"The Führer has ordered: (1) . . . . Preparations are also to be made to enable the Free State of Danzig to be occupied by German troops by surprise."In spite of having ordered military preparations for the occupation of Danzig, Hitler on 30 January 1939 said in a speech in the Reichstag: "During the troubled months of the past year, the friendship between Germany and Poland has been one of the reassuring factors in the political life of Europe."
"The Führer has added the following directions to Fall Weiss. (1) Preparations must be made in such a way that the operation can be carried out at any time from 1 September 1939 onwards. (2) The High Command of the Armed Forces has been directed to draw up a precise timetable for Fall Weiss and to arrange by conferences the synchronized timings between the three branches of the Armed Forces." On 11 April 1939 a further directive was signed by Hitler and issued to the Armed Forces, and in one of the annexes to that document the words occur:

If you have "a mouth full of teeth," as many prospective orthodontic patients have, it may be difficult to see how your crowded teeth will have room to align correctly. Many patients with crowded teeth assume the only way to straighten their teeth is by pulling one or more teeth out completely to make room for the rest, but luckily, that's not the case! Invisalign dentists in NYC will rarely pull teeth as part of their orthodontic work. Instead, they'll use one or a combination of techniques to spread your teeth out:
Evening the Spread: Tools of the Trade
There are several ways NYC Invisalign dentists can make room for each and every one of your crowded teeth.
Palatal Expanders:
These devices help "spread" the roof or your mouth (also known as the palette) outwards, widening your dental arch to make room for crowded and mis-aligned teeth. These appliances are minimally visible to others, and your Invisalign dentist will usually recommend wearing these appliances for several weeks before your Invisalign braces.
Facebow Headgear:
These are wide "bows" that attach to your traditional metal bracket braces and are used to move your upper molars back in your mouth to create room for crowded teeth. Headgear is usually only worn at night, where pressure from the headstrap eventually creates backward movement in the upper teeth set.
Are Your Teeth Really That Crowded?
Oftentimes, patients with crowded teeth don't require special tools to correct crowded teeth. Invisalign braces are well-suited to correct most mild to moderate crowded teeth symptoms; gradual pressure applied through a series of personalized aligner trays will eventually help even out and straighten crowded teeth without the need for tools such as palatal expanders or headgear.
Pulling teeth is rarely necessary, and NYC Invisalign dentists will do whatever is possible to avoid removing teeth before orthodontry.

Upper Great Lakes Family Health Center has secured funding from the Federal Bureau of Primary Health Care to improve access to quality healthcare in Houghton. This funding is helping form a unique partnership with Portage Health that will transition Portage Health's existing primary care practice in Houghton into a Family Health Center that is designated as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC).
"It was incredibly competitive to get this funding," UGLFHC Chief Executive Officer Don Simila said. "More than 600 projects nationwide were up for this funding, and we were one of just 30 who received it."
The FQHC designation allows the health center to accept all patients and insurances, including Medicare, regardless of ability to pay. The Houghton Family Health Center will provide services on a sliding fee, based on federal poverty guidelines.
"Everyone should be able to afford an office visit at the health center," said Jim Bogan, President and CEO of Portage Health. "The goal here is to have a healthier community, and we're doing that by offering patients the ability to pay a fee that they can afford."
Established patients at the health center will continue to have the same relationship with their provider that they have come to expect. For the vast majority of patients, there will be no visible change. For many patients, this transition will lead to lower fees for care.
"There are a high number of patients in our community who need help managing their chronic diseases, or simply need to get into a health center for the first time in a long time to establish a medical home," Bogan said. "Portage Health and UGLFHC are focused on population health management as partners in a clinically integrated system of care."
"This is the right thing for our community," Simila added.
Learn more about UGLFHC, and this partnership at portagehealth.org/familyhealthcenters, or by visiting uglhealth.org.
About Portage Health

Portage Health owns and operates a 36-bed acute-care hospital, a 60-bed skilled nursing unit and related health care services in Hancock-Houghton, Michigan. More information about Portage Health can be found at portagehealth.org.
About Upper Great Lakes Family Health Center
Upper Great Lakes Family Health Center is a community-based primary care center. It is designated as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), dedicated to providing high quality primary care throughout the lifecycle to everyone regardless of his or her ability to pay. The UGLFHC operates family health centers in Gwinn, Sawyer and Houghton. More information about UGLFHC can be found at uglhealth.org.
HANCOCK – Due to high occurrences of illness to children in the area, the Portage Health Family Birthing Center will be temporarily closed to visiting children, including siblings.
Although we recognize the inconvenience of this necessary and temporary change in policy, the change in visitation is effective immediately and is being put in place to protect the health of our newborns. This is effective for children under the age of 12, and anybody experiencing any respiratory illness symptoms.
Healthy adults are still allowed to enter the birthing center during regular visiting hours (daily, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 to 8 p.m.), but until Portage Health officials feel the number of local illnesses is significantly lowered, children will not be allowed to enter.

