Washington • General Motors will pay $35 million in a civil settlement with the federal government over its failure to report in a timely manner a defective ignition switch in 2.6 million smaller cars, the Department of Transportation announced Friday.
In addition, regulators said that as part of the consent order, GM agreed to make "significant and wide-ranging internal changes to its review of safety-related issues in the United States, and to improve its ability to take into account the possible consequences of potential safety-related defects."
The faulty ignition switch, in Chevrolet Cobalts, Saturn Ions and other cars, was prone to turn off if it was jostled or weighed down, shutting the engine, and disabling the air bags and power-assisted systems like steering and brakes. GM has linked the defect to 13 deaths and 32 crashes.
"Safety is our top priority, and today's announcement puts all manufacturers on notice that they will be held accountable if they fail to quickly report and address safety-related defects," Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the Transportation Department demanded documents from GM on March 4 so the agency could "evaluate the timing of GM's defect decision-making and reporting of the safety defect."
The record fine is the maximum allowable under law, but regulators are pushing lawmakers to increase that level to $300 million. GM is also facing a $7,000 daily fine over its failure to fully answer 107 questions that regulators had asked.
In a news conference Friday, David Friedman, the acting administrator of the safety agency, said the defect and its grave implications were widely known within GM in 2012, when an engineer connected the problem to air bag failure in an internal email.
"GM engineers knew about the defect, GM investigators knew about the defect, GM lawyers knew about the defect," Friedman said.
And long before that, GM received multiple warnings of the defect, its filings with regulators have shown.
Friedman said employees, including engineers and executives, were briefed on the safety defect in the years running up to the recall.
When asked if GM's chief executive, Mary T. Barra, specifically, was briefed, he said: "I don't have any records of that."
GM has already made changes to its safety practices since it began recalling the cars in February. It has appointed a new global head of vehicle safety, Jeff Boyer, and named a new vice president in charge of global product integrity, Ken Morris. It has also hired a team of product investigators to examine consumer complaints and warranty claims for potential product safety issues in vehicles.
"We have learned a great deal from this recall," Barra said in a statement Friday. "We will now focus on the goal of becoming an industry leader in safety. We will emerge from this situation a stronger company."
GM is awaiting the results of an internal investigation by Anton Valukas, a former U.S. attorney.

Shelly & Marty got married!! by Shelly & Marty got married!! - almost 3 years ago
"Me and my fella wanted to get married on our 5 year anniversary in Las Vegas. We're not traditional but I wanted to wear something special for our day. I decided to make shirts that would announce our wedding and the date in a way that we could be completely comfortable wearing all day. Though I wanted them to be the same, I wanted his to be more "boy" and mine to be more "girl" so by making shirts I could utilize different fonts to accopmplish my goal. The shirts were a HUGE hit on the strip in Vegas. We got standing ovations from crowds of strangers as we walked past. We got free drinks all day and kind, congratulatory words from everyone that saw us. Alot of people commented on what a good idea the shirts were, and I was pleased to smile and tell them "customink.com" :-)"

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"After multiple samples; my fiancé and I have decided on this one! I'm excited for our spring wedding and I love this invitation. I love all the pictures that we are able to put on this invitation and the theme is great."
"I love the look of this product - front AND back. Please note that the "preset phrasing" on the invitations can be more customized to what you want; I added into the notes what I wanted (Bride and Grooms name on separate lines, grooms parents name after grooms name, etc) and they revised it to exactly how I wanted it. They even gave me a few different options based on what they thought might look better or less wordy. So keep in mind that just because there are a few templates to use, you can still customize it to exactly how you want it!!!"
"From online you might think its a little too different but order a sample at least. It's really beautiful and very elegant when you have it in person. The perfect amount of different and unique for me!"
"The invites look amazing. I ended up spending a little extra for the double thick paper stock and am so happy I did. I was so pleased when everything arrived. My only complaint is with the envelopes. WPD can't print your return address on the colored envelopes so I has to go with white. They look ok but don't really match the quality of the actual invites."
"Amazing customer service - they not only customized the card for me, but fixed the mistake I made even before I noticed it. They came out gorgeous."

Today's guests:
director of research
Bloomberg Government
In the run-up to the presidential election, rule-making took the back seat in the administration. But now the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs is gearing up again. Bob Litan is the director of research at Bloomberg Government. They have a new study about what we can expect.
(BGov.com is a paid site and requires a subscription for access.)
NeoSystems Corp.
Federal employees may face furloughs and who-knows-what-else under the across-the-board budget cuts scheduled for March. Federal contractors are preparing for reduced revenues under sequestration too. NeoSystems provides business services to federal contractors, so it has a good view of how vendors are faring.
procurement attorney
Petrillo and Powell
A ruling in a 2012 Supreme Court case could come back to bite federal agencies facing budget cuts under sequestration. The court held that an agency is liable to a contractor for the entire amount of a contract, as long has it has sufficient appropriations to pay. If contract obligations come first, other programs could get short-changed.
director of information security issues
Government Accountability Office
The Energy Department says hackers have attacked agency computer servers. Employees and contractors may be at risk of identity theft. And just yesterday, government auditors slammed the FCC for security flaws in its new, supposedly more secure, computer networks. Taken together, the cases underscore some fears that agencies are not equipped to ward off sophisticated online assaults. Gregory Wilshusen is director of information security issues at the Government Accountability Office. He wrote the report on the FCC network.
vice president
Partnership for Public Service
The word "furlough" keeps popping up more and more as the threat of sequestration looms on the horizon. Here to prepare you for the difficult decisions you may find yourself having to make is John Palguta, vice president of the Partnership for Public Service.

