Woman describes riding on car hood down interstate
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - A woman who was seen hanging on to the hood of a car traveling down Interstate 85 didn't think she would survive the ordeal.
"When I was on top of the car, all I was thinking is that I didn't want to die," Leidy Amu told Channel 2's Kerry Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh was invited to speak with the 19-year-old at the studios for Atlanta's 96.5 La Mega. Amu described the horrifying moments she spent on the hood of the SUV as it raced down the interstate.
Police said Amu's boyfriend, Jonathan Salas, was going as fast as 80 mph as she was clinging to the hood Tuesday afternoon.
"And I was begging him, and I was praying to God to not let me fall off that car," Amu said.
As Kavanaugh reported Thursday, several concerned drivers spotted the SUV and heard Amu screaming for help.
"I thought they were shooting a movie. I was like, 'This just can't be real,'" Blake Wilbanks said.
He said he and several other drivers paced the jeep, eventually boxing it in, leading the driver to the exit ramp.
"I am really thankful that they helped me. If it wasn't for them, I would be dead," Amu said.
She said she and Salas were arguing at his apartment. He needed to leave, but she didn't want him go, so she hopped on the hood to stop him.
She said her boyfriend, who was arrested on aggravated assault charges, isn't a bad person and that she had a chance to get off the hood before the vehicle reached the interstate.
"I was the one who provoked him," Amu said.
She said Salas first drove around several side streets and stopped, but she didn't get off.
Amu's mother told Kavanaugh in Spanish that she has expressed to her daughter several times her concern over her relationship with Salas, but Amu continues to defend her boyfriend in Tuesday's incident.
"We all make mistakes," Amu said.

Arsenal weighing up move for Liege keeper Guillaume Hubert - sources
Arsenal are tracking Standard Liege's Belgian goalkeeper Guillaume Hubert, sources close to the North London club have told ESPN FC.
The Gunners have sent scouts to watch Belgium under-21 international Hubert on several occasions and were again represented at Sunday's draw with Gent.
The 6-foot-6 goalkeeper is highly rated and came through the ranks at Standard Liege.
Arsenal are considering their long-term goalkeeping options with Petr Cech now 34 and the future of No. 2 David Ospina uncertain.

Still giving gone away from invites to the Xbox Preview Program to all u IGNers. Just combine me on Xbox Live GT: DrunkAnd0nDrugz and rush me a message. In anyhow you didn't remember, it allows you to attempt into public notice the new regressively compatibility characteristic near the start aswell and later updates settle upon register the new UI and other goodies. It also gives you a speculation to forbear make Xbox Entire well-advised b wealthier on all of us!
I dream up a woman of the coolest things around this is the experience that we won't be needing our 360 discs in the tray to show the games. I have a huge library of downloaded games (more or less thanks to GWG) but I also take a huge accumulation of discs. It wish be friendly to procure a digital sample of them in my Xbox One.
That would be entirely disappointing. It's there point they stopped asking us to do this when we're already false to install. The X1 doesn't play games wrong the disc, and they're growing to pry us to download a digital manifestation of our 360 games anyway. Why not ditch the disc requirement? They're a injury company, I'm unfaltering they can find a equivalent to to invent that happen.
Because then 1 disc could be passed surrounding to hundreds of users...... But i assent to, it would be better to not essential the disc. Good-natured of like how xbox a person was initially designed to work...install the disc, then gormandize it away....... prior to the entire DRM fiasco. Trendy we have a calm that isn't "always online", in an stage where games are unplayable without sizeable patches, and VARIOUS games require an online friend at court anyway. I was freaked out about the drm policies too, but there were some innovative ideas buried in there.
It's simple. A at one period activation when you beginning download it. If you pass it everywhere or hawk it and someone else activates it, yours stops working and you have to steal it to play. You'll say well what if you unplug your soothe so it's not online. Then you get to about b dally that game. Fine.

Morning Gold Market Report 8/28
Compiled 08/28/12 6:00 AM (CT)
Statistics: London Gold Fix $1,663.50 -$3.00 LME Copper Stocks 234,200 tons -1,350 tons
GOLD MARKET FUNDAMENTALS: (6:00 AM CST) December gold prices started out under noted pressure overnight, but were able to reject the brunt of the downside thrust. With the Euro higher, it wouldn't seem like residual concerns toward the EU were behind the range down washout in gold prices overnight. Perhaps ongoing fears of a hard landing in China were behind the initial weakness but gold prices seemed to sag after Asia had established a marginally weaker pattern. Perhaps gold was undermined by news that a key EU leader wasn't planning to attend the US Fed symposium later this week.
Given the weakness overnight, gold might need to see something positive from the US scheduled report front just to keep a risk off attitude from settling into the metals complex. Some gold traders are hopeful that the Fed will provide a measure of macro economic confidence later this week, while others think that the gold trade is currently in need of more evidence of progress in handling the EU sovereign debt crisis before buyers will find renewed buying interest in gold.
Some economists think that the private home price report from the US today will show another marginal gain and general expectations call for a minor rise in US Consumer Confidence readings and that news could provide gold with a lift off ideas that the US economy is holding together. However, positive economic news could also undermine gold if the trade decides to down grade US easing prospects as a result of today's news.
Comex Gold Stocks were 11.046 million ounces up 196,989 ounces. Stocks have declined 12 of the last 20 days.
OUTSIDE MARKET DEVELOPMENTS: (6:00 AM CST) Chinese equity markets were mixed overnight with shares attempting to rebound on extremely low trading volume. In fact, Shanghai shares reached the lowest levels in 3 1/2 years before recovering and that suggests the fear of a hard landing was revisited Chinese investors once again.
European stocks were slightly weaker this morning off lingering concerns of slowing in Spain, but shares were being underpinned by hope of something supportive from the Fed symposium later this week.
US shares continued to outperform the rest of the world, as investors have been spurred on by a surprise increase in merger and acquisition moves.
The US economic report slate today is fairly active, with a private home price survey release, Consumer confidence and a Richmond Fed Manufacturing Survey.

My Client-First Philosophy
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional – integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a Houston real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.

