It has come to my understanding that the building is full of cockroaches. They have been found in our building in multiple units and halls. The building is poorly managed which results in this dirty enviroment. This isn't the first time this building has dealt with an infestation. Management is lazy and it feels as if they do not care about the tenants. Most tenants have come to an understanding that this building shouldn't be lived in and they are preparing to move out. I strongly recommend to
all those considering 165 cosburn to turn around and never look at this place again.

I moved into this building in Apr 2014. I have been wanting to get out since the day I moved in. The building is a mess the super is so lazy he never cleans. I have sent pictures and e-mails to the property manager of the building and nothing was done about any of my complaints except one. Which was the one about the garbage cans in the underground that where overflowing with garbage and his solution to this was to remove the garbage cans all toge
ther. I also asked the property manger not to inform the super that it was me but he did any how and I was confronted by the super at 10pm in lobby. It is infested with cockroaches and they refuse to spray the whole building at once. The apartment is so cold that every tenant that lives in the building have to run electric heaters. Thank God my hydro is included in my rent but any new tenant that moves in is now responsible for there own hydro. The window are so old that air comes through them and they freeze over so that you can not see out of them. In the summer my daughter has a waterfall from her window every time it rains. I would recommend that you don't move into this building.

It has come to my understanding that bed bugs have been found in our building in multiple units. The building is poorly managed which results in this dirty enviroment. This isn't the first time this building has dealt with an infestation but we were only notified about this recent bed bugs because it was the unit next to ours. Management is lazy and it feels as if they do not care about the tents. Most tents have come to an understanding that this building shouldn't lived in and are preparing to
move out. I strongly recommend to all those considering 165 cosburn to turn around and never look at this place again.

When I moved into 165 Cosburn ave. with my kids, I never knew what a bedbug was. I soon found out. The whole appartment was infested, my children and I were being eaten alive. I lost everything I owned. they called an exterminator, they came they sprayed and I thought my problems were over. I purchased all new furniture, depleting all of my savings only to be infested again. There are several apartments in this building that have bedbugs. They have been sprayed but like myself have found that th
e problem presist. If you dare to move to 165 Cosburn BEWARE you too will lose everything.
Mad as Hell on 09/01/2009
I just moved into 165 Cosburn Avenue #408 on Aug. 1, 2009, and 3 weeks later realized my bed had bed bugs. I never had that before!! I told the landlord on Thursday, August 27, and they didn't spray until Mon., Aug. 31st!!!! They only spray twice 2 weeks apart, but not ANY of the surrounding units!! Just the one above me who had bed bugs 2 months prior (as I later found out). Others in this building have it, too, as I learned after.
I've thrown out most of my things, and am moving out s
oon. i'VE LOST EVERYTHING.

The Value of Mexican Produce
We all know how important on time delivery is for the unsatisfiable American retailers, right? Routing produce from Mexico into the Texas Valley has become increasingly appealing to shippers with customers in the Midwest and Northeast specifically. The new highway provides a much safer route for vehicles to travel compared to the previously used route: "The Devil's Backbone" aka El espinazo del diablo.Read More

I have a Safety 1st All In One Convertible Car Seat, and love it. We actually have 2, one for my car and one for Dad's car. There are 3 reclining positions, and it reclines with an easy pull handle on the front of the seat. It adjusts the height with easy handles on the top of the seat. And the harness adjusts easily also with a handle on the front of the car seat. All this is great for when you get baby all in, and then realize the harness is too tight for the winter jacket (or similar situation). I believe it is rear facing up to 30 pounds, then goes forward facing with the 5 point harness, and can be used as a belt positioning booster up to 100 pounds (I'm pretty sure it was 100). The only thing that drives me crazy is my son is forever pulling off the cup holder, tossing it across the backseat, and then wanting it back as I'm driving down the freeway. But that is a small annoyance for all the benefits. My parents bought one for their car, which I totally DO NOT recommend. It is an Eddie Bauer Deluxe Convertible Car Seat CC060GRT. The reclining feature is a fold out bar under the seat. So if baby falls asleep, you cannot recline the seat to make it more comfortable. You actually have to take the seat out of the car, turn it upside down, and fold down the bar. The same thing is true for the height adjustment on the harness. You have to thread the belts through the different slots. So when it is time to change the height, you have to take the car seat out, unthread the belts, and thread them through the higher slot. It does however have the adjusting handle on the front of the seat if the harness it too tight. It also has little storage pockets for toys and such, but the kid can't reach them when they are buckled in. Good Luck!!!

