Facing the my-new-billion-dollar-iPhone-4-has-a-design-flaw problem? Duct tape may solve your problem.
May 25, 2011 25 Email article | Print articleIf you own an iPhone 4 you probably are already aware of the must talked about iPhone 4 design flaw. Well now Consumer Reports, a nonprofit authoritative source on everything consumer, has confirmed there is indeed an iPhone 4 design flaw. Until Apple decides to man-up to their problem instead of beating around the bush and blaming software issues (or, maybe the Steve Jobs gurus are right and the rest of the tech world is wrong… who knows) by either issuing free bumpers to iPhone 4 users ("bumpers", or otherwise known as cases in the normal world, help solve the my-call-got-dropped-because-I-touched-the-iPhone-4-the-wrong-way by preventing human skins from touching the sensitive area) or potentially recalling every darn iPhone 4 out there (and there are many out there), Consumer Reports has proposed a DIY (do it yourself) fix to the problem. And the fix involves a little duct tape.
Feel free to share your thoughts or reactions in the comments below.

Reminds me of Engadgets review of Windows Mobile 6.5 when they wrote it's held together with duct tape…
Ahhh, irony is so sweet, Apple!3Apple has earned itself one of the biggest corporate black eyes this years, by not owning up to the issue and by trying to spin it instead.
A b-school case study on what not to do.
4R and D used to stand for research and development.Seems as though it's get Rich now and Deny later.How in the hell do you not find a such a glaring flaw before final release of a product?
7But if you MUST touch it, Apple will sell you a $ 79.95 color-coordinated designer glove. Guaranteed to last until the launching of IPhone 5, scheduled for AS FAST AS WE CAN !!!!!
9Heard about the fix a day or two ago on public radio – love it! My other favorite with iPhone 4 is the software fix they released to lower the AT&T bars on the screen. 'Say, let's not improve reception, let's lower expectation' seems to be the attitude…
10You just know that a cottage industry will pop up overnight, and designer rolls of duct tape will be available for a mere $19.95 per 2×3 inch roll.
12When you peel the duct tape, then there will be another problem; sticky stuff on the sides! :(
14I don't own nor do I plan to own iPohne :P
I think the other smartphones are catching up quite nicely :D15This is the reason why YOU DON'T BUY ANYTHING (most) THAT HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED!!! SEE THAT!? HUGE IPHONE 4 FLAW! NOT GOOD AT ALL!!!
16Apple needs to go back to business school and read the case study of the Johnson & Johnson Tylenol recall. It's the gold standard in business ethics classes.
18@Ashraf: However they deal with it, deal with it they must. It is not enough to shield your company behind the motto "people are not dying, so we won't so anything". Steve Jobs seems to be forgetting that just a few short years ago his company was close to extinction. It takes very little to get back to that status if you ignore your customer base.
20@Ashraf: Yes, clearly not of the same magnitude as the J&J recall. It's the openness of J&J's response that Apple has failed to emulate.
Sorry sir, is just my rule of thumb. Just like the nintendo DS, when the first "phat DS" came out, it was like "whoa double screen so cool!". Then a year later, the DS Lite came out. That's the thing.But yes, I over exaggerated that… my bad… hehe.
23Or just buy and Android based phone and leave the Lemming crowd.

So, you know that on average for every unique visitor to a product page company X makes $0.11 (= total sales revenue /total unique visitors), and say the product price is $39. Then I know that every 354 unique visitors X makes a product sale, but how do I answer the question: "out of 100 unique visitors how many buy the product?"
I'm not even sure what equation I should use. Is the answer 100/354/100 ~ 0.0028?

