FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) — Being ranked tenth in the U.S in anything is pretty good considering the size of the country.
Fort Lauderdale has been ranked tenth in U.S. destinations for fall travel, according to the Travel Leaders Group.
The Sun Sentinel reported that Las Vegas ranked the No. 1 destination for fall travelers, followed by Maui, Hawaii, Orlando, New York and Honolulu.
The rankings were based on bookings data from about 900 U.S.-based Travel Leaders travel agents, according to the Sentinel.

Sharks Eat Life Caps
Mark Cuban is generally known as the skeptic on the popular show, Shark Tank. In the show, investors hear pitches from inventors looking to sell part of their company for investment capital. On a recent episode the sharks were pitched a product known as "Life Caps."
The product website declares:
LifeCaps is the ultimate solution when food is not an option. Great tasting and simple, you can take LifeCaps with you everywhere you go.
LifeCaps contains the perfect amount of nutrients that work together with our proprietary micro-particulate blend to create a metabolic trigger. This allows your brain and vital organs to utilize the sugars, proteins and carbohydrates that are stored within body fat for energy.
LifeCaps is bioavailable with the vitamins and nutrients that are essential on a daily basis for intake. Through the Krebs Cycle of the metabolization of the body, it absorbs in to the bloodstream within 20-25 minutes of ingestion. Once absorbed, LifeCaps is designed to maintain efficiency for approximately 240-280 minutes (depending on the individual and their circumstances).
In other words, LifeCaps is a multivitamin. It also contains the herb, hoodia, as an appetite suppressant (which I will get to below), but otherwise it is a multivitamin. This is the result of the lax regulations in the US – you can sell a vitamin pill with all kinds of claims and implied claims, say that it's "scientifically formulated" and market it toward a specific use – when the pill is just vitamins.
Creator, Daryl Stevenett, is not a scientist. He has no background in nutrition, medicine, or biology. He has done no research on his product. He did not consult with experts. He simply produced a multivitamin and invented some weird claims for it.
Stevenett's general claim is that if someone is in a disaster (trapped in a mine, for example) then taking a multivitamin will help offset the negative health effects of going days without food (you still have to drink water). This is trivially true in that you will still get the vitamins. However, when going without food, vitamin deficiency is not an immediate problem. You will die of lack of caloric intake long before vitamin deficiency sets in. Maybe the vitamin C will help a bit.
Stevenett pretends as if there is something magical about his multivitamin that will allow you to go days without eating. His specific pseudoscientific claim is that his formula (a multivitamin) will allow you to live off of your stored fat, just like a bear during hibernation.
This is complete BS. While the sharks, especially Mark Cuban, slammed the product as snake oil, they did not key in on this massive bit of nonsense.
Bears and other hibernating animals evolved specific metabolic pathways that allow them to survive off of stored body fat for months. Humans do not have these metabolic pathways, period. We do burn fat for calories, but we also need to burn glucose (the brain, for example, needs glucose). We do not have the pathways to make glucose from fat, so instead we burn protein – muscle – in the form of ketones. This leads to ketosis, which is a dangerous condition.
There is no magic formula that will give humans the metabolic pathways to live off body fat. That is pure nonsense. There are no "sugars, proteins and carbohydrates that are stored within body fat." (BTW – sugars are carbohydrates.) The phrase:
Through the Krebs Cycle of the metabolization of the body, it absorbs in to the bloodstream within 20-25 minutes of ingestion.
Is completely meaningless gibberish. It's almost as if someone who is completely scientifically illiterate looked up some terms in a biology textbook or online and then arranged them randomly into sentences.
These claims are potentially dangerous. At best they can give someone a false sense of security – if a multivitamin is your disaster plan, thinking that they will somehow allow you to go days without food without ill effects, you may forgo other actually effective methods, such as high caloric density emergency food.
Further, while the product is not explicitly marketed as a diet pill, it is clear that people will use the product as such. Stevenett noted that he lost about a pound a day while surviving on his magic pills. In the Shark Tank Success blog, a promoter writes:
What's interesting to note and perhaps even a bigger market for this super vitamin, is marketing LifeCaps also as a dietary/ weight loss supplement. Even if you could survive for 2 weeks with nothing but a bottle of Life Cap's and plenty of water (Entrepreneur Daryl Stevenett survived for 17 day's) you're still going to lose some excess body weight while living off this food pill that's more like a meal in a capsule.
No, it's not a meal in a capsule. It's a multivitamin. This, of course, is even more dangerous – convincing people they can safely fast for days because of this magic pill that does some biological mumbo jumbo.
What about the hoodia? A recent review of the literature found:
Publications based on scientific studies of key aspects such as in vivo biopharmaceutics, the biological activity of all chemical constituents, clinical efficacy, and especially safety are insufficient or completely absent causing great concern as H. gordonii is one of the most widely consumed anti-obesity products of natural origin.
Hoodia is regulated as GRAS – generally regarded as safe – which is partly based on prior use, but mostly just the regulatory version of the naturalistic fallacy. There is evidence to suggest possible toxicity from hoodia, but because it's a "natural" herb used by indigenous people (who apparently have transcendent knowledge about such things) it is assumed to be safe.
As others have pointed out, there is no failed presentation on Shark Tank. Life Caps just got free advertising before millions of viewers, many of whom probably walked away with the single fact , "lose a pound a day," resonating in their heads. All the stuff about not being FDA approved and no research are just details.
Mark Cuban was correct – this is pure snake oil. It is just the tip of the iceberg, however. There is a huge market for what are essentially just multivitamins with bogus claims of being "scientifically formulated" for some specific purpose. Airborne comes to mind – designed by a teacher to "boost the immune system."
There real magic formula is this:
poor regulation
multivitamin + made up bullshit ———-> cash

