Scherrer Zinfandel Old and Mature Vines 2004
JeffG was touring these cold and dreary climes recently and he kindly brought a couple bottles with him. I was told to age this Zin, but since there's practically nothing to drink here, I wanted to open it now. Jeff told me to decant for a long time. 12 hours is what was mentioned. I thought that must be an exaggeration so I tried a small sample just after it was opened.
Super-sweet and ripe, one-dimensional; weird since Scherrer, as it was told to me, was structured and tight!
Fast forward to dinner, 13h later. Oh yeah! The morning sniff was a stereotype of Zin, but now that I'm back from work and fried a bit of dead animal, this is really starting to smell nice! It is spicy and has some berry aromas as Zin is supposed to have, and has aromas quite like Chateauneuf du Pape from those few good producers I know of (think Texier); sweet, but at least it has good structure. Spicy finish. It is a pretty big wine at 14,5% and though hugely interesting I perhaps have to also admit that it isn't quite as moreish as I hoped it would have been.
But as far as Zins go, this is the best I've had. I even preferred this to Ridge's. (Though, admittedly, I haven't had Ridge with age on it.)

The highly legible, sans serif typeface Felbridge® might share much in common with other sans serif designs, but dig deeper and you will see differences – particularly with the italics. While most sans serif designs base their italics on the "sloped roman" principle, the Felbridge italics are lighter, feature distinctive "hooked" strokes and are therefore noticeably distinct when contrasted with the other Felbridge weights.
The Felbridge design was developed as a useful on-screen font for use in web pages and across all electronic media. Designer Robin Nicholas wanted a strong, clear sans serif design that performed well in low resolution environments. The design turned out to also be extremely useful in printed media as well. Updating the font in 2001, Nicholas made subtle improvements, such as adjusting certain character strokes to improve legibility by preventing pixels from bunching up in places. Other characters that had round strokes were given slightly squared proportions in order to fill them out. Small serifs were added to characters like the I, j and l. the resulting typeface not only excels in legibility, but retains a humanist feel regardless of the point size.
All four Felbridge weights, Light, Regular, Bold and Extra Bold, include complementary italics. The Felbridge design was imbued not only with legibility, but versatility as well. It works well in both body text and headline work, in advertising or product branding. Within corporate identity programs, the Felbridge design is highly effective – and surprisingly distinctive.

Just when we thought the holiday season couldn't get more merry, we find ourselves in People Stylewatch's annual holiday gift guide!
We've witnessed first-hand the curating that goes into one of these major gift guides: imagine the best ever pop up store suddenly materialising in a large conference room, but then imagine whittling all these goodies down to only the very best. So we couldn't be more thrilled that our Lipstick Kiss Little Notes made the cut! (See below, top right.)
Of course, kisses are especially nice over the holidays (like our playful Mistletoe Christmas card, below) …
… but a little box of our Lipstick Kiss notes (see below) makes for a great gift year 'round. I always have a spare box handy in my emergency gift drawer … they are perfect for your party hostess, or your niece's birthday. Find them at select retailers, or order some for yourself from our online store .

