Awareness Campaign
This initiative, which is, to say the least, innovative, is the natural extension of a large scale communications strategy developed by Lobe Santé auditive et communication over the last few years. The ultimate objective remains the same: making the maximum information on hearing accessible to the population.
Lobe Magazine
The first Quebecois Magazine on hearing health. Contact us and we will systematically send you the number copies you need of each edition of Lobe Magazine to distribute to your members.
Screening Questionnaire for Listening and Hearing Problems
The number of copies necessary of the screening questionnaire for listening and hearing problems. This questionnaire has been produced to quickly evaluate whether a person should meet hearing professionals to get more information about their hearing health. This questionnaire has been produced and scientifically approved by Martin Fortin, audiologist, in collaboration with Lobe Santé auditive et communication.
The first portal on communication and hearing health
For the campaign, a portal on communication and hearing health was developed to provide a single platform for the various professionals practicing at Lobe Santé auditive et communication multidisciplinary clinics.
The portal is an unparalleled source of information for the public, and is updated in real time.
Conferences on Hearing Health
We offer conferences on hearing health. The subjects that are dealt with are varied and depend on the needs of the persons who are present:
- The role of the different hearing health professionals.
- The functioning of the ears.
- The steps to take when we think we have a hearing problem.
- Hearing aids.
- Before technology, your needs.
- The difference between analog and digital.
- The differences between the different types of hearing aids available.
- The limitations of hearing aids.
- The solutions for living well with hearing aids: advice maintenance products.
- The different subsidy programs: RAMQ, Veteran's Affairs, CSST, etc.
These conferences are given by hearing health professionals who are recognized in their field. All the necessary computer material (laptop, Power Point, projector, etc.) is supplied by our team.
Several informational documents produced by the professionals who practice at Lobe Santé auditive et communication will be handed out, free of charge, to all participants.
These conferences are part of our "Awareness Program on Hearing Health". We are particularly proud to facilitate your access to our conferences, whose objective is to inform the population.

About Me Technically Challenged, Working Mom
All laptops have rotten speakers for listening to the radio or watching movies. I use mine to have the radio on my laptop at work and for the kids to watch movies on the laptop during long car trips. These speakers are fabulous for their sound quality and volume level! Don't recommend opening and closing them alot though. The little tabs on every style of these that I've tried ALWAYS break off rather quickly! Granted the sound is even better with them open, but not that much better to risk not being able to close it for storage for the duaration of it's life. It's a little on the big side compared to other's I've owned, but still fits in the side of my laptop case as long as it's closed.

