The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rumored that in furthermost car rollover incidents, 62% develop in passing involving sports utility-grade vehicles. According to the agency, rollover accidents come to pass when the vehicles tripped or when a vehicle leaves the route and slides sideways, excavation its tires into rich grime or dramatic an intention such as a kerb or safety rail.

Rules of Recovery in Roll complete Litigation
Different rules use for rescue in rollover litigation. Unlike in utmost of one's own unhealthiness cases wherever nonperformance is the underlying principle, rollover legal proceeding is based mainly on service susceptibility law, which focuses more on the logical and medical aspects of the casing.
These rules were created as a entity of communal dogma as united upon by the manufacturers and the car users.

Most rollover judicial proceeding against manufacturers of SUVs and opposite vehicles focussing on two logo fault theories:
1. Vehicle Instability - Most rollover mishap victims bleat the seismic accident of their conveyance when production unexpected turns in the road. This resulted in rollover accidents, which motorists say is a trade imperfectness. Testing unconcealed that the loftiness of the car put together it slid crabwise during a unexpected circle.
2. Crashworthiness - Some courts have command the SUVs' shakiness is due to an outer passage instrument. This fact makes car manufacturers apt under the crashworthiness school of thought. The school of thought is a supposition of recouping in which the manufacturers of a merchandise can be command liable for the defective designing.
However, susceptibleness in efferent conveyance defect cases is controlled by the belief of controlling susceptibility. If strict liability applies, the object does not necessitate to be that the business was negligent, but sole that the goods is defective. Eliminating the cognitive content of the manufacturer's hard-and-fast susceptibleness allows victims to trail their assertion under the conception of "no fault" liability.
Pursuing A Claim
Most rollover litigation absorption on these two shape theories and victims may use the article of trade susceptibility law to look for their asseveration. The status for proficient legalized depiction is requisite in pursuing a allege in car rollover accidents.

BISHOP EARL JACKSON -- "An American, not an Arican American"
This is a video I wish all Americans, especially blacks and Progressives who use them, could see. I know Bishop Jackson. The first time I met him and heard him speak he opened the speech with, "I'm Bishop Earl Jackson, I am an American, not an African-American, an American. Bishop is a true patriot. I've had him speak to CARMA group here in my town and have met him several times. I am more impressed each time I see him. He is so courageous and could be the best role model any black person, and others, they could have. It always baffles me to think that blacks vote reflexively for Democrats when the Dems simply use them and count on their vote. Barack Obama is no exception! Please listen to Bishop's message to blacks.

Sony Bluetooth KBD Connection help
I bought an i& desktop with BT keyboard & mouse. I've recently begun to lose connectivity with the keyboard.
I also upgraded to a Samsung SSD and I mention that as it is the reason I removed a lot of bloatware. Long story short, I call Sony and they cant help naturally except to send a new keyboard. The instrucitons tell me to use a file on C named wconnect.exe to enable pairing of the new keyboard.
And it's one of the files I cleaned out and Sony cant help except to tell me to do a factory restore to get it. I dont have the three days it would take.
Can anyone make any suggestions that would help ? Thanks.

That right there would be reason enough for me to never buy another product from them again.
Using a ridiculous proprietary connection system without allowing the software to be downloaded separately.
On that note does it work at all?
Have you tried changing your power options to always on? (may help keep connection alive)
|My System Specs
|29 Apr 2012
Yes, it works 99% of the time. Being new to SSD's, I'm using "balanced 10/45" On occasion I might lose connectivity and or get a delayed character. Not huge, but they felt runnning the program again might assist in a fix as well as replacing the keyboard.
In looking at some posts on their website for the keyboard it seems to be common to the keyboard itself.
Never the less, I was hoping to find a kind soul who could spare me the dyas of reinstalling software.

You know I had some problems with the reliability on my old kb. I moved my router and changed the channel on it, I also made sure my smartphone's bluetooth was off when in the house. Also keep the phone AWAY from the kb, preferably 3 feet or so.
That seemed to stop the vast majority of the problem.
People forget how much of their stuff is sending out wireless signals these days. The kb signal is a low power weak signal.. so it can easily be interrupted by other local sources.

Happy to report I was able to get a hold of someone at Sony with some clout (not the people you get through the 800 #) (These people are in NJ) who in turn emailed the product specalist who sent me the zip file.
Worked like a charm. Interestingly enough it is written by Logitech so I'm going to presume they make the keyboard & mouse.

Dear Genea-Santa,
Everyone else wrote to you last week, but I've got a letter of a different sort. No requests, just a suggestion. Maybe you could get some institutions to work on it with you for next year.
Wouldn't it be fabulous if records repositories offered gift certificates?! I'm sure I'm not the only family historian to have the experience I've had this season. You're asked, "What do you want for Christmas?" And you simply can't think of anything you need. "But isn't there anything you'd like?" Well, there's great-great-grandma Mary King's death certificate, available at the NYC Department of Health . . . or Aunt Agnes's death certificate, which has to be ordered from Albany . . . or any of a dozen other records you know the location of, but haven't gotten your hands on yet. It's not quite the same as asking for a pair of boots from Nordstrom, or a jacket that has to be ordered from L.L.Bean. And you kind of get funny looks when you ask for them. (I know, because I tried it this year!)
But if there were a way to make hundred-year-old birth certificates available as gifts that lay people (you know, non-genealogists) could understand, maybe they'd take advantage of it, to our advantage! Genea-Santa, you're a genealogist. You understand the kind of excitement that would greet, say, a gift certificate good for 2 birth certificates and a death certificate from your local archives. What genealogist wouldn't love to pull out of his stocking a gift certificate for $50 towards marriage records from an ancestral village?
So work on that, Genea-Santa, because I know what I'd love to find under the tree next year!
Merry Christmas!

