In case you've wondered lately while kicking and swearing at a less-than-stellar appliances, our household machines aren't breaking down faster.
Repair rates for most products in a recent survey are similar to results from a 2010 survey, says Cassie Eberle at Consumer Reports.
And some products are breaking less often, Eberle says. Laptops had a repair rate of 24 percent in 2013, down from 36 percent in 2010.
Warranties don't improve satisfaction. People who had service contracts or extended warranties weren't any happier with their repairs, Consumer Reports says.
Actually, they were more likely to have had repairs done incorrectly the first time around than people without those contracts, and they waited at least two weeks for repairs.

Madoff's Brother Pleads Guilty, But Not To The Ponzi Scheme
He has one of the most notorious names in modern U.S. history, after thousands of investors connected to him lost their life savings totaling $65 billion in wealth on paper. Now, a Madoff is free on bail, but it's not Bernie, the notorious Ponzi schemer, but his brother Peter, whose job it was to ensure that Madoff's investment business was in compliance with the law.
I am deeply ashamed of my actions," Peter Madoff said, choking back tears as he made a nearly 10 minute-long confession in a federal courtroom in Lower Manhattan late Friday morning. "I want to apologize to anyone who I harmed, and to my family, he said.
Even though he pleaded guilty to conspiracy, fraud, falsifying documents and obstruction, Peter Madoff was sure to point out more than once in his statement that "there was no doubt that [his brother Bernie] was the boss," who "made clear... I'd never be a partner."
In that statement, Peter Madoff attempted to put himself as far as possible from his brother's misdeeds, which landed Bernie Madoff in prison for 150 years. Peter Madoff will serve a 10-year sentence that will formally begin October 4th, when he will be brought back to court, and then be sent off to federal prison.
The man whose office was just a few steps away from his brother's also agreed to a $143.1 billion penalty. Even though Peter Madoff does not have assets totaling anywhere near that amount, it was set by prosecutors as an indication that he will agree to surrender all of his assets, including money and property.
Peter Madoff admitted to a variety of illegal acts as the compliance officer of his brother's firm, including helping to arrange for his wife to be an employee of the company, with full pay and benefits, even though she never did a day's work there. Prosecutors said in court that Peter Madoff also once signed a group of weekly compliance documents all at once, using different pens for the different signatures, to provide the appearance of having signed the compliance forms over the course of weeks.
The younger Madoff brother also said in court, "I conspired with others to avert the law," an indication that other people related to the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme, including other Madoff family members, could be implicated in the case in the future.
Echoing that indication was the prosecutor. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara issued a statement after Peter Madoff posted his $5 million bond , which was secured through assets and signatures of six people other than Peter Madoff himself. Bharara's statement read in part, "We are not yet finished calling to account everyone responsible for the epic fraud of Bernard Madoff and the epic pain of his many victims."Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

how do i change the path where my scanned documents go on the hp psc 2170 series?
When I scan, I get the error "The system cannot find the path specified." However, it does not give me an option to edit the path and folder where it needs to go and it only gives me the option to try again, or skip this file, or skip all files with errors. I have the HP psc 2175 all in one and it works on Windows 7.
I've tried viewing scanner properties, but there is no option to change the path.

The groves are now reaching the end of their lifespan and require renewal. Aging Monterey cypress trees taken down to allow for young plantings were given new purpose in Goldsworthy's Spire. The sculpture was constructed in 2008 in a beloved grove near the Arguello Gate. It is comprised of 35 large cypress trunks, fastened meticulously together. At its zenith, Spire reaches more than 90 feet to the sky. Even this great height will not keep Spire from experiencing the changes of time. Young trees growing at its base will slowly obscure the sculpture. Spire recalls one of Goldsworthy's earliest works, Memories, also spires of mature trees, created in 1984 in the Grizedale Forest in the Lake District of North West England. Goldsworthy said, "I have not found another great location for this type of work until now."

