text: The Centers for Disease Control is warning the public about fraudulent emails that appear to come from the CDC and tell people to create a "Personal H1N1 Vaccination Profile" on the CDC website. Clicking on a link in the email takes the receiver to a site that looks very much like the CDC's own web pages. Once there, readers are encouraged to download a file which loads a malicious program on their computers which can collect sensitive information and steal identities. The CDC stresses that they are not sponsoring a personal vaccination profile program requiring registration online.

Funnest Scary Fast Car by JohnE on 10/26/2011. Trim: 1998 Toyota Supra Turbo, Owned more than 10 years.
Pros: I own a 1998 Toyota Supra TT 6spd with 21,000miles.My Dad bought it new when I was 13,it was given to me for getting a Scholarship. 98's were the last year sold in north america. There were alot of changes in the 97 model Such as New Headlight and Taillight assemblies plus a new front fascia (front) and more. The car shown is NOT a 97-98. The 1998 Model saw even more changes, one of the coolest thing about this car is you feel like your in a cockpit,The car is detuned for emmissions reasons, for $1,300 you can open up the intake, exhaust and turn the boost up with a boost controller, in my case added 115HP,without N2O the 320hp rating is low,stock on a dyno it made 28HP more than the 320hp.
Cons: It is nearly impossible to find a decent 1998 Supra Twin Turbo 6spd, because less than 300 were sent to North America(that were turbocharged and had a manual transmission, a couple hundred more non-turbocharged models and a few automatics also ended up over here.. They are VERY expensive now, a low mileage 98 Supra, The Kelly Blue Book Price is a Joke. This is probably one of the most common cars that people scam with, they will put one up for sale that doesn't exist, there are so few that people will gladly put down 10 percent for them to hold it....only to find out they never had the car. The last low mileage 98 SupraTT 6spd I saw for sale by Sunnydale Toyota:price=$80,000
Overall review: This Vehicle is a Legendary it has the classic front engine rear-wheel drive Setup that a sports car should have There are alot of Street Driven Supra's with more than 1000HP with the stock Iron Block and Stock internals. Most people who hear this automatically think your lying. Try to find a decent 98SupraTT 6spd with relatively low mileage, no more than 85,000miles. IF you can even find one from a reputable source for less than 40,000, your lucky, if your not interested send me the info, it won't let me put my email address in here but Inst...ant Mess...age...Wicked982JZGTE, ..check youtube for some really fast Street Supra's, also Titan Motorsports has a bad@$$ Supra.all fourth gen. Supra's are rare, if you want one I would look for a 95 then buy 98 Headlight and Taillight assemblies and a 98 model front. then either put some 98 Supra wheels on it or aftermarket wheels. I also have a Porsche 997 Turbo, but to be honest, I'd rather drive my Supra. which now has 635RWHP

Eversheds to cull 166 jobs across the UK and Asia as new strategy takes hold
Readers' comments (24)
I think this is just the start of another wave of big scale redundancies in big international firms. 2009 all over again!
Impeccable timing with The Lawyer's front page feature this week. Maybe Bryan is reaching for a clutch of P45s in the picture?
Not about cats, didn't read.
seems in line with the rest of the industry
I heard good package though !!!
Most of the people I talk to in law firms (senior and junior) seem upbeat about their firms and business generally, certainly when compared to the last few years. This seems to be at odds with all these redundancy stories. Why the disconnect?
A difficult day at Eversheds, however in the long run this will make the firm stronger.
This latest batch of redundancies sits very uncomfortably with the fact that PEP increased by over 10% (£50k) just a few months ago. Eversheds are clearly not struggling and this latest move seems yet another stunt to line the pockets of those who already earn unjustified amounts for the actual amount of work they do!
Easy, the people you are talking to are focused on chargeable hours/workload. Redundancy decisions are being made by people focused on profit. There's a lot of downward fee pressure and just because people are busy, it doesn't mean that the income reflects that to a level satisfactory to the equity partners calling the shots.
The interview with Hughes earlier this week mentions PEP was up last financial year and profits per lawyer have doubled since 2004. So this frankly smacks of pure greed and protectionism of partner's profits at the expense of the rest of the firm.

