If any place is the cheering section for the latest effort to create a special visa for immigrant entrepreneurs, it's Silicon Valley.
Venture capitalists and valley boosters have been calling for years for the so-called startup visa, which would welcome to the United States immigrants who have bold ideas, financial backers and job openings. The consensus in the valley? It's a no-brainer.
"When you have people from all over the world who want to come and bring money with them and create employment in America, why wouldn't we do it?" says startup visa backer Vivek Wadhwa, the writer and academic with ties to Stanford and Singularity universities. "What's wrong with us?"
The visa push is on again with the recent introduction in Congress of Startup Act 3.0, which includes a section that would grant visas to immigrants who have attracted at least $100,000 in investment and who hire at least two employees in the first year. The pro-visa chatter seems all the more urgent this time because Congress actually seems prepared to do something about immigration this year.
Given the heightened attention to all things immigration, it will be tempting for Silicon Valley power brokers to push for the new visa without getting tangled up in the comprehensive immigration issues that have stalled the startup visa in recent years.
Never mind the farm workers who are looking for a more stable work visa; or the dreamers, who were brought to this country as children; or the 11 million or so undocumented workers who have contributed to the economy for years and are hungry for some sort of path to citizenship. It will be tempting to argue that the startup visa is too important to get bogged down in those other, more controversial causes — too important to our economy and too important to maintaining Silicon Valley's place as the innovation capital of the world.
I get the arguments. In fact, the two paragraphs above pretty much summarize the column I originally planned to write. Then I talked to Emily Lam, who coordinates federal issues for the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. The leadership group, which represents some of the biggest and most prosperous companies in the valley, has been a strong backer of the startup visa. But that's not all. The group is pushing for the visa as part of a much broader immigration reform package — a package that would include a path to citizenship for undocumented people living in the United States.
Lam took me through the political calculus of the immigration debate and in doing so got me thinking beyond the political and economic ramifications of the coming legislative battle. I started to see the moral implications of the debate.
First the politics: Lam points out that Democrats, including President Obama, have said they like the startup visa as long as it's part of a broader, comprehensive solution. Republicans, who are looking to repair years of damage to their relationship with Latino voters, are at least willing to talk about creating a path to citizenship. And both parties are eager to get something done in the wake of exit polls in November that showed voters of both parties favor comprehensive reform.
All of which means, Lam says, that in this case the whole is definitely stronger than the parts.
"We really want the visa done," says Lam, who's worked on immigration issues for a decade. "But we can still join in coalition with labor, with immigrants rights groups, with others. If we link arms, we'll have a better chance of getting this done."
More importantly, this may be the best chance in a long time to achieve real change.
"So many people want it done in some form or fashion, there is a lot of excitement and political will," Lam says. "The politics is lining up with the policy. It just doesn't get better than this in terms of a window of opportunity to pass something this big and this complicated."
Which is how I came around to the moral implications. Yes, this is a chance for Silicon Valley to get its startup visa. But it's also a chance for Silicon Valley power brokers to join voices with those who say undocumented immigrants who have been following the rules and contributing to our prosperity deserve a chance to become full citizens. If a path to citizenship isn't mapped out now, with the political stars aligning, it might be a very long time before the next chance comes along.
No one is saying those who came to the United States illegally should get a free pass. There will no doubt be requirements — for instance fines, waiting periods and demonstrated proficiency in English and U.S. history.
What better place than Silicon Valley to push for a path while looking out for its own interests? Silicon Valley is a place where you go big or go home; a place that won't settle for the moderate approach to the narrow problem when a bold approach to a big problem is possible. Silicon Valley is a place that likes to brag about thinking outside the box.
Now is the time in the immigration debate to put some substance behind the swagger.

Harvard's seven goals in the first half gave the Crimson a five-goal lead that proved too much for Cal Lutheran to overcome. In the third frame, the Crimson outscored the Kings and Regals, 2-1. In the final eight minutes Harvard tacked on one more goal to put the game out of reach.
Rookie Alexis Del Toro paced the Crimson offense with a game-high three goals, while Victoria Frager added two scores. Charlotte Hendrix, Melissa Balding, Zoe Osborne, Michelle Martinelli and Shayna Price all found the back of the net once to round out the offense.
Defensively, Harvard registered a total of 18 steals. Zoe Osborne led the way with five thefts, Frager contributed four and Del Toro added three. In goal, Ariel Dukes tallied six saves.
In the second contest of the day, No. 19 San Diego State flipped the script on the Crimson as the Aztec came away with the win.
Harvard trailed San Diego State by one goal at the end of the first half after each team went scoreless in the second frame.
The third quarter proved to be a defensive battle with each squad scoring two goals. Still trailing by one, the Crimson came out in the fourth with a goal to knot the score at five, but the Aztec buried two quick goals to secure the win.
Balding paced the offense with two goals, while Hendrix, Frager and Price each added one score.
On the defensive side of the ball, Rachel Lobato tallied two steals, while Dukes registered a season-high 13 saves.
The Crimson returns to the pool tomorrow to take on UC San Diego at 12:15 p.m. (EST) and San Jose State at 5:15 p.m. (EST) on the final day of the Aztec Invite.
Harvard 5, No. 19 San Diego State 7

Chou was a member of the foil squad that lost only one bout in its three matches at the Beanpot tournament, going 26-1 combined. (Gil Talbot)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The No.7 women's fencing team swept all three Boston area opponents, MIT, Boston College and Brandeis to claim the 2012 fencing Beanpot title, Tuesday night at the Malkin Athletic Center. The foil division led the way for the Crimson going a combined 25-1 in its three matches.
Harvard led off against the MIT Engineers, as the Crmison got strong returns from its saber and foil fields, going 7-2 and 9-0, respectively. The Engineers battled tough in the epee class, but were edged by the Crimson 5-4. Harvard defeated MIT by a final score of 21-6. Next on tap for Harvard was Boston College. The saber and foil classes again led the way for the Crimson going a combined 15-3 (saber 7-2, foil 8-1). The epee class also got the best of its opponents taking the division 5-4 and helping to topple the Eagles 20-7. In the final matchup of the evening the Crimson would pair up with Brandeis. Harvard dominated in every field only losing three bouts in the match as the epee class went 6-3, while both the saber and foil divisions went a flawless 9-0, to bury the Judges, 24-3.
Harvard will now prepare for the NCAA regionals which will be hosted by Boston College on March 11, 2012. Check back later for individual records and results.

Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village (かくれざとのフシギダネ Bulbasaur's Hidden Village) is the 10th episode of Pokémon: Indigo League.
Going on a wrong path, the heroes spot an Oddish, which Misty nearly captures, if it weren't for a Bulbasaur. Going further, the heroes trigger some traps, which Melanie, a caretaker made to stop the thieves. The thieves include Team Rocket, who appear to get all the Pokémon for themselves. Will the Bulbasaur Ash encountered ignore the tension and help save the village?
Episode Plot
At the start of the episode, Ash, Misty, and Brock are lost and trying to find the path to Vermilion City. Ash and Misty are fighting, only this time they are fighting over who got them lost in the first place.
They stop to rest and Ash notices an Oddish taking a drink from a stream. Misty sends out her Starmie to battle Oddish so she can catch it. Oddish is defeated, but Misty's Poké Ball is deflected by a Bulbasaur. The Bulbasaur attacks and defeats Starmie. Ash sends out his Butterfree after Bulbasaur and uses Sleep Powder, but Bulbasaur blows the attack back at Butterfree. The Oddish and Bulbasaur escape into the bushes.
A little later, the three of them try to cross a rope bridge, but the wind rips it apart. Brock falls into the river below and Misty and Pikachu cling to Ash. Ash pulls them up and they make their way to the end of the bridge. They go down to water level and start looking for Brock. Almost immediately Misty falls into a hole in the ground. Ash pulls her out and they go farther down stream. Misty's foot catches on a rope and Misty, Ash,and Pikachu get stuck in a net. They are found by the same Bulbasaur from before.
Ash starts to think that Brock has been washed to sea and captured by pirates, when Brock appears with a knife and cuts them free. He tells them how he got out of the rapids. He says that he was rescued by an "incredibly beautiful" girl. Brock takes them to a small village and introduces them to the girl, Melanie.
Ash and Misty notice that there are many Pokémon in the village and wonder if they are Melanie's Pokémon. Brock explains that the village is a place for hurt or abandoned Pokémon to come and get better, then they leave. Melanie says that she collects plants to heal the Pokémon with, but she's not a qualified Pokémon doctor. Misty makes fun of Brock for falling in love with Melanie. Brock tells her to be quiet because he's afraid Melanie heard her.
Melanie explains that she set the traps because she wants to protect the hurt Pokémon from Pokémon Trainers. The scene then shifts to Jessie, James and Meowth carefully walking across the bridge. Jessie and James get excited about the Pokémon they can steal while Meowth says that they will cross that bridge when the time comes. Unfortunately for Team Rocket, the rope for the bridge breaks, causing the bridge to slam against the cliff, causing Jessie, James and Meowth to lose their grips on the bridge and fall into the river below.
Brock says that he promised Melanie that they wouldn't catch any Pokémon in the village. Misty agrees saying, "Only bad guys try to catch sick Pokémon." Ash worries if the traps are enough to stop thieves, "You have to be pretty stupid to fall into one of those holes," angering Misty in the process. The scene cuts to Jessie, James, and Meowth as Jessie exclaims, "This is the third hole we've fallen into!" They get out of the hole and get caught in the net almost immediately.
While Brock and Ash are healing a hurt Staryu, Misty apologizes to the Oddish that she tried to catch earlier. Bulbasaur tackles Misty, thinking that Oddish was in danger. Melanie explains that Bulbasaur volunteered to protect the whole village. Ash says that he wishes he had a Pokémon that brave.
Team Rocket appears on top of a floating stadium, dubbed Jessie Stadium by, naturally, Jessie and recite their motto but leaving out their names. Jessie squeals in delight that they are attacking, James comments saying that they have the home field advantage. Jessie, in return, confidently says "No such luck we're the home team now." They land in a clearing close to the village, announce the Team Rocket Pokémon Challenge and they use a giant vacuum to "invite" all the village Pokémon into the stadium. Brock leads everyone into the cabin, but Oddish is caught by the vacuum. Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip to save Oddish. Ash helps by blocking the wind so Bulbasaur can get Oddish to safety, Bulbasaur taking note of this. Jessie complains about Ash's interfering but James mentions that all the Pokémon are in one place. The vacuum is so strong, it starts to pull the roof off the cabin until Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip to stop the roof from flying away. Ash sends out Pidgeotto and tells it to use Gust. The Gust attack, combined with the vacuum's wind, creates a tornado. James cheerfully remarks that the tornado is about to wind up, but a catatonic Jessie utters "But will it strike us out?" Unfortunately for Jessie and crew, the tornado sucks the terrified Team Rocket up and all Jessie, James and Meowth can do is scream while flying around. Meowth wonders what they can do now and Jessie cries "Challenge them to wind surfing?" Meowth yells that Team Rocket is blasting off again as the tornado carries Jessie, James, Meowth and Jessie Stadium away, saving the village and the Pokémon.
Melanie asks Ash to take Bulbasaur with him, the Pokémon are staying too long because Bulbasaur does such a good job of protecting the Pokémon! Bulbasaur agrees to go, but only if Ash battles it. Ash chooses Pikachu to battle Bulbasaur. After both Pokémon exchange hits, Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip on Pikachu and starts tossing Pikachu around. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and it defeats Bulbasaur, letting Ash to catch Bulbasaur. Brock offers to stay and help but Melanie tells him to continue his adventure.