Sizmek's Q1: Sights Set On Mobile And Video Growth
Ad tech company Sizmek reported Q1 2014 revenues of $38.4 million on Tuesday, a 13% year-over-year increase.
Neil Nguyen, president and CEO, emphasized that the company is expanding and strengthening key areas with an emphasis on mobile and video offerings.
Mobile revenue increased 90% year over year. Sizmek continues to invest heavily in the channel. At the end of Q1, it launched a solution, called Device Intelligence, designed to enable more accurate identification and targeting across handsets, tablets and desktops, Nguyen said. These enhancements are necessary as audiences increasingly engage in mobile devices where third-party cookies are less available.
"We view this as a key component of our platform and mobile strategy," Nguyen said.
On the video front, where revenue grew 132% year over year, Sizmek recently rolled out a beta version of its Video Verification solution, which allows advertisers to verify where and in what context a video ad is being served. The tool is designed to reduce wasteful spend as advertisers often pay for premium video inventory that isn't delivered as promised. Interesting, Extreme Reach – which purchased Sizmek's divested video ads business last August – just acquired BrandAds, which provides a video ads verification system designed to combat that very problem.
According to Nguyen, video online advertising business accounts for roughly 10% of Sizmek's revenue.
Like Conversant, which also had its 2014 Q1 earnings call Tuesday, Sizmek's direction has changed significantly over the last year; the company has been consolidating the various point solutions its acquired over the years (including campaign-management tools, an ad server, data tools for programmatic solutions and rich media tools). The goal is to provide a platform through which clients can optimize the delivery of contextual ads across devices.
Sizmek works with 5,000 agencies across 48 countries.

|Tom Vilsack nailed this analysis! irrelevant!
WASHINGTON : Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has some harsh words for rural America: It's "becoming less and less relevant," he says.
A month after an election that Democrats won even as rural parts of the country voted overwhelmingly Republican, the former Democratic governor of Iowa told farm belt leaders this past week that he's frustrated with their internecine squabbles and says they need to be more strategic in picking their political fights.
"It's time for us to have an adult conversation with folks in rural America," Vilsack said in a speech at a forum sponsored by the Farm Journal. "It's time for a different thought process here, in my view."
He said rural America's biggest assets ��" the food supply, recreational areas and energy, for example ��" can be overlooked by people elsewhere as the U.S. population shifts more to cities, their suburbs and exurbs.
"Why is it that we don't have a farm bill?" said Vilsack. "It isn't just the differences of policy. It's the fact that rural America with a shrinking population is becoming less and less relevant to the politics of this country, and we had better recognize that and we better begin to reverse it."
For the first time in recent memory, farm-state lawmakers were not able to push a farm bill through Congress in an election year, evidence of lost clout in farm states.
The Agriculture Department says about 50 percent of rural counties have lost population in the past four years and poverty rates are higher there than in metropolitan areas, despite the booming agricultural economy.
Exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks found that rural voters accounted for just 14 percent of the turnout in last month's election, with 61 percent of them supporting Republican Mitt Romney and 37 percent backing President Barack Obama. Two-thirds of those rural voters said the government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals.
Vilsack criticized farmers who have embraced wedge issues such as regulation, citing the uproar over the idea that the Environmental Protection Agency was going to start regulating farm dust after the Obama administration said repeatedly it had no so such intention.
In his Washington speech, he also cited criticism of a proposed Labor Department regulation, later dropped, that was intended to keep younger children away from the most dangerous farm jobs, and criticism of egg producers for dealing with the Humane Society on increasing the space that hens have in their coops. Livestock producers fearing they will be the next target of animal rights advocates have tried to undo that agreement.
"We need a proactive message, not a reactive message," Vilsack said. "How are you going to encourage young people to want to be involved in rural America or farming if you don't have a proactive message? Because you are competing against the world now."
John Weber, a pork producer in Dysart, Iowa, said Friday that farmers have to defend their industries against policies they see as unfair. He said there is great concern among pork producers that animal welfare groups are using unfair tactics and may hurt their business.
"Our role is to defend our producers and our industry in what we feel are issues important to us," he said.
Weber agreed, though, that rural America is declining in influence. He said he is concerned that there are not enough lawmakers from rural areas and complained that Congress doesn't understand farm issues. He added that the farm industry needs to communicate better with consumers.
"There's a huge communication gap" between farmers and the food-eating public, he said.
Vilsack, who has made the revitalization of rural America a priority, encouraged farmers to embrace new kinds of markets, work to promote global exports and replace a "preservation mindset with a growth mindset." He said they also need to embrace diversity because it is an issue important to young people who are leaving rural areas.
"We've got something to market here," he said. "We've got something to be proactive about. Let's spend our time and our resources and our energy doing that and I think if we do we're going to have a lot of young people who want to be part of that future."