The following is a letter to the editor written by Marianne Berghefer, hospice volunteer and bereavement coordinator at Portage Health Hospice.
To the editor:
With the calendar flipping to November shortly, it's once again time to recognize National Hospice Month.
Hospice care is considered to be the model for quality and compassionate end-of-life treatment. Hospice involves a team-oriented approach of expert medical care, pain management, emotional, spiritual and bereavement support expressly tailored to the patient's wishes.
Hospice care is provided in the patient's home, a nursing facility or an adult foster care home such as Omega House. Healthcare professionals who specialize in hospice care work closely with staff and volunteers to address all the symptoms of the terminal illness, with the aim of promoting comfort and dignity. Emotional, spiritual and bereavement support is also extended to families for 13 months after the death of their loved one.
On November 1, at noon, hospice and palliative care agencies across the state will be ringing bells in honor of all who have died under hospice care during the last year, and also in respect for their families and loved ones. We hope you will join us this year in ringing a bell at your home, office or wherever you happen to be at noon as we honor those who have passed in hospice.
Marianne Berghefer, Hospice Volunteer & Bereavement Coordinator
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Portage Health is hoping women across the Copper Country will take the time to have a mammogram this month. All patients who schedule a mammogram appointment during the month of October will receive a free gift from the hospital.
Although many great strides have been made in breast cancer awareness and treatment, there remains much to be accomplished. Portage Health is dedicated to educating and empowering women to take charge of their own breast health.
Portage Health offers a complete women's health team of physicians, digital mammography, a compassionate, full-time cancer care team and a state-of-the-art cancer care center right here in Hancock.
Patients can schedule an appointment to see a physician for a breast exam and mammogram by calling the Portage Health Women's Health Team at (906) 483-1050, or by contacting their family practice physician.
Don't let the flu bug get you or your family this flu season, join your local healthcare organizations on Saturday, Sept. 28 from 9 to 11 a.m. at Hancock Central High School and be amongst the first in the area to get the flu shot this year.
Aspirus Keweenaw, Portage Health and the Western U.P. Health Department host the annual Community Flu Shot Clinic. The clinic is a unique opportunity for health partners to work together and with local nursing students and volunteers to test emergency response capabilities. The end result is a clinic that features more than a dozen healthcare professionals providing quick and easy access to the flu shot.
Each flu shot is $25. Curbside service is available to those with limited mobility. Cash, check, Medicare Part B and Michigan Medicaid Card are all acceptable payment methods. The flu shot is recommended for anyone 6 months old or older.
For more information on the flu clinic call the Western U.P. Health Department at (906) 482-7382.
The Portage Health Fitness Center is now offering online booking for group fitness classes and personal training sessions via computer or iOS device.

The new fall group fitness schedule is available for online booking. An Android app is also in development and should be available soon.
"We're working to make this as easy as possible," Luskin said. "Our staff is educated on the platform, and available to help."

