The collective management of capital has never been realised by any country. Just as Rand would not call today's capitalist countries representative of her idea, so too would a true socialist not call those countries socialist which never actually realised the idea.
(Oxford English Dictionary)
Capitalism n. 1. The possession of capital or wealth; an economic system in which private capital or wealth is used in the production or distribution of goods and prices are determined mainly in a free market; the dominance of private owners of capital and of production for profit.
Communism n.1. a theory that advocates the abolition of private ownership, all property being vested in the community, and the organization of labour for the common benefit of all members; a system of social organization in which this theory is put into practice.
Communism n. 2a. A political doctrine or movement based on revolutionary Marxism, seeking the overthrow of capitalism through a proletarian revolution, the social ownership of the means of production, and the creation of a classless society. Cf. Marxism–Leninism n., Eurocommunism n.
Communism n. 2b. A system of government in which all economic and social activity is controlled by the state acting through the medium of a single authoritarian political party, with the purported aim of realizing the doctrines of revolutionary Marxism. Cf. Bolshevism n.
Socialism n. 2. A theory or system of social organization based on state or collective ownership and regulation of the means of production, distribution, and exchange for the common benefit of all members of society; advocacy or practice of such a system, esp. as a political movement. Now also: any of various systems of liberal social democracy which retain a commitment to social justice and social reform, or feature some degree of state intervention in the running of the economy.
State capitalism n. 1. A political (esp. socialist) system in which the State exerts exclusive control over a substantial proportion of the means of production and the capital created by this.
State socialism n. 1. A political system with socialist characteristics in which the State owns public utilities and major industries; support for or advocacy of this system.

Adeikov, multiple questions within one entry are usually frowned upon on OA because it disenfranchises viewers from being able to search for and study specific topics. I'd suggest boiling down your questions into one primary question, or asking multiple questions on different subjects.

Adeikov, I don't want to work, put my money into a collective pool and then have the collective dictate to me whether I should drink a Coke or a Pepsi that evening. Do you?
(Jan 31 '13 at 11:43) Humbug
I agree with JK Gregg's comment about limiting a "question" to one main question. There is, however, a very dominant theme in this "question" that raises nothing less than the central theme of Atlas Shrugged: the theme of "collective management of capital," which in Atlas is: the role of the mind in man's existence. The connection is the concept of "capital" -- where it comes from, what it depends on, and (in Galt's words) "who depends on whom, who supports whom, who is the source of wealth, who makes whose livelihood possible and what happens to whom when who walks out."
"Collective management of capital" also raises the issue of physical force, which paralyzes and destroys rational minds, who make "capital" possible in the first place. Those who endorse the question's premises don't wish to consider the origin of capital; for them, capital is already here, and the only remaining task is to decide how to distribute it. Note the "tribal" (collective) premise at work here, too: the presumed, unquestioned need for a powerful central authority to do the distributing, and the assumption that "capital" belongs to "society."

Gear guide: What to wear for a winter run
The cold is no longer an excuse, gentlemen
Ah, the beauty of winter – where mornings are darker, days are shorter and the weather is colder. Mustering up the motivation to head out of the door for a 5am run can therefore be neigh on impossible to achieve and in these conditions, who can blame you? It's time to buckle up because your lack of motivation shouldn't even come onto your radar if you're kitted out properly. So, from headphones to hand-warmers, here's your essential winter running guide:
The right jacket
When it comes to running, there are few pieces of kit that are worth investing in like the perfect jacket. You need to find something durable; a piece that will last you for years and that you'll thank your lucky stars for when your alarm goes off. Look no further than this Shield Storm-FIT jacket from Nike, a piece designed solely for unpredictable weather conditions and one that's as stylish as it is functional.
The essential neck warmer
Granted, this isn't the best looking bit of kit out there but you'll thank us for this when the freezing wind is no longer breathing down your neck. Cold winds down your next and back is a sure fire way to end up with stiff muscles and joints and functional pieces of clothing such as this are a guaranteed way to avoid that.
A decent pair of headphones
Let music help you stay sane on those early mornings and late nights, and stay stylish with one of the most coveted pair of sports headphones out there. The beauty of these is that they're built for outdoor activities, so they're sweat-proof and have on-the-go controls that you just can't beat.
A good pair of gloves
Cold hands are something that no gentleman should have to be subject to, particularly when there are so many incredible options available. Go for a pair of durable and reflective gloves that'll help you stay exposed, even if you're out there before the sun comes up: this pair from Nike are designed specifically for challenging conditions.
Well-fitted trainers
Trainers are the most important part of your running kit to get right. Without sounding like your mother, wearing a worn-out, old pair of trainers is going to do nothing for you except cause you pain and injury, hindering your progress altogether. Once you've got functionality out the way, ensure that you go for something stylistically on-point such as this pair from Asics. The shoe is sturdy and durable and the reflective, neon trimmings are perfect for those cold, winter runs.
Compression leggings
One of the greatest pieces of advice we can share with other runners is to wear compression leggings underneath shorts. Not only are these guaranteed to keep you warm, but they are also the easiest way to avoid injury. With this pair, the calves and quads are injected with a special silicon technology that will offer targeted support and reduce muscle vibration during intense runs.
A stylish pair of shorts
No gentleman should ever go to the gym in leggings and leggings alone, but you should know that by now. Wear these on top of your compression leggings and stay warm and stylish at the same time. Made with Nike's famed DRI-Fit technology to repel sweat and Hydra Void technology is used to ensure that the cloth is durable and water repellent.