TEAMS: Miami Dolphins
On Sunday, we saw photos of Evelyn Lozada and her ex(?) husband Chad Johnson attending one of his fan dinners together. The two were photographed holding hands and the general feeling was that they are reconciling. Evelyn has said, not so fast. They were praying in the photo holding hands – blessing the meal – and she was only at the dinner to show support and see Chad's daughter.
Check out her statement from her website.
I wanted to wish you a happy and safe New Year and take time to address a few rumors and unanswered questions about last night. It seems as though things have gotten a wee bit out of control.
I attended a dinner with Chad's daughter, not only because I love baby girl like my own, but to support Chad and his fan appreciation dinner. While at the dinner, several photos popped up on the Internet of Chad and I holding hands, while in the process of blessing the food. The blogs made last night seem as though, we walked hand and hand into the restaurant announcing a reunion, which wasn't the case.
I care for Chad, we are friends and we love one another, however, we are still separated, not living under the same roof and working on ourselves because we have a long way to go. This is a normal and realistic process for anyone and I don't know what the future holds for me, but I know God holds it and I'm taking things one day at a time. I appreciate the love from so many of you and right now I'm still working on becoming a better person. Chad and I are attending therapy separately, meeting with a Life Coach and trying to figure out how to work on our individual selves and navigate through this entire ordeal.
So there you go…

