses as always. Cheers!
Anyone have any suggestions? Similar experiences? What did you do when you switched over from WBFS to Fat32? Reeeeeeeeeeeeady............. GO!
I extracted all my games back to ISOs, reformatted and then used Wii Backup Manager to add them to the new FAT32. It was a little time consuming but it worked.Originally Posted by NewFang
Thank you SNES_Master.
I was able to finally run "wbfs2fat" after PsyBlade tailored it a bit to fit my needs. Great program, I suggest anyone in my position looks into it.
WBFS manager should work if your HD is fomatted to wbfs. Are you loading the correct drive in WFBS Manager? (You must select the drive and press load in wbfs manager.)
Since you've only loaded one game you could just re-format the drive with a Partition manager program and start over. Or you could use wbfs2fat, the link is here: wbfs2fat.py | GBAtemp.net -> The Free Independent Video Game Community: 3DS, NDS, Wii, GBA, PSP, Hacking, Dingoo, PS3, Xbox 360... either one would do I suppose.
Hope that helps.

Updated: Tuesday, 9:32 a.m.
A month before the start of spring training, the Phillies are still building roster depth. The club signed veteran infielder Ronny Cedeno to a minor-league contract on Monday (see story), and more reinforcements could be on the way as club officials sift through the lot of remaining free agents.
"We're looking to add pitching depth in the bullpen and rotation, still trolling," GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "They'd likely be non-roster guys."
Two pitchers to keep an eye on are Ryan Madson and Chad Gaudin. Madson, of course, was a stalwart in the Phillies' bullpen during the club's run of five straight NL East titles from 2007-2011. He departed via free agency after the 2011 season, but did not pitch in 2012 or 2013 because of an elbow injury. The Phillies have kept tabs on the 33-year-old right-hander this winter and haven't ruled out bringing him to spring training for a look.
Gaudin, who turns 31 in March, went to camp as a non-roster player with the Giants last season and ended up pitching to a 3.06 ERA in 97 innings while making 12 starts and 18 relief appearances. His versatility could be intriguing to the Phils.
Amaro is also looking to add outfield depth and a left-handed hitter -- that might end up being the same guy -- to compete for a bench job.
"There are still some guys we're talking to," he said.
The Phils have considered Lyle Overbay as a possible left-handed bat, though he may not be ideal because he is a first baseman. Overbay hit 14 home runs in 445 at-bats while filling in at first base for the Yankees last season.
Cedeno has played for six teams and was a regular at shortstop for the Cubs in 2006 and the Pirates in 2010. Much like non-roster player Yuniesky Betancourt last spring, he will push Freddy Galvis and Kevin Frandsen for work as a utility infielder. Reid Brignac, another non-roster player, will also be in the infield mix.
"He gives us more depth in the middle infield," Amaro said of Cedeno. "The whole point of bringing him in is if we have an injury or a problem, we have a veteran guy. He'll fight it out for a spot. We're not giving any jobs away. He's got extensive major-league experience. Hopefully he'll push guys."

I bought a DT2F Prestige line from Cabelas on sale to go with my Redington CT 2wt. I had also bought one of those cheap reels from China off of Amazon figuring that I'd probably never need to use the drag on my 2wt set up.
Anyway, the line doesn't quite fit on the reel, even just using a couple of feet of backing so I've got something to tie it to.
I figure I've got a few options:
1) I could cut off about 10 ft from the tail end of the line, effectively ruining the rear taper, but leaving me with a functional 70' line. This line was pretty cheap, so I wouldn't feel too bad about it (might even order a backup).
2) I could cut the line in half, leaving me with two 40-41' lines, figuring that with a 2wt I'll probably never have 40' of line in the air anyway... though it might be cutting it a little close.
3) Just buy another inexpensive reel, maybe an Okuma SLV or whatever I can find used.
4) Switch my 4wt line from my Orvis BBS II to my Teton Tioga, which I'm not currently using. I'd then use the BBS on the 2wt since it's much lighter than the Teton. The problem with this is that my 4wts are the rods I use most, and I really prefer the feel, sound and balance of the BBS with my 4wts (which was why I switched from the Teton in the first place).

San Antonio, Texas alternative rockers NOTHING MORE recently played an acoustic set in the studios of Nashville's Rock Radio 102.9 The Buzz. You can now watch video footage of the performance below.NOTHING MORE's first single, "This Is The Time (Ballast)", has just hit No. 1 on the rock radio chart, nearly two months after climbing into the Top Five. Frontman Jonny Hawkins told The Pulse Of Radio that he hopes the themes of the song and the band's self-titled debut album are resonating with listeners. "I hope that it's an encouragement to others out there that can listen to the record and if any of it, just really the experiences, translate to other people and they recognize that maybe they're going through something similar or they can feel that same pain, that there is a way through it and there's calmer waters ahead if you stick with it and remind yourself that things will be all right and just stay the course," he said. "So I hope it's encouraging." NOTHING MORE's self-titled debut album sold around 8,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 33 on The Billboard 200 chart. The record arrived in stores on June 24 via Eleven Seven Music. The band's current tour launched on August 5 in Kansas City and wraps up on September 12 in Portland, Oregon. NOTHING MORE will next join FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, VOLBEAT and HELLYEAH on a major trek beginning September 16 in Salt Lake City.

