Readers respond to "Moles Wanted"
No need for RNC moles
I do not want to make it difficult for the FBI, local police, or anyone who cares to find out what is going to happen when the RNC rolls into town ("Moles Wanted," 5/21/08). It's already happening. The revolution is growing, gaining strength every day. All kinds of subversive activity permeate everywhere you turn. The revolution is you, me, him, her. We'll continue promoting thought. We'll continue encouraging action. We'll go where the wind carries us. We'll do whatever strikes our fancy. As for the rest of you, do your own thing. That's what it's all about. I don't see any potlucks in my date book, but you never know. (Na na na na na, can't catch me.)

Life before Louie Anderson
First off, thanks for doing a piece on comedy in the Twin Cities ("Get Up, Stand Up!," 5/21/08). But I have to take exception to a good chunk of what you wrote. To the layman, it may have seemed well thought-out and researched, but not to someone like myself who actually started the standup comedy scene in this town. It's been 30 years now since I walked into Mickey Finn's in northeast Minneapolis to pitch the owner on doing standup comedy on weekends there. I'm Jeff Gerbino, by the way, and I know you may have been growing eyelids when I was doing this, but how about getting some of it straight so the next generation of comics doesn't have to open up his comic bible and read, "In the beginning there was Louie and Louie saw that it was good."

Get your ha-ha's out
In your City Pages article, you wrote: "The ensuing backlash resulted in clubs all over the country going out of business. Today, just two comedy clubs, Acme and the Joke Joint in Bloomington, remain in the Twin Cities." You left out a few more. Scott Hansen, a Minnesota comedic veteran, has a new club in St. Paul called This Place Is a Joke, and I have been working on opening up the next premier comedy venue called MinneHAHA Comedy Club. Until a permanent location is secured I have been producing quality comedy entertainment at Tavern on the Ave. in Mankato as well as at the Steak and Ale in Bloomington. Both venues have had near-capacity crowds and have been very well received. I will also be involved with bringing comedy to the new Burnsville Performing Arts Center when it opens in early 2009.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Annoying Critics
Wow, Robert Wilonsky saw a different movie than I did with the latest Indy flick ("Indiana Jones and the Fortress of Sad Decline," 5/21/08). Wilonsky said it was "no fun at all," with "scant action sequences," "hoary dialogue," and "convoluted mumbo jumbo." He criticizes Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen, and Shia Lebeouf, and feels that the awful Temple of Doom is a far superior film. Let's face it, sequels have their challenges. How many times—Godfather II excepted—has the sequel been as good or gone in fresh directions successfully? After the long wait, I enjoyed the world-weary Indy dealing with a different set of bad guys, getting the tough, bright maid Marian back, and adding a much better sidekick than "Short Round" in Mutt Williams. And I saw plenty of action sequences. Some silliness, sure, but Indiana Jones is a very expensive set of serial episodes, after all. I hope no Jones fan lets any critic keep him or her from enjoying this one.

Doctors, do your part and help Cole
I hope your story about Cole's struggles to receive treatment will be fruitful ("Cole's Case," 5/14/08). The entire medical community can't be immoral. Hopefully somebody will step up to the plate and treat this young boy. This family deserves nothing less.

Sarcasm heals all wounds
Beth Walton has hit upon an interesting concept: doctors out to harm your children. And lucky for us, she has named names in her article. Being a recent graduate of this corrupt system, I can report to your readers that this is unequivocally true: The U of M actually does have classes now on how to deceive parents and how to cover up medical mistakes! And there must have been a huge error in this case—how else could doctors from three top establishments miss a case of central nervous system tuberculosis in a kid growing up on the impoverished shores of Lake Minnetonka? Duh! It's hard to imagine any alternative explanations! City Pages, sadly, has once again misdirected its "journalistic" energy on an interesting and valid topic through narrow research and completely one-sided viewpoints.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The University of Alabama football team worked for 90 minutes in helmets and shoulder pads Thursday afternoon in the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility, putting the finishing touches on its game plan for Saturday's home opener against the Tulane Green Wave.
"I think the big challenge for our team is to continue to try and create an identity and be a consistent, competitive football team that can play at high level and challenge themselves to play at their own capabilities all the time," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said. "The two things in the off-season that we emphasized was finish, which we did in the Clemson game, but also consistency and not play up and down. It's certainly something we want to address and improve on.
"This week will be a challenge for us. Bob Toledo is a very good coach. He's got a lot of experience and won a lot of games. They are tough and physical on defense and stop the run pretty good. Certainly they have some weapons and have some new players at key positions, like quarterback and so forth, so it's difficult to know exactly what you're going to see. This is almost like another opening game for us because we don't have a lot to go on, relative to what they have done this season."
No. 13 Alabama will host Tulane on Saturday, Sept. 6, at 6 p.m. (CDT) in Bryant-Denny Stadium. The game will be televised on a pay-per-view basis. To order the game, call your local cable or satellite provider.

from the Gaelic Cumar-nan-Alt, 'the Meeting of the Waters'.
The possible reason for this name is due to the proximity

