Employers are responsible when their employees suffer injuries at work. But what about injuries that happen before the employee clocks in?
A federal court has ruled under some circumstances, the employee isn't eligible for disability benefits.
Recent case: Linda DiMeglio was a police officer for the village of Briarcliff Manor. While she was in the locker room changing into her uniform before her 3-11 p.m. shift began, she fell.
She applied for disability benefits available to officers hurt during the course of their duties. Her request was denied because the call for medical help was logged in at 2:47 p.m., 13 minutes before her shift started. She appealed the denial.
The court tossed out DiMeglio's case, reasoning that putting on her uniform before clocking in was not covered duty time. (DiMeglio v. Village of Briarcliff Manor, No. 07-Civ-3324, SD NY, 2010)

Taking Care of You
Taking Care of You: Infant Mortality Initiative
In 2013, Healthcare Georgia Foundation launched the Taking Care of You infant mortality initiative among high disparity populations to achieve measurable reductions in adverse birth outcomes, including but not limited to: low-birth weight, prematurity, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome/Sudden Unexpected Infant Death. This initiative builds upon a previous demonstration program supporting promising approaches to improved infant health. This initiative reflects a commitment to achieving health equity through targeted community interventions addressing population health disparities.
The number of infant deaths in a community is one of the best indicators of the community's health status. The infant mortality rate (IMR) is defined as the number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births. High infant mortality and per¬sistent racial disparities in birth outcomes have been highlighted for decades.
Significant improvements have come about via advancing medical science, effective policies, technology and public health. However, Georgia consistently ranks much lower than the national average. In 2006, Georgia ranked as the 8th worst state with an infant mortality rate (IMR) of 8.1 deaths per 1,000 live births; the U.S. national average IMR was 6.7. After reaching an all-time low IMR of 5.3 in 1999, Georgia's infant mortality rate (IMR) increased to 7.3 per 1,000 live births in 2008 and has remained 15-20% higher than the national average.
At any given time, African American infants are two times more likely to die than White infants. In 2008 in Georgia, African Americans had an average IMR of 13.8 vs. White IMR of 7.3 per 1,000 live births. In Georgia, the number one cause of infant mortality is disorders related to preterm birth and low birth weight.
Program Overview
Healthcare Georgia Foundation supports the implementation and/or expansion of evidence-based programs designed to improve birth outcomes in Georgia. The Taking Care of You initiative is a multi-year funding effort by the Foundation to reduce preterm births, low-birth weight and SUID/SIDS among targeted high disparity populations in Georgia through the application of evidence-based interventions. This initiative also constitutes the Foundation's investment and contribution as a larger statewide effort to improve infant and maternal health outcomes in Georgia.
Taking Care of You builds upon a previous demonstration program supporting promising approaches to improved infant health. The initiative reflects a commitment to achieving health equity through targeted community interventions addressing population health disparities.

Fluid inclusion and stable isotope constraints on the genesis of the Cligga Head Sn-W deposit, S.W. England
Smith, Martin; Banks, David A.; Yardley, Bruce W. D.; Boyce, Adrian
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 8 Number 5 (1996), p. 961 - 974
49 references
published: Oct 30, 1996
manuscript accepted: May 2, 1996
manuscript received: Sep 22, 1995

Abstract Samples of veins from the Cligga Head granite-hosted Sn-W deposit, S.W. England, have been studied by microthermometry, and analysed for the oxygen-isotope composition of quartz, cassiterite and wolframite and the hydrogen-isotope composition of fluid inclusions. Samples of vein quartz were also analysed for fluid-inclusion chemistry using a crush-leach technique. Oxygen-isotope geothermometry using quartz-cassiterite and quartz-wolframite pairs indicates temperatures of 350 to 400°C, although disequilibrium may be common. Coupled with fluid-inclusion homogenisation temperatures of between 300 to 350°C the data suggests hydrothermal activity at 350 to 400°C, and 0.7 to 1.7 kbar fluid pressure. High Th in some fluid inclusions suggests that pressure may have dropped below 0.7 kbar during periods of vein dilation. The calculated oxygen- and measured hydrogen-isotopic composition of vein fluids (δ18O from 6.0 to 10.8‰; δD from -52 to -22‰) is consistent with an origin as fluid that had equilibrated with granite at temperatures from approximately 500 to 300°C. Crush-leach analyses show the inclusion fluids to be Na-K-Fe-Ca chloride brines with significant levels of B, F and SO4. The K/Na ratios are consistent with equilibration with granite at progressively lower temperatures. Log Br/Cl in the inclusion fluids ranges from -3.40 to -2.90, comparable to the ratios of modern fumarole gases, and consistent with the degassing of magmatic volatiles as the source of salinity.

>its giving me errors
Stop & think.
We (TINW) are NOT minders.
Do you realize how many HUNDREDS of different errors there are?
Each different error requires a different solution.
Form 9i is less than helpful.
What's the actual version number out to four digits?
EXACTLY & COMPLETELY how are you trying to invoke Reports 9i?You can lead some folks to knowledge, but you can not make them think.
The average person thinks he's above average!
For most folks, they don't know, what they don't know.
Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

considering that I had called a report before from the same computer.

