A little long, 'Avengers' delivers on many levels
'The Avengers'
Starring: Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson
Director: Joss Whedon
Rated: PG-13
Summer has begun, and "The Avengers" has established itself as the blockbuster to beat with a record box office of more than $200 million in its opening weekend. That is an astounding return by any standard and sets the bar impossibly high. The remaining superheroes with summer movies will have to do super business to even come close.
This is a whiz-bang joy ride from start to finish with an exceptionally balanced mix of action, humor and pathos to fascinate filmgoers of every age. Yes, this is for fan boys as well as families – and anyone else who wants to see what all the fuss is about. Marvel Films' plan to roll out the Avengers one by one with their own films leading up to this one was a controversial move that had plenty of doubters as to whether the interest in the franchise could be sustained over a period of several years.
First came "Iron Man" with Robert Downey Jr. playing the billionaire playboy turned action figure, Tony Stark. This was followed by the "Hulk," (played by Edward Norton and in a previous outing, Eric Bana), followed by "Thor" (Chris Hemsworth) and "Captain America" (Chris Evans) last summer. In between, Iron Man earned himself another movie, and along the way we were introduced to other characters such as Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), all agents of S.H.E.I.L.D., the shadowy international law enforcement group headed by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).
Now they all come together in "The Avengers" as Thor's adopted brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston), seething with envy and driven by a lust for power, comes to earth to take the Tesseract, the crystal found at the bottom of the ocean in "Captain America." With it he can control the universe and have revenge on his more popular sibling, and with all of his resources he is a formidable foe who must be stopped.
His secret weapon turns out to be a hunch that this super group of folks will not be able to get along well enough to work together to save the planet. And he's proved right as they are summoned to Fury's fabulous headquarters in the sky, a floating, invisible aircraft carrier, where they squabble like children.
This is where the brilliance of writer/director Joss Whedon is evidenced as character development continues to factor in, giving each of these seven super men and women more depth. As in previous outings, Downey's Iron Man is glib and snarky, while the earnest Thor and Captain America's patriotism provide a continuous flow of fodder for him to poke fun at. The more intriguing aspects are the back-stories of Black Widow and Hawkeye as more is revealed about their troubled pasts. The newest member of this group and their secret weapon is Hulk, and, hopefully, Marvel and all concerned will stick with Mark Ruffalo, who seems to grasp the inner fury and intelligence of the conflicted character.
The final battle for earth as Loki unleashes his intergalactic army is a wonder of CGI and 3D technology. While it is a marvel to see, in an almost two-and-a-half-hour running time, this felt prolonged and fatigue set in for me.
Whedon's specialty is not in the big show but in the more nuanced interplay between the characters and that, more than likely, will generate the fantastic word of mouth about this film. It is nothing short of genius to take this genre and turn it on its ear — again. It's been done before when Christopher Nolan took on Batman, driving the character into a very dark place. If any film can beat "The Avengers" at the box office this summer, it will be the third and final installment of the "Batman" trilogy, "The Dark Knight Returns."
But Whedon's approach emphasizes substance over style, and if he can sustain this, it should keep audiences coming back for more. If you doubt that there is more, do not leave your seat before the final credits role.

Recognising and rewarding customer loyalty has become the mainstay of a sustainable business-client relationship.
With 95% of marketers paying attention to enhancing the customer experience, rewards programmes are now a vital element of B2B business strategy.
Year after year, thousands of Europe's most proactive marketing and sales professionals descend on the B2B Marketing Show, hungry to find tips, techniques, innovations and strategies to transform their companies into the biggest names within their respective fields.
The Northern Business Exhibition takes place in Manchester and brings together thousands of professionals every year, making it the largest business show in the North of England. It is the go-to event for anyone starting or growing a business in a challenging economic climate, as well as for business professionals looking to improve skills and develop key relationships through networking. So, why not take the opportunity to come and visit us on stand G24.
Rewards programmes have been around for at least a century now, but their significance was never more appreciated. The growing realisation of the importance of loyalty continues to spawn a plethora of loyalty programmes in every industry. The good news is that more and more customers are enrolling themselves into these programmes.
Companies spend billions of Pounds in their efforts to improve their customer engagement and to encourage customer loyalty. That makes loyalty programmes one of the most significant business investments. Naturally, they expect this investment to reap sizeable returns too.
However, most of the loyalty programmes fail to produce those returns.
An average adult is estimated to make roughly 35,000 decisions per day. Each of us is bombarded with an overwhelming amount of information throughout the day. Advertisements, road safety signs, people, traffic, our chores, work tasks, shopping, entertainment, family commitments and more demand our attention and drain us of our energy.
If you are old enough to remember when there were last minute holiday offers abound and sitting in front of the television watching Teletext holidays, hoping to get the information and contact details written down before the screen moved on and having to wait for 33 pages to scroll by, or turned up at the airport with your suitcase packed asking "where can I go to today?", then things have changed dramatically, or have they?
As early as 1990, Harvard Business School, in partnership with Bain & Company, conducted a study on customer loyalty in the e-commerce industry and found that a 5% increase in customer retention increases the profits by 25% to 95%.
The Scottish Business Exhibition is the biggest business event in the country, attracting thousands of entrepreneurs and business professionals who are looking for new ways to develop their business network, find cost-effective suppliers, learn from inspiring seminars and understand how to remain competitive in today's industry. So, why not take the opportunity to come and visit us on stand 334.
The B2B space accommodates only a slim margin for error. The number of clients is small, and customer retention is vital to the success of a B2B enterprise. Therefore, companies should do their best to not only acquire but also retain their customers.
Enterprise clients and retail consumers have fundamental differences in how they approach purchases. Enterprise clients make purchase decisions after thoroughly analysing the value proposition, the potential for long-term partnership, and operational synergies.

Conceptually, a customer loyalty programme is pretty straightforward to comprehend. At its simplest level, a customer earns rewards from repeated business in the form of points, discounts or free items and the businesses increase sales. It's a basic but very powerful strategy.
B2B rewards programmes are great for inspiring loyalty among your existing clients. But how can you go about attracting new business with this type of system? We outline a few ways to capitalise on the opportunities for increasing sales with Prosper² Rewards.
We're all familiar with the concept behind a B2C loyalty programme. Air Miles, Nectar Points, Boots Advantage Points – there are many famous versions of the central idea that spending more money at particular outlets leads to the accumulation of loyalty points which we can use for future spending.
As businesses, we all want to ensure we generate as much revenue as possible from each one of our customers. One of the most valuable ways to do this is to increase the amount that each customer spends with us over the lifetime of the relationship
In a competitive marketplace where customers find it easy to switch supplier, loyalty programmes are an effective way to maximise and develop your customers and improve your profitability. If you want to build a loyal clientele, keeping the customer satisfied isn't always enough.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 98 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
We run a website creation website where people/businesses can create their own website without knowing any html or programming skills. Everyone can sign up for a free trial
Anyone and everyone who wants to build a website with no prior knowledge.
We have a website that allows people who do not know any html or programming can build their own website through an easy to use interface. We want a fresh new look, logo and layout.
The website is http://www.websites-now.net/
We would like the logo in top left, simple 5 option menu across top (Features, Pricing, Website samples, e-commerce, FAQ) with smaller submenu in top right (home, login, help/support and 800 tel#)
• This projects design will be requiring a good looking logo.
• Will require a place holder for a video
• The entire top menu/logo section should use up about... hmmm lesss than 1/3rd of the total viewable screen on a 1024/768 resolution
• the next 1/3+ will have the 3 steps/video/css section with options to start a trial or test it out
• under that some icon bullets covering the top 8 points we want to make, some content/text to plug kwds and some screenshots and testimonials
• followed by a bottom menu.
We like the step1, step2 and step3 on websites like these:
Other note worthy thoughts on the websites listed below:
http://www.site2you.com/ is maybe our favorite design/layout that we think looks most professional.
We like the layout and especially the step1 thru step 4 block, it's easy and quick with no need to go to another page for information - possibly mimic this with css rather than using flash.
we like the simplicity of the layout, we are considering a video also, so maybe have a place where we can add that later - possibly a "step 4" would be a tab to view a video
we like the simplicity of the layout though we think the colors are drab. We believe the top menu does well to focus on just a few main menu options rather than overloading. the resulting subpages go into more detail

