"We are pleased to know that your company, each and every one of you, are very professional individuals to do such a kind work for all the veterans! God bless you and your company."
"They were professional, well informed, and non-salesy. Everything they said would happen, happened and in the timeframe they told me. The process was easier than I expected."
"We just closed our loan, and I just want to tell you that I am so thankful for Cameron & Andria. They have made this endeavor such an easy one. They are a dependable team with integrity - both are truly honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We know who we will contact in the future for all our loan needs."
"From beginning to end, Rob Peck and his closing assistant James at Flagship Financial were great to work with. No beating around the bush, no hidden fees, no surprises at closing. Everything was right up-front. Also, I didn't wait days for a response to phone calls or emails. They both were very prompt with responding to me. Also a very easy closing. I am very thankful to have been paired with them."
"I'm so glad I went with Flagship Financial Group (VA mortgage leader.) Jordan's service was 2nd to none. I was new (and nervous) to the home buying experience and didn't know what to expect. With as smoothly as everything went I'll buy all my homes with Flagship!"
"I will admit I was nervous to hand over all of my information to someone half way across the country. Dan at flagship was my broker and he was wonderful! I had been told that we couldn't get a mortgage and then after speaking with Dan and a few months later we were in our first home! The closing costs were comparable along with our interest rate. Dan was also available at any moment of the day to hear from me which was also nice. I would recommend Flagship to anyone, in fact I have. Thanks Dan!"
I used Flagship Financial to refinance my loan earlier this year and found their staff to be outstanding, efficient, and thorough. My loan process was very simple and quick. I would highly recommend them to anyone in my family or circle of friends and associates.
I highly enjoyed working with Cherie. As she is well aware, there were several obstacles that kept coming up during this process and her openness, honesty, research, and strong communication made me feel extremely secure.
Everything went just great, and everyone was so professional. I have done over 10-15 closings in the past 20 years with my houses and business, and this by far was the most streamlined, efficient, no nonsense close I have ever done.
I just wanted to let you know what a great experience I had setting up a refi. I will definitely recommend your business to friends who are in the market for a great deal on a refinance of their existing or a new mortgage.

2013 Prospect Watch: St. Louis Cardinals
|Shelby Miller is one of the many prospects who should make an impact for the Cardinals this season. (US Presswire)
Before the start of the season, we'll highlight a few players in each team's minor-league system to let you know which players you should be paying attention to throughout the year. These aren't meant to be comprehensive top-prospect lists, but should provide a look at some key players within each team's organization.
More Cardinals spring training content | Camp Stop | Likes and Dislikes | Team Preview
The Cardinals return a strong team that was just a win away from the World Series last season. Based on the strength of the team's farm system, there's a good chance St. Louis will improve in 2013. St. Louis not only boasts one of the game's strongest prospect lists in the game, but also feature multiple players who should contribute this season.
2013 Impact Players
RHP Shelby Miller
Miller's inclusion here shouldn't come as a big surprise. He's made Baseball America's top-100 prospect list in each of the past three years, and finally is poised to earn a full-time role with the Cardinals. While Miller always has been considered an elite prospect, he was tested for the first time in his career last season. He got off to a terrible start in Triple-A, posting a 6.17 ERA before the All-Star Game. In the 59 1/3 innings following the break, Miller looked like his old self, posting a 2.88 ERA. He earned a promotion to the major-league club and pitched mostly out of the bullpen, making just one start. With the team losing Kyle Lohse to free agency and Chris Carpenter to injury, Miller is a prime candidate to earn a spot in the rotation when camp breaks.
RHP Trevor Rosenthal
If anyone is going to push Miller out of that final rotation spot, there's a good chance it will be Rosenthal. Rosenthal was mainly utilized as a starter throughout his minor-league career, but, like many other young pitchers, broke into the majors as a reliever last season. Rosenthal occasionally hit 100 mph. His performance, a 2.78 ERA and a 3.09 FIP over 22 2/3 innings, are the only reasons the Cardinals might keep him in the bullpen moving forward. But at 23, there's no reason for the team to completely give up on Rosenthal as a starter. And while there might only be one rotation spot open at the beginning of the year, there's some uncertainty about whether Jaime Garcia can recover from last season's shoulder issues. Rosenthal would be more valuable as a starter, but he'll add value in either role this season.