Hippos slaughtered by rebel group in national park
Wednesday 25 October 2006
Hippos falling victim to a poaching spree in a national park could die out in the area unless the culling stops, Zoological Society of London conservationists are warning. We are launching an appeal to raise funds for extra ranger training.
A Congolese militia group is already thought to have killed half the hippo population in Virunga National Park since setting up a base there two weeks ago. Lake Edward, in the centre of the park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was once central to Africa's greatest concentration of these magnificent beasts.
During the last fortnight alone, more than 400 hippos have been slaughtered as well as a number of buffalo, elephants and other animals. The main cause is the area's use as a base for a rebel group known as the Mai Mai who eat and sell hippo meat and ivory, found in the hippo's canine teeth. The group has also attacked a number of conservation rangers and their families.
Years of conflict have already had a devastating impact on the hippo population. A recent ZSL sponsored survey reported less than 900 remaining in the park – a dramatic decline from the 22,000 recorded there in 1988. If the killing continues at its current rate, ZSL field workers fear there will be no hippos left in many parts of the national park by Christmas.
An elite ranger team of the ICCN (Congolese Conservation Institute) has already been established to protect wildlife in Virunga after a recent project between ZSL and other conservation organisations.
Funded by the European Union, ZSL will continue to work with the ICCN in order to reinforce ranger capacity to combat threats to the national park. The 180-year-old charity, which runs London Zoo and Whipsnade Wild Animal Park and has conservation projects in more than 30 countries, is already helping to supplement the income of the park rangers and training them in anti-poaching and conservation techniques with help from EU funding.
ZSL's Bushmeat and Forests Conservation Programme Coordinator, Lyndsay Gale, said: "This is one of the biggest challenges the park rangers have had to face since the war. It comes as a devastating blow after recent surveys indicated wildlife populations were beginning to recover from over a decade of civil war, due to the commitment and dedication of the rangers. They need our support."
ZSL is launching an appeal to raise funds for extra ranger training needed in Virunga National Park to safeguard the remaining hippo population.
Donate online, help support our work.
- Global common hippo populations have suffered a 20 per cent decline in the last 10 years and were put onto the IUCN red list of endangered species – listed as vulnerable – for the first time this year (2006).
- The Congolese government provides a salary of just $1 per day to rangers. This wage is supplemented by ZSL, which also helps to fund training, rations, transport and medical supplies.
- Hippo meat is now being sold in local markets around Lake Edward for just 20 cents (about 15p) per kilo because the market is so overwhelmed.
- Field workers from ZSL have been present in Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 2001 and play a role in the management of the park by working with the ICCN to conserve the many endangered species living there.
- The Bushmeat and Forests Conservation Programme is one of six major conservation progammes currently being run by ZSL. The programme is centred on equatorial Africa, and focuses on bushmeat research in West and Central Africa, and national park development in Gabon and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
- Donations towards the Virunga conservation project can be made online or by sending cheques made payable to the Zoological Society of London to Lyndsay Gale, Bushmeat and Forests Conservation, London Zoo, Outer Circle, London, NW1 4RY.