Linking the control arm to a steering linkage, your Pontiac Lemans ball joint works as a pivot in-between the wheels and suspension. Subjected to road salt and other damage-causing elements, ball joints may crack and spoil steering and suspension, as you lose great control over your automobile, particularly when driving over humps. You will experience hard steering and terrible suspension as soon as one of the ball joints fails.
Clunking noises can be attributed to a failing ball joint. Once your wheels obviously move loosely and you spot strange wear patterns on your tires just like scalloping, you ought to check this suspension component and change this part straight away if needed. Driving with a worn-out ball joint on your vehicle's suspension is not really a great option-when you corner or drive over humps on the road, the wheels may wobble and make it difficult to maneuver your car. Buy a fresh ball joint that's custom-made for the make and model of your car and durably constructed to last for a long while.
Parts Train offers the most dependable choices for a brand-new Pontiac Lemans ball joint sourced from leading brands like American Presto, Daystar, and CTA. Aside from offering you remarkably low costs, we also see to it that you can take advantage of stress-free shopping at our store, thanks to our convenient payment methods, quick delivery, and 24-hour customer service.

Popular Sydney Beach Named The Most Dangerous In The STATE
The most dangerous beach in NSW has been named and it's one of Sydney's favourites.
According to data from Surf Life Saving NSW, Coogee beach had the highest number of ambulance requests during the summer of 2015/ 2016.
Of the 47 requests, 19 were for assumed spinal injuries - more than any other beach in the state.
Andrew Short, a coastal studies researcher from the University of Sydney, told the Sydney Morning Herald that "dumping waves" combined with a steep, narrow sand face puts people bodysurfing at greater risk of injury.
"Bodysurfers, usually young males, catch the waves and are dumped head-first into the sand," he said.
"Coogee has a low level of risk to people in the surf, but regrettably there is a significant number of people being injured by dumping waves."

After 10 years in Southern Mozambique I am now based in the North of the country at Nuarro Eco Lodge just north of Nacala. It's fairly remote and a stunning place S14.12.181 E40.40.638. The continental shelf comes very close to shore here, our little bay is 360 meters deep in the middle and we have near vertical wall to +-200m in places. I have 2 APD units here (Inspo and Evo), cylinders, boost pump sorb etc. Helium is a bit of an issue as it has to come from South Africa (as does sorb but thats easier to send), it is possible though (I have 1 tube here now for personal use and am sorting out logistics to get more) August/September is humpback whale season and I am looking forward to being in the water with them in good viz, in the south our winter viz is often crappy, here its 15m on a bad day and 30+ often (the other day I could see the RIB from 60m!) The walls and reefs are stunning, shore diving is easy, walk in from the dive centre to the house reef and follow it out to the drop off if you like! We night dive regularly and have blue lights/filters for ''flo diving''. There are a couple of wrecks out on Baixo Pinda, which is about 40 mins by boat, less of a drop off but current swept and better for pelagics.
Drop me a line if you are interested in diving in Mozambique!

STUART APPLEBY MAY NOT make it into the World Golf Hall of Fame as a player. With nine PGA Tour wins and no majors, Appleby currently falls short of the numbers that have put other players in the Hall.
But after shooting a PGA Tour record-tying 59 on August 1 at the Greenbrier Classic, a final round that also earned the Aussie a victory in the inaugural event, Stuart's attire is on display at the museum in St. Augustine, Florida. Items include a purple Cutter & Buck shirt, black pants and a white Callaway visor.
Journeyman Paul Goydos, who shot his 59 at the John Deere Classic 23 days before Appleby, did Stuart one better. In addition to contributing his hat, shirt and pants to the Hall, Paul donated his Titleist golf ball. (Maybe Appleby is keeping his 59 ball for his own trophy case. I wouldn't blame him at all.)
Bobby Wyatt, an 18-year-old University of Alabama signee, has also donated gear after his 57 at the Alabama Boys State Junior Championship in late July. On display are Wyatt's pink Ralph Lauren shirt, his Titleist hat, FootJoy glove and Titleist Pro V1 golf ball.
Even if you can't play your way into the Hall, Appleby, Goydos and Wyatt have demonstrated how you can play your equipment and clothing into the shrine. But you'll have to go low. Real low.

Peli (which means "Lucky" in the Basque language) was found wandering the streets of a local city. He was covered with fox-tail burrs which had scratched his corneas. The American Maltese Association asked me to pick him up at the animal shelter and deliver him to a veterinary eye specialist. It was found that, although his corneas had been scratched, his eyes had never developed and this guy had been blind since birth. I can just imagine how terrifying it must have been for a five pound dog to wander as a stray "WHILE BLIND".
Anyway, he has been nursed back to health and although he will never see, he doesn't know that he is blind. He is a happy little guy who has adapted quite well to our house and yard. It is amazing how the little guy can navigate without the benefit of sight.
He is a darling boy and we have become bosom buddies. He gets excited when he hears my voice and I am beginning to clicker train him. He can locate the sound of the clicker and comes from even a distance.
He loves to be held and will make someone a very nice pet. We have already had some interest in him from possible adoptive homes...