Bystanders and Civilization: The Richmond Rape Case
Mark Earley
November 10, 2009
On the night of October 23rd, a 15-year-old girl in Richmond, California, was brutally assaulted by as many as seven young men between the ages of 15 and 20.
One policeman called the events of that night a "barbaric act" and "one of the most disturbing crimes in my 15 years as a police officer."
What disturbed him wasn't only the overt criminal acts but the response—or more precisely, the lack of a response—of those in a position to help.
According to the police, the victim had left a dance at Richmond High School and was in the school's courtyard when she was gang-raped. As heinous as this crime was, what made it a national story was that approximately 20 kids witnessed the attack and did nothing. Nothing.
Actually, it was worse than that. As word spread about the attack, people came to check it out. There are reports that some of the bystanders took pictures of the assault with their cell phone cameras instead of calling for help. Others laughed and a few even joined in the attack.
No sooner had police found the victim, semi-conscious under a bench, than attention focused on the behavior of the crowd. Comparisons were made to the 1964 murder of Kitty Genovese in New York, in which her neighbors supposedly ignored her cries for help because they didn't want to get involved.
While how many of Genovese's neighbors actually heard her cries for help is in dispute, there are no such doubts in this case.
So why didn't anyone do something to help? An obvious factor is fear. Richmond, California, has been described as "one of the nation's most dangerous cities," and its murder rate is higher than Oakland's or Los Angeles'. The school even recently approved the use of surveillance cameras following a series of violent crimes on campus.
In this setting, people have reason to believe that authorities cannot protect them and, thus, getting involved will put them at risk.
Even so, many people live in dangerous neighborhoods where "snitching" is dangerous, but they don't gather to watch another person being brutalized, much less take photos or laugh. After all, the attack ended when people down the street from the school learned what was happening and called the police.
The response that shocked the nation speaks to an indifference to the well-being of others among some of our children. Instead of empathy, these young people showed apathy—and, as one observer said, "a total indifference to [behavior], customs, mores, and sensibilities," the things we associate with being civilized.
What happened in Richmond, California, is an unsettling reminder that the standards that make a good society possible cannot be taken for granted. It doesn't take much to set them aside. That's why those standards and the beliefs that make them possible must be taught and renewed continuously.
As one Oakland pastor wrote, what happened on October 23rd "is reflective of a societal breakdown that is not limited to the Richmond city limits."
And that's what should disturb us the most.

Running Head: REALLOCATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES 1 THE REALLOCATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES TO IMPROVE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN A TIME OF FISCAL CONSTRAINTS by Steve Behar A Dissertation Presented to the FACULTY OF THE USC ROSSIER SCHOOL OF EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF EDUCATION May 2013 Copyright 2013 Steve Behar

|This study compared the allocation of human resources of a K-12 unified school district in Southern California to the Evidence-Based model (Odden & Picus, 2008). Using document analysis and interviews of key administrators of the district, data was input into a spreadsheet to identify gaps between current practice and the Evidence-Based model. Once the gaps were identified, recommendations were made to reallocate human resources toward strategies that research suggests lead to improvements in student achievement. The district demonstrated overall success in improving student achievement over the previous four years. During the same time period, the district, and all schools that were in Program Improvement, except one middle school, successfully exited Program Improvement. This study determined the district had successful programs for staff and students to improve student learning, but there were opportunities to reallocate human resources to continue to improve student achievement. Fiscal limitations prevent the district from funding human resources at the levels recommended by the Evidence-Based model, but other opportunities to reallocate staff exist. This study makes specific recommendations for how this can be achieved, given fiscal constraints, to improve student achievement. Possible reallocation strategies included filling special education instructional aide vacancies with general education instructional aides and using the financial savings to fund extra support tutoring for struggling students, increasing K-3 class sizes and deferring step and column salary increases to generate full-time instructional coaches for all schools, and re-negotiating contract language for the professional work day of teachers.

Maurer tabbed for Sunday finale in Miami
MIAMI -- Right-hander Brandon Maurer will start Sunday's series finale at Marlins Park, Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon announced on Friday afternoon.
Maurer will fill in for James Paxton, who went on the disabled list April 9 with an oblique injury. His replacement, Blake Beavan, pitched four innings on Tuesday and then landed on the DL with a sore shoulder.
Top prospect Taijuan Walker could've made the start had he not developed shoulder issues as well. Walker was shut down during a rehab start on Tuesday with tightness. The only other pitcher at Triple-A Tacoma on the 40-man roster is Anthony Fernandez, who pitched on Wednesday.
Asked whether Maurer was getting the nod because there weren't any other options, McClendon didn't think so.
"I think he's probably deserving," McClendon said. "He was in consideration during Spring Training to make this club. I think he deserves the opportunity."
The 23-year-old went 5-8 with a 6.30 ERA in 22 games (14 starts) in 2013, his first season in the big leagues.
Maurer has posted a 0-0 record and a 2.16 ERA in four outings (one start) for Tacoma. He is rebuilding his arm strength after a back injury limited him during the spring. Maurer has pitched just 8 1/3 innings.
"I think he's on a pitch count," McClendon said. "I don't want to say what it is. I don't want the opposition to know what it is, but he's like anybody else. We need to watch what he does out here."