- "Who says we're lost?" - Ash
- "Listen genius, if you don't know where you are or where you're going that means you're lost!" - Misty
- "Try wiggling. See if the net will open." - Misty
- Ash does so.
- "This is dumb." - Ash
- "You got any better ideas let's hear 'em." - Misty
- "Gee I wonder what happened to Brock." - Ash
- "I wonder too." - Misty
- "Maybe the river carried him far away, all the way to the ocean. Then some pirates spotted him and brought him aboard their ship, and one of the pirates has a wooden leg." - Ash
- "You have a crazy imagination." - Misty
- "Kachu." - Pikachu
- "Then came the storm." - Ash
- "Ahoy." - Brock
- "Hey Brock." - Ash
- "Why're you hangin' around up in that tree?" - Brock
- "The girl who saved my life, was incredibly beautiful." - Brock
- "Hmmm, A beautiful girl huh? That's even better than pirates. Unless of course she was really a pirate in disguise." - Ash
- "Maybe it's time to get a reality check." - Misty
- "So you guys really love to take care of Pokémon." - Ash
- "We sure do." - Brock
- Melanie is on screen, back to the group.
- "I bet that's not the only thing you love." - Misty
- "Ahhhh! Be quiet, she might hear you." - Brock
- "I promised Melanie we wouldn't capture any Pokémon here." - Brock
- "And did you seal the promise with a kiss?" - Misty
- Brock hits Misty on the head. The two exchange glares.
- "So that must mean you really do love her." - Misty
- Brock hits her again.
- "This is the third hole we've fallen into! How come nobody ever falls into our traps and we always fall into theirs?" — Jessie
- "Well, this one was cleverly hidden, well made and-" - James
- "I'm glad you're enjoying it so much!" - Jessie
- "And the tornado's winding up." - James
- "But will it strike us out?" - Jessie
- "There goes the whole ball game." - Meowth
- "So what are gonna do now?" - Meowth
- "Challenge them to wind surfing?" - Jessie
- "Uh, Melanie I've been thinking." - Brock
- "Yes?" - Melanie
- "Well since Bulbasaur's leaving I wouldn't mind staying and helping you out." — Brock
- "It's very kind of you but we'll be ok. I wouldn't want to keep you from all your wonderful adventures." - Melanie
- "Yeah, well, I guess you're right." - Brock
- "So what did Melanie say when you said you loved her? Did you kiss her goodbye?" - Misty
- "That's enough stupid questions. Will you please quit embarrassing me already? You know, ok, so she's cute, I understand that but you know-" - Brock
- "Did I miss something? What's going on?" - Ash
- Melanie is voiced by Tara Jayne (Tara Sands).
- The Who's That Pokémon? for this episode is Bulbasaur.
- Rachael Lillis briefly stands in as Pikachu after it crosses the bridge with Ash and Misty, catching its breath with the other two.
- In one scene, James is not wearing gloves when he's holding his rose.
- In one scene, one of Meowth's paws is all white. Also, when it was captured in the net (along with James and Jessie), its ears were orange.
- When Ash and Misty fell down when Brock cut the rope, Ash's gloves were missing.
- After Ash, Misty and Pikachu crossed the bridge, Ash's gloves were discolored.
- When Pikachu used Thunderbolt at Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur's eyes were red bloodshot.
- The Weepinbell in the background is levitating above the ground despite the fact that Weepinbell is not a Flying type.
Dub differences
- In the original after Jessie, James, and Meowth get caught in the net trap, Meowth says that it was time to get serious, whereas in the dub he complains that either Jessie or James should stop pulling his tail.
- Strangely enough, the implication of Team Rocket bringing in their flying stadium was still there in the dub.

Twenty-four years ago David Sandoval was like many of us, working a sedentary job, eating a conventional diet and watching his family members suffer from cancer, diabetes and obesity among other illnesses. He knew he needed a lifestyle change and set out on a relentless mission to find the answers he needed to turn his life around.
After transforming his body and his mindset, David is healthier and younger today than he was twenty-four years ago and he has the biological markers to prove it. David is now a highly sought after lecturer and expert on the healing, anti-aging and power of natural green foods. His singular mission is to share this knowledge and the benefit of his lifetime pursuits with you.
Where it all began20 Years Ago I Was Older Than I am Today
Anti-aging at any age"It doesn't matter how many years you have lived, it matters how many years you have left! For the first time in human history our children will get sicker sooner and die younger than we will. Even with the 'miracle' of western medicine, new pharmaceuticals and space aged medical technologies our collective life expectancy is DOWN. Why? It's because of our sedentary lifestyle and the food that we eat. In fact in some cases it's a stretch to even call it food. So our mission at Purium is simple – we want to help you eat better, age more gracefully and live longer. In other words look, feel and perform like a younger person. We call it 'anti-aging at any age'! Jim Rohn once said, 'Take care of your body, it's the only place you have to live.' I couldn't agree more. If you care about your body, you will use Purium Products. I do, I'm in my 50s but I expect to live another 70 good years."

Keep readingBy Robert Klara|January 28, 2013 Share By Robert Klara|January 28, 2013 Share Most of today's racing fans are too young to remember the days when moonshiners souped up their Chevys and Fords to outrun the cops, their hot pursuits on the back roads giving birth to Nascar in 1948. But there is one thing that fans miss about the old days: Those Chevys and Fords actually looked like Chevys and Fords. In a standardization process culminating in 2007's "Car of Tomorrow," Nascar's cars had evolved to all look the same. Which is why fans stood up and cheered in November when Nascar, popping the clutch in reverse, announced a return to brand-specific body styles. Come the 2013 Sprint Cup Series, the "Gen-6" cars—the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Chevy SS—will look like the models you can buy in showrooms. Says Nascar CMO Steve Phelps: "The idea is to put the 'stock' back into stock-car racing." But the idea goes deeper than that. Nascar's hoping that the Gen-6 cars will rev up both viewers and sponsors. Internal research shows that 80 percent of fans have a favorite auto brand that competes in the races. Now that they can actually see the difference among the cars, "we're confident it'll strengthen the emotional connection," Phelps says. There's just as much riding on the auto-partner and team-sponsor side, too. Phelps believes fans will be more likely to go out and buy the victorious car brands—what he calls the "win on Sunday, sell on Monday" effect. Meanwhile, on the sponsor side, the Gen-6 body style and paint scheme has opened up new real estate for all those brand names and logos whose money puts gas in the tank. Decals will now be allowed to creep past the front edge of the B-post, and for the first time in the racing league's history, the roof is available, too. "Teams now have the opportunity to offer sponsors more prominent placement on the car," Phelps says. Which leads us to the sporty Ford Fusion on the right. How much will a brand sponsor get for its money on the new Gen-6 car?* Well, first, it depends on whether the brand wants a primary or associate sponsorship. After that, here's the breakdown: Infographic by Ricardo Santos and Carlos Monteiro Share http://adweek.it/2jKdMrw copy Adweek Adweek