For anyone curious, here is a link to the segment on Youtube. The link will take you directly to where the segment starts.
I have to say that I am actually very impressed with the Sharks. All of them, not just Cuban. They actually went above and beyond to really slam him as a snake oil salesman. They had an excellent out purely for financial reasons and could have completely ignored the science, medicine, and safety of non-FDA approved supplements. But they didn't.
Worth watching the segment.
# SheRaon 03 Feb 2014 at 1:33 pm
I'm curious about this statement"This leads to ketosis, which is a dangerous condition." I've read that there are children with epilepsy that live in a state of ketosis for years with no long-term ill effects as part of their treatment plan. If you have the time, would you mind elaborating?
# Martin Lewitton 03 Feb 2014 at 6:17 pm
You must be confusing ketosis with ketoacidosis. Ketosis is not dangerous, the heart and even most of the brain can switch to oxidizing ketones for energy. There is some residual obligate glucose need in the brain, medulla of the kidney and the retina. The energy of fat can be used to produce glucose but the substrates for gluconeogenesis are the glucogenic amino acids, which are mobilized from muscle which is the bodies store of protein.
# Bronze Dogon 03 Feb 2014 at 6:51 pm
We do not have the pathways to make glucose from fat, so instead we burn protein – muscle – in the form of ketones. This leads to ketosis, which is a dangerous condition.
I may need some more info to digest Martin's comment above and how it relates to/elaborates on this, but it puts one thing in perspective for me. I've heard the idea behind the Atkins Diet and similar low-carb fad diets is deliberately inducing ketosis. It sounds pretty bad.
As for the Life Caps, yeah, it sounds pretty silly and dangerous. I've seen a bit of sci-fi and fantasy stuff that occasionally brought up super food pills and combat rations that looked way too small for me to believe they'd sustain someone. Yeah, you can cram a daily dose of vitamins and minerals into pill form, but expecting to live on that kind of strikes me as trying to sustain a car primarily on spare parts while neglecting to fill the tank. I imagine "empty calories" don't look quite so bad when you're concerned about surviving one more day.
My apologies for using an engineering metaphor on a medical/biology issue, but I couldn't think of a better one.
# ConspicuousCarlon 03 Feb 2014 at 6:52 pm
I don't know who all of these people are, but other than that one shameless guy they were all pretty much on top of the scam-trashing game. You rarely see mainstream news reporters interrogate something that well.
# TheFlyingPigon 03 Feb 2014 at 8:49 pm
Just watched that segment. I thought the sharks did well and I appreciate Cuban's obvious contempt. I wouldn't expect them to know the specific physiological reasons why this product is snake oil, but they all smelled the bullshit (that is their specialty). It's too much to hope for, but it would have been wonderful to see someone point out how dangerous it is to offer a pill that promises people the ability to safely go on a starvation diet. Some people could die, some people could experience permanent damage, and all would suffer muscle loss. Monstrous.
# Philosofrenzyon 03 Feb 2014 at 9:17 pm
I read that we DO have a pathway–albeit a minor one–for converting fat to glucose, which is a relatively recent finding compared to what's in a lot of the textbooks.
I read it on a low-carb proponent's site (http://blog.cholesterol-and-health.com/2012/01/we-really-can-make-glucose-from-fatty.html). It's written in a for-beginners way, and possibly with an agenda– but I checked the claims that seemed implausible, and looked at these papers he referenced.
As an amateur I couldn't find fault with it. Hopefully Dr. Novella can shed some light.
# DLCon 04 Feb 2014 at 1:54 am
"Food in a pill" has long been the objective of research — usually by cranks.
# ConspicuousCarlon 04 Feb 2014 at 3:59 am
I just watched it again, and:
1. The big bald guy wasn't really shameless, I think he may have just been playing along to tease the crank.
2. Watching it the second time was REALLY fun, as I was half busy the first time and missed a lot of the snears. These scammers rarely get a good facial smack-down like that, and these people were just hammering him.
# BillyJoe7on 04 Feb 2014 at 7:27 am
Martin Lewitt,
"You must be confusing ketosis with ketoacidosis"
I'm no expert but…
Ketoacidosis is seen only in untreated or poorly treated diabetics and in alcoholics.
Ketosis is seen in starvation states and in people on certain diets.
Steven Novella is talking about starvation states and hence ketosis, not ketoacidosis.
"Ketosis is not dangerous"
I think you got that part right:
Perhaps Steven needs to revisit this.
# BillyJoe7on 04 Feb 2014 at 7:30 am
…oops, I think I misread your post. Apologies. You are making the same point as I am.
# zorrobanditoon 04 Feb 2014 at 10:49 pm
What's the take-away here? That if you stop eating you will lose weight? This hardly seems revolutionary.
There is so much snake-oilery around losing weight (eg the claim I saw waiting in the supermarket checkout line yesterday that some movie star will tell you how to lose 10 pounds a day for two weeks (in defiance of the laws of physics) that this Life Caps stuff seems relatively mild by comparison.
But be consoled. It is unlikely that anyone who managed to become overweight in the first place will have the self control to live on a vitamin capsule for more than a few days.
# carbonUniton 10 Feb 2014 at 1:34 pm
If he's claiming that you can survive for days on this, wouldn't that make it "food"??
Talk about your unsinkable rubber duck, go look at the website for these clowns, www dot lifecaps dot net. The page title, which is even visible in search results, proclaims "LifeCaps: As Seen On Shark Tank | Survival Pill". Also, the page has a big graphic touting the "Shark Tank SUPER SALE – Today only BUY NOW!". The page has been like this since I looked at it on Feb 3rd after seeing Steve's post. Either this is incredibly ballsey, or they um, tanked, gave up on this and are working on the next scam…

CORAL GABLES, Fla., March 7 (UPI) -- Marcus Georges-Hunt tipped in his own missed shot at the buzzer Wednesday to give Georgia Tech a shocking 71-69 win over Miami.
The Hurricanes squandered a chance to clinch their first undisputed Atlantic Coast Conference title, but they will get another opportunity on Saturday in their regular-season finale against Clemson.
Miami lost for the third time in four games after letting a 10-point lead get away over the final 11 minutes.
The Hurricanes went scoreless during the closing 2:38 after Durand Scott's jumper gave Miami a 69-67 lead.
Georgia Tech tied it with 2:12 to go on Daniel Miller's layup and Miami missed its next two shots. The Hurricanes turned the ball over as well with 38 seconds remaining, giving the Yellow Jackets a last chance to win it in regulation.
Georges-Hunt, who scored only four points, drove the lane and tossed up a floating shot that hit the back of the rim. He reached up and tapped the rebound through the basket just before the clock hit zero.
Chris Bolden scored 21 points and Daniel Miller had 17 for Georgia Tech (16-13, 6-11 ACC).
Miami (23-6, 14-3) was led by Kenny Kadji with 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Associate Editor
CENTERVILLE — O'Brien Glass Products is now middle-aged.
The long-time business in downtown Centerville at 55 E. 400 South is celebrating 40 years of operation by Gary and Lois O'Brien and family.
It started in 1972 in part of what was an old Shamrock gas station on Main Street where Cutler's Cookies is now, Gary O'Brien said.
With a $500 loan from his dad, he ran the station,. He has kept it open later than any other in Centerville.
That brought a lot of late-night business, mixed with a deal on gas and glass.
"We sold gas for 35 cents a gallon in those days. We'd offer 10 gallons of gas free if a customer had us install a $50 windshield," Gary O'Brien said.
"We did a tremendous business. We were one of the biggest windshield shops in the area for a number of years," he said.
Sale of the gas station forced the O'Briens to move to their current spot, where they initially built a 40 foot by 60 foot building. It has since been expanded five times.
"We paid for things as we went along," he said, and the company always stayed out of debt.
Adapting to the times, the firm left windshield work behind and turned to window and mirror specialization tied to new home construction.
Its clients have included construction giant Ivory Homes and relative newcomers Woodside and Brighton homes.
The firm grew to 60 employees at one time but has downsized, in part due to the recent recession, and now has 18.
Business is looking up, though. The firm has received glass and mirror contracts for such Davis County construction projects as the 300-unit Park Lane Apartments in Farmington and the Legacy Village senior citizen community in Layton, along with other assisted living facilities from Spanish Fork to Brigham City.
Gary O'Brien has been active in state and national homebuilders' associations for years, where he has held leadership positions. He was also instrumental in organizing the first Davis County home shows. In addition, he served as president of the old South Davis Chamber of Commerce and the Oakridge Country Club.
Gary O'Brien could have easily followed in his dad's footsteps as a mechanic but as fate would have it, the old Intermountain Glass in downtown Bountiful offered him 50 cents an hour as a junior high student, quite a raise from the 35 cents an hour that France Auto, which shared the building, could pay.
"Big enough to do the job, small enough to care" is the motto Gary and Lois O'Brien have followed in their business dealings over the years.
Gary and Lois have seven children, 30 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.
They were thinking of retiring, but have put that off, at least for now. However, the couple bought a home in Casa Grande, Ariz., where they plan to spend at least a couple of weeks this winter.
But it's more likely than not, you'll find them at the store.