Brian Burke could become a very busy man in the days that lie ahead before training camp.
While the new labour agreement, tying players and owners together for at least eight more years, has yet to be ratified, its impending implementation could – could in the strongest sense of the word with so many details as yet unknown – stand to benefit Burke and the Leafs.
Toronto was generally quiet this past offseason – one that saw splashy deals handed out left and right – adding only James Van Riemsdyk and Jay McClement to an already crowded forward complement.
Perhaps that was by design.
It's long been thought that Burke would wait out the next collective bargaining agreement before striking on those parties disadvantaged by the impending cap crunch. The cap is expected to rise to $70 million this season before shrinking back down to $64 million in 2013-2014. A trimmed-down number was to be expected, but the immediate decrease could still prove challenging to some parties, forcing them to shed salary on waiting vultures like the Leafs.
The Montreal Canadiens for example, already sit at slightly more than $60 million for next season, surely slimming down by using at least one of the two amnesty provisions provided by the new agreement. Others like the Lightning ($57.5 million), Flyers ($57.4), Bruins ($57.3) and Blackhawks also hover near the impending limit.
This looks to be where Burke's potential advantage lies, although he shied away from such a notion when contacted by email on Sunday. Asked whether he anticipated trade activity this week, Burke responded flatly, "I do not."
The numbers line up in his favour, however, making it a realistic possibility.
The Leafs have cap space, both now and in the future. For this season, according to Cap Geek, Toronto has about $6.7 million to play with, enough to add a significant piece or two. It's a year later, however, that the money really frees up; only 13 players are currently signed, lending to cap space of slightly less than $23 million (not including any potential buyouts). Only three players (Van Riemsdyk, Mikhail Grabovski and John-Michael Liles) remain signed beyond that.
With so many details of the new CBA as yet unknown, it's unclear just how much of an advantage Burke will have in this respect. If teams are able to add salary in trades, a rule Burke has championed, the Leafs could be in a prime position to add talent – albeit expensive talent – addressing a range of deficiencies on the roster. Will the CBA punish teams who signed players to lengthy, back-diving contracts even after said player is traded or retires? These are facts we just don't have currently, slightly hamstringing any real foresight on the matter.
One other necessary ingredient to evaluate in regards to the Leafs future cap space is the impending and potentially rich free agent market for 2013. Among the names currently unsigned beyond this year: Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Jarome Iginla, Derek Roy, Alexander Edler, Ryane Clowe, Nathan Horton, Simon Gagne, Stephen Weiss, Jimmy Howard, Douglas Murray and Toronto's own Joffrey Lupul and Clarke MacArthur. If available, many names in that list could interest the Leafs, starting with Getzlaf and Perry
At this point, goaltending and defence remain the club's two greatest weaknesses.
Dealing for a veteran netminder of Roberto Luongo's quality would immediately solve the goaltending instability – assuming he's interested in joining the Leafs – but is the organization prepared to assume the weight of such a contract? Do the instant benefits outweigh the long-term costs? Again, without knowing full details of the CBA, it's difficult to assume.
If they're not prepared to take on Luongo's extensive contract (10 years remaining, with an annual cap hit of $5.3 million), the Leafs could and should look to upgrade on defence. An already question-laden group is hurting. Jake Gardiner has been sidelined with a concussion since December – his immediate availability is in doubt – and Cody Franson remains unsigned. The other current holdovers include Dion Phaneuf, Carl Gunnarsson, Mike Komisarek and John-Michael Liles.
Mike Kostka (second in points among AHL defenceman) and Paul Ranger (among the AHL leaders in plus/minus) have both been exceptional for the Marlies, but remain uncertain products at the NHL level. Morgan Rielly could emerge as an intriguing option or Randy Carlyle could simply opt for safer depth products like a Korbinian Holzer or Mark Fraser.
The Leafs are likely in a waiting pattern until the new labour agreement is set in stone and full details become available, but based on early returns from the deal, the Leafs could be in a strategically viable position.

Driven by consumer, business and government demand, Latin America has been making giant strides forward in the development of its telecom services. But the strategies adopted so far in meeting this demand are as diverse as the region itself.
Worldwide demand for broadband and wireless services is growing at double-digit rates as businesses and consumers rely more and more on high-speed and mobile communications platforms. The networks that service those systems require power - a lot of it.

1. There's no "delete" button next to a post I just wrote on my own profile.
2. The automatic zooming-in on the website is terrible! I often try to type into a comment box but instead my phone zooms in on a place on the page where I am not even typing. Or it zooms in so much that I can't see the rest of my sentence. Then zooming out gets tricky & requires me to pinch a specific part of the page (It won't work if I do it on a text box).
3. The buttons & links could be bigger or better. Sometimes when I click on buttons (Through touch-screen phone), the website will not recognize it and will make me have to reclick again. Or worse, assume I clicked on a different link (or ad) and send me to a page I don't want to be on :/
4. I don't know why, but if I begin typing a comment in a thread and then scroll down to look at something, when I scroll back up to the comment box my text gets deleted! Or the page randomly refreshes & erases it.
Many websites have "mobile version" websites. When you go to the website you have a choice of "full site" or "mobile site." This would probably fix up the little glitches popping up when a phone-user tries to access the site. I couldn't be the only one experiencing this.

What our readers have to say
Leave Rail to the Experts
Rail opponents keep missing the point on rail transit. Rail is about growth management, not reducing traffic. One rail opponent asked why should we do it if it is not going to reduce traffic? Here is why:
In Hawaii, we have to ask ourselves, How will we grow? On Oahu 3,500 to 4,000 new households are created each year. That means we will need to built 100,000 new homes over the next 25 years. Where will they live? "No growth" is not an option. We have an affordable housing crisis because we are not producing enough homes to meet the demand.
Shall we continue to build homes over our agricultural lands? We can build out (urban sprawl) or up (higher density in the urban core). I applaud our elected officials who have supported rail transit for choosing to protect our open spaces while keeping housing prices under control. Rail transit is a key infrastructure component that will allow us to build "up". HOT lanes encourage urban sprawl. Tampa is a perfect example of urban sprawl and what we don't need more of in Hawaii. Furthermore, if rail transit is planned with housing in mind, the city and state can trade land use and zoning entitlements in exchange for affordable housing along the route.
If we don't plan for high density growth, the new housing supply will decrease and island-wide prices will increase. More and more middle-class people will be forced to get government subsidized housing or leave the island or be homeless. It costs about $300,000 to subsidize one affordable rental unit. Multiply that by the 10,000 units the state says we are short. That's three billion dollars of taxpayer subsidy and no solution to affordable housing or urban sprawl.
I have yet to hear one anti-rail person intelligently argue against rail when the discussion is framed around "growth" versus "traffic". Maybe the anti-rail folks don't care about protecting our open lands. Maybe they already own their homes and have forgotten what it is like to be a renter or first-time homebuyer. Too often those people are young teachers, fire fighters and police officers.
Maybe if everyone who votes goes to school to become experts in rail technology and urban planning, then I agree that we should allow the public to vote on these critical issues. Otherwise, leave it to the experts.