Deliverance church is home to about 175 members regularly. It is located right in the middle of the Kiganjo slum area. The partnership agreement with DCK was signed in December 2010, and the two workers, Patrick and Ann, were hired and trained during January 2011. They began recruiting the first group of clients in February 2011, and this group of 77 clients (representing 272 children!) graduated in January 2012. A second group of clients began the program in March 2012.
Thika is a populous area on the Northern outskirts of Nairobi, located along the main highway to Nyeri and Northern Kenya. It holds several sizable factories and is surrounded by large pineapple farms. Kiganjo is a large slum on the east side of Thika. The slum holds many people who migrated from Muslim areas in the Northwestern parts of Kenya looking for work in Nairobi.
Ann and her husband Kamau have one son. Before being hired by CFA, she worked in a local clinic/dispensary. Ann does not see her work as a job, but more of a calling. She shows her passion in her work every day in the way that she relates and cares for the clients.
Patrick and his wife Mary Njeri have one daughter. He is an assistant pastor at the church and formerly worked as a businessman in the Kiganjo area before CFA. He has stepped in many times to preach and lead the congregation when the head pastor is away.

In his Aug. 23 column, David Masciotra spoke for a lot of us who agree that the only differences between Democrats and Republicans are the rights they want to take away from us. To the Republicans we say, "Stay out of my bedroom" and to the Democrats we say, "Stay out of my bank account." There are still a few out here who agree that the United States should, indeed, be the "land of the free." We are called libertarians.

Gene Affects Pain Sensitivity
Researchers have identified a gene that affects both a persons sensitivity to short-term (acute) pain and their risk of developing chronic pain after a kind of back surgery.
A team led by Dr. Clifford J. Woolf of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston identified the gene, called GCH1, which codes for an enzyme called GTP cyclohydrolase. Dr. Mitchell B. Max of NIH's National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research was part of the research team; the work was also funded by NIH's National Institute on Alcoholism Abuse and Alcoholism, NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and other organizations.
The researchers explain in the October 22, 2006, advance online publication of Nature Medicine that they identified GCH1 by looking for genes that underwent significant changes in activity after sciatic nerve injury. GCH1 is one of several genes that code for enzymes needed to produce a chemical called tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). BH4 is involved in producing dopamine and several other nerve-signaling chemicals.
The investigators tested the effects of GTP cyclohydrolase and BH4 in several animal models of pain. They found that rats with pain caused by nerve damage had greatly increased levels of GCH1 gene activity and BH4, and that injecting a GTP cyclohydrolase inhibitor called DAHP alleviated hypersensitivity to pain in animal models. Injecting BH4 greatly increased pain sensitivity.
The researchers looked for GCH1 gene variations in people and found that a specific variant of the gene protected against development of chronic pain in people who had participated in a study of a surgery for back pain. About 28% of the people in the study had at least one copy of the pain-protective variant of the gene. People with two copies of the protective version of GCH1 had the lowest risk of developing chronic pain, those with one copy had an intermediate risk and those with no copies had the highest risk.
The researchers went on to show that the gene variant appeared to reduce acute pain in normal volunteers. Those with two copies of the protective gene variant were less sensitive to temporary pain induced by pressure and other stimuli than those with one or no copies.
"This is a completely new pathway that contributes to the development of pain," Dr. Woolf says. "The study shows that we inherit the extent to which we feel pain, both under normal conditions and after damage to the nervous system."
The GTP cyclohydrolase inhibitor used in this study, DAHP, is not very strong and is unlikely to be useful as a human drug, Woolf says. Researchers are now looking for other substances that might work as GTP cyclohydrolase inhibitor drugs in humans.
Dr. Woolf and his colleagues are also planning studies to learn how GCH1 regulates pain. They hope to identify other gene variants that affect pain sensitivity and the risk of chronic pain. This gene accounts for some of the inherited differences in pain, but other genes likely also play a role.