2B Kolten Wong
Given the Cardinals' lack of talent at second base, there's a good chance Wong sees plenty of playing time at the position this year. Just 22, Wong isn't regarded as a star prospect, but he'll be solid enough to make an impact. The only major competition Wong will have for the job is Matt Carpenter, who is attempting to play second regularly for the first time in his career. If Carpenter can't get it done, Wong likely will take the spot. He won't be outstanding, but he'll be an adequate fill-in at the Cardinals' weakest position.
Future Stars
There's a very strong argument to be made that Taveras belongs in the 2013 Impact Players section, given that he'll like be on the Cardinals' major-league club this year. At 20, Taveras already has become the team's top prospect and second overall prospect in all of baseball on many lists. He's drawn many comparisons to Vladimir Guerrero for his contact-heavy approach. The team's outfield is set heading into the year, but given Carlos Beltran's propensity for injuries, it's easy to envision a scenario where Taveras is contributing in 2013.
RHP Carlos Martinez
In many systems, Martinez would be a top prospect, but the state of the Cardinals' farm system pushes him out of that spot. Martinez excelled at Double-A last year, and will be just 21 this season. Prospect analysts expect Martinez to be a top-of-the-rotation starter once he hits his prime. If things go well this season, he could make his major-league debut near the middle or end of the year. A word of warning: Martinez missed about a month with a shoulder injury last season.
Wild Card
RHP Michael Wacha
The first-round draft pick in 2012, Wacha has only tossed 21 professional innings. But given his performance -- he struck out 40 hitters -- and his lofty draft spot, he has a great deal of promise. Wacha was drafted as a starter, but pitched out of the bullpen last year. He'll assume his normal role this season. There's a sense that Wacha could survive in the majors now as a back-end starter, but he could become more than that if he develops an effective third pitch. Both his fastball and change-up already project as above-average. The Cardinals don't have to rush him given their talented rotation, so Wacha's performance will dictate how soon he makes his major-league debut.
A deep system gives the Cardinals several players who will begin the year with the team, and at least three to four others who could force their way onto the roster as the season progresses. Already a contender, the Cardinals have some really promising reinforcements on the way. A strong farm system will ensure that the team remains a threat in the National League for years.

Exaile is a music player aiming to be similar to KDE's Amarok, but for GTK+ and written in Python. It incorporates many of the cool things from Amarok (and other media players) like automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via Wikipedia, Last.fm submission support, and optional iPod support via a plugin. In addition, Exaile also includes a built-in SHOUTcast directory browser, tabbed playlists (so you can have more than one playlist open at a time), blacklisting of tracks (so they don't get scanned into your library), downloading of guitar tablature from fretplay.com, and submitting played tracks on your iPod to Last.fm.

gDesklets is another great tool like Google Gadgets for bringing mini programs called desklets such as weather forecasts, news tickers, system information displays, or music player controls, onto your desktop, where they are sitting there in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. The possibilities are really endless and they are always there to serve you whenever you need them, just one key-press away. The system is not restricted to one desktop environment, but currently works on most of the modern Unix desktops (including GNOME, KDE, Xfce).
If you have installed openSUSE with the default selections of choosing one of the available (say KDE4) then only the selected Desktop environment is installed. However, should you later choose to install and use another desktop Environment say (GNOME) then this can easily be installed and as always just a few clicks away.