Project Kahn rolls out more tuning programs for some of the most desirable cars on the market than any other aftermarket company we know. So when the Frankfurt Motor Show rolled around, it was expected that the British tuning company would be in attendance to show off their latest programs.
One of these is the new Vesuvius program for the Porsche Cayenne . Comprising of styling and engine updates, the Vesuvius kit once again showcases just how good these guys are at what they do.
The most noticeable upgrade for this particular Cayenne is the new body kit that seamlessly blends in with the car's white body finish. Among the items included in the kit are buffed up fenders, rows of horizontal and vertical LED headlights, and a new set of Project Kahn's very own RS wheels. Meanwhile, the interior of the Cayenne has been dressed up with a top-quality bespoke treatment that can be tailor-made depending on the customer's preference.
As for the engine upgrade, Project Kahn has yet to divulge intimate details about it, opting only to say that it's going to have a 'monstrous' engine upgrade. In standard form, the Cayenne carries a 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel engine that delivers 240 horsepower and 405 lb/ft of torque. These figures are good enough for the SUV to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 7.8 seconds with a top speed of 136 mph. We can only imagine just how much of an improvement in performance the Porsche SUV will receive when Project Kahn finally reveals that 'monstrous' engine upgrade they guaranteed it will have.

Our customer was faced with these challenges after the Government of Alberta (GOA) passed the Access to the Future Act in 2005. The vision was to create and implement a web-based application system to provide students with easier access to essential information, services and admission to Alberta's colleges, universities and technical institutes. The Alberta Post Secondary Application System (APAS) will connect all 21 of the public provincial post-secondary institutions, allowing student transcript information to be passed electronically between institutions.
Acrodex provided a team of highly experienced consultants to provide a solution for the integration of our customer's systems with the provincial post-secondary application system. Our team employed our industry-standards based techniques for project management and software development. Acrodex specializes in assessing, building & supporting application systems and integration solutions with secure and scalable architecture. With this solution, Acrodex applied:
Our extensive software architecture knowledge applied to create a lean streamlined framework
An iterative approach to development and support work to deliver early value
Our knowledge of the Government of Alberta Enterprise Architecture (GAEA)
As a result of our solution, our Post-Secondary customer will receive applications submitted by students through the centralized government application system. This will ensure that the institution remains a leading provider of higher educational in the province, and again additional exposure for their programs through the government program. Students benefit from the added convenience of applying to multiple schools, but still accessing the wide array of programs offered by this institution. Other highlights of our solution include:
A simple, user-friendly interface
The use of Smart forms so the user is aware of the effects of their choices
A multi-threaded architecture for processing long-running service calls to ensure system responsiveness
Strong failover capabilities to ensure high-availability
Integration with the GOA Secure Identity and Access Management System (SIAMS)
Our integration solutions, built using the Microsoft application platform and tools, can help a diverse range of clients to integrate with hosted services to realize shared business value. Through this particular solution, Acrodex has proven capability to integrate with e- Government services.

(Silicon Valley) August 15, 2012 – Riding the wave of successfully social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, a new start up out of Silicon Valley launched this week called YourFace. YourFace is the first anti-social network, and hopes to find mass appeal among love-able losers worldwide.
YourFace allows users to do much of the same things they are currently used to on Facebook such as upload photos, update their status and, check-in to local hotspots. However they will be unable to friend anyone else on YourFace, or see anyone else's profiles.
"Who's your biggest fan?" asked YourFace co-founder Chris Peterson. "You! So why not create a place where you brag all about the show you just saw, or the meal you just had, but not worry about anyone else seeing your stuff and leaving nasty comments such as 'hey Chris, you're so gay!' or 'why don't go back to your basement and play Dungeons and Dragon's nerd!'"
Some unique features that YourFace will have include, syncing to your World of Warcraft account to track your game progress, and a database of all the Magic Cards and game tips and tricks for reference. Developers are also working on a "Basement Renovation" app that allows you to see different ways to organize your Mom's basement, and the best place to put the TV so she won't complain about hearing you play Halo all night.
While Peterson says they will not release the names of YourFace users and the exact amount of users, he assures us that excitement is running high in underground chat rooms, and that if he showed us the chat rooms, he would have to kill us. Then he laughed to himself, snorted, and adjusted his glasses.
Even though YourFace users can not have human friends attached to their page, they can include their cats. However, they do intend to put a limit of 15 cats because according to Peterson, "after 15 cats, things start to get a little weird."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A Breckenridge Metro High School student was arrested at school Thursday after police said he got out of control.
According to the arrest report, it all started when 18-year-old Terrell Q. Gray was in class when he became angry and threw papers at a teacher.
An assistant principal walking by the classroom witnessed the incident. Police said the assistant principal went into the room and asked Gray to pick up the papers. Gray refused and said "bro, stop yelling."
Gray was then escorted out of the room, police said, and once outside the classroom "he turned with fist balled ans swung at staff member." Other staff members stepped in and restrained Gray.
Police said Gray was out of control by this time and continued to yell at staff members.
Gray is charged with 3rd degree assault.