July 6 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. stocks fell, ending an eight-day rally for the benchmark FTSE 100 Index, as Moody's Investors Service cut Portugal's credit rating to junk and China's central bank said it will increase interest rates.
Barclays Plc and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc sank by more than 3 percent. Trinity Mirror Plc surged 17 percent as investors speculated that the publisher of Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper may as much as double annual advertising revenue for its Sunday newspaper.
The FTSE 100 dropped 0.4 percent to 6,002.92 at the 4:30 p.m. close in London. The gauge had rallied 6.2 percent over the past eight days, posting its longest winning streak in almost two years, as Greek lawmakers approved a five-year austerity package, qualifying the country to receive further aid from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. The FTSE All-Share Index lost 0.3 percent today, while Ireland's ISEQ Index declined 1.1 percent.
"There's concern from some people that China is pushing the brakes on economic growth a little too hard," said Richard Hunter, head of U.K. equities at Hargreaves Lansdown Plc in London. "We've by no means solved Europe's debt problem and that is going to need to be revisited again soon."
U.K. stocks extended their losses after China raised benchmark interest rates for the third time this year. Chinese inflation accelerated in May to the fastest pace since July 2008.
The one-year deposit rate will increase to 3.5 percent from 3.25 percent tomorrow, the People's Bank of China said on its website today. The one-year lending rate will climb to 6.56 percent from 6.31 percent.
U.S. Non-Manufacturing
In the U.S., a report from the Institute for Supply Management showed that growth in service industries slowed more than expected in June. The measure dropped to 53.3 from 54.6 in May. That fell short of the median economist estimate for a reading of 53.7 in a Bloomberg News survey.
Moody's Investors Service cut Portugal's credit rating to junk, lowering the indebted country's debt to Ba2 from Baa1 with a negative outlook.
Germany revived a proposal to lengthen Greek bond maturities. It had dropped the idea two weeks ago when rating firms said they may deem such a move as a default.
Barclays, RBS, Lloyds
Banks were the worst performing industry on the Stoxx Europe 600 Index today, sliding 1.7 percent. Barclays slumped 3.8 percent to 249.8 pence, its largest slide in two months. RBS sank 3.4 percent to 37.9 pence and Lloyds Banking Group Plc slipped 2.1 percent to 47.8 pence.
Trinity Mirror surged 17 percent to 49.3 pence, its biggest increase in almost a year, on speculation that companies will avoid associating their brands with Rupert Murdoch's News of the World after the newspaper was accused of hacking into a murder victim's voicemail. Lloyds and General Motors Co.'s Vauxhall auto brand have pulled advertising from the market-leading Sunday tabloid.
British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc, which Murdoch's News Corp. plans to acquire, fell 2.1 percent to 827 pence for the broadcaster's largest retreat in more a year.
BP fell 1 percent to 455 pence following a report that the Indian oil ministry has referred the company's bid to acquire a 30 percent stake in oil and gas blocks operated by Reliance Industries Ltd. to a cabinet committee. The report, from the Press Trust of India newswire, said the referral may delay the deal.
Smith & Nephew Rallies
Smith & Nephew Plc, Europe's largest maker of shoulder and knee implants, climbed 1.7 percent to 684 pence. Rival Kinetic Concepts Inc., a manufacturer of wound-care products, was said to have held talks to go private in a leveraged buyout, according to people familiar with the matter.
International Consolidated Airlines Group SA, the carrier formed from the merger of British Airways and Iberia, retreated 2.9 percent to 251.1 pence.
Booker Group Plc, the wholesale grocer, surged 11 percent to 77.9 pence.
Outsourcing company Serco Group Plc soared 3.9 percent to 565 pence, its largest gain in five weeks and the biggest advance on the FTSE 100 today.