Last spring my sweetie had me go to Fabricland and buy a bunch of their camouflage fabric to make him some overalls for hunting. We're in new territory, and none of his camo matches the foliage around here and none of it is heavy enough for some of the winter hunting he'll be doing up here.
SO, I made him a camo hoodie a while back and ventured to put together a pair of overalls for him to take up north with him for the moose hunt this week.
The fabric of choice for this project is Mossy Oak Forest Floor camo, and I believe it's treated with some kind of waterproofing. It is a heavy material, soft and a bit nappy/fuzzy on the outside, but not very soft or smooth on the inside. As they were to be overalls, the weight was what mattered, and not a comfy material for wearing against ones skin. I was unable to iron the fabric at all without using a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric. Otherwise it would stick to my iron (that was a bit messy to clean off!), so that slowed me down a bit.
But, it was a doable project, and my sweetie is thoroughly pleased with the finished product. He probably couldn't buy a better made pair of overalls! I didn't count hours, but I spent a few days working on it. So he probably can't afford to pay me for my time and skill either! LOL!
Here's a slideshow of the finished project:
I'm not sewing anymore clothes for a while if I can keep from it. I have some quilting projects that seriously need to be completed! :)

English class
This year in English class we have read a few books and my favorite book was Romeo and Juliet because when we were reading that book we acted it out and i thought that was funner then just sitting at are desk and reading. I also liked how we did a project on the book called speech. The book that I learned the most from would have to be Romeo and Juliet.

Fedora Core 3 Linux: Working with Indian Languages
Fedora core 3 has built in support for 9 Indian languages, namely – Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Oriya and Malayalam. It means you can work straight out-of-the-box in these Indian languages on Fedora Core 3 Machines. But not really. You need to setup your machine properly to work with a particular language. Further, Fedora Core 3 also gives you six Indian Language Interface, namely- Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Marathi & Tamil. You also need to setup your machine to work in these beautiful Indian language environments. Here is how to setup Fedora Core 3 on your computer for Indian languages.
Installation and Setup:
During initial setup of Fedora Core 3, you can choose as many Indian languages you want to work with. If you have not installed additional Indian languages in your existing Fedora Core 3 installation, you can still install additional language specific packages and modules. Simply upgrade your existing Fedora Core 3 installation and choose Upgrade instead of fresh install. Then, when you reach to Setup's selection window "Language Support" which explains you like this – "Choose additional languages that you would like to use on this system" you will find entries of supported Indian languages (See figure 01). Select as many languages you want and proceed. Finish setup and when done, you will be ready to setup your machine further. Please note that this step is necessary since language specific files need to be installed in your machine, without which you cannot use that language, and you have to CHOOSE a particular language to get installed during setup as additional language. However, you can always install language specific locale files and packages manually.
Available Language Environment:
Though Fedora Core 3 supports nine as many Indian language and can show you six as many Indian language interfaces, it does not mean that all the applications and everything else is available in these language environment. In fact most of the language interfaces which is available in Fedora Core 3 is community work and had been adopted from various localization groups such as Indlinux, Ankur- Bangla, Utkarsh, Punlinux etc., and hence what you will see on most interfaces depends on available translated stuffs for that language. Of course, Redhat had included its own translations on many system configuration menus and dialog boxes. Therefore, you will get Gnome in Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali and Tamil. Whereas, as of now, KDE is only available in Hindi and Tamil. Still, all Gnome or KDE applications are not available in supported language. It depends on which percentage a particular language and desktop environment is translated. For example, you will find that most of Gnome had been translated in Bengali, Tamil & Gujarati, but there is little stuff available in Marathi. Similarly, in KDE, you will find most of the stuff available in Tamil, but only GUI branches in Hindi. Again, presently, barring some exceptions, only Gnome and KDE applications are available in Indian languages. There are thousands of other applications which are yet to be translated. So, in any language environment, be prepared to get a mixture of environment, i.e. English and the selected language interface, because in any language environment, if a Linux application doesn't have translated string, then it gets displayed in English.
Set your Default Language:
Unless you have set default language as one of Indian language other than English during Fedora Core 3's initial setup, and you start your machine through rough commands such as startx, by default, Fedora Core 3 boots in to graphical mode in English. To change default language of the system, click on Start Menu Button-->System Settings-->Language. If you are not root user, it will ask for root password. Give the valid one and it will open a selection window for you.
Now select one from these: Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu. It will then show information "Changes will take effect the next time you log in". Here, click OK to accept changes. Logout and login again to see your new default language working. Note that this setting is available only when you boot in to graphical mode automatically or through startx command. If you use Graphical login screen such as GDM to start your GUI, your default system language may be changed during such start-up according to settings you define there, which also offers you to select available language environment during graphical login process.
Adding Language specific Keyboards:
Suppose, you have installed an additional language- Hindi, besides the machine default language USA English. Now, you want to work in Hindi. Where is the Hindi keyboard? When you set your machine's default language as Hindi, Hindi leyboard is available, but then how to run commands which can only be run through English? You need to install these language keyboards and keyboard switcher in your user environment. Adding keyboards and keyboard switcher needs different steps each in Gnome and in KDE, and need to setup for every user separately.
Adding keyboard in Gnome:-
In Fedora core 3, you will find top and bottom panel both. You can add keyboard switcher on either or on both. For this, click on any panel, select "Add to Panel", then select "Keyboard Indicator" on the selection window that appears and click on "Add" Button. You will find that a button named "
Now, to switch between different keyboards, say, Hindi and USA-English, simply click on this icon on panel, and it will act as a toggle switch. Often it is cumbersome to click every time during typing to change language keyboard, you can assign special keyboard sequence to change between language groups. You can also assign Language groups to switch between if you have more than a couple of Keyboards installed. To assign language groups to special key-press, Right click on Panel's Keyboard Switcher icon, select "Keyboard Preferences" and then click on "Layout Option" tab. Expand the "Group Shift Lock Behavior" under "Available Options" and select the key-combinations you want to use. For example, Left Alt+Shift to change between groups, and then click "Add" button. Here, you can remove previously assigned key-combinations and can add multiple assignments for same function if it is available there.
Note: Under Keyboard Preferences, you can move the available keyboard position by selecting it and clicking Up/Down button if there is more than one entry. For example, you can move recently added entry Hindi to topmost position. This makes sure that what ever application you start thereafter, it will, by default, start with Hindi Keyboard. However, it is recommended that unless you don't feel strong otherwise, keep the USA-English on top most position since many applications still does not understand commands in Unicode Indic fonts, and some may not support Unicode as well.
Adding keyboard in KDE:-
To set keyboard layouts in KDE, click on Start Menu Button, then click on "Control Center". On "Index" tab in
Your machine is now ready to work non stop in multiple Indian Languages :) हैप्पी कम्प्यूटिंग Happy Computing! (in Hindi/Bengali/Gujarati... font)