A DRIVE to accelerate revolutionary work on industrial emissions has moved a step forward.
Tees Valley Unlimited local enterprise partnership (TVU) has appointed Pale Blue Dot Energy as co-ordinator for its Teesside Industrial Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) project.
The CCS scheme aims to galvanise the region as a pioneer in CCS, which could use energy from Tees Valley's industries to heat businesses, homes, hospitals and council buildings, and store carbon from plants under the North Sea.
Loading article content
If a team of engineers can prove it works, bosses say it will be the first of its kind in the UK, and one of only a handful worldwide.
Pale Blue Dot Energy, which has extensive experience of working on CCS projects, will build a business case for developing an industrial network on Teesside.
It will design how carbon will be captured, initially from four Teesside plants, determine the best location for carbon storage, and establish how gas will be transported for storage.
Stephen Catchpole, TVU managing director, said: "This is a significant step forward in our ambitions to create a low carbon industrial cluster in Tees Valley.
"CCS will provide a vital extra reason for chemical and industrial companies to invest in Tees Valley and will help push the area ahead of the global and European game."
Ian Phillips, project manager at Pale Blue Dot, added: "We are delighted to be working on such a visionary initiative.
"Decarbonising our industrial emissions is every bit as important as reducing emissions from power generation, and has been a much-neglected area in the low-carbon debate."

TAMPA, Fla. - The Tampa Bay Lightning understand how important it is to rebound from their Game 1 loss in the Stanley Cup finals.

Just don't try to convince coach John Tortorella that his team has to win Game 2 tonight to have a realistic shot at capturing the NHL's biggest prize.
"I don't like that 'must win,'" Tortorella said Wednesday. "What happens if something doesn't happen the right way for us tomorrow, and what do I come back to my team with?"
The Lightning lost the opener of the best-of-seven series 4-1 to the Calgary Flames, hardly resembling the team that breezed through the first two rounds of the playoffs before outlasting the Philadelphia Flyers in a tough seven-game Eastern Conference final.
The offense sputtered and the defense - an underrated aspect of Tampa Bay's success this season - faltered, too.
Goalie Nikolai Khabibulin allowed four goals in just 19 shots, and the speedy Flames kept the defenseman in front of him on their heels much of the night.
"To me, Calgary played the way they played to get here. We didn't," Tortorella said, adding the message he would deliver to players at practice was simple: Move on.
"We have two weeks to play and you can't get all convoluted and worried about what just happened to you. You have got to figure out a response. ... It's not being down in a ditch when you lose, and it's not being 10 feet tall when you win. It's keeping an even keel and finding a way to approach the next day."

There's just no doubt about it, Microsoft hit a major, major home run with the release of SQL Server 2005 and .Net 2.0. One of the great new features is the ability to create stored procedures in any .Net language and run that code as a stored procedure from SQL Server 2005.
My first exposure to this technique was back in January, and back then I was more focused on trying to accomplish recursion from a user defined function than on all the steps necessary to deploy the code. I read Microsoft's technical docs on the usage of MSIL from SQL Server 2005, which boils down as follows:
Or, if you have Visual Studio 2005, you can follow these steps:
This last step actually does the work of steps 2 through 4 above, even if you're SQL Server is managed by a hosting provider! You simply need an account with the db_ddladmin permission enabled, which you should have for deploying schema and stored proc changes anyways.
I am currently working on several side projects that will use C# stored procs and as they mature I'll post my findings on things like performance and scalability as I can easily replicate some of them in T-SQL and see which scenarios favor each technology.
I've done some more performance testing with CLR stored procs versus TSQL Procs. Be sure to go read the results, they are stunning.

This article contains information to help you improve the performance of a computer when you play any one of the games that is listed in the "Applies to" section.
These are common symptoms of poor game performance:
These are common symptoms of poor game performance:
- Intermittent playback of video clips
- Slow video frame rates
- Choppy game play
- Choppy or poor-quality video display
- Distorted audio playback
Steps to resolve the problem
Method 1: Analyze the computer componentsSome games can determine the performance capability of your computer and adjust to that level as required. However, if you manually adjust the game settings to a level that your video card and your processor cannot handle, you will experience degraded performance of the game.
We recommend that you make any game adjustments one at a time to determine whether each change makes any difference. To make adjustments, open the game, click Settings (display), and then turn on or turn off a setting.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 include a tool that is named "Performance Information and Tools." This tool lists your Windows Experience Index base score on that computer. This score indicates the performance and overall capability of your computer hardware.
To view the base score, follow these steps:
- Click Start , click Control Panel, click System and Maintenance, and then click Performance Information and Tools.
- View the Windows Experience Index base score and subscores for your computer. If you have recently upgraded your hardware and if you want to determine whether your score has changed, click Update my score. If you don't see subscores and a base score, click Score this computer.
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/Help/f59082f4-6385-4a61-ba7e-2de9625a780a1033.mspx#EBEIf the problem persists, go to Method 2.
Method 2: Restart the computer by using a clean startupWhen you start Microsoft Windows, other software may start automatically together with the operating system. These programs and services can include antivirus and system utilities that may interfere with the game. When you perform a clean startup, you prevent these programs from starting automatically.
You must be logged on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to complete this procedure. If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
To view detailed steps to perform a clean startup, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

- Click Start , type %temp% in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
- On the Edit menu, click Select All.
- On the File menu, click Delete.
- Click Yes.
- Test the game.
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\TempIf the problem persists, go to Method 3.

