Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Brian Katz is a director and head of the mobility industrialization and engineering group at Sanofi. He manages mobile initiatives and enables the organization to make advance-ments in mobile services, such as mobilizing the salesforce, handling BYOD initiatives, and enabling new devices and form factors for business success. He has more than 20 years' experience in managing and implementing IT processes at global multinational corporations.
Brian Katz of Sanofi discusses how consumerization of IT means enterprise IT should treat users as partners.
Interview conducted by Vinod Baya and Galen Gruman
PwC: Brian, you are an active blogger, and you also lead mobility engineering at Sanofi. A key impact of cloud, mobility, and social technologies on IT is what is being called consumerization of IT [CoIT]. What is the trend and why is it important?
BK: Indeed, there is a lot of talk about consumerization of IT these days. It is often equated to bringing your own device [BYOD], in that no longer are devices (phone or tablet or personal computer) only what is sanctioned by the IT function. Rather, employees can bring the device of their choice and access enterprise services on that device. When I look at the statistics, such as 87 percent of companies are doing BYOD, probably 60 percent to 70 percent of those companies are enabling e-mail on the device. I don't think enabling e-mail on any device is enough to qualify to be doing BYOD. That device needs to access the company's IT ecosystem and the services it represents. Until a company does that, it's not truly doing BYOD.
On the other hand, CoIT is a big deal. A lot of employees today are savvier with IT, as they have grown up with the Internet and associated technologies and services. They want to be able to get their work done and have the capability to build or procure IT services. CoIT brings that dynamic more to the forefront.
PwC: How does that impact IT operations?
BK: The popular opinion of the last 8 to 10 years is that the goal of IT is to enable the business. Yet, there's not a place you can turn where people aren't talking about "IT means no," in that when they take a request to IT, the answer is often "no."
CoIT means it is much harder to say "no" now, because people are going to work their way around it. If IT is nonresponsive, employees today can use their know-how to find better and easier-to-use tools to perform certain aspects of their jobs. If that happens, IT organizations can have a big problem on their hands, because they will have little to no control over these tools and limited visibility into the data used and stored. So IT's challenge becomes how not to say no, and to have a role in enabling new capabilities and services in partnership with the employees.
PwC: What changes should IT make?
BK: Most IT organizations spend way too much time building applications and not focusing on the user. The reason this happens and takes up a lot of IT's time is scope creep on any project. It happens incrementally with people saying IT really should be able to do this one other piece, and then before you're done, you have an application that has 300 features. The reality is that 80 percent of the users only use 30 features; what do you do with the other 270? Does it make sense to design an app with 270 features, where the use case occurs less than 20 percent of the time? Maybe you build another app for when you have that use case or maybe you accommodate that need a different way.
The change necessary is to treat the users as partners. Successful enterprises today are starting to embrace the fact that they have users who can assist in handling many of their own IT issues, because they have already waded through them in the home environment. This is the vital transformation that IT organizations must go through to continue to help their enterprises be successful. If they keep treating their employees as users, they will end up stuck in their legacy thinking that values process over partnership with their own internal customers. I would say such thinking has led to the exodus of IT talent from many large enterprises that don't see the morale-boosting, efficiency-granting value in CoIT.
PwC: Companies increasingly are becoming digital, and there is the trend to use APIs [application programming interfaces] to share and co-create in a digital ecosystem. How is that impacting IT operations?
BK: If you think about it, information wants to be free, at least within the company. This is new for most companies; most companies lock up their information and don't like to share it. However, when enterprises build APIs to interact with the information repositories, and to read, input, or manipulate the data, they enable new services that can get someone's job done.
In reality, they're building a workflow based upon modular chunks of what the user is doing. Most of the time, users want to do work in small, focused chunks. When companies do work in such a modular way, it's much easier to be more productive in everything else.
PwC: With APIs, in some sense IT opens up its capabilities and allows employees to partner with IT to co-create new functionality. Should IT encourage this?
BK: That is what should happen in the long term. However, today it's a big leap of faith and not everybody is ready to do that yet. For example, I recently visited a very large company that has been transforming IT to make users into partners. A member of the IT team said, "Somebody requested to put an app in our internal app store the other day. They looked at our APIs; they want to try designing something that they could use. They built this great app that a group of other people also thought was a great app, and they're using it based upon capabilities made accessible by APIs."
Non-IT employees created a new app using the APIs. Now IT's role is different. Perhaps IT just puts it in the internal app store and nothing else. Or IT adds security to it, or maybe IT looks at it and says, "You know, we could help you make it even better so it scales to all employees." IT may also get new ideas for opening up other APIs that would prompt more co-creation. This is a good partnership.
PwC: To use APIs across the enterprise, do you think IT organizations need to reorganize their assets as platforms with addressable interfaces?
BK: It depends on how they design and architect the platform. If a platform is building APIs to access data and make it available, whether on the premises or in a private or a public cloud, then yes, I agree that a platform is what they need.
On the other hand, they should avoid building a platform that becomes so unwieldy that they cannot make changes to it without much expense or disruption. I've lived through that. If you talk to anybody who did any IT from 1995 to 2005, they will recall platforms that people just kept adding to. They added to the point where, when they need to update a piece, they have 27 other pieces that depend on it, so they can't update because it's locked. The platform is complex and unwieldy.
IT organizations should build the platforms so capabilities are modular and interchangeable, and so modules can be upgraded without disturbing the system. It depends on how they architect a platform. They need to have principles that define how they're going to build their platform to avoid becoming complex and unwieldy.

Hey hey don't reveal spoilers!
Hey hey don't reveal spoilers!
I love this manga-animé because the personalities of each character are so true-to-life. Each member of my family is represented by a club host. Drama-queen Tamaki, Stoic Mori, Crueler-than-the-other-Hitachiin brothers, Indulgence-slave Hunny, and Shadow-King Kyouya.