Natrol Vitamin D3 Fast Dissolve Wild Cherry 2000 IU - 90 Mini-Tabs
Natrol Vitamin D3 Fast Dissolve Wild Cherry contains 2000 IU of Vitamin D3, the single most important nutrient recommended for supplementation. Natrol Vitamin D3 Fast Dissolve Wild Cherry not only helps to build strong bones, emerging research suggests it also supports immunity, regulates cell growth, and may help promote a healthy heart, prostate and colon. Vitamin D is usually obtained through diet or produced by the skin from the ultraviolet energy of the sun. Poor diet and lack of sun exposure can result in inadequate intake of Vitamin D for optimal health.
Vitamin DThe fat-soluble vitamin D's most important role is maintaining blood levels of calcium, which it accomplishes by increasing absorption of calcium from food and reducing urinary calcium loss. Both effects keep calcium in the body and therefore spare the calcium that is stored in bones. When necessary, vitamin D transfers calcium from the bone into the bloodstream, which does not benefit bones. Although the overall effect of vitamin D on the bones is complicated, some vitamin D is necessary for healthy bones and teeth.
Where is it found?Cod liver oil is an excellent dietary source of vitamin D, as are vitamin D-fortified foods. Traces of vitamin D are found in egg yolks and butter. However, the majority of vitamin D in the body is created during a chemical reaction that starts with sunlight exposure to the skin. Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is the animal form of this vitamin.

How To: Mix It Up
Yesterday, we asked if you mix up styles in your home. We were excited to discover that a bunch of you do mix it up (and seriously, we'd love to see some pictures!). But, if you're newer to the decorating game and not sure where to start, we have a few tips to help you mix it up successfully in your home...
- Start with the backdrop: white or simple walls are a good start if your home has good bones. Otherwise, set the stage with wallpaper or paint.
- Begin with one piece: often this is the biggest piece. A couch in the living room, a bed in the bedroom, the table in the dining room.
- Balance out the big piece with another piece (or two) of furniture that plays off the characteristics of the first piece: In this picture, a heavy and masculine black leather chesterfield is balanced out by the curvaceous femininity of the more modern white sofa that faces it. Keep one thing similar. In this case, both sofas have similar curves.
- Add something to tie the pieces together: A fluffy white rug softens the black leather sofa but, because it's white, and the same color as the smaller sofa, it makes that sofa appear bigger.
- Add a third note with accessories: Colour in the paintings, the pillows and the ottoman keep your eye dancing around and not resting too long on any one element. Notice how the stitching in the ottoman reflects the stitching in the black sofa but because it's pink and round, it feels feminine.

I recognize that pic from LivingEtc - I loved that place and stashed that issue away.
that pic plus others from the apartment is featured in the latest Canadian House & Home. the owners are two guys - with deliciously feminine taste.
I love that leaning mirror! Anyone have details?
Anyone know what's in that glass box on the coffee table? are they postage envelopes? paperback books?
I have seen that mirror at TJMaxx. I guess that doesn't help. I wanted it bad, but my DH said absolutely not.
verano - love letters
nothing like putting pillows on a leather sofa to make it look tack.
That would be "tacky."
Griffin....check out ballard designs...they have really similar mirrors
It is not quite as beautiful, but similar
I have been considering it for some time now...
I've always loved those tufted leather men's club sofas.
I think the secret to mixing styles is to have one predominant style and mix in pieces from other styles. Unless there is a clearly dominant style, eclectic will almost always just look junky. Or as some would prefer to call it, funky.
anyone know where I can get these larger rectangular style pillows?
Tacky? Uh oh, I was looking for throw pillows for our leather sofa...
We just moved into a new house and have to combine two couches from two seperate rooms:
a large sectional that is microfiber sage green and a chocolate brown leather love seat. The wall colors will be grey and we are looking for an area rug to tie the room together. Any suggestions on how to tie 2 seperate textures together.
I think the key to mixing is to look for quality pieces that have some relationship to one another. Even if those relationships may not be obvious - i.e. my grandmother's blanket chest, with my contemporary sofa. I clearly love modern pieces, but the blanket chest has a lot of memories.
alisonlynne, i think those pillows are Designers Guild.
We are proud owners of a chesterfield sofa. I tried putting pillows on it, but it did look a bit odd - it is such a showpiece for us (being our other pieces are like WAY cheaper and not as chic). and the cheap pillows (mine are cheap, anyway!) just made it look like a dorm.
My endlesss battle to design with it, for it, around it is challenging. Yet..chesterfield sofas go with everything. Ours is a lighter brown.
It's kind of hard to do pillows on leather chesterfields. I usually put them on the (non leather) chair(s) instead.
The beauty of these sofas is that you don't need to adjust pillows all the time. :D
Quiltmaster - not entirely true... you do need some sort of theme but I don't think it needs to be style or period. Color schemes can work really well. I think if you played off the the light in the space - putting pieces where they complemented the 'bones' - you wouldn't need a terribly strict color scheme, even.
But it is very easy to slide into a motley miscellany of junkiness.

NEW ORLEANS - The tow boat Kristin Alexis capsized a little before 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, tossing five crew members into the swirling Mississippi. Fortunately, they were quickly rescued, but the wreckage remains.
According to Port of New Orleans officials, a salvage operation is expected to begin Wednesday morning.
"As of right now, there's only a small portion of the super structure above water, and it's in about 60 feet of water in the location where it's now submerged, approximately 150 feet off the Louisiana Avenue Wharf," said Paul Zimmerman, Director of Operations at the port.
Initial reports suggested wake from a passing ship may have flipped the vessel onto its side, but officials said an investigation is under way to determine the exact cause.
Shortly after the accident, another tow boat rescued four of the crew members, while people on a boat docked at the Louisiana Avenue Wharf pulled the fifth from the water.
"Certainly could've been worse," Zimmerman said. "It's an unfortunate situation whenever something like this happens, but the good news, of course, is five crew members were rescued rather quickly, and they're all safe."
Officials said the incident left a minimal environmental impact, but Coast Guard crews deployed boom to contain about a one-mile-long sheen of diesel that spilled from the wreckage.
Tuesday afternoon, divers worked to make sure no more diesel leaked from the sunken vessel.
Officials with Marquette Transportation Company, the tow boat's owner, declined to comment on the incident.
Daniele Watts said she was detained by police on Thursday because they thought she was a prostitute.

