Cape elementary students deserve better
On April 2, residents of the Cape Henlopen School District will be asked to vote on whether to raise their taxes to build an additional elementary school and additional classrooms. After reviewing all of the information presented by school district officials, I am urging my fellow residents to vote yes!
The need for an additional elementary school and additional classroom space is obvious. We have seen a 12 percent growth in the number of students attending our schools in the last five years. Our kids are being taught in modular buildings and spare space (former locker rooms, storage space, etc.). This is not conducive to teaching or learning.
The cost of building the new school and classrooms to those of us who are taxpayers is actually minimal - $5 more a month on our property tax bills. Is this really too much to spend to ensure that our kids attend schools that are not overcrowded? I don't believe so. Let's not turn our backs on our kids as we did five years ago when we failed to pass the technology referendum. Join me in supporting the referendum April 2. Our kids and grandkids will thank you.

The deal is aligned with the growing Brazilian poultry exportation to the region, a statement from the company said.
Brazilian poultry production reached 13 million tonnes in 2011, an almost 6.9% increase from 2010. Exportation is expected to total 3.937 million tons according to Brazilian Poultry Union (UBABEF).
"The Middle East region is a focal exportation and trading hub for Brazil. We are confident in the prospects for the upcoming year and will continue to support our business partners by supplying top quality halal and non-halal chicken products at competitive prices," a spokesperson for BrazArtis Assessoria em Comercio Exterior said.
Brazil's exports span across the whole GCC region including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria and Oman.

GOP Proposal "Sure To Go Nowhere" In The Senate
The market ramped, modestly, on the earlier news that the House would push the debt ceiling by three months with an implied budget/spending cut provision. That the market actually moved on this headline shows front and center just how clueless the algos doing all the trading truly are, because one doesn't need Politico to tell them that this proposal is absolutely DOA and is nothing but more theater. However, those who do need Politico to tell them just that, here it is.
House Republicans will vote next week on a bill that would raise the nation's debt ceiling for three months and attach a provision that would stop pay for members of Congress if the Senate doesn't pass a budget, GOP officials said Friday.
It's an attempt to force the Senate to lay out a spending plan, but is sure to go nowhere in the Democratic controlled upper chamber.
This is not a final solution to the debt ceiling battle, or anything close. Lifting the nation's borrowing cap, which must be done by the end of February or March, will be a lengthy battle between House Republicans, Senate Democrats and the White House.
This strategy — trying to shift blame to the Senate — is a tried and true House GOP tactic. And it also falls in line with a new mantra leadership has been trying to instill in its membership: we do not control Washington, and cannot force the president's hand.
If anything, the tactic would put front and center the Democratic Senate's resistance to lay out its spending priorities. They haven't passed a budget in three years.
Back to square one.