Like it or not, the fact of Gordon Brown's speech on liberty is probably more important right now than any particular thing that the speech contained or omitted. For this was the start of the autumn comeback, the first serious step in the process of rebuilding Gordon Brown as a different and better Labour leader than his predecessor following Labour's conference season debacle and the aborted autumn election.
As it happens, the first half of the speech was immensely impressive - the sort of speech that no Labour leader since Gaitskell could have made - a well-argued and well-grounded case for honouring, preserving and extending the traditions of British liberty, law and tolerance that stretch from the 17th century to the present. The second half was more guarded, a shopping list of sometimes useful and sometimes dubious measures, many of which have already been signalled in previous speeches and some of which - the bill of rights consultation in particular - provoke many more questions than answers.
But politics was paramount today, not policy. The political purpose of the speech was overwhelmingly to move beyond the embarrassments of the recent past to tell liberal Britain that Brown still continues to hear its concerns. It was a speech to reconnect with Guardian and Independent readers. The political problem is that this is the same pitch Brown made in the summer, in his brief prelapsarian honeymoon phase. But that was then and this is now. The voters know things about Brown today that they didn't know (or were prepared to overlook) in the summer. So the question today is whether they will accept his offer a second time round. My guess is that they will, but more warily. Brown is on probation with liberal Britain. Liberal Britain wants to trust Brown. But Brown still has much to do to close the deal.

Routes / Re: Bicycle Across New Jersey ?« on: September 08, 2011, 04:39:05 pm »
I used to go further north to Chester and thought it was good there too but since my brother moved to PA a decade ago, I haven't really bike it so I don't know conditions. Same thing for the sourthern leg. My memory is that the road is decent. I will find out the 15 or so miles north of Hammonton in a couple weeks on my way to FL but might not be able to update here.
Unless you really want 206, I'd switch over to County (?) 601 from S Hillsborough to Princeton. You'll end up at a light at 206 after it turns in Princeton. 601 shoulders are not as good but unless you're doing this in rush hour, it has much less traffic. The continual noise on 206 has started to bother me. And rush hour seems to start around 3:30.
Note that a couple miles further, where 206 and 130 meet, it will be a little tricky and busy but once they split again a little later, 206 quickly becomes better.
I have camped in Atsion. My recollection is that it is 10-15. Has water and showers.

You have not had food out of a truck until you have had Aracan the Roaming Kitchen!! I have had truck food before, but never like this. This is gourmet food from the most unusual kitchen ever. After having the ruck come to my office a few times for small office lunches, I decided to put them to a test, and hire them for a corporate get together. They made a dinner for my entire company out of the back of that truck and you would have thought I had come from a 5 star kitchen. If you are looking for a dining experience check them out it is unreal!

You have to file a motion to bifurcate. It requires a little legal research and a court appearance. It doesn't require an attorney, but having one makes life much easier.

Study: HVAC control market poised for growth
The HVAC market is mature and stable, increasing the need for controls and BAS.
The HVAC market, like nearly all other markets, has been significantly impacted by the economic turmoil that materialized in 2008 and accelerated through the first half of 2009, according to the ARC Advisory Group . The HVAC market enjoyed a strong 2007 and early in 2008 the market looked like it was going to enjoy another strong year, but the collapse of the U.S. housing market and subsequent chain reaction of events made for a very difficult business climate for the remainder of 2008 and into 2009.
The HVAC controls industry is in the middle of a very interesting transition. The market seems to be mature and stable - the seven largest suppliers account for more than four-fifths of all sales. "However, fundamental changes taking place in the market, such as the need for enterprise visibility, integration of HVAC systems with other building automation systems, increasing use of analytics in HVAC control, energy management initiatives, and the impact of web enabled systems and cloud computing make this dynamic market ripe for innovation," according to ARC Research Analyst Joseph Gillespie, the principal author of ARC's " HVAC Control Systems Worldwide Outlook ."

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Party Recap
I had a great time putting this party together for my daughter's 9th Birthday. At first I was a little concerned because the majority of cupcake decorations/items are for 1 and 2 year old children, but to my surprise I found a lot of items to make her party a huge succes..and not to mention making some of the decorations with my cricut made it even more special =o)
Party Highlights
Cupcakes / Cupcake Cake Pops
Activities / Games
1. Decorate Chef Hats 2. Balance a cupcake on a plastic knife the longest 3. Decorate a cupcake blindfolded the fastest
Best Moment
Going through the pictures and seeing my daughter and one of her best friends with the biggest smiles I have ever seen on their faces..literally laughing out loud!!
What People Ate
We kept the food simple (pizza and salad) being that there was over 140 cupcakes and I knew that they would also be eaten in addition to decorating =o)
What People Drank
Variety of 2 liters (lemonade, orange soda, etc.)
Most Touching Moment
When my daughter told me Thank You for an awesome party =o)
Funniest Moment
When they were playing the balancing a cupcake game and it came down to the final two girls...they were so good at it I had to keep improvising...first they had to close their eyes and then they had to stand on one foot..needless to say after awhile I declared them both winners and gave them each a prize.

