Gabon government accuses opposition of paying for trouble
Tensions in Gabon's capital Libreville simmered Friday as pro-government television channels accused a dissolved opposition party of having paid youths to stir up violent clashes with police.
State-owned Gabon Television and the private channel Teleafrica broadcast Friday what they say is a recording of Jean-Christophe Owono Nguema, a former member of the National Union (UN) party, asking an unnamed contact to "set fire" before a demonstration and proposed to pay for "petrol and matches".
A source at the presidency who did not wish to be named said: "The extracts from Gabon Television seem to show that the trouble was premeditated."
The allegation was denied by UN party president Zacharie Myboto.
"It's not because the ruling party gives money and T-shirts to people to attend demonstrations that we do the same thing," he said.
A group of around 20 young opposition supporters told media Friday that they did not support violence and called on "all supporters not to take to the street (in protest) anymore".
Earlier Friday a traditional military parade marking independence celebrations led by President Ali Bongo Ondimba had showed little sign of the tension seen during Wednesday's clashes which broke out after police stopped an unauthorised protest in support of opposition leader Andre Mba Obame.
One person died during the clashes, according to the UN party, and a television station belonging to Mba Obame was torched in the worst violence since a disputed 2009 election which saw Bongo succeed his father Omar as president following the leader's death earlier that year after 42 years in power.
In a televised address to the nation ahead of independence celebrations, a defiant Bongo warned he would not tolerate any further uprising.
"I won't let chaos into Gabon. The law must be respected and it will be," he said.
Thousands of people have turned out to support Mba Obame, a former member of the ruling party who defected to the opposition, since he returned to Gabon on August 11 from 14 months abroad over health problems.
The UN party, which was officially dissolved after the opposition leader proclaimed himself president in 2011, refusing to accept Bongo's victory in the 2009 election which Mba Obame says he won, has vowed to continue its campaign to oust the Gabonese president.
Speaking of a grave crisis, the party has been calling for a national conference that would produce a new constitution and elections.
According to the party, a 22-year-old woman died in the unauthorised protests Wednesday.
Gabon's health ministry said the woman who was known to be asthmatic died "of natural causes". But an unnamed hospital source said the death was "likely due to a reaction to tear gas".
The police, which the UN party has accused of firing on protesters, denies any death was linked to the clashes.

By: Nsenga Burton Posted: Jan. 10 2011 1:04 PM 0 Actor Lance Reddick releases an album, Contemplations and Remembrances. Best known as Lt. Cedric Daniels on the hit HBO series The Wire, actor Lance Reddick has released his first album, Contemplations and Remembrances. Reddick, 41, who currently stars on the Fox series Fringe, is no stranger to music, having attended the prestigious Eastman School of Music, where he studied classical composition. Reddick, who plays piano, always wanted to be a musician, but the acting jobs came first, which allowed him to take care of his family. In an interview with the Associated Press, Reddick states, "I got married straight out of school. I started acting, almost on a whim to help my music career. ... There were songs I had written from while (I was) in my 20s. ... I would sing them around the house from time to time. My daughter said to me one day -- this was about 10 years ago -- "You should do something with that." I said, "Sweetheart, I think the time's passed. I think I'm too old." She said, "Daddy, that sounds like an excuse to me." The talented actor, who has starred in several groundbreaking series, including HBO's Oz, is showing fans his first true love, which is groundbreaking in and of itself. Read more at Yahoo News.

Nanuet Man Charged with Threatening to Kill Federal and State Officials and Illegal Possession of a Weapon
|U.S. Attorney's Office February 25, 2013
Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York; Thomas P. Zugibe, the Rockland County District Attorney; George Venizelos, the Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); and Chief Michael Sullivan of the Clarkstown Police Department announced today the filing of federal and state criminal charges today against Lawrence Mulqueen of Nanuet, New York. Mulqueen faces federal charges for threatening to kill federal officials and others and separate state charges for criminal possession of a weapon. He was initially taken into custody on state charges on February 21, 2013, and was charged federally today. He is scheduled to appear before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in White Plains federal court tomorrow.
U.S. Attorney Bharara stated, "As alleged, Lawrence Mulqueen maliciously abused the power and reach of Facebook to call for murder—making bloody, incendiary death threats against federally elected officials and others. He even provided his like-minded Facebook friends with a virtual 'how to' on the most effective weapons to use in making good on those threats, as described in the complaint. The Internet is a forum for free expression, but it does not give anyone carte blanche to break the law."
Rockland County District Attorney Zugibe stated, "In our fast-paced world of status updates and tweets, behavior of this type must be treated seriously and investigated promptly to ensure that all threats or indications of potential violence are mitigated and do not escalate. Overt threats of the sort made by this defendant against our elected leaders are especially troubling and must be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law. I want to thank U.S. Attorney Bharara and his team for their good work and partnership in bringing this dangerous individual to justice."
FBI Assistant Director in Charge George Venizelos stated, "The defendant is alleged not only to have threatened to kill elected officials. He did the virtual equivalent of standing in the town square with a megaphone, using his Facebook page to exhort others to carry out these assassinations. Freedom of speech is a fundamental right, but making overt threats is not protected speech, it's a crime."
Clarkstown Police Chief Sullivan stated, "We're pleased and proud to work with other local and federal law enforcement agencies to bring this person into custody and to protect our elected officials and all other citizens."
According to the allegations in the complaint filed today in White Plains federal court:
In February 2013, Mulqueen posted numerous messages to his page on the online social networking site Facebook, threatening to kill members of the United States Congress, state and local elected officials, and others. Among other things, Mulqueen posted on February 20 that he "[could] not wait to start killing" multiple United States senators and members of the United States House of Representatives, as well as a governor and mayor, adding that their "dirt nap [was] coming very soon."
Mulqueen instructed people who commented on his posts to secure a "high powered rifle" and recommended a particular Italian-manufactured shotgun as "very light and...semi- automatic, [with] no need to pump or reload." He added that readers should "[u]se blades when you can to conserve bullets." In other posts, Mulqueen commanded readers to seek out and kill other individuals, including at least one political activist.
According to the allegations in the indictment returned today in Rockland County Court:
Mulqueen is charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, a class D felony. Mulqueen faces a maximum term of three-and-a-half to seven years on this charge
* * *
Mulqueen, 49, is charged in the federal complaint with one count of threatening to kill federal officials and one count of transmitting threats in interstate commerce. He faces a maximum federal penalty of 15 years in prison.
Mr. Bharara and Mr. Zugibe praised the investigative efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Secret Service, and the Clarkstown Police Department.
The charges contained in the federal complaint and the state indictment are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The case is being handled by the Office's White Plains Division. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ilan Graff is in charge of the prosecution.