Alternative Licensure Programs
There are many people out there who give up on becoming a teacher because they already have a four-year degree in a non-educational discipline and do not want to return for another four years in order to get the neccessary education to become a teacher. Luckily, alternative licensure programs can help these people become teachers in one to two years, instead of four.
The alternative licensure program is an intensive teacher preparation program that takes those who want to become teachers and already have a degree in a high-need area. It can also be used by existing teachers to add additional certification to their license, such as English as a second language (ESL), bilingual, or Special Needs Education. This program was designed to help attract new teachers in specific fields where teachers are currently lacking.
State Programs
Each state has their own alternative licensure programs available, and all of them are different. Even with the alternative licensure program those wishing to teach will still need to complete any state mandated testing and apply for a teaching license. For alternative teacher certification programs by state, visit the National Center for Alternative Certification.
Some states offer preliminary licensure for those wishing to teach, which give them a five-year window where they can work while obtaining the additional education requirements. Depending on the license you wish to apply for, additional coursework or exams may be necessary (such as for early childhood teachers or teachers of students with severe disabilities).
There are many other different kinds of alternative licensure programs, such as the Troops to Teachers Program, which helps to relieve teacher shortages by paving the way for former military personnel to find gainful employment in the civilian world by helping them become teachers. Participants in the Troops to Teachers program with a bachelor's degree can become teachers, while those with an associate's degree can become teacher's aides.
Local Programs
In order to address specific teacher shortages some of these alternative licensure programs are offered on a city or regional basis, such as the Los Angeles Urban Intern Teacher Credential Program. This program allows potential teachers to teach in elementary to secondary school as an intern, provided that they have a bachelor's degree in one of the most-needed subjects and pass the state-required tests for teacher licensing in California. This one-year program gives new teachers hands-on experience and lets them qualify to become fully-fledged teachers in less time, while filling a teaching gap in the area.
Finding Information
It is a good idea to check out your state's department of education websites so you can gain access to the testing and licensing requirements where you live. You may also contact your local department of education website or school board for more information on the programs that they offer.
Now more than ever our country is in need of smart, qualified teachers. If you're thinking of making a career change, you can make use of an alternative licensure programs to become a teacher in one to two years. Don't miss out on an opportunity to make a difference and have a rewarding career.

SILENT - Subclinical AtrIal FibrilLation and StrokE PreveNtion Trial
- Full Text View
- Tabular View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Introduction: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have a substantial risk of stroke and systemic embolism. Subclinical AF is often suspected to be the cause of stroke in these patients. The detection of asymptomatic AF episodes is a challenge and the real rate of occurrence of these episodes remains unknown. The rate of stroke is high among patients who have received a pacemaker and this device can detect subclinical episodes of rapid atrial rate, which correlate with electrocardiographically documented AF. The net benefit of anticoagulant treatment is well established in patients with clinical AF but data about anticoagulation in subclinical AF setting is unknown. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of anticoagulant therapy on subclinical AF, directed by cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) intensive monitoring, on the incidence of stroke and systemic embolism and correlate the AF episodes detected by CIED with thromboembolic events. Methods: This is a prospective, randomized, unicentric, parallel clinical study in patients with atrioventricular pacemaker, defibrillator or cardiac resynchronization therapy devices in sinus rhythm and CHADS2 score (an index of the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, range from 0 to 6) ≥ 2 . Patients will be randomized to the intervention group - intensive monitoring arm (Group I) or control group - routine schedule arm (Group II) in a 1:1 ratio. Time to inclusion will be 24 months and all patients will be followed up for a period of 36 months. Group I patients will be submitted to device data collection every 2 months, while the Group II patients will be managed conventionally. Patients from Group I with episodes of subclinical AF will receive anticoagulant therapy, as well as patients with clinical AF of both arms. Device data from Group II patients will not be analyzed until they achieve the primary endpoint. Primary endpoint: stroke or systemic embolism. Secondary endpoints: subclinical AF rate, total mortality, cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular hospitalization and bleeding rates. Expected outcome: It is expected that anticoagulation therapy of subclinical AF directed by CIED intensive monitoring will reduce the incidence of stroke and systemic embolism comparing to patients with non-diagnosed subclinical AF.

Welcome to the Seattle Seahawks' theater of the absurd.
They've lost six of their past eight games by an average of 22 points a contest, yet instead of considering their potential position for next year's draft, the Seahawks at 6-8 will win the NFC West by winning their final two games, beginning at Tampa Bay on Sunday.
"We still have an opportunity and we're blessed with that," Seahawks running back Justin Forsett said. "And we've got to make sure that we take advantage of the opportunities that we're given, and don't let this slip away."
Taking advantage of its opportunities means Seattle needs to limit errors that have led to teams running away in the second half.
The most glaring problem has been turnovers – 30 in all. With a minus-9 turnover differential, the Seahawks are 30th in the league.
Further, the Seahawks are tied for 23rd in the league in accepted penalties with 93 for 810 yards; holding and false start penalties have consistently stalled potential scoring drives.
"It gets frustrating at times when you know what you're capable of and we don't consistently do it. And that's what we're missing – the consistency," Forsett said.
"We've got to make sure that we're executing and not shooting ourselves in the foot. It's going to come down to who's executing the most at the end of the season, and we've got to make sure we're finishing drives and putting points on the board, and making sure we're closing teams out. We've not been putting together a complete game yet, and we've got to have that."
Coach Pete Carroll is not apologizing for the situation his team is in.
"I don't know if this is a surprise to you, but our guys are excited about the opportunity," Carroll said. "We've set out from the beginning to try and get all of our focus on winning the division, and that's what is still out there, and we're going for it."
With two games to go, here's a look at the scenarios for the Seahawks to make the postseason:
• If the Seahawks win their last two games, they wind up the division winners and in the playoffs at 8-8 by virtue of beating division rival St. Louis in the final game of the year and holding a tiebreaker over the Rams.
• If Seattle loses at Tampa Bay and the Rams beat San Francisco, the Seahawks can be the first team in NFL history to sneak into the playoffs at 7-9 if they defeat St. Louis at home the following week. Seattle also would advance at 7-9 in that same scenario if San Francisco defeats St. Louis but loses its final game of the year against Arizona.
• If Seattle, San Francisco and St. Louis tie at 7-9, with the Niners beating St. Louis and Arizona down the stretch, then the Niners would go to the playoffs by virtue of their better division record at 5-1.

