Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (,, Najdi Arabic pronunciation: ; 1 August 1924 – 23 January 2015) was the King of Saudi Arabia and Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques from 2005 to his death in 2015. He ascended to the throne on 1 August 2005 upon the death of his half-brother, King Fahd. Abdullah, like Fahd, was one of the many sons of Ibn Saud, the founder of modern Saudi Arabia. Abdullah held important political posts throughout most of his adult life. In 1961 he became mayor of Mecca, his first public office. The following year, he was appointed commander of the Saudi Arabian National Guard, a post he was still holding when he became king. He also served as deputy defense minister and was named crown prince when Fahd took the throne in 1982. After King Fahd suffered a serious stroke in 1995, Abdullah became the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia until ascending the throne a decade later. During his reign he maintained close relations with United States and Britain and bought billions of dollars worth of defense equipment from both states. He also gave women the right to vote for municipal councils and to compete in the Olympics. Furthermore, Abdullah maintained the status quo during the waves of protest in the kingdom during the Arab Spring. In November 2013, a BBC report claimed that Saudi Arabia could obtain nuclear weapons at will from Pakistan due to a longstanding relationship. The King outlived two of his crown princes. Conservative Interior Minister Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud was named heir to the throne on the death of Sultan bin Abdulaziz in October 2011, but Nayef himself died in June 2012. Abdullah then named the 76-year-old defense minister, Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, as crown prince. According to various reports, Abdullah married about 30 times, and had more than 35 children. The king had a personal fortune estimated at US$18 billion, making him the third wealthiest head of state in the world. He died on 23 January 2015, aged 90, three weeks after being hospitalized for pneumonia, and was succeeded as king by his half-brother Salman of Saudi Arabia.

Ceradyne Receives $8.8 Million Order for Next-Generation Ceramic Body Armor (4/4/06)
Ceradyne, Inc. has received a sole-source contract from the U.S. Special Operations Command not to exceed $8.8 million for next-generation ceramic body armor components. These new components, developed by Ceradyne's research and development team to meet the Special Operations' unusual and compelling urgency, are scheduled to be shipped in the second and third quarters of 2006.
Joel Moskowitz, Ceradyne chief executive officer, said that this order represents the first of what might be a new series of lightweight ceramic armor components to be used initially by the Special Operations Command and that he is proud of the level of effort and results that had been obtained by Ceradyne's in-house ballistic development team. He anticipates that these new components may become standard issue and, if that becomes the case, the next series of orders might be placed on an open and competitive basis. Moskowitz added that Ceradyne will be competing for future orders for this new-generation armor.