text: Share: Comments Print March 30, 2009 at 7:50 AM NCAA tourney: Elite Eight roundup Posted by Jayda Evans Seedings immediately knock any conspiracy theories out, but is it odd to anyone else that overall No. 1 Connecticut could potentially defeat the Pac-10's top three teams sequentially en route to winning a title? Of course, Stanford has to win today against Iowa State for that to happen. And the Cardinals are the last team to defeat the Huskies, doing so 82-73 in the semifinal round to reach the championship against Tennessee. In a repeated storyline in the tournament, solid post play could guide the Cardinal to a second consecutive Final Four where they could have a redo, this time spoiling an undefeated season. Some are giving No. 6 Arizona State a chance against UConn because of depth and scoring. If they had a healthy Dymond Simon (knee), I'd agree. The Elite Eight is probably as far as this talented team can go without her. (But remember Michigan State in the men's tourney — anything can happen) Seattle's subregional winner, No. 4 Pitt, is out after strong play by No. 1 Oklahoma, which played in its home state. Guard play was superb for the Sooners in the game, the inside-out punch should advance Oklahoma to the Final Four and keep senior Courtney Paris about $65,000 richer. The game of the tournament could be No. 3 Louisville against No. 1 Maryland tonight on ESPN simply because of Angel McCoughtry and Marissa Coleman, who scored 42 points in a come-from-behind win against No. 4 Vanderbilt. They're both dynamic players who don't want their college careers to end just yet. For more links, you can always try WomensBasketballOnline.com Comments

Say "Hi!" to Roos Naftaniel
This week, we want to introduce you all to one of our senior campaign managers. Roos Naftaniel has been working with us for a year now, so it seems only fair to show you the face behind the sales mails.
Who are you?
"My name is Roos Naftaniel, I'm 28 years old. Right now, I'm living in Amsterdam, but I'm moving to Badhoevedorp next week."
How many projects have you done?
"Right now I'm working on my fifth project, which is the Christmas Guide that will be distributed with Algemeen Dagblad."
What project are you most proud of?
"On the one hand my Dreamhomes campaign, that was distributed with Het Financieele Dagblad, because of the high turnover. But on the other hand I'm also very proud of the Summerguide I did that was distributed with Het Parool, because that one had some really great ads."
What's your best advice for new campaign managers?
"Don't give up, even when you really think you will not make it. You can always do more than you think. Accept the challenges and you will grow."
What do you like to do when you're not working?
"Food is my biggest passion. I love testing all the restaurants I can find to try all types of food. I can also talk about food for hours. Next to that, I love shopping. I find that really relaxing."
Favourite fika?
Any company gossip?
"Plenty. ;)"
Tell us about your best deal?
"That was in my second campaign, Business Travel. It was a cross media sale: a full page in print and 5.000 readers online. With a very low discount. The customer was in L.A. on business, and while she was making the deal she was also ordering a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Very casual!"
*Tompussy, more commonly known as tompouce, is a famous Dutch kind of pastry.