Down East 2013 ©
Previously, in Island Wars… [1] When he was sent to cover Grand Seal Island, reporter Donovan Graham thought he was being banished to a sleepy Maine backwater where nothing interesting ever happened. Then he jumped into some wild parties, risked his feet in a firewalking ritual, fell madly in love with a beautiful sculptress, smashed most of his body in an effort to experience lobster fishing, met a crusty old man whose deceased wife used to poach ducks for fun, and got involved with a whole lot of other things he never expected. With the summer winding down, he tries to make sense of it all and look ahead to his next assignment. Click here [2] to read earlier entries, or read on to see Van's latest update.
I needed someone to talk to. The referendum had been a pleasant distraction, but my thoughts quickly returned to Eliza's death. Ever since I had scraped myself off the eastern beach, I'd been wandering The Village, looking for a good listener. Apparently, all the good listeners in The Village had already headed south, to warmer beaches. So I tried The Town.
In a town full of strange, straightlaced, uptight Quakers, exactly where does one go to talk about the suicide of a woman so beautiful she could inspire lust at a thousand paces? The local tavern? It's run by Cory, who'd probably tell me to grow the hell up, and then kick me in the crotch to make sure I was paying attention. The local library? The librarian would probably lust after Eliza as much as I did. The minister? In a Quaker Meeting, that could be anyone. The Meeting itself was helpful, but I needed a one-on-one conversation.
So I stopped by The Larboard for a bottle of white wine, and then I walked down the porch and knocked on the door. Cory had sold me the wine, so I had a fifty-fifty chance.
Meg opened the door.
She looked beautiful in a grey beret that matched the grey of her eyes, and she smiled when she saw me. I asked whether she wanted to go for a walk down the beach.
We strolled away from The Town and toward peace and privacy. I wanted to ask Meg if she knew about Eliza, but I found the question hard to put into words. The sentence would bring the dirt and squalor and excess of The Village into Meg's charming and easy and rosy world, and that didn't seem fair. Sure, life in The Town isn't exactly like growing up on Sunnybrook Farm, especially when you consider the murders, drug peddling, incest, feuding, and political craftiness that scuttles beneath the surface like a school of piranha in a calm lake — craftiness that Meg seems surprisingly skilled at — but it seemed cruel to inject the mindless abuses of The Village into it anyway.
So we walked in silence along the beach, and then Meg spoke.
"You really miss her, don't you?" she asked, taking my hand.
I couldn't answer. I just nodded.
"You brought some wine?" Meg asked.
I nodded again.
"Perfect," she said with a smile. "That's the start of the cure."
Meg's smile is enigmatic and exciting, like Mona Lisa when she's feeling horny. It's a spectacular combination of delight, lechery, warmth, promise, guile, and smirking humor. You don't notice it when you first meet her. She's too easy to stuff into the sweet-and-innocent box without a second look. But the arousing complexity of that smile reveals itself eventually.
I wondered how she knew about Eliza, but I didn't ask.
We walked to the northeast, along the shore. The tide was low, and when we reached the northernmost point of land — Meg kept on walking. At first, I found the image disturbing; I had watched its parallel in The Village. But then I saw that Meg was walking on a chain of rocks that led out to a tiny little sandy island.
When we got there, wet shoes and all, Meg led me to the far side. The island has a small hump in it, so when you're sitting on the seaward side you can't see any other land or any other people. It's just you and the ocean and the sun.
Or in this case, us and the ocean and the sun.
"This is where I come to think and to be alone," Meg explained. "I call it Out of Step Island, 'cause I come here when I'm feeling out of step with the world."
She stared out at the sea. "Which is pretty often actually. I'm sure other people come out here, and they have other names for it, but when I'm here, this is Out of Step Island. You can only walk here during low tide. Sometimes, if I sit out here and think long enough, I get trapped by the tide and have to swim in or wait."
She paused again.
"I've never brought anyone else here before," she added.
We sat on the sandy strip, staring out to sea like two old people on a porch. I hadn't thought to bring cups, so I opened the wine and handed her the bottle. She took a deep swig and handed it back to me, all the while smiling and looking straight at me.
After a while of enjoying the sound of the waves and the silence, I wanted to talk about Eliza. Meg seemed to understand.
"So," I said. "You're a Quaker. Doesn't that mean you're a minister or something?"
Meg nodded. "We all are," she said. "Not just Quakers — everybody. You're in touch with God as easily as I am."
"Then how come I never know what's going on?"
"Maybe some people have thought about some things more than others," she said, fussing with her dark-brown ponytail.
"What makes you think I can chat with the Big Guy?" I asked.
"Look at me," Meg said. She grabbed my face and held it in her hands, firmly. I had no choice but to look straight into her eyes.
Damn. Her eyes are incredible. They're grey, but not cold or hard. Warm grey, like a smoke-colored cat. Intriguing, like rivers that flow underground.
"When I look into your eyes, what do I see?" she asked.
I shrugged. "Retinas?"
"I see you," she said, not taking the humor bait. "But what are you?"
I opted against another joke. I stayed silent.
"The you that I see in there — the you that you know you are — that's your soul. This isn't hard — you already know that. What's your soul? A spirit. Where did it come from? The Source of all spirits. God. You, Donovan Graham, are a little droplet of God."
She took her hands away from my face, but her storm-cloud eyes never left mine. I didn't say anything. I swam in those rich grey eyes for a while longer, then I looked back at the sea.
"What does this have to do with Eliza?" I asked.
Meg took my hand and kissed it.
"I hear she was gorgeous," she said. "Well, the part of her that men gawked at — the part of her that you gawked at — is gone. That's OK — we're all made out of mud. But the part that mattered, the bit of God in her, has moved from time into eternity. Mourn her departure, sure, but understand this — right now, at this very moment, she doesn't miss this absurd universe one bit."
I thought about that for a while, and then I kissed her. For a very long time. — Donovan Graham, "The Shadowless Writer"
Comment — Edith5545: Good for you, dear. That Meg seems like a nice girl.
Comment — BinoMan211: Whatever. No one could possibly be as awesome as Eliza.

