Use Statistics to Improve Your Process.
Our goal is to help you improve your understanding of statistical methods and to help you make effective data-driven decisions through statistical thinking, and enhancing your use of data to improve your process.
Training Available
Basic Statistics
Basic statistical concepts and tools will be presented and examples used to illustrate application of techniques. This course is designed to be a first-course introduction of statistics to anyone who has never had a statistics course (or who had a statistics course but wants a refresher).
Basic Statistics without Crunching Numbers
Minitab software will be used as a teaching tool to present statistical analysis techniques. The benefits of statistical analysis will be covered. Participants will learn how to get the most information from a set of data, get tips on data presentation, and learn how to avoid being manipulated by statistics. There will be an emphasis on practical application of the techniques presented.
Statistical Process Control (SPC): The Basics
SPC concepts and tools (including statistical thinking, control charts, pare to charts, flow charts, capability studies, histograms, etc.) will be presented. Examples will be used to illustrate when SPC tools are appropriate and how to apply them to current issues in your organization. This course is designed for anyone who wants to learn the full range of basic SPC tools.
Statistical Process Control (SPC): Key Concepts
Key SPC concepts and tools (control charts, pare to charts, flow charts, capability studies, and descriptive statistics) will be presented. Examples will be used to illustrate when key SPC tools are appropriate and how to apply them to current issues in your organization. A brief overview of other SPC tools will be presented to give participants full awareness of the variety of SPC techniques being used by organizations today.
Quality Improvement: Where to Begin?
Ideas and topics for starting a quality improvement effort or meeting current quality challenges will be offered by instructor and possibly supplemented by experience of other participants. This course is designed for any manager or executive who is thinking of starting a quality improvement effort. It could also be helpful to anyone in management who is currently involved with a quality system and would just like to hear a new viewpoint on how to make improvements.

Computers Enable Good Teachers
2 Comments | Print | NO PDF | Share
In a recent blog post for the The New Yorker titled, "Will computers ever replace teachers?," Justin Reich raises several interesting critiques on the value of educational technology. The bulk of his blog post is a synopsis of the history of technological innovations used to grade student work and provide feedback, including PLATO, DreamBox, Knewton, and essay grading software. He then delivers a provocative commentary on the ultimate value of these technologies:
In the forty years since PLATO, educational technologists have made progress in teaching parts of the curriculum that can be most easily reduced to routines, but we have made very little progress in expanding the range of what these programs can do. During those same forty years, in nearly every other sector of society, computers have reduced the necessity of performing tasks that can be reduced to a routine. Computers, therefore, are best at assessing human performance in the sorts of tasks in which humans have already been replaced by computers.
Perhaps the most concerning part of these developments is that our technology for high-stakes testing mirrors our technology for intelligent tutors. We use machine learning in a limited way for grading essays on tests, but for the most part those tests are dominated by assessment methods—multiple choice and quantitative input—in which computers can quickly compare student responses to an answer bank. We're pretty good at testing the kinds of things that intelligent tutors can teach, but we're not nearly as good at testing the kinds of things that the labor market increasingly rewards. In "Dancing with Robots," an excellent paper on contemporary education, Frank Levy and Richard Murnane argue that the pressing challenge of the educational system is to "educate many more young people for the jobs computers cannot do." Schooling that trains students to efficiently conduct routine tasks is training students for jobs that pay minimum wage—or jobs that simply no longer exist.
I think Reich makes a good point about the potential misalignment between the tests we use to measure education and the real learning needs of today's students. Today, standardized tests define the primary job of our education system. But do these tests capture what we truly value in education, or do we focus so much on standardized tests merely because they are the cheapest and most commonly accepted measurement tools we have?
Setting aside the commentary on testing, I think Reich's blog post overlooks some of the important benefits of educational technology.
First, learning basic facts and routine skills is still important. Computers may be faster and more accurate than humans at executing routine processes. Nonetheless, many of the best jobs in the economy of the future will involve creating models and programs for computers to analyze and evaluate, and an understanding of routine processes is foundational to understanding how to develop those models and programs. Similarly, computer-trained knowledge of basic facts may be useless as an ends unto itself, but students need to have knowledge of basic fact stored in their long-term memory so that they can draw on those facts when thinking critically and creatively. Second, the value of educational technology is much broader than merely providing instruction and feedback on basic facts and routine skills. Our traditional education system serves most students poorly because it does not address individual learning needs. Educational technology has the potential to transform that education system to make personalized learning available to students in ways that have never been possible in the past.
Some of this personalization comes from, as Reich points out, using computers as personal tutors for teaching basic knowledge and skills. But the more powerful personalization comes from using computers to enable teachers to provide more personalized learning.
Educational technology can free up teachers from routine aspects of teaching and classroom administration so that they can spend more of their time using their uniquely human skills to better support their students' learning needs. For example, when we use computers to teach basic math facts and skills, teachers can focus more of their instruction on helping students use those facts and skills to represent the world with mathematical models and apply them to real-world problems. Similarly, when we use technology to teach students basic scientific or historical facts, teachers can focus more on coaching students and providing expert feedback as students think critically, write persuasively, design, create, and collaborate.
So, will computers ever replace teachers? The answer is definitely no. Reich's arguments illustrate that teachers are critical for teaching students to do the kinds of valuable work that computers cannot replicate. The power of educational technology does not come from replacing teachers, but from empowering teachers to provide better instruction. In order for us to succeed at preparing students for jobs in the economy of the future, we are going to need technology to help us better utilize the critical resource of our teachers.

