Cessna Aircraft will begin construction of its new service center in Valencia, Spain, next January and expects to open it in 2012. The airframer has appointed Jacobs Engineering to design and build the new facility, which was announced last year as the latest addition to Cessna's factory-owned support network.
Plans call for the new Valencia facility to encompass 64,000 sq ft of hangar space and 88,264 sq ft of offices, storage and shop space. In addition to its network of U.S.-based factory-owned service centers, Cessna also owns a service center at Le Bourget Airport in Paris. The Spain facility is centrally located to serve the more than 1,000 Citations based in Europe, 400 of which are based within a 90-minute flight of Valencia.
Cessna spent two years prior to last year's announcement researching and negotiating with Spain's Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea before signing a land-grant contract for the Valencia Airport location. Next year, Cessna will begin hiring technicians for the Valencia service center. Training will be provided by FlightSafety International.
Cessna (Booth No. 7091) also announced here that it is activating a European mobile service unit (MSU) by the end of this year. The exact location of the MSU has not yet been selected, but it will be in southern France and will cover that area plus Geneva, northern Italy and northern Spain.
The MSU is capable of line service through engine changes and major repairs. "The Cessna mobile service unit, part of our ServiceDirect program, has already proven its worth to our customers in the United States," said Mark Paolucci, senior vice president, customer service. "With more than 1,000 Citations delivered to European customers, we have put a great emphasis on expanding service options here."

Bleeding and Clotting Disorders
Rupture of vein in palm of hand
Recently my wife, age 56, apparently ruptured a vein in the palm of her hand while opening a jar (with little force). Symptoms were spontanous an intense itching sensation in the area, no reported pain, and an observable hematoma in the hand. This is the 2nd time this has happened. The previous incident occurred elsewhere on her arm w/o any known trauma. Is this something that needs to be checked out with her physician? Is this indicative of varicose veins? What diagnostic tests would be used? Thanks for your response.
Overall what you describe doesn't concern me too much. I'm not sure if she is on any medications, more specifically steroids which can over time make the connective tissue less resilient and more fragile. This can also happen with increasing age. Although it was only minor trauma or force, it may have been the twisting motion as well that caused the stress and the vein to rupture. I would bring this to her doctor's attention if it seems to be happening more frequently going forward into the future.

Trudeau packs TRU's Grand Hall in Kamloops visit
If nothing else, Justin Trudeau's Monday night (Jan. 21) stop in Kamloops showed
he's capable of drawing a crowd.
About 600 people packed the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University
for a session with the Liberal Party of Canada leadership hopeful on as
he fielded questions on Idle No More, university tuition costs and his
plans to defeat Prime Minister Stephen Harper, should he lead the
party into the next election.
Trudeau, son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, told the crowd
he sees federal Liberal leadership as a chance to remake
Canadian politics after years of cynicism.
"It's all about voting against," Trudeau said of Ottawa politics,
which he thinks have become more polarized and focused on point
scoring and power grabs in recent years.
"You accept the least-worst of the options out there."
Trudeau said his goal is to bring Canadians together to work on
national issues - in particular to address what he calls a
stagnating middle class, whose incomes haven't grown at the same rate
as the country's overall economy.
"There is a breakdown in the idea of progress," he said, "and that's
because our middle class isn't sharing in the success of this
He was also critical of the Harper government, which he said has
focused on "the sexiest Band-Aid" rather than looking at long-term
solutions to the country's problems because it's more concerned with
keeping power than engaging citizens.
"We have a breakdown of the trust that is supposed to exist between
the government and Canadians," he said. "This has to change."
When questioned by the crowd about specific changes, however, Trudeau
stayed away from laying out official policies.
"I'm not so worried or preoccupied with mechanisms," he told one young
woman, who asked whether he would support the creation of an act
earmarking a portion of federal transfers for post-secondary
Trudeau said his campaign is more about setting general themes.
"It's more this is where we're going, come with me and we'll build a
path together," he said.
Trudeau said he wants the federal government to have a larger role in
education, but it would need the support of the provinces. He said his
priority is to lower tuition costs for students with the greatest
financial need, rather than an accross-the-board drop.
He also praised the Idle No More movement, calling it "an
extraordinary opportunity" for the government to work with First
Nations, came out against the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline
(though he said he's staying neutral on Kinder Morgan's pipeline
expansion for now) and made a pitch for preferential ballots, should
Canada ever consider electoral reform.
In return, the audience offered him a standing ovation.
Trudeau is the first of several Liberal leadership candidates headed
through Kamloops.
David Bertschi will meet supporters on Tuesday, Jan. 22, at 10 a.m. at
the Red Beard Coffee Shop at 449 Tranquille Rd. in North Kamloops.
On Wednesday, Jan. 23, leadership contenders Martha Hall Findlay and
Karen McCrimmon will speak at a public event at 5:30 p.m. at Hoodoos
restaurant at Sun Rivers.

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends which could subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 3 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Hold."
Washington REITDividend Yield: 4.40% Washington REIT (NYSE: WRE) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.40%. Washington Real Estate Investment Trust is an equity real estate investment trust (REIT). The company engages in the ownership, operation, and development of real properties. The firm invests in real estate markets of the greater Washington D.C. metro region. The average volume for Washington REIT has been 336,700 shares per day over the past 30 days. Washington REIT has a market cap of $1.8 billion and is part of the real estate industry. Shares are up 14.9% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Friday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings rates Washington REIT as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth and increase in stock price during the past year. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including unimpressive growth in net income, disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 10.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 9.5%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displaying stagnant earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Looking ahead, our view is that this company's fundamentals will not have much impact in either direction, allowing the stock to generally move up or down based on the push and pull of the broad market.
- WASHINGTON REIT reported flat earnings per share in the most recent quarter. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past year. However, the consensus estimate suggests that this trend should reverse in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, WASHINGTON REIT reported lower earnings of $0.00 versus $0.12 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an increase in earnings to $1.65 from $0.00.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry and the overall market, WASHINGTON REIT's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for WASHINGTON REIT is rather low; currently it is at 21.78%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 1.49% significantly trails the industry average.