It's possible that at least two asset managers, BlackRock Inc. and Fidelity Investments, could be designated as systemically important financial institutions by the Financial Stability Oversight Council sometime in the next 12 months. The potential regulatory standards that the designated institutions would have to meet, however, are far from clear.
It is unlikely that strict bank-like capital requirements would be imposed on these asset managers. The Senate recently set a precedent by passing a bill, S. 2270, that would give the Federal Reserve more flexibility in setting capital standards for insurance companies designated as SIFIs. Current and former House members, including Barney Frank, one of the authors of the Dodd-Frank law, have said that designating asset managers makes no sense.
Asset managers provide investment advice and offer money market funds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), alternative investments and private funds to their institutional and retail clients. They are subject to reporting and examination requirements through the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The FSOC's decision to consider designating asset managers as SIFIs has set off a multisided debate between Congress, the industry, and various regulators. If the asset managers aren't designated, the FSOC could ask the SEC to write new rules. SEC commissioner Daniel Gallagher, meanwhile, has called the FSOC's efforts a "power grab," saying that asset managers do not pose systemic risks. Regulators will have several options to consider, and there are three areas of regulation that are probable, given the concerns that have been publicly raised:
New Reporting
In a September 2013 study, the Treasury Department's Office of Financial Research (OFR) raised several issues with asset managers, including insufficient information on their involvement in "shadow banking" activities, such as derivatives trading, securities lending or repo market borrowing and lending. The OFR also complained about incomplete counterparty exposure data; that information could help determine how connected asset managers are with each other and with systemically important banks.
One fix would be requiring asset managers to provide periodic reports detailing their exposure to shadow banking markets and clearly defining the companies to which they are exposed across all asset classes. Private hedge funds and private equity funds, including those run by some of the largest asset managers, already have to do this on Form PF, which is filed with the SEC. These reports will also be required quarterly for SIFI banks once regulators finish writing the rules, and will shed light on banks' exposures to asset managers.
Product-Based Regulation
The private sector is pushing for activities-based or product-based regulation rather than rules that apply to particular industries, companies or funds. BlackRock, for instance, sought new redemption requirements for certain types of funds to prevent runs. Vanguard Group Inc. wrote in a comment letter that "activities-based regulation offers the best form of protection against systemic risk."
In addition to product-based rules for derivatives, regulators also have floated proposals to increase the safety of shadow banking products, such as:
- Imposing margin requirements on any party that uses short-term collateralized funding to finance its securities holdings.
- Creating capital surcharges on short-term funding such as repurchase agreements, known as repos, and other securities lending products.
- Modifying liquidity standards for repurchase agreements.
- Creating redemption limits and gates for money market mutual funds.
Leverage Limits
The OFR study raised concerns that some asset managers may be too leveraged, which could amplify investor losses during a crisis. The report did acknowledge that mutual funds are already limited in the amount of leverage they can take on. For instance, regulations require private funds to report the extent of leverage used, and mutual funds' leverage from bank debt cannot exceed 33 percent of assets.
Exchange-traded funds, however, can take on leverage, and may not adequately disclose their strategy or exposures. BlackRock CEO Laurence D. Fink said in May that leveraged ETFs should carry a different label than other ETFs because they carry risks that could "blow up the industry."
Hedge funds and private-equity funds can take on leverage, but they are required to report to the SEC how leverage is used.
Regulators could address concerns with leveraged ETFs by limiting the use of leverage or adding new reporting requirements to glean more information on the leverage used by asset managers.
Potential Outcomes
The Fed has said it will tailor prudential standards to address the specific business models of SIFIs, but has shared very few details on what those regulations might look like. Even if asset managers aren't designated as SIFIs because of opposition from the industry, the SEC and members of Congress, more regulations that affect the industry could be coming.
Regulators, including the Fed, have been adamant that more regulation is needed to prevent problems within the shadow banking system, especially repos and money market funds. The latter are being addressed through a multiyear initiative by the SEC to write new rules, while the former have yet to be addressed by the Fed.
The Fed also hasn't finished writing the rules mandating counterparty credit exposure limits or quarterly reports — a feature that would provide valuable data on whether or not asset managers are systemically intertwined with the largest banks.
The FSOC could also recommend that the SEC create additional rules specific to asset managers that address leverage or redemption requirements. A separate global regulatory process through the International Organization of Securities Commissions (Iosco) and the Financial Stability Board may create fund-level rules for some of the largest international asset managers.
Bottom Line
There is no clear timeline for action because the FSOC operates without a public involvement process. Even if asset managers are designated as SIFIs, it could take months longer for the Fed to write specific rules for them. It's clear, however, that asset managers are under greater scrutiny and will spend more time complying with whatever rules and standards global and U.S. regulators impose.

A lateral interbody fusion is a new way of performing spinal fusion surgery in select patients.
Lumbar spinal fusion is sometimes recommended to correct problems in the anatomy of the back. It involves removing damaged disc and bone from between two vertebrae and inserting material (bone graft) that promotes bone growth. As the bone grows, the two vertebrae join together (fuse). Fusing the bones together can help make a particular area of the back more stable, reducing problems related to nerve irritation. Sometimes, plates or screws are also used to help stabilize the bones. Fusions can be done at one or more segments of the spine.
Traditionally, the surgeon performing this surgery reaches the back through an incision in the abdomen, the back, or both (depending on the individual patient's anatomy and needs). With a
lateral interbody fusion, the surgeon approaches the back through a small incision in the side of the body, using special tools and techniques. There are a number of other names for the same technique, including DLIF® (Direct Lateral Interbody Fusion), XLIF® (eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion), and transpsoas interbody fusion.
The lateral interbody fusion is a less invasive way to perform spinal fusion surgery. In most cases, patients who are candidates for this surgery are those who would have needed an incision in the abdomen in order for the surgeon to reach the area of concern. Approaching the spine through the abdomen means the surgeon must get around large blood vessels, nerves, muscles, and organs that are in the way. This can prolong recovery following surgery and, in rare cases, can cause complications such as nerve or blood vessel damage.
The lateral approach provides an alternate route to the spine that disturbs far fewer structures and tissues. This, in combination with small incisions, means much less discomfort for the patient and fewer risks of complications.
Some patients who have this surgery may also need an incision in the back; others can have their entire operation completed through the lateral incisions.
Not everyone who needs spinal fusion surgery is a good candidate for the lateral approach. It depends on many factors, especially the patient's own anatomy and exactly where the surgeon needs to go to fix the problem. However, for certain patients, the lateral approach provides a more gentle way to perform either all or part of a spine operation.
Thomas Nelson is a supervisor for a company that manufactures plastic liners for drums, a physically demanding position. When he learned that he had spondylolisthesis, he had to decide whether to undergo surgery or get injections.