Fitch? Moody's? Egan? Hello?
is this thing on?
There is only one logical outcome from this piece of news. Buy Buy Buy...
Sell VXX
Buy every stock you can find on ARCA, NSDQ, BATS, EDGX, CDRG, NITE, etc...
On another, more important topic: I hope all of you plan to attend the 2nd Amendment rally at your local State Capitol tomorrow.
See ~ if we were in ITALY, those 'chambers' would be reversed... But we're not, so the Senate still gets the UPPER chamber... It gets confusing sometimes...
Damn straight Trav, it's their fucking job to manage their country, including a budget, that job hasn't been done in years. We should be clawing back pay for Christ's sake.
The budget resolution is mostly a worthless piece of legislation since any bill of any importance that comes up later in the year waives all of the enforcement provisions in the budget anyway.
I agree that we'd be better off with one, since if nothing else it shows how screwed we really are, but let's not pretend that it really matters.
In order to actually get a real result (in any field), you actually have to do something.
I'd argue that inaction in DC, is getting a real result. It's just that I (I assume, we) don't like that result.
The economic system HAS TO crash in the future--it doesn't really matter whether the Feds cut spending, raise spending, or leave it the same. There's insufficient productive capacity for additional credit-expansion, and after several decades of profit growth through leverage, everyone's forgotten how to build productive infrastructure.
Things have to get hecka worse before it's going to get any better. First step is imploding the debt record, one way or the other.
Sounds like an opprotunity to turn off EBT cards, what could go wrong?
They need to downgrade the US but they won't. This game is getting old and everybody knows that the US is afraid of austerity.
Worthless postering by both parties - suprised that congressional approval rating is 20% - should be below 10% and approaching 0%
It is, but the current ratings are produced by the BLS with help from the realtors.
The only leverage for spending cuts they have is default and shutting down the government.
Good luck with that.
See my post below.
Having BALLS would be to force completion of a "more" balanced budget now, with built-in decreases going forward into future years.
At least this clown show is funny! Normally it's just boring business as usual with un-funny clowns.
Marketwatch putting up a clock as we speak
How does one return to "square one" in a circle jerk, anyway?
Square one is in the middle; trust me, you don't want to go there.
Of course it will go nowhere. Obama/Democrats/some Republicans WANT TO SPEND, SPEND, SP END and BORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They DON''T WANT TO STOP!!!!!
What is the all time low on the vix like 9? I think we can hit that by February.
First item, the Continuing Resolution that authorizing spending expires end of March. That's the real deadline.
The CR exists because there is no budget. The one thing that the GOP did right in Aug 2011 was get 1.0 T cuts up front, spaced over 10 yrs, plus the Sequester. Those up front cuts DID reduce the baseline and that's why the Senate can't do a budget, because they would have to start from that lower baseline. Worse, that upfront 1T was backloaded, to shield the 2012 election. Only 4B of that 1T was in 2012. 2013 is much steeper. That's already in law. There's no escaping it without a new budget that shows huge spending INCREASES, the optics on which won't work.
This little chunk of fiscal drag is talked about by no one else. But it's real and it's big. It's 100+B of GDP drag not being talked about -- the first half of the Aug 2011 spending cut deal. The Sequester was additional to those cuts.
I'm confused.
"2013 is much steeper. That's already in law. " How Real is a law that gets deferred by the Senate? What stops them from doing it again?
Because Ryan had it right. This defines a lower baseline. Any new CR is based on this.
It will be lower inflation-adjusted dollar totals than existed in 2012. It's a true drag on GDP, which is all that matters.
At least the TSA is getting rid of those body scanners. They should be returned to Cherkoffs company for full credit, it was his idea.
So our basis for whether something is worked on in the House is whether it will pass the Senate?
How about someone that stands while they pee (boy, girl, no matter) in the House to tell everyone to deal with what comes out of the House, otherwise:
All talk of spending cuts, sequesters, debt ceilings, and fiscal cliffs is a waste of time. There will never be any net reduction in government spending, ever, until after the final collapse. There is simply no mechanism by which government spending can be reduced, and therefore it will not be. There will be much talk, but no action. Of course the debt ceiling will be raised. I can think of no ponzi scheme in history in which the beneficiaries voluntarily decided to come clean, shut it down, return the money to the investors, and go find honest employment. Why would this scheme be any different? It will continue until collapse. That is all you need to recognize, and plan accordingly.
You don't understand the specifics. Gov't spending cannot be reduced because it should not be reduced, because POPULATION GROWS.
You can't have 2013 spending that looks like 1913 spending because there are 200 million more people to serve. This is the justification right wing people have trouble with mathematically when they call for spending cuts.
Spending has to reduce its rate of increase to that of population, and maybe that of GDP. After all, a Defense Dept must defend not just people, but also property and wealth. This is the justification that left wing folks can't understand when they see US military spending so much more than other countries. We have far more wealth to defend.
And so, yes, there can be cuts. There will be cuts. They won't be as severe as the right wants and will be far more severe than the left wants.
Since I don't have any wealth in Pakistan, Israel, Syria, Afghanistan, Turkey........ they can start saving money right there...........
Flawed analysis for several reasons, but I will respond to just a few items.
First, total government spending as a percent of GDP was 10% in 1913. Today it is over 40%. Government spending increases at a far greater rate than population or GDP because every year the government intrudes into more and more areas of the economy. It also actively perpetuates itself, sucking in ever more resources to grow and defend itself, while of course providing ever-fewer genuine "services" to those that are forced to pay for it.
Second, I said "net reduction in spending" not "cuts". Of course there will be cuts. They will cut spending on the one or two things that actually serve the citizens in some meaningful way (highways, for instance) while increasing spending on things like bureacracy, bailouts, welfare, government employee pay, healthcare and pensions, etc. But there will be no net reduction in spending (until the collapse) because there is no mechanism by which this can happen.
Third, even if government spending levelled-off, we would still be headed for collapse. We are eating our seed corn at this point, and have been for some time. One of the perils of wealth is that you end up getting fat, lazy, complacent. We cannot reduce government size and spending quickly enough at this point to have sufficient seed corn leftover to re-plant the fields and enjoy another good harvest.
Crash - your 1st paragraph is flawed....
"You don't understand the specifics. Gov't spending cannot be reduced because it should not be reduced, because POPULATION GROWS."
What you are really saying is "Govf't DEFICITS cannot be reduced" because population grows".
Which obviously shows that the efficiency of the Fed Gov't is the root of the problem.
Hey! They stole my idea to stop paying those assholes!
Nowhere... uhm... ok.
That's somewhere near Nevereverland, isn't it?
Btw: Lena Zavaroni sings Going Nowhere, 1981!! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8sewohu2qI
And (part II): Lena Zavaroni Sings "Mama" on Tonight Show - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J09IeN-ONbk
These songs will probably make you very happy!
So... listen to them - all day long.
4FREE! Indeed.
And... the best part is... you don't have to thank me! @all.
How's that?
But always remember: Walk-ON.
Yes, that's right: LeftRightLeftRight!
I think there is enough money involved to install a proper cage fighting ring here.
The no pay without a budget is a great motivation and extremely amusing idea, not to mention it will be very popular. Nice strategy GOP. At least we can get some amusement for our tax dollars. Ball in your court, Reid.
ya know I realize that the 3/27 deadline is the new, new, new line in the sand. But these lines get blurred by Rs and the H of Rep roll overs. I am a bit surprised that Rep Ryan is even contemplating this move of allowing a debt ceiling lift for even 2 days let alone 90. When will the jellyfish get a backbone.....if one looks to the fossil record you will see it took near 50 million years. So fellow tea party and libertarians...don't hold your breath.
It's another Greek deal.

These sexy girls may look like angelic babes that you see in high schools or something like that, but they are much more hardcore once you get them out of their clothes and get them horny enough. Evil Angel videos show some of the sexiest girls go all out in messy hardcore fuck videos, from one on one scenes to group sex scenes with double penetration. Red lipstick, high heels, latex outfits and black lacy lingerie, these girls try it all out just for the fun. While the site advertises full HD quality videos, the quality is actually top SD, not HD, but it's a minor setback considering how there are almost thousand of DVDs and almost 10.000 scenes available, showing sexy girls doing kinky things. Evil Angel password is a definite keeper, I know I'll be keeping my reviewer's pass and you should get a hold of a pass too, it's well worth it.