BTW Hunny-senpai alluded to a Kaoru-Haruhi and/or Kyouya-Haruhi pairing in both manga and animé. The manga delivered the Kaoru angle. Since I'm so rooting for Kyouya, I'm hoping Hatori Bisco makes good on Hunny-senpai's predictions. The animé sort of delivered the Kyouya-Haruhi angle via his dad's conversation with Tamaki's dad at the very end of the last episode of the series. Although I know that this pairing would never work -- two cynical, like-an-ice-cold-shower, party-pooping, forthright, no-nonsense personalities like Haruhi and Kyouya wouldn't make a good couple, I still want to see Kyouya fall in love and struggle with human and humane feelings like love and passion.
I hope Hatori Bisco finishes drawing the next chapter soon because I don't have Kyouya's prosaic patience.
i love hatori bisco's art! the drawings are so beautiful, simple and elegant
This is probably the only shojo series ive seen,and I actaully enjoyed it.
What I thought was hilarious and weird at the same time were the twins incest jokes.
I usually don't like romantic/shoujo stuff, but I adore Host Club. XD
The anime didn't suck, either. (Yay!)
Even if it did end too soon, IMHO.
I thought the twin jokes were hilarious, but I especially love the "Kya~~~~!" girls... I mean, wtf?
I can't help but not want to watch the English version when it's released... I just have a feeling they might not be able to live up to the Japanese anime. Anyone else feel like that?
Let's get this party started.
Hmm y dont ppl start discussing the latest chapter? Like how the latest keep giving me the feeling that the series is coming to an end? But seriously its sad the anime ended i wonder why theres so much more for them to do i hope theres a 2nd series in the works.
I havent read the manga but the anime is hilarius I just bought the second BSet it had a good ending. does anyone know of another anime similar to this one that you could recommend
OMG!!! ch67!! omg....awwww IT'S SOOO ADORABLE! omg, can't wait CAN'T WAIT!!!

Advanced, computer-enhanced technologies provide new alternatives to surgical procedures. Robot-assisted surgery is a special form of
minimally invasive surgery that uses the
da Vinci surgical system.
Essentially, the robot is a laparoscopic tool. As in traditional laparoscopy, robot-assisted surgery requires only a few small (0.5 to 1.5 cm) incisions through which a tiny camera and surgical instruments are inserted. Instead of manually controlling those instruments, the surgeon operates from a control console a few feet away while viewing the surgical field on a high-resolution monitor. Robotic arms equipped with endoscopes respond to the precise movements of the surgeon's hands.
Robot-assisted surgery has significant advantages over traditional laparoscopic and open surgical techniques:
Most importantly, robot-assisted surgery is associated with improved patient outcomes and less pain, blood loss, scarring and time to recuperate.
Robotic-assisted MIS is used for a wide range of conditions in multiple specialties including:

conditions treated using minimally invasive and

Skip to comments.St Petersburg Police Slash Tents of the Homeless
Posted on 01/20/2007 10:12:26 AM PST by meg88
St. Petersburg Police Slash Tents Of Homeless Skip directly to the full story. By STEPHEN THOMPSONand ROD CHALLENGER The Tampa Tribune
Published: Jan 20, 2007
ST. PETERSBURG - A homeless man was lying down in his tent across the street from a soup kitchen Friday when two police officers yanked open the tent's flap and shouted, "Get up. Get out of there."
Then, the man said, the officers dragged him outside and slashed the tent's dome with knives.
"In the end the cop asked me, 'Are you all right?'" said the man, who gave only a first name of Mo. "I said, 'Is this a joke? Are you kidding me?'"
A cat-and-mouse game between the city and its burgeoning homeless population took on a confrontational tone Friday as about two dozen officers swooped down on 15th Street North and either confiscated or destroyed a dozen tents in which homeless people had been living.
A week ago, a tent city up the street that was home to about 150 people was dismantled peaceably. Some of the 150 received rent vouchers; other homeless people accepted mats at a homeless shelter; still others took gasoline money or bus fare to return to out-of-state relatives or friends.
But some were not interested in those options, or they didn't qualify for them. So, on Jan. 13, when they were ordered to leave the tent city on Fourth Avenue North, roughly two dozen people pulled up stakes and moved beneath nearby Interstate 375.
One favored location beneath the highway is across from the St. Vincent de Paul Society soup kitchen on 15th Street. That's where Mo was Friday. Another spot for the displaced tent dwellers was beside busy Martin Luther King Jr. Street.
Trouble was, both sites posed public safety hazards, St. Petersburg Police Chief Chuck Harmon said. A half-dozen motorists complained they almost struck homeless people or their tents on Martin Luther King Jr. Street.
Some people also smoked inside the tents, or lit small fires on which to cook, Harmon said. The makeshift shelters were pitched so close together that if one had ignited, the others might have, too, the chief said.
On Thursday evening, the tent dwellers were told the tents violated safety codes and had to come down. But some of the tents, or different ones, were back up Friday.
"There were some folks who decided they were going to test us today," Harmon said. "We decided to go out and just take them down."
Half of the dozen remaining tents were confiscated; the others were slashed to render them unusable, Harmon said.
"The intent was not to arrest anyone," Harmon said. "The problems weren't the people. It was the tents. To me it didn't make a difference if they were the Boy Scouts of America."
Harmon said officers had legal authority to confiscate or destroy the tents because they are allowed to remove a hazard that lies on a right of way, which is city property.
The Rev. Bruce Wright, an advocate for the homeless who has served as a liaison between the city and the tent dwellers, said a deal was brokered in which the dwellers on Martin Luther King Jr. Street could move to 15th Street. Harmon said no such deal existed.
