A 15-year-old girl had a cough of 2½ weeks' duration and gradual onset of dyspnea and tachypnea. Physical examination disclosed the following values: oral body temperature, 38.9 °C; respirations, 30/min; pulse rate, 120 beats per minute; and BP, 90/60 mm Hg, with a paradoxical pulse of 20 to 40 mm Hg. There were bilateral pulmonary basilar rales, muffled heart sounds, and an enlarged tender liver that extended 4 cm below the right costal margin. Chest roentgenograms were obtained (Figure).

Anaerobic Pyopneumopericardium
Roentgenograms of chest in upright posteroanterior (left) and lateral (right) projections show enlarged cardiac silhouette with pericardial air-fluid level.Purulent pericarditis with substantial cardiac dysfunction was suspected, and a pericardial drain was inserted. Culture of both the pericardial fluid and blood yielded Peptostreptococcus and Bacteroides fragilis, both anaerobic organisms. Despite initial improvement with the aid of antibiotics, there were subsequent signs of cardiac tamponade and the

Anthem BCBS, Franciscan Alliance to launch ACO in April
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Indiana and Franciscan Alliance, a 13-hospital health system, have joined to form an accountable care organization (ACO), Anthem's first in the state. The ACO, which launches on April 1, seeks to improve efficiency, collaboration, and patient health for its 63,000 members.
Physicians will continue to oversee patient care, including monitoring patient health between visits and ensuring follow up services are provided, while the insurer will pay for the care and share savings received when a patient remains healthy. The expected results are more efficient resource use, lower costs, and increased productivity.
In California, an Anthem-affiliated health plan has seen an increase in some patient preventative screenings and appropriate antibiotic prescription within the first year of its ACO formation.
"This is Anthem's first commercial ACO partnership in Indiana, and we are very excited that closer collaboration with Franciscan will improve the health of our members and make health care more affordable," said Robert W. Hillman, President of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Indiana, in a public statement.

Have you ever tried getting your hands on an old manual for your car or truck? Manufacturer manuals and repair guides can be invaluable tools to your restoration project or repair, but finding the right manual can sometimes be hard. The library is the cheapest place to start, but if you are not in a large metropolitan area with large libraries, you probably will only have books on newer cars. Besides, you won't own the manual anyways, and your restoration project will likely take longer than the 3 weeks you can check the book out.
Many manuals and shop books have been reprinted for older models over the years. They can easily be found on eBay or Amazon, or visit your local bookstore and they can likely order it for you. Be careful what you are ordering though, sometimes it is actually a scanned copy of the manual on CD or DVD only, which you need to view on your computer or print out hundreds of pages if you really want a hard copy. With rarer manuals, this may be your only option, especially if the book has never been reprinted.
To do a proper search in eBay or Amazon, type in a year, manufacturer, and model + "manual" or "repair manual". An example is "1969 AMC Javelin repair manual". If this does not pull anything up, remove the model so it is "1969 AMC repair manual", and you will likely find a manual covering multiple models that will fit your need.
1) www.eBay.com - eBay is on par with Amazon, but you're likely to find newer reprinted versions and/or cd-roms. You can still find original prints sometimes. Use the search box below or click the link above to go to eBay.
2) www.books4cars.com/ - If you find a website with more books and manufacturers than this site, you need to let me know because I don't think there is. Alex has over 300 auto manufacturers to choose from, and ALL have inventory. Some sites I visit have hundreds of manufacturer sections to choose from, with most empty. Alex has been collecting and selling manuals for 15 years now, and they even have a book store in the Seattle, WA area. The website is VERY user friendly and fast. Give Alex a call if you can't find what you need, he can probably help you out.
3) www.oldcarmanualproject.com - While researching another article I wrote, I stumbled upon a great website at http://oldcarmanualproject.com . This is a non-profit site that currently has tens of thousands of pages scanned from very old car manuals and shop books which you can view and print for free. The scans are work of a few hundred people since about 2000. It started with a scan of a few old Holley carburetor manuals, and quickly grew from there as dozens of other car enthusiasts scanned their own manuals and uploaded them. They now have 48 GB of scanned pages, which is tens of thousands of pages. If you cannot find the manual or shop book you need on Amazon or eBay, there's a decent chance it may be on this website as they seem to have lots of older stuff that has not been reprinted lately.
If you need a manual RIGHT NOW and can't wait for it to be mailed to you, some sites offer instant download of PDF files after purchase, but you will only find the more popular American models. www.gearheadcafe.com is a good website for these.
Now that you know how to find the manual you need, you're ready to tackle that project you've been waiting to do. There are MANY websites that offer old car shop manuals, these are some of the best ones I have found over time.
If you know of any site that is on par with any of these, please comment below.

I find this very interesting as yesterday I witnessed something very similar. I spent about�half an hour watching a Sharp-shinned Hawk chase 2 Pileated Woodpeckers.�I had a�male and a female Pileated trying to coming to my suet and a Sharp-shinned Hawk came in and began chasing them. The hawk would chase one a short distance until it would land in a tree near the other, then the hawk would sit up above them. The Pileateds would work their way up the tree closer to the hawk and then the hawk would give chase again. The male took a break and ate some suet and then joined the female in a tree near the hawk and it would start all over again.�It was amazing to watch. It looked like maybe a territorial fight to me, I can't imagine the SS thought she was going to have�Pileated for lunch. The Pileateds finally left and the SS sat in my tree waiting for its lunch to arrive. A crow came to harrass it but soon left to go across the street and join about a
dozen other crows in harrassing a Great horned Owl that was trying to snooze over there.

Subject: [mou-net] SS hawk after pileated
Yesterday I watched a sharp shinned hawk repeatedly try to nab a pileated
woodpecker.� The� hawk would only engage the woodpecker when it was flying
(which I thought a bit odd since I would think the exposed back of the WP on
a tree a reasonable target), but every time the woodpecker would fly to a
different tree the sharpie would try to grab it.� The wingspan of the
woodpecker seemed at least that of the sharpie and I can't imagine either
bird would have gone anywhere but down had the sharpie actually grabbed its
quarry.� Although I did not see any feathers fly, the sharpie appeared to
hit the woodpecker at least twice.� The pileated seemed no worse for the
wear when it came back to my suet and
peanut feeders later in the day.
I saw a Coopers hawk engage a pileated last� year, but in that encounter,
the hawk seemed less serious about actually grabbing the pileated.