Inside Track
"While people are angry," said one veteran journalist at Vermont's largest daily newspaper, this week "the prevailing mood is one of disgust."
"We feel absolutely frustrated and undervalued," said another reporter at the Gannett chain's Burlington Free Press on College Street in downtown Burlington. Gannett Inc. is the largest newspaper publisher in the United States. It publishes USA Today and 85 dailies including our beloved Freeps.
What these staffers were referring to was the announcement on Monday by Free Press management that ordinary working stiffs at the newspaper (excluding executives and the outside sales staff) would no longer have free parking provided by the newspaper. Depending at which downtown private lot they use — most are within two blocks of the office — Freeps employees began losing their free parking spots on Tuesday.
Free Press staffers, who spoke to "Inside Track" on the condition they not be identified, told us they were "stunned."
It gets worse. Management also removed the "bottled spring water" from the newsroom, our sources say. Instead, faucets on the bathroom sinks in the staff men's and ladies' rooms now have mesh filters over them.
"Morale was already bad," said one reporter. "I think everyone was stunned at first. It took awhile to sink in," he said. Free parking was part of the deal when he and his co-workers took the job and, he said, many are questioning "the legality" of removing it.
"The reason parking is provided," said our source, "is because we often need our cars to cover a story. It's part of our job."
Management made the announcement to individuals or to small groups. As Monday afternoon unfolded, we're told, "People were standing around, openly complaining. People were pissed and took it as a personal insult."
By Tuesday, employees at the newspaper were raising "personal safety concerns" about having to walk six to eight blocks late at night to reach their cars at distant locations. The cheapest lot found so far, one female staffer told us, was north of downtown and charges $50 a month. Closer parking lots or garages charge double or more, she said.
By Tuesday, longtime Publisher Jim Carey got wind of the grumbling and, we're told, met personally with employees.
"Essentially, Carey said the paper is not making enough money and they have to make cuts somewhere," said one Freeps journalist. Carey told workers that management is "trying to avoid layoffs, though that is under discussion."
But, sources added, Carey's real message was, "If you don't like it, find a new job."
The fact is, said one reporter, "We're spread too thin as it is."
"Inside Track" called Carey's office on Tuesday morning and requested an interview, but the publisher of Gannett's Vermont operation did not return our call, as usual.
Perfectly understandable.
"They've finally crossed a line," said one reporter. "They have no idea what we do in the newsroom."
"Our CEO makes $16 million a year," said another, "and our news operation has become unimportant — even locally."
Statehouse Showdown — Next Wednesday's showdown under Montpeculiar's Golden Dome has all the signs of a dramatic head-on collision. Two gubernatorial vetoes are on the table, but only one is in the spotlight — H.520, the "global warming/climate-change bill," as supporters call it, or the "unfair tax on Vermont Yankee bill," as it's dubbed by its detractors, including Vermont's elected CEO.
Last week Democrats, led by Sen. Peter Shumlin of Putney, pulled a fast one by offering to withdraw the tax from the bill and instead just pass the meat of it. That's the part which establishes an all-fuels, statewide energy-efficiency utility. The funding mechanism — the Vermont Yankee tax and the tax on wind-power production — can wait until lawmakers return in January.
Republican Gov. Jim Douglas, expert political tactician that he is, immediately rejected Shumlin's offer and cancelled their supposedly "secret" meeting at the Woodstock Inn because Putney Pete had alerted the Vermont press.
The governor's talented mouthpiece, Jason Gibbs, was quick to open fire.
"We're canceling this meeting," said Gibbs, "because it's quite clear to us that Sen. Shumlin is not interested in negotiating in good faith. He's more interested in scoring political points and turning this issue into a media circus."
Good line, but stunned the handful of Vermont political reporters, who were surprised to hear there were enough of them to create a circus!
And Sen. Shumlin is not taking gubernatorial rejection lightly. This week he told "Inside Track" that, with the Yankee tax removed, he does not believe "Jim Douglas has any excuse left in his barrel to object to this bill."
Gov. Douglas, by the way, was not available for comment, because he's enjoying the Independence Day holiday with his wife and his parents at "a tiny little lake in the middle of nowhere in Maine."
Bet you didn't know Gov. Scissorhands is quite the water skier, according to his spokesman.
Asked why we've never seen photographs of Vermont's governor on water skis, Gibbs replied with a laugh and a "no comment."
Meanwhile, in Sen. Shummy's view, Vermont's current governor is turning into "a cross between George Bush and Dick Cheney in the public's eye."
And Shumlin is not mincing his words, as other Democratic leaders have. "Vermont has been an environmental leader. And Jim Douglas," charged Shumlin, "is the most regressive governor Vermont's had on the environment in recent history. He does not care about protecting the environment."
Pretty black and white, eh?
Gibbs responded to that one by describing the Senate Democratic leader as "a one-man walking cliché."
What does that mean?
"It means all barn and no hay," answered Jason the spokesman.
Another good line, eh?
When pressed on what he expects to actually happen under the Golden Dome next Wednesday, Gibbs told us, "If legislative leaders continue to refuse to reach a consensus, then the most likely outcome will be a vote to sustain the governor's veto."
And that vote will turn out how?
"Well, I don't want to reveal all of our intelligence," he replied, "but we're quite confident that the legislature will vote to sustain the veto."
Maybe Shummy should take up water skiing?
More Gibbs Talk — As you probably already know, Gov. Douglas has not seen, nor does he have any intention of seeing, Al Gore's Academy Award-winning movie about the global-warming crisis, An Inconvenient Truth.
His press secretary, however, has seen the Gore flick. (Yes, Republicans are apparently allowed to go to any movies they want.)
What did Mr. Gibbs think of it?
"Interesting and provocative," he replied. He declined to elaborate.
Also, there's lots of behind-the-scenes buzz about the Democratic Party's lack of a "qualified" candidate interested in running against Landslide Jim in 2008. What about a third-party type? Or an "Independent?"
We raised the matter with the current guv's motor-mouth.
"I'm not going to comment on the 2008 election as the official spokesperson," said Jason. "I'll leave that to the political staff and the pundits."
"And who is the political staff?" we inquired.
"We don't really have one right now," he said, unable to control his laughter. "We're busy governing."
Confidence is not in short supply these days on the Ol' Fifth Floor.
Sanity on Drugs? — That's what it sounded like on Ch. 3's "You Can Quote Me" Sunday as an experienced elected law enforcement official called for a rethinking of Vermont's drug laws and the decriminalization of marijuana.
That's right — a law enforcement official. We're talking about Windsor County State's Attorney Bobby Sand. For several years, Sand has courageously been promoting a public dialogue on our current failed drug policy. This year he's starting to get some serious attention.
Sand told Marselis Parsons and crime reporter Brian Joyce and whoever tunes in on Sunday morning (unfortunately, "Vermont's Own" does not post video or audio — or even transcripts — of "Quote Me") that there are three reasons the War on Drugs hasn't been effective.
"First," said the prosecutor, "prohibition just doesn't work. You can't tell people to stop taking a substance and that's going to happen. We should have learned that lesson back in the '20s and '30s."
Smarty pants.
Secondly, said Sand, by imposing punishment on users and addicts, "We've effectively criminalized addiction. Instead of bringing users into a system that might help them address their addiction, we push them away, we push them into the arms of the black market."
That's a rather sobering way of looking at it, eh?
And thirdly, said the straight-talking Vermont state's attorney, "We leave distribution of these highly addictive dangerous substances in the hands of criminals — criminals who have a financial incentive to develop new customers."
Even if we pump money into more "compassionate" treatment of drug addicts, said Sand, "we still have people out there who have a financial motive to develop new customers. I think we're working at cross purposes."
A lot of folks publicly agree with him.
Very few, however, are members of the current Vermont Legislature.
Few politicians, so far, have demonstrated the guts Sand has demonstrated, to risk losing an election by "appearing soft on drugs."
Catching the Crooks — The noose is tightening on the crooks and liars in charge of America's White House. That was demonstrated this week by President George Bush's commutation of the 30-month jail sentence of Scooter Libby, the convicted perjurer who aided in blowing the cover of Valerie Plame, a covert CIA agent.
Because her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, had told the truth about a Bush administration scam to find yellowcake uranium in Africa that Saddam Hussein was supposedly using to make nuclear weapons, a.k.a. WMDs.
Turned out neither the yellowcake nor the WMDs existed.
Meanwhile, Vermont Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is in the thick of it these days.
Tim Russert pitched him this question on "Meet the Press" the other day.
"Let me ask you about two words that you used on a statement you put out on Thursday," said Russert. "I'm 'even more disappointed now by this Nixonian stonewalling.' What is Nixonian stonewalling?"
"They have taken the attitude at the White House," replied St. Patrick, "that somehow they're above the law. That if they make a decision, that there's something they want to do, nobody should question them on it. The vice president's even been quoted as saying, 'The courts can't question it. The Congress can't question it.' That's a Nixonian attitude, and it's wrong."
The bald guy from Vermont is sure right about that, isn't he?
It didn't get much press coverage, but Leahy also expressed his deep disappointment with the recent decisions of the conservative majority on the United States Supreme Court. Leahy had voted to confirm the appointment of Mr. Bush's new Chief Justice John Roberts, who has led the tilt to the right. Russert asked, was he still pleased with that vote?
Leahy said he did not want the chief justice confirmed on a party-line vote. He was hoping Roberts "would understand that many of us wanted to see him make the Supreme Court less divisive, have more unanimous opinions."
Fat chance, eh?
"I am extraordinarily disappointed when I find that, in almost a cavalier way, they've thrown aside Brown vs. Board of Education. What does that say to minorities in our country? I think it's a slap in their face," said the senior senator from Vermont.
OK. So does St. Patrick now regret his "yes" vote?
"No, I regret the nomination," answered Leahy. I think that I have a great deal of admiration for the chief justice's legal ability. I do wish he could reflect more the plurality of our country. Because if he doesn't, we're all hurt."
Yes, indeed.

