text: I recently installed both the Buschur Racing 3" downpipe and exhaust, I knew I would loose some torque since I dont have an upgraded turbo to make enough exhaust, but my car seems to be running REALLY slow as compared to when it had its stock exhaust. Any ideas as to what to fix it or do I need MORE POWER!?? I have Injen intake, full intercooler pipe upgrade, avc-r, greddy type s blow off valve, I only bought the car 3 weeks ago, so any help is appreciated.

I was speaking with a group of younger software and hardware IT professionals. They were a great crowd, extraordinarily knowledgeable in their specific areas of expertise, and just a joy to be with, but had a lot to learn.
As part of my presentation to this group, I asked them what they know about current technology megatrends such as Big Data, Green Computing, Social Media inside the corporation, Cloud Computing, Virtualization, and others. I found it fascinating to learn that most of the people in the room were not at all familiar with these trends. Most had never heard about Big Data. Some didn't know about Virtualization. All knew about Cloud Computing, but many had no real idea how to take advantage of it within the workplace. Upon further discussion, it also became apparent even though these people truly knew their specific technology; they were not very familiar with the other technologies that surrounded them within their own IT shop. As we talked further, it became apparent to almost everyone in the room how a wider view of their chosen profession could help their current job performance and their future professional growth.
The moral of this story is NOT that techies should be an expert in everything, that's impossible. The moral is that you, as an IT professional, should be a mile deep in your technical specialty and be a mile wide and an inch deep in the other areas of IT.
What I mean by a mile wide and an inch deep is that you should have a broad, basic understanding of the various technologies used within IT and a general understanding of the technology trends that are driving change and innovation within the industry.
The reason you want to have a general understanding (be a mile wide) of the areas outside your primary technical expertise is because the technology you work in, most likely interfaces with these technologies. As a result, the more you know about these other technologies, the easier it will be for you to connect your technology to these technologies and the more effectively you will be able to work with the people who work with them. Examples of the concept include the following:
• If you're a Java programmer, then by definition, your software runs on computer hardware. If that hardware is in the data center, then it may be on a virtualized server. An understanding of virtualization can help you negotiate the hardware capacity needed to have your software run correctly. • If you are a Database Administrator (DBA), the more you know about software development, the better job you can do normalizing the database structure and defining needed table indexes for the programmers. • If you work in the data center, the more you know about your IT department's software development methodology (such as Waterfall or Agile), the easier you can understand the scheduling needs for new hardware availability. • If you work on the PC help desk as a PC Technician, knowing and understanding your department's processes, client service metrics, and reporting requirements may help you become the next department manager. • If you are a Business Analyst or Project Manager, an understanding of programming, database design, and data center operations can help you estimate project size and converting user needs into technical requirements.
Now let's widen the horizon from your IT shop to the IT industry in total. An understanding of the major IT industry megatrends, like those listed at the top of this blog, will also help you in a number of ways, including the following:
• Help protect your job by allowing you to more easily migrate your skills and direct your focus toward the trends that affect your specific technical expertise. • Help you be seen as a thought leader within your IT shop because of your understanding of industry trends and how they can potentially be applied within your company. • Help prepare and position yourself for promotion because as you move up the technical and managerial IT ranks, your job becomes more strategic and less hands on.
In closing, this week's blog obviously discussed why you should be generally knowledgeable of technologies outside your specific technical expertise. That said, next week's blog will provide you with insights into various ways to build and maintain this wider view of your profession.
If you have any questions about your career in IT, please email me at email@example.com or find me on Twitter at @EricPBloom.
Until next time, work hard, work smart, and continue to grow.

CDSA CD/SACD player - A follow-up with the new transport and feet upgrade
as reviewed by Ryan Coleman
If you've been enjoying my reviews for some time let me say I admire your taste. All kidding aside, in writing Part 2 of my EMM CDSA, I had to go back and read my original review again (Part 1 can be found at dagogo.com. This is a follow-up with the new transport and feet upgrade and not a full review!), and I found that I stand by every word I wrote. Despite the fact that I fell for the unit hard, I still took issue with a number of items and purchased the review sample in spite of its flaws (which every component has). Specifically, I felt the unit had a transport that was unbecoming of a $10k CD player. It was perfectly reliable, but it was flimsy and hardly inspired confidence. While it was impossible to quantify what effect the transport had (or didn't have) on the sound, I wondered openly during the review if the lack of reach and impact in the bass was because of its inadequate heft. In other listening sessions with other gear, I found the Esoteric XO1-D2 had no problems generating the deepest bass I've heard from a digital player, matched only by the Wadia 861SE. What was the common thread between the two units? The Esoteric VRDS transport is found in both, and the build quality of the VRDS transport makes other transports seem like Fisher Price toys in comparison. The EMM CDSA, with its superior sonic performance, used a transport that was more akin to a stock-keeping unit in Toys 'R Us than those found in the Esoteric or Wadia. I was only left to wonder how much things would improve if the unit had a heftier transport.