If they're lying, this answer would look better after the fact than the one they did give, which is more definitive (presuming its translated correctly). However, if they really do have no plans on doing a third Haruhi season, maybe it is better to say "We have no plans for a third Haruhi season" in order to quash all hope right now and get it over with. I have to admit that I'm not feeling terribly optimistic right now about the future of the Haruhi anime franchise.

So? I still laugh at the ending of Endless Eight. It is so over the top (with heroic style classical music as well) it comes off great.
While I was bored of the repeating story, I amused myself looking at the differences, and there are a lot of those. The activities and dialogue migth be almost exactly the same (when the activity was presented) but the style and clothing is different each time. The mood is even different between the different versions. It is also a rediculous thing to talk about to people who don't watch the show. It proves to be a funny thing to talk about.

For all we know they could be playing mind games with us--for example, claiming later that there's no third season because the one that they are working on is actually the second season since they previously declared the 2009 stuff to be an addendum to the first season.

To ensure everyone is on the same page, here is the article that prompted the ANN one. It basically details that the events in June prompted many fans to "wish" for a third season (which was not fulfilled) and that the second one was aired three years after the first one. It then details about Hirano's tweets and the uproar they caused. But the important parts are at the end.
The article immediately follows that statement and ends the article with this: Quote:
No direct quote, but it is a summery of someone's statements. Make of that what you will.

Before any more chicken littles get their feathers ruffled, I get the impression that right now there are no plans, but in the future, who knows?

What only interest me in the both the anime and the movie is the "romantic link" between Kyon and Haruhi.
Actually, I was happy on what Kyon's reactions in the movie..."Ah, I can't move, I need....her... talk to her...!"

Or possibly a theatrical version of the Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya and direct-to-BD OVAs of "Charmed At First Sight LOVER", "Snowy Mountain Syndrome" and "Where Did The Cat Go" since Japanese Otaku primarily collect Blu-Ray these days. Of course, if they are going that route, I pray for an OVA of "Rainy Day" so my longing for animated Sasaki is granted.

After using multiple translation engines and reading some translations of the statements, it seems to me that the part with kadokawa staing what they are doing about a 3rd haruhi season is that "was not scheduled for 3 season of the series" Remember what mr. T said before the disappearance? That it wont always be the "melancholy". I think we are being seriously trolled, or they are making it but havn't decided when it will be broadcasted. Or they could be straight out lying. Aya most likley has a NDA and cant say anything aobut her new project. And If KyoAni went ahead and said oh yeah we are making/planning on broadcasting HS3 then her whole cover is blown and I would guess that would cause a lot of trouble. Hell maybe KyoAni is the one who had her sign the NDA and now they are trying to wave off the media. Either way, Haruhi will continue as an anime, either in OVA, another movie, or another season. it's only a matter of time. My guess, is spring 2012. That would be 3 years after the 2009 season 2/season 1 rebroadcast with new episodes. and 6 years after season 1. If not anything by Spring 2012 at least an announcement. Maybe we will get some special news on the 18th of December? Or one of the special days that are talked about during TDOHS. You never know. As for me, I won't abandon ship. For me, haruhi-ism will always exist, with or without the anime.

I would not be surprised if the new season/series would be titled "The Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya", since we are expecting that it will cover the stories up to the end of "Intrigues" ("Snow Mountain Syndrome" and "The Melancholy of Mikuru Asahina" being pretty much required for the plot and thus unskippable). I would anticipate an episode plan something like:
1: Love at First Sight 2-3: Snow Mountain Syndrome 4: Where Did the Cat Go? 5: Intrigues (Prologue) 6: The Melancholy of Mikuru Asahina 7-12: Intrigues (Main) 13-14: ??? (extra story?) |

You could pretty much fold Where Did the Cat Go into the second half of Snow Mountain, giving you with a balance like:
1: Charmed at First Sight Lover 2: Snow Mountain Syndrome I 3: Snow Mountain Syndrome II/Where Did the Cat Go? 4: Intrigues I 5: The Melancholy of Mikuru Asahina 6-11: Intrigues II-VII 12-13: Editor-in-Chief: Straight Up! 14: Wandering Shadow I think they'd have trouble fitting the trilogy into one season as it is, so I'd rather see them put Vol 8 in the next season.

Unless they decided to match the 28 episodes of the combined 2006 and 2009 seasons in one go (which is pretty much what they have done with each series since then). Or maybe slightly less with 26 episodes and pair of OVAs.

i actually returned the item, the inside color came through with an off color staining result. The jacket seemed shy on down too.. Compared to the Patagonia jackets it does not hold up.