Florida Raging Grannies Rip CBS Super Bowl Ad :
Beurk… Here is the new anti-fat anti-soda drinking Ad you can see in New York City.
Goal: prevent weight gain from drinking sugary sodas
Just one 20-ounce bottle of soda can pack 250 calories and more than 16 teaspoons of sugar.
1 soda per day can make you 10 pounds fatter PER year..
Disgusting ad…
Google plans to eliminate approximately 300 jobs at DoubleClick, the company it recently acquired. This represents one-quarter of the 1200 Doubleclick jobs in North America.
DoubleClick employs 1500 employees worldwide. Employees outside the USA may be affected by this downsizing later.
Google also plans to sell DoubleClick's Performics a search marketing/advertising firm on search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. Keeping Performics would put Google in a conflict of interest because it would be engaged in business on both sides of the table, essentially because of selling advertising space on its own engine.
Google shares are currently trading in the $460 range, after reaching a peak of $750 in November 2007, which is a significant plunge within just 5 months.
In addition, rumors are circulating that Google may also acquire Skype (eBay) and the online travel site Expedia.com.
A newcomer to the sponsored links, TradeDoubler, an European leader in affiliate marketing, will embark on contextual advertising on March 31 with AdMatch.
Knowing the seriousness of the TradeDoubler platform and its advertisers, I look forward to seeing what AdMatch looks like.
The sponsored links will be available in three formats: text, xml feed and product display.
In its press release, the company says
"AdMatch operates as follows: the solution scans the contents of web pages and facilitates the placement of advertisements along the site's content as relevant and contextual. Thus, AdMatch helps improve the relevance of ads on your site, optimizing conversion rates and ultimately increasing your commissions."
For the moment, there is no site for Admatch.com, .eu, or .fr online. I think TradeDoubler will be
an integral part of Admatch in and among the members' section.

Blogger and Webmaster Jeremy Schoemaker aka "Shoemoney" answered questions on his blog about the famous picture where he is holding a $ 132 994.97 Google Adsense Check.
Check is real even if it's hard to believe (click to enlarge) :
It was for the month August 2005 and we can see the full month report from AdSense (he has permission from Google to display CTR and eCPM rates) : (click to enlarge)
– revenues were made on his website Nextpimp.com (Wallpapers and Free Ringtones)
– it's 100% user generated content (494 000 members)
– at the time his expenses were 1 server @ 299$ per month for hosting, so it's at least 130k profit.
– none of traffic was PPC (Pay Per Click) but was 70% from direct access, 15% from search engines and 15% from referrals
– stats : 75 000 uniques visitors per day
– to the question Do you think its possible to still earn that kind of revenue? (most often asked question), Jeremy answers : YES.
– Shoemoney never tried to make any money the first 1.5 years it was running. He just concentrated on providing a good service. About 2 years after he started the site he started to do good revenue from AdSense
Insane, no ?! these nice pics make me living again… even if people like "Shoemoney" are not a lot in this world…
And see, there is more to come: Shoemoney says that Adsense earnings only count for 5% of his total revenue on his websites.
In october Shoemoney's blog gave him $ 30 000 in direct sales (advertising logos, banners).
In march 2007 he earned $ 709 626.81 as an affiliate of Commission Junction.
Back to Adsense Check, when I look on comments in the post, Shoemoney says:
"I have a good friend that was doing about 2M per month.. so that would be about 65k per day so yes 100k every few days for sure is possible"
The guy who is speaking about must be Marcus from Plentyoffish.com (2 millions unique visitors per day!)
So I am going to bed now and I will put Shoemoney's Adsense Check just above my bed.. may be it will bring me success…
What do you think?
According to Financial Times by 2016 the internet could be the single biggest advertising medium, and brands could find it harder to reach audiences using conventional campaigns.
Place au:internet marketing or webmarketing!

I you see the big picture, the first thing you see is that my article dated december 16th is confirmed ; we can see only young people around 20 with google toys like the famous balls and other stuff.
Is there anyone older than 30 at Google..?
Yes ok I must admit I would like to be treated like a kid in this way with Google Stock Options, who wouldn't?
Shimon Sandler just received his Google's Christmas Gift as an avertiser for using Adwords, a Ipod Shuffle.
Yahoo already sent him a corkscrew kit and MSN a bottle of wine.
Shimon doesn't tell us how much he spends annually in Google as a Qualified Adwords Professional ?
Google Adsense sent earlier the 2006 Christmas Gift to its best publishers.
Why Adsense and Adwords do not send gifts randomly ? everybody would get a chance! 🙂

AMERICAN PEOPLE SUPPORT FILIBUSTER -- (House of Representatives - May 12, 2005)
(Mr. PALLONE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I just want to stress that the protection of the filibuster is something that the American people support.
I heard one of my colleagues just a few minutes ago talk about the New Jersey filibuster which is down here at the Mall with a group of people who are trying to make the point that we must protect the filibuster. We should not repeal it as the Republicans want to do, because it does protect minority rights. It protects individual freedoms in terms of making sure that justices and judges that are appointed are those that have a consensus.
I want to say that, in my State, it is not just the people involved in the New Jersey filibuster; a lot of other people have expressed their concern on this issue. Just a week or two ago, I was at Princeton University outside the Frist Student Center, and the students there at Princeton University were conducting a 24-hour filibuster which went on for almost 2 weeks, I think it may still be going on, because they felt so strongly about this issue. They feel strongly about it because it has been around for so long. It is over 200 years now that the Senate rules have provided for a filibuster, and that is what our Founding Fathers wanted, because they did not want an abuse of power. They did not want the majority to be the absolute rule.