Journalism students get inside look at health care
Hofstra Graduate Journalism students enrolled in the Science and Medical Writing course with Assistant Adjunct Professor Scott Brinton met April 9, 2010 with officials from Long Beach Medical Center (LBMC) to discuss the future of medicine following the recent passage of President Obama's historic health-reform legislation.
Among the speakers in the three-hour, small-group session were LMBC's Chief Executive Officer Douglas Melzer, Chief Financial Officer Barry Stern, Assistant Administrator Cheryl Chapman, Director of Graduate Medical Education Dr. Cheryl Carrao, Public Relations Director Sharon Player.
This experience gave students a new perspective on the inner workings of a major medical center, as well as the challenges that hospitals will face in the coming years. Students also learned about best practices when approaching hospital officials for stories.

Hey there!
I am a storytelling lifestyle photographer, a wife and mother. My love of photography started long before having children, but they have taken me to a whole new world of photography. Before having children, I solely enjoyed photographing the land, never people, but they changed that. Between my passion for seeing and capturing the beauty in all things, having children who have given me a path to follow, and our travels both at home and overseas, becoming totally enveloped in this art was inevitable.
I've spent the last two and a half years refining my skills as a photographer and documenting my own children's lives. Rarely posed. Just pure, natural moments caught on camera. I strive to create honest, raw and emotive photographs that will bring back a flood of memories when looked back upon years down the road. Through capturing my own children in a way that lets them be themselves without the stresses of being posed, I've realized that my true passion in portrait photography is capturing real moments.
I specialize in in-home lifestyle sessions. Capturing the way life is right now in the comfort of your own home.

Report: Fastest AMD chips run with circuit-board fix
Inexpensive circuit boards can work reliably with the fastest AMD quad-core Phenom processors when modifications are made, according to a report. This comes in the wake of mismatch issues between Phenom chips and select motherboards, as reported by Asia-based vendors.
The mismatch between high-end Phenom processors and lower-end motherboards became an issue when some Asia-based manufacturers attempted to plug in 9750 and 9850 Phenom processors into boards based on AMD's 780G chipset. The chipset is attractive to board makers because of its relatively high-performance integrated graphics. (A motherboard is the main circuit board in a PC.)

08-06-2013, 04:04 PM #7I am still in need of replacing my alternator but, upon replacing it, I'd also like to upgrade it. I currently have the OE 105A alternator and would like to go to the 145A alternator. Is there any harm in making that big of a jump? Will there be any other electrical parts I'll need to change out as well or will it simply be just an alternator swap?
08-06-2013, 06:38 PM #8auto zone has the 105/145 amp both should fit. most use the 145. I replaced my 105 with a 105 but the larger should fit. also many do use the larger when they need replacing. If for some reason you do not like the fit just bring back and get the 105. looks like the 105 is more money. lifetime warranty. thats why I got new replacement at auto zone . was $140 a few years ago.
08-06-2013, 07:45 PM #9I'm not too worried about the physical fit of the alternator. I'm more curious about the electrical fit - as in, is it going to hurt anything electrically if all I do is swap the 105A for the 145A alternator and nothing more?

This 2 pitch sport route starts about 40' up and left of the Bitty Buttress route, as if starting on A's Jax, staying right, out of the unpleasant dihedral. Facing almost due south, it gets lots of sunshine and is somewhat protected from westerly winds. Pitch 1: 5.11a, 90', 9 bolts. Start with 3 bolts on the slab/fin right of the dihedral, then stem left across the corner onto a steep wall, hitting an unusual crux at bolt 5. A nifty slab (.9-) takes you up to the anchor. This is an excellent pitch all by itself. It's probably best to follow rather than lower. Pitch 2: 5.12a/b, 45', 6 bolts. Some 5.9 leads up to the 4th bolt where a height-dependant move is encountered (harder if under 6' tall). An interesting sequence sets up the crux toss at bolt 5. This pitch is fairly steep but not overly powerful--some thoughtful, technical movement is required to "send". Though it's a reasonable redpoint, without tic-marks or beta the onsight should deliver that special 5.12 feeling. Lower off, then rap the first pitch.
10 draws plus anchors after each pitch.
My first try on Return to Sender left me with the following impression. P1 is a nifty way to link up two slabs that get you to P2, which would otherwise have a rotten approach. In its own right P1 is a blast and entails some nice thin slabbing with a tough mantle in the link up. It looks like it needs some brushing, but while climbing that seemed insignificant. P2 is the meat, and I won't give anything away. It has two cruxes, as Mark indicated. The lower crux will be very height dependent. I hung off the jug at the end of the first crux and could just graze my toe on the spot used to launch the move. If you are 6' 5", it might feel 5.10, if you are 5' 7" it would feel like 5.14. There are two solutions, but the short person variation will certainly come at higher than 5.12a/b. The second crux is what it is, either you do it or you don't. It's a nifty and very technical dyno, a brief, perfect althletic moment (or perhaps several attempts at a brief, perfect athletic moment). Nice addition. Solid rock. Well protected. And it gets good early sun.
My first try on Return to Sender left me with the following impression. P1 is 5.8 to a dirty corner that involves a somewhat dangerous "behind your back" clip that transitions you to the next slab after one or two steep moves on very questionable rock. From here, make easy moves on loose, dirty rock (careful not to pull anything down and kill somebody) and encounter one move of 5.11a followed by low angle 5.7 or 5.8 slab to the first set of anchors. P2 features a nice variety of "snappy" "hollow" crimpers and flakes all poised brilliantly on a Volkswagen-sized block that looks like it could break away from the wall entirely with the right amount of conviction. The crux will catch your attention indeed, not so much by the "wild move" that has been advertised but more so by the sloping ledge that you may or may not strike if you happen to miss. A few more awkward throws gets you to the final set of anchors which consequently are guarded fabulously by a choice selection of football to microwave size blocks. Again, be careful not to pull anything down and kill somebody. Enjoy!