Whether you're a sole trader or a multinational corporation a website is now an almost essential part of running a business. Even if you don't sell products directly online a site can still be used to showcase your services and skills or help people locate your premises. You could pay someone to create a site for you but there are plenty of packages around that allow you to do the job yourself at a fraction of the cost.
You can build a website using cloud tools without installing any software on your PC or you can go for a more traditional design package that lets you work offline and upload your design when you're ready to go live.
There are free options, particularly with the cloud-based tools, but these usually have some limitations such as restrictions on the size of the site, the number of pages or which features you can add. You won't have to worry about this with an installed solution but bear in mind that there will be additional costs to host the site and to obtain your own catchy domain name.
To help you decide which option is best for your needs here are - in no particular order - TechRadar Business Centre's top ten web design tools for small business.
1/ 350 Pages
Web: www.350pages.com
Price: £0 to £19.99 per month
For sole traders and small firms the simplest options are the cloud-based site builders that allow you to design a website in your browser. These are ideal for start-ups or if you just want to test the water.
You build your site using a simple drag and drop process based on a choice of templates. Photos and graphics can be added to your pages and resized on the fly using floating toolbars, 350 Pages also supports embedded audio, video and Flash plug-ins. Hosting is included but you'll pay extra if you want to use your own domain name.
350 Pages has a free option that allows you to build a single site with up to 15 pages. If you want more pages or more sophistication, such as the ability to use eCommerce features to sell online, there are various pricing options ranging from £2.99 to £19.99 a month. These also remove the adverts that appear on sites made with the free version.
2/ Moonfruit
Web: www.moonfruit.com
Price: £0 to £25 per month
Moonfruit works in a similar way to 350 Pages with a free starter option and prices ranging from £4 to £25 a month. There's a shop facility even in the free version whilst the premium packages offer mobile-optimised pages and access to the Getty image library.
The range of templates on offer is impressive and they have a cleaner more 'designer' look than those on some of the other cloud sites. The interface makes it easy to move items around resize them, change fonts, colours and more.
We were impressed by how easy it is to produce a stylish, professional-looking site using Moonfruit. If you're trading in a creative field the look and feel of its output will appeal but it's well worth a look for any small business.
3/ Weebly
Web: www.weebly.com
Price: £0 to £2.54 per month
A drag and drop approach is taken by Weebly too. There are more than 100 themes to get you started and these can be customised to suit your taste. Useful features include the ability to create photo galleries and slideshows, embed multimedia and create forms. It creates a mobile optimised version of the site for you automatically and includes eCommerce tools.

BRICS Continue to Invest in Supply Chain Management Software
August 25, 2014 - SCMR Editorial
Cambashi, an independent industry analyst firm, based in Cambridge, UK. recently announced the 2014 second quarter update to its market data resource, the Cambashi Market Observatories.
These observatories provide a quantitative view of the technical applications software market available, providing a basis for analyzing size, growth, movement and other trends to support planning at local, regional and global levels.
Latest figures show a combined growth in the emerging nations of Brazil, Russia, India and China of 8.6% in 2013 over 2012. This is compared with 9.4% growth in 2012 over 2011 and suggests the rate of growth is slowing but is still strong.
Taking a view at more established market - especially when considering the technical applications software market, which is dominated by design and engineering software - anlysts see a 5.2 percent combined growth in France, Germany, the US and the UK in 2013 over 2012. This compares well with the figure for 2012 over 2011 of 4.2%, which is in line with greater recovery and investment in these countries.
The set of Cambashi Market Observatories for technical applications software comprises the Cambashi Product Observatory, the Cambashi Country Observatory and the Cambashi Industry Observatory, which are all updated quarterly. Each covers the global view regionally and provides a country and industry perspective for more than 50 individual countries.
According to Cambashi analyst, Simon Hailstone, the latest data for Latin America shows a slowing of growth from 19% in 2011 to 4% in 2013.
"In real terms Brazil showed some recovery in 2013 at 11%, particularly in manufacturing sectors, although Mexico slowed to around 6% with construction still weak," he told SCMR in an interview. "Smaller emerging countries such as Chile and Colombia held up well, around 8% in real terms, primarily due to the construction and mining sectors."
Hailstone noted that compared with emerging countries in other regions, Latin America shows similar underlying trends in this period but with underlying growth still above established markets.
"The slowing of growth in the major emerging countries of Russia, India and China has been more pronounced than most Latin American countries," he said.

Battling the boobirds
Politics | Mitt Romney persists in telling the NAACP that African-Americans would be better off with him as president
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told a gathering of the NAACP on Wednesday that if they "want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you are looking at him."
The audience at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's convention in Houston responded with sustained booing.
While the boobirds dominated, Romney's appearance did include a smattering of polite applause. Even occasional organ riffs punctuated some of Romney's remarks. The presumptive GOP nominee focused his speech on job creation, noting that the unemployment rate for African-Americans rose in June from 13.6 percent to 14.4 percent.
"Americans of every background are asking when this economy will finally recover-and you, in particular, are entitled to an answer," Romney said.
He pledged to open up domestic energy sources, expand trade, cut the growth of government, improve education, and restore economic freedom.
"Do these five things … and jobs will come back to America, and wages will rise again," Romney promised. "The president will say he will do those things, but he will not, he cannot, and his record of the last four years proves it."
This assertion by Romney that President Obama's policies have failed led to one of the numerous negative reactions from the audience. The loudest roars of disapproval came when Romney pledged to overturn Obamacare.
After letting his listeners vent for several seconds, Romney persisted, saying that if jobs are to be a priority then the new healthcare law needs to be changed.
The crowd gave tepid approval to Romney's remarks on strengthening families, defending traditional marriage, and promoting the growth of charter schools in urban areas. But the former Massachusetts governor kept hammering away at the economy.
"If equal opportunity in America were an accomplished fact, then a chronically bad economy would be equally bad for everyone," Romney said. "Instead, it's worse for African-Americans in almost every way."
Romney is not expected to win the black vote, and his campaign team did not expect his speech Wednesday to change that. But they hoped the African-American community would appreciate and respect the fact that he reached out to them by speaking at the convention. Romney, who said he would not be running for president if he didn't believe his polices would help families of color, promised to work with the black community if elected president.
"I can't promise that you and I will agree on every issue," he said. "But I do promise that your hospitality to me today will be returned. We will know one another, and work to common purposes. … And if I am elected president, and you invite me to next year's convention, I would count it as a privilege, and my answer will be yes."
Romney then walked off the stage to light applause as the organist played"God Bless America."