Another source of information about this procedure is this
fact sheet from Medtronic Sofamor Danek. Your surgeon can explain more about whether lateral interbody fusion may be right for you. Please be sure to ask any questions you may have about this or any other aspect of your care.

New CD of the Week | The Spanish Masters
On sale this week!
The Spanish Masters shines a spotlight on famed Iberian composers Manuel de Falla, Isaac Albeniz and Enrique Granados. Although these gentlemen died more than sixty years ago, they were recorded anew in 2011 performing their own works at the piano, alongside cellist Zuill Bailey and soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian.
The original recordings of Albéniz were recorded in 1903 by Edison gramophone on wax cylinders; the original Granados cylinders originate from 1912. The new versions were created using technology developed by a North Carolina company called Zenph. It's engineers call the results "re-performances."
Cellist Zuill Bailey told NPR's Scott Simon that although there was an occasional bad note in de Falla's original recordings, that's OK. Bailey says, "Some of the greatest performances are not the ones that are note perfect. His playing is very human, very mortal, it is very imperfect. But to hear a composer play something that was inside of him is a huge asset, knowing that the composers brought out things that were not all about perfection, they were brought out by why they wrote the music.
To hear the full NPR interview with Bailey and Bayrakdarian, listen here.

great cookies. very simple to make and great texture. I followed the recepie and the only thing I would change next time is the amount of sugar. My boyfriend felt that they were too sweet (and he loves desert).flag if inappropriate
really Yummy!! But very sweet. Next time, less sugar!flag if inappropriate
These were amazing! I didn't have blanched almonds and just used regular ones. I upped the baking time a bit to 12 minutes because they didn't seem to be turning color (never really did), and I reduced sugar to 1/2 cup, though next time I'll probably only use 1/3 (very very sweet!). All in all, wonderful cookies with a wonderful texture, kind of a crispness to the outside and chewiness to the inside. Yum!flag if inappropriate
Make this one. I didn't blanch the almonds and didn't finish with the confectioners' sugar. No need to reduce the sugar like previous reviewers. My intention was to follow their lead but I accidentally put it all in. It was perfect. Of course it's sweet, it's a cookie! It makes sense to double the batch because it's so good and gets eaten quickly. I cooked mine a little longer because it wasn't getting golden. I don't think it needs to get golden to be "done" so follow the written cooking time. Otherwise your cookies will be a little firmer from overcooking.flag if inappropriate
Best. Cookies. Ever. Make this cookie! If you can get blanched or slivered almonds, this is falling-off-a-log easy, and so quick. Sadly, I couldn't get blanched almonds so I had to blanch my own, which were rather uncooperative. Three hours to do a cup of almonds, and about 10 minutes to do the rest of the prep work! But it was worth it, and I got rave reviews in spite of the stress.flag if inappropriate
I've been looking for a gluten-free cookie that's easy and tasty and this one was fabulous! It doesn't have any flour anyway, so it's naturally g-f. And the cookies are so sweet and tasty we ate the whole batch in about 15 minutes.flag if inappropriate
These were fantastic... I cooked them on greased parchment paper which made removing them from the cookie sheet incredibly easy. Also, just using almond meal is a good shortcut. Make them!flag if inappropriate
I followed the recipe exactly, and had some flat, tasty macaroons. The second time, I made these in mini-muffin cups and baked them for 15 minutes. AWESOME! So easy and so good. These are going to be a menu staple at my new tea room :)flag if inappropriate
These were great - nice and chewy. I followed the advice of one reviewer and turned the oven off after 7 mins and let them cool in the oven for another 6 mins. Also, I added the zest of 1/2 a lemon - that is key, I think. So Yummy!flag if inappropriate
these were easy, good for Passover and were yummy. I added 1/3 cup mini- chocolate chips.flag if inappropriate

Microsoft has already sold 40 million copies of Windows 8 and (probably) a record number of Surface tablets, but CEO Steve Ballmer wants the Redmond-based technology company to sell even more in the next months.
He says that it's crucial for Microsoft to sell the products that help it make more money, including Windows 8 computers, Windows phones and tablets.
"With 31 stores, we are driving ahead vigorously and we are there to sell, sell, sell! Help, help, help! And through help, sell more!" he said during the annual Microsoft shareholders meeting.
Although it's slowly migrating towards a devices and services company, Microsoft has to remain profitable, so it's willing to help consumers as much as possible. This helps it sell more products, Steve Ballmer explained.
"We have a bunch of people bringing in non-PCs that they didn't buy in our stores. Great, we will fix them, because we have people with great experience with Windows. People bring in non-Windows devices and we say great, we will help you fix them," Ballmer explained.
"But remember, we are right here, the next time the Windows device will be a greater solution for you. So it's not real complicated. It's about selling. We make a good profit on every device we sell."
According to sources familiar with the matter, Microsoft is planning to expand its store strategy in Europe too, as the company is planning to focus more on the hardware market and launch new devices in both the United States and on the Old Continent.
London appears to be the first city to get a Microsoft Store in 2013, as rumors are now suggesting that this expansion strategy could help the Redmond-based technology giant prepare for the launch of a smartphone device reportedly scheduled for early next year.