Bridging the Gulf
Restructuring approaches in the Middle East… and what they mean to you
There has been a significant amount of restructuring activity in the Gulf recently, accompanied by a change in the approach of many local banks to lending. Against this backdrop, a number of differences have emerged in the approaches to, and results from, restructuring processes in Europe and the Middle East.
Europe has been through many cycles of boom and bust and the approach to restructuring has been developed and augmented over time, both in terms of the mindset of stakeholders – both companies and banks – and in terms of legal frameworks. Restructuring is viewed as a normal part of a business life cycle, the result of entrepreneurial risk-taking. It is without stigma and is not necessarily seen as the 'fault' of management.
In the Middle East, the idea of restructuring is fairly new. The phenomenal growth in the local economies over the past few years has introduced businesses – and sometimes governments – to the major international debt markets and that has brought with it exposure to global macroeconomic trends. The most recent global financial crisis signaled the first instance that many businesses and lenders in the region have had to face up to the idea that their businesses may not keep growing and that their debts may not be repaid in full and on time.
With respect to the legal frameworks, many Middle Eastern jurisdictions had not previously considered the possibility that businesses would fail, or be unable to repay debts, meaning that the appropriate legislative frameworks had not, until recently, been put in place. This leads to an uncertain environment for banks with regards to their contingency and enforcement options, should consensual discussions with a struggling business not bear fruit.
The environment for restructuring in the region is less mature than it is in Europe and the United States, for example, where the Insolvency Act in the U.K. and Chapter 11 in the U.S. are well-established covenants that offer a degree of comfort that a predictable legal outcome can be expected. Comfort in the lender's security position gives them and the company a base from which to negotiate.
Lessons to learn from recent restructurings
A key lesson learnt so far from restructuring activity around the region is certainly the need to act early. Companies and/or lenders can be in a state of denial about the situation their businesses face and as a result choose not to act until it's too late.
A case in point is Dubai World, which, in November 2009, caused shockwaves throughout the financial world with the surprise announcement that it could not pay the Nakheel Sukuk amortization of $3.5bn due in December 2009. Aidan Birkett, ex-head of Deloitte U.K. Corporate Finance, was immediately appointed as Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) for the group, however, there remained insufficient time to pull together the crisis management plan required. The announcement was a revelation to the lending and led to a collapse of confidence in the region.
The importance of anticipating where and when problems may arise, preparing for restructuring and communicating with the lenders cannot be overstated. The primary focus should be having a robust and sensible business plan, supported by a proper set of processes and systems in the business. It is key to adequately forecast cash flow and covenant compliance to be able to foresee any problems with plenty of time to react appropriately. The mantra in restructuring: cash is king.
Restructuring is usually required where the continued underperformance of a once healthy business leads to a fall in shareholder value and severe and sustained pressure on debt covenants and liquidity that creates a fundamental uncertainty as to the future of a business.
The importance of getting the business plan right
Lenders can tell immediately when a business plan is not well thought through, achievable, or sufficiently detailed, portraying the management as lacking in credibility. Lenders may, as a result, opt out of supporting that given business. An ill-thought out business plan changes the banks' approach to any negotiations and may impair their view of the management team.
One of the main considerations in a business plan is its feasibility. There is little credibility in a business that is seen to struggle in a declining market that is showing no signs of recovery while predicting double-digit growth for the next few years, especially if this is what is required to deliver full repayment of the debt. Lenders will not be keen to refinance a clearly unachievable plan, unless it is to improve their security position when they do finally enforce over the business.
It is of course necessary to strike a balance. If a business plan shows no ambition or growth, it is unlikely to gain favor from a bank. Banks look for a combination of growth and realism, ambition and pragmatism. This may often lead to a business having two business plans – a 'banking' case and an 'equity' case. The first would be fairly prudent and something that a business will happily set covenants against, whereas the second would be used for different reasons, such as incentivizing management.
Something else to remember about the business plan is that it cannot be just a financial model, compiled once during the refinancing process, then locked away in a cupboard. It must be updated and revised on a periodic basis. It is also vital that a suitable management structure is put in place. This management team must then develop a plan that activates the financial model and sets a clear path to achieving the financials through day-to-day actions. Finally, the management team must be able to adequately measure performance against the plan through management and financial reporting of both forward - and backward - looking key performance indicators.
It is vital not to attach a stigma to restructuring. It can be a perfectly normal course of business for healthy companies in struggling markets, or for those saddled by their owners with inappropriate capital structures. Ignoring the problem will inevitably create another and result in a worse outcome.
Prior to this, it is necessary to know if trouble is coming your way, so having a robust and regular business planning and forecasting process in place is key.
When it comes to communications with lenders, corporates will do well to recognize that there is a move away from the previous standard of lending based on name, with numerous bilateral facilities. In distressed situations it may be the case that a business faces a collective group of lenders rather than individual lenders and may not be dealing with their previous relationship manager. A robust, measured approach to negotiations must therefore be adopted involving significant preparation.
It is clear that the type of restructuring solutions reached in the region will continue to develop. The 'extend and pretend' answers that we've seen in the past, where the terms of facilities are simply lengthened, will no longer address the key problems many businesses face, nor will they necessarily offer the best solution. To enhance business value and ensure continuity, a sustainable focus on rectifying internal business performance, rather than relying on friendly banks, is crucial.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – The Super Bowl attracts an audience of millions every year, but one locally produced commercial will be missing out on primetime air play.
Daniel Defense, a gun manufacturer from Georgia, picked Wilmington as the backdrop of its newest commercial. It features a serviceman and his family.
Jordan Hunter, the company's Director of Marketing, said Tuesday that he had already signed deal with several broadcast affiliates in major cities like Atlanta, Houston and Charlotte.
But he was told that the NFL would not allow the commercial. The reason given was the category of company, according to Hunter. He said Daniel Defense makes firearms, but it also has the same licenses as most sporting goods stores.
Part of the NFL's prohibited advertising categories reads:
Firearms, ammunition or other weapons are prohibited; however, stores that sell firearms and ammunitions (e.g. outdoor stores and camping stores) will be permitted, provided they sell other products and the ads do no mention firearms, ammunition or other weapons.
Hunter said he understands the NFL has the right to ban commercials, but not when he said his company's ad does not violate any rules.
"They're just picking and choosing," said Hunter.
Hunter said he offered to remove a silhouette of a gun that's seen at the end of the commercial, but the commercial is still denied.
"I objected four different times," he said.
The company planned to spend roughly $500,000 on the regional commercial in eight markets. Hunter said this was going to be a step up from their local commercial that ran during the 2012 Super Bowl.
Hunter said he has not heard from a representative of the NFL, only local affiliates.
"We hope that the NFL will accept our commercial and support the 1st and 2nd amendment," he said. "It would be a big win for gun owners and the Bill of Rights."