- 3 eggs
- 1/3 -1/2 cup of flour
- Ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Oil
How to prepare, step-by-step:

- Slice salmon in portion pieces, about ½ inch thick and about 2 inches long:
- Salt and season with pepper each slice from all sides:
- Crack eggs to a bowl, season with salt and ground black pepper:
- Beat them until homogeneous:
- Gradually mix flour in:
- Until desired thickness:
- Warm up skillet with some oil over moderate heat; dip salmon slices into batter:

- And put them on warmed up skillet; fry until batter is colored:
- Then flip fish to other side and fry again:
- Move cooked salmon to a plate; repeat with all salmon slices:
- Serve warm with your choice of a side dish, fried potatoes are great with fried fish:

In the 13 years since City Zip swept Saratoga Race Course's trio of open graded juvenile dirt stakes - the Grade 2 Sanford, Grade 2 Saratoga Special and Grade 1 Hopeful - there hasn't been one horse to as much as compete in all three races.
The streak will end on Monday, when Wired Bryan takes on nine challengers, including a triple threat from meet-leading trainer Todd Pletcher, in the 109th renewal of the $300,000 Hopeful for 2-year-olds going seven furlongs.
Carded as the ninth of 10 races, the Hopeful and Grade 3, $150,000 Glens Falls highlight the Closing Day program as Saratoga wraps up its 150th anniversary meet.
Trained by former Pletcher assistant Michael Dilger for Anstu Stables, Wired Bryan broke his maiden at Belmont Park on June 19 and rolled to a 5 ¼-length victory in the Sanford on July 21, Dilger's first starter at Saratoga.
Dilger brought Wired Bryan back in the Saratoga Special on August 11, dueling with fellow Hopeful contender Corfu around the track before falling a nose short at the wire.
"He's got a lot of try," Dilger said. "I think his biggest asset is his attitude. He's a very laid-back horse, borderline lazy. That helps when you're trying to put together three races in quick succession. We're running him in these races because that's the way he's presented himself. He shows that he's able to handle it. Hopefully, he'll be able to handle the next one."
Shaun Bridgmohan, aboard in the Sanford, will ride Wired Bryan, second choice at 7-2 on the morning line, from post 8.
"He has presented himself as a very straightforward horse," Dilger said. "He's had no hiccups along the way and, touch wood, he's been a very, very sound horse. The fact that he's talented, we can't train that."
Pletcher has won the Hopeful twice, including last year with eventual Champion Two-Year-Old Male Shanghai Bobby. He returns this year with Corfu and maiden winners All in Blue and King Cyrus.
Corfu, a bay son of Malibu Moon, won his debut on July 25 at Saratoga, and came back 17 days later to take the Saratoga Special, both in front-running style. The 3-1 program favorite, he will leave from post 4 in the Hopeful with his regular rider, Hall of Famer John Velazquez.
"He's pretty fast, and speed is his weapon, so we'll look to continue to take advantage of that," Pletcher said. "In both of his races he's shown he's got some fight to him, so we hope that he'll be able to carry his speed a little further."
A maiden winner in July at Belmont, All in Blue stumbled at the break and came wide into the stretch to finish fourth in the Sanford. Irad Ortiz, Jr. will be aboard the More Than Ready colt, owned by Starlight Racing and listed at 15-1 on the morning line.
"Running back on short rest and stumbling at the start I think compromised his chances in the Sanford," said Pletcher. "He's trained well since then, and we feel like he deserves another chance."
Owned by WinStar Farms, King Cyrus turned heads with an 11-length romp in his unveiling on August 5 at the Spa at the Sanford distance. He is the only horse in the field to have run beyond 6 ½ furlongs.
"His one start was impressive," Pletcher said. "He's a horse that is going to appreciate more distance down the road, but in a race that looks like it's going to have a lot of pace, it could set up well for him. You're always concerned going from one start to a Grade 1, but that's sort of where today's racing is. You're forced to jump into the deep end of the pool right off the bat."
Meet-leading rider Javier Castellano gets a return call on King Cyrus, 10-1, from the outside post 10.
Trainer Steve Asmussen takes aim at his first Hopeful victory with both Big Sugar Soda and Southern Blessing. Big Sugar Soda is coming off a Spa maiden victory on July 22 where he posted a 94 Beyer Speed Figure, tops in the field. Southern Blessing won first time out in May at Churchill Downs, and returned to finish second to Wired Bryan in the Sanford.
Hall of Famer Mike Smith will ride Big Sugar Soda, 4-1, from post 6, while Rosie Napravnik has the mount on Southern Blessing, 20-1, from post 1.
Also in the Hopeful are Casiguapo, an 11-length maiden winner on July 20 at Calder Race Course; Long On Value, unbeaten in three starts and making his debut for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott; Lunarwarfare, beaten less than two lengths while fourth in the Saratoga Special; and Strong Mandate, who graduated with a 4 ½-length victory on August 17 at the Spa with a 92 Beyer Speed Figure.
First run in 1996, the Glens Falls is the final graded turf stakes of the meet, for fillies and mares 3 years old and up going 11 furlongs over the inner turf course.
A field of 15 was entered led by Tannery, who is wheeled back by trainer Alan Goldberg 16 days after the 4-year-old Dylan Thomas filly closed to be fourth against males in the Grade 1 Sword Dancer Invitationalon August 17 at Saratoga.
Owned by Richard Santulli, Tannery was a Group 3 winner last year in Ireland who ran third in the Grade 1 Garden City in her stateside debut. Her lone victory this year came in the Grade 2 Sheepshead Bay on May 25 at Belmont Park.
Castellano will ride Tannery, the 2-1 program favorite, from post 8.
Angel Terrace, trained by Hall of Famer Jonathan Sheppard for Augustin Stable, hails from the same connections that captured the 2011 Glens Falls with Emerald Beech.
A 4-year-old chestnut daughter of Hall of Famer Ghostzapper, Angel Terrace was fourth of seven, beaten 3 ¼ lengths, in the 1 ½-mile Waya on August 5 at Saratoga. Winless in four starts this year, Angel Terrace came from off the pace to take the Grade 3 Valley View last October at Keeneland by a nose.
On Wednesday, Angel Terrace tuned up for the Glens Falls with a five-furlong breeze in 59.70 seconds over the Tapeta surface at the Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland.
"[The Waya] was a rough race," Sheppard said. "She definitely had a troubled trip; I think she maybe could have been second. Off of that, I think it's worth a shot. She's run very good over a distance of ground. She's had a nice spacing between her races, and she seems fine. She had a nice work at Fair Hill [Wednesday] morning, so we'll give it our best shot."
Napravnik replaces Castellano on Angel Terrace, 6-1 on the morning line, from post 4.
"She has been riding well lately, and I think that her style of sort of swinging wide and coming down the middle of the stretch might suit this filly," Sheppard said. "I don't think the distance is a problem. She basically ran well in the Waya at a long distance. In fact, she's not really extremely fast, so I think the long distance helps her."
Also in the Glens Falls are Grade 3 Bewitch winner Strathnaver; Anjaz and Mystical Star, who ran second and third, respectively, behind Qushchi in the Waya; Layali Dubai, making her third stateside start for trainer Eoin Harty; graded stakes placed Minakshi, third in the Grade 3 Matchmaker and Grade 2 Sheepshead Bay this year; Grade 1-placed Cash for Clunkers, in just her second start this year; and White Rose, making her stakes debut.
Owned by Godolphin Stable, Anjaz and Layli Dubai are coupled in the wagering. Lady Cohiba, Greed and Fear, Scampering, Geisha Gal, Malibu Holiday and Swift Taylor will run only if the race is moved to the main track.

