Shimano Dura-Ace WH-9000-C24-TL Tubeless Clincher WheelsetIf the Dura-Ace WH-9000-C24-TL wheelset was good enough for Team Sky in the 2012 edition of the Tour de France (and it was, BTW), you can be darn sure it's good to go for any kind of riding you and I are likely to subject it to. With a totally new design, a new hub and a tubeless-compatible rim, Shimano's 9000-series wheels feature a hybrid carbon/aluminum rim that sets new standards for stiffness and light weight. Whether you run tubeless-ready tires or standard clinchers and tubes, you'll find that the wider 20.8-inch rim profile with its larger contact patch gives you a lot more control in the corners. Yeah, we know deep profile wheels are cool, but the low-profile 24mm deep rims of the 9000 TL have a whole lot going for them, including incredible stiffness, fast spin-up, great handling in cross winds and a lighter weight that you'll really appreciate when the road turns upwards.
Shimano's 9000 Dura-Ace hub feature oversized alloy axles for extra rigidity, a stiffness-enhancing, wide flange rear hub, smooth-rolling angular contact ball bearings and a tool-free adjustment system that makes dialing in optimal performance easier than ever. The Dura-Ace WH-9000-C24-TL wheelset is laced with 16 spokes in the front (radially laced), and 20 rear (laced 2x).
- Tubeless alloy/carbon hybrid rim
- Aerodynamic 24mm tubeless rim
- 8/9/10/11-speed compatible freehub
- Labyrinth double contact sealing
- Borozon-treated bearing races
- Cold -forged and machined aluminum hub shell
- Oversized A7075 alloy axle

Right to Manage: The Outcome (Part 5)
March 21, 2011
Early last year we started the Right to Manage process for a scheme where Young London manage all the privately rented units, with the remainder occupied by the owners.
The freehold is owned by The Consensus Group (part of the Vincent Tchenguiz empire).
On completion in summer 2008, County Estates (one of the Peverel/Consensus Group companies) was appointed to be the managing agents. As we had a good relationship with the developer we tended to deal with
the developer for a year of so post completion rather than County Estates when there were any issues to deal with.