Shane Matzen stood surrounded by 300 of his closest friends. The Marquette boys' basketball coach was inundated by hugs, handshakes, well wishes, thanks-yous and attaboys. Matzen's back was raw from all the slaps it took. While he worked his way around the crowd, those who couldn't be there shared their joy and appreciation by blowing up his phone with text messages, emails, Tweets and calls. His pocket was vibrating so much it looked like his hip had a twitch.
This much celebration, elation and joy came nearly an hour after Marquette secured its first trip to the Class 5 state semifinals this weekend in Columbia at Mizzou Arena. The Mustangs (20-10) played their best game of the year in a 66-53 quarterfinal win over CBC at the University of Missouri at St. Louis. "It's unbelievable," a stunned Matzen said after the game. "It's unbelievable."
In his 20 years of coaching, this is Matzen's first trip to the biggest stage. A standout player at Eldon High School, Matzen passed on the opportunity to play at three small Missouri colleges to go work as a manager for the Mizzou men's basketball team while an undergrad. From 1986 until 1990, Matzen soaked up the lessons legendary coach Norm Stewart offered. Matzen knew at an early age he wanted to coach.What better way to learn than to sit at the knee of Mizzou's 'Top Tiger?' "That first month at Mizzou, I had a lot of ego to swallow," Matzen, 43, says. "That's hard." Matzen went from being a big fish in the small pond of Eldon to be a fresh fish filling up water jugs and washing towels. It wasn't the easiest transition, but he was focused on his coaching career.
After earning a master's degree from Central Methodist University, he landed his first head coaching job at Elsberry High School in 1992. He spent three years coaching the Indians before becoming an assistant at Marquette. A year later he was named head coach.
He had no idea what he was getting himself into. "Everybody thinks they know what they're doing when they're young, that's part of being young," Matzen says. "You have to put your finger on the stove to figure out its hot. When I see my alumni, I apologize to them for having to go through that."
Those lessons have paid dividends. Matzen knows they helped him through this season, which at this moment is magical. But this is the silver lining in what was an ugly January. The Mustangs lost seven of 10 games in one stretch. They were beaten in overtime five times. At a certain point it becomes hard to beat back the doubt and keep your confidence. It's easy to give in, wave the white flag and say, It's not our year.
Matzen's not much of a white flag waiver. "They (the coaches) never stopped believing in us," senior center and Mizzou recruit Ryan Rosburg says. "We knew we could turn it around." Matzen says his team didn't do anything out of the ordinary to get back on the right track. He says the Mustangs just kept working every day to get better. "I think everybody has (that mental toughness), you just have to let it out," Matzen says.
Winners of nine straight games and dancing into their first final four, you could say the Mustangs have turned their season around. It's been a long road back to Columbia, but the one-time Mizzou manager will finally get to stalk the sidelines like his mentor. That, Matzen says, is a credit to all the kids who, at one time or another, pulled on the Marquette jersey and sweated, bled and gave their heart to the Mustangs. "I think it's all about the players," Matzen says. It's quite possibly the most important lesson of all.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- There is no question interest rates will rise eventually. When they do, interest rate-sensitive investments like bonds and bond funds will likely fall, perhaps even sharply.
Investors need to recognize that rising interest rates will be a positive sign that our and the global economy are finally on solid footing and that a return to normal has finally arrived.
From a historical perspective, the notion that stocks fall when interest rates rise is simply not true. Since 1980 the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates 67 times. During these periods of interest rate hikes, the S&P 500 rose 60 of the 67 times in the two years following the first increase, representing a positive reaction by stocks nearly 90% of the time.
Pretty good odds, if you ask us.
Don't wait for the rates to rise, prepare now. First, sell bonds, the sooner the better. Let's assume that interest rates stay at current levels. Given this assumption, your bonds and bond funds will hold their value and you will continue to earn whatever interest the yield of the bond provides. Yields are low, and the interest income you earn will continue to be anemic.
It's not ideal but where's the hidden danger? Unlike interest rates, inflationary pressures are starting to rise, which means that your "real" income -- the inflation adjusted income -- you receive is even lower than you think, perhaps even negative.
It's a risk that has remained concealed to the average retail investor although it is certainly on the minds of professional money managers and institutions. If these same managers start to sell bonds even as interest rates remain steady, the selling pressure could have an impact on your bond prices.

"From interviewing hundreds of rape and sexual assault survivors, both male and female, there's a persistent pattern by the military in essentially even refusing to accept the allegation, where the chain of command basically says, 'We are not going to even report this.' And that is much more prevalent with the male victims," Burke said. "What I've seen time and time again: a male who comes forward to report rape and sexual assault is accused of being a homosexual."
But according to Dr. Loree Sutton, a psychiatrist and retired Army brigadier general, rapes are not about sex but are instead fueled by aggression and domination. The crime is almost an animalistic demonstration that the predator "owns" the prey. Many male-on-male rapes in the military are group attacks. Some involve drugging the victims.
"It's not about gay sex. Typically the predators are heterosexual men who have this need to assert power, control and dominance," Sutton said. "It's similar to the dynamics of what happens with incest — those family bonds, the trust, the loyalty. I mean, in the military, loyalty becomes this huge factor and that is so difficult for men and women to sort out."

