Now you probably know what Jessica -- from big screen hits like in the fantastic fall but you might not know -- that sheet is an entrepreneur to.
She started her own line of organic baby products Jessica Alba -- the company right now here in New York City Jessica welcome to the program.
This is called -- -- baby products -- honest is not well -- food.
We're hoping there Aaron it's actually just non toxic.
-- -- -- -- We do want you to Terry and -- so.
And boy ill body oil analyst ingenuity -- and like.
Have you just started this I have had you not put your name on it because you have a very big name and that will encourage sales.
I don't know if that's.
If that's gay come -- -- call that that case I actually just.
I -- as a mother I want in this company to exist because I found it really confusing to try and buy products from my family that are safe and non toxic.
And most conventional.
Brands that I grew up fine and that and most people by.
And in regular retailers.
Are -- with toxic chemicals that are linked to -- cancers.
Lots carcinogens.
-- -- autism obesity things like that this is -- All who -- Green products I think Susan from.
I don't yet it's not it's more about just being nontoxic.
That it is about you know having -- if analytical I want them both some Johnson's baby -- -- he's been on the market for decades -- just took off the shelf Johnson and Johnson's been here for him but not forever.
-- -- it's it's actually has a toxic chemical that was linked to something is horrible that was affecting kids health.
And moms.
Set up and said we don't want this little Green and this has been rumors that took office tells them so you have you jumped on the non toxic bandwagon to some I want healthy children.
-- gotten a piece of the action I mean obviously you do.
Is this -- honest is the name of the company front wouldn't.
I mean it was inspired my daughter honor and you have a piece of that company I created the company you did you -- it thoroughly 100%.
-- know I have this is hard to get venture capital from some of them.
We've got available to -- capital from.
Wednesday morning because they had you know a -- from banks or venture capitalists.
SM BC's.
Some venture capitalists -- How do you feel about paying half -- income in taxes I think parity do it.
It either I mean -- -- about I think 848% and then with agents on that really -- and 75%.
Everything -- -- -- out the door do you feel -- you are going to that place since I was twelve William -- well you're wealthy young woman I mean do you feel that that it's legit.
I say it never feels if you think we hear like okay thank you representative of what I just made -- up the door.
And so I just kind of budget my life accordingly because I know that's just that's the deal.
Over the are you gonna manufacturers in the United States or -- most of it as long as you grow grow grow you think you give it to stay with that commitment.
I sure hope so that the idea was to make the company.
Here and when it create jobs and pain and percent of our company but -- it's ultimately -- creating a great product and jobs more important profits.
I think there's a balance.
Obviously you need to have a successful business -- to have I need be competitive if you could -- cheaper in China which it.
You know it would not we had that option we didn't you actually would not he can Mickey Barnett is Arnie is get it -- but if you made it cheaper in Mexico would -- -- -- in Mexico.
I don't know.
We're making everything here for -- -- wanted to have a case somebody comes to you and says com Jessica.
I can make that Babyshambles.
The price and an American manufacturer so you reject low priced those costs.
We won't mean what a candidate is an exception China want what you reject -- yeah.
I need for us as a company wanted to control the experience.
