Microsoft Succeeds: ISO and IEC Dismiss OOXML Appeals
The technical boards of ISO and IEC have dismissed appeals by four of its members against adopting Microsoft's Office Open XML formats as an ISO/IEC International Standard.
"None of the appeals from Brazil, India, South Africa and Venezuela received the support for further processing of two-thirds of the members of the ISO Technical Management Board and IEC Standardization Management Board," the organization stated in a short press release.
The four national bodies used their right to protest against the controversial certification process, a unique occurrence in the history of the ISO. The formal protest was caused in part by the so-called Fast Track procedure, which dictated the format. Although the ISO vote was fiercely opposed and generated discussions echoed in the media, according to ISO guidelines, only the formal proceedings were allowed to be investigated. After a first look at the appeals, both the General Secretaries of ISO and IEC were reaching the unsurprising conclusion that proceedings had been carried out correctly and recommended the technical committees quash the appeals.
However, the response did not go completely unnoticed by the Standards Bodies, which described the protests as "important debate regarding technical and procedural issues" in a press release. "Experiences from the ISO/IEC 29500 process will provide important input to ISO and IEC and their respective national bodies and national committees in their efforts to continually improve standards development policies and procedures," they said.
For some of the disgruntled member states, this vague statement will not go far enough. On his blog, Jomar Silva, a member of the Brazilian committee, said, "As a Brazilian and as a person who lost a year of life working seriously on it, I can only feel offended and attacked with this decision." His suspicions are that the opposing countries have been treated second in line and he calls for action, saying, "I believe that the time has come for developing countries unite to build an International Standardization Institution that is appropriate to our reality, that understands our problems and aspirations and that treat us with the minimum amount of respect and dignity."
Four months after the decision, the ISO Certification – number ISO/IEC DIS 29500 – will be launched in the next few weeks, according to the ISO. Meanwhile, Microsoft has pledged support for the free Open Document Format (ODF), which has been certified as Standard since 2006.

12/02/13 - Fox News Latino - Downpours In Havana Cause 49 Historic Buildings To Collapse
The torrential rainstorm that on the weekend lashed the northern coast of
western and central Cuba caused at least 49 buildings to partially or fully
collapse in the capital and forced the evacuation of more than 400
families, local media reported on Sunday.
The bad weather on Friday and Saturday severely affected Havana and set a
new 24-hour rainfall record for the month of November - the previous record
was set in 1909 - with the Casablanca meteorological station recording
228.3 millimeters (8.99 inches) of rain between Friday and Saturday
By Saturday afternoon, 49 building collapses - eight of them complete
collapses - had been reported in the capital, according to the official
daily Juventud Rebelde.
On Saturday, it was learned that two people had died in one of those
structural collapses.
The provincial Government Defense Council vice president, Juan Montalvo,
warned that when the rains end buildings weakened by the water tend to
collapse and he called for more preventive measures in homes and the areas
most prone to such damage.
According to the latest bulletins issued by Insmet, the island's weather
forecasting center, the rains began to lessen on Saturday afternoon.
Nevertheless, the government's Special Warning No. 6 did not rule out that
intense squalls and downpours could continue across the region periodically
on Sunday.
The storm was caused by an almost stationary cold front positioned over
northern Cuba and the northeast wind that carried clouds and rain over the
island from the Atlantic.
The cold front remained stuck over Havana for about 36 hours, although it
drifted slightly over the country's western and central zone, authorities

Family & Local History Research Service ~ Derbyshire based Genealogy
Hi, my name is Louise and I am a family and local history researcher based in Derbyshire, England. I have been unveiling the stories from our past for many years now and I thoroughly enjoy every minute of my research. During this time I have revealed hero's, criminals and most often our everyday ancestors each with their own tale to tell.
So how can I help you to hear the the echoes of your past?
There are far too many resources to mention, but here are some of the main tools of my trade :~
Birth, Marriage & Death Certificates are the starting point for your research. General Registration was introduced in the United Kingdom on 1st July 1837, but unfortunately for us not all of our ancestors were unduly concerned with government rules and regulations, so some events were not registered. If you do have copies of the certificates in your heirloom box, then wonderful. If not, do not despair as I can obtain copies of any registered certificates from the GRO on your behalf.
Census Returns were first taken in England in 1801, however it is the information in the 1841 to 1911 census that holds the most interest for our genealogical research. The earlier returns can be useful for local history research on a specific town or village.