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 82 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
Chameleon Endeavors
I am a free lance strategy consultant that provides business strategy, branding initiatives, and market research work (market research is via surveys and focus groups). I help businesses transform by using consumer insights and competitive analysis. The personality I want to evoke is sophisticated, professional, yet also intriguing and engaging.
I offer my clients insights that other firms do not by gaining unparalleled understanding of the consumer, business climate, and competitive landscape. I talk to consumers, company executives, and industry experts to build beautiful insights and innovative business strategies.
I also am a free lance writer in my spare time. Thus I want to feel comfortable giving out my strategy business cards (with logo) to people in the publishing world as well. For more inforamtion on my writing style please see my current blog: White Chameleon--changing colors.
The logo must also fit my personal image and style as I am the face to my company. I am a tall blond 32 year old woman who dresses in designer apparel.
I work with emerging and existing medium size companies in apparel (yes fashion!), consumer goods, media and entertainment. I would be working with executives. This logo will be on my website, business cards, power point presentations, invoices, etc
Due to the wide span of my client base I wish to be intriguing, lively, yet also highly sophisticated. As mentioned before I also write on the side, so this logo should also somewhat fit with any publishing agents.
Currently I am the only employee of my firm, but I do plan on partnering with other free lance professionals in order to provide my client the best brainpower and skill set possible to help them transform their business.
The image should evoke a sense of highly creative change--for example showing colors changing into one another or evolving.
The logo should:
-be able to stand apart from the name itself (i.e. like a nike swoosh or using the "C" and /or "E" initials from the name)
-use color
-be organic
-work for apparel/fashion (my main client base)
The logo should NOT
-be a chameleon itself
-be cartoony
-be cheesy
-be industrial or engineer-like
-be overly techie
I am open to multiple colors though I am partial to turquoise and would like it to be part of the spectrum that you choose if it fits.....
I wish to show transformation so circular rather than harsh boxy lines may work better?

LPA predicting growth factors?
Mplus Discussion
Latent Variable Mixture Modeling
Rebecca Shearer
posted on Saturday, July 24, 2010 - 7:04 am
Hi, I have estimated independently a 6-class LPA which fits well and a growth model of math and litercy which fits well. Is it possible to simultaneously estimate both in the same model? (e.g., estimate the LPA and then see whether the classes predict the intercept and slope for math and literacy within the same model?) I know it is problematic to output class membership and use it a second model since children do not 100% belong to classes (e.g., either output the class membership and enter these into a growth model). I just saw Logan & Petscher (2010) do this in a recent paper "School profiles of at-risk student concentration: Differential growth in oral reading fluency" Journal of School Psychology-- any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Linda K. Muthen

Yes, this is possible. See the following paper which is available on the website:
van Lier, P.A.C., Muthén, B., van der Sar, R.M. & Crijnen, A.A.M. (2004). Preventing disruptive behavior in elementary schoolchildren: Impact of a universal classroom-based intervention. In Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 72, 467-478.

I read through the article you suggested, do you know if there is an example of how to combine the code for the mixture model (LPA) and the growth model? Or if I should get in touch directly with the author of the paper? Thank you in advance for your help. (I have been trying to combine the 2 codes and end up estimating a growth mixture model, which is not my intent!)

You can either send your attempt to support or contact the author. Be sure you have a different categorical latent variable for the LPA and the growth.