Begin with the end in mind
I read Stephen Covey's classic book, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," the year it was first published, in 1989. It since has become a business classic for cause. Business speak has adopted Mr. Covey's habits as customary terms: be proactive, begin with the end in mind; think win-win.
I was 31 when I first read The Seven Habits. Twenty-five years later, my understanding of the second habit, Begin with the End in Mind, has morphed somewhat. In 1989 I had a grandparent; today I am a grandparent. As a baby boomer, I am beginning to see the end with more clarity. Most baby boomers can relate to this changing mindset caused by time.
There are millions of privately owned businesses that, over the next 15 years, will either be sold, transferred to a younger generation of family members, or closed with their assets liquidated. If you are a baby boomer who owns a business, you are beginning to wonder where you and your relationship to your business will be in the next 10 or 15 years. If you aren't asking these questions you should.
You have invested your blood, sweat and tears in your business. Ask yourself that nagging and perpetual question, "Have I only created myself a job or have I built a self sustaining business with value?"
For most business owners one of life's greatest mysteries is how much their business is worth. If as an owner you have only created yourself a job, then your business's value will be closer to the value of its tangible assets less its debt. If you have built a business sustainable without your constant presence, your business's value will be greater than the value of its tangible assets. This intangible value is referred to as goodwill.
Most business owners have a general concept of what goodwill is but if asked to define goodwill, most would have a difficult time doing so. Here is the definition from the International Glossary of Business Valuation Terms:
Goodwill – that intangible asset arising as a result of name, reputation, customer loyalty, location, products, and similar factors separately identified.
Now that explains goodwill in a way that all the word understands! But just in case, let me offer my explanation. Goodwill is all the intelligent actions a business's management engages that adds to the company's cash flow. A trained workforce with low employee turnover adds to the value of goodwill. Well thought out systems and processes that make a company's operations efficient adds to the value of goodwill. The company's culture adds to goodwill. Even a company's accounting and financial reporting systems that provides timely and accurate financial information adds to the value of the business's goodwill.
If in the end a business owner hopes to be rewarded for the investment of his life in his business, if he hopes to get a big payday when the company's ownership is transferred in the future, that payday will be because of the value of that intangible asset called goodwill.
A business owner's big pay day isn't just dependent on the creation of goodwill. Goodwill must be transferrable to a new owner with the other business assets. If a business owner is so jealous of the business's proprietary knowledge or he is paranoid of losing control of the company's operations because "nobody can manage the business as well as he can", then trouble looms for the continuation of the business when the owners leaves. And all owners eventually leave.
The basic secret of creating goodwill that can transferred is in developing a management structure with a trained workforce that includes written documentation of the company's operating policies and procedures. And that is where most privately owned businesses fail. They never commit to written documentation. Admittedly this is a bit over simplified. Documentation of inadequate processes or inefficient procedures is not profitable. But the writing process to document polices and procedures sometimes begets discovery of inefficiencies that can be corrected. Why? Because writing requires analysis and thought.
The great thing about owning a business is that you get to control what the business does. As a business owner, you have the power! You have the power to create value or destroy value.
All business owners I know that have ever bought or started a business did so with the intent of making money. Over the years many owners have let day to day operations replace the focus of building the business which has stunted the growth of income and cash flows.
But if you are at the stage in life where you can see your end in your mind, and if you need or want a big payday as you transition out of your business, you might need to refocus on building the value of your business. The payoff can be huge.

Bill --
How did you machine the hole for the joystick and the pot adjustment slides? The joystick opening is about 1.5" in diameter and the adjustment slides are something like only 4mm wide. I'm figuring a nibbler and maybe a Dremel tool but I thought I'd ask before I started hacking at it.
For the switch holes I purchased a 1/2" hole punch so I'll get some nice clean holes with that.
While I haven't built a replica JS-1 yet, I have only my original JS-1, I use my dremel for many projects such as this. And with the right cutting wheel you can get the job done. They have cutting wheels which are thicker, I have 1/8". This would help in cutting a slot for the adjustment trimmers. You might have to improvise on the thickness of the slot if the cutting wheel doesn't match the trimmer knob by cutting slots incrementally till it's the right width. And use the radius of the cutting wheel to square off each end of the slot so it doesn't have that tapered look. You might need the flex shaft extension to cut the slot for the X trimmer since the distance from the edge can be longer than the dremel shaft.
As for the joystick hole, don't they have a hole punch big enough for that ?
That would be the quickest way out.