And a fair amount of google voice/sms, a bunch of email, a little web stuff. All on 4g, with bg sync on.
Like I said, nothing scientific, but battery life seems to better, or at least good, if anything.
Today, with KL2 back, its been with 1h32m calls, and 2h 15m display on to get from 100 to 35.

Hi there all This is part 3 !
Not proof read + english is not my mother tongue
Part 3 : Raman sleeps on the floor !
Raman comes home and sits in the living room with Mr Balla to watch TV. Mrs bhalla and simmi are drinking tea on the table and nillu is in the kitchen taking care of the dinner.
Ishita is back with ruhi. When she enters the house, raman glares at her, she tries to glare back but she can't compete so she lower her eyes first.
Ruhi goes to toshi and starts with "Daddi! Mein aapko ek story bathaaon?"
Toshi : "haa beta, bata de!"
Ruhi : "Subho papa ka haat Ishima ke..." Raman realizes what she is about to say "Ruhi!" he shouts to interrupt her. "... go to your room and freshen up. then come back to eat a snack." He nods at ishita to go with her. Ishita understands and goes with ruhi in her room.
In the room : Ruhi : "papa ne mujko story batane nahi diya!"
Ishima : Beta, don't be angry at papa. Kuch stories hote hain jo share nahi hote! Accha baba?"
Ruhi : "Accha ishima, mein yeh story kisiko nahi bataongi !"
Ishita smiles and helps ruhi change from school uniform to casual clothes.
At dinner Ishita and raman are both a bit quiet because they're still thinking about what happened in the morning. Toshi and bhalla try to ask if there's a matter but both of them act innocent.
After they're done with eating Romi proposes to watch a movie. They all agree and sit in the living room. After sometime ishita is really tired and yawn repeatedly. She says that she prefers to go to sleep as she has lot of work at the clinic the following day. She leaves.
Raman gets up too : "I'm going too. I have meetings to prepare for tomorrow." He doesn't say it but thinks " plus, this movie ain't that good so no regrets"
Romi : "Hehe bhai. Meeting prepare karna hai ya babhi ke saath time spend karna hai??".
Raman : "wait mein tujko bata ke hi rahoon gha.."
Toshi "arre chup karo, sara scene khrab kar rahe ho. Tu jaa raman."
He goes in the room, takes his clothes. Ishita comes back from the bathroom. Again they glare at each other. Raman goes in the bathroom and comes back. Ishita is standing next to the bed.
Raman : "kya kar rahi ho? are you going to sleep standing up ? "
Ishita "... yesterday, the "no man's land" didn't work at all. We have to think about something else."
Raman to himself : "I tried to do a good deed by throwing the couch but now it's just more trouble."
Raman to ishita, annoyed : "so... what do you plan on doing?"
Ishita : "we should... Put more pillows in between!"
Raman : "arree yaar kya syapa hai ye saab? Chal, kar jo tumne karna hai, mein to sone wala hoon".
Ishita puts the pillows in between them and lies down too.
As they try to sleep they are both very uncomfortable. The pillows are taking almost all the place. It's getting crowded and hot. They are both turning again and again in the bed, trying to find a comfy position but in vain.
Suddenly raman is annoyed and decides to throw the pillows away. Ishita gets anxious
Ishita : "what are you doing?! This is the no mans land ! you have no right!"
Raman : "look I'm tired and I need to sleep. Just stay in your part of the bed and I'll stay in mine."
Ishita is not convinced.
Raman : "Just turn off your little brain for tonight and sleep." Says raman as he turns his back towards her.
Ishita hesitates but finally lays down too. She turns her back towards raman.
At the night progress they both turn towards each other. Raman's hand touch her hand and they both open their eyes. Ishita gets up and start lecturing him
Ishita : "see, I know this wouldn't work!! I can't sleep like that. You should have never thrown the couch away. You keep finding new ways to annoy me ! you're unbelievable"
Raman is really getting annoyed now. He claps his hand in front of her face : "if I knew you would act so crazy, believe me, I wouldn't have ever thrown away the couch. I'll never do anything for you again. Period"
Ishita : "do something for me? What does that mean?"
Raman "nothing." He gets up and takes his pillow. He goes for the door.
Ishita : "where are you going?"
Raman sarcastically: "On a cruise ship." Ishita scowls at him. So he says "I'm going to sleep in the living room."
Ishita : "but they're all watching a movie there... And if you wait they'll ask you why you won't sleep in your room"
Raman had forgotten about that. He stops and seems to be thinking. "Right. You go."
Ishita :" Me?"
Raman : "yeah, you can go and sleep with ruhi right?"
Ishita : "but if they see me getting out of the room they'll ask me why I'm moving in the middle of the night. Plus, I can't disturb ruhi now that she is soundly sleeping."
Raman pinches his nose in frustration. "Whatever. He throws his pillow on the floor and lay down on the floor.
Ishita is shocked "Raman what are you doing?"
Raman ignores her. Ishita gets up and and comes near him. "raman? Why are you lying on the floor? Raman?"
Raman gets up and points a finger at her. "Shut up! I'm trying to sleep. You don't want me to sleep on the bed, I can't sleep on the living room, you won't go with ruhi. I'm getting real fed up with all this crap. I need to sleep and I'm going to. I'll sleep on the floor tonight and tomorrow I'll go buy a new couch. If you say one more word to me, I swear to god I'll make you sleep on the balcony and I'll take the bed for myself!" He lies down on the floor again and turn his back to her.
Ishita understands she better not talk to him right now. She goes back to sleep on the bed. She is feeling guilty because she realizes it wasn't a big deal that his hand touched hers. But since she was never that much physical with him or any men, she can't help to panic a little whenever it happens.