And they wanted to go to our manufacturers that elect factories and I hate to pick and you have got to China's you -- What -- OK it's a little.
I mean for us -- -- where tiny little company.
And for us it was easier for us control here I I mean I don't have.
I had to -- a five a six month old and a three -- -- like I don't have time to fly to China and try and and manage that process there I.
And it didn't -- you're not putting enough weight on the notion that mothers are would spend the sun moon and the stars make sure that what goes into that -- on Nike even down to the diaper on his little -- It safe and and there's no chemicals and the last thing I would want to see is that it was made in China.
Do you feel threatened by existing baby products threatened to you.
Do you feel that it is an existing baby products that are on the market in the United States of America all unhealthy and -- for your children you did that data analyzed all -- yeah.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Good evening that they and they found that there was such a high level of arson.
And apple juice and angry -- -- that we give our children that we think we're giving them healthy drink it's not soda.
Can you should not -- child who has died nor -- and I'm with you know from our mission to bring my kind of breaks out and nobody I showed himself and you show memo a child is there any kind of study that says.
This office neck in great Jews is really poaching our children.
My this partner read a book called healthy child healthy world.
And it was basically.
This woman was pregnant she was explodes exposed to a toxin and their daughter died of cancer at age four.
And -- delete this chemical that she's exposed you know.
To that specific type of cancer that this child died from so there are actual links.
Last question I'm done with it and we -- not to -- this I'm with last question just doesn't think it is -- itself how to handle money.
You have what you -- IA I have some oil I have a business manager.
But I make sure that I don't spend more than -- -- -- -- That now that that's a phone.
-- that really is good Jessica -- it was a pleasure having you with -- who wish the best of luck with the new company well yes very good to see you think -- Time for a check on the markets segment.
Look at the big -- it's still dead flat folks it's down 38 that's all we've got to look at a price of oil -- at a 1010 yeah we're at a 101 now.
And look at the price of gas 351.
Remember please when President Obama was inaugurated it was a -- -- 84 and many predict full bucks a gallon of by the spring of this year.
Joining the company now is Patrick -- Honda with gas Barbie dot com Patrick.
I'm gonna put you on hold for a moment just although on second because I have Jessica Alba still sitting next to me almost set your new -- and I'm gonna ask if she will kindly autograph my notes.
To my daughter Angela would you do that.
Right down please.
-- and.
His acting it ripped apart maybe try that I -- -- -- -- -- anime and I'm looking -- curious about it because I it's it's -- calling that.
That chemical companies.
Are completely unregulated we don't give it.
Chemical companies are completely -- -- regular tests that have.
Calls before they invest and can't.
That unregulated -- that's not true.
Okay out of the I think they're -- chemicals that they won't allow I think make them tax out of me.
Thousands and thousands like.
And chemicals that are and everything -- really ought to test 880000.
This -- absolutely -- test every chemical that they're gonna -- are in and around our children.
-- -- I don't think -- chemicals back I think some chemicals could have an adverse effect on how the part it's -- to act Angela she's right next -- -- not -- -- -- You know take -- -- again.