A 22-year-old Hazleton man was arrested by state agents Tuesday after admitting to downloading child pornography, arrest papers state.
Michael A. Portanova was charged with dissemination of photo or film of child sex acts, criminal use of a communication facility and three counts of child pornography, all felonies, by the state attorney general's office.
He was arraigned Monday by Magisterial District Judge Joseph J. Carmody and taken to prison when unable to immediately post $25,000 bail. He awaits a preliminary hearing later this month.
According to court papers, the attorney general's office was investigating Portanova since Aug. 19 after an agent, who is also a member of the Pennsylvania Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, was alerted to violations of state law pertaining to child pornography.
At that time, court papers state, investigators found a computer that contained illegal content and traced it back to Portanova. The video was 23 minutes long and depicted a girl between 9 and 12 years old with a male voice in the background speaking to the child, police wrote.
On Tuesday, agents with the attorney general and West Hazleton police executed a search warrant on the address linked to Portanova's computer on North Broad Street in the borough but found that he had moved out of that home about two months ago, arrest papers state, so investigators went to his employer in the 100 block of South Pine Street, where they found him.
Portanova told investigators he lived at his new residence for about one week and had a laptop computer there, court papers state. He also admitted to viewing child pornography on his computer in the past but deleted it, arrest papers state.
Investigators wrote that Portanova told them he possibly had more than 1,000 images or videos of pornography involving children from 1 to 10 years old and would tell himself each time not to download it.

Hey guys, I've been lurking the forums for the past few weeks and I'm buckling down to make my first purchase.
I'm looking for a single speed with a possibility of fixed gear in the future. I've hit up the local bike shops, but I think I'm just gonna end up going with BD.
I'm stuck between 3 bikes at the moment because of the size availability:
Windsor Clockwork
Dawes SST w/ Bullhorns
Dawes SST Steel
Sadly, the Kilo TT's a bit over my price range but I was considering the 47cm since it's still available.
What do you guys suggest? And what parts should I buy/replace as soon as possible?
And what do you guys think of standover heights? I'm a short little lady with a short inseam (5'3" & around 28"). I'm probably going for a 49cm frame.
Thanks in advance.