His gritty 96 run knock for Victoria paved the way for an unbelievable 305 run win against the Queensland Bulls – an achievement that landed them back-to-back Sheffield Shield titles. Wade successfully made a smooth transition into international cricket and his debut ODI international saw him scoring 67 off 69 balls and winning the Man of the Match title against India.
Oh! And if you thought he might be lacking in the longer format of the game, think again. Wade scored his first Test century in the third and final match of his maiden Test series against the West Indies. But what is it really that makes him special?
Wade uses PUMA's Pulse 5000 Wicket keeping gloves & the effectiveness of the gloves added to Wade's agility makes for a deadly combination. The gloves lightweight backhand imported PU gives the keeper amazing freedom of movement & its leather palm drilled line gives it incredible grip. It also has a Ping-Pong palm that conforms to ICC regulations and assists the keeper in holding on to that ball when in the air.
With 45 catches & 6 stumpings from 43 matches that includes tests, ODI's & T20's, Wadey appears all set to become Australia's next big wicket keeper.

text: Today we have renders of a pair of their upcoming combiners cassettes. You might want to compare them to the G1 characters Dial and Saur. The brontosaurus will probably be recolored as not-Sludge and Fullstop. The other one will be recolored into Shift. Shift and Fullstop will form the combiner called Reelthing. Fullstop and Shift are potentially part of the upcoming Dinominions set, a team of fan-made dinosaur support cassettes for the Dinobots. Included in the pictures are the G1 Dail and Saur toys, and concept images of Fullstop and Shift.

Wynne will be conducted on Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. at the First Christian Church in Alma, Nebraska with Pastors Larry Doubet and Becky Saddler officiating. Interment will be in the Alma Cemetery with military honors provided by the Fay Cady American Legion Post #118 in conjunction with the United States Army Military Honor Guard.
Carol Elaine Wynne, 90 years of age, of Alma, passed away on Wednesday, October 2, 2013 at Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, Nebraska. Carol was born March 7, 1923 at Wilcox, Nebraska, the eldest of two children born to Carl Leslie and Alta Mae (Caswell) Goings. In 1936, Carol was baptized at the First Christian Church in Alma. She began her education at Wilcox through the 4th grade. The family then moved to Phillips County, Kansas, where she continued primary school at the Hilltop Rural School District #65. The family then moved to Alma, where she continued her education and graduated from Alma High School with the class of 1940.
After graduation, Carol taught in District #8 and District #59 rural schools for three years. While she was teaching, Carol attended summer school and earned a two year degree from UNL. She then began teaching first grade in Beatrice, Nebraska. After reading an article on the "Purple Heart Platoon," Carol decided she wanted to assist wounded soldiers, so she enlisted in the Women's Army Corps (WAC) on March 23, 1945. After months of medical training, Carol was assigned to the Fitzsimons General Army Hospital in Denver, Colorado. While serving in the WAC, Carol met William Robert "Bill" Wynne. On October 20, 1945, Carol was united in marriage to Bill Wynne at the First Christian Church in Alma and to this union one daughter was born: Jennifer Elaine. The couple made their home in Alma, where Carol taught 4th grade and kindergarten for five years. A few years later, she became the Harlan County Veteran's Service Officer for six years. Carol then accepted a position as the County Welfare Director until her retirement in 1988. Following her retirement, she enjoyed keeping busy for a few years working part-time for her brother, Ron who owned Goings Ford.
Carol was a devoted member of the First Christian Church in Alma. She was also a life member of the Fay Cady American Legion Post #118 and it's Auxiliary in Alma. Carol's hobbies were crocheting and tending to her teapot collection. First and foremost in her life was spending time with her family. She absolutely loved the special times spent with her grandchildren and great-granddaughter.
Carol was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Ronald Dean "Bud" Goings.
She is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Luther and her husband, Roger of rural Orleans, Nebraska; three grandchildren: Clarissa "CeCe" Hunt and her husband, Eric of Lincoln, Nebraska, Jeffrey Luther and his special friend, Virginia Meltzer of Charlotte, North Carolina and Samantha Luther of Lincoln; one great-granddaughter, Sofia Elaine Hunt of Lincoln; sister-in-law, JoAnn Goings of Alma; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Visitation will be held on Monday, October 7, 2013 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with the family greeting from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Bauer-Torrey & Mach Funeral Home in Alma. A memorial has been established in Carol's honor and will be designated at a later date.
Expressions of caring and kindness can be sent to the family at www.nelsonbauerfh.com
The Bauer-Torrey & Mach Funeral Home in Alma is in charge of arrangements.