Assuming that Fortran compilers produce more optimized code then C++ (I have a feeling that the people at the Free Software Foundation, www.gnu.org, would have issue with this but...) then you have a trade off. Do you want more optimized code, lets say 50% faster, or do you want more features for you program? Many more features. Software benefits, like us, from evolution. I find that C and Fortran code tends to get written and stay static where as C++, Ada, Eiffel code grows and changes over time to address the ideas and problems that the old code produced. And, sometimes smarter code is faster that more optimized code. Just my thoughts. -Mike Garriss -----Original Message----- From: graham.mullier at syngenta.com [mailto:graham.mullier at syngenta.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 4:51 AM To: beowulf at beowulf.org Cc: rgb at phy.duke.edu Subject: RE: C++ programming (was Newbie Alert: Beginning parallel program ming with Scyld) I do find these religious wars amusing. A small point following the F****** is better/oh no it isn't stuff: compiler writers can no doubt correct me but I'm reasonably convinced that in many cases Fortran (77 rather than 90 or later) is sufficiently limited in the language constructs possible that the compiler is better able to optimise the code. That's better than a random sample of code written in, say, C, not code written really carefully knowing exactly how the compiler will map code onto the underlying hardware architecture.

If you have a simplistic work unit model with a round robin work unit scheduling strategy, then better nodes are probably not terribly useful. If you can effectively deal with work units taking a range of completion times, then get the fastest nodes you can or the best bang for the buck. -Dean

Very clean and comfortable but low-budget hotel, in walking-distance to the city centre, with a swimming pool on the roof top (unfortunately covered... with "swimming" insects..) including a quite nice view. Our room's highlight was the well maintained balcony with plants, 2 chairs and a table. Quite strange but funny interior decoration. The receptionist was the best we ever had in Vietnam. Breakfast according expectations, nothing special. I can recommend this hotel to everyone who is searching for a good price-quality ratio! by a Hotels.com guest on 08/13/12

Charlie Fox thought his call to improve traffic safety on 16th Avenue would have an easy ride through Township council.
But the councillor's motion encountered some unexpected bumps in the road on Monday night, and eventually stalled in procedural wrangling.
Fox was concerned about increasing traffic problems on the South Langley through-road - a number of them over the years resulting in deadly collisions, including the most recent double-fatal crash between 200th and 208th Streets on Sept. 13.
He asked Township council to approach stakeholders in the TransLink-operated road to try and determine why there are more serious crashes on the stretch through Langley than in the neighbouring municipalities that it also traverses - and to find solutions.
Fox's list included police, ICBC, TransLink, and the City of Surrey, among others.
The first bump in the road for Fox's motion came from Coun. David Davis, who suggested that the problems be studied locally before sending a request for involvement by Surrey.
Fox agreed to a friendly amendment to his motion to meet Davis's concerns.
But other councillors weighed in with further issues.
Coun. Bob Long wanted to "clarify what we want" before approaching anyone else.
Coun. Grant Ward took exception to Fox's entire motion, which he felt was "all wrong from start to finish- this whole motion should be scrapped."
Coun. Steve Ferguson was concerned about expenses that might be incurred in upgrading the 16th Avenue, especially if the road was widened.
Ferguson, who like Fox lives in the vicinity of 16th, agreed that the road has is share of problems: "As soon as we hear emergency vehicles," he said, "we know it's 16th."
In the end, Fox's motion was referred to Township staff for study, with only Fox and Coun. Michelle Sparrow opposed.
Fox could not contain his exasperation after the vote was concluded.
"I'm really frustrated," he told his council colleagues. "I can't believe what I'm hearing at this council table."
Referring to a previous motion calling for 16th Avenue safety upgrades, which was defeated when he brought to the table, Fox said, "We wouldn't be in this situation if you had passed my motion five years ago."
He charged that those outside of the area don't understand how the frustration caused by the dangerous road is causing it to be more dangerous.

Crystal Covington told ABC4Utah's Emily Clark, "Helping my baby is worth it to me."
After years of the addiction, Crystal and Rachel stopped smoking.
Crystal said, "It makes me happy to know I was able to do that for my son and I will be able to continue to do that to keep him healthy."
Crystal's baby will come in July and with the Baby Steps Program, she has been smoke free since she discovered she was pregnant.
Rebecca shared a similar story, "I started smoking since I was 12 and smoking ever since."
She had tried to quit, but the addiction was too strong.
Rebecca said, "it was just the craving and need for nicotine, it's like your body wants it."
She couldn't beat the addiction, until she got help from the Baby Steps Program.
Rebecca said, "I'm doing this for my little baby boy of mine and knowing that he is going to be getting diapers and help."
Through education, accountability and incentives Janae Letterman is empowering women in Utah County to protect their babies.
Janae said, "Most of them want to change, they want to quit."
While the women want to quit, they need help. Jenae makes monthly visits checking to see if the women are smoke free. She uses a breathalyser to test and make sure the women are smoke free, if they are they are rewarded with vouchers for diapers.
But the reward is bigger than that. The women feel better and are protecting their children and families.
Utah County is the only in the state with a program, just like this one. Janae is hopeful the rest of the state will soon follow suit.

The story is a heartbreaker. Two teenagers, 14-year-old girls on the threshold of attending high school, were detasseling corn on a farm in northwestern Illinois when they were electrocuted after coming into contact with an irrigator.
Detasseling is practically a rite of passage where corn is grown. I spent a summer detasseling, as did most of my friends. It's not for everyone—the days are long, hot, and tiring, and the pay isn't very good. The upside is that it isn't all that dangerous. When a parent sees a child off in the morning, he expects that child will return that afternoon. (more...)

