As Saab closes up its latest chapter, which included bankruptcy and many months or "We're sold, wait, no we're not" turmoil, we were left wondering what happened to the 900 (ish) Saabs that got held up at port whenever the failed car company filed for bankruptcy. Well, now that Saab has been liquidated to the point that only the 900 cars remain, we now have an idea what's going on with them.
According to reports, all 900 cars will be auctioned off to varying companies and exporters. Only 300 of these leftover Saabs will make their way into dealerships and the dealers have the option to either put them up for sale at a 30- to 50-percent discount and sell them or strip them down for parts. Obviously the most profitable game would be to strip them down, but it may take a while to sell off all of the parts. So we may be in for some super-cheap Saabs hitting what remaining Saab dealers there are.
The majority of the leftover Saabs will be auctioned to exporters and rental companies. So, for an American to snag up one of these Saabs he has to either find a dealership close enough that actually wants more stock on its lot or pick one up after the rental car company is done with it – AKA after it has been thrashed to within an inch of its life. Who buys a used rental car anyways?
According to the inventory report, there are 67 company cars, which include a 1960 Quantum IV and a `70 Sonnett III, over 450 9-5 s, 400 9-3 sedans, 60 9-3 wagons, 12 9-3 convertibles and 28 9-4X crossovers.
So thus closes another part of the Saab saga. Now we just have to see what NEVS can do with the bankrupt Swedish automaker.

Who Is Affected by Sinusitis
Who Is Affected by Sinusitis
Viral sinusitis is extremely common. The exact number of cases is very difficult to estimate, because many cases are not reported to doctors and because doctors do not all define the illness the same way.
In the United States, about 24 million people (about 8% of the population) are thought to get sinusitis each year. Sinusitis occurs in people of all ages and affects males and females about equally.1
Sinusitis sometimes develops after a common cold. In the U.S., children get about 6 to 8 colds a year. Adults get an average of 2 to 3 colds a year. Less than 2 out of 100 colds will develop into sinusitis.2
People develop sinusitis more often in the fall, winter, and spring. Sinusitis occurs more commonly in the midwestern and southern regions of the United States.
Although not a serious health problem, sinusitis leads to a high number of doctor visits, missed school and work days, and antibiotic prescriptions, all of which result in high medical costs. Prompt and appropriate treatment of colds and early sinus infections may help avoid complications, long-term (chronic) problems, and the costs that come with them.

Refinery Status: ExxonMobil Montana Refinery Fire Has Little Impact
The following table lists unplanned and planned production outages at U.S.
refineries as reported by Dow Jones Newswires. The information is compiled from
both official and unofficial refining sources and doesn't purport to be a
comprehensive list.
A Mar. 25 fire at ExxonMobil's 60,000 barrel-a-day refinery in Billings,
Montana refinery was extinguished in a couple of hours and no injuries were
associated with the incident, according to company spokeswoman Rachael Moore.
Production wasn't significantly affected, Moore said.
A planned flaring even is scheduled to take place from Mar. 26 through Mar.
29, at BP's 265,000 barrel-a-day refinery in Carson, Calif., according to the
South Coast Air Quality Management District. It wasn't know whether the flaring
was related to the current maintenance being performed on a crude and coker unit
at the facility.
Tesoro's 100,000 barrel-a-day refinery in Wilmington, Calif., submitted a
planned flare event notice to the South Coast Air Quality Management District,
running from the morning of Mar. 25 throuth Mar. 27, according to Tesoro
spokeswoman Tina Barbee. The flaring is associated with unspecified planned
maintenance, Barbee said.
A coker at Flint Hills Resources 290,000 barrel-a-day refinery in Corpus
Christi, Tx., was taken out of service on Mar. 23, to repair a heat exchanger at
the west plant,according to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. In
addition, an attempted alkylation unit restart was aborted.
A fluid catalytic cracker, hydrocracker and hydrotreater are in restart mode
at Motiva's 285,000 barrel-a-day refinery in Port Arthur, Tx., following an
outage caused by an electrical storm on Tuesday.
A fluid Catalytic Cracker at ConocoPhillip's 146,000 barrel-a-day refinery in
Borger, Tx., was shut early Mar. 20 for repairs, according to the Texas
Commission On Environmental Quality. A catalyst leak was responsible for the
shut down and the unit is expected to re-start late Mar. 21.