Teachers will be replaced by androids in 25 years, because information technology is changing at an accelerated exponential rate and the next 20 years will be like the last 200 in technological progress!!!
Teachers may not be replaced by computers, but pre-made courses taught by an in-person teacher or TA with a markedly different role will become the norm in some teaching environments. UCSD researchers recently classified the types of in-person supports that teachers provided to students enrolled in online UC Scout courses. These seven roles are: (a) Humans as fixers/explainers of technology; (b) Humans as digesters of content; (c) Humans as explainers of content; (d) Humans as extenders of content, toward application; (e) Human as providers of feedback and assessment; (f) Humans as regulators of the learning experience; and (g) Human peers as supporters of the learning experience.

Am testing with a client who send me a HTTP request with no content length header but has a content.
How do I extract this content without the help of contentlength header?
I've kept the original answer for completeness, but I've just been looking in the HTTP RFC (2616) section 4.3:
So if you haven't got a content length, you must have a Transfer-Encoding (and if you haven't, you should respond with a 400 status to indicate a bad request or 411 ("length required")). At that point, you do what the Transfer-Encoding tells you :)
Now if you're dealing with a servlet API (or a similar HTTP API) it may well handle all this for you - at which point you may be able to use the techique below to read from the stream until it yields no more data, as the API will take care of it (i.e. it won't just be a raw socket stream).
If you could give us more information about your context, that would help.
Original answer
If there's no content length, that means the content continues until the end of the data (when the socket closes).
Keep reading from the input stream (e.g. writing it to a ByteArrayOutputStream to store it, or possibly a file) until
EDIT: As has been pointed out in comments, the client could be using a chunked encoding. Normally the HTTP API you're using should deal with this for you, but if you're dealing with a raw socket you'd have to handle it yourself.
The point about this being a request (and therefore the client not being able to close the connection) is an interesting one - I thought the client could just shut down the sending part, but I don't see how that maps to anything in TCP at the moment. My low-level networking knowledge isn't what it might be.
If this answer turns out to be "definitely useless" I'll delete it...
If this were a response then the message could be terminated by closing the connection. But that's not an option here because the client still needs to read the response.
Apart from
Hopefully it's the former, in which case the request should look something like this:
POST /some/path HTTP/1.1 Host: www.example.com Content-Type: text/plain Transfer-Encoding: chunked 25 This is the data in the first chunk 1C and this is the second one 3 con 8 sequence 0

April Newsletter…running…and babies!!
Posted in: Blog by chirocare on April 17, 2012
Have you been thinking about breaking out the running shoes? As we look out the windows here we're seeing more and more runners. Running doesn't require much – but does require some prep.
Here are some top-tips for beginning a running program:
- Consider the age of your shoes; Running in worn-out shoes can contribute to excessive wear and tear to your muscles and joints.
- Consider the style of your shoes. No, not Manolo Blahniks, or diamond studded Nike runners ツ but instead making sure they're the right shoes for your feet, activity level, weight and body type. The wrong style can cause stress on your joints and muscles.
- If you are unsure about your shoes, just bring 'em in and we'll look them over.
- Set realistic goals…and increase your time, distance and/or speed over the course of several weeks or months.
- Follow a training program. There are gobs of free programs online. If you'd like to set up a more personalized program, we can help.
- Include adequate rest…allow your body to recover and rebuild.
- Keeping yourself appropriately hydrated before, during and after exercise will keep you feeling well overall. And the more you sweat during exercise, the more fluids you need to replace.
- Signs that you need to make some "adjustments" to your hydration are:
- dry-mouth
- cramps in your legs during activity
- headaches
- The average person should be drinking at least 64 ounces of water each day whether running or not!
- If you plan to run outdoors, especially at night, wear bright colors or reflective gear.
- Know your route. Let someone you trust know where you are going and when you expect to be back.
- Running with a partner is generally safer—it can also help you stay committed to your training schedule!
Office News:
- Dr. Gina, her husband Paul and their daughter Mia welcomed two new additions to the family this month! Gianna Mary Reid was born on Wednesday April 4th at 8:31pm. 5 pounds and 2 ounces and 19.5 inches long. Callie June Reid was born on Tuesday April 5th at 1:34am. 6 pounds and 3 ounces and 20 inches long.

Typical trail around here - this is part of my 20 mile "training ride" - 8.5 miles up and 8.5 miles down in a loop plus 3 miles - well, just screwing around. Today I had some company. Besides the deer, over the 20 miles I saw maybe 3 other bicyclists and 15 pedestrians - all of whom moved quickly to the side when they heard my bell, and we said hello and "thank you." I try and do about 20-30 miles daily as the weather improves. Pictures with my cell phone camera.

How to get vietnam visa
Travel Information
Online Support
Vietnam Travel Packages
Lao Tours
Myanmar Tours
At present, only citizens of few countries can visit Vietnam without entry visa:
-Not more than 30 days: for citizens of Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Laos.
-Not more than 15 days: for citizens of Japan and South Korea, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland.
- French citizens holding valid diplomatic passports are exempt from visa requirements when visiting Vietnam and are allowed to stay for up 3 months at one time or on several visits within six months since their first immigration dates.
- Citizens of Chile holding valid diplomatic or official passports are exempt from needing entry, exit and transit visas in Vietnams territory and are allowed to stay for up 60 days on each visit .
The best practice is to get the visa stamped on your passport before the departure by applying to one of the Vietnam Embassy or Consulate in the world.