This section contains information about exhibit space assignment procedures for ACC.12. It includes information about the exhibit space selection process for companies that submit their applications by the Priority Point Deadline and companies that sumbit their applications after the Priority Point Deadline. It also includes information about the Priority Point system.
All Applications are given consideration for assignment according to the date the completed Application and payment are received by the ACC Exposition Department. Applications without payment will not be considered complete until payment is received, in accordance with the "Terms of Payment" policy detailed in the Exhibit Prospectus.
Please note: Applications with checks must be mailed to one of the SunTrust Bank Lockbox facility addresses listed on the Application. These Applications will not be received by the ACC Exposition Department until up to four business days later.
Companies sending completed Applications with 30% deposit payments by the Priority Point deadline of Sept. 2, 2011, will select space for ACC.12 in priority point order, with companies having the highest number of priority points selecting first, and selections for all companies following in descending priority point order.
The top 20-30 priority point "anchor" companies are asked to pre-select their exhibit spaces prior to the printing of the ACC.12 Exhibit Prospectus and floor plan. This pre-selection enables all companies to see where the large anchor companies will be located for ACC.12 and to plan their space requests accordingly. Anchor companies are reminded that they must still complete and submit their Applications with at least a 30% deposit no later than the Priority Point deadline of Sept. 2, 2011, to ensure that they retain their selected spaces and to be eligible for the "early bird" exhibit rate of $31.50 per square feet.
All exhibiting companies that return a completed Application with at least a 30% deposit by the Priority Point deadline of Sept. 2, 2011, will have the opportunity to select their exhibit space live online with an ACC representative. Priority Point exhibitors will each be assigned a specific date and time when they will be able to call the ACC Exposition Department and review the ACC.12 floor plan online to select their exhibit spaces. Exhibitors will be notified by email of their appointment date and time. Exhibitors will be able to see the locations of all companies that have selected space prior to their appointment (due to higher priority points). To aid in the decision process, questions regarding entrances; flow of traffic; location of key ACC.12 functions such as Registration, Main Tent Education Sessions and Poster Sessions; and location of competitors will be answered during this space selection call. An exhibiting company that is unable to have a representative call in during its scheduled space selection time will be assigned space based on the booths and selection criteria indicated on its Application, which will serve as a proxy.
For companies submitting completed Applications with payment after the Priority Point deadline of Sept. 2, 2011, ACC will attempt to contact the exhibitor to review and select from available spaces online in real time. If the exhibitor is unavailable to participate at the time they are contacted, ACC will refer to the exhibit space choices indicated on the exhibitor's Application. If none of the choices listed is available, ACC at its discretion will assign the best possible location based on the space preference criteria provided by the exhibitor on the Application.
Priority for space assignments is given to previous Annual Scientific Session & Expo exhibitors.
Formula—A point system based on the amount of space utilized in previous years is employed. An exhibitor accrues one point for each 100 square feet of exhibit and ExpoSuite space occupied during each of the most recent five years. In addition, an exhibitor accrues one point for each year of participation, without limit.
Ties—If more than one company has the same number of priority points, assignments will be made based on the date the Applications were received, with the Application received on the earliest date being given priority. If there is more than one company with the same number of priority points and the same Application date, priority will based on the booth size requested, with the largest booth being placed first. In the event that there is still more than one company with the same number of priority points, same Application date and same requested booth size, priority will be based on a lottery-style drawing, with each affected company being assigned a random number. ACC will randomly draw these numbers and assign space in order of lowest to highest number.
Mergers—At the exhibitors' written request, ACC will add the merged companies' space points and use the year points of the company that participated in the ACC Annual Scientific Session & Expo the greatest number of years. Once points are merged, they cannot be separated. Requests to merge points should be submitted in writing to the ACC Senior Director, Exposition.
Multiple Divisions—Companies may choose to average points in order to be assigned space near each other during the space assignment process. This "grandfathering" process will allow divisions to contract separately while maintaining their own identities (exhibits, exhibitor listings, badges, etc.).
Spin-Offs—Total number of year points accumulated by the parent company will also be awarded to the spin-off company. No space points will be awarded to the spin-off company until the first year said spin-off exhibits as a separate entity.
Co-Marketing—If two or more companies are involved in the development of a product and wish to exhibit in one co-branded exhibit space, the co-marketed booth will earn space and year priority points independently of their respective parent organizations. In the first year of the co-market booth, however, the year points accumulated by the longest participating company will be used as the co-market's points. These year points will be retired in the second year of the co-market booth, with the independently earned co-market booth's points being used for subsequent years.
Co-Locating—If two or more companies wish to be assigned exhibit space adjacent to one another, each company must attach a cover letter to its Application presenting the request, with a copy to the co-locating company. The space assignment will then be made by averaging the co-locating companies' points.
How Points May Be Lost—Priority points may be lost if the exhibitor violates the Rules and Regulations stated in the Exhibit Prospectus.
Exhibiting companies may request a listing of their priority points by submitting a written request to the ACC Senior Director, Exposition.