We had an absolutely perfectly wonderful dinner at Valentino last evening. In our opinion, this restaurant is head and shoulders over any other Italian restaurant in southern CA, and is surely one of the very best restaurants in LA.
Valentino was outstanding in every way! The dining rooms are attractive with comfortable seating, good lighting and the tables are spaced adequately so that restaurant is reasonably quiet. The servers are professional, pleasant, capable and most importantly, very knowledgeable about the food and wine they are serving.
Most importantly however, the food is awesome. We started by splitting a wonderful grilled apple salad and a delicious wild mushroom timbale both of which were outstanding. We then split an order of pumpkin ravioli with fresh white truffle shavings. This was absolutely scrumptious beyond belief; we felt we had died and gone to heaven! We both had fish for our entrees...halibut and branzino. Both were cooked perfectly with beautiful presentation and sauces. At this point, because we had several smaller appetizer courses plus very substantial entrees, and eaten much of the terrific bread, we were quite sated and thus finished off with just coffee and "a plate of cookies". The later was a wonderful presentation and consisted of multiple different goodies all of which were great.
Incidentally, we started with cocktails which were perfectly prepared. Of course, the wine list is outstanding and wine service was excellent. Additionally, when we told our server that we were going to share the first three starter courses, he arranged to have the kitchen split them for us. The presentation of each was perfect, and there was no additional charge for splitting.
This was our first visit to Valentino, but our meal was as close to perfect as it gets. If Valentino is consistently this good, there is no Italian restaurant in L.A. that can touch it!

Reviewed By James L (PORTLAND, OR) Reviewed for a 2003 Acura TL —11/23/2012 10:18 AM
I bought these mats for my 2003 Acura 3.2TL Type-S. They fit well. The passenger side mat didn't have a hole in it to fit onto the peg on the car floor to keep it in place, but I just used a utility knife to make a hole. Problem fixed. I had the same issue with the trunk mat. Not a big deal. The only real problem is that these smell toxic. The smell has gotten better over the last 3 weeks, but is still present. The mats are so good they are worth putting up with the smell though.

One of the legendary figures in the history of card magic, Charles T. Jordan (1888-1944) is known for the astonishing range of his inventive ability, the subtlety of his thinking and the fact that so many of his creations have become magic classics. This booklet is actually two booklets in one: Four Full Hands of Card Tricks and Four Full Hands of Down to the Minute Magical Effects. These were originally printed in 1921 and 1922 on large sheets 25" x 19". Later in 1947 LLoyd E. Jones reprinted this material in 9" x 6" format. Pages 40.

database design for dating site
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the site. I was hoping to get some help on designing a datamodel for a dating site. The basic user data (username, sex, age, height, location etc.) will be in a USERPROFILE table, and will be searchable by the user.
What I want to do is store some additional information (non-searchable) like favourite movie, favourite sports team etc. as well. I want to be able to modify these fields from time to time. For example, I may want to add a field for favourite backstreet boy! How can I do this in a nice clean way? I have thought about storing this data as XML in a CLOB, this way if something changes, no big deal. I dont have to alter any tables, and it's fairly straightforward parsing XML. Anybody have any other ideas or suggestions?

Thanks for the reply. What I think it buys me by storing this data in XML is being able to change it on the fly in an easy way. All the searchable fields will be regular columns in the table. Data that can be added or deleted by the site administrator can be in XML format. For example, if the site admin wanted to add three new fields and remove two from the profile options, it can be easily done.

