Snowe Will Vote Baucus Bill Out Of Committee, Did Insurance Industry Report Force Her Hand?
Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) has announced that she will vote the Baucus health care bill out of the Senate Finance Committee, making her the only Republican to support any health reform measure. Snowe explained that she had "reservations" about the Baucus bill and stressed that her vote would help the reform process move forward.
So is this bill all that I want? Far from it. Is it all that it can be? No. But when history calls, history calls. And I happen to think that the consequences of inaction dictate the urgency of Congress to take every available opportunity to demonstrate its capacity to solve the monumental issues of our time…There are many, many miles to go in this legislative journey….That is why my vote to report this bill out of committee represents. It is to continue working the process. I do it with reservations because I share my Republican colleagues' trepidations about what will transpire on the Senate floor, what will emerge in House and Senate conference and how indeed the Finance Committee's bill will be merged with the HELP bill.
Watch it:
Some have speculated that the recent insurance industry report encouraged Snowe to vote in favor of reform. The insurance industry attacked Snowe's amendments to lower the penalties for Americans who don't meet the requirements of the individual mandate and the senator harshly condemned the industry's conclusions. "It wasn't based on any valid assumptions," she said. Under the legislation, the maximum penalty for a family that does not purchase coverage "would start at $200 in 2014 and rise to $800 in 2017"; people who have to pay more than 8 percent of their adjusted gross income for the cheapest available insurance plan "would not be required to purchase it."
Snowe's status as the only Republican to support health care reform will likely bolster her position at the bargaining table; Democrats will have to maintain Snowe's vote as reform moves froward. Snowe will now be part of the discussions that merge the Finance bill with the HELP bill and conference. Before announcing her vote, Snowe registered her opposition to some Medicare cuts, insisted that the CBO score the final legislative language before the Senate votes on the bill, and argued that the final bill should be posted online so that Americans can review the final legislation.
Snowe preserved her leverage by stressing that her vote in committee does not guarantee that she will vote for the final bill. "I say, my vote today is my vote today. It does not forecast what my vote will be tomorrow."


text: Personally, I think you could od it better. Starting with a good sides - pose. It wasn't easy to draw and you managed to draw it quite well. Same goes to one of the hardest things to draw - fingers Then shades - there aren't much of them, but they're mostly well placed. So this leads us to the things that I think could be better. First her face. You always do very good faces and I had a feeling that style or Rumiko Takahashi is something easy for you. But looking at her eyes, I can't shake of the feeling that she has a squint. Don't you think, she should look at the boot and lace? Then, there are almost no shades at her face. Body is well shaded, hair too, but face is not.

Note that the tabls package does the job automatically, and the booktabs package has a completely different mechanism for dealing with the problem, which obviates the need for manual adjustment.

Knicks 115, Bucks 94: Carmelo Anthony led five players in double figures with 23 points as host New York extended its winning streak to a season-long six games.
Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 20 points off the bench and both J.R. Smith and Amar'e Stoudemire tallied 15 for the Knicks, whose average margin of victory during the surge is 17.8 points. Iman Shumpert rounded out the double-digit scorers with 14 points as New York extended its home winning streak against Milwaukee to five games.
Nate Wolters led the Bucks with 15 points while Brandon Knight - who hit a last-second 3-pointer to defeat the Knicks in the previous meeting last month - had 14. Ramon Sessions also contributed 14 in a reserve role for Milwaukee, which finished off an 0-3 road trip.
New York's lead was eight early in the second before Hardaway drove for a layup to spark a 12-2 run, which he capped with a 3-pointer to make it 49-31. Smith had a putback late in the quarter to help the Knicks gain a 60-42 halftime advantage, as the hosts shot 56.4 percent from the floor and made all 11 of their free throws in the first half.
Smith's 3-pointer in the early moments of the third quarter pushed the margin to 65-42, finishing a 9-0 surge that bridged the halves. The lead ballooned to 25 on several occasions down the stretch as the Knicks coasted, finishing off their sixth straight game with at least 107 points.

What's your style?
Choose seating that fits in with the overall style and mood of your garden.
Formal: The straight lines of heavier more substantial pieces such as a stone bench or a teak Luytens-style loveseat (example shown above) suggests an air of formality.
Informal: Sleek, sophisticated furniture tends to look out of place in informal gardens. Rustic styles such as chairs fashioned out of bent willow, are more at home in a relaxed garden. Traditional designs, such as Muskoka chairs, add to the ambiance of a country- or cottage-style garden.
Modern: Contemporary chairs usually feature clean lines and are often made from man-made elements such as steel, glass and chrome. A traditional style updated with high-tech materials creates a modern, contemporary flair.

On April 5, Walt Disney Records will release TRON: Legacy RECONFIGURED, featuring remixes of selections from the original motion picture soundtrack. The 15-track album was produced by Mitchell Leib, President of Music and Soundtracks for the Walt Disney Studios and Jason Bentley, "TRON: Legacy" Music Supervisor.
TRON: Legacy RECONFIGURED is an eclectic mix of acclaimed DJs, remixers and producers from all points of the globe with their own fresh take on select tracks from the original film score, composed by Daft Punk.