Thanks for that info.
That pretty much narrows things down to Chris' comment - Video Driver issue.
What is the make/model of your video card/chip?
What version number and date, is your installed driver?
I wish to echo Chris' comment about getting the driver from the mfgr's. Web site, and NOT relying on Windows, or any utility to tell if you have the latest - they will likely be 6 mos. out of date.
Now, if you have a laptop, you might need to go to that mfgr's. Web site, to download the latest driver. Companies, like Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc., re-write video drivers for their particular computers. However, if you have an nVidia, or ATI/AMD card/chip, those computer mfgrs. usually do a good, and quick job, at re-writing and posting those to their sites.
Good luck,
That is part of it, but there will be a model number for that nVidia card. When you have that info, go to the nVidia Web Site, and look for the GeForce "family." Then, select your exact model, plus the OS that you are using. That will lead you to the latest driver. Look at the number and date of that driver. How does it compare with the one that you have installed? If yours is older, then download and install the latest version. Reboot. Test. Be sure to read the installation directions for the new video driver, as things do change a bit, from time to time. You may have to make a few settings in your current nVidia console, before installing - not often, but I have seen that for my nVidia Quadro card.
Now, if you have a Dell, HP, Lenovo, or major mfgr's. computer, go to their Web site first, as many will take the latest nVidia (or ATI/AMD) and rewrite it just a bit, for their exact computers. Most of the majors are very good, and very quick, and often will have a new driver up on the same day that nVidia does.
Good luck, and remember to reboot, before testing.
bill & noel i have NVIDIA GEFORCE 3300m(for laptop,sony vaio),but im not in use the last update,because i have some issues with my users folder(a bug).so i'm waiting to download the next update when will be available.until then im doing the next trick:close and reopen fhotos .with the ''second open'' the problem disappears.what do you think?????

Yoga Across America's initiative, "Yoga for American Soldiers," is saving lives and healing the wounds our soldiers are returning home with from war. YAA is sharing yoga, meditation and breathing exercises to active duty soldiers and veterans. We are reaching out to all branches of the military, teaching yoga to hundreds of troops.
"Yoga gave me faith that my body has more power than I believed it had.It gives me freedom to believe in myself," states Tim Taylor, Army Specialist and Wounded Warrior, Afghanistan.
Soldiers are experiencing healing, inspiration and possibility through practicing yoga with YAA. They tell us they enjoy the practice and would like more yoga in their lives. Epic Yoga is thrilled to partner with YAA to help bring this practice to servicemen and woman. Stay tuned for a Yoga for Veterans class in early 2013!