Anthony Diglia thought otherwise. He had just carried his possessions from Martin Luther King Jr. Street and set up his tent beside 15th Street when it was slashed.
"I have no tent no more," he said. Reporter Stephen Thompson can be reached at (727) 823-3303 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Reporter Rod Challenger can be reached at (727) 536-8443.
Where are all of these freebies for working citizens?
We should eat the homeless.
Unfortunately, the flesh is too tough and salty.
Where are all of these freebies for working citizens?Firstly, I hate camping or anything resembling camping (in particular, sleeping under a tent on hard or lumpy ground) so I don't feel I could ever opt for these kind of freebies ...
The police are the armed extension of the government. What the government tells them to do, they do. Keeping innocent people safe from criminals is not part of their job. Enforcing the administration's policies is.
Take a look here about Dignity Village in Portland, Oregon --
Apparently the "homeless" are politically active, too...
Star Traveler
Gosh, remember those 8 years under Clinton where the homeless ceased to exist?
Destroying private property without paying retribution seems to be a growing police practice these days.
Sounds more like St. Petersburg Russia than St. Petersburg Florida!
The government no longer recognizes private property.
A bus ticket to Key West, and have a barrier on the freeway preventing them back onto the mainland. House the whole homeless population out there...and wait for a huricane.
Sounds more like St. Petersburg Russia than St. Petersburg Florida!>>>>
I read nearly all this before it dawned on me that it was Floridiyay, not Rooskie.
The cops should all be arrested for destruction of property.
"Harmon said officers had legal authority to confiscate or destroy the tents because they are allowed to remove a hazard that lies on a right of way, which is city property."
They had no legal authority to do so. They had authority to arrest the vagrants maybe, not destroy and steal their property.
UNLESS illegals are involved.
Then they are solicitous beyond belief.
Be quicker to offer them all jobs. You'll never see them again. ;)
Criminy, could we get something like this started here?
You're a wise man Jeeves.
Just what do you expect them to do? Dirty old tents bring nothing at the auctions. Now, drug dealers' expensive cars are another matter...
BERKELEY Carts stay cool as city takes heat on storage policy When the homeless lose or abandon stuff, it gets frozen
They gays would have no part of that.
The worth of the item isn't the issue. It's the destruction of property without due process of law that causes me concern.
Maybe they would be accepted by the community if we required the homeless to wear gerbil costumes.
Oh my Lord those links are over the top. The out of the doorways one says :
Dignity is a formerly mobile tent city in Portland, Oregon, well on its way to becoming a green, sustainable, urban village.
and also that the tent city of vagabonds has begun hosting weekly craft lessons in conjunction with the local high schools ?
Flea publik eudkashion !!!!!
Sometimes, squatters get lucky and find a squat which the landlord seems to have really abandoned. Police and neighbors have been dealt with successfully and after many months the landlord still hasn't complained or been seen. In that case, squatters might start laying plans for gaining adverse possession.
I'm a little surprised at the responses posted These people are breaking the law
True. But "Feed the Homeless to the Hungry" has long been my solution to both problems.
I suppose you'd oppose my holiday "Burn a Bums Box" campaign too then eh ?
Were the vagrants loitering on public or private property?
The uproar about this tent city has been going on for quite a while. They were given a chance to move to other quarters.
Typical "Community Policing" orthodox BS! Its never the perp.;
The bartender shouldn't have served the drunk driver that last drink...
Its not the shooter, its the easy availability of guns that is the problem...
Detroit makes it too easy to steal cars...
Its the tents...not the lazy no-goods that inhabit them.
Not a problem so long as you coordinate it with the annual "Return them to their owners" shopping cart roundup.
It's like the same old story....keep feeding the ducks and they will never leave. This time they were told to leave after refusing to do so. I see very little wrong with that.
Boy any "homeless post" sure brings out the bleeding hearts posters...what a bunch of KOS Kids needing to grow up.
I would have thought it was already pretty well marinated and seasoned. Although I have heard if it's not drinking wine, then you shouldn't use it in cooking.
It says city.
If it is not legal to camp, the police can do whatever they need to to chase the people out. Especially when they are knowingly violating the law.
"the man, who gave only a first name of Mo(pbuh),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I hope they are taxed like the rest of us, especially for their housing/land.
"Another spot for the displaced tent dwellers was beside busy Martin Luther King Jr. Street."
Marked on every tourist map from Albany to Zanesville...
Why not? I'm pretty sure sausage is currently made from homeless pigs.
They can not confiscate, or destroy private property w/o specific statutory authority. They did not have that, so what they did is a crime. It was theft and destruction of property.
You said -- "I hope they are taxed like the rest of us, especially for their housing/land."
You know..., property taxes in Oregon are on the high side. But, there is no sales tax. I'd rather keep the sales tax out of Oregon, myself. And the voters have voted against it over the years.
But, even with property taxes being what they are in Oregon, I mean -- how much is property tax going to be on a place that has no "real value"? I mean, tax a shelter that is worth $50 and will cost $100 to tear down and carry away (if need be). Well, yes then, maybe tax them. Okay, let's see one nickel a year in property taxes, maybe a dime -- I don't know (at the going rate).
All right -- let's see if we can find one or two bottles on the street to pay my property taxes per year. That should do it.
Oh..., of course, you do know that Oregon was the beginning of the "Bottle Bill" -- where you have to charge deposit on pop bottles (anything with carbonation). They figured, when they began that law that the "bums" would be the ones who "cleaned up" the different areas of the state by picking up the bottles for deposit (and they do!).
Well, so much for property taxes...
Star Traveler
This whole homeless tent city is the brainchild of a Rev. Bruce Wright.
He got people to donate the tents, in an attempt to set up a tent city and confront the city on the situation of the homeless.
The homeless in downtown St. Pete has been a huge problem because they flock to the city in the winter and disrupt downtown businesses. The are sanitation issues and property rights issues as they congregate downtown.