I think that this site has some definite merit, but it does not really have any information ther you can't get from many different sources. The idea here is good though. There are some very good tips here to help you get an idea to a patent office, or even to fight for your rights if someone has stolen an idea of yours. The information is useful if you are thinking about trying to patent something. Technical Remarks: This site is very easy to use and to navigate. There may be a little too much text to absorb, but the section headings get you to where you want to go quickly.

This is an excellent place to learn about the patenting process, from the development of an idea, through applying for a patent, to marketing your patent or product. PENNSYLVANIA RESIDENTS ARE EXCLUDED FROM VISITING THIS SITE. The first thing you encounter is a notice that you must read the Terms of Service before viewing the site. Residents of Pennsylvania (and certain other commercial concerns) are prohibited from viewing or using this site in any way, under threat of a $25,000 fine. I do not know if this is enforceable, but since it does not affect me, I forged on.I looked at most, but not all, the material. I found the section on patent protection to be especially informative. Hundreds of useful links to other sites related to all phases of the invention process are listed in a section labeled "Good Guys.״Navigation on this site is especially easy, as each selected section contains embedded hyperlinks and an outline of the entire site along the left margin with the current section expanded to include each of the links which appear in the text.

Welcome to the virtual home for the Archdiocese of Boston.
This website is the product of a collaborative effort that involved many talented and dedicated individuals who understand the important role of web communications in furthering the mission of the Church.
We chose March 17 to unveil our new site in honor of St. Patrick, the patron saint of our archdiocese.
St. Patrick worked tirelessly to bring the Good News to the Irish people in ways that were accessible to them. Perhaps the most famous example of this is the story of St. Patrick using the shamrock to explain the nature of the Trinity.
In that same spirit, we hope and pray that this new web site will help people to better come to know the love of Christ and His Church in Boston.
I encourage you to explore its many resources to learn more about our Catholic Faith and Our Archdiocese.