Happily, those days are past. EMM has come up with a few changes in an upgrade available to CDSA owners: new machined feet, new software, and a new transport. Lets walk through the changes, shall we?
First, Optimizing the EMM CDSA
Having lived with the unit for a considerable period, I've found various tweaks along the way to get the most out of it. First and foremost: that power switch on the back? Put it into the "On" position unless you're going on vacation. The unit takes a few days to come to life, and there's no sense in compromising it by cycling it on and off. It's not a class A component, so it draws little power and generates no heat. Just leave it on, and you'll be sure to get its best performance every time. But for you compulsive types (like me), if you simply have to do something to reduce the sensation that the units on, then turn off the display via the remote control. I find this to be the best solution because the display is off, and if there's no disc playing, the laser is off too. The only risk you have is via power surges / lightning strikes, but that's what fuses and breaker boxes are for.
Secondly, the unit has proven exceedingly sensitive to vibration control. Vibration control, more than any other factor in audio playback, is hit or miss. Some systems are very susceptible to it, and some are immune; perhaps this is because vibration sensitivity is a function of the components themselves, the rack they sit on, the proximity to the speaker, or any/all of the above. Vibration can be in either the horizontal plane (which is easily addressed with products like Ceraballs or Rollerblocks) or in the vertical plane (see offerings from Silent Running Audio, Vibraplane, etc). Despite a sturdy and well-engineered rack by Ultrasonic, I found the EMM Labs CDSA to be susceptible to both horizontal and vertical vibration. It performed significantly better when I put together my homebrew isolation system: a barely inflated 12" inner tube underneath a 2" thick maple butcher's block (vertical isolation), and then Finite Element Ceraballs (horizontal isolation) on the maple, and the CDSA on top the Ceraballs. Image height rose a few feet (measured from the front wall), image density and body was more holographic, and low level details took on their own space and were much more easily picked out of the mix. Really, all three of these improvements were a function of one thing: improved detail retrieval. One must always try to get every last bit of information from the software being played back; if there's increased brightness or some other problem as a result of additional details, then you've a problem elsewhere in your system, but don't blame it on the messenger! Anyway, for $150, this was one of the best tweaks I have ever used. Give it a try, and if it does work, bear in mind the professional products will work much better.
AC cabling is another area that one should always address in order to optimize any component. The thing about the EMM CDSA is that I find the product so damn good in its overall tone and harmonic presentation that cabling, usually employed by audiophiles as tone controls for flawed electronics, needs to be as unobtrusive as possible. Given that I didn't want to upset the delicate and ideal balance I was hearing, I found the best cord for the job was newcomer TelWire's sole offering ($799). While being exceedingly neutral throughout the midrange but with excellent extension at the frequency extremes, the cord is also highly flexible and very light, allowing for more effective isolation of horizontal and vertical vibrations, a pursuit which paid big dividends for my playback as I mentioned earlier.
And finally, one must always keep the unit up to date with a factory supplied upgrade to the software revision, downloadable from EMM's web site.
Think about this for a moment. I'm not talking about upgrading software for Microsoft Windows or Office, I'm talking about upgrading the software for a CD player! How many other high-end audio companies do you think have upgrades to their digital decoding algorithm, installable via a PC UBS cable? Methinks not many. Any dealer will upgrade the software as part of the upgrade kit, but I was very impressed by how easy it was to self install the upgrade. If you are familiar with installing software on a home computer, you shouldn't have any trouble (whereas a qualified dealer or the factory should do the upgrade to the transport assembly).
I honestly wasn't expecting much from the new software, but that could simply be a function of my never having experienced an upgrade to the software of a digital player I used (which, though stated in my original review, bears repeating: the EMM CDSA is heavy on brains). While not as substantial an improvement as the transport/feet combo, the new software provided a very audible improvement in the extraction of staging cues, harmonic decay and upper frequency air (which are all related to low level detail). The software revision, much like the transport upgrade (to be covered shortly), provided improved low level detail that gave rise to a greater sense of image density and depth within the soundstage. While the original CDSA was a staging champ, the software revision further enhanced the sensation of "bodies defined in space" as opposed to other players that simply present a general blob-like location of musicians. With the additional low level detail, its not surprising that harmonic decay was improved as well. I always felt the CDSA was the most tonally correct digital player I had ever encountered; the software revision simply extended that tonal rightness a bit further into the mix, giving life to those incredibly complex but barely audible overtones from a struck piano key. Finally, the software upgrade provided a bit more air around the instruments, such as the air around the chains rattling under a snare drum, or the distinction between strings within the piano box. In sum, this was a very audible upgrade and I highly recommend it given its price is, oh, free!