Google+ for iOS update adds photo editing, enhancement options
Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) released an updated version of its Google+ social networking application for Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS, introducing a series of photo features bringing the app in line with its Android counterpart.
Highlights of Google+ for iOS version 4.4.0 include Auto Enhance, which automatically makes subtle image improvements, and Auto Highlight, which curates a collection of shots optimized for sharing as a separate album. Users may also share short animations, panoramas and other formats.
The revamped Google+ for iOS also touts new hashtag features designed to improve content discovery, interactive Google Offer posts in the user's content stream, expanded controls over how often What's Hot posts appear in streams and new editing options for profile fields and comments.
Google+ launched in mid-2011. The platform rivals Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) by giving users the flexibility to selectively share materials with friends and family sorted into circles. Google+ now ranks as the second-largest social platform worldwide with more than 500 million users but still trails far behind Facebook, which tops 1.1 billion monthly users across the globe, including 751 million mobile monthly active users.
Earlier this month, Google spun off Google+'s Hangouts video chatting service as a standalone Hangouts app also supporting text and image conversations. Hangouts--available for Android, iOS and the mobile Web--signals Google's response to the growing popularity of over-the-top messaging apps like WhatsApp, Viber and BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) Messenger.

The Big Salty Team
We are passionate about being on the water as much as possible. We find the best way to do that is to have something to do for all conditions. Waves, wind, rain or shine.
We are proud to have some really talented people representing us. Heck, we're not shy to admit they've got a thing or two to teach us when they hit the water.
Ladies, and gentlemen, may I present to you, the Bigsalty team.... thankyou!
Jamie Hancock
Jamie is at the top of the UK windurfing tour and his style has made an impression beyond. His goal is to move from the UK competitions which he is current national champion to the wider world of PWA competition. We fancy his chances in doing extremely well on the international scene. He's got the drive and unquestionable ability.
He's already showing he knows what to do with it.
Andy King
Andy is a wild man. And although the responsibility of a family has calmed him slightly off the water; it certainly hasn't done a thing to ebb his manic tendencies on it.
Andy has inspired many windsurfers over the years with his radical ways and agressive style in the air and on the waves. He's in to it whether it's windsurfing, surfing or kitesurfing - the best of every situation.
James Cox
He's an active competitor in the UK's national windsurfing competitions and watching the weather for every opportunity to get wet. That may be windsurfing, surfing or if the water conditions are right, hunting for dinner.
He's hungry.
Connor Baindridge
Connor is an Rs:X master at a young age and looks set to go very far. Having recently achieved a 2nd place at the RYA Volvo National Championships we think this statement is justified. If the wind is strong he's at his best. If the wind is light, he's at his best. See what we're dealing with here?
He's dedicated and able, he's part of the team.
Jem Hall
Jem Hall is possibly the UK and world's most notorious windsurfing coach. He has taught the best of the best and knows how to make himself known. That is, if Jem is on the water at the same time as you - be ready.
He's a personality, coach and marketing machine. He lives by the mantra: focus, believe and enjoy. You can't argue with that can you?
Ewan Byers
Ewan is a man on a mission in the sailing world. With experience racing Mirror dingies and being a part of both regional and national squads, he has now moved focus on to racing the RS200 and is actively competing around the UK with team member Phil Benn.
Still a young gun, Ewan has plenty to prove and we think he's going to go far.
Phil Benn
Like Ewan, Phil is a man with a healthy interest in competing and pushing the limits. As a team, Phil and Ewan are fresh and ready for their busy schedule of competitions. Keep your eyes on these guys.
Want to be a Big Salty team rider? We are looking for a surfer and kitesurfer at the moment, who's down for the team. Let us know.
What the masses say
When I'm back from the PWA tour, there is nothing I like more than searching out the sickest forecast for a road trip with friends.
Big Salty has got those plans covered.
Bigsalty - Big ForecastsWe have the data that you need to make an informed choice of where to hit the water. Our aim is to get you to better conditions more often - not because we're nice guys, but because we want the same.
Here's some of what we offer:

I won (in my class)
a 3/4 20 lap crit in Troy Ohio. Really hot, really fun course. They paid out top 14, and in addition, a nice Festina watch for both top cat 3 and cat 4 racers.
Last 10 laps, I started feeling the heat. last 4 laps, I started getting chills. I was about to call it, but I still felt pretty strong. I hung in there, and last lap, moved from the back of the back towards the front. I put it all out there for the last K and threw in 110% in the sprint. I ended up finishing 10th overall and 1st of the cat 4's. First w in the 4's. I got a pretty sweet watch that I am probably going to Ebay. Race 2 tomorrow. We will see how I do.
I lost my wallet on the way out to the race, so this kinda makes up for it.

Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
Hello and welcome.
My name is XXXXX XXXXX my goal is to provide you with excellent service today. I am working on your answer now and will post it here shortly. Thank you for your patience while I prepare your answer.
Hello again, Elisabeth.Congratulations on the job offer. I hope it is something you will enjoy.As for your QUESTION: Is there an actual legal difference having those words (no reason or cause) written out in this contract? ANSWER: No, the employment at will doctrine typically provides that either an employer or employee may terminate the relationship without good cause or for no reason at all. That is generally how it is defined and the additional language included in this contract does appear to be for clarification purposes only. There is really no difference from a legal perspective with or without this additional language since indicating that the employment is "at will" generally indicates that the relationship may be terminated without good cause or for no reason at all.Here is a link which provides more information on the employment at will doctrine:http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/employment-at-will-definition-30022.html
I hope this helps clarify the situation for you. Please remember to rate my service once you have all the information you need. If you have any other questions, please ask me – I'll be happy to respond. Thank you!