It's hard to imagine this not being the lowest point of the season. The Sacramento Kings came into this game with a worse record than the Wolves and were without superstar Tyreke Evans to lead them. But that didn't matter, no, sir. Not when you have Marcus Thornton, Beno Udrih and, of course, Samuel Dalembert to make up the spread in Evans' wake.
Without Kevin Love due to a groin injury, the Wolves played possibly the flattest version of basketball I've witnessed from them all season long. Considering the Four Factors, which any game can be properly analyzed by, the Wolves miserably failed to do a damn thing against a pitiful Kings squad.
Let's start with factor one: Shooting. Basketball Reference says that shooting makes up 40-percent of a winning formula for any game. The Wolves actually shot well today at 44-percent. Given anything in the mid-forty's should at least keep you competitive, so something else must've went wrong.
The second factor is free throw shooting. We all know the importance of getting to the line and cashing in on these opportune looks. The Wolves are currently ranked 15th in the league in free throw percentage, which isn't half bad (Also consider the timing of FTM, which isn't very good for the Wolves). Today, they actually outshot the Kings, 75-percent to 61-percent. But free throws only do so much in a game, so let us continue in reviewing the Four Factors.
Factor three is your turnover rate (Uh-oh). This is a young squad; you're going to turn the ball over and it will more than likely be at a high rate, but the Wolves turned over the ball 25 times today against what I didn't believe was too stifling of a defense — Just wait until Boston, Chicago and Miami come to town next week. And they were all mental mistakes. A bad pass in the pros isn't the same as a bad pass in high school; all of these guys are physically mature enough to thrust an accurate ball to a teammate without much hassle involved. You know it's a mental issue when they're unable to complete these plays. For instance, Luke Ridnour, arguably the most intelligent player on the team, had three horrible possessions in a row. One started with him flying across the lane into traffic and fumbling the ball into a sea of purple jerseys. The next possession was awfully similar, instead this time he essentially just threw the ball away. And the third possession ended with him heaving a contested shot from the very corner of the floor without so much as a prayer of it going in. These possessions led to points going the other way while we sat idly throwing the our possessions away. So, despite having a decent shooting percentage on the board, the Wolves only had 79 attempts compared to the Kings' 91. That's a difference of 12 possessions and possibly 24 points on the board. That's the price you have to pay for turning the ball over.
The last factor, and maybe the most important in this game, was rebounding. The Wolves, jockeyed by the rebounding mogul that is Love, are, statistically speaking, the best in the biz when it comes to crashing the boards. But without Love's physicality inside, rebounding becomes a game of length and determination. The Kings' frontcourt does not lack in the length department. Both Jason Thompson and Dalembert are nearly 7-feet tall and have abnormally long limbs. With those lengthy arms, those two bolstered Sac-Town's rebounding with a combined 25 boards, as the Kings went on and grabbed 47 as a team. The Wolves? Darko Milicic, an average rebounder, led the way with six and gave the team a total of 27. A 20 rebound difference won't get you a win, and thus we realize the importance of Love's intensity and hustle on the boards. Because without it, this team could very well lose by 20 every night.
The only positive I could take from this game was how well Darko did on Demarcus Cousins on the defensive end. The big Kahn man has been notorious for his awful drafts but if this game said anything, it was that he got it right when he didn't draft Cousins with the fourth overall pick last Summer. Not saying that Wes has done any better, but having to deal with Cousins' baggage would not have been a picture-perfect situation for Rambis and co. Anyways, the ego-manaical hot-head was ejected after a scuffle with the feisty Ridnour. Then as Martell Webster and Nikola Pekovic stepped in to regulate — a shout out goes to the homey Nate Dogg, RIP — he abruptly shoved 'em both and stir even a bigger scene. As the story went on, technical fouls were dished out and Cousins hit the showers prematurely. The Wolves did go on a mini run afterwards, cutting the lead to five, but were thwarted by hot shooting and physicality under the hoop.
That just about does this one. The Wolves were never really close in this one thanks to turnovers and no rebounds. Next up the Puppies head to Dallas on Thursday. Hopefully a nice break will heal some guys up and do this team some good. Only time will tell on that one.

Long known for his line of men's scents, Christopher Wicks of English Laundry tweaked his No. 7 blend just for the ladies. Bright and fruity, the result is both flirty and fun, grounded with alluring hints of masculine musk.
I received this as a sample in one of my boxes, and I am in love with this scent! It's so warm and yummy smelling and reminds me of autumn every time I put it on! It lasts forever (seriously, I'll put it on during the day, and the next morning after a full day of running around and a full night of working at a bar, my fiance can still smell it on me!) and it's such a pretty, sexy scent without getting too much into "you can only wear this for a night out" territory. I highly recommend it!5

Bulls Say
Broadcom is the market share leader in providing chips for technologies such as enterprise networking, set-top boxes, and mobile connectivity functions.
Broadcom has demonstrated proficiency for integrating various functions onto a single chip, which ultimately enables the development of advanced devices like smartphones and tablets.
Broadcom has an extensive R&D staff, as the majority of its employees work in R&D. This impressive human capital should help the firm develop and integrate new technologies.
Read more
Bears Say
Broadcom tried and failed to build a sustainable wireless baseband business, and it remains to be seen whether the lack of a robust baseband offering will weigh on future wireless connectivity chip sales.
Broadcom has relatively high customer concentration in wireless connectivity products, and design losses in products like Apple's iPhones or iPads could be damaging blows to the company.
Broadcom is an industry leader in TV set-top box system-on-chip solutions, but the rise of cord-cutting and over-the-top TV streaming poses a risk to future TV STB sales.

We consider Broadcom to be good stewards of shareholder capital, and we approve of the firm's pending move to sell itself to Avago in a $37 billion deal that will likely represent a solid, but not spectacular, haul for shareholders.