Flavors from Oaxaca, Cuba, and Yucatan add depth to Fuego Tacos' menu of gourmet Mexican fare, including croquettes, seafood dishes, and the eponymous tacos. Tasty fillings such as Dr. Pepper–braised short ribs and tilapia encrusted with panko breadcrumbs can be stuffed into two tacos or one burrito at customers' discretion, and entrees of roast-pork sandwiches, seafood, and pasta blend Caribbean and South American culinary sensibilities on singular platters. From stools beneath a brick archway, diners select their meals, their eyes drinking in the chocolate-hued wooden counter that reflects the glow of orange pendant lights and patrons covered in phosphorescent body paint.
At Fuego Cityscape—Fuego Tacos sassy sister restaurant—guests dine alfresco, shaded from the sun by the cloth umbrellas that tower over the front patio. They clink glasses of blackberry mojitos and jalapeno-infused margaritas over plates of inventive dishes from a Mexican and southwest-inspired menu, such as chipotle cream pasta and green-chile beef sliders.
Donna DiFiore's metaphorical journey into the restaurant business began with an actual journey. When her friend Elissa told her she was going on a road trip across the country from her hometown in chilly Massachusetts, Donna agreed to join—unaware that she was about discover her life's calling and a new home.
When the women stopped in Tucson, Donna didn't want to leave. As she explained to reporters from Tucson Weekly, "I arrived here—it was Halloween Eve in '76—and everybody was wearing shorts, and it was just gorgeous." Donna took a job at a local eatery, working the floor, serving customers, and eventually rising to the head of the restaurant.
Thirty-eight years later, Donna continues to captain Delectables, which has become a bit of an iconic gathering spot for old and young alike. Returning visitors linger over glasses of wine at the rustic wooden bar, reminiscing over the crème brûlée and live jazz they enjoyed from that very same spot years ago. University students bask beneath the lush foliage of the outdoor patio, awaiting meals of Mexican enchiladas, Italian pastas, and French bistro specialties. Chefs bustle about the kitchen seven days a week, beginning each day by whipping up hearty egg breakfasts before moving onto internationally inspired lunches and dinners. Late in the night on Friday and Saturday, they simmer up an after-dark menu of eclectic nibbles and entrees.
The restaurant is housed in a historical, renovated Harley-Davidson showroom and abounds with unusual knickknacks and antiques, from a cash register from an old hotel in Santa Cruz to a walk-in refrigerator from 1898. Many of the wares and coffee mugs were created by local artists, and the mesquite planks that serve as plates were carved by local craftsmen. The airy space plays hosts to special events throughout the week, including live music from local artists, poetry slams with local poets, and boxing matches between local librarians.
Hidden behind an unassuming A-frame exterior, The Original Blue Adobe Grille surprises guests with colorful decor and a variety of innovative twists on New Mexican cuisine. From appetizers such as green chile lobster dip to entrees such as the Blue Adobe burger cooked over a pecan-wood grill, the restaurant's surprising eats earned them a mention in Jane and Michael Stern's survey of American cuisine, 500 Things to Eat Before It's Too Late. Other menu favorites include shrimp enchiladas stuffed into blue corn tortillas and rims of salt served with margaritas to wash it down. Composed of a blue peaked roof and white stucco siding, The Original Blue Adobe Grille's outside belies its more exciting interior, where stained glass windows and colorful chandeliers illuminate a room filled with reds, oranges, and pinks—a spectrum reflected in the handwritten chalkboard menu announcing the daily specials.
Arizona shares more than a border with the Mexican state of Sonora. Though they belong to different countries, the two states share the same desert topography and, thus, many of the same culinary traditions. Valle Luna highlights and celebrates these traditions with a menu of Sonoran–style tacos, sopas, and pedazos inspired by the rare genius of its founder, Tia Rita. Surprisingly, Valle Luna's story began not in Arizona but in upstate New York. Tia journeyed to Syracuse in the 1970s, bringing with her the recipes she gleaned from her childhood in the Sonoran Desert. After earning a number of awards and accolades in New York, Tia returned to warmer climes and founded the original Valle Luna on West Bell Road in Phoenix, where her food continued earn rave reviews until her passing in 2008. Today, Tia's family carries on her legacy at three locations spread across the Valley. They've even added to her original menu, crafting such genre-defying dishes as Mexican potato skins, choco tacos, and salsa-stuffed piñatas.
Following Baja Fresh's ethos set in 1990 as a healthy take on fast food, never-frozen meats sizzle atop the grill before they're tucked into made-to-order tacos and burritos. Grilled corn and flour tortillas embrace fish, carnitas, chicken, and steak, and smoky queso fundido sidles onto nachos and into burritos. Between bites, chips scoop up salsa made from farm-fresh produce rather than poured out of a can or fabricated in a space-age replicator. A complimentary salsa bar ensures no mouthful goes unspiced, and guests can scoop up their favorites as they await their dine-in, takeout, or catering orders.
A 6.5-pound behemoth of a burrito can really only have one name: the Big Papi. At Papi Chulo's Mexican Grill & Cantina these giants of gastronomy, which were recently featured in Phoenix Magazine, are waiting to be conquered by challengers willing to dethrone current champion Stephanie Torres, a competitive eater who has appeared in the Nathan's Famous Women's Hot Dog Eating World Championship. On the regular menu, Papi Chulo's executive chef combines Mexican tradition with Sonoran familiarity to craft authentic Southwestern dishes with a down-home feel. The staff serves regular lunch specials, Mexican favorites such as chiles rellenos, and breakfast specialties including huevos rancheros and chorizo and eggs.
Inside the spacious dining room, imported Mexican furniture sits below exposed wooden beams bearing wrought-iron chandeliers ideal for illuminating a special meal or supporting the weight of a masked Zorro impersonator. Attended by a sunny wait staff, the bar slings specialty margaritas and happy-hour specials every day that patrons can enjoy indoors or on the outdoor patio in full view of Camelback Mountain. Papi Chulo's also hosts regular events including poker nights on Mondays and live comedy every Friday and Saturday night in the Speak Easy Lounge located inside the restaurant.