I recently returned from teaching English in South Korea and on the trip somehow lost the paddle shifters for my g27. I would rather not buy them from a third party or make them myself, so I thought I would ask here about getting replacements. I am talking about the metal paddle shifters, not the H-shifter. Everything else is in perfect working order but racing in F1 feels a bit silly using the H-shifter as opposed to paddles. I love this wheel and hope it sticks with me for a few more years. Thanks for the time and for a great product.
Hi bobblesXD,
Unfortunately, the Logitech G27 does not have replacement paddle shifters available for sale. I'm not sure if your G27 will qualify for warranty support but I suggest you contact the Logitech Support Team of your region for further assistance with the case. They might have other options available for you.

Clutch Birdie Sends Lee Bedford To NCAA Championship
Final Results
Follow Wake Forest Golf on Twitter
May 21, 2011
ZIONSVILLE, Ind. - Wake Forest junior Lee Bedford made a clutch birdie at the final hole of the NCAA Central Regional to secure the individual qualifying spot and earn a berth to the NCAA Championship. Bedford's round of 2-under 69 led the Demon Deacons who finished with a final round 290 and tied for eighth.
"We finished with a couple of solid rounds but we put ourselves in too big of a hole after the first day," said Wake Forest head coach Jerry Haas. "Lee (Bedford) made a good birdie to get him through and I thought Evan Beck also had a very good week. We'll hopefully be able to learn from this week and draw on those experiences next year."
Bedford made eight pars and a birdie to make the turn at 1-under par. He fell back to even with a bogey at No. 1 but quickly got it back with a birdie at the par-5 third. Another birdie at No. 5 got him to 2-under but a bogey at No. 7 dropped him one shot behind David Chung of Stanford. Both players parred their 17th holes, Bedford No. 8 and Chung No. 17, and then Bedford birdied the ninth to slip past Chung who bogied the 18th.
Bedford finished the tournament at 1-under par 212. It was his eighth tournament this season in which he finished the 54-holes under-par. Bedford is the first Demon Deacon to qualify as an individual for the NCAA Championship since Bill Haas in 2004.
Evan Beck made three birdies and a double-bogey in his round of 1-under 70 on Saturday. The Virginia Beach, Va., native finished a solid week with a total of 13 birdies and was 1-over par. He finished the tournament tied for 14th.
Sophomore Charlie Harrison followed a pair of 77s to open the tournament with a 4-over 75 on Saturday, that included three birdies. He finished the tournament at 16-over par and tied for 57th.
Freshman John Varol finished the week with a 76 while senior Kris Keiser posted his best round of the weekend with a 77.
Michigan fired a final round 275 to come back and win the event by two shots over Illinois. The Wolverines were 11-under par for the week while Illinois finished at 9-under. Alabama was third at 5-under par and Tennessee and Iowa snagged the final two spots as both tied for fourth at 13-over.
Illinois' Luke Guthrie and Michigan's Lion Kim shared medalist honors. Both players finished at 8-under par, two shots ahead of Alabama's Bud Cauley.
Bedford will open the NCAA Championship, which is being played at Karsten Creek in Stillwater, Okla., on Tuesday, May 31. An individual champion will be crowned at the end of 54-holes on Thursday, June 2.

Oh no, you didn't make it through the zombie apocalypse. You were bitten and now it's your turn to be the undead. You can either be a regular old zombie, or you can be one of our exciting themed zombies.
Maybe you are one of the dead monkeys that started with the zombie virus and spread it all over the world. Maybe you were sailing your pirate ship and some how a zombie mermaid jumped on and bit you. Now you're on a quest to eat the brains of all your crew members. There are plenty of zombie costumes for boys to choose from us. Let your imagination run wild, becoming any kind of flesh eater you want.
Practice your moaning and groaning, because this Halloween you're going to be the best zombie out there. Roam your town in search of that delicious combination of candy and human body parts. Reeses and brains go together so well. You can't fight the hunger. This is what you are now, a terrifying zombie.

Competitive Enterprise Institute energy policy expert William Yeatman explains,
The EPA's rationale for revoking the Clean Water Act permit for the Spruce Fork Mine is to protect an insect that lives for a day, and which isn't even an endangered species.
In this difficult economy, it is outrageous that the EPA would trade jobs for bugs, just so it can appease the President's environmental base.
In December 2008, EnvironmentalLeader.com reported that approximately 10 percent of President Obama's stimulus plan included "green initiatives," much to the delight of Obama's environmental base:
The stimulus plan would spend about a half-trillion dollars over two years on tax-rebate and an array of green projects, such as building renewable energy plants and installing smart meters that allow consumers to reap benefits from using electricity at off-peak hours.
Unfortunately, most green initiatives have proven to fail, both environmentally and socially, such as the ethanol tax subsidies.
Likewise, Spain's experiences with the creation of "green jobs" shows that for every "green job" created, two jobs are lost.
Yet that has not stopped Obama or the Environmental Protect Agency from pursuing jobs-killing green efforts.
CEI's energy policy expert William Yeatman continues,
Worse still, the EPA's ill-conceived bug protections threaten virtually all economic development. In order to crack down on the Spruce Fork Mine, the EPA had to manufacture a new "pollutant"-salinity. The problem is that any surface disturbance can increase salinity in nearby streams. As a result, environmental pressure groups and NIMBY [Not In My Back Yard] activists have a powerful new weapon with which they can stifle job creation.
It's not as if environmental groups needed a new weapon to stifle job creation. In December, the National Center for Policy Analysis reported that the EPA "is moving blindly ahead with new regulations that will increase dramatically the energy costs of U.S. industries, reducing their competitiveness and profitability and making it less likely they will hire."
A study conducted by the Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI indicates that the new regulations will destroy an estimated 7.3 million jobs nationwide while simultaneously adding $1 trillion annually in new regulatory costs beginning in the year 2020.
According to Myron Ebell, director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Center for Energy and Environment,
EPA's revocation of an already-granted permit for an operating mine is only the latest outrageous step in the Obama administration's campaign to scare away investment and destroy jobs in America's energy industries. Who is going to invest in a new energy product if a permit can be yanked after the project is fully permitted and the investments have been made?