Product description
Almost one in five near-death experiences are not peaceful suggestions of heaven. In a wide-ranging and far from gloomy look at the other near-death experience, Nancy Evans Bush gives the first comprehensive look at a fascinating but neglected topic: NDEs and deathbed visions of fear, emptiness, and even hell. A wonderfully readable book, grounded in thirty years of experience and research, Dancing is packed with first-person accounts, engrossing discussion and factual answers to a myriad of questions, both religious and secular, with practical suggestions for integrating such an experience or encountering one as a caregiver. Here are ways of thinking about the subject that will be new to many readers. What becomes evident is that to see these only as a terrible threat about death is largely to miss their point. absolutely enthralling literary, adventurous, incisive, informative and smart one of the strongest, most thought-provoking books on the paranormal I've ever seen. Steve Volk Fringe-ology The book is an outstanding piece of work. It is a wonderfully comprehensive and rich history of what can be known and what might be considered about NDEs [and] bursts with anecdote and commentary, reinforcing for the reader that there is always another way to see things. Wayne Rollins, MDiv, PhD Soul and Psyche, Jung and the Bible, and other titles Dancing Past the Dark is what we have all been waiting for a must for any experiencer of any type of encounter with the numinous. P. M. H. Atwater, LHD Near-Death Experiences: The Rest of the Story A valuable contribution to the NDE literature and engagingly written. It needs to be seen and read by the wider public. J. Harold Ellens, MDiv, PhD Nancy Evans Bush holds a Masters Degree in Pastoral Ministry and Spirituality from St. Joseph University, Connecticut. She was Executive Director and later President of the International Association for Near-Death Studies and a member of its Board of Directors for many years. She is considered the world expert on distressing NDEs.

Genome research is one of several areas where the big-data tool Hadoop is proving itself. (Stock image)
An anonymous reader suggested that the headline "How agencies can put Hadoop to work" may have promised too much: Not to be too critical, but there is NOT ONE example listed here of how a government agency can/should practically apply Hadoop. I'm disappointed. To be clear, any rigorous conversation on this topic should tackle how Hadoop aligns with "Cloud First." Ready? Go!
Frank Konkel responds: The purpose of the article was to touch on a few potential ways agencies could use Hadoop in the near future, not necessarily what they are using it for now, with added focus on layering applications with Hadoop to produce real-time answers to problems. You make a great point for future stories on Hadoop, and that is something I will pursue.

A motor vehicle transmission control lever (2) is provided that carries switch means for controlling a system for braking the vehicle's engine or in combination: (i) switch means for controlling a cruise control system and (ii) switch means for controlling a system for braking the vehicle's engine. The switch means for controlling the cruise control system and the engine braking system are preferably mounted on a housing (10) secured to a handle or knob (6) that is secured to transmission control lever (2) for convenient operation by the operator.
1. In a motor vehicle having an engine and a manually operable transmission control lever, in combination; (i) switch means carried by the lever for operating a cruise control system and, (ii) switch means carried by the lever for controlling a system for braking the engine.
2. The transmission control lever of claim 1 wherein the cruise control system includes switch means for accelerating vehicle speed.
3. The transmission control lever of claim 1 or 2 wherein the cruise control system includes switch means for decelerating vehicle speed.
This invention relates generally to motor vehicle cruise and engine braking control systems and more particularly to motor vehicle cruise control and engine braking systems whose functions are controlled by manually operated switches carried by the vehicle's transmission control (shift) lever for convenient operation by the operator.
Motor vehicle cruise control systems for maintaining a selected vehicle speed and various engine braking systems for braking a vehicle's engine have been known for many years. Cruise control systems characteristically feature manually operated switches for activating or turning the cruise control system on and off and for selecting the vehicle speed to be maintained and for resuming maintenance of the selected vehicle speed after occurrence of an event that momentarily suspends the cruise control function such as by releasing the clutch or applying the brakes which are activities that commonly do not deactivate the control system and enable the suspension to occur without having to reset an already selected vehicle speed and enable resumption of the already selected vehicle speed by means of switch activation.
Various systems have been employed to brake a vehicle's engine ordinarily as a means for assisting conventional wheel brakes. Such braking systems have been used for example to assist in braking while the vehicle is descending a hill.