After months of covers, flashmobs and radio play, Carly Rae Jepsen has finally dethroned Gotye to take the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Her hit single is as catchy as it is popular, and even celebs have gotten in on the "Call Me Maybe" action.
Bing: Carly Rae Jepsen
In honor of Jepsen reaching the No. 1 spot, we bring you 10 of the best YouTube versions of her hit songs, from Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's video -- the one that launched "Call Me Maybe" mania -- to versions by Katy Perry, Donald Trump, the Harvard baseball team and even President Barack Obama.
Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and Ashley Tisdale
Few cover videos ever beat the original; that is, until Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez get involved. Carly Rae Jepsen might not have climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Top 100 if it weren't for the Biebs and Co. endorsing her catchy single. Their video, which sparked the "Call Me" craze, raked in 1 million views during the first 24 hours. The power couple of pop danced with fake mustaches and banana telephones alongside pals Ashley Tisdale, Big Time Rush, Boys Like Girls and more. Watch it here.
Katy Perry and friends
Inflatable monkeys, iPhones and mixed drinks are all heavily featured in Katy Perry and friends' version of "Call Me Maybe." No stranger to being goofy, a purple-haired Perry bounces across the screen while lip-syncing, then plays director, shouting out stage directions to her pals. Shot during Coachella weekend, the video was a response to the Biebs' version, with Perry giving him a shout-out at the end. Watch it here.
More: Carly Rae Jepsen finally makes it to No. 1
Jimmy Fallon, the Roots and Carly Rae
Jimmy Fallon and the Roots can do no wrong, and when Carly Rae herself is thrown into the mix -- with a rainbow-bright xylophone -- the "Late Night" crew gets even better. Plus, Carly plays the triangle, while Jimmy tackles the tambourine and lends some impressive background vocals. And the icing on the catchy pop tune cake: Questlove brought out a kazoo at the end. What's not to love? Watch it here.
The Harvard Baseball Team
Harvard guys can have fun too, as evidenced by the baseball team's choreographed, back-of-the-van lip sync. How's that for a curveball? They could spice up their dance moves a bit -- especially the napping player out in left field -- but all in all we'd say this one was a home run. The entertaining video spawned dozens of replies from university sports teams across the country. Road trip, anyone? Watch it here.
If you want a little indie in your "Call Me Maybe," look no further than Fun. These guys slowed their cover down a teeny bit, focusing on the acoustic guitar and orchestral sounds from the keyboards. Lead singer Nate Ruess' vocals seem to catch a desperation in the lyrics not found in the poppy, catchy original. It's hard to beat Jepsen's version, but these guys sure come close. Watch it here.
Tell us on Facebook: Which 'Call Me Maybe' version do you like best?
President Barack Obama
You know the Internet is doing its job right when a YouTube user (appropriately named Barackdubs) spends countless hours cutting together bits of the president's speeches until we have this masterpiece: Barack Obama singing "Call Me Maybe." Well ... sort of. Obama's team should really consider using this as a campaign tool, since he's calling on the American youth to vote for him later this year. Watch it here.
Miss USA girls, Andy Cohen and Donald Trump
While Donald Trump just sat against a blank wall, eerily staring into the camera, the women of the Miss USA pageant showed off their talents and beauty in their backstage "Call Me Maybe" cover. And, as one would expect, these ladies really know how to work a camera. Bravo's Andy Cohen and E! News anchor Giuliana Rancic both joined in the video, dancing and joking to the pop hit. For a little extra fun, look for the Miss USA tribute-within-a-tribute to the Harvard baseball team. Watch it here.
The Staples Center staff
Everybody dance now! No, seriously, it's like they literally got everyone who works in the Staples Center to dance for this clip. We're talking camera guys, concession workers, ushers, cheerleaders, even TNT reporter Craig Sager, all getting down to the "Call Me" chorus. Maybe the Lakers would have made it to the NBA Finals had they had a cameo ... but now we'll never know. Watch it here.
Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders
Somehow, it's only logical "Call Me Maybe" covers would eventually lead to cheerleaders in bikinis. Miami Dolphin cheerleaders, in this case. These scantily clad women prance around pools, beaches and even take a dive in a ball pit while flirting to the camera on their own version of Jepsen's No. 1 hit. With over 4.5 million views, it's doubtful they have problems getting boys to call them ... maybe. Watch it here.
Tay Zonday, the "Chocolate Rain" guy
Singing in front of a microphone and camera, Tay Zonday (better known as the "Chocolate Rain" guy) puts his baritone spin on the Carly Rae Jepsen hit. Falling somewhere in between a toad and an opera star, Zonday's version sounds more than a little creepy compared to Jepsen's No. 1. We probably won't be calling him anytime soon. Watch it here.
And Carly Rae Jepsen's original ...
Like we said, nothing beats the original, and when all the covers are said and done, it's Carly Rae's catchy tune that sent the song to the top of the Hot 100 chart. Her fun video and its twist ending are the perfect complement to the song, which has sold 3.3 million downloads to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Watch it here.