Skip to comments.(German Chancellor) Merkel: Get used to mosques
Posted on 09/19/2010 2:26:57 PM PDT by Nachum
Berlin - Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germans had for too long failed to grasp how immigration was changing their country and would have to get used to the sight of more mosques in their cities, according to a newspaper. (Snip) "Our country is going to carry on changing, and integration is also a task for the society taking up the immigrants," Merkel told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung daily. "For years we've been deceiving ourselves about this. Mosques, for example, are going to be a more prominent part of our cities than they were before," she added.
(Excerpt) Read more at news24.com ...
Yeah, for years anyone who raised a red flag on this was called a racist. Now Angela is hinting that Germans will have to be Dhimmis in their own land. I wonder how the average German is going to swallow this?
This should go over big with the Germans.
We need to make churches a prominent part of their cites.
Germany imported the Muzzies to do their dirty work on the cheap, just like we did with the Mexicans. Time to reap the whirlwind.
I'd take Mexicans over muzzies any day
is she really favoring the change?? what is she smoking??
The difference is that Mexicans are not opposed to Western culture - they are Christians, descendants of the Western Christian culture of Spain, and while you may not like them, they aren't out to kill us or take us over. The Muslims, on the other hand, would gladly crush every German Christian head into the ground.
And the Muslims here, in places such as Detroit and Minneapolis, will gladly do the same. They've already silenced bells in those cities and are broadcasting their Islamic howlings. And, incidentally, probably the majority are legal immigrants, brought in through family reunification, or illegals who overstayed a legal family reunification or student visa. So illegality is not necessarily the defining issue here. What is legal or illegal all depends on US immigration law.
Don't criticize Merkel unless you intend to do something about our own immigration policy, which is heavily slanted towards Islamic countries (especially after Obama changed it by an administrative act the month after he was inaugurated).
Hows that free abortion working out for ya now Europe your government says just live with it; while bowing to the east.
Abortion = Proxy to Infanticide
Once enough momentum results in a negative birth-rate, the replacement society must be imported and supported on the backs of the citizenry for the political classes welfare.
Islam speaks to the average German just fine, antisemitism being the main engine for both. Let them raze Hofbrauhaus and put up a mosque instead, and you may see some grumbling...
As I recall the Germans under Hitler were quite friendly with muslim countries. The German people at the time were enthralled by Hitler. Difficult to understand Merkel softening on muslims when other countries are awakening to another middle ages problem.
"As I recall the Germans under Hitler were quite friendly with muslim countries. The German people at the time were enthralled by Hitler. Difficult to understand Merkel softening on muslims when other countries are awakening to another middle ages problem."
This will not end well judging from history.
Germans trusted those elected to govern them (Merkel included) and now have one foot deep in the quicksand-style loss of their country.
Wonder how long it will be before "Octoberfest" is banned because it offends a certain segment of their non-alcoholic population?
The Germans do have methods for dealing with folks they don't like.
No, wait, the very Muzzies now taking over that country have told me that the solution was a lie perpetrated by those Joooooooos.
Guess the Muzzies have nothing to worry about.
Let's not call them mosques. Especially if they have no minaret. Let's call them "rabats". Rabat means many things, but it usually means "fortified place" or "fort", and historically Muslims built a rabat as the front line in the land they were conquering.
The left is good at stealing language, we can shift the line by doing it too.
No more "mosque", they are rabats- advance forts.
Taking up immigrants is one thing...invaders something else...
(The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, the faithful our soldiers.)
...For years we've been deceiving ourselves about this.
You still are deceiving yourself and your countrymen Angela...or is that just the taqiyya talk of a dhimmi/collectivist?
Demographics is destiny. Auf Wiedersehen, Tchau Germany.
Only one problem, too often "they" don't "integrate."
Now that's a problem.
Our immigration policy was designed by the Democrats back in 1965 and they have continued to bring in more "exotic" people all the time. When the Republicans get in, we have to pressure them to cut back on immigration. If the Repubs were smart, they would drive home the point to the nation, that the liberal Democrats with all of their politically correct policies were the ones who brought in millions of Muslims.
The immigration issue has to be brought up for discussion. No matter whether they calls us nativists, bigots, blah blah blah, we have to point out that the Democrat policies are endangering our country. The people will be on our side, everybody is fed up with the Muslims and all of their garbage. Stopping Muslim immigration is a sure fire winner for the Republicans.
We'll "get used to mosques" when the Muslims "get used to" cartoons that ridicule their extremism, their murdering, their "god."
The adoption of the name Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan signaled a new level of political consciousness among student activists. It was the final stage in the transformation of what had been loosely organized, local student groups, into a single structure and a unified student movement.
Adamant rejection of the label "Mexican-American" meant rejection of the assimilation and accommodationist melting pot ideology that had guided earlier generations of activists. Chicanismo involves a crucial distinction in a political consciousness between a Mexican-American (Hispanic) and a Chicana/o mentality. El Plan de Santa Barbara speaks to such issues of identity politics by asserting: "The Mexican-American (Hispanic) is a person who lacks respect for his/her cultural and ethnic heritage.
So the hispanic "reconquista" is just that; invasion. Just as the jihad. And all the while the Catholic bedrock of Mexico is being replaced (and fast) with islam. Back in 2007, Mecha's leader had an Arabic name, Omar Medina.
A couple years back, a prominent German writer Gunther Grass advised young Germans to emigrate as soon as they could. He said the nation was dying and there was no reason to stay. He said he himself was too old to emigrate but the younger generation should seriously consider leaving for more friendly environs. For a loyal German, his advice is sad but prescient.
If the people don't want the immigration, why can't it be stopped??
Same question here in the US
Yet you'd think we would learn about the harsh long term consequences of the short term quest for cheap labor
Which will likely be the downfall of Western Civilization
You got something resembling evidence to back up that assertion?According to the CIA World Factbook, the numbers of Muslims in Mexico are so small Islam isn't even listed as a religion.
What percentage of Mexicans does your evidence show are Muslims, and how fast is it climbing?
"If the people dont want the immigration, why cant it be stopped??
Same question here in the US"
Because on a number of really IMPORTANT issues, the main parties in both countries are no different - one of those is immigration. Another is bailing out bankers and deadbeats, and another is spending like drunken sailors.
In America, we have the Tea Party to deal with that. In Sweden, they now have the "Democrats". Other countries have their parties, but (obviously) we mean business.
Notice the use of the word "integration". What exactly do they mean by that? The term "integration" is also used by the people behind the North American Union. This is language that is hinting of the bringing together of the Moslem countries into the European Union. They are forcing Islam down the throats of the European people because they want their empire to extend into the Moslem world. There is advanced discussion of bringing Turkey into the European Union. Even Sarkozy is talking about the "Mediterranean Union" which would include the Moslem countries along the south of the Mediterranean sea.
Looking at this with new eyes gives us some insight into the Bosnian/Serb/Kosovo conflict. Why did Clinton and Europe take the side of the Muslims against the Christian Serbs? Because they wanted to appease the Moslems and do not want any Christians standing up for their rights. They already had their plans in mind for including Turkey and other Moslem countries into their empire so they didn't want any dhimmi uprisings.
Look at how the European leaders are treating their own people. Basically giving them up to their Moslem tormentors. This is treachery on a grand scale.
It looks like anyone who wants to move up high in politics has to sign in to the globalist one world agenda. Merkle is no conservative because a true conservative would fight for her country's independence with her dying breath.
This gives me chills because it's happening here. It isn't good for Germany and it isn't good for America. My country is being overrun.
I was getting ready to type the exact same thing.
The Muslim religion seems to be spreading faster than Christianity these days and that is a scary thought. Remember my friends that despite Obama's denial of us ever being at war with Islam, the fact is that the Western world has been at war with Islam for over 700 years. When they took Jerusalem over hundreds of years ago they planted a victory mosque where they thought Solomon's Temple was. If they get their mosque built on Ground Zero even peaceful Muslims will whisper to themselves that they are in the midst of taking over the Western world.
So much for you, Angie.
Future headline — Germany to Angel Merkel: get used to unemployment.
Thanks Nachum.
I believe it is because the government has been bought and paid for with Saudi wahabbist petrodollars. It is the only thing that can explain the continual calling of evil good and good evil.
Rofl. Please don't quote the CIA factbook at me. It's usually trailing a few years from realtime, and nowadays no one can know which way it leans. Which is, I suppose, why it's getting serious opponents.
Anyway, yes, there is evidence. It is there for the taking, feel free to do your own research. You can start with Hezbollah ops in Mexico, for example. Or, as I said, Mecha coordination with the PLO.
Can't find numbers but..........
"Praying to Allah in Mexico: Islam Is Gaining a Foothold in Chiapas"
By Jens Glüsing
"Islam, Sunnah y Salafiyyah en español
"Mexico Discovers Islam"
by Michelle An-Nasr
A new generation of Muslims is introducing Islam to Mexicans.
"Mexico's indigenous minority converting to Islam - 14 Mar 08"
That is the chilling, but very simple, truth. (And it is DISGUSTING.)
That's ridiculous. Hispanic immigration is NOT Muslim immigration. There was one place, Chiapas, that the left had taken over which did indeed have Muslim proseletysing - but the majority of those who "converted" were people who had first converted to Evangelical Protestantism.
They were Catholics in a left-wing diocese who went into these Protestant churches where everything is grouped around a pastor. When he leaves, changes or simply reveals himself to be a human being like anybody else, they are scandalized and leave Christianity. Mostly, they go into nothing; in Chiapas, the marabitun had sent people there, and many of them converted to Islam.
But then the Pope removed that bishop and appointed an orthodox Catholic, and now the bleeding to Protestantism and, subsequently, to Islam has been stopped.
I hope you're right, it would be the only place in the world where the jihad has been brought to a halt. Meanwhile, Hezbollah is training the Zetas, beheadings are becoming an epidemic, and the muslims are patting themselves on the back over the advances in Mexico.
She's starting to sound like a "compassionate conservative" having done nothing about an "immigration problem" and now telling people to accept the consequences from those of the "religion of peace".
What a crock!
Tell that to La Raza and the many 'hispanic' organizations that sued to have govt. documents in spanish.
Revisiting & BUMPING a good thread. Thanks to all posters. Anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collectives will likely join forces. There is very little left to stop them.
You are getting both. Americans traded their liberty for a TV remote. ALL the TV networks in the USA are pro-Is*am because they have Sau*i investors, joint ventures or other multi billion deals.
Did you know that the Palestinians actually deny that the temple mount was the place where the Jewish temple was located? This is a common practice in Islam, after they conquer a people they rewrite history to wipe out any loyalty to a premoslem identity. Mohammed knew what mind-control meant long before anyone had invented the phrase. Mohammed, being a true cult leader wanted to own people body and soul.
One good thing—Americans are in a butt-kicking mood.
One good thing—Americans are in a butt-kicking mood.
This mosque story has really struck a cord among the American people and is one of those "no-brainers" that the average person can see as something that is so wrong and cannot be rationalized away by the usual bs artists in the media. Maybe it was a Godsend that will wake people up and educate them about the true insidious nature of Islam.
The average German thought it was good having cheap immigrant labor... that same German is starting to sense it wasn't that 'cheap' ...
Considering how much Latin culture adsorbed from the long rule of an Islamic Andalus, there isn't as much substantive difference as many might like to think. The Scriptures may be different, but similarities in the way they are held are striking.