Whether it be a comprehensive project, a leave of absence, a means to test the waters before adding staff
permanently to headcount, or an opportunity to 'try before you buy' any potential staff person, Greysmith's
staffing divisions offer the flexibility needed for managers to respond quickly and effectively to work place
staffing requirements.
team methodology
AccountSearch's interim and temporary-to-hire accounting staffing experience, and AdminSolutions',
administrative, legal, medical office and customer service expertise — these are two distinctly different areas
of specialization. Consultants in each division are well-versed in the requirements and demands of their
respective areas. Five days a week, fifty two weeks a year, they are focused on developing their specific
expertise. Each new staffing requisition gets the attention of every team member within the appropriate
division. This fast and targeted strategy has become our signature methodology when referring only the most
qualified candidates for your position. By drawing on the expertise and resources of the entire team rather
than a single designated consultant, our clients maximize the benefit of those efforts.
unmatched guarantee.
And it's been this way for more than 25 years. Greysmith has set the standard when it comes to standing behind our work and the resulting placement. Each client has the opportunity to evaluate at no risk, the work of their referred temporary employee for up to three times longer than our competition. And, if not completely
satisfied with the results, there will be no charge for that time. This is a straight-forward offer for your
piece of mind. This is the Greysmith difference.

"1907. Leon, Nicaragua. During a tribute which he delivers during his triumphal return to his native city, Ruben Dario writes on the fan of a little girl one of his most famous poems, "Margarita, How Beautiful the Sea."" "1956. In a cafe in Leon, a group of literati gather, dedicated to, among other things, the rigorous reconstruction of the legend surrounding Dario - and also to conspire. There will be an attempt against dictator Sornoza's life, and that little girl with the fan a half-century before, will not be a disinterested party." "In Margarita, How Beautiful the Sea, Sergio Ramirez encompasses, in a complete metaphor of reality and legend, the entire history of his country. The narrative moves along paths 50 years apart, which inevitably converge. The story becomes a fascinating exercise in the power of memory, in the influence of the past, fictitious or not, in the finality of reality."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

RICHMOND, Ky. (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama is urging Eastern Kentucky University graduates to apply the same resilience and hard work in school to their lives beyond campus and to seek out people with different beliefs.
Mrs. Obama paid tribute to more than 600 graduates Saturday night in a commencement ceremony at the school. She received thunderous applause from several thousand people attending the ceremony at the campus arena in Richmond, Ky.
Mrs. Obama tells the graduates that the work ethic and resilience that got them to graduation day will serve them well as they face life's ups and downs.
She also urges them to reach out to people who have opposing political views, saying that people "get stuck in their ways" if they only talk to people who think like they do.

"Noah" is coming with all of God's watery fury next month, and we presume the floodgates of images and clips will soon be opening up too. But until then, it's still small servings as Darren Aronofsky puts the finishing touches on the film.
And one of those final details is the soundtrack, which we already know will feature longtime collaborator Clint Mansell, with contributions from Kronos Quartet. And another big talent is joining their ranks, with the legendary Patti Smith writing a key song for the film. "I've been friends with Patti for a long time, and I needed a lullaby for the movie because it's a big part of the story. I was telling Patti about my struggles, and it turns out she's studied lullabies and writes a lot of them," the director told Rolling Stone. "She was like, 'Can I please write it for you?' And I said, 'You're asking me that question?' [Laughs] I said 'absolutely' with as much of a poker face as possible. She wrote this incredible lullaby that Russell Crowe sings to Emma Watson in the movie. It's really touching and beautiful."
As Aronofsky later revealed on Twitter, the song is entitled "Mercy Is." As for the actual movie, for all the fantastical elements his script is said to contain, the director reveals he's sticking very close to the source material from the pages of the Bible. "The film completely accepts the text, the four chapters in Genesis, as truth—just like if I was to adapt any book, I'd try to be as truthful to the original material as possible. It's just that there's only four chapters, and we had to turn it into a two-hour long narrative film. In the Bible, Noah doesn't even speak. So of course we've got to dramatize the story," he explained. "We tried to remain truthful to the themes and the ideas that are written, but to create a dramatic story for a 21st-century audience. I think people who are believers will see the ideas and the values that they're looking for represented in the film, and I think people who are non-believers, or come from different traditions, are going to be excited because it's not your grandmother's bible. It's something new, something big and something different."
And we'll see how it turns out on March 28th. Until then, here's two new character posters (via Cinema Buff) and a look at the cover of the English graphic novel release (Aronofsky's work has already been published in French overseas) from EW.

Unit Editions:
a new direction
The Editors
Welcome to the new Unit Editions website.
This new website marks a change of direction for Unit Editions. We are still committed to producing high quality books on graphic design and visual culture. But in recognition of the changing conditions within bookselling – Amazon discounts that are great for book buyers but fatal for small publishers; the demise of the traditional bookshop; the rise of e-publishing – we are working towards building a new publishing model for the internet age.
This means two main changes:
– our books, posters and papers will no longer be available through conventional bookshops (physical or online). They will only be available from this website
– we are investigating and experimenting with electronic publishing formats
It is our belief that although the seismic changes in publishing represent dangers, they also throw up opportunities. Five years ago, Unit Editions would not have been possible without substantial investment. Yet now, thanks to the networking channels that exist online, it is possible for a small publishing "unit" to launch, survive and even, in a small way, thrive.
The support we've had from designers, bloggers, design writers and friends has been exceptional. But this support will only carry on if we produce interesting and well-designed publications. With this in mind, we have many exciting projects lined-up for 2011 – watch this space for details.
Comments and feedback are always welcome. As someone once said: "Traffic goes both ways."
Best wishes
The Editors