Five American troops were killed in attacks in Iraq on Friday, the U.S. military said on Saturday. Four of the soldiers died by a roadside bomb while on patrol northwest of Baghdad, the military said in a statement, cited by Reuters.
The other soldier was killed by a blast near his vehicle during an operation in northern Iraq, it said.
All in all, at least 13 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq this month, according to icasualties.org. Since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003, over 3,950 U.S. troops have been killed.

Things seem to be going actress Sofia Vergara's way these days. The Colombian actress recently topped Forbes' list of 2012 Higest Paid TV actresses. Between her movie roles, her various endorsement deals, the management company she co-owns, not to mention a steady gig on ABC's Modern Family, she's not doing so bad for herself, and it looks like she'll be adding guest-starring on two of Fox's animated comedy series to her resume.
Entertainment Weekly shared the news today, stating that Vergara has signed on to cameo in an episode of Fox's Family Guy for Season 11, playing the role of Peter Griffin's fantasy love interest. Seems like a fitting part for the beautiful actress, who plays the actual love interest to another TV family-guy (Modern Family's Jay Prtichett.) She's apparently going to be multitasking in her stint on Seth MacFarlane's comedy, as she's also set to voice the part of a woman "selling roses in a restaurant where Quagmire is "wooing" Peter so that Peter will do him a big favor." Sounds romantic.
In related news, Vergara will also be lending her voice to The Cleveland Show in an upcoming episode, playing the role of a character named Tia Sofia. Her part has something to do with trying to get Cleveland to host a quinceanera for Cleveland Jr, who's turning 15. It should be interesting to hear her pitch there. Quinceaneras: not just for Latin American teen girls anymore?
Both Family Guy and Cleveland Show already have growing lists of guest stars in the works for their respective seasons. Season 11 of FG is set to include guest "appearances" by Johnny Depp, Ryan Reynolds, Elizabeth Banks and Lellan Lutz. And Vergara joins Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, will.i.am and ?uestlove among the guest stars of Cleveland Show's fourth season, which debuts this October.

For Cave fans who have been patiently and exhaustively compiling this stuff in all sorts of dodgy ways, this set is a righteous archivist's gift.
Proves a better retrospective than the equally matter-of-factly titled The Best of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
UncutA fascinating document of exactly how far he's travelled. [May 2005, p.117]
MojoAn aptly schizophrenic alternative history. [May 2005, p.114]
If... you're already a fan, this is definitely worth a listen, not only for the interest value, but for the multiple songs which are simply brilliant Bad Seeds moments.
Under The RadarDespite its problems, B-Sides... is still a satisfying collection of Nick Cave's work over the years. [#9]
New Musical Express (NME)Even their B-sides are full of dark magic. [2 Apr 2005, p.50]
With phenomenal sound quality and scarcely a weak track in the lot, B-Sides & Rarities ought to satisfy Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds fans with its fascinating, if fairly familiar, tale.
BlenderWhen Cave is bad he's unbeatable, but when he's good he's darn near awful. [Apr 2005, p.133]
The WireThere are, unsurprisingly, great contrasts in material and quality. [#254, p.54]
As with most such collections you're going to get good, bad and extremely ugly, and this is no exception. The fact it spans three CDs seems a bit indulgent considering some of the material should be consigned to an incinerator never to be heard again.
This will definitely please the archivist fan of Cave and the Bad Seeds and intrigue everyone else. [Avg of grades of 7, 8, and 9 for the three discs.]
While two discs might have been more effective, the sheer overkill of this collection is par for the course for Cave and his supporting players.
Although there are a couple tracks that are a bit more padding than needed, but overall this is a career compilation that's definitely worth having.
Newcomers may want to start investigating with something less daunting, but even the casual fan of Cave's work will find this collection indispensable.
If this collection weren't intended as a nearly comprehensive catch-all, it could have benefited from being pared down to two discs. Nevertheless, it offers a convincing alternative overview of Cave's work, covering all the stylistic points and diversions on his epic journey.

Worst company to work with. Don't even try. Bunch of lier's
Balboa Capital is an independent financing company that specializes in equipment leasing, merchant cash advances, small business loans and corporate financing. The company is based in Irvine, California and was launched in 1988. It has an "A" BBB rating and has provided over $4.8 billion in loans.
Balboa Capital offers business several financing solutions depending on their size, needs and preferences. If you need capital to purchase business equipment, Balboa can fund up to 95% of the cost and provide leasing documents on the same day you apply.
Businesses looking for more flexibility can apply for small business loans and merchant cash advances, which don't have restrictions on how funds can be used and require no collateral. Larger companies and franchises can apply for special terms on loans and lines of credit.
Interest rates vary widely depending on the type of loan you apply for, the loan amount, term and your credit rating. For instance, the annual cost of leasing equipment ranges from 4% to 8% of the loan amount. However, unsecured loans, such as business loans and merchant loans, have much higher interest rates.
Balboa Capital provides loan amounts ranging from $1,000 to $50 million. However, small business loans and most equipment leasing loans have a maximum loan amounts of $250,000. How much you qualify for will depend on your business' gross revenue and bank account balances.
Balboa Capital operates in all 50 states
The application form only takes minutes to fill in and borrowers receive a credit decision within 60 seconds. In 95 percent of the cases, borrowers can receive their merchant cash advances within the same day. Small business loans may take up to 5 days to process. Although a solid credit history helps, Balboa Capital does not require borrowers to have perfect credit.
Balboa Capital is a direct lender with deep pockets that offers flexible loan solutions. Small business loans are processed within 5 business and merchant cash advances are usually processed within the same day. There are no prepayment penalties and business loans do not require collateral.
Overall Balboa Capital has good customer satisfaction rating. However, there are complaints about aggressive marketing techniques and surprises in the small print of contracts. As with all financial agreements, it is important to read carefully the entire loan or lease agreement.