Morning! MC-We did a half marathon this weekend. DBF ran it also, my sister doesn't run as she has knee issues and can't really. seattle-haha yes dbf and i are going to start making ourselves do leg workouts. saw your pics on fb, snow?! craziness. mia-((hugs)) i'm sorry to hear about dbf, i hope you get some sort of discussion and the situation figured out. glad to hear you'll start a job soon! RR: Half marathon yesterday, and i PR'ed. I was really not expecting to run fast as i was getting over a cold and it was pretty windy and misty when we started. DBF and i almost didn't make it into the first wave so were the last 2 people to start that wave and were 'catching' up to the race, which isn't true, it just felt that way so the first 5 miles blew by and i felt good running 7:15's or less so i just held it, dropped my pace to the low 7's for the last 4 miles and ran a 1:34 xx and really felt fine and relaxed/not pushing the whole race. dbf ran faster than last year's half so he was happy too, he ran a 1:28 xx. not that sore today, foot is a little stiff but otherwise, i feel good. NRR: relaxed and hung out at my sisters after the race/watched football. the pats stunk but it was fun to hang out with them. we made homemade potato donuts, which is super nostalgic for us as our grandmother always had them in her freezer and we ate them whenever we went to visit them. it wasn't too bad once we got a system down. FR: i only had a bite of donut, i'm not huge on donuts anymore. had homemade chicken parm the night before the race, it was super delicious
Good morning!
RR – Busy busy weekend! DBF and I did one of our favorite hikes on Saturday which is 8-9 mi round trip and 4000 feet elevation gain. It was gorgeous, perfect weather, fall colors, and a little bit of snow at the top so we made a snowman! Yesterday I ran 10 miles in the afternoon in more perfect weather, on some lovely trails near the water. My legs were definitely sore/tired from lifting, running, and the hike but the 10 was a lot better than I thought it might be! Today will be a little bit of yoga/stretching and nothing else.
NRR – Bummer football weekend here with both the Huskies and the Hawks losing close ones… dang. It was still fun to watch, anyways, and to relax with DBF. I got some good homework and studying done yesterday, and am going to take my first exam of the quarter tonight. Think this will not be a busy week at work but hopefully I can find stuff to do!
FR – Made teriyaki chicken and sweet potato fries yesterday so I will figure out something to do with those for dinner tonight.
Back in a bit for some shouts!
RR: Had a nice run yesterday in the beautiful fall weather. Saturday was yard work and house cleaning. Trying to get the house back in order after having the girls home. Getting there.
NRR: Roller coaster past few days left me pretty emotionally exhausted. So after Thursday night and dbf telling me he didn't want to go out with me anymore BUT still wanted to be friends, I was, of course, upset but figured I'd deal. He convinced me to let him come down to talk on Friday, and I reluctantly let him. He decided he was wrong and wanted to continue to be in a relationship and said he'd try harder. He apologized profusely and explained he'd had a really stressful couple of weeks and was very afraid of taking the risk of being in a serious relationship. We talked about things we needed to do differently and we are starting over.
So Friday we went out to dinner, Saturday DBF had things to do and I had some things planned but after dinner with my son I headed to his place and we watched a movie. Sunday I ran with my friends (which I'd been neglecting on Sundays so I'm going to start doing that again), I had a housewarming party to go to, so saw lots of friends I feel like I had been neglecting which was nice.
Back to the regular week today. It's the last week in this course, next week I start a new class which I think is something to do with the programs DR. offices and hospitals use - but not positive. I know I have at least one new book coming though.
FR: I've been doing pretty well and feeling much better the past week. Clothes are starting to fit better. I am employing more moderation with eating as well as my exercise and it seems to help.
SJP: Awesome job on your half!! Did you and DBF stick together for most of the race of run separately.
Seattle: So what is the favorite hike? Sounds like you really know how to make the most of your weekend including both fun and getting stuff done.
Hi all:
RR: Yoga/sculpt tonight. Had a great hike with DH and dogs yesterday -- we went up high where there were fewer crowds, leaves were beautiful. Just a gorgeous day. Really going to buckle down on running this week. I love to run at lunch but I'm letting work get in the way too much. I seriously need to get my weekly mileage back up in the double digits for crying out loud.
NRR: Great weekend: Band played Friday night to a good crowd, had fun with younger sis watching movies Saturday, hike yesterday followed by dinner with DD and her DBF at one of our favorite Mexican places in town: fantastic margaritas and really good fish tacos. Monday came way, way too soon. I had a bunch of stuff due this morning and should have worked yesterday. I lucked out because a meeting got canceled so I was able to get my act together just in the nick of time.
SJP: Congrats on your PR!! That is fantastic, and sounds like you weren't even pushing that hard. It's great that your DBF runs, too -- I didn't realize he was as serious about it as well. Do you usually run with him most days? Potato donuts sound awesome!
Seattle: Sounds like we had similar hiking experiences this weekend. I so love the fall colors! Sorry about your football games. Sounds like you got a good amount of schoolwork done, too, which will set you up well for the week. Good luck on your exam!
Mia: Does sound like a roller-coaster with DBF, but seems like every relationship has to have some ups and downs along the way. It does seem as if you two are so compatible most of the time. And you are so independent, I can't imagine that you make him feel crowded. So he'll just have to get his mind around being in a relationship -- or not. I guess. Really great that you're starting to do the Sunday run with friends again. I really need to get my house in order, too, especially cleaning floors. DD and her DBF are going to house-sit for us startign Friday night this week, so that will be good motivation to give the place a thorough scrubbing. Glad you're feeling about how your clothes fit: I wish I had the magic bullet for staying on even keel in that regard. I always feel like I'm trying to get "back on track."
sjp - super congrats on your super speedy half marathon PR! sounds like it was a great race, I love it when you can exceed your own expectations like that. sounds like we had a pretty similar football weekend but glad you had fun despite that! The snow was at 4800 feet but it was still sunny and warm, which was awesome!
Mia - yesterday was absolutely gorgeous! (actually the whole weekend was really nice). Glad you got to get out and enjoy it! The hike we did was Granite Mountain, off I-90 at the same exit as Denny Creek/Franklin Falls/etc. It's pretty tough but it's a fantastic hike! So glad that you were able to hash things out with DBF - I'm sure it was stressful but it sounds like you guys were able to have open communication about it in the end, which is great.
MC - sounds like you had a great weekend! It's so nice to be able to get out in the great outdoors and just get away from everything. I totally agree that the weekend went by way too quickly! I guess that happens when they are busy! I have been craving Mexican food lately, may need to grab some this weekend... big meals like that always seem to taste so much better when you have done something super active like a big hike or run during the day. Plus less guilt over having the beer or margaritas with it!