Upgraded Transport + Feet
This is a job for the professionals, so plan on sending the unit to your dealer (or the factory) for them to accomplish. The original feet were just some simple plastic jobbers found on any low-fi piece of equipment, but the new ones are obviously machined and have a non-resonant filler within them, and are more befitting a component of this quality. However, the discussion of feet pales in comparison to the discussion of the transport change. The original transport, an OEM from Philips, was replaced with a (more or less) drop in substitute of much better quality. While still not up to the heroic construction standards of a VRDS transport, the new unit is one for which no apologies need be made. It has the look and feel of a solid drawer, with much greater rigidity to any twisting or vibration.
The differences were not subtle, and I was not struggling to hear them. As I wrote in my original review, the CDSA got negative marks for bass depth and impact that was not up to state-of-the-art standards (as defined by the Esoteric XO1-D2 in my experience). Well, the new transport made significant improvements in just these parameters, allowing a drum kit to extend lower and with a greater percussive feel. Additionally, while I was very much pleased with the leading edge of the stock unit, feeling it defined the attack without the overemphasis often found in inferior players (a characteristic which, along with an elevated treble balance, gives rise to "digititis"), the upgraded transport gave a bit more snap to the leading edge. This is a point worth elaborating on. In comparing solid-state amps and tube amps, I've found the former to emphasize attack and linearity while the latter emphasized musicality, but it was seldom the two in equal measures within any component. Prior to the upgrade, if forced to I'd have categorized the CDSA more on the "tube amp" spectrum of the above continuum, but after the transport upgrade, it is now more evenly balanced, treading that rare ground that gives rise to both the attack and the musicality. In other words, the unit has seen its sense of PRAT (pace, rhythm, and timing) improve quite significantly, while still maintaining that tonal truthfulness that made the CDSA such a godsend for vinylphiles and others who abhor the sterile sound of digital audio.
An additional improvement that was easily predicted from the use of a sturdier (which can easily be read as "more resistant to vibration") transport was the ability of the unit to extract even more details than before. Given how good the original unit was in this regard, I was surprised to hear those additional low level details that were heretofore obscured to me. What was interesting was that the net effect of this was greatly improved imaging and soundstaging. And this makes sense when you think about it. When you add detail, you're really adding information both about the performance and the venue of the recording. The unit has always gotten the performance and the venue, but the lowest level details are in the reverberation of the studio / recording hall, and extracting this information helps place performers in space.
Taken as a whole, the upgrade to the transport has taken what is arguably the finest single-box digital player up another notch or two.
With the upgraded transport and latest software revision, I'm fast running short of things to gripe about with this unit. Oh sure, I wish it had digital inputs, and perhaps a more ego-laden remote, but after that? Sheesh, with the new transport and software, I'm thinking the bass depth and impact are a smidge less than that from the best I've heard on CD playback, and while the original CDSA was the pinnacle of detail retrieval, the upgrade only extends its lead on the competition. PRAT is greatly improved and harmonics are even more complex thanks to the additional information but they retain that even-handedness that defines EMM Labs, and serves notice to competitors as to what digital playback should aspire to be.
EMM Labs has taken a statement product, a standard in the industry, and made it better. Correction: lots better. The cutting edge just got sharper, folks. Anyone who has lain down 10-large can feel comfortable that the $1500 for the upgrade will be money well spent. Ryan Coleman

Medical care in the United States is extremely expensive. Without health insurance coverage, individuals who need medical care often go into debt for many years-sometimes for the rest of their lives-in order to pay back the medical provider (doctor or hospital) that treated their illness or injury.
For this reason, Rutgers University requires all F and J nonimmigrants who hold a Rutgers I-20 or DS-2019 to have health insurance that meets or exceeds the University's minimum required level of coverage. Please note that the requirement includes not only F-1 and J-1 visa holders on Rutgers' visa sponsorship, but also F-2 and J-2 visa dependents on Rutgers' visa sponsorship, as well.

2017 cadillac eldorado
To Whom it may concern at Cadillac Corporate,
Here is a model I am working on that I thought I would share with you. Just In time for the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Eldorado!
-The car is based on the 2010 Camaro-Zeta Platform. I have always felt that the new Camaro has absolutely perfect proportions for an Eldorado.
-Every body panel is unique save the A pillars and the doors. (However it would have different glass, door handles and a chrome strip at the beltline.)
-The roof, sail panels, front and rear clip and wheels are all inspired by the Cadillac Sixteen, which (again in my opinion) is the one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
-The rear pass windows would retract..a-la 1967. (Unlike the Camaro)
-The fuel filler neck would be behind a hinging drivers rear taillight.
Hoping to hear what you think!

The impact of expert testimony in trials of battered women who kill
Schuller, Regina, A., McKimmie, Blake, M., & Janz, Teresa (2004) The impact of expert testimony in trials of battered women who kill. Psychiatry, Psychology and Law, 11(1), pp. 1-12.
|PDF (179kB)
Participants (N = 195) were presented with a criminal homicide trial involving a battered woman who had killed her abuser. Within the trial, the presence of expert testimony (battered woman syndrome, social/agency, no expert testimony) was systematically varied. Overall, participants, drawn from both Australia (n=99) and Canada (n=96), were more favourable to the woman's claim of self-defence if they had been provided with expert testimony. The results indicated that, compared to the no expert control condition, the participants provided with expert testimony (either form) were more lenient in their verdict decisions, with this effect most pronounced for Canadian men and Australian women. Compared to the no expert control condition, the presence of the testimony, either form, also resulted in a belief that the woman's options were far more limited. The implications of these findings are discussed.