Russ Vandenburg steps down as CEO of El Paso's TVO
Downtown El Paso's housing market is still in its infancy, but strong leasing responses to the most recent additions has some community leaders and pioneering developers hopeful of a future growth spurt. Victor Calzada/El Paso Times
Russ Vandenburg has stepped down as chief executive officer of TVO North America, a national real estate management and property-services company based in El Paso, due to health reasons.
Vandenburg, 69, said he had quadruple heart-bypass surgery Sept. 26 and then another surgery 10 days later because of complications.
Vandenburg and his brother, Wayne Vandenburg, who started TVO and its affiliated companies in 1983, decided it was best for him to leave as CEO of TVO North America and its sister company, TVO Management Services, because of the health problems, he said.
He officially left TVO Oct. 1, but continues to have an ownership stake in TVO and its affiliated companies, he said in a recent telephone interview.
TVO North America and TVO Management Services, based in the Wells Fargo building in Downtown, employ about 200 people in El Paso, including at three hotels TVO owns with partners, Russ Vandenburg said.
Wayne Vandenburg, CEO and board chairman of TVO Groupe, the Chicago-based parent company of TVO North America and other affiliated companies, said in an email that his brother's 34 years as CEO "has definitely taken a toll on him both physically and emotionally."
"For many reasons, it was time for him to focus his attention to his own well-being and health," Wayne Vandenburg said.
Steve Beltran, president of TVO Management Services, which does the day-to-day property management services for TVO Groupe's extensive portfolio of multifamily, office, hotel, and industrial properties, will continue in his position and take over most of Russ Vandenburg's duties, Wayne Vandenburg said. Beltran is one of two of Russ Vandenburg's sons who work for TVO.
"Russ mentored Steve Beltran well," Wayne Vandenburg said. "Steve has served with distinction as the president/chief operating officer of the property-management platform for a significant number of years and is well prepared for the task at hand."
Wayne Vandenburg said he sees Beltran becoming CEO of TVO North America and TVO Management Services in the future.
Beltran has been in a number of positions in his 25 years with TVO, and has been president of TVO Management Services for about six years.
TVO Groupe oversees several affiliated companies, including TVO Capital Management, which owns mostly apartment complexes across the United States, and more recently began investing in hotels.
TVO Capital Management in the summer bought, with a partner, the 90-room Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in East Central El Paso. It also owns the Hilton Garden Inn, just outside the University of Texas at El Paso campus, and the Country Inn and Suites by Carlson in West El Paso.
More: El Paso's Marriott Courtyard hotel bought for $11.2 million
Russ Vandenburg has been active in El Paso community organizations, including in economic development organizations, and as a supporter of University of Texas at El Paso athletics.

"I expect that he will remain highly active and involved within the El Paso community in the months and years ahead," Wayne Vandenburg said.

How to Dispute Items on Your Credit Report
Your credit report contains information regarding your address, spending habits, payment history, arrest record, and any bankruptcies you may have filed. It can be accessed by possible employers, lenders, landlords, and other companies or persons who feel the need to check your credit history.
Usually there are no problems with a credit report. They're accurate, current and complete. Occasionally, there are errors. When these errors occur, you might lose a job opportunity, a chance at a new house, or a car loan. That's why you need to keep an eye on your credit report and check it regularly. By law, the major credit reporting agencies must provide you with a free copy of your report once every twelve months, if you ask for it. Additionally, if you're denied a loan or job due to a poor credit report, you're guaranteed by law to receive a free copy of your credit report from the company that provided it.
Keeping tabs on your credit score will help keep it current, accurate and as low as possible. The lower your credit score, the lower your interest on new loans. If your credit report is clean, you'll find getting a loan is simple and costs less. Watching your credit report can also help prevent identity theft, as you will notice if someone tries to start an account with your personal information.
If you find an error on your report, the key is to be thorough. You can have the error removed, but you need to go through the proper channels. It takes preparation and patience to correct mistakes and inconsistencies. Follow these steps.
To have an error removed, you must first report it to the credit reporting firm. Do this in writing and be sure to get a return receipt indicating the item was mailed by you and received by them. Include a letter explaining which charge or charges you believe to be inaccurate. Include written documentation to prove your case. The more proof you have, the better your case will go and the faster it will be decided. The reporting company must investigate all reports of inaccuracies. Their report on your dispute must be provided to you free of charge. If the investigation results in a change in your credit report, the reporting company must provide you with a free copy of your new report.
If your case is not decided in your favor, go to the provider who originally made the loan or approved the charge. Send them a written report detailing why the charge is inaccurate. Once again, include any written documentation to make your case. Your provider must report that you have disputed the charge on any future credit reports.
Your credit report can be your ally, provided you keep it high and keep your eye on it. Report any suspected inaccuracies immediately and completely. Your credit score is too important to risk any errors. Luckily, they're usually correctable.