- Health, agricultural and educational deficiencies

- Low sectoral diversification and energy dependence
- 40% of the workforce in agriculture; dependence on weather and world prices
The economy is expected to slow down...
Activity is set to lose much of its strength in 2019. Although the slowdown appears moderate, given the increase in population (2% per year), it is worse per capita of inhabitant. Household consumption (82% of GDP) will lose its economic momentum, but given its weight, will remain the main contributor to growth. The strength of expatriate remittances, which are benefiting from the favourable economic situation in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (62% of the total) and the depreciation of the rupee, will be offset by the tightening of economic policy, particularly monetary policy (key rate increased from 5.75 to 7.5% between January and July 2018). The latter is aimed both at moderating demand and inflationary pressures resulting from the rise in energy prices and the depreciation of the rupee, as well as reducing pressures on the rupee. With their considerable weight in consumption, the deceleration of imports, which should result from the depreciation of the rupee and a further increase in customs duties, will work in the same direction. For the same reasons, investment (15% of GDP), already constrained by a poor business environment and infrastructure, is also expected to slow. This would also include investment in transport and electricity supply infrastructure through the Economic Corridor (CEPC) between Chinese Xinjiang and the port of Gwadar (southwest Pakistan). Services (58% of GDP) with trade, industry (19%), particularly mining, textiles, metallurgy, and agriculture (23% of GDP), with sugar cane, cotton, rice and wheat, will be affected by the lower availability of imported intermediate and consumer products.
... in order to reduce fiscal and external imbalances
Following the most recent agreement with the IMF at the end of 2016, the fiscal situation deteriorated. This is due to a less sustained increase in budgetary revenues due to the decline in household taxation, combined with an increase in expenditure before the 2018 parliamentary elections. With increased financing constraints, both domestic and external, the new government has planned to initiate a recovery. In September 2018, it raised the average gas price by 35% (which varies according to the sector), in order to bring it closer to the cost of the resource. Public debt – 70% domestic and denominated in local currency, despite increased recourse to external financing – has increased significantly and will continue to rely on the central bank and other banks, to the detriment of credit to private companies.
The current account deficit increased in 2017-2018 due to the widening trade deficit. It should decrease with the recovery of exports, in line with the devaluation of the rupee and better electricity supply, and with the deceleration of imports – if the price of oil does not slip. The trade deficit (10% of GDP in 2018) will remain the main contributor to the imbalance. It is explained by the low level of exports (8.5% of GDP), more than half of which are textile products (household linen, clothing, cotton yarn), with the rest being comprised of comprising agricultural products (sugar, rice) and some manufactured goods. Competition from neighbouring countries in textiles is exacerbated by the overvaluation of the real effective exchange rate, despite the fact that the central bank allowed the rupee to depreciate by 16% against the US dollar between January and July 2018. This is in addition to import pressure resulting from domestic demand exceeding growth potential. Remittances from expatriates (7% of GDP) partially offset the trade deficit. The remaining deficit, as well as that related to services and payments of dividends and interests, is financed by the increasing use of debt with China and Saudi Arabia (USD 6 billion loan in October 2018) and, secondarily, on the markets, as well as by a draw on reserves (which fell to 1.7 months of imports in June 2018). However, external debt, 80% of which is owed by the public sector, still represents only 30% of GDP, and is largely at concessional rates. FDI is minimal, with most of the investments in the CEPC being financed by Chinese loans. The new government plans to conclude a new financing agreement with the IMF and to associate Saudi Arabia with the CEPC in order to ease external accounts.
A democratic transition that does not end insecurity
Despite a campaign punctuated by terrorist acts led by the Taliban, the July 2018 parliamentary elections were the second democratic transition of power since 1947. With 116 deputies out of 270, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-insaf or Justice Party (PTI) became the leading political force, ahead of the Muslim League of Pakistan (PML-N, 64 seats) and the Popular Party (43 seats). With the support of members of small parties or independents, Prime Minister Imran Khan must rely on provinces (3 out of 4, including Punjab and Sindh) led by the opposition. The General Staff will keep control of foreign policy and security.
The rapprochement with India will remain difficult due to Kashmir. China will remain the main economic partner with the development of the Sino-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The relationship with the United States, often stormy on Afghanistan and terrorism, will remain marked by military cooperation.

The Assault Weapons Ban: How Silly Was It? (Part Two)
The Washington Post, May 23, 2011:
On March 30, the 30th anniversary of the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, Jim Brady, who sustained a debilitating head wound in the attack, and his wife, Sarah, came to Capitol Hill to push for a ban on the controversial "large magazines." Brady, for whom the law requiring background checks on handgun purchasers is named, then met with White House press secretary Jay Carney. During the meeting, President Obama dropped in and, according to Sarah Brady, brought up the issue of gun control: "to fill us in that it was very much on his agenda," she said.
"I just want you to know that we are working on it," Brady recalled the president telling them. "We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar."
In every practical respect, the firearms-related provisions of the "assault weapons ban" were an objective failure. But absurd restrictions on firearms weren't the only part of that legislation that passed only to succumb to an outcome quite different than it's anti-gun progenitors had in mind.
Along with creating the term "assault weapon," this Clinton-era law also created the similarly arbitrary term "high-capacity magazine."
A detachable magazine is a container that holds cartridges for a given firearm, and the number of cartridges typically varied with the size and the purpose of the weapon at hand and the size of the cartridge it fired. Small turn-of-the-century handguns typically carried magazines of just 6-7 cartridges. The standard magazine capacity of many pistols that became popular in the 1980s was 15 rounds or more. The standard capacity of military grade rifles and carbines was 20-30 rounds. As time progressed, firearm designers were finding ways to put a larger number of cartridges in the magazines of their weapons.
When legislators decided that the "assault weapons ban" should also include a restriction on the number of cartridges that any given magazine could hold, they declared that any magazine that held a greater amount of cartridges was a "high capacity" magazine. It didn't matter to them that many of the firearms in question had as their standard capacity magazines with round counts from 13-30 rounds or more, or that some of these firearms had had such a capacity since before the congressmen and congresswomen writing the law were born.
Congress arbitrarily decided that 10 rounds was "enough" for American citizens, and included provisions that once the law went into effect, any magazine manufactured after the date the law went into effect that had more than ten rounds would be illegal for anything other than law enforcement use.
Like the firearms provisions of the bill, these magazine provisions also had unintended consequences.
As it turns out, firearms magazines are both typically very robust and reliable in design, and incredibly easy to mass manufacture. Once made, they last indefinitely.
Between the time Congress started signaling that they would create a magazine capacity restriction and the implementation of the law, factories worked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week churning out millions of nothing but high-capacity magazines, which were stockpiled by manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers in massive warehouses.
As a result, "high capacity magazines" for most common firearms were freely available throughout the life of the ban. As e-commerce came into early maturity during this time period, many high-capacity magazines were more available than they had been before the ban was signed into law.
Congress had neglected to make the possession or sale of high-capacity magazines illegal, and only outlawed the manufacture of new magazines.