When putting out new seedlings in the garden, buy a box of wooden kitchen matches and insert one right up against the stem of the tiny seedling. This prevents the creepy-crawlies from cutting off the stem. It works especially well against cut worms which tend to cut off the stems at ground level.

Human Kindness Has No Frontiers!
By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
Many important tasks in the world cannot be carried on without the appropriate credentials of those expected to fulfill them. Just as it happens with international travel, proper documentation is required of those who cross different frontiers!
Fortunately, doing good anywhere in the world can be achieved without a license. It just demands an honest disposition, accompanying one's ability to fulfill the necessary functions. I refer to simple gestures, to positive attitudes, to easily achievable ends that make an indelible difference in the lives of others who are, thereby, significantly touched.
I am referring to what doesn't expect, nor demand, unique credentials other than a sincere heart, overflowing with good will toward other members of the human race and also to institutions that have been established to alleviate human need, and give hope to countless individuals!
Anywhere in the world, many people long for a word of cheer from another, a sincere smile sent in their direction, a possible gesture of affirmation and gratitude for what several individuals often show no interest in providing.
Yet, it is small demonstrations of interest expressed toward others that often "make their day," or inspire them in also acting likewise. A long chain of good will can be thus created and, if properly managed and sustained, it never ceases from potently affecting the self-esteem of both giver and receiver!
Any good gesture toward another is fulfilled not for what one may gain in return. Some recipients of such generous good cheer may even be initially indifferent to it. However, the one spreading good cheer continues the activity, not on account of expecting anything in return, but because it is good for the environment, and it is the proper deed anywhere, anytime, toward anyone!
We must live daily with the recognition that it is a privilege to act nicely toward others, it is salutary to self and to fellow humans to spread good will wherever one is, and whereto one goes. If any good is to occur in the world, we are to be the source; the initiative must start in our own heart, as we create the climate and a way that can generate a positive environment for the well-being of an entire community! After all, acts of good will are not confined to any borders; human kindness knows no frontiers!

Two main natural processes which control the migration of radioactive contaminants to the biosphere were studied in the Yamin Plain in order to evaluate the thickness of a cover layer needed for near-surface radioactive waste disposal facility. The first is the natural erosion of the cover layer, and the second is the infiltration during rain and runoff events. The erosion rate of the soil surface was studied by optical stimulation luminescence technique. It was found that during the last 14,000 years, the erosion rate was 0.3 mm/y which are 3 m for 10,000 years. The infiltration depth assessment was based on water content measurements and numerical modeling. It shows that under the most extreme rain event having an equivalent rain of 84 mm, infiltration depth was limited to 4.5 m. Taking into account the two processes, the effective cover layer thickness over 10,000 years should be at least 7.5 m thick.

So Aamir Khan's show has dealt a blow where it hurts the most. Are the makers of Kaun Banega Crorepati running scared? Maybe they'd be obliged to invite a few more tortured ravaged women to the hot seat to discuss their predicament with the empathetic host?
Like the 'see' of humanity last Sunday I also set aside my work (compared with Aamir's crusader's role, quite negligible, I have to admit) to watch our most influential contemporary entertainer don the mantle of the social reformer.
Or was it a mask? I ask, because after watching one miserably manhandled woman after another troop unobtrusively into the posh studio(air-conditioned, and insulated from extraneous noises) to speak in horrifically dispassionate tones of the tortures they've suffered, and survived to tell their tales, I wondered, was Aamir really getting the point? Could he feel the full or even partial impact of what these women had gone through for not delivering a male heir?
Much as we all love Aamir's jihadi spirit, I don't think he even began to grasp the enormity of women's pain and suffering. Aamir's expressions were a dead giveaway. Towards the beginning of the nightmarish recollections of lives lived on the edge, a lady with an expression that gave nothing away, said she went through 9 (or was it 10?) enforced abortions because Pati-dev wanted a beta.
So what does Aamir do when he hears the woman say she been thus so brutally commoditized for patriarchal purposes? He rattles of biological data on how the male partner determines the sex of the child.
Yeah, knowing that really helps women who get mauled and killed for delivering baby girls. Then Aamir did something straight out of his movies. He covered his mouth with both hands….a very common gesture of dismay in our films and one that Aamir probably used in Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra's Rang De Basanti when, say, Soha Ali Khan's boyfriend died in an aircrash. It's an expression that method actors practice in front of the mirror .
Playing the role of reformer is not easy. Aamir has mastered the art. Sadly the mastery showed up on camera on that historical Sunday morning. His influence in the field of cinema is undoubtedly exemplary. And honestly, if I had to choose one entertainer to take us through the horrors that pervade lives in non-urban cultures I'd choose Aamir.
He has the clout. And the gravitas. Lamentably he just couldn't bring enough genuine feeling to the table when he spoke to the victims of female foeticide in the first episode of his long awaited serial Satyamev Jayate.
And it's not entirely his fault. The role of the crusader seemed to have been embossed on his sleeve rather than his soul. The lines were rehearsed, as they had to be. You can't film misery without pre-written lines. And that's where the difference of perception crept in. The women who had suffered hadn't rehearsed their lines. Their appalling experiences seeped out of their lacerated souls. The tears had dried up. Unfortunately the camera doesn't respect invisible tears. Our host had to keep that in mind. TRPs are important too, you know.
It's too early to say which way Satyamev Jayate would finally go. The first episode, though brave and thought provoking, was disappointing in its lack of genuine connectivity between the host and the victims of social atrocity. No doubt Aamir has his heart in the right place. Not even the hardest cynic would doubt his sincerity of purpose.
But Aamir just doesn't get it. To get a feel of murk one needs to step personally into the slush. At the moment Aamir is happy to be just watching the show from the sidelines. Maybe in the coming weeks he would plunge into the Great Indian Muddle Class to actually feel what those wretchedly tortured lives felt when they were forced to kill their babies. Or boys who are forced to sleep with producers to get roles in Bollywood. I 'm hoping one of the forthcoming episodes would deal with that.
At the moment Satyamev Jayate looks like a product of elitist conscientiousness . It may grow into the movement that Aamir hopes it would. Hope, after all, is the Indian middleclass dope for survival.
Giving away the whistle-inducing fee he has received for anchoring this praiseworthy show to the victims who play stellar roles in the show, would certainly shut up the cynics.
When Oprah addresses unhappy lives she brings to the studio years of charitable work and a kind of keen apprehension of the mechanics of gender and fiscal prejudice.
Aamir doesn't quite fit in. The spirit is willing. But the connectivity is weak.