The Winners of the NFS World Holiday Greetings Card Contest are…Posted on January 1, 2011
With so many entries into this contest it took Eduardo and Jude quite a while to review the entries and pick the winners. With any further ado the winners are:
The overall winner is Richard
His card had a soft, magical vibe that stood out nicely. Nice graphic treatment with the border and some Photoshop additions to the scene made this a very festive and unique card.
The best holiday greetings card that used the 'Snowflake' Edition Porsche 911 Turbo and therefore the winner is Andrei xD
Snowflake car in front of Little Italy's Merry Christmas sign AND a group shot! Nice depth of field!
Congratulations to the winners of the Need for Speed World Holiday Greetings Card contest!
There were so many great entries and it was really difficult for Ed & Jude to pick the winners. Some of the entries were so good that they wanted to make sure to give some honorable mentions for the following entries:
Tweaked the contrast, added some nice embellishments at the bottom and lots of bright lights!
Some nice text added in perspective to match the scene. Nice and bold.
Very original presentation!
Some really great shots! Tons of photos!
Another one that made us laugh out loud. Loved the little touches. The presents next to the snow blower as well as the guy holding the machine. And the TREE crossing sign over on the left. Lots of humor and effort.
Great action and some hot bloom! Loved the type treatment for its festive nature.
We LOVED the vintage look. One of our favorites.
Lots of great images, cool light streaks and bold text. Very well done!
This had to get a shout out just because someone put Drew on the side of their car!! How or why he did this, I have no idea, but we got a good laugh.
We liked the simplicity of it with a very effective type treatment. Clean graphic design! Not as festive as the others, but it did catch our eye.
Throwback to Carbon and Underground 2. I feel like the car is glowing!
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Holiday Greetings Card contest!

Malala symbol of courage, confidence, says Pak Minister
Regretting the attack on teenage rights activist Malala Yousafzai, Pakistans Minister of Education and Training Sardar Shahjehan Yousaf on Friday described her as a symbol of courage and confidence who stood up for girls education and said she would be back soon.
The 15-year-old girl, who was shot in the head by Taliban for leading a campaign for girls education, is currently recuperating at a hospital in Birmingham, England.
Malala has come out of dark time where school was shut...the girl stood up for education. She came out. She has shown more courage for the girls of my country and for the world. She is a symbol for courage, confidence, Mr. Yousaf said.
Observing that terrorism remains a big challenge for his country, he said the incident (attack on her) was unfortunate and in our country and internationally we regret what happened. We are fighting against terror.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the E-9 education conference in New Delhi, he said Pakistan needs quality teacher training and good schools as it strives to attain E-9s mandate of education for all, but lamented that our budget goes to defence because of terrorism activities.
Malala, he said, is recovering very well and will come back to the country soon.
E-9 represents the nine most populous countries in the world, home to not only more than 60 per cent of the global population, but also to more than 70 per cent of the worlds adult illiterates, of whom about two-thirds are women and girls.
One of the goals of the forum is education for all by 2015.
Speaking at the conference, Minister of State for HRD Shashi Tharoor felt the goal of education for all cannot be achieved globally if they are not achieved by E-9 countries.
He, however, noted that some countries may face greater challenges than others in meeting the education for all goals by the 2015 target date, and that the quality problem is more acute in the developing world.
Now that we are only three years away from the 2015 deadline, it is imperative that we scale up our efforts in a final attempt to reach the EFA goals, he said.
But at the same time, the E 9 countries should also have to start thinking of the future agenda, i.e. the agenda beyond 2015, he said.
While it is important to make an analysis of where we are in 2012, he said that it was necessary to examine what are the critical factors which affect our efforts in reaching the EFA goals.

MARTIN BRANCH (Wise County). Martin Branch rises just southeast of the city limits of Decatur in central Wise County (at 33°14' N, 97°35' W). Intermittent in its upper reaches, the stream runs southwest for eight miles. It flows through flat to rolling land surfaced by deep, fine sandy loams that support a hardwood forest. For most of the county's history the Martin Branch area has been used as range and cropland. Martin Branch joins the West Fork of the Trinity River one mile east of Paradise (at 33°09' N, 97°39' W).

GRANDPARENTS Susan and Bernard Zawilinski weren't dreaming of a damp Christmas when they moved into their new council bungalow.
But the couple has just spent the festive season in their mouldy home after complaining Oxford City Council failed to act on their complaints.
Now the damp has turned black mould, spores are coming off the walls and Mrs Zawilinski said she felt unable to make herself feel at home.
She said: "It's horrible. We go to sleep knowing we've got these little spores everywhere and we're breathing them in.
"I can't do anything in here, I can't make it nice, it's affected every room. We came here for a better life, for health reasons, but it's a nightmare."
Mr and Mrs Zawilinski, both 60, moved in to the bungalow in Three Fields Road, Headington, in September after health problems forced them out of their third-floor flat in Barton.
Mrs Zawilinski has problems with her knees and was struggling with the stairs at their old flat, so a new start was on the cards.
But Mrs Zawilinski, a carer, said: "People kept saying to me it was damp and that people hadn't wanted to live there in the past because of the problems.
"When the guy came in to put our carpets down he told us it was damp behind the skirting boards. We told the council and they said they would come and deal with it.
"They found out there was a leak coming from the bath, so they eventually sorted that out and gave us a dehumidifier for a month, but it had all started coming through the ceiling and the walls."
She said the council had promised to sort out the problem and clean the black mould off their walls and ceilings in October, but nothing had been done.
The couple's son Karl accused the council of hypocrisy after stories were published about the authority punishing private landlords for the state of their properties.
He said:"It is disappointing to see that the council are taking independent landlords to court but are not looking after their own tenants and setting a good example.
"The damp is still spreading, the front and rear doors are more difficult to close, the damp is now present around the rear windows and bedroom ceiling.
"This has been going on for a couple of months now, the damp has turned black, the spores are falling onto the floor."
City council executive member for housing Scott Seamons said: "There are problems with mould in some of our properties due to their age and design, and in some cases poor upkeep by previous tenants.
"This does seem like a particularly bad example and I will ensure officers look at the problem again."
Like a private landlord, the council is responsible for the upkeep of the buildings it owns, unless the damage is the fault of the tenant. In some cases, tenants get permission to carry out their own repairs, but this can often mean they have to take the responsibility and the blame for further problems.