[NOTE: This entry has been edited as of 6:16 AM Eastern on 6 Jun to insert the inadvertently omitted critical qualifier "secular" in referring to Jewish law.]
As a general matter, this is the kind of thing we expect from a university under Sharia law within an Islamist state, not from a university under secular Jewish law within a Jewish state, especially where matters of high culture are concerned.
Tel Aviv University, the venue for a symposium on [Richard Wagner] on 18 June culminating in a musical performance, has cancelled the booking made by the Israel Wagner Society following a wave of protests. [...] "We have received complaints and angry protests calling for the cancellation of this controversial event, which crosses a red line and would deeply offend the Israeli public in general, and Holocaust survivors in particular," [said the university in a letter released to the media].As a Jew, we are deeply ashamed. RTWT here.
Update (11:54 AM Eastern on 11 Jun): This is absolutely disgraceful!
The Israel Wagner Society is continuing in its efforts to find a venue for a concert of pieces by Richard Wagner, without much success. Last week, the society found a venue in which to hold a concert this coming Saturday, the Tel Aviv Hilton Hotel. A few days later however, hotel ownership changed its mind and cancelled the show. "Everything was agreed upon with the Hilton's management," said Jonathan Livni, founder of the Israel Wagner Society. "Even the type of chairs — we signed a detailed contract, including which pieces would be played," continued Livni. On Friday afternoon however, despite the signed contract, and after advertisements were posted in newspapers, the Hilton handed down the decision to cancel the show. "We don't know the reason for cancellation," said Livni.RTWT here (registration (free) required).

Advant-Edge Curbing & Landscaping Inc. 73 ReviewsLove my backyard
I've had my backyard done for about 2 weeks now and I love it. Everyone I spoke with were professional and kind to me during this process. I found the price reasonable for everything I had done, real grass, drip system, sprinkler, trees, plants, paver boarder around the grass. David is a great owner and gets involved in the projects. Was nice to see him the first day they started working on my yard and meeting his client. I highly recommend this company and I will come back for more work in the future. Thanks for giving me the backyard I had planned out in my head. Its perfect.
Poco Verde Landscape, Inc 25 Reviewstotally professional, timely, and personable
Our landscaping, front and back, were done by PV. They stand behind their plants and service. If you want a great fence at a great price, ask for Matt. I have worked with Ben multiple times and if all their other employees are of this caliber, this company is hands down the best my family has dealt with. Ben deserves a raise .. at least a Christmas bonus! We have lived in way too many places and find this company to outshine the others. Don't even hesitate :-)
Cuevas Landscaping and Pavers 1 ReviewsGOOD!!!
It`s nice to know there are still companies out there with TRUE landscaping service. When I call in with a question, everyone at Cuevas Landscaping and Pavers has always been very knowledgeable. If I need them to come out, they are very prompt! Thanks!
Outdoor Xscapes, LLC 66 ReviewsBest landscapers ever
I had Garrett come out to my house after finding this company at the home show. He listened to what we were wanting to do to make our back yard an outdoor living space. Spending this much money is an emotional investment and Garrett understood that and took our desires and budget into consideration. The turn around for the design and bid was fast and the work started and finished within one week. We are very happy we chose this company and will use them again when we can redo our front yard! Thank you Garrett and Outdoor Xscapes!

BBA starting -- how to fight?
Well...BBA has started up in my tank out of nowhere. Been fighting it for about a week.
Tank background -
Ray II LED on for 7 hours a day
EI dosing everything except nitrates. Using two test kits to verify I have sufficient nitrates. Phosphate levels are acceptable as well.
~50% WC once a week
CO2 comes on an hour before the lights, and turns off 30 minutes before lights out - this is with a reactor. Do I need to turn on the CO2 sooner?
Drop checker shows bright yellow, have been upping CO2 but drop checker has always been lime green or better
Flow has been good, but I just changed out some media in my canister and gave it a good cleaning last night increasing flow even further. This is an Eheim 2028 full blast on a 60p
Double dosing Excel equivalent on a daily basis
I first noticed it on a rock. Pulled the rock out, H2O2 dip and scrubbed it clean, then another H2O2 dip and put it back in.
Then I noticed it on leaves. Mostly on my carpet, not on my blyxa. So every day I hunt the tank and clip leaves off that show signs of BBA. I am confident that I am removing all leaves that show BBA on a daily basis, but it continues to return. I clip maybe 5-7 leaves on my tropica 49 a day, not much at all. Now to clarify, this is not big bunches of BBA. This is a sole, singular tuft here and there that if I was not OCD, would probably go unnoticed. I literally get a magnifying glass out.