As announced on MTV website Elle and Blair Fowler, allthatglitters21 and juicystar07, youtube beauty gurus are now set to get their own tv show. This seems to be the reason that they have moved to LA. Do they deserve a TV Show?
Kinetic Content is the company behind the show and in an interview with deadline.com here are what the two girls had to say…
"We are two young girls from Tennessee about to embark on our dream career path," Elle and Blair told Deadline. "We are beyond excited and couldn't be in more safe hands than with the Kinetic development team."
Do Elle and Blair Fowler Deserve a TV Show?
This has obviously created a huge uproar in the beauty guru community as these girls who many feel are too fake are now going to be the TV faces of all YouTube beauty gurus.
Whether you like them or not you have to be impressed with their following and how they have "succesfully" moved from YouTube sensation to penning their own reality TV deal.
Dont get me wrong I cant begin to understand what this show could possibly be about….are we going to see haul videos….follow them on their daily lives…what do you think?
Here is some of the reaction from kissndMAKEUP.

Press pool report: Obama motorcade leaves Lackawanna College
Published: August 23, 2013
Article Tools
Below is the press pool report of President Barack Obama's visit to Northeast Pennsylvania. The pool reporter, Times-Tribune political writer Borys Krawczeniuk, will provide tidbits throughout the day on Mr. Obama's visit of the area.
At 2:23 p.m.
Left Binghamton University at 2:09 p.m. Supporters, fans, anti-frackers and others lining the school's access roads.
At 2:37 p.m.
The motorcade is heading down Interstate 81 toward Scranton and just passed into Pennsylvania.
At 2:50 p.m.
Motorcade exiting Interstate 81 at Gibson Twp. in Susquehanna County.
At 2:56 p.m.
Motorcade still on Interstate 81, did not exit at Gibson. Last report sent accidentally.
At 2:58 p.m.
Motorcade exiting Interstate 81 at Lenox, Exit 211.
At 4:08 p.m.
President Obama's motorcade pulled off of Interstate 81 at Lenox and stopped by Bingham's Family Restaurant, which reopened a couple of years ago after a devastating fire in April 2010 started by a volunteer firefighter.
"I heard you've got good pie," Mr. Obama said as he entered the restaurant where owner David Scarpetta greeted him. "That's the word on the street. You know your senator, Bob Casey?"
"Yes, we do," a woman at the counter answered said of the U.S. senator.
"So how long has this place been here," Mr. Obama asked.
Mr. Scarpetta, 56, of Clarks Summit, told the president the restaurant had been open since 1983 and he had owned it since 1998.
The president asked what pie Mr. Scarpetta recommended.
"Coconut creme pie," he replied, later admitting that he had been tipped off that that was the president's favorite.
"One coconut creme pie," Mr. Obama said. "I think I should get a cherry pie. This is my order, I don't know about you," he said, turning to Mr. Casey. "And I think we can get a pecan pie."
Mr. Obama chatted with Mr. Scarpetta, asking him if the business was hard work.
"It sure is," Mr. Scarpetta replied. "It's not as hard as being president."
"Awww," Mr. Obama said. "I'll tell you what, the only thing about you is you're not term-limited."
Mr. Obama excused himself to shake some hands and told Mr. Scarpetta, "Don't let him pay," pointing to Mr. Casey.
"How are you?" the president asked 12-year-old Sam Daggers.
Sam's family, which is from Galloway, N.J., stopped at the restaurant for lunch on the way to Cooperstown, N.Y., for a baseball tournament.
Sam look up at the president in awe.
Their conversation was inaudible, but later Sam said Mr. Obama asked him how old he was and what he was doing in the restaurant.
"He wished me luck and what position I played ... catcher and centerfield. Big surprise, surprising at this time and this place."
Asked what it's like to meet the president out of the blue.
"It's exciting and surprising, awing almost," he said. "He's a lot taller and thinner in person."
Mr. Scarpetta said, "We're known up and down the coast for our pies," he said. "People go on trips and they stop here on the way, they stop here on the way back. Even the president knows about us."
Asked if coconut creme was a specialty, Mr. Scarpetta said, "I think that's his favorite. I got the inside scoop."
"We have 15 kinds of pie everyday," he said, all made right in the restaurant. "The hardest part is hand-crimping the crust."
4:16 p.m.
Motorcade just pulled off Interstate 81 at the Central Scranton Expressway. Only minutes from Lackawanna College
4:40 p.m.
Back outside Bingham's, Walene Rudolfi, 52, of Dunmore, who is disabled, said she and her friend, stopped by the restaurant on their way to visit nearby friends.
"The last thing we thought in the world (was) that this would happen," she said. "I was excited, it was like Christmastime, Santa Claus, I couldn't be any more excited. He's very personable. I think he's very intelligent and I think he's doing a good job. It made my day, made my summer. It was just a fluke that we ended up to be here."
Ms. Rudofli said she and her friend were talking about the Obama visit on the way to the restaurant, worrying that police would shut the highway.
Joe Capalongo, 60, of Dunmore, said he and Ms. Rudolfi had planned to see Mr. Obama at Lackawanna College, but decided against it because of the lack of parking.
"We had an opportunity to see the president and we didn't," he said. "Can you believe it? I haven't been to this restaurant in about eight months. I decided to take my remote control plane out ... The fate is unbelievable. I can't believe it. We had a personal audience with the President of the United States moreso than if you were downtown."
He had baked haddock for lunch.
"He was very, very personable. He's not rushed. He takes his time and talks to everybody in a personal way. He asked, "How you doing? What's your name, where you from, things like that?"
"Thanks for coming here and saving us the cost of a ticket," the president told Mr. Capalongo.
After sometime inside meeting with restaurant patrons and away from reporters, Mr. Obama emerged and talked to a little girl wearing face paint.
Hi guys, how are you? Hi, sweetie, where'd you get the face paint?" he asked.
"At the fair," the little girl replied.
"Was it fun? What'd you do," Mr. Obama asked.
"Played games," she said.
"You played some games? Did you win some?" he said.
The motorcade has arrived at Lackawanna College and is awaiting the president.
5:55 p.m.
Motorcade leaves Lackawanna College at 5:44 p.m.