A boiler was shut and flaring ensued for three hours on Mar. 19, at a 67,000
barrel-a-day refinery owned and operated by Alon Israel Oil Company LTD in Big
Spring, Texas, according to a Hazardous Materials Spill Report.
A unit at BP's 405,000 barrel-a-day refinery in Whiting, Indiana, was briefly
taken off line Mar. 19, according to a filing with the U.S. National Response
Center. The incident caused excess release of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen
sulfide, but was of no force or effect, according to BP spokesman, Scott Dean.
BP will initiate planned flaring at it's 265,000 barrel-a-day refinery in
Carson, Calif., from Mar. 18 through Mar. 20. In addition a large amount of
hydrogen sulfide has been released due to a leaking valve, according to the
South Coast Air Quality Management District. The crude and coker units taken
down for maintenance on Mar. 13, are expected to be back on line Apr. 15.
The 58,000 barrel-a-day Delek Refinery in Tyler, Tx., owned and operated by
Delek Group LTD, experieneced a mechanical failure at the fluid catalytic
cracking regenerator on Mar. 16. The event caused excess emissions through Mar.
18, according to the Texas Commission On Environmental Quality.
A Mar. 16 fire in a desulfurization unit heater at the 210,000 barrel-a-day
Delaware City Refining Company in Delaware City caused the release of sulfur
dioxide, according to the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and
Environmental Control.
Substantial flaring was evident on Mar. 16 at ConocoPhillip's 120,000 barrel-
a-day refinery in Rodeo, Calif., according to a California Hazardous Materials
Report. Off and on again flaring has been seen at the refinery since Mar. 14.
A steam leak in a light olefins unit at the Flint Hills Resources Port Arthur,
Tx., facility was still evident on Mar. 16, acording to the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality. The initial leak was discovered Feb. 16. Repair should be
completed by Mar. 23.
A planned flaring event is taking place at Tesoro's 110,000 barrel-a-day
refinery in Wilmington, Calif., from Mar. 18 through Mar. 19, according to the
South Coast Air Quality Management District. No firm indication was given as to
which units will be affected.
Sunoco reported flaring at a large hydrotreater in it's Point Breeze section
of the 335,000 barrel-a-day refinery in Philadelphia on Mar. 16. The duration of
the flaring wasn't known.
Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) on March 12 shut a gas compressor unit at a catalytic
hydrodesulfurization unit at its Joliet refinery in Channahon, Ill.
BP PLC's (BP, BP.LN) Carson, Calif., will begin planned maintenance at a CDU
on March 13, a person familiar with the plant said on March 12. Flaring and
emissions are expected between March 13 and 26, a filing to state environmental
regulators said.
Sunoco Inc. (SUN) shut the 231 hydrotreater and associated compressor in the
Girard Point section of its Philadelphia refining complex for maintenance on
March 7, according to a notification to Philadelphia environmental regulators
made public on March 23. The filing didn't specify whether the shutdown was
planned or unplanned or how long the maintenance would last.
ConocoPhillips (COP) said flaring and emissions occurred on March 11 during a
shutdown for annual turnaround maintenance at its oil refinery in Ferndale,
Washington, according to a filing to the National Response Center. The report
didn't specify what unit, or units, will be involved in the turnaround, and
ConocoPhillips only confirmed that work is under way. Traders doing business in
the region said the maintenance is expected to last five to six weeks.

Why is someone a "conspiracy theorist" merely because they question the government account of something? Isn't that plain old skepticism?
Skepticism is supposed to involve objectively questioning claims based on evidence. Why then is someone called a conspiracy theorist when they merely question a government's extraordinary claim which is seriously lacking in evidence?

Lawren Jones 30+Aug 1 2013: No, it is not plain old skepticism. Conspiracy theorists are wildly misguided.
Think of all the damaging political scandals that those involved would have liked to keep secret, if they could have. Here's an incomplete list of those in the United States:
These involved only a few or a few dozen people over a singular event, and couldn't be kept secret. But conspiracy theorists would have us believe in plots ranging far and wide, involving hundreds or thousands of people across multiple organizations, all with the flawless secrecy of the Illuminati. And yet not one person breaks the silence or produces a shred of evidence. That's the difference between a conspiracy theorist and a simple skeptic.