Evidently, not until the 10th paragraph of this puff piece about a pro-government rally (is there any other kind in Pyongyang?) that attracted conscripted 100,000 hapless souls. Here's how it starts:
Tens of thousands of North Koreans rallied in Pyongyang in a display of might and loyalty underscoring their government's guiding "military first" principal amid tensions with rival South Korea.The government mobilized 100,000 North Koreans for Monday's annual New Year's rally, which honors leader Kim Jong Il and reaffirms full public support for his rule in the year ahead.Pumping their right fists in unison, they marched through Pyongyang's main Kim Il Sung plaza pledging their loyalty, some waving huge red flags as top officials watched from a viewing stand.
Gee, do you think maybe their participation was...coerced? Eventually, in paragraph 10, we find out that North Korea is a "totalitarian state."Who knew?

Reception for British Artist Guthrie Thursday
September 8, 2009
HANCOCK, MI - An exhibit of work by Derek Guthrie, British artist, art critic, and co-founder of the influential art magazine New Art Examiner, is featured at the Finlandia University Gallery, Hancock, through this Friday, September 11.
The exhibit is the first of Guthrie's artwork in decades and the United States premiere of these paintings, all created since 1995.
A closing reception for the artist will take place at the Finlandia University Gallery Thursday, September 10, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. An artist talk will begin at 7:15 p.m.
Michigan Technological University will sponsor a lecture by the artist Monday, September 14, 7:00 p.m., at the Forestry Building Auditorium, Houghton.
Guthrie and his wife, Jane Addams Allen, founded the New Art Examiner in Chicago in 1973. Known for decades in Chicago for his work in art criticism, Guthrie is credited with having helped introduce a new set of writers that would become prominent in their field.
After retiring in 2001, Guthrie and his wife moved to Cornwall, England, where he began to paint again after a hiatus of many years. In 2004, Guthrie's wife died after a long struggle with illness. Through his current paintings Guthrie has drawn strength from the Cornwall landscape and renewed his interest in Eastern art and the oriental brush.
The Guthrie exhibit is sponsored by the Finlandia University Gallery, the Finlandia University Campus Enrichment Committee, and Michigan Technological University.
The Finlandia University Gallery is in the Finnish American Heritage Center, 435 Quincy Street, Hancock. The reception is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

Clinics are set for Dec. 4 in Hernando and Tupelo, Dec. 5 in Columbus and Meridian, Dec. 10 in Jackson and Hattiesburg and Dec. 11 in Gautier and Hancock County.
The Mississippi Foreclosure Prevention Consortium
meeting in Meridian will be at East Mississippi Electric Power Association Auditorium, 2128 Highway 39 Dec. 5 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
For more assistance, call 1-866-530-9572.
The clinics will provide information about refinancing and loan modification. People seeking help should bring mortgage documents, including notices from their lenders.
Earlier this year, Attorney General Jim Hood created the Mississippi Foreclosure Prevention Consortium to help homeowners who've had problems paying their mortgages.
The consortium was created through funding from a national settlement with the five largest mortgage providers.
Hood says there's a Jan. 18 deadline for people to apply for payment under the national settlement.

Offshore Transmission Buzz
Another investor for Atlantic project
Another investor has appeared for an Atlantic coast transmission backbone that would facilitate offshore wind. This time, it's the fourth-largest grid operator in Europe.
The Belgian Elia System Operator NV is investing in the $5.5 billion power transmission project off the U.S. Atlantic coast that will link 6,000 megawatts of offshore wind farms.
The company acquired a 10 percent stake in the first segment and 5 percent of the remaining segments of the Atlantic Wind Connection. The size of the investment was not disclosed. Just as important, perhaps, the company is experienced in the offshore transmission markets in Europe, which the American partners lack.
The undersea power lines off the coasts of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia will be developed in five segments.
But just this month, the Department of Interior issued its draft environmental impact assessment for offshore wind that proposes to govern much of the area that the proposed transmission backbone would serve.
The project, first proposed last fall, generated instant buzz in part because of the partnership backing the $5.5 billion plan, which includes Google. Tokyo-based trading company Marubeni Corp. Swiss-based clean energy investor Good Energies are also backing the project, and Google Inc. is providing 42 percent of the pre-construction equity.
"We look forward to joining the shareholders of, and to bringing our expertise to, this challenging and innovative project. We share their vision regarding the strategic importance of carbon-free production of electricity and massive integration of wind energy into the grid. The cooperation and synergies that we will develop together will benefit a greener planet", said Daniel Dobbeni, CEO of Elia, and also chairman of the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E).
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in May granted a 12.6 percent return on equity for the project, less than the 13.6 percent sought by the developers.
The Elia Group is the fourth largest Transmission System Operator (TSO) in Europe and operates the electricity transmission system in Belgium and the electricity transmission system in the North and Eastern part of Germany through its daughter company 50Hertz Transmission.
Elia simultaneously entered into a long term consultancy contract with the AWC project developer, Atlantic Grid Development ("AGD"). Under this contract, the group will bring to the AWC project its expertise in the design and development of offshore/electricity-highways in Europe; expertise gained namely in the North and Baltic seas, off the shores of Belgium and Germany.
Elia is also one of the founding parties of a consortium between seven major European companies all active in offshore transmission, which provides unique turnkey solutions for offshore transmission.
A recent study just released extols the potential of offshore wind energy with a potential for 127 gigawatts, at a reasonable costs and with significant economic development. The potential using very conservative methods, to show that offshore wind on the Atlantic coast could provide much greater energy potential than offshore oil and gas combined.
Some Euro knowledge would needed to come close to that potential.