VISION Testimonials
The AIA Cincinnati VISION Program provides valuable training to expose emerging professionals to the importance of leadership in business, community, politics and the marketplace.
—Mickey Jacob, FAIA
2013 AIA National President +Managing Principal, Urban Studio Architects, Tampa, FL
The four presentations [by VISION participants] before mine were diverse in topic, ranging from sustainable design to workplace communication. Together they hit on pretty much every key practice issue that hits my radar as ARCHITECT's editor-in-chief. I was equally impressed by the participants' sophisticated exchange with the speakers who followed me.
Ned Cramer
editor-in-chief, ARCHITECT Magazine, Washington DC
The development of young professionals to become leaders in architecture is essential to the prosperous future of the profession. The AIA Cincinnati VISION Program provides valuable training to position these emerging professionals to the importance of leadership in business, community, politics and the marketplace. It is a model program that offers exposure to a wide range of experts, knowledge and topics to cultivate the next generation of architects making a difference in the community, elevating the public awareness of the Importance of architecture and becoming firm leaders.
Mickey Jacob, FAIA
2013 AIA National President +Managing Principal, Urban Studio Architects, Tampa, FL
Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to take part in this wonderful program. I wish every AIA component would emulate what AIA-Cincinnati is doing with VISION, because we need more young architects to become civically engaged in their communities and in the national policy debates about design.
Andrew Goldberg, Assoc. AIA
Managing Director, Government Relations and Outreach-The American Institute of Architects, Washington DC
The VISION Program, as developed by AIA Cincinnati, represents one of the most comprehensive approaches to educating young architects as they grow in both their professional careers and personal lives. The importance of their development as civic leaders in their communities can not be overstated and needs to become a "non-negotiable" goal of the AIA and the architectural profession. Only then will we be recognized as agents for positive change … driven not by private agendas but rather by a life-long commitment to improving the common good of all citizens.
Anthony "Tony" Costello, FAIA
Principal, C+A & Irving Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Architecture, Ball State University, Muncie IN
The AIA Cincinnati VISION leadership development program for emerging professionals is one of the most refreshing and vital programs I have seen at both the chapter and national levels of AIA. From my perspective, this unique educational/exploration opportunity represents a model for all AIA chapters – a source of tremendous potential for all architects seeking a participatory role of deeper relevance, meaning, and responsibility in the co-evolution of our culture.
John Boecker, AIA, LEED Fellow
7group/ Boecker Consulting Services, Wellsville PA
I was pleased to be a contributor to the learning experience for participants in the AIA Cincinnati "Vision" program. As architects can become catalysts for civic initiatives and creative community leaders, the "Vision" Cincinnati Program provides young architects the tools, insight and resources they need in preparing to be the engaged leaders our communities so desperately need. Congratulations and continued success for the design and implementation of a dynamic and vital program.
Judson A. Kline, FAIA, LEED AP
2012 President, AIA Ohio + Senior Director, Herschman Architects, Inc, Cleveland OH
There is no question that the AIA Cincinnati Vision Program is among the country's best responses to provide strategic, appropriate and essential training for our future professional leaders. The organization, the content and the knowledge used in the Vision Program is well considered and effectively delivered. I would highly recommend this program for key professionals in any firm. We will continue to send members of the MSA team to the Vision Program in the future.
Michael Schuster, FAIA LEED AP
2013 President, AIA Ohio + Owner, MSA Architects, Cincinnati OH
The AIA Cincinnati Vision program is well conceived and executed with very interesting and important program content and faculty. The test is in the participants and the GBBN Architects leadership candidates have attested to the program's success.
Robert E Gramann FAIA
Chairman, GBBN architects, Cincinnati OH
I believe the future of the architectural profession is tied to the ability to first understand clients and second to take responsibility to be the client's advocate and see the project completed in the client's best interests. The AIA VISION program is demonstrating these issues to the emerging leaders in the profession.
J. Wickliffe "Wick" Ach
President and CEO, Hixson, Cincinnati OH
Hats off to the creators and leaders of the VISION program. It provides a forum for interesting and timely thinking about the business world of architects. The program takes participates out of daily project work and offers them a unique opportunity to explore new dimensions related to their careers and industry.
Dennis Geiger
CFO of LPK, Cincinnati OH
I was eager to share emersion's experiences within the higher education realm, in particular how professional firms can be integrated into the education of future professionals and thought leaders of our region. I was fortunate to hear from John Senhauser Architects and GBBN to gain further knowledge in the shaping of education and its impact on the profession, as well as being exposed to AIA Vision students' presentations focused on research and practice. As we tackle the biggest issues of our time, it is important to share our knowledge and skills; through the Collective Impact of area firms, students and individuals, we can help elevate the stature of our regional community as we continue to compete on the global stage.
Chad Wayne Edwards, RA, NCARB, LEED© AP BD+C
Principal, emersion design, Cincinnati OH
The Vision program is one of the most visionary programs developed at the local AIA Cincinnati Chapter. Having personally sponsored individuals to attend the program, participated in providing content for it and watched its evolution from the perspective of a Board member, I believe this is one of the strongest programs we have. It is forward looking in that it focuses on developing emerging professionals into future leaders and providing an opportunity for participants to develop bonds with their peers that can serve as a support system for them into the future. The return on this investment will serve all well.
John Isch, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP Homes
Principal, RWA Architects, Cincinnati OH
The excellent AIA Vision program is exactly the kind of program that shows what the AIA can do to enlighten our future leaders. I hope this program goes national because it is exactly what our profession needs more of.
James Stapleton, AIA
Vice President, FRCH Design Worldwide, Cincinnati OH
For the past two years, I have been honored to participate in the AIA VISION sessions addressing Advanced Delivery Methods. The guest speakers in each case have been gracious and thought-provoking. Their expression of the need to envision a new process model that strengthens the role of the architect in the overall scope of services and influence on the built environment is spot-on! I am proud to have had the chance to voice my passion for this message as well.
The audience has been superb and I so appreciate the willingness of each participant to challenge the thoughts being presented and to look internally and challenge themselves to accept a new responsibility; one that embraces not just design excellence, but collaboration, integration, leadership and most importantly an embracement of managed risk. For it is only through embracing and managing risk that we will control it.
I've learned much from every participant and guest, and am proud to have filled a need in this excellent program for young professionals.

I had the unique opportunity to participate as a panelist in the AIA Cincinnati VISION session 07: Design Legacy. As is so often the case, I'm quite sure that I got more out of it than the participants and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute.
It is popular to question the AIA and its general relevance to architectural practice. We live in cynical times. I am one that struggles with the 'return on investment' when the time comes to pay dues. My glimpse into the AIA Cincinnati: VISION program begins to address my skepticism. What I witnessed was a group of energetic, young architects looking to make a difference; maybe a difference in the AIA – maybe a difference in the world. The group did not shy away from controversial and relevant architectural issues and engaged in a discourse that was both respectful, yet challenging. These young men and women are forward looking and are fully engaging the future opportunity to become the next leaders of our profession. The AIA Cincinnati: VISION program is clearly equipping these participants with the tools to empower their vision. This is truly an effort to develop the talent in our community for our community. In this, AIA Cincinnati VISION is embodying the very purpose of the local AIA chapter.

The VISION program exposed me to facets of the profession of Architecture that I would not have access to otherwise. The interaction with my peers was eye opening and allowed me to forge relationships that will provide great insight and knowledge throughout my career.

The AIA Cincinnati VISION program successfully offered a "classroom-style" setting for those emerging leaders that have been removed from that type of environment longer than they wish to remember. Its well-structured combination of class locations, key-note speakers, industry conversation topics, and skill improvement assignments helped me, as a young architect, to view the profession (both locally and nationally) with broader brush strokes as opposed to the fine-tune detail of daily tasks. I highly recommend this program for those looking to grow both personally and professionally.
Christopher G. Bujnak, AIA LEED AP
Associate, MSA Architects; 2011 VISION Alumni
The experience exceeded my expectations in all respects. The VISION content and exposure to leading professionals has given me a much greater depth of knowledge specifically associated with leadership that is not available through any other professional organization. This program helped me specifically understand where my passions exist and how I can use these passions to make a difference and promote the value of the architect.