Am I in an alternate universe?
Is the universe conspiring against me? Have I somehow offended the gods of karma?
In an effort to try and regain whatever karma points I seem to have lost, I present you with a little hint of good things to come...
Yes, an adult sized little cables hat (sorry about the colour..."vintage" stash yarn in "electric blue" for this one...maybe that's why my letters haven't arrived - I'm being punished for the electric blue!!). I just have to fiddle a little more with the pattern (you can't tell from the picture but it is a little big) - you won't have to wait much longer!

Kate (bluemountainsknits.blogspot.com) was not impressed with the latest issue of Interweave Knits either!

51% of U.S. Adults Bank Online
Fifty-one percent of U.S. adults, or 61% of internet users, bank online. Thirty-two percent of U.S. adults, or 35% of cell phone owners, bank using their mobile phones.
These findings are based on nationally representative surveys by the Pew Research Center designed to track an activity that is often held up as a proxy for consumer trust in online transactions and as an example of how one industry has enabled data to flow among different institutions.1
Both types of digital banking are on the rise. In 2010, 46% of U.S. adults, or 58% of internet users, said they bank online. In 2011, 18% of cell phone owners said they have used their phone to check their balance or transact business with a bank.
It is worth noting that 85% of U.S. adults say they use the internet, but someone's likelihood to have access declines with age.
Because of the gaps in access among age groups, differences among those who bank online are more pronounced. For example, since only 56% of U.S. adults age 65 and older have access to the internet, the percentage of that age group who bank online is just 26%.
The following table displays data based only on internet users:
Ninety-one percent of U.S. adults say they own a cell phone. Of those, 35% transact business with a bank using a cell phone.
Young adults (ages 18-29) and whites report the most significant increases for online banking. In 2010, 55% of 18-29 year-olds said they banked online; in 2013, 66% of that group did so. In 2010, 47% of whites said they banked online; in 2013, 54% of that group did so.
Younger adults are also leading the mobile banking trend. However, in contrast with online banking trends, non-white cell phone owners are more likely than whites to engage in mobile banking.
These findings dovetail with surveys conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs for the American Bankers Association (ABA). In 2012, 39% of U.S. adults said they prefer to bank online (up from 36% in 2010) and 6% said they prefer to bank on a mobile device (up from 3% in 2010). Adults between the ages of 18-34 years old are driving the growth in both online and mobile banking, according to the ABA.2

Siegel Wines is a vineyard of deep-rooted family tradition and trajectory that for generations has taken up the art of producing wines with identity, reflecting their place of origin and the family's commitment to excellence.
They are located in the Colchagua Valley, heart of the renowned wine making region of Chile.
Alberto Siegel was born in Santiago in 1946, the third generation in Chile of an Austrian family. His grandfather was an Austrian architect that built some very important and traditional buildings in downtown Santiago, at the beginning of the 20th century, including the Chilean Federal Reserve.
His father, Don Germán, was a viticulturist that spent most of his career in charge of Viña San Pedro's vineyards near the town of Molina, 140 miles south of Santiago. There Alberto grew up, literally in the middle of the vines. It was not a surprise when he decided to study Agronomy and specialize in winemaking at the Universidad Católica in Santiago.
After finishing high school, he spent a year working in wineries in Germany, and upon his return in 1971, he joined the German company Bayer. His job was to sell fertilizers to farm owners in the Colchagua area, 100 miles south of Santiago. Through this job he got to know almost every land owner, most of which were grape growers and wine producers.
A few years later and as a natural consequence, he started to act as a wine and grape broker, selling the production of small owners to the big Chilean wineries. He established Sociedad La Laguna, and he soon became the most important Chilean broker in this field, a position that he still holds today. There is hardly any Chilean person or company involved in the wine business that has not dealt with Alberto Siegel at least once.
In parallel, and together with his father, Alberto founded Viña Siegel in 1980. They started planting vineyards in Colchagua and building the Winery in Santa Cruz. When Don Germán died in 1998, Alberto became the owner, together with his family. In the beginning, Viña Siegel only sold bulk wines to the biggest Chilean wineries, like Concha y Toro, San Pedro and Santa Rita. In 1997, Alberto decided to enter the bottled wines business and made the necessary investments to go ahead with this project.
Alberto Siegel, father and son
The Colchagua valley is located in the Central Zone of Chile. It is a 'Transverse Valley", which means that it is a valley formed by a river, the Tinguiririca. The Colchagua valley is the leading fine-wine producing region in Chile.
It is in this valley where, more than 30 years ago, Alberto Siegel grew his first vines which would later become Siegel Wines. Now they have more than 700 hectares (1,729 acres) planted, which are geographically located from the Andean foothills to the coastal zone of the valley.
Los Lingues - One of Siegel's principal vineyards, it consists of 170 hectares (420 acres). It is located in Los Lingues, Alto Colchagua, which is in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It has a Mediterranean microclimate typical of the Andean foothills, influenced by constant fresh winds that descend from the mountains. The breeze present in Los Lingues throughout the day allows the vines to be well-ventilated and a constant temperature maintained, leading to a perfect ripening of the grapes which makes this valley unique.
The soils in Los Lingues are characterized by having excellent drainage, and are of Alluvial-Colluvial origin with the soil going from fine sand to clay and granite. There is little organic and fertile matter. Vina Siegel has found more than 60 different types of soil here. With an exceptional combination of rocky soils, it is perfect for varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Petit Verdot and Grenache. Also there are moderately deep clay soils, which are ideal for Carménere, Syrah, Mourvédre and Malbec. The climate and soils of Los Lingues give rise to more structured wines, with great body and color, smooth tannins of dry fruit and an exceptional balance.
El Crucero - This vineyard is located in Palmilla. It has 60 hectares (148 acres) of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines they produce from this vineyard are characterized by being more concentrated, with mature fruits and very sweet tannins. El Crucero experiences a very diverse climate, warmer during the day and very fresh at night. It is grown on alluvial soils, created from the waters of the mountain range.
San Alberto de Peralillo - This vineyard is located 6km inland from Peralillo in a sector called Parrones, at the extreme west end of the Colchagua Valley, an ideal place due to its coastal-influenced climate. This coastal influence allows for the production of excellent quality wines, and the cool climate helps to prolong the maturation and delays the ripening of the fruit. Furthermore, it is composed of a magnificent soil for the cultivation of vines, originating from the large volcanic eruptions of the 'Ring of Fire' in the high Andes Mountains. Here they have 205 hectares (506 acres) planted with 8 different varieties. The wines produced from this winery are fresh, subtle, elegant with a fast evolution and easy to drink. The slow and late maturation helps to maintain fresh fruity notes and less-structured wines due to the more volcanic soils.
The wine offers elegant notes of tobacco, mocha and roasted coffee beans. It presents soft tannins, wine of great balance with a persistent and long balanced finish.