Another highlight on the album is "Fall" which features a collaboration between electronic/dream pop act M83 and Jonathan Bates' Big Black Delta.
From the album's liner notes, Bentley says: "RECONFIGURED now brings the music full circle, assembling some of the leading producers of Dance and Electronic music today to, in the words of Zuse, 'Change the scheme, alter the mood…electrify the boys and girls.' The results are a thrilling collection of biodigital jazz for disco denizens worldwide that pays homage to Daft Punk's own legacy through the modern art of the remix."
Leib adds: "This is the most natural and respectful extension of our TRON soundtrack legacy and one which embraces the electronica club roots of its artistic invention. Now the entire world can dance to the sounds of THE GRID. "
The RECONFIGURED track list follows:
- The Glitch Mob – "Derezzed"
- M83 VS Big Black Delta – "Fall"

I honestly think I've had my worst summer ever!
When I look back over the last 2 months I have the feeling it was fall and not at all summer. I haven't been to the Belgian coast once, haven't been swimming in the sea and I didn't tan.
And what about all the bbq's and summer drinks, where you can sit outside with just a T-shirt on till 1 am?
Except for the 2 holidays, Lisbon and Tuscany, I didn't had a summer feeling at all.
Normally I'm always so happy to spend my summer in Belgium together with my friends and family, but this time it was an all different experience for Ceesie.
Summer 2011 you SUCKED big time!

text: It is dark when I ride to work in the morning. I do everything I can to be as visible as possible - headlight, multiple blinkies, orange mesh vest with reflective strips. I am intrigued by the brilliance of Illuminite products but all I have seen are cool weather outerwear. Here in New Orleans it is hot and humid more than half the year. Except during really cool spells even a light wind vest is too warm. I would really like a mesh vest that I can put on over anything from a t-shirt to raingear year round. The vest I have now is OK, but I would really like to have the all over brilliance of Illuminite. I have not found such a vest. Has anyone seen one or have any ideas where to check?

New Fiesta - Radio Not Turning On Automatically?
Boggsy posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi all Just taken delivery of my new Ford Fiesta Titanium. So far, loving it. However, I notice that the radio does not switch on automatically when the ignition is turned on. I have to turn it on manually. Also, when the ignition is turned off, the radio does not go off automatically, it needs to be turned off manually. Is this normal behaviour? I can't find anything in the owners manual about it. Cheers Ian

Paternity - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The world is waiting for the Awesomes to screw up again, blaming them for the Robotherapist attack. In his office, Dr. Malocchio watches with satisfaction . He receives a scrambled signal from his secret mole within the Awesomes, and takes it in private. The mole says that he or she is getting close to getting the one thing that Malocchio needs, but that they have to proceed carefully to avoid rousing suspicions. Malocchio assures his mole that no one could possibly suspect that a member of the Awesomes is a traitor.
In the streets, Prock tries to explain to the police why Muscleman tore up the streets tracking down a 9-year-old shoplifter. It doesn't go well. Afterward, Prock tries to explain to his friend what he did wrong without calling him a dumb burden, but Muscleman figures that he can just say he's sorry and avoid any consequences. A girl comes up to get Muscleman's autograph, but when he takes the paper the "girl" transforms into an alien with breasts for eyes and informs the hero that he's been served. Prock confirms that it's a subpoena summoning Muscleman to trial in a paternity suit. The alien then teleports Muscleman away as he says "not again."
Back at Awesome Mountain, Concierge checks the database and discovers that the alien is a member of the Gleeborian race. Hotwire asks if it's happened before and Impresario admits that Muscleman has a taste for alien sex. Concierge makes video contact with the Gleeborian authorities and Prock asks for his friend back. They refuse unless he's found innocent, and agree to beam two members of the team to serve as Muscleman's lawyers. Prock wants to go with Hotwire, but Muscleman chooses Impresario and Frantic because he doesn't want to be a burden. The Gleeborians honor Muscleman's choice and teleport Frantic and Impresario to their planet.
As Prock deals with being rejected by his best friend, a level-5 criminal act alert goes off on a bank alarm. When Gadget Gal wonders if Prock trusts them to handle it on their own, he tells Gadget Gal, Sumo, and Hotwire to handle it. Hotwire volunteers to stay with Prock and he gladly accepts. Once they leave, Prock and Hotwire make eyes at each other until Concierge reminds them that she's still there. She goes to make coffee.
On Gleeboria, the Gleeborians take Impresario and Frantic to the courtroom: a talk show stage for a program named
Who's the Daddy
? Muscleman is the first human to come on the show.
At Awesome Mountain, Prock is making a teleporter so he can go to rescue Muscleman. When Hotwire suggests that Impresario and Frantic might rescue him, Prock points out that his teammates have problems when they're not following his instructions. She suggests that they might learn what to do if Prock lets them learn, but he isn't convinced. A few seconds later, Prock finishes the transporter but needs an energy source.
Gadget Gal and Tim go to the bank and the security guard tells them that the robber was an older man dressed like a super-villain. Tim asks what they're going to do next and Gadget Gal complains that he's bothering her with questions. She suggests that they go somewhere that an elderly villain would go to blend in. They go to the nearest bingo hall and Gadget Gal starts looking into the players' eyes to see if she detects villainy. When that doesn't work, Gadget Gal goes up on stage and warns that they don't want to see them mad. She slaps Tim, who transforms into Sumo and causes multiple heart attacks. When he turns back, Tim tells Gadget Gal not to do that again. He says that he has a plan but first they have to leave.
On Gleeboria, Muscleman meets with Globo, the man whose wife he's accused of sleeping with. As Globo explains that the child decides, the guards bring in Impresario and Frantic. Muscleman asks about their escape plans and the guards capture the others, even though they didn't have one. The show is ready to go and the guards take the three heroes to the stage.
When Hotwire asks where he's going to find a power source for the transporter, Prock stops time and wonders whether to tell her about the vault. Muscleman doesn't want him to, but Prock is mad at Muscleman. He decides to tell her, but before he can, Concierge calls to tell him that Gadget Gal and Tim disrupted an old folks' home.
As Gadget Gal and Tim walk through the park and work out what to do next, Tim brings up his Villain Finder app. It shows that there is a villain nearby, but the only person in the area is an old man feeding the pigeons. Gadget Gal realizes that it's her old foe, Birdmaster. Birdmaster recognizes her and removes his coat, revealing his wings. As Tim looks up Birdmaster's history, he sends the nearby birds to attack them and the two heroes are quickly swamped. Birdmaster boasts that he plans to return to a life of crime after having tasted villainy once more.
Hotwire and Prock watch the battle on the monitor and Prock figures that it's time to get involved.
On Gleeboria, the guards tie up Impresario and Frantic with energy bonds and Frantic keeps talking until the guards gag him. The mother comes out with the child in the box and the crowd boos Muscleman. Impresario figures that they need a plan and asks Frantic what they should do. The speedster has an idea but needs to get loose, and Impresario tells him to vibrate fast enough to slip his bonds. Once he does, Frantic starts hitting people, including Muscleman, with folding chairs until the guards taser him unconscious. They tie Frantic back up and Impresario realizes all they can do is hope that Muscleman isn't the father.
On Earth, Tim transforms into Sumo and knocks away the pigeons. Gadget Gal warns him that it will take a real superhero to defeat Birdmaster. Meanwhile, the villain gathers his flock in the sky above. Gadget Gal tries to fire her slingshot at him, but Birdmaster is too far away.
Prock and Hotwire fly to the scene in the Awesomes' old-timey airplane and Prock complains that Gadget Gal is a bad influence on Tim. Hotwire tells him that even though he's the leader, he has to delegate some of his work. As Prock thanks her for being so nice, Birdmaster's flock flies into them.
At the show, the mother releases her child... which looks suspiciously like Muscleman. Muscleman tries to ignore it but his fatherly instincts kick in. Impresario tries to work out how to save the day, and Frantic suggests that he use trickery. After thanking his teammate for being so smart, Impresario creates an image of Muscleman behind Globo to attract the baby that way. The baby jumps into Globo's arms trying to get to the fake Muscleman, and the guards release all three heroes. Meanwhile, the host ends the show in the traditional manner: having the baby eat the father. Muscleman says that it's time to go.
Sumo gets an idea, grabs a nearby water hose, and creates a makeshift slingshot. He then shoots Gadget Gal at Birdmaster. She grabs the villain, disrupting the birds' attack, and plummets toward the ground below holding onto Birdmaster. Sumo catches them and Gadget Gal gives him a kiss of thanks on the cheek just as he transform back into a disgusted Tim. Prock and Hotwire arrive and Gadget Gal admits that Tim impressed her. She takes Tim off to get a milkshake and Hotwire tells Prock that sometimes the team doesn't need him.
Prock still thinks that the others are going to get in trouble. They transport down and Frantic boasts that he now has an agent on Gleeboria. Muscleman announces that Frantic and Impresario saved him, and Prock apologizes for what he said about Muscleman earlier. His friend assures him that it's fine, and says that he'll be giving up alien sex from now on so he can serve as a role model and a hero. Unfortunately, he's interrupted when Frantic calls a press conference to announce that his alien agent has set him up for the Miss Global Beauty Pageant, as a judge.