Vision provided an opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences with emerging local leaders, while learning from local and national leaders in Architecture and related fields. Each participant developed through the year in several professional areas, and expanded an understanding of the relationship of Architecture, the Community, and other fields. Vision also established a network of personal/ professional relationships to assist with development of each participant and the professional community.

chief operations officer, CR architecture + design; 2011 VISION Alumni
AIA Vision was an excellent opportunity to learn from both peers and a multitude of experts in the field, explore and evaluate the profession of architecture and my place in it, and find a bit of the enthusiasm that attracted me to the discipline of architecture in the first place.
Kevin Kluender, AIA
the drawing dept; 2011 VISION Alumni
The AIA Vision program was an excellent opportunity to expand my knowledge of how the business of architecture really works. Being exposed to so many firm leaders and great local and national experts was a unique experience that I will continue to draw upon for many years to come. This program is raising the bar for architecture in our city and I feel very fortunate to have been a part of its inaugural year.
Andrew Plogsted, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP BD+C
Associate, GBBN Architects, Inc ; 2011 VISION Alumni
What a wonderful opportunity the AIA Vision program has been for all of us. This has been such a rewarding year. We have all been exposed to so many innovative and inspiring leaders in our industry, both locally and nationally. We have developed lasting relationships that will result in a well-rounded and diverse group of leaders for Cincinnati's architectural community, now and in our future. I know I will be a better architect, leader, and person because of this program.
Christie Boron, AIA, LEED AP
CR architecture + design; 2012 VISION Alumni
The VISION program was a worthwhile experience this past year. I appreciated the opportunity to explore a wide range of issues within the business or architecture – what we do, why we do it, and how we can do it better. The monthly "rhythm" of research, preparation (our own presentations), listening (industry leader presentations), and then discussion / debate on these topics was not only very informative, but also very enjoyable. I think this kind of development program is not only important for individual growth, but is also a good example for the overall industry.
Jeffrey Ewart, AIA, LEED AP
Hixson Architecture Engineering Interiors; 2012 VISION Alumni
The Vision program was an excellent opportunity to expand and diversify my knowledge of the Architectural profession. This program gave me the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from other emerging professionals and firm leaders experiences, while also connecting with national leaders within the industry. I will continue to revisit my experiences within the program to use within my career for years to come.
Shawn Feigh, AIA, LEED AP BD+C
GBBN Architects; 2012 VISION Alumni
AIA VISION was so much more than I expected. Rather than teaching us the characteristics and skills common to so many leaders, as you might find in a self-help book, VISION focused on personal development allowing us to better understand ourselves, our peers, and the profession that we have so much passion for. Through this journey, we have been exposed to many facets of our profession and ideologies that the day to day operations do not always afford. The skills and understandings acquired through participation in this program have inspired us all to seek our places within our firms and professional organizations while allowing us to forge strong bonds with our fellow classmates. I am certain that our class will be calling upon each other and the knowledge that we have gained through our participation in this program for decades to come.
Christopher Scott Graham, AIA, LEED AP
CR architecture + design; 2012 VISION Alumni
AIA Vision was an enlightening experience that provided a new understanding and appreciation of the many facets of our profession. By bringing together emerging professionals, local leaders and experts, and keynote speakers from across the country, I've gained confidence in creating opportunities to lead, instead of waiting for chances.
Bryan Greene, AIA, LEED AP BD+C
Champlin Architecture; 2012 VISION Alumni
The AIA Vision program is a great way to sharpen the toolkit of the younger generation of local architects. For me personally, it really reinforced the desire to lead both my firm and community into the future.
Monica Lowry, AIA
FRCH Design Worldwide; 2012 VISION Alumni
The AIA VISION program exposed to me a wide range of issues that are having a great impact, some positive and some negative, on the architectural profession. Most of the issues addressed were concepts that I would not normally be exposed to on a daily basis in the office, but that nevertheless deserve a great bit of my attention. An intentional byproduct of the program is a close network of peers that will stay in contact long after graduation.
Dan Montgomery, AIA, LEED AP
MSA Architects; 2012 VISION Alumni
My expectation for the Vision program was that it would provide a foundation for future growth as a leader. What I found was an immediate and complete shift in my attitude toward the practice of Architecture, community involvement and leadership, and career goals. The sessions, discussions, and friends I've made have reinvigorated my passion for this profession. It's been a game-changer for me.

Emko Pill Wall-Mounted Desk
Not all spaces are built for gargantuan workspaces, nor do all jobs require them. The Emko Pill Wall-Mounted Desk is a more palatable option for smaller apartments, saving room when not in use while maintaining a clean aesthetic thanks to three closing doors that hide all of its contents when closed. The round cabinet's top door folds down to form a desk suitable for getting work done on a laptop, tablet, or physical notebook, also revealing a few adjustable shelves to fit files, catalogues, books, a pen holder, and whatever else you need close by. Two other doors below just hold more stuff, and the desk includes power sockets plus optional integrated LED lighting. Comes in four equally minimal colors including white, yellow, blue, and black.