Nearly 10 months after their son died, the parents of Kendrick Johnson are finally getting what they've been asking for: another investigation into the teen's mysterious death in the gym of Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia.
Michael Moore, the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia, said Thursday that federal authorities will investigate the circumstances behind the death of Johnson, whose bloody body was found inside a rolled-up gym mat on January 11.
Johnson's family suspects the 17-year-old was murdered and that someone has tried to cover up evidence in the case.
While warning his jurisdiction is limited as a federal prosecutor, Moore said that after lengthy review of evidence collected by authorities and the family's own investigator that "sufficient basis exists" to warrant a formal review of the facts.
Should evidence gathered in the investigation warrant criminal or civil rights charges, he said he would recommend them.
"I will follow the facts wherever they lead. My objective is to discover the truth," he said.
In addition to suspicions of a coverup, the family's lawyer has also raised civil rights concerns, questioning whether officials in the predominantly white county took the investigation of an African-American teenager's death seriously enough. Authorities say they did.
"We're happy that a fresh pair of eyes is starting to look at Kendrick's case," Kendrick's father, Kenneth Johnson, told CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday. "We're just waiting on the truth to really come out."
CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin called the announcement "a significant development for this family and this case."
"Now you have the resources of the federal government, in particular the FBI," she told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "With that type of resources directed at this investigation, there will be more answers to be found."
The announcement comes a day after a judge granted the family and CNN access to surveillance images and investigative files related to the case, which the Lowndes County sheriff's office had declared accidental.
CNN has been reporting on the case for months, uncovering new details of the teen's death and raising questions about the sheriff's office handling of the case.
Among other things, CNN obtained death-scene images that led outside exerts to question the official explanation that Kendrick had suffocated reaching for a sneaker.
"His parents never accepted this explanation that he climbed into a wrestling mat got stuck and died. It flew in the face of all common sense," Benjamin Crump, a family attorney, told CNN's Tapper.
"This is a murder-mystery and we're going to get to the bottom of it," he said.
A mysterious death
Authorities found Kendrick's body on January 11, wedged into a rolled-up wrestling mat in the high school gym.
Imagery obtained by CNN -- a 15-minute video and nearly 700 photos taken by sheriff's investigators -- show his body clad in jeans and layered orange and white T-shirts.
His face was bloated with pooled blood, some of which had poured out of his body, soaking his dreadlocks and spilling onto the floor.
Within 24 hours of finding the body, Lowndes County Sheriff Chris Prine announced that investigators had no reason to suspect foul play in the death.
On Thursday, Prine's attorney said that the sheriff welcomes Moore's decision to review the case, and will continue to cooperate "in every way."
"We appreciate Mr. Moore's interest in these tragic circumstances and applaud his urging of the community to come forward with facts and evidence rather than feelings or opinions, no matter how sincere they may be," said attorney James Elliott.
"While Sheriff Prine has every confidence that his office's investigation was handled with the necessary diligence to assure that all leads were examined and exhausted, he welcomes the U. S. Attorney's further review of the case," the attorney said.
But a former FBI agent contacted by CNN to review the materials questioned those conclusions.
Harold Copus, now a private investigator, questioned how authorities handled evidence in the case, including blood smears found on a nearby wall they said were unrelated to the case.

For an online version you can use with a GPS, see this route at http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1832456 However, the cue sheet generated by the RWGPS website software on their sidebar is NOT the cue sheet our club uses; their cues are NOT reliable, e.g. telling you to turn left when you should go right.

I have bought a gorgous personalized monkey cushion for my son & I am so happy with it. Not only is it fantastic quality and very stylish but a very reasonable price, It's great to be able to buy something gorgeous for my son's room that he can enjoy now and for years to come! I've already put in my next order for my best friend's son's 1st birthday present! Thanks (...) Read more
I was referred to the woddlers site by a relative and it was truly one of the best things, I have three children under three! And I hated shopping for shoes for their little feet! My first purchases where two pairs of the miso cute and one pair of the daddy's girl. I received them the same week (ordered Sunday night had them by Friday afternoon)ready for the twins birthday (...) Read more
The shoes came quickly with a nice note that was personalised, which was nice. The shoes we got were the Light Blue Cream Kicks for 2-3 year old. My son loves them and wants to wear all day and to bed if we let him, so have not wash them yet, (hopefully will wash them this weeknd). he has worn them outside play at friends house and got scuff marks on the toe area. So only (...) Read more

