If you could have a chance to redo your life, what would you do?
There is a saying, "Regret always comes late."
Everyone has regret. Thus, many people always ask, "Why all of this happens? Why did I do this? Oh, if only I could have a second chance." These questions always come to us frequently.
Well, although this question doesn't make sense as we can't redo our life, I am just curious about your answers.

As we wind up the HealthFlock Blog, I think it is important to leave healthcare providers and consumers with a listing of the top 5 things they should look for as healthcare reform initiatives are implemented.
1. Increase in Patient Accountability
Healthcare reimbursement is changing to remit payment based upon the patients' outcomes instead of the number of patient visits. Specifically, state and federal healthcare programs will pay providers based upon whether or not the patient had a quality outcome and avoided unnecessary admissions, tests or visits. In order to achieve quality outcomes, providers are focused upon engaging patients to be more accountable for their health. Likewise, healthcare payors are modifying payor programs to make patients more responsible financially for out-of-pocket expenses. Many self-insured employer plans are already modifying premiums and benefits for employees who engage in a wellness program, have good nutrition practices or

An experimental and influential airplane is the latest exhibit at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum.
Rockwell Collins donated the North American Sabreliner 50 to the McMinnville museum. It will go on display next week.
The 1964 model plane was acquired by the company in 1976 and was utilized for many significant flight test projects leading to innovations that are used today in commercial and military avionics, said Stewart Bailey, Evergreen's curator.
Rockwell Collins made many modifications to the Sabreliner 50, including its unique-looking, custom-made interchangeable large nose. It was built to house airborne weather radar technology that is now used in more than 5,000 aircrafts around the world.
Rockwell Collins decided to retire the Sabreliner because of its age and associated cost of maintenance.
The aircraft was flown for 8,000 hours and made more than 5,000 landings.
"We are very thankful to Rockwell Collins for retiring the aircraft to the museum and giving us the opportunity to educate visitors with the aircraft," Bailey said. "We understand how influential this airplane was for the aviation industry."
The plane joins more than 250 other aviation and space artifacts at the museum.
Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum is located at 500 N.E. Captain Michael King Smith Way, McMinnville. For more information, go to EvergreenMuseum.org.

Recent Interviews
Catalyst Check: Updating the Progress of Energy Stocks on the Natural Resources Watchlist (7/17/14) At the beginning of June, The Gold Report assembled an all-star expert team to create a Natural Resources Watchlist, a promising portfolio of mining and energy companies with upcoming catalysts such as a maiden NI 43-101, funding from a strategic partner, a permitting milestone or a feasibility study. Keith Schaefer, editor and publisher of the Oil & Gas Investments Bulletin, and Rick Rule, CEO of Sprott US Holdings Inc., proposed five energy companies with many resources at play. A lot has happened since that discussion in Vancouver. The total portfolio is up 14% as of today. Let's check in to see how the individual energy stocks are faring.
Leave No Rock Unturned to Find Natural Resource Stocks with Game-Changing Catalysts (6/9/14) Renowned investor Peter Lynch once said, "The person who turns over the most rocks wins the game." All resource investors should be turning over rocks, but who has time to track hundreds of companies, to visit projects, to meet with management? The Gold Report has asked Sprott's Rick Rule, Canaccord Genuity's Joe Mazumdar and Oil & Gas Investments Bulletin's Keith Schaefer to identify a select group of natural resource companies they feel are poised to make a move before the end of the year. We will be tracking these precious metals and oil & gas companies with game-changing catalysts on the newly launched Natural Resources Watchlist.
The Most Important Question Top Stock Pickers Keith Schaefer, Eric Coffin and Lawrence Roulston Ask Company Presidents (2/18/14) Payback time? Fallback plan? Money in the bank?

In advance of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada convention in March, newsletter writers Keith Schaefer, Eric Coffin and Lawrence Roulston are bringing 15 energy and mining companies together for a "meet the management" Subscriber Investment Summit in Toronto. In this interview with The Mining Report, the experts share their sometimes surprising responses to the state of the industry.