The moon pokemon moved first, trying its cheap sleep-hax. Its eyes glowed red as it possessed the little penguin chick, turning its eyes red as well. Invisible hypnotic waves traveled through the forest, putting everyone to sleep…except Piplup. Lunatone had completely missed the water type, accidently forcing both the referee and its own trainer to sleep. It mentally slapped itself for its stupidity, vowing to be more accurate with its powers next time.
(-3% Energy)
Piplup laughed at the attempt at an attack. Sure he had red eyes for a while, but what did that do? Scare off the ladies? He stifled another fit of laughter, then prepared his own move. His beak began to glow a bright blue as he raised his arms, and when he opened his mouth a rush of water came out. It appeared to be a tornado made of water, and spun violently as Piplup balanced it. With a flick of his cerulean beak, he threw the enormous mass of water into Lunatone. It struck it directly, pounding Lunatone into a nearby tree. Although it picked itself back up, it was still trapped in the large vortex; this move would cause damage for quite a while.
(-5% Health, -3% Energy)
Lunatone, although it was trapped, still had a plan. It tried its move again, yet again forming the red eyes on both itself and Piplup. Adding extra concentration, it sent out its psychic waves yet again. This time, however, they almost hit their target. Just as they were about to strike the little penguin chick, an invisible shield appeared in from of them. The ref called a foul; "The sleep condition has been blocked for this battle; this move is illegal."
(-3 Energy)
Piplup mimicked his opponent, sending "invisible waves". He then became serious and started to prepare his move. His mouth glowed as he prepared a steaming burst of hot water. When it became too hot for him to hold in, he took a deep breath and launched it at Lunatone. It was a direct hit, hitting with more force because of its type advantage. Piplup jumped in the air, liking where this battle was going. He grew even happier as the whirlpool surrounded the moon pokemon, suffering great damage.

HOUSTON (AP) Matt Kemp set a franchise record for home runs through 15 games with his ninth of the season to back up a solid outing by Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers got a 5-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night.

James Loney gave Los Angeles a 1-0 lead in the second inning with a two-out homer to the second deck in right field.
Kershaw (1-0), the NL Cy Young winner, struck out nine and allowed three hits in seven scoreless innings for his first win this season after no decisions in his first three games this year. .