So this Rev. decided he was going to make a name for himself by "standing up" for the homeless. He's basically the instigator behind all the trouble. They even have picket lines of homeless demanding more "rights" in downtown St. Pete at the main entertainment complexes.
Here's the blog about the organization behind all the hub bub and organization of the homeless.
From the Rev.'s Bio: the groups he is affiliated with
He is a member in the following organizations: NAADAC, Poor Peoples Economic Human Rights Campaign, Critical Resistance, Every Church a Peace Church, League of Revolutionaries for a New America, St. Pete. For Peace, Food Not Bombs, Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless, Homeless Legal Defense Fund, Pinellas County Juvenile Justice Council, St. Pete. Task Force on Homelessness, and the St. Petersburg Ministerial Association
The article mentions efforts to get them to move. I could have predicted they wouldn't work.
Given that these people are generally mentally ill, they can't be dealt with in normal ways.

When I started my career in law enforcement in 1970, I dedicated myself to be the best deputy Emery County ever had. When I ran for sheriff in 1974, my goal was not to be one of the youngest sheriffs ever elected or to set a record for the sheriff that served the longest. My goal was to be the best sheriff that ever served Emery County. And to make Emery County dependent on no one for law enforcement and emergency services.
I have worked continuously to do that and to keep myself physically and mentally prepared to do my job. But most of all my success is credited to the good people I have to work with at the Sheriff's Office. As well as dedicated and well trained EMTs, firemen, search and rescue personnel and many other volunteers, a very loving understanding wife and very supportive family.
Not only was my goal to be the best sheriff but to be the very best public servant I could be by serving on boards and committees outside of law enforcement. I currently serve on the Emery County Travel Council, Castle Country Travel Council, Historical Preservation Committee, the State Emergency Services Operations Committee, the State Emergency Services Grants Committee, Castleview Hospital Board, President of the Utah Association of Counties 2004, and now as a board member. I am your public servant and I am at your service.
I have attended the FBI Academy, the National Sheriff's Academy, American Corrections Academy, and attend from 40-100 hours per year of law enforcement leadership and management training. Also, 32 years of successfully managing and running a correction facility, as well as 32 years of managing a successful law enforcement agency.
I am grateful for your past support and have a solid plan for your future.
Hello Citizens of Emery County.
My name is Gordon Bennett, and I am running for Emery County Sheriff. I was raised in Millard County where I had a great childhood. I worked in construction at the Hunter Power Plant for a short time and met my wife Darshan Childs of Orangeville.
I wanted to be a police officer since I was a young boy, and pursued this dream by working for Emery County Sheriff's Office, Fillmore City Police Department, Millard County Sheriff's Office, and the Utah Highway Patrol. I currently have 24 years of law-enforcement experience.
I have lived in Ferron for the past 18 years. I was a city councilman in Ferron City for six years. I was over the water department and the fire department and was instrumental in getting a much-needed fire station. I believe in being prepared for problems and disasters of any type and in having the necessary tools to combat them.
As a law enforcement officer, I specialized in alcohol and drug training and received many other types of training. I know that a police officer needs all the training possible to be professional. Some of the training I have received to prepare me to be your sheriff includes dispatch, corrections, civil process, drug recognition expert (DRE), emergency medical technician, training instructor school for police officers, and internal affairs training. I am a specialist in alcohol and drug training, and I am qualified as an expert witness in the identification of marijuana.
I retired from the Utah Highway Patrol last November and am currently employed with Consolidation Coal Company as a safety specialist. I love the law enforcement profession and would really enjoy being the next Sheriff of Emery County.

Located just 25 miles south of downtown Asheville is one of the country's largest apple growing areas. North Carolina is the 7th largest apple-producing state in the nation and Henderson County is the largest apple-producing county in North Carolina, growing 65% percent of them. You can visit many orchards along US Highway 64, just a few miles east of I-26 (between Hendersonville and Bat Cave) and best of all they are free. The apple harvest season runs from late August to late October, and many of the orchards are open daily. Several of the orchards offer tours and allow you to pick your own apples. Listed below are three orchards near Hendersonville, NC, that are within a few miles of each other.
To make your apple picking adventures easy, we have highlighted some of our Asheville Inn's favorites destinations. JH Stepp Farm's Hillcrest Orchard is a fourth generation, 70-acre working farm with beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains! Pick your own apples (or grapes or pumpkins) or shop in their Country Market that is open daily with apples, pumpkins, apple cider, apple butter, and apple gifts. Take a ride on the farm wagon on weekends through acres of orchard and Farmer Stepp's pumpkin patch and grape vines. Drink a cup of delicious local fresh apple cider. Eat beside the orchard in the picnic area. Open August-November – 221 Stepp Orchard Dr., Hendersonville, NC 828-685-9083
While at Lyda farms, meet "Grandma Lyda" and stroll through the farmyard where you'll see donkeys, goats, geese, ducks and chickens. They have crispy North Carolina apples straight from the orchard plus a large variety of pumpkins and winter squash (and other produce) that are great for eating or decorating. Beginning in mid-August, early varieties of apples such as Fuji, Gala, Ozark, and Gingergold are available. By Labor Day, Red and Golden Delicious apple varieties are available. In early October, Rome Beauty, Granny Smith, Stayman Winesap and Fuji apples are available. Open June – November. 3465 Chimney Rock Rd, Hendersonville, NC 828-685-3459
Grandad's Apples has pre-picked apples (peaches and pumpkins too!) or pick your own in the orchards. In Grandad's pumpkin patch you will find pumpkins and jack o'lanterns in every size and shape. At Grandad's Barn and Country Store, you will find a great selection of fall harvest decorations, apple peelers, apple bakers, and other apple gifts. Enjoy apple turnovers, apple bread, caramel apples and a whole lot more. And, don't forget to try a refreshing cider slush or some hot cider! Explore their five acre corn maze. After visiting five different way stations, your corn maze adventure will be complete! Open August to mid-November. 2951 Chimney Rock Rd., Hendersonville, NC 828-685-1685
As our guest at this Asheville NC Inn, you can experience local apple fare (we serve mostly organic and local fare when and where available) and match our freshly made desserts with the season. During the harvest season, our most popular dessert is the coconut apple cake made from locally procured orchards. This homemade delicacy is moist and delicious with a caramel glaze and is a guest favorite. No one said that an apple a day can't come with a whole lot of caramel and coconut goodness.