Gas price?
Gas prices are running about $4.50/million BTU.
Energy storage runs about $1 million per MW for a 1 hour storage package. To extend the MWh of storage without increasing the power input, is about $650K/MWh. Then one has to add in the extra generation capacity to charge the storage while still delivering 6,000MW to shore.
Please explain the economic logic in offshore wind
I guess I must be really stupid because I just have a lot of difficulty understanding the economics of all this push to offshore wind.
This offshore transmission line is planned to handle 6,000MW of offshore wind development if I read the article correctly. Offshore wind is projected to cost $5,500/KW (nameplate capacity) with a projected capacity factor of 42%. The investment in 6,000MW of wind generating facilities will be roughly $33 billion. 6,000MW at 42% capacity factor is 22.1 million MWh per year. Over a 20 year life, the capital cost for just the generating facilities alone represents $74.66 per MWh.
Let's take a look at the transmission line. If the investors are allowed a 12.6% return on their investment of $5.5 billion and we ignore any operating and maintenance costs for the transmission, the cost per MWh is $31.36/MWh that the ratepayers will have to pick up.
If we put the two capital costs together, the investment for just the offshore generating and transmission is $38.5 billion. At 42% capacity factor and a 20 year projected life, the capital cost alone (again no O&M, no taxes, no other costs at all) is $87/MWh.
Now one can argue the wind energy will be so green--no ecological impact. Beg to differ--if onshore wind farms are killing birds and bats, I wonder how many more marine bird kills there will be? The structures for the turbines will become attractive places for the birds to roost. As has been found around offshore oil rigs, the rig structures attract fish and crustaceans, ie food for the marine birdlife, baiting the killing zone.
Oh, don't forget, somewhere either on- or offshore, there has to be 6,000MW of fossil-fuel backup or humongous energy storage for the 6,000MW of offshore wind making the true investment more like $44.5 billion assuming the backup is a combination of simple-cycle and combined-cycle gas turbine facilities.
I am sure DOE will be happy to plunk down a 30% cash-in-lieu-of-production-tax-credit grant for the wind generation and transmission facilities using taxpayer money. So, let's see, 30% of $38.5 billion is $11.55 billion. That will build about 10,500MW of CCGT power capable of putting about 87 million MWh on the grid per year if need be. Or, lets go the other way--for 6,000MW of gas fired CCGT and SCGT, the investment is about $6 billion--so, we can give the taxpayers back $5.55 billion, provide power very reliably, and not kill hundreds of marine birds every year.
What about fuel costs?
Offshore wind critic-
In your lifecycle cost example above, you forgot to include the ~$245 billion in natural gas fuel costs (over 20 years) in the CCGT scenario.
CCGT plant size: 6,000 MW (assume 50% efficiency)
20 year energy produced: 788 million MWh (assuming 75% capacity factor)
Natural gas cost (year one): $3.75/therm (100,000 Btu) & assume 2% annual escalation
Total 20 year fuel cost (no NPV considered): $245.1 billion.
Perhaps in lieu of a CCGT plant, offshore energy storage plants could be built to "firm" the intermittent nature of offshore wind: http://www.energystorageblog.com/2011/04/12/join-the-discussion-offshore-energy-storage/

€15,000/ac sought in Kerry
Published 09/01/2013 | 06:00
In one of the earlier auctions of the New Year a 25ac parcel of land, located in Tonevane, Blennerville, Tralee, Co Kerry, will be offered for sale next week with a guide price of €375,000 or €15,000/ac.
The land is all in one block and described by Eamon McQuinn of McQuinn Property Services as top quality, free draining, well sheltered, limestone land, with no waste.
It is divided into a few fields fenced with whitethorn hedgerows and has two different access points from the public road.
The land is suited to a wide range of enterprises and given its proximity to Tralee it should have considerable commercial value.
Located on the verge of Blennerville village, the holding is within walking distance of Tralee town and fronts onto the N86 road to Dingle.
According to Mr McQuinn, there is lively interest in the property from both farmers and non-farmers alike.
He points out that quality land parcels located close to Tralee town rarely come on the market and tend to make above average prices. The property is due to go under the hammer in the Grand Hotel, Tralee, on January 15 at 3pm.

By: Celeste Little Posted: Nov. 26 2012 3:15 PM 0 Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) and Chalky White (Michael K. Williams) on Boardwalk Empire (HBO.com) (The Root) -- After probably watching your post-Thanksgiving weight tip the scales at home, Sunday was a good night to watch more than just your figure. Real Housewife Phaedra got snagged in a lie, and Chalky from Boardwalk Empire made a very shady deal. Check out our recaps below. Real Housewives of Atlanta (Sunday, 9 p.m. ET; Bravo)"Apollo and Rocky, they are men, so I wouldn't expect them to understand the importance of birthdays." --Phaedra Highlights: This week, Phaedra takes the limelight. When she's not planning her 2-year-old son's $20,000 birthday party, she's talking about Cynthia, since she apparently had better things to do. We've all been victim to an embarrassing pocket-dial or two, and this week it's Phaedra's turn, because just as she's talking about Cynthia, she butt-calls NeNe and inadvertently spills all the beans. Boardwalk Empire (Sunday, 9 p.m. ET; HBO)"Come round here looking for an army." --Chalky Highlights: On Boardwalk Empire, HBO's prohibition drama set in Atlantic City, N.J., businessman Nucky Thompson is finally forced to face the bad deals he's been making up until this point when his home is attacked by a group of armed men. So whom does he run to? Chalky White, (played by Michael K. Williams) a black man he's slighted in the past by refusing to support his dream of a night club for African Americans in the city. Chalky agrees to help out Nucky, but we're not really buying it. Only time will tell how scorned Chalky really is. Ep. 35: Inside the Episode Treme (Sunday, 10 p.m. ET; HBO)"You can't blame this on faulty wiring or I left the hot plate on." --LaDonna We all remember LaDonna's tragic story. She'd been assaulted, stalked by someone and became a victim of arson when her bar, Gigi's, was burned down.Highlights: Well, this week, someone from her insurance company comes to assess the damage and implies that the fire could have been started by something left unattended in the kitchen. LaDonna's attacker is also taken to trial this week and gets off scot-free because of a deadlocked jury. All this is happening while LaDonna tries to organize a benefit to rebuild the bar. The benefit faces some road blocks when they realize it'll be competing with Jazz Fest.Seems like this lady just can't catch a break. Ep. 31 Clip: LaDonna Deals with the Aftermath The Walking Dead (Sunday, 9 p.m. ET; AMC)Highlights: Tough girl Michonne may be strong, but this week she takes a terrible spill. She's very badly injured and faints as a group of zombies approach. Rick saves her just in the nick of time and revives her, but the scare still lands her a comfy spot locked up in one of the jail cells.Once she's feeling a little better, she tells everyone that Glenn and Maggie have been kidnapped and works with the group to find them. She even does some bada -- sword-wielding stuff. She's unstoppable, apparently.Meanwhile, after being tortured for a while by Merle and Martinez, who have been working for the governor, Maggie gives up the group's prison hiding spot. Damn.