One example of an engine braking system is known in the trade as the "Jacobs Engine Braking System" a system that, via engine valve control, releases compressed air involved in the ignition process in the combustion chamber, characteristically by cylinders in pairs, to suppress ignition and the energy required to return the pistons to their bottom positions is then derived from the vehicle's momentum which is highly effective in slowing the vehicle.
Another example of an engine braking system is where engine oil is directed into a turbine that acts as a hydraulic brake against the engine's flywheel afterwhich the oil is directed to a location for cooling.
Yet, another simple example of an engine braking system is one that employs a valve located in the engine's exhaust pipe that, when activated, closes off exhaust gas flow to increase exhaust gas content in the engine's cylinders that, in turn, suppresses ignition and causes the engine to act as an air compressor.
Still another example of an engine braking system is one that features stationary friction plates that are urged by fluid pressure against rotary friction plates secured to one of the vehicle's drive line shafts, commonly the transmission output shaft, to frictionally slow vehicle speed to enable down shifting to occur or, in some instances, to assist in preventing roll back during shifting when the vehicle is on a hill or to aid in braking as the vehicle travels down a hill. A characteristic example of a fluid operated friction plate type engine braking system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,650,046, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
As used herein the term "engine braking system" includes any system manually operable by switches that operates to brake the vehicle whether at the engine location or at some point in the vehicle's drive train as a separate function from the vehicle's wheel brakes so as to assist the wheel brakes for example in braking while descending a hill as previously described.
Cruise control systems are also known to include switches for causing the vehicle's motor to accelerate vehicle speed up to that selected for maintenance and also to accelerate therefrom to some desired higher speed setting and to decelerate therefrom to some desired lower speed setting.
Heretofore, manually operated engine braking system switches have been located on the floor or dashboard and the manually operated cruise control switches have been located either on the dash board or on the steering wheel or on the turn signal arm all of which locations may be convenient to some and inconvenient to others.
A location for the cruise control and engine brake switches heretofore overlooked that is ergonomically convenient to most is the transmission control lever which most operators, if not all, find comfortable to reach without being unduly distracted from viewing the highway ahead.
There have been a few examples in the past where the accelerator pedal control function has been transferred to the transmission control lever by means of connecting cables or rods such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,819,688; 1,823,633; 1,861,394; 3,795,157 and 4,109,745, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. However, no one heretofore had thought to transfer location of the engine brake operating switch singularly or the combination of the cruise control and engine braking switches to the transmission control lever.
Accordingly, it is the object of this invention to provide a motor vehicle transmission control lever that carries switches for operating both a cruise control system and switches for operating an engine braking system or singularly for operating an engine braking system.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the transmission control lever of the invention referenced by numeral 100; and
FIG. 2 is a another perspective view of the transmission control lever 100 of FIG. 1 showing, in block diagram, its connection to the cruise control and engine braking systems.
Transmission control lever 100 of FIGS. 1 and 2 has an arm 2 that extends from a handle 6 secured to an end of arm 2 through an opening 5 in a protective boot or skirt 4 for operative connection to the vehicle's transmission (not shown). The direction of the arrow shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is towards the front of the vehicle which, for illustrative purposes, enables a person to conveniently operate the switches with the thumb on their right hand.
Handle or knob 6 carries a plurality of switch means preferably mounted on a housing referenced by numeral 10 in FIG. 1 and all of which are hereinafter described in greater detail with respect to both FIGS. 1 and 2.
Handle 6 may include means for controlling other functions such as the release button as referenced by numeral 8 that, when activated, releases a detent or the like to enable the operator to manually move lever arm 2 or it may include means for operating a range shift air valve or splitter for shifting truck range shiftable splitter type transmissions.
The cruise control switch means carried by transmission control lever 100 are operative to control a cruise control system 20 (shown in FIG. 2) that is operatively connected to an engine 24 (shown in FIG. 2) in a manner effective to control the speed thereof and thus the speed of the vehicle according to the manner in which the switch means on handle 6 are actuated by the operator.
Likewise, the engine braking switch means carried by transmission control lever 100 is operative to brake the engine according to the particular setting selected by the operator.