Research & Development: The Science of Innovation
Economic vitality and social well-being depend upon affordable, safe and reliable energy. In today's world, the energy we use and the ways we use it are changing. For California to make the leap from the status quo to achieving climate and energy goals at the lowest possible cost, we need much more energy innovation. Rigorous, public and impartial research and development (R&D) investments strategically diversify California's energy portfolio and move innovations through the pipeline from concept to market. Energy Commission R&D innovations advance the frontiers of science and technology to make California's energy safer, more reliable and less costly.
Discover Energy Commission innovation: An overview of what we do and why it matters
Energy Commission R&D Programs
The Energy Commission administers several R&D programs that drive innovation and advance science and technology in the fields of energy efficiency, renewable energy and advanced clean generation, energy-related environmental protection, energy transmission and distribution, and transportation. The new Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) program invests in improvements to the state's electricity systems. The Natural Gas Research, Development and Demonstration program invests in improvements to California's natural gas systems. The Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Electric program will no longer fund new R&D though existing projects will continue through 2015.
EPIC: California's Investment in the 21st Century Electric Grid
EPIC is a new R&D program that replaces the ended Public Goods Charge's R&D program funding. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) created EPIC, selected the Energy Commission as one of the four administrators of EPIC funds, and approved the first triennial investment plans for EPIC expenditures on November 14, 2013. The three other administrators are Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE), and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E). EPIC will fund innovative technologies, tools and approaches that provide benefits to electric ratepayers in PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E service territories through greater reliability, lower costs, increased safety, and enhanced environmental sustainability. Providing benefits to these ratepayers is the primary goal because EPIC funds come from them.
EPIC is the most comprehensive statewide approach to creating new energy solutions, fostering regional innovation and bringing ideas to the marketplace. EPIC consolidates the R&D initiatives of the three largest investor-owned utility service areas into an aggregate program, which ensures no duplication in spending and also implements compliance with state energy policies. Under this program, Energy Commission electricity R&D will move energy technologies and products from the lab to life, make our electricity system safer and more reliable, lower costs and give ratepayers choices and control. Find more information about the creation of EPIC. Read our first Triennial Investment Plan.
A schedule of future planned funding opportunities for this program is available, and the Energy Commission will begin issuing solicitations shortly
The Vision for the Future
A vision for 2020 and beyond underlies the Energy Commission's investments of EPIC funds. The vision aligns proposed research, demonstration and deployment activities with the state's energy policies and aligns with major elements of California's investor-owned utilities' plans.
Energy Commission R&D under EPIC will help further advancements including:
- A modern, flexible, technologically advanced electricity grid that is safer, is more reliable and gives ratepayers the ability to better control energy use
- Highly efficient and zero-net-energy buildings with energy systems that are integrated with advanced communications capabilities
- A better consumer energy experience built around choice made possible by better visualization tools, sophisticated and customer-friendly control options and seamless integration of renewables at customers' homes and businesses
- A cleaner energy generation process using more diverse fuel sources and reduced environmental impacts
- A transportation system that increasingly uses electricity and has a pathway to enable 1.5 million plug-in electric vehicles by 2025 and make electric vehicles more cost-effective and environmentally friendly for California consumers
The Energy R&D Division
The California Energy Commission's Energy R&D Division is composed of engineers, scientists and administrative and management professionals who collectively lead California's public interest energy research programs. The division collaborates with utilities, businesses, agencies, and local governments to create an action-oriented nexus for energy improvements. The division shares results of research publicly, invests in California and continually works to strengthen the innovation pipeline that brings research from the lab to life.

1997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse
Cocaine Use, by Age Group, Race/Ethnicity, and Gender (Table 4.5)
For lifetime and past year prevalence, white males reported some of the highest rates of cocaine use. The highest rates of past year use were found among white and Hispanic males aged 18 to 25 and, for current use, among Hispanic males aged 18 to 25. In general, past year and past month use was most common among black females in the two older age groups and among white females in the two younger age groups; however, not all differences were statistically significant.10
10 An important caveat to these general patterns involves research that suggests that blacks tend to significantly underreport cocaine use. Potential underreporting by black respondents has important implications for the racial/ethnic comparisons described here (Fendrich & Vaughn, 1994; Research Triangle Institute, 1993).