Worst company to work with. Don't even try. Bunch of lier's
Great company in business for many years helping small businesses get loans and leases.
Great option when I needed some funds to grow my company. Everything can be taken care of over the computer, too for lots of time saving.
Easy to get a small business loan and a little higher rates than what I wanted, but my bad credit was a problem with my bank. Balboa was there when I needed cash.
A very good experience and I highly recommend them if you need a loan or financing
Negative reviews if possible.. Corrupt. Their contracts are borderline illegal. I suggest you go and check with the Calif Atty General's Office and you will see all the complaints.. Avoid like the Plague.
These guys are absolute scum bags!!!! Do not work with them under any circumstance.
I had a great experience with Balboa when I needed financing for my coffee shop.
If I could give 0 stars, I would. This is the worst company to work with. BEWARE of the HIDDEN Fees!! We got our first months invoice with an additional $900 in fees.
I've owned my own pet groomers shop for around 15 years, so needless to say, I've gotten my fair share of small business loans in the past. I hadn't gotten one in probably 4 years, so I was a little rusty on the industry. When I wanted one to assist me in moving locations, I went to Balboa. Honestly, they were the worst. The. Worst. They were so rude and inconsiderate. I wasn't a customer, I was a number in their heads. I don't regret my decision to go with ... Balboa, but I will look around for a better lender if I want another loan. More Less
I'm slightly mixed on my review of Balboa Capital. I got a loan for my small business through them and had a great experience. I recommended them to a friend, who also runs a small business. In the end, my friend had an awful experience. They treated her with such disrespect and were not helpful whatsoever. I was so embarrassed that I recommended her to what I thought was such a "great" company. Seeing as they have a lack of customer service to some of their customers, I will probably ... look around for a different loan provider. More Less
As a small business owner, I'm very busy going between multiple locations for my pizza shops. Because of this, I failed to take the time to properly research Balboa Capital before doing business with them. I took out one loan to purchase additional equipment for a new location we had just opened, and there weren't any issues to speak of. A while later, I took out another loan, for more equipment, but it didn't work out the same way. This time, it took weeks for them to give me a ... loan. It honestly was much more of a hassle than it should have been, especially considering I had already taken out a loan with them and was in good standing. I probably would look elsewhere for another business loan. More Less
I've read various bad reviews about Balboa Capital, but I'm not too sure why. I've gotten small business loans through various other lenders before, and Balboa seems very similar to the other companies I've dealt with. Their customer service, at least what I've seen, makes them a cut above the rest. I haven't run into any issues as of yet, and I received a loan in the amount I needed. The online application was easy, and getting the loan was pretty quick.

STP works great for sizing lube and a lot cheaper! Just put it on your pad and use like the more expensive stuff. You will notice the resizing takes less effort on your press too. Dont forget to put a little on your ram and pivot points.

Bausch & Lomb Visor
the only thing I can add at this time is something that helps my 55 year old eyes. I use a magnifying visor whenever doing anything requiring close up work and inspection and it always ends up on my head during reloading. I bought mine from Grainger a few years ago, they can be found at:
and probably other places.
Thanks for all the info.

Case/media sorter:
Get two 5- gallon buckets.
1 piece of ¼ " hardware cloth about a foot square.
Hot melt glue gun
Cut the top off of one of the buckets (handle end) to make it about 8" tall or so and name it "piece #1". Set it on the hardware cloth and use a sharpie marker to trace around the inside to mark the hardware cloth. Cut the hardware cloth into a rough circle 1" outside of the marks (making a circle of hardware cloth 2" larger diameter than the marked one) Make "V" shaped relief cuts from the outer edge to the marked circle. Bend the edges of the hardware cloth along the marks to make it a 1"tall flat bottomed basket. Get the bottom of the bucket that "piece #1" came from, flip it bottom-up on the bench. Set "piece #1" over it, loosely and handle up, using "V" trimmings of hardware cloth all around as spacers between the two pieces. Mark line with sharpie around the bucket bottom using "piece #1" as a guide and another line 2" further down around it. Cut along lines to make a band (throwing away the first band cut off. Place hardware cloth basket over small end of band and press it down into "piece #1"until it's about a half inch from the bottom. "Caulk" the joint between bucket and band all around, on top and bottom with hot melt glue.
The piece made makes a nifty strainer that fits into the top of the other 5 gallon bucket. Dump mix of cases and media, grab handle and twist back and forth a couple of times quickly and the stuff is sorted.. Also, you are left with a handy, heavy-duty, flat bottom bowl that your wife can't gripe about you using.
Keep smiling ... it'll just make 'em wonder what you're up to...

This I got from Brian Enos.
Use Hornady One Shot spray lube on your pistol cases. Yes, I know, you use carbide dies and don't need lube. Well, I wish I'd heard of the tip a lot sooner. The lube makes sizing much easier on my Dillon 550B. And, it dries and you DON'T HAVE TO WIPE IT OFF.

Anther issue learned the hard way !
Have you ever left powder in your hopper and finished for the night, then for some reason not finding time to get back to it for a time.
Now you go sit down for another reloading session and you draw a blank on the powder in the hopper, also has happened with my primers, So my new rule that I am trying to follow, is to keep loading until the powder is empty, or you run out of some component, then dump the hopper back in the containers, I still need to find me an appropriate funnel for this task.
Some have mentioned about the hoppers getting stained from the powder sitting for a long time also.
I have a spirile notebook open to my current load project, dates and all load info for that session. Was hoping this would keep me organized, but it don't work when I flip back to another earlier load page to build some of those rounds.
I think I'm going to have to do the sticky note pads, but I hate those things.
So far I have not had any stupids, only had to unload a few rounds made in error. Goofed up some overbelled 38 cases last night, I just tossed them as while trying to reclaim them with the case sizer die, they just went crunch oh well. I do have a scrap container of junk cases and zillions of spent primers.
This may be worth a few dollars someday.
Keep learning and stay safe.

I have a 12" X 12" ceramic tile on my load bench and whatever I am loading goes on the tile. The jug of powder, the box of primers even if empty, and the bullet. That way there is no confusion if I leave and come back tomorrow to finish.

I also use procedures that allow me to leave at any given time, with the only possible negatives being powder exposed to slightly elevated humidity (there's a fish tank in my reloading room), and my scale not being covered - with the beam still on its knife edge pivot points. Aside from those minor drawbacks, I can return at any time, and know exactly what was going on.
("slightly elevated humidity" is pretty relative. "Elevated" levels here are still lower than much of the country.)
No need to see if the cases were charged... I only charge one at a time, immediately before seating a bullet.
No need to see if I got to die adjustment... I leave them backed way out of the press if I haven't adjusted them for the load yet.
No need to check my OAL again... Once I set the length for a load, I lock my calipers at that measurement. (The calipers don't get touched until the measurement is written down.)
No need to worry about accidents with non-standard loads... If I'm working with something like Blue Dot reduced rifle loads, or am working with improvised data - my standard checks and balances are ignored. If I have to leave and come back, I recheck everything.
My standard set of checks and balances works very well for me (there are more than what was listed), but there is never a one-size-fits-all answer. With the non-standard loads, I don't take any chances.