GIBSONTON — Heading into the second half of the season, Tampa Bay Tech's games have usually followed the same script: start strong, lag a little and finish strong.
It's not necessarily the way first-year coach Reggie Lawrence would prefer it, but with the district tournament looming next month, he can't complain about the outcome.
And in Tuesday's key Class 5A-8 district matchup at East Bay, the result was another win, as the Titans remained undefeated in district play with a 46-40 victory over the Indians.
After taking a 12-2 lead, the Titans (13-2, 8-0) allowed the Indians back into the game, clutching a three-point lead heading into the final quarter. Another 12-2 run helped the Titans close out the victory.
In the final quarter, Tampa Bay Tech switched to a man defense that got East Bay out of its rhythm.
"That will ignite us sometimes, and I guess it did this time," Lawrence said. "We had to pick up the intensity. We were playing flat.
"I think we should be playing better. We're turning the basketball over too much, making too many simple mistakes. We have time. It's a lot of correctable stuff. I just think that with a senior-laden team, we'd be playing better basketball."
Senior J.J. Rodriguez and junior Dasia Daniels led Tampa Bay Tech with 14 points each. Rodriguez was a force inside, scoring 10 of her points in the first half, while Daniels' perimeter shooting dominated the second half, as she scored 10 after the half.
"Everyone stepped their game up, on defense especially," Rodriguez said of the fourth-quarter run. "We were kind of slacking, but we brought the intensity back up. We have to find ways to bring back that intensity."
Brittany Mobley and Stacy-Ann Blake led East Bay (10-7, 4-4), which lost its first game at home, with eight points each. The Indians are fourth in the district, but face Plant City tonight and second-place Durant on Friday.

Two men have been arrested in the death of a woman whose body was found Wednesday on Redington Road east of Tucson.
Richard Radvansky, 31, and Jesse Ray Simonsen, 27, were booked into the Pima County jail. Each faces a count of manslaughter in the death of Melissa Sparks, 28.
At about 6:40 a.m. Thursday, Radvansky flagged down a car and "told the driver that his friend committed suicide and asked him to call the police," Deputy Jesus Bañuelos, spokesman for the Pima County Sheriff's Department, said in a news release.
The victim's body was found on the side of the road.
"Deputies spoke to Mr. Radvansky about the incident and learned there was another person involved," Bañuelos said.
"Deputies located Mr. Simonsen a few miles down Redington Road and detained him," he said.
That's when homicide detectives were called to the scene and the two men admitted to being with Sparks earlier in the morning, Bañuelos said.
The investigation is ongoing.

It's a word that, like this project, means a lot to me. Putucos started as a blog, www.putucos.com, featuring designers, brands and products that caught my attention. Later I decided to make a line of home accessories inspired by those things in live that catch my eye. I know get to share them with friends and family on Etsy.