Hipster, valley girl, geek, jock, goth, nerd, average Joe. These are some of the labels we give some of our students. What label would you give yourself? Each one of us has a label that someone would throw on us. Myself, I would probably be the class clown.
Naturally when we tend to have a leaning we tend to fit in with a certain group of students better. Because I am a bit of a clown, I find it really easy to spend time with the "funny kidsâ€. If a student is going to be a stand up comic, that is the kid I will gravitate towards. But what about the rest of the students? Where do they fit into our relational ministry model.
It is okay for each one of us to have a tight knit group of students we disciple. We just have to keep in mind that there are other students who need to be ministered to as well. I think there are a few solutions that we all need to find a balance with:
1. Staffing: If you are in a big ministry, it might mean hiring staff or finding volunteers with different personalities from yours. Find someone to partner in ministry who might be a geek or a valley girl. Try to cover the bases of all the types of students you have. Maybe you might not get a 1:1 ratio but you certainly will be able to be more diverse in who you are effectively ministering to.
2. This one involves you whether a large or small church context, but especially if you are the main person in your ministry. You need to find ways to connect with each of the groups of kids. Find something you can have in common, for the kid who likes comics, go to a local comic shop find one that you can at least appreciate and then talk to the student about that. For the kid who is super into music; find out who their bands are; get some music and then talk to them after you have listened to it.
What about the kid who you "just don't get what they are all aboutâ€, have them explain it to you. Maybe they love modern art, go to an art gallery with a couple students and have them explain to you what they love about it and how to appreciate it.
The thing I have found about trying to reach out to my students this way is:
- I connect better with them and find out how to reach them for Christ and how to help them reach others for Christ.
- I have found some things that I enjoy that I never would have realized.
As we start a new year, perhaps its a good time to connect with students who otherwise might be less connected.
Which student are you going to connect with this year?

I would have given 5 stars if it had a loop. I will probably keep this one for portability and get its big brother ac30 for a little more bottom end. Great tone with single coil guitars, especially strat. Not for heavy overdrive, but sounds better than anything I have played in my 30+ yrs of playing with just a touch of grit. great clean too!

MERIDEN, Conn. (AP) - Meriden police say they suspect carbon monoxide poisoning killed two people found inside a snow-covered car parked in a driveway.
The bodies of a 20-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman were found Sunday morning. Police told the Record-Journal of Meriden there were paths shoveled alongside the vehicle, but the rest of it was covered with snow and the windows were rolled up.
The victims' names haven't been released. Autopsies are planned. If their deaths are related to the blizzard, that would bring the number of storm-related deaths in the state to seven.
State police on Monday released the name of a 79-year-old Prospect woman killed by a hit & run driver while she was using her snow-blower Friday night. Troopers are still seeking the driver of the car that hit Mary McCormack.