I use a CBST with a G19. When tucked, its in the 300-330 position. When not tucked, I bring it closer to 300.
When I do tuck, all the shirt goes in except around the holster, no gun. I then button the pants, place the gun in the holster, fasten belt and tuck around the gun and holster. Loosen the weak side to match the strong side and move on. I have no pain when tucked, so I'm not sure what causing that. Hope you find something that works for you.

An aspiring model who just celebrated her 21st birthday and her roommate were killed Sunday when the car they were in stalled on Interstate 85.
Ashley Elizabeth Carruthers, who turned 21 on Friday, and Andrew Kaye Schmuck, a 32-year-old father, were killed instantly when a truck slammed into the rear-end of the 1992 Ford Taurus they were in, Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore said.
The only person to survive in the Taurus was 20-year-old Tristan Parris Lavelle. He was in critical condition at the Greenville Memorial Hospital early Monday, Shore said.
Carruthers, Schmuck and Lavelle were all roommates in a Greenville apartment. They had been to Atlanta and were headed back home when their car stalled in a middle lane of I-85 northbound, near mile marker 20, at 9:15 p.m., Shore said.
Mile marker 20 is between the Clemson Boulevard and Liberty Highway exits in Anderson.
Schmuck was driving the car. Lavelle and Carruthers, who were dating, were in the backseat of the car. Officials are not sure if the three were wearing seat belts when the crash occurred.
"When we talked to Andrew's father, he was surprised that his son was driving the car, because it had been in the shop," Shore said. "We're looking into what it had been in the shop for. Something happened for him to stop or to slow down in the middle lane of the interstate."
Shahram Lalianpour, a 55-year-old Gaffney man, was driving the truck that crashed into the Taurus. His vehicle glanced off the back of the other car and came to rest in a wooded area off to the right of the interstate.
Lalianpour was taken to AnMed Health Medical Center. He had been treated and released as of Monday morning, hospital spokeswoman Heidi Charalambous said.
Shore said officials are looking for a man who was driving a Corvette. The man stopped at the scene and helped those who were hurt. He left once medical personnel arrived, but he may have been a witness to the crash.
The crash at mile marker 20 was the second wreck to occur on I-85 Sunday.
The other accident — at mile marker 40 — occurred at around 9 p.m. In that incident, according to witnesses, a vehicle was speeding up and slowing down repeatedly until a tractor trailer came upon it from behind and collided with it.
The front bumper of the tractor trailer went through the vehicle and came to rest against the back of the driver's seat, according to witnesses.
The driver of that car was carried to Greenville Memorial Hospital, where he remained in critical condition early Monday, Shore said.
Shore and South Carolina Highway Patrol troopers did not have any further information on that wreck early Monday.

Jacobson trotted home as the Hawkeyes walked Maezes to force in the run.
Iowa came back with a run in the sixth and two in the seventh. The Hawkeyes looked to tie the game as, with a runner on second, Taylor Kaufman singled to left. Sophomore Zach Zott (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion) came up with the grounder and threw a strike to junior catcher Cole Martin (Bay City, Mich./John Glenn), who put the tag on Jake Yacinich to end the inning.
In the ninth, sophomore Matt Ogden (Aurora, Colo./Smoky Hill) gave up a leadoff single. A sacrifice bunt and hit-by-pitch followed. The Hawkeyes put runners on second and third after a groundout, but Ogden beared down to strike out Trevor Kenyon to end the game and record his second save of the year.

What to do (and not to do) with your Medicare primary care incentive payments
Well, the first round of payments under Medicare's primary care incentive program are finding their way into primary care physicians' offices around the country. Hopefully, you were eligible and have received a check of your own as you read this post. If so, please allow me to share a piece of unsolicited advice, based on a recent inquiry that I had on the subject.
Last month, I received an e-mail from a member asking for some help in how to record the multiple payments that are a product of Medicare's primary care incentive program (sometimes referred to as Medicare's 10 percent primary care bonus). In particular, the member asked if the practice had to enter payments into each patient account or could simply add them as a lump sum into an account designated for the purpose.
After consulting with a couple of my colleagues, both of whom have previous experience in physician billing and practice management, I advised the member that it is not necessary to attribute the bonus payment(s) to individual accounts. Rather, I advised the practice to simply record the incentive payment(s) as additional income to the practice in their accounting system, without the need of tying those incentive payment(s) back to individual accounts in the practice management system. My colleagues and I believe that this approach is consistent with the way the Medicare views the incentive payments; we do not believe that Medicare expects physicians to connect the incentive payment(s) to individual beneficiary accounts.
As I told the member in question, I hope that this advice is helpful. And if you need any advice on how to spend your incentive payments, I am happy to provide a few suggestions from my wish list to help you with that dilemma, too!

Four reasons to participate in PQRS quality reporting
When the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) rolled out the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative in 2007, the likelihood of a return on investment in the face of the complexity of the program deterred many physicians from participation. Many who participated did not receive an incentive payment. The program is now renamed as the Physician Quality Reporting System, or PQRS, and there may be reason to take another look at this opportunity to do quality reporting and, at least for now, to receive an incentive payment for doing so. In fact, I think there may be four reasons:
1. There are methods of reporting PQRS that have a much higher success rate and require less administrative work than the claims-based or individual measures reporting that are so labor intensive and prone to errors. EHR-based reporting is one option, but if you are not ready for that, registry-based reporting is another. This option requires using a registry to report on one measures group for 30 Medicare patients. The 2009 success rate for family physicians taking this approach was 97 percent. The success rate for claims-based reporting of three individual measures was 47 percent.
2. The AAFP has partnered with CECity to offer a discounted price for use of a web-based registry and reporting tool, PQRI-wizard, which CMS has designated as a qualified registry for PQRS reporting. This tool allows family physicians and their staff to enter data for one measures group into the registry program for the required 30 Medicare patients and receive validation alerts to avoid submission errors. PQRI-wizard monitors your progress, calculates your measures and provides a printable, real-time report of your performance rates.
3. The incentive payment for successful PQRS participation in 2011 is one percent of total estimated allowed charges for Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) covered professional services furnished during that same period. In 2009, when the incentive payment was two percent of these charges, the average amount paid to family physicians was $1,126. Because the incentive is lower in 2011, the average may be around $550 per physician but will vary based on the Medicare charges billed per physician. The percent of charges on which the incentive payment is based is set to decrease until it is eliminated.
4. Beginning in 2015, a 1.5 percent penalty may be applied to physicians' MPFS payments for failure to satisfactorily report PQRS measures. The Affordable Care Act mandates that the MPFS amount paid during the year shall be reduced by 1.5 percent for 2015 and 2.0 percent for 2016 and each subsequent year for physicians and providers who have not successfully reported in the reporting period established by CMS.
I know that the incentive payment amount (less the fee for using a registry tool such as PQRI-wizard) is hardly an effective incentive. However, if you choose to attempt PQRS, why not use the reporting method that requires the least amount of your time and expertise and gives you a better chance at successful reporting? The return on your investment in PQRS reporting may be in the data itself – to show your quality of care and to inform quality initiatives that will support your practice in a value-based payment environment. In the May/June issue of FPM, Bruce Bagley, MD, and Jason Mitchell, MD, describe how to get started.