NHS "pay cut cartel" goes ahead after MP vote
Posted: November 07, 2012|
CONTROVERSIAL moves to cut pay of NHS staff in Gloucestershire have been backed by the Government.
The South West Pay Terms and Conditions Consortium, of 20 NHS Trusts including Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust and 2Gether NHS Foundation Trust, propose to impose longer working hours, cut salaries and leave.
It came in for a barrage of criticism at Westminster as Labour accused the Government of using the region as a "laboratory" for regional pay.
Former Labour Health Minister Ben Bradshaw said more than 88,000 NHS staff in the South West would be affected.
He said: "Based on the initial proposals, the trade unions, royal colleges and other organisations representing staff estimate that nurses and other NHS staff in the South West could face a 15 per cent pay cut, as well as changes to their holiday and other entitlements. The cartel has threatened to sack and re-employ staff to force through its plans.
"I have to tell the Minister that, in my more than 17 years in this place, I have never received as many letters and e-mails expressing such anger and dismay as I have on this issue."
Health minister Anna Soubry said: "I want to talk about the financial situation in the national health service.
"The South West consortium faces a stern choice. It can either continue to ignore the problem, and hope that it will go away, or it can face the challenge, share it with its staff and their representatives, and work in partnership to achieve the best outcome for everyone concerned, especially patients.
"I believe that the south-west consortium is taking a mature approach. It published two discussion documents in August, setting out the scale of the financial and service challenge that it faces. It has not made any decisions.
"It has included options affecting all staff, including doctors, so that every opportunity is considered, no stone is left unturned, and there are no sacred cows. I believe that that is a responsible approach."
A Labour amendment calling on the Government to block the regional pay move was defeated by 292 votes to 226.