In its standard version an Audi TT-RS develops a total of 340 HP. That's good, but not very impressive for a sports coupe. And since there is always a place for better, Superchips has developed a new tuning package for the TT-RS that takes the small coupe to an impressive 401 HP.
In order to do that, Superchips installed their 'plug and go' kit on the car's 2.5 liter 5-cylinder turbo engine, that increased the output to 401 HP and an impressive 551 NM, with 500 NM delivered between 2,500 and 5,700 rpm. However, despite this engine upgrade, the tuner decide to keep the top speed limited to 155 mph.
"Audi TT RS owners can also be reassured that the Superchips ECU remap delivers a minimal fuel consumption penalty. Indeed if driven in a 'like for like' manner with the standard car, owners will experience no fuel consumption penalty, despite the extra performance."

Congressman McKeon visits China Exchange Program [1]
Congressman Buck McKeon made a visit to Saugus High School on Friday, April 22, 2005, to meet with students and staff regarding the school's newly established Chinese Exchange program. Following a visit to Gao Xin No. 1 High School in Xi'an, China, Principal Bill Bolde and Program Coordinator Mrs. Patty Stephenson presented to the Congressman an overview of their travels and the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the two schools.
Students, staff, parents, district office personnel and Governing Board members were present to participate in this gathering organized to celebrate the exchange and recognize the multifaceted partnership between the school district and Congressman McKeon. Gifts from Saugus High School and Gao Xin High School were presented to the Congressman in respect for his years of dedicated service to education nation-wide. Congressman McKeon presented a U.S. flag that flew over the capitol building in Washington as a personal memento to Madame Jiao, the people of Xi'an and Gao Xin High School.
Congressman McKeon addressed the significance of creating educational, cultural, and business relationships with the people of China.
Saugus High School has added Mandarin Chinese to its curriculum and is expecting three sections to be offered this fall. Gao Xin will be sending 5 of its students to Saugus to study for the Fall semester while Saugus will send 10 students to Gao Xin in the summer of 2006.

Hello folks,
Out of respect for this forum and its members, I don't do this often as I don't want it to become a platform for self-promoting and other annoying sorts of advertising but today exceptionally I wish to share here with you that we've set up a wine tasting event in honor of Chanukkah next week at my wine shop in Jerusalem, THE WINE MILL, with the very kind cooperation of Kinor David's winemaker David Edrei. I thought some of you either living or visiting in Israel might be interested as myself and others here have been raving and buzzing about this winery and especially its dessert wines/port-style or whatever you want to call it for quite a while now and I imagine - well ok, I KNOW - that people here must be either very curious or (pardon my french) quite pissed at all that madness. So here's a great opportunity to experience it without having to buy it if you happen to be then in our neck of the woods. Anyway, following are the details (I will also keep this posting up to date shall there be any changes):
Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday December 9th, 11th and 12th at THE WINE MILL: Big wine tasting with winemaker David Edrei of the Kinor David Winery. Great wines, aged cheeses, donuts and lots of goodies as well as a contest among the participants to win... a wine fridge!
EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com
ENTRANCE FEE: 95 NIS. The fee will be deducted from any purchase of 2 bottles or more (any wine or liqueur/spirit, not necessarily the Kinor David).