Posted from Bad Kung Fu
Can you make an object move without touching it?
How strong is your chi?
The following, simple device is said to provide some answers…
A Chi wheel (also known as Psi wheel or Gonzo wheel) is a small pyramid-shaped piece of paper or foil, balanced on top of a low-friction pivot such as the tip of a needle.
It is commonly used to attempt to demonstrate and develop psychokinetic powers (i.e. telekinesis).
Chi wheels are also said to provide a measure of the strength of one's chi, or vitality.
The beauty of a Chi wheel resides in its simplicity, and the ease with which one can seemingly get fast results from it.
The base of the Chi wheel is made up of a needle, pushed through a rubber.
The top is usually constructed from a 2/3in square piece of paper or foil, which is then folded along its diagonals so as to assume the shape of a small pyramid.
Psychic powers and telekinesis
Here's a quick tutorial I have thrown together (based on a method some people have found successful) on how to make your Chi wheel spin through your psychokinetic powers:
1. Our first step is going to involve making a Psi ball, which we will hold in our cupped hands, and subsequently use to spin the wheel. This involves some visualization.
Sitting in front of the Chi wheel, but not focusing on it at the moment, we're going to start drawing energy from the nearest available source: the earth.
Let's visualize drawing energy from the core of the earth, through our feet. Picture this stream of energy flowing from the deepest part of the earth, and rising as a torrent of fire to your feet. Picture yourself drawing this energy through your feet until it rises through your legs, abdomen and torso, and finally separating into two streams flowing down through each arm.
Visualize this stream of energy still flowing through each arm, twisting and meandering like a great torrent of flames, until it reaches your cupped hands, where it is gathered in a ball.
As you keep visualizing the earth's energy being drawn through your body, the Psi ball in your hands will be slowly growing. Keep going until it reaches the size of a football, and you can feel it's size, weight and texture in your hands.
You have your first Psi ball!
2. Now, still holding this ball of energy in your hands, bring it to the Chi wheell so that it would envelop the device, the foil pyramid sitting in the center. Keep visualizing this ball of energy still flowing through your hands and now starting to spin, and starting to make the Chi wheel spin with it.
Through visualization, you can also reverse the direction of the flow, and make the wheel spin the other way.
You have now just mastered basic telekinesis!
Harness the power of chi (qi)
Chi (also spelled ch'i or qi) is a vital concept of chinese culture. The term, meaning 'life force', or 'breath', is said to be a form of energy (though it cannot be measured directly) which flows through every living being and organism, and can be harnessed in the human body at a point in the lower abdomen called 'tan t'ien'.
Chi wheels are said to provide a measure of the strength of one's qi, and they have sometimes be used in the West by some martial artists to provide a physical manifestation of qi.
A version similar to the one we have built is sold commercially as the 'Chi-spinner', a tool said to "help you measure your chi energy level" (http://chi-spinner.com). cf. video 2.
Chi cultivation is an essential part, notably, of chinese internal martial arts such as T'ai Chi or Qigong, as it is said to dramatically enhance performance -notably strength, balance, and coordination. The fundamental concepts of these martial arts cannot -obviously- be picked up in a few minutes, but here are a couple of simple exercises used in chi cultivation (demonstrated in video 3):
1. Diaphragmatic, or belly breathing:
As you inhale, allow your stomach to push-out, thus relaxing your diaphragm, and allowing more air to enter your lungs. When exhaling, allow your stomach to return to its normal position.
This method of breathing is said to allow the accumulation of chi energy in the 'tan t'ien', a point an inch and a half below the navel.
2. Taoist breathing:
Taoist breathing is the contrary of belly breathing. With each breath, pull in your stomach, while allowing it to return to its normal position when exhaling.
This sort of breathing is said to help facilitate moving chi around your body.
3. Embracing the tree:
In an upright position with feet shoulder-width apart, allow your knees to drop until they are directly over your feet. Keep your back straight and relaxed. Raise your arms in front of you level with your shoulders, and extend the palms of your hands as if hugging a tree.
In this position, use abdominal breathing to accumulate qi in your tan t'ien.
Vitality meter
Chi spinners have also found themselves on the market, under a slightly different disguise: the Egely wheel.
The Egely wheel is the brain child of Dr. George Egely (http://www.egely.hu), a Hungarian scientist who, after many years of research, developped a version of the wheel featuring a very low-friction pivot.
You can see the mechanism of the Egely wheel, and the way it is used in video 4.
Dr. Egely's research suggests that his wheel gives a good measure of vitality, which he also calls 'life energy', and compares to chi. In short, it gives an indication of a person's health, fatigue, mood, and personality.
The results from his research can no-doubt translate to our Chi wheels:
– 0-2 revolutions per min: Vitality very low, must be improved.
– 2-4: Low vitality, worth improving
– 4-5: Still under average
– 6: average level
– 6-12: good healthy level
– 13-24: outstanding high level
– above 24: exceptional talent
(source: http://kirlian.org/interesting/egely/leiras2.htm)
Vitality, according to Dr. Egely, can be increased through: sleep, relaxation exercises, sport, vitamins and trace elements, diet, exposure to sunlight… etc.
Interestingly, the highest score ever on the Egely wheel was reportedly achieved by Erno Rubik, the inventor of the Rubik's cube, with 35 revolutions per minute.
Scientific explanations
Heat convection
The most common scientific explanation for the movement of the Chi wheel involves heat convection: by placing your hands around the wheel, they warm the air surrounding the wheel. This warm air, through convection, rises above the surrounding cold air thus creating a small updraft that sets the wheel in motion. The direction of this motion can then be affected by hand positioning, and the slight off-centering of the paper or foil pyramid.
Observation suggests that a temperature difference of at least 10 degrees Celsius (20F) is required between your hands and room temperature for the wheel to turn.
Air currents
The extremely low-friction pivot which is formed by the foil pyramid and the needle, means that the Chi wheel can be affected by the slightest air current, from drafts in the room, to your breath and the movement of your hands.
Again, the Chi wheel's inherent sensitivity means that vibrations from the surface it rests on can set it in motion.
Static electricity.
Video 5 demonstrates that an object charged with static electricity can easily set the wheel in motion.
Better Chi wheel design
The standard 'paper pyramid' design of the Chi wheel means that there remains a fair amount of friction between the paper and the needle, thus making it less susceptible to the influence of air currents. Consequently, it does not yield any great results for the non-gifted!
This can be improved by reducing the weight of the paper (i.e. hollowing out the sides).
Tin foil Chi wheels, tend to have less friction, though they are a bit trickier to shape. These are by far my preferred choice.
A Chi wheel which will be particularly sensitive to heat convection can be fashioned by cutting out half of each side of the pyramid, thus forming an helix.
Finally, in a pinch, the foil wrapper from the inside of a cigarettes pack makes ideal Chi wheel material (the shiny foil part should be on the inside of the pyramid, in contact with the needle, for reduced friction.
The ultimate test
Short of suspending the paper pyramid in zero gravity, the following experience should be the ultimate test of your Chi powers:
The influence of air currents can obviously be dramatically reduced by placing the Chi wheel under a glass bowl.
Contact with the surface on which the Chi wheel rests should be prohibited, in order to rule out the possibility of vibrations affecting it.
Finally, in order to rule out the possibility of other factors affecting the wheel, a second Chi wheel should be placed under the glass… The aim of the experience being to spin the main wheel, without the second (the test one) being affected.
Being able to change the direction of the spin at will would also constitute a sign of a very strong Chi!