The hymns, mainly those of the second (older) part, represent very characteristically the spirit of 16th century Anabaptism (Swiss Brethren), namely, the conviction that their church is a "suffering church" in a relentless world, and that martyrdom is the fate of earnest Christians everywhere. The dominant tone is one of great sorrow, deep loneliness, and protest against a world of wickedness. Yet there is no despair but rather a note of triumph: God will not forsake His own. Among the best-known hymns is No. 131: "O Gott Vater, wir loben Dich und deine Güte preisen," still sung today by the Amish at the beginning of every worship service. According to Wolkan, Lieder, this hymn goes back to Leenaert Clock of Holland, 1625, but it fits beautifully into the context and prevailing spirit.
The first hymn in the collection comes from Sebastian Franck, who was by no means an Anabaptist but whose song fittingly introduces the whole group: "This first hymn teaches us how the Christians in spirit and truth should sing, pray, and give praise in Psalms." No. 2 is a metrical version of the Athanasian creed; Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 8 were written by Georg Blaurock, Felix Manz, Michael Sattler, and Hans Hut respectively, all martyred at the very outset of the Anabaptist movement. Other martyr hymns are by Leonhard Schiemer, Hans Schlaffer, George Blaurock, and Hans Leupold, all victims of the first wave of persecution before 1530. Five hymns are by Hans Büchel, the Swiss brother who was present at the Frankental colloquium. Eleven hymns are of Dutch origin, and another 11 come from North Germany. Five hymns are, strangely enough, borrowed from the Bohemian Brethren. Many hymns contain exposition of some Bible doctrines (baptism, Lord's Supper, feetwashing, even Trinity). No. 57 treats of love ("Die Lieb ist kalt jetzt in der Welt"). Naturally the gloomy outlook on life prevails; e.g., No. 46 (Hans Büchel) has the title "A new Christian hymn of the present terrible latter days in which so many different sects, fanatics and false prophets appear as well as blood-thirsty tyrants." But No. 65 opens with a stanza of joy: "Frölich pfleg ich zu singen Wenn ich solche Freud betracht." While it may be true that most of these hymns, written by men with little poetic genius, are not of a high literary quality, they yet make up for this in sincerity of purpose and the depth of religious conviction.
To us today it seems hardly understandable how some of these very long and cumbersome hymns were sung, sung in worship and also at many other social occasions. Every hymn in the Ausbund has a headline indicating the tune. The Brethren never used notes but assumed that these (popular) tunes are known to all as true folk tunes are. Research has disclosed that most of these tunes were secular ones current during the 16th century, and some are still older. Sometimes the original tune of the popular folk song seems hardly fitting to so serious a hymn (e.g., the martyr's story of a brother is sung to the tune, "There went a maiden with a jug"), but it was the text rather than the tune which mattered. Thanks to the work done by G. P. Jackson (1945-46) we are now fairly well informed about the originals of most of these tunes, some of which can be dated as early as 1506, 1512, etc. One tune is from the 13th century, another from 1394. The hymn, "O Gott Vater, wir loben Dich," is sung to the tune "Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu Dir," which is found to correspond to the secular tune, "Es wollt ein Mägdlein Wasser holen," dated 1534. Today, all the songs are sung very slowly (langsame Weis) which prompted J. W. Yoder to assume a kinship to the Gregorian chant. It seems, however, that Jackson's interpretation comes nearer to truth that in uncontrolled group singing each tune is dragged out, which leads to all kinds of strange ornamentation foreign to the original tune.
As already suggested the Ausbund went through many European editions, all of them without place of publication (until 1809), and naturally without indicating the editors. Hence the subtitle, "Most useful to all Christians of whatever denomination, impartial." Very few copies from the 16th and 17th centuries have been preserved (more in America, fewer in Europe). As late as 1692 the government of Bern, Switzerland, placed the book on the proscribed list and ordered its confiscation when found (Müller, Berner Täufer, 104). All American editions are amplified by two appendices containing the Confessio of Thomas v. Imbroich (1558) and Ein wahrhaftiger Bericht, "The true story of the hardships which the Brethren around Zürich had to suffer for their faith's sake between 1635 and 1645" (a collection of martyr stories). From an other old Anabaptist hymn pamphlet of the 17th century, six "Spiritual Songs" were added ("Tobias war ein frommer Mann," etc.). Ausbund apparently means a "select" selection.
The most thorough discussion in English is found in C. Henry Smith, The Mennonite Immigration to Pennsylvania. Norristown, PA, 1929: 331-42, and 255-57 (there also the tune of "O Gott Vater wir loben Dich," 257).
Bender's discovery and description of the oldest edition of 1564 is reported in Mennonite Quarterly Review 3 (1929): 145-50.

Jerusalem (Jun. 27)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency Mail Service)
Residents of Tel-Aviv, particularly of the northeastern section (Lev Tel-Aviv around the Merkaz Baalei Melacha), felt slight earthquake shocks that lasted about a second at 9:50 last night. There were five shocks in all, the last of which was the most powerful. The shocks did nothing more than shake windows, doors and furniture, while children in bed cried out they were being pushed from underneath. The direction of the seismic disturbance was from west to east, and apparently came from Egypt or a country further west.
The shocks were also felt in the surrounding colonies. At Rehoboth the length of the disturbance must have been at least five second. Other patts of Palestine report shocks of similar duration. No disturbance is reported from Tiberias. At Haifa and in Galilee the shocks occurred at 9.50 precisely.
In Cairo, a report states, similar shocks were experienced.

In all but one or two cases, if I were seated with one of these people on a plane, I'd ask to be moved next to a crying baby or a drunk.

So far, and that's an important qualification, watching "Big Brother" is only slightly more exciting than watching a drugstore surveillance tape. One week in, CBS's five-nights-a-week series remains slow, self-conscious, and visually sterile. [13 Jul 2000]Boston Globe Full Review

Epson Pro Cinema 800 Home Theater Projector
- Exceptional color accuracy out of the box
- Color saturation
- Extremely bright in its brightest modes
- Very good shadow details
- As good a black level as I've seen from an LCD HT projector
- Great styling (ok, that's dependent on individual taste)
- Best warranty available
- Has the most lens shift range (vertical and horizontal) for most flexibility in ceiling mounting, shelf mounting or placing on a low table
- Comes with ceiling mount and spare lamp
- All preset modes perform extremely well. And Cinema Day, which, while darker than Vivid, still offers lots of brightness, and great color balance
- 9 user savable settings
- Exceptional range of controls over image (those of you who love to tweak, will love the customizable gamma, separate brightness/contrast/white levels/black levels controls and more
- Front venting allows for shelf mounting in the back of your room
- Zoom lens has good range (1.5:1), although not as good as some (Panasonic AE900u and Sanyo Z4 have 2:1 zooms
- Very price competitive
- Good remote control – backlit and bright enough to read in the dark, easy to remember where which buttons do what
- Noiser than most in all but its two quiet modes, but should be perfectly acceptable to all but the most fan noise adverse users
- slight loss of detail in the brightest areas
- Can't match the black levels of DLP projectors with the Darkchip3 processor, although all the Darkchip3 projectors except one (Optoma H78DC3) are more expensive (from $1000 to $11,000 more!
- Sharpness though good, could be a bit better. It is no match for, say the BenQ PE-8720 which sells for at least $2000 more.
Typical Capabilities
- Menus – good, logical layout but more levels to navigate than many other projectors
- Manual
- Lamp life (2000 hours under full power, up to 3000 hours)
- Pixel visibility and Screen door effect (compared to other LCD home theater projectors) Of the LCD projectors, only the Panasonic AE900u has less visible pixels, the Sanyo Z4's pixels are more visible…
Bottom line – If you are looking for a premium quality home theater solution that can function in a dedicated home theater with virtually no ambient light – or one for the family room where you can control lighting but still have enough to challenge other home theater projectors, the Pro Cinema 800 projector, should be about the top of your shopping list. Add to that its excellent color and saturation (without any adjustments), excellent shadow detail, and an unbeatable warranty, and Epson has a projector here, that is going to be tough to beat.
If you are seeking the ultimate in black levels you'll still need a Darkchip3 DLP projector,or if you like to sit closer than most people (where the pixels become visible), DLP will also have the advantage. Other than that, this is likely your best choice. You will be hard pressed to find a better investment in its price range, at this time.
Kudos to Epson. Their Cinema 550 is a top contender in its lower price range, but overall, this Epson is truly a more impressive value, even at its higher price.