The Royal Palace of Caserta
Known as the Italian Versailles, the Royal Palace of Caserta is one of the most superb buildings made during the royal dynasty of the Bourbons. The building has been declared World Heritage of Mankind by the UNESCO and is visited by thousands of people every year.
The royal residence is surrounded by a huge park divided into two gardens: the Italian one and the English one. Commissioned by Charles II, it was planned in 1751 by Architect Luigi Vanvitelli, succeeded by his son Carlo in 1773, and became a symbol of the new bourbon state and of its power as it was in its king's will.
The imposing royal building is preceded by a square entitled to Charles III, delimited, east and west, by two buildings which resemble the colonnade of the Basilica of San Pietro. The royal apartments, preceded by an imposing colonnade with two aisles and a nave, are made up of an eighteenth-century part and a nineteenth-century one. To the Royal Palace also a Library belongs, which includes over 10,000 books of art, law, science and philosophy.
On permanent show, in an elliptic room next to the reading rooms, there is the royal Crib, made up of small statues by the masters of the Neapolitan crib art dating back to the Eighteenth century. From the Crib Room one can reach the part of the Royal Palace which is the richest in paintings of the 18th and 19th centuries.
The royal home also includes the Court theatre, the Opera Museum and the Palatine Chapel with one nave, with a semicircular apses and a lacunar barrel vault.
Closed on Tuesdays; December 25th; January 1st
Visiting Times for the Apartments: 8.30 a.m. – 7.30 p.m.; last entrance: 7.00 p.m.
Show Times: 9.00 a.m. – 6.00 p.m.; guided visit every hour

Metadata overhead alerting
Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to programmatically access the warning and error below, so that I can set up alerting on them. These messages appear in the log in the web console. I looked at mbstats but can't tell if that has all of the necessary information.
Metadata overhead warning. Over 75% of RAM allocated to bucket "membase" on node "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is taken up by keys and metadata. (repeated 79 times)
Hard Out Of Memory Error. Bucket "membase" on node xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is full. All memory allocated to this bucket is used for metadata. (repeated 85 times)
Supplemental note: I found in the web console's bucket monitoring -> vbucket resources that there's a "metadata in RAM" graph, which on hover says it gets derived from ep_ht_memory. However, this value does not get outputted by mbstats. There are other ep_* fields that do get outputted. There are also vb_*_ht_memory fields but those aren't the right ones.

Report: Tennessee At Critical Point In Improving Student Achievement
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The state of Tennessee is at a critical point in its work to improve student academic achievement, according to an annual report released Monday.
The State Collaborative on Reforming Education released 2013-14 State of Education in Tennessee, a comprehensive annual report that assesses Tennessee's recent work to improve K-12 student academic performance.
SCORE's founder and chairman, Senator Bill Frist, presented the 52-page report on Monday. The report showed that the efforts of educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders helped Tennessee become the fastest-improving state in the nation – and overall behind only the District of Columbia – in terms of student achievement, according to the 2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress.
Despite that, it found scores are still below the national average, and only 15 percent of 2013 public school graduates met all four college readiness benchmarks on the ACT.
"Let me be clear: Work remains to continue on the path that will help all students graduate with the skills and knowledge they need to be competitive with their peers across the state, country, and globe," Frist said. "Now is not the time to lose a sense of urgency."
The 2013-14 State of Education in Tennessee report identified these top priorities:
- Maintaining a commitment to rigorous standards and assessments.
- Strengthening schools through effective leadership.
- Expanding student access to great teaching.
- Investing in technology to enhance instruction.
- Supporting students from kindergarten to career.

The kitchen has become one of the most multifaceted areas of the home. You cook in them, entertain in them, relax in them, and yes, you've got to clean them.
As a result, it's one of the first places you should consider integrating electronic systems.
These add-ons needed be expensive. You can start with something as simple as a motion sensor that activates the lights in the pantry automatically when you open the door, or put in a more sophisticated system that can stream music to speakers in the kitchen … and elsewhere.

I just made The Boyfriend dinner and included these simple green beans as a side dish. They are really delicious and easy to make and have only 4 ingredients (excluding salt/pepper).
Simple Sesame Green Beans
- 1 lb green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp hot toasted sesame oil (or regular toasted sesame oil if you don't like heat)
- 1 large onion, cut into half moons
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (we used bamboo smoked black sesame seeds which we found at our local Asian market)
- Salt/Pepper to taste
- In a 12 inch cast iron skillet, boil around 2 inches of water and salt liberally
- Place green beans in the water for 20 seconds, drain and rinse with cold water
- Heat the oil in the skillet until smoking hot, add the onions, pinch of salt and pepper and saute until they are golden
- Add the green beans and cook for 2 minutes; top with sesame seeds and season to taste with salt and pepper