My goal is for it to stop before it gets worse. Aside from what I am doing, does anyone have any tips on how to improve on what I am doing?
It's yellow and the fish don't freak .
On water changing day, it directly squirt excel on the BBa with the recommended dose. It works and I don't have to stress out the fish.
I don't have any BBA in the tank to squirt, really. When I see it on plants, instead of treating chemically I just physically remove the entire leaf. I had a tuft or two on the glass that I hit with H2O2 with the filters off and let sit for 20 minutes. Then I scrape it off and suck it out with a syringe.
I was battling with for a long time. Remove affected leave, fix co2, and direct squirting of excel was how I got it under control. It's still around but excel takes care of that.
Sounds like I will keep on trucking the way I am doing it now. Hopefully it resolves itself after a bit.
yellow is not the end all be all for fish death. green is just a starting point in terms of drop checker color
and yes my fluid is appropriately 4 dkh. its turning yellow in a 5 dkh checker as well just not quite as bright yellow, more of a greenish yellow
good surface agitation and Low BOD keep oxygen levels sufficient for higher co2 levels safely,
my rainbowfish spawn frequently as well
Crazy...you and I have nearly the same set-up/issue.
I run the Finnex Ray2 on a 36G for 7 hours per day.
EI dosing, but my Nitrates run high so I add a little less KNO3.
50% weekly water change. I turn my CO2 on 2 hrs before light, but that is only because I either have a leak (that I can't find) or a very innefficient reactor. I'm running a freaking stream of CO2 to get my DC to a yellowish lime green. I turn the knob a bit more every couple days, but the BC is totally useless as a gauge in my case.
I check each evening and remove any leaves with even the slightest strings of BBA. I have only seen it on my Blyxa and my Acmela Repens stems. They are on opposite sides of the tank from each other. One is in a high flow area and the other not so much...this seems odd to me.
I had been running the light for 8 hrs and it was definitely worse then. I hate to cut to 6hrs as it feels like the kids and I hardly get to enjoy the tank as it is. I'm tempted to step down to the FugeRay. I could probably run the light for 10hrs a day, but some of my plants may not be happy with the lower output.
Anyway, hopefully one of us figures out a solution that the other can benefit from.
if it helps syn.. i run a stream into my 29 gallon to keep the DC bright yellow, and i have a buttload of light.
algae is always ready to take hold, this is the dilema with high light, one slip and its there
keep trimming, adjust co2, keep it steady and eventuall plants will grow in and black algae will quit growing, anytime u get an unhealthy leaf though, guess what's gonna show up :)
Any reasons why you don't dose NO3??? For me, I tried to scrap them off if possible and then to siphon them out. I find that spot treating with Excel would tend to damage the leaves too. Same with H2O2. I simply just remove the affected leaves at the right time when there are a lot new ones growing. I also make sure CO2, ferts, and light are all balance. I mainly increase the CO2 by a bit, until the drop checker is yellow within 2 hours at the beginning of the light cycle. I have a 40g with a HOB filter and it takes a lot of CO2 to get to yellow by noon. I also do 3 40% WC per week. Using Purigen as well.
I don't dose NO3 because my nitrates stay at 5-20ish ppm throughout the week between my aquasoil and feeding.
Just an update. I have to trim about 10-15 leaves a day as it pops up. Also pops up on my glass. CO2 is waaaaay beyond the yellow point on my drop checker. Been dosing Excel at 5+mL per day every day before the lights come on. Been spot dosing the stuff on the glass, scraping off and siphoning when I can see it floating as a result. Getting a little frustrated.
Photoperiod is 6 hours now. Flow has slowed down so I am beginning to think that may be the culprit. CO2 is high enough now that it is overcoming my reactor and soda bubbles are showing up in the tank.
take into account, if its still their, it can still reproduce. it can still grow on the slightest bit of unhealthy plant tissue...
water changes will help remove baby spores
organic objects that are inert are a great growing point for algae, these settle on elaves, hardwood, rocks,, etc.. even if u have a healthy leaf, if this stuff settles on a leaf for too long it can be the start of algae that eventually roots into plant tissues
Plantbrain has added wet/dry filters to all of his high light tanks, because they do a great job of dissolving O2 into the water. That could be a good next step for you. With increased dissolved O2, the fish can tolerate more CO2 in the water, so you can raise the bubble rate even more.
One problem with drop checkers is their very slow response to changes in CO2 in the water. When it takes hours to get to a yellow DC, that isn't because it takes that long to raise the concentration in the water, but because it takes that long for the DC to show it. If you have a good method of diffusing CO2 into the water it shouldn't take more than an hour, if that long, to reach the desired concentration of CO2 in the water. Perhaps a pH probe would react much faster?
During my battle with BBA, I had the CO2 running 24/7 on a reactor and a bright yellow drop checker. The CO2 was so high that I lost every single invertebrate in the tank and unfortunately some fish, too.