With radical Islamists and jihadists in control of a strategic area of the Levant; with the Lebanese army engaging Al Qaeda-linked elements; and with Syria building its forces along its border with Israel, it looks like it's going to be a long summer. News even comes today of a rocket attack on Israel from Lebanon.
It made me think of my old "Arab Street" chart. This is a handy little line graph plotting the number of times "Arab street" is used in the context of Middle East conflict. Leftists, academics and even Islamists use the term in hyperbolic fashion whenever they want to argue that any American or Israeli military action will spark a pitchfork revolution in the streets of the Arab world.
Alas! The much-anticipated Revolution never comes, for reasons I mention here and here. However, that doesn't stop folks from talking about it as if it's a real phenomenon. There is a casual relationship between the number of times the phrase is used in the mainstream media and the timing of any U.S. or Israeli action in the region. This has convinced me that the idea is the figment of some sort of collective, liberal imagination.
I came to this conclusion when I was a CT analyst, but at least I'm not the only one. Fouad Ajami, a man much smarter than I, mentioned this when he was discussing the sad, sorry state of Middle East studies programs in the United States with conservative talk show host Dennis Prager.
...Middle Eastern Studies today ironically has more of the spirit of Edward Said than it does the spirit of--and the talent, and the craft--of Bernard Lewis. Bernard Lewis, 91 years of age, one of the great scholars of our time and of this last century is basically an outsider to Middle Eastern Studies. I mean, I am an outsider to Middle Eastern Studies, but forget me I'm not that large a figure. Bernard is unique, but they are invested--they romanticize the Arab street. They're invested in Arab radicalism and they believe in American guilt fundamentally. They believe that our country is responsible for the ills and the decay and the maladies of the Arab world.
With war appearing to be inevitable, here is my chart. I predict that when I return to this chart in a month or two, June and July may see spikes of activity. It's the return of the Arab street, folks. A little bit of worthless, leftist fantasy reading for your summer vacation.

Neji falls out a window . . . ShikaNeji Yaoi
Title: And You're a Bitch
Summary: Neji falls out a window . . . ShikaNeji
Warnings: Yaoi Cussing Kinda OOC and Crack
Couple: ShikamaruNeji
Written By: Shino (AKA Demonluvr or Bitch Slap Love)
Inspired By: The story 'Bootleg Christmas volume 1' by YaoiS . . . I think . . . chapter 7: 'A Troublesome Christmas' . . . . and windows =D (FF.net)
Short =__=
And You're A Bitch
Neji was sitting on his windowsill looking out watching the snow drift and spin towards the ground. He sighed. He was growing cold but didn't really feel like moving. He was sitting with one leg out the window draped over the edge, the other on the ledge and his arms wrapped around his knee. He reached up lazily, caught the window frame and was pulling himself back into the room when his door burst open. "Neji-san! Neji-san! Someone is-" Neji had quickly twisted around when the door first opened and saw it was Hinata, but due to the twisting he lost his grip and fell backwards out the window. He squealed in a very un-Neji like way and squeezed his eyes shut. (1)
'Baft?' Neji felt something warm and soft envelope him. He cracked open an eye and smiled. (2) "Hey," He said coolly, hurriedly going back to 'Ice Princess' mode.
"Hello, doll. Didn't know you were that anxious to see me." A voice drawled.
Neji glared at the person who had caught him. "Trust me I'm not. I was trying to save myself from this horrid fate."
The person grimaced, "Ouch. That hurts."
A small glaring battle ensued that ended with Neji leaning up and kissing his 'savior'. "Your being pretty talky today, Shika. Were you out drinking with Genma again?"
A sly smile passed over Shikamaru's lips. "Maybe." He stole a quick kiss before continuing, "They say it's hard to get hard after you've been drinking. Wanna see how much I've drank?"
Neji snorted and looked away. "No. I'd rather trust your word. Now put me down."
"Oh, but I love the feel of your body against mine." Shikamaru smirked, light dancing in his eyes.
"And you're druh-" Neji was cut off by Hinata finally looking out the window and yelling down at them.
"I came to tell you Nara Shikamaru is here for you!" Then, she was gone.
Neji let out a breath, "Really?"
"Really." Neji glared at the man.
"STFU. Now, why're you here? And put me down." Neji glared again and the lazy nin complied.
Neji almost instantly regretted it. He was barefoot and snow covered the ground. He shivered and held onto Shikamaru's arms, in attempt to keep warm. "I'm here to take you to the New Years party Naruto in holding. Because you said, you were going to go." He muttered something about it being troublesome and Neji smiled faintly.
"Drink some orange juice, calm your hormones and I'll be ready in a few. Okay? And don't break anything this time." Neji broke away from the other and jumped back to his window instead of taking the long way.
Shikamaru watched as his lover disappeared through the window, a pout set on his face. Oh well, he'll get his later.
1: Why doesn't he use his uber spiffy cat/dance-like moves and land gracefully? Because I'm writing this damnnut!
2: Ho-god. Who got mauled? :shivers:
'And don't break anything this time.' XD God, I'm sooooooz dead right now but I'm in an extremely good mood cuz Shorty told me he likes me :squee:
I want to write 'Demolition Lovers' but I fricken promised mahself that I would finish either 'Hate Me' or 'High Fevers' or 'Troubles of a Transvestite' first. :pout: Ho-well.
I miss FF.net ;-; mah school blocked it which is why I don't put up stories as much/I got on FicWad =___=