Jay Reeves, Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — Tropical Storm Karen stalled Saturday afternoon in its move toward the Gulf Coast but still threatened to bring heavy winds and high rains. Officials from Louisiana to northwest Florida acknowledged that the storm was weakening and sent some emergency workers home, but urged residents to be cautious.
"The storm's weakened, and that's good news, but we're not out of the woods yet," New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said at a news conference. He warned of likely high winds, street flooding and power outages.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Saturday afternoon that Karen hadn't moved for a few hours. It had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph, making it a weak tropical storm. Forecasters expect it to resume its northerly track and be near or over portions of southeastern Louisiana on Saturday night and Sunday. It could speed up into Sunday and is likely to pass near the coasts of Mississippi and Alabama that day.
Rick Knabb, the director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami, noted that "there is still the potential for some locally heavy rainfall and for some storm surge in coastal areas, but the magnitudes of those hazards greatly reduced. We still could see 1 to 3 feet of coastal flooding due to storm surge in some spots."
In low-lying Plaquemines Parish, La., officials changed an evacuation order from mandatory to voluntary Saturday afternoon. More than 80 evacuees from the area, at the state's southeastern tip, had taken refuge at a public shelter, which would remain open Saturday.
They gathered in an auditorium where they rested on cots, watched for weather updates on TV and chatted outside on the front steps.
"I don't really know what to expect, but they told us to evacuate, so we got out," said Dana Etienne, 27, of Phoenix, La., who was at the shelter with her three young children.
Ahead of the storm, squalls of rain hit workers sandbagging low sections of the flood-prone town of Lafitte, La., along Bayou Barataria.
"We have a high tide, but we only have another 15-17 hours to worry about, and I don't think the tide will come up much more in that time," Mayor Timothy Kerner said. "It looks like it might come up another foot or two, but I think we're going to be OK."
Coastal authorities closed flood gates along waterways that could be affected by tides driven by the storm. In New Orleans, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers continued closing barriers designed to keep surge out of the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal — scene of catastrophic flooding in 2005 when flood walls failed during Hurricane Katrina.
Col. Richard Hansen of the corps said more gates along various canals could be closed, and warned boaters not to get caught on the wrong side of those gates "If there is a gate in the system, it may not be open when you decide to come back in," Hansen said. "So it's time to pull your boats out of the water and quit fishing."
At the Port of New Orleans, port officials working with the Coast Guard said they were optimistic that vessel traffic at the mouth of the Mississippi River, halted since Friday morning, would resume Sunday. The port remained busy, officials said in a news release, with some of the nine ships at dock there still working cargo. Two Carnival cruise ships that had to delay weekend arrivals were expected Monday.
Dan Hahn, emergency operations planner for Santa Rosa County in the Florida Panhandle said Karen appeared to be a "nonevent" for the region.
The county had activated its Emergency Operations Center for the weekend, but decided to close on Sunday after getting the latest update on the storm's path. Hahn said he and other officials were relieved the storm wasn't more developed. But Hahn still urged residents to pay attention to weather updates and to be prepared for any emergency.

Max Sherman's long career has included stints as a legislator and an educator, culminating as dean and now professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs.
Sherman was born Jan. 19, 1935, in Viola, Ark., but moved to Phillips when he was an infant. His penchant for public service was visible at Phillips High School, where he served as student body and class president.
Sherman decided to continue his education at Baylor University, but needed help with financing. He received a scholarship from Phillips Petroleum Co. and earned extra money counseling in a freshman boys dormitory and selling Bibles door-to-door during the summers.
Sherman was elected student body president and named most representative senior male student at Baylor. He received his bachelor of arts degree from Baylor in 1957 and moved on to the University of Texas Law School. He graduated with honors from UT in 1960 and was elected a permanent officer of his law school class.
After graduation, he enlisted in the Army. He was later commissioned and achieved the rank of captain in the Judge Advocate General's Corps.
In 1961, he married Gene Alice Wienbroer of Borger. The couple have two children.
After leaving the Army, Sherman joined the Amarillo law firm of Gibson, Ochsner, Adkins, Harlan and Hankins, where he became a partner.
In 1971, he was elected to represent the Panhandle in the Texas Senate. He served on several committees and was the president pro tempore of the Senate in 1974. During his tenure he was chosen the best member of the Legislature by Texas Monthly magazine.
Sherman retired in 1977 to take over as president of what was then West Texas State University. Upon his retirement from the Legislature, he was lauded by fellow lawmakers and the press.
Sherman served as president of WT five years before retiring and pursuing a failed campaign for attorney general in 1982. After the campaign, Sherman accepted a position as counsel to then-Gov. Mark White.
Sherman left the job with the governor in July 1983 to become dean of the LBJ school at the University of Texas, a position he held 14 years. He retired as dean in 1997, saying he wanted to pursue his new passion of fly fishing. He still holds the school's chair in state and local government and continues to teach courses on ethics and government at the LBJ school.
When Sherman announced his retirement as dean, the Texas Senate passed a resolution honoring him. Sen. Teel Bivins, R-Amarillo, said at the ceremony that Sherman was "our most distinguished Panhandle resident."
In 1998, Sherman was named Texan of the Year by the Advisory Committee of the Texas Legislative Conference.