Valencia: In-demand Silva is staying with us
Valencia's in-demand midfielder David Silva will be staying in Spain after the club rejected a bid from Manchester United.
The Spanish star had been linked with a move away as the club are struggling financially, but coach Unai Emery has maintained that his future lies with Valencia.
'Silva is my player,' he said. 'We are going to build a team and it's not possible for him to go to another club.
'Valencia is a very big club with all the possibilities for him to achieve what he wants.'
The 22-year-old is two years into a seven-year contract and showed his quality by helping Spain to win Euro 2008. Reportedly on the radar of many of Europe's top clubs, Silva's agent claimed on Tuesday that United had made a bid for the player.
'Manchester United made an offer for David Silva, but this has been turned down by Valencia,' Llorente told Sky Sports News.
'Silva doesn't want to play in England because he is happy at Valencia.
'His family are settled and if he was to move it would only be to another Spanish club, like Real Madrid or Barcelona. David Silva will start the new season at Valencia.'
Los Che supremo Vicente Soriano has also moved to quash speculation linking star striker David Villa with a move.
'I can assure everyone that Villa and Silva will stay next season with Valencia,' he told reporters.

Gain a new understanding of and appreciation for nonfiction written by, for, and about women; and better serve your readers with this genre guide to some 600 of the best titles.
September 2009
Libraries Unlimited
Hardcover: £47.00/55,00€/A$80.00
What is it that women want to know? As it turns out, a lot! Focusing on the reading interests of women, this guide maps and describes nonfiction that spans every Dewey category. What makes this body of literature unique is that it is written specifically for a female readership, and directly addresses women's issues. The author annotates more than 600 titles, with hundreds of additional titles referenced as read-alikes. Although women's fiction is widely treated as a reading interest and even a genre, until now its nonfiction counterpart has not been seriously considered outside of scholarly circles. Yet, there is a body of popular literature that specifically appeals to women. This is clearly evident in the collections of women's bookstores, which carry life stories, personal and spiritual growth collections, guides to health, wellness and beauty, and so on.Zellers's guide is designed to help readers and librarians navigate the breadth of nonfiction to find popular titles about women and women's experiences. Annotating some 600 titles, with hundreds more referenced as read-alikes; it is a valuable in readers' advisory services, as well as a great source for creating displays and programs (particularly during Women's History month). It may also be a useful resource for women's studies programs.
Jessica Zellers is a freelance public librarian and author, living in Asheville, NC.
"The annotations are engaging, insightful, often witty, and occasionally irreverent. Part of the Real Stories series (previous guides covered investigative reporting and biography), this accessible and unique readers' advisory and collection development resource is recommended for public and academic libraries."—Booklist
"This book would find a welcome place in public libraries as well as universities."—ARBAonline
"Zellers (electronic resources, Williamsburg Regional Library, Virginia) offers a practical guide for librarians, booksellers, and general readers. While nonfiction, all the listed works contain narratives, either in book-length form or as a collection of mini-narratives, which are meant to be read for pleasure. The 632 titles are arranged alphabetically by author name within eight thematic sections — biography, autobiography, and memoirs; personal growth; health, wellness, and beauty; women's history; adventure and travel; feminism and activism; women at work; women and society — each further subdivided into subgenres. All entries include the author's name, the book title, publisher, publication date, number of pages, and ISBN, followed by a brief annotation highlighting key aspects of the text. Hundreds of additional titles are incorporated throughout as suggested nonfiction and fiction read-alikes for further reading. Indexed by title/author and subject."—Reference & Research Book News
"Women's Nonfiction fills a gap in the 'reader's advisory' literature. It will serve librarians well as an all-purpose referral tool when their own knowledge fails them in certain areas, such as finance, food, self-help, how-to, work-life balance, sports, sexual discrimination, relationships, and roller derby - to name a few."—Feminist Collections
"Librarians will find this a useful reference tool, but anyone interested in books by and about women will enjoy perusing Zellers' guide."—Emerald Journal