Risk of Serious Infections(see also Boxed Warning)
Serious and sometimes fatal infections due to bacterial, mycobacterial, invasive fungal, viral, or other opportunistic pathogens have been reported in patients receiving TNF-blocking agents. Among opportunistic infections, tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, aspergillosis, candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, listeriosis, and pneumocystosis were the most commonly reported. Patients have frequently presented with disseminated rather than localized disease, and are often taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate or corticosteroids with ENBREL®.
Treatment with ENBREL® should not be initiated in patients with an active infection, including clinically important localized infections. The risks and benefits of treatment should be considered prior to initiating therapy in patients:
- With chronic or recurrent infection;
- Who have been exposed to tuberculosis;
- Who have resided or traveled in areas of endemic tuberculosis or endemic mycoses, such as histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, or blastomycosis; or
- With underlying conditions that may predispose them to infection such as advanced or poorly controlled diabetes (see PRECAUTIONS and ADVERSE REACTIONS: Infections).
Cases of reactivation of tuberculosis or new tuberculosis infections have been observed in patients receiving ENBREL®, including patients who have previously received treatment for latent or active tuberculosis. Data from clinical trials and preclinical studies suggest that the risk of reactivation of latent tuberculosis infection is lower with ENBREL® than with TNF-blocking monoclonal antibodies. Nonetheless, post-marketing cases of tuberculosis reactivation have been reported for TNF blockers, including ENBREL®. Patients should be evaluated for tuberculosis risk factors and tested for latent infection prior to initiating ENBREL® and periodically during therapy.
Treatment of latent tuberculosis infection prior to therapy with TNF-blocking agents has been shown to reduce the risk of tuberculosis reactivation during therapy. Induration of 5mm or greater with tuberculin skin testing should be considered a positive test result when assessing if treatment for latent tuberculosis is needed prior to initiating ENBREL®, even for patients previously vaccinated with Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG).
Anti-tuberculosis therapy should also be considered prior to initiation of ENBREL® in patients with a past history of latent or active tuberculosis in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed, and for patients with a negative test for latent tuberculosis but having risk factors for tuberculosis infection. Consultation with a physician with expertise in the treatment of tuberculosis is recommended to aid in the decision whether initiating anti-tuberculosis therapy is appropriate for an individual patient.
Tuberculosis should be strongly considered in patients who develop a new infection during ENBREL® treatment, especially in patients who have previously or recently traveled to countries with a high prevalence of tuberculosis, or who have had close contact with a person with active tuberculosis.
Patients should be closely monitored for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with ENBREL®, including the development of tuberculosis in patients who tested negative for latent tuberculosis infection prior to initiating therapy. Tests for latent tuberculosis infection may be falsely negative while on therapy with ENBREL®.
ENBREL® should be discontinued if a patient develops a serious infection or sepsis. A patient who develops a new infection during treatment with ENBREL® should be closely monitored, undergo a prompt and complete diagnostic workup appropriate for an immunocompromised patient, and appropriate antimicrobial therapy should be initiated.
In 38 ENBREL® clinical trials and 4 cohort studies in all approved indications representing 27,169 patient years of exposure (17,696 patients) from the United States and Canada, no histoplasmosis infections were reported among patients treated with ENBREL®. Nonetheless, post marketing cases of serious and sometimes fatal fungal infections, including histoplasmosis, have been reported with TNF blockers, including ENBREL®. For patients who reside or travel in regions where mycoses are endemic, invasive fungal infection should be suspected if they develop a serious systemic illness. Appropriate empiric antifungal therapy should be considered while a diagnostic workup is being performed. Antigen and antibody testing for histoplasmosis may be negative in some patients with active infection. When feasible, the decision to administer empiric antifungal therapy in these patients should be made in consultation with a physician with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of invasive fungal infections and should take into account both the risk for severe fungal infection and the risks of antifungal therapy.
In a 24-week study of concurrent ENBREL® and anakinra therapy, the rate of serious infections in the combination arm (7%) was higher than with ENBREL® alone (0%). The combination of ENBREL® and anakinra did not result in higher ACR response rates compared to ENBREL® alone (see CLINICAL STUDIES: Clinical Response and ADVERSE REACTIONS: Infections). Concurrent therapy with ENBREL® and anakinra is not recommended.
Neurologic Events
Treatment with ENBREL® and other agents that inhibit TNF have been associated with rare cases of new onset or exacerbation of central nervous system demyelinating disorders, some presenting with mental status changes and some associated with permanent disability. Cases of transverse myelitis, optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis, and new onset or exacerbation of seizure disorders have been observed in association with ENBREL® therapy. The causal relationship to ENBREL® therapy remains unclear. While no clinical trials have been performed evaluating ENBREL® therapy in patients with multiple sclerosis, other TNF antagonists administered to patients with multiple sclerosis have been associated with increases in disease activity.7, 8 Prescribers should exercise caution in considering the use of ENBREL® in patients with preexisting or recent-onset central nervous system demyelinating disorders (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).
Hematologic Events
Rare reports of pancytopenia including aplastic anemia, some with a fatal outcome, have been reported in patients treated with ENBREL®. The causal relationship to ENBREL® therapy remains unclear. Although no high risk group has been identified, caution should be exercised in patients being treated with ENBREL® who have a previous history of significant hematologic abnormalities. All patients should be advised to seek immediate medical attention if they develop signs and symptoms suggestive of blood dyscrasias or infection (e.g., persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, pallor) while on ENBREL®. Discontinuation of ENBREL® therapy should be considered in patients with confirmed significant hematologic abnormalities.
Two percent of patients treated concurrently with ENBREL® and anakinra developed neutropenia (ANC < 1 x 109/L). While neutropenic, one patient developed cellulitis which recovered with antibiotic therapy.
In the controlled portions of clinical trials of all the TNF-blocking agents, more cases of lymphoma have been observed among patients receiving the TNF blocker compared to control patients. During the controlled portions of ENBREL® trials, 3 lymphomas were observed among 4509 ENBREL®-treated patients versus 0 among 2040 control patients (duration of controlled treatment ranged from 3 to 24 months). In the controlled and open-label portions of clinical trials of ENBREL®, 9 lymphomas were observed in 5723 patients over approximately 11,201 patient-years of therapy. This is 3-fold higher than that expected in the general population. While patients with rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis, particularly those with highly active disease, may be at a higher risk (up to several fold) for the development of lymphoma, the potential role of TNF-blocking therapy in the development of malignancies is not known (see ADVERSE REACTIONS: Malignancies).11, 12
Cases of acute and chronic leukemia have been reported in association with postmarketing TNF-blocker use in rheumatoid arthritis and other indications. Even in the absence of TNF-blocker therapy, patients with rheumatoid arthritis may be at higher risk (approximately 2-fold) than the general population for the development of leukemia.
During the controlled portions of ENBREL® trials, 2 cases of leukemia were observed among 5445 (0.06 cases per 100 patient years) ENBREL®-treated patients versus 0 among 2890 (0%) control patients (duration of controlled treatment ranged from 3 to 48 months).
Among 15,401 patients treated with ENBREL® in controlled and open portions of clinical trials representing approximately 23,325 patient-years of therapy, the observed rate of leukemia was 0.03 cases per 100 patient years.
Pediatric Patients
Malignancies, some fatal, have been reported among children, adolescents, and young adults who received treatment with TNF-blocking agents (initiation of therapy at = 18 years of age), including ENBREL® . Approximately half the cases were lymphomas, including Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The other cases represented a variety of different malignancies and included rare malignancies usually associated with immunosuppression and malignancies that are not usually observed in children and adolescents. The malignancies occurred after a median of 30 months of therapy (range 1 to 84 months). Most of the patients were receiving concomitant immunosuppressants. These cases were reported post-marketing and are derived from a variety of sources including registries and spontaneous postmarketing reports.
In clinical trials of 696 patients, representing 1282 patient-years of therapy, no malignancies, including lymphoma or NMSC, have been reported.
Wegener's Granulomatosis Patients
In a randomized, placebo-controlled study of 180 patients with Wegener's granulomatosis where ENBREL® was added to standard treatment (including cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and corticosteroids), patients receiving ENBREL® experienced more non-cutaneous solid malignancies than patients receiving placebo (see ADVERSE REACTIONS: Malignancies). The addition of ENBREL® to standard treatment was not associated with improved clinical outcomes when compared with standard therapy alone. The use of ENBREL® in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis receiving immunosuppressive agents is not recommended. The use of ENBREL® in patients receiving concurrent cyclophosphamide therapy is not recommended.
Hepatitis B Virus Reactivation
Use of TNF blockers, including ENBREL®, has been associated with reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in patients who are chronic carriers of this virus. In some instances, HBV reactivation occurring in conjunction with TNF blocker therapy has been fatal. The majority of these reports have occurred in patients concomitantly receiving other medications that suppress the immune system, which may also contribute to HBV reactivation. Patients at risk for HBV infection should be evaluated for prior evidence of HBV infection before initiating TNF blocker therapy. Prescribers should exercise caution in prescribing TNF blockers for patients identified as carriers of HBV. Adequate data are not available on the safety or efficacy of treating patients who are carriers of HBV with anti-viral therapy in conjunction with TNF blocker therapy to prevent HBV reactivation. Patients who are carriers of HBV and require treatment with ENBREL® should be closely monitored for clinical and laboratory signs of active HBV infection throughout therapy and for several months following termination of therapy. In patients who develop HBV reactivation, consideration should be given to stopping ENBREL® and initiating anti-viral therapy with appropriate supportive treatment. The safety of resuming ENBREL® therapy after HBV reactivation is controlled is not known. Therefore, prescribers should weigh the risks and benefits when considering resumption of therapy in this situation.
Use in Patients with Moderate to Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis
In a study of 48 hospitalized patients treated with ENBREL® or placebo for moderate to severe alcoholic hepatitis, the mortality rate in patients treated with ENBREL® was similar to patients treated with placebo at one month but significantly higher after six months. Physicians should use caution when using ENBREL® in patients with moderate to severe alcoholic hepatitis.