I use the same thing for my Classic Cast press:
I developed this system before I bought the progressive; I place a case in the shellholder, then size it. As the hand comes back up with the handle, I pop the case off the shellholder into the bin, while the left hand grabs the next one. If one doesn't have to actually grab the case off the shellholder, one can really move a bunch of brass through in a hurry.
I do the same thing when i seat bullets w/ the single-stage, I grab a loaded case from the loading block with left hand, right hand grabs bullet, seats it, I pull the handle, and while I'm doing that, my left hand is grabbing another case. When the ram comes down I pop the completed round off the shellholder into the bin with my right middle finger, and the left hand is right there to put another case in the shellholder.
Since you asked about the presses:
I originally mounted presses on the large bench, but realized I still wanted it for cleaning guns, sorting brass, etc. etc. So I have them mounted on the small bench:
Here's my dremel setup; I have a vacuum under the bench, connected to a metal extension wand I've screwed to the side of the bench. When I flip the power strip switch, both the dremel and the vacuum turn on. Anything I grind off is sucked down the vacuum. I've used it to cut golf club shafts, brass cases that are stuck in a die, brass cases I want to cut apart and see what's inside, and so on:
I also have a scale which is on a sub shelf; gets it up and out of the way. Next to it is a pick I use for all sorts of things, cleaning, you-name-it. I keep it stuck in a cork I inserted into the side of the shelf after drilling a hole for the cork:

Hi all,
I saw this show last night where they were decorating a cake and the icing bag looked like it was made out of fabric... it wasn't parchment or plastic... does anyone know what I am talking about?? If so where could I find them??
I have a few of these. The ones I have are Ateco, I got them at Smart and Final. Just the outside looks like fabric, but the inside is coated with plastic. Not sure if that is the same thing that you saw...
Check a restaurant supply store they carry them.
CK Products and Ateco make these bags.....they are heavy duty and you can get a good grip on the bags!
Thank you ladies! I guess I will be paying a visit to Smart n Final
those canvas-type bags with the plastic-interior coating are marvelous for getting a good grip -- even when they're wet! and they stand up nicely on their own for drying.
Thanks for the feedback Aunt Judy I will definitely look for them to try them out
I don't think I have a smart and final by me but I am going to lok on e-bay for some
I was fortunate to find three brand new still in package, 21" bags at a flea market and only paid $2.00. Couldn't believe how big they look. Will use these for my big tip that I use for icing cake.
I have one of those, but it's from tuppenware. Very good.
Can't wait to try mine!!!!
I cannot find 20+ inch bags anywhere here, want them for my icer tip, was going to have to special order. My husband, a contractor, was telling me about "grout bags" they are cloth, brand new, can be cut to fit and are about 24ish inches, you can find them at Home Depot, Lowes, I am on my way to check them out!!!
the only thing bad bout canvas bags is they absorb color, get greasy after awhile and if not fully dried before storing away.. they mold!
i got one of the ateco canvas bags from pattycakes.com and didn't care much for it but that's just me. i got the big one for my icer tip and that might be why, it just got to greasy by the time i finished icing the cake.
gilpnh i get my 20" and 24" bags from country kitchens and i love them, they're not canvas but a nice plastic that's easy to hang on to.
The bag I used was canvas on the outside and is plastic in the inside... no grease got to the canvas on the outside of the bag.. I really liked the one I used...
I just bought a wilton featherlite (or something) for my large icer tip. Are these the same? It seems I still have to refill quite a bit.
It sounds like you bought a Wilton "featherweight" bag which should work fine with your icer tip. I use a 16 inch or more for mine which would help with frequent refilling.
Yes Darstus, thank you! I knew i had it wrong!
My DH just brought me home a 24inch "grout bag" from Home Depot. It is lightweight canvas on the outside and vinyl on the inside, and get this, its machine wasable on delicate! Oh joy, have a stacked wedding cake to feed 300 in a few weeks, cant wait to try it out!
My Wilton instructor told me that she throws her featherweight bags in with her bleach loads. Does anyone else do this?
I don't know of anyone that washes them in bleach but I know some that put them in the dishwasher as long as they have some way to anchor them on the top rack.
ill have to try to find some of these
Here is a picture of my "New" Icing Bag. It is a grout bag, DH bought it at Home Depot for 4ish dollars. It is a 24inch, I cut about 2.5 inch off to fit the icer tip. It is vinyl on inside, lightweight canvas on outside. My only dilema will be home will I hold this monster AND turn the turntable, it is a 2 handed bag it is so bag (cuts down on refills though) going to have DH pick me up another one since I have to icer tips. You can also buy at paint shop or brickyard and pay about $12 for them.
I too would have problems holding such a large bag but I have personally observed decorators that have the longer bags just toss it over their shoulder and pipe while holding it lower. When needed, they just work more icing down the bag. If I did this, I would probably tie the end with a rubber band as I am notoious for making a mess! Just ask my husband!
thats funny.. thats exactly what i do at work... just prop it on my shoulder... i havent made a mess yet of it .. i better go knock on wood now coz with my luck the next time i do it itll fall out of the bag
This is exactly why I love this place!! I would have NEVER thought to put it over my shoulder DUHHHHH that is such a great idea.

Compiled by Lindsey Virden
The following individuals appeared during felony bond hearings Wednesday inside the Pope County Detention Center. Their names, ages, anticipated charges and bond amounts are listed.
If charged, all will appear July 11 in Pope County Circuit Court.
Kyle McConnell, 22, theft by receiving - $20,000.
Atkins Police Department (APD) investigator Scott Harper testified Wednesday on June 12, an Atkins resident discovered his 16-foot utility trailer had been stolen from the residence. The trailer was entered into a police database. According to Harper, on June 13, the department received a call from Yell County saying they may have located the trailer at a residence in Plainview. The Yell County Sheriff's Department located the trailer. McConnell and two others were taken into custody. A witness said they saw two males and a female in a white Dodge truck with a broken windshield loading the trailer. McConnell was later stopped in a truck matching the witnesses description, according to Harper. The trailer is valued at $1,200.
District Court Judge Don Bourne ordered McConnell to stay away from the owners of the trailer.
Pamela Oliphant, 37, delivery of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) - $10,000.
Arkansas State Police narcotics investigator Tony Haley testified during the last six months, he and others within the 5th Judicial District Drug Task Force met with Oliphant via a confidential informant on two separate occasions. The informant purchased methamphetamine on both occasions that weighed a total of 3 grams from Oliphant, according to Haley.
Randall K. Scott, 49, possession of a controlled substance (marijuana) with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia - $25,000.
According to a police report, Scott was the subject of a traffic stop on June 14. The officer conducting the stop noticed the smell of burned marijuana. According to the report, Scott told the officer he had a bong and a small amount of marijuana in the motor home he was driving. A search of the motor home located a bong, rolling papers and a small baggie of marijuana in the bathroom. The officer also discovered a duffel bag and suitcase beside the bed containing 26 vacuum-sealed packages of marijuana totaling 27 pounds with a street value of $43,000, according to the report.
Charles M. Tackett, 31, forgery and theft - $5,000.
According to a police report, Tackett went to River Town Bank in Dover to cash a two-party check made out to someone else on June 3. The total amount of the check was $1,116.78. Bourne ordered Tackett to stay away from the individual the check belonged to and from River Town Bank.
Buddy G. Baugus, 44, failure to appear - $200,000.
According to a warrant, Baugus was charged on March 30 with failure to appear after missing his court date on Feb. 28.