MLS Soccer: Sporting Kansas City vs. Real Salt Lake Pick, Odds, Prediction - 7/24/15
Real Salt Lake (6-7-8) vs. Sporting Kansas City (9-3-6)
MLS Soccer: Friday, July 24, 2015 at 11:00 pm (Rio Tinto Stadium)
The Line: -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
TV: UniMas, UDN, MLS LIVE, KMCI-38, KMYU
Sporting Kansas City and Real Salt Lake meet late Friday night at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Sporting Kansas City looks to remain on fire after winning five of its last six matches. Sporting Kansas City is a defensive team that's allowed 18 goals in 18 matches which includes nine shutouts. Tim Melia has come away with 27 saves and has allowed one goal in his last three starts. Offensively, Sporting Kansas City has scored at least one goal in 15 matches and five goals in its last three MLS matches. Krisztian Nemeth leads Sporting Kansas City with seven goals, Benny Feilhaber has 10 assists and Dom Dwyer has 51 shot attempts. Sporting Kansas City has gotten points in four of its last five road MLS matches, which includes a 1-1-3 record during that span.
USA TODAY Sports
Real Salt Lake has come away with points in four of its last six matches but could use three points here. Real Salt Lake has scored 21 goals in 21 matches and has scored six goals in its last four matches. Sebastian Jaime leads Real Salt Lake with four goals, Javier Morales has seven assists and Alvaro Saborio has 30 shot attempts. Defensively, Real Salt Lake has pitched seven shutouts and allowed two or more goals in six matches. Nick Rimando has come away with 43 saves and has allowed four goals in his last four starts. Real Salt Lake has come away with points in its last five home MLS matches, which includes a 2-0-3 record during that span.
These teams are meeting for the third time this season, as Real Salt Lake won the match in June and there was a draw back in April. In fact, three of the last four matches have resulted in a draw. Sporting Kansas City hasn't beaten Real Salt Lake since July of 2013.
This is a huge game for Real Salt Lake if it's going to get back in the thick of the Western Conference. Also, while Sporting Kansas City has been red hot, Real Salt Lake has been just as good at home. I'm siding with the home team here in a big matchup where it needs all three points.

CHARLOTTE, N.C — Mark Martin will drive for Joe Gibbs Racing while Denny Hamlin recovers from a fractured verterbra in his lower back.
Martin's first start in the No. 11 Toyota will be next week at Martinsville Speedway, where he wasn't scheduled to race.
Brian Vickers had already been tabbed to drive Martin's car for Michael Waltrip Racing at Martinsville.
Martin has driven one other time for JGR, in the Nationwide Series last year at Las Vegas.
Hamlin is expected to miss at least five races while he heals. JGR did not specify how long Martin will be in the car, but the fifth race is at Talladega, a track Martin has opted to skip the last few years.
Although JGR had Vickers and Elliott Sadler running Nationwide Series cars, neither was totally free of commitments to drive Hamlin's Cup car. In addition to Vickers' commitment to Michael Waltrip Racing, Sadler has a deal with sponsorship to run a fourth JGR car at Kansas and Talladega.
NATIONWIDE SPONSORS: Darlington Raceway says its sponsors from last year have returned for the Nationwide Series event May 10.
The track said Thursday that Sports Clips Haircuts and the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States would be title sponsors for the Help A Hero 200 at Darlington. The organizations say the partnership helps raise awareness about the struggles of many military families and VFW's mission supporting active-duty military, veterans and their families.
NOVELA TO AIR: Ela Rivella is a sexy, headstrong race car driver torn between two racing brothers in a glamorous, high-stakes world of cutthroat competition and danger. Ela loved Jordi Fernandez until jealousy drove them apart, and now she's irresistibly drawn to Checo, whose clandestine romance with Ela could drive Jordi to violence.
Sound like a soap opera?
It's an actual novela – the wildly popular short-run series that flood the Latino television market in North America and beyond – co-produced by Univision and NASCAR to put the down-home American sport of stock car racing in front of millions of Spanish-speaking viewers who might have never watched a NASCAR race.
The blend of speed and cheese will debut on Univision's Web site in a series of five- to seven-minute episodes starting in April before appearing on Univision on May 5. Called Arranque de Pasión, La Historia de Ela, it's an attempt to expand the NASCAR brand into the growing Latino population through a particular form of storytelling.
Nobody knows a lot about NASCAR," said Kate Del Castillo, the famed Mexican actress producing and starring in the novela. "I think we have to get much more exposure for NASCAR. When you think about it, it's all about family, and that's what we like. It's about spending an entire day at the track. It's an experience, a whole day for family, and yet it's very dangerous. It's very dramatic. I think it's perfect for us."
NASCAR's entertainment arm realizes it's trying something unusual, but NASCAR vice president of entertainment marketing Zane Stoddard believes novelas are one way to crack a market that's been targeted for a decade with varying success.
NASCAR already had worked with Univision to put a racing-themed storyline into an existing show 18 months earlier. Last summer, NASCAR decided an original novela was an idea just crazy enough to work <0x2014> a unique chance to expand the Spanish-speaking world's awareness of its sport.
"It's our opportunity to meet them where they're at, within the genres they're already invested in," Stoddard said. "I feel like our sport is uniquely accessible in terms of relationships, family and all the things that drive television shows."
Like every pro sports organization in North America, NASCAR has realized the importance of courting Latino fans <0x2014> and a connection with stock car racing isn't far-fetched at all.
The NASCAR Mexico Toyota Series is in its seventh season under the NASCAR banner, fueling a growing boom in oval track racing in Mexico. NASCAR says its Sprint Cup series ratings among Hispanic viewers are up 27 percent on Fox this season, with year-by-year increases for each of the five races so far.
Gillian Zucker, the president of Fontana's Auto Club Speedway, markets aggressively to Latino racing fans in a state where Latinos will make up a plurality of the population by next year. Roughly 40 percent of her track's customers identify as Latino, and she hired singer Lupillo Rivera to perform for fans at last weekend's NASCAR race in which Del Castillo was the honorary starter.
Del Castillo became fascinated by auto racing when she participated in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race in Long Beach, Calif., last year. After crashing out on the last lap <0x2014> "which felt good, sorry to say," she said with a grin <0x2014> she decided to find a project that would put her in the racing milieu.
"It was out of nowhere, but I couldn't be happier or luckier," she said. "I never would have thought that NASCAR is so into it. They've been so nice, providing us everything. They've all been amazing."
After Univision and Del Castillo's production company assembled a crew of creative talent, NASCAR watched over the proceedings for authenticity and content. The unlikely combination apparently worked for both the NASCAR executives and the Latino stars and producers <0x2014> maybe because fast cars and beautiful people aren't a tough sell in any language.
"Creative people come into this environment, and it's like a kid in a candy store because it's such a visceral overload," Stoddard said. "Because the novela is such a specific kind of story, very dramatic, we didn't want to pretend we understood the kind of storytelling that takes place in novelas. We know what we know, and we know what we don't know. We rely primarily on them to begin with the story and then allow us to be a sounding board, to layer authenticity over it."
"Arranque de Pasion" is set in a fictional NASCAR universe, which means nobody should expect Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Clint Bowyer to be polishing their Spanish for a cameo. Much of the filming was done at Homestead Miami Speedway in authentic stock cars, although Del Castillo didn't actually get to drive them while playing Ela.
"I'm grateful for that," she said. "They're very expensive cars."