Here's a fun way to start the week. Orlando Florida-based animator Bob Duane took artist Kevin Kidney's paper puppet of Annette Funicello - a "Golden Horseshoe Revue Annette" version - and animated it!
Duane a big fan of the Bill Justice/X. Atencio paper work for Disney and made this whimsical little performance to help draw more attention to the Annette Funicello Fund. All her moves are copied from Annette's actual choreography from a 1962 TV performance.
I don't know what it is, but there is something about Annette's voice that's just perfect for paper-cut-out animation.

Just what I needed, and the YouTube video made installation very easy. It could only be improved if it would accept an iPhone 4 in a cover, but I'm not complaining.
Posted by Unknown on 14th Nov 2013
This is a great mount for your iphone if you're running extra gauges from your iphone. You can set it up for portrait or landscape. Thank you Craven Speed!

There is no really good place to place your iPhone5, then this came along. It's expensive but works. However they need to mention that if you install a film/screen protector it will damage it, I bought the expensive ZAGG brand front and back film and both sides were bit by the holder. Also the earphone jack is too close to the mount and you cannot get all shapes in, it must be very skinny.
Posted by Unknown on 7th Jun 2013
The only thing that prevents this from getting 5 stars from me is that the phone holder itself doesn't accommodate any type of case or protective cover for the iPhone. That would be a nice option, since these are expensive phones and just about everyone puts on a protective covering (such as Otterbox).
Another area where it could be improved, would be to add cable routing clips onto the bracket arm (just a suggestion).

I installed the MINI iPhone Fixie Mount in my R59 (Roadster). Installation was easy except I dropped one of the tach mounting screws into my dash. Luckily it dropped out the bottom. If you have a magnetic screwdriver I recommend using that to avoid the panic of losing a screw.
The mount is nice and solid. If I could make two changes they would be:
1. Closer to the steering wheel so I can reach the phone screen without removing my hand from the wheel.
2. 31 Pin connector on the bottom or a cable attachment for my 31 pin extension cable.
Posted by Unknown on 10th Apr 2013
The mount is made well and lined up perfectly, the install was super simple. The one minor inconvenience I found was the bottom left of the mount was too close to the headphone jack so it made it impossible to plug an RCA cable into. I trimmed the mount and all is well.