Shields and swords
What is the difference between a shield and a sword? Sometimes, it's hard to tell and may depend on where you sit. This point was driven home to me recently in an exchange of correspondence between the AAFP and Wisconsin Physician Services (WPS), the Medicare contractor that processes Part B claims in several Midwestern states.
Earlier this spring, the AAFP submitted comments to WPS regarding a draft local coverage determination (LCD) that WPS posted regarding home and domiciliary services (PDF download). The AAFP expressed at least four concerns with the LCD, and it was clear from our comments that our primary concern was that WPS would use the LCD as a sword to unfairly penalize physicians who do home visits.
Although WPS does not typically respond individually to comments made regarding draft LCDs, it did choose to respond to the AAFP comments in this case. In doing so, it noted that a review of medical records for claims submitted by Part B providers in place of service "home" when the beneficiaries were also concurrently being seen by a home health agency showed that the service billed by the Part B provider was seldom, if ever, the service actually rendered. WPS also shared statistics showing that utilization of home visit codes paid under the Medicare physician fee schedule was significantly higher in WPS's service area as compared to national averages, with financial implications for the Medicare trust fund. From the letter, it was apparent that WPS viewed the draft LCD as a shield designed to protect Medicare and its beneficiaries.
So, is the LCD a sword or a shield? The answer clearly depends on whom you ask and, ultimately, how it is used. In any case, the point of the story is that, when dealing with Medicare (and, likely, other payers, too), it is important to remember that there are often legitimate differences in perspective that must be acknowledged and addressed if true dialogue and progress is to occur.

Re: I hate my Life
William, please ignore all the people who have said bad things to you. If you learn how to ignore nasty comments now your life will be a lot easier.
When i read that you were 13 in your mini description on the left (below avatar), i thought it was a joke. I didn't think there was any way a 13 year old was writing the posts ive seen you contribute, but it seems that you are actually 13. I know things are looking bad in your life right now, but i'd like to accentuate some positives for you. You are obviously very smart and mature for your age, and these tools will be your assets that allow you to rise above the jackasses and succeed in life. Trust me, being smart is a great tool - and a horrible burden. Anyone can work out and become fit, strong, attractive watever. Not everyone can be smart. In fact, i think the reason you are so sad is because you are smart. Usually from what i have seen, the most depressed people are also the smartest.
A lot of people have told you that you are only 13, and that you have your whole life ahead of you - and this is true. I'm sure it doesn't make you feel any better about yourself though does it? Of course not. Once your mind gets overwhelmed with all the issues you may or may not have, it gets incredibly hard to come out of that slump. I know exactly how you feel, and i have felt exactly the same way before. In fact, until a few days ago, i was in one of the worst times in my life.
After i finished high school with medicore results (i didn't try for various reasons i'm not going into here), i enrolled in a Certifigate course in my local uni which would last for a year. About 6 months in i lost interest and decided to not show up or try. That was about 1 year ago. From about that point, I would do nothing but sit around all day playing games, smoking dope occasionly, eating food, going on the internet and get fatter. I was under the impression that, i was a nobody, had no life, had no future, and had no chance. I couldnt find a job. I couldnt get my licence. My marks were too garbage to go back to the uni i had just ditched. So, i just did nothing. It is hard to describe how much despair I had, and how much i felt that my situation was really hopeless, of course it wasn't, but i was too blind to see it. Recently i have woken up and decided to move so i can go to uni, and hopefully the rest of my life will get on track from there. My point is, until a few days ago, i was under the impression that my life was pretty much a failure. Now, i have hope for the future and plans. All i did, was get so fed up with myself, that i forced myself to change. If you really really hate the way you are now, then i suggest you take some action. It's not easy, in fact, i've yet to lose any weight, or get a girlfriend, but there is always time for that.
Don't let girlfriends get you down though. I've never had a girlfriend, but ive had sex with two different chicks. In my opinion, i skipped the race and got the trophy
It will happen for you, eventually. Everyone feels akward and stupid and ugly in puberty, but when you get a bit older you might gain a new perspective on things.
I was really picked on as a kid. I was overweight(still am but im over it), i had terrible acne, glasses, i thought i was ugly, people used to give me a lot of crap. No girls dated me, ever. I had no friends at some points, and at others i did have friends. All i have to say though, is that friends, girlfriends, looks, and all that are overrated. People place way too much importance on them, and some come with time. I think time is really the key factor here. You just have to wait for some things, and work on others. Your weight, for example, will not just dissapear. As for friends, well, it doesnt sound like you are going to meet any in school, so i think you will have to go randomly approach people and talk to them. This can be the hardest thing in the world when you have a low self esteem, but there really isn't any other way to make it happen. Apart from internet friends.
Basically, if you want anything bad enough, you can have it. I know things seem like they will never get better and your life is doomed, but things will get better. All you have to do is endure, and you will come out stronger because of it. If you only take one thing away from this post, take this: stop putting yourself down. It really doesn't help in any way, in fact it just lowers your self esteem more and more, until you have none left. Thinking positive is probably the most important thing. I don't know if any of this made sense but i tried to express myself, so i hope it helped in some way.
Good luck, let me know how things go for you.