For information about fall reservations at our Asheville Inn and Bed and Breakfast, visit www.PinecrestBB.com or call 888-811-3053.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Detroit president and general manager Dave Dombrowski confirmed that the family of Tigers pitcher Brayan Villarreal was the subject of a kidnapping attempt Friday night in Venezuela.
"Everybody is unharmed, and Villarreal is in camp," Dombrowski said.
An initial report said the family was the subject of a kidnapping attempt; a subsequent report quoted Villarreal's agent as saying robbers broke into the family's home and threatened at gunpoint to kidnap the family if any member of it said anything to the police.
Speaking shortly before the Tigers game against the host Atlanta Braves, Dombrowski said that Villarreal is in Tigers camp and "isn't going back" to Venezuela in the wake of the attack.
Villarreal's agent, Hector Gomez, told ESPNDeportes.com that three armed robbers attacked Villarreal's family home about 100 miles from Caracas.
"The guys put a gun in the mouth of Brayan's father and his little 14-year-old brother, threatening they would return and kidnap everybody if they said anything to the police," Gomez told ESPNDeportes.
Police were alerted by a neighbor.
"When the authorities reached the house to investigate if something was going on, they threatened everyone to not open the door," Gomez said.
Asked if Villarreal's family would be coming to join him in the U.S., Dombrowski said he couldn't comment further.
It is not clear if Villarreal would pitch as scheduled in relief Monday against Houston.
"We'll play that by ear, like you do when you have any disruption because of a personal issue," manager Jim Leyland said.
Kidnapping attempts are regarded as shockingly common in Venezuela. In November of 2011, Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos was kidnapped in Venezuela. He was rescued from a remote, mountainous region in the country after a gunfight between his captors and police.
At the time, ABC News reported, "Ramos may be the highest profile symbol of the growing, and some say epidemic, problem of kidnapping for ransom in Venezuela. Hundreds of such abductions occur each year."
Villarreal, 25, has pitched out of the bullpen for the Tigers in each of the last two seasons and is a candidate to make this year's team.

Why is the accent ἔπαρον and ἔξελθε (on the antepenult - proparoxytone) when the general rule for verbs is that an accent cannot move past the division between the compounding preposition and the root? Smyth explains some of the very common oddball verbs below (see bolded text) But the accent is also recessive on a verb like ἔκβαλε (2 AOR), ἔξελε (2 AOR, εξαιρεω) and even ἔκβαλλε (Present). So, in Imperatives the normal "not-before-the-compound" rule is thrown out?
424 b. Imperatives.—(1) The second person sing. of the second aorist active imperative of five verbs is oxytone: εἰπέ say, ἐλθέ come, εὑρέ find, ἰδέ see, λαβέ take. Their plurals are accented εἰπέτε, ἐλθέτε, etc.; compounds have recessive accent: κάτειπε, ἄπελθε, ἔφευρε, παράλαβε.

|Check-in before
It is very nice place in good location. The owner was very helpful.
We enjoyed our stay at Fotis very much. He is a kind and helpful host who gave us lots of support like transport at arrival
and departure from/to the tram station. His place is equipped with all necessary things we needed for our stay. The small
balcony was nice for relaxing after long sightseeing tours. Fotis lives in the same building so in case of any question he can
be contacted directly. We found nearby the apartment all necessary shops and there are also many different cafes and
restaurants. On Wednesdays there is a market very close to the flat where you can buy fresh fruits, vegetables, fish ...
Very nice! We would book the apartment again. Thank you, Fotis!
Nice and spacious flat in a beautiful surrounding with short distance to local transport.
The host Fotis was very kind and helpfull with tips for our stay in Athens.
It is a good apartment to discover Athens. Two minutes from the tram that leaves you in just 15 minutes in the center of Athens.
I have only words of thanks for Fotis. He came to pick up at the tram stop and offered us all the necessary information to move freely around Athens.
everything was perfect! we had a really good time there! Air-conditioning, clean flat and the apartment is in a really good position. there are everything you need near the apartment.
Thanks for everything!
We (2 adults and 3 children aged 14, 16, 18) had a wonderful stay in this spacious and well equipped apartment. Athens centre is easily reached by a tram that takes you straight to Syntagma in 20 minutes, or to a metro station in 10 minutes with connections to the Acropolis, Syntagma and the airport. If you take the tram the other way, you reach Athens' beaches in 20 minutes.
Within a few minutes' walking distance you have a bakery, a super market and the town centre of Nea Smyrni with plenty of shops and restaurants.
The owner Fotis is very friendly and always ready to answer your questions.
All in all very good value.
Nice apartment with good localisation. :)
Fotis was an excellent host & gave our group great advice for exploring Athens. The flat was well located next to the tram in a quiet area, and was clean, bright & spacious for our group of 4. The balcony was excellent & although a bit out of the city center, the tram was less than 5 min walk & I'd recommend this flat for anyone staying in Athens!
Great place, i lived here for more than a month. I stayed there alone and the apartment was perfect for me, since i lived there for a fairly long time. It would certainly be nice for a couple too.
The area is very cozy, close to the park and with walking distance to the metro.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.