Little League Baseball started in the Thornton/Northglenn area in the early 60's. As the cities grew, so did the need for more fields. In 1965 land owner Walt Stonehocker sold 255 acres of farmland located at 112th and York Street to the City of Northglenn with one stipulation; that Northern Lights Little League (NLLL) received 25.25 acres of that land for the development of a 9 field baseball complex for the cost of $1 per year for a 40 year period starting on January 1, 1968 through January 1, 2008. In 1966, Northern Lights Little League Inc. became its own entity and serviced the children east of I-25, 50% were from Northglenn, 50% from Thornton. Dedicated volunteers worked several hours running raffles and other fundraisers to raise the money to develop the complex. In 1993, the City of Northglenn looked to build a golf course and homes on the 255 acres of undeveloped land. NLLL tried to negotiate a deal for the 25.25 acres of property to be included into the cities plan for development of the property but found themselves being pushed out. After learning that the city of Northglenn had filed condemnation on the property at 112th and York Street, NLLL's Board of Directors, along with our consultants, contacted the City of Thornton, the Colorado Rockies and the McCormick Foundation developing a great relationship with them over the next 4 years. NLLL's Board of Directors, along with other volunteers worked endless hours to raise money to contribute to the building of a 7 field baseball complex at 138th and York Street. The City of Thornton contributed 18 acres of land, $100k, water and the maintenance of the fields. The Colorado Rockies contributed contractors, and Colorado Rockies outfielder Larry Walker contributed $80k to the project. NLLL contributed $300k and supplied volunteers to help in the development of the fields. NLLL opened for its inaugural season in March of 1998 and has a lease agreement to use the fields for 40 years.

Evan Osnos recently reported from Washington and Pyongyang on the tensions between the United States and North Korea; he concluded that despite the increasingly forceful rhetoric and military provocations from Kim Jong Un, neither country really has an appetite for nuclear war. Plus, David Remnick speaks with Julia Louis-Dreyfus about her perfect Emmy record as Selina Meyer—now President Selina Meyer—on HBO's "Veep," and the composer of the score for "Battle of the Sexes" compares a piano concerto to a tennis match.

Accumulators store energy by compressing a gas, usually nitrogen. This high-pressure gas then forces hydraulic fluid pot of the accumulator whenever system pressure drops below the gas compressed gas pressure. The storing of potential energy and cushioning nature of compressed gas also makes accumulators useful for reducing rapid dynamic behavior of the hydraulic system.
Pulsation absorption — Many pumps deliver power in a pulsating flow. The piston pump, commonly used for its high-pressure capability, can produce pulsations detrimental to a high-pressure system. An accumulator properly located in the system will substantially cushion these pressure variations.
Shock cushioning — If a cylinder or other actuator of a hydraulic system stops suddenly, the rapid change can create a pressure wave that travels back through the system. This shock wave can develop peak pressures several times greater than normal working pressures. An accumulator's gas cushion, properly located in the system, will minimize this shock.
Supplementing pump flow — An accumulator can assist a hydraulic pump in delivering power to the system. The pump routes pressurized fluid to the accumulator during idle periods of the work cycle. The accumulator stores trhis power and makes it available to help drive the load when peak power is needed. This enables a system to utilize a much smaller pump, resulting in savings in cost and power.
Maintaining pressure — Pressure changes occur in a hydraulic system when the liquid is subjected to rising or falling temperatures. Also, pressure may drop due to leakage of hydraulic fluid. An accumulator compensates for such pressure changes by delivering or receiving a small amount of hydraulic fluid. If the main power source should fail or be stopped, the accumulator would act as an auxiliary power source, maintaining pressure in the system.
Standby power — An accumulator can retain pressurized gas indefinitely and release the energy on command. This makes accumulators useful as a standby power source for when power is lost from the prime mover. For example, the accumulator can act as a hydraulic battery to power a hydraulic starter motor of an engine.