Thriveon Expands Cloud Capabilities With ULTRASTOR®
Minnesota's Leading IT Service Provider Selects ULTRASTOR SAN Storage for Growing Cloud Market and Gains Added Reliability in The Process
Founded in 2002, Thriveon is Minnesota's leading IT business services provider and one of the fastest growing Cloud solutions provider. Thriveon offers complete business solutions from managed services, disaster recovery, VOIP systems, support and Cloud-based technology solutions for small to medium-sized businesses.
The Challenge
When a leading IT service provider experienced significant growth in their Cloud service offerings, it presented considerable challenges on their hardware infrastructure. Issues revolved around the efficiency of their existing storage, the cost of adding more of the same and the ability to find a solution that could integrate with their existing infrastructure.
Adding to the problem, Thriveon needed to fast track deployment to meet the growing demand for Cloud-based services. "We were running a large number of VM host and were running into growth limitations. The amount of VM guests on a host was limited to a small number and the ability to grow was becoming a problem" noted Bloedow.
Thriveon's infrastructure is comprised of high performance server hardware running a virtual environment that provides customers with customized computing solutions such as Exchange servers, SQL and terminal servers. The chosen storage solution would need to address the critical nature of Thriveon's services and the resulting impact to clientele who rely on Thriveon's IT infrastructure for business continuity. Data availability and hardware redundancy would play an important role in the final decision.
"It was getting expensive to always have to spin up new VM host and drive spacing was constantly an issue. We needed a solution that allowed for rapid growth at a low price, but yet was a rock solid solution."Jake Bloedow Network Systems Administrator, Thriveon
The Solution
After researching a number of solutions, Thriveon selected Enhance Technology's ULTRASTOR ES3160P4D iSCSI-SAN platform. The ES3160P4D is a hardware-based, high availability IP SAN that features a modular system design and redundant storage controllers for maximum data availability. Eight 1GbE iSCSI data ports allowed for multiple host server connections and provided Thriveon with highly scalable and flexible centralized SAN.
The ULTRASTOR ES3160P4D iSCSI-SAN platform is completely VMware certified which gave Thriveon the confidence to adopt the ULTRASTOR ES platform as the primary storage system for their cloud environment. The ES3160P4D connects to multiple servers through Thriveon's network infrastructure, which makes provisioning storage to new servers happen instantaneously. The ULTRASTOR management interface simplifies the administration process, allowing Thriveon's IT staff to focus on the needs of their customers.
The top factors in selecting Enhance Technology were cost and versatility according to Jake Bloedow. "The price compared to our other vendors was the biggest deciding factor. The price was so reasonable for the quality of the device and features we received. We currently have one controller setup as a 16 TB offsite data store and the second controller is connected to two VMware hosts that are each running between 6 to 8 VM guests"
Performance, Reliability and Features
The ULTRASTOR ES3160P4D is a dual controller, Active-Active, iSCSI SAN storage solution designed for high data availability and 24/7 operation. Featuring eight 1GbE iSCSI data ports, users can attach the ES3160P4D to multiple servers to ensure data accessibility with high-performance and full iSCSI bandwidth. In addition to the ES3160P4D's dual RAID controllers and I/O modules, the dual redundant power supplies and cooling modules are hot-swappable and are easily field-replaceable, providing the ultimate redundancy and reliability for mission critical and data intensive applications to meet storage requirements across the most demanding environments.
"Our ULTRASTOR ES3160P4D SAN has been amazing! Our Enhance SAN has been running in live production for almost a year now without a glitch or downtime. Enhance Technology has allowed us to rapidly grow out our data center at a lower cost while still being able to provide customers with the most reliable service."Jake Bloedow Network Systems Administrator, Thriveon

Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. Signs $50 Million Loan Agreement With HealthCare Royalty Partners
NOVATO, Calif., Dec. 20, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. ("Raptor" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:RPTP), today announced that it has signed a $50 million loan agreement with HealthCare Royalty Partners ("HC Royalty") to help fund the commercialization of PROCYSBI™, the branded name of RP103 for the potential treatment of nephropathic cystinosis, and advance the Company's development programs.
Under the terms of the agreement, Raptor will receive $25 million (the "First Tranche Loan") at closing and an additional $25 million (the "Second Tranche Loan") upon U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of PROCYSBI. The First Tranche and Second Tranche Loans, which mature on December 31, 2019, bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 10.75% and a Synthetic Royalty® variable rate, tiered down, based on a percentage of future PROCYSBI sales. The loan is interest-only for the first two years.
"This loan agreement with HC Royalty further validates the growing value of PROCYSBI and Raptor's pipeline. We believe that the proceeds of this financing will provide us with the necessary capital to fund our activities through FDA approval of PROCYSBI, based on our current assumptions for the timing of a potential FDA approval of PROCYSBI, as well as to fund our plans to launch PROCYSBI in the U.S., if approved by the FDA," stated Christopher Starr, Raptor's CEO. "At closing of the first Tranche we will have over $55 million in cash on our balance sheet, with an additional $25 million to be funded under the Second Tranche Loan upon FDA approval of PROCYSBI."
"There is significant unmet market need for a more tolerable cystinosis treatment with a less burdensome dosing schedule and we believe PROCYSBI will fill that need for patients once it is approved by the FDA," commented Clarke B. Futch, Founding Managing Director at HC Royalty. "We are pleased to partner with Raptor to help fund the commercialization of this important orphan drug."
About Cystinosis and RP103
Cystinosis is a rare, life-threatening metabolic disorder that causes systemic toxic cystine accumulation. Toxic cystine accumulation leads to progressive and irreversible tissue damage and multi-organ failure including renal failure, blindness, CNS damage, respiratory deficiencies, muscle wasting, and premature death. Cystinosis is usually diagnosed in the first years of life and requires lifelong therapy. Left untreated, the disease is fatal by the end of the first decade of life. Daily cystine depletion is the primary treatment strategy for cystinosis. Despite a life-long requirement for cystine-depleting agent use to help preserve multi-organ function, a cumulative inability to maintain adequate cystine control results in the rapid deterioration of kidney function and ensuing need for kidney transplantation.
RP103 is an oral, delayed and extended-release medication containing enteric-coated spheronized micro-beads of cysteamine bitartrate. PROCYSBI is the branded name of RP103 for the potential treatment of cystinosis. The New Drug Application and Marketing Authorization Application for RP103 for the potential treatment of nephropathic cystinosis have been submitted to the FDA and the European Medicines Agency, respectively, and the NDA has been assigned a PDUFA date of January 30, 2013. RP103 is also in clinical development for the potential treatment of Huntington's disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ("NASH"). In cystinosis patients, RP103 may reduce cellular toxicity by continuously removing cystine from the lysosome. RP103, which can also cross the blood-brain barrier, was engineered specifically to allow release of cysteamine bitartrate micro-spheres in the duodenum for optimal absorption while simultaneously enabling administration every 12-hours for the potential treatment of cystinosis.
Leerink Swann, LLC and Cowen & Company, LLC served as co-financial advisors and placement agents to Raptor in connection with the financing.
About Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp.
Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. (Nasdaq:RPTP) ("Raptor") seeks to research, develop, and provide access to medicines that improve life for patients with severe and rare disorders. Raptor currently has product candidates in clinical development designed to potentially treat nephropathic cystinosis, Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis, Huntington's Disease, and aldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency.
Raptor's preclinical programs are based upon bioengineered novel drug candidates and drug-targeting platforms derived from the human receptor-associated protein and related proteins that are designed to target cancer and infectious diseases.