I know we didnt get to see any action in this chapter but... darn I LOVED it!!! specially since Kubo didnt take the expected route, and instead surprised us all,
I guess if Isshin wouldnt be able to see hollows / shinigami , then that explains why he couldnt save Masaki from dying, (not being able to read any hollow/shinigami signature / prescence) and even if he was there, he would have human strength and wouldnt have been able to fight even a hollow (I guess) plus supposedly it wasnt Grandfisher, but something/someone bigger.
Also if what my2kb22 says is true (it seems possible) , then that would explain why Isshin has powers again, because Masaki died and that would finally allow Isshin to be Shinigami again. Wow talk about loosing ties, we definitely got a lot of answers with this chapter alone.

Better known as Brother Ali's DJ, BK-One takes his years of experience as a DJ and puts on his producer hat joining forces with up and coming Twin Cities beatsmith Benzilla to craft a Brazilian musical bed for some of Hip Hop's most engaging MC's. Rádio Do Canibal features appearances by Scarface, Slug (Atmosphere), Black Thought (The Roots), Brother Ali, Raekwon (Wu-Tang Clan), Murs (Living Legends), Phonte (Little Brother), Haiku D' Etat (Aceyalone, Myka 9 & Abstract Rude), Blueprint, P.O.S. (Doomtree), The Grouch (Living Legends), I Self Devine, Toki Wright, Aby Wolf and The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.
When not touring the globe with Brother Ali, BK-One has traveled extensively throughout Central and South America... these travels would become the inspiration for Rádio Do Canibal. The title Rádio Do Canibal refers to the Brazilian poet Oswald de Andrade's "Cannibal Manifesto". Written in 1928, the poem described Brazil as drawing its power from the absorption of other cultures. Decades later, Brazilians were creating wildly inventive music that drew inspiration from a wide range of sources. From the Brazilian sounds of bossa nova, Bahian folk, and samba, to international styles like psychedelic pop, reggae, Portuguese fado, and the soul, jazz, and funk music of the U.S., nothing was off limits. Rádio Do Canibal is a humble attempt to capture the spirit of that Brazilian music, creating something new and exciting.