Sigh. I have a 2008 Diamondback Edgewood. Love the bike, don't love that I seem to be having problems getting the stuff I need for it!
Fenders, for one. It's got front suspension, but some of the fenders for that don't work. It doesn't work with the way they need to mount.
Also, my tires, which I love, are 700c x 40, and all the fenders I see are 35mm.
I am considering ordering Planet Bike's Cascadia Hybrid fenders. http://ecom1.planetbike.com/7026.html
It says they are 45mm width, though it also says they fit 35mm tires, which confuses me, but these are the widest I've seen.

Paladin has acquired U.S. rights to "A Bird of the Air," a new film based on Joe Coomer's novel "The Loop." The film marks the feature film directorial debut of actress Margaret Whitton and is the maiden production of Tashtego Films, which she and her partners, Steven Tabakin and Warren Spector, formed in 2008. Paladin plans a fall release for the film.
Full press release below.
A BIRD OF THE AIR, a new comic romance based on Joe Coomer's highly acclaimed novel, "The Loop," will be released by Paladin, it was announced by company president, Mark Urman. The film, which stars Rachel Nichols and Jackson Hurst, represents the feature film directorial debut of noted actress Margaret Whitton and is the maiden production of Tashtego Films, which she and her partners, Steven Tabakin and Warren Spector, formed in 2008. Paladin plans a fall release for the film.
Hailed as "deliciously quirky and perceptive," by Publishers Weekly, and "impossible to resist" by The New Yorker, Coomer's 1992 novel tells the story of Lyman (Hurst), a lovable loner whose job patrolling highways at night, aiding stranded motorists and injured animals, keeps him at a distance from other people. When an extremely rare and highly talkative parrot flies into his home one day, Lyman needs to figure out where the bird comes from and tries to decode its often cryptic and highly literary utterances. Enlisting the aid of Fiona (Nichols), a sexy librarian who is as interested in Lyman's secrets as she is in the bird's, the pair set off on a search that doesn't always lead them where they think they're going, but which gradually leads them to one another. Named one of the "Notable Books of the Year," by The New York Times, Coomer's novel was adapted for the screen by Roger Towne, whose credits include the film adaptation of Bernard Malamud's "The Natural."
About A BIRD OF THE AIR, Urman says, "this is a truly enchanting film that took me completely by surprise. Not only does it introduce two enormously appealing stars who are relative newcomers to the independent film scene, it also establishes Margaret, an actor whose work I have long admired, as a highly skilled director with a point of view all her own." Warren Spector, executive producer of A BIRD OF THE AIR, said "We're looking forward to working with Mark Urman and his team at Paladin. Mark's credentials in the world of specialty distribution are second to none, and we're delighted that he brings such expertise and passion to the distribution of this very special film."
Steven Tabakin, who produced along with director Margaret Whitton, adds, "Mark Urman has an incredibly deep understanding of all aspects of filmmaking, and his wonderful taste and instincts -- coupled with boundless energy -- should make for a very exciting theatrical life for A BIRD OF THE AIR. We couldn't be in more capable hands."
Nichols, who will be seen later this summer as the female lead in "Conan the Barbarian," just completed a season on the hit series "Criminal Minds," and numbers among her credits such major studio releases as "Star Trek," G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," and "Charlie Wilson's War." Hurst is best known as the male lead in the popular cable series, "Drop Dead Diva." The supporting cast of A BIRD OF THE AIR includes such highly regarded performers as two time Tony-winner Judith Ivey, Linda Emond (recently on stage in Tony Kushner's "The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide ....." ), Buck Henry ("Heaven Can Wait," "The Graduate"), Phyllis Somerville, ("Little Children," "The Big C") and, following a long absence from the screen, Anjanette Comer, who played the female lead in Tony Richardson 1965 satire "The Loved One" and who starred opposite Marlon Brando in the 1966 western, "The Appaloosa."
Whitton, whose prior directing experience has been for the theater, is best known for her appearances in such films as "The Secret of My Success," alongside Michael J. Fox; "9 1/2 Weeks," with Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke; "The Man Without a Face," alongside Mel Gibson, and as the rapacious team owner in the hit comedy "Major League" and its sequel. Prior to forming Tashtego Films, Tabakin was George C. Wolfe's Associate Producer at the Public Theater for a number of years, developing and producing such notable projects as Tony Kushner's "Caroline, or Change," Neil LaBute's "This Is How It Goes," Tim Robbins' "Embedded," Stew's "Passing Strange," and the Martha Mitchell one-woman show, "Dirty Tricks," which was directed by Whitton and starred Judith Ivey. He has also produced a number of original drama projects for PBS and produced Bob Balaban's film of "The Exonerated" for Court TV.
For A BIRD OF THE AIR, the filmmakers have assembled an exceptional technical team headed by Academy Award-winning cinematographer Philippe Rousselot, long associated with such major filmmakers as Tim Burton ( "Planet of The Apes," "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory," and "Big Fish"), John Boorman ("The Emerald Forest," "Hope and Glory," and "The Tailor of Panama,"), Robert Redford ("A River Runs Through It," and "Lions For Lambs), Stephen Frears ("Dangerous Liaisons," and "Mary Reilly"), and Neil Jordan ("The Miracle," "Interview With The Vampire" and "We're No Angels"), among many others. Costume Designer Joseph G. Aulisi, who worked with Whitton on "The Secret of My Success," numbers among his credits such major films as "Three Days of The Condor," "Billy Bathgate," "Nobody's Fool," "Bowfinger," and "Charlie's Angels."
Currently on-screen for Paladin is Tom Shadyac's I AM, one of the year's most successful documentary films. The company recently announced that it will distribute Tiffany Shlain's award -winning film, CONNECTED, which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival.