Updated iPod Touch Delivers Nice New Features,
This review is from: Apple iPod touch 8 GB (2nd Generation) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
The iPod Touch debuted only one year ago, and this is the first update. I was excited to pick up the new iPod Touch at the Apple Store because I had never owned a first generation, though I do own iPhones.
I want to concentrate primarily on the new features:
First, physical volume buttons are now placed on the side of the iPod Touch as they are on the iPhone. This is very convenient. It allows you to adjust the volume of your music, without having to pull the entire device out of your pocket and activate the screen. A time saver.
Second, many people requested a built-in speaker for the iPod Touch like is available on the iPhone. Apple listened. However, there is one important point to make on this! The iPod Touch is incredibly small, and Apple is forced to put an incredibly small speaker. The speaker in the iPod Touch sounds worst than the speaker in the iPhone. I have compared it side by side, and it's fairly significant, and the iPhone speaker isn't that great to begin with. However, in a quiet room, the speaker is still useful for previewing a song you might want to buy, or for playing games. However, still, if you want great sound, you need to connect your headphones.
Genius - This new feature is really surprisingly good. When you're listening to a song you enjoy, select the genius option. It will create a playlist for you, with songs that go together nicely with the one you started with. It helps you rediscover great music from your collection with a playlist suited to the mood you're in. I didn't think it would do a good job compiling this list, but it has been quite impressive.
Applications - It's great to have the ability to buy (or get some free) applications right on the iPod Touch. Furthermore, with the software update this new iPod Touch comes with, the Application installation process is so much smoother than it had been even on my iPhone. It now works how you want it to, seamlessly. I like having a weather application that includes doppler radar images, and that is free. I also have several games on it. There is a great variety of applications available from hundreds of third-parties right on the iPod itself, so you are certain to find something that interests you. I really like the new release of Spore, for the iPod Touch and iPhone. Apple is really pushing the games and quietly suggest they are challenging Nintendo and Sony. They are innovative and interesting games, but I think they have a ways to go, to challenge those game makers.
Nike + is now built in too, so if you have the shoes and the puck, the iPod Touch is ready to receive the data from it. Battery life is improved to 36 hours audio and 6 hours video according to Apple. I find the audio number fairly accurate if you don't light up the display much, but the video number is a slight bit harder to achieve.
Of course, the new ipod Touch does look and feel even better than the first generation, from my small experiences with the previous one. I also think it feels cooler than my iPhones, but obviously your interpretation may very. I like the metal back on the iPod Touch. It looks classy, though it is prone to scratches.
One of my favorite features continues to be, when in my home on Wi-Fi, to reach down for the Touch, use Safari web browser and look something up. It's great.
Overall, it was a solid update for the iPod Touch. I wish the speaker could be better on it, but I believe that is due to the physical restrictions of the small device. I could have knocked it to four stars for that, but I think most people realize a built in speaker isn't the way you want to listen to most audio on an iPod to begin with. I'm impressed by the second generation iPod Touch, and I think with the third party applications getting better and becoming more popular, more people will consider the Touch.

One thing I'm still missing on the iPod Touch is GPS; including that could have made the Touch the single go-to device when I'm on the move...media player, internet access, calendar, contacts, GPS. I don't like having to depend on Wifi for directions and locating. There are some nice hacks out there already using the Touch's caching capacity, but as far as I can tell the 2G Touch could have been a *total* home run, something I'd be willing to pay $399 for.

There are, historically, six stages before the world moves from an old world view to a new one.
- The existing paradigm encounters an anomoly - an inexplicable observation.
- Initially the anomaly is ignored or rejected.
- Then people try to explain the anomaly within the existing paradigm.
- Then a new paradigm is proposed in which the anomaly is resolved.
- The establishment rejects the new model, often ridicules it proponents.
- The new paradigm is accepted as it accounts for new observations.
"Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognised. "First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is opposed. Third, it is regarded as self evident."
"The public have unrealistic expectations about weight loss".
"People who buy the Weight Watchers diet can't expect to lose more than 5 to 10 per cent of their excess weight."
On average, in the UK, we are all - every man, woman and child - three stone heavier than we were in the mid-60s. We haven't noticed it happening.
We have not become greedier as a race. We are not, contrary to popular wisdom, less active - a 12-year study, which began in 2000 at Plymouth hospital, measured children's physical activity and found it the same as 50 years ago. But something has changed.
An important study Keys completed was in 1944, the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, involving 36 conscientious objector volunteers. They lived for six months on semi-starvation diets during which they dropped a quarter of body weight.
One of the by-products of obesity is that a hormone called leptin ceases to work properly. Normally, leptin is produced by the body to tell you that you are full. However, in obese people, it becomes severely depleted, and it is thought that a high intake of sugar is a key reason. When the leptin doesn't work, your body simply doesn't realise you should stop eating.
The industry is tied into a complex matrix of other interests: drugs, chemicals, even dieting products. The panoply of satellite industries that make money from obesity means the food industry's relationship to obesity is an incredibly complex one.
Did they [the food industry] understand the neuroscience? No. But they learned experientially what worked. This is highly controversial. If it could be proved that at that some point the food industry became aware of the long-term, detrimental effects their products were having on the public, and continued to develop and sell them, the scandal would rival that of what happened to the tobacco industry.
Confronted by compelling peer-reviewed scientific evidence of the harms of smoking, the tobacco industry, beginning in the 1950s, used sophisticated public relations approaches to undermine and distort the emerging science.
A number of industries have subsequently followed this approach to disrupting normative science. Claims of scientific uncertainty and lack of proof also lead to the assertion of individual responsibility for industrially produced health risks.
From a study by Allan M. Brandt PhD, Department of the History of Science and the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard University
"Over the years I have been privileged to work with some of the most beautiful and shapely women in the world and it is true to say that even the most beautiful (by any standards) have moments of doubt and insecurities. I want to celebrate women and make them feel good in my clothes".
"It influences us all and affects the well-being of young women and men so it is important to acknowledge examples which promote body confidence and counteract the damage. Advertisers and marketers can be so imaginative. These are examples of the direction to aim in."
"With these awards we want to publicly recognise positive steps taken by industry groups, businesses and campaigners. In highlight their leading work and body confidence initiatives hopefully they will inspire others to follow in their footsteps."
"Fashion design can be a force for good when individuality and diversity are celebrated. We love fashion for all shapes, ages and sizes."
"We are there but we have no voice, not even a mouth in a head, no brain, no thoughts or opinions. Instead we are reduced and dehumanised as symbols of cultural fear. It's as though we have been punished for existing, our right to speak has been removed by a prurient gaze, our headless images accompany articles that assume a world without people like us would be a better world altogether."
"Journalists have an obligation to be fair, balanced, and accurate in their
reporting of obesity. Unfortunately, overweight and obese persons are often portrayed negatively and disparagingly in the media, and reports about the causes and solutions to obesity are often framed in ways that reinforce stigma. These portrayals perpetuate damaging weight-based stereotypes and contribute to the pervasive bias and discrimination that overweight and obese persons experience in everyday life.
"These stigmatizing experiences can impair emotional well-being, leading to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and even suicidal behaviors.
"Weight stigma poses significant consequences for both emotional and physical health.
"Around 58% of type 2 diabetes, 21% of heart disease and between 8% and 42% of certain cancers are attributable to excess body fat."