Spherical Roller Bearing from Bearings
Spherical Roller Bearings are designed to work in applications where severe misalignment exists whether from mounting or shaft deflection and with relatively heavy radial loads and some axial loads in either direction. They are also extremely resistant to shock loads and their self-aligning feature allows full capacity loading despite shaft deflection. They are very similar in purpose to Self-Aligning Double Row Ball Bearings, except the Spherical Roller Bearings are designed to be more robust by carry heavier loads but at lower maximum speeds. These bearings have barrel-shaped rollers between the inner ring, which has two raceways, and the outer ring which has one spherical raceway. They are self-aligning because the center of curvature of the outer ring raceway surface coincides with the bearing axis.
Standard Bearing 239/670-MB-W33 NKE are produced with straight bores; however, tapered bores are available upon request and may be mounted directly on tapered shafts. Pressed steel and machined brass cages are typically used.
The boundary dimensions of rolling bearings are the dimensions that define their external geometry and have been internationally standardized (ISO 15) and adopted by JIS B 1512 (Boundary Dimensions of Rolling Bearings).
Types of Spherical Roller Bearings
For Spherical Roller Bearings, the dimensional series are:
21300 Series - ISO Dimension Series 13 Spherical Roller Bearings
22200 Series - ISO Dimension Series 22 Spherical Roller Bearings
22300 Series - ISO Dimension Series 23 Spherical Roller Bearings
23000 Series - ISO Dimension Series 30 Spherical Roller Bearings
23100 Series - ISO Dimension Series 31 Spherical Roller Bearings
23200 Series - ISO Dimension Series 32 Spherical Roller Bearings
232 / Series - Extra Large ISO 32 Series Spherical Roller Bearing
23900 Series - ISO Dimension Series 39 Spherical Roller Bearings
24000 Series - ISO Dimension Series 40 Spherical Roller Bearings
24100 Series - ISO Dimension Series 41 Spherical Roller Bearings
29000 Series - ISO Dimension Series 90 Spherical Thrust Roller Bearings
Other Types of Spherical Bearings
There are other types of "spherical bearings" including spherical plain bearings, rod ends, and spherical ball bearings. To learn more about the various kinds of spherical bearings, please visit "Spherical Bearings – Accommodating Misalignment" which explains the similarities and differences between the various types.
How to Properly Select and Order Spherical Roller Bearings
Bearings has nearly 1,000 spherical roller bearing products in its online catalog. If you need help in selecting the best products for your particular application, please remember that design engineering and application assistance are available from as part of our value-added services designed to make your job easier.

Hey all. Been a while since I've posted here, but I'm a bit stumped and I couldn't find any real good QT forums that are actually active.
I've inherited some QT code which creates widgets for displaying various aircraft cockpit instruments. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a processor hog. I need to get this to not take up so much CPU, as there's potential for 40+ instances of this dialog to be active at a time(crazy, but that's part of the requirements). The following is a piece of the compass widget. I've pulled out enough so that it's still very slow(in my opinion) for what it's actually doing, and somebody with a decent amount of QT experience might see something obviously bad here.
This is my paintEvent for the widget in question. It only gets updated every 400ms, yet is using between 6% and 10% of my CPU power(as seen in Task Manager, so that number may be off a bit). This is just one part of the compass, and the compass is one of about 15 widgets that I have to display. That means when everything is up and running my CPU is pretty much always above 50%.
The shape of the aircraft doesn't particularly matter, so any polygon would work for example purposes.Code:void Compass::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *pEvent) { QPainter painter(this); painter.setViewport(pEvent->rect()); painter.setWindow(-50, -50, 100, 100); painter.setRenderHints(QPainter::Antialiasing | QPainter::TextAntialiasing); //Draw compass background painter.setPen (PEN_DARK_GREY0); painter.setBrush(COLOR_DARK_GREY ); painter.drawEllipse(-48, -48, 96, 96); //Pulled from the DrawAircraft function QColor clrAircraft(0xEE, 0xEE, 0xEE); QPen penAircraft(clrAircraft, 1); painter.save(); painter.setPen(penAircraft); painter.setWindow(-60, -60, 120, 120); if (m_bolHasSensor && m_bolIsSensorFixed) painter.rotate(m_dblPlatformHeading - m_dblSensorHeading); painter.drawConvexPolygon(&AIRCRAFT[0], 16); painter.drawLine(0, -32, 0, -42); painter.restore(); //End DrawAircraft function //Draw outer rim painter.setPen (QPen (Qt::black, 2)); painter.setBrush(QBrush(Qt::NoBrush)); painter.drawEllipse(-41, -41, 82, 82); }
Is there something obviously wrong here?