PFD No. 6: Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies
Ryan Lambert
April 27 2009 06:10PM
Welcome to the sixth Playoff Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's sixth postseason game on April 27, 2009.
It's time like these that I think of Quint. Y'know, the shark-hunting badass from Jaws, who was awesome.
He knew that shark was going to eat him if he tried to find it. He knew it. And yet he got out on that boat and he went after that shark because, god dammit, that's what shark hunters do.
And tonight, the Flames are a lot like Quint. This can't end well for them. Their little boat is ill-equipped to handle a monster of this magnitude and, even if it survives the first brush with its foe, prehistoric and terrible, it will be so battered and torn that there's no way for it to get back safely to harbor.
Game 6 is almost certainly your last chance to see the Flames in 2008-09. At least at home. So go to the game tonight, or watch at home, and cheer for the boys. They gave you like seven months of happiness. The least you can do is drink to their legs and sing a sailors' song.
Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte... just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven-hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. Thirteen-footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin', so we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kinda like old squares in the battle like you see in the calendar named "The Battle of Waterloo" and the idea was: shark comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah, then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces. You know, by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday morning, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up, down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon, the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and he saw us... he was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and starts to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened... waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water; 316 men come out and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
Go Flames go.
The Calgary Flames (the fifth seed in the West) and the Chicago Blackhawks (the fourth seed). Calgary trails 3-2 and Chicago leads 17-15 on aggregate.
7:30 p.m. Mountain time and 9:30 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should .
Pengrowth Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta.
Calgary is 29-10-4 at home this year in all competition, and is 2-0 at home in the playoffs. The Blackhawks are 22-17-4 on the road.
What (to hate about the Blackhawks):
Kris Versteeg — I dunno, he seems like a dink to me. He also got traded from the Bruins to Chicago for, get this, Brandon Bochenski. That's how valuable Kris Versteeg is.
Brent Seabrook — Near my boyhood home there was a town called Seabrook and there was a nuclear power plant there, and everyone was very opposed to the nuclear power plant for all the reasons you'd imagine. However, I wanted to visit it because Homer Simpson worked in a nuclear power plant and so how bad could it be? I never went. And I'm sad about that to this very day.
Nikolai Khabibulin — Can't beat the Blackhawks if you don't beat him. So let's beat him badly. Almost to the point of death.
Drinking to your leg — Okay, so we drink to our legs!
Because this is the end, my only friends, the end. Enjoy the game and organize travel arrangements for the Bahamas (no swine flu there!) in the comments section.
Would it be possible to find Badger Bobs ashes and maybe have these guys snort it or something?
The bahamas sounds good!!!
@ blade: So wrong, but so funny.
The way I see things shaking down:
Mike Keenan & Jim Playfair are on their way out. Brent Sutter comes in as the new head coach.
This will be a big move for Darryl, to hire a new head coach that adds stability to the franchise. It could potentially be his ladt hire, and who better to turn things over to than his brother. I don't see Jersey standing in the way of this happening, however I'd be shocked if their wasn't some type of compensation headed to the Devils.
Brent will keep Preston & Cookson on board (he has a prior relationship with both), and he may look at adding a guy like Craig Hartsburg (previously worked together @ World Jrs), or perhaps Ryan McGill from Quad City. Perhaps Jim Playfair heads to Red Deer to take over the Rebels.
Or not.
Until I read the TSN story after the game, I didn't realize that the Flames have only made it past the first round once in the last 20 years. As bad as it was to be Oiler fan this year, that put it in perspective for me.

They wont lose first round. I am more confident of that than anything. If the playoffs started today they would face Columbus. Its not the Minnesota of favourable match ups but really really close. Actually the only team I would prefer them not facing in the first round is Anaheim. Not because of fear of losing to them, but more or less because they hit hard and can leave a team battered in the second round.
I mean you Oiler fans love to talk about the "likely" first round exit but you cant really tell me any of you actually are that confident it'll happen; definitely not enough to put money on it as I have for them making it to the second already.

The way I see things shaking down: Mike Keenan & Jim Playfair are on their way out. Brent Sutter comes in as the new head coach. This will be a big move for Darryl, to hire a new head coach that adds stability to the franchise. It could potentially be his ladt hire, and who better to turn things over to than his brother. I don't see Jersey standing in the way of this happening, however I'd be shocked if their wasn't some type of compensation headed to the Devils. Brent will keep Preston & Cookson on board (he has a prior relationship with both), and he may look at adding a guy like Craig Hartsburg (previously worked together @ World Jrs), or perhaps Ryan McGill from Quad City. Perhaps Jim Playfair heads to Red Deer to take over the Rebels. Or not.
Im not sold that Brent would come in to work under Darryl, it also has a certain redundancy of messages that the Flames brass might not be so inclined to support. I realize Kinger loves Darryl but unless King is inclined to call the last 2 games an aberration born of attrition.... Darryls street cred has to have taken a hit and although I agree that Brent would become either Darryls ticket to the promised land or ticket out of here, Im not sure the brass could handle 2 of the siblings. It makes for good copy and It wouldnt be tough to pitch to the fans, alberta boys and all that.... but would it really be a good tandem. Is Brent gonna accept Darryl coming down and bitching out his team when they suck.. and further to that theres something that I find a bit puzzling so I inquire for a bit of input. When Sutter comes down from the sky and does the thing he does with the players (the meeting thing after the meeting thing), is it just me or does that totally undermine his Captain?
Anyone who didn't see this coming a mile away is insane. Frankly, I thought they'd get swept.

Phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46) Blocking Peptide #1052
Gallery: Phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46) Blocking Peptide #1052
This peptide is used to block Phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46) (236B4) Rabbit mAb #2855 reactivity.
The quality of the peptide was evaluated by reversed-phase HPLC and by mass spectrometry. The peptide blocks Phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46) (236B4) Rabbit mAb #2855 signal in immunohistochemistry and both Phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46) (236B4) Rabbit mAb #2855 and Phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46) Antibody #9459 in Western blotting.
Use as a blocking reagent to evaluate the specificity of antibody reactivity in Western blotting and immunohistochemistry protocols. For immunohistochemistry, add twice the volume of peptide as volume of antibody used in 100 μl total volume. Incubate for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to adding the entire volume to the slide. For Western blotting, add an equal volume of peptide as volume of antibody used in 10 ml total volume, and incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes before allowing to react with the blot. Recommended antibody dilutions can be found on the product data sheet.Storage: Supplied in 20 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.0), 50 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mg/ml BSA, 5% glycerol and 1% DMSO. Store at –20°C.
Translation repressor protein 4E-BP1 (also known as PHAS-1) inhibits cap-dependent translation by binding to the translation initiation factor eIF4E. Hyperphosphorylation of 4E-BP1 disrupts this interaction and results in activation of cap-dependent translation (1). Both the PI3 kinase/Akt pathway and FRAP/mTOR kinase regulate 4E-BP1 activity (2,3). Multiple 4E-BP1 residues are phosphorylated in vivo (4). While phosphorylation by FRAP/mTOR at Thr37 and Thr46 does not prevent the binding of 4E-BP1 to eIF4E, it is thought to prime 4E-BP1 for subsequent phosphorylation at Ser65 and Thr70 (5).