The DA have accused President Jacob Zuma's lawyers of hiding the spy tapes. (AFP)
"If this is correct, it will prove our contention that the decision to drop the charges against Mr Zuma was irrational and unlawful," Democratic Alliance MP James Selfe said on Wednesday.
Tuesday was the deadline for responses to the DA's heads of argument on January 21, compelling the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to hand over the reduced record.
The NPA and Zuma's lawyers failed to submit heads of argument by the close of business on Tuesday.
Selfe said the DA was informed by the office of the state attorney late on Tuesday that it was unable to meet the deadline.
"This has further delayed the DA's quest to discover the truth about this case," he said.
The NPA could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.
Rejecting argument
?The DA rejected the argument by Zuma's lawyer Michael Hulley that submissions made by Zuma were confidential.
Selfe said: "Our heads of argument make it clear that the tapes were given to the NPA by the National Intelligence Agency and not by Mr Zuma's legal team, and that they cannot, therefore, be privileged."
In March, the Supreme Court of Appeal gave the NPA 14 days to produce the documents which were before the then prosecutions head Mokotedi Mpshe.
He decided to drop corruption charges against Zuma in 2009, claiming the case was politically motivated.
This decision was based on recordings of intercepted phone conversations – the so-called spy tapes.
Instead of producing the transcripts in April last year, the NPA handed them to Hulley.
Selfe said the NPA should be found in contempt of court because it had failed to comply with the court order.
Spy tape history
In June 2005 then-NPA head Vusi Pikoli announced his decision to charge then-deputy president Zuma with corruption related to the arms deal scandal.
In September 2006 the Zuma case was struck from the role when the NPA stated they were not ready to proceed, given disputes about validity of raids on Zuma.
In 2008 the Constitutional Court ruled that raids on Zuma were valid. Later that year, however, Pietermaritzburg Judge Chris Nicholson held that Zuma's corruption charges were unlawful on procedural grounds.
In January 12 2009 the Supreme Court of Appeal overturns Nicholson's ruling.
Later that year, however, acting national director of public prosecutions Moketedi Mpshe discontinued the prosecution of Zuma, citing as his reason the secret recordings – or spy tapes.
In his legal justification he described McCarthy's conduct as "a serious abuse of process", but emphasised there had been a valid case against Zuma. Mpshe released excerpted transcripts of the tapes.
In 2009 the DA went to court to have Mpshe's decision set aside, but the North Gauteng High Court dismissed the application.
In March 2012 the Supreme Court of Appeal overturned the high court ruling and ordered that the national director of public prosecutions produce the record of decision on which Mpshe based his decision to drop the case.
The prosecuting authorities refused to deliver the record on the basis that it contained the representations, which had been made on a confidential basis.
The DA then applied to receive what was termed the "reduced record" – the material on which Mpshe relied, minus the written representations from Zuma.
The North Gauteng High Court ruled that the party did not have sufficient direct interest or "standing" to bring the case and dismissed the DA's application for the record.
The DA took this ruling to the Supreme Court of Appeal.
In March 2012 the appeal court ruled in the DA's favour, making an important determination on the rights of political parties to go to court in the public interest.

Mumbai: These are not great times for Bollywood`s singers or so it seems if Shaan is to be believed.
According to the singer and TV host, these days, the song a singer sings may well be re-dubbed by someone else even before the film is released.
Describing it as a "sudden trend" in Bollywood, Shaan, best known for songs such as 'Jabse tere naina' from 'Saawariya' and 'Chand sifarish' from 'Fanaa', said he cannot be sure any more about his songs till a film is actually released.
"Just yesterday I got to know that a song I had sung for a big production house has been re-dubbed; someone else is singing (it)," the singer claimed.
"It is tough to say which songs or projects are there until a film releases. Sometimes, we also unknowingly re-dub someone else`s song. So until a film (releases) it is tough to say anything," contended Shaan, who began his career with ad jingles and re-mixes.
Another trend Shaan has noticed is what he calls the return of the "Indian feel" in recent Bollywood numbers.
"I feel that the melody and Indian feel are coming back into songs. People are liking them; it`s a good thing," says the singer who has also given us hummable numbers like 'Tanha dil' and 'Behti hawa sa tha who'.