Where next for the EHRC?
Tuesday 28 July 2009
Mencap concerned by resignations of commissioners
Concerns have been raised over the future of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), the government's equality watchdog, after the resignations of several commissioners.
So far, six board members have quit the EHRC, including Sir Bert Massie (pictured), the former chair of the Disability Rights Commission, and disability campaigner Baroness Campbell. Some of those who resigned in the last few weeks have called for the resignation of its chair, Sir Trevor Phillips, who was reappointed on 15 July.
The new commission began work in October 2007, having taken on the work of the Commission for Racial Equality, the Disability Rights Commission and the Equal Opportunities Commission.
This month, the National Audit Office announced that it had not fully signed off the EHRC's accounts, as it had re-employed senior staff from the former Commission for Racial Equality soon after they received redundancy payments, without permission from the Treasury.
Lord Rix, Mencap's president, commented on the debate yesterday on the BBC Radio Four programme 'World at One', giving his personal opinion on the situation.
And Mark Goldring, chief executive of Mencap, said: "Whilst we were supportive of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission when it was established in 2007 there has been growing concern amongst the disability community that disability has slipped down the agenda in light of the Commission's wider remit.
"We are concerned to see the loss of so many well thought of disability commissioners. The EHRC must have strong leadership if it is to achieve its goal of creating a fairer Britain."

Bluetooth technology is the global wireless standard enabling the Internet of Things (IoT).
Created in 1994, Bluetooth® technology was conceived as a wireless alternative to data cables by exchanging data using radio transmissions. The name Bluetooth came from a tenth century Danish King, Harald Blåtand or, in English, Harold Bluetooth. As the story goes, King Blåtand helped unite warring factions in parts of what are now Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Similarly, Bluetooth technology was created as an open standard to allow connectivity and collaboration between disparate products and industries.
One of the most popular applications for Bluetooth historically has been wireless audio—headsets and hands-free connectivity in cars to wireless speakers and headphones that stream music from your phone or tablet. This uses a version of Bluetooth called BR/EDR (bit rate/enhanced data rate) that is optimized for sending a steady stream of high quality data (i.e. music) in a power efficient way.
With the advent of Bluetooth with its low energy functionality (Bluetooth Smart or BLE), developers are now able to create small sensors that run off tiny coin-cell batteries for months, and in some cases, years. Many of these Bluetooth sensors use so little energy that developers are starting to find ways to use scavenged energy, like solar and kinetic, to power them—a potentially unlimited life from a power perspective. This allows you to find Bluetooth technology in billions of devices today, everything from phones to headsets to basketballs and socks—the use cases are limited only by a developer's imagination.
BR/EDR and Bluetooth with low energy are fundamentally different. Bluetooth with the low energy functionality is built on an entirely new development framework using Generic Attributes, or GATT. GATT is extremely flexible from a developer's perspective and can be used for just about any scenario. As a result, Bluetooth not only connects devices together in an ultra-power efficient way, but also directly connects devices to applications on your smartphone, PC or tablet. It's the low energy and GATT features which are at the heart of the current IoT boom. They are also at the heart of Bluetooth, making it the perfect fit for the IoT.
Bluetooth technology is built upon a core specification and layered with different services. For more information on the technology and specification, go here. The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is the caretaker and creator of the core specification and services. Our Working Groups ensure the specification and services work to the highest interoperability standards so consumers can know, with confidence, their Bluetooth products simply work.