Mitsubishi's history goes all the way back to 1917, when the Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Company, Ltd., introduced Japan's first series-production automobile. The Model A was a hand-built seven-seat sedan based on Fiat's Tipo 3. It turned out to be too expensive, when compared to American and European mass-produced rivals, and was discontinued after only 22 cars had been produced, in 1921.
Thirteen years later, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding merged with Mitsubishi Aircraft, a company that had been formed in 1920 to construct aircraft engines. The new company was called Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), and it was the largest privately-held company in Japan. It concentrated mostly only aircraft, ships, and railroad cars, but in 1937 it introduced the prototype sedan PX33, which was designed for military use. It was also the first Japanese-built passenger car with full-time four-wheel drive.
After the end of World War II, MHI returned to manufacturing vehicles, including the production of Fuso busses, a three-wheeled cargo vehicle called the Mizushima, and a scooter called the Silver Pigeon. However, the Allied powers ordered that Japan's family-controlled industrial conglomerates be dismantled, and MHI was divided into West, Central and East Japan Heavy-Industries in 1950.
In 1951, East Japan Heavy-Industries began importing the Henry J, an knockdown-kit (CKD) American sedan built by Kaiser Motors. That same year, Central Japan Heavy-Industries formed a similar contract with Willys for the CKD-assembled Jeep CJ-3B, which led to licensed Mitsubishi Jeeps remaining in production until 1998.
By the 1960s, with a greatly improving Japanese economy, Central Japan Heavy-Industries, which had changed its name to Shin Mitsubishi Heavy-Industries, had already re-started their automotive department, and was ready to release the Mitsubishi 500, a mass-market sedan, it followed this with the Minica kei car in 1962, and the Colt 1000 - the first Colt - a year after that. Meanwhile, West Japan Heavy-Industries (which was renamed Mitsubishi Shipbuilding & Engineering) and East Japan Heavy-Industries (renamed to Mitsubishi Nihon Heavy-Industries) had also expanded their automotive departments, and in 1964 the three were reunited as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Within three years the new MHI's output was over 75,000 vehicles per year, and, with the successful release of the 1969 Galant, and similar growth in its commercial vehicle division, it formed Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, on April 22nd, 1970. In 1981, Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) was formed after tensions arose with MMC's American import partner, the Chrysler Corporation over the international subcompact market.
Since then, Mitsubishi has faced some troubles in the United States, but it is now re-energizing the brand. New model introductions have had mixed success, with the Outlander and Eclipse showing growth over 2005 but the Endeavor SUV failing to meet expectations. A new Lancer compact car is to debut in 2007, and the company is seeking new export markets for a redesigned Galant.

Environment Minister M Veerappa Moily has cleared a Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) decision to allow gene modification field trials for certain food crops after the same was put on hold for about a year by his predecessor, Jayanthi Natarajan.
While giving his nod, Moily, however, sought to downplay the approval row, saying there was some "misunderstanding" over the issue and there was no "embargo" from Supreme Court on such trials.
The minister's nod will pave the way for GM field trails for rice, wheat, maize and cotton.
Moily, however, made it clear that the trials are subject to approval by state governments and fulfilment of certain conditions.
The clearance will enable companies such as Bayer Bioscience, Mahyco and BASF and Monsanto India to carry out field trials for the crops. Bayer Bioscience, for example, has been given clearance to test GM rice across the country.
Earlier, Natarajan had blocked the approval obtained by GEAC in March of last year, reportedly because the issue was pending in the apex court.
But Moily said he had examined the case with officials and found that there was no embargo on the clearance by Supreme Court, Moily said.
"It is a report from a statutory committee. I don't think a ministry or a minister will have any business holding it back. We can't do that. We have to work with the rules... and the law of the land is same for everyone. That is why, as a law-abiding minister, I approved it," Moily told reporters here.
The minister also said that the Environment Ministry, Agriculture Ministry and the Department of Biotechnology had a "common position" on the issue, which would be placed before Supreme Court.
Natarajan had, in fact, not "disagreed" with the decision of the GEAC, he further stated.
The next meeting of GEAC has been called on March 21 to discuss some more issues, he said.

Spotlight: The Flies
Parisian ladies' man Jean-Paul Sartre had plenty on his mind when he adapted the Greek myth of Orestes and Electra for the stage in 1943. His nation had just been occupied by the Nazis, and many of his countrymen were in a state of stunned acquiescence. Bedlam Theatre wades into the recent Twin Cities Greek revival with a distinctive take on this difficult work, staging a visual feast that intermittently connects and frequently drifts. Brad Dahlgaard's thrift-store-classical set and Kristi Ternes's costumes combine for a richly nihilistic effect--the citizens of Argos are depicted as cockroaches, done up in black punk gear and scrabbling on the floor. The show opens with a hilarious high-energy recap of world history according to the Greeks, with castration, copulation, and simulated birth aplenty. From there the energy level is dialed down, though a number of high points emerge. Jon Cole's Zeus steals nearly every scene in which he appears--Cole plays the king of the gods as a capricious, beer-swilling crackpot whose main interest in humanity is to stir up their troubles. By the time Josh Scrimshaw's Orestes appears on the scene, Argos is in the midst of a 15-year bad trip. Maren Ward's Clytemnestra and Leif Jurgensen's Aegisthus have long ago murdered Clytemnestra's husband Agamemnon upon his return from the Trojan War, and they've imposed a culture of guilt and blame on the people. Orestes appears to long-lost sister Electra, played by Sarah Garner, and a plan is hatched to kill their mother and stepfather. Scrimshaw brings energy but a lack of deeper dimensions to his role, and things drag by the end of the first act. Garner, like Cole, lends a pleasing anachronistic edge to her performance, particularly when she tries to convince the populace that those in power are keeping them frightened and oppressed under false pretenses (wait, that reminds me of...oh, never mind). It's ultimately a legitimately original if flawed take on a heady work, and while the rough edges are plentiful, this show rattles around one's head in a weirdly insistent way in the days to come.