Project: Funded Project › Research
1/05/13 → …
The DEMAND Centre is funded by the ESRC/EPSRC with support from ECLEER (EDF R&D), Transport for London and the International Energy Agency. The centre started work in May 2013 and will continue until 2018. The Centre is Co-Directed by Professor Elizabeth Shove and Professor Gordon Walker.
The DEMAND Centre (Dynamics of Energy, Mobility and Demand) takes a distinctive approach to end use energy demand, recognising that energy is not used for its own sake but as part of accomplishing social practices at home, at work and in moving around. In essence the Centre focuses on what energy is for. This approach generates an ambitious research agenda that is crucial for organisations involved in demand management and in radically reconfiguring infrastructures, buildings and transport systems in line with greenhouse gas emissions targets. While greater efficiency is important, the trend is often towards more resource intensive standards of comfort, convenience and speed. The problem is that we lack a sophisticated understanding of how these trends take hold and of the underlying dynamics of demand itself. In focusing on how demand is made and met, the Centre will examine changing patterns in mobility and building-related energy use and take forward a wide-ranging agenda for future research and policy.

The inappropriate funding on an airplane can occur back to bite you in the long term. Normally airplanes depreciate more quickly than their bank loan balances decline via ordinary monthly payments.
If you purchase a late product or new airplane, odds are your loan provider will consult for a personal guarantee. If you need to sell in the 1st 5 decades you could be in for a terrible shock. There is a very good possibility you will be upside down, owing far more that you can hope to sell your aircraft for!
Environment up the suitable financing forward of time can eliminate this possibility payday loan no credit check all with each other.
Your product sales man or woman generally wont inform you about what I am about to reveal, mainly because, even amongst sector 'professionals' small is acknowledged about non-recourse plane loans.
There are really several resources for this products, but it is surely obtainable, and accessible at prices equivalent to those in which the financial institution asks for a personalized promise.
What a non recourse airplane loan does for you is supply you with the financing you need devoid of the personal ensure.
So, whats the catch?
Typically, funds sources need a larger down-cost (twenty five-30%) and the underlying asset same day payday loans (the airplane you are planning to acquire or cash-out refinance) have to be powerful and the loans carry a pre-fee penalty of up to 3 several years (although this can be negitiated out).
This funding is accessible on airplanes more recent than 20 a long time without any deferred routine maintenance and an impeccable/verifiable maintenance historical past.
The loan provider conducts a current market appraisal and centered the mortgage sum on that price.
These loans are usually only available on turbine powered airplanes and helicopters. minimal bank loan quantities are generally $one,000,000. Plans extend up to $thirty,000,000.
If you are hunting for a way to same day payday loan procure an airplane with out pledging your individual or corporate property, non recourse airplane funding is a single of the very best answers. With the uncertainties inherrent in present day economic local weather, coupled with lenders becoming nervous these loans are the only alternative for several buyers.
Some other guidelines loan providers search for in delivering these loans are:
Age of plane
Financial loan dimensions
Down fee percentage
Lawful and company history on principal
Minimal charter exercise on proposed aircraft
Fly a optimum of 300/350 hrs/year
At the moment on engine reserve software
Principally run/base the aircraft in the United States
Non-recourse payday loan no credit check aircraft financial loan closing expenditures are typically related to all those of their total recourse cousins with the exception of a 1% bank loan origination payment. Commonly you can assume to pay out about two% of your loan volume in somme expenses (which includes origination).
If you are considering the invest in of an aircraft, you owe it to yourself to look into non-recourse aircraft funding. Evaluate the professionals and disadvantages of just about every form of funding and I assume you will find that if you can get above the relatively substantial sown-fee, there is actually no other way to finance an plane.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Former Providence Mayor Buddy Cianci (see-AN'-see) is returning to his jobs as a TV commentator and radio talk show host after taking two weeks off following a cancer diagnosis.
The 72-year-old Cianci was back on air Monday at WLNE-TV, where he is a political analyst. He planned to resume his show at WPRO-AM Monday afternoon.
Cianci says doctors found a malignant abscess, and he had surgery Jan. 21. Since then, he has had one chemotherapy treatment. He's scheduled for seven more, then expects to receive radiation.
Cianci won't discuss what kind of cancer he has, but says he has been told it's curable, and he feels great.
Cianci was convicted of corruption in 2002 and went to prison.
He says he's not ruling out a run in this year's mayoral race.