There was a time when buying comics was the preserve of children but apparently not so these days. Akira Comics in Madrid, one of Spain's long established shops selling comics and cartoon books, has been awarded the 'Best Comic Shop in the World' accolade by the Eisner Comic Convention in the United States which highlights the outstanding job Akira has done in supporting the comic art medium as well as the local community.
In Spain reading a good comic can melt away the blues
In Spain it isn't considered weird or 'nerdy' for an adult to hang out in a comic shop. In truth I'd never entered one of these establishments until my son, aged nine at the time, begged me to take him to Norma, our island's famed comic shop in Palma. It seemed that all of his Spanish friends were busy swapping superhero material at school and he felt left out. Norma became his shrine for a few years and I learnt to appreciate it too. For one thing although the stories included a lot of Spanish slang and colloquialisms, they nevertheless greatly improved his learning skills in the language and helped him to integrate more easily with his Spanish school friends. Reading comics didn't stop him from reading books, particularly English titles, but it did offer him a new creative outlet.
When I was a child my teacher parents refused to allow me to read comics which only meant that I sneaked round to my friends' homes and read them there. For some unknown reason the majority of comics for females in those days seemed to focus on evil step mothers and young girls discovering that due to the vagaries of life they had been adopted at birth by a lowly family and that in reality they were princesses. Why we enjoyed such nonsense, who can say? Perhaps when life seemed horribly tedious at home and parents disappointed, we could pretend that it was all a case of mistaken identity and that we were most likely adopted and from noble stock.
The sort of comics that fill the likes of Norma and Akira are very different. The two biggest companies churning out superhero stories are Marvel and DC Comics. The pages are filled with swashbuckling modern day heroes such as Superman, Batman, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor and Spiderman to name but a few. Then there are comic series about Hobbits or Tin Tin and let's not even tiptoe into the realms of Japanese Manga which is a whole industry in itself. The shop Akira, is actually named after the Manga series about a post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo. I haven't quite got my head around that concept yet.
Suffice to say that I have never taken to reading comics myself but I do know countless Spaniards in my mountain valley who do. Contrary to expectation, most are adult males who tell me that with the Spanish economy on its knees, they read comics to enter a fantasy world where for half an hour they can forget about theirs and the country's troubles. That, I suppose, is why Akira Comics, established as far back as 1993, has been awarded for supporting the local community in Madrid. Their staff members are apparently passionate about comics. Good for them. If they are providing a troubled nation with some much needed cheer, they most definitely deserve a gong.

TYLER, Texas, April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Southside Bancshares, Inc. ("Southside" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Southside reported net income of $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 17.7%, when compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease in net income is a direct result of a $3.0 million decrease in security gains, net of tax. Net income less security gains, net of tax, actually increased $500,000, or 8.7%
Diluted earnings per common share decreased $0.16, or 17.8%, to $0.74 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, when compared to $0.90 for the same period in 2009.
The return on average shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2010, decreased to 22.59% compared to 33.78%, for the same period in 2009. The annual return on average assets decreased to 1.61% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 2.14% for the same period in 2009.
"We are pleased to report solid earnings for the first quarter of 2010," stated B. G. Hartley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Southside Bancshares, Inc. "We are using our earnings to strengthen our franchise by organically growing our capital as well as continuing to increase our shareholder cash dividend. During the first quarter we announced a 21.4% increase in the quarterly cash dividend and in a separate announcement, a 5% stock dividend."
"The quarter was marked by proactive management of the balance sheet with the goal of maximizing long term franchise value. This included restructuring a portion of our investment portfolio. In February, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced a change in practice when an individual mortgage holder becomes delinquent on their obligation. This was not a credit event, but rather a change in the cash flows of these agency mortgage-backed securities. Consequently, we embarked on a strategy to identify mortgage-backed securities whose cash flows might become significantly more volatile as a result of this announcement, attempt to liquidate those securities, and replace them with securities whose income and cash flow characteristics were more stable going forward. The result was a decrease in both the average coupon of the portfolio and in the average final maturity of the portfolio. However, the increase in cash flow due to the actions associated with the agencies announcements caused amortization expense to rise. This growth in amortization expense will not only continue but is expected to increase in the second quarter. We continue to fund a portion of our assets through long term callable brokered CDs, giving the bank flexibility should interest rates change in the future. Additionally, we called some higher priced brokered CDs and replaced them with lower cost, longer term callable brokered CDs. We are well aware the decisions made today will impact future earnings, and continue to manage today with the goal of providing flexibility and earnings well into the future."
"The national economy is emerging from the abyss of the latter half of 2008, yet this recovery is marked by pockets of uncertainty. During the economic downturn, the government put into place several stimulus policies. The expiration of those policies is likely to have some impact on the economy. As the inevitable changes in Federal Reserve posture occur, they could not only impact the economy, but could also directly impact our investment portfolio market value, our asset yields as well as funding costs. Finally, the health care legislation could impact the national economy, our service area, our customer's business costs, the healthcare industry and our own employee benefit expense. Given the abundance of uncertainty, we are committed to maintaining a conservative posture and we are pleased to be in the position of having choices as the economic environment develops."
"As we enter our 50th year of operation, we are grateful for the continued support of our shareholders. We also want to thank each of our employees, for without their loyal service we would be unable to successfully fulfill our commitment to our communities and our shareholders. Finally, we are fortunate to operate in our Texas service area. For many of us, our life's work has been growing with our communities. In the end, it all boils down to people so I would like to thank all of the stakeholders of Southside Bancshares, Inc. It is their dedication and loyalty to this franchise that makes these financial results possible."
Loans and Deposits
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, total loans decreased $16.1 million, or 1.6%, compared to December 31, 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, real estate loans decreased $6.0 million, commercial loans decreased $5.9 million and loans to individuals decreased $9.5 million. Municipal loans increased $5.2 million, partially offsetting these decreases.
Nonperforming assets appeared to continue to stabilize during the first quarter decreasing $548,000, or 2.3%, to $22.9 million, or 0.75%, of total assets, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 when compared to December 31, 2009.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, deposits, net of brokered deposits, increased $38.2 million, or 2.2%, compared to December 31, 2009.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $839,000, or 3.8%, to $23.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, when compared to $22.2 million for the same period in 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, when compared to the same period in 2009, our net interest spread increased to 3.42% from 3.37%. The net interest margin decreased to 3.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 when compared to 3.83% for the same period in 2009. This is due to increased amortization expense and tighter spreads for agency mortgage-backed securities. While credit spreads for agency mortgage-backed securities tightened during the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, the yield curve, the spread between short-term U.S. Treasuries and ten year U.S. Treasuries increased, therefore the slope remains steep.
Net Income for the Three Months
The decrease in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010, when compared to the same period in 2009, was a result of a decrease in security gains, an increase in noninterest expense and an increase in the provision for loan losses which were partially offset by a decrease in other-than-temporary impairment losses on the $2.9 million of trust preferred securities we owned at March 31, 2010.
Noninterest expense increased $935,000, or 5.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in noninterest expense was partially a result of increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense, FDIC insurance expense and other expense. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was associated with our overall growth and expansion, an increase in health insurance expense, normal salary increases for existing personnel all of which are reflected in salaries and employee benefits which increased a combined $458,000, or 4.4%, when compared to the same period in 2009. Occupancy expense increased $225,000, or 15.9%, due primarily to additional depreciation of a new core banking system implemented during the fourth quarter of 2009 and overall bank growth. FDIC insurance premiums increased $143,000, or 26.7%, due to an increase in FDIC insurance premium rates and an increase in deposits, when compared to the same period in 2009. Other expense increased $196,000, or 13.6%, when compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in other expense was primarily due to increases in repossessed asset expense.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, nor should they be relied upon as representing management's views as of any subsequent date. These statements may include words such as "expect," "estimate," "project," "anticipate," "appear," "believe," "could," "should," "may," "intend," "probability," "risk," "target," "objective," "plans," "potential," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are statements with respect to the Company's beliefs, plans, expectations, objectives, goals, anticipations, assumptions, estimates, intentions and future performance and are subject to significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. For example, discussions of the effect of the Company's expansion, including expectations of the potential profitability of such expansion, trends in asset quality and earnings from growth, and certain market risk disclosures, including the impact of potential interest rate increases, are based upon information presently available to management and are dependent on choices about key model characteristics and assumptions and are subject to various limitations. By their nature, certain of the market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future.