The configuration of handle 6 shown in FIG. 1 is for illustrative purposes only for it can have any shape such as a knob and the like that is suitable for gripping by an operator during the ordinary course of driving and selecting gears of a vehicular transmission.
Likewise, although the plurality of switch means are shown in a particular arrangement in FIG. 1, they may be arranged in any pattern suitable for manual operation by the operator. The switch means likewise may be toggle, rocker, rotary, push or slide type switches or combinations thereof. When appropriate, more than one operation may be controlled by one or more of the switches.
Transmission control lever 100 can be utilized to select gears of vehicles having manual, automatic and semi-automatic transmissions as is well known in the art. The gear selection sequence may be illustrated on the handle in combination with the cruise control and engine brake switch means or in some other location capable of being viewed by the operator during operation of the vehicle.
Housing 10 shown in the FIGURES is just one of numerous ways that the cruise control and engine brake switch means are carried by transmission control lever 2 for they may, for example, be integrated into the control lever itself or into the control lever handle. Preferably, however, the cruise control and engine brake switch means are mounted on a housing 10 that is secured to or integral with the control lever handle such as handle 6 that in turn is secured to lever 2.
The functions of the various switches in FIGS. 1 and 2 are described as follows.
The cruise control "Off-On" switch referenced by numeral 12 in FIGS. 1 and 2 is preferably a two position rocker type switch.
Switch 14 is preferably a three position rocker type switch that enables operation of the "Set/Decel-Resume/Accel" functions of the cruise control system. Preferably, the extreme positions of switch 14 are momentary hold positions with automatic spring return to the center position.
More particularly, holding switch 14 momentarily at the "Set-Decel" position will set the cruise control speed at a particular vehicle speed desired. Maintaining switch 14 at the "Set/Decel" position will decelerate the vehicle speed until released and the vehicle speed at the time of release will be the new "Set" speed.
Holding switch 14 momentarily at the "Resume/Accel" position will cause the cruise control to resume its "Set" speed after it has been interrupted such as by depressing the vehicle wheel brake pedal referenced by numeral 26 in FIG. 2 or by depressing the vehicle clutch pedal referenced by numeral 28 in FIG. 2 in cases where the vehicle's transmission employs a manually operated clutch that is operable to interrupt the cruise control function.
Maintaining switch 14 at the "Resume/Accel" position will accelerate the vehicle speed until release and the vehicle speed at the time of release will be the new "Set" speed.
Switch 18 is the switch controlling the engine braking system. Switch 18 includes an "Off" position and at least one "On" selection dependent upon the type of engine brake system involved. For example, in the case of a "Jacobs" type engine brake system, there may be three "On" position selections such as "2", "4" or "6" representing increasing pairs of engine cylinders taking part in the braking action. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, switch 18 is preferably a rotary type switch located for convenient operation by the operator's thumb.
Also in FIGS. 1 and 2 are two switches that are not part of the cruise control or engine braking systems. The switches are represented by numerals 8 and 16 and are employed in trucks having range-splitter type transmissions to provide a broad range of gear ratios attractive for truck operation particularly in mountainous terrain.
Switch 8 is, for example, a slide type switch for selecting various gear ratios available from the splitter type transmission and switch 16, for example, is a two position "Low" and "High" range selection switch that provides the particular gear rate desired in combination with the position selected for splitter switch 8 as is well known in the art.
Like the cruise control switches, one or more other types of switches may be used in place of the rotary type switch shown in the FIGURES to actuate the engine braking system in the manner desired.
Likewise, the positional relationship between the cruise control and engine braking switch means shown in the FIGURES is for illustrative purposes only for they may be arranged in any pattern convenient for operation by the operator.
It is also to be understood that the term "cruise control system" as used herein includes cruise control systems in perhaps their most simplest form involving only an "On/Off" switch; a "set" switch; and a "Resume" switch and thus absent the "Decal" (deceleration) and "Accel" (acceleration) functions previously described.