How to Evaluate Startup Ideas
OK, so, here's the question: "How to evaluate a product idea for a startup?"
There are very good resources on the Web, some specifically written for this particular topic, and this note is a mere summary/interpretation of these articles (in my own words). All references which I consulted will be included at the bottom of this note, but I think I'm mostly influenced by Evan Williams' (very well written) article from 2007 and the article/video by Tony Wright. I highly recommend that you check out all the references included here as well as others available on the Web.
So, how do you evaluate product ideas for your startup? There can be multiple factors, and they are all subjective considerations to a large degree. Some might be more important to you than others depending on your particular situation, and more importantly, depending on your personal value system. It should be noted that the following factors are not mutually exclusive. In some cases, one consideration might even be conflicting with another.
[1] Passion:
How passionate are you about the product you are creating? Do you really want it to exist in the world? Are you compelled to do this for the next several years, if not the rest of your life? Do you think it is your mission to create this product? Do you think you should be the one working on this product? This is a very personal question. The idea does not have to be about world peace or curing cancers, but something you are really passionate about.
[2] Tractability:
How easy will it be for you to create a version 1.0 product? How difficult will it be to launch a worthwhile version 1.0? Often we use the term MVP (coined by Eric Ries). This criterion is about the threshold to reach that "minimum viability" in terms of the required resources and the time it takes to reach that point, etc. Often people tend to emphasize the "minimum" part of MVP, but the more crucial question is, how hard will it be to reach the "viability". This is an important factor to consider if you are a small startup.
[3] Novelty:
Is the idea new? Is it an invention or re-invention? Is there a competition? Is there an exiting market? This is a complex issue. In general, creating a new market is virtually impossible for a startup with limited marketing resources. Therefore, completely new ideas are discouraged. On the other hand, new ideas face generally less competition. Ideally, the products should belong to an established category with an exiting market, but have a clear differentiation (or, other competitive advantages). Note that a new idea is generally more tractable (e.g., due to less competition, etc.).
[4] Obviousness:
Is the idea obvious? Is it obvious why people should use your product or service? Is it clear how to use it? Is it easy to explain? Does it have an obvious business model? The same caveat as in novelty applies to obviousness as well. Non obvious ideas will face less competition. On the other hand, non obvious ideas will generally be much harder to implement and execute, and communicate. Often, the best ideas are the obvious ideas which nobody have thought about.
[5] Value:
How valuable would your product be to your target customer? How deeply could you imagine impacting the life of your customer? How much value can you ultimately deliver to your customer? A "value" is a subjective measure. It could mean anything, including monetary reward. Can your product help your customer make or save money? Different products deliver different types of values. E.g., is it a vitamin or a pain killer? Also, your products may cater to more than one category of customers. E.g., an e-commerce platform serving both merchants and shoppers.
[6] Market:
This is the second part of the value proposition, in terms of reach. How many people's lives can your product affect in the long run? How big is, or could be, your market? How many people may ultimately use your product? How will people learn about your product? Big market means more potential revenue but more competition. However, small market is not necessarily better for a small startup. "Marketability", "discoverability", or "virality" of your product, etc. are also important part of market analysis. Niches with clearly defined, and inexpensive, marketing channels are ideal for startups. (Note: You can divide this item into two: One for the market size and the other for the accessibility of the market or the distribution channels, etc.)
[7] Cause:
Is your product (or could it be) worth talking about? This question is closely related to the value (depth) and market (breadth) criteria, but not always. If your product has clear benefits to consumers, then people often recommend it to other people. More so, if your product has mass appeal (e.g., not a niche product). In addition, some ideas are simply worth talking about, which I call it having a "cause". Does your product support a cause? For example, "green" is a good cause, and "helping others" is a good cause (e.g., Charity Water). Also, you will be more passionate about ideas which people find worth talking about.