NBC 5 and Telemundo 39, in partnership with the NBCUniversal Foundation, today announced $100,000 in grants to three local non-profit organizations. In its second year, the 21st Century Solutions grant program recognizes and supports innovative, high-impact initiatives in the areas of civic engagement, education, environment, jobs and economic empowerment, media arts and technology.
Local recipients include:
The North Texas Food Bank - $50,000
Consumer Credit Counseling Services of Greater Dallas - $25,000
Frontiers of Flight Museum - $25,000
Connecting NBC 5 to the community we serve.
The North Texas Food Bank was awarded a $50,000 grant in support of innovative software development designed to improve the process by which the organization distributes food and organizes its services for seniors. The software will eventually be made available to other food banks throughout the nation. The food bank is a leader in hunger-relief and committed to finding solutions to feed hungry children, families and seniors in the region.
Consumer Credit Counseling Services, Inc. of Greater Dallas was awarded a $25,000 grant to support the AIM Financial Coaching Program, which provides financial counseling, education, coaching and a structured opportunity to begin savings habits to 400 low-to-moderate income clients annually.
Frontiers of Flight Museum, Inc. was awarded a $25,000 grant to support its Flight School at Dallas Executive Airport, which offers summer camp for economically underserved children living in Dallas. Campers receive high-quality scientific instruction and exposure to economic and career opportunities in the aviation industry.
"We're proud to be able to support such innovative programs in our community," said Tom Ehlmann, president and general manager of NBC 5. "These organizations are addressing needs that our reporters regularly tell our North Texas viewers about."
John Treviño, president and general manager of Telemundo 39 said, "Our viewers support us every day by turning to us on-air and online. We welcome the opportunity to give back to our North Texas community and support key initiatives like these."
In addition to the $100,000 awarded in Dallas/Fort Worth, the NBCUniversal Foundation announced grants across the country totaling $1.2 million in the ten markets served by the NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations.
Launched in 2012, the 21st Century Solutions program supports initiatives designed to address emerging and ongoing community challenges in new and creative ways. By focusing on social innovation, the program encourages non-profit organizations to drive forward bold new ideas to make our local communities stronger.
NBC 5 / KXAS-TV is the NBCUniversal Owned Television Station serving the communities of North Texas with quality news and entertainment programming on NBC 5, COZI TV (Digital 5.2) and online at NBCDFW.com.
About Telemundo 39

These planters are thrown on the wheel by Potter Meredith at her Fern Street Pottery studio. They are thrown with a deep-tan stoneware clay then glazed in a speckled white glaze, allowing the clay to show through just a bit. The planters are approximately 3.5" x 3.5" each one is a tiny bit different, which is the beauty of handcrafted pottery!
This planter has a drainage hole and a built-in, attached drainage plate. You can put a small plant in it, straight from the nursery without replanting, or add more soil and plant the plant. Perfect for succulents, perfect size for your window sill.
*plant NOT included. Planter will ship empty.
Items will be shipped promptly after payment is made.
Shipping is automatically calculated and added at checkout based on your zip code, the weight and size of the package. This costs you LESS than if I were to add "free" shipping as a blanket cost. Shipping is not one size fits all, and I make every effort to keep costs low. If I am able to combine multiple items into one package I will happily refund any shipping charges that are over-estimated.
Pottery will be shipped within 1-3 days (usually 1-2 days) via USPS. I choose Priority shipping as the cost includes up to $50 insurance (check with your carrier to be sure of current policy)
I use new boxes made from recycled materials. I wrap very carefully with clean, recycled air bubble bags for light weight shipping. Packages have a professional label presentation, with tissue inside, ready to be opened as a gift.
Request a cancellation within: 24 hours of purchase
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
*Items are all hand made, they are well matched and represented, but as each one is unique, there may be minor, subtle differences in size, shape, or glaze color that are a natural and desirable part of hand made pottery and not to be considered irregular.
*Custom Orders and "Made to Order" items are not eligible for return or exchange.
*Please contact me via message about any return due to damage during shipping, please include a photo for insurance documentation.