The scheduling of these additional trials marks an important milestone in the federal litigation.
New York, New York (PRWEB) December 13, 2012
Trials involving transvaginal mesh lawsuits against three manufacturers currently pending in U.S. District Court, Southern District of West Virginia, will begin next December, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. According to court documents, during a Status Conference held on December 6, 2012, the Court determined that the first trial in In re: American Medical Systems, Inc., Pelvic Repair Systems Products Liability Litigation ("MDL No. 2325") will begin on December 3, 2013. That proceeding will be followed by the first trials in In re: Ethicon, Inc., Pelvic Repair Systems Products Liability Litigation ("MDL No. 2327") and In re: Boston Scientific Corp., Pelvic Repair Systems Products Liability Litigation ("MDL No. 2326), respectively.*
U.S. District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin, who is overseeing the federal transvaginal mesh litigation, had previously ordered that the first trial in In re: C.R. Bard, Inc., Pelvic Repair Systems Products Liability Litigation ("MDL No. 2187") would begin in February 2013.
"The scheduling of these additional trials marks an important milestone in the federal litigation," says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing plaintiffs in transvaginal mesh lawsuits. Bernstein Liebhard LLP partner, Jeffrey Grand, is serving on the Plaintiffs' Steering Committees in all four of the federal litigations.
Transvaginal Mesh Injuries
Lawsuits pending in the federal litigation allege pelvic mesh devices manufactured by American Medical Systems, C.R. Bard, Ethicon and Boston Scientific caused women to suffer a number of serious complications, including mesh erosion, pain, scarring, and infection. In July 2011, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) warned that there had been a five-fold increase in reports of serious transvaginal mesh injuries. The FDA also modified its previous position on the frequency of such complications, stating in the alert that injuries associated with the use of pelvic mesh in the transvaginal repair of pelvic organ prolapse were not rare.**
Since the FDA advisory, a growing number of women have filed lawsuits in state and federal courts alleging they experienced painful and life-changing injuries following implantation of vaginal mesh to treat pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. In addition to his work on the federal transvaginal mesh litigation, Bernstein Liebhard LLP partner Jeffrey Grand is also serving as Co-Liaison Counsel in two consolidated proceedings underway in New Jersey Superior Court ( In re: Pelvic Mesh Litigation/Bard, No. L-6339-10, and In re: Pelvic Mesh/Gynecare Litigation, No. 6341-10).
Women who suffered complications following implantation of transvaginal mesh may be entitled to compensation for their medical bills, pain and suffering, and other injuries. Bernstein Liebhard LLP is offering free transvaginal mesh lawsuit evaluations to alleged victims of these devices. A wealth of information regarding the firm's involvement with the ongoing pelvic mesh litigation can be found at Bernstein Liebhard's website, or call 1-877-779-1414 today.

Why, I have no idea.
Washington (CNN) – Vice President Joe Biden and officials on his gun violence committee held an unannounced meeting Wednesday evening with a group of 12 national faith leaders.
One theme brought up by several participants was the "moral tragedy" reflected in the gun violence the nation has seen over the past several months.
According to Rev. Michael McBride, one of the attendees, the vice president talked about the moral imperative to take action.
"He was asking the faith community to use the power of our moral voices and persuasion" to help find common sense solutions, McBride said.
McBride heads PICO National Network's Lifelines to Healing Campaign, a faith-based effort to reduce gun violence focused on inner cities. The acronym stands for People Improving Communities through Organizing.