The BBA was rocking at the end - seemingly unaffected by the high CO2.

I read with interest the recent TechTarget interview of Evaluator Group's Randy Kerns on what is happening with file based storage. It was a great summary of the trends and pressures we are hearing about from prospects on almost a daily basis. In a nutshell, these are the key points I gleaned from the interview:
- File data growth is exploding faster than block data, in particular from big data
- NAS systems are one of the best storage targets for this data but they have limitations
- Adding more storage can create isolated islands across which one can't optimize well
- Scale out and clustered NAS address some of these problems but only partly
- Capital cost amortization can make storage management tremendously challenging
- File-sharing has great potential but mainstream technology limits its effectiveness
- Object storage (file-based storage plus metadata) provides a strong platform for file storage
- Applications don't speak object storage today, so you need a NAS-like target that speaks object storage
Voila, Panzura Global Cloud Storage System! As a Panzura marketing guy, of course I "see" Panzura in every article I read. But I was struck by how well our solution aligns with this progression of thought. It also explains why IT leaders get so excited about what we can do for them.

ReFo: Falcons @ Redskins, Week 5
Which did you think would happen first, the Falcons losing or RG3 getting hurt? Well, only one "bound to happen" actually did, but it had a big impact on the ...
ReFo: Falcons @ Redskins, Week 5
Many had opined that it had to happen at some point, but the Falcons evaded that first loss of the season against the Redskins in the nation's capital. They overcame a fourth-quarter deficit brought about by a busted coverage that gifted rookie signal-caller Kirk Cousins his first career touchdown pass in relief of an injured Robert Griffin III. The Falcons showed signs of the team that many people refuse to put faith in, but at the end of the day they overcame a slow day (if 345 passing yards can be characterized as slow) from the offense to get the win.
For Washington, this game was also a case of many people's worst fears coming true as the Redskins were finally made to pay for Griffin running and getting into space against an NFL defense. A ferocious hit, which he didn't need to take, knocked him out of the game in the third quarter. The Redskins may have scored a touchdown without him, but there is no doubt that a dimension of their offense was missing after he went out. The Redskins must find a way to maintain that dimension while reducing the number of hits that he takes. This game showed their ability to stick with the best teams in the league, but can they maintain this level of play if Griffin is lost to further big hits?
Atlanta – Three Performances of Note
Keeping up with the Jones
More than half of the Falcons' passing game this week came courtesy of two players. In terms of targets, receptions, yards, and receiving touchdowns both Tony Gonzalez (+3.8) and Julio Jones (+2.2) carried the load for the Falcons. Between them the two receivers went 23/29 for 217 yards and two scores, with the Redskins getting only a pair of pass defenses on passes targeted to Jones to get close to either receiver. Even after the catch the Redskins struggled to stay with Gonzalez and Jones as the Falcons' dynamic duo for the day racked up a total of six missed tackles from Redskins' coverage defenders on their combined 79 yards after the catch. That a player like Roddy White was relegated to a supporting role shows not only the development of Jones from last season, but also the scary depth of the Falcons. There probably isn't a team in the league that can match-up with all of the Falcons' receiving options if their pass rush fails to get to the quarterback, as the Redskins' did in this game.
Sam Baker no Longer Quarterback Breaker?
The Falcons' offensive line did a fine job in pass protection this week with only Todd McClure struggling in the passing game — he allowed four total pressures, including a sack and hurry, to Barry Cofield. Perhaps the most improved player on their offensive line, however, is left tackle Sam Baker. We worried in preseason that the loss of Will Svitek would hurt the Falcons if Baker didn't improve on prior performances. That would have been the case but for the improvement that Baker has shown. He continued a solid start to the season with his best game of pass protection this season, as he yielded only a pair of hurries this week. Through five weeks of the 2012 season, Baker has allowed only 14 pressures and only three knockdowns (combined hits and sacks) of his quarterback on 230 pass block snaps. Those are far from All-Pro numbers, but as a comparison he allowed as many knockdowns and only two fewer pressures in his Week 2 start against the Eagles last season. There has been much talk of Baker struggling with injuries last season and his return to health, along with the associated upturn in performance, is a pleasure to see for Falcon fans.
Babineaux Bouncing Back?
Another Falcon who showed signs of a 'bounce back' this week was Jonathan Babineaux (+2.4), who has not had his best start to a season in Mike Nolan's new hybrid defense. Babineaux may have recorded a sack in both Weeks 1 and 2 but had done little else on a positive note. He has particularly struggled in run defense, and was sporting a -4.7 overall grade entering Week 4. This week however, we saw the more impactful Babineaux that we are used to seeing. His run defense was more solid for the second week in a row — including a holding penalty against Trent Williams — but it was in the passing game where he was most active as Babineaux doubled his season sack count. He beat Kory Lichtensteiger to the inside for his first, and also collected a hurry in pursuit and another hit off of Lichtensteiger on a play where he smartly used John Abraham as a pick to get free to the outside. That hit came in a crucial situation as it forced a sailed pass from Redskins' backup QB Kirk Cousins which was intercepted to end the game as a contest late in the fourth quarter. Atlanta will be keen to see more impact plays like this from Babineaux in the coming weeks.