Awesome Jacket

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Awesome jacket! Warm, light, perfect fit and compact for backpacking.Only drawback was the down has started to make it's way out through small holes in the jacket. Very little though and since this is my first down jacket, it might be normal. Don't know. Getting zipped up is a bit tricky because the zipper is a bit tough to connect. But that's minor.Overall, for what I need it for, it's perfect.

I will never ride without one... That is unless I'm going only a block or 2 in my sub which is 15mph... I'd like to think I'm athletic enough to avoid hitting my head if I crash. Actually, if I crash... I probably deserve to hit my head...
That being said... I'm a survival of the fittest kind of guy. I think a few less warning labels would be good for society. That, or a good plague. So let them do what they want... As long as there's legislation that protects me as a motorist.
My car will be a mess if I hit one of these fools.
Never will you catch me riding without a helmet.
I'm waiting to see what it's gonna do to insurance rates.
Was talking to a friend today who is an insurance agent, and he says auto and motorcycle insurance rates will go up due to this. The MCCA, which all of us who pay for car/bike insurance in Michigan pay into will go up as well.
So, not only will those of us who obey the law and drive with our vehicles properly insured have to pay for those who do not drive with insurance, but we will have to pay for motorcyclists who choose to not wear a helmet and become vegetables when they wreck their bikes without a lid on. Seems fair.

Apply to Author a Module or Course in Geoscientific Thinking, Societal Issues, or Teacher Preparation
Proposal Deadlines are December 15, 2012, and February 15, 2013
InTeGrate is seeking proposals from faculty and instructors to author new undergraduate-level teaching materials and model courses focused on:
- Developing students' geoscientific thinking skills
- A course for geoscience majors that focuses on the nature and methods of investigation of geoscience
- A module for courses in other scientific disciplines that focuses on the methods of investigation used by geoscientists
- A module that focuses on developing students' ability to work across spatial or temporal scales and makes the nature of that ability explicit
- A module for upper level content courses for geoscience majors that focuses on uncertainty in geoscience data
- A set of materials that can be integrated throughout an existing geoscience content course (introductory or upper-level) that helps make geoscientific thinking explicit
- Integrating geoscience concepts into teaching about societal issues outside of geoscience programs
- A course that integrates humanities with sustainability education
- A module that addresses the nexus of civic engagement and the STEM curriculum
- A course that brings together economics, ethics and science to address sustainability
- A module that highlights the value of multidisciplinary understanding of problems
- A course that uses team teaching with faculty from a variety of departments to strengthen students' systems thinking
- Integrating linkages to societal issues into upper division geoscience courses
- A module for an economic geology course that explores the economics of a mineral deposit.
- A module for a geophysics or tectonics course that explores the risks associated with seizmic hazards
- A capstone geoscience course that integrates geoscience and ethics to address an issue related to resource scarcity
- Integrating geoscience methods and concepts into elementary and/or secondary teacher preparation curricula
- A module for an elementary science methods course focused on the unique aspects of geoscience and how it differs from experimental science
- A field-based course for secondary science education majors that focuses on the process and methods of investigation used by geoscientists
- A module for a geoscience content course that is aimed towards elementary education majors
- A course for secondary Earth science teaching majors that emphasizes the teaching of geoscience in the context of societal issues
Note: Authors interested in introductory geoscience, environmental science, or environmental studies are directed to this year's call for introductory modules.
Proposals may be for modular materials that will support approximately two weeks of instruction, for materials that will support repeated shorter implementation of content across an entire course, or for development of an entirely new course.
All materials will be developed, tested and published by collaborative teams drawn from a minimum of three institutions. Teams may have three to five members depending on the scale of the proposed materials. Each team member will receive a $15,000 stipend for their work authoring, testing, revising, and publishing the teaching materials and supporting materials for faculty. All materials will be published on the InTeGrate website and will be freely available to faculty for educational use. Proposals may come from fully formed teams, from partially formed teams, or from individuals. If you have a proposal idea and are seeking additional team members or if you would like to explore proposals seeking team members, please visit the Seeking Team Members page.
Learn more about the InTeGrate materials development and testing process and requirements for authors.
Proposals will be selected based on:
- alignment of the proposed materials with one of the foci described above
- the proposed mechanisms for linking geoscience and societal issues, developing systems thinking, developing geoscientific thinking skills, integrating data, and improving students ability to address interdisciplinary problems.
- the effective use of research based teaching methods that engage students in learning
- the potential for widespread adoption of the proposed materials or course materials
For additional information please contact: Cathryn Manduca (cmanduca at carleton.edu) or Anne Egger (annegger AT geology.cwu.edu)