[8] Timing:
Many products fail or succeed mainly due to its timing. "Timing" is related to market opportunities as well as technological risks. Is your product too early? Is the market going to be ready when the product is released? Is your product too late? Are there any big incumbents in the market? Is the industry consolidated or going through consolidation? Can your idea be implemented using the current, or near future, technologies? Is the infrastructure available to deliver your products/services? Is this a good time to release your product?
[9] Expertise:
Your domain knowledge can be a make-or-break factor in many cases. The more you are familiar with your product industry, the more likely you will succeed with that product idea. The less time you will end up spending learning/wasting, and you will have clear advantage over other competitors who have less domain knowledge than you do. Often, you may have to ask yourself, "Am I the right person for this idea?" An idea might be a good one, just not for you.
[10] Defensibility:
Are you in a defensible position against any current competitions with respect to your ideas? Or, against any future competitions, or copycats and knockoff artists? It could be your expertise in the domain (technical or non-technical). It could be your technology. It could be IP such as patents on your ideas or trademarks. Consumer web products are not very defensible, in general, unless you are a first mover in the field and your product is "sticky" or it has inherent network effect, etc. Otherwise, you'll need large capital.
[11] Monetizability:
How hard will it be to extract money from your product or service? Is there a good ratio of revenue per customer (LTV) and cost of customer acquisition (CAC)? Does your product create recurring revenue? Not all ideas are, or don't have to be, for profit, and so I am listing this near the end. But, your ideas are merely ideas until you have clear business model. Especially, for small bootstrapping startups, this is one of the more important criteria when you are evaluating ideas. You have to be concerned with not just how to make money, but how to make money as early as possible. Ideas with clear business models are better ones.
[12] Fundability:
I am not sure if "fundability" is a word. :) I just wanted to use a single word for each criterion (for some odd reason). Is your idea fundable? What's the capital requirement for your business? If you are planning to build a product, which takes a long time to monetize or to reach a profitability, or which requires big capital, you may need to seek outside funding at some point (angel or venture capital). For such ideas, the fundability is an important criterion. There are a lot of good resources on the Web regarding what kind of products/businesses VCs typically fund.
Add more, if you wish…
I've created a table with 12 criterion columns, and each idea on a row. This is a "live" document. In the next few days or weeks, until you make a commitment on one idea (or, more), you will constantly evaluate these ideas. Over time, you will learn more and your ideas will change. This table will change as well.
How to use the evaluation table:
Come up with a simple scale. A three value system, with 1 being positive, 0 neutral, and -1 negative, might be good enough in most cases. Or, you can use 1 through 5 scale with 3 being neutral, etc. You don't probably want to use a system with too fine scales since these are really arbitrary and subjective measures and you cannot be "precise".
Evaluate each of your ideas for each criterion. Just to be clear, the 12 criteria above do not have one dimensional up and down scales. For example, being novel might be a positive characteristic for some ideas, but it might be negative for some other ideas. You are evaluating your "advantage", not as to whether an idea is novel or not (although being novel, or having a clear differentiation, is generally a positive trait). This general principle applies to all other criteria as well.
Once you rate all ideas across all factors, then sum their values or ratings over all factors. You can add an extra column at the end with these rating sums.
Do you think, or agree, or are you convinced, that the ideas with higher ratings are better ideas for you? OK, now it's time for you to go ahead with your best idea(s) and start implementing.
(Note: You can give a different weight to each evaluation criterion. For instance, you might consider "passion" more important than "monetizability", etc. You can use 0~1 weights and do weighted average across different factors. Or, you can try using only a few select criteria which you think are important to you and ignore the rest. For instance, I ignore "expertise" (domain knowledge) since most of my ideas are really consumer products (Web or mobile), which I am familiar with, and not verticals. Also, "fundability" is not a factor for me since I'm bootstrapping my company, and I use "capital requirement" instead. Ideas which require less capital are better ideas for me.)