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT
Generic Company Place Holder Canon EOS Rebel XT Digital SLR CameraTechHive Rating
It's fair to say that the Canon EOS Digital Rebel launched the now burgeoning field of digital single-lens-reflex cameras--mostly due to its breakthough price of under $1000. But since its release a year-and-a-half or so ago, the Digital Rebel has started to seem a little dowdy next to the latest SLRs from Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and Minolta. With the new Digital Rebel XT, Canon lost an opportunity to make it more professional-looking than its predecessor, but it did add the necessary internal improvements to put the Rebel XT among the top consumer SLRs.
The first of these enhancements--bumping up the resolution from 6.1 megapixels to 8 megapixels--was a no-brainer. Not because you can make huge enlargements, but because it gives you more latitude for cropping shots and keeping them sharp. I was able to crop an action shot of a rugby match by about 75 percent and still print a pretty sharp 5 by 7.
Both the Rebel and the Rebel XT do a fine job recording images--neck-and-neck in color and exposure accuracy in the shots I took out in the field. Changes in our lab tests preclude direct comparisons between the two cameras, but the Rebel XT earned the highest scores recorded to date for exposure, color accuracy, and overall quality. Its sharpness score put it in a statistical tie with a number of 6-, 7-, and 8-megapixel models.
The most impressive change in the XT is its speed: In burst-shooting mode and using high-speed CompactFlash media, the XT captured up to 20 shots at a steady 3 frames per second before its buffer filled and it slowed down to a little under 2 fps. The original Rebel fired four shots at around 2.4 fps, and then was too slow to make burst shooting truly viable. The two cameras sound differently in burst mode--the XT makes a noise like the well-built motor drives of high-end 35mm SLRs, while the original model clanks in a way that does not inspire confidence in its long-term durability.
Other improvements of note include the XT's capability to record images simultaneously in RAW and JPEG; its ability to adjust the color balance (along with automatic color-balance bracketing); and its size (the XT is considerably less bulky than its forebear--a difference that becomes very noticeable after a full day of shooting).
Canon made very few changes to the layout of the Rebel's controls and menus--they're relatively quick to change and easily interpreted. My minor gripes include the somewhat stiff selector dial and the small size of the text in the menus. I had a really hard time seeing the menu choices in bright sunlight. Call it vanity, but the Rebel XT's smooth plastic-like case (like the original Rebels) looks kind of cheap and fragile when compared to the metallic bodies of almost any other digital SLR. Canon's good call here was to offer a black-body version, which looks a little more professional.
Fast action, compact size, and great imaging makes the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT a top pick among inexpensive digital SLRs.

ITworld.com –
The popularity of banking online continues to grow in the U.S. with about 37 million Americans, or 32 percent of U.S. Internet users, now conducting banking transactions over the Internet, according to survey results released last week by the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
That compares with 14 million Americans who said they used online banking services in 2000, an increase of 164 percent in two years, according to the study posted on Pew's Web site last Thursday.
The convenience of banking online is what appeals to many, with 79 percent of the study's respondents saying that convenience was "very important" to their decision to first bank online, followed by 71 percent who felt that online banking saved them time, Pew said. Other factors included better control over finances, not having to talk to anybody, getting more information and saving money, Pew said.
The study found that men are somewhat more likely to bank online than women: 35 percent of male Internet users have done so, while 30 percent of female Internet users bank online, Pew said.
Younger and middle-aged Internet users are the most likely group to turn to online banking. According to the study, 33 percent of Internet users between 18 and 29 years old bank online, followed by 36 percent of Internet users between 30 and 49 years old, 27 percent of Internet users between 50 and 64 years of age and just 16 percent of Internet users age 65 and older, Pew said.
Education and income also play a role in determining who chooses to bank online: Forty-one percent of college graduate Internet users bank online compared to 23 percent of Internet users with a high school degree, Pew said. Forty-four percent of Internet users with household incomes of US$75,000 or more per year have banked online, compared to 21 percent of Internet users with household incomes of less than $30,000 per year, the study said.
In terms of race, 32 percent of white Internet users bank online, followed by 33 percent of Hispanic Internet users and 30 percent of African American Internet users, Pew said.
The study found that online banking attracts a more diverse group of Internet users than other financial activities such as buying or selling stocks online (12 percent or 14 million Americans, compared to 10 million in 2000) or seeking financial information online (42 percent or 49 million Americans, compared to 37 million in 2000), Pew said.
Another online activity growing in popularity with Americans is making a travel purchase or travel reservations over the Internet, with 59 million Americans (50 percent of U.S. Internet users) doing so in 2002, compared to 31 million Americans (36 percent of U.S. Internet users) in 2000, a two-year increase of 90 percent, Pew said.
The study also found that 73 million Americans are buying products online (62 percent of all U.S. Internet users), a two-year increase of 78 percent over 2000 when 41 million Americans said they bought an item over the Internet. Twenty-two million Americans have participated in an online auction this year (compared to 13 million in 2000, a 69 percent increase), while 42 million Americans have played a game online (compared to 29 million [M] in 2000, a 45 percent increase), Pew said.
Pew based its findings on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates between Sept. 9 and Oct. 6, among a sample of 2,092 adults, 18 years of age and older, the group said.
The non-profit initiative Pew Internet & American Life Project is part of the independent opinion research group, the Pew Research Center for People and the Press, in Washington, D.C. and the Pew Charitable Trusts in Philadelphia.