RGB is correct (with his comments below). I forgot to add that all of our main server rooms have conditioned power (we've checked on that one), UPSes for the room, and diesel backup for some of them. I guess that's why we haven't had any trouble :) Seriously, we did have one cluster in a room without conditioned power, UPS, or diesel backup for about 24 months without any trouble. The only trouble we had was that some numnuts decided it would be good to use raised floor area for a conference room and the people in the conference room decided it was too cold and turned off the AC! I can't tell you how many times I heard the temperature alarm and had to run down there and turn the AC back on! The last time I did it, I burst into the conference room and yelled at a number of people for endangering our $350,000 cluster and their lives.

Know what's better than Skyrim? Plus other Steam deals.
Tuesday, December 20th, 2011Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale. Recettear is better than Skyrim. There, I've said it. And you can pick up Recettear for $5 on Steam today.
After having played it through (twice), I can safely say I'm a fan of Recettear. First off, it is an Indie game. Not some AAA hotshot title that everyone talks about incessantly. It is budget-friendly. While not a AAA title, it is still a lot of fun. It doesn't have a ESRB rating, but if it did, it would probably be E10+ – due to some mild innuendo, cartoon violence, and a few drinking/alcohol references. It has a better Metacritic user rating than Skyrim. There is no cussing or other foul language. There is no gore/blood. The story – it has an actual story – is charming, entertaining, and will touch your heart. It is a different type of RPG: You play from the perspective of an item shop owner in a RPG where you open an item shop to pay off a debt your father left behind (probably deceased). And it offers an actual challenge to players. When was the last time a RPG actually forced you to put on your thinking cap? Plus, Recettear has educational value in critical-thinking skills in regards to finances – but that is secondary to the fun you'll have learning those lessons.
Now that I've got all the Skyrim fanboys riled up, onto today's Steam deals worth getting:
Recettear (seriously – go get this game right now)
Half-Life Complete (or Orange Box)
LEGO Batman (or just get the WB Complete Pack)
Chantelise (older game by the same authors as Recettear, actual RPG though)
Costume Quest (Wrong holiday…LOL – but it supposedly has magical unicorns with rainbows – nothing can possibly go wrong with that, right?)

Ronald Reagan on Free TradePresident of the U.S., 1981-1989; Republican Governor (CA) | |
I informed the administration, which opposed the bill, that my support for the legislation prevented me from performing my whip duties. My chief deputy whip and I both recused ourselves.
Still, the bill passed, only to be promptly vetoed by the president. I did lead the drive to override the president's veto in an exhaustive campaign, and we managed to get 276 votes--71 Republicans and 205 Democrats. But it takes 2/3 of the votes to override a president, and our tally of 276-149 fell eight votes short.
In 1985, the dollar, at 220 to the yen, was still too high to arrest the rising U.S. trade deficit. The Big Three were at death's door. Refusing to let any of them go under, Reagan intervened to save the industry by imposing import quotas on Japanese cars. Free traders denounced Reagan as a heretic. The death of Ford and Chrysler were of far less concern to them than fidelity to the free-trade gospel of David Ricardo and Adam Smith.
But Reagan's intervention succeeded. The U.S. auto industry was saved. By now, the boom of the 1980s was underway, propelled by the tax cuts of Reagan and the sound money policy of the Fed.
It was Reagan who first articulated a goal of free trade in the Western Hemisphere. America's first free trade agreement with Israel, implemented in 1985, was a Reagan achievement. A US-Canada agreement followed. In 1986, Reagan launched the Uruguay Round, a series of talks aimed at the reduction of trade barriers among more than 60 nations. NAFTA, providing substantial trade benefits to US firms seeking to conduct business in Mexico and Canada--our best customers--was another initiative of the Reagan-Bush years.
Reagan's faith in free trade principles was vindicated abroad by the crumbling of state-controlled, centrally directed communist economies.