Before getting into the topic of adding resources, we will look at combining two resources to make a virtual server. A virtual server is another NetBIOS name and IP address for a group. When created, the resources can be accessed by clients using the network name or IP address the virtual server.
For example, suppose a virtual server is created with a network name of FileServer and an IP address of 10.0.0.20/8, and all file share resources are created with the same group. This would allow all the file shares to be accessed by the UNC path \\FileServer\sharename or \\10.0.0.20\sharename or even by the name or IP address of the cluster or node on which the resources reside. The location of the physical server and of the file shares is completely transparent to clients.
The quickest way to create a virtual server is to select the Configure Application option from the File menu within the Cluster Administrator. This will launch the Cluster Application wizard which walks you through the process of creating a virtual server. By using the wizard, the Network Name and IP address resources for the virtual server are created, along with a group that will host the virtual server resource.
The steps below outline how to create a virtual server and new resource group using the wizard
- Once the wizard appears, click Next.
- Click the Create a New Virtual Server option and click Next.
- The next window allows you to create a new resource group for the virtual server. Click the Create a new resource group option and click Next. Conversely, you can also opt to use an existing group.
- Type in the Network Name for the group and an optional description. Click Next.
- Enter in the Network Name and IP address for the virtual server and click Next.
- Configure any advanced virtual server properties and click Next.
- Click Finish.

Two to Watch
After a nice day of gains for the market Tuesday, it would be nice to think that things will settle down a bit, but that's probably too tall an order for a market where volatility still reigns supreme. It's not easy to take long positions with conviction, nor is it easy to go short with conviction. It's been this way for a while. What's clear to me now is that the market foundation remains shaky at best, especially after two days of ominous selling on Thursday and Monday.
The Nasdaq Composite outperformed Tuesday, rising 0.6% on volume of nearly 1.6 billion shares -- below average but higher than Monday. Another reminder that higher-volume gains and lower-volume declines for the major averages from here would be a sign of improving market health....418 more words left in this article.

Killeen Daily Herald
Wine, eats, and other beverages are already on the menu, as the Harker Heights Chamber of Commerce's Food and Wine festival is only two days away.
The Harker Heights Chamber of Commerce has organized a Food and Wine Festival from 3 to 9 p.m. Saturday at the Harker Heights Community Park located at 1501 E. Farm-to-Market 2410.
"It is going be nice – good wine, food and music," said Ted Smith, chamber board chairman.
Between 25 and 30 vendors are already committed to the event, and still more are expected to participate, Smith said.
The chamber will probably be accepting vendors until that morning, said Chamber President Bill Kozlik.
The festival will host a variety of local food vendors from Olive Garden to the Peloton Ridge Country Club, Kozlik said.
The chamber is still compiling the list of wineries, Kozlik said.
"I think we have done very well on the vendors for this year, and the ones that aren't coming this year are committing to next year," Smith said.
Five bands will fill up the six-hour block the festival will run. The bands and solo artists included on the venue are Paul Cox, Cake in the Hall, Darryl Cruise, The Phantoms and Mac Bynum.
The chamber is expecting between 750 and 1,000 people to attend the event.
"It is going to be nice," Smith said. "My goal is to have a bunch of smiling faces leave the park on Saturday."
Tickets to the festival are $30 a person in advance and $35 at the gate. Advance tickets are available by contacting the chamber at (254) 699-4999. Each person who attends will receive a free wine glass. Find out more information about the festival at HHfoodandwine.com.
"People should come and have fun," Smith said. "It will be a good time."
Contact Mason W. Canales at email@example.com or (254) 501-7554.