Third Mt.Tom Summit House
After fire destroyed the second Summit House in 1929 (the first house was also destroyed by fire in 1901), a third house was built just north of where the first two houses stood. It was nowhere near as majestic as the previous houses, just a simple steel frame and corrugated metal sided structure. The house remained open until 1936 when trolley service along with the Mt. Tom Railroad ceased operation, and stood until 1939 when it was scrapped along with the incline rail line. All that remains today of the third house is a concrete stairway and the concrete foundation blocks on which the house rested upon.

Own Your Own Zipcode!
Bridgeville's for sale again. No, really. Go look.
For only $3,552 per month for 30 years you can own your own town. Or, for just $995,000 now you can avoid the interest payments. The 83 acre town made history when it was first offered for sale in 2002 on eBay. It's been for sale several times since then including in 2006 when BBC News said the $1.75 million dollar price included, "three cows, eight houses, and a post office."
Possibly the cows have died in the intervening ten years and that accounts for the $755,000 price drop…

This is a 2- component, single center study, witch aims to evaluate the efficacy of multisite intracardiac echocardiography (mICE) imaging of left atrial appendage (LAA) and in detecting thrombus located in LAA as compared to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The study group will consist of patients eligible for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedure (Component I) or cardioversion (Component II).
First component will enroll 100 patients; these patients will undergo clinically indicated TEE & cardiac catheterization procedures with ICE(AF ablation). Second component will enroll 15-20 patients with AF or atrial flutter in whom a thrombus in LAA was detected by TEE prior to electrical cardioversion. The ICE probe will be located in multiple positions in the right atrium (RA), coronary sinus (CS), pulmonary artery (PA), right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and esophagus. This will enable the investigators to compare sensitivity and specificity of mICE and TEE.
This study will examine two hypotheses in AF patients undergoing invasive cardiac procedures:
Hypothesis 1: That ICE has comparable efficacy to TEE in visualization of LAA from multiple positions (RA,CS,PA,RVOT and esophagus ). This will be evaluated during the component I of the study.
Hypothesis 2: That ICE can identify low risk patients, CHADS Score < 2,0 in whom immediate cardioversion during the procedure is as safe as based on conventional strategy.

[ Time Frame: intraoperative - up to six hours ]Predictive value of ICE compared to TEE in visualization of morphology (area and volume of LAA) and function of LAA (emptying velocity and ejection fraction of LAA) - offline analyses will be conducted. Quality of LAA imaging will be assessed using 5-grade scale, and compared to that obtained by TEE. Grade 0 means unacceptable quality wheras grade 5 means exellent view of LAA. Exclusion of existence of thrombus in LAA by mICE will enable electrical cardioversion of AF during AF ablation procedure. That will by assessed using binary scale - YES or NO.

A Brilliant Take on Hypocrisy of Corporations
Friedman thinks that corporations are good for society (and that too much government is bad). He recoils, however, at the idea that corporations should try to do good for society. "A corporation is the property of its stockholders ... Its interests are the interests of its stockholders. Now, beyond that should it spend the stockholders' money for purposes which it regards as socially responsible but which it cannot connect to its bottom line? The answer I would say is no." There is but one "social responsibility" for corporate executives, Friedman believes: they must make as much money as possible for their shareholders. This is a moral imperative. Executives who choose social and environmental goals over profits — who try to act morally — are, in fact, immoral.
There is, however, one instance when corporate social responsibility can be tolerated, according to Friedman — when it is insincere. The executive who treats social and environmental values as means to maximize shareholders' wealth — not as ends in themselves — commits no wrong. It's like "putting a good-looking girl in front of an automobile to sell an automobile ... That's not in order to promote pulchritude. That's in order to sell cars." Good intentions, like good-looking girls, can sell goods. It's true, Friedman acknowledges, that this purely strategic view of social responsibility reduces lofty ideals to "hypocritical window dressing." But hypocrisy is virtuous when it serves the bottom line. Moral virtue is immoral when it does not.
Corporations are created by law and imbued with purpose by law. ... at least in the United States and other industrialized countries, the corporation, as created by law, most closely resembles Milton Friedman's ideal model of the institution: it compels executives to prioritize the interests of their companies and shareholders above all others and forbids them from being socially responsible — at least genuinely so.
[Adam] Smith, in his 1776 classic, The Wealth of Nations, said he was troubled by the fact that corporations' owners, their shareholders, did not run their own businesses but delegated that task to professional managers. The latter could not be trusted to apply the same "anxious vigilance" to manage "other people's money" as they would their own, he wrote, and "negligence and profusion therefore must prevail, more or less, in the management of such a company."
The "best interests of the corporation" principle, now a fixture in the corporate laws of most countries, addresses Smith's concern by compelling corporate decision makers always to act in the best interests of the corporation, and hence its owners. The law forbids any other motivation for their actions, whether to assist workers, improve the environment, or help consumers save money. They can do these things with their own money, as private citizens. As corporate officials, however, stewards of other people's money, they have no legal authority to pursue such goals as ends in themselves - only as means to serve the corporation's own interests, which generally means to maximize the wealth of its shareholders.
Corporate social responsibility is thus illegal - at least when it is genuine.
Now isn't that sweet.