Results of the 2010 AAPA Physician Assistant Census Survey indicate that the mean total income from primary employer for PAs who are not self-employed and who work full time is approximately $91,500. As of May 2010 there are 81,000 certified PAs in the US and 87.7% of those are practicing. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics report projected PA as the third fastest growing occupation from 2006-2016 and predicts the total number of PA jobs will increase by 27% in this period. The PA profession was ranked the fourth fastest growing profession in the country by CNN.com and Forbes.com in 2007 and one of the best careers by US News and World Report in 2007.
The Marquette PA program has an attrition rate of 1.3% (2013) compared to the 2010-2011 national average of 2.6% (withdrawn/dismissed) and 3.2% (decelerated) according to the PAEA.
According to our most recent survey of graduates, the Marquette PA program class of 2012 had a 100% job placement rate.
Applicants can get the most from Marquette's Jesuit experience by beginning their college studies as freshmen majoring in biomedical sciences and declaring pre-PA status.
Each year, the PA program accepts 55 individuals. Students are selected from both internal applicants consisting of Marquette undergraduates and external applicants consisting of graduates and undergraduates from other universities. The exact makeup of each selected class varies from year to year. The target class makeup includes 27 +/- 5 Marquette undergraduate students. The program strives for a qualified yet diverse Physician Assistant class.

K-Cup soups -- billed as freshly brewed soups -- are on the way, expected to hit the market next year. (Campbell Soup Co. / Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc.) |
K-Cup soup? Hold onto your Cronuts, Ramen Burgers and taco waffles! There's a brand-new hybrid in town, a mash-up that turns your Keurig K-Cup coffee maker into a Campbell's soup dispenser.
Campbell's Soup Co. and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. have joined forces on a new line of "fresh brewed soups" expected to hit the market in 2014, including a spin-off of the Homestyle Chicken Broth & Noodle line.
PHOTOS: Food mash-ups: 10 crazy hybrids
So many questions. Such as: Huh? How? And why?
And, most urgently, will my coffee end up tasting like chicken noodle soup?
Campbell's spokeswoman Carla Burigatto said the soup pods will work much like the coffee, tea, and hot chocolate pods that currently pair up with Keurig machines. A soup pod will go into the machine and deliver a "flavorful hot broth." That broth goes over a packet of dry pasta and vegetable blend garnish, and into a bowl or mug.
The Associated Press quotes Green Mountain as saying its machines are designed to be self-cleaning, so there's no danger of chicken soup coffee.
Now, as for the "Why?"...
Let's go back to the news release: "Snacking is a growing behavior among U.S. consumers, with more than half snacking multiple times a day. Consumers are also looking for snacks that serve as mini-meals to satisfy hunger, and there is an increasing need for ultra convenient options."
The companies say the idea went through extensive consumer testing, and was met with enthusiasm.
What do you think? Do you want to use your Keurig coffee maker for fresh brewed soup?

Marcel Vigneron To Cook For The SyFy Channel
Filed under: Dining
Plenty of chefs get a show on the Food Network but only one, former Top Chef competitor, Marcel Vigneron, has been tapped by the SyFy channel. The bombastic and entertainingly coiffed chef will star in Marcel's Quantum Kitchen, a reality series that will focus on Vigneron's catering company. Why SyFy? Vigneron's specialty is molecular gastronomy and he has a particular love of breaking foods down into foams and other creative substances. It's not quite sci-fi but it's close enough.
Eater LA also reports that Vigneron has created a menu of small plate specialties for bar 210 and plush, the jewel-toned double threat bar and nightclub that replaced the venerable Trader Vic's in the Beverly Hills Hilton.

Red Hook Crit No. 4
The other night New York City was gifted the opportunity to see an amazing spectacle. The Red Hook Criterium sent 150 cyclists spinning around a foreboding crit course through the industrial wasteland of Red Hook on brakeless fixed gear bicycles. The beauty of Dave Trimble's event is that he manages to attract all walks of cycling life to the show. There are roadies, mountain bikers, track racers, and fixed-gear-freestyler-working-messenger-kids (or whatever the approved moniker is for this sub genre of cycling). A friend mentioned "this feels like high school, in a good way." We all laughed, but she was very right. Although, I don't remember having so much fun in high school.
The riders battled 20 degree temps to spin hot laps around the course. Fortunately for the spectators, our friends at La Colombe were pouring coffee (gratis) from their own H-Van. How could you not love these folks? That same H-Van added to the spectacle by parading the riders around the course for the opening lap. Although a parade lap would certainly be all the little van could handle for after the sound of the gun the race became excruciatingly fast.
The lead group drove such a pace that it quickly became a 4 person breakaway. After shedding riders one by one for 45 minutes, Mr. Daniel Chabanov would go on to win his second consecutive Red Hook Crit and thousands of New Yorkers would be thankful to have such a vibrant cycling community.