Eni and Total have entered into a special license and R&D Cooperation Agreement for Eni Slurry Technology (EST) and started today to work together to evaluate and tailor the technology to Total's requirements.
Eni Slurry Technology (EST) is the most recent refining process for converting heavy feedstock into lighter components. It has been entirely developed in Italy by Eni R&D, and implemented in Sannazzaro refinery since 2013.
Commenting on the deal, Giacomo Rispoli, Eni's Refining & Marketing and Chemicals Executive Vice President Portfolio Management & Supply and Licensing, said: "After two years of successful operation of the Sannazzaro refinery's EST unit, the first of its kind in the world, a new, proven technology is now commercially available to be assessed as an option for upgrading the bottom of the barrel. The technology arrives more than 40 years after the existing processes were first developed and is the result of 15 years of R&D and commercial demonstrations.'
"One of the challenges for refining activities is to keep pace, within an economically viable model, with trends in oil markets, especially those resulting from changing legislation and fuel specifications,' added Nathalie Brunelle, Senior Vice President Strategy, Development and Research of Total Refining & Chemicals. "This R&D cooperation project with Eni allows Total to enhance its know-how and expertise, and to have access to another proven technology for bottom of the barrel conversion.'

Customising Magento®
Magento® is an open-source platform written in PHP, and as such is readily customisable. However this requires expert experience – undertaking this without a proper understanding of the internal details of the platform can quickly yield a poor solution. We have worked extensively with the platform since its inception, and have developed a large number of modules to extend it that are compliant, well-written, and work reliably across different version of Magento® (indicating adherence to best practices).
Most components would be customised by the commissioning of a new module that adds new functionality, or enriches existing functionality. There is little that can't be achieved in this manner.

Hi Dmitry,
Is it possible that fsolve is returning a local minima? What happens
if you use something very close to the exact solution as the starting
Tom, thanks for your reply!!!
In fact, I don't know the exact solution, therefore I
pointed ZERO values as the starting ones. In fact, the
solution, as I've written, is very close, but still it
doesn't satisfy the accuracy requirements. Concerning
Jacobian, I tried both: calculating it myself and making
FSOLVE do it. The difference doesn't seem much.
At the end of iteration process I saw the warning:
"Optimizer appears to be converging to a minimum that is
not a root:
Sum of squares of the function values is > sqrt
Try again with a new starting point."
So the optimizer has found a minimum but not a zero,
however the criterion (of FSOLVE function) is satisfied!!!
How can I guess the starting point? How can I improve
FSOLVE work?
Thanks in advance,
What about the condition number of the Jacobian?

Hello Dmitry:
There are two standard metrics for measuring "suitability"
for an approximate solution:
a) check how close to zero is the current solution
b) check how close to the exact one is the current solution
In order to have an estimate for b) you need to expand the
nonlinear vector function and truncate. Thus, you will need
the Jacobian, and indirectly its condition number will play
a role.
The other option does not provide any cue about how close
are you to the exact solution. In some cases (I have
suffered from that) requiring the "relative change" to be
below a prescribed, low level, is not a wise idea.
The reason arises when (at least in my case) there exist
severe cancellation and shift out, thus precluding to
improve the results using double precision. To make things
worse, such pathology IS NOT related with the condition
number of anything, but with the deep limitations of the
number system.
In my case (which might serve for others) I managed to
recalculate the residual (i.e. option a)) using
higher-than-double precision. Despite tiny, the changes
close to the solution were significant enough to make again
valid all the math behind the algorithms.
Hope this helps
PD: as a higher-than-double precision I can mention the
Multiple Precision Toolbox by Ben barrowes, available on the FEX

You may wish to try lsqnonlin. Normally, the Levenberg-
Marquardt approach provides better convergence.
Good luck

From my experience with Matlab I have to say "forget it". Neither
'fsolve' nor 'lsqnonlin' can solve any serious problem.
Last year I attended a student whose task was to check out the
capabilities of 'fsolve' and 'lsqnonlin'. The problem statement was
to find the steady-state solution for a mixing process of compressible
gases. Although the initial value was equal to the exact solution in
5 digits after the decimal point and the Jacobi matrix was provided
analytically, neither of the two commands could find a solution. After
weeks of fiddling with options and tolerances we forwarded the problem
to The Mathworks. The response was disillusioning -- in summary "no
chance" to solve it in any reasonable computing time. Our target was
less than 2 minutes, The Mathworks support estimated that it may be
possible to solve it over night with the help of a global optimizer.
Nota bene: The exact solution was calculated with Dymola/Modelica in
less than a second with initial values set to zero! The current
Modelica model has approx. 300 linear equations and approx. 100
non-linear equations. I don't even think about feeding that into
<flame>The Mathworks definitely should invest more money in algorithms
than in GUI gimmicks.</flame>