- The 911 event cannot be implemented in the real world according to the law of physics --- and there is multiple and independent proof of this. Examples would be that a Plane would crash against the heavy and very strong WTC façade; fuel would ignite instantly producing a fire ball on the impact side of the Towers. The Tower would have had a dent from the impact. The Towers would still be there today. An additional point is the fall of the Towers.
This results in that ALL the 9/11 videos + photos is and must be fake, because the story itself is a fairy tale.
Add in that most of available material has been proved fake on its on merit.
- nonhocapito on 04 Sep 2012 wrote:All I am saying is that we heard a whole lot of things in 11 years but we never heard about the two towers falling at the same time. So, for interesting it can be, there is really nothing to back this up.
The main argument for a simultaneous demolition of both Towers, is that the Towers have to go, no one will see how or when, and the simplest method will do. I here speculate that a bunch of legal contracts + permits exist, so that the demolition is legal (hoi polloi don't like this disturbing view). Rather obviously, the Towers where empty/vacant. Even more obvious is that it was guaranteed that no one would be killed during the demolition.
There are some technical problems with a top-down demolition, and also if bringing down the Towers one at a time. I would like to see an experts opinion on these matters. Note that the "basement" of the Towers, 7 floors deep, built of steel, was common to the two Towers. If you shoot in the basement first, both Towers are coming down.
Here you should look at debris pile photos, where machinery and equipment is thought to be able to use "ground level" for "rescue work". I prefer the analysis I provided in FAKING THE RUBBLE where a split second is enough to discredit 99% of these ridiculous "photos". Though I agree with and appreciate other views provided of many other relevant problems of the photo material.
I much like the post Post by reichstag fireman on 02 Sep 2012 which expand and clarify an opinion I myself have had for some time. My thought was to hold the news in N.Y. until 9:03, so you don't have to mess with any missile or explosion. A smoke generator would do for the local audience.
- Satellite news feed. The following quote is very promising:reichstag fireman on 03 Sep 2012 wrote:Genuine "satellite" outages happen. In the case of NYC on 911, the broadcaster could have added some meaningless on-screen message to befuddle viewers: "Your viewing card is invalid - please contact service provider on 982-734-9228".
I would like to comment and improve on the post bynonhocapito on 04 Sep 2012 wrote:I wonder how many times I have to explain that I am not saying it was not technically possible to block satellite signal. But it was illogical and inconsistent with both the idea of how satellite signals work (why should the signal be disrupted at all?) and the fact that officially there were broadcasting from the city. For the third time: these are not technological objections, but logical ones.
A solution for the satellites would be to put an air plane with a satellite transmitter, or down-link, high up in the sky, as high as you can come, with a strong transmitter, that overtake the original transmission that is coming from space. The plane should be positioned between the N.Y. dish antennas and the actual satellite. This arrangement will enable the use of a different broadcast for the local N.Y. area, where a reality check might be performed by looking on the Towers or taking a photo.
This arrangement can have reasonably sharp border between broadcasts, as satellite receivers have dish antennas, which are highly directive. The transmitter on the plane can also have a directive antenna, so a well defined region is singled out. The transmitted signal should not destruct any satellite antenna, only dominate over the actual satellite. A combination of blocking signal and "alternate" broadcast can be used.
This I think is simpler compared to:Mickey on 05 Sep 2012 wrote:(1) Satellite footprints were all CONUS (Continental United States). DTV and DN did not have the concept of "spot beams" introduced maybe until a few months later. Maybe there was ability to block NYC region specifically (and you can insert theories about "satellites" authenticity here) but the knowledge of this was nowhere in the public domain. CONUS beam is CONUS beam. What was receivable in Alabama, was receivable in NY or anywhere else.
I have a recording, with (eg; sort of) English translation, of two witnesses that appeared on TV4 Swedish television in 2011. The statement given only moderately agree with the official story. The source video is in a 8G torrent, where a selective download of blocks 3799-3880 is recommended. D. Duck told me in 2009 of a witness with a reasonably similar story, as far as I can remember (this was second hand; I never met the witness).