Nice job! But I think it'd have been even more fascinating if they've used *empty* cans; they'd have been helping the environment as well as making outstanding art. I actually think recycling is a big part of such art.

Friends of the story mansion announce that their plans to buy the mansion have fallen through.
In a letter dated February 21st, Board of Director Chairman Andy Epple announced that wind-energy Corporation Exergy will not be able to front the over $390,000 needed to buy the mansion outright. Friends of the Story mansion was granted a six month extension to buy the mansion by the city commission this past September. Now, they're asking for more time, proposing a six year plan to buy the mansion in installments, saying they can contribute $30,000 annually toward the overall cost.
City officials have no comment at this time.

Lisbon : Michelin's recommendations
Located on the Tagus estuary, Lisbon is simultaneously a coastal and a river city. A cultural crossroads and commercial hub, this prestigious capital of a relatively small country was for many years overshadowed by dictatorship. Today, Lisbon is a symbol of the nation's dynamism and, after two decades of major works, gives an impression of modernity, creativity and enterprise. The city of fado and saudade (a mood of nostalgic longing) invites visitors to stroll and daydream through its streets.

.I got my 5304 from Maxwell65 and he says he did not ask for thicker gauge wire, that is just how they cam.
Kenny supplied me with more of the same wire, and I only just installed it back on my motor.
I did not like the idea of having a big plug of andersons on the outside of the frame, no matter how easy it makes the wheel removal.
I have fitted wire in one length direct to the controller, so I have only one connector neat the controller.
Yes, OK, there is the argument that you take a bigger wire from motor to controler to reduce voltage drop along a lenght of wire, but I am of the opinion that I will probably get less voltage drop with a single length and one junction from a single connection, than having two connections and a 2 ft length of thicker wire.
This is the spec of the wire he sent out
49 strand conductor:
Conductor diameter:
0.1060 inch 2.69mm
Strand diameter
Max 0.0150 inch 0.38mm
Min 0.0125 inch 0.31mm
Overall Diameter
max O/D 0.1360 3.46mm
min O/D 0.1305 3.30mm
Insulator Thickness
0.0250 inch 0.64mm
Here is the response I got from him when I asked if he had a part number for that wire if I wnated to rder any again
Hi Neil,
Nice to hear you get the order.
The wire called less resistance 4 mm2 ( square ) for motor.
But it will make things simple if we called it for Crystalyte X5 motor's phase. So we will understand.
Kind Regards
So 4mm2 is closer to 11 gauge than 10 gauge, but I am not sure if you would get 10 gauge to fit...it may be just a little to tight
But what ever Kenny calls it, and the size he specs at 4mm2. I know it is as thick as this stuff in 10 Gauge, if not a fraction thicker, as I had some of this on the bike till the 'correct' stuff arrived last week

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, Yang Jiechi has reiterated China's strong support for Sri Lanka's sovereignty, territorial integrity and national unity. This pledge was made during bilateral talks between him and his Sri Lankan counterpart, Rohitha Bogollagama held at the Foreign Ministry on10 September 2008.Minister Yang Jiechi was on his first official visit to Sri Lanka, as Foreign Minister, from 09th to 10th September 2008, at the invitation of Minister Bogollagama. The discussions focused on strengthening all round partnership between the two countries, particularly in enhancing bilateral economic cooperation in the fields of trade and investment, as well as greater people to people connectivity, through youth and student exchange programmes and tourism.
Minister Bogollagama in his opening remarks recalled the excellent relations between China and Sri Lanka spanning over five decades. He also appreciated China's continued generous economic assistance in infrastructure development, including the Hambantota port development project, the Norochcholai coal power plant, the National Performing Arts Theatre, highway development, as well as other projects which are currently under negotiation. In this regard, he welcomed China's generous grant of Yuan 50 million under the Agreement on Economic and Technical Cooperation which both Ministers signed earlier in the day at the President's House in the presence of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Commenting on the progress of the ongoing Chinese funded projects, he sought the Chinese Minister's intervention to resolve certain issues in order to facilitate and expedite their implementation.
Foreign Minister of China, Yang Jiechi who is on an official visit to Sri Lanka
Minister Bogollagama assured his Chinese counterpart of Sri Lanka's consistent and firm adherence to the One China Policy, as well as a deep understanding of China's concerns regarding Tibet and the Dalai Lama. He congratulated China on the staging of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games on a grand and spectacular scale.
Minister Bogollagama highlighted the great importance Sri Lanka attaches to her relationship with China, which was underscored by the three visits of President Mahinda Rajapaksa to China since 2007, at the invitation of President Hu Jintao, the most recent being his participation at the Beijing Olympics, during which he had constructive discussions with the Chinese President on further consolidating bilateral ties and the abiding friendship between the two countries. He also appreciated China's high level participation as an Observer at the recently concluded 15th SAARC Summit in Colombo and welcomed China's constructive engagement with the SAARC. The Minister gave a comprehensive briefing to the Chinese side on Sri Lanka's agenda as the Chair of SAARC to promote greater regional cooperation as well as an active and meaningful partnership with the Observer States. Minister Bogollagama expressed Sri Lanka's desire to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) as a dialogue partner and sought Chinese support for this endeavour. Referring to the very close coordination and understanding that prevails between the two countries at various international fora, the Minister stated that this approach reflects the common position that they share on a range of global issues.
Referring to the trade balance heavily tilted in favour of China, Foreign Minister Bogollagama sought his counterpart's support to facilitate ways and means of reducing the imbalance, including by enhancing market access for Sri Lankan products to China, particularly agricultural produce which would have a direct positive impact on the rural masses, as well as granting of tariff concessions under a Preferential Trading Agreement.
Minister Bogollagama appraised the Chinese delegation on the ongoing humanitarian endeavour to liberate the people in the remaining pockets in the North from the clutches of the terrorists. In this regard, he conveyed his deep appreciation for the continued and consistent support of China in combating terrorism.
Responding to Minister Bogollagama's remarks, the Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi thanked him for the invitation to visit Sri Lanka and the warm hospitality and the excellent arrangements made for the visit. Referring to the meeting with President Mahinda Rajapaksa in the morning, he greatly appreciated the President's strong commitment to the One China Policy, which had also been reiterated by Minister Bogollagama. The Chinese Government and the people deeply appreciated the kind gesture of President Rajapaksa and Minister Bogollagama for visiting the Chinese Embassy in Colombo to express condolences in the aftermath of the massive earthquake in the Sichuan Province. He also conveyed the Chinese Government's gratitude to President Rajapaksa for his personal concern towards the quake victims by visiting them in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, as well as the donation of relief supplies for the victims, which had deeply touched the Chinese people and reflected the solidarity of the Sri Lankan people with the Chinese people in their time of distress.
Foreign Minister Yang underscored the importance of China's longstanding friendship and cooperation with Sri Lanka, which has been manifested in recent years in the infrastructure development projects in the country, and the regular exchange of high level bilateral visits. Referring to the Yuan 50 million grant that has been offered under the Agreement on Economic and Technical Cooperation, he expressed the hope that these funds would be utilized for the economic development of Sri Lanka.
Regarding the ongoing Chinese funded development projects, Minister Yang assured Minister Bogollagama that he would convey Sri Lanka's concerns to the relevant authorities, and also advised the concerned Sri Lankan authorities to follow up directly with their counterpart agencies. Commenting on the new projects in the pipeline, Chinese Minister, pledged to expedite clearance and funding through the relevant agencies in China, for their speedy implementation.
The Chinese Foreign Minister was appreciative of Sri Lanka's unwavering commitment towards the One China Policy, and her understanding of China's concerns on the issue of Tibet and the Dalai Lama. The Minister reiterated China's continued support for Sri Lanka's sovereignty and territorial integrity and her efforts to bring peace for the people of Sri Lanka.
Minister Yang congratulated Sri Lanka for successfully hosting the 15th SAARC Summit in Colombo. He added that China desires to play a meaningful and a proactive role in addressing regional concerns, such as food security, energy issues etc. Referring to Sri Lanka's interest to join the SCO as a dialogue partner, the Chinese Minister, assured China's support for Sri Lanka. While echoing sentiments expressed by Minister Bogollagama on the mutual support and understanding existing between China and Sri Lanka at regional and international fora, the Chinese Minister expressed the hope that Sri Lanka would continue her dialogue with China on issues such as UN Reforms, climate change, food security etc. in order to safeguard the interests of developing countries.
The Chinese Minister said that his government takes the issue of the balance of trade heavily against Sri Lanka very seriously and assured the Sri Lankan side that they would favourably consider a reduction of tariffs on a range of exportable goods at future trade talks, as well as assist exporters and manufactures in Sri Lanka to develop the quality of their products in order to gain greater access to the Chinese market. He also said that his Government would strongly encourage Chinese companies to increase their investments in Sri Lanka, especially in high-tech industries.
The Chinese Minister said that China looked forward to the visit of Prime Minister, Ratnasiri Wickramanayake to Chengdu in October at the South China Trade Fair. He also invited Minister Bogollagama to visit China in 2009 which was accepted.
The two Ministers also discussed matters pertaining to the exchange of students, promotion of tourism, people to people contacts, regular consultations at all levels so as to further consolidate friendship and bilateral cooperation.
Minister Bogollagama was joined at the talks by Secretaries to the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Power & Energy, Cultural Affairs and Ports & Aviation, together with senior officials from relevant government agencies and the Foreign Ministry.