Online Service Sends Emails To Nonbelieving Friends/Family Left Behind After The "Rapture"
Youvebeenleftbehind.com is an online service that will send emails (assuming computers still work) to as many as 62 nonbelieving friends/family after you, the good Christian, have been conveniently relocated to heaven during the "Rapture".
We have set up a system to send documents by email, to the addresses you provide, 6 days after the "Rapture" of the Church. This occurs when 3 of our 5 Christian team members scattered around the U.S fail to log in over a 3 day period. Another 3 days are given to fail safe any false triggering of the system.
Interesting. The service costs $40 a year and I just signed up. Of course, I'm only sending a single email:
Future Me,
Surprise, surprise -- you didn't make the cut. Now you're f***ed.

This cute little guy is super friendly with everyone he meets. He just wants to be close to you and have your attention, he probably was starved for attention in his former situation. Beamer was rescued from the Lorain County Dog Kennel. He appears to be housebroken and has good manners in the car. We believe he would be good with kids since he is so friendly but would prefer the kids to be a little older. Not sure on cats but feel he would probably be OK. He has been around multiple dogs but some male dogs may cause him a problem – he may do better as the only dog in a household. Beamer will make an excellent companion and will probably be ok with the run of the house while you are at work.

Aircraft crashes after crocodile on board escapes and sparks panic - Telegraph
The plane came down despite no apparent mechanical problems during an internal flight in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
It has now emerged that the crash was caused by the concealed reptile escaping and causing a stampede in the cabin, throwing the aircraft off-balance
A lone survivor apparently relayed the bizarre tale to investigators.
The crocodile survived the crash, only to be dispatched with a blow from a machete.
Danny Philemotte, the Dutch pilot and 62-year-old owner of the plane's operator, Filair, struggled in vain with the controls, with Chris Wilson, his 39-year-old First Officer from Shurdington, near Cheltenham, Glocs.
The plane was on a routine flight from the capital, Kinshasa, to the regional airport at Bandundu when the incident unfolded, on August 25.
It crashed into a house just a few hundred feet from its destination. The occupants of the property were outside at the time.
According to the inquiry report and the testimony of the only survivor, the crash happened because of a panic sparked by the escape of a crocodile hidden in a sports bag.
Asteroids are nature's way of asking "How's that space program going?"

Wonderful use of the word "dispatched"!

Great. Something else to be added to the list of items not allowed in carry-on luggage.

I like how not only did someone bring a crocodile on board an airplane in their bag, but someone at the airport just happened to be carrying a machete to "dispatch" it.

Product Information:
60 Degree Laser Point Bit: These bits produce the sharpest, tightest V-groove effect you¹ll ever cut with a router. Why do we call them the Laser Point? Because the results are so precise you might think they were cut with a precise beam of laser light. The three super sharp cutting edges allow you to work with superior precision and accuracy. The Laser point makes both a clean 30° bevel and engraves at a 60° angle.
60 Degree Lettering Bits:Designed specifically for routing signs, these bits have 60 degree cutting edges, an 1/8" radius and a 1/4"-wide flat bottom. This profile allows you to create striking effects for signmaking while eliminating undesirable chipping and splintering. By putting bevel edges on the raised characters of relief lettering you reduce the possibility of splitting the lettering, which often occurs when producing square relief effects.
D = Diameter; CD = Cutting Depth; CL = Cutting Length; R = Radius; SH = Shank Diameter; OL = Overall Length.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Hello Jacustomer,My name is XXXXX XXXXX I am an experienced criminal defense lawyer. I can assist you with this problemIn my experience, usually cases with these charges are overcharged. That is, the defendant may have struggled a little and the officer sprained his wrist while trying to cuff him, so it's charged as an assault/battery of an officer. Sometimes also these charges are made just to cover the officer's tail because the defendant was beaten up pretty badly. Also, if the officer can say he was injured he can take several weeks off with pay for a line of duty injury. So there are a lot of ways to come at a case like this, and I'm pretty confident your friend's public defender knows all about this sort of thing too.Of course, it's also possible that your friend did commit battery, but I have never seen one of these indicted without very serious injuries to the officers and ugly and unfavorable circumstances for the defendant. These are generally reduced to misdemeanors and resolved with nothing worse than probation, unless your friend would want to take the matter to trial.