When our fashion assistant walked into the office sporting this gorgeous collar-style necklace from high-street fave Miss Selfridge this morning, we just had to share it with you! It's perfect as a finishing touch to the baroque trend seen at the Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen A/W12 shows, making it a top trans-seasonal buy. Double-up the collar effect by wearing under a collared blouse, teamed with on-trend geometric print trousers and killer heels – a great look for day or night. EK

CME leaders take action to restore the profession's credibility. A report from the Alliance for Continuing Medical Education annual conference
Report from the Alliance for CME annual conference The continuing medical education community suffered another blow to its credibility when, in January, just several weeks before the Alliance for CME annual conference, the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation released a scathing report. Stating that the field was "in disarray," the report criticized everything from CME's overuse of lecture formats to its failure to promote teamwork among healthcare professionals. Macy's most controversial conclusion ...

that problems do exist with the quality of care received by many women in the United States. Many women (perhaps as many as 40 percent) do not appear to be receiving indicated radiation therapy after breast conserving surgery. In addition, older women are less likely to receive radiation therapy after breast conserving surgery. Rates of radiation therapy after breast conserving surgery also vary across hospitals, suggesting that some hospitals are providing poorer-quality breast cancer care than others. Of equal concern, many women do not appear to be receiving adjuvant chemotherapy (perhaps as many as 60 percent). These findings must be interpreted with caution, however, since many of the data reported are from the 1980s and are based on cancer registry data, whose accuracy is not known.
Variations in Compliance with American College of Radiology Quality Standards. While many women who undergo breast conserving surgery do not get indicated postoperative radiation therapy, potential quality problems still exist for the women who do get radiation therapy. The 1988 breast cancer Patterns of Care study performed by the American College of Radiology suggests widespread variation in compliance with standards of quality established by the ACR, with academic centers demonstrating the greatest compliance, followed by hospital facilities, and freestanding facilities having the poorest adherence (Kutchner et al., 1996). For example, immobilization of breast cancer patients receiving radiation therapy, in order to obtain consistent irradiation of the desired target, varied from 80 percent at academic centers, to 73 percent in hospital facilities, to only 51 percent in free-standing facilities. Similarly, the use of techniques to decrease the divergence of the radiation beam into lung tissue (in order to decrease pulmonary toxicity) ranged from 93 percent at academic centers to 77 percent at hospital facilities and 67 percent at free-standing facilities. A problem identified in an earlier 1983 Patterns of Care study was the misuse of axillary radiation; 53 percent of axillary node-negative women received radiation therapy. More recent data are needed to assess the state of compliance with radiology quality standards.
Women should have a mammogram within 18 months following definitive surgery for breast cancer. According to one study of care provided to 936 privately insured, nonelderly women diagnosed from 1989 to 1991 in Virginia, only 79 percent had received a mammogram in the first 18 months (see Table 4.4).
The use of bone scans and imaging to search for liver metastases has been shown to have a low yield in clinical Stage I and II disease in numerous studies. Despite good evidence that their use does not improve clinical outcomes or quality of life (GIVIO, 1994), they are commonly done as a standard part of initial evaluation and often in subsequent follow-up care. In the Virginia study, 34 percent of women had a bone scan and 21 percent a computed tomography scan within 36 months of definitive surgery (Hillner et al., 1997).
The intensity of follow-up care appears to vary by site of care. During the same period, Simon et al. (1996) tracked 222 women treated and followed at one university hospital for three years. In the first year, patients treated with radiation or followed by medical oncology had the most frequent visits and intensity of testing. Wide variation in practice that was not explained by patient or provider characteristics was noted.