Kyle Mitchell is a Canadian based professional actor who has been performing in commercials, theatre, television and film productions across Canada since the age of six. His portrayal of "Boy Kicking Soccer Ball" in a 1983, Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial, garnered Kyle as much KFC chicken as he could eat while on-set, a $50.00 cheque and vast amounts of acclaim from both his mother and father. The young, Mr. Mitchell may have been the happiest 6-year-old of all time, that day. A mere 12 years later, while attending the renowned Victoria School of the Arts, Kyle was once again thrust into the spotlight as a "Featured Performer" (for two seasons) on the much loved CBC TV series, "Jake and the Kid", thusly cementing Mr. Mitchell's desire to never, ever have a regular, 9-5 office job... ever. Since that fateful, 20-episode run on "Jake", Kyle has appeared on many stages and screens around the world. Over the years, Mr. Mitchell has had the great pleasure to study performance from the likes of Jerry Stiller, Robin Duke, Joe Flaherty and John Dunsworth, to name but a few. In the rare times Kyle has a few moments away from performing, he is an avid athlete, musician, writer and hunter of the Muse.
Name: Kyle Mitchell
Known for: Lizzie Borden Took an Ax

Curling Up With A Good E-Book
Can Sony Corp. (SNE ) make the iPod of digital books? That's the plan. At the Consumer Electronics Show on Jan. 4 in Las Vegas, BusinessWeek has learned, the Japanese giant plans to unveil a portable e-reader device for the U.S. The new gadget will let users store and view digital books and will sell for $300 to $500, about the same price range as a full-size iPod. Sony, which would provide few details about the e-reader, also has agreements with at least three major publishers to sell digital book downloads on its Sony Connect online store -- much the way Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL ) sells music and video at its iTunes Music Store.
Back in 2000, a bunch of e-book readers hit the market, only to tank because the technology didn't adequately duplicate the book reading experience. Now, with everyone from Google (GOOG ) to Microsoft (MSFT ) to HarperCollins (NWS ) digitizing books, plus the arrival of slick new display technology, Sony figures the time is right for a handheld e-reader in the U.S.
But while Sony's iPod-like strategy -- seamlessly wedding content to hardware -- has promise, reading books on a digital device still feels nothing like the real thing to most consumers. As such, it will be an uphill battle building a sizable market for e-books, which accounted for an estimated 0.2% of the 944 million books U.S. publishers sold worldwide in 2004. "No one has created a device compelling enough to have mass appeal," says Nick Bogaty, executive director of the International Digital Publishing Forum, an industry group.
Is Sony up to the challenge? Once the gadget king, the company has suffered a string of recent misses thanks to iffy execution in digital media. Sony's late arrival to the digital music business and its proprietary approach let Apple dominate a category Sony once owned. In 2004, Sony launched an e-book reader in Japan that also failed to take off. Called the Librie, it won plaudits for design, but its high price and draconian antipiracy technology -- users could only "rent" books from Sony for 60 days before the books deleted themselves -- scared off consumers.
Now, in the U.S., Sony has a second chance to build a market for digital books. While few details about the new reader are available, it's fair to say it will be an impressive piece of gadgetry. According to sources who have seen the device, it is similar in many ways to the Japanese Librie. Both devices use E Ink, a display technology developed by E Ink Corp. in Cambridge, Mass. E Ink forms text by electronically arranging thousands of tiny black and white capsules, creating an experience remarkably similar to reading a printed page. Unlike the liquid-crystal display screens used in personal digital assistants, there is no backlight to strain readers' eyes, and characters show up sharp and clear, even in full sunlight. And since the gadget requires power only to "turn" pages, users should be able to read more than 15 books between charges.
To create a market for the device, Sony will take a page from Apple by setting up an online store, which will be run as part of its existing music downloading service, Connect. And as Apple did with music, Sony has lined up major players in publishing, including Random House, Simon & Schuster (VIA ), and HarperCollins, to sell books through the store.
The service will start out with just the few thousand books each publisher currently sells in e-book form at prices close to mass-market paperbacks. But that number will grow fast. Jane Friedman, CEO of HarperCollins Publishers Inc., says she plans to digitize the entire frontlist and backlist -- up to 25,000 titles -- and make them available at the Sony store as soon as HarperCollins negotiates royalty rights with authors. Random House Inc., meanwhile, will also offer its entire front- and backlist for sale online -- another 25,000 titles.
Publishers, looking for ways to boost the industry's anemic single-digit sales growth, are eager to talk up the reader and online store. "We hope it's going to be the equivalent of when the Walkman or the iPod came out" and audio books saw a spike in sales, says Friedman. Adds Richard Sarnoff, president of Random House's corporate development group: "[With E Ink] you're looking at an advance [in the market] for pure technology reasons....this is a major leap forward in terms of consumer experience."
Appealing technology and the backing of the publishing community are a good beginning. But Sony faces a number of challenges. For one, other companies also have access to the potentially game-changing E Ink technology. Yes, Sony will come to market ahead of the pack. But in the first half of '06, iRex Technologies, a Philips Electronics (PHG )spin-off, and a Chinese company called Jinke Co. both plan to launch similar devices in the U.S. Then in early '07, another Philips spin-off called Polymer Vision and a British startup called Plastic Logic Ltd. plan to introduce readers that are even more booklike than Sony's device. The Polymer Vision reader will roll up like papyrus, while Plastic Logic's reader will be about as flexible as the magazine you're reading.
With rivals in the wings, Sony has a huge incentive to make its reader work with as many formats as possible. That's always a stretch for this famously proprietary company, but Sony seems to be getting religion this time around. Users will be able to load any .pdf file onto the reader, according to a person familiar with the device, as well as files with a special Sony e-book format. That means you'll be able to read everything from magazine articles to analyst reports to out-of-copyright books. And rather than requiring users to transfer data onto the device with Sony's proprietary "memory stick," the reader also will be able to connect via a computer's USB port and accept standard SD memory cards that are already found in many digital devices.
Beyond that, Sony has to hope consumers find the same pleasure curling up by the fire or on the beach with an e-book reader as they do with an old-fashioned paperback. "[Like online music four years ago], e-books are an untapped market," says JupiterResearch (JUPM ) analyst Michael Gartenberg. "The iPod-iTunes success was an exercise in finding the consumer sweet spot." Sony badly needs a hit, but repeating Apple's success with books won't be easy.
|Corrections and Clarifications "Curling up with a good e-book" (News: Analysis & Commentary, Jan. 9) misstated the total number of books sold by U.S. publishers worldwide in 2004. The correct figure is 2.3 billion; e-books account for just under 0.1% of that number.