This week, the Horseshoe Gang celebrates the release of Crooked I Presents: Top Ramen N!&&@. Crooked I recently spoke with HipHopDX about the crew, which consists of Demetrius Capone, Kenny Siegel, Andrew "Dice" Dinero and Julius Luciano.
During an interview with HipHopDX, Crook explained why he's proud of their skills.
"They got the metaphors," Crooked I said. "They got the punchlines. They got the rhyme flow, the patterns. They really understand Hip Hop. They're hungry and humble. I mean, they got the ingredients man. Those dudes are stars."
Top Ramen N!&&@ is the latest effort from the group. It's a project that Crooked I says he stands behind.
"I think really just a different side of the group," Crooked I said, speaking about the album. "It's always going to have the raw impactful lyrics, but it's been a struggle growing up the way we all grew up. The best therapy to that is really getting it all out, putting it in the music and having people who have similar struggles or people who could just feel you reach back to you on Twitter or Instagram and say, 'Hey, that song that you made really touched me,' or 'It moved me,' or 'I could relate to it.' These are the things that are therapeutic. So that whole album is really, it's a story, man. People will get to know them even better, as human beings, as well as emcees."
In October 2012, Luciano spoke with HipHopDX about how struggles helped shape members of the crew.
"Hardship builds character so we all can learn something from misfortune," he said during an exclusive interview with HipHopDX. "The struggle we've endured has shaped the way we view life now. The struggle has also taught us to always be humble."
Crooked I Presents: Top Ramen N!&&@ is the gang's follow-up to #TrueStory, a project they released September 2012. Crooked I, K-Young and Kobe make appearances on this latest endeavor.
Horseshoe Gang's Crooked I Presents: Top Ramen N!&&@ can be streamed below, via djbooth.com.

Why do CDG flights to LAX (or vice-cersa) often fly over Greenland, ie a "Polar" route.
I know this is to save time (shorter route), but when the route is sometimes more to the South, the flight is finally not longer.

The O'Grady Residency in Psychology offers interns a number of resources to support their success while at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
Orientation provides interns with the skills and tools they need to adjust to working at Cincinnati Children's and begin their training year. Intern orientation covers such topics as ethics, building rapport with children and families, and training in professional development skills. The interns have the opportunity to meet with supervisors prior to starting rotations in order to better understand rotation expectations, populations and types of referral concerns. The orientation process continues for the first several weeks of the internship through required courses for interns.
Each intern is matched with a psychologist advisor based on interests and experience. Introductions occur during orientation week, and the advisor meets regularly with the intern across the residency year to provide support and be available to discuss professional development issues, questions and concerns.
A postdoctoral fellow meets regularly with the interns to candidly discuss their experiences, including potential concerns related to the internship program, supervision and career development. The fellow also works with interns to resolve training and curriculum concerns, if they arise. Typically this role is filled by a fellow who was previously an O'Grady resident.
Interns meet weekly over lunch. This is a structured time for them to share their perceptions, experiences and develop supportive relationships with each other.
Interns meet with the Training Director Team bimonthly. These informal meetings provide a forum for open discussion about current training issues and concerns, and provide opportunities for mentoring and one-on-one support.
Interns are invited to a number of social events throughout the year. The Cincinnati Children's Pediatric Residency program offers many social events for all hospital residents including clubs, sports teams and community projects. These social outings provide psychology interns with an opportunity to form friendships, relax and have fun with their medical colleagues.
The Division of Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology also sponsors several social events for psychology trainees including a welcome breakfast, Cincinnati Reds game and holiday party.