Today I learned that I think is a nice tutorial to be divided on a user's friends CorelDraw.Many who claim issues opening files or CDR CorelDraw karen their differences on the CorelDRAW version used.

Theoretical analysis of complex-conjugate-ambiguity suppression in frequency-domain optical-coherence tomography
New phase-shifting techniques have recently been proposed to suppress the complex-conjugate ambiguity in frequency-domain optical-coherence tomography. A phase shift is introduced, in an elegant fashion, by incorporating a small beam offset at the scanning mirror. The tomogram is then computed by using a combination of Hilbert and Fourier transforms. This is a marked deviation from the conventional approaches, wherein each A-scan is reconstructed independently of the others. In this paper, we formulate the problem in a signal processing framework and provide theoretical proofs for maximal and partial suppression of complex-conjugate ambiguity. To supplement the theoretical derivations, we provide experimental results on in vivo measurements of a human finger nail.

I absolutely love this Salmon Oil. It is SUPERB!
Posted by iHerb Customer on Jul 06, 2011 | Verified Purchase
It looks like I'm the first to review this new product. I never get enough 03. For some reason when I take 03 fish oil caps that contain anchovy and sardines my forehead breaks out in a rash (liquid or capsules and it doesn't matter what brand it is). So when I saw this new salmon oil I bought it right away. I'm very pleased with this product. Fresh caught, Alaska wild salmon. It doesn't get any better than this. Obviously, EPA and DHA are both good for you but I read that, if possible, get oil that has more DHA in it for brain health. This has a good amount of both EPA and DHA, especially DHA. I trust this company for quality and purity. It's a win/win situation. Thank you Nordic Naturals for this new product. Great citrus taste!!!! I will buy again.

Robert Samuelson seems to think that the problem with the recovery is that people are still saving. While this is in part right, Normal 0 he is wrong to suggest that anyone should be surprised by the current level of saving.
The current saving rate is approximately 6 percent of disposable income. While Samuelson implies this is high, it is actually very low by historic standards. The saving rate averaged more than 8 percent through most of the post-war era until the wealth effect of the stock and housing bubbles drove it toward zero in the last 15 years.
Samuelson seems to think that after a couple of years of a 6 percent saving rate, saving will again fall to its bubble levels of near zero. There is no reason to expect this. As the housing bubble deflates further, households will see a further decline in wealth. They will likely increase their saving rate to the 8 percent pre-bubble range.
In fact, demographics suggest that the saving rate could rise even higher. The huge baby boom cohort is at the edge of retirement, with most having almost nothing other than their Social Security to depend upon. This provides a strong incentive to save, especially in an environment where much of the political leadership is pushing for cuts to Social Security.