Always nice to see the local Republican sour grapes. Time and demography is passing you by, fellas.
And no, you aren't the "producers." By and large, you're the parasites. The big economic engines of America are in Democratic areas, and blue states are the donor/producer states. Same goes for blue counties versus red counties in California. Take away the eastern half of California, and you get a balanced budget. Give us back the tax dollars we give to the fed that then get stolen by the Alabamas that can't pay their fair share, and we've had a balanced budget. Republicans are basically economic parasites who like benefits for some people but not "those people", wink wink. Disgusting, really. Go Galt already. No one will miss you.
As a small business owner I'm thrilled to see Keynesian economics dominant and Republican supply side mythology be defeated. Good riddance.
Aren't you the head of the Ventura County Democratic Party?
Yet you call people parasites and thieves!
Stay classy.

February 16, 2005 3:57 am | Smith & Nephew, Inc. | Product Releases | CommentsSmith & Nephew has introduced its TCI (Tumescent Catheter Inversion) System for minimally invasive removal of the greater saphenous vein. Typically, varicose veins can be traced to failure of the valves in the saphenous vein. Conventional "stripping" or removing the saphenous vein can prevent varicose veins from reoccurring, but the TCI System makes this procedure less traumatic for the patient because of the solution used to infiltrate and irrigate the procedure area and flush the vein channel after its removal.

I mentioned my problem in another message but I thought I'd better describe it in a proper dedicated message.
I'm running the latest Arduplane 2.40 on an brand new APM2, which I installed on a Dynam Hawksky. All is working ok, apart from the Aileron output from the APM (output No1).
The ailerons are stuck more or less in their extreme position and don't respond to the remote.
However, when calibrating the remote in mission planner (USB power only), all the sticks are responding Ok, including the aileron one. All calibrated Ok.
When I swap the rudder output connector with the aileron one, then the rudder doesn't work and the ailerons now starts working ok. The cables are therefore not in question, but it shows that the output No1 is the one causing the problem
I tried resetting the board, by pressing the small button on the APM2, but that doesn't solve the problem. Tried another fly mode (Stabilize), output no1 still not doing the job, while all other are fine, trying to stabilize.
Just to note as well that the jumper for powering through outputs is still on, haven't removed this. In any case all other outputs (rudder, elevator and throttle) are working fine, so that can't be the problem.
I measured the voltage out of the output no1, and I get 4.98V, which I guess should be fine.
I'm out of solution for that...Anyone has a start of a clue for this strange problem ?
Could it be a faulty APM2 ?
Did you found solution, I'm having same problem

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
Guest appearances by some notables as - Bela Fleck on banjo, Hargus "Pig" Robbins on piano, Rufus Thibodeaux on fiddle, Ralph Mooney on steel guitar, Marty Stuart on mandolin and Terry McMillan on harmonica, plus his usual sidemen Ben Keith, Spooner Oldham, Tim Drummond and Karl Himmel.
This re-mastered album is pure fun, sounds better than ever. Give a listen and see if you don't agree - "OLD WAYS" is a real down-home barn-raisin' time!
Total Time: 36:45 on 10 Tracks/ Universal-Geffen - 069 490 705 2 (2000)
It's mostly traditional, straight-up country music, with the usual Neil twists (this time it's astronauts sitting around watching reruns of Muhammed Ali). The opening track -- a beautiful take on "The Wayward Wind" -- is the only track that Neil didn't write, and it's as lovely as "Four Strong Winds" on _Comes a Time_. The guest appearances by Waylon & Willie are suitably understated. The songs are strong.
I honestly do not remember why I wasn't thrilled with this when it was first released. But whatever the reason, I was wrong, wrong, wrong.
I seem to recall that around the time this album was released, David Geffen sued Neil for putting out uncharacteristic and uncommercial music. Well, here's hoping Neil keeps that up forever.
Neil, I apologize for doubting you. I haven't got a _clue_ what I was thinking.