Parallels Automation 5.0 launched at HostingCon enables Service Providers to rapidly and easily deliver new Cloud services. Improves profitability and allows targeting new customers and markets.
Austin, TX, 21 July 2010 – Parallels CEO Serguei Beloussov today outlined the future of Cloud service delivery by announcing the launch of Parallels Automation 5.0 (PA5.0) in his keynote presentation at HostingCon 2010.
The announcement introduced new key features in Parallels Automation 5.0, including support for delivering Microsoft Exchange 2010, unified communications with Office Communications Server 2007 R2 services, improved cloud syndication capabilities, customer on-premise directory integration, as well as over 100 other features.
"With the competition to attract small businesses to the Cloud heating up, Service Providers need to deliver profitable Cloud services to market at an ever-increasing pace," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO and Chairman at Parallels. "Adding Microsoft Exchange 2010, Office Communications Server and customer directory integration to Parallels Automation 5.0 allows Service Providers to increase average revenue per user, reduce operational costs and attract new customers."
Beloussov added, "Service Providers can now be amongst the first to offer their customers Hosted Exchange 2010 email. It also enables them to increase ARPU and decrease churn by cross-selling the latest Microsoft unified communications services."
This release of Parallels Automation 5.0 also significantly improves Open-Xchange-based services capabilities for business class email providing an additional source of revenue for Service Providers.
"One of the advantages of the Parallels platform is that it has allowed us to dramatically expand our product portfolio and ultimately be a single vendor of choice for our customers' business communication and collaboration needs," said Chris Damvakaris, Vice President of Sales and Business Development at Apptix. "On top of being able to offer Hosted Exchange, Hosted SharePoint, and VoIP, Parallels Automation allows us to roll out Web conferencing, secure IM, online backup, DNS hosting and Web site hosting."
The release of PA5.0 also includes Parallels Business Automation 5.0 (PBA) which boasts PCI Payment Application DSS certification. This simplifies PCI audits for Service Providers that require PCI DSS compliance.
"Parallels Automation provides a carrier-class tool with robust features and the ability to integrate new services such as BlackBerry and GoodLink — but its interface is simple enough so that mobile customers can manage their own accounts through a Web-based control panel," said David Grantz, Chief Technology Officer at ExchangeMyMail.

College financial aid can be daunting for incoming college students and their families, and Sunday they got some help from some pros.
JWCC staff helped students electronically file their FAFSA Form.
They say it's important for them to fill out and submit their FAFSA form in a timely manner - even if they don't know where they're going to school.
They say the later they wait, the harder it is to get scholarship money.
It's best to do that as soon as possible to get in line for that federal aid, the Illinois grant - which is called the MAP Grant - does run out quickly, so that's the big one to get in for, that is usually cut off in March so it's good to do that soon," said Julie Porter.
JWCC Staff say one thing that people tend to ask about are the numbers from their taxes that need to go on the FAFSA, And some other general questions about things like household size.

Carrot and Dried-Currant Muffins
Carrots make these muffins very moist; their flavor is highlighted by cardamom and ginger. The muffins are delicious spread with whipped cream cheese.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- Unsalted butter, for muffin tins
- 3/4 cup dried currants
- 1 1/2 cups plus 4 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil, plus more for wire rack
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 1/2 cups finely grated carrots (about 6 carrots)
Cook's Note
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 6 cups of a jumbo muffin tin (each cup should have a 1-cup capacity). Heat currants and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over low heat until currants are plump, about 20 minutes. Drain; let currants cool.
Step 2
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom, and ginger in a medium bowl; set aside.
Step 3
Put eggs, oil, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add the flour mixture in three batches, and mix until just combined after each addition. Fold in the carrots and currants.
Step 4
Pour batter into prepared muffin tin, leaving a 1/2-inch space above batter in each cup. Bake until tops are golden and a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let muffins cool in tin on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Remove tin from rack, and lightly oil rack. Run a thin knife around the sides of muffins to loosen, and unmold. Let cool completely on rack.

Oooh-la-la! Take a look at what landed on my desk just in time for Fashion Week: a new collection of macarons from Maison Ladurée [1]. The pastel shades echo the divine flavors — think Strawberry Candy, Lemon Lime, Almond, Violette and Blood Orange Ginger. They are almost (almost!) too gorgeous to eat. Just the absolute picture of confectionery chic, n'est-ce pas? They'd make a lovely thank-you gift for your bridesmaids or parents ($21 for a box of six).

THURSDAY, Sept. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Different risk factors
contribute to indoor and outdoor falls among the elderly and these
differences need to be incorporated into fall prevention programs,
a new study suggests.
U.S. researchers studied 765 people, aged 70 and older, in the
Boston area. Over two years, the participants reported 598 indoor
falls and 524 outdoors falls. After someone suffered a fall, they
were interviewed about the circumstances.
The study found that those who fell indoors had inactive
lifestyles, more physical disabilities, took more medications, and
had lower cognitive function (or thinking skills) than those who
fell outdoors.
Participants who fell outdoors were generally younger than those
who fell indoors, were more likely to be male and better educated,
and had lifestyles that indicated better health.
The study, published online Sept. 8 in the
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, has a number of implications, said senior author Marian T. Hannan, a senior scientist at the Institute for Aging Research of Hebrew SeniorLife, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School.
The findings show that falls are not necessarily an indication
of poor health and that fall prevention programs require different
approaches for those at risk for indoor or outdoor falls.
"Most fall prevention programs emphasize the prevention of indoor falls, particularly through strength, balance and gait training; use of assistive devices; treatment of medical conditions; reduction in the use of certain medications; improvement in vision; and the elimination of home hazards," Hannan and colleagues reported.
Most of these programs don't take into account causes of outdoor
falls, which make up at least half of all falls suffered by seniors
each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Outdoor falls tend to occur on sidewalks, streets,
curbs or in parking lots, Hannan pointed out in a news release from
the institute.
"Healthy, active older people should be aware of their surroundings, especially when walking outdoors. More attention needs to be paid to the elimination of outdoor environmental hazards involving sidewalks, curbs and streets, such as repairing uneven surfaces, removing debris, installing ramps at intersections and painting curbs," Hannan recommended.

older adults and falls.