Malcolm Turnbull's Taxing Times
09/02/2016 9:55 AM AEDT | Updated 15/07/2016 12:51 PM AEST
John Hewson Professor, Crawford School ANU, and former Opposition Leader
Poor strategy, weak leadership, a squandered opportunity? The tax reform debacle was all of those things.
You can reasonably ask what on earth were Malcom Turnbull and Scott Morrison thinking they were doing when it came to tax reform.
The arrival of Turnbull brought forth an enormous sigh of relief, right across the electorate. He looked and sounded like a leader. He certainly didn't make us "cringe" when he attended international meetings and important occasions. He seemed willing to address the key issues, and seemed committed to restoring growth, confidence and social cohesion.
He has been very eloquent. Expectations have mounted. But he seems to lack a clear strategy, and he has been doing very little actual governing.
The idea of inviting all to "put their tax options on the table", without a realistic assessment of our economic circumstances and prospects, and without an overarching fiscal strategy, simply meant expectations ran wild, with the sum of "preferred options" soon far exceeding any government's capacity to deliver.
There is simply not enough revenue, even with a 15 percent GST, to fund the handing back of bracket creep, with net personal tax cuts, a significant reduction in the corporate tax rate, along with adequate direct compensation to benefit recipients, while funding the medium term demands of the States for schools and hospitals, let alone completing the NDIS, the NBN and a host of infrastructure projects.
And this would probably still be the case if GST revenue was augmented by a reduction in superannuation tax concessions, a paring back of negative gearing, a genuine crack down on multinationals, a reduction of capital gains tax concessions, and so on.
These are all the key elements "expected" of tax "reform". But even if all this had been welded together as a "package", many would still have been disappointed with the outcomes. The Government's strategy of encouraging all options, without any leadership, or specification of priorities, was always going to fail, and risk raising broader concerns about overall lack of leadership, strategy, and commitment.
The community was allowed to see tax reform as something of a "magic pudding", where every group could have what they wanted, in a brave new world of growth and contentment.
But, once again, short-term political considerations have neutered genuine tax reform. Turnbull has bowed to a weak attack by the Opposition, and some squeaking form his own backbench, without giving reform a genuine chance.
They made no attempt to mount a genuine reform agenda. That would require three key stages:
Worse still, not only was such a strategy absent, but Morrison, in particular, kept claiming the undeliverable, namely that he could "fix" the Budget by further cutting expenditure, while reforming tax, with no increase in the overall tax burden.
While expenditure can always be trimmed as government is made more efficient, the reality is that government spending sits at about 26 percent of GDP, while revenue is a mere 23 percent of GNP -- a gap of some $45 billion -- with revenue prospects being consistently scaled back by global events, our weak growth, poor wages growth, weakening corporate profitability, low inflation, and so on.
The overall tax burden will need to increase if governments are to meet the medium-term expenditure aspirations of the community.
This is a reality that must be accepted as a foundation for any realistic tax reform debate.
Turnbull ditched the GST increase, as a central element of a tax reform package, on the grounds that he couldn't see that it would stimulate growth. Be sure of one thing -- doing little or nothing in terms of genuine tax reform, over and over, and expecting better growth results, comes very close to confirming Einstein's definition of insanity.
Of course, GST is but one element of genuine tax reform, as is tax reform but one element of an overarching economic strategy to boost national productivity.
With our economy struggling to make an effective and sustainable transition from a resources boom, to whatever, in an increasingly difficult global growth environment, the challenge for the Turnbull Government in the forthcoming Budget is to spell out the detail of this overarching strategy, and to delineate a broad-based policy reform agenda, including tax, but also IR, education and training, innovation/technology, and so on, to achieve it.
Clearly, Turnbull is focused on winning the next election by talking a lot, but doing as little as possible, so as to minimise any electoral disenchantment, so as to preserve his popularity.
This minimalist strategy will surely get him re-elected, with Shorten as his best asset, but without the essential mandate -- against a still-hostile Senate -- with which he could hope to provide genuine leadership and reform.