Top 10 Christmas Movies For Adults
With winter firmly upon us and the Holiday season already here, we love nothing more than to sit in front the TV with a good Christmas movie and a roaring fire. The holidays are a time to chill out, relax and recharge your batteries before getting back to the grind in January.
But why do we feel the need to laze our days away in front of the box while scoffing luxury chocolates by the handful?
The answer; we need that feel good factor!
We all feel a little down and depressed in the winter months due to lack of sunlight but we also feel a little guilty at Christmastime as we have plenty while others do not.
So what is the solution?
A few feelgood Christmas movies to lift our spirits? Or maybe we should try giving to those less fortunate than ourselves, as that is the whole meaning of Christmas spirit isn't it?
Or what about getting out there in the chilly air and getting some exercise to work off that turkey dinner and make us feel better… No need to buy mountain hardware, you aren't going rock climbing, just getting wrapped up for a brisk walk. All these things would give you that feel good feeling, so what are you waiting for?
But while you're feeling in the mood for a movie why not take a look at this top ten list of Christmas movies for adults.
It's a Wonderful Life
George Bailey (James Stewart) contemplates suicide after $8,000 is lost by his Uncle Billy on the way to deposit it at the bank on Christmas Eve. Of course, George will be held responsible for this and he wonders if his family and the town would be better off without him. That is, until an Angel named Clarence shows him otherwise.
The Christmas Cottage
This the story behind Thomas Kinkade's painting 'The Christmas Cottage'. After Thomas (Jared Padalecki) discovers his mother is behind with her mortgage repayments, the amateur artist decides to go professional to save their family home from repossession. So he seeks the guidance of an aging mentor to show him the way.
The Holiday
Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) and Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) have been unlucky in love and decide they need to get away. So just before Christmas vacation they surf the 'net for ideas and choose to swap their house through a home exchange website. Amanda is off to a lovely old cottage in Surrey, England and Iris to a beautiful modern home in Los Angeles. But little do they know that love is just around the corner for both of them...
While You Were Sleeping
Lucy (Sandra Bullock) leads a lonely life as a fare collector in Chicago and with no family to speak of she dreams of being married to handsome commuter Peter Callahan (Peter Gallagher) whom she sees everyday at the station. When Peter is mugged and knocked onto the tracks, Lucy rushes to save him from an oncoming train. She then poses as Peter's fiancee at the hospital and ends up meeting his family while Peter is in a coma. The whole family love her and think she's fantastic, including Peter's brother Jack (Bill Pullman). And there begins the love story.
Four Christmases
On Christmas morning happy couple Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) are off to Fiji to avoid spending Christmas with their two sets of divorced parents. But Fate has a cruel twist up its sleeve, they don't get to Fuji and they end up visiting all four parents all in one day! As the day wears on they begin to realise they don't really know each other that well after all. This is exacerbated by remembering all the stuff that happened to them as they were growing up. Is their supposedly perfect relationship without marriage and kids really what they want?
Homeless For The Holidays
Jack Baker (Matt Moore) leads a perfect upper-middle-class life right up until he loses his job as an executive. He then has to master the horror of working at a burger joint to cover the bills but it soon becomes clear that he can't survive on such poor wages and if something doesn't change soon they will be homeless by Christmas.
Die Hard

He is heading to her company's Christmas party but soon discovers that all the partygoers, including his wife, have been taken hostage by terrorists. Their leader, Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) is demanding the release of terrorists from prison in exchange for the lives of the hostages, but is secretly plotting to steal millions in bearer bonds from a vault in the building.Of course, McClane takes all the terrorists on single handed!
The Preachers Wife
When Reverend Henry Biggs (Courtney B. Vance) prays to God for help with his failing marriage to choir mistress Julia (Whitney Houston) and to stop his church being under threat by property developers, he doesn't expect his prayers to be answered. God sends him an Angel named Dudley (Denzel Washington) to help out but it seems Dudley sets to cause him even more trouble.
The Family Man
Jack Campbell (Nicholas Cage) is a successful business man. He loves his single life, his Ferrari and his job. But one day he wakes up in a different life, a life where his old girlfriend is now his wife and he's a father of two kids. He has a minivan instead of a Ferrari and works at a Big Ed's as a tyre salesman, instead of a president at an investment house. However, he soon learns to live this life and realises just how much was missing from his bachelor existence.
Trading Places
Louis Winthorpe (Dan Ackroyd) is a successful business man who works for two brothers at their company Duke and Duke. The brothers are constantly bickering and this time it's whether it's environment or heredity that determines how well a person does in their life. Winthorpe bumps into a street con-artist named Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) and thinks he is going to rob him so has him arrested. Well, when the Duke brothers see how different Valentine and Winthorpe are, they decide this will bring an end their argument. They decide to place a bet on how Winthrope will do without a job, his home and his dignity, while giving Valentine, Winthorpe's job to see how he copes.
Here's hoping everyone enjoys their winter break whatever you are up to…

@not smart enough
I too would like to know why Loris and the satellite riders weren't winning races and bagging all the podiums if their was such an advantage with the engine and tires. Sort of like the posters b1tchig and complaining about the Ducati "200cc advantage" in WSBK and it's only Checa who is kicking ass regularly.

Address: 8950 Main Street
Woodstock, GA 30188-4908
Practice: Dentists
Probably the most unpleasant things is having to choose a dentist. Let's face it nobody really likes dental work, but there are some methods to make it more tolerable. When faced with deciding on a dentist, there are many options available. Over the following sentences we'll take a look at how to choose the best dentist.
Expertise is the first thing you want to look for in a dentist. There are lots of fly by night dental companies, along with other dentists who are just out of school. While you can find some good young dentists, it is a lot better to find a dental professional that has at least 5 years of competent experience. If you're getting major dental work done like a crown, you definitely would like someone with experience.
It is also a good idea to get referrals from your relatives and buddies. Usually when people find a good dental office or other service professional, they are going to become repeat customers. If you cannot get a referral do your homework on the internet and see what other folks have said about certain dental offices. If you find one that provides extensive positive reviews, they might be worth checking out.
Some things to consider are dentists in Woodstock who promote super affordable prices. Most of that time period these dentists are interested more in quantity versus level of quality. The chances are you probably won't receive the particular awareness you'll need at places such as this. Also, avoid dentists who use routine sedation. Most adults do not need this and there's no need to subject yourself to this treatment when it's not needed.
Don't forget to either visit or call the actual office for more information on their services. If you ask a lot of questions and keep to the hints above, you should have few problems when it comes time to choose a dentist in zip code 30188.