musical notes of this Puccini masterpiece provide the starting point and
foundation for a new, highly successful collaboration between Riccardo Chailly
and Davide Livermore. In their interpretation, there is "no moment, no
movement, that goes against the musical meaning" (R. Chailly). The result
is an energetic, authentic, and atmospherically strong Bohème, "in which every sacred phrase receives its own
orchestral colour, its own dynamic and its own expression." (Corriere della Sera)
Mahler 6
Riccardo Chailly & Gewandhaus Orchestra
In September
2012, Riccardo Chailly and the Gewandhaus Orchestra continued their successful
Mahler cycle and presented Mahler's 6th Symphony at the Leipzig Gewandhaus.
The Violin Concerto in E minor by
Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy is featuring Nicolaj Znaider, whom the "Daily
Telepraph" describes as "the most
stimulating young musician playing today, drawing on musical intelligence,
perception and dynamism to give performances of rare intensity."

Ravel – Sibelius - Ligeti
the Lucerne Festival 2012, Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker
continued their cycle: "Moving to Modern Times". The evening started off with
György Ligeti's "Atmosphères" fading into Richard Wagner's Overture to
Lohengrin. Jean Sibelius' 4th Symphony followed and the audience
then enjoyed Claude Debussy's "Jeux" and Maurice Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloé".
Sir Simon Rattle challenged the audience by stretching the musical arc from
Wagner to Ligeti: an exciting programme combination resulting in one of the
highlights of this festival.
Lucerne Festival 2012 was dedicated to the relationship of music and hope. In the opening concert, Claudio Abbado and the Lucerne
Festival Orchera presented Mozart's Requiem as well as the Beethoven's Incidental Music to Goethe's tragedy Egmont. With Juliane Banse, Anna Prohaska, Sara Mingardo,
Maximilian Schmitt and René Pape as soloists and Bruno Ganz as narrator, this concert was once again a special musical experience of highest artistic quality.

soloist Hélène Grimaud performing Ravel's Piano Concerto in G Major. This piece
is the perfect match for this enthusiastic ensemble – one of Europe's finest
orchestras with their energetic maestro and the passionate Grimaud. The
"Tagesspiegel" enthusiastically praised how "Hélène Grimaud played this
devilishly difficult piece with a lightness... which made you only want to hear
it performed by her. She conveyed an encounter with Ravel's music with an
intensity and presence, which completely bewitched."
ACCENTUS Music proudly presents Johann Sebastian
Bach's St. Matthew Passion - live from St. Thomas Church Leipzig. The
concert will be performed by the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the St
Thomas Boys Choir and a team of acclaimed soloists conducted by
Thomaskantor, Georg
Christoph Biller.
In March 2012 the St. Thomas Boys Choir Leipzig celebrates its 800th anniversary - promptly for this unique centenary anniversary the choir appears in a full-length documentary film on the big screen for the first time. Through their personal stories, a sensitive portrayal of the St. Thomas Boys emerges, which raises questions about the fascination of the traditional ensemble.

"Night" was
the motto of Lucerne Summer Festival 2011. Accordingly, the Berliner Philharmoniker
under Sir Simon Rattle explored in their Lucerne series "Moving to Modern Times"
the phenomenon of the night by pairing up in an outstanding concert the late
romantic Anton Bruckner with England's greatest modern composer, Benjamin

"Abbado's approach to the music of Bruckner is soft
and songlike, at times tense and urgent, but constantly filled with warmth of
feeling" – not only the Neue
Zürcher Zeitung is full of
praise when Claudio Abbado and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra play Bruckner.
For many
music lovers, Christine Schäfer's Mozart interpretations are a revelation. Her
artistry is as powerful as ever, as this program featuring Concert Arias by
Mozart, with Claudio Abbado conducting his hand-picked Lucerne Festival
Orchestra, documents.
Claudio Abbado and his
exquisite Lucerne Festival Orchestra have taken Mahler's most complex and
compelling symphonies to a new level in audiovisual recording.

The highlight of the International Mahler Festival in Leipzig in May 2011 was the final performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 8 - the so called "Symphony of a Thousand". Riccardo
Chailly commanded almost five hundred musicians in this monumental Mahler symphony, a work which the
composer regarded as his Opus Summum.
At Leipzig's
International Mahler Festival, to mark the centenary of Mahler's death, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and their Music Director Riccardo
performed his monumental Second Symphony in the Gewandhaus – together
with two
marvellous soloists and choral forces quite beyond compare.
The soloists of The Philharmonics – an ensemble made up of musicians from the Vienna Philharmonic – perform Johann Strauß's waltzes arranged by Arnold Schönberg, Anton Webern und Alban Berg in an original Viennese Coffeehouse.