The Cisco Catalyst 4000/4500 Series 24-port 10/100/1000BASE-T line card provides 24 RJ-45 ports with triple speed auto-sensing and auto-negotiating technology, enabling all ports to be used at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps up to 100 meters over Category 5 copper cabling. This module provides wiring closet investment protection by allowing Fast Ethernet desktops today to migrate to Gigabit Ethernet in the future without replacing the switch line cards. The 24 ports can burst to Gigabit Ethernet line rate and share 12 Gbps of capacity (6 Gbps full-duplex) into the switching fabric. The amount of oversubscription can be controlled by varying the number of ports used at 1000 Mbps. All ports can utilize Gigabit EtherChannel or IEEE 802.3ad for high-speed interconnection applications. All ports use the standard IEEE 802.1x flow control (PAUSE frame) mechanism to control Gigabit Ethernet host traffic.

Day 20: Fabulous Front DoorsCan you believe only 20 more days...I'm getting butterflies. I swear I'm just like a little kid this year! So, I finished my front door on Tuesday! Yippee! I used everything that I already had. Last year I hung garland with oversized ornaments and put lights on my topiary thingys. This year I went to our local thrift store just as they were putting out Christmas stuff and found this huge roll of wired ribbon. It was tagged at $.79. Then on the side of the ribbon roll was the original prices. $45.99. WHOA! Did I get a good deal. Then I started looking and I found the matching bow that someone had already made and it was $.25! So, I brought them home and they've been patiently waiting for me to bring them out in all their splendor! Now this ribbon is more like high end fabric on a skinny roll with wire. It's Awesome. It even looks pretty on the roll and I'm sure my camera didn't to do justice. Okay...enough already, here is my front door and a few of my other favorites!
I had to show you my little doves first. Now, these doves are special. They came off a flower arrangement when my Papaw died 12 years ago and when I asked my mom to make me a winter wreath she put them on. I've moved them to this new wreath because one year I left it out too long into spring and a real little birdy started building a nest and it has the perfect little white feathers. That little birdy didn't stick around but left the sweetest little nest. Also, the wreath itself was always pretty because it has what looks like ice drops on the tips of the wreath. It was a target after Christmas steal years ago. Now, it's been redone and reused.
Well, here you go! That's me standing in the walkway with my reflection in the door taking a picture! ; ) Okay, so I'm done and I think I'll be more impressed at night. It's all about the lights anyway right?
Next year I'm getting bigger garland this 7 year old garland is getting sad I think! Oh, well, it'll work! Like the bows?
Now for a few of my favorites...
I mostly love ThriftDecorChicks door because she has the beautiful gold "Welcome" on the door. I can't do that on mine because of the glass. I also can't add my beautiful gold door knocker my mom bought us when we were building our house because I had to go and pick a door with a glass front! I love it but the grass is always greener right? Well, her doorway looks so cozy!
I like the way the ribbon used to hang these wreaths and the seashells!
OOOO! Lights! I'm a kid again!
HMMM! The purple is so Delicious!
Then the simple greenery in that wreath is Heaven!
Couldn't you just Die! Makes me want a cute little girl...for about 10 seconds.
Then look at the topiaries. Beautiful and it's by parents.com
I want it, I want it, I want it!
I tell you goodhousekeeping.com needs to read more often!
Or Deck it out Dollywood Style!
I love Dolly!!!
Did you know Dolly and her husband were married in my little home down of Ringgold?
Yea! One of the signs blew upside down.
Just thought I'd share that. I found this great blog of a photographer who takes pictures of places in our area. So I'm sharing it so you can get an idea of what I get to see! It's Northwest Georgia in all it's Splendor

Families Seeking Refuge in Milwaukee
Photographs of 'A New Life' at Alfons Gallery
Kay Xiong Yang and her husband Lee Yang head one of the families featured in the photographs. Xiong Yang came to the United States about 20 years ago, her own family having fled their rural Laotian village because of government persecution. Xiong Yang grew up in a Thai refugee camp and today rents a farm in Oak Creek where 22 acres are a source of income, pride and fulfillment. Ruebartsch captures a portrait of Xiong Yang on her 1950s Allis Chalmers tractor, an image of determination and strength.
Culture may reflect the place we come from, but it can also be carried along wherever we go though the clothing worn or the objects, both symbolic and decorative, we choose to have in the place we live. Yarey and Adey are two sisters from Somalia who live in different households with their children but maintain close family ties. Ruebartsch's portrait of Yarey brings us into her home where her love of crochet and textiles is well represented by the handmade bed cover and decorative fabrics on the walls. Her clothing—a long printed skirt, orange paisley blouse and diaphanous green turban—reflects an adherence to cultural identity which is an aspect a number of the exhibition portraits highlight.
"A New Life: Portraits of Refugee Families in Milwaukee" reveals a side of our city we may not be aware of or not see except in brief passing moments. It is an exhibition documenting the extraordinary stories, accomplishments and hopes of fellow citizens and neighbors.
"A New Life: Portraits of Refugee Families in Milwaukee" continues at Alfons Gallery (St. Joseph Center, 1501 S. Layton Blvd., second floor) through June 22.