If the horsepower gains arent enough for you, check out the anodized finish on the c Ignition Solutions numbers HP: 198.7 TQ: 196.0 Baseline numbers HP: 193.1 TQ: 195.0 In todays tuner aftermarket of ad gimmicks and wordplay, its difficult to know what will and will not give you horsepower increases. In most cases, tuners and racers will tell you that you cant obtain horsepower from spark, a spark is a spark, end of story, thank you, next, please. We found thats not always the case (yes, we have dyno sheets to prove it). Enter Ignition Solutions, a San Diegobased company that has invented a new type of ignition system for your European car. We went to R&D Dyno in Gardena, California, to get the Ignition Solutions crew to put their money where their mouth is on their new Plasma Direct Ignition system. We really should have kept quiet. They provided the car, a stock 01 BMW 330Ci, and we said show us some horsepower increases. Then they whisked us away into the garage, wooed us over with Krispy Kreme doughnuts and coffee, and went to work on the car. The Plasma Direct Ignition is really as close as you can get to plug-and-play as far as modding goes. Most ignition systems require cutting into the harness and not many people like to do that. The Ignition Solutions Plasma Direct Ignition offers an alternative to that route. To install the system is as easy as: remove old coils, replace with Ignition Solutions coils. We were going to have a group of first graders come in to do it, but our legal department said something about child labor laws and big lawsuit in the same sentence, so we figured it was bad. In stock form, the BMW produced 193.1 whp and 195.0 lb-ft of torque. We then equipped the car with the Plasma Direct Ignition coils and pulled it back onto the dyno. When it was all done the car had pulled a significant increase in horsepower and torque. The end results showed the car dyno-testing at 198.7 whp and 196.0 lb-ft of torque. The way the technology works is to amplify the primary and secondary spark by 100 percent. In your average ignition system, about 99 percent of the spark is wasted in whats called a long duration spark. By using a faster spark and increasing the charge you waste less and use more. The way they get the system to spark faster is by using an alternating current, which results in almost four times the spark during the initial discharge. In the end we learned two lessons: One is, you can get horsepower from spark. The second is, you can probably live off of Krispy Kreme doughnuts. The Numbers: Baseline HP: 193.1 Baseline TQ: 195.0 Ignition Solutions HP: 198.7 Ignition Solutions TQ: 196.0 Tech Facts: Vehicle: 2001 BMW 330 Ci Engine: 3.0L I-6 Cylinder Parts: Ignition Solutions Plasma Direct Ignition MSRP: $775.99 Pertinent Info: The Ignition Solutions Plasma Direct Ignition is a replacement for the stock ignition system that offers a cleaner, more powerful spark. Unlike a lot of aftermarket ignition systems, it doesnt require cutting into your stock harness, which can save a ton of headaches if you dont like wiring schematics. The ignition system was also tested on a dyno for before- and-after results. The tests were performed on a Dynojet 248c and the car was in bone-stock form when we did the tests.

I have been on this for almost 2 years. I have bad joint and muscle pain but I haven't had a lung infection in the entire time I have been on this. Still have trouble breathing but I think this medication has prevented me from getting worse. Love it and feel without it I would have died by now.

Ease of Use
I am very happy with aralast. The only concern I have is the infusion must take over 30 min. or I get a headache and/or light headed. So be sure nurse doing the infusion keeps the drip slow enough to prevent these reactions. Dave from Grand Island

SuperBoats' expertise and dedication to restoring and
repairing high-performance powerboats, cruisers, fishing
boats and yachts provides us with the unique opportunity
to experience design successes and failures of others
first-hand across many boat brands... a distinct advantage
in designing and building new powerboats. This in-depth
access to boats of all types is a unique advantage no
other manufacturer can claim or even pursues!
McManus hulls are known to last 20-plus
years — unheard of in a high-performance boat
designed for rough offshore seas. The hull lifespan,
safety record, and unmatched quality command a higher
resale value than any other 40' high-performance
deep-vee in the market today. Many long-term McManus
clients have had their own boats restored and rigged
by our experienced team. In fact, McManus has restored
half of the Apache® boats he originally built in
the '80s and early '90s. These were refurbished,
not reconstructed, meaning the hulls were still in perfect
condition; the new owners were interested in updating
the look of the boats. Electrical, navigational, mechanical
and fuel systems as well as console arrangements, transoms
and cabin layouts are restored or replaced, helping
owners realize a substantial savings over a new purchase.

Looking for high-quality conference badges or personalized backstage passes? Sick of white paper name badges? Look no further!
Variable Data
Variable data printing at Access Pass & Design means we are able to personalize each individual live-event credential with a different name, company, title, and numbering. This allows your attendees to easily identify each other, represent their company or organization, and shows them you went the extra mile to make a badge just for them.
Major national and international conferences and organizations like Hilton Meetings, Billboard Events, Capitol One, NAMM, Canadian Music Week, Pollstar, Commonwealth Financial Network, Global Gaming Expo, and Wells Fargo trust us to provide top-quality, accurate, attendee badges to represent their brand. Additionally, many of our college sports teams make personalized badges for their season credential holders, working staff, and crew.
Just send us a simple spreadsheet of the data you want represented on the badge (first name, last name, title, organization, etc) along with the associated badge designation (VIP, Guest, All Access, etc) and we'll take care of the rest. You'll see a complete data proof .pdf for your approval before we ever go to print. This way, we ensure that your attendees are represented correctly and you enhance your event brand.
In our experience, personalized badges more often become keepsakes of the event than a non-personalized badge, which means that the sponsorship you sold associated with the badge is worth even more.
Access Pass & Design excels at other types of live-event credential customization as well, like versions (Day 1 Pass vs. Day 2 pass, etc) and badge designations (VIP, guest, AAA, etc).