The seventh in a series of ITU-T Technology Watch Briefing Reports covers next generation networks (NGN) and energy efficiency.
The report examines the relationship between climate change and NGN by analyzing energy efficiency and applications.
NGNs are seen by many as the new network architecture that will unify today's fixed, mobile and broadcast networks. This innovative technology is expected to bring about greater energy efficiency than legacy networks by, for example, reducing the number of switching centres and increased temperature tolerance within those centres. NGNs are expected by some commentators to reduce energy consumption by 40 per cent compared to today's public switched telephone network (PSTN).
This report presents an overview of the main characteristics of NGN and looks at how NGN can minimize the power consumption of the network, transmission and end-user equipment and in data centres. It examines the energy savings that can be indirectly obtained from greater NGN usage, such as remote collaboration and ITU-T standardization work on NGN and climate change.

ITU-T has issued a call for papers for its Kaleidoscope 2009 event - Innovations for Digital Inclusion - to be held in Mar del Plata, Argentina, 31 August – 1 September 2009. The event is the second in a series of peer-reviewed academic conferences that aims at increasing the dialogue between experts working on the standardization of information and communications technologies (ICT) and academia.
The first Kaleidoscope event – Innovations in NGN - was held in Geneva, 12-13 May 2008.
Kaleidoscope 2009 is calling for original academic papers offering innovative approaches to digital inclusion. Prizes totalling USD 10k will be granted to the best papers, as judged by the organizing and programme committees. In addition a young author recognition certificate will be granted to authors presenting papers who are pursuing their studies and do not – at the time of the event - have a PhD. Accepted papers will be presented during the event, published in the proceedings and made available through IEEE Xplore. The best papers will be evaluated for potential publication in IEEE Communications Magazine.
Kaleidoscope-2009 will analyze technologies, services and applications five years and beyond that will capitalize on NGN infrastructure and promote digital inclusion. The event will cover multidisciplinary aspects, including regulatory and societal challenges as well as analysis of standardization needed.
Innovative technologies will help bring the benefits of ICTs to all segments of the population, in particular those in underserved communities and developing countries. The event seeks to promote research that supports innovation in ICTs toward universal, sustainable, ubiquitous and affordable access by all.

ITU will host a workshop to address international public policy issues on the migration to IPv6, as well as the economic aspects related to IP address allocation 4-5 September in Geneva.
With the massive deployment of Internet-related resources worldwide and the integration of IP-enabled consumer devices connected directly to the network, the issue of the depletion of IPv4 addresses is becoming pertinent. Indeed, there is wide recognition of the need for better awareness of the availability of IPv4 addresses and the deployment of IPv6.
Despite the use of network address translation (NAT) as a strategy for reducing the use of public IPv4 addresses, several experts forecast depletion in the next few years. In addition to other features, IPv6 with its 128 bit address space is aimed at addressing the current shortage of public IPv4 addresses. However the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is going at a rather slow rate, with both versions being used in parallel. Many informed observers attribute this to market forces and other economic considerations.
There is growing interest in IPv6 especially among the organizations involved in its management. ITU is organizing this workshop in order to foster dialogue and international cooperation on IPv6 related issues.
The workshop will provide a platform for dialogue where key players in the field, including all ITU sectors, as well as other interested entities will be able to discuss and address international public policy issues on the migration to IPv6, as well as the economic aspects related to IP address allocation.
The workshop is designed to stimulate discussion and interaction with the audience, rather than offer a string of presentations and speeches provided by panelists and speakers.

Arsène Wenger believes Thierry Henry could return to Arsenal to continue the manager's legacy at the Club.
The Gunners boss believes the best people to inherit the team once he leaves would be those who have played an important role on the pitch during his time at Arsenal. People such as Henry.
Asked if he thought the record goalscorer would eventually return, Wenger was optimistic.
"I can see that happening," said Wenger. "I believe at some stage the legacy here has to go to some people who have had a big influence at this Club.
"One day they will want to work, maybe not necessarily with me but working because I will have to stop eventually. Maybe it will be me working with them!"Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

PRESS DIGEST- Canada - Dec 18
Dec 18 (Reuters) - The following are the top stories from selected Canadian newspapers. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
** Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd Director Bill Ackman says the plunge in oil prices that has hit the Calgary-based company's share price will dampen growth at the company. Canadian Pacific has not altered its revenue guidance as oil has plunged 43 percent since Aug. 1, raising fears energy producers will slash production and cut rail shipments. (bit.ly/13BwXt4)
** Canadian businesses are beginning to calculate the fallout from the U.S. move to open up relations with Cuba, which could eventually generate opportunities for some and increased competition for others. While the moves by U.S. President Barack Obama to ease economic, travel and diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba are small steps and fall far short of an end to a decades-old trade embargo, they could lead to a broader opening up of relations.

** Alberta's political lines were redrawn on Wednesday as the head of the Official Opposition led the bulk of her Wildrose Party into the Progressive Conservative establishment she spent the past five years attacking on a daily basis. The mass defection of nine of 14 members of legislative assembly effectively ends the Wildrose as a political force in Alberta and is a resounding victory for Premier Jim Prentice. (bit.ly/1DQ7yM0)

Horace de Vere Cole
|This article needs additional or better citations for verification. (August 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
William Horace de Vere Cole (5 May 1881 in Ballincurrig, Co. Cork, Ireland – 25 February 1936 in Paris, France) was an eccentric prankster and poet born in Ireland. His best known trick was the Dreadnought hoax on 7 February 1910 when he fooled the captain of the Royal Navy warship HMS Dreadnought into taking Cole and a group of his friends, including Virginia Woolf, for an Abyssinian delegation.
As an undergraduate at Cambridge University, Cole had posed as the Sultan of Zanzibar — who was visiting London at the time — to make an official visit to his own college accompanied by his friend Adrian Stephen (the brother of Virginia Woolf).
With his mane of hair and bristling moustache, Cole was often confused with British prime minister Ramsay Macdonald, causing dismay in public when he launched into a fierce attack on Labour Party policy. His own sister Annie married Neville Chamberlain.
Following the Sultan of Zanzibar prank, Cole executed a series of bold jokes and escapades principally aimed at deflating pompous figures of authority. His targets included members of parliament, city businessmen and naval officers. On one occasion he directed a group of like minded friends dressed as workmen as they dug a trench across Piccadilly. On another, Cole dared an old schoolfriend from Eton, the newly elected Member of Parliament for Ramsey in Huntingdonshire, Oliver Locker-Lampson, to dash before him on a London street to the nearest corner with a 10-yard head start — having already slipped his gold watch into the MP's pocket. As soon as Locker-Lampson began to pull ahead, Cole yelled "Stop thief!" and a policeman promptly detained Locker-Lampson. Cole then explained that it was all a joke and both men were told to proceed on their way quietly. Unfortunately, Cole then began waving his stick around in a dangerous manner as though conducting an imaginary band and both men were then arrested and taken into custody. While no charge was brought against Locker-Lampson, Cole was found guilty of a breach of the peace and fined £5.
According to legend, Cole once hosted a party in which the attendees discovered that they all had the word "bottom" in their surnames.[1]
According to another story he bought tickets for particular seats at a theatrical performance and distributed them to bald men whose heads spelled out an expletive that was legible from the balcony above.[2]
On his honeymoon in Italy in 1919, Cole dropped horse manure onto Venice's Piazza San Marco — a city with no horses that could be reached only by boat.
Once heir to a great fortune, Cole married twice and died in poverty in France.
Cole has also been suspected of the Piltdown Man hoax.[2]