By Andrew Selee & Christopher Wilson, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Andrew Selee is the vice president for programs at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and a senior adviser for the Mexico Institute at the Wilson Center. Christopher Wilson is an associate for the Mexico Institute at the Wilson Center. The views expressed are their own.
U.S.-Mexico relations have been dominated for the past six years by efforts to address drug trafficking and organized crime-related violence. This was the right thing to do while violence spiked in Mexico, but with a new administration in office after the swearing in of President Enrique Peña Nieto over the weekend, the time has come to re-balance the bilateral relationship.
Ties tend to have the same top three items on the agenda year after year and administration after administration: immigration; drugs and violence; and trade and economic relations. Drugs and violence have dominated in recent years, and cooperation in addressing the transnational flows of drugs, arms and illicit money, as well as support for Mexico's efforts to strengthen public security, must continue. Although the gains are still tenuous and the situation fluid, violence in Mexico does appear to have begun to decline at a national level and major advances have been made in key border cities such as Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez.
Immigration dominated the early 2000's as presidents Bush and Fox sought a bilateral deal on the topic, but it has since become clear that immigration reform is first and foremost a domestic political issue in the United States. The rate of unauthorized immigration from Mexico has now dropped to historically low levels – there are at least as many leaving as arriving – which should allow for a more rational and reasoned debate on this issue in the United States.
More from GPS: Misconceptions about Mexico
However, not since the negotiation and implementation of NAFTA in the 1990s have economic relations topped the bilateral agenda. Trade and jobs should once again top the U.S. agenda with Mexico for three main reasons.
First, the economy most likely will be the top issue in both the United States and Mexico for the next several years. Economic issues were clearly the top issue for voters in the recent U.S. presidential elections, and in Mexico they matched public security as the top set of concerns.
Second, by focusing on the creation of jobs and improving the competitiveness of manufacturers on both sides of the border, we can improve the tone of the relationship. We may even find that the stickier issues of security and migration become a little less intractable.
Finally, the economic agenda between the two countries has the potential to yield tangible results, creating jobs and improving the competitive position of North America vis-a-vis Asia. For years, Mexico has oriented its economy toward the U.S. in hopes of harnessing the growth of the world's most dynamic economy. Now, at a time when Mexico is growing around four percent a year – faster than the United States – Mexico can return the favor and provide a boost to the U.S. economy. Meanwhile, Mexico's large and growing middle class has become an increasingly important market for U.S. products.
More from CNN: New president measured against old corruption
As it turns out, U.S. and Mexican companies do not simply sell products to one another, they build products together, with parts zigzagging back and forth across the border as goods are manufactured. As a result, a product imported from Mexico is, on average, made of 40 percent U.S. parts and materials, meaning forty cents of every dollar spent of Mexican imports stays right here in the United States. Chinese products, in contrast, contain just four percent U.S. content.
This also means the competitiveness of our two countries is closely linked, and improvements in productivity in one nation make a co-manufactured product cheaper and more competitive on the global market. That is to say, growth in Mexico or the United States will boost exports from both countries: when it comes to manufacturing, we are in it together.
To produce results, the U.S.-Mexico economic agenda needs substance, and there is plenty to do. To start out, we must make the southwest border more efficient without sacrificing security. Today, long and unpredictable wait times act as a type of border tax, cutting away at manufacturers' competitiveness a bit more each time they send goods across the border.
Since we manufacture and export together, the United States should also join forces with Mexico and Canada in designing and implementing a global trade strategy. The first step is robust cooperation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations, but the end goal must be to expand the agreement until countries like China and India feel they will lose out if they do not join in.
The countries could also tackle ways of making customs procedures more efficient, ensuring regulatory frameworks are compatible, and integrating our transportation and logistics networks to keep up with regional manufacturers, who have already integrated production.
In the end, it is a matter of perspective. If Mexico is seen more as a business partner than a source of intractable problems, a whole range of policy options that were previously considered too risky to be tried will be within reach. If such a change in perception occurs, the results will speak for themselves.
STFU you re-tard.. what has he done for this country?
LOL, right on the money, of which he as borrowed so much we will always be in debt, like he wants.
he defeated mittens, so that has to count for something
If nothing else, he upsets you: that's good enough for me.
"Too much tax income is lost by:
1. Illegal immigrants being tolerated and therefore flooding
the labor pool and driving wages down.
2. Jobs being exported with no tariff or trade barrier, often in
operations that operate at a LOSS but then demand tax dollars to fill the gap
3. Monopoly/anti trust laws not being enforced so when businesses
don't dominate they co-operate, creating closed markets, fewer choices and artificially higher prices.
Real simple to fix. Start with #1... No more illegals. Too bad Romney says what works
at the time but means nothing, he had it right, check all employers and fully fine/prosecute/close
down any who hire illegals. We don't need no fence or profiling or original boys in the hood
at the borders, just do that. That'd save as many jobs as the high end "Unemployed".
Oh, you'd not do that kind of work, that's why you went to college?
Well a lot of people used to do that work, and most made a decent living off
of it, till the illegals flooded them out and they forced their kids into college
and same parents went back themselves.
After this the rich bleed like their wrist is cut. Then go for their throats, t
he exporting of jobs. No way shape or form should it be OK to make things
at a loss overseas then scream for "Tax breaks and subsidies" to make it up.
Do these both they collapse, but if they lose everything and close, big deal,
if they did something worthwhile someone will take their place – that's real capitalism.
They have no "Right" to be mega-rich, esp. if they do it at our loss. "
How many still feel Free trade is really possible?
Average worker in China $1.64/ Hr.
Average worker in Tiajuana $1.50/ Hr.
free trade with any country that has a significant wage difference than the US is
simply not a system designed to the benefit of the majority of americans.
the benefits are very limited while the pain is spread across all manufacturing sectors.
We dont have free trade with China but we have a tremendous imbalance.
they pay us between 8 and 14 percent to export to us and we pay a
15 percent MFN tax plus a 17 percent vat to them to export.
chinese companies also get a vat rebate from the chinese government when they export.
net result: they pay at least 18 percent less (not 18% less tax. 18% less of the total gross.
percentage-wise we pay more than 100% more tax) to export to us in taxes.
Republican Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has soft-pedaled her
opposition to the minimum wage law considerably
since 2005, when she was quoted as saying, at a
Minnesota State Senate hearing, "Literally, if we took away the
minimum wage — if conceivably it was gone —
we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely
because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level."
So then Adults would find lots of jobs available along
with teens but what adult would be able to live
on lots of choices of jobs at $4.00 an hour?
I take it Miguel has never owned or operated a business.
I can't believe the tasteless comments posted here.
Most fall short of making an intelligent point.
You call yourselves American?
.......be clear and highlight a concern. Show mutual respect.
Nieto needs Obama's help to combat drug cartels. He has pledged no return to the PRI's pre-2000 policy of tolerating drug cartels in return for civil peace, and has announced plans to establish a special paramilitary police force to fight the drug barons alongside a stronger army presence.
Well, you're not helping to improve anyone's opinion of his average supporter.
every dictator has supporters it's how they stay in power
Dictator? Really? Was GWB a dictator as well?
How does that dictate, pretty salty? Or like onions?
This POTUS is a piece of S*&t. Allowing our agents into Mexico without the ability to defend themselves because Mexico law does not allow them to carry weapons. What kind of garbage president would allow our people in that cest pool called Mexico under these kind of rules knowing the Mexican Police are corrupt.
"Cest pool" REALLY? Where did you go to school? Guatemala? (and I don't mean to insult Guatemalans, since they don't speak or write in English, they woulnd't know how to spell it, let alone know the meaning of the word CESSPOOL) And you call yourself American? No wonder other countries in the world are doing so much better than the US. when its own citizens don't even know how to spell.
GO BACK TO SCHOOL where they'll teach you that and also you might learn that even though you have the right of free speech, you should not insult the POTUS.
That's why he was reelected and the republican was humiliated. To find a republican president who was loved you have to go back a long way.
What is there to love about the token swirl Muslim who wants amnesty for all illegals.
Obama is great at giving the United States tax payers money--Nov. 19-he pledged $170 billion to Burma (Mayanmar ) to help their economic development.–What about New York and New Jersey.
"we should not provide incentives for illegal immigrants to violate our
laws. Many people want to come to America to take advantage of the
economic opportunity here, but we should not enable — much less accept —
illegal immigration. We must do all we can to reduce it and work to
eradicate it. For example, while current law forbids one from receiving
Social Security payments if here illegally, it does allow one's entire
work history — even work history as an illegal alien — to be counted
toward Social Security benefits if the individual later becomes legal.
That is patently unfair to those who respect and work within the law,
and I support legislation to correct this injustice and forbid work done
illegally from counting towards future benefits."
Boy, what a spin: illegal immigration is now ok because the flow of illegals across the border is now the same going both ways... liberal hypocrisy has no bounds, if they REALLY cared about the human suffering that results from the illegal immigration they'd be screaming loudest of all to stop it. This article is pie-in-the-sky optimism predictably motivated by the Mexican election. A better article would try to wake people up in this country by not telling them how nice it would be if we work with Mexico better, but what a h-hole this country is going to be if we DON'T work better with Mexico. We can't have a 3rd world h-hole country on our border and not eventually get dragged down with them. This is one of the biggest threats to this country right now and has to be dealt with. Illegal immigration and the human suffering of the illegals is just part of this problem, but liberals are all to happy to let that go on...
I've watched Fareed for a year now and he tries to hide his liberal blindness, but articles like this that say ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is OK now because it's a lot less than it was 5 years ago give him away. It's just like the WAR on drugs- if libs really cared, they'd focus on WHY so many want to get high, treat the issue not the symptom, duh! They wanna smoke they dope to escape memories of uncle fester touching their boomboom or mommy beating them or daddy not being there.
For me, it is the only thing I look forward to after a long pointless day at work.
Helps me forget all the lost hours of my life doing things I'd rather not do.
Wow Bob, you are so off the mark. Mexico's economy is the third or fourth fastest growing in the world (not my words but Time magazine and WSJ) and the tide of illegals moving back to Mexico actually has been outpacing the tide coming into the US for about three years now because their economy is going so good. It is unfortunate that the drug war gets all the press because the majority of it's citizens are attending university and moving the country ahead at a rapid pace.
As usual, someone like Bob has all the wrong answers with knee jerk reactions to something he (or she) knows nothing about but feels qualified to give his or her opinion. Isn't the internet great? Gives a voice to the bigot, liar and cheat.
@DaveC – My wheels came to a grinding halt after read your comment. You forget to mention that part of the reason illegals are going back is directly due to the fact that the Federal Government has been cracking down on illegals for the last, what 3 years?
The only way the violence in Mexico will improve is if; a) the Mexican government curves corruption and b) the wealth distribution is not held by a few Mexican families. Could this happen? Possibly. Will it happen? I'm sorry but highly unlikely. Corruption is a norm in Mexican politics and wealthy Mexicans (like Carlos Slim) do not want to spread their wealth. The economy in Mexico might be one of the fastest growing right now, but this will have little impact on the long term improvement in the life of ordinary Mexicans.