Israel and the Palestinians were on the verge of a deal to extend US-backed peace talks, Israeli media have reported, with a deal to free jailed Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard close to being finalised.
The deal, which could be finalised within "a few days", would see a final batch of Palestinian prisoners released in return for the US freeing Pollard, Channel 2 TV said.
It cited "sources in Washington" as saying that "the parties are to sign an agreement to extend negotiations beyond (their deadline of) 29 April."
"According to the source, the agreement will include the release of Palestinian prisoners, including Arab-Israelis, in exchange for the release of Jewish American spy Jonathan Pollard," the report said.
The release of the spy was not part of the initial conditions for the talks for the talks.
US intelligence agencies have long opposed any early release of Pollard, who pleaded guilty in 1987 to charges of spying for Israel and US officials said no decision on his release has yet been made.
Pollard, a US citizen who was granted Israeli citizenship in 1995, is due for parole next year.
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators were meeting in US-mediated discussions to try to break a stalemate in the crisis-hit peace talks, a Palestinian official said.
The Palestinians were pushing for the release of a final batch of prisoners, the official said, a commitment Israel reneged on at the end of March in a move which sparked the latest impasse.
An Israeli official told AFP on condition of anonymity that "Israel wants to return to talks and overcome the current crisis".
Israel refused to release 26 long-serving Palestinian prisoners, going back on a pledge it made at the beginning of talks that US Secretary of State John Kerry kick-started in July.
The Palestinians responded by abandoning their own commitment not to seek international recognition until the talks finished on 29 April, applying for membership of 15 international treaties.
Mr Kerry blamed Israel for the crisis, saying its 1 April approval of 708 Jewish settlement homes in east Jerusalem derailed plans for the prisoner release.
Meanwhile, a senior Israeli minister has urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to annex Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, saying peace talks with the Palestinians were dead.
Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, who is head of ultra-nationalist Jewish Home party, wrote to the prime minister saying Israel should extend its sovereign territory to a number of major settlement blocs.
Mega settlements, such as Ma'ale Adumin, are built on land seized in the 1967 war, which is territory the Palestinians want for their future state.
Successive governments have said the blocs, illegal under international law, should remain part of Israel in any negotiated deal with the Palestinians.
The Geneva Convention states "the Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies".
However, Israel argues that the settlements are not illegal.
The US-backed negotiations came close to collapse last week amidst mutual recrimination and although the two sides are seeking to overcome the crisis, Mr Netanyahu has already started to impose punitive sanctions on the Palestinians.
"It is clear that the current process has exhausted itself and that we are entering a new era," said Bennett, urging Netanyahu to annex a number of large settlements.
"These are areas which enjoy a wide national consensus, have security implications and have historical significance for the State of Israel."
A high-tech entrepreneur and a former settler leader, Mr Bennett has called in the past for annexing a much larger part of the West Bank and is a long-time opponent of any deal that would grant the Palestinians a state.
Mr Netanyahu made no comment on Mr Bennett's request, but is likely to face strident calls from within his own rightist Likud party to annex the blocs, home to an estimated 350,000 Israelis, if the latest peace talks implode.
However, such a move would almost certainly set off a storm of international condemnation, and Israel's chief negotiator, Tzipi Livni, said Mr Bennett was acting like a "provocative child" who needed parental restraint.
"If you want to go totally crazy, keep it up until we can no longer make a deal and lose everything we hold dear," Ms Livni, who serves as justice minister, wrote on her Facebook page.
Israel has already annexed part of its 1967 gains: the Golan Heights that border Syria, and East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians want as their capital.
Neither move has been recognised internationally.
Construction of new Jewish homes in the West Bank rose 123% year-on-year in 2013, a surge that coincided with the resumption of talks.
Mr Kerry said this week that the announcement last week of tenders for 700 new homes in East Jerusalem was the immediate cause of the negotiations crisis.
An official in Mr Netanyahu's office said Israel was "deeply disappointed" by Kerry's remarks, signalling clear tensions in relations between the two allies.
The prime minister has pinned the blame on President Mahmoud Abbas for signing last week 15 international conventions, saying this broke his prior commitment not to take unilateral steps to bolster Palestinian statehood while talks were under way.
As initial punitive action, Mr Netanyahu ordered a partial freeze on contacts with the Palestinians.
However, the two negotiating teams were due to meet later to seek a way to prolong their talks beyond April.

James Stewart was arrested March 28th for impersonating a police officer. The Supercross star was stopped at the Orlando International Airport by an Orange County deputy and Orlando police officer. Reports state a second man, Quinault Jehrrod, was also arrested with Stewart.
The charges stem from an incident earlier on Monday involving the 25-year-old Stewart and his passenger, Jehrrod (age 44). Stewart pulled in behind a vehicle on State Road 417 and activated "red and blue police-type lights" located on the dash of his Toyota Tundra pickup. The vehicle Stewart was trailing pulled to the right shoulder. It contained two off-duty Florida Highway Patrol troopers and an Osceola County deputy.
Stewart's truck then pulled up with the passenger shouting at the vehicle. The off-duty officer then showed his badge, identifying himself, with Stewart then speeding off northbound. The troopers followed and called 911. Stewart and Jehrrod were arrested later at the airport. Stewart was booked in the Orange County Jail and released in the early morning hours of March 29th. (UPDATE: Details of incident updated following March 29th statements by Florida Highway Patrol)
The Orlando ABC-affiliate station, WFTV, reports troopers have a confession with Stewart telling officials that the dash-mounted lights used to pull-over the off-duty officers were purchased at a flea market. Stewart's passenger was arrested trying to hide the lights in luggage.
Conflicting earlier reports raised confusion. The Miami Herald cited the man arrested as Mark Stewart Jr and the booking report listed the offender at James Mack Steward Jr., mispelling the last name.
It is unclear how the charge will hinder Stewart's immediate racing plans. Updates and official word from the Stewart camp is pending. (UPDATE: An AP report states Stewart has been charged with a first-degree misdemeanor)
Here's a video from the Orlando Sentinel which shows the lifted, black, four-door Toyota Tundra driven by Stewart.