Olympic opportunity
China | As the 2008 games bring attention to China, activists hope to shine a spotlight on the country's human-rights abuses
China expects to spend $40 billion on Olympic venues and infrastructure-more than any host before it. Architectural wonders are sprouting around Beijing: the Bird's Nest, a 91,000-seat stadium; the Egg, a domed theater; and the Water Cube, a swimming venue named for its water-drop-effect windows. Human- and political-rights groups, though, are anticipating an Olympic-sized platform to air their grievances. They are portraying Olympic rings as handcuffs and launching torch relays to commemorate mass slaughter.
One such protest began in the early hours of Aug. 7. Melanie Raoul and fellow activists went to the Great Wall of China carrying backpacks stuffed with rope, anchors, and harnesses. Two Canadians, one Briton, and three Americans all wanted to arrive early, around 7 a.m., before the crowds came. Two positioned themselves at ground level with a video camera pointed up, in order to film what happened next.
The six are volunteers for Students for a Free Tibet (SFT), a U.S.-based group that demands Tibet's independence from China. They planned the morning months ahead, strategizing carefully-one day ahead of Beijing's festive ceremony to begin the countdown to 8/8/08-the opening day of the XXIX Olympic Games and a date chosen because three eights are thought to bring good luck in Chinese culture. The activists hoped for maximum media attention.
With two in the group acting as supports on the wall, Raoul and fellow Vancouver native Sam Price slipped on their harnesses, grabbed two ends of a 25-by-18-foot banner and rappelled down until it unfurled, some 50 feet above the ground: "One World, One Dream, Free Tibet in 2008," the banner read in English and Chinese.
Raoul and Price hung on the Great Wall with their banner unfurled for almost an hour. Hearing of the silent protest, uniformed and plainclothes police officers rushed to the wall. They shouted up at the group and threatened to cut their ropes. After an hour the four agreed to come down, along with their sign, if they were not separated during certain detention.
The six spent the next 30 hours in detention at Beijing's central police station. Raoul said they suffered no harm, but police interrogated them under bright lights and told them-incorrectly-that their respective embassies wanted no contact with them.
Students for a Free Tibet is just one of an eclectic group of human-rights organizations determined to turn next year's Olympics into a spotlight on Chinese repression.
As the six launched their protest, elsewhere in Beijing SFT's U.S. director, Lhadon Tethong, was on the prowl. She blogged about the group's activities, buttonholed the International Olympic Committee's chairman, Jacques Rogge, and watched Tibetan performers at the National Ethnic Minorities Park, located directly across from the Olympic village. It was once identified as "Racist Park" on a badly translated road sign.
Minorities in the park area are "a sick display," Tethong said, dancing and educating visitors as part of what she called the government's "colonial idea of 'here are our happy minorities.'"
Police had trailed Tethong for days and detained her Aug. 8, just as she made her way to Tiananmen Square to watch countdown preparations. Officials deported her the next day, escorting her right up to the plane. Raoul and her fellow Great Wall protesters also were deported and put on the same flight. The group's release seemed timed for after the countdown festivities ended. "They didn't want us to be released before that, because we'd have an opportunity to push even harder," Raoul said.
With the whole group reunited, relief set in. On the plane, Raoul picked up a copy of the Hong Kong--based South China Morning Post, which carried a photograph of the banner. She smiled: Mission accomplished.
Other activists also hung their protests on the one-year countdown. Darfur activists have increasingly fingered China for prolonging a Khartoum-driven humanitarian crisis by investing heavily in Sudan's economy and its oil reserves. Four miles west of the Darfur border in neighboring Chad, actress-activist Mia Farrow lit the first torch of an anti-genocide relay that will run until December and draw attention to China's connection to Sudan.
The relay is organized by Dream for Darfur, a new Olympics-inspired group that aims to lobby China to use its leverage over Sudan to end the conflict in the Darfur region. Big-name advisors include Farrow, NBA basketball player Ira Newble, and Smith College Sudan expert Eric Reeves (see "Too little, too late," Aug. 18).
The modified relay-with torch lightings in select cities, but no runners-also is touring other sites of genocide. In Kigali, Rwanda, a grim-faced Farrow with lit torch led genocide survivors on a symbolic death march Aug. 15. More sobering stops are planned in Armenia this month and in Bosnia the next.
The international relay will likely end in Hong Kong, about as close to the Chinese mainland as possible. Organizers hope to have a mobile exhibit commemorating the 1937 Nanjing massacre, when invading Japanese soldiers raped, killed, and looted the old city.
In late July, another Darfur activist, 2006 Olympic speed-skating champion Joey Cheek, and a Darfuri refugee walked up to the Chinese Embassy on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, D.C. Carrying two hefty binders of petitions, Cheek rang the front door buzzer.
Then he waited. Five, 10 minutes passed as he wondered about the delay: His group, the Save Darfur Coalition, called ahead a day earlier to inform the embassy of his visit. At last after waiting 35 minutes, the door opened and an official ushered him into the lobby, leaving his friend outside.
As they stood in the lobby, the official listened to Cheek's little speech asking China to help civilians in Darfur, as a staffer took notes in the background. The official accepted the binders and said he hoped Cheek and others would not "politicize" the Olympics.
In all, the meeting took seven or eight minutes. "There was no tea for me," Cheek joked.
Cheek grew interested in Darfur activism after years of seeing its crisis reported on the news, particularly as he traveled in Europe. Last year he donated his Olympic bonus to help Darfuri children, and since then he has given speeches and allied with big-tent advocacy groups such as Save Darfur.
For all their earnestness, however, such advocacy efforts are unlikely to prompt China to reform. Such campaigns "won't change whether they'll hold the Olympics in China or whether they'll get oil in Darfur," says China expert Joseph Grieboski, president of the Institute on Religion and Public Policy. Those are the bread-and-butter issues China cares about. And though China may fret about its image, he thinks Beijing is winning the public-relations battle. "The Chinese are thinking about these things six, seven, nine steps ahead of the rest of the world."
Asked how Beijing views Olympics advocacy campaigns critical of China, cordial embassy spokesman Wang Baodong said China has made "undeniable" progress in protecting human rights.
"Of course, China, like any other country in the world, is not perfect," he told WORLD. "The Chinese government always welcomes constructive criticism from all parties for the shortcomings in its work. But we do not accept irresponsible allegations or groundless slandering."
Many human-rights monitors might disagree with Wang: If anything, they say, China has stepped up abuses in order to "clean up" Beijing before the Olympics. Since February, for example, China has expelled some 100 foreign missionaries and has restricted local Christians, hoping to tamp down on evangelism. Christians who help desperate North Korean refugees say China has tightened its Korean border, making escape harder.
For now, China wants to prove it can stage an Olympics show as spectacular as any Western nation's. Tethong and others are already in tandem, plotting their protests for next year. They may not dent China's abuses, Grieboski said, but "Olympic athletes from Asia, Latin America, Africa coming to Beijing, may have a new awareness that they might not otherwise have."