By Gregg Nahass and Jim SmithIf last year's strategy was about back to basics and staying the course, for many companies 2010 will be different. One sure sign: deal activity is poised to heat up. In this article, Gregg Nahass and Jim Smith, leaders in PwC's M&A Integration practice, look at how leading businesses across diverse industries are seizing the opportunity and using deals to reinvent their companies.
Like so many things affected by what's coming to be called the Great Recession, corporate mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures may never be quite the same. As deal activity begins to ramp up, companies are aware that the stakes have never been higher and are beginning to think about the right strategic moves: More than a third of multinational executives surveyed said that over the next 12 months their companies planned to purchase another business, pursue a spin-off, or sell part or all of a business.1 In a recent PwC survey, 69 percent of respondents anticipated increased levels of divestiture activity in the coming year compared with the previous 12 months.2
For some organizations, deals will be about survival; for more progressive companies, they'll be about looking ahead to the inevitable economic uptick. Either way, the undertaking won't focus merely on a timely, well-executed transaction. Now, more than ever, a deal offers the chance to fundamentally alter an organization for the better. In short, it's an opportunity for transformation.
Under the best circumstances, mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures offer possibility and uncertainty. However, the post-financial-crisis landscape brings increased deal complexity, longer timelines to close, and more-rigorous due diligence required by lending institutions. In such an environment, a deal can be the trigger that changes the way an organization conducts business both within and outside the company— from adopting new business models, overhauling operations, and strengthening its management team, to entering new markets and more.
How can a company realize profound change through a deal? It takes strategic foresight, executive commitment, and relentless planning and execution—a tall order, to be sure, but one that many companies are navigating and successfully managing.
Transformation through M&A
When companies consider mergers and acquisitions (M&A), they typically think in terms of deal value and synergies—that is, the advantages that can result from making the most of each company's strengths, consolidating operations, and reducing costs. This mind-set is fundamental to any deal, but it is no longer the sole focus. More and more, companies are looking at how a merger or acquisition has the potential for transforming their front-office or back-office operations or, in some cases, both.
On the front end, a merger or acquisition can fundamentally change how a company interacts with its customers and trade partners. A business might pursue such a deal in order to (1) keep up with its competition, (2) grow significantly, or (3) redefine the products or services it plans to sell going forward. One US pharmaceutical company that we worked with conducted the acquisition of a European pharmaceutical company in order to greatly expand its market reach. The US company realized that the deal would affect every aspect of its business. It couldn't have a siloed approach to integration, so it looked at the transformational impacts on all departments and functions: finance, human resources, global supply chain, commercial sales, legal, research and development, regulatory, and more. That broader and more holistic view helped the company navigate its transformation into a global pharmaceutical company. Prior to the deal, all of its operations had been US based, but with this large-scale acquisition, the company doubled in size overnight and began operating in 30 European countries where it had never done business.
On the back end, there might be transformational opportunities for companies to change internal operations and redefine the way they conduct business. A software or technology company undergoing a merger or acquisition may take the opportunity to reinvent the way it sells products to and interacts with its customers—an approach we refer to as digital transformation. By taking advantage of the Internet and other technologies, the company could integrate the disparate systems and business processes that govern its product development, sales and marketing, fulfillment, and service and support. The result? A unified customer experience that brings many potential benefits, including interactive relationships, customized products, new revenue streams, modernized delivery channels, and lower operating costs.

Impregnated with natural scent extracted from real minnows, the Uncle Josh's Meat Minnow is the closest thing you can get to live bait. It wriggles and floats with convincing realism. Its lifelike, floating tail twitches and flutters - even when at rest - to out-fish any artificial plastic. The Uncle Josh's Meat Minnow can also withstand multiple fish catches, unlike the real thing.
Uncle Josh's Meat is a totally new type of pork bait. Made from the fat without the hide (or rind) attached, Uncle Josh's Meat is easy to put on and take off the hook with an unbelievable lifelike action and natural texture. All of Uncle Josh's Meat is impregnated with genuine live-bait scent so they look, act, smell, and taste like the real thing. The legendary durability of natural pork also means that each bait will catch multiple fish - and they're 100% biodegradable.