I feel where choice exists then taking the least cryptic approach is best and rely on skills to build the more complicated stuff (viz my comments on AVG).

Suport and Measurement NeededNEVER HAVE WE BEEN SO POWERFULLY reminded of the role energy plays in our daily lives.There are tremendous supply challenges that should provide a convincing argument for corporate leaders to be as energy efficient as possible, as multinational corporations play an increasing role in responsible energy use.

OpenText brings social collaboration tools to the cloud
OpenText has announced that two of its social collaboration tools will now be available as part of the company's OpenText Cloud.
The announcement came this week during OpenText's Enterprise World 2012 conference in Orlando, Florida.
OpenText Tempo Social is a social collaboration solution featuring social feeds, communities and dashboards. The company also unveiled the OpenText Tempo Box for the cloud. The new Box cloud edition helps users store and share documents and other information across multiple devices, with industry-level security. The Box also allows for mobile syncing between devices.
One of the main concerns businesses have with cloud solutions today is the level of security they provide. OpenText said its cloud addresses that concern, by providing easy to use collaboration solutions with enterprise-level security protections.
"Social collaboration combined with secure information storing, sharing and syncing across multiple devices is resonating with users, but consumer clouds are creating headaches for organizations that need enterprise-class security to protect their information" said Steve Hunt, OpenText CIO.
The company also announced this week the OpenText Cloud for Enterprise Information Management. The Open Text Cloud provides deployment support and help with things like application management, security and upgrades.
OpenText touts its cloud as the only "purpose-built cloud environment for EIM that delivers EIM services and applications."

Is business good?
Mitt Romney has been arguing that we should elect him to the presidency because he will be good for business and therefore good for America. President Obama says that he also believes in business but that he believes business needs extensive government controls to restrain selfishness and preserve the common good.
At issue is the characterization of our system of economic liberty as a heartless gospel of "self-reliance." It works for the strong among us, they say, but it's a raw deal for the weak. But, by nature, business is a form of mutual reliance, not self-reliance. It would work better in practice if more people in business understood that, as many indeed do.
Back in the 1990s, Hillary Clinton told us that "it takes a village" to raise a child and form the citizens that make the world a good place. Former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum corrected her, saying, "It takes a family." Rick was right. But I think that Hillary was more fully right. (Of course, by "village," I think she meant the federal government. It was her way of saying, "You didn't build that." So in that respect she was wrong.) Nonetheless, in the African proverb she was citing we can hear Aristotle's dictum that "man is by nature a political animal," meaning that he can develop his full human potential only with the assistance of a wider political community.
A family forms every productive person, and every family draws moral support as a family from a wider community. These community supports are necessary for forming the virtues that our life together in all its dimensions requires. Business activity can take place only within a moral environment that is sustained by those virtues. It presupposes trust, and thus all the virtues and personal disciplines that justify us trusting one another.
Employees rely on the business-building and business-maintaining talents of employers who in turn rely on the talents, energy, self-discipline, and honesty of their employees. Business and their customers rely to a large degree on one another's honesty. And, of course, everyone in commercial life relies on legislators, judges, and administrators to be wise, restrained, and faithful to their trust.
But I won't end this reflection with a celebration of business as a well-struck note in the chord of social harmony. Instead I will issue a challenge.
When business seeks profit by undermining the family (e.g., the pornography trade and large parts of the entertainment industry) it undermines the integrity of the workforce and consumer market on which it ultimately depends. Healthy or at least intact family life is the primary means of forming good character in people, including their ability and inclination to provide for themselves and then for one another.
Not only government but also business should pay much closer attention to the effect of its actions on the family. Business will rise or fall with the character of those with whom and for whom they do business.