Unethical, abusive or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated, regardless of whether it is addressed by any specific rule.
Respect your fellow posters: Personal attacks, trolling, and flaming are not allowed. Any such post will be removed by the moderators. In the case of repeat violations, the offending poster will be banned.
Respect your moderators: Moderators are volunteers who are helping make this site a safe, productive, valuable resource for all visitors.
Report disrespectful postings: If you see a post that violates the first rule, please report it to a moderator. The "Report to Moderator" link is at the bottom right corner of every post. Don't encourage such behavior by replying in kind. Doing so might result in you violating the first rule. Likewise, if you have an issue with another poster's behavior, report it to a moderator. The community as a whole determines what is acceptable. Repeated complaints will result in action (warnings or banning) against the offending poster.
Under 3 Word Posts: Do not post short one word, two word, or three word posts or some other single-word reply in a thread like "what?" "hi" "i'm gay" or smileys :-) etc. . These posts are an obnoxious waste of server space, essentially announcing that the poster has nothing worthwhile to contribute. Poor posts are annoying and they add nothing to the thread whatsoever.
Keep personal arguments off the board: If you have a personal issue with another member please keep it private by taking it to email or personal message. Don't post the contents of personal messages without the author's permission. This includes disagreements with a moderator--handle them by private message.
Stay on topic: An occasional off-topic post or two is no biggie. When it's habitual, or when a new idea changes the subject for several posts, it's time to suggest a new thread, or move the conversation to an existing thread.
Advertising: Advertising for CSBA member Businesses only is allowed in the CSBA Business News board. No advertising may be placed in any other board. Advertising posts must include valid contact information. Advertisers must have a valid CSBA membership and must inlude their contact information in their post. No multi-level markting ads may be posted.
Post constructively. Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are insulting and rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.
Do not post images that can be considered obscene or graphic
Profanity, and gratuitous, graphic sexual referencs and theats of any kind will not be tolerated.
Avoid redundant posts: Try to avoid it, don't make it excessive, that's the general rule. If it gets really excessive, we'll ask you to stop.
Do not post articles in their entirety. "Fair Use" copyright law allows you to quote a few paragraphs that convey the nature of the article. Always provide a link to the entire article.
No hotlinking: Do not hotlink to images from a site that is not your own. Hotlinking is posting an image by directly linking to it from a server which you do not control. This includes avatars, signature images or pictures (allowed only if the site owner agrees). Hotlinking is bad netiquette: it robs the website owner of bandwidth and could even increase their bill.
Keep signature banners appropriately sized. Oversized banners, in pixel size or in image size, quickly graduate to being obnoxious, particularly for users who have lower resolution screens. Please keep your banners to a maximum of 50 pixels by 600, and no larger than 40 KB in size. Animations are appropriate and allowed only in chat threads.
Spam: Posts consisting of a single word or that are not helpful or contribute to the thread in any way will be removed.
Double posting: Try to refrain from double posting. If you accidently make a double post or topic, please notify the moderator to have the duplicate removed.
Caps lock and "txt" speak: Try to refrain from POSTING IN CAPS LOCK. It's annoying and unneeded. We also ask you communnicate on our forum in non-"txt" speak form.
Personal Information: Personal information such as email addresses, home addresses, phone numbers, etc, should be kept private and not be made public on our forum. We respect the personal information of others and by law we expect you to do so too.
Ban Reasons: The following are reasons for being banned from the CSBA Forum: the posting of ography; discriminatory remarks which are sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive; excessive obscene or vulgar language; images which are sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive; posts which discuss or illustrate illegal activity; providing links to sites that contain any of the aforementioned.
What does and does not constitute a violation of posting policies shall be determined solely by moderators. Any post, thread, FAQ, link, or member may be removed at any time for any reason.