Church Records where they still survive these records document our ancestors milestones in their lives; baptism, marriage and burial. The records are particularly valuable for tracing our ancestors in the pre-registration years prior to 1837 and before they started to appear in the census returns. Remembering not all ancestors were members of the Church of England, I can also search Non-Conformist religions, such as Roman Catholic, Methodist & Quaker registers.
Military Records is a wide reaching title and their are many varying records available which may hold details of your ancestors and their military career. I can obtain copies of World War 2 service records at your request. Many World War 1 service records were destroyed during the Blitz on London in World War 2, but some do still exist and are extremely informative. Other military related sources are medal rolls, regimental histories and war diaries, trench maps and sadly numerous burial and memorials to those who gave their lives for King/Queen and Country.
Education & Employment Records firstly, school records can tell us of our ancestors triumphs and tribulations. The records available include class registers, punishment books and old class photographs. Work related records are also a great source for allowing us an insight into the lives that they led. Sources available include apprenticeship records, company records, staff magazines and trade directories.
Wills & Administration luckily for most of us, wills and probate records are not solely the resources of our wealthy ancestors, many working class ancestors made a will. If they did not leave a will they many still appear in the probate registers, detailing the value of the estate and to whom administration was granted. Again, I can obtain copies of these records on your behalf.
Parish Chest Records survival and content of these does vary from parish to parish. They are a rich source for family historians, as they include all classes of the parish from the wealthy who oversaw the running of the parish to the poor who were on the receiving end of parish business. The records include overseers meetings, workhouse registers, settlement examinations and removal orders.
Crime & Punishment would you like to find that elusive "skeleton in the cupboard"? Starting with contemporary newspaper reports a criminal ancestor can be traced through the courts and often all the way to the local Gaol, sometimes leading to transportation.
The list of resources is long and varied and the above documents are just an insight into the records that I am able to study to help you to unearth the Echoes of Our Past.
~~~~~ z ~~~~~
Do feel free to contact me with any queries you have, I will be more than happy to discuss the resources available and offer a free, no commitment research plan tailored to your specific requirements.

PATTON, Pa. —
A Tuesday morning explosion that leveled a house about three miles south of Patton, Pa., killing one person and injuring two, is thought to be a case of a Hastings area man bent on revenge.
Cambria County Coroner Dennis Kwiatkowski confirmed the deceased as Bradley Gene Kollar, 40, of the 100 block of Harvey Street, Hastings.
Sources said Kollar loaded his sport utility vehicle with explosives and drove to the home of William Shaner at 882 Kepshire Road in Clearfield Township.
Kwiatkowski ruled Kollar's death a suicide, but did not say how he came to that conclusion.
It is believed Kollar drove his explosive-loaded vehicle into the Shaner home shortly before 9 a.m., causing the massive explosion that left the site looking like a war zone.
At 9 a.m., Kollar was scheduled to be sentenced in Cambria County court on charges that he ran a chop shop and meth lab from his family's property.
Kollar was a no-show for the sentencing and an arrest warrant was issued. The sentencing was rescheduled for next week.
Kollar's attorney, Art McQuillan, wasn't saying much late Tuesday.
"I can confirm he did not appear for sentencing this morning. Other than that I don't know anything," the Johnstown attorney said.
Sources told The Tribune-Democrat that Kollar was convinced Shaner had "snitched" on him and his father, John Kollar, 64.
The status of the elder Kollar's case could not immediately be determined late Tuesday.
The explosion rocked the area, which is located along Route 36 between Patton and Chest Springs.
One woman said she felt it at her home four miles away in the Ashville area.
Others in the Patton area to the north of the site reported feeling some vibration and hearing a loud "bang."
Luke Lansberry, principal of Central Cambria Elementary School, lives across from the intersection where Route 36 meets Kepshire Road. The principal was at the elementary school until just before 5 p.m. and his wife and children – who were also at school – had not been home when the explosion occurred. Lansberry said he did not know the Shaners well.
The blast initially was reported as a meth lab explosion. State police said the cause of the blast is yet to be determined. However, John Matchik, state police public information officer, said authorities are consulting with experts from the hazardous device and explosives division.
"We activated our major case team, which is a large contingent of criminal investigators," he said.
"What they're doing now is going through and making contact with family members and things along those lines."
A ballistics team was at the scene much of Tuesday, according to Matchik, and Patton Volunteer Fire Company used bucket trucks to give investigators an aerial view of the scene. Before that, a helicopter circled above the blasted plot.
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents arrived shortly before 5 p.m. and began sifting through the mounds of rubble. The FBI also is involved, according to Matchik.