Neo Pro DPS: our new gloves ready for the new season by Aaron› 10 Aug 2012
With Manchester City kicking off in the Community Shield on Sunday, the 2012/13 season will be underway, with Joe Hart sure to be playing a big part in between the sticks. With a new season, comes new kits, new football boots – and new goalkeeper gloves. Sunday's game will see the Umbro Neo Pro goalkeeper gloves make their debut, and they'll be worn by top keepers such as Joe Hart and Jack Butland throughout the new football season.
The Umbro Neo Pro DPS gloves are also going to be on sale from the Umbro website from this Sunday, for any aspiring keepers wanting to grab our finest gloves for their own games this season.
Crafted from a lightweight, tight fitting neoprene fabric,
the Neo Pro gloves also feature a breathable structured mesh fabric on the
fingers, keeping a goalkeeper's most important assets comfortable in all
The DPS in the Neo Pro gloves stands for Digit Protection System, an additional layer of rigid protection for your fingers inserted into the main body of the gloves. With a structured punch-zone on the back of the gloves adding extra protection and increased distance for your clearances, the Neo Pro gloves also feature an extended palm zone which makes it easier for keepers to gather the ball and then turn defence into attack as quickly as possible.
In a classically smart white and royal blue colourway, the Neo Pro DPS keep your hands secure and let your football do the talking. They'll be on sale here at Umbro.com from Sunday.

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
There may be no greater maverick than Terry Allen in all of country music from the mid-'70s onward. Along with Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, and Butch Hancock -- all of whom he's known and collaborated with -- Allen is a standard-bearer of the Lubbock, TX, country scene. Though not widely heralded, this is perhaps the most progressive movement in all of contemporary country, digging into modern-day concerns with a gutsy, liberal perspective, while maintaining a firm musical grounding in regional country and folk traditions. Allen is perhaps the most ambitious of them all, writing complex song cycles that have been performed with the help of fellow eclectics ranging from Lowell George to David Byrne.
Allen's audience, like those of the other Lubbock pioneers, is not the country mainstream. Indeed, his principal appeal may not lie with the country audience at all (though his music definitely is country), but with open-minded alternative folk and rock listeners. Unlike most current country artists, his words aim to question and confront hard day-to-day realities, rather than offer conservative clichés or maudlin comforts to shield listeners from those very day-to-day realities. He does so with a humor and irreverence that will also find little sympathy in Nashville or Middle America.
Country music is just one of Allen's artistic pursuits, perhaps accounting to some degree for his wide perspective. The renaissance man is also an internationally recognized artist with three NEA grants and a Guggenheim Fellowship to his credit. He's also a true multimedia performer, having done work in the mediums of painting, sculpture, film, video, installation, theater, and poetry. Just a few of his more interesting projects, for instance, were writing the music for Amerasia, a film about American servicemen living in Thailand after the Vietnam War; writing a new national anthem (with Ely, Hancock, and Gilmore) in conjunction with a book about Vietnam; and collaborating with his wife, Jo Harvey Allen, as well as Ely and Hancock, on the production of the acclaimed stage play Chippy.
But Allen is not a country music dilettante, having written songs for Bobby Bare and Robert Earl Keen. Outside of the strict country sphere, he wrote "New Delhi Freight Train" for Little Feat, and contributed a few songs to the soundtrack of David Byrne's True Stories film. The cinema has always been an inspiration or influence upon Allen's work. His first album, Juarez (from the mid-'70s), was a conceptual work that originated as a soundtrack to an imaginary film, evolving in performance to a set of songs inspired by Mexican imagery.
Released in 1979, Lubbock (On Everything) is considered his most significant album. Inspired by his experiences growing up in the Texas town, it won praise for observing the details of regional life and characters with a sensitivity and wit more akin to rock and folk singer/songwriters than country ones. Allen's music (if not his lyrical content), however, remains very much in the Texan country tradition.
With many artistic projects always in the works, Allen has never had the need to record frequently. His singing and songwriting prowess remained undimmed, though, on 1996's Human Remains. He also expanded his musical horizons significantly with support from such noted stars and cult figures as David Byrne, Lucinda Williams, Ponty Bone, Lloyd Maines, and Joe Ely. Salivation followed in 1999.

Skip to comments.Sensors to calculate oil flow rate deployed ( Gulf Oil Spill )
Posted on 06/13/2010 10:46:41 AM PDT by Ernest_at_the_Beach
(CNN) -- Sensors to measure the pressure of oil gushing from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico were being deployed Sunday to give the government a better idea of how much oil is flowing, according to the Obama administration's point man on the environmental disaster.
Researchers recently doubled estimates of how much oil has been flowing from the ruptured well, saying last week that up to 40,000 barrels -- or 1.7 million gallons -- a day may have leaked for weeks.
Sensors will be placed at the pipe and will help in estimating the flow rate, said Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen.
"We actually are going to be deploying sensors down there today that will start taking pressure readings," Allen said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation."
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
I think it's gonna be less than what they expect...No matter....they're looking for the highest number possible...cuz that's how the fine will be determined.
The only reason to know the pressure and estimate flow is to figure out home much they want to fine BP..it will do nothing to stop the flow.
Watch for BP stock to get hit this evening in London.
The only thing that I agree with that Obama has done is call for a third party to determine damage liability...either a third party of FEMA should be doing it.
BTW..I am going to claim against BP for losses in my energy stocks..not HAL,RIG or BP, but other stocks that have taken a hit a result. They should pay me.
Based on what principle, sir?
LOL ... why actually do something when you can figure out how much money to steal. I am sure this is really important. I see Obama as the incompetent spill leader has a trouble with priorities.
I wonder why Obama doesn't waive the Jones Act. Seems to me containing the spill in the region of the well would be far better than scrapping it up off the beaches.