Israel's political landscape has, over the past decade, been transmogrified by the growing strength of the ultra-Orthodox Sephardi party Shas (Sephardic Torah Guardians). But the conviction and recent jailing of party leader Aryeh Deri has only fortified Shas' power among an electorate of largely disenfranchised Middle Eastern Jews; the party currently holds 17 seats in the Knesset, just behind Likud. The American Jewish community, which had not previously taken much notice of Sephardic Jewry, has been shaken by the Shas phenomenon. Last week, Hebrew Union College invited Dr. Zvi Zohar, one of Israel's most astute observers of the socio-political scene, to give a lecture in Los Angeles on what many now perceive to be a permanent feature of Israeli politics.

B A+F Student Body: I have only interacted with other students online and in my dual credit high school classes. I enjoy my dual credit class interactions and liked the social responses in my online anthropology class.
C A+F Career Services: Haven't experienced this portion of school yet
C A+F Campus Resources: Computer systems down periodically when taking online classes.
A A+F Facilities: They were very helpful in academic advising to help me get the right classes and get what I needed done to be able to get an education.
C A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: There were many times that when I made a change money just "disappeared." They told me that this money was stated wrong on my site, but I still don't understand this. Also, I had to drop a couple of courses due to surgeries, and other issues, and I actually ended up paying money for it???? They need to figure their systems out. As far as my account states, vs theirs (since my "site stated wrong") I am still owed nearly $500.
A A+F Student Body: The student body has been awesome! There are many different students, from different religions, backgrounds, careers, locations, and degree they are seeking. One of my favorite times is at the beginning of the semester when we post who we are, photos, what degree we are seeking, and anything else we want to share. The diversity is exhilarating.
B A+F Overall Experience: My school has offered an accredited degree with many courses available. But, they really lack academic advisors that answer your questions and are always there to help. I have had to take over enrolling myself, and dealing with any unexpected issues, myself. However, the low cost has made getting my 2 year degree worth it. I currently have, come December, 66 credits. The hardest part is the online math courses. There is a low variety of instructors to choose from, and many put way to much points on the 2 main- non note using- exams. The biggest reason, however, for me not being sure if I would choose this school again, is that there are a lot of classes offered, but many great ones (like creative writing) are not offered online.
A A+F Career Services: The job prospects are high. Living in a different town makes you want to move closer to campus because there are constant posts on upcoming jobs, and internships.
A A+F Academic Experience: I am studying education and psychology. Some unique aspects of the teaching program is that every semester there is an OC class at the local high school. For the last couple of semester there have been 2 or less students in the class; but they still make it available. This year I am the ONLY person at the Outreach site taking the Foundations/Practicum course- but it is still open and available to me. This is awesome!
B A+F Academic Experience: The professors, on average, have been great. But there have been a few that were not there for the students, refused to help, never answered questions, etc. This is very hard on long distance learner. It is discouraging, and I have met several people who have had a hard time passing a class due to this. Another issue I have had is that there are some teacher who jump peoples grades up just because. Thankfully, the majority of the professors are great, and are there for the students. Without them many online learners would fail.
A A+F Online Courses: I have enjoyed my online courses. However, they main difficulty I have found is that the work load is about the same, but, there is less adequate communication/response time when there is a question for homework. Where we don't get the quick response like you would in class, homework becomes VERY challenging in times of un-clarity.
B A+F Facilities: The facilities are set up to emphasize what the academic program is. This brings a higher respect for the area of study.
A A+F Academic Flexibility: As I have applied to a University, I can say all my credits were excepted. The ladies in the office jumped on getting my transcripts sent so that I would know what EXACTLY I needed before actually transferring. They were great!
B A+F Campus Resources: Smartthinking; this is where we can turn in an essay, for free, as many times as we need. It is amazing and really improves the content, grammar, and grade of an essay.
A A+F Campus Resources: The network reliability is great. It has only crashed a few times. We are also given notice when ANY updates will be made; that way we can get ahead before we fall behind.
B A+F Career Services: Um I would say at this point that I don't have very good information on the topic but, I will research it.
C A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: I think that the tuition should cover expenses for the whole school year instead of for one semester. It is very frustrating for me to have to come up with another two thousand dollars that I don't have and I don't want to take out another loan.
A A+F Campus Resources: There is the hay library and other libraries around town where you can find the information that you need to complete your studies.
B A+F Campus Resources: Sometimes the computer network does start to slow down especially when they are doing maintenance on the network
B A+F Student Body: I would give this school are 4.5 because, not all of my student friends have the same standards as I do as far as keeping morally clean, and no alcohol or smoking allowed. Other than that it is great.
B A+F Online Courses: Sometimes they can be a challenge but, you need to make sure that you are in the right field and that you understand what you are studying not to mention the time that it takes away for other things that you might want to do.

I applaud the efforts to stay relevant, informational and appealing to students and faculty. For such a large institution, the web is the easiest way to connect with those looking for information. Using analytical information can be so useful when collected correctly. I wish you the best of luck with the ongoing changes and development!

In a daring operation, two crooks-for-hire rob an Atlantic City casino. But their heist goes horribly wrong, and only one of them makes it out alive. Now he's on the run with $1/2 million vacuum-packed into a bundle the size of a briefcase. Little does he know it's rigged with explosives.
Almost immediately, an expert fixer named Jack is in cross-country pursuit. With less than 48 Hours to recover the money, clean up the mess, and--for god's sake--try not to botch the job like he did last time . . .