I don't think you quite understand the matter as well as you think you do. You presuppose that helping the consumers isn't in the best interest of the corporation. Which, in fact, most of the time, it is. Private unionized large corporations often have a tremendous amount of benefits - this is because it is within their own interests to do so. Don't forget Smith's maxim that states what is good for the individual is good for the collective (I'm paraphrasing if you can't tell).

Hi Servati, thanks for your comment. I'll try and respond to this as best as I can rationally without sounding offensive (I guess you can tell from my selections from the book that my stance, like the author's, is technically antagonistic). As most of us are aware, debates revolving these issues can become emotional and heated, but I'm all for an intellectual dialogue on this.
I'd like to address first your point that I "presuppose that helping the consumers isn't in the best interest of the corporation". I never said this; on the other hand, what I'm trying to draw attention to is the fact that corporations are legally and morally bound to protect and maximize, first and foremost, the interests (wealth) of their shareholders. The key point is the part in bold - if the interest of the consumer happens to overlap with the interest of the corporation, then indeed the corporation will be in a great position to help those consumers. And often this is the case - if consumers do not consume goods produced by a particular corporation, the corporation wouldn't be able to maximize the interests of its shareholders. Consumers are served because they are a means to the shareholders' end of profit. That's fine insofar as the interests of consumers are protected and served.
However, the most problematic aspect of this "best interest of the corporation" principle is that if people stand in the way of a corporation, the corporation has a moral/legal duty to 'overcome' those human obstacles. In many cases these obstacles are trivial, but in some serious cases, these obstacles can come in the form of regulation that is meant to protect the environment, schools, health care, etc. This is the reason why many still feel uneasy whenever public goods become privatized. If, for instance, health care in Country A had been privatized to Corporation B and, one day, Corporation B no longer deems providing coverage to the elderly profitable, it is not legally bound to continue providing that coverage.
I would carry on, but first I'd like to hear how you'd comment on that.

" but in some serious cases, these obstacles can come in the form of regulation that is meant to protect the environment, schools, health care, etc." I understand what you are getting at. But I think that there is something you are missing entirely. People seem to have this perception of corporations as if they are some evil death star - they aren't. They would be if their interests didn't lie in the consumers, but the fact of the matter is that their interests do.
I'll explain. Let us pretend that you and I are both a part of a multi-billion dollar corporation. We are the CEOs. In our world (and in the real world we live in), there is tremendous concern for environmental safety and protection. Clearly, we aren't going to try to circumvent these laws which could lead to lawsuits against us for damaging one's property - in the instance that we pollute a lake and thus someone else's water supply; this is obvious. However, I'm sure you are pointing to the fact of global warming and corporations influences on the matter. This is still just as simple. If you and I are the CEOs, do we really want to be polluting the air? Yes, because likely it is cheaper to do so. However, a corporation is ALWAYS subjected by its consumers. If consumers are unhappy with the way a corporation is doing something, they are not likely to want to buy from them, hence the new "green" revolution that all the corporations are trying to jump into. You see, the public image of a corporation is so important that it can always be subjected by the consumer. If the CEOs were to, for lack of a better word, say "fuck it its cheaper to pollute the environment. It would, in fact, be worse for the corporations profits.
This is the beauty of mass media and its ability to hold corporations true to its consumers. As long as the will of the consumer is against pollution, it will be in the interest of the corporation to "go green."
As for the global warming issue, which you may or may not be implying: one volcano releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than humans have ever. I'm not a right-wing conservative who believes there is no such process occurring though; I think it is from sunspots. But this, is a whole other matter.