Murray Rothbard's greatest contribution to the politics of freedom is back in print. Following up on Mises's demonstration that a society without private property degenerates into economic chaos, Rothbard shows that every interference with property represents a violent and unethical invasion that diminishes liberty and prosperity.
First published in 1982, The Ethics of Liberty is a masterpiece of argumentation, and shockingly radical in its conclusions. Rothbard says that the very existence of the state--the entity with a monopoly privilege to invade private property--is contrary to the ethics of liberty. A society without a state is not only viable; it is the only one consistent with natural rights.
When it first appeared, the book was ignored by the scholarly world. Robert Nozick's treatise, taking a much softer view, was heralded instead. Nozick has since moved on to social democracy. Meanwhile, Rothbard's primary philosophical work went out of print and then virtually disappeared. Foreign-language editions have appeared, but the English version was unavailable.
But times have changed. For believers in liberty, Rothbard is an invaluable intellectual asset. At last, his most rigorous argument is available again, and in the stirring prose he is famous for.
In this volume, Rothbard first familiarizes the reader with Natural Law theory. After this ethical introduction, he goes on to address numerous ethical issues, showing how liberty is in the right in every case. In the final two sections, Rothbard enumerates the state's role in society as inherently anti-liberty, and details the structure of alternate theories of liberty.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
What do you do with a reservoir that is filling up with silt and the storage capacity is being reduced by 74 acre feet of water per year? And, what do you do with that same dam that does not meet safety criteria? The answers are you can raise the dam to increase the storage capacity, you can decommission the dam, you can build a bigger spillway to meet safety regulations, or you can dredge the silt out of the reservoir.
Tracy Behling, manager of the Ferron Canal Company, opened the scoping meeting for the Millsite Dam to investigate some solutions to the problems at the reservoir. We know we have a sediment problem at Millsite and we are losing water storage. We asked the National Resources Conservation Services dam safety division for help and they are here tonight to explain our options, said Behling. Millsite was built in 1969-70 under the NRCS watershed program. Now, it does not meet the safety regulations for dams, and with our sediment problem, we asked if they could help us with solutions.
Norm Evenstad of the NRCS stated, Millsite is a high hazard structure and is the first of the dams built during that period to go through the rehab process. We are in the planning phase now and are looking for alternatives and estimated costs. The NRCS will cover 65 percent of the cost of the plan that is decided upon, and the remaining 35 percent is the responsibility of the canal company and others that are involved with Millsite.
When this process is complete, and the rehabilitation is done to the dam if that is the choice made, the life of the dam will be extended for at least 50 more years. We are hoping for a solution that will extend it for another 100 years.
The problem with the safety at Millsite is the auxiliary spillway. It was designed to provide 12,000 cubic feet per second of water release. The minimum requirement now is 30,000-40,000 CFS, said Evenstad. At the very least, more spillway is required, stated Evenstad.
Evenstad explained the process NRCS has been through to arrive at the options now being explored. He said there has been numerous studies done on site at the dam and divers have gone in and photographed the dam under the water line. Those divers found no major problems and the decision was made that Millsite is a candidate for rehabilitation.
The alternatives which have been deemed as valid are the no action alternative, the decommission alternative, and four rehab alternatives. In the no action alternative, the operation of Millsite Dam would remain the same with nothing being done to address the safety and sediment issues. Eventually the dam would be required to be decommissioned due to safety and liability concerns.
For the decommission alternative, requirements would be to remove the dam and restore the entire area to its original condition. This alternative would require the City of Ferron, the Ferron Canal Company and PacifiCorp to develop a new water source or purchase water from an existing source to replace the loss supplied by the current reservoir. The cost for decommissioning a dam is usually prohibitive.
There are four rehab alternatives and the first is to raise the existing spillway one foot to allow for another 50 years of sediment storage, and to construct an additional roller compacted concrete auxiliary spillway (685 feet). The estimated cost for this alternative is $9,324,000.
Rehab alternative number two is to raise the existing auxiliary spillway and the crest of the dam 2.5 feet to provide another 100 years of sediment storage, and construct an additional roller compacted concrete auxiliary spillway (1,320 feet). The projected cost for this alternative is $15,802,000.
Alternative number three consists of raising the existing auxiliary spillway and crest of the dam 2.5 feet and constructing an additional roller compacted concrete auxiliary spillway (500 feet). The estimated cost for this alternative is $7,827,000.
The number four alternative is to raise the existing auxiliary spillway and the crest of the dam seven feet and construct an additional roller compacted concrete auxiliary spillway (600 feet) with an estimated cost of $9,945,000. The differences between each of these alternatives is the size of the additional auxiliary spillway due to a different location along the existing dam.
As a side note, the projected cost for dredging the sediment from the reservoir to increase the storage capacity to what it was originally is $51,126,000.

The second option is to sign the sales receipt instead of entering a PIN. When selecting debit, you can request cash back as part of your transaction. Both ways deduct your purchase from your checking account. The Choice is yours: if you want to use your signature, select "credit" instead of "debit" on the terminal. This does not mean that you will be billed later, but it does afford you the same protections as your credit cards, including Zero Liability, which means you owe nothing for unauthorized charges.
Tips for Using Your Cards Responsibly
Upon receiving your new card, you will be required to activate the card. You can do this by calling the number listed on the card or making a withdrawal at an ATM. Your card and PIN number will be mailed to you in separate mailings. Before you use your card, be aware of these facts:
To Report a Lost or Stolen Check Card
Please advise us immediately if your card is lost or stolen. This is the best way to protect the funds in your account.