Hagel adds urgency to push for US military ethics crackdown
By Lolita C. Baldor and Robert Burns, AP Friday, February 7, 2014, 12:01 am TWN
WASHINGTON--Concerned that ethical problems inside the U.S. military might run deeper than he realized, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered service leaders Wednesday to add urgency to their drive to ensure "moral character and moral courage" in a force emerging from more than a decade of war.
Almost a year into his tenure as Pentagon chief, Hagel had been worried by a string of ethics scandals that produced a wave of unwelcome publicity for the military. But in light of new disclosures this week, including the announcement of alleged cheating among senior sailors in the nuclear Navy, Hagel decided to push for a fuller accounting.
Last month the Air Force revealed it was investigating widespread cheating on proficiency tests among nuclear missile launch officers in Montana, and numerous senior officers in all branches of the armed forces have been caught in embarrassing episodes of personal misbehavior, inside and outside the nuclear force. The Air Force also is pursuing a drug use investigation, and a massive bribery case in California has ensnared six Navy officers so far.
At the same time, hundreds of soldiers and others are under criminal investigation in what the Army describes as a widespread scheme to take fraudulent payments and kickbacks from a National Guard recruiting program.
The steady drumbeat of one military ethics scandal after another has caused many to conclude that the misbehavior reflects more than routine lapses.
"He definitely sees this as a growing problem," Hagel's chief spokesman, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, told a Pentagon news conference Wednesday after Hagel met privately with the top uniformed and civilian officials of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps.
"And he's concerned about the depth of it," Kirby said. "I don't think he could stand here and tell you that he has — that anybody has — the full grasp here, and that's what worries (Hagel) is that maybe he doesn't have the full grasp of the depth of the issue, and he wants to better understand it."
Hagel's predecessor, Leon Panetta, had launched an effort to crack down on ethics failures more than a year ago, and the matter has been a top priority for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, for even longer.
Kirby said Hagel has come to realize that he needs to investigate as well.
"We don't fully know right now what we're grappling with here and how deep and serious it is," Kirby said. "And I think, you know, for a leader at his level with the responsibilities that he carries every day, not knowing something like that is something to be concerned about. And he wants to know more."
Hagel believes that the vast majority of military members are "brave, upright and honest," and he is encouraged by efforts already under way to curb misconduct, including sexual assaults, Kirby said.
But Hagel told the service leaders Wednesday that he "also believes there must be more urgency behind these efforts" and that all Pentagon leaders must "put renewed emphasis on developing moral character and moral courage in our force."

Dunno where to post this bitch so sorry if it's in the wrong spot. My uncle wants to adjust the fast idle speed on my grandpa's '84 Buick Regal Limited. I think the carb is a Quadrajet but I'm not sure. Anyway I know it's bad form to post a tech question in the lounge but hell if I know where to put a Buick question without having to create an account on a Buick site. He wants to raise it since the car's high idle will slowly lower and eventually stall. We know the ILC is working because we can hear it ticking when the car stalls. My guess is it's just set too low.