Washington – Three Performances of Note
Mixed Bag in Passing Game
The Redskins' passing game got a spark from an unexpected source in this game — few would have predicted before this game that a single pass from Kirk Cousins to Santana Moss would have accounted for nearly half of the Redskins' passing yards and their only passing touchdown. Prior to his injury, Robert Griffin (+0.7) was as efficient as ever, with three drops robbing him of going 13/14 on his targeted passes. However, Pierre Garcon's (-1.9 receiving) home debut did not yield the positive impact that would have been hoped for. Garcon was a factor in the running game and set a number of good blocks to help his running backs on outside rushes, but his work catching the football was poor.He dropped two of six passes aimed in his direction and accounted for only 24 receiving yards. He also added only 7 yards after the catch, and five of those were on a pass to get him back to the line of scrimmage for no gain. Outside of his 88-yard screen pass at the start of the season Garcon has missed two games and has failed to make a significant impact. Garcon will get time to feel his way back to full health, but questions over his consistency that were raised in Indianapolis will be raised fast, and loud, in Washington if things do not start to take an upturn in the next few weeks.
Jenkins Shows his Potential
There were some fears from Redskins fans that they would suffer from the loss of Adam Carriker to a seaso- ending injury, partly because former second-round pick Jarvis Jenkins may not be ready to contribute on his return from his own injury last season. Well, all he's done since he entered the starting lineup in Week 3 is record an overall grade of +3.5 and register four stops and four hurries. Jenkins (+1.0) ensured a difficult game for Garrett Reynolds and Tyson Clabo on the right side of the Falcons' offensive line in this game; He collected a stop for no gain to the outside of Clabo late in the third quarter to bring up a third down, and registered a pressure on Reynolds a couple of plays later to force a dumpoff that was dropped. He struggled off of the bench in the first two weeks, but the Redskins may have received an upgrade by losing Carriker to injury, as, at this stage, Jenkins looks like a better player to move forwards with at the left end spot in Jim Haslett's defense.
Doing the dirty work for Morris
There is little doubt that the two stars for the Redskins' offense this season have been Griffin and Mike Shanahan's latest find in the late rounds at tailback, Alfred Morris (+2.9). Once again Morris was the beating-heart of the Redskins' offense . He poated his second 100-yard game of the season and once again did a lot of work after contact (70 yards after contact on 18 carries). As ever in a Shanahan offense though, the running back isn't the only star, as those around him do a lot of work to help him pick up those yards. Both guards had solid ground games (both earned +1.6 grades for run blocking) and there was some excellent blocking as well at the skill positions. We have already mentioned Garcon's efforts (+1.5 run blocking) to balance his subpar work as a receiver, but there was also help from a pair of tight ends as Logan Paulsen (+1.5 run blocking) and Fred Davis (+1.1 run blocking) both chipped in as well. Davis in particular caught the eye with a first-quarter block that put Stephen Nicholas on the ground to spring a 16-yard carry for Morris. The Redskins have found their hot hand at running back and everybody else is putting in the hard graft to ensure the running game continues to drive this offense.
Game Notes
— This was the first week Ryan Kerrigan has struggled to lead the Redskins' pass rush in Brian Orakpo's absence. His pick-six was exceptional, but he recorded only one hurry outside of that play.
— How much did the Redskins' pass rush struggle in this game? They only pressured Matt Ryan on 12 of his 54 drop-backs; only slightly more than one in five.
— The Falcons will want to re-consider making Joe Hawley a receiver in their offense. He dropped both passes targeted his way in this game.
PFF Game Ball
Notching up the 99th receiving touchdown of his career, Tony Gonzalez was seemingly invisible to the Redskins' coverage unit. With only one incompletion on 14 passes targeted his way Gonzalez was the metronomic beat that kept the Falcons' offense ticking.

Glass & IG Components at GlassBuild America
The supplier of Super Spacer products will bring back its popular Edgetech University theme booth to GlassBuild America. Classroom-style, in-booth "quads" will provide attendees the opportunity to learn about green certification programs, Energy Star changes, IG certification and best practices for meeting the .30/.30 requirements of the stimulus act. Educators include Marg Webb, executive director of the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance; Michael Thoman, director of thermal testing and simulation from Architectural Testing; and Rich Walker, president and CEO of the American Architectural Manufacturers Association. Additional courses will be presented directly by Edgetech's experts, including hands-on Super Spacer application and best practices for manufacturing triple-glazed IG. The company will also present its MythBusters structural simulations.
Improved Premium and Premium Plus Super Spacer products rolled out this year help customers achieve lower U-Values and improve condensation resistance–up to 5.7 points higher NFRC Condensation Resistance Rating over the nearest competitive product, according to the supplier. Silicone Super Spacer Premium and Premium Plus products already offer U-Values that meet the needs of manufacturers to get U-values below .30, but according to third-party testing, the enhanced products can improve U-Values and condensation resistance further because of 30 percent lower thermal conductivity numbers, it is reported.