text: Double First: A Ukrainian group of companies breaks ground — first by changing the governing law of its high yield bonds from US to English law and then by being the first Ukrainian-based group to restructure via an English law scheme of arrangement The Debate: Chapter 11 vs Scheme of Arrangement The restructuring market has for some time been engaged in a spirited debate about the appropriate forum in which to restructure US law governed high yield (HY) bonds issued by European and American corporates. Which is more appropriate, in the US by way of a Chapter 11 or London via the scheme of arrangement? Given that NY law generally governs HY bonds, Chapter 11 is the typical knee-jerk response. However, a multitude of corporates worldwide have in recent years already turned to the scheme, for its flexibility, dependability, reduced stigma (it is a Companies Act, as opposed to an Insolvency Act process), low cost (in comparison to a full-blown Chapter 11) and for the English court's ever-increasing amenability to accept jurisdiction – see the use of schemes to restructure in cases such as Gallery (2010), Magyar (2013), Zlomrex (2013) and New World Resources (2014). These companies have accomplished this by shifting their 'centre of main interests' (COMI) to the UK as a way of establishing 'sufficient connection' required for English courts to accept jurisdiction for the purposes of a scheme. The DTEK scheme goes one step further and may prove pivotal to the Chapter 11 vs Scheme debate, squarely in the latter's favour. In the DTEK case, the English Court recognised jurisdiction prima facie on the basis of DTEK's HY notes' governing law and jurisdiction clause, which had been purposively changed from New York to English law in order to get jurisdiction for a scheme. Moreover, the DTEK decision has potentially far wider ramifications than last year's Apcoa1 case (as explained below). What Happened in the DTEK Scheme? Background The DTEK group of companies (the Group), advised by Latham & Watkins,2 is the largest privately owned energy business in Ukraine and comprises coal mining, power generation, electricity distribution and sales. DTEK is responsible for the supply of electrical power and heat to a significant proportion of domestic and industrial end users in Ukraine. The recent civil disturbance and political instability in Ukraine and its strained relations with Russia significantly and negatively impacted the Group's business and financial condition (including as a result of the severe devaluation of the Ukrainian hryvnia). Consequently, DTEK found itself facing the prospect of failing to redeem its outstanding US$200 million Latham & Watkins May 5, 2015 | Number 1825 | Page 2 9.5 percent Senior Notes (the Notes) on their maturity date of 28 April 2015. Failure to redeem the Notes could have produced enormous knock-on effects across the Group's capital structure, or indeed, across the Ukrainian economy. A twin-tracked path DTEK Finance BV (DTEK), the entity which issued the Notes, embarked on a twin-tracked exchange offer/consent solicitation (Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation) with a fall-back of an English law scheme of arrangement (Scheme) process, aiming to cancel/release the Notes (and underlying guarantees) and issue new notes. The new notes were to be issued on substantially the same terms but with a maturity date of March 2018, at an exchange ratio of 80 percent of the par value of the Notes and a cash consideration of 20 percent of such par value. The company sought to exchange the Notes solely on the condition that it received valid tenders from at least 98 percent of the Noteholders, absent which it would seek to implement the deal via the Scheme. When it was clear the exchange offer threshold had not been met, DTEK considered the Scheme process was in the best interests of all creditors by ensuring a better return and would preserve the value of the business. Consenting Noteholders were automatically deemed to have (a) approved the change in governing law from New York to English, and (b) to have voted in favour of the Scheme. This process proved an efficient and effective way to meet the scheme voting threshold; by the time of the Scheme creditors' meeting, well over 75 percent in value and 50 percent in number (of those present and voting) had been locked up to vote in favour of the Scheme. DTEK moved through the whole Scheme process in record time – a mere three and a half weeks as compared to the usual six to eight weeks (see timeline in the endnotes).3 Change of governing law A simple majority vote was required to change the governing law and jurisdiction of the Notes, as well as the Notes' indenture and some of the underlying guarantees, from New York to English law. As it turned out, 88.6 percent of Noteholders — well beyond the required threshold — had offered their consent by 9 April 2015, which allowed DTEK to enter into a supplemental indenture expressly subject to English law. The change of governing law, as DTEK had carefully explained to Noteholders, was primarily aimed at establishing the English court's jurisdiction to hear the application for the Scheme. Using English law as the governing law of the debt documentation subject to the Scheme's proposals provided an unequivocal 'sufficient connection' to the English courts. This is the first time an English court has ruled on a change of governing law as an effective and independent path to jurisdiction in respect of HY notes. Rose J (as per her judgment) was satisfied that the change of law alone had conferred on the court jurisdiction to approve the Scheme. She additionally accepted jurisdiction on the basis of: • The governing law of the Ukrainian Opco guarantees being governed by English law • DTEK's effective COMI shift from the Netherlands to England • The presence of assets in the UK by way of cash in a London bank account Latham & Watkins May 5, 2015 | Number 1825 | Page 3 The challenge and the response A hedge fund investing in distressed debt which claimed to hold a beneficial interest in a substantial proportion of the Notes initiated a challenge shortly before the Scheme convening hearing. The fund raised a number of areas it saw as contentious, mainly that the change of governing law required more than 90 percent consent because it would 'impair' and 'affect' rights of creditors to bring enforcement proceedings. In response, DTEK garnered expert evidence from former Judge James M. Peck4 (a retired high-profile United States Bankruptcy Judge in the Southern District of New York, now practicing insolvency law with an international law firm in New York) in order to prove that only a bare majority vote was required. DTEK, with the invaluable assistance and support of Judge Peck, accordingly countered that: • A change of governing law would not 'impair or affect' a bondholder's right to receive payment or to bring (enforcement) proceedings and therefore did not require a 90 percent resolution. The plain language of the Indenture provided that a change of governing law could be modified based on consent of holders of a majority of the Notes; parties never intended to require 90 percent consent (reserved for so-called 'sacred rights') for such a change and if they had so wanted, they could have expressly provided for the higher threshold to apply to a change in governing law. • Parties' freedom to contract is paramount and embedded in US and European law and public policy alike; therefore taking steps to establish the jurisdiction of a court to preserve the viability of a business should be permitted. As per Rose J: "The indenture governing the 2015 Notes has always included provision for the possible change of governing law. This was, therefore, part of the bargain that the noteholders signed up to." • Extensive precedents show that a US federal court or New York state court would: (a) extend comity to the judgement approving the Scheme; and (b) grant Chapter 15 recognition of the Scheme based on DTEK's COMI (or alternatively establishment) in England (to that end, Rose J helpfully confirmed that DTEK had successfully moved its COMI to England). On the eve of the sanction hearing, further votes came in which took the approval number to over 90 percent and for that and other reasons the dissentient creditor withdrew its challenge, which led Rose J to comment: "There is some debate about whether New York law requires a 50 per cent or 90 per cent approval before the change is binding on all noteholders but this does not matter since consent was given to the change by over 90 per cent of the noteholders." The challenger fund also raised a class composition issue on the basis that the 3 percent 'early bird fee' offered to all Noteholders had, according to the fund, induced Noteholders to tender their Notes (which they would not have done otherwise). DTEK countered that the fee was immaterial to Noteholders' decision whether or not to participate and produced supporting evidence revealing discussions between DTEK's dealer manager and certain Noteholders which backed this up. Rose J was satisfied that the fee did not create two classes or go to the fairness of the Scheme. Significance and Implications The wider implications of this judgment should not be underestimated. It may well enable both European and, crucially, US-based issuers of US law governed HY bonds to use the English scheme of arrangement as a way out of the typical HY Indenture unanimity/90 percent threshold conundrum and Latham & Watkins May 5, 2015 | Number 1825 | Page 4 instead restructure via a scheme, which only requires 75 percent of noteholders by value and a majority in number to consent. Crucially, both these tests only apply to those 'present and voting' at the creditors' meeting. Compared to a full-blown Chapter 11 process, the English scheme of arrangement is undoubtedly a cheaper and faster way out of distress. It is also not an insolvency process. US issuers may not be as concerned about the US-style litigation inherent in the Chapter 11 process, but they could certainly be swayed by the heftier costs involved and the generally lengthier period required for the debtor to exit its Chapter 11. That is not to say that Chapter 11 is not fit for purpose; it does have a number of features which are absent from the scheme of arrangement, such as an effective moratorium; a 'cross-class' cram-down; the rejection of executory contracts and the process enables access to debtor-in-possession financing. Apcoa is Limited in Practice; DTEK has Potentially Wider Ramifications Apcoa was all about changing the governing law of bank debt documentation from German to English so as to facilitate a scheme of arrangement. The resulting 'Apcoa I' judgment generated much media heat but not much light about its deeper implications. In retrospect, Apcoa II's precedent value will be of limited value where the governing law (and jurisdiction) change relates to post-2012 bank debt, as opposed to bond debt, as most English (and German) law governed loan documentation will be based on the revised leveraged finance standard published by the Loan Market Association (LMA) in September 2012, in which the LMA recommended a governing law change to be a matter for all-lender consent. Apcoa I is only of potential use to deals with pre-2012 majority consent documentation and possibly to continental European borrowers (e.g. Spanish, French and Italian borrowers) with local law governed bank documents which veer away from the LMA standard and towards majority, as opposed to unanimous, consent regarding a change in governing law. Moreover, many continental European bank deals (whether pre or post 2012) are constructed with English law already baked in as the governing law – that was the route into a scheme of arrangement for Spanish companies such as La Seda de Barcelona (2010), Cortefiel (2012, 2014) and Orizonia (2013). There is a wave of HY maturities on the horizon – in Europe, $178 billion of maturities in 2018 and $183 billion in 2019 and in the US, $170 billion in 2018 and $224 billion in 20195 – and if that maturity wall translates into a tide of restructurings, then the DTEK gateway into a scheme may well become the blueprint, wherever the issuer is based – the EU, US or indeed globally. Conclusion In conclusion, the DTEK Scheme has moved the Chapter 11 vs Scheme debate considerably, giving US governed HY issuers — European and US alike — much better access to a very powerful rescue tool; the English scheme. In validating the established principles in last year's Apcoa case, but going the extra mile, the DTEK Scheme will undoubtedly serve as an incredibly useful precedent.