I'm sure everybody in here knows about optical illusions, but you might not know that these aren't the only systematic ways to fool your brain. There are grammatical illusions ( "More people have written about this than I have." ) and even moral illusions, like the one outlined in this experiment:
You're standing on a bridge and taking in the scenery, when you see the driver of a street car suffer a heart attack and die. The trolley is racing down hill, and no one is controlling the brake. Down the hill, five people are standing on the tracks, unaware of the train coming at them. Next to you is a fat man, looking in the other direction, standing near the end of the bridge. Will you push him over the ledge, knowing that his weight will stop the street car, killing him in the process, and saving the five people below?
Everybody says no, they won't; it's repulsive to think about. But now change the question in an insignificant way: Will you pull a lever, opening a trap door below the fat man, which will dump him onto the tracks, killing him, stopping the train, and saving five other people? Suddenly, things aren't so clear, and without the salient moral reaction, people think rationally, and most of them suppose it's better to save four "net" lives.
But my point is that every man in this forum needs to lose some weight, because we're the braking system of last resort for runaway trains everywhere! They're even building in trap doors to catch us. So, get out and put some miles on the bike, but in the mean time, watch yourselves around bridges and street car tracks!

African-Americans and Hispanics have been hit hardest by the economic downturn. Hispanics have seen a 66 percent drop in personal wealth, and African-Americans have seen a 53 percent decline in personal wealth since 2005.
The recession has afflicted these groups with two large blows from high unemployment to foreclosures. Unemployment damaged over 9 percent, the housing market collapse added to the demise of much of minority wealth.
Unfortunately, as we turn to the 2012 election, these two bitter pills that minorities have been forced to swallow have left a bad taste that may not bode well for those running for office. Certainly, there is enough blame to go around for the economic condition of the U.S. But the financial setbacks that these groups have suffered will take decades to reach recovery. It is estimated that the impact of the recession has pushed minorities back to wealth levels they maintained in the 1980s.
What will be most important is a solution-oriented campaign that speaks directly to the issues that minorities face the most. Although everyone has been affected by the recession, Hispanics and African-Americans are feeling the burn much more severely since they don't have jobs, health care and many have lost their homes.
There needs to be an immediate, aggressive approach in tackling these issues for minorities to stay engaged in the political process. High unemployment, foreclosures, health insurance issues, etc. are forcing this demographic to wonder what's in it for them in 2012. Keeping this segment engaged means a targeted approach. For example, more skills training is vital to get the unemployed back to work, and more aggressive requirements on lenders' mortgage modification programs are needed. The housing issue is very problematic due to high levels of unemployment, as it presents a vicious cycle, since one often leads to the other. President Obama recently asked mortgage servicers to increase forbearance plans to 12 months for unemployed homeowners. This increase should be coupled with more permanent modifications that include principal balance reductions to reflect the reality of where home prices currently stand.
It is quite unfortunate, but heading into 2012, these are still issues that are weighing heavily on Hispanics and African-Americans. Minorities are going to have to see some sort of light at the end of the tunnel, and a way to start re-building. In particular, they are going to have to see a way to regain what they have lost.
With a sense that they have shouldered the brunt of the economic downturn, and no clear end in sight, they will want to know that their concerns are being heard.

Washington President Barack Obama is doing his part to support small businesses.
Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha dropped in Saturday at Washington's Politics and Prose bookstore and purchased what he said was a "long list" of books that included "The Kite Runner," `'Harold and the Purple Crayon," and "The Sports Gene".
The president said he bought a reader for every age, from 5 to 52 -- his age. He paid by credit card. The total was not announced.
Obama sent a tweet earlier Saturday about the importance of supporting small businesses.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving has become known as "Small Business Saturday." It's designed to drive business to mom and pop shops between the whirlwind of Black Friday sales offered by large retailers and Cyber Monday deals from online sellers.