Gulfstream introduces new supermidsize G250
According to the manufacturer, the Gulfstream G250 will offer the best performance in its class, with a range of 3400 nm at Mach 0.80. (center) Gulfstream PlaneView 250 flightdeck will feature three 15-inch adaptive LCD panels and 2 PlaneBook computer tablets. (bottom) Three cabin floorplans will accommodate up to 10 passengers. Cabin altitudes are low-7000 ft at FL 450 and 6000 ft at FL 410.
Gulfstream announced its newest entrant in the supermidsize market-the G250 -on Oct 5, during the NBAA convention in Orlando FL. According to the manufacturer, the G250 will have the longest range/ speed in its class-3400 nm at Mach 0.80-as well as the most spacious cabin in the supermidsize class.
Gulfstream launched the G250 program internally in 2005. Participants in the company's Advanced Technology Customer Advisory Team (ATCAT) played what Pres Joe Lombardo describes as a definitive role in designing the aircraft.
ATCAT requests included in-flight-accessible baggage and a balanced field length (BFL) of less than 5000 ft at MTOW (39,600 lb). Power for the G250 will come from 2 fuel-efficient high-thrust Honeywell HTF7250G turbofans, producing 7445 lb max takeoff thrust apiece (with auto power reserve) and permitting climb to initial cruise (FL 410) in less than 20 minutes.
The G250 will be certified to FL 450, and max cruise speed will be Mach 0.85. The G250 will have 140 sq ft of finished floor area-up to 35% more than its competitors-allowing for increased storage and a large lav with vacuum toilet system.
This gain in cabin space was achieved in part through elimination of the fuselage fuel tank. The 19-window cabin will seat 8-10 passengers in 3 floorplans, which Gulfstream is calling Executive, Universal and Hallmark. Cabin altitude will be 7000 ft at FL 450.
Among the G250's key features are a newly designed transonic wing optimized for improved takeoff performance and high-speed cruise. Overall wingspan is 63 ft 0 in-almost 5 ft greater than that of the G200. The G250 will have an all-new Gulfstream PlaneView 250 flightdeck, featuring Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics and three 15-inch LCD panels.
The cockpit will feature dual FMSs and dual cursor control devices. Two new standby multifunction controllers (SMCs), installed in the cockpit glareshield, will incorporate EFIS display control, standby instrument and remote information displays on a 5.3-in LCD.
Gulfstream SV-PFD, EVS II and Rockwell Collins HGS6250 HUD II will be optional. Autothrottles will be standard. Suppliers on the G250 include Spirit (wings), Moog (auto flight control system) and Meggitt (brakes).
Gulfstream notes that the G250 will be the only aircraft in its class with autobraking. Independent mechanical backup will be provided by a brake-by-wire system. Fixed price for the G250 is $24 million.
Gulfstream says that first flight is projected for the second half of 2009, with 3 aircraft involved in flight testing. Certification is expected in 2011, followed by first customer deliveries.
Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) will conduct G250 initial phase manufacturing in Tel Aviv. Final phase manufacture, interior outfitting and painting will be done at Gulfstream's DAL (Love, Dallas TX) midcabin aircraft completion facility. -Phil Rose
Adam Aircraft Industries Acquisition says it intends to deliver the first A700 in 2010. The new owners of the company were able to retain the existing 3 test aircraft allowing them to resume flight tests of the aircraft. According to CEO Jack Braly (L) another $200 million is needed to bring the airframe to production, most of which will come from Kaskol-a group of Russian investors. At the NBAA convention in Orlando FL, Braly said the company was prepared for some turbulence in the years ahead. Kaskol's wholly owned air taxi service, Dexter, plans on operating the aircraft throughout Russia. Company representatives were not shy about intentions of expanding operations into India and the Middle East as well.
Bombardier Learjet VP & General Mgr David Coleal delivers a Learjet 85 program update at the NBAA convention in Orlando FL. Following last month's announcement of Grob filing for insolvency with the German courts, Bombardier said it was moving Learjet 85 fuselage work to its facility in Queretaro, Mexico. Before Bombardier pulled its production agreement with Grob, the only thing the Swiss company had built was the fuselage for the Learjet 85 mockup. This was unveiled at the NBAA convention's static display at ORL (Exec, Orlando FL).
DayJet has announced the discontinuation of its operations as it has been unable to secure needed financing. The Part 135 air taxi service has parked 28 of its Eclipse 500s at Eclipse's GNV (Gainesville FL) service center-while keeping 1 aircraft operational for internal use. No one at the company could be reached for comment, but an FAA source says the air taxi operator informed the agency it was to park its jets on Sep 19. Eclipse has begun selling the DayJet fleet. In a release to its customers, the air taxi service says it may return to services but "it is unlikely at this time." Last June DayJet signed a 5-year contract with FAA to support NextGen work on the National Airspace System. In response to the loss, one FAA official said, "It is one partner, but one of many, so it doesn't affect things on our end at all." While DayJet was Eclipse's primary customer, the OEM maintains it still has "hundreds of orders to fill independent of DayJet... Existing customers will be happy and eager to move up in line."

Eclipse signed European Technology and Investment Research Center (ETIRC) to produce the Eclipse 500 at ULY (Ulyanovsk, Russia). On Sep 23, the partnership recieved Russian approval for factory construction. The Russian State Bank, Vneshekonomikbank, will fund the $205-million project. According to Eclipse, production at the facility could begin as early as 2010.
Embraer has received 2 orders for Phenom 100s from FlairJet-a new OXF (Oxford, England)-based charter operation. The charter operation plans to begin offering service in 2009 with OXF as the center of a hub-and-spoke model. Founder of the company, Monarch Airlines Airbus A320 Captain David Fletcher, is leading development of the company. He is receiving financial backing from a group of London-based lawyers. With the long-term goals of the charter operation in mind, there is also consideration of purchasing Phenom 300s and Legacy 500s from Embraer.

Blue Demons Win Second Straight
CHICAGO – The Wish Field success continued for the men's soccer team as they posted a 1-0 win over visiting Northern Illinois on Wednesday afternoon. Edwin Arreola scored the game-winner in the 87th minute to lift the Blue Demons to their second straight victory.
Both teams had opportunities throughout the match. Early on, Arreola's header glanced off the crossbar while Northern Illinois (1-7-2) forced DePaul keeper Jeff Klitzke to make four second-half saves. The Blue Demons took a season-high 10 corner kicks, but failed to come up with any goals.
With just under four minutes remaining in the second half, Luke Rojo found Arreola just inside the box on the right side. The sophomore lined up a left-footed shot and sent it past a diving Matt Corcoran for the game-winner at 86:35. For Arreola, it was his second goal of the season coming off of Rojo's second assist of the year.
In the match, DePaul (3-6-0) outshot the visitors, 11-7. The Blue Demons took five corner kicks in each half while Northern Illinois had a single opportunity. DePaul has now won eight of their last 10 matches at Wish Field, including two consecutive shutouts. The win is also the second straight for the Blue Demons over the Huskies. A year ago, Rojo knocked in the only goal of the match in overtime for the DePaul victory.
The Blue Demons return to Conference USA action this weekend as the Louisville Cardinals come to Chicago. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Saturday is the Parents/Alumni Day as an Alumni game will take place at 10 a.m. and is followed by a luncheon at 11:30 a.m.