If you think he cares about anyone...you're kidding yourself.
Why was this NOT done the first few days? Common sense says to know the size of the leak up front!!
Now we why Daddy hasn't plugged the hole yet.
Now we KNOW why Daddy hasn't plugged the hole yet. [corrected]
And it only took'em 55 days to figure that out.
That's almost like REAL science!
"In order to install the instruments they had to remove parts from the BOP that were being used for other things at the time."
I thought they had ultrasonic flow sensors that could read in the pipe.
And let a perfectly good crisis go without maximum impact?
There is no good way to measure the flow rate unless they can figure out a way to run it through a pipe.
If you know the cross-sectional area of the pipe and you know the exit velocity of the fluid, it's trivial to figure out the flow. This was easily done from the camera information before the cap went on. Now, you'd have to have some idea as to how thick the ring of oil gushing around the cap is, but you could probably come pretty close with the same calculation. Estimating the thickness of the oil annulus might be done from the geometry of the cap, or possibly from a view of the oil flow from a different perspective.
Quantity of flow = area of flow x velocity at exit point.
The casing took a jolt from the rig sinking there is a leak some 6 miles away coming up through the sea floor but who knows this needs stopped deep down by the two wells being drilled right now.
"This was easily done from the camera information before the cap went on."
Was it done?
A number of people with expertise in fluid flow (although this is a simple calculation) said that the flow was several times the given figure of 5000 bpd. It was done. Was it done "officially?" Who's to say?
Some even say it was there all along. I for got - for pressure they need a tap into the casing as far as i know there is no way to measure it externally.
"Some even say it was there all along. I for got - for pressure they need a tap into the casing as far as i know there is no way to measure it externally."
Could be and for the exact pressure You are right, I believe.
How does the pressure give them the velocity?
Sorry, I am a math dunce.
cause pressure drop is the driving force for determining the flow rate.
W = K * (dp)^.5
Using this formula, the flow rate is determined by a constant (K) and the square root of the pressure drop.
A more general formula is:
W = 1891 * d^2 * (dp * rho / K ) ^.5
where K is f * L / D
In this formula,
the little d is the diameter of the pipe in inches.
rho is the density of the fluid
K is the resistance of the piping. It is calculated from the friction factor (f); the length of the pipe in feet (L) and the diameter of the pipe in feed (D).
since all of these terms (except the pressure drop) are constants, once they are calculated, they can be used to reduce the equation to the first, more simple term.
>>> Why was this NOT done the first few days? Common sense says to know the size of the leak up front!! <<<
No, common sense says the leak was huge, put all your efforts into stopping the leak. There is plenty of time later to estimate how big it was.
>>> There is no good way to measure the flow rate unless they can figure out a way to run it through a pipe. <<<
and fortunately the flow just so happens to be running through a pipe. A nice long pipe that runs through the ground.
So all they have to do is to get the sensors down into the existing pipe, before the leak, and voila, they have the answer between how much is getting into the boat and how much is going into the ocean.
"No, common sense says the leak was huge, put all your efforts into stopping the leak. There is plenty of time later to estimate how big it was."
Exactly and the same with bashing BP now is the time to help not drive them out of business. there is a time and place for that after the leaking is under control.
I read an article yesterday quoting a BP official as saying the extra containment apparatus they hope to have installed next month will bring the total oil captured up to 2 MILLION GALLONS DAILY. Yes, you read that correctly.
that tells me that it is spewing AT LEAST 2 MILLION GALLONS DAILY.
I'm sure BP and our govt. have known the flow since April 21.
2 million gallons is a shade under 50,000 barrels. That's a major well—I wonder about the size of the reservoir they hit.

The retailer makes its first appearance in the top 10 of a mobile performance index.
Bill Siwicki
American Eagle Outfitters Inc. has not been a top performer in the Keynote Mobile Commerce Performance Index. But for the week ending April 7, the apparel retailer jumped nine spots on the 30-retailer index to make its first appearance in the top 10. Coming in at No. 10, the merchant's mobile commerce site home page loaded on average in 11.23 seconds and did so completely and successfully 99.87% of the time. Weighting and then combining load time and success rate earns the retailer an index score of 741 out of 1,000.
"American Eagle cut down extra page objects and optimized its site for a better mobile experience," says Venkatesh Giri, mobile performance expert at Keynote. "Its mobile home page is serving up 30 objects which add up to 220 kilobytes." Page objects include, among other things, images, boxes of text, tracking pixels and JavaScript.
American Eagle Outfitters is making use of some mobile design techniques that greatly aid performance. For example, it has combined all of the icons and images on the page into a sprite file, Keynote says. A sprite is a web programming technique that enables multiple images to be saved as one, thus reducing the number of web server calls required, and as a result shaving time off of page loads.
The merchant also is using a technique called data URI, Keynote says. URI stands for universal resource identifier, a string of characters used to identify a web resource such as an image. Data URI is a scheme of encoding data within a web page that make up page elements such as images or Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, a mark-up language used to define pages and denote where elements appear on a page. With multiple elements encoded within a page, no extra HTTP server request is made to fetch the embedded elements as opposed to a request for each element.
Keynote adds that the images on the m-commerce site home page are scaled properly to render on a smartphone screen.
"Cutting down on unwanted objects without compromising the look and functionality of the site is the first and foremost mobile optimization technique that improves page load times and provides customers with a great mobile experience," Giri says. "American Eagle has done an admirable job."
American Eagle Outfitters, No. 118 in the Internet Retailer Mobile 400, did not respond to a request for comment.
Barnes & Noble topped the index with a load time of 4.43 seconds and a success rate of 99.87% for a score of 950. W.W. Grainger Inc. came in second with a load time of 4.26 seconds and a success rate of 99.50% for a score of 842. And HSN Inc. came in third with a load time of 6.84 seconds and a success rate of 99.75% for a score of 838.