Hey sorry for the late reply.
That's pretty much where my concerns lie, because while it might seem like most corporations are doing good because they are bounded by the interests of their consumers, big corporations exist that are too powerful to be constrained. It would be fine and dandy if a free market world really did exist because then a firm wouldn't be able to accumulate capital to the point that it becomes a political entity, but today's corporations are so big they can significantly manipulate consumers' lives, influence regulation and shape both domestic and global public policy. And when consumers become dependent and reliant on big companies, those consumers' ability to limit the actions of corporation will undeniably be compromised. In theory, the will of the consumer is supposed to regulate the corporation. In reality, it does not. I'll touch on this more later. Once more, if I can profit by harming the environment, and consumers need me so much they can't do anything, why wouldn't I do it?
Consider, for instance, General Electric, one of the largest and most highly respected firms in the world. From 1990 to 2001, it committed 42 major legal breaches of environmental standards, fraud, worker safety and deception. Time and again GE is fined hundreds of thousands of dollars, but time and again, because it doesn't cost much to be fined, GE continues trying its luck as it can afford to pay petty fines. I'd go into a whole list of other big corporations that compromise on human rights and environmental standards but I believe the GE example should suffice.
And I'm not even faulting the corporation for this; the fact is that any decision-making entity given the legal capacity to pursue its own self-interest the way that the corporation is allowed (and, in fact, mandated to) will do just that – get away with murder if it can.
I think that you brought up a number of worrying points though. Firstly, I think the idea that the mass media can keep the corporation in check sounds rather naive, considering that the mass media is the number one propagator of corporate advertising. If the corporation is powerful enough to buy over media space to proclaim that something it is doing is good, wouldn't that be the "truth" we're fed? I would be more charitable on the press and the news as a source of regulation, but even then, with the US as an example, Noam Chomsky has acutely pointed out that news media outlets are dominantly right-wing by association (see Chomsky's Interventions), so collaboration between news sources and corporations are commonplace today. Even scientific research is increasingly being funded by corporations, so "truths" and knowledge generated in the interest of corporations will be most desirable. Next, I think you're giving far too much credit to the will of the consumer. I'm not sure if I even need to argue the point that humans are notoriously capable of being influenced (see Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely), and marketing experts exploit this to devastating effect. As mentioned earlier, the will of the consumer can be bent and while in most mundane cases the corporation can't survive by serving trash to people, huge firms are capable of, for e.g., making us purchase a whole load of things we do not need, breeding immense reliance on consumer products (this has more room for elaboration but I'll leave it at this for now). Most consumers also either do not care enough about the background activities of corporations or are unaware of them, and so covert harms to the environment are rife. Lastly, I'd be labeled typical stereotypes by being this conservative, but if it can't be argued beyond reasonable doubt about the impact of particular activities of corporations on the environment - such as global warming as you've mentioned - and other human rights (e.g. sweatshops), then why risk it? In all seriousness of rationality I don't see reason to forgo the precautionary principle and go ahead with something when it might incur potential harms.

I think you're right about the fact that corporations have far too much influence on the government. However, they only succeed because of the regulation in the first place. We could get into economics, but it will give just as much credence to both of our opinions - given the fact that economics is a lot like philosophy, at least in the sense that there are a ton of theories that cannot necessarily be proven. Anyways, I definitely think there should be some sort of public funding for candidacy for those wanting to assume public office.
If a corporation can profit by harming the environment, then of course they would. However, if it is the within the will of the majority's concerns to preserve the environment, then companies who want to have a more profitable business will find ways to be more environmental.
Regarding GE, you're right. There is a huge problem there. They paid no taxes this year either. I think we both can agree that corporations are given way too much power in the political realm, which is obviously due to the relationship between politics and business.
Once again, you're right. Corporations are in control of the advertisements etc. However, I think you are missing the reciprocity of it all. You are acting as if man is a herd and corporations are the herders. I think you are giving them more power than they deserve. Of course, they try to do anything to appeal to us - and in certain circumstances they do get us to buy a whole bunch of things we don't need. But they can't sell anything they want - there are boundaries.
By the way: you have to be kidding me about the right-wing thing. Nearly all news outlets are of left-wing. The only exceptions are fox news and the wall street journal. I think that the reason why corporations have obtained all of their power is precisely because of government intervention. And as long as politicians say, "we will work together with business," we should be afraid. I do not think the problem is the free-market. I think the problem is with the collaboration between government and corporations. I'm not sure you are familiar with such names, but likely you are - Tom Sowell, Milton Friedman, and Ayn Rand have been saying that without help from government, there would be no such corporations that could have ever existed. They have been using the government to crush their competition: I think this is the greatest problem of all.

Hi Servati, sorry for the absence as I've been traveling! I think we've hit quite a bit of common ground on the issue so far, so there are only two points I'd like to clarify or emphasize.
I think we agree that in most cases companies are constrained by the will of the public and have behaved reciprocally. In a large part of the world, most businesses are honestly run.
However, once again, as with the emphasis of this post in the first place, I am still adamant that the legal rules (I guess if we were to seek out their roots, it would be particularly in the case of US policies) do encourage corporations to tend towards exploitation, gaining political power and generally "bad behaviour" if they are able to get away with it. Once again, the "bad behaviour" is simply because the legal rules allow big corporations to override what the public wants. I'm not sure if you feel this way, but I think there are far more products out there than I care to buy, but I am told to get them anyway, everyday through advertising and other dependency means. Consumers may think that they know what they want (and through that knowledge dictate the behaviour of corporations), but there is alot of research now indicating that consumers are more often in fact herded (to borrow your word) by the most pervasive and powerful of corporations.
Secondly, I'd like to back up the point about right-wing media outlets but I do not have my book sources with me at the moment. Give me a day or two and I'll have it here.