AOpen Aims $400 MiniPC at Creative Types
aopen inc. this week debuted a new miniature pc the size of a small book that can plug into virtually any monitorfrom six-inch screens to 60-inch plasma televisionsto display high-definition resolution.
the 6.5-inch-square minipc has a slot-load cd drive and a power button in the front, along with two usb ports, one 1394 and speaker out/mic in the back. it features an intel pentium celeron m notebook processor (1.3ghz) with near-silent cooling.
in addition, the minipc boasts a dvi connection, integrated ethernet card and slot-loaded dvd burner. the product comes with mini-pci 802.11 a/b/g wireless communication module and bluetooth support.
it will sell for $399 (pre-loaded linspire linux version) and $499 (pre-loaded windows xp) beginning this month at microcenter retail stores and on tigerdirect.com. a bare-bones version without a pre-loaded operating system also can be ordered for $399, the company said.

the minipc is the first direct product that taiwan-based aopen has developed with san diego-based linspire, aopen vice president of product marketing chris liu told ziff davis internet.
"we did our research and saw that linspire had the simplest-to-use interface and best look and feel among the linux distributions for the minipc," liu said, "so that's why we elected to work with them. we had done some indirect work with them in the past, also, through third parties, so we knew what linspire could offer.
"aopen ... has progressed from desktop platforms to small form factor platforms," liu said. "now we are taking a giant leap forward to develop consumer and ultra small form factor platforms."
the minipc is aimed at musicians, designers, students, avid computer enthusiastseven hardcore video gamersdue to the 1.3ghz power it packs into a compact form.
the minipc also provides dvi, s-video, component, composite and ypbpr connectors so that it can be connected to hdtv, plasma display monitor, large screen display panels and high-definition audio. the minipc can be turned into a control hub of a digital home entertainment center.
the minipc also will be resold through aopen partners such as linspire, canada-based voodoo and others, who will configure the pcs based on customer specifications.

He was a handsome little boy in 1926 at age of seven,
With his bib overalls and curly blond head of hair;
He wore knicker pants and more blond curls at age of eleven.
A uniformed Marine he was at twenty-two,
About as handsome as they come--this man with eyes of blue.
In his Platoon on Guadacanal there were seventy-five of them!
And on to other battles where they proved themselves as men.
He then became a husband and a father to our "Den",
At this time he was a farmer and a handsomely dressed young fellow,
His ways were fun and laughter and his life style was quite mellow.
In 1963 he chose to be a salesman; his customers loved his ways!
They gave him orders and heaped his head with praise.
His neighbors loved his manner; all his friends were staunch and true,
Amid his presence, with his liveliness, few of us were blue!
Marine Reunions were a pleasure, there was good living for this man;
To his family he gave devotion--how we loved him! all we can.
He was my Husband, Friend and Lover; a Companion I could Prize!
I will always cherish memories; He was a man to Idolize.

Yule Watch It
Ever sit and stare blankly at your television? How about at your computer monitor? Maybe you know the same feeling from staring into a hearth. (Primeval habits die hard.)
Well, in this convergent holiday season, you can have it all.
Beginning 1966, New York City television station WPIX-Channel 11 aired an uninterrupted image of a burning yule log accompanied by seasonal music for two to four hours on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning. Sometimes both. The station manager considered it a Christmas gift to those without fireplaces. The burning log was soon a hot ratings success and aired for more than two decades. In the late'80s a Grinch-like station manager canceled the four-hour program, largely because the format permitted no commercials.
Much to the delight of viewers, The Yule Log was brought back for Christmas 2001, and has continued to air since. The televised fire has been picked up or replicated by other stations nation-wide.
Find out more about the log's legacy at this fan site, or in the Wikipedia entry. Or simply enjoy it right here at The Sixth Square.Explore posts in the same categories: FREE