BarnesandNoble.com Inc. is No. 31 in the Internet Retailer Mobile 400, Grainger is No. 76 and HSN is No. 14.
The index average load time was 8.85 seconds, the average success rate was 99.33% and the average score was 648.
Click here and then click on Keynote Mobile Commerce Performance Index Part 1 and Part 2 to see this week's complete results for all 30 retailers on the index.
Keynote Systems measures 30 representative m-commerce sites exclusively for Internet Retailer. The sites include merchants in multiple categories and channels, and of multiple sizes, ranging from such giants as Amazon.com Inc. to midsized retailers like Toolfetch.com LLC. Keynote tests the sites in the index every hour Monday through Sunday from 8 a.m. through midnight Eastern time, emulating three different smartphones on three different wireless networks: Apple Inc.'s iPhone 4 on AT&T, the HTC Evo on Sprint and the Droid X on Verizon. The HTC Evo and the Droid X run Google Inc.'s Android operating system. Keynote runs the tests in New York and San Francisco.
Keynote combines a site's load time and success rate, equally weighted, into a single score. Given that both performance and availability are important, the score reflects the overall quality of the home page; a higher score indicates better performance. Scores also reflect how close sites are to each other in overall quality. The index average score is the midpoint among all the sites' scores.
Keynote is ranked No. 2 among web performance monitoring firms in Internet Retailer's Leading Vendors to the Top 1000 E-retailers guide.

The Escape: Stephanie LaCava's L.A. Getaway
WORK APPOINTMENTS One of the best aspects of my job is finding new international talent to feature on Moda Operandi. I have the chance to see the latest collections from Patrícia Viera and Isolda when I go to Brazil, and from Josh Goot when I'm in Australia.
WEEKEND EXCURSIONS Back home in New York, I take road trips upstate with my husband. We stop at little towns in the Hudson Valley. We often fantasize about buying a house, and we love to explore and shop for vintage items for our apartment. I've found so many things that I didn't know I needed until I saw them—like a florist's sink that I converted into a shelf.
I can't wait to wear my tailored Stella Jean sundresses—they're so easy—as well as the amazing Christopher Kane pieces I got for spring. And I'm obsessed with the Fritz wooden sunglasses I found on my travels in Australia.
When I go to Australia, I stop by Bassike, which carries my favorite pants: a drop-crotch skinny jean. In Brazil, I explore the vintage stores. I found so much beautiful jewelry the last time I was there. Every trip to Paris I make sure there's time, even if it's just an hour, to visit the Marché aux Puces St.-Ouen. I always have to find creative gifts to take back to New York. I recently rediscovered one of my favorite artists, Dominique Dubien, there. I need to get more pieces from him.

Skip to comments.What did Republicans win in the immigration deal? (No guarantee on border security!!)
Posted on 01/28/2013 11:46:05 AM PST by Bigtigermike
click here to read article
A porous American border is the only thing that keeps the Mexican economy afloat. Mexico can cut millions off their own welfare rolls by encouraging surplus population to go north and consumer demand in Mexico is increased by money that is sent by illegals back to their families south of the border. Mexico gets all the benefit and America takes the hit. If amnesty is granted, there will be another 20 million flood across the border in the next 5 years.
So Rush is helping Rubio.
"So Rush is helping Rubio."
Without a doubt.
Rush has always been worthless in the fight to rid ourselves of the foreign nationals who have planted themselves in America in defiance of the law.
Some of the movers in the Prop 187 fight tried to get him involved as early as 1994 and he always had a lame excuse.
He wouldn't even take calls on the subject.
It wasn't until we melted the Senate phone lines when Bush the Useless tried to ram amnesty through that Rush got around to yelling "wait! wait! I am your leader!"
And like every pretender the thing he focuses on is "sealing the border". The real issue is deporting those who are here. The people afraid of the D word are just wasting our time.
"Nothing but demographic gain for Dems... 11 million new voters for them, and what, exactly for Repubs?"
That "11 million" number has been trotted out for 20 years.
A Wall Street investment firm ran its own study some years back that had no political agenda, just a desire to estimate the size of the illegal alien 'market' in the US. That number was close to 30 million.
"I am no fan of Rubio but why single him out? He has always been in favor of immigration reform."
No he hasn't. When he was in Florida he scuttled attempts by Florida Republicans to address the issue.
What he has always been for is Latino exception to the law. He's a Jeb Bush protege.
Sorry, I misread your post. I definitely agree with you.
Reading your post i was wondering where we differed. The whole issues is largely about Latino's anyway.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Education released educator effectiveness data for the 2012-13 school year today. Today's release marks the first time this type of data has been gathered or released in Indiana History. The data show that over 87% of public school educators (teachers and administrators combined) were rated as either effective or highly effective while only 3% were rated as either needs improvement or ineffective. The remaining 10% did not receive a final evaluation due to circumstances such as resignation, or retirement.
"I am encouraged by these numbers," said Glenda Ritz, Superintendent of Public Instruction. "For the most part, they confirm what we already knew: that public schools throughout Indiana are filled with effective and highly effective teachers. Research shows that highly effective educators are exactly the type of leaders that can turn schools around and increase school performance.
"However, they also show us where we can improve. For example, when comparing the data by school performance grades A to F, there is an increase in the percentage of educators who fall within the improvement necessary and ineffective categories and the percentage that do not receive a final rating, indicating a retention concern in our lower performing schools.
"Finally, there is a marked decrease in the percentage of highly effective educators between schools that receive an A and those that receive an F. 32% of teachers in A schools are rated as highly effective, in comparison to just 11% in schools that received an F. Highly effective educators are vital to school turnaround and my Department will be working to address this gap moving forward."
The data, including educator effectiveness broken down by school corporation and school can be found here.