Hello Y'all!
Got these two revos this summer, they are both pretty much bone stock, though I'm building a custom roll cage for one of them. The blue one is a later 5309 model with the 2.4ghz radio, while the red one is an earlier version with the standard 27mhz radio.
Sorry for the bad quality (cell phone pics), will probably get some better photos later =)
Me n the boys.

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 3: Working on the Abraham Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial
The Lincoln Memorial was planned as the anchor for a western extension of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., built on land reclaimed from the Potomac River. For this important location, French's good friend Henry Bacon designed a huge, white marble temple. From the beginning, Bacon's plans called for a statue of Lincoln to be displayed within the temple, and he wanted that statue to be the work of Daniel Chester French. After some delay, French did receive the commission and began work on the Abraham Lincoln. The first step was to prepare a "maquette." This small, three-dimensional, clay sketch, about 7 inches high, showed French's proposed design for the project. "It should interest you to know," wrote French to Bacon in mid-1915, "that I am making sketch models for the statue of Lincoln. At present I am feeling very much encouraged, but I am suspicious of my enthusiasms."¹ By the end of October his first model was finished. He modeled the head on photographs and on the death mask made after Lincoln's assassination. Worried about the hands on the arms of the chair, he studied photographs to see how Lincoln usually placed his hands. French even made casts of his own hands for reference.
After the concept was approved, he created a larger working model, also in clay. This was used to work out the positioning of the figure and the selection of appropriate clothing, drapery, or other ornamentation. French also created a half-sized model, which was used to decide on surface treatments and small details. These models were enlarged by French's assistants. As the scale of the models increased, the forms were refined and adjusted; what might seem to be an insignificant detail in the sketch might be a problem that needed to be corrected when the sculpture was enlarged to many times its original size. The half size model was enlarged to full size by professional stone carvers, but French himself took care of the finishing touches. French worked on the project for nine years. When the Lincoln Memorial was dedicated in 1922, he was 72 years old.
Throughout his work on the Lincoln statue, French worried that the size of Bacon's building would overwhelm anything but a massive sculpture. The eight-foot-high model that he brought to Washington to test was dwarfed. He had gigantic photographs made--14 to 18 feet high--and put together on wooden frameworks. Each photograph was set up in turn. Only the largest seemed appropriate for the space. From the originally projected 10 feet, the completed statue grew to 19 feet, placed on a base 11 feet tall.
French turned to the six Piccirilli brothers in New York City for the carving of the final, monumental figure. He had worked with them before and knew that they would make sure that the finished statue replicated his model exactly. French was abroad when the statue was installed in the Lincoln Memorial, but upon his return he hurried to see it. He was nervous; this statue was perhaps the most important of his long career. He wrote, "I was very much relieved to see that it was not too large for its surroundings. I got into rather a panic about this for it didn't seem that a statue that large could fit into any place without being too colossal."²
French was, however, horrified at the effect of the lighting on the statue. Changes to the skylights had eliminated shadows that were essential to French's design, transforming Lincoln's expression into a blank stare. The lighting was still not right when the Lincoln Memorial was officially dedicated on Memorial Day, 1922. The dignitaries and the public did not notice. They found the building and the figure magnificent. The lighting problem was not solved until 1926, when floodlights were installed to shine down on the statue from above.³ French was finally satisfied with his work.
Widely acclaimed when it was first installed, the Abraham Lincoln has awed visitors ever since. French's daughter told a story about one special visitor. French was standing in the shadows of the east chamber one evening working on the lighting. He saw a limousine draw up in front of the memorial. With effort, an old man emerged from the vehicle and, with his head bent, slowly made his way up the steps. As he approached the statue he took off his hat and, resting on his cane, sank slowly to his knees. For a long time he remained kneeling, his head bowed, as if recalling memories that others had forgotten. Then Robert Todd Lincoln, the 83-year-old son of Abraham Lincoln, rose, walked down the steps, and disappeared into the night.4
Questions for Reading 3
1. What is a "maquette"? How was it useful for the sculptor, for the client?
2. Why do you think the sculptor made models of his work in so many different sizes? Which of them do you think could be considered an "original"?
3. What did French do to ensure that the Abraham Lincoln was an accurate portrayal? Do you think these steps were necessary? Why or why not?
4. How do you think French might have felt as he watched Lincoln's son kneel before the statue of his father?

In a presidential election where the nation's 104 million female voters will be a much-wooed bloc, NARAL Pro-Choice America has narrowed its top targets to just more than 300,000 women in 25 swing counties.
The pro-abortion-rights lobby says these women support abortion rights and voted for President Barack Obama four years ago but have defected because the economy and other issues.
NARAL wants them back.
In an example of extreme microtargeting, the group plans to spend $2.5 million to $3 million in a new independent expenditure effort that it will launch next month.
The persuasion will come in the form of 1.2 million pieces of mail, live phone calls from volunteers and advertising on social media and cable TV.
"We think these 25 counties are the ones that are going to decide this election," NARAL Political Director Elizabeth Shipp said during a press briefing Wednesday. The counties include Fairfax and Loudoun in Virginia; Adams and Denver in Colorado; Cuyahoga and Franklin in Ohio; and Hillsborough and Pinellas in Florida.
Shipp added that the "Obama defectors," as NARAL has dubbed its targets, "can come back to the fold" for the president on the issue of abortion.
Obama says he supports abortion rights, while GOP candidate Mitt Romney labels himself as anti-abortion.
NARAL President Nancy Keenan said her organization's "new and vigorous model" identifying these female voters could very well help get Obama re-elected. "Our job is to communicate with these voters about why they need to vote for [Obama]," she said.
But NARAL, of course, will not be alone in these battleground states.
Former Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-Colo.), who is vice president of government affairs for the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List, said she just wrapped up a bus tour through five states and 30 cities.
Her organization, like others that oppose abortion rights, plans to target voters, especially women in swing states.
"We are going to beat the drum," she said. "We're doing bus tours, radio and TV ads in the battleground states where we know it can make all the difference."
Musgrave said her effort is about highlighting Obama's "extreme" position on abortion, including on sex-selection abortions.
"I'm out there talking about Obamacare, the largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade," the former Congresswoman said.
On NARAL's campaign, Keenan said her organization worked with Democratic polling firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research to identify 5.1 million women nationwide who are most likely to be Obama defectors who support abortion rights. That population was whittled down to 1.2 million women in nine battleground states including Ohio, Colorado and Florida. The group then went even further, identifying about 338,000 women who lived in what were considered key swing counties. NARAL plans to use 60,000 of those women as a control group to see whether its messaging was effective, Shipp said. Those 60,000 will not receive the calls or mailings from NARAL.
GQRR Vice President Drew Lieberman called the NARAL effort efficient, strategic and unique.
"It puts them in a position to have a really meaningful impact on this election," he said.
NARAL plans to share its list - which is based on survey and consumer data - with other progressive organizations and the campaigns of candidates who back abortion rights.
Other women and abortion-rights groups have undertaken similar efforts. EMILY's List, for example, announced on Tuesday an effort to target women in New Hampshire as part of its WOMEN VOTE! campaign. That focuses on Congressional races in the Granite State, according to a press release.
And Planned Parenthood recently began airing ads against Romney in battleground states. The spots, worth more than $3 million, say the GOP candidate would turn back the clock on women's health.
NARAL's political action committee also is on pace to spend about $750,000 this cycle, Shipp said.
The group received an influx of cash this year after Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) made comments about women who are victims of "legitimate" rape not needing abortions because their bodies don't allow a pregnancy to occur. Akin later apologized.
Musgrave said her side is energized, too, and is drawing on the polling of anti-
abortion organizations showing that most women think there should be a ban on abortions based on what the gender of the child will be and those done late in a pregnancy.
"I live in Colorado, and this last election after candidate Obama said he wanted to find common ground on the issue, I'd be driving down I-25 and see a pro-life sticker and an Obama sticker on the same car," Musgrave said. "We are doing everything we can to make sure they know this president did anything but find common ground on the issue."