The Iris Power MDSP3 is a portable instrument specifically designed to monitor squirrel-cage induction motors. The Iris Power MDSP3 detects rotor cage winding faults i.e. broken rotor bars, cracked shorting rings, die-cast manufacturing faults, and unequal air gaps as they are the causes of many mechanical and electrical failure mechanisms in induction motors. The Iris Power MDSP3 uses the Current Signature Analysis technology which relies on the concept that faults in the induction motor rotor or driven components result in changes to the rotor magnetic field pattern. Unique magnetic rotating fields are produced due to the faults which induce detectable stator current components indicative of the fault.
The International Electrical Testing Association- NETA awarded Vicki Warren of Iris Power the Alliance Recognition Award for outstanding Alliance member of the year. NETA board member James Cialdea, P.E., Chief Executive Officer of Three-C Electrical, presented the award.

Babysitting: Dealing With Choking
Teens > Babysitting Center > First Aid and Emergencies > Babysitting: Dealing With Choking
Choking can be a life-threatening emergency.
Kids might be choking if they:
- gasp for air
- cannot talk, cry, or make noise
- turn blue in the face
- wave their arms and seem panicky
What to Do
If you think a child is choking:
- Call 911 or have someone else call.
- If you are trained, perform the Heimlich maneuver immediately. If you are not trained in the Heimlich maneuver, wait for medical care to arrive.
If a child starts choking and becomes unconscious and stops breathing:
- Call 911 immediately.
- Start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately. If you are not trained in CPR, wait for emergency medical care.
- Do not pat the child on the back.
- Do not reach into a child's mouth to try to remove the object.
If a child is able to breathe and talk while gagging or coughing, then the airway is not blocked. Keep an eye on the child if this happens — most likely, he or she is having a coughing attack and will be fine afterward.
If a child had a serious choking attack and has difficulty breathing or speaking, call 911 immediately. After you call 911, call the child's parents.
Preventing choking is much easier than treating it. To help prevent choking:
- Never feed kids younger than 4 years old foods that are easy to choke on, such as nuts, raw carrots or celery, popcorn, fruits with pits or seeds (like cherries), and hard or gooey candy. Cut foods like hot dogs and grapes into small pieces.
- Make sure that kids sit down to eat, take small bites, and don't talk or laugh with their mouths full while eating.
- In a house with babies and toddlers, pick up items that might be dangerous if swallowed and put them out of the child's reach. These include deflated balloons, coins, beads, pen caps, and batteries. Keep toys or gadgets with small parts out of reach.

The Triumph Daytona 675 was always a lonely wolf, but German company Six Monkeys did their best in coming up with a big brother for the only supersport model of the British motorcycle manufacturer. They brought in a 1050cc engine and then tuned the fuel injection system and the airbox so that they can talk big numbers such as 139bhp at 9,100rpm and 116Nm of torque at 7,600rpm.
While we're talking about the same powerplant as found on the Triumph Tiger and Speed Triple models, this bike's carbon fiber bodywork is entirely new and the overall shape and style does remind us of the middleweight production Daytona. Also, this custom motorcycle features Wilbers suspension components and steering damper, while the exhaust system was supplied by BOS and the tires are Dunlop Qualifier RR.
Does this look like a Triumph Daytona 675 on steroids or what? I'm not sure about the color though.

All that jazz
Rob Gibson has built a career around the love of music he developed while at UGA
Thursday night, a quarter to 10 and the Red Stick Ramblers are gearing up for their second show of the night, another 90 minutes of foot-stomping, hand-clapping, Cajun dance music. Outside the Charles H. Morris Center, where the show is scheduled, a man in a suit and tie pulls up on a bicycle, reflectors flashing in the glow of the streetlights. Rob Gibson (AB '81) dismounts and greets guests who mingle in an adjacent tent, picking up tickets or sipping wine. Then, as quickly as he arrived, he zips away again—this time headed home to change into a more comfortable pair of slacks and sweater. Fifteen minutes later, he walks onto the stage, welcomes the crowd to the seventh different concert that day, and then joins them to enjoy the performance. Day eight of the Savannah Music Festival is drawing to a close. Nine to go.
Gibson is the wizard behind the curtain at the festival, responsible for the 86 performances that will draw more than 61,000 people over a nearly three-week period. Begun as small series of concerts across 10 days, it is now the state's largest musical arts event and has become a nationally recognized festival, drawing international artists and guests. The 2008 edition, which ran from March 19 to April 5, was the biggest yet, generating $876,000 in ticket sales, a 16 percent increase over the previous year. Timed to coincide with Savannah's prestigious Tour of Homes, the festival is credited with generating an additional $25 million for the local economy.