How are they really supposed to be on the upper body, like tight fitting or a little loose?
I just started shopping for jerseys, but found that sizes Small, Medium and Large don't mean a thing.
Each and every manufacturer outthere have its own concept of what each size mean !
For example: in the store few days ago I fitted nicely on a small size Bellweather jersey,
on Cannondale I'm large, and so it differs from others', I am Medium on another one,
what the heck ?!
I just received in the mail a jersey I ordered via Ebay, my best guess was Medium, but turned
out a rather tight fitting, although comfortable.
But it seems to me I'll rather buy in a store from now on all of my bike clothing , this way I get a chance to try them on and see what size is what.
So what gives? Are they supposed to be tight or a liytle loose? This is 2nd jersey I've ever bought.

I have a 2006 Ford escape that seems to shuts down when I stop at a red light or any stop sign. I believe its the idling of the car when it does this. I simply restarted the car back again and drive off and it seems to drive fine afterwards.

If you update your mozilla source, you can have shiny native-looking OS X searchfields
Sadly, I work on Windows :P
Still, you're making great progress with the templates. It's the 3rd update in a short amount of time.
Is it just you or more people working on this?
I do not see any references to template licenses, though...
I have a template you can add (once I finish it that is) but I need your e-mail address to send it to you when it's ready (5 files - index.html, style.css, print.css, screen.css, view.css - all in utf-8). I only need to make 1 or 2 tweaks here and there before it's done. If you want to know what kind of template it is it makes a html document look as it would on paper on screen. I'll think of a better description to accompany it.
When will be available a mac universal binary?

THE SKINNY: Metrolina allowed a season-worst 50 points last week, not a good omen heading into a match against Davidson Day, which averages 53 points per game.

Bestobell Valve Order
Valves to be used for low emissions engines in LNG shipping
Bestobell Marine, part of the President Engineering Group Ltd. (PEGL), has secured an order for its cryogenic globe, check and float level isolation (FLIV) valves with South Korean shipbuilding company DSME.
The order includes five ship sets of valves that will be fitted on the 173K liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier being constructed for Teekay LNG Partners LP of Canada. The vessel is due for delivery during the first half of 2016.
The new vessels will be constructed with M-type, electronically controlled, gas injection (MEGI) twin engines, which are expected to be significantly more fuel efficient and have lower emissions levels than other engines currently being utilized in LNG shipping, the company said.
Bestobell Marine said it has supplied DSME with valves for almost 50 new build vessels, and that its valves are widely used on LNG carriers, floating production and storage (FLNG) units, and floating, storage and re-gasification (FSRU) units.
This latest contract follows Bestobell securing an agreement in 2013 to supply globe and check valves to DSME for one of the world's first FSRU units.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Lt. Gov. Mark Darr's decision to stay in office despite his ethics lapses may intensify a push by Democrats at the Capitol to impeach the Republican official.
Under the state constitution, Darr would be suspended if 51 or more House members vote to impeach him. Senators would then hold a trial, with 24 votes necessary in the 35-person chamber to permanently remove Darr from office.
Darr last week agreed with Ethics Commission findings that he misspent campaign money.
The 100-member House has 51 Republicans, 48 Democrats and one member of the Green Party. Two Republicans have called on Darr to quit but haven't said whether they would join Democrats in an impeachment vote.
The Senate has 21 Republicans and 13 Democrats, with one vacancy set to be filled next Tuesday.

Start the getaway car folks. The Celtics just stole one in Cleveland, thanks to Mr. Green. Full grades upcoming….in the meantime, react here.
Jeff's starting a little collection of game-winners. Cold-blooded!

"To start, I think the best way to describe Devon and myself is full laughter and love. With Devon's military schedule, we are not together a lot of the time. Every moment we have together we cherish. I envision our wedding as a fairytale. I'm just so happy to have found the love of my life and share our happiness with our family and friends. We are very easy going and laid back couple who love to have a good time.
Onto the Ceremony: I am beyond anxious to walk down the isle with my dad to Devon. I am so filled with love and can not wait to say our vows to each other to be husband and wife in front of God and our family and friends. I'm a little nervous about this however, well... because I tend to be a lil emotional and afraid the tears of happiness, joy and love will be flowing. (note to self, waterproof mascara) I have a surprise planned for the ceremony (shhhhh! Don't tell anyone!) Devon loves the bagpipes, so I have found a bagpipe player to come in at the back of the church and play after the pastor has announced us as husband and wife."
Don't you just want to hug Margie after you read such sweet, beautiful words?
Well, I assure you, Margie looked stunning as a winter princess bride and Devon is probably one of the easiest grooms I've worked with.
Margie is also really into barns - as am I - so we braved the single digit temperatures for a few snaps. (Thank you to my second photographer, Maggie Rife, for assisting in such frigid cold.)
This post is a little detail heavy, because I was sooo in love with the decor at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club.
I hope you all enjoy this wedding as much as I enjoyed photographing it.
Flowers - E.J. Whitney Wilson
Makeup + Hair - Efthimia Salon in Burr Ridge
Venue - Cog Hill Golf and Country Club

Laurie, wow! Just saw the whole post! I love finding out what you captured. Oh, the details! You composed them superbly. They really add to the telling of their story. I had a great time shooting with you. Definitely worth bearing the cold-all the outside shots are beautiful.(01.17.10 @ 07:49 AM)
Wedding and Christmas, can't go wrong! Great stuff!(05.16.10 @ 11:29 PM)