New York S/S '13: How to … Get a Super-Sleek Up-Do, Inspired by Jeremy Scott
Fri, 14 September 2012 5:03PM
One of our favourite hair stylists ever, Wella's Eugene Souleiman, was the man behind the manes at Jeremy Scott's New York Fashion Week show. The inspiration: 'ghetto fabulous'. That translated to a super-sleek up-do (all the better for fitting under the caps the models wore on the catwalk), into which was woven a long, slinky, six-strand braid.
Which might not translate so well into our everyday lives. But there is a great take-home tip we want to share with you. And it's how to get an up-do that's a fabulously sleek as this one.
Here's what you do:
- Wash and condition hair, then spritz Wella Professional Perfect Setting Blow Dry Lotion onto the roots.
- With a flat brush, blow-dry hair away from the face and up from the nape, to create a base for your gravity-defying 'do.
Now here comes the interesting bit …
- Section out a circle of hair on your crown and secure into a ponytail right atop your head.
- Now take the front section of hair and brush up into the air, misting with hairspray and smoothing out all flyaways as you go. Right about now you'll need someone to hold this ponytail for you.
- Because now you go to the back section of hair, and repeat the same process, smoothing and brushing hair skywards.
- Next you want to join all sections of hair so that the middle one – the ponytail – is snuggled in the middle. Tie them all together.
- The reason you go in three sections – as opposed to pulling all your hair up at once – is that you get greater control and a sleeker finish by woking with smaller sections.
- Smooth the surface of hair by spritzing some hairspray on an old toothbrush and running it all over. Gloss it up with Wella Professionals Shimmer Delight Shine Spray.
- Now it's time to finish off your up-do. Here you can go any way you choose – whether a loose twist (and a textured bun would contrast nicely with the sleek, shiny base) or a tightly knotted, chic chignon.
What do you think, Primpers? Clever, isn't it?

Quasar Ventures Launches New Company With An Investment Of USD 1 Million2014/06/24.
Rodati.com received its Seed Capital round to finance its development in the Latin American market.
Buenos Aires, June 23, 2014. Quasar Ventures, a technology focused company builder, announced today that it has attracted a Seed Capital round of $1 million in funding from a group of strategic investors to develop Rodati.com. Rodati.com is an internet company that seeks to simplify the new car buying experience in Latin America. Investors include NXTP Labs, Richmond Global and a group of angel investors based in both the USA and Latin America. Further, Quasar Ventures has also taken part in this round of funding.
Rodati.com was Co-Founded by the experienced entrepreneurial leaders of Quasar Ventures, Andy Freire, Santiago Bilinkis and Pablo Simón Casarino – together with two young entrepreneurs: Julián Bender and Miguel Angel Morkin. The founding team was completed with the addition of Ezequiel Sculli as CTO.
This way, Rodati.com is the latest addition to Quasar's portfolio, which includes Restorando.com and Avenida.com, two companies that disrupted their respective industries with innovative business proposals and also attracted great interest from local and international investors.
About Rodati.com
Rodati.com provides a hassle-free experience that simplifies the new car buying process for the customer. On the site, users can get all the tools and information needed to make an informed decision without making calls or visiting multiple dealers. Similarly, car dealers get help to multiply their sales and lower their costs.
In the initial phase, all the efforts will be focused on San Pablo (Brasil), aiming to create a network of 50 dealers in the next 6 months. The expansion of the service to Argentina and Mexico is planned for later this year.
Referring to the launch of Rodati.com, Co-Founder and CEO of Quasar Pablo Simon, said "the idea is to make a radical change in the experience of buying new cars, end to end." According to Simon, "the result of this new initiative validates Quasar's business model, which is neither a Venture Capital fund nor an incubator." "We are an experienced group of entrepreneurs who create disruptive and successful technology companies, combining solid business models and talented teams of entrepreneurs", he added.
Miguel Angel Morkin and Julian Bender explained "if we add the number of new car sales in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, we are talking about 50% of the amount of sales in the United States. There are few markets in the region where the retail marketplace is so close to the USA, generally, the ratio tends to be 1 to 10", they stressed.
According to Quasar's estimates, Rodati.com can become a company valued in USD 500 Million with estimated USD 80 Million annual revenue on a regional market that holds great potential for growth in the coming years.
Entrepreneurs stated that the funds will boost growth and will be directed at investments in human resources, marketing and technology.