The Exquisite Book Launch
Last Thursday, local artists and art lovers gathered at Rare Device in Duboce Triangle to celebrate the publication of The Exquisite Book: 100 Artists Play a Collaborative Game (Chronicle Books). In it—as its name implies—a hundred artists play the legendary Exquisite Corpse game, in which they each make a picture in sequence, based only on the prior artist's rendering. Kind of like a cross between Telephone and Pictionary for pros, though the game was actually invented by the Surrealists, that cheerful French lot who valued pure expression above reason, morals and even aesthetics. The resulting book shows—in satisfyingly thick, fold-out pages—the results of this collective stream of consciousness.
Escape to Los Angeles for DineLA
During the fog-entrenched days of July and August, I kind of—to my own surprise as a diehard adopted San Franciscan—fell in love with L.A. (I know, right?!) Its funky neighborhoods, its huge sprawling diversity, even its smog-tinged sky framing those impossibly tall, thin palm trees all beckoned me southward more weekend than one.
Weekend Getaway: Big Sur
The must-do itinerary for a weekend in the inimitable coastal enclave.
You won't be in Big Sur long before someone mentions the fire of 2008. The Santa Lucia Mountains, rising straight up from the ocean, are as magnificent as ever, emerald-green swaths of new growth the only reminders of the flames that ravaged 130,000 acres and evacuated the town for two weeks in July of that year. But the close call has made this nearly mythical outpost—where artists, hippies, healers and now luxury seekers unite—feel all the more precious.
First Bite: The French Take on Tacos at Papito
I live in Potrero, where Jocelyn Buelow reigns and tacos are hard to find. So the entire neighborhood's been abuzz about Papito, Buelow's little "organic Mexican bistro" on Connecticut, just around the corner from his Chez Maman and Chez Papa on 18th. Its cute windowfront and cheery signage appeared way back in spring, but it remained closed due to permit issues until a few weeks ago and, true to form, last night there were people waiting to sit down at one of only two dozen seats.
Must-See Concert of the Week: The Swell Season
In what seems like the 95th straight day of the coldest summer of our lives, the two best palliatives are getting out of the fog and listening to great live music. You can do both this Thursday when The Swell Season comes to Saratoga to play Mountain Winery.
The New Tahoe Ritz-Carlton: It's Like the Ahwahnee's Hip Younger Brother
Some ski towns are about glitz, and some are simply about snow. Tahoe has always been one of the latter. Let Aspen have its Chanel stores—in Tahoe you get a ski condo, bluebird skies and après beers. But a little luxury never hurt anyone, especially not an aching and hungry skier. And with the December arrival to the Northstar-at-Tahoe slopes of the Ritz-Carlton Highlands —including a new restaurant by Jardinière's Traci Des Jardins nestled within—you now have the choice of doing Tahoe like a real adult.
The Phoenix Supperclub, "A Roaming Restaurant," Launches
If you're tired of the same old SF restaurant grind—last week Flour + Water, this week Barbacco, next week Frances—you might want to try something a little different and go underground. For upwards of $200 per person, the newly launched Phoenix Supperclub, a "roaming restaurant" created by chef Tommy Halvorson (of Bix ,Gary Danko, Chez Panisse), will whisk you up in a limo, deliver you to a "secret San Francisco location" that might be a modern gallery or rambling mansion, and serve you nine langorous, wine-paired courses. You won't know where you're going until you arrive.
Now's the Time for Half Moon Bay
With the summer fog blown off, and the fall and winter holidays looming, Half Moon Bay makes the perfect, effortless weekend getaway this time of year. Because it's a mere 30 miles away down relatively uncongested 280, you won't have to leave work early on a Friday to be in HMB by dinnertime. Make a rezzie at Pasta Moon, a warm, Tuscan-inspired eatery on Main Street where the owner circulates among the tables to make sure everyone's happy. Order the lightly battered asparagus, the pear-and-prosciutto wood-fired pizza and, for entrees, the pesto risotto with day boat scallops or the grilled Arctic char in a rosemary demi-glaze. This, my friends, is the way to end a work week.
To-Do This Weekend: See Mark Morris
My non-dance-aficionado friends have a saying: If you're going to take me to a ballet, make it one of the best. They have a point: If you want to dive deeper into classical music, you start with Mozart or Beethoven. Thing is, most of the time, the creators of "the best" are already dead and their works have become lofty, durable standards—not fresh, of-the-moment creations. That's why modern choreographer Mark Morris matters. Very much alive and kicking at 54, Morris has been creating compelling, instant classics since his early twenties.
Your Weekend Drive to Santa Cruz: Beach, Boardwalk and Beers by the Pool
We here at 7x7.com are becoming addicted to this summer escape idea. Last weekend I gave Santa Cruz a whorl and decided it is the perfect weekend destination right now. Just as summer begins to wind down, and your East Coast friends are talking about the Shore and Cape Cod, you can get your very own beach-fix a mere 79 miles south of SF.

'Smoky Joe Wood' author to sign book
As the 2013 Major League Baseball season heads toward the World Series, Pike County Historical Society and Rohman's Inn in Shohola will sponsor a book signing by Gerald C. Wood, author of "Smoky Joe Wood: The Biography of a Baseball Legend."
The event will be Sunday, Oct. 27, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the inn, Shohola. Books will be available for purchase, as will typical ball game snacks.
At 18 years old, Howard Ellsworth "Smoky Joe" Wood pitched for the Boston Red Sox, winning 21 games; threw a no-hitter by the age of 21, and had a 34-5 record plus three wins in the 1912 World Series, for a 1.91 ERA, when he was 22. In 1913, Wood suffered injuries to his right hand and shoulder. Following the 1916 season, he played as an outfielder for the Cleveland Indians. After retiring, he coached the Yale University baseball team.
Historical society officials set up the book signing at Rohman's Inn because Wood was known to visit. The ball player's family moved to the area in the early 20th century and he is buried there.
For more information, visit www.pikecountyhistoricalsoci ety.org or call 570-296-8126.