Cambria County District Attorney Kelly Callihan, who went to the scene immediately following the explosion, referred questions to state police.
Two victims transported to the Altoona Regional Health System – one male adult and one male teenager – were not identified and the extent of their injuries was not immediately known.
"Right now, we're still trying to verify the locations of each of our victims whenever the blast actually occurred," Matchik said.
Neighbors of the Shaners said the family had three children and two are believed to have just been picked up by their bus headed to class in the Cambria Heights School District. Classes were delayed by two hours due to winter road conditions.
The site of the explosion is directly across from the Clearfield Township Municipal Building, which apparently was not impacted.
State police cruisers sat at the entrance to Kepshire Road keeping the curious and the reporters away from the scene, which was about 150 yards from Route 36. Unmarked police vehicles maintained a perimeter near the Route 36 and Kepshire intersection to keep people from crossing through adjacent fields.
A computer rending of the area prior to the explosion shows a house and two buildings, including a garage and a swimming pool. An aerial view after the blast shows a garage and a badly burned vehicle just off Kepshire Road and in the area where the house had been.
"We are treating this as a criminal investigation at this point," Matchik said. "We want to make sure we conduct this investigation very methodically."
Hours after the blast, debris such as building materials and paper was spotted hundreds of yards from the scene.
Tufts of fiberglass insulation, carried by Tuesday's strong winds, dotted the neighboring fields and homeowners' yards in all directions.
Matchik said Kepshire Road could continue to be closed today, although that was speculative, given the current state of the investigation.
Bradley Kollar and his father were taken into custody March 6, 2012, after a massive raid on a family-owned 47-acre property – the former Rich Mines site – located in Susquehanna and Elder townships.
Stolen equipment, including a front-end loader, was recovered.
Also found were what police described as materials possibly used in a meth lab and some explosive materials.
Court records list John Kollar's address as Murphy Springs Road in Susquehanna Township.
Both men posted bail and were out of prison at the time.
Bradley Kollar's mental status apparently had been a concern for authorities for some time.

- Resides in:
- New York City
The man of many monikers — Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Puffy, etc — has made a name for himself in multiple industries. He got started on his journey to mogul as a 12 year old who lied about his age to get a paper route and then created several false identities in order to operate several others simultaneously. He studied business administration for two years at Howard before taking an internship at Uptown Records. Four years later and two weeks after being fired from the label, he formed Bad Boy Records and produced the debut of the legendary Brooklyn rapper The Notorious B.I.G. He helped launch the careers of Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, Lil' Kim, Faith Evans and himself. Diddy's tribute to his slain friend Biggie, "I'll Be Missing You," helped make his debut album, No Way Out, multi-platinum. The runaway success lead to lavish and legendary parties with strict dress codes, dating Jennifer Lopez, forays into acting (Monster's Ball, Get Him To The Greek, A Raisin In The Sun on Broadway), founding the Vote or Die campaign and producing reality TV series like Making the Band and Run's House. In 1998, he took on the fashion world. Sean Jean started with clothes for men and boys but expanded to include women's and fragrances by 2004. He's even in the beverage industry as brand ambassador for Ciroc vodka. It's amazing he found time to father five kids with three women — sons Justin and Christian, daughter Chance and twins D'Lila and Jessie.

Old 'guaranteed' credit
card scam
resurfaces with elderly as targets
By Libby
Wells Bankrate.com
billion dollars in credit ... and nobody applying for it!" screams
an advertisement guaranteeing approval for a charge card with a
super-low fixed interest rate.
Unfortunately, there are people applying, and
some of them are paying big bucks to do so -- only to find that
the forms are phony and the promises empty.
It's an old scam that has resurfaced, and the
victims are elderly people and folks with poor credit.
"This has happened a lot over the last five
years," says Judy Brown, senior vice president of Pulaski Bank and
Trust in Little Rock, Ark. "It seems like it kinda goes in cycles."
Brown has been getting calls lately from people
in Delaware, Tennessee, Texas and other states who paid for a packet
of credit card applications from various banks after receiving sales
calls from Y2K Credit Solutions Inc.
applications looked real
The applications turned out to be copies, but some of them
looked so real that Brown says the bank processed them. "They were
declined, and some of the people called to ask why because they
had been told they were guaranteed a credit card," she says.
If you have been a victim of a telemarketing
scheme, or suspect one, call the National Fraud Information
Center at 1-800-876-7060. The NFIC
Web site is a good source of information and advice
on fraud against the elderly, common scams, how to handle
tough telemarketers, file complaints, take your name off
calling lists and more.