Matson raises service rates by $225 per westbound container
Shipping costs will rise by an average of 5.6%
Matson announced Wednesday it will raise its rates for the company's Hawaii service by $175 per westbound container and $85 per eastbound container, effective Jan. 1, 2013.
The increase will be filed with the Surface Transportation Board. Matson will also raise its terminal handling charge by $50 per westbound container and $25 per eastbound container, also effective Jan. 1, 2013.
Matson estimates that the combined increase of both the rate adjustment and terminal handling charge will result in shipping costs rising by an average of 5.6 percent.
Historically, Matson announced average percentage increases based solely on the rate increase, excluding terminal handling charges. As of last year, it is now combing both numbers for the average percent increase in the interest of greater transparency.
"This rate increase will help offset rises in operating costs and support ongoing investments in our Hawaii service," said Dave Hoppes, senior vice president, ocean services. "This rate adjustment is consistent with our longstanding philosophy of implementing modest, incremental increases as necessary to maintain the highest levels of service."
In the past decade, Matson says it has invested nearly $1 billion in four new containerships, fleet enhancements, new container equipment, information technology and upgrades to its terminal facilities.
Matson's terminal handling charge was first implemented in 2003 and is designed to recover a portion of the costs associated with the movement of cargo through terminals. This charge is standard in the industry and appears as a separate line item at the bottom of the company's freight bills.
"Terminal handling costs comprise approximately 40 percent of Matson's operating costs," said Hoppes. "Matson continues to absorb a substantial amount of the expenses associated with terminal operations, the majority of which are driven by factors that are outside of our control."

Industry events showcasing Dante audio networking <see all>
Schoolhouse Audio-Visual, a Plano, Texas based systems design and integration firm, has brought new life to nearby Sojourn Church, by integrating Dante network from Audinate. Since launching the state of the art network, the 950-seat church has significantly elevated its routing flexibility and audio quality, pleasing everyone from parishioners to clergy and the church band.
The College of Music at the University of North Texas recently completed a large installation of RedNet components from Focusrite. A total of 44 RedNet units, which act as interfaces for the Dante™ Ethernet-based audio-over-IP network infrastructure, now connect the school's two main performance halls, each of which has its own recording control room, and a portable jazz workshop with a total of 64 I/O.
Powersoft X8 innovates and evolves the concept of the amplification platform though the integration of a worldwide compatible power-box and a full feature DSP inside the power amplifier.

Term limits proposed in La Mesa: Mayor Art Madrid believes proposal is personal vendetta
Measure could end up on Nov. 2014 ballot
LA MESA, Calif. - There has never been term limits for elected officials in La Mesa, but that could change if enough signatures are collected and verified.
"It's not directed at any one person," said La Mesa Vice Mayor Kristine Alessio.
However, La Mesa Mayor Art Madrid doesn't think so, and he told 10News, "We already have term limits; it's called an election. They're just trying to find a way to get rid of the mayor."
The issue came before the La Mesa City Council twice, and twice the issue was tabled.
If Alessio's effort collects enough signatures and is verified, and if it is approved by voters, it would limit mayor and city council terms to three consecutive four-year terms.
Madrid was asked if he thought this was a personnel vendetta against him, and he replied, "Without a doubt."
Madrid has been mayor for 24 years, and prior to that, he was a council member for 10 years.
Even a drunk-in-public scandal in 2008 did not deter the public from re-electing him.
The petition drive to start collecting signatures will begin soon, according to organizers, with the goal of getting the measure on the November 2014 ballot.
Madrid indicated he will be running for mayor once again in 2014.

TVA Wins International Award for Megasites Program
October 22, 2012
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—The Tennessee Valley Authority has earned a Gold Award from the International Economic Development Council for excellence in economic development.
TVA received the top honor for its Megasites certification program, which has attracted several major manufacturers to the Tennessee Valley in recent years, in the category of multi-year economic development program for communities with populations greater than 500,000.
The award was presented Oct. 2 at the IEDC's Annual Conference in Houston, Texas, attended by 1,500 economic development professionals and government leaders from around the world.
"It is with great satisfaction that we accept this prestigious global recognition on behalf of TVA, our customers and economic development partners," said John Bradley, TVA Senior Vice President of Economic Development. "The real winners are the Valley communities that have gained a tremendous number of jobs and investments in the past, and who will continue to benefit into the future as a result of the mega-business success of this Megasites certification program."
IEDC Chairman Jay Moon described TVA's Megasites program as a "phenomenal multi-year community preparedness and 'Megabusiness' success."
"We recognize the Tennessee Valley Authority for creating innovative and successful strategies to promote economic development in this period of global recovery," Moon said. "TVA demonstrates that they are at the forefront of the economic development profession and are using cutting-edge, effective practices that can be replicated in other communities."
The Megasites program began in 2004 after Bill Adams, a TVA Economic Development program manager, conceived a "catalog of certified sites" ready for manufacturers in response to international automobile companies' interest in building factories in North America.
Automotive consultant McCallum Sweeney Consulting established criteria for the 1,000-acre, utility-accessible sites and administered the program.
The Megasites program has generated about $5.5 billion in economic impact and more than 32,000 jobs annually, according to a Younger Associates economic impact study. Five companies have located to Megasites: Volkswagen in Chattanooga; Hemlock Semiconductor in Clarksville; Toyota in Blue Springs, Miss., near Tupelo; and Severstal and PACCAR, both in Columbus, Miss. Two Megasites remain the Interstate 24 site in Hopkinsville-Christian County, Ky., and the Memphis Regional Megasite in West Tennessee.
The IEDC, the world's largest organization for economic development professional, helps members create good jobs, community growth and improved quality of life in their regions. The Excellence in Economic Development Awards annually recognize the world's best economic development programs and partnerships, marketing materials and most influential leaders.
The Tennessee Valley Authority, a corporation owned by the U.S. government, provides electricity for business customers and distribution utilities that serve 9 million people in parts of seven southeastern states at prices below the national average. TVA, which receives no taxpayer money and makes no profits, also provides flood control, navigation and land management for the Tennessee River system and assists utilities and state and local governments with economic development.