It's tempting to save all your documents to OneDrive for Business. The link to your OneDrive for Business library is always sitting there at the top of the page, ready for you to upload or create a document from OneDrive for Business. However, you also need to think about who can and can't access the documents you save to OneDrive for Business. If a document is a collaborative effort related to a project, then saving it to a team site might be a better choice. . This article provides some guidelines to help you decide which route to go.
Save documents to OneDrive for Business when…
OneDrive for Business is a place where you can store files from your computer into the cloud, and access them from any device, or share them with others. store, sync, and share your work files. As part of Office 365 or SharePoint Server, OneDrive for Business lets you update and share your files from anywhere and work on Office documents with others at the same time.
You don't plan to share them.
Documents you place in OneDrive for Business are private by default, unless you place them in the Shared with Everyone folder. This makes OneDrive for Business your best option for draft documents or personal documents that no one else needs to see.
You plan to share them, but they have a limited scope or lifecycle.
You may sometimes work on documents that aren't related to an ongoing project, which are important mostly to you, but that you still want to share. For example, perhaps you're writing an article to appear in a blog, and you'd like to ask selected colleagues to review and edit it before you post it. In this case, you expect people to use the document once and then be done with it. People don't need any additional context information, or need to know where in particular you're keeping the document. All they need is a link to the document and editing permission.
You can't identify an existing team site where your document belongs, and you don't think the purpose of the document warrants creating a new one.
Save documents to a team site library when…
A SharePoint team site is a place that users can collaborate on files, documents, and ideas. It is set up to facilitate two way communication between team members. SharePoint offers a full compliment of document libraries, as well as task lists, calendars, workflows, wikis, and other features that help a team communicate and collaborate.
You want team members to recognize the document as being relevant to an ongoing project.
You want to spread ownership and permissions across a wider collection of people. If a document is important to the success of a project, it's a good idea for there to be people other than yourself who can control what happens on the site.
You want permissions to be granted on a site basis, instead of on individual documents. If people have access to the team site, then they have access to documents stored in the site.
Other project-related documents are already saved to the team site library, and others expect to find it there.
You want to create a check-in workflow that assigns the document to someone else.
If you have a small business, it's ideal to set up your file storage and sharing so you use OneDrive for Business and your Office 365 team site together. Check out this tutorial on customizing your team site. It includes steps for how you can promote your team site so your team members can quickly navigate back and forth between their OneDrive for Business folder and your Office 365 team site.
Moving document from OneDrive for Business to team sites
Sometimes individual documents grow in importance and become relevant to a project. When that happens, it may make sense to move them from OneDrive for Business to a team site.
Moving a document from OneDrive for Business to a team site library is a manual operation. You can either copy or cut and paste the document. The easiest way to move files between libraries is to use Explorer. In the library, click the Library tab, and then choose Open with Explorer.
Here's a short training video that demonstrates moving documents:
Troubleshoot moving documents from OneDrive for Business
There are a couple of issues to keep in mind when moving documents from OneDrive for Business to a team site library:
Hyperlinks to the original document stop working, because you've deleted the document in OneDrive for Business. You may want to share the document you moved to the team site to give people on the site an updated, working link.
If people followed the original document, links in their newsfeed to that document will stop working. To restore this association, people will need to follow the document in its new location.
You might want to replace the original document in OneDrive for Business with one that simply gives a link to the new file, and announces the new location.

Congress on steroids
A new national villain of the hour: steroids
Before Congress McGwire cries, takes the Fifth; Bud Selig pops out of the ground and sees his shadow; what's Curt Schilling running for?
Random impressions from a misspent afternoon watching CSPAN on Thursday:
- The committee did not think much of baseball's new testing program, which beneath the public back-slapping allows the commissioner to levy a nominal fine ($10,000) and make no public mention of failed steroid tests.
- No Congressional hearing into any fresh public scourge is complete without a few bodies, and toward that end the committee featured prominently the testimony of two families, the Garibaldis and the Hootons, whose sons had committed suicide after falling into steroid use. Their stories hung over the whole hearing like great black pinatas full of grief--and publicity--and practically everyone who testified took repeated swings at them.
- The committee did not, however, address the question of why it was approaching the problem of youth and amateur steroid abuse by putting Major League Baseball stars front and center. It's probably just coincidence that Congress also tried, and failed, to pass a budget containing massive health-care-spending cuts on the same day.
- Mark McGwire's presence was the most dramatic. McGwire arrived having been implicated in a New York Daily News investigation last Sunday. After getting teary and quavery twice, first over the families with dead sons and later at the gratuitous mention of his own charitable work, McGwire basically took the Fifth without using those words. He said it would be wrong to rat out his past colleagues and he wouldn't do so. It was one of the few dignified moments of the hearing. And then McGwire seemed to absent himself and go to his special place. For the rest of the day, he worked the same mantra into every subsequent non-response: I'm retired, I'm not here to talk about the past, I'm just so positive I could shit. He'll be tarnished by these hearings more than anyone else, and you could see he knew it from the start.
- Minnesota's own Republican fireplug Gil Gutknecht was entirely obsessed with wiping proven steroid cheaters from the record books and restoring the heroes of old. He repeatedly invoked the names of Harmon Killebrew and Roger Maris and asked both the players panel and the owners/union panel to declare themselves in favor of expunging batting records won with the help of steroids. Question, Gil: What about presidencies won through cheating? Where do we go to expunge those records?
- Gaffes: Of the players who read their own statements, only McGwire could pronounce every word in his. Curt Schilling choked on "vehemently" (vuh-HEE-mently), Rafael Palmeiro on "tyranny" (TY-runny). But the best moment came when a male GOP rep whose name I didn't get called Sammy Sosa "Mr. So-so."
- Curt Schilling is going into politics, and he's going to be pretty good at it. He's smart, he's charming, he's cagey. As for the others, Sosa and McGwire slipped quickly behind dumb-jock masks. But in Rafael Palmeiro's case, it was no mask--the shoes you're wearing today are at least as smart as Raffi.
- Some links: These columns, by Dan Shaughnessy, Mike Lupica, and Tim Sullivan, pretty much sum up the conventional wisdom of the sports pundits about the hearings and especially regarding McGwire. Here's the NYT's summary of the hearing itself. And here's the CSPAN links page, with more video of the event than any sane person would watch.