The world premiere of the opera "Metanoia" by Jens Joneleit opens the first season of the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in the Schiller Theater on 3 October 2010.
The Closing Gala Concert from Lucerne Festival in Summer 2010 could not have been more colorful. Gustavo Dudamel and the Wiener Philharmoniker framed their concluding concert with the sound of drums: a drum roll and an insistent rhythm, respectively.
Claudio Abbado and his hand-picked players of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra take their acclaimed Mahler cycle to a new level with this audiovisual recording of the most complex and compelling of the symphonies, the intense, searching Ninth.
2010 marks the 300th anniversary of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1710 – 1784), the eldest son of Johann Sebastian Bach. On the occassion of this event the Bachchor Mainz celebrates the rediscovery of his cantatas in the impressive Augustinerkirche in Mainz.
"Sechs ausverkaufte Abende lang zehrt Barenboim von seinem Ruf als konditionsstärkster Interpret dieses Erdballs – und dem Klang seiner Staatskapelle. Als traumhaftes Wagner-Orchester mit grandiosem Einsatz hat sie einen Platz im Bruckner-Olymp verdient." Der Tagesspiegel, Berlin
Concerning to the 85th birthday of the famous composer, conductor and music theorist Pierre Boulez the Berlin state opera "Unter den Linden" devoted an extraordinary Homage.
In 2010, the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela was orchestra in residence at the Lucerne Festival at Easter. Under the baton of their strong supporter Claudio Abbado, the orchestra once again reached out to the audience on the opening concert, spreading its lively enthusiasm on a highest musical level for which it is famous and loved for.
The unique recording of Chopin's Piano Concertos featuring Evgeny Kissin and Nikolai Demidenko marks Frédéric Chopin's 200th anniversary. The Russian star pianists are accompanied by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Antoni Wit.
Chopin Year 2010 coincides with the 60th anniversary of Daniel Barenboim's stage début, and as a pianist he has decided to devote this year to the great Romantic master of the keyboard.

I personally like using omen and TP together. Some bosses tend to be so large that you never even see their hitbox and the warning sound from Omen is a clear reminder to me that I have a threat drop ability and should use it. Though since the threat hotfix I haven't heard that sound once, I'm contemplating removing Omen next time it calls for an update.

2002 Kia Spectra Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 12 reviews
It's hard to say goodbye, but in 2002 Kia's first American model, the Sephia sedan, was no more. Actually, it was rebadged as the 2002 Kia Spectra sedan, joining the Spectra hatchback as the economy compact offering in the Kia lineup. The 2002 Spectra sedan came in base and LS trims, which mirrored the GS and GSX trims of the sportier hatchback. For 2002, both models received new front and rear lights and a new grille, with the LS getting additional grille chrome accents. Foglights were now standard on both the LS sedan and GSX hatchback.
The powertrain remains the same -- a 1.8-liter, 125-hp DOHC I4 engine and standard 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic. Both the base sedan and hatchback are sparsely equipped, with 14-inch tires, intermittent wipers, power steering, and a cassette player. Opting for the LS or GSX adds power features, air conditioning, cruise control, alloy wheels, a tilt steering wheel, and adjustable seat cushion for the drivers. The GSX hatchback also adds a rear spoiler, rear window wiper, air dams, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, to give the impression of a sportier ride. Seats in all models split-fold 60/40. On the outside, both cars look very similar, and it's hard to tell which is the hatchback. A slightly more sloped roofline and the rear hatch opening are the telltale signs. The hatch liftgate offers a cubic foot more of cargo space than the sedan.
The backseat is cramped for adults, but the 2002 Spectra makes a good personal starter car or first family car. The base price and long-term warranty are the biggest highlights, but owners also say the handling and steering are surprisingly agile and smooth. Front seats are comfortable, gas mileage is good, and the hatchback cargo space is large for a compact car. Downsides include many mechanical and electrical problems. Poor quality materials get scratched and dented easily, and flaking paint is unattractive. The trunk release sticks and the tires are not big enough for the car and therefore wear quickly.