"But we only approve 20 to 25 percent of applications
that come in here because our underwriting standards are so strict,"
she says. "We're very conservative."
The Mountain States Better
Business Bureau in Colorado started receiving complaints about
Y2K Credit Solutions in February and alerted its members, as well
as the attorney general in Wyoming, where the company has a P.O.
The BBB said Y2K is selling the credit applications
for $15, plus $4.95 for shipping and handling, payable by money
order or cashier's check.
But apparently some people are getting swindled
for a lot more.
"One woman said she had paid $380 to get a packet
of low-rate credit card offers," says Brown. "She gave them her
checking account number so they could debit her account."
victims were elderly
Brown said most of the victims were elderly. "I hate it that
these consumers are getting ripped off," she says. "And it makes
the bank look bad."
Y2K Credit's print advertisement lists a phone
number with an area code in Alberta, Canada, that is "either invalid
or has been changed," a phone company recording says. The 800 number
on the company's letterhead is answered by a recorded message that
requests the caller's name, address and phone number.
Holly Anderson, spokeswoman for the National
Consumers League, says many fraudulent telemarketers set up
base in Canada.
"We find a lot of the advance-fee loan scams
come out of there," she says. "That's because it's harder to prosecute
across the border."
fees should send up a red flag
Bogus credit card offers that require upfront fees is one of
the most common telemarketing cons.
Many people are duped because the callers are
cunning. "They're effective and they're pushy," says Anderson. "They
know how to make people feel good."
She advises folks who are considering card offers
from telemarketers to first check with their local Better
Business Bureau and the National Consumer League's National
Fraud Information Center for reports on the company.
Regardless, requests for money in advance should
raise a red flag for consumers.
"It's a scam if anybody is asking for money
upfront," Anderson says. "The one exception to that is a secured
card. If they are a legitimate company, they will charge it to the
credit card."

"This is one of the most basic and important screening tests for heart disease," Jenny Hargrove, M.D. said in a press release. "People who will benefit from exercise treadmill testing are those with chest pain of unknown etiology or someone who has risk factors for heart disease such as family history, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or smoking."
An exercise stress test helps doctors find out how well the heart handles work. Similar to an ECG (electrocardiogram), leads are hooked up to the chest for monitoring while a person walks on a treadmill. The pace increases gradually while the doctor monitors the electrical tracing of the heart. Monitoring occurs during and for a brief rest period after the test to evaluate for changes that are associated with heart disease.
Hargrove explained that the stress test can also be used to evaluate shortness of breath and lightheadedness that may be related to heart disease and is used to stratify the risk of heart disease.
"In addition, most executive level physicals include an exercise stress test," she said. "We can now do this test locally."
The ability to do the test at TMC reduces the carbon footprint of individuals who drive out of town for this test, Hargrove said, who has referred patients to Montrose for the test after seeing them in the emergency room. Any physician can order the stress test at TMC for patients.
The GE CASE exercise stress testing equipment was generously donated to the Telluride Medical Center by the Telluride Medical Capital Fund, which is part of the Telluride Foundation.
Call the Telluride Medical Center at 970/728-3848 for information or to make an appointment.

|Program Description, Eligibility and Peer Review Criteria
Success Rate
The purpose of this undergraduate research training program is to encourage promising students from all disciplines, including women and members of minority groups underrepresented in the sciences, to consider research careers while supporting the highest quality scientific investigation broadly related to cardiovascular disease and stroke. *Note: this is an institutional award. Individual students do not apply to the AHA for this award.
Science Focus
Funding is available for research broadly related to cardiovascular function and disease, stroke, or to related clinical, basic science, and public health problems, including multidisciplinary efforts.
The laboratory sponsor and institution are responsible for disclosing the nature of research and activities taking place in the laboratory where the student will be conducting research, and the safety or health-hazards/risks which are known or reasonably likely to be encountered. Students are responsible for learning and following appropriate safety procedures in the laboratory.
Students will not receive college credit for their summer research activities. Therefore, participation in the program will not appear on an official transcript from the institution where the student is assigned.

Those models need to gain some weight. They are VERY unattractive.

Not cool to say people are unattractive due to their size, either overweight or what you perceive to be underweight.

In any other case I would back Native1's comment but I back The Reptilian One because the bigger picture here is that we are being sold the idea that the look these models are selling (in other words, typical fashion-industry salesmanship) is what we should find attractive.