Human exposure to borates may occur through ingestion of food and water or insecticides used to control cockroaches, inhalation of boron-containing powders or dusts, or absorption of boron from cosmetics or medical preparations through mucous membranes or damaged skin. The most appreciable boron exposure to the general population is likely to be ingestion of food and to a lesser extent in water. Estimates of average daily boron ingestion by humans range from 10 to 25 mg (Beyer et al. 1983; Waggott 1969).
Occupational exposure to boron compounds may be higher. Workers in industries producing or using boron or boron compounds may be exposed by inhalation to boron-containing dusts or gaseous boron compounds due to process upsets or faulty equipment. Dermal absorption of boron may also occur if damaged skin is in contact with these materials, but this is considered a minor pathway (Stokinger 1981).
Borate dusts have been monitored in workplace air. Reported concentrations of borax dust in different areas of a large borax mining and refining plant ranged from 1.1 to 14.6 mg/m (Garabrant et al. 1985) and the mean boric acid/boron oxide dust concentration in a boric acid manufacturing plant was 4.1 mg/m (Garabrant et al. 1984). These values indicate that permissible exposure limits (PELs) set by OSHA, or threshold limit values (TLVs) recommended by the ACGIH, for boron-containing dusts in workplace air (Table 7-1) may, at times, be exceeded. Other industries include manufacture of fiberglass and other glass products, cleaning and laundry products, fertilizers, pesticides, and cosmetics (U.S. Borax and Chemical Corporation 1991; Stokinger 1981). Median normal values of boron in human blood (9.76 mg/100 g) and urine samples from these workers (720 mg boron/L) were reported (Stokinger 1981). Boron was not detected in a national survey of human adipose tissue (Stanley 1986). The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) estimated that the number of workers potentially exposed to boron increased from 6,500 in the early 1970s (NOHS 1989) to 35,600 in the early 1980s (NOES) 1989). Neither the NOHS nor the NOES databases contain information on the frequency, concentration, or duration of exposures of workers to any of the chemicals listed therein. These surveys provide only estimates of the number of workers potentially exposed to chemicals in the workplace. Sittig (1985) reports that NIOSH estimated the number of workers potentially exposed to borax at 2,490,000, to boron oxide at 21,000, and to boron trifluoride at 50,000.

Contractor administration is the managing of outsourced work performed for an individual company. An audit is performed primarily based on the providers which are performed by the contractor and the danger related to that service. The audit ensures that the contractor has ready for, and is implementing, safety tips in their everyday practices. The database needs to be updated regularly, to ensure that all stakeholders are stored informed of any adjustments, significantly if the contractor administration program is getting used to remove subpar performers.
With the persevering with outsourcing of production, firms wrestle to standardize their contractor management processes. For example, many massive refineries have integrated their gate entry control system to a contractor administration software. This gives real-time access to the performance of the contractor workforce inside the refinery. Efficient contractor administration depends first on a standardized prequalification kind (PQF).
The usage of an online contractor management database facilitates the sharing of contractor data in a secure format with all essential customers, using 24-7/365 availability. Some contractor management applications are cloud based software program platforms that permit contractors to manage their own permits, licenses, inductions, training data and other points that facilitate organisational and regulatory compliance.
The prequalification form ensures that the required steps are in place for a contractor to work safely and sustainably, previous to establishing an agreement, or permitting a vendor to come on-web site. A radical prequalification kind with each of these parts is used to verify incidence rates and ensures that the contractor's insurance certification is according to firm necessities. A database can be used to report and entry the vendor information inside a contractor administration program.
The prequalification kind is then reviewed for OSHA logs 2 and Expertise Modification Rankings (EMR) to unearth any inconsistencies and to verify the contractor license standing. Lastly, references are contacted to offer precise work history and expertise to additional certify that the contractor is prequalified for performing work at that location. Once supplier qualification the prequalification type has been stuffed out, the contractor have to be monitored for compliance, this is a important a part of contractor management.

Now is the time to find out. A new report from Clemson University says 1 in 6 kids is bullied; 35 percent of older kids say they would do it. The research covered 524,054 students at 1,593 schools across the country including grades three through twelve. Anonymously, 17 percent said they are being bullied with almost half of boys and girls saying it has been going on for over a year.
Two recent cases of suicide due to bullying are 18-year-old gay student Tyler Clementi of Rutgers University, and 15-year-old Phoebe Prince from a Massachusetts high school. Kids say they don't believe there are provisions made to protect them. A likely fear since much of the bullying occurs in classrooms in front of teachers.
The time has come for all parents to sit down with their children and determine if they are involved in bullying, whether giving or receiving. It could save your kids life.