It's not uncommon for women to avoid the weights section when they go to the gym, but this week's "Smarter Living" will examine how lifting weights can help reverse the signs of aging.
Sharon met with personal trainer Bekah Morgan who said that women should definitely not shy away from the weights.
"The key is muscle," she said. "Muscle is a woman's best friend. Muscle is going to help you burn more calories at rest."Morgan said that after women reach a certain age, aging starts to take a toll on their body.
"After the age of 30 we actually lose one percent of our muscle mass each year and we lose bone density after the age of 40," she said.
This can be slowed down and potentially even reversed if regular strength training is added to your daily routine.
Morgan said one of the biggest myths is that lifting weights will make you bulky. In reality, muscle is what gives you a tight and toned body.
Morgan showed Sharon just a few lower body circuit workouts that she likes. These include step-ups, walking lunges and sumo squats.
For examples of these workouts, you can check out the video on the top of the page.
Morgan suggests that if weights are a new addition to your daily routine, it's a good idea to start with something light, maybe around five pounds. As your body gets stronger, increase the weight and add variety.
The lower body muscles are the largest in your body, so it's good to challenge them and keep your muscles guessing. It's also important to make sure you give your muscles a break - she suggests working on your lower body one day and your upper body the next. Consistency is the key.
Sharon's background has helped mold her into an outstanding journalist and a perfect fit for our community. Sharon's also a trained pianist and a member of NABJ. More>>

I have been absent from the forums for a couple of months now. TTC was getting so sad for me and I just needed to spend more time with God and let Him handle things. I just wanted to spead some more hope because I know this forum can be particularly challenging!
My first pregnancy, it took us 2 months to get pregnant - that was it! I just thought that was normal then. I know now that there was nothing normal about that pregnancy But we really wanted more children, so we tried... for 8 months!! That seemed like forever, but I'm now pregnant. I'm only 5 weeks or so, so I have no idea how this time around will go, but I trust God to take care of it.
It is so hard to let go and not try to control it all, but that is usually what works the best. I wish you all the best!

In an article about the Minnesota Twins, Bill James wrote a brilliant piece on a team getting something out of a truly wayward season. He called it "THAT was one Ugly Baby" and I think that might apply to this year's Oilers.
They are dead, as dead as dead can be. And yet there are things that could show progress. Like Paajarvi's development.
That's Blind Faith in Hyde Park, their first live gig. Basically Steve Winwood and some nobodies, they sure sound wonderful. I think they could have been something if they'd have a guitar player.
- RNH: "To me being good defensively is very important. I want to be trusted by the coach and that all starts with my defensive play. I'm going to keep working on it and I'm not going to let myself get frustrated by it. I'm just going to keep working."
Who knows how this turns out, but when a kid this good also has a work ethic–sky's the limit. The Nuge hasn't found the range, so maybe he explodes (as he did last year) with a hat trick or a 5 assist night. He's most certainly showing well in many aspects of the game we associate with mature players.
Any word on Hartikainen? We're at the point in the season when players disappear like Von Trapps over the hills. That 4th line remains a disaster, but the Oilers aren't going to do anything to address it with Horcoff and Hartikainen so close to returning. Or not.
A nice article by Jesse Spector on this waiver thing some teams are using nowadays.
In honor of Magnus Paajarvi, whose sideburns and waiver ineligibility means he's probably playing his last games for Edmonton before heading to OKC:
I wish the Red Wings would send us Jim Nill as the next GM. I don't think there's an secret to the Red Wings success, unless you think "do everything humanly possible to win each game" is a revelation.
They do things so logically. Consider:
- The Red Wings needed some offensive punch so reached into the Swiss-A league for Damien Brunner. He played with Zetterberg during the lockout and plays with him now in Detroit. The other linemate in Zug–Linus Omark–won the scoring championship and I dare say at some point the Red Wings will sign Omark and bring him over for a look-see. NOTHING GUARANTEED mind you, that's the Detroit way. And it works.
- The Red Wings needed someone to replace Nick Lidstrom's minutes, and I thought Brendan Smith would turn into a feature player (he's 24, and has 2.5 years of AHL experience). No sir 18 minutes a night and he doesn't play every game. Detroit will NOT push a guy. Zetterberg played 16 minutes a night as a 22-year old rookie, and that was 4th on the team among forwards. Datsyuk was 8th in F TOO as a 23-year old rookie. Of course, both of them performed very well and would soon increase their role but the point is that Detroit took care to make sure the long term was always the goal. Detroit puts their young players in a position to succeed, and have an amazing track record.
I don't think the Oilers win tonight, and it's clear they'll be in the NW basement when they return from the road trip
I keep hoping one day management will find a team they believe in and give them help at center and on defense when it's needed. I can't imagine the restraint it must take to watch Taylor Hall risk life and limb on one end and not send the troops an upgrade on Chris VandeVelde on the other.
In hockey terms, it's tragic.
Roman Hamrlik's waiver moment is such a tell; the Oilers could have risked waivers on Whitney or Potter, they could have traded Peckham, hell they could have put Eager on the IR (I don't think he's right, just my opinion).
I don't recall a team with this level of Jacks and Kings (although young) who are willing to flush a season over a lack of 6′s an 7′s. The Montreal Expos used to do this, they'd have Gary Carter and Andre Dawson and Tim Raines playing at high levels and ruin the balance with Doug Flynn at second base and Dan Driessen at first base.
And you know how the story ended for the Expos? They traded Gary Carter for four 6′s.
True story.