|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
The information that follows was provided by an official at the Embassy of Yugoslavia in Ottawa during a 21 August 1998 telephone interview.
Residents of Yugoslavia must register their place of residence at local municipal offices. When they move to a new address, it must be registered at the new location's municipal offices. There are specific municipal offices for address registration within the municipal government buildings, which usually house a variety of offices, including a police office. The police are not, however, involved in residency registration. Registration is usually carried out within 30 days of moving to a locality, but this deadline is not strict; many people do not register within the first month of moving, and register later with no consequence.
When registering the address of residence, a resident must state or show his or her previous address, and give their full name. Every person residing in a household must be registered, although it is usually a head of the family who registers other members of the household, such as children. The gender and date of birth of all members of the household is probably noted in the registry. The nationality or ethnicity or religion of the resident is not registered. However, foreigners who stay in Yugoslavia intent on residing for a few months or indefinitely must register, and at registration they will probably have to present a passport or other document showing their citizenship.
The following information was provided by the Data and Request Unit of the Repatriation Information Centre in Sarajevo (23 Aug. 1998).
The residency registration process in the Republika Srpska was inherited from the former Yugoslav regime and kept on in national legislation.
The information that follows was provided by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees office in Belgrade (25 Aug. 1998):
Citizens and residents of FRY/Serbia must register their address with the municipal police office. Before registering on a new address, one must de-register previous address with the local police office. This de-registration date is noted in one's ID card. The only exception applies to Belgrade, where de-registration is not required when changing municipal address (Belgrade has 15 municipalities).
Registration must take place within the period of seven (7) days. For not compliance with this regulation, a small fine is prescribed.
Data that must be provided is as follows: full name, date and place of birth, occupation and address of the employer where applicable. Also, one must present contract of rent/sale of the apartment or approach the local police together with the owner of the apartment on the new address. The owner has to sign a statement of accepting the new tenants on his/her free will. All persons from the household have to register in person except the underage children. The new address will be written in their ID cards.
It should be noted that the new FRY/Serbian Law on ID cards is expected to be introduced before the parliament soon. As the Law will contain provisions regarding the registration, the above brief should be understood with these limitations.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Los Angeles, California
"The whole concept of celebrity pisses me off. While I'm not a celebrity, it's such a weird concept that society has cooked up for us. Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors."
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Don't look now, but that nerdy kid with the bad '90s hair from 3rd Rock from the Sun is all grown up. Joseph Gordon-Levitt -- who rose to fame on the strength of the popular sitcom -- went from dorky child actor to smoldering leading man in what feels like a heartbeat. After conquering indiedom with films like Mysterious Skin and Brick, Gordon-Levitt broke out in a big way with the sleeper hit (500) Days of Summer. The success of that film proved that Gordon-Levitt was ready to embrace, and be embraced by the mainstream. After twisting our minds with Leonardo DiCaprio in Inception, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's been back messing with our heads in the time-travelling thriller Looper. With supporting roles in The Dark Knight Rises and Lincoln JGL continues to show he's got what it takes to make it big.
After a serious misstep as Cobra Commander in the much maligned G.I. Joe: Rise Of The Cobra, Gordon-Levitt is making his return to big budget actioners, this time in the more cerebral vehicle Inception. How does the elusive actor fare opposite one of Hollywood's great screen titans? Watch the film to find out. Everyone else did.
After a serious misstep as Cobra Commander in the much maligned G.I. Joe: Rise Of The Cobra, Gordon-Levitt is making his return to big budget actioners, this time in the more cerebral vehicle Inception. How does the elusive actor fare opposite one of Hollywood's great screen titans? Watch the film to find out. Everyone else did.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt BiographyJoseph Gordon-Levitt was bit by the acting bug at a very young age. Born in Los Angeles to free-spirited parents, Gordon-Levitt joined a musical theater group when he was just 4 and played the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz before appearing in a string of commercials for Cocoa Puffs, Pop-Tarts and peanut butter. When he was 7, Gordon-Levitt booked his first real gig in the made-for-TV movie Stranger on My Land. Four years later, he appeared in A River Runs Through It opposite Brad Pitt and continued appearing in films (Angels in the Outfield, The Juror) and television (Roseanne, The Powers That Be) before booking the role that would change his life.
joseph gordon-levitt stars in 3rd rock from the sunJoseph Gordon-Levitt's time as a genius alien in a 15 year old's body on NBC's acclaimed sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun may have hurt the actor as much as it helped him. Aside from raising his profile, it also fattened his bank account for those post sitcom years, when Gordon-Levitt moved to New York and studied at Columbia University. But when Gordon-Levitt decided to return to acting, some casting directors couldn't get past their perception of him as the goofy 15 year old with that now iconic hairdo. So the actor had no choice but to reinvent himself.
joseph gordon-levitt stars in mysterious skinWhat better way to shatter the image of 3rd Rock's Tommy Solomon then by playing an abused gay hustler in Gregg Araki's 2004 Sundance darling Mysterious Skin. In the little-seen film, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is sodomized, abused and willing to do some pretty dirty things for some coin. It was a daring role for an actor desperate to reshape his own image and proof that he could be a presence on the big screen. It worked. Gordon-Levitt began starring in a series of smaller films including the modern noir Brick, the heist film The Lookout and Kimberly Peirce's Iraq drama Stop-Loss.
joseph gordon-levitt stars in (500) days of summerBy now, Joseph Gordon-Levitt had conquered the indie film circuit, but had yet to break out into the mainstream. That all changed with the release of (500) Days Of Summer, the sleeper hit about a broken-hearted hipster looking back at his relationship with the enchanting but elusive Summer (played memorably by Zooey Deschanel). The film was a success both critically and financially, and earned Gordon-Levitt a Golden Globe nod for his performance. With his newfound clout, Gordon-Levitt was able to pursue passion projects like Women in Trouble and his online art collective hitrecord.org, but also starred in a pair of clunkers in Killshot and G.I Joe: Rise of The Cobra. Fans weren't used to seeing Gordon-Levitt -- who is notorious for his good taste in scripts -- in such stinkers. Thankfully his next role was a return to form.
joseph gordon-levitt stars in inceptionAlthough Joseph Gordon-Levitt is capable of leading his own films, he more than willingly took a supporting role for the chance to work with Leonardo DiCaprio and Christopher Nolan. In Inception, Gordon-Levitt is a member of DiCaprio's dream team (pun intended), and his gravity-defying fight scene is on everybody's lips. Inception opened with over $60 million at the box office, and is the one gem in a summer of duds.
In 2010 Gordon-Levitt filmed the indie drama Hesher opposite Natalie Portman, followed one year later by the cancer comedy originally titled Live With It (yes, you read that right), now titled 50/50, costarring Seth Rogen.


text: A few of his books have... erm... let's say questionable groups in them, even on the protagonist side. But he's always played them straight I thought. And I usually enjoy his novels. The ending of the second emberverse trilogy just really struck me bad. Technology regression is something I REALLY hate, and any group that forces this on the earth (along with killing 90 percent of the population) just can in no way be good to me. And its irritating when they are portrayed as benevolent.