Previously Reported:
Penn State's coaching search may not go on much longer.
Two sources close to Penn State's program confirmed to The Times-Tribune late Wednesday night that Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin was offered the head coaching position during an hours-long meeting with the university's search committee in Destin, Fla. Both sources, who spoke on conditions of anonymity because no official announcement had been made, said Franklin is expected to either accept or reject the job today.
The slick Commodores coach, who guided the longtime SEC doormats to a second consecutive nine-win season for the first time in history this past season, began the day with reported plans to interview with the Washington Redskins for their head coaching vacancy. By nightfall, ESPN had reported that Franklin would not be interviewing with Washington or any other NFL franchise, and that next season, he'd be coaching either Vanderbilt or Penn State.
It didn't appear, however, like his current employer was going to allow Franklin to leave for Penn State without something to consider.
Vanderbilt athletic director David Williams told Nashville radio station 104.5 FM Wednesday afternoon that he has spoken with Franklin about staying on with the Commodores in the wake of the news he'd accept the Penn State offer. Williams wouldn't confirm speculation that he offered the man he called "the best college football coach in America" more money, improved facilities or a bigger financial commitment to the program to stay.
But he had no qualms about saying how far he'd go to ensure Franklin continues on the Commodores' sidelines.
"I'd shave my head (to keep Franklin)," Williams said, "and I'd give him the money I saved going to the barber shop." Despite the late meeting and job offer to Franklin, another day passed without a hire, a day after athletic director Dr. David Joyner reiterated his opinion from late last week that the search for the 16th Nittany Lions coach is "robust" and should be over in a matter of days.
Scranton native Mike Munchak waited for word on whether his interview Sunday would lead to an offer. But all that came of Wednesday for him was an interview with the Detroit Lions for their head coaching job, according to The Tennessean. Sources say that, if neither the Nittany Lions or Lions work out, Munchak will gain plenty of interest from teams around the NFL who are searching for offensive line coaches, including the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Meanwhile, CBS reported the search committee interviewed San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman on Monday.
The longtime offensive coordinator for head coach Jim Harbaugh at Stanford and in San Francisco, Roman is preparing the 49ers for their NFC Division Playoff meeting with the Panthers in Carolina on Sunday. Roman expressed interest in the job in 2011, when the search committee ultimately gave it to O'Brien.

1 Everton manager enjoys a better day than his last visit
Roberto Martínez's previous visit to the Emirates Stadium prompted heartbreak when he was relegated with Wigan Athletic , days after winning the FA Cup. The descent from that high point served to magnify the emotions. Martínez is more serene at present and little wonder. His team have a good balance. There is cocky youth and experience, defensive steel and attacking thrust. They are proving a match for anyone and, after the win at Manchester United, here was further evidence of their character. Martínez could talk about getting "rid of a mental block". They refused to be cowed by Mesut Özil's goal and it would have been rough justice had they departed empty-handed. No Premier League team have lost fewer games.
2 Wenger in a funk over display and challenges
Arsène Wenger wore his sleeping-bag coat and he was first sighted in that great flap of his in the 34th minute. He could not be happy at the way his team performed in the first half, a late flurry apart, and, although they were more coherent in the second, this represented an opportunity missed to extend their advantage at the top. Wenger was clearly unhappy at some of Everton's challenges when his players had broken free from their pressing but he could also lament his team's lack of care on the ball, the absence of cutting edge in front of goal and, most irritatingly from his perspective, the lapse that allowed the Everton substitute Gerard Deulofeu to crash home the equaliser. Kieran Gibbs did not get close enough to the young Spaniard. Wenger complained that Romelu Lukaku ought to have been penalised for a high boot in the build-up but that did not excuse Gibbs.
3 Barkley shines in front of Hodgson
It is remarkable to think that Barkley turned 20 only last Thursday. The midfielder has been given great responsibility by Martínez as the team's No10 and his maturity from the first whistle was eye-catching. Popping up between the lines, he drove at the Arsenal back-line and, when Gary Lineker tweeted that Barkley had "a bit of Gazza about him", nobody was arguing. There were plenty of lovely moments from him, including the turn that, in the blink of an eye, took Santi Cazorla and Özil out of the game. There was zip and urgency to his passing and explosiveness to his acceleration. His touch was cloaked in velvet. The flick for Steven Pienaar early in the second half almost led to the breakthrough and later his rasping shot forced Wojciech Szczesny into a fine save. The watching England manager, Roy Hodgson, cannot fail to have been impressed from his seat in the stands.
4 Mertesacker and Koscielny stand tall
There was a time, not long ago, when the sight of an imposing centre-forward would have induced wobbles in the Arsenal defence. Didier Drogba, in particular, delighted in bullying the club's centre-halves. Things are different these days. The development of Per Mertesacker's partnership with Laurent Koscielny has brought assurance and Romelu Lukaku, Everton's battering ram of a No9, got no change out of them over 90 minutes. Mertesacker set the tone with a muscular challenge on him in the opening exchanges and, having dominated against Nemanja Vidic and United last Wednesday, Lukaku was largely peripheral. Arsenal's central defensive steel was the biggest positive, although Szczesny and Olivier Giroud also emerged with credit.
5 Barry makes his mark in rematch with Özil
Gareth Barry has been pilloried for one lapse in one international match and he was reunited with his tormentor here. The manner in which he allowed Özil to outstrip him for Germany, during England's World Cup last 16 defeat in South Africa, has been seared on to the collective conscience. It is unfair to remember Barry's England career for that and the manner in which he has found new life at Everton this season, on loan from Manchester City, has been impressive. The holding midfielder seemed determined to leave his mark on Özil, clattering him twice in the first half, and he was booked on the second occasion. Barry read the game well, offering protection against Arsenal's counters, while he was central to much of Everton's possession. He is still to taste Premier League defeat in Everton's colours, having been ineligible for the one game that they lost to City.