Born: July 27, 1924, Warsaw, Poland
Abraham was born to a Jewish family in the Polish capital of Warsaw. His grandfather owned a clothing factory and retail store, which his father managed. Abraham's family lived in a Jewish section of Warsaw and he attended a Jewish school. Warsaw's Jewish community was the largest in Europe, and made up nearly one-third of the population of the city.
1933-39: After the bombardment of Warsaw began on September 8, 1939, my family had little to eat. The stores had been reduced to rubble; we had no water or heat. Hunting for food, I dodged German bombs and stole seven jars of pickles from a nearby pickle factory. For several weeks my family lived on pickles and rice. Because of a lack of water, fires from the bombing raids burned out of control. Relief came when the capital surrendered.
1940-44: By April 1943 I was in the Warsaw ghetto in a walled-off forced-labor area. During the ghetto uprising we could see the flames. We couldn't believe it. To one side I saw whole streets on fire. To the other I saw Poles in Warsaw's non-Jewish section preparing for Easter. When the Nazis liquidated the ghetto after the uprising, my father and I were among those marched out for deportation. Poles stood on the sidewalk, eyeing the suitcases we carried, saying: "You're going to your death, after all. Leave it for us."
Abraham was deported to Majdanek and then to seven other Nazi camps, including Buchenwald. He was liberated in transit to the Dachau camp on April 30, 1945.

CNET News is running a story about how Jerry Scroggin, the owner of Louisiana's Bayou Internet and Communications, expects big media to pay him for complying with DMCA takedown notices. No doubt Scroggin gets a little PR boost for his maverick attitude, and CNET keeps its traffic up by covering a provocative topic. After all, people love to see the little guy stick it to the man.
Here is something from the article that caught my attention:
Small companies like [Bayou] are innocent bystanders in the music industry's war on copyright infringement. Nonetheless, they are asked to help enforce copyright law free of charge.
A couple of assumptions in this statement need addressing. I submit that:
ISPs are not innocent bystanders.
As much as one may disdain the RIAA, the organization is enforcing legitimate copyright rights. Though an ISP may have no bad intent to help people infringe (i.e., the "innocent" part), infringing content does pass through their systems. And few would disagree that the owner of a system is in the best position to control what happens in that system. So unless we're going to turn the entire network over to a government, we must rely on the ISPs at the lower parts of the web to comply with the DMCA. They owe a duty. It's in this way that the ISPs are anything by innocent bystanders in the copyright wars. In fact, they're soldiers (albeit perhaps drafted).
Though the administrative burdens of DMCA compliance fall on the ISPs, the work is not undertaken for free.
The safe harbor that ISPs enjoy in return for compliance is a huge compensation. An entity in the safe harbor has more certainty that a suit for infringement would be unsuccessful. Were there more doubt about the outcome, there would be more litigation. More litigation equals more cost. And I guarantee you that those litigation costs would dwarf the administrative costs associated with taking down content identified in a notice. So substract the administrative costs from the hypothetical litigation costs, and there you have the compensation paid to ISPs for compliance.
What do you think?