A summit of the European Union's 27 national leaders, charged with agreeing on a long-term budget for the bloc, broke up Friday afternoon without being able to reach a deal.
Coming just days after the 17 eurogroup finance ministers failed, yet again, to agree on the conditions for releasing badly needed bailout money for Greece, the failure of the two-day summit raises questions about how the bloc makes important decisions. In most cases, unanimity is required, meaning that each country wields veto power.
The EU's top officials, who put in long hours trying to soften up the national leaders individually before putting them together in the same meeting room, tried to put a brave face on the budget deadlock.
European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, who presides over the summits, said the constructive discussions'' at the summit meant an agreement could be reached early next year. He added that the national leaders had instructed him and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso to continue working toward consensus over the coming weeks.
Barroso, too, called the talks constructive. But he added, we are not yet at the point of reaching consensus.''
The prospect of failure had hung over the EU leaders' summit, charged with agreeing on a long-term spending plan of around (euro) 1 trillion ($1.25 trillion) for the 27- country bloc, even before the meeting began.
Some countries wanted the budget to rise, while others insisted it had to fall.
Van Rompuy tried to thread the needle. He proposed a budget with some cuts, but in a post-summit press conference, he also offered a nod to those countries who believe greater spending is essential to spur growth in countries hit by recession.
Growth in one country benefits all,'' he said.
British Prime Minister David Cameron, the most vocal proponent of holding the line on EU spending, said he had found "strong allies'' in the Dutch and Swedish leaders. And, indeed, it appeared that some countries, including Germany, took pains to ensure that Britain a country some fear may eventually withdraw from the EU did not find itself isolated.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte stressed that it was important that Britain remain engaged'' with Europe because Britain is important to the EU as a whole.''
For his part, Cameron was firm. The deal on the table from the EU President was just

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.- The University of Alabama football team capped its first day of classes with a two-and-a-half hour practice Wednesday afternoon in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts and also introduced its game plan for the season opener against Hawai`i.
"We started our first day practice-wise, in preparation for Hawaii," Alabama head coach Mike Shula said. "We introduced the scout teams. We split the practice into Hawaii preparation and still got some practice against ourselves. We will do that throughout the year.
"We had some of the other guys (walk-ons join the team today)," Shula added. "They have a five day orientation period, so the first couple of days they will have to be in helmets and jerseys only. I think by Sunday they will be ready to go full time. Most of them will be on the scout team."
Alabama will practice again Thursday at 4:20 p.m. at the Thomas Drew practice fields. The Crimson Tide will hold its "mock game" at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Friday and the players and coaches will enjoy their only off day of the preseason on Saturday. Alabama resumes its normal game-week routine Sunday, August. 27 with a 4 p.m. practice.
The Crimson Tide opens the 2006 season against Hawai`i September 2 in the newly renovated Bryant-Denny Stadium. The game will be televised on a pay-per-view basis with kickoff set for 6:07 p.m. (CT).

Sebi tweaks rules to allow FII entry in infra funds
Jan 21 2013 , Mumbai
IDFC, IIFCL, Srei plan schemes to cash in on easier regulations
Amending the rules on Friday Sebi widened the definition of strategic investors to include FIIs and non-banking financial institutions (NBFCs) registered with RBI.
A total of 1,758 FIIs are registered with Sebi. They include big firms like Fidelity and Blackstone and foreign pension funds managing retirement funds of big companies such as Rolls-Royce, IBM, British Petroleum and Unilever.
Three IDFs that have received Sebi approval — IDFC, IIFCL and Srei — can now roll out schemes to gain from the easier rules, industry officials say.
Other changes in rules include an up to two-year extension of the scheme beyond the original tenure if two-thirds of its investors by value consent. Besides, a new fund offer can now be open for 45 days, instead of 15 days so far.
Success of IDFs is important as India plans to spend $1trillion in the next five years, of which 40 per cent is expected to come from the private sector.
Himanshu Pandya, vice president and products head of ICICI Prudential AMC, said a good number of FIIs would become eligible to invest in IDFs. "After the changes in the rules, the salability and marketability of the schemes have improved a big way," he said. ICICI Prudential AMC filed a draft document to launch its IDF on November 2 last year.
Hemant Kanoria, CMD of Srei Infrastructure Finance, said his company received the Sebi approval to launch an IDF last November. He said the move to allow FIIs to invest in IDFs would be good for the IDF as well as mutual fund industry.
A senior IIFCL official told Financial Chronicle that it planned to launch its IDF in March. "Sebi has asked for certain conditions to be met in terms of software and IT infrastructure. We are setting them up," the official said. Initially it would be a Rs 1,500 crore fund. "We are in touch with some deep players like SBI, PFC and Srei Infrastructure as strategic partners," he said.
Some mutual funds that have filed draft documents for IDFs with Sebi are Birla Sun Life, Reliance Mutual Fund, SBI AMC, L&T Mutual Fund, Axis Mutual Fund and IDBI Mutual Fund. The minimum investment in an IDF is Rs 1 crore. The scheme is aimed at big investors.