Home > Advocacy > Policy Resolutions
A covered bond is a corporate bond with one important enhancement: Recourse to a pool of assets that secures or "covers" the bond if the originator (usually a financial institution) becomes insolvent. Covered bonds have been successful in Europe due in part to their implicit government guarantee and favorable capital treatment from European regulators.
For the investor, the major advantage to a covered bond is that the debt and the underlying asset pool remain on the issuer's balance sheet and must be over-collateralized. Non-performing loans must be replaced to ensure that the pool consistently backs the covered bond. In the event of default, the investor has recourse to both the pool and the issuer. While covered bonds exist in the U.S. today, they are legally equivalent to other secured claims and have drawn limited investor interest.
Some large banks and other bond market participants are promoting covered bonds as an alternative to mortgage-backed securities. Despite their characterization as a fully private funding mechanism, as noted above evidence suggests that covered bonds enjoy an implicit government guarantee and effectively enjoy the same backing that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae enjoyed prior to being placed in conservatorship.
During the 112th Congress, legislation on covered bonds, H.R. 940 and S. 1835, was introduced in the House and Senate. These bills would have created a regulatory oversight framework for covered bond programs. More significantly however, they would have established a process to be followed in the event of default and enhance the investor claims over the covered pool. H.R. 940 was marked up by the House Financial Services Committee but did not reach the House floor. No action took place in the Senate.
Community bank concerns with covered bonds
Likely Market Dominance of Large Banks. Covered bonds appear to be feasible only for large banks. Because the underlying mortgages (or other loans) are not sold, they remain on the issuer's balance sheet and require a capital charge. Only large banks have the excess balance sheet capacity to make a covered bond program work. By contrast, a mortgage transferred to an MBS is sold outright. Because of the capital requirements, the covered bond market would likely remain small and would not be as liquid as the market for Fannie/Freddie MBS. Provisions would need to be made to ensure that community banks are not placed at a competitive disadvantage.
Impact on the Deposit Insurance Fund. The FDIC is concerned that covered bonds would dilute the FDIC's claim on the assets of a failed bank. "Super priority," combined with over-collateralization of the pool, would allow covered bond investors to recover more than other secured creditors. Resolution would be more costly because mortgages and servicing rights would have to be sold in tandem. (In an MBS, they trade separately.) This would weaken the DIF, and the FDIC is working to resolve its concerns with the legislation. Community banks pay heavily into the DIF and thus have a vested interest in ensuring the fund is fully protected and not exposed to risk due to a financial product that is not economically feasible for community banks to use.
Competition with Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. The Federal Home Loan Banks are key partners in the viability of community banks. Some in the FHLB system are concerned that large bank members would use covered bonds as an alternative to FHLB advances. If the large banks flee the system, advances are expected to become more expensive for community banks. The loss of large member advance business could force FHLBs to seek ways to significantly cut costs, negatively impacting products and services used by community bank members.
We cannot say with certainty that similar or identical legislation will be introduced in the 113th Congress, but given these issues and their potential impact on community banks, ICBA will work to protect community bank interests if the legislation moves forward.

TOPEKA, February 13, 2007 / The Kansas State Board of Education adopted today science standards that are more in line with accepted education practices of the science community. The change came during the Board's regular monthly meeting.
State Board Adopts New Science Standards
"Today the Kansas Board of Education returned its curriculum standards to mainstream science," said Board Chairman, Dr. Bill Wagnon. "This assures that Kansas children are appropriately educated for the 21st century."
The complete sets of standards (November 2005 adoption and today's adoption) are available at www.ksde.org. From the homepage, follow the links "Educators," "Standards," and "Science." The Recommendation for the Kansas Science Educations Standards is the standard adopted today.
If you wish to see the comparison of the two sets, open the Comparison Document. To navigate this document, read the black and blue text (blue text also has strike-through) to see the standards adopted in 2005. Read green, underlined text to see the standards adopted today. Note that the black text is common between the two documents.
The new standards will be used in developing the new science assessments, which will be administered next year.