Recognize signs of hypothermia; remember pets and neighbors during extreme cold
The deep, freezing temperatures across the country as of late may be putting smiles on the faces of avid ice fishermen. However, the temperatures are not enjoyed by all; and for some people with pre-existing medical conditions, the extreme cold can be dangerous.
Dress for the weather. Always layer so that you can adapt to environments. During extreme temperature events, remember that exposed skin can be compromised in minutes.
The body's normal temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Every person's body works hard to maintain that temperature. When the body temperature begins to fall, the body begins to shiver in an effort to produce more body heat. However, when the person's body temperature falls faster than the body is able to produce body heat, hypothermia develops.
Hypothermia is a condition where the body temperature drops to 95 degrees or lower. As a person becomes hypothermic, it begins to shunt blood away from the surface, or the skin, towards the body core in an attempt to keep the essential core organs warm.
Signs of hypothermia include:
- Shivering and exhaustion
- Confusion and fumbling of hands
- Slurred speech or memory loss
- Drowsiness
Treatment includes getting the person to a warm environment quickly. In addition:
- Remove any wet clothing from the victim and dry the victim as necessary.
- Use a heating blanket if available.
- Warm beverages can help, but only if the person is coherent enough to swallow.
- Call 911 or seek medical attention as soon as possible.
In cold weather, it's also important to make sure your home heating systems are running smoothly and your vehicles are well maintained and stocked in case of an emergency breakdown.
- Make sure all combustion-based devices are vented in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations. Carbon monoxide is the odorless, colorless gas that is extremely hazardous at relatively low concentrations. Store flammable and combustible liquids appropriately, not inside of occupied spaces. If burning wood in a fireplace or insert, make sure the flue is clean and free of obstructions. Check and test all smoke alarms.
- Weather protection – traditionally, windows and doors are where most heat is lost. Materials are available, such as plastic wrap and insulating boards, to help minimize the heat loss. Make sure all water services are protected and any outside faucets drained to prevent freezing.
- Vehicle protection – test water / coolant for freeze protection characteristics and add antifreeze if indicated. Always try to maintain at least half a tank of fuel so that if a road temporarily closes or weather changes you are prepared. Place a blanket, thermal socks, and gloves in a preparedness pack inside your vehicle.
Lastly, please remember your pets and your neighbors in this extreme weather. Even if the pets normally live outside, bring them indoors during these types of temperatures if possible. Pay special attention to your elderly neighbors, too, making sure their home heating is working properly.

If you read Melanie Waddell's story on AdvisorOne last Friday ("House Passes SEC Cost-Benefit Bill"), you know that, well, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that same day, which, should it become law, would require the SEC to conduct rigorous cost-benefit analyses on all of its future, and possibly some of its current, rules and regulations.
While the SEC Regulatory Accountability Act was passed largely by House Republicans (the 54% yeas comprised 218 Republicans along with only 17 Democrats), it might be construed as a "bipartisan" bill in that it's an attempt to make President Barack Obama's Executive Order 13563 into law—underscoring Wall Street's influence with the Republicans and the administration, if not most Democrats, in Congress.
Those of us who closely follow the SEC's drawn-out deliberations over Dodd-Frank Sec. 913, which requires the commission to establish a fiduciary standard for brokers that is "no less stringent than the existing standard for Investment Advisors," will recognize the Accountability Act as yet another attempt by the securities industry to shift attention away from the consumer protections of requiring brokers to put the interests of their clients ahead of their own, by focusing solely on the "costs" of doing so. It's a curious argument, to say the least, and yet one that seems to resonate in the halls of Congress as well as the White House.
As I and many others have written, one would think SIFMA, and NAIFA, and the SIA would be reluctant to admit that the brokerage business model would have a hard time surviving if brokers had to act in the interests of their clients; or that they currently don't do what's best for their clients because it would cost too much. And yet, that's exactly what they've argued, and now have the White House and a majority of congressmen arguing the same. I suppose they hope that if they can get a bunch of politicians to echo this silliness, the public and the media might start to believe that it makes some sense.
As for me, I'm holding out hope that the American people have more common sense than to go along with this thinking. The bottom line is that if doing the right things by other people was truly more profitable, we wouldn't need the SEC at all, nor most of our other federal and state regulatory agencies—and many of our existing laws. And resorting to a "cost-benefit analysis" only serves to illustrate this point.
Cost-benefit analyses are great business tools in cases where both the costs of a given product or service under consideration and the potential benefits (the anticipated profits) are readily quantifiable. But when it comes to ethical—or public policy—considerations, the "benefits" are often hard to quantify, rendering cost-benefit comparisons misleading. Didn't the legal tide turn against cigarette companies when internal documents revealed some of them did cost/benefit analyses which showed paying off smokers' lawsuits was cheaper than making their products safer? And do we really want health insurance companies calculating the financial advantages of delaying treatment to terminally ill insureds?
On the government side, is the FBI really cost effective? How about Social Security: Does that really pencil out? Or what about the FAA: Does it really prevent enough plane crashes to justify its budget? The list could go on and on.
These are ridiculous, right? Are they any more ridiculous than asking if protecting financial consumers is really worth the potential hit to brokerage firms' bottom lines? Particularly when the pension industry, private banks and RIAs all seem to thrive while putting their clients' interests first? To paraphrase Oscar Wilde: It's seems the securities industry is far more interested in the price of sound advice than in its value.