Would someone please crochet up a swatch section to see if they can
follow these instructions. It's a baby blanket 40 x 60 which calls for
ch 150 to begin with. It's the 2nd row which is troublesome.
Instructionsare for colors A,B, and C so it has a checkerboard look to
Row 1 (right side): with CA, SC in 2nd ch from hook, *dc in next 3
ch**, ch 3, skip next 3 ch; rep from * to last ch, end at **; sc in last
ch; turn--149 sts.
Row 2: With color CB, ch 1, sc in first sc, * ch 3, skip next 3
dc**, working over ch-3 of last row, dc in next 3 ch of beg ch; rep from
* to last sc, end at **, sc in last sc; turn.
What you are doing in row 2 is working a double crochet in each of the 3 skipped chains of the foundation row. When you complete the second row you will see alternating color groups of 3 double crochet. Doing the rows this way interlocks the rows. The ch 3 spaces of row 1 will be inside the double crochets of Row 2 because you are not working stitches in them, but rather in the row below them (that's what they mean by working OVER the ch 3 in Row 1).
Hope this helps. If you still have problems, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll see if I can explain it in better terms.

Love Meetings

Monday, December 17, 2012, 4:30 p.m.
Theater 1 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1), T1
Love Meetings
1963–64. Italy. Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini. "[Pasolini] raced all over Italy, movie camera and tape recorder in hand, asking people everywhere, from famous soccer players to unknown peasants in the Crotone region, what they thought about love and sex. The intellectuals comment, and the people speak, freely voicing their particular truths. Comizi d'amore gives an unbiased picture of a changing Italy, and was a model for many later television documentaries. And yet what is striking is the presence on the screen of Pasolini himself" (Enzo Siciliano, Pasolini, 1982). In Italian; English subtitles. 90 min.

Jamaican Culture
Track & FieldPublished Mar 21, 2004
Jamaica has the prestigious honor of having the most success per capita of any country world in track and field. This great honor started when Jamaica's first track Gold Medallists Dr Authur Wint won the 400m in 1948 Olympics. He along other greats Herb McKenley, Leslie Laing, and George Rhoden put Jamaica on the map in one of the greatest relays when the team won the 4 x 400 relay in the 1952 Olympics.
Jamaica's success at the Olympics and international competitions continued through out years with athletes like Donald Quarrie (gold 200m, silver 100m, in the 1976 Olympics), Bert Cameron (silver, 400 relay, 1988), to Grace Jackson (silver, 200m, 1988), to Winthrop Graham (silver, 400m hurdles, 1992), Raymond Stewart, Juliet Cuthbert (silver, 100, 200m, 1992), Deon Hemmings (gold, 400 hurdles, 1996) and perhaps the most popular athlete track Queen Merlene Ottey who has more International and Olympics medal than any other Jamaicans.
Track and Field is ingrained in Jamaica as the majority of the schools in Jamaica have a track program in their curriculum. The annual National Boys and Girls Championship (Champs') which is held at the National Stadium in Kingston is the premier event for Track and Field in Jamaica where future track athletes showcase there skills to the rest of the island and also to the many overseas recruits who attend this event. The athletes who dominate this event are eventually selected to represent Jamaica in annual Penn Relays in Pennsylvania, USA. This is event had been "dubbed" the Jamaican Relays because of the Jamaican dominance in winning the most medals.
Our track and field athletes are acknowledged to be among the best in the world and many of them have gone on to represent other countries Donovan Bailey, Linford Christie, Juliet Campbell, Merlene Frazier, Ben Johnson, and Maria Jose.