How Social Entrepreneurship Succeeds In Kuwait
Kuwaiti entrepreneur Zahed Sultan talks about the development of organizations to navigate civic and environmental concerns using creative, socially tactful methods.
Leading a handful of start-ups, Zahed Sultan has an emergent presence as one of the Middle East's top social entrepreneurs. As a talented and creative thought-leader, he gives insight into what has made his ventures in Kuwait so successful and how and his team are tackling environmental concerns.
Tell us about your background and how REUSE came to be established.
"In November of 2005, I co-founded El Boutique Creative Group. El Boutique Creative Group is a visual communications consultancy devoted to creative thought and social responsibility. We offer a diverse mix of communication platforms and advisory services to both corporations and consumers alike and strive to invigorate them with creative energy via conscious thought.
In May of 2007, in an effort to expand our initiatives and introduce a new brand identity for a client, El Boutique designed a creative brand launch event for The Metal and Recycling Company (MRC), a leading commercial waste management company in Kuwait, to raise awareness for the environment, promote recycling, and highlight the importance of waste management. The event was entitled REUSE.
Conceptualizing and organizing REUSE 1.0 brought about the idea for developing an initiative dedicated to social responsibility in the Arab World – en.v"
How does communicating with the private sector differ from communication to the public sector?
"Communications to stakeholder communities must be dealt with tactfully and strategically – especially in the Middle East. Interests in any given community differs from one to the other (be them personal, societal or commercial). Therefore, in order to ensure effective reach you must have a clear vision of specific wants and needs, incentivize your approach (or activities) and measure outcomes / returns. To our dismay we are traditionally a reactive society; we wait for something to go wrong and then act upon it. Environmental concerns are becoming "a concern" because the outcomes of environmental misconduct (on a multitude of levels and sectors) are now visibly impacting people's daily lives – in turn they take notice and are inclined to act."
REUSE is a very successful platform that's now in its 4th year. What about the en.v initiative attracts social and brand communities?
"en.v is a budding initiative. I am thankful that we identified this niche or need several years ago and planted the seeds for it to blossom. Our efforts to ensure consistency (from partner engagement to impactful communications) are what have and hopefully will support our organic growth as we expand to appeal to global Arab audiences."
Tell us about Dow's Marine Conservation Program in Kuwait's islands. How is Dow preserving Kuwait's islands? What are your other sponsors/partners doing?
"Dow recently signed a title partnership with en.v in support of our marine conservation program (entitled Dow's Marine Conservation Program) and the fourth edition of REUSE.
Our marine program's activities launch in Q1 of 2011 and will aspire to group and gather existing / active volunteer groups with varying skillsets under a single umbrella to work towards developing a collaborative (and sustainable) marine protection / preservation program. Dow's integration of science and technology with "The Human Element" is mutually aligned with our commitment to preserving a primary natural resource of Kuwait.
Other partners and sponsors of en.v are actively involved with social causes that align with their individual corporate strategies – such as Zain Telecommunications' investments in recycling, Agility Logistics investments in humanitarian disaster relief, and ExxonMobil's in youth and education.""
What trend makes you optimistic about the future?
"e-communities – Technology is playing a vital role in civic society today. The digital realm provides aspiring professionals, active youth, or passionate individuals in general with a complimentary set of tools and platforms with which to engage desired stakeholder communities – which in the physical realm would prove costly and less accessible. Furthermore, as interconnectivity becomes more advanced, content, once developed as static, is now being developed dynamically (and on the go) thus fueling active participants in the e-realm to adopt DIY methods to create and disseminate content across a multitude of media almost instantly (hence the creation of nomenclature such as guerilla marketing, viral media, etc.)
Technology is the social lubricant that today has enabled civic participants to group and gather more frequently through the digital realm (by way of "commenting", "rating" or "liking" other participant activities) thus allowing for greater social inclusion – not to mention creating tangential e-communities."
Anything else to add?
"Please go to www.iamzahed.com to learn more about the creative ventures I am involved with (next on the agenda is the release of my debut music album in the Spring of 2011)."
Thanks Zahed!

Coming strong from 3rd place in Thailand, Alby was hoping to advance in Dakhla, Morocco at the 2nd PKRA stop. Dakhla is literally in the middle of the desert making a 10 day stay feel like 2 months. Making up for the location they scored great conditions for freestyle and wave events.
In the single elimination conditions were great to ride powered on 11m, one of Alby's favorite kites. Riding confidently he advanced against Alvaro Onieva from Spain, and German Mario Rodwald. With a few crashes in the semifinal against Alex Pastor he ended up in the looser final against World champ Andy Yates, finishig 4th in the singles!
2 days later in the double elimination to save 4th place he had a good heat against Tom Hebert from New Caledonia, landing 7 switch tricks and having fun! Coming next was Andy Yates again. Starting the heat off strong, he crashed a double 2 minutes before the end of the heat and ended up at the end of the competitions area, where the wind died off enough to end the heat for Alby.
Stoked with 4th and appreciating his caddy Riki Alby is back to Gran Canaria to spend some time training before heading to France for the next event!

President Bush has decided to maintain present levels of troops in Iraq at least until sometimes next year. There might be a reduction when about 8,000 return home by next February. Bush apparently has listened to requests by military leaders in Iraq who are still uncertain as to the length of time the present reduction of violence will last, and believe it necessary to keep troops at the current level until it is certain the Iraq government can handle the situation on its own. General Petraeus has argued against any reduction in the number of American troops until at least next June.
It is uncertain whether Senator McCain or Senator Obama will benefit from the announcement. Most probably, McCain would have benefited if troops began coming home and he could have boasted it was the result of the surge he has supported. On the other hand, Obama could argue troops coming home prove he was right in forecasting there could be a reduction in force.
Of course, one unanswered question is how those fighting in Iraq feel about the delay.

Yeah, Pat, it is a sign from God that you and your followers are cracked. Put that crack in your pipe and smoke it.

2009-2015 Cadillac CTS-V General Discussion Discussion, Removing converters in Cadillac CTS-V Series Forum - 2009-2015; Has anyone removed the cat. converters on one of these? I wanted to try and just run the stock exhaust ...

Removing converters
Has anyone removed the cat. converters on one of these? I wanted to try and just run the stock exhaust without the converters. Is there anything out there for this, or is it down to just cutting them out and welding in new pipe? I want to run through the stock exhaust without those for now. I will not have to worry about emissions control in the future.

Re: Removing converters
Your O2 sensors will throw a code because they are removed and you will see a check engine light come on. Plus, your car will stink. Save the atmosphere and don't do it. You can buy hi flow cats and satisfy the sound you want but keep it safe for the envirconment.
Re: Removing converters
I kept front cats and removed the rear cats which didn't cause any codes or any Check Engine Lights to come on and the car runs just fine!

Re: Removing converters
How easy is it to remove all 4? I would love to have them off of there. I was planning on getting a tune after so that the codes can be tuned out.
As for the smell, it isn't that bad. I have run Mustangs for years without them.
I was not sure if aanyone makes something that would go from the stock manifolds, no converters, through the stock mufflers. I think that the stock exhaust would sound pretty good if it was opened up some.
Re: Removing converters
Wait4Me has such an exhaust, although it's a straight-pipe out to the bumper. You'll need to saw off the ends to band-clamp to the stock mufflers.