Why is selling the Miramar Landfill a good idea? Like a used car with 150,000 miles, it's mostly used up, at least according to the campaign for a new landfill in Gregory Canyon in the North County. Miramar's life as a landfill can be measured in months rather than years. So it must be a good idea to sell it now. Once filled up, there's limited commercial value; you can't build on a landfill. Parks, playgrounds, parking lots or just open space is their destiny.
The city of San Diego can't afford to run the parks it has now. Is the plan to unload the liability while the landfill still operates? What about the next disposal site? What about Gregory Canyon? Would that be a private for-profit operation?
Perhaps the city hopes to reduce liability? Unfortunately, the law compels San Diego to retain the liability for the consequences of the landfill for, well, forever. Selling the property will not relieve the city of liability.
The county is often mentioned in news articles concerning Miramar. True, the county divested itself of its landfills, but it retained liability for their contents. Given what landfills are and given what government does, it's not a simple matter of handing the keys over and walking away.
The government code requires local governments to provide for trash disposal. The city can operate the landfills as a public agency (current practice), have it provided through a private for-profit business (the county) or send the trash some place else by means public and/or private (New York City). But unlike the county, the city's situation is different. San Diego's charter requires the city to provide trash collection as a public service to city homeowners.
When the county handed over trash collection to Herzog Contracting Corp. in 1983, the increased cost was paid by the customers. Unlike the city, the county is not obligated to provide trash service. When the county gave up the landfills in the 1990s, the customers paid the added cost. But without a change to the city charter, San Diego will be obligated to pay these added costs.
"The law compels San Diego to retain the liability for the consequences of the Miramar Landfill for, well, forever. Selling the property will not relieve the city of its liability."
Why will costs go up?
What part of "for profit" don't you understand? Contracting out adds layers of overhead – customers pay for the administration of the company, for the company's taxes and debt, and for the contract compliance staff the city must employ. Add to that the city's need to monitor environmental impact. But now through a private company motivated by profit the city will be once removed, creating inefficiencies to protect our environmental interests. Think British Petroleum.
For the city of San Diego, with its charter obligation, selling Miramar Landfill will create a monopoly over which it has little control. It also increases the likelihood of illegal dumping.
Private dump operators provide a lucrative opportunity to cheaply dispose of toxic wastes. Along the Eastern Seaboard, organized crime has been involved in illegal waste dumping for years. It's very profitable, and the source of a number of superfund toxic sites.
The smart move for the city of San Diego is to stay in the landfill business as long as the charter obliges the city to provide trash service to homeowners.

Remember that World Premiere that Disney is holding for "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" for charity, with tickets going for $1,500 each? Disney has announced that it sold out in just 14 days.
Commenting on the announcement, Dick Cook, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios, said,
"Disney is dedicated to making dreams come true, and now we're joined by 'Pirates' fans from all over the world who are making a difference through their generous support and participation in this event. The Studio is extremely excited about 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End,' and we are looking forward to a spectacular premiere to give the movie the send-off it deserves, while also touching the lives of so many children and their families."
According the Disney press release, ticket buyers were from countries such as Australia, Japan, Germany, Belgium, Canada and Mexico, and 35 U.S. states including Hawaii.
"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" picks up where the record-breaking 2006 smash hit left off, with our heroes Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) allied with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones' locker.
With the terrifying ghost ship, The Flying Dutchman, and its commander Davy Jones under the control of the East India Trading Company, there is havoc on the Seven Seas. Navigating through treachery, betrayal and wild waters, the heroic trio must forge their way to exotic Singapore and confront the cunning Pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat). Now headed beyond the very ends of the earth, each must ultimately choose a side in a final titanic battle – as not only their lives and fortunes, but the entire future of the freedom-loving Pirate way hangs in the balance.

The Los Angeles Brotherhood Crusade, with its long and historical record of providing a broad range of leading-edge education and training, health related information and screening, recreation, and a host of other services to the citizens of Los Angeles County, recently produced the winning team of students who competed in the Microsoft technology competition, the Teen Tech Challenge, that was created in conjunction with the Oscar de la Hoya Foundation.
"We are extremely proud of our students." Charisse Bremond, President and CEO of the Brotherhood Crusade said. " Jerry Walker, Program Director, as well as the winners, Marquis Liggins, Willie Ross, and Steven Garcia, deserve special recognition for their hard work and for delivering and presenting their winning project."
"The Teen Tech Challenge took place at several youth outreach organizations in Los Angeles and over 200 participants between 13 and 21 years of age completed a total of 80 projects." Microsoft Western Region Citizenship Director, Celeste Alleyne said. "The theme of the competition was "Tomorrow's Leaders in the Workplace" and first place honors were awarded to three students from the Brotherhood Crusade who created a videogame titled "Run Forrest Run."
Despite a struggling economy, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that more than 300,000 technology-related jobs remain unfilled for lack of qualified workers. At the same time, only five percent of American college undergraduates are pursuing degrees in science or engineering, compared to levels of 42 percent in countries like China and India.
"This need for technology employees presents an opportunity for future generations of young students to engage in technology careers and increase their chances to become part of the U.S. workforce when they graduate, Alleyne explained.
The Teen Tech Challenge was established to encourage teens and young adults to get excited about technology-related careers and build online communities through non-profit technology training programs. "At Microsoft, we strive to create special programs like the Teen Tech Challenge," Alleyne added, "providing youth with access to the latest technology, and inspiring them to realize their full potential.
In addition to the Brotherhood Crusade winners, the second and third place winners, from the Oscar de la Hoya Foundation and the Boys and Girls Club of East Los Angeles and Hollywood, participated with boxing champion Oscar de la Hoya in a very special lunch and award ceremony that was held at the Boys and Girls Club in Venice, California.
Not only did the individual participants and teams garner the distinction of winning a city-wide competition, they also were given an opportunity to chat with de la Hoya and received several gifts, prizes and software from Microsoft. In addition, Bremond announced that the Brotherhood Crusade winners will also receive laptop computers to further stimulate their technological learning endeavors.
In addressing the young people and their parents, de la Hoya said, "I am very proud to see so many young men and women participating in this challenge created by my foundation and Microsoft. It is very important that we offer our youth the tools they need to succeed in life, and an interest in science and technology careers that will widen their horizons and increase their chances of securing lifelong employment in the future."
He also noted that it is a path for success that is a lot easier than the one he chose to pursue as a professional boxer.
Founded in 1975, Microsoft is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential. Through its Unlimited Potential vision, Microsoft is committed to making technology more affordable, relevant, and accessible for the five billion people around the world who do not yet enjoy its benefits.
"By working with governments, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations and industry partners, Microsoft hopes to reach its first major milestone, to reach the next one billion people who are not yet realizing the benefits of technology, by 2015.
"I am very pleased with the relationship the Brotherhood Crusade has established with Ms. Alleyne and Microsoft." Bremond concluded. "Microsoft has been a huge corporate sponsor and with their generous support we have been able to bring technology into the communities we serve through adult and youth programs."