Nice piece, sounds like a fun night, but 'gifted'? Gifted is an adjective, not a verb - given would be a much better choice. Sorry to be nit picky people saying 'gifted' really annoys me - I probably just need another coffee and a bit of a lie down :-)

It's a case of TV cycle commentary chat ("…Lance Armstrong gifted Pantani the win…") filtering down into web cycle reporting. And a lot of that TV cycle commentary chat comes from English-speaking ex-pros who have learnt another language and then, subconsciously, reconciled the two languages. I would write more but the man with the hammer has got me in the final.

Gifted can be used as a verb. This usage is quite common and not a result of TV commentary e.g. A:"when did you get that lovely Rapha club jersey", B: "it was gifted to me by a fat man in a red suit ". Is this a cycing blog??

The New York Times is reporting today that the nuclear crisis in Japan may have a direct impact on American drilling, as global business analysts predict a surge in natural gas demand in the coming weeks and years. Compared to the perceived instability of nuclear energy, the environmental toll of coal mining, and the safety risks involved in deepwater oil drilling, natural gas is being viewed by many as the safe fuel alternative.
From the NYT:
Still, with the global demand for energy expected to grow by double digits in coming decades, analysts are anticipating a new boom in gas consumption. Given the growing concerns about nuclear power and the constraints on carbon emissions, one bank, Société Générale, called natural gas the fuel of "no choice."
"At the end of the day, when you look at the risk-reward equation, natural gas comes out as a winner," said Lawrence J. Goldstein, an economist at the Energy Policy Research Foundation. "It's a technical knockout."
Financial markets have already started to price in this new interest in gas. Since the disaster in Japan, uranium prices have dropped by 30 percent, while natural gas prices in Europe and the United States have risen by about 10 percent. Officials from several countries, including China, Germany, Finland and South Africa, said they would review their nuclear strategies.

During an ileostomy, a surgeon removes the colon (large intestine) and part of the last section of the ileum (small intestine) if they are diseased. The surgeon may disconnect parts of the intestine if they have been injured. Disconnection allows time for injured intestines to heal; then they are reconnected. During the ileostomy, the end of the ileum is brought through the abdominal wall. This makes an opening, called a stoma, for stool and mucus to pass out of the body. The following are general guidelines to follow after your ileostomy. Your doctor and ostomy nurse will go over any information that is specific to your condition.
Don't lift anything heavier than 5 pounds until your doctor says it is okay.
Don't drive until after your first post-surgery doctor appointment.
If you ride in a car for more than short trips, stop frequently to stretch your legs.
Ask your doctor about when you can expect to return to work. Most people are able to return to work within 4 to 6 weeks after surgery.
Increase your activity gradually. Take short walks on a level surface.
Don't overexert yourself to the point of fatigue. If you become tired, rest.
Take care of your stoma as directed. Your doctor and ostomy nurse discussed how to do this with you before you left the hospital.
Ask your doctor or ostomy nurse for a patient education sheet about ileostomy care before you leave the hospital. This will help remind you how to care for yourself.
Ask your doctor to prescribe medications to reduce the output from your ostomy if necessary.
Don't be alarmed by bowel movements that contain mucus. This is normal following this procedure.
Shower or bathe as instructed by your doctor.
Wash the incision site with soap and water and pat dry.
Check your incision every day for redness, drainage, swelling, or separation of the skin.
Don't take any over-the-counter medication unless your doctor tells you to do so.
Make a follow-up appointment as directed by our staff.
Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following:
Excessive bleeding from your stoma
A change in your stoma's color or
a stoma that looks like it's getting longer
Bulging skin around your stoma
Blood in your stool
Fever above 101.5°F (38.6°C) or shaking chills
Redness, swelling, bleeding, or drainage from your incision
Constipation or diarrhea
Nausea or vomiting
Increased pain