Running With the Big Dogs
It's Time for the Dominant Dogs of DCS to Reassure the Market That They Still Lead the Pack
Whenever CONTROL magazine's editors write a technical article, it's a rule that we must talk to several users of that particular technology. We want to hear is your side of the story. So we ask for your opinion an. sometimes, the results can be surprising. This month was no exception.
During the process of creating this month's cover story, I asked several users for their opinions about how control systems from second-tier suppliers compare to the products offered by the dominant distributed control system (DCS) suppliers.
As I was interviewing Lewis Pettengill, a control engineer currently on assignment in Belarus, Russia, he volunteered this comment: "One item that continues to surprise me, in this day of blindingly fast PC processors, is that it has taken so long for many of the larger DCS [suppliers] to recognize the benefits resulting from robust processing speed. Many continue to putter along with 750-millisecond controllers (which includes the input and output buffer scan times) with nary a pause to consider the control ramifications." In Pettengill's opinion, if a faster one can control the plant more precisely, it usually performs better. The faster the information processing, the tighter the control can be.
Pettengill isn't the only one who thinks current DCS offerings are slow. We've heard similar arguments for the past 10 years, as processors and manufacturers continue to clamor for better control technology. But even if the big dogs of DCSs insist on selling outdated, slow hardware, does it really matter all that much? There are those among the DCS user community who think otherwise.
"It's time for the dominant dogs of DCS to reassure the market that they still lead the pack."
"If you look at most process controls, the old, standard speed is plenty adequate and, I think, more stable," says Jim Meils, critical systems supervisor at Aventis Behring, King of Prussia, Pa. "I am a fan of maintaining the standard until the standard is no longer useful. While I'm sure there are processes these days that require much more processing power, most processes don't. To pay the cost for the additional R&D for processing speed that I don't need, is not attractive to me."
"What R&D?" Pettengill says, questioning whether or not the big companies are actually doing R&D any more. "Another parameter hampering the big boys is their lack of innovation. Most have discarded their internal research departments and instead, farm out development to consultants. Their lack of home-grown continuity in their development [team] means they often roll out flavor of the week' control blitzes without understanding the underlying implications."
Bill Gough, vice president of Universal Dynamics Technologies, Richmond, British Columbia, backs Pettengill's assertion: "R&D by the big DCS companies has been lagging when it comes to automatic process control (APC) techniques. I think this is because APC is not an integral part of their business model: selling hardware and services is. Consequently, specialty companies have become the leaders in APC." In fairness, we should not fail to mention that Universal Dynamics Technologies produces "Brainwave," a specialty APC software package.
Tom Badura, an electronics project engineer at a plastics company, agrees: "The standard offerings from the big guys work for a majority of users. However, there are a small percentage of users within demanding, specialty niche markets where I expect smaller, second-tier vendors can really excel."
Users are growing more cynical as well. If the dominant dogs of DCS won't lead R&D, how will they ever keep up with the advances more nimble second-tier control suppliers will likely introduce? Badura offers us an insightful answer: "If they hit on something that really takes off, one of the big dogs will just gobble them up."
Meils agrees: "There are processes out there that do require much faster processing, and this is most likely a 'niche' market that the big boys will not enter until the need is great enough. Even then, they will most likely buy out companies that already develop and manufacture this sort of technology."
It's their image that's at stake. If my small, admittedly unscientific sampling of 150-plus users uncovers four or five people who essentially agree that the dominant DCS vendors are behind the times; have dinosaur hardware; farm out R&D and basic engineering work; and buy technological innovation rather than develope it, trouble is brewing right here in River City. How many of you out there think the same way?
It's time for the dominant dogs of DCS to reassure the market that they still lead the pack, still offer the best hardware and software in the industry, and still provide the best all-around control systems available. If not, their customers might start the hunt for better process control by turning to second-tier suppliers for technical leadership, highly experienced engineers, good service, and everything else that made the big dogs big.

The record was mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music (SEPULTURA, SUFFOCATION, UNEARTH) in New Windsor, New York. The "My Life My Way" cover artwork was brought to life this time by artist Todd Hubber, who also works with vocalist Roger Miret on designing his street wear clothing line American Made Kustom. "My Life My Way" track listing: 01. City Street
02. More Than a Memory
03. Us Against the World

13. Time Has Come Commented Miret: "After all is said and done, we are amazed on how great our new record turned out! It's by far our catchiest record to date and it's going to make everyone want to sing along for sure. Freddy killed it on the production end, just capturing that hardcore vibe that only he can get out of AGNOSTIC FRONT. The boys all put nothing but passion into the songs, and Erik Rutan just dialed it all in to make AGNOSTIC FRONT sound as natural and as organic as ever. This one will definitely be a classic once it's heard worldwide!"

Even Though The Rumor Is Now That Ryan Gosling Is Proposing To Eva Mendes, I Still Refuse To Believe It
Just a few weeks ago, super-reliable anonymous sources "let slip" that Eva Mendes was getting ready to propose to boyfriend Ryan Gosling on their one-year anniversary because she wants a baby and he wants to put a ring on it first. At the time, we called bullshit, mostly because Ryan would never let a woman propose to him. Well, send out the dogs, because rumor has it that Ryan's taken back his balls and decided to propose, dammit!
This "news" comes from the National Enquirer, which I might call actually less reliable than an unnamed source. They continue the narrative that the first report wove, about it being all about Ryan and Eva clashing on when and how to bring children into the world. (Which, to be fair, those kids would be gorgeous.) Here's what they have to say:
"Ryan is head over heels in love with Eva and he wants to have a life with her, including children. It's something Eva has balked at in the past but Ryan has a charming way of helping her see a different kind of future. She's getting on board with the idea of marriage. He is now confident when he pops the question she will say yes. Ryan wants children, as does Eva, but also believes in marriage and youngsters growing up knowing mommy and daddy are committed to each other."
Would that "charming way" be something along the lines of this?
Thought so. I could've told you that much. Nope, I'm still not convinced that any of this is true. Part of it is self-preservation, because the thought of Ryan settling down gives me that unpleasant stomach-plummeting-to-my-feet feeling. Seriously, after losing Ryan Reynolds earlier this week, it's simply cruel to tease us with these rumors. We expect Ryan to carry on his mentor George Clooney's banner of bachelorhood and date some lithe young thing for a year or two, tops, cart her along to the Oscars, and then move on to the next starlet.
Really, you would think the tabloids would be satisfied with the Ryan Reynolds/Blake Lively wedding and leave poor Gosling alone!