As everyone goes Pinterest crazy, more and more stats are emerging about its potential for online retailers and marketers.
This infographic from Maxymiser contains some useful data on who is using the site, what they are doing on the site, as well as some ideas on how brands can use Pinterest.

The launch of Google+ certainly put social search on the table, raising awareness within agencies and brands alike after an initial frenzy over the combined concept in 2010.
And while separately they have their strengths, it's not an either/or situation, or even placing more emphasis on one over the other - both are an essential part of a marketer's toolkit.
Like many others, MDG Advertising suggests that the two channels hold exponentially more power when marketers use them in tandem.

Payvment, Facebook's biggest e-commerce platform, has released its first 'F-commerce Facts' study.
A series of questions was sent to a selection of companies from the company's 100,000 sellers, spread across 12 countries.
72% of the 750 respondents have less than 500 fans, so this provides a snapshot of the way small businesses view their storefronts.
The research doesn't show how successful f-commerce has been for them per se, but does suggest strong adoption of Facebook ads to aid selling (39% have used this method) - with most of those surveyed planning to use them again (70%).

Email marketing is a tricky process – done right and it can be a valuable tool for driving extra traffic to your site, but get it wrong and all your hard work will be sent to the recycling bin after a brief skim read.

Community site G+, not to be confused with Google+, has taken a look at gender difference in marketing this week - an issue that came up just this week during a session I was running on social customer service.
Though my response was that making sweeping statements about behaviour according to gender was a difficult thing to do - and isn't entirely useful - it is fair to say that in the US at least, women retain a lot of control over buying decisions.
I'd still take the stats below (based on US data) with a pinch of salt, there are nuances in demographic, platform, network - but there are some interesting findings within. Particularly the point about biological programming and the colour pink...

As we have said before on this blog, social media is not killing email, and the two are complentary partners.
New global research from e-Dialog reinforces this view, showing how email can drive interaction on social sites, and that brands' behaviour on Facebook and Twitter can make customers more receptive to emails.
Here are a few highlights from the study (registration required), and an infographic showing some of the headline stats.

As covered in our Friday round-up, last week ZDnet's Tom Foremski wrote a column that questioned the true size of social networks due to the amount of users with empty or fake profiles.
To back this up he cited analysis by Kevin Kelly, a former editor of Wired magazine, on 560,000 people that have 'circled' him on G+. The largest group of people were found to be 'ghosts' - those who hadn't even filled out profile information.
This week, social media agency Umpf has released an infographic based on a study of over 2,400 people's social habits, aiming to find out just how active UK consumers are.

Their food was Ok... I mean really, the atmosphere wants to offend. And they do that so well, the food is okay. I ate there bc someone wanted to, not bc I had a say. Publix subs are ten times better. (I'm sorry, not my style)

My son who is a student at UNF is a frequent visitor for the food but also the affordable prices. You go for the food, and as a native Floridian I would also say the local atmosphere, but it is not fancy.
Great food, service, and atmosphere. Angie's has been serving subs to the beaches since I was a teen.
Yummy sub place near jax beach. Definitely go if you're a sub lover. It's a laid back atmosphere and the Peruvian sauce is really good!
We come here every time we visit Jacksonville. Its a feel good place with great sandwiches. The workers are all very friendly and seem to really want you to have a good experience. They have a sauce on the table that is awesome. If you are in Jacksonville and don't stop here for a sandwich you are really missing out,... More
The employees are helpful, and the operation seems a well-oiled machine. With so many customers to serve, they do a good job moving people along. Make no mistake, you'll still wait about 10 - 15 minutes after ordering on a busy day, but you're moved through the line and able to find a seat within 2 minutes. Anyway, on to... More
Don't be in a big hurry - because you may have to wait in line - it is totally worth it! I've seen others get meatball subs and chef salads that looked incredible, but I have never ordered anything but the Peruvian...and I don't see that changing anytime soon. It is one of a kind and fantastic!
If you like subs then this is the place the locals frequent. Remember this place is right down the road from the beach so its not your typical restaurant if that's what your looking for. Very casual and laid back, which is the beach way. Go in with some board shorts and some flops and your right at home. They... More
Great sandwich and loved the casual dining. Will be back soon to try the other sandwiches. Got caught up looking at all of the stuff/pictures on the walls. Definitely a relaxing place to eat after a day at the beach.
Angie's has the best sub in all of Jax. The Peruvian and Del Rio are my favorites (crunchy- with fritos). Call in your order prior to getting there for quicker service. Have been going to Angie's for over 10 years and watched it expand several times. I miss the Trivia question of the day; which if you got right you... More

I waited, then finally the day has come and Angelina has begun her journey into the world of OFP. Thank you, staff of BIS, for this opportunity.
Remember this?
She has already been converted to Trainz, which made an easy transition from trueSpace to Max.
She's 44 metres long, and I'd like to make it people friendly, that is, walk around on her, land a chopper on the rear deck, pilot it, etc.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

No injuries have been reported after a Little Miami Local Schools bus was involved in a one-vehicle accident today around 11:20 a.m.
The bus had just left Harlan-Butlerville Primary School for a mid-day preschool run when the bus went off the side of Foster-Maineville Road, colliding with a telephone pole.
Ten preschool students who were on Bus 32 at the time of the crash were not injured. The bus was equipped with seat belts, and all students were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash. The bus driver was also uninjured.
Officers from Hamilton Twp., Warren County, and the Ohio Highway Patrol, along with other emergency responders reported to the scene. No one was transported to local hospitals.
Parents of the students on the bus were notified of the crash, and several students were released to their parents to be transported home, the district said.
The crash is currently under investigation by the Hamilton Twp. Police Department and other agencies.