Physicians are Concerned Supplements are More Popular Than Ever
The supplement aisle of any supermarket or natural grocery store can be overwhelming. There are hundreds of products on the shelf, all claiming different benefits. Some are labeled with a letter of the alphabet, others are named after a tree root, and some seem like they belong on the spice aisle.
With an industry so big and so confusing, it's alarming that there are still no strict regulations for these over the counter products. This has been an on going health frustration, leading doctors and legislators to speak out.
In 1994, President Clinton signed the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act (DSHEA). This placed dietary supplements as a subcategory of food. Therefore supplements can go to market without submitting proof of safety or efficacy to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 17 years later, this law remains despite the stories of harm and the urging of physicians for change.

Anyway, I'm wondering why my cranks are making some loud noises. I have tightened them down and it does not help the problem. Every time I am out of the saddle, there is a creaking from each crank as I push that side down. It sounds as though they are loose, but that can't be the case since I've made sure they're tight. Any ideas as to what the noise could be coming from and possible solutions?

Patients Exposing Medical Prices, Taking Matters Into Their Own Hands
August 14, 2013 in health care costs, Hospital Bills, Insurance Bills, News
The medical world is moving toward price transparency — very slowly. Unfortunately the amount of data available is still relatively sparse, considering the wealth of useful data that could be published. What users are shown is often nothing more than an average or calculated estimate for an area. When the rare facility-specific data is revealed, it is too often list prices (which almost no one pays) or several years old.
One reason for the crawling pace is the healthcare industry's reticence to let consumers compare costs, which would surely send a great deal of business to lower-priced facilities and put downward pressure on prices. It would be disastrous to their revenues. And don't think for a minute that the federal government is in a hurry to bring about transparency. The "Affordable" Care Act was carefully crafted to keep hospital revenues in tact, influenced by the billions politicians receive from healthcare lobbyists (more than 4 times greater than the next 3 largest lobbying groups combined). Patients just don't stand a chance against such powerful forces.
Enter Pricing Healthcare, a relatively new addition to the playing field. They're asking consumers for a little (anonymous) pricing data from their medical bills in an effort to expose what should be openly and readily available to patients. The company is interested not just in the prices hospitals and physicians charge, but more importantly what real patients are actually paying, in the form of discounted and insurance-negotiated rates. Users can enter data from bills going back nearly 3 years, but as people enter more recent data, it keeps the content current. The website makes the process relatively easy, and patients from all over the U.S. have already started submitting data, many with a great deal of enthusiasm.
Crowd-sourcing isn't Pricing Healthcare's only source of price information on the user-friendly site. While consumer data is being collected, the company is also pulling in data from other sources (as can be seen from the large amount of San Francisco data they have published). For the first time the company says, consumers can compare cash prices for scores of hospitals in a large metro area. They company is asking patients in the San Francisco area to help them discover insured rates (the hardest prices to come by) by supplementing the data already on the site from their own medical bills.
Grass roots efforts have done a great deal to influence the course of American history. The internet age certainly makes it easy for individuals to band together and force change. Pricing Healthcare hopes citizens will be concerned enough about the high cost of healthcare to lend their voices and make a difference. Time may be running out.

The latest Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart dating update? The Twilight couple has been spotted out and about together, so clearly they are dating but I think Rob and Kristen need a little privacy to take things to the next level.
How will Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart ever move on to marriage and babies if the paparazzi is always following their every move?
I wonder if Rob and Kristen's relationship will last long enough to see them through to a wedding and into parenthood, given how everyone feels the need to keep tabs on the Twilight couple at all times.
I think that Twilight fans are so in love with them as a couple, that it must be hard for them to keep things on the downlow, but they seem like a great pairing. Maybe someday the Twilight hysteria will fade and they'll be able to be a normal couple.
Can you imagine trying to date but having cameras shoved in your face everywhere you go? I know it's the life of a celebrity, but it's got to be really annoying.
Bottom line: leave them alone!
And for those keeping score at home, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's dating outings have been at an all-time high this week – they were spotted at a Jenny and Johnny concert, having dinner together another night, and cozying at SoHo House over the weekend.
Do you think Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's dating will lead to a long life together? Do you think the paparazzi should just leave them alone already?

We are in the seventh year of "recovery," such as it is. The first quarter of the year, the economy, the economy not only didn't improve, it declined by 0.7 percent. The administration blames it on the weather, which was indeed a harsh winter in the East.
So it is unsurprising that economists are looking closely at the new reports on last month's results. Hiring was picking up, last month's jobs numbers came in at 280,000, an improvement over the average of 207,000 for the past three months. But if hiring is picking up why are wages and GDP stagnant or even shrinking?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov) reports the Establishment survey (the source of the monthly nonfarm payrolls change) and the Household survey (the source of the monthly unemployment rate data). In this case the numbers were almost identical. an increase of 280K jobs and the Household survey reported 272K jobs added. Only 251,000 jobs were expected. Two thirds of all jobs were low-paying, low-quality, primarily teachers, retail, temporary help and waiters. The vast majority were in the 20-24 age group, and the number of self-employed workers jumped by 350K to 10 million. At Zero Hedge, the pseudonymous Tyler Durden is more helpful
So the "recovery" has almost entirely benefitted foreign-born workers, or 3 to 1 times more than native born Americans.
Here's how the BLS describes a foreign-born worker.
The foreign born are persons who reside in the United States but who were born outside the country or one of its outlying areas to parents who were not U.S. citizens. The foreign born include legally-admitted immigrants, refugees, temporary residents such as students and temporary workers, and undocumented immigrants. The survey data, however, do not separately identify the numbers of persons in these categories.