People do reply. I'm one of the guilty parties.
Which leads me to say......
AllyT, there's an arbitrariness to board rule enforcement. It's unfortunate, but it happens. Something worse than what you said was once said to me by an inexplicably popular member, yet it was dismissed as unimportant, though it rankled. I believe that if anyone but the member to whom I'm referring had said it, she'd have been issued a warning.
So, please reconsider your decision to leave. Some people seem to have accepted though not universally popular roles to play on this site, and we don't always have to agree with the mods' opinions (which vary person by person, anyway).

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The No. 27 Auburn men's tennis team was edged out by in-state rival No. 22 Alabama, 4-3, on Saturday in its last regular season match of the season in Tuscaloosa.
Auburn moves into the post-season 10-11 on the season and 4-7 in the SEC. Alabama ended its season 19-8 and 7-4 in the conference. Both teams head to Fayetteville, Ark. this week for the SEC Tournament.
The doubles point proved to be a prediction of the rest of the match as Alabama took the point after winning two of the three doubles matches.
Alabama started it off one court one as No. 15 Daniel Buikema and Mathieu Thibaudeau defeated Alexey Tsyrenov and Terence Nugent, 9-7. Auburn quickly tied it up on court two as Tim Puetz and Pawel Dilaj overcame Saketh Myneni and Felsenthal, 8-6.
Alabama took the point on No. 3 doubles as Javier Bes and Sammy Struyf narrowly defeated Milan Krnjetin and Lukas Marsoun, 9-8.
A back-and-forth battle to four ensued in singles and started on court five as Auburn's Dilaj tied the match at 1-1 with a win over Buikema, 6-2, 6-4. Alabama took the lead back in No. 3 singles as Struyf took down Nugent, 6-2, 6-4.
No. 66 Puetz kept it close with a win on court two over No. 98 Thibaudeau, 7-6, 6-3.
Auburn then took the lead for the only time in the match as Marsoun beat Bes, 7-5, 7-5. An upset on court one by No. 120 Myneni over No. 37 Tsyrenov, 5-7, 6-2, 6-3, tied the match at three and left both teams looking for the match-deciding fourth point.
Auburn found itself on the losing end of a tight three-set match-up on court six as Michael Jung edged out Krnjetin, 6-3, 6-7, 6-1, to clinch the 4-3 victory.

I don't wanna disable data through koodo cause then i wont get to uses my unlimited picture text. So is there a way to completely disable data via the phone settings? The problem is that sometimes when i put my phone in my pocket, it will enable certain features including data. Maybe there's an app that can help me? I heard 3G Watchdog might but i don't see a disabling option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello,Welcome to Just Answer and thanks for your question. Apocillin will not affect your immune system in any way. Adult acne (rosacea) is treated with low dose antibiotics and medications to help with inflammation. There are many things that can cause skin to itch, which your dermatologist will have to sort out when you see him. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), loratadine (Alavert, Claritin), cetirizine (Zyrtec) are some other antihistamines you can try to see if they improve the itching for you any better than what you have been taking.
Please read the link I sent you. That is why I sent it, so you could learn about rosacea. It tells all about the condition. Also, one does not become "immune" to cetirizine. Sinus infections are generally viral rather than bacterial. All people have bacteria on their bodies all the time. Strep is no exception. If it isn't causing pain it is normal.
There is no way to give anything but a "superficial" response to such a question. Just Answer is here to give advice and information about disease processes. Diagnoses are done by examination and tests conducted in a personal visit. If your doctors have not found a cause for your itching so far, you will have to see a dermatologist for a diagnosis. I hope that isn't too "superficial" for you. You also mentioned in your first question that "...acknowledged that i was i adult acne case.." then you state that the two family doctors have excluded it. Such contradictions make any attempt to answer you difficult.
There is no way anyone can give you an answer to what you have online. You will need to see the dermatologist for that. There is no way to tell if it is eczema, which just means skin inflammation.
I will opt out and take your thank you for exactly what it is worth.