"The connection between art and commerce is healthy for both this community and our culture at large," Gibson says.
Originally called Savannah Onstage International Arts Festival, the event focused on classical music and featured a singing competition. Much smaller, it operated on a budget of $600,000 to $700,000 a year and was held primarily in local churches. When Gibson arrived in 2002, the program had a five member staff and a six-figure debt.
"I figured it would take three to five years to turn it around," he says. He began working the local community and finding corporate sponsors to invest in the program. He sought artists, and audiences, attempting to offer a little something for everyone. The new SMF debuted in 2003 with about 30 concerts, featuring The Blind Boys of Alabama, a special production of Porgy and Bess, and Wycliffe Gordon. Each year since, it has grown a little more, hosting acts such as Buddy Guy, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Emmylou Harris, Ricky Skaggs, and a wealth of original classical and jazz music productions.
Although he added events, Gibson stayed true to the festival's longest running program: a singing competition celebrating musical traditions of historical significance to the United States. Called the American Traditions Competition, it draws vocalists from across the country. Thirty-two singers competed this year for a top prize of $10,000.
The competition's semifinal rounds begin on a Saturday morning in Trinity United Methodist Church. Shirley Crabbe takes the stage and wows the audience with show tunes, including George and Ira Gershwin's "Someone to Watch Over Me."
Later, Josef Spencer delights the audience with Savannah native Johnny Mercer's "Save the Bones for Henry Jones."
"Henry don't eat no meat," the tenor croons in a jazzy upbeat style. A true showman, he grins slyly at the audience as he sings. "He don't need no napkins 'cause the things that he eat don't drip."
A few blocks away, 2,500 schoolchildren from the Savannah area also are enjoying the SMF. As they file into the Johnny Mercer Theater, members of the Tales and Scales traveling ensemble demonstrate their instruments.
Ja'Kayla Chargois is fascinated by the bass trombone, which is a bit bigger than a regular trombone with a lower tone.
"We like the sound of that," says Ja'Kayla, a kindergartner from Liberty Elementary School in Midway, about 30 miles from Savannah.
"It sounds like a jet airplane," classmate Benjamin Taylor says.
The sounds of the instruments—a clarinet, flute, trombone and tambourine—resonate through the cavernous theater, creating a cacophony that delights the children.
"This is a good experience for them," says Richmond Hill Primary School teacher Cindy Bosela, who chaperoned kindergartners wearing lime green T-shirts. "It's something some of the kids would never see in a lifetime."
Education is a big part of the SMF mission, Gibson says, and a priority of the festival. Youth concerts bring in roughly 20,000 school children from Georgia and South Carolina during the course of the festival. Gibson recalls his experience as a child going with his fourth grade class to hear the Atlanta Symphony. The orchestra played the "William Tell Overture," and he was mesmerized.
"That adventure has stayed with me for 40 years," he says. "Live musical experiences are still an indispensable part of the educational process for children."
Though his mother taught piano, music was no more a part of his childhood than most kids, Gibson says. His parents made him learn to play the piano, but didn't dictate his music taste. He grew up hearing Led Zeppelin, the Allman Brothers and James Brown. Jazz didn't really become a part of his consciousness, he says, until he got to UGA in the late 1970s. He took a job at WUOG and began listening to Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. As program director for the station in 1979-80, he scheduled an eclectic assortment of music, including weekly broadcasts by The Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic, as well as jazz, blues, reggae, punk and bluegrass.
"Our philosophy," he says of WUOG, "was all of the people, some of the time."
While the station and music were a big part of his life in those years, he didn't see them as a part of his future career. A business major when he arrived at UGA, he abandoned that after taking a course in accounting. He switched to journalism/telecommunications, but felt like much of what was being taught there he had previously learned.
"My parents said, 'What do you want to do?'" he recalls. "I said, 'I don't know. Maybe go to law school?'"
"They said, 'What about political science?'"
He graduated in 1981 with a bachelor's degree in political science. He currently serves on the advisory boards for UGA Libraries and the music business certificate program.
"If somebody had told me in college I'd be producing performing arts events, I would have thought it was a great idea," Gibson says. "To me, life was too short to not enjoy what you do."