Model Number:
Find your stride in the BOA 1" Elite Split Leg Short. A high split will allow your legs to move as they're meant to: free and fast.
Made in USA
Comments: Awesome pair of shorts for a runner! But if you run for a Cross Country or Track team that does a lot of stretching at practice, you might want to rethink wearing these bad boys. Highly recommended for runs on the off days alone or not, but be careful where you point these hotties. The linear does keep you comfortable, but the clear-colored linear and the outmoving split shorts shorts are vulnerable to some surprises during circle stretches and flexibility work outs. Don't get me wrong, the linear keeps your junk in place and comfortable! Just in few positions when you have sight of the linear, you get a perfect picture of what's down stairs. The only point of this review is to constantly nail down the fact that you are going to want to avoid flexibility stretches and work outs in the sight of your fellow running patrons. But these shorts attract a lot attention in public, bringing back the memories from the 80s. Awesome shorts and love running long distances in them!
From: Anonymous, Atlanta, GA, USA. July 29th 2014
Comments: Recently received a pair of BOA 1" shorts. I have been running for 33 years, and these are the best pair of shorts I've ever run in. I am a 30 waist and usually buy small. Per the size chart I ordered a medium, and they fit perfectly. I will definitely buy another pair. Happy running!
From: Charles, Camillus, NY
Comments: These, along with the 3 other Boas I got from Running Warehouse are the best running shorts I've ever used, bar none. They are light, comfortable, and easy to run in. Will buy more when you guys have more cool designs in stock.
From: Collin, Salt Lake City UT
Comments: I have run in these shorts ever since BOA went into business. Quality has remained 5-Star thoughout time. Great product!
From: Ralph, Grover Beach, CA, USA
Comments: Pretty nice apparel. They look good and feel better. But that split runs pretty high. Definitely not for the shy. Love these things. Will get more.
From: Anonymous
Comments: Great shorts! Arrived on time and look amazing! I love racing in these. 'MURICA
From: Will, Missouri
Comments: Awesome pair of shorts and so comfortable. I ran my marathon in these and it was amazing, but be advised that these are very short; Size is pretty much true fit.
From: Luke, Manhattan, KS, USA
Comments: I am a Clydesdale runner with an athletic build (6'0, 200 lbs) and wear size large. I decided on these for the short inseam and stylish look. They are short and expose plenty of thigh but I have shorts which are shorter. These are short, loose, and comfortable, allowing a large range of motion without any chaffing caused from material, which I experienced with other brands and styles. The hygiene panel is more generous than other running shorts I own, which can wedge. The panel, in addition to the looseness does not create an embarrassing bulge up front like I have experienced with other brands. The material wicks moisture away very well, but they can become soaked during extended runs on the treadmill, as do the other brands I wear. I run about 25 miles per week and also wear them during cross training on the elliptical or stepper. The longest distance I've run in them thus far is 10 miles. They are a perfect balance between showing leg while retaining some modesty (no bulges up front and not cheeky). I have them in the Hard Rock and Vulcan Pimento and they look really good.
From: Brian, Ohio, US
Comments: I was hoping these were going to be short enough & they are! They are also lighter than my Uzzi pair. I average 27 miles a week gym in the winter & can't wait for spring to get outside! Great fit I just wish they would put in an iPod pocket.
From: Adam, Kokomo, IN, USA
Comments: These shorts are the best I ever had, I just got them a week ago and have worn them twice. I use them for running and at the gym on the treadmill & abdominal crunches. They are short, light weight, comfortable. next to wearing nothing. going to be buying several more pair immediately. They do fit snug in the waist but for me they are perfect just the way they but if you want loose you need to go up one size. I can not say enough about them they are great shorts!
From: Kevin, USA
Comments: When I first got these, just from the appearance, I was worried that I had gotten the wrong size. Luckily they fit me. However, they are very short, so be-warned. But short was what I was looking for. These are very comfortable. I need to be cautious when wearing these on windy days :) .
From: anonymous
Comments: These probably are the best pair of running shorts that I have bought and I would have to agree with the other comments on these. They are a "true" running short for the "true" runner, they do run on the small side and are very short and do attract attention but extremely, extremely comfortable and I also would recommend to wear these without underwear the liner is very supportive and yet feels like you are wearing nothing at all. I'm on the skinny side at 155 lbs and 5-7" and a small fits me perfect. I run 20 to 25 miles a week and also use these for bike riding.
From: Chris, Miami, FL, USA
Comments: I am a medium in all other brands of running shorts but these run small and I would suggest to size up to a large which fit me perfect. These shorts feel like you are wearing nothing and are made from lightweight fabric and flow with your running movement. Great shorts for the price. Even with a full split they are not to revealing. More companies should make shorts like these. I run races 10K - marathon, weekly mileage 40-50 miles.
From: Mike, Ashland, OR, USA
Comments: Great pair of shorts, and very good service. It arrived quickly, with an enclosed return sticker (which I did not need). I'm planning to buy another one. I like to use these shorts on my home elliptical as well as for seasonal running. When I do go out running, I get a few comments from smart-aleck teens. That's okay by me, but just be forewarned that these things are sheer and will occasionally draw unwanted attention! Then again, runners are crazy anyway and we can take it!
From: Terry, Glendale, AZ, USA
Comments: I run 50-60 miles a week, do 10K's & Halfs every weekend. 5'7", 167pds. Died in the wool Asics shoe lover. I have this short and the matching singlet--EXTREMELY comfortable! About as close as you can come to running in the buff. Never know its there!
From: Jeff, Atlanta, GA, USA
Comments: Runs a bit small, ordered a small for myself and came in a little on the tighter and "revealing" side. Other than that a GREAT pair of shorties and light weight for sure.
From: Stefan, Parker City, IN, USA
Comments: Great, lightweight pair of running shorts. They are comfortable and have a minimal aesthetic. My pair felt a little bit smaller in the waist and crotch than my Nike 2" split shorts in the same size. Because of this, I would recommend wearing these without underwear. The only thing I would possible change about these shorts would be to add reflective elements.
From: Daniel, AZ/MI, USA
Comments: I run about 20-40 miles a week and sometimes in temps up to 115 degrees. A lot of up and down hills and some are steep so the full side splits have the free movement. Nice to know that there is a company that makes running shorts for practical reasons and not a fashion statement, with all those of the long shorts out there.

Intellectual Property and the Incentive Fallacy
Eric E. Johnson
University of North Dakota School of Law
January 23, 2011
39 Florida State University Law Review 623
The enterprise of intellectual property law has long been based on the premise that external incentives – such as copyrights and patents – are necessary to get people to produce artistic works and technological innovations. This article argues that this foundational belief is wrong. Using recent advances in behavioral economics, psychology, and business-management studies, along with empirical investigations of industry, it is now possible to construct a compelling case that the incentive theory, as a general matter, is mistaken, and that natural and intrinsic motivations will cause technology and the arts to flourish even in the absence of externally supplied rewards. The result is that intellectual property law itself needs a fundamental rethinking.