Gilford counting on speed, athleticism to give them the edge
- Published in Local Sports
GILFORD — ''We don't have much size overall but if we can stay healthy we've got a very athletic team which will be able to beat people with our speed,'' says Gilford High School football head coach Chris Marden.
Only 24 and in his first year as a head coach, Marden has been an assistant coach the last two seasons for the Golden Eagles, and says the team has over 20 players returning from last year's 1-8 squad which gives the team a veteran presence he expects will pay dividends as the season progresses.
The offense will be lead by senior quarterback Jack Athanas, who will be joined in the backfield by tailback Max Troiano and fullback David MacDonald while Kyle Gaudet will be the prime target for Athanas, along with Braedon Lacroix and Beck Stecher.
Up front in the offensive line will be guards Drake Parker and Seth Rowley, center Austin Blais and tackles Shane Podmore and Zach Poisson.
Marden says that there are a lot of two way players on the team and that Parker and Rowley will be the interior linemen with Podmore and Ben Waite at the end positions. Linebackers will include Gaudet and Thomas Saeger on the outside and MacDonald and Poisson on the inside. Stecher and Troiano will be the cornerbacks with Carter Mercer at safety.
Marden, a 2007 graduate of Laconia High School, was an All-State selection as an offensive lineman in 2006 and played at Norwich University where he was three-year starter and twice an all-conference offensive lineman.
He has also played professionally for the West Texas Roughnecks but gave up his dream of playing professionally after he was cut by the Orlando Predators.
Marden, who says he's now considering a career as a police officer, is looking to bring the football program back to the winning ways of just a few years ago when the Eagles went 9-2 and played in the Division VI championship game in 2010.
He's get a full coaching staff with former Souhegan and Kingswood head coach Scott Laliberte serving as defensive coordinator and Shawn Garrett, head JV coach and Jacob Kleckner, assistant JV coach.
''We were down to 19 players at the end of last year but we had over 30 turn out this year. We're down to about 26 now with some injuries but we're looking to build the program back up so that we can remain competitive with other teams in our division.''
A realignment of the divisions of New Hampshire high school football has cut the number of divisions from six to three and will see Gilford competing in the 19-team Division III.
The new three-division system has basically fused the old Divisions I and II into the new D-I, Divisions III and IV into the new D-II, and Divisions V and VI into the new D-III.
There are four conferences in each division, with the following lineup in Division III, which has 19 teams:
South: Bow, Campbell, Pelham and Somersworth.
Lakes: Franklin, Gilford, Inter-Lakes/Moultonborough, Newfound and Winnisquam.
West: Bishop Brady, Epping-Newmarket, Farmington-Nute and Raymond.
East: Fall Mountain, Mascoma, Newport and Stevens.
Eight teams will qualify for the playoffs with the top new teams in each conference meeting in the first playoff round. The four remaining teams will then be seeded using a point system and will meet in the semifinals, with the No. 4 seed playing at the No. 1 seed, and the No. 3 seed playing at the No 2 seed.
The Golden Eagles open their season on Saturday at Newport and will face some familiar foes in the Lakes conference, including Franklin, which posted 9-2 mark last year and was Division IV state champion, a rebuilding Inter-Lakes/Moultonborough squad which was 1-7 last year, as well Winnisquam which was 5-4 last year and Newfound which was 6-4 last year.
Sep. 7: at Newport, 1:30 p.m.
Sept. 14: Winnisquam 1:30 p.m.
Sept. 21: at Inter-Lakes/Moultonborough 2:30 p.m.
Sept. 28: Bow 1;30 p.m.
Oct. 5 Farmington 1:30 p.m.
Oct. 12 at Newfound 1:30 p.m.
Oct. 19 Raymond, 1:30 p.m.
Oct. 26 at Franklin 1:30 p.m.

ML Game 19
Campbell's Boathouse Restaurant 1
Patriot Construction 0
Campbell's - 1; Patriot - 0
Media, Pa - Campbell's Boathouse broke their season's longest losing streak with a 1-0 victorious pitching duel over Patriot Construction. Patriot's starter Danny DiRita held the dangerous Campbell's attack to just one run on 4 hits with a masterful performance. He would however be outdone by the tandem of Bryan Paz and Evan Fooks, who together struck out 11, gave up 2 hits and kept Patriot scoreless, for Campbell's first shutout of the season.
Campbell's run which proved to be lethal, came in the top of the 3rd when Andrew Sposato hit the fence on a double, scoring Fooks. Patriot nearly tied it in the 4th, when DiRita tried taking the game into his own hands, with a first pitch fastball that he took to the warning track in center. Campbell's center fielder Nick Corado was there to haul it in for the long out, as the gusting wind seemed to keep the ball in the yard.
continued to dial strikes, eventually handing off in the sixth to Patriot
reliever Andrew Pak. Pak would finish where DiRita left off, yielding just a hit
in his inning of work, and setting up Patriot's chance for the top of the order
to win it in the bottom of the frame.
Patriots' speedy center fielder Dylan Bittle would open the home sixth working a
walk and stealing 2nd and 3rd to set up Patriot's heart of the order. Ethan
Emery walked also, and the go-ahead run was aboard! A wild pitch went to the
backstop, as Bittle raced home, but Campbell's catcher Aiden Carroll fired a
dart to Fooks covering to record the big out at the plate. Emery would remain
stranded as Fooks dug in and retired two strait hitters to notch the save.
Campbell's upped their league leading record to 5-1 and sent second place
Patriot back to .500 with 3 wins and 3 losses.
Umpire's - Coach Cav, Keith Holland
Pitch Counts:
Paz – 49
Fooks – 31
DiRita – 85
Pak – 9

BOSTON A Martha's Vineyard town and a local taxpayer's association can join the state's lawsuit challenging plans to build a gambling facility on tribal land on the resort island, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor said the Town of Aquinnah and the Aquinnah/Gay Head Community Association have legal standing to intervene in the lawsuit brought by Gov. Deval Patrick's administration because both entities, along with the state, were party to a 1983 settlement that gave the Aquinnah Wampanoags, a federally recognized tribe, ownership of roughly 400 acres on the western tip of Martha's Vineyard.
The tribe proposes turning an unfinished community center on that land into a gambling hall with high-stakes bingo and poker-style electronic games. But the state says such a facility would violate the 1983 land accord.
The agreement, which was signed by the state, town, taxpayers association and the tribe, conveyed the land to the tribe with the understanding that the state's jurisdiction would never be "impaired or otherwise altered" and the tribe would not "exercise sovereign jurisdiction" over the land.
But with state lawmakers opening the door to private casino and slot parlor development in 2011, the tribe began looking into opening its own gambling facility.
The tribe maintains it has the right to operate the type of gaming facility it proposes – regardless of whether it has state approval – since it does not call for traditional slot parlor machines or casino table games such as blackjack or roulette.