New study shows Floridians more at risk of tornadoes than people in any other state
Five times more tornado deaths than Kansas
TAMPA, Fla. - When you think of tornado country, the Midwest probably leaps to mind. But a new analysis shows Florida residents are at the highest risk of getting killed by a twister in the United States with a death-rate five times higher than Kansas.
The devastating tornados that killed 42 people in Central Florida in 1998 were believed to be F-3 or F-4 category twisters with winds in excess of 160 miles per hour. But they were far from typical.
"We have a lot of tornadoes, but luckily for us most of ours are weak, short lived and don't cause a lot of damage" said Daniel Noah of the National Weather Service in Ruskin.
But what our tornadoes lack in strength they make up for in numbers. Florida averages 52 tornadoes per year. And though those storms are weaker than the monster tornadoes that stalk the Midwest, a new study by the Southeast Regional Climate Center at the University of North Carolina shows more people are killed in Florida per mile of tornado track than in any other state.
One reason? Florida has a concentration of RVs, mobile homes and low income housing that make poor shelter against even F-0 tornadoes.
"I've seen damage where all that's left is the frame. The rest of the home has been blown away," Noah said.
And with a 12-minute average warning time, the weather service says those residents need to be extra alert, especially during January through April, when our tornadoes tend to be the strongest.
"If you're in a tornado watch and you see storms out to your west coming toward you, that's the time to act. Don't wait for the tornado warning," Noah said.
The stronger, dry-season tornadoes in Florida are also more likely to strike at night, leaving people more vulnerable.
That's why the weather service recommends weather apps like our ABC Action News Storm Shield in addition to a dedicated weather radio with an alert loud enough to wake you up.

Top Chef Hits Up New Orleans For Season 11 Premiere
October 02, 2013 11:00 AM by Stephanie Gustafson
Finally, finally, Top Chef is back! And we're not talking Top Chef Masters, as interesting as that reality rendition has proven. On tonight's Top Chef premiere, we return to the original premise — young, often incompetent chefs striving to hone their culinary skills. And what better place to accomplish such a feat than in New Orleans?
It's hard to believe, but we've already made it to the 11th season of Top Chef. And that's not counting all the crazy spin-offs, such as Top Chef Masters and Life After Top Chef. Although the spin-offs have proven popular among the franchise's most dedicated fans, it is the original format that really gets audiences excited. And that original format is exactly what we'll witness during tonight's Top Chef premiere.
That's not to say that the new season of Top Chef will prove stale and unoriginal. To keep things fresh, this edition of the reality competition takes place in New Orleans. Such a setting should offer plenty of opportunities for the latest batch of hopefuls, for, as Tom Colicchio explains in a recently released preview, "New Orleans is famous for their food and there's so many different influences here. There's French, there's Spanish, Creole, Native American…" Tom hopes that, surrounded by all these unique influences, the season 11 contestants will be able to "tap into the spirit of the food and the people and the culture of New Orleans."
So, which challenges are in store for tonight's season premiere? In Bravo's sneak peek, Padma Lakshmi explains that contestants will be skipping the usual quickfire round and heading straight for the elimination challenge, which involves "cooking in the heart of the Louisiana swamp." Pressure's on!
Will you be tuning in for the Top Chef season 11 premiere? Leave a comment and let us know!