Regarding "the right-wing thing", I'll follow up by citing Peter Hart, Advocacy Director and Media Analyst for Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting.
"There are any number of ways to study the mass media - comparing what is reported to what is neglected or buried in the back pages, or analyzing the sources and experts who dominate discussions of important events. Doing that sort of work helps to measure the distance from the rhetoric of media executives and superstar pundits to what appears on the printed page or TV screen. This gap between the values that corporate media barons profess to cherish - a robust, skeptical and adversarial press - and the product they sell is often considerable, but in elite circles paying lip service to the most cherished principles of the First Amendment seems to count more than actually living up to its principles.
Most op-ed pages fall well short of these lofty goals, though the Times' mission statement gets close to describing what is really going on. In the elite papers - the ones with the largest circulations which wield the most influence among the powerful (primarily the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and New York Times) - the op-ed page serves as one more place where the parameters of acceptable debate are clearly delineated. That which can be published regularly is obviously within these boundaries, and the ideas that never or rarely appear most certainly do not. So the Times can say without exaggeration that their page, and many others like it, "reflects" a certain type of public debate - namely, the one that the elite political classes and corporate interests will tolerate... The related field of television punditry - the handful of journalists and commentators who make a living offering pithy sound bites about almost any subject - suffers, by no accident, from the same very limited spectrum, often relying on the very same people to provide opinion and analysis... While a freewheeling, broad debate sure sounds nice, this wasn't what was appearing in the Times. Former Times columnist Anthony Lewis, for example, once explained that the page was clearly a creature of the Times' own establishment-friendly politics, and the idea that he represented a left or progressive viewpoint that might balance the likes of William Safire was absurd. When Ben Bagdikian surveyed the opinion pages in the mid-1960s, he found that editors' claims that they sought out a wide ideological range of columnists was difficult to square with the fact that the papers had a "preponderance of conservative columnists."
Surveying the terrain nearly thirty years later, Croteau and Hoynes found a similar rightward skew in the distribution of political columnists. Of the top seven most-circulated columnists, four were well-known conservatives (George Will, James Kilpatrick, William Safire, and William F. Buckley). Rounding out the top tier were centrist political reporter David Broder and Columnist Mike Royko, with Ellen Goodman as the lone liberal. As Croteau and Hoynes concluded, "The most widely distributed columnists of the day still deliver messages that resonate with the right, and there is still no coherent presentation of the 'other point of view.'"
About ten years later, another survey by FAIR found much the same - the ideological spectrum had hardly changed, but some names had shifted places. Archconservatives James Dobson and Cal Thomas were at the top of the list (calculated by the number of papers carrying their column), which fellow conservatives Robert Novak and George Will not far behind... the opinion pages of daily newspapers are yet another corner of the corporate media universe where right-wing voices dominate, and the general debate extends from the far-right to the center, occasional exceptions notwithstanding.
This hardly seems open to serious debate, no matter what the most conservative pundits and cable news hosts have to say about the allegedly left-wing tendencies of the corporate press."

Smashed Hits: Like a Rolling Stone
Bids of up to £1m are expected for the original handwritten lyrics of Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone, writes Alan Connor. Can words on paper convey the effect of what the songwriter described as "this long piece of vomit"?
"Now you're gonna have to get used to it," spits Dylan. This was a message already delivered many times by a figure known for his messages. Hard rain is coming, just as chimes of freedom are flashing.
But in earlier songs like When the Ship Comes In, there's no vomit to be seen. The language is sermon-like and the change that's coming is the righting of eternal injustices. The Times They Are a-Changin' owes not a little to the Sermon on the Mount's "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth". That earlier Dylan could be reassuring, even. You can imagine The Times They Are a-Changin' coming from a gospel choir. Like a Rolling Stone, from 1965, is anarchy, and Dylan sounds like he's enjoying it.
It's also, like Pulp's Common People three decades later, addressed not to society but to an individual. One woman can't take for granted her place in the world - and Dylan stalks her through the chaos, pointing, practically laughing. And the language is not biblical but hip and modern - with enough jugglers and Siamese cats mixed in to make it absurdly timeless.
There's so much language - the single was shipped to DJs split across two sides, and even as side two fades, it seems Dylan could go on indefinitely, yelping through all the original lyrics on the four pages of hotel stationery. And that delivery, and the music surrounding it, conveys the spirit of Like a Rolling Stone as much as its words.
The song was a new peak in a year which saw musicians outdoing each other at giddying speed. How about this, it asks - a startling short story with shuffling chords out of Twist and Shout? It's noise to be played loud in a car, not reverentially from a Dansette. In 1991, Dylan fans were astonished to hear an early take which did not begin with that mortar-shell drum noise - and which turned out to be a steady waltz. It's Like a Rolling Stone in name only, because the song's legacy is as a raucous recording, not a set of lyrics. Whoever buys the original will have something of value, to be sure, but is it worth pawning a diamond ring for?

OCZ Vertex 2 60GB Solid State Drive review
Andy Ruffell / 8 years ago
I still distinctively recall myself saying this out loud back in the early 2000s. "60GB? What can I do with that!?" As we approach the end of 2010, I caught myself saying the same thing — albeit in an entirely different context. "60GB? What can I do with that!?" In the days where 1000GB hard drives are a dime a dozen, the rise of solid state drives in recent years among enthusiasts and high end computer users has always been focused on one thing: Performance. Sure, you can fill up a 60GB drive with a couple movies and a few songs, but that's not the point. Because the cost-per-gigabyte of an SSD is probably more than thirty times higher than a traditional mechanical hard drive at the time of writing this review, most users probably can't afford to use them for mass storage — and at the same time, it is not a practical solution at the time being, either. After all, you probably don't go through everything in your hard drive every single day, right? Therefore, here is a popular solution for people trying to squeeze more performance out of their system: Buy a modest capacity SSD for your operating system and all your programs, and a big fat hard drive to store everything else. The OCZ Vertex 2 60GB solid state drive we are reviewing today is designed for this very purpose. Powered by the popular SandForce SF-1200 controller, promising up to 285MB/s and 275MB/s read and write speed respectively, 0.1ms access latency, and up to 50,000 IOPS, how well does this high performance storage device improve your computing experience? Read on to find out!

IN THE midst of all the changes taking place in Scottish football you could say that there has never been a better time for fans to have a greater say in the running of their clubs.
Through fan trusts, supporters are finding their voice and trying to have a say in the running of their clubs, with differing results.
Already, at Stirling Albion, we have seen the fans take complete control of the club - while at Fir Park the Well Society is continuing to make great strides in their bid for ownership.
We talk to Well Society member, Graham Barnstaple, about their work and how they have worked with the club to achieve their goal.
We also find it about their recent meeting with the club over league reconstruction and hear he they were won round after hearing the case for the new model.