Aravel, in a nutshell. (Stop looking at my nuts...)
Where I live: Flower Mound, TX
Why I live: Simple. My wife Polly, my daughter Alex, and my stepson Avery.
What I do: Restaurant industry, though I'm now a full-time student. Time to be smart and work smart.
What I play: PlanetSide 2, Minecraft, Torchlight 2, Borderlands 2. Basically, anything with a 2. (?)
What I don't play: Console -anything-. I also suck at anything that requires young reflexes.
What I consider a hobby: Hockey -- Stars' season ticket holder for years. Soccer -- GLORY MAN UNITED!
My Bellum Aeternus job(s)
Legate in charge of (to be determined)
Governor, PlanetSide 2 Province
Aravel's story...
I got involved with online gaming on The Sierra Network, which changed names to the ImagiNation Network (TSN/INN) way back in 1994, playing Red Baron (probably the first PvP simulator game on any sort of 'Net) and then The Shadow of Yserbius, where I got involved with roleplaying over text. When AT&T finally bought and closed INN in 1996, I moved to MUDs, and became an Admin of an Envy 2.0 MUD called Castle Arcanum.
After a year or two there, I decided to move on, and started playing Asheron's Call, and was selected as a member of the AC Online Team in early beta. It was during this time that I met Vidguy, as he was the Advocate Team Manager under whom I worked. When AC released in September of 1999, I was named as one of the six World Overseers (for the world of Harvestgain), supervising a volunteer team of 80 Advocates that assisted with in-game help requests. In June of 2000, I was hired on as a paid Online Team manager over all AC Online Team training, facilitating and creating training programs for all new volunteers. When MS disbanded the AC Online Team in February of 2001, my desire to play AC waned, and I left the game by May to look elsewhere.
Vid and I later started a guild in Dark Age of Camelot, and we played that through February of 2002. I spent much of the next year looking for a new persistent game to play, trying games such as Anarchy Online and Asheron's Call 2, though none of them were truly any good. Finally, around June of 2003, I began playing a game called PlanetSide, and hooked up with a great outfit called Bellum Aeternus. I finished CCT in July of 2003, and worked hard in the Spirit sphere developing and furthering advanced spirit tactics, including teaching the Instructor Squad Leader training. I was elevated to the position of Legate on August 16, 2003, and though I stopped playing PS a few months later, I have been fortunate enough to help further and develop the Bellum Aeternus "vehicle" into what you see today.
I assisted in the way-back-when creation days of the first WoW province that BA had (now WoW:KT), and played actively in our short-lived Battlefield 2 province. I created the role of Community Governor (with my attached-at-the-hip twin-brother Vidguy), which had me working to ensure that Bellum Aeternus continues to have something to offer its members apart from provincial benefits. I was fortunate enough to have advised the Eve Online province through its creation. I resigned this position in October of 2007, and now sit around and look important.
I also acted as the Bellum Aeternus "treasurer", and was responsible for managing our vast hoards of wealth. (Read: I rolled the pennies and took them to the grocery store.)
The allure of PlanetSide 2, coupled with school and a new job, has brought me back into the fold. I was accepted into the PlanetSide 2 beta in September 2012, and as a Council Advisor, submitted the PS2 province for approval. I was named a Governor, and was asked to rejoin the Legatus group in October.
What do I play?
DayZ (incredible mod for Arma II)
Civilization V
League of Legends
Red Orchestra 2
Orcs Must Die 2
PlanetSide 2
What am I looking forward to?
PlanetSide 2 I want to fight for the right for SaintPeter to sing!

Start checking RAM. Touch them. Are any of them hot?
Check the ROM board display, is it showing numbers other than a zero?
Start checking RAM. Touch them. Are any of them hot?
Check the ROM board display, is it showing numbers other than a zero?
Well I went ahead and got some new 4116 ram chips. I took of the old ones and started to put some new ones in and by the time I got the 3rd one in of the new ones, they were red hot!! They would actually burn your hand if you held it on for more than a few seconds. Now I know this means something, but what do I do next. I immediately pulled the plug and hopefully I didn't damage anything. I hooked the new switcher the exact same way as the old one was hooked up. I measured the +5v and it was 5.2v.. If I hooked it up wrong, would the monitor work or not??? If you need me to measure something, please be descriptive because I have no clue. Thanks.
A few other thing that happened. There were no numbers on the error light, it was kind of pulsing lightly though. Also, when I originally installed the new switcher, I put a new 7amp fuse in the original linear supply board. When I turned it on, the fuse blew instantly, but the screen came up garbled. I don't know if that tells you anything, but it seemed weird to me because I thought the switcher took over the power jobs and eliminated the need for the linear. I am totally confused!!
The first thing I would have done was dump the 4116 RAM and installed 4164 in its place, along with an adapter.
And you weren't swapping out that RAM with it ON were you? Sounds like you were.
If the chips are getting HOT to the touch, something else is wrong.
It was plugged in, but not on. I unplugged it and waited for the chips to get cool again and since the chips were probably fried already, i replugged it and they got hot right away.
I have heard about the 4164 ram, but I thought you need to mod something to do it. I was using the 4116 because it is easy swap. Like i said, I have no skill with this stuff, but I am willing to learn.
You can either modify your board, or use a plug in adapter. I have one on my site:
If the chips were getting hot when the game wasn't even on, but plugged in...that's not good at all.
I assume that using that adaptor won't solve the chips problem will it?? Do you have any ideas of what the problem is and what to do next?? I know I am probably bugging you with all the questions, but I do appreciate all the help. I was hoping it was only going to be a quick ram switch or change the power supply, but here we are.
The only thing the adapter will do is allow you to use 4164 RAM in place of the 4116 RAM that is on there now. I would definitely change it over, but the fact that the cabinet appears to be powering up even when turned off screams "problem" to me.
Well after trying to put the 4116 in and getting some smoke off the board, I posted the question over at the KLOV boards. It appears that someone may have spliced directly off the service outlet, which would keep it hot at all times when plugged in. I am not sure what to do at this point. I don't have the knowledge as I said, I am a newbie at this stuff. I would probably want to change it back to the original linear supply and fix up the hacked in wires.
The problem is I don't want to turn it on as I fear damaging more things. If I can't turn it on, I can't check voltages, so I am at a stand still now.
Any suggestions??
Two suggestions:
1) learn everything you can about cabinet wiring, and apply that knowledge towards wiring this properly.
2) have a professional (or at least someone who knows what they're doing) do it for you.