"You forget to mention that part of the reason illegals are going back is directly due to the fact that the Federal Government has been cracking down on illegals for the last, what 3 years?"
Bingo! It's the limousine corporate Republicans who need cheap house servants and farm laborers.
Absolutely the Obama administration has been cracking down on illegals, Which Obama bashers seem incapable of understanding.
Yes, and much of that growth, according to the Washington Post, is due to returning illegal aliens who bring back money and education they gained while living here illegally. All the more reason to step up enforcement of the law and deportations–it benefits Mexico's economy.
When we eliminate the negative stigma of people who were on this continent long before America became a country... then we can beging a respectful dialogue and perhaps even a positive binational relationship with Mexico – it's inevitable fruitful rewards await both great countries!
"Mexicans" are of HISPANIC and mixed ancestry and in fact, the indigenous peoples you refer to are badly treated by Mexicans.
You are incorrect. Most Mexicans are descended from the indigenous peoples who inhabited Mexico for hundreds of years. Some of them are mixed with people of Spanish (Hispanic) origin.
And Mexicans are not indigenous to what is now the United States. At least, not any more so than Americans in general.
Do you know the real meaning of American? Look where Mexico is located before you talk!
@Ace – The US became an independent country in 1783. Mexico became an independent country in 1810. What does your comment "When we eliminate the negative stigma of people who were on this continent long before America became a country" have anything to do with this topic? Perhaps you should read over your history books.
Ray Varona,
Allow me to explain it to you. The part of the world named America was discovered by Spain. Yes, I know Colombus was supposedly an Italian (though Italy did not exist as a country), but the ships he sailed on carried the Spanish Flag, were crewed by Spaniards and financed by the Spanish Crown. After the discovery, the "New World" was settled by Spaniards, including many parts of what is now the US. More than a few of us have ancestors that reached "America" over a century before the Pilgrims and hundreds of years before those of many of the bigots curently ranting about illegals. In many cases, because of intermarriage, we also have relatives who were here before recorded history.
TPP, Trans Pacific Partnership, is a corporate scheme initiated by the US that actually gives their board of directors power over sovereign laws. An American state might not like what TPP is doing, say toward climate change. Tough break, TPP rules all, or some hope so, like the author of this article, Hillary Clinton of course, and the usual lockstep beltway establishment, incl Congress..
. The rate of unauthorized immigration from Mexico has now dropped to historically low levels – there are at least as many leaving as arriving – which should allow for a more rational and reasoned debate on this issue in the United States.
------–One would think from this that Mexico is the ONLY country sending illegal aliens here. It's not even the only Latin country doing so. And many of those coming through Mexico are not Latinos, but Chinese, Arabs, and about any nationality you can imagine. Not to mention, about 40% of illegal aliens are visa overstays. By the way, recent reports from Customs report illegal entries from Mexico are on the upswing, not surprising after DACA and all the talk about amnesty. In fact, entries by unaccompanied minors started increasing dramatically in the first quarter of this year, not so coincidentally after Obama's push for the Dream Act in his State of the Union address.
I agree with most of the points of this article. Although, I think the uncontrolled immigration to the U.S. from Mexico has much greater implications than the writers seem to think. A better economy in Mexico will reduce the need for people in that country to seek opportunities in the U.S. I think fewer restrictions on trade between the two countries will be good, but we've been working toward that anyway with the giant NAFTA superhighway...
well, Calderon's administration left the Mexican government with a balanced budget, no debt, 200 billion dollars in reserves, universal health care system, a growing econony, a civil war against cartels, 60,000 dead, and 10 million more people under the poverty line ....... there is planty here for liberals and conservatives to complaint, but Mexico is not a sh..hole as many go around saying......here is the problem for the US, China is investing big bucks in Mexico and the rest of Latinamerica so, the US seems to be heading to lose its biggest comercial partner to the chinese and that won't be good at all for us.....so stop that bs bigotry and lets get Mexico and LA on board on the US side before it is too late
Not a sh.. hole? Have you been to Mexico? The rural poor parts?
Have you been to some of the poor poverty dominated areas in the US, such as poor urban areas filled with people living in subpar conditions, homeless people on the streets, rampant drug crime? What about all the rural areas of the US where people have lived in a constant state of poverty and are now fighting a huge meth problem? Mexico hardly has the market cornered on poverty and having some crime ridden neighborhoods areas. Some of you suburban Republicans need to get your heads out of the clouds about the US.
My reply to you is this. have you been to the poorer sections of the USA? The reason Mexico has a rural problem is that their central government is busy taking care of themselves. Mexico is going back intom the hole now that PRI is back, everyone i know in Mexico said that this election drives them back to the stoneage.
Another thing, there are NO indigenous humans from this side of the planet. Even those that call themselves indigenous to North or Central America are not. Humans came here from Asia.
I pose this question/idea in earnest: Since the US is on track to legalize marijuana in the next 5-10 years wouldnt it make economic sense for Mexico to legalize and grow it as well? Then when the insatiable US demand for marijuana is legal Mexico could become the chief exporter. Benefiting both Mexico with a stronger economy and the US with ties to a more economically prosperous neighbor and a close regional source for importation. As an added benefit the increased economic power of Mexico would also lead to the greater demand for US goods from our southern neighbor as well?
If we legalize marijuana, why would we export it from Mexico if we can grow it here? Do you think Think Philip Morris would have anything to say about it?
Everyone knows the best weed is grown in CA now. We don't need no stinking Mexican weed, ese! Vayase donde la mierda, maricon!
If the USA legalizes the 12-16 million illegal immigrants within their borders they will encourage more illegal immigration ( which every amnesty has done) and they will cripple themselves financially. Most illegal immigrants come from the poorest corners of Mexico and are not fully literate ( even in Spanish). They contribute to the taxes in the USA but they take more out in benefits than they contribute. Most legal immigration to the USA is based on family ties and/or cheap labour thus every year the US ads about 1 million immigrants from the third world, most of wholm will never contribute as much in tax as they take in benefits. These are decent people who only want a better life, but if the US doesn't start thinking about the costs of importing the third world into a first world country with social programs, they will suffer the consequences.
How long have they been telling us that NAFTA and illegal immigration is good for our economy?
How's that gone so far?
It will continue to do what it's done for the past 20 years. It'll lower our standard of living and depress the wages of our most vulnerable workers.
two people to write this article?
I do not know how the balance of tax paid and benefit dollars used by immigrants, but I would be more concerned with the trillions of dollars that corporate America removes from the US economy and sends to China, that is what is killing the American worker, the other issue is peanuts in comparison, but attracts more attention from conservatives with an agenda to distract the public from the way more serious problem.
If you knew anything of economics, the American consumer is what drives businesses to manufacture in China. Between two similar products, most consumers will buy the cheaper of the two. You don't see a bunch of people in line at your local co-op getting local produce because it's more expensive. They get the cheap stuff picked by cheap labor. Unless you want to be like North Korea and putting massive barriers on the flow of all goods going in and out of the country, you're not going to stop people from competing for consumer demand through whatever means they can (which is either quality or price, but mostly price).
I'd rather business owners to try to manufacture goods in Mexico/Latin America rather than in China if they decide to seek cheap labor for whatever goods they produce since it's more beneficial for the U.S. to have a more prosperous next door neighbor.
Here's some simple math for you: 5 million (or more, probably) illegal immigrant kids get free school and lunch, which the states pay an average of $5000 a year for- so mulitply 5 million times five thousand, that's 25 BILLION DOLLARS. So when ignorant lefties say illegals don't cost us anything you can now answer with a fact. (and that does not even include costs for bus riding and Medicaid, which boosts it to $50 BILLION)
Poverty has long been Mexico's number 1 export. And the US has been willing to absorb it. Mexico loves that we take them because they are no longer their problem. The article states that "The rate of unauthorized immigration from Mexico has now dropped to historically low levels – there are at least as many leaving as arriving". That doesn't mean there is less immigration from Mexico, just merely that the US is doing a good job of chasing them out. Keep it up. We don't need Mexican poverty in our borders. There is enough home grown poverty that we should be dealing with, instead of wasting money on Mexico's problem.
I loooooove Mexican women.
Another "expert" desk-jockey heard from. All our problems with Mexican illegal entries and narcotics interdiction could be resolved if experienced people in ICE and Dept. of State were making policy and proposing solutions.
When we were attacked in San Antonio TX by the police and Mexican terrorist in a compact car reported by the neighbor to the 911, We had 3 dogs, I do not know where they are located and what happened with them. The San Antonio police took t
hem after we were attacked by carbon monoxide in a new functional equipment.
The Mexican San Antonio Consulate participated in the criminal situation for sure, through the Mexican Consul, they are working for the china imperium receiving millions of dollars from them.
Who cares-there are 20,000,000 illegal Mexicans in the United States–they should all be deported for breaking the federal laws.
Hey folks, Oblama won. If you expect things to go downhill, as I do, just arm yourself and stay close to your group. If this continue this way there will be another civil war. Just choose your side carefully.
Good luck
Obama just gave Burma-Myanmar–and pledged $170,000,000.00 to help their ecnomic development -–what about New Jersey and New York.
If you love Mexico so much–move there
o noes go run for president then if you dont like what obamas doin.
ignorance, arrogance, racism, elitism describes every obama hater
that actually describes you based on your post.
And you know what bro, it even describes comrade Obama. How about that...!!
Ross Perot warned you people that there would be a giant sucking sound with American jobs and Americans money fleeing across the border to Mexico. While all of this is happening, Mexicans come here to the U.S. and steal Americans jobs, lower their wages, suck Americans social services dry, and the democrat party then calls Americans that object, RACISTS. Well, maybe the averge American deserves it all when they won't get rid of the "representatives" that continue to SELL US OUT.---STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.
Stupid Is As Stupid Does was proven, when Ohio sent John Boehner back to Washington, and Kentucky sent Mitch McConnell. The Republicans are doing nothing, but spending all their time protecting the wealthy. Of course the wealthy, includes them. Why would they want to raise taxes on themselves? Better to cut Social Security, Medicare, and food stamp, for the poorest people in this country.
Yeah, P.S. why not just hand over the U.S. to Mexico. It's already controling the Southwest, where the native population had to support them with high taxes, and every other service under the sun.
As Americans when we look at the flag with it's bright shinning star's it's a vison of hope and freedom for all of us not just Mexican's and African American's who came to this great land looking for a better future for our children and our family's. America has always been a land with open arms where it welcome's all races who can better serve our country from our Mexican American Doctors and Lawyers who treat us in the hospital rooms and everyday life. So by sharing things with Mexico we are not losing our jobs to them but learning form them, as we share knowledge with them form their great products such as cars and radio's as well. We have to stop as a nation blaming the Mexican workers when we loss job's at home, it's not their fault but just the global ecomomic up's and down's every country experinces inculding ours. As Americans we love new ideas when it comes from the latest cars or music hit single from some well known American Hispanic jazz Hispanic saxphone player from New York Jess J. So as a nation which elected an African American president should we not look past our hateful sterotypical veiwpoints on hardworking Mexican American's and learn to join the global culture markets just like every other nation. Or will be a nation who is stuck in the dark ages when it comes to working with different races and relgions for years to come.