A lawsuit has been filed against the Montezuma County commission for eliminating the Transferable Development Rights program within the Dolores River Valley.
The plaintiffs have organized under a new nonprofit group called Protect Montezuma County Water, represented by attorney Erin Johnson.
They are seeking a court order to nullify the July 7 decision by the county commission that canceled the TDR program in Chapter 8 of the Montezuma County land use code.
"We believe the TDR program should be re-instated," Johnson said Monday morning. "The county commission acted in excess of their authority and made the decision to eliminate TDRs in an arbitrary and capricious manner under Rule 106."
The suit, filed Friday, Aug. 1, in 22nd Judicial District Court, also claims removing the TDR program is a an illegal property takings in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
"People platted TDRs, they have value and the commission took them away on a whim saying they were confused by the program," Johnson said. "Landowners were relying on the program, and people were interested in purchasing TDRs."
The county is required to submit a certified record of proceedings of their decision, after which a time table of court dates is set.
TDRs were established in 2003 for the Dolores River Valley. The form of market-based zoning put a development cap within the county's portion of the valley. Building rights could be bought and sold among property owners, but none were ever recorded to be sold. Proponents of TDRs said the development cap was critical for protecting water quality into the future. Opponents said it unfairly restricted property rights and that TDRs were difficult to purchase.
In the 2-1, commissioners Steve Chappell and Larry Don Suckla agreed to end the TDR program, and commissioner Keenan Ertel voted against its elimination.
The lawsuit was filed under Rule 106, which permits review of a government body actions if plaintiffs believe they have exceeded jurisdiction or abused their discretion, according to court records.

A response from Anastasios (of Ineluctable fame) to my comments about Iraq made here earlier today:
I completely hear what you are asking in terms of all these questions. The only reason I cannot entertain the thoughts you are allowing yourself to entertain is because I have absolutely no trust in the US government's improving the suffering's plight . The suffering Kurds and Iraqis, in my opinion, mean absolutely nothing to Team Bush. If international pressure increases and if the inspectors were given some teeth along with some intelligence, there might be an opportunity to rid the Iraqis of Saddam while also improving everyone's lot on the Arabian peninsula. However, I don't think a million bombs and an additional loss of lives will improve the situation over there. It could well turn into WWIII. Hell of a lot of good we've done Afghanistan. Karzai is propped up by US henchmen, the Taliban are re-entrenching, and people are just waiting to assassinate him.
Ultimately, I cannot, do not and will not trust Bush and his lot of criminals (Rumsfeld, Cheney, Perle, Negroponte, Condoleeza, Pointdexter, et al).
I pray things don't get worse.

Golden Globes readies for its big night
A few days before tonight's Golden Globes, the Beverly Hilton International Ballroom was having a little work done.
Crystal chandeliers are being hung from the ceiling, where they'll illuminate stars including Jennifer Lopez, George Clooney, Dustin Hoffman and dozens more Sunday night. Workers on cranes are rigging up the 16 cameras that will capture the action inside the ballroom for worldwide TV audiences, and seating charts are being meticulously planned for maximum celebrity interaction.
But by showtime, the ballroom will be beautiful, and veteran live-TV producer Barry Adelman and director Louis Horvitz say they'll be ready for whatever the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards may bring.
"Because of Tina and Amy, we immediately have a fresh start," said Adelman, executive producer of the show.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler - both Golden Globe nominees for lead actress in a TV comedy - are hosting the show. Producers gave the pair free reign to put their comedy touch on the ceremony.
"They've been here, so they didn't need a lot of guidelines," Adelman said. "The hardest part is to find the time within everything that's going on to allow them to shine, which we have found and they will shine."
"They do television, so their sensibilities are really great for what's going to play well, not only for the room but especially for the viewers at home," Horvitz added, though neither man saw the duo's material until Thursday afternoon.
The hosts said in an interview that they're hoping for some spontaneous moments to riff about onstage.
"That would be really great, so we're trying to plan that," Poehler said.
"We have a lot of spontaneous things planned," Fey added.
Adelman said something unexpected is guaranteed to happen during the three-hour show.
"It's the globes, so something's going to go wrong," he said. "It just means anything can happen - and always does."
The best picture nominees at Sunday's ceremony are "Argo," ''Les Miserables," ''Django Unchained," ''Zero Dark Thirty," ''Lincoln," ''Life of Pi," ''Moonrise Kingdom," ''Silver Linings Playbook," ''The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" and "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" - many of which also earned Oscar nominations Thursday. The Globes also honor achievements in television.
Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez are among the A-list presenters.
Jodie Foster will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the show, joining past recipients such as Walt Disney, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand and Steven Spielberg. Robert Downey, Jr. will present the award to the actress-director.
"They are very close friends and he has something special planned," Adelman said.
Meanwhile, Adelman and Horvitz are putting the other finishing touches on their worldwide telecast, set to air live on NBC.
*The Golden Globe Awards red carpet airs live on E! at 3am Monday (repeated at 10pm).