Hot, Obscure GOP Battle
The political spotlight on Manhattan's East Side—an area once known as the Silk Stocking District—has focused on a fierce Democratic challenge to unseat U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, a Democrat. On the Republican side, meanwhile, bitter accusations and recriminations swirl in obscurity among the three contenders.
Vying for the GOP nomination in the Sept. 14 primary are Roger Blank, a former Bronx prosecutor now in private practice; David Ryan Brumberg, who recently served as a management consultant at McKinsey & Co.; and Dino LaVerghetta, an attorney.
In the 14th congressional district—spanning Manhattan's East Side, Roosevelt Island and a swath of western Queens—Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 3 to 1, making it difficult for a Republican to prevail in November. But that hasn't stopped the three GOP candidates from mixing it up.
During the final moments of a little-noticed televised debate last week, Messrs. Blank and LaVerghetta opened fire on Mr. Brumberg, accusing him of lacking true Republican credentials. Mr. Brumberg first registered as a Republican in New York City this spring, after he filed to run for Congress on the GOP line, they said.
"We have enough Democrats in Congress representing us already—we don't need another one," said Mr. LaVerghetta, 28 years old. "We need to fight and stand up for Republican values, and that's what I'm for."
Records at New York City Board of Elections show Mr. Brumberg first registered to vote in April. Mr. Brumberg's file shows no record of his ever voting in the city, though Mr. Brumberg's campaign produced an affidavit showing he attempted to vote in November 2008.
Records from Mr. Brumberg's previous addresses on Long Island and in California show him registered as a Democrat. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, he said, "The last time I did something as a Democrat I was 22." He's now 28.
Mr. Brumberg, who has outraised his competitors, said he's always been a "fiscal conservative," and pointed out that he worked on Republican Peter Hort's unsuccessful campaign to unseat Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler in 2004. Mr. Hort called Mr. Brumberg "wicked smart."
Mr. Brumberg said he tried to register as a Republican in 2007, but he claimed the city board lost his paperwork. "I literally tried multiple, multiple times this year alone to register," he said, "and every time nothing happened." He acknowledged that the only proof of his GOP affiliation is his April registration on file at the board.
Beyond GOP credentials, the candidates have accused each other of lacking ethics and failing to make proper disclosures on campaign-finance reports.
A complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission accused Mr. Brumberg's campaign of failing to report rent payment for his campaign office on his July financial-disclosure report. In a response, Mr. Brumberg called the allegations "frivolous" and asserted the payments were made after the filing deadline.
Mr. Brumberg accused Mr. LaVerghetta of "cybersquatting"—purchasing Internet domain names of his opponents. He also raised questions about Mr. LaVerghetta's petition filing for the Libertarian line, saying the campaign knowingly filed without having enough signatures.
These allegations are part of an ethics complaint sent this week to the departmental disciplinary committee of the state Supreme Court appellate division, according to a person on Mr. Brumberg's campaign who is familiar with the filing.
"He's run what I would call a highly unethical campaign," said Mr. Brumberg, referring to Mr. LaVerghetta. "When I say those guys are a skuzzy campaign, I truly mean they're skuzzy."
Mr. LaVerghetta said the accusations in the ethics complaint are the "gasping last breaths of a dying campaign." He said there is nothing unethical or illegal about securing domain names, and he acknowledged that he might have fallen short on the number of signatures needed for the Libertarian line.
On policy issues, the candidates for the most part agreed with each other during the Aug. 27 debate. They supported extending tax breaks for the wealthy, backed offshore oil drilling and voiced support for gay marriage. They all opposed the building of a mosque near Ground Zero.
Messrs. LaVerghetta and Blank said they are supporting Rick Lazio for governor. Mr. Brumberg said he's backing Mr. Lazio's rival, Carl Paladino.
At one candidate forum, Mr. LaVerghetta suggested he would have voted for the bank bailout, a policy Mr. Brumberg lambasted as a "major mistake" and the product of "politicians who simply don't understand economics." Mr. LaVerghetta said Friday he "incorrectly phrased" his position and actually opposes the bailout.
Mr. LaVerghetta has the endorsements of the Manhattan and Queens Republican parties. He also has the endorsement of the Independence Party and will appear on its line in November.
Over the years, the GOP's dominance on Manhattan's East Side has slowly eroded. Ms. Maloney defeated Bill Green, a Republican, in 1992 and has held the seat since. In 2002, Republican Roy Goodman resigned from the state Senate and was replaced by Democrat Liz Krueger.
This year, Ms. Maloney has faced a robust challenge for the Democratic nomination from Reshma Saujani, who aspires to become Congress's first Indian-American woman. The two will face off in their only debate Tuesday. Many observers believe the winner of that race will ride to victory in November.
Mr. Hort said whomever wins the GOP nomination will face long odds. But, he said, "Politics is about putting yourself in a position to be lucky."

It's hard out here for a female in pop. Especially one who's recently given birth to her second child.
"I'm up all night but not for any rock star reason, I'm feeding a baby!" Indiana laughs. "It's so empowering, though. I'm proud of my situation."
With a name paying homage to everyone's favourite fictional archaeologist, the singer-songwriter was discovered without even meaning to be found. By chance, John Beck heard her version of 'Gabriel' that she'd put up online.
"I thought it was by Joe Goddard, but he'd remixed it," she says. Not only did Beck get in contact and invite her to his studio for some collaborative writing, he admitted to preferring her cover to the original.
For someone whose path into the industry was more or less accidental, she's already sung to two institutional giants in the UK – the monarchy ("It was a scary day, but at the end of the day the Queen's just a little old lady") and our most cherished festival ("I just remember thinking, 'Oh my God, I've just said hello Glastonbury!'"). Having sprung up from the East Midlands at an alarmingly rapid pace, she is now on her way to releasing an album.
Some artists, when tasked with describing their sound, return little more than a blank stare and an "umm" or an "ahh". But not Indiana, who looks us in the eye and declares that it's "moody, electronic, '80s-inspired synths with haunting layered vocals". Matching this dark, soulful sound, in visual form her tracks are fantastical, fairy tale creations, where she's taken on a directing role.
Now her hard work is truly paying off as Goddard, the man who inspired her to record in the first place, is on board for remix duty on her next single. "He said he was really excited to get onto the project. For it to come full circle is amazing," she glows.
We round off on the topic of Harvey and Etta, her two children, and she emphasises that she'd like to think her situation "could inspire other people to not have to decide between having a family or a creative career. You've just got to be willing to be up all night and up all day!"

WHERE: Nottingham
WHAT: Menacing, melancholic poptronica with swirling synths
GET 3 SONGS: 'Mess Around' (video above), 'Smoking Gun', 'Bound'
FACT: Simon Amstell came to a supporting slot of hers, specifically to see her, because he left immediately after her performance.

Emerson Selected For Power Plant Modernization Project
Emerson Process Management has received a contract for technology and services to automate two units of the Ambarli power plant, west of Istanbul, Turkey. The units are being updated by engineering contractor EPP to help the state-owned EÜAª generating company meet the increasing demands for electricity in Turkey, Emerson said.
The contract is part of a rehabilitation and repowering program implemented to improve performance, reduce environmental impact and increase total plant output by 516 MW, according to the company. The oil-fired units 4 and 5 are being converted to natural gas with the installation of two new combined cycle gas turbines and heat recovery steam generators, and the rehabilitation of the two existing 150 MW steam turbines.
Emerson specialists will manage the automation project and be responsible for the design, procurement and installation of all instrumentation and control systems, as well as overseeing the commissioning and start-up of both units, scheduled for April 2012.
Emerson's PlantWeb digital plant architecture with the Ovation expert control system will replace the existing controls. The Ovation system will directly control each unit's steam turbine and balance-of-plant processes and equipment. Emerson will also install a full range of instrumentation, including its Rosemount measurement equipment.