—Some days one is struck by the absolute absurdity of the human race. John Hinderaker of Powerline keeps close track of the corrections published by The New York Times, The Times dutifully publishes a lot of corrections and their prim recitation of getting everything just about totally wrong gets me right in my weird sense of humor.
—Most people are aware that the much vaunted plug-in electric cars are not exactly selling like hotcakes. Their share of the total market is only a pathetic 0.65%. But that's nothing to compare to the sales of the used EV market. All new cars lose about 20% of their value the minute they roll off the lot, but plug-ins have some specific problems. You don't get President Obama's $7,599 bribe on the used ones. The higher retail price is rarely made up in fuel savings over the life of the model. The $40,000 Chevy Volt is basically a $17,000 Cruze with a 500 lb., 25 mi. range, eight-hour-to-charge battery. The big question is how much does a new battery cost? GM claims $8,000-$9,500. Ford say between $12,000 to $15,000. The humor comes in the fact that we've wasted more than $6.5 billion in subsidies just since 2008. We are indeed absurd.
—A Muslim country with a 25% slave population is elected Vice President of the United Nations Human Rights Council. The UN human Rights Council met in Geneva on Dec. 12, and elected Mauritania as its Vice-President and Rapporteur for the next year, the second highest position at the world's top human rights body. According to a recent report by the Guardian, "up to 800,000 people in a nation of 3.5 million remain chattels," with power and wealth overwhelmingly concentrated among lighter-skinned Moors,"leaving slave-descended darker skinned Moors and black Africans on the edges of society." Must not criticize a cultural tradition.
—A new report just out from the Internal Revenue Service reveals that thirty-six members of President Obama's executive office staff owe the country $833,970 in back taxes. A reminder that the best taxers aren't always the best at being taxed. Federal employees as a group owe a whopping $3.4 billion in unpaid taxes. This includes 1.181 employees of the Treasury Department who are delinquent on a total of $9.3 million in taxes. Bad example from the boss. Tim Geithner had to pay $42,000 in back taxes before his confirmation as Treasury Secretary. Some of the worst offenders are: the Government Printing Office, The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency, and also —the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Among the worst of the small department offenders, with only 77 employees, is the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.

Apply direct pressure until bleeding stops. Pack the wound with absorbent gauze, apply direct pressure on top, and elevate it above the heart. If it soaks through, add more gauze on top and keep applying pressure. When bleeding stops, clean the wound thoroughly with a high-pressure stream of water. Apply antibiotic ointment to a sterile dressing and completely cover the wound, securing it with tape or roll gauze. Gaping wound? Press the edges together gently and hold them there with wound closure strips. Then apply the ointment and sterile dressing.
Check all wounds (including burns and abrasions) regularly for signs of infection:
1) increasing pain, heat, redness, and swelling; 2) more than a little white pus; 3) appearance of red streaks just under the skin near the wound; and 4) fever. If these signs appear and grow steadily worse, find a doctor.
NOTE: Do not close wounds caused by animal bites or crushing injuries; anything involving damaged tendons, ligaments, or bones; or those too heavily contaminated to clean thoroughly. All have a high risk of infection. Instead, pack the wound with moist gauze, cover with dry gauze, and evacuate the patient.

Women's Healthcare
Women's healthcare needs change a great deal at different stages of their lives. Because of this, women often see a number of different types of doctors for care. Some women even see multiple types of doctors for primary care. Others focus on gynecologic care and don't see a doctor for anything else.
It's a good idea to come prepared with questions about your health needs when you visit your doctor. The questions you ask will depend on the type of care you are going to receive.
Visiting a Primary Care Physician
A primary care provider, or PCP, is the main doctor many women see. PCPs are also known as general practitioners or family practice physicians. This doctor treats common illnesses such as colds and minor infections. They can also serve as a home base for your medical care. Your PCP can also collect all your data in one place for future reference.
With certain types of insurance, a referral from your PCP is necessary to see a specialist.
Questions you might ask your PCP include:
- What can I do to improve my overall health?
- Am I at high risk for any chronic diseases?
- What screening tests do I need this year?
- What tests will I need next year?
- Should I get a flu shot or other vaccination?
- Are antibiotics necessary to treat this infection?
Internists are also primary care doctors. They specialize in the treatment of adults. These doctors often help manage chronic illnesses like hypertension or diabetes.
Visiting the Gynecologist
A gynecologist is a doctor specializing in the female reproductive organs. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that a girl make her first visit to a gynecologist when she is between the ages of 13 and 15. Women should visit once a year, or as needed, after that.
Your gynecologist will perform a Pap smear and pelvic exam, as well as other needed tests. Some women use their gynecologist as a PCP.
Questions you might ask your gynecologist include:
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Do I need a pelvic exam every visit?
- What type of birth control would work best for me?
- What STDs should I be screened for?
- I have severe pain during my period. Can you help?
- I've started spotting between periods. What does that mean?
Visiting an Obstetrician
An obstetrician is a doctor specializing in pregnancy and childbirth. Most obstetricians are also gynecologists. However, some obstetricians work only with pregnant patients.
Your obstetrician will guide you through the entire process of pregnancy. This doctor will also help you manage any pregnancy complications.
Some questions you might consider asking your obstetrician include:
- When should I start taking prenatal vitamins?
- How often do I need prenatal care?
- Am I having a high-risk pregnancy?
- How much weight should I gain during pregnancy?
- What shouldn't I eat during pregnancy?
- Should I schedule my labor?
- Should I have a vaginal birth or C-section?
- Can I have a vaginal birth after a C-section?
- Should I consider using a birthing center for my delivery?
Visiting a Dermatologist
A dermatologist is a doctor who specializes in treating skin conditions. Dermatologists also treat conditions relating to hair and nails. A dermatologist can help women manage conditions like:
- acne
- eczema
- rosacea
- psoriasis
- aging of the skin
A dermatologist can also conduct a full-body skin check of moles. This is done to identify the early warning signs of melanoma.
Questions you might ask your dermatologist include:
- What changes should I look for in my skin?
- Are there any moles I have to worry about?
- I get frequent skin rashes; how can I stop them?
- My skin is flaky. Can that be helped?
- How often do I need to get a mole checked?
- What is the best treatment for my skin condition?
Visiting the Ophthalmologist
An ophthalmologist is a doctor of medicine (M.D.) who specializes in the treatment of eyes and related structures. Ophthalmologists treat serious eye conditions that require surgery. You may also see an ophthalmologist for regular eye exams and prescription lenses.
An optometrist is a healthcare professional trained to deliver eye and vision care. Optometrists have a Doctor of Optometry (D.O.) degree instead of an M.D. Optometrists generally act as your primary eye care physician. You may visit one annually to get your vision checked. Most of the time, an optometrist will be the one to prescribe any needed corrective eyewear.
Questions you might ask an eye specialist include:
- How often do I need my vision screened?
- Should I be tested for glaucoma?
- What eye symptoms should I be worried about?
- I have floaters in my eyes. Is that dangerous?
- Is there any way I can protect my eyes from damage?
- Do I need bifocals?
Visiting the Dentist
Dentists take care of your teeth and provide any needed oral health care. You should visit your dentist for a cleaning every six months. You should get a checkup once a year.
Questions you might ask your dentist include:
- Should I be getting cleanings more often?
- What can I do to improve my dental health?
- Do you screen patients for oral cancer or oral HPV?
- Should I get screened for oral cancer?
- Should I use teeth whiteners?
- Is there any way to get protection from cavities?