Mixed-martial arts fighters Renzo Gracie and his cousin Igor, part of the famed Gracie clan, and five of their pals took no-jail plea deals Thursday in the beating of a doorman outside celebrity hot-spot 1Oak.
Renzo and Igor Gracie, Leonardo Leite, Rafael Barbosa and Carvalho Da Costa copped to misdemeanor assault in exchange for 10 to 15 days of community service. Leonardo DaCosta and Gregor Rangel pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in exchange for 1 to 3 days of community service.

last May 17 and became furious that bouncer Craig Molesphini had turned away two of their friends the previous week and vengefully attacked him, he told the Post.
"All of the seven men were fighting, doing MMA moves on the guards, some of whom were injured," he said. "In my entire 14-year career, I have never seen anything like this."
Renzo, 47, who lives in New Jersey, has a gym in Midtown where he trains top UFC fighters. Igor, 34, has a training gym in New Rochelle.
The defendants couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

Clearwater Sikh community donates thousands to charity after sale of temple
Lumber industry job losses blamed for Sikh community shrinking to just 5 families
The tiny Sikh community in Clearwater, British Columbia has sold its temple and given the $164,000 it made from the sale to local charities.
Narinder Singh Heer, president of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sikh Temple in Clearwater, said the community had shrunk to five families and did not need the space.
Until about 15 years ago, the community had 55 families, he said, adding that the temple opened its doors in 1985.
But Heer said the community dispersed because of job losses in the lumber industry and the younger generation moving out of town to live in bigger cities.
"In the last 10 years, we have only five members, and we're doing only a monthly congregation," Heer said. "We talked about it. Five members can't keep the gurudwara going."
The building, which can hold up to 400 people, was bought by locals for $180,000, he said.
The community donated another $4,000 it had in savings.
They gave $10,000 each to two temples in Kamloops, B.C., and the rest to 19 local charities.
"The money belongs to Clearwater," Heer said of the local donations. "We've been living here since the 1950s and 1960s."
Money to local ammenities
Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell said the temple members' donations will help a number of organizations, such as the local ski hill, the skating club and food bank.
"It's fantastic. It touches so many clubs in our community and so many volunteers have been struggling for so long," he said.
The mayor said he knew about the donations about a month ago but kept it a secret.
"We actually brought about 20 or 30 representatives from these groups into a room and told them nothing about why they were there," he said.
"We introduced Mr. Heer and put them up at the podium and started handing out cheques, and the room just came apart. It was so emotional and grown men were shedding tears. It was amazing."
Blackwell said he's disappointed to see the Sikh community in Clearwater shrinking.
"The minute the Sikh community wants to come back to Clearwater, I'll give the first thousand dollars to start the new temple," he said.

Hey Guys,
Many years ago when I was a teenager I used to roam these forums (same handle) in search for old software! I need everyones help on this one if you wouldn't mind!
I have a old 133mhz packard bell computer that was first computer, given to me as a xmas gift in 1996. It has been through many operating systems over the years while i experiment but now I would like to restore her back to her glory days.
I need Packard Bell Restore and Recovery Diskette 2.3w (mine has failed). I have lurked over the internet and found many other version that will boot the unit and allow me to click restore contents of the hard drive but when it finishes it simple boots and hangs up. I know I can boot it and put a generic win95 on it but i would really like it original!
I would really appreciate this floppy image, and if you remember my handle from ten years ago give me a shout out!
Try PB's official website.
After 15+ years the chances of anyone still having the original diskettes is virtually nil, most people upgrade to W98SE.
ARM Devices the future. Windows have accepted the fact!
If I remember correctly, the original Win95 came on 13 special high capacity floppy discs. My guess is the purpose of the "recovery diskette" is to trigger the reinstall from the recovery partition (or possibly a recovery folder?). If you repartitioned/reformatted several times over the years, the recovery files are most likely long gone.