The Citadel - The Council part 4
Walkthrough - The Citadel - The Council part 4
Saronis Applications: Visit Saronis Applications to -- you guessed it -- garner yourself another permanent discount. The kindly Salarian named Marab behind the counter will recognize Shepard immediately, and lay the praise thick on him. Once this initial conversation comes to an end, you can offer up your services to Marab for a permanent discount at his store (if you're a Paragon), or simply threaten him for cheaper prices (if you're a Renegade). Only shop here after this is done, since you'll want to seek out cheaper prices whenever humanly possible. Marab and his establishment are important in the side quest known as Citadel: Crime in Progress as well. For more information on that side quest, see the Side Quests section of this guide.
Warehouse: The Warehouse, located at the far western edge of the Citadel, will be completely useless to you right now. Though it's heavily populated with all sorts of people, none of them will have anything to say to you for the time being. Nonetheless, you should still go ahead and explore, checking it out for yourself. You'll have reason enough to come back here later, so after checking it out, keep it in the back of your head for future use.
Presidium: With all of that tireless exploration now completed, it's time to do what we set off to the Citadel to do in the first place, and that's to respond to Captain Anderson's message to come see him at the Presidium. Use any of the transit relays strewn around the Citadel to get to the Presidium, and then walk forward through a couple of doors to catalyze a lengthy cutscene with Captain Anderson. Captain Anderson is now actually known as Admiral Anderson, having been promoted since you last saw him several years ago. Your conversation with him will begin in earnest, though you won't get incredibly far in your back-and-forth before another familiar face shows up, Ambassador Udina.
Udina, it appears, already sits on the council in this new galactic era Shepard has missed, and doesn't at all get along with Anderson. Udina scolds Anderson for even seeing you, though Shepard tries to cover for Anderson. When Udina takes his leave, Anderson gets into the nitty-gritty of things. Listen carefully to what Anderson has to say about the Citadel, the Council, and other topics, and when given the opportunity, be sure to fully press him for all of the information he has. Eventually, you'll exhaust all limbs on the conversation tree, at which point you can bid Anderson adieu for the time being. With that conversation wrapped up, and the Citadel explored thoroughly (if you've been following this walkthrough anyway), you can head on back to the Normandy.