Lawmakers OK college tuition, meth, voucher, drug testing measures
The end of the Indiana legislative session for 2013 looms and state lawmakers are scrambling to finish business, notably a two-year budget for 2014 and 2015.
That's not the only thing, though. Here's a glance at some notable issues facing lawmakers:
Tuition for undocumented immigrants:Senate Bill 207, passed by the Indiana House last Monday, April 15, in a 70-23 vote, was returned to the Senate with amendments for reconciliation. The Senate approved the measure 35-15 on Feb. 26.
The bill would let undocumented immigrants who were enrolled in a public college here as of July 1, 2011, pay the lower in-state tuition rate, partially reversing a 2011 measure making all undocumented immigrants pay the higher non-resident rate.
Among the contingent serving Elkhart County, Sens. Carlin Yoder, Joe Zakas and Ryan Mishler all voted for the measure. They're all Republicans and Yoder is one of the bill's co-authors.
In the House, Reps. Tim Wesco, Rebecca Kubacki and David Ober voted for the measure. Reps. Neese and Culver voted against it. All five are Republicans.
Drug testing of public assistance recipients: House Bill 1483, which calls for drug testing of recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits in certain circumstances, passed in the Senate 38-12 on April 10. It passed in the Indiana House on Feb. 25 in a 78-17 vote and now it's the focus of reconciliation.
Per the Senate version of HB 1483, those suspected of drug use based on new required screening would be subject to random drug testing as a condition of receiving TANF benefits, according to the Indianapolis Star.
Those who fail could continue to receive benefits, but they'd be required to get treatment. Benefits would stop for three months if they tested positive for drug use, among other stipulations.
Supporters see it as a way of getting drug abusers into treatment while foes have noted few resources to provide affordable drug treatment programs for those impacted.
TANF is cash assistance geared to low-income families with kids.
All five representatives and three senators representing Elkhart County voted for it
School vouchers: The Indiana Senate approved House Bill 1003, which would expand the state's school voucher program, in a 27-23 vote last week. Now lawmakers from the House and Senate are working on a compromise version.
The House approved a version in a 57-36 vote on Feb. 21.
The Senate version, scaled-back compared to the House version, according to the Associated Press, would let siblings of students getting vouchers qualify for the program, which provides public funds for families sending their kids to private schools. It would raise the value of each voucher by $200, from $4,500 to $4,700, far below the expansion proposed by the House to $6,500. The House version would eliminate the one-year period students must wait before being eligible for the voucher while the Senate version would axe the waiting period only for those attending "failing" schools.
In the House, Culver, Kubacki, Ober, Wesco voted for HB 1003 and Neese voted against it. In the Senate, Yoder and Zakas voted for it while Mishler voted no.
Methamphetamine: A measure tightening restrictions on ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, key ingredients in meth, passed with strong support in the House, 44-4, and the Senate 91-1.
Senate Bill 496 sets annual limits on how much ephedrine or pseudoephedrine may be sold to individuals in a year's time, 61.2 grams, among other things. The aim is to hamper access to the drug among those who use it to make meth.
All Elkhart County representatives voted for the measure but Culver, who was excused from the House vote. The three senators serving Elkhart County voted for it.

Fearing that exit of global energy majors may hit the January auction of oil and gas blocks, the Oil Ministry is desperately trying to dissuade BHP Billiton from exiting by offering partnership with state-owned ONGC.
BHP Billiton Ltd, the world's largest miner, in October said it has exited nine out of its 10 oil and gas exploration projects in India as it could not start operations for want of defence approval.
Also, Australia's Santos wants to exit its two exploration blocks in Bay of Bengal as it hasn't been able to start work due to maritime boundary dispute with Bangladesh and defence restrictions.
Aranane Giridhar, Joint Secretary (Exploration) in the Oil Ministry said the government is trying to convince BHP to stay invested in the country and it will try to remove impediments.
"BHP left country not because of Oil Ministry. It left because of sacrosanct defence establishments that have to be protected. Santos left because of maritime dispute with Bangladesh not because of Oil Ministry," Giridhar said.
"We are talking to them... We are trying to work out something that we can give them," he told reporters on the sidelines of the 12th Petro-India 2013 conference here.
One option being mulled is to allow Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) to buy a majority stake in the blocks and let the state-owned firm take over the job of getting the approvals, he said.
"The idea is that they (BHP) retain 20 or 25 per cent stake in the blocks," he said.
BHP has given a notice for relinquishing nine exploration blocks it was awarded between 2008 and 2010 under the New Exploration and Licensing Policy (NELP) after it failed to secure clearance from the Defence Ministry.
It wants to exit the 6 Mumbai basin blocks it was awarded with GVK in the seventh round of NELP in 2008 and three blocks areas it had won in NELP-VIII round.
Giridhar said the defence ministry hasn't put a "no-go" restriction on the blocks but has only told BHP that it should come to it before building a permanent structure in the offshore.
Asked if the Defence Ministry could at that stage deny permission for putting any structure to aid production of oil and gas, he said, "that won't be."
For a sector already grappling with regulatory issues and lack of pricing and marketing freedom, pullout by BHP and Santos ahead of

Tallahassee, FL-- Paul Brewer works for the Department of Transportation. Like many Americans, he is already fed up with the cuts that could be passed down by the federal government.
"A person could only take so much abuse as a state worker and we've basically had enough," said Paul Brewer, a State Worker.
As the clock ticks down, a Tallahassee-based state union is standing up against the cuts.
"Taking from the middle class and the seniors and we are just devastated," said Jeanette Wynn, President of the AFSCME Council 79. "We are going to continue to lobby the legislators, they only have three more days to go and we hope that somebody wakes up."
In Florida, Teachers and schools will lose more than $50 million in funding for primary and secondary education.
Public health will lose $1.8 million in funds to help research new infectious diseases. Department of Defense will let go 31,000 employees.
In Georgia, schools will lose $20 million in funding for primary and secondary education. The Department of Defense will give 37,000 employees unpaid leave. Senior meals would be able to serve 4 million fewer meals.
The links below give an in-depth and detailed look at the cuts throughout Florida and Georgia.

So I've noticed a consistent problem I get with my cranksets, and I was wondering if this is just a "bad mechanic" issue or if other Clydes are encountering similar issues with a square taper crank.
Cranks: FSA Vero, and Sugino XD700
Bottom Bracket: Shimano UN54
Issue: Click/creak when placing full weight on cranks at horizontal position, then shifting cranks 180 degrees to opposite horizontal, as though there is play at the taper interface. Problem is not loose crank bolts; bolts are at or above torque spec.
I talked to some of the LBS shop geeks who work on clyde rides, and after checking my crankbolts with a torque wrench one of the wrenches suggested that I may have consistently over-torqued my crankbolts and bottomed out the taper so it cannot lock fully any longer. This is a distinct possibility, as I don't own a torque wrench and just sort of Sasquatched the bolts on there when replacing the original cranks, and have re-tightened things since the install. The other possibility is that my size and persistant stand-and-hammer hill assaults just warp the taper interface on the crank, and I've run out of taper to tighten it down on.
Do other big riders using square taper cranks find they're getting loosening issues at the taper interface? Am I just being a bad mechanic and overtightening that bolt, or am I being an overly abusive rider and wrecking that taper interface? Maybe a little bit of both?