Research Interests
A principal focus of our group is to understand the mechanism of DNA repair by the light-driven enzyme, DNA photolyase. DNA is often damaged by UV radiation that is not otherwise absorbed by the ozone layer. Photolyase is a FAD-containing (flavo)protein that uses light to drive an ultrafast electron transfer reaction between the protein and the bound DNA lesion. The transferred electron repairs the damaged DNA by an unknown mechanism. We are using ultrafast laser and biochemical techniques to unravel this mechanism. We also explore the details of substrate binding using state of the art fluorescence reporter and two photon excitation techniques.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Some partnerships, like romances, just aren't meant to be.
That was essentially the message several industry observers conveyed on Tuesday when asked whether it would make sense for Nokia Corp. NOK, -1.59% the world's largest mobile-phone maker, to acquire struggling smart-phone and handheld organizer pioneer Palm, Inc. PALM, -9.26%
"We do not believe that Palm holds any significant attraction for Nokia and see no reason why Nokia would want to acquire it," said Richard Windsor, a London-based analyst with Nomura International.
'I don't know if what they represent today would fit Nokia's mindset.'
Carolina Milanesi, a principal analyst in Gartner's mobile-devices team, was even blunter.
"This doesn't make any sense," she said, stressing that buying Palm would be a huge strategic about-face for Nokia, which uses the Symbian operating system in its enterprise devices as opposed to the Palm and Windows Mobile platforms used by the U.S. company.
Speculation that Nokia may be mulling a Palm purchase flared on Monday following a report in the Wall Street Journal that the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company has hired Morgan Stanley to advise it on its strategic options. See full story.
There's no doubt that Palm is at a crossroads.
Not only does it face increased competition from experienced phone maker such as Motorola, Inc. MSI, -0.56% and Nokia in the enterprise segment, it will also soon have to fend off new entrants to the smart-phone market including Apple, Inc. AAPL, +0.17% with the iPhone and Dell, Inc DELL
Smart phones combine the features of a cell phone, personal organizer, as well as Internet access and e-mail in one handheld device.
Nokia, Motorola and BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd RIMM all recently unleashed sharp-looking new handsets that have blunted Palm's historic edge in device design and forced it to slash prices.
In its most recent quarter, Palm reported a 12% drop in revenue and warned of weaker sales to come.
Still, its devices have significant traction in the U.S. According to research from NDP Group, the top five sellers in the U.S. smart-phone market in the August through October were Motorola's Q followed by Palm's Treo 650, Verizon Wireless' XV6700, Palm's Treo 700p and the BlackBerry 8700.
However, that listing illustrates what analysts say is another Palm weakness: its over-reliance on a single model, the Treo, which accounts for over 60% of its revenue.
"While there are three versions of the Treo and it operates on cellular standards, the product line is in many ways a single offering," Casey Ryan, an analyst with Nollenberger Capital Partners, told clients in a recent note.

Many love the sensation of a warm bath before getting into bed with good comfortable sheets. It is the perfect way to let the world melt away.
People around the world have long recognized that salt water has medicinal purposes. In fact, Hippocrates, the famous Greek doctor, encouraged patients to immerse themselves in salt water for some ailments. Today, modern medicine recognizes this as a viable solution for some medical problems. Bee stings and bug bites feel much better when you immerse the area in salt water. The same goes for those exposed to poison ivy or poison oak. It also helps a person relax in a bath. It also works to remove dead skin cells. That is why bath salts are still popular after 2000 plus years of use.
Bath salts are a great way to relax naturally. The salts in the water help the muscles relax while the infused fragrances help the mind relax. Soaking for a few minutes in a warm bath will make a world of difference on a stressful day. When you come home and need a break, a bath will give you those minutes of peace you need to release the stresses of the day. You can bring down the lights or light some candles to give your eyes a break. Music is another way to bring the relaxing feeling.
When you are ready to give yourself a break, bath salts are an affordable luxury. You can take a small handful and make the world go away in a warm bath. You can let the worries float away and put the world on hold for those few precious minutes to let your muscles relax. When you get out of the bath, you will find that you have a refreshed outlook and can handle things a bit better. Use your time wisely and try our bath salts. You will find that these are the best complements to your luxurious bedroom from Bed Linens Etc. Luxury begins with a warm bath.