Unova ('Pokemon White/Black')
Unova is almost mundane … except for it being part of the Pokémon world. For a region inspired by the state of New York, Unova is less urban jungle and more a blend of rural and urban flavors. There are sprawling metropolises, sure, but they don't clash with the quieter towns or the region's natural geography of mountains, forests and deserts; Unova has a place for everyone. There's Castelia City, a seaside metropolis that acts as the region's center of economics and business, with towering skyscrapers, commercial buildings and ports. Not into the city bustle? There's Nuvema Town; a small rural town in southeast Unova. It features windmills, a view of the ocean and the local Pokémon professor, if you ever want to get started on your own adventure! And each major locale is conveniently connected, whether by bridge, subway or underwater tunnel that allows for free movement across the region.

News from HTC has been mostly gloom and doom as of late, after some poor 2011 results and gloomy Q1 2012 predictions. But today the struggling manufacturer finally gets a bit of good PR: it'll be the first to launch an Android phone with an LTE connection in Europe. The Unwired reports that the HTC Velocity (better known to US Android enthusiasts as the Vivid) will launch on Vodafone Germany soon, making a milestone for the currently small LTE options on mainland Europe.
In case you haven't kept a carbon copy of our HTC Vivid review in the back of your mind like a good Android fan, let's refresh quickly. The Velocity skews towards the higher end of HTC's line up, with a 4.5-inch 960×540 LCD display, 1.5Ghz dual-core processor and Gingerbread (sigh) with HTC's Sense UI tacked on. We came away impressed with the phone thanks to its solid feel and conservative styling, but gave Samsung the nod when the Vivid went head-to-head with the Galaxy S II Skyrcocket, mostly because of the former's dim screen, extra weight and shorter battery life.
Vodafone wasn't forthcoming about an exact price or release date, but assures customers that the Velocity will be available in the next few weeks at the latest. Also, it comes in the spiffy white that all the cool manufacturers seem to be adopting these days. HTC hasn't said anything about wider availability, but you can expect the Velocity or something similar (perhaps shown off at Mobile World Congress) to start appearing on the few European carriers with LTE capability, or a planned rollout of the same.

Probe launched in women's deaths
As 2 mourned, Iraqis question security firm
BAGHDAD - Iraqi officials demanded answers yesterday from representatives of an Australian-owned security company, as the government appeared determined to curb perceived excesses by heavily armed guards accused of killing nearly 20 Iraqi civilians in less than a month.
The scrutiny of the firm, Unity Resources Group, began a day after its guards gunned down two Iraqi Christian women in their car and nearly a month after 17 Iraqis died in a hail of bullets fired by Blackwater USA contractors at a busy Baghdad intersection.
Officials in the tight-knit world of security operatives in Baghdad said Blackwater was preparing a reorganization and possible downsizing. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the issue's sensitivity. The company, based in Moyock, N.C., does not speak publicly about its operations or plans.
At a funeral service in Baghdad's Armenian Orthodox Virgin Mary church, the Rev. Kivork Arshlian urged the government to punish those responsible for Tuesday's killings despite the immunity that has generally been enjoyed by foreign security contractors in Iraq.
"This is a crime against humanity in general and against Iraqis in particular. Many other people were killed in a similar way," he said. "We call upon the government to put an end to these killings."
His comments reflected the growing anger against the private security companies - nearly all based in the United States, Britain, and other Western countries - as symbols of the lawlessness in this country since the US-led ouster of Saddam Hussein in 2003.
The shooting in central Baghdad on Tuesday by guards firing from a Unity Resources Group convoy only deepened troubles for the foreign security industry in Iraq. The two Armenian Christian women died when their white Oldsmobile was targeted by two Unity guards as the convoy was returning to one of its facilities in the Karradah district.
Witnesses and police said it appeared that the driver was trying to stop when the shooting began.
"We cannot say the guards shot at random, but we rather say that they used deadly force in a situation where they shouldn't have," said government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh. "The preliminary investigation has shown that there was no threat to the convoy. The families of the victims will be summoned according to the legal procedures. They can file a law suit against the security company."
Unity's chief operating officer, Michael Priddin, said company officials had "been meeting with Iraqi authorities throughout the day and are cooperating with their investigations."
"The security team used graduated and escalated responses which included nonlethal means such as signage, strobe lights, hand signals, and a signal flare fired in front of the vehicle in an effort to get it to stop," Priddin said in a statement last night. "The vehicle did not heed these warnings and failed to halt. Fearing a suicide attack, only then did the team use their weapons in a final attempt to stop the vehicle."
The Unity executive said, "We deeply regret the loss of these lives."
A US military spokesman, Major General Kevin Bergner, said Unity was "working with the Diplomatic Security Service here at the embassy and with the government of Iraq . . . to be accountable and to investigate fully what happened."
Unity, owned by Australian partners but with headquarters in the United Arab Emirates, provides protection for USAID contractor RTI International.

Jason Garrett likes what he's seen from Rolando McClain
OXNARD, Calif. – Rolando McClain is quickly picking up the Dallas Cowboys defense. During his repetitions working with the first, second and third teams at middle linebacker, the eighth overall pick in the 2010 draft has impressed Jason Garrett.
"I have liked what he's done so far," Garrett said. "He's in shape. That was one of the initial things we had to monitor, what kind of football shape he was in, and he was able to handle reps physically right away. He's smart. He picks things up very quickly in meetings and is able to translate it on the field.
"It's easy to see why he was a top 10 pick in the draft coming out of school. We talk about the success he had at Alabama, that kind of a program, the kind of games he played in, the kind of leader he was for them. I think you see a lot of those traits. Now, it's really early and he's probably practiced four or five days with us and he has a long way to go, but he's really kind of stepped into this situation and it seems like he's taking advantage of this opportunity. You see a lot of really good traits both physically and otherwise."
McClain, 25, has been out of football for over a year, so getting back in playing shape has been his top priority. In terms of statistical goals, the former Alabama standout hasn't set any.

"I'm just taking it day by day," he said. "That's what I have to focus on. I got a steep hill ahead of me and I'm just climbing. Like Coach Garrett says, just keep fighting, fight with the rest of these guys. We still got a lot more training camp left, so I'm focused on that."
"My biggest thing right now," McClain said, "is paying attention not just when I'm on the field but when everybody else is in so I can get as many reps mentally and physically as possible."
Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli has also liked what he's seen from the former Oakland Raiders starter.
"He's smart and he's football aware," Marinelli said. "I think he has a real passion to play football, a real passion. He plays fast. We're just going to keep coaching these guys, keep him in the mix, keep guys mixed up in there, give everybody as many opportunities as we can and see who surfaces."