I have seen women that are young, old, skinny and obese, that I've found attractive. What is NOT attractive is that cold, mannequin-like look where any natural features a woman has is obliterated in an overdose of makeup and artificial hair coloring. To me, it has the same effect as bodybuilders with huge steroid-fueled muscles has on the women I've spoken to, and like that it's freaky, unhealthy, and not natural.
That fashionista look is not attractive, and not inviting, in fact it's just silly-looking.

New MBA scholarship funding for veterans at USC
David McNew/Getty Images
Students walk across the campus of the University of Southern California.
There's a lot of ways to get an MBA, but most people agree that there are several clearly defined paths. One is to work for a few years after college and then enter a program. Another is to work at a firm that expects you to get an MBA after two years and will either assist with the tuition or cover all of it, then welcome you back when you've got the degree.
At the top programs, these two traditional paths apply mainly to graduates of Ivy League schools, along with the next educational tier or two down (major state schools and smaller privates). Typically, the professionals returning to school for an MBA have spent their time on Wall Street, at one of the three big consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG), or at a major multinational firm. But there's a another path.
Business schools like to have former members of the military in, so to speak, their educational ranks. This affection applies to active-duty military, as well as former soldiers, sailors, and airmen who've left the service. These folks often require financial support (pretty much everyone requires financial support to obtain an MBA, unless they saved enough while working to cover the cost).

Starting at $19.95 plus tax.
They were fast and took care of me right away. Very satisfied with the service.
Great P.R. and communication skills at this unit. The guys here are absolutely great!
This is one of the best places I have taken my cars to. Meineke really knows what they are doing and it shows in the attention to detail.
They go the extra mile. I went in and my truck wasn't ready so the owner took me to the coffee place next door and bought me coffee. No kidding! Ten minutes later it was done. That doesn't happen very often. I would recommend them to friends.
great service – Good communication, as always: let me know what they have found and offer options, opinions and prognoses. Not the cheapest place, but worth the extra in my experience.
good job – The guys here are the GREAT! I strongly recommend using them if you want a place you can trust.
Detail Oriented – Very helpful and detail oriented. You have always been great! We will definitely be coming back. Thanks again.
The guys here are the GREAT! After trying lots of local mechanics, I'm so glad to have found one that I want to keep going back to. I never feel rushed, confused, or pressured. Thanks for everything.
Editorial Review – More than just mufflers, services include brakes, steering, A/C and basic maintenance like oil change, tune-ups and tire rotation.

A Gempler's Exclusive . . . Unique combination of the Neos ® Villager ™ upper and the Neos ® Voyager ™ Perma Sole outsole
Introduced in 1994, Neos ® reinvented the overshoe. Unlike traditional rubber overshoes, Neos ® Villager ™ overshoes are lightweight, comfortable, easy to get on and best of all they are 100% waterproof. The 160 denier nylon upper features a wide opening which accommodates flat soled shoes or thick lugged work boots. To keep your pants dry, tuck them in and fold the opening over using the adjustable hook-and-loop closure. The heavy-duty plastic buckle closure allows for a comfortable, snug fit. Ball-lock and elastic top keeps the water and debris from entering. Perma Sole outsole provides much needed traction and remains flexible in any condition. Compact so they can go anywhere. Reinforced toe cap. Convenient back pull strap. Black color only. Imported. Specify Men's shoe size: M (7-1/2-9), L (9-1/2-11), XL (11-1/2-13) or 2XL (13-1/2-15) from the selection box above. See drop down for sizes currently available.
NOTE: We recommend going up a size when wearing these overshoes over work boots.

About Me Comfort-oriented
I have been looking for over boots as good as the rubber boots we had 40 years ago and finally found NEOS. They are great! So good, I bought them for myself and for two friends. MUCH warmer than stupid lined boots in winter. Light weight yet stable on ice. Waterproof--they are just what I wanted.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me DISHWASHER OG
Although this will keep your feet dry, DO NOT WEAR ON WET CEMENT FLOORS!!! My son almost broke his neck at work from slipping and sliding. (dishwasher) Would be good for landscapers but that is about it. wish I had not purchased them now.
very handy
By Dona
from Parma Ohio
Im a Fedex driver and need something for when the weather changes and Im only wearing shoes. My co-workers love them because they really keep your feet dry and are easy to stash. My problem is that the medium was too small and the large is too big so they feel kind of floppy. My sis- in- law is a meter reader so I gave her my mediums and all of her co-workers want them now!