The Periodic Table is one of the most iconic — and useful! — pieces of data organisation to ever exist. Here's everything you need to know about it, from its history to how to use it, in just 11 minutes.
First published by Dmitri Mendeleev way back in 1869, the table is just as useful today as it was then. It's quite amazing: it neatly captures recurring trends among elements, which allows scientists to predict relationships between them and forecast the properties of new ones. And that's quite impressive considering that Mendeleev didn't know about all the elements when he invented it. [YouTube]

include the latest version of software including Add-A-Gauge and XGauge.
The ScanGauge requires the vehicle to be
either OBDII or EOBD compatible. In the US and Canada, cars and light
trucks were required to be OBDII compatible starting in 1996. In Europe,
EOBD was phased in between 2002 and 2004. Other parts of the world have
required one of them starting in various years.
Many vehicles made and/or sold outside
the US and Canada had one of the protocols before they were required in
that country. This was to allow sales to other countries and because
they knew they would eventually be required to meet the requirements and
designed it in when they redesigned a particular model.

With today's gas prices its more
important than ever to have the best fuel economy possible while driving your
truck or
suv. There are many products available which claim to increase economy but
it's difficult to gauge just how much they help. ModBargains.com sells the
Scangauge II at a great price and this device will help you know how much a
modification helps, and will also help to determine how changes in your driving
habits impact fuel economy. I purchased 2 of the units – one for my truck and
one for my wife's minivan. If you choose you can purchase additional cables and
use the Scangauge II in multiple vehicles, but I opted for 2 of them because I
didn't want to have to reprogram engine size and tank size each time I moved it
to another vehicle.
In addition to this, the Scangauge
II product lets you track fuel costs and fuel usage, the ability to view 4
virtual gauges at once and read/clear OBDII diagnostic codes. It's a universal
device and works with most OBDII and CAN compatible vehicles. This includes all
1996 and newer light duty Ford
trucks and
suvs, 1994 and newer 7.3L, 6.0L and 6.4L Powerstroke diesels, and 1999 and
newer gas powered Ford Super Duty trucks and Excursion.
Installation is easy. Simply plug
the device into the OBDII connector located under the driver's side dash panel
and then mount the gauge in a handy location. Do not locate it on or near
air-bag surfaces! The Scangauge II is light and comes with a Velcro mount so you
can mount it just about anywhere (the "Blendmount", also available from
ModBargains.com, allows you to permanently mount it above the rear view mirror).
For my tests article I didn't mount it but instead I had someone hold it and
take photos while I drove. My plans are to fabricate a custom mount in my
ashtray area in the near future.
Once plugged in you set it up by
turning on the ignition, entering your engine size, fuel tank size, fuel type
and units of measure such as gallons or liters. That's it!
The main screen offers 4
One of the options recommended is
to adjust the mileage reading using a GPS unit or highway mile markers. This
helps the unit correct for any errors in the factory odometer (most are slightly
off) and allows the Scangauge II to display more accurate information about fuel
Using The
Scangauge II To Increase Fuel Economy
This is where it gets interesting.
For this test I ran the truck like I normally do for a day with the Scangauge II
hidden from view so it wouldn't impact my driving habits. I averaged about 7.1
mpg city and 13.5 mpg highway. Roush's EPA estimates for a Roush supercharged
F150 is 8 mpg city and 11 mpg highway - yeah, its that bad! The Scangauge II
has already proved itself to be useful because I now know for certain that the
custom tuning done to the truck is not only improving power but its also
slightly more efficient than Roush's standard tune on the highway, and it
indicates I may driving a bit too aggressively during city driving. With a few
changes to driving habits the economy improvements were substantial. Read on….
I selected the gauges display and
selected throttle position sensor, real-time mpg, miles per hour and fuel usage.
Over the course of 2 days, using the Scangauge II as feedback on the same route
I changed my driving habits the following ways:
How much did my mileage improve? I
averaged 13 mpg city and 17.4 mpg highway. That's very good for any 4x4 F150
Supercrew… its excellent for one that is supercharged. The Scangauge II has made
a believer out of me. I'm sure with a little more time I can squeeze even more
economy out of it while still enjoying the extra power the supercharger adds.
Check out ModBargains.com to get one --- they have great prices, know the
product well and I received timely support from their salesman Alon and his
support made the purchase decision easy for me. If your experience with the
Scangauge II and ModBargains is anything like mine you won't be disappointed.

Adopt a Florida Panther
The Florida panther is a subspecies of cougar, a large cat also known as the puma or mountain lion. Originally the widest ranging mammal in the Western hemisphere, the species was present throughout most of North America and South America. By the 20th century, the U.S. cougar was restricted primarily to the mountains of the West and southern Florida in the East. The animals had been wiped out of most of their range by uncontrolled hunting and habitat loss. Special recovery efforts have helped the Florida panther population grow from 30 to 70 animals today. However, habitat loss continues to be a serious threat. NWF is working to ensure that cougar habitat in Florida is protected and we need your help. Adopt a Florida panther today!

There are a lot of users that don't realize that Real Studio has a debugger- and it's very easy to use!
Let's say that you want to track down a bug in your code and you know that the problem occurs when you push the Show Me button on a window. In your project you would go to the action event of the Show Me button and set a breakpoint next to one of the lines of code as shown below by the red dot (click on the hash mark to set the breakpoint):
Then, to debug the code:
1. Press the Run button
2. Enter any necessary values into the UI
3. Press the Show Me button
You will see debugger pane on the right (this shows the result after pressing the Step button several times):
That's all there is to it. Using the debugger you will have a much easier time locating and fixing problems in your code. For more details on how to use the Real Studio debugger visit "Debugging Your Code" in our Documentation Wiki.