Missing Woman Last Seen at JFK Airport
Nassau County police have a new mystery on their hands, in the case of a husband who flew to Turkey last July, after his estranged wife was reported missing.
It turns out 29-year old, Riza Cosa, had a girlfriend from Canada who also disappeared last summer.
The body of Cosa's wife was discovered last week in New Cassel, wedged between a metal container and a fence, behind the steel business where Cosa used to work. Winsome Angela Perez was 45 years old. She died from blunt force trauma. She was last seen alive on July 28, 2009, when she left work as a personal banker at the Chase branch on Wantagh Avenue in Nassau County. Perez' co-workers reported her missing. On July 31, 2009, Riza Cosa took a one-way trip to his native Turkey.
Now police in Toronto, Canada confirm they've been searching for Cosa's girlfriend, 33 year old Hatice Corbacioglu, since last August.
Corbacioglu crossed the border into the United States last June 15th, telling her family she was going to visit her boyfriend, Riza, and hoped to marry him someday. Her father told PIX 11 he never knew Cosa was married. Hatice had told a friend that Cosa was divorced.
The family never heard from Hatice, once she crossed the border. Her sister, Aysel Corbacioglu, told PIX 11 today: "We tried to call her cell phone, and all of a sudden, her answering machine was coming on." The sister says Risa Cosa got in touch with the family. "He was telling my dad that Hatice went to Turkey, and she come back from Turkey, and they had an argument, and she took the car." Hatice Corbacioglu's car was found in a parking lot at Kennedy Airport on November 25th .nearly four months after Risa Cosa flew to Turkey. There's still no sign of her.Copyright © 2014, Daily Press

Martial Law in One City: The Case of Paragould, Arkansas
Posted By admin On December 18, 2012 @ 6:43 am In Prison Planet | Comments Disabled
William Grigg
Lew Rockwell Blog [1]
December 18, 2012
"The fear is what's given us the reason to do this," insisted Todd Stovall [2], the head functionary of the paramilitary occupation force afflicting Paragould, Arkansas [3], as he announced that the city would be placed under martial law for the supposed purpose of deterring crime. "Once I have stats and people are saying they're scared, we can do this. It allows us to do what we're fixing to do."
What Stovall and his fellow tax-feeders are "fixing to do" is to leave the city's streets clotted with SWAT operators toting AR-15s and official permission to harass anybody who comes within eyeshot.
The marauders "are going to be in SWAT gear and have AR-15s around their neck," grunted Stovall at a town hall meeting held last Thursday at the West View Baptist Church. "If you're out walking, we're going to stop you, ask why you're out walking, check for your ID."
"We're going to do it to everybody," Stovall explained, anticipating objections. "Criminals don't like being talked to."
The same is true of citizens, of course — but like most members of his paramilitary tribe, Stovall divides the world between enlightened agents of State "authority" such as himself and the Mundane population, which is to be intimidated into submission.
Stovall insists that constitutional quibbles over probable cause don't apply, because the "crisis" justifies imposition of a city-wide curfew and garrison state measures.
"I've got statistical reasons that say I've got a lot of crime right now, which gives me probable cause to ask what you're doing out." He admits that he didn't consult an attorney before reaching that conclusion, and that "I don't even know that there's ever been a difference" between what he's proposing and undisguised martial law. To those who might complain about being harassed by Stovall's minions, the chief offers an unqualified promise" "We have a zero-tolerance. We are prepared to throw your hind-end in jail, OK? We are not going to take a lot of flack."
Paragould [4] historically has a very high burglary rate, but the violent crime rate is substantially below the national average: In 2010, the last year for which stats are available, there wasn't a single murder in the town of roughly 26,000 people. But political elites and their enforcers are adept at manufacturing fears, and the bullet-headed militarist who heads the police department — and appears to be building his own little private army [5] — assumes that government derives its "just" powers from whatever fears it can instill and exploit in its subjects.