The Facts
- The risks associated with desaturations are very real, and can include complications like nausea, vomiting, and cognitive decline as well as irreparable consequences like stroke, organ/respiratory failure, and even death.
- Studies have shown that even relatively less serious hypoxic events may lengthen the duration on mechanical ventilation, time spent in the ICU, or overall stay.
- All of these outcomes contribute to higher cost of care; and with studies showing desaturations happening in up to 80 percent of some procedures, can you afford not to deploy this technology in your OR?

With the recent death of Karl Malden I'm reminded of an event of years past.
In 1977 or so while serving onboard USS ASPRO (SSN-648) a nuclear fast attack submarine homported in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii our ship had the good fortune of being selected to make what was then called an EASTPAC (Eastern Pacific Cruise). This was about a six-week trip to the operating areas off the East Coast of the United States for the purpose of training. Mostly we would run in front of United States Navy surface craft, made a lot of noise in the water then they would try and find us.
During this trip we were scheduled for several ports of call the first being Alameda, California which is across the bay from San Francisco. The other ports, which we were to visit, were San Diego, California and Bremerton, Washington.
While in transit and during our off time we would often ask others their plans for San Francisco. As the television show The Streets of San Francisco was very popular at the time my standard reply when asked this question was to say I was going to drop by and visit with my good friend Karl Malden. Soon everyone on the boat as a joke was asking me to give Karl their regards when we met up. Sea stories then came forth about just how tight Karl and I were.
So upon arrive in Alameda we suited up in our civvies (civilian clothing) and hit the streets. After a stop of necessity at some local watering hole we boarded the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) to explore the streets of San Francisco. Only knowing that we wanted to go to the North Beach area of San Francisco we exited the train at the Embarcadero stop and made our way on foot north to Broadway.
If I remember correctly the trio in this excursion were myself, Senior Chief Torpedoman Jim Smith of Singer, Louisiana and Chief Firecontrolman Carroll Dubois of Pollock, Louisiana. Yeah, I hear you, having three Louisianans loose on the streets of San Francisco is a bit insane isn't it. Especially after we had been consuming amber colored liquids. A good time was to be had by all by the end of the day.
Anyway, as we are headed up Broadway towards Columbus Avenue I noticed a single car in the road with one of those portable police red lights on top of the car. Just goofing off I started walking towards that car knowing my companions would ask where was I headed. When they did so, my reply was going to be "just going over to say hi to Karl".
Well, it went just as I had planned except when I bent down to look into the car who should be sitting there but Karl Malden himself.
About this time the car took off at high speed up the street, went about two blocks and turned right stopping outside some public tennis courts.
We had by accident just walked into where they were filming an episode of The Streets of San Francisco. When we got up to the tennis courts the area was blocked off, but we were still very near where they were filming, you could hear all the dialog and directing as clear as day. We were the only gawkers other than a few people associated with the filming.
By the time we completed the trek up the hill, they had already filmed Mike Stones arrival at the crime scene and Tom Bosley of Happy Days fame (the weekly guest star) was joining him on the case. All Tom had to do in his scene was get out of a car, open the gates to the tennis courts and walk over to greet Karl who was kneeling down looking at the body. They must have done this scene at least ten times before they got it the way they wanted it and we became very bored so continued on our quest of conquering San Francisco.
Michael Douglas wasn't on the set that day that we could see, which is the first thing my wife asked when I related this story to her. Did note however, that Tom Bosley had on so much makeup that he looked like a corpse ready for burial.
OK, so its not that great of a story and I guess it's really one of those you had to be there deals, but we did get a lot of mileage out of the story back on the boat.
I always liked most of the movies that Karl Malden performed in and I appreciated his work. Rest in Peace.

A Doctor With Global House Calls
Dr. Teixeira didn't let other's judgment about the color of his skin deter him. He excelled as one of the finest doctors of minimally invasive surgery in the country; a procedure less invasive than open surgery.
[Profile: On Medicine]
Dr. Julio Teixeira, Director of Bariatric Surgery and Chief of Minimally Invasive Surgery at St. Luke's–Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan comes across as down to earth, caring, sensitive, attentive, warm and personable.
Yet, Dr. Teixeira stellar career in medicine, philanthropy and community service was more serendipitous than a straight edge path to success.
He was born and raised on the Cape Verde Islands, off the West Coast of Africa, near Morocco. In childhood, he ventured off to the beaches – either alone or with his brother – from the time he was seven years old. He enjoyed the carefree, laid back and easy going childhood spent there; but when his parents uprooted the family to the United States for a chance to better educate their children, things became hectic and his future tenuous at best.
"The challenge was more cultural and linguistics than anything else," said Dr. Teixeira about his teenage years, after he arrived here in New York to live with an aunt. He spoke Cape Verdean and Portuguese, but not a word of English, in which he dropped out of school. "The cultural challenges were a little different. I came from a society where I wasn't aware of racism – we were the dominant culture," he recalled.
His father was a teacher and his mother, a home maker.
In 1979, Dr. Teixeira had a problem. He didn't understand English. So with the help of family friends in Rhode Island, the family moved there, where Dr. Teixeira enrolled in an ESL program. He eventually excelled in school.
After high school, he enrolled at Boston University and finished his undergraduate degree at City College in New York. He then attended Temple University Medical School and then did his residency at New York Medical College, where he took out lots of loans and survived the grueling tasks of completing his medical degree.
"High School, college, and medical school, I recognized that you have different challenges beyond academics," he said about the process for an immigrant to assimilate, associate, and acculturate into the status-quo of a predominant culture that has a history of racism.
"I went through some things, but it was more awareness, more of a perception that their attitude weren't mine. I became more aware of it – the cultural attitude of having darker skin."
Dr. Teixeira didn't let other's judgment about the color of his skin deter him. He excelled as one of the finest doctors of minimally invasive surgery in the country; a procedure less invasive than open surgery. It is with the use of devices and remote-control manipulation – think robotic surgery.
He is married and a father of an one-year old. Dr. Teixeira has created an organization called Medical Training Worldwide. The goal of the project is to bring the technique of minimally invasive surgery to developing countries, where he and his colleagues travel, in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
They make arrangements with the various governments and pay their own airfare. "The fun part is the surgery but the hard part is raising funds," he said.
In 1997, Medical Training Worldwide was incorporated by The Society for American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES). This charity work came full circle in 2004, when the group traveled to train physicians in the Cape Verde Islands for the first time.
"I just came back this week from Cape Verde Island for a week with a group of Ohio State University physicians," he said, during the recent interview. "I have an one-year old and I'm constantly at the learning stage. Nonetheless, it's a challenge to do the things I do. It's easy to follow a routine and go about your chores, but they're so many benefits to this program. It's more than a vacation. It's something that helps people. I'm working and teaching young doctors about missionary work which is a good thing."

Potential Tax Changes to Boost Vale, Merrill Lynch Says
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
A Brazilian newspaper reported today that Brazil's government is working to change how it taxes its companies' foreign subsidiaries. This could give Vale (VALE) a big boost, according to BofA Merrill Lynch.
According to analysts Felipe Hirai, Thiago Lofiego and Karel Luketic, Brazil is considering ways to "reduce past tax liabilities," including allowing them to pay in five years, with less interest and fewer penalties. This is big for Vale because it "creates a more coherent and stable taxation," the analysts say. They write:
Out of the R$30.5bn liability for Vale, R$18.7bn is from interest and penalties. If Vale has to pay only the R$11.9bn (US$5.9bn) balance in 5 years, the NPV would decline to just US$4.5bn.
This would be just another piece of good news for the Brazilian miner. Also of note: Vale received an operating permit for CLN 150, a "maritime terminal" that will help it to expand its capacity on Carajas. Merrill Lynch's analysts write:
The announcement is positive, as it is another sign that the company is delivering on its promises, but expected. In the short term, the most important license is the construction permit at Serra Sul (90mt project in Carajas), which should be received in the next few months.
The analysts, who upgraded Vale to buy last month, maintained their buy rating on the company with a $23 price target. Vale has gained 3.1% to $17.94 today, while the iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF (EWZ) has gained 1.1%.

I have a BLF A6 flashlight that I sometimes use with the short, 1x18350 battery tube. I'm fueling that with a KeepPower INR18350 battery. It works great. I do not have any testing equipment, but based on the reports of others, I expect I am getting over 900 lumens. There is no problem supplying the higher current used by the A6.
I considered getting a similar 16340, INR or IMR battery for the S1, but rejected the idea. The S1 does not have any low-voltage cutoff or warning, so my choice was to run it on a protected battery.