Gibson's music career began shortly after he graduated from UGA. From 1981 to 1983, he was general manager and program director for WFRG-FM radio in Atlanta. In 1984, he founded Quantum Productions, a nonprofit arts organization in Atlanta that presented music, dance and film productions. In 1988, he also became director of the Atlanta Jazz Festival and Montreux Atlanta International Music Festival. He made his biggest splash in 1991, when he was hired to create and direct a jazz program at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.
Jazz at Lincoln Center was to be the first new constituent of the center in more than 20 years, and the only uniquely American art form, alongside such organizations as The Metropolitan Opera and the New York City Ballet. Gibson's vision, in addition to showcasing jazz concerts, was to offer educational programs, films and lectures on the history of jazz and to make the music accessible to children. "One thing that's always miffed me about New York being the jazz capital of the world is that in many of the places you can go hear jazz, it's illegal for children to go," he told The New York Times in a 1991 front-page story that hangs framed in his Savannah office.
Over the next 10 years, Gibson, in partnership with artistic director Wynton Marsalis, created the world's largest jazz organization, with more than 450 programs a year including performances, touring programs, lectures, broadcasts, CDs, DVDs and a wealth of educational endeavors.
A weekly National Public Radio program, "Jazz From Lincoln Center," won a prestigious George Foster Peabody Award for Gibson and Marsalis in 1998.
That same year, New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani selected Jazz at Lincoln Center as the cultural organization to build its new home in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. Gibson and Marsalis began planning what would become a $128 million state of the art facility. Fredrick P. Rose Hall opened in fall 2004.
During that time, Gibson also taught American music history at The Juilliard School, one of the Lincoln Center constituents he helped to develop.
After 12 years, Gibson left New York and moved his family back to their native Georgia. "My job became more about politics and less about music," he explains.
Georgia music lovers are glad he's back.
"Rob now infuses his vast knowledge of world music into the Savannah Music Festival and Georgians again benefit directly from his contribution," says John English, a professor emeritus of journalism, who knew Gibson as an undergraduate. English and his wife Karen Smith (MS '84, PhD '86) drove from Athens to attend the festival this year. "I'm delighted he brought his expertise back to the state."
It's near the end of day nine of the festival, and Spanish singer Antonio Pitingo is onstage at the Morris Center, delighting the audience with his flamenco soul rendition of "Georgia on My Mind." The Modern Skirts will follow with a rocking midnight performance. Gibson is in the back, a beer in hand, and leans against the wall taking it in. For him, this is what it's all about.
"Our basic job is to connect audiences and artists," he says. "When they come together, it can be a powerful experience."

Staying up late watching the World Cup 2014 no less complete without complementary foods, but not all foods can be a distraction. Some food ingredients proved to have effects that are bad for the body if used as a distraction night.
Foods like chips and other fried foods when used as a distraction will affect the increase of cholesterol in the body as claimed by Nutritionist Nutrifood, Mochamad Aldis Rusliadi, SKM. The more nights will decrease the body's metabolism so that the body does not require a lot of food intake at the time.
"Staying up late is usually the same dibarengin snacks, soft drinks rich in sugar is very high right. Besides sugar, are also high in fat such as potato chips. Increasingly night it is getting down metabolism, but this should instead foster istrihatat calories. Unused calories will be stored so fat increases the risk of obesity, "Aldis said when contacted by livescore website unogoal , as written on Sunday .
In addition Aldis also provide commentary related to food legumes are commonly used as complementary foods to stay up.
According peanut meal can be a good companion if proper processing. Many products beans that have been packaged has a high salt content which relates to hazard hypertension.
"Nuts contain unsaturated fatty acids are good for the heart. Beans were either boiled, steamed, or roasted. Sukro I do not recommend, mending existing peanut skin. Sukro If there are fried flour also make high added calories," said Aldis .
In addition to nuts, other foods can be used as a distraction while the ball is staying up late watching the fruit. Fruit is good for the body because it can lower cholesterol.
"Try to eat fruit but are low in sugar, dried fruits like raisins and dates of high sugar content. Softdrink less alone, better water. If you want to use do not use mayo salad, the dressing use non-fat yogurt or olive oil," continued Aldis provide additional suggestions.
The habit of staying up should be reduced. Aldis said staying up late is not good for the body because it reduces the body's need for rest which can lead to the degenerative diseases. Especially when staying up well interspersed with feeding activity.