"Argo," Ben Affleck's electrically suspenseful, cunningly original true-life thriller, is the rare movie that has great fun while touching a raw political nerve.
It's set in 1979 and 1980, during the early months of the Iran hostage crisis, and it centers on six American officials who flee the U.S. embassy and take secret refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador.
The CIA decides that they can't stay there, that if they're discovered, they'll be executed in the streets. So they need to escape the country. But how?
Tony Mendez, a CIA operative played by Affleck in a dour beard and shaggy '70s hair, has a nutty, ingenious, out-of-the-box idea: The six will pretend to be a Canadian film crew scouting locations for a cheesy pulp sci-fi movie called "Argo." With their fake identities established, they can fly to Switzerland right under the noses of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
To pull off the escape, the Americans can't just say they're a cinematographer, an assistant producer and so on. The movie they're pretending to work on has to be as genuine as possible, with links to the real world of Hollywood.
Mendez heads out to Hollywood, where everyone is trying to come up with the next "Star Wars," and he helps to set up "Argo" as a science fantasy adventure, complete with full-page ads in the trades and a low-rent schmuck of a producer, played by the great Alan Arkin.
At times, the comedy of the situation can make you think you're watching "Ocean's Eleven" crossed with "Munich." Yet what's sensational about "Argo" is the way that the caper movie and the dread-fueled plunge into the tinderbox of American-Iranian tensions only heighten each other.
Affleck gives this true story an explosive '70s movie vibe: Even when you're laughing, mostly out of uneasiness, the stakes couldn't be higher. "Argo" is never less than wildly entertaining, but a major part of its power is that it so ominously captures the kickoff to the world we're in now.

I know I will get flak for this one but the #8 best TV show of all time is the one that started the whole reality craze…Survivor! I remember watching the first episode in 2000, I was addicted from the get go! Richard Hatch, Rudy Boesch, Susan Hawk, Gervase, Colleen, Jenna Lewis…the all became instant stars at the time. Survivor was something totally new and exciting. It captured the attention of the country and delivered huge ratings. Fast forward twelve years and Survivor is on season 25 and still delivering Top 20 ratings each season.
The first 10 Survivor seasons or so were great TV, interesting casts, beautiful locations and exciting TV. At some point it started to decline, there were seasons like China where the cast was great but the location didn't offer much. Other seasons were just duds. But there were still gems in there like Tocantins or Fans vs. Favorites which was great. Then came the best season of Survivor ever, Heroes vs. Villains. Let's bring back the most famous Survivors and divide them up into two tribes based on whether they were a hero or villain. Russell Hantz made his second appearance and wreaked havoc. It was awesome.
Unfortunately, they followed it up with Nicaragua which featured former Cowboys coach Jimmy Jones but not much else. Redemption Island wasn't the greatest but you got to appreciate Boston Rob Mariano's complete domination of the game. And don't forget former special agent (?) Phillip Sheppard! Two boring seasons followed but the new season, Philippines, shows a lot of promise so far. Even the eye candy appears to know how to play the game, which has been a big problem in the past. Returning Survivors, Michael Skupin, Jonathan Penner and Russell Swan were all previously medically evacuated from their season. Penner is one of my favorites so I'm interested in this season even more since he is there. Former baseball star Jeff Kent and Lisa Whelchel of The Facts of Life are playing Survivor for the first time.
Survivor will be around for a few more years at least. Emmy award-winning host Jeff Probst is signed for one more year but has shown no signs of leaving. Boston Rob, Rob Cesternino and Richard Hatch have all been rumored as possible replacements if Probst ever left. The show still delivers in the ratings and since they went to filming seasons back to back the costs are very manageable for CBS. If you appreciate human drama and the strategy of gameplay then you would enjoy Survivor.

apache suddenly jumps to maxclients and stays there

well, well, well. The server has spiked up twice. Each time, checking server-status has shown hundreds of links to the same two pages.
Once I got the server calmed down, I tried opening up one of those pages and within a minute the server was at the maximum connections and alerting it's little heart out.
Bad news is, this database is a monster so I can't figure out what's actually in those pages. I'll have to see if I can wrestle it from the developer.
In the meantime I suppose I could write a script to count the number of apache processes and then restart when it reaches the max, but that's a nasty way to go about it.
Any better suggestions? If not, thanks for your help anyway, I wouldn't have got this far without it.

|About a week ago, I noticed that one of my marigolds in my garden was slightly covered in a white cobweb. I didn't think much of it until now. It looks like the entire plant is dead and brown and the cobweb like covering is thicker and has encased the entire plant and has now gotten onto my eggplant. What is it and how do I kill whatever bug is doing it??? Please HELP!!!

|Mites. Blast them off with water making sure to get the underside of the leaves.
|Spider Mites might do this but it is not something I have seen, a whole plant covered with webs they create. There are a number of moth caterpillars that will do that, but usually they eat the plant, too. Water is a good pesticide, if used early enough and with proper care so harm to the plant is limited.