Large Adjustable Ornament Storage Box 53 53
Not as adjustable as I thought I was going to buy the smaller ornament box version of this but figured why not get the larger one since it is "adjustable" so that I have options for different sized ornaments. Overall I was quite disappointed with this because it either fits really large ornaments (4 inches), and has very deep compartments for them, or you can make smaller openings, with ridiculously deep compartments (opening for 1.5 inch ornaments, but 6 inches deep), as that is not adjustable. So you have a lot of wasted space, or you have to wrap ornaments individually with something and stack them, which takes away from the protection. Furthermore, if you use the dividers in such a way as to create some smaller openings, you use them all up and run out. They don't provide any extra in case you are planning to take advantage of the "adjustable" option. The "foam" for protection on top is about the thickness of 5 sheets of paper. I would have returned this but I would have lost too much in shipping there and back. So I made use of it by using the trays --I do like the trays) and putting shoeboxes in them with my ornaments wrapped in tissue paper, along with the giant compartments. I got the ornaments put away, but I'll be looking elsewhere for a better option next year. This is just temporary. A shame because all they had to do was offer some dividers that make smaller, practical compartments, and allow each tray to take 2 layers/stacks with just a piece of cardboard dividing the stack (as in a box of chocolates). The overall size is large, and I wouldn't risk it and stack anything on top of it, it is not sturdy enough. I think the trays can be more useful for garlands and other holiday decorations,. January 30, 2013
Where has this been all my life?!?! I've never invested in an ornament box because the slots are one size (usuall the size of a ball, This year I went for it. I did a LOT of research. We have a LOT of ornaments of all varieties. They comprise a lot of shapes and awkward sizes. I chose this box because 1) slots are adjustable and deep; 2) the box can hold a LOT - 100's if you layer more than one in a slot; 3) the trays are independant - i.e. you can lift each tray out independantly. Many boxes have several levels but you must work your way down the box because there aren't separate SIDES to each level; and 4) dividers are durable and reinforced by ribbon. To store all my ornaments in same box, i gave up each ornaments original box since they are now safe in a compartment. You don't have to do this, but it will allow you to store more. Everything seems safe. We'll see when I take out next year. January 30, 2013
WORTH THE MONEY!! DO NOT...waist your money on the CHEAPER storage boxes...This IS the best ornament storage box to date....I've tried just about everything out there... AND.... THIS IS THE BEST It's well worth the money!!! January 29, 2013
very nice, sturdy, good quality I replaced a 25-year-old cardboard storage box, so this is definitely a step up! Easy to assemble, very nice appearance. I have only 2 caveats: it's a little pricey, so make sure you get it on sale and/or with discount codes. Also, the tray dividers could be better thought out from a best-use-of-space standpoint. In 1 configuration, if you want 4 x 4 compartments, you end up with a row of compartments on the end of the tray that are only 2" wide x 4" x 4". Worked fine for my collection of flat porcelain and brass ornaments, but not much else. I'd suggest more slots in the dividers to allow more configurations. January 29, 2013
Love it!! I am so glad I purchased this although I thought it was a little pricey therefore the four stars on the value. I like the larger compartments as it will fit larger ornaments or multiple smaller ones. It is sturdy & the cardboard separaters don't move around as in the less expensive ones you buy @ the craft stores. I also purchased the small ornament organizer & I basically use it for all of my bulbs. January 25, 2013
Excellent Storage I just packed up this box and it is great. I only have a corner tree so I was able to get everything in this one box. Tree skirt and all! January 25, 2013
Great Product This storage box is great. It is well designed and sturdy. I have previously ordered other boxes and storage items from your company in the same style and they were impressive. That is why I ordered this one as well. It has the same quality. January 25, 2013
Great quality I have bought a similar item from a very high end catalog retailer in the past. This one is much nicer. Good quality, easily adjustable compartments. I bought two and am so happy with the quality I am going to look at their other holiday storage items. January 18, 2013
So happy I bought two! I have several (5) ornament keepers from the big box stores and this one is superior in quality and capacity. I was so happy I just ordered a second one. Might order one more for future use when it goes on sale. They are a little pricy. January 18, 2013
Even better then expected I looked at ads for containers to store Christmas decorations and from the description given in Improvements ad decided to buy one from there. It arrived in great shape and I am so pleased with the strong, sturdy material it is made from. I was able to store all my tree decorations in it and all my other Christmas decorations in the house. If I find I need another container for storing things I will buy it from Improvements. January 17, 2013
Good quality, durable storage This ornament storage box is easy to put together, sturdy and reasonably light. I bought it to pack my hand-blown glass ornaments in. Just add enough tissue paper or other packing material to insure that the ornaments don't move around and the box will keep them safely stored until the next time. Even though the box is sturdy, I wouldn't suggest putting anything heavy on top of it. Holds three layers of ornaments. January 17, 2013
Product was just what we were looking for With the storage capacity of two (2) of your product we were able to eliminate five (5) older storage containers. Using your boxes will make our next Christmas tree decorating quick and easy. I would recommend this product. January 15, 2013
Exactly what I was searching for I am very pleased with this storage box. It has the adjustable compartments and stores all of the special Christmas ornaments that have been collected over the years. Thanks MPROVEMENTS for a great product. I am ordering a second box to store our nativity pieces. This box will protect each piece and will be much easier to handle than the current storage box. January 12, 2013
Large Adjustable Ornament Storage Box This is a top quality item and wonderful for the larger ornament balls. I have other large ornaments that do not fit in the 4 inch compartments so what I'm doing is devoting one level of the 3 to storing these odd shapes. I have 2 trees and I really like the window on the outside of the box to write which tree the enclosed ornaments go to. The ornament compartments are strong and sturdy and you can take a tray to the tree and take the ornaments directly out of the compartments and place them on the tree. All sides to the compartments are enclosed so none of your ornaments will roll off. This is just a great product and thank you Improvements for carrying it. January 11, 2013
Great product Great product, sturdy and great space to hold my ornaments. January 7, 2013
Great Storage Container This is an excellent product to store Christmas ornaments. It is extremely durable and should last for years. The adjustable compartments allow for any size ornaments to be stored. For my wooden and plastic ornaments I was able to store multiple ones in one compartment easily. This allowed me to organize my ornaments quickly. I am very happy with my purchase. January 4, 2013
Worth every penny and the some! So happy with finally investing in a nice piece of ornament storage. Way better than having lots of little boxes here and there. It will definitely make for an easier time both decorating the tree and then packing it away for years to come. Great for keeping your special treasures safe and organized. As they say- you get what you pay for. This is a thousand times better than the cheap storage you will find in other stores with the plastic tubs and slotted dividers- yuck! January 3, 2013
pretty good I like the storage container. It seems like it will hold up nicely. January 1, 2013
Great product Great product and price. Flexible for all size ornaments. December 19, 2012