I used ComController for three years on my XP box firing it from a batch file triggered by my WinTV ini file. It worked great.
I just upgraded everything to W7 64 and of course it didn't like the version I had. I downloaded the new version and loaded my library and viloa it worked in test mode. I tried my batch file and got nothing, it fires but my plasma doesn't turn off. I have run it from a dos window and same thing, it says it finds the slot and sends the file but the plasma doesn't turn off. I tried the start and stop ComController from ccsend as noted but I don't see any changes to ComController.
FYI:I didn't get any new clues from the CCSend help thread.
Any help would be appreciated.

So the American U.S.S. Nimitz carrier started annual training in the waters off the Korean Peninsula. Concurrently, South Korean president Park Geun-hye toured the U.S.
Wasting no time, North Korea released another apocalyptic statement via state-run news agency KCNA:
What matters is that as soon as the chief executive of South Korea visited her American master and flew home after confirming "closer alliance", she invited huge U.S. aggression forces to south Korea for provocative saber-rattling.
And their statement about the U.S. carrier read like something out of Homer's Odyssey:
The heroic revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK will never pardon the provocateurs but throw into the bottom of the sea the U.S. carrier and other aggressor forces if they dare come in attack on the DPRK.
While the DPRK calls the exercises "a grave military provocation to unleash a nuclear war," the U.S. forces carefully note that they will only last two days and take place in non-territorial waters.
Despite looking ready to launch, the DPRK recently packed its Musudan missiles back into warehouses in what many analysts saw as a stepping back from the military brinksmanship that dominated prior months.

Born in a coastal town of North Wales, Kerry's passion for art was inspired by a love of beautiful old picture books (Rackham, Dulac and Beardsley were favourites and later on, Pre-Raphaelite painting and Art Nouveau). This developed into a degree in illustration in 1996, originally intended to lead to a career in book illustration.
Following University she worked in S.America before returning to the U.K. to work as a designer and illustrator for an exclusive company, specializing in sculptured clay murals for private residences in the Middle East, United Arab Emirates and the U.S.A.
Kerry now works independently from her studio at home in North Wales, using all of these influences and her flexibility to create pieces of art in a variety of subjects.
Kerry worked for years in pen and ink perfecting her drawing skills before diversifying into watercolours and later, a variety of mediums, acrylic and oil. Following her experience with the clay murals, she became interested in painting upon heavy textures and experimented widely to produce original effects.
Her acrylic paintings are uniquely formed upon board or canvas first, using
textures and gesso. The colour is then built with several transparent layers to create depth. Her abstract pieces were initially based upon satellite photographs of Earth which created the 'Volcanic' Collection in 2005/2006. This has since diversified to include contemporary landscapes and figure-work, all carrying her unique style.
Her work continues to evolve, and she is currently working with figurative paintings, using her unique style alongside realistic figure painting and portraits.
She also works with designers to create absolutely unique, luxurious pieces of art for an exclusive clientele.