Handling licenses and Excluded group in PGP Universal Server
I have PGP Universal server with PGP desktop 10.2.1. I am trying to figure out the best way to move users to the "Excluded" group as they leave the company and are deleted from AD. I am not an AD expert or even generalist. Anyone have the best ideas for handling this. I have tried a variety of "! memberOf" filters, but it does not seem to work. Maybe I have the wrong criteria or wrong something. Anyone done this (I assume many have) and what worked for you.
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
You're trying to do the matching consumers? So memberOf on the attribute, then the DN of the OU they're in, and make sure regular expression is ticked - that should work. Unless you're trying to add more criteria in there?
Please mark posts as solutions if they solve your problem!
I am trying to determine when someone has left AD and then add them into the Excluded group. In other words, they are part of the excluded group only when they are non longer listed in Active Directory or at least not part of a larger all employee OU. I would prefer if no longer part of AD if possible.
so you're trying to do NOT a memberOf using the !
There should be no space between the ! and the memberOf so !memberOf etc etc
Please mark posts as solutions if they solve your problem!

Indigo for Mac User Reviews
out of 18 user reviews
"Simple, powerful, perfect"
Version: Indigo 6.0.7
simple to set up
powerful extensibility
a joy to use
Boredom. I'm so used to de-bugging my home automation systems. Indigo has not required this type of maintenance. So I don't know what to do with my spare time.
I'm a previous long-time user of Homeseer and Micasaverde Vera. I wanted something more reliable (than vera) and simpler (than homeseer) yet powerful and expandable. I stumbled upon Indigo and have not looked back.
I run Indigo 6 Pro on a dedicated Mac Mini which runs silently in a closet with a z-wave adapter. It controls my thermostat, Sonos music system, alarm system, and several lights and appliances. It has never crashed or failed to do what it is supposed to do.
Amazing software.
"The best just got better with Z-Wave added"
Version: Indigo 6.0.7
Indigo is now up to version 6 having had constant development with Z-wave and Python now added.
This software has always been rock solid only let down by some of the hardware such as X10, now we have Z-wave we have great hardware and software.
The support from the guys at Perceptive Automation is second to none and they are always there to help on the forum.
If you are into home automation then look no further.
None that I can thing of
"Wish it lived up to its claims"
Version: Indigo 6.0b1
Control everything from your imac, iphone, or ipad
It doesn't do what it claims
I've been trying to make the Indigo and Insteon system work since 2006. Every one of my Insteon devides has failed at least once, and some are on their 4th failure. For each failure, you have to delete the failed device and all the links that are created in each and every other Insteon device, which can get amazingly tedious with more than a couple devices.
When you delete a device in Indigo, you get a popup message that this will delete all links associated with the device as well. Not true. All the links stay there and now become non-editable "unknown devices" that interfere with proper operation. Then, the only way to remove those links is to do a factory reset of each and every Insteon device that includes those links.
And just in case this isn't enough to discourage you from using this technology, I bought a new lamp dimmer to replace yet another failed one, and got the error message that I now have to pay to upgrade my version of Indigo. After doing so, I then got another error message that I had to upgrade my hardware as well, so it's still not working.
This software and hardware remains bug-ridden and sloppy and extremely time-consuming. Really tired of giving you people the benefit of the doubt, because you just don't live up to any of the claims you make for ease of use or functionality. Watch your back, because your competitors will quickly trample you in this day and age.

"Best software on Mac for home automation."
Version: Indigo 5.0.1
Good user interface and the functionality is very customizable via AppleScript/Python. As one example, I use AppleScript to query my weather station for temperature and rainfall, then make adjustments to the amount I water the lawn.
Customer support from Perceptive Automation is also very good.
The Pro version is a bit expensive.
"Very Impressive"
Version: Indigo 4.1.2
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have used this since the beta days. It is very cool & rock solid. The Indigo iPhone app is also a must.
"Works Great, Wonderful Support"
Version: Indigo 3.0
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Ive used this for two years with all my insteon switches at home. Version progress is slow and steady (as anything that is done by a small or one man team is)
The developer answers almost all posts on his forums (and there are a lot) and it very helpful.

"Too much money"

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have to agree with the other posts here about the cost. I was waiting for 2.0 to become available to pay the $90 (reluctantly). $200 is way out of the range I would be willing to pay for a product like this.
I guess this could be a positive if it encourages others to develope applications with similar functionality.
Has anyone had success with thier intel macs running the FREE windows software that comes with thier controllers with Parallels?
"WaY OverPRICED for Most People"
Version: Indigo 2.0.0
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Most people just want to turn the lights on and off. If you make the program look jazzy that's fine. The most successful small software programmers/sellers keep the price affordable so when most hard working people see the price they say, "I can afford that", I will paypal or whatever. Graphic Converter is one of the best programs and success stories and he did it by selling volume. If you sold this program for 30.00 you would get 100s of new customers right away. You will never build up a customer base with the price at 89.95, and now you want to charge 200.00? I would pay 30.00 for the program and IM sure many other people feel the same way. Graphic Converter has made the big money because when people see the price they buy it right away. Not the case here...