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
If there is no personal guarantee signed by either of you, the creditor cannot seek to collect from you personally. In order to collect from you personally, the creditor would have to prove to a judge that you signed a personal guarantee. If it cannot produce documentation or other evidence to prove that she signed a guarantee, the court will not grant it a judgment against you personally. However, a judgment against the business would be obtainable.
If the creditor cannot prove that she signed a personal guarantee, then you are correct in denying liability (if you agree to pay, they've got you). You should demand that they prove personal liability, and if they cannot or will not, you should have nothing to worry about.

How to Hide Files on Your Computer Like a Pro
Wanna hide something only you want to see?
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Ensure you aren't able to view hidden files. Go to Control Panel > Switch to classic view > Folder options > click view > click "Do not show hidden folders"
2Right click on the file and click on properties. If it's a program or any other file it should let you change the icon right there, but if it's a folder go to the last tab, all the way on the bottom it should let you change the icon. It will first show you all the standard icons for the PC, but towards the middle there are 3 blanks spots where if you click on it the icon will be invisible! Choose that one.
3Now you've got a file with a name but no icon, so rename the file and hold ALT and enter on numpad (may need numlock) hit 0160, it should disappear!
4Highlight it and all that shows up is the highlighted empty name. To make it 100% invisible, right click on it and hit properties again, check hidden on the bottom of the file, then it will ask if you want to apply to all files and subcategories, hit yes, and you're done.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- If it's something you really want to hide, be aware that anyone who is checking the files on your PC could just highlight everything and find your file. Thus before you check hidden, move it to a random folder that no one uses for an extra boost of security.
- If put under forensic analysis these methods are rendered useless. Hiding files in folders is ineffective as the tools that forensic analysers use show an entire disk's contents in a long list, and they show all hidden files and folders. (Still good for hiding from friends and family though)

Cost Volume
Profit CVP Relationship » Contribution Margin and Basics of Cost Volume
Profit Analysis
Learning Objectives:
Contribution margin is the amount remaining from
sales revenue after variable expenses have been deducted. Thus it is the amount
available to cover fixed expenses and then to provide profits for the period.
Contribution margin is first used to cover the fixed expenses and then whatever
remains go towards profits. If the contribution margin is not sufficient to
cover the fixed expenses, then a loss occurs for the period. This concept is
explained in the following equations:
revenue − Variable cost* = Contribution Margin
Manufacturing and Non Manufacturing
margin − Fixed cost* =
Net operating Income or Loss
For further clarification of the
basic concept of cost volume and profit Analysis (CVP analysis) we now take an example.
Assume that
Masers A. Q Asem Private Ltd. has been able to
sell only one unit of product during the period. If company does not sell any
more units during the period, the company's contribution margin income statement
will appear as follows:
Masers A. Q.
Asem Private Ltd
Contribution margin Income Statement
For the month of-------------
For each additional unit that the company is able to sell during the
period, $100 more in contribution margin will become available to help cover the
fixed expenses. If a second unit is sold, for example, then the total
contribution margin will increase by $100 (to a total of $200) and the company's
loss will decrease by $100, to $34800. If enough units can be sold to generate
$35,000 in contribution margin, then all of the
fixed costs will be covered and
the company will have managed to at least
break even
for the month-that is to show neither profit nor loss but just cover all of its
costs. To reach the
break even point, the company will have to sell 350 units in
a period, since each unit sold contribute $100 in the contribution margin. This
is shown as follows by the contribution margin format income statement.
Masers A. Q. Asem Private Ltd
Contribution Margin Income Statement
For the month of-------------
Note that the
break even is the level of sales at which profit is
Once the
break even point has been reached, net income will increase by unit
contribution margin by each additional unit sold. For example, if 351 units are
sold during the period then we can expect that the net income for the month will
be $100, since the company will have sold 1 unit more than the number needed to
break even.
This is explained by the following contribution margin income
Masers A. Q.
Asem Private Ltd
Contribution Margin Income Statement
For the month of-------------
If 352 units are sold then we can expect that
net operating income for the
period will be $200 and so forth. To know what the profit will be at various
levels of activity, therefore,
manager do not need to prepare a whole series of
income statements. To estimate the profit at any point above the
break even point, the manager can simply take the number of units to be sold above the
breakeven and multiply that number by the unit contribution margin. The result
represents the anticipated profit for the period. Or to estimate the effect of a
planned increase in sale on profits, the
manager can simply multiply the
increase in units sold by the unit contribution margin. The result will be
expressed as increase in profits. To illustrate it suppose company is currently
selling 400 units and plans to sell 425 units in near future, the anticipated
impact on profits can be calculated as follows:
To summarize these examples, if there were no sales, the company's loss would
equal to its fixed expenses. Each unit that is sold reduces the loss by the
amount of the unit contribution margin. Once the
break even point has been
reached, each additional unit sold increases the company's profit by the amount
of the unit contribution margin.