Twenty-two shopping days till Christmas. Everywhere I've been lately you can't escape someone bemoaning how quickly it comes around and how it seems to get faster every year. I was thinking about this: does it come quicker or is it just that we have more and more to do and not enough time to fit it all in? I think the latter: even if you only make one new friend every year, it still accumulates into more parties, drinks, cards and presents than there are days in December. No wonder everyone is knackered in January. Christmas, like everything, is a double-edged sword. For every great thing in the festive season, there's something guaranteed to rile you, or more specifically, me.
- Perfume ads. Deck your romantic existentialism with boughs of holly and shove it up your ass. If life were really all beaches and soft focus we'd all be short-sighted and living in Tahiti. Buying aftershave will not make you beautiful/successful/sporty/thin. It will make you poor.
- Slow moving shoppers. I am 6'3″. I have a very wide stride. As a child my mother never made concessions for our being short and forced us to keep up with her. I am a very fast walker. At Christmas, all the dawdlers and gawkers hit the streets and get in my way. I spend my lunch hours looking cross, tutting and sighing as people cut me up on the pavement. I am also a master at the filthy look when some old codger smacks me with their shopping because they realised they just passed Laura Ashley without popping in. This one especially annoys me because, being so tall, my groin is about elbow height for most elderly ladies. A few years ago there was a fabulous suggestion to put pedestrian speed lanes on Oxford Street. When I am Prime Minister, these will be everywhere and law-breakers will be shot in the knees.
- Clubbing at Christmas. There are some great Christmas tunes out there – Slade, Wizzard, Mariah Carey – and as the Big Day approaches you would think that the dancefloors might capitulate under the strain of festive revellers and play some of the classics towards the end of the night, but no: whilst every other whippoorwill is forcing Christmas cheer down your throats with shocking immodesty, the dancefloors seem determined to resist its very existence. The temerity to ask for a Christmas tune earns scornful and shocked looks from DJs up and down the land. What is so wrong with a spot of 'Step Into Christmas' in the season? I want festive cheese!
- Christmas countdowns. Channel 4 are the worst for this. The merest hint of festivity and normal scheduling goes out of the window in favour of Jimmy Carr presenting a four-hour marathon on 'The Top 100 Greatest Sheds". No wonder everyone is so busy at Christmas: they're all out on the streets pissing me off because they're trying to avoid another mind-numbing instalment of "The World's Greatest Vegetable Recipes".
- The weather. Where is the snow, eh?
- Sprouts.
I know these are all minor things, but the next time you are turning around in Waterstone's and bash someone with your shopping, consider this: one man's accidental knock is another man's bollock-bashing biddy. Now, if you will excuse me, 'Cranford' is on, and it's just not Christmas without a BBC period drama at the start of winter.

CORNELIUS – Kenneth "Buddy" Caldwell, chief lending officer and one of the original employees for Cornelius-based Aquesta Bank, is retiring at the end of April, after 39 years in the banking industry.
"Buddy was an Aquesta Bank employee before there was an Aquesta Bank," Aquesta President and CEO Jim Engel said in a news release. "After an initial coffee shop meeting, I met with Buddy in the basement of my house to formulate plans for a new Lake Norman community bank. Buddy drove to my house on his Harley wearing black leather chaps."
Born and raised in Davidson, Caldwell graduated from North Mecklenburg High School, married his childhood friend, Judy, and attended the University of South Carolina on a football-baseball scholarship. He played baseball for the Texas Rangers organization.
As a teen, he got his first job at Hoke Lumber Company in Davidson and, at 23, took his first banking job as a loan officer for Piedmont Bank & Trust in 1972. He has since served in various lending and executive roles at Piedmont, First Union National Bank and, for more than 19 years, First Charter Bank. He then helped to start and lead Aquesta as chief credit officer, commercial lender and executive vice president.
In retirement, Caldwell plans to spend time with his children and grandchildren, ride his Harley and brush up on his golf.

Presidential tea leaves
Politics | News organizations begin forecasting election outcomes in a close race that's impossible to predict
If you're considering how you'll follow election results next Tuesday night, the Associated Press could save you time: The news organization has already all but called the race for President Barack Obama.
Consider the first paragraph of an Oct. 29 AP story: "President Barack Obama is poised to eke out a victory in the race for the 270 electoral votes needed to win re-election, having beaten back Republican Mitt Romney's attempts to convert momentum from the debates into support in all-important Ohio. …"
The fifth paragraph did offer this caveat: "The AP analysis isn't intended to predict the outcome." But the rest of the story explained why it's nearly impossible for Gov. Romney to win, despite close polls.
The Associated Press isn't alone. News organizations all over the country are indulging in the election season tradition of shifting from covering the race to predicting the outcome.
In 2008, the task was easier: President Obama had a relatively clear lead over Sen. John McCain heading into the final stretch of the campaign. This time, it's less clear: National surveys show the race between Obama and Romney locked in a dead heat. And a handful of polls in the critical swing state of Ohio are all over the map: Some show Obama ahead by five points. Others show Romney with a slight lead.
Still, news agencies range from conservative to confident in predicting the outcome. A story in The Hill on Wednesday announced, "Obama still likely to emerge as winner." The Boston Herald proclaimed, "Mitt set to win, maybe by a mile."
Political junkies have always enjoyed the thrill of constructing electoral maps and paths to victory or defeat for both candidates. If-this-then-that predictions are always abundant.
That dynamic will likely grow only more intense over the next six days. For Christians watching the events unfold, mapping political strategy is intriguing, and encouraging voter turnout is critical, but a higher principle prevails that might allow for less hand-wringing in the week ahead: "For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God" (Romans 13:1).
In the meantime, it might be helpful to shelve predictions and follow the lead of the The New York Times, a newspaper conservatives don't always trust, but that seems on target with Wednesday morning's headline: "Obama and Romney in exceedingly close race."

Just wondering if you had a chance to test them. I have 4 different 7800s (though I'm not sure if there are any differenced between them). Pleaides game just shows the second stage IIRC and it doesn't play right and Funky fish only works if you are swimming to the right and bombs if you go to the left (or vice versa). If there are versions that work on the 7800 I would like to get some.
I have them. IIRC they work fine. I will double check when I get home from work...

I've played 2600 Ms. Pac-Man in my 7800 just fine.
Does anyone know of any trouble with 2600 Ms Pac Man?
I'm literally sitting on a copy of that (gluing the case back together) that just will not work in my 7800.
Alcohol cleaning didn't work. Using the cart board only didn't work (I broke the case getting it apart)
Retouching every single solder joint didn't work.
Is 2600 Ms Pac Man incompatible or is my ROM chip dead?

Can't you just cut the holesout a little further in the 7800 for Tigervision carts? I might try that when I get my first ones.
You can't cut the holes any deeper because it's actually hitting the screws holding the cart slot collar on.
Posted Mon Sep 12, 2005 9:52 AM
Git a big ol' hammer and they fit on the first try.
Dragonfire fit easier than my other Imagic titles. You may have an older 7800 that has a larger sleeve, too, or the sleeve might be cracked from someone else hammering Imagic titles into it.

Yeah yeah old ass thread. I needed someplace to post an issue that I haven't found anywhere though, so here'goes.
INTV (white label) version of He-Man MOTU worked fine on 4-sw Woody, but choked dead in my 7800. This is a crappy late-revision 7800 board with no expansion port. It fires up and plays the intro screen where Adam transforms into He-Man, but at the start screen it just freezes. Humph.