ArcelorMittal posted a loss of $780 million over the last three months, the fourth straight quarter that the world's largest steelmaker has lost money.
Production and shipments fell on the year because of soft demand and low prices, but the Luxembourg-based company expects that its business will soon turn a corner. The steelmaker expects a stronger second half and sees market outlook improving, but still cut its profit forecast by 8 percent for the full year.
The company reported a loss of 44 cents per diluted share, missing analysts' expectations it would turn a profit in the second quarter. ArcelorMittal lost about half as much – $345 million – in the first quarter.
"The operating environment in the first half continued to be challenging but we have delivered progress in a number of important areas," said Lakshmi Mittal, ArcelorMittal's chief executive officer.
The company has paid down debt and idled operations in Europe, where the economy has been troubled.
Locally, ArcelorMittal has operations in Burns Harbor, East Chicago, Gary and Riverdale and a joint venture in New Carlisle. The company employs more than 11,000 workers in Northwest Indiana alone.
Production in Northwest Indiana fell by about 550,000 tons in the second quarter because of issues with blast furnaces at Indiana Harbor and a labor dispute at Burns Harbor. But company officials said those issues are behind them, and operations are now running ahead of plans.
Revenue fell from $22.5 billion in the the second quarter of last year to $20.1 billion over the last three months. The company had recorded a $1 billion profit in the same period of 2012.
But steel shipments have dipped 1.8 percent to 21.7 million tons, as compared to the same period last year.
The steelmaker expects an increase of 1 percent to 2 percent in steel shipments by the end of the year. But ArcelorMittal now projects earnings before expenses to be at least $6.5 billion for the year, instead of the $7.1 billion it originally predicted.
ArcelorMittal lowered its forecast because of still-weak demand in North America and Europe, lower-than-anticipated coal prices and lower premiums for high-quality iron ore concentrate.
"Although we have revised our full-year guidance, the second half should deliver a clear underlying improvement relative to the second half of 2012, which we believe marked the lowest point in the cycle," Mittal said.

Back in Mike's driveway, Mike's shooting hoops by himself when Ed walks up and asks if he wants to play a quick round of 11 by 1's. Mike's glad that anybody still wants to play with him and says sure. They play for a few seconds before Ed says, "Mike, I'm sorry I didn't trust you." Mike stops and says, "Thanks." Ed zooms to the basket, dunks it, and calls 1-nothing. Mike grins and Ed says that's his version of trash talk as they resume play. Mike starts making fun of Ed's closing statements: "Trust is all we have, if we don't have trust, we don't have anything, we need trust." Ed says that closing argument kept Mike's ass out of the big house, and the episode ends.
I dunno...I liked it. I think a major part of it, as has been pointed out on the boards more eloquently than I could, was Mike and Nancy's scene, where Mike looked utterly humiliated at having to admit that his careless flirting had gotten him into a helluva fix. Yet another tender scene that I'm really beginning to dig on this show. Say what you want about Phil, but I still love that character. Michael Ian Black can play creepy like nobody else except Dennis Hopper or Crispin Glover. Even without Warren, I've gotta give the props to this episode. I think it rocked sufficiently.

Wage Structure and the Incentive Effects of Promotions
AbstractThis paper studies wage structure characteristics and their incentive effects within one firm. Based on personnel records and an employee survey, we provide evidence that wages are attached to jobs and that promotions play a dominant role as a wage determinant. We furthermore show that a promotion affects both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation significantly, though in two different ways: An expected promotion increases extrinsic motivation whereas intrinsic motivation is highest subsequent to a realized promotion. The relationship between extrinsic motivation and expected promotions implies that promotions have a clear incentive effect, consistent with a key - not yet tested - prediction of the tournament model.

How to Manage Pests
UC Pest Management Guidelines
Cribate weevil adults are dark brown with longitudinal striations. The black vine weevil adult is black with small patches of white scales. Both are about 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) long. They are flightless and nocturnal. The adults, nearly all females, emerge in late spring or early summer. Larvae are white, legless grubs, with distinct brown heads that feed on tree roots. Root weevils overwinter as larvae. There is one generation per year.
Adults feed on foliage and scallop leaf edges. Leaf damage is a good indication that weevils are present but is not damaging to established trees. Adult feeding may cause economic damage to young or newly grafted trees. Root feeding of larvae has not been associated with damage to olives.
No management is necessary for this pest in established trees. For young trees, monitor for infestations by checking trees at night with a flashlight. To prevent infestation, prune lower limbs to ensure they do not touch the soil, stopping weevils from climbing into the trees, then apply a 3- to 4-inch band of sticky material such as Tanglefoot or Stikem Special to the young trees to trap crawling adults when the first adult feeding is observed (typically in May). First, wrap the trunk tightly with plastic wrap or duct tape so that the weevils can't crawl beneath the wrap. Apply the sticky material to the plastic wrap, not the tree, because it can soften bark. Reapply the sticky material when it becomes dirty or loses its effectiveness. Remove the bands before winter.