D950 gearbox question
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this - but there seems to be some people here knowledgable about the Kubota d950. My gearbox has packed in and I am wondering what the cheapest way would be to get up and running again.
I have the option of buying a new SAE housing and fitting a PRM80 from Lancing Marine in the UK (boat is in Gibraltar). All up its looking like it would cost around £700.
Can anyone suggest a viable (prefereably cheaper!) alternative?
universal xp25
Where does one obtain a reasonably priced starter and solenoid for the universal xp25? Thanks
After getting the starter rebuilt and rewiring the engine to ABYC standards, tractor motor started up fine. It did, however, cough a little smoke when I revved it up. The smoke was black with a ting of blue. The valves didn't sound loud then but I figured I better check their gap. They were ridiculously off so I changed them after making my notes... figuring that and some Seafoam later would clear the carbon build up in the cylinders / valves area.
I agree... fuel injection timing doesn't just change itself but perhaps the needs of a farmer's engine aren't the same needs of a sailor's engine. No matter what, cylinder #3 is at TDC when the 1TC mark lines up with that bump.
As for dealing with this at the end, I'm pretty much at the end. All that's left is changing the transmission dampener & adapter at the flywheel, paint and an oil change. - D
PS The M25XP was pretty much given to me. The tractor motor I bought / traded for with a bunch of other stuff.
I would be very skeptical about the fuel injection timing changing by itself. Was the tractor motor running when you got it? Has the injector pump been removed/changed? You say you notice that the fuel is being delivered at TDC. I guess I wouldn't automatically assume there is a problem based on this observation alone. If it were me, I would finish swapping parts and then start it up. If it starts and runs fine, the timing is probably good. If it doesn't start or run good, then I would start my further troubleshooting.
By the way, how much did you get the tractor motor for?
Update... still not right... different problem
Ok... I misread the clearances last time. A gap of .007 IS fine. The marking of 1TDC IS really 3TDC. That little raised bump at 11 o'clock on the engine's rear vertical HAS TO be the timing mark as the engine is TDC when the timing mark lines up there on the flywheel.
It seems now that the problem is that the fuel injection timing is off... and THAT'S causing the noisy valves. While cranking the engine over by hand I noticed the fuel being delivered to each cylinder at TDC... not at 25 degrees before top dead center. I understand, in principle, about shiming the injection pump but if each shim equals 1.5 degrees... that would mean I need 16 or 17 shims to get the timing to where it needs to be. That seems like a lot of shimming.
Today I'm going to pull out the injector pump of both engines and 1) measure the thickness of each's shim and 2) see if I can figure out where the lobes of the fuel cam shaft area. If they're in different spots, I might have to figure out how to adjust the fuel cam itself. I really hope I don't have to tear inside this engine.
Has anyone on here done this conversion before? Except for this hiccup, I really think I'm in the home stretch!
|Hey wait a minute. Just looked at the link again. It says the gap should be .145. That's gotta be it. Oh and if that mysteries raised ?timing? mark is at 11 o'clock, then perhaps something lines up at where the bellhousing hole is when I bolt this together. You know... 3 cylinder engine should have TDC at 120 degree interval, right?
No Bellhousing
This engine had no transmission. I refered to that same drawing when I set the valves on my friends 5411!
Universal Diesel Engine Owners Manual - Fuel Injection Timing - Marine Diesel Direct / Torresen Sailing Site
Looks like the mark should align with a hole in the bellhousing at TDC
Universal M25XP / Kubota D950 question
Ok... so here's the deal. I have a M25XP that's seized and a running Kubota D950 tractor motor. There is countless information on the 'Net about the fact that the M25XP is a marinised D950 and for the most part, everything's been a direct swap. My main issues is setting the valves.
Believe me, I've set valves before. I know you always do it with a cold engine. In fact, on Wednesday I set the valves on my freind's 2 cylinder universal diesel and it ran great when I was done!
Specifically here's the problem:
1) the flywheel just has a single TDC marking (label 1TC) and serveral other grooves some marked "10" and "20". I would think these other marks must be for injection timing ok fine. No problem here.
2) with no transmission on the engine there's no transmission bellhousing notch to line up, I had to get creative. The injectors were already out so I could see the top of the cylinders. So I turned the flywheel by hand until Cyl #1 (the one closes to the v-belt) is in compression and then looked at the flywheel notches. Nothing on the back of the engine looked like a timing mark at first until I noticed a raised stud (at 11 o'clock)on the back of the engine... right inline with the flywheel. It was nowhere near the factory mark on the flywheel. So I rotated the engine counterclockwise when facing the flywheel until the stud lined up with the #1 mark. And then I realized that it was #3 that was really at top dead center. Ok... now we're getting weird.
3) Then I got out my feeler gauge. #3's exhaust valve gap was at .014 and intake valve was .000. Strange. My knowledge of Universals is that both are suppose to be .007 when the cylinder is in compression. I put an injector back into the cylinder #3 so I confirm it was in compression. I turned the flywheel around twice... exhaust then compression... to confirm this. It was. Ok now it's getting really weird.
For those that are wondering, the flywheel has never been off this engine. Heck, the injectors and even the valve cover have never been off this engine!
1) Where is the timing mark on a Kubota D950 ( or D850 or D750 which all same stroke)?
2) Is it really possible that Kubota number's the cylinders different that Universal? Could 1 and 3 really be reversed?
3) I understand the whole concept of "rocking the rockers" until they're at their most open and watching the valve open and close to confirm which is exhause and which is intake. Again, I literally just did a valve adjustment on a 2 cylinder Uni! What other tricks should I know?

Eva Fuchs has a minor problem.
Fuchs, a resident of Indiana's Franklin County, recently set the record for the world's largest cookie jar collection with 2,653 jars. Amazingly, every single cookie jar is unique from every other.
Franklin County Commissioner Scott McDonough explained his process for assisting in the official tally. "They had to count 2,653 cookie jars and convince themselves they were all different. We probably spent two or three hours counting the jars. At the end of the day, it was quite a collection."
So, what's the problem?
A headline in the Batesville Herald-Tribune recently asked: What will they put in all those jars? Great questions! And we have an answer. They could start by having gourmet cookies delivered from Fairytale Brownies!
Baked with the same premium, all-natural ingredients as our famous brownies, our moist and chewy Fairytale Cookies taste just like homemade. Plus, our gourmet cookies are available in six delicious flavors: peanut butter, mint chocolate, double chocolate, caramel pecan, coconut walnut, and toffee chocolate chip.
You can have your cookies delivered in a variety of increment sizes. You can order as few as three gourmet cookies in our 3-Cookie Favor, or as many as 72 in our Choose Your Own Cookie Extravaganza.
Of course, with so many cookie jars to fill, Eva Fuchs may want to consider having cookies delivered 72 at a time.