We're living in the future, lads. No two ways about it.
Sex robots. Robots that can backflip. Robots getting TV slots. Basically a lot of robots, which is pretty much what we expected from the 21st Century, so no harm done there.
With all those genius androids stealing the limelight, the pressure's on us lousy humans to step up to the plate.
Thankfully, after decades of useless inventions like space travel and the internet, we've finally landed on something truly noteworthy.
That's right, stoneless avocados.
To say the stoneless avocado is the best thing since sliced bread is ridiculous. They're clearly more impressive than sliced bread, and by some distance.
The pride of millennials, scourge of the housing market and still-technically-a-fruit-I-guess has obvious benefits, but also carries its downsides, not least that hard fucker slap bang in the middle of it.
But someone's found a way to get rid, with stoneless 'cocktail avocados' landing on these shores.
No need to cut around the stone and lose all that precious avocado residue. No risk of getting 'avocado hand' like an idiot.
No need to wash your hands, either, as the skin's edible too. Yes, you can eat it like a hand fruit if you want.
Marks & Spencer are bringing them to the UK, selling packs for £2 throughout December at selected stores.
And yes, before you ask, they genuinely grow that way. It's not some trick from the shop where they somehow take out the stone and squish it back together.
Once they're gone, they're gone, though. Unless someone finds a way of moving production over here from Spain. Which they will, probably. In fact it's weird that no one's managed it already.

Malkin to PJM: I Would Pick Trump Over Rubio
Author and political columnist Michelle Malkin told PJM she would choose real-estate mogul Donald Trump over Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) because Trump is surrounding himself with particular people she trusts.
Malkin was asked which candidate she thinks is the strongest on immigration issues:
"Unfortunately, Marco Rubio has been the worst. Now, unfortunately in an oversaturated 24/7 sound bite media culture you get coverage of these issues that's half of a centimeter deep, so all you hear about is the 'Gang of 8' amnesty and you get the sense that all we are talking about is allowing 11-30 million people to come out of the shadows – that's not what it is all about. It's not nearly about giving these blank passes to people that are here illegally," she said during an interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
"The 'Gang of 8' was stuffed with some -- many – special-interest payoffs to so many different special interest groups and that's what we get to in the book, the fact that you've got this endless pipeline of alien work permits without anybody pausing to ask, are those worker protections that were build into the H1B law in 1990 actually still in place? No, they have been sabotaged by immigration lawyers and lobbyists who are in those backrooms doing those deals," she added.
Her latest book, Sold Out: How High-Tech Billionaires & Bipartisan Beltway Crapweasels Are Screwing America's Best & Brightest Workers, was released in November 2015.
Malkin said the media is not focusing on the pending I-Squared bill, which Rubio co-sponsored in the Senate. Malkin called it his "second worst" immigration bill. The legislation would triple the number of H1B visas issued in the United States.
She said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has "seen the light" and is now better than Rubio on immigration.
"Only recently did he come around to making the connection between these programs and their effect on workers' wages, not just on the lower end of the scale but we're talking about the best and brightest. These are American-educated American workers in the so-called STEM fields," she said.

The Vision
70 new church plants
Samar Leyte is one of the last unreached regions in the Philippine archipelago. It is home to 3,500,000 people known as the Waray Waray. Translated this means the Nothing Nothing people. Historically this was the departure point for the Spanish treasure ships en route to Mexico, laden with treasures plundered from South East Asia. These ships set sail into a treacherous sea known for its typhoons and many did not make it. The region was also the staging point for the largest naval battle in history between the American and Australian naval forces and the Japanese in World War II.
Set against a backdrop of great geographical beauty of mountains, countless beautiful coral islands, white sandy beaches and endless coconut palms, the poverty is extreme. There is very little work, with the average wage being $2-5 per day. Most Waray Waray live from hand to mouth.
Infrastructure is limited, but improving. The construction of more good roads has provided easy access to many towns without a church. Our target is 70 new church plants in the larger towns in the region. After 6 years, working together with Filipino church planters, we have successfully planted 20 new churches.
Teams play a vital role in achieving the vision. With teams from Australia, America and Singapore we have a strategy of aggressive church planting. The focus is on healing crusades, cell groups and good work projects - all aimed at starting new churches.
The short term goal is 70 new church plants in the Samar-Leyte region. The long term goal is: from our base in Leyte to plant 1000 new churches in four unreached countries in the South East Asia region. We will choose four mega cites and plant one church in each city. Each church will be a mother church with a short-term church-planting school attached, and a vision to plant 250 daughter churches. At this stage the cities will be Bangkok and Tokyo, with another to be chosen at a later date.