It has been well documented that the PlayStation 3 version of The Orange Box is the weakest of all its incarnations. Many PS3 owners that were looking forward to the value packed game were upset when they discovered the multitude of bugs and bad coding that lead to this inferior version of the game.
Furthermore, the same fans soon voiced their opinions on the official Valve forums and even caught the attention of Valve employee "BurtonJ", prompting him to respond user criticism of the game.
"I hope that we will be able to correct any major issues in the future," he stated. Indeed, this slightly ambiguous statement has lead many to believe that the firm is planning on releasing a patch to fix the issues currently plaguing the game.
Although Valve is the brains behind the game, users should keep in mind that it isn't entirely the company's fault, as the PS3 port was in fact handed over to EA London. However, because it is still Valve's brainchild, it is most certainly in the developer's best interests to keep the quality of its most-popular franchise as high as possible. Stay tuned for any new updates on The Orange Box patch situation.
The Orange Box is a video game compilation produced and published by Valve, which contains Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. The PlayStation 3 version was released on December 11, 2007 in North America and in Europe. Stay tuned for any new updates on The Orange Box patch situation.

On a recent visit to the Goose Island production brewery on Fulton Street in Chicago, I marveled at the barrel room. Row upon row of racks stacked with wine and whiskey barrels beckoned me to sample. Labels with hand-written brewer's notes tempted me with seductive names like Juliet, Sofie, and Lolita. My heart raced as I read ingredients like "brett", "lacto" and cherries. Sadly, their contents went untasted.
Last night I opened a bottle of the fruit of these barrels (and fruit is the appropriate word here), Madame Rose. Goose Island calls the beer a Flemish Brown Ale. After an initial fermentation in stainless, the beer is transferred into wine barrels for a long fermentation with wild yeasts and acid-producing bacteria. 40-pounds of cherries are added to every barrel.
Here's my notes:
Madame Rose
Goose Island Brewing Company, Chicago, Illinois
Style: Flemish Brown Ale
Serving Style: 750 ml Bottle
Aroma: Blush wine and balsamic vinegar. Tart cherry fruitiness with almond highlights. Earthy, mossy, woody. Brings to mind the smell of fresh cedar mulch.
Appearance: Light brown and clear. Small carbonation bubbles and color make this resemble champagne. Off-white head does not persist.
Flavor: Mouthwatering tart cherry. Vinous red wine vinegar combined with complex lingering malt flavors. Dark plums. Light almond, wood, and floral notes complete the picture. Finish is dry and light.
Mouthfeel: Light body, but with a velvety chewiness. Refreshing. Spritzy.
Overall Impression: Complex without being complicated. Delicate and delightful. This beer falls somewhere between a Kriek and a Flemish Brown. It has the residual malt character of a brown and the tart-cherry fruit of a Kriek. Less funky than a lambic, but funkier than an Oud Bruin.

George Zaidan, you're obviously not.mechanically minded. The anti roll bar failure changes the balance of the car continually, meaning sometimes the car will be putting less load one side than the other.That makes the car unstable and can lead to continual brake locking. Some corners he was braking 10/15 metres earlier than he had been and still locked up.

Med City: A Beginner's Rochester Guide
If you like surprises, the city of Rochester, otherwise known as Med City, is sure to delight. For a city of 100,000 it has a decidedly metropolitan feel. Perhaps that's because it hosts 2.7 million annual visitors, many who come from all over the world for care at Mayo Clinic. Take a look at our Rochester guide for a little more local information…
This bustling city on the prairie lies on the banks of the Zumbro River and has a history of innovation, attracting some of the brightest minds in medicine, computer engineering, architecture, and more. The city's forward thinking extends to its expertly designed subway and skyway system, which makes pedestrian travel a breeze. Below the streets, are wide, airy corridors where people can walk, shop, and dine. Two floors above, the skyways offer the same - a two-and-a-half-mile system that means you don't have to step foot outside, which is especially nice when the snow flies.
Bikers, walkers, and runners of all abilities flock to the city's 85 miles of paved trails. The Quarry Hill Nature Center and Silver Lake Park offer additional outdoor opportunities for hiking, boating, bird watching, kayaking, and more.
If the architecture and origins of the area interest you, satisfy your need-to-know at The History Center of Olmsted County. Explore Mayo's strong local history by touring Mayowood Mansion, Plummer House, and Assisi Heights. Mayowood is a 3,000-acre estate atop a wooded hillside and the former home of Mayo co-founder Dr. Charles H. Mayo. Another famous Mayo physician, Dr. Charles Plummer, was the mastermind behind the Plummer House, built in 1917, which includes many stunning innovations that remain in working order. Assisi Heights is home to the Sisters of St. Francis who founded St. Marys Hospital, now part of Mayo Clinic. It offers beautifully landscaped grounds and Italian Romanesque architecture.
For a lively history lesson, garden or romantic night tour, the Rochester Trolley & Tour Company is the ticket. Depending on the time of year, you might even be able to board the haunted Rochester or holiday lights tour.
Shoppers like the city for its brand name retail stores and local shops with everything from eclectic finds to specialty, high-end products. Explore Apache Mall or the Shops at University Square. Go antiquing or hoof it among the downtown shops.
And when your palate prompts, Rochester pleases with an array of international, upscale, and casual dining options. But what the city is really famous for is its rich, tangy, mouth-watering barbeque joints like John Hardy's Bar-B-Que and Roscoe's Barbeque.
Partnering with Delta allows us to connect you to and from a selection of destinations across the United States and Canada, making it even simpler to book flights to Rochester.