Modeling transmission system (urgent)
Hi guys:
I am modeling whole transmission system to see flow behaviour in various section of it (basically different gears and clutch pack which made of friction disks). Now the friction disks have many many grooves in it. It is impossible to model the friction disk with grooves, the CFD model without the friction disks is already more than 8 million cells. Now how can I model the friction disk space? I dont have any experimental data. Can I add all the surface area (through which the flow passes) of the grooves and make a groove with diameter which will give me the same surface area of the combined grooves? Any other idea?
|All times are GMT -4. The time now is 12:01.

Kill Devil is a Japanese movie about a group of juvenile delinquents in the year 2025. The juveniles are host to a "murder gene", and are sent to an uninhabited island by the government so that they can be rehabilitated. The government studies the causes of the gene, and implants an experiment on the juveniles called a "Tag". The Tag gives the juveniles murder impulses and memory loss, and both boys and girls start to brutally kill each other.

I posted about Dean Ford a few weeks ago, however I wanted to get a second review done on his new album, CTRL. It's clear that Dean really stepped up for this CD, the style he brings to his music isn't copied, he's beginning to get a real original feeling to his music, something that some millionaire artists are still striving to do.
Don't let his mohawk scare you, Dean really pulls together a classy album with all the special little touches you want inside…You know, the good touches, not the bad touches. The beats make you want to keep listening; sometimes they point you into the direction of like.. Night at the Roxbury, which makes me want to do the Butabi headbang, which probably isn't good for me but neither is cheese.
Instead of being focused around repetitive lyrics, CTRL tells a story about life, women and everything I could only wish to be, there was some real thought put onto this new release. There's really no lows to Dean's work on this album. As noted in one of my past articles, if you're into "alternative pop", Dean will most likely appeal to you.
CTRL is out for Digital Download via his bandcamp website for any Northern Maine folk for only $5 (includes a seventh special single!) – or it's available at most Bull Moose stores downstate. Great price for some classy music from an awesome artist who definitely is striving to impress his fans.
Anyone in the Portland-Metro area looking to see Dean live (he's freakin' awesome, I promise) can check him out at the Portland Bull Moose for their Record Store day on April 21st at 6 P.M.
If Dean's music tickles your fancy and/or other assorted ligaments, then check him out on FB here!