Hi all,
I'm yet struggling for some time with this error:
I get the same error with zmcontrol start.Code:
zimbra@zimbraserv:/$ zmcontrol status
Unable to determine enabled services from ldap.
Unable to determine enabled services. Cache is out of date or doesn't exist.
The problem lies with LDAP.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Zimbra (also removed some dir's as I read here on this forum somewhere - the do a FULL uninstallation). I tried installing without LDAP and still getting the LDAP error.
Seems that it started after a reboot. It worked fine for a few days. Of course, for the moment, I cannot reach the webclient or Admin Console.
Thanks in advance!

Niche business loans can help meet some of the short-term needs of businesses. Cash flow projections and how/when revenues are realized are critical in the lending institutions' evaluation and assessment of a business for these loans. While there are certain industries that are categorized as high-risk, i.e. medical offices with high accounts receivable, and restaurants, bars, and nightclubs that have little in the way of collateral and construction with its seasonality, these types of business have other options they can explore.
"Factoring" could be a viable option for these types of businesses. Factoring is the process of selling accounts receivable at a discounted rate, improving cash flow, relieving the business of collections, and creating a growth environment. Two critical considerations before factoring are TMV (Time Value of Money) and the ROI (Return on Investment). Even though the dollar today is more valuable than in the future, consider what that value may be and what value it will return if you sell the receivable. Financing can be leveraged to help gain the most beneficial returns.
Still, factoring does have its limitations, such as if no credit history is reported, and the percentage is typically based on the receivables. Some favorable aspects of this type of financing are: credit score is not an issue, no debt is assumed and, often, these transactions can help bridge the gap while credit is being established or while waiting for a credit line increase.
While banks and lending institutions enjoy being recognized in economic development projects, other institutions contribute directly to this growth through private niche programs. One such program is the USDA's "RURAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LOAN AND GRANT (REDLG). This program provides funding to rural projects through local utility organizations [via] zero interest loans. They pass [these savings] through to local businesses to establish revolving loan funds for projects that will create or retain rural jobs " (USDA, 2014).
There are several other valuable loan and grant programs available as well, such as one Virginia introduced. Their "Small Business Financing Authority's Economic Development Loan Fund is designed to fill the financing gap between private debt financing and private equity. Funds are provided to create economic benefit through increased revenues and the creation of new jobs and the retention of "at risk" jobs in Virginia" (Virginia.gov).
These are a small sampling of special niche economics loans that are available. A little research and time investment will benefit you and help you uncover the right program for your type of business.

UK Family Law
UK Family Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
Thanks for your question. It's a difficult situation and you have my sympathies.
There is no requirement for a Will to be lodged somewhere specific, it's would have been the choice of your father where he left it. If he used solicitors during his lifetime then I would certainly give them a call and let them know the situation and that you need to find out if he has lodged his Will with them.
If he has made a Will then it will specify who he wished his executors to be and the solicitors will get in touch with them (if you are not named as executors yourselves) and refer the matter to them urgently.
A person can lodge their Will at the probate registry and you can check to see if they will confirm if they have it lodged but you will have to explain your situation to them. This is not a requirement and it is fairly uncommon to have it lodged in this way - most people either leave it with their solicitors or retain wills themselves:-
If the estate is small (eg. less than £5000.00) then a grant of probate may not be required and the estate could be administered with a grant. If the estate is much more than this then a grant of probate will be required. If this is the case then you should make a "standing search" of the calender, which will notify you and send you a copy of the grant if one is take out within 6 months of the date of the search:-
If you have real concerns about your sister then you and your other sisters need to get immediate specific advice from a local solicitor who will write to your other sister and explain your concerns, it may be that this becomes a case of contentious probate or it may prompt her compliance. You should also call the banks and tell them of your concerns.
If this is useful please kindly click accept so that I may be rewarded for my time. It will be gratefully received and you will be free to ask follow up questions.
Kind regards,
Sorry, I hope you are able to appreciate that there is little point in sugar coating the situation for you.
You should ask your other sisters if they are aware of him using solicitors in his local area for any other purposes (eg. buying a house?) and then try contacting them. Alternatively you could just try calling the main local solicitors. It's a bit of a fishing exercise really and to be safe I would take the advice of a local solicitor.
I hope this clarifies, if so please click accept.

text: Hello everyone. I'm extremely new to road bikes and I could use help. I'm going to be doing about 60 mile rides eventually as my first goal (city to city with mostly flats with minor hills). Due to my financial situation with paying med bills I have a budget of about 400$. What would be a decent road bike to start with? I'd plan to upgrade parts etc. I realize the price is quite absurdly low but any decent bike in my price range would help out tons. Especially one that could handle the distances ill be required to ride.