In addition to its emphasis on education, Edgetech plans to feature a variety of its high-performance products and value-added services in its booth. It will also highlight its SustainaView Window Technology campaign.
Edgetech will exhibit alongside sister company, Lauren Manufacturing, located in booth #2123. The company supplies of high-quality, pre-packaged retail weatherstripping and custom-engineered polymer seals for residential and commercial window, door, storefront and curtain wall applications. Edgetech serves as an official distributor of these products for the industry.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am a previous employee of a Hospital in Minneapolis that has in the past and is also currently discriminating against its black population, especially those who are Registered Nurses. The discrimination is extreme, most of it obvious but others very subtle. I think it is about time we bring a class action law suit against this employer to let them know that we may be black, but in this 21st century, we are no fools and our brains are not black either. Someone needs to let this employer know that we are not in the South and MInnesota may be the coldest state in the US, but it does not have to earn the title "most racist in US 2011". Which class of lawyers handle such cases? Please advice on how to start this process soon before this employer fires all its black RNs.
It is certainly shocking to hear about such ignorance and bigotry in the 21st century.
I also commend you for wanting to take a stand and stop this conduct from continuing.
Prior to jumping into a class action, a few issues come to mind. First, approximately, how many RNs are African American at this hospital, if you know?; Have you spoken with these other nurses about the discrimination?; For how long has the discrimination been going on?; for how long were you employed there?; did you leave because of the racial discrimination or was there another reason?; did you or any of the other nurses complain in writing to the hospital?; if so, who were the complaints made to?; are these RNs part if a labor union?, if so, were grievances ever filed, if you know?; and do you have a list of the proposed class of RNs.
When you get a chance to answer my questions, I'll do my best to get back with you right away with suggestions with proceeding forward.
Michael Rott
Please be advised that the advice provided does not create any attorney/client relationship; that due to the various state laws that the information provided is a general overview of work comp law, which might not be applicable to you, based upon the laws of your state. We will not file anything on your behalf nor protect any statute of limitations which might arise and recommend that you IMMEDIATELY consult legal counsel for advice.Ask a similar question
A class action is a mechanism that allows the Court to efficiently address common complaints against the same defendant. Certain criteria the Court will look to will be the typicality and commonality of the complaint, the numerosity (number of people it effects) and that all the plaintiffs are similary situated. The case can proceed as an individual case or multi-plaintiff litigation, rather than a class action, depending on the circumstances. You should speak with a firm, such as ours (800) 910-0529, that provides free confidential consultations. Our firm only takes these matters on a contigency basis, so we only receive money if we win your case. Since some of your complaints are discrimination based you should speak with an attorney as soon as possible, because your rights to file certain notices are time sensitive. I wish you the best.
Please note by answering this question there is no attorney-client relationship formed. I am not your attorney. Nothing I said in this reply can or should be relied on. In order to rely on counsel's advise you must retain that attorney and receive representation or an official opinion letter. This is neither and meant to be for general informational purposes. Your case has specific nuances that goes beyond what you wrote and what I answered and you must speak directly with counsel to advise you of your rights.Ask a similar question
Initiating, certifying, and maintaining a class action lawsuit requires specialized legal expertise and knowledge. You should find an experienced attorney who has handled these types of claims. If the case appears viable as a class action, you can file it as such and petition the court for certification of the class. If it does not appear that a class action would be viable, you may still have an individual cause of action against the employer.Ask a similar question
You can start by contacting the Minnesota Department of Human Rights to report your discrimination claims and to preserve your rights. The Department can investigate, can impose sanctions and can force the employer to change its practices. You also may file a claim under Federal law, but if you start the claim with the Minnesota Department you will preserve your Federal rights as well. You can then work entirely with the Department, or retain a private attorney to handle your claim.Ask a similar question

Conan O'Brien on Back Taxes Debocle: It's Just a Mail Mix-Up
Causing quite the stir in the Hollywood headlines on Monday (June 23), Conan O'Brien reportedly got slapped with a penalty from the IRS after missing nearly $8,000 in back taxes on his family's home in Westerly, R.I.
Making sure to avoid an unnecessary drama, the LA-based comedian stated that he would have paid the IRS sooner if he knew there was an issue. Via a statement this afternoon, the "Conan" host told press, "As soon as I was made aware that the tax bill on my parents' house was being mailed to the wrong address, I paid the bill immediately. The problem has been corrected. I am grateful to the reporter at the Westerly Sun who spotted this error and notified me."
Property records were obtained by the Associated Press and the house is listed in Conan's parents' name and is valued around $723,000. It was reportedly set to head to auction on Tuesday (June 24) due to delinquent tax bills.
The house isn't going anywhere since Conan took care of the $8,000 tax bill at the end of last week.