That is awesome
As far as optimizations are concerned, I am not too concerned about a different digitalWrite coming into the scene, in the sense that people would have to rewrite parts of the SW.

The Waukesha Choral Union will present George Frideric Handel's "Messiah" as a free gift to the community on Sunday, March 17, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. in Shattuck Auditorium on the Carroll University campus. Artistic director Ernest "Ernie" Brusubardis III will conduct this performance comprised of choir, orchestra, and soloists. The choir is made up of Waukesha Choral Union members and volunteer community singers. Soloists for the Waukesha Choral Union production are: Kristin Wrolstad, Soprano; Jillian Bruss, Alto; Curtis Bannister, Tenor; and Brian Leeper, Bass.
Waukesha Choral Union has been performing Handel's "Messiah" or Haydn's "Creation" as a free concert annually for over three decades. This longstanding tradition is funded by area businesses, foundations, and benefactors as well as through generous donations from patrons. Brusubardis is "Delighted that all facets of the greater Waukesha community come together to create, perform, experience, and enjoy."
Handel's "Messiah" is one of the most popular works in the Western choral literature. The libretto by Charles Jennens is drawn entirely from the King James and Great Bibles, and interprets the Christian doctrine of the Messiah. Composed in London during the summer of 1741 and premiered in Dublin, Ireland on 13 April 1742, it was repeatedly revised by Handel, reaching its most familiar version in the performance to benefit the Foundling Hospital in 1754. The work is divided into three parts, which address specific events in the life of Christ. Part One is primarily concerned with the Advent and Christmas stories. Part Two chronicles Christ's passion, resurrection, ascension, and the proclamation to the world of the Christian message. Part Three is based primarily upon the events chronicled in the Book of Revelation.
Community singers interested in joining the performance must attend three rehearsals:
• Sunday, March 10, 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. at Shattuck Auditorium, Carroll University.
• Tuesday, March 12, 7:00 – 9:30 p.m. at Christ the Servant Lutheran Church.
• Saturday, March 16, 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. at Shattuck Auditorium, Carroll University.
Music will be provided. To sing "Messiah" with Waukesha Choral Union contact the membership chairperson by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 262-893-6309. Shattuck Auditorium is located at 100 North E. Ave., Waukesha. Christ the Servant Lutheran Church is located at 2016 Center Road, Waukesha.
One concert remains in the Waukesha Choral Union's 2012 – 2013 "Spirit of Creativity" season:
• Saturday, May 4, 2012, "Something Old & Something New" at Shattuck Auditorium, Carroll University. Performance repertoire includes Haydn's "Little Organ Mass," excerpts of Handel's "Chandos Anthems," and "Innocence and Reflections," the world premiere of a new commissioned work by Paula Foley Tillen.

In Sunday show appearances, White House chief of staff Denis McDonough said there is progress on an immigration bill, officials are monitoring security worries at the Winter Olympics, and there is no timetable for a decision on the proposed Keystone oil pipeline.
McDonough also defended a chemical weapons agreement with Syria, but said the Syrians should be removing their stockpiles more quickly.
One thing McDonough did not comment on: The troubles of New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie.
"This is a New Jersey matter to be resolved in New Jersey," McDonough told CBS' Face The Nation. "We don't have a role in this."
Regarding other issues:
The Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia: McDonough said the U.S. government is not discouraging Americans from attending the Games, but is asking them to keep checking the State Department website for updates on security concerns.
"We are tracking it very, very closely, as you would expect," McDonough said on CBS. "We're in close touch with the Russians. When we get new information, we share with the American people."
The Keystone oil pipeline. While the State Department issued an environmental analysis late last week, McDonough said the application process is ongoing and he would not provide a timeline for a final decision.
In making the final call, President Obama believes the pipeline project — which would carry oil from the tar sands of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, through the middle of the United States — "should not significantly exacerbate the climate crisis in this country," McDonough said on NBC's Meet The Press.
The Environmental Protection Agency, the Energy Department and other "expert agencies" are still reviewing the pipeline proposal, McDonough said.
Republicans said Obama is delaying the project in order to placate environmentalists. Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La., speaking on CNN's State of the Union, called the project a "no-brainer" because it would help lower the cost of oil, and said it could only be opposed for "purely ideological reasons."
Immigration. McDonough said the administration is happy to discuss new Republican ideas on immigration. But he raised questions about a GOP proposal to permit a new kind of "legal status" to immigrants who are in the United States illegally, but are willing to pay back taxes and fines.
The Obama administration wants a formal "pathway to citizenship."
While saying "we're not going to jump to any conclusions on this," McDonough told CBS' Face The Nation: "We don't want to have a permanent separation of classes, or two permanent different classes of Americans in this country.We're just not gonna live with that."
The White House chief of staff added: "We'll see how this plays out."
Syria. The U.S. has said that, so far, Syria has removed only 4% of the chemical weapons due out of the country by June 30.
"It's not falling apart, but we would like to see it proceed much more quickly than it is," McDonough told CBS. He later added, "we're going to make sure that the Syrians live up to their obligations. They have an obligation to the international community to do exactly what they said they'd do."
During the Meet The Press appearance, McDonough disputed the idea that Obama — who has seen his approval ratings fall to the low 40s — faces a "shrinking" presidency.
"I concede that the president doesn't spend a lot of time looking at Washington," McDonough said. "What the president does is spend a lot of time looking at what families across the country want."