"Pain is the most direct effect rasanyanya abdominal fullness or bad. Expires fed directly to sleep, food from the stomach into the esophagus had been able to return," added Aldis

LOS ANGELES — July 12, 2011 — More than 15,000 partners at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2011 (WPC), currently taking place in Los Angeles, have gathered to discuss business innovation and change — and, more precisely, the change that fuels progress. Much of what's being discussed this year comes in the form of cloud computing.
While businesses consider the implications and benefits of the cloud, many partners, including value-added resellers and independent software vendors (ISVs), must evolve and transform their business models to thrive among this change.
Over the past 18 years, the Minneapolis-based consulting firm PowerObjects has grown from a humble, two-person operation to a multimillion-dollar company. PowerObjects' chief operating officer, Jim Sheehan, attributes the company's prosperity to a number of factors, but one stands out in particular: "The key to our success was that we stopped being everything for everybody and focused on becoming the best at one thing," says Sheehan. "And that one thing is Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
While PowerObjects originally began working with the on-premises version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, the company has been able to successfully transition its business to reselling Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, the cloud-based solution. "By partnering with Microsoft, we have access to a flexible computing model that lets us ramp up applications that we could never have supported in our own datacenter. Our cloud practice has become a standalone business for us. Because everything happens faster in the cloud, we're able accelerate the sales process and deliver solutions at a much more rapid pace, while also having more options to solve problems for our customers," says Sheehan.
PowerObjects is one of many Microsoft partners embracing the cloud. Since the global launch of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online in January 2011, nearly 50 percent of Microsoft Dynamics CRM partners have committed to selling the online solution, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM customers are now choosing the online version instead of the on-premises option more than 50 percent of the time.
"Making sure the transition to the cloud is smooth for partners is a big priority for Microsoft," says Doug Kennedy, vice president, Microsoft Dynamics Partners. Recently, executives released the Microsoft Dynamics Cloud Partner Profitability Guide, which gives partners a 36-month roadmap for transitioning to a cloud-based business model. At WPC, an addendum will be incorporated for ISVs, which covers the considerations an ISV should make when transitioning to the cloud and includes sample pricing and licensing models to show the financial impact over a five-year period.
The cloud isn't the only change partners are embracing. In 2009, the Microsoft Business Solutions group announced changes would be made to its partner network to encourage partners to take full advantage of a steady growth in demand for vertically specific enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management solutions. These changes included new, more robust requirements for partners to achieve Gold and Silver certification and updated Microsoft Dynamics-specific training focused on marketing, sales, project management and solution delivery, in addition to existing technical training. The training is offered through the Microsoft Dynamics Partner Academy and, since July 2010, more than 3,000 partners have been trained at Partner Development Centers located around the world, with an average satisfaction score of 8.02 out of 9.
These adjustments are designed to provide partners with a sustainable model for delivering repeatable solutions to specific industries by increasing their ability to scale and helping them to be more productive.
Kennedy says the dialogue at WPC is centering on these strategies and incentives, as well as on educating partners about what's yet to be rolled out. For example, beginning Jan. 1, 2012, partners will have the opportunity to receive greater compensation for focusing on vertical specialization — they will be directly rewarded for growth, in addition to total revenue. "By helping our partners transition to a model of delivering vertical solutions, we can help them drive more demand, be more profitable and, ultimately, grow their business," Kennedy says.
Partners who have started implementing these changes are already reaping the rewards. "The more stringent requirements for Gold certification will help us differentiate ourselves in the marketplace," says Jeff Geisler, CEO of InterDyn Socius. Socius provides highly customized business management software solutions for the distribution, manufacturing, not-for-profit, professional services, and healthcare and human services industries, with locations in Ohio, Kansas City and California. "Specializing in specific industries means we're serving the client in a deeper way," says Geisler. "We now have knowledge not just of the software, but of the clients' business and messaging process. We're much more familiar with their industry as a whole." This approach has resulted in a higher win rate and a more efficient sales process.
"The new Microsoft Partner Network is about refining what Microsoft offers partners, and its program exceeds the offerings of most other vendors," says Geisler. "We believe that the Microsoft Dynamics partner program will help us continue to improve as our company grows into new areas, such as the cloud. We anticipate the cloud will be a bigger part of our business, and we're doing a lot of planning around what the cloud will mean for our clients."
For Microsoft Dynamics partners, these changes amount to new ways of looking at their business and how they're moving forward. Partners such as PowerObjects and Socius, who have embraced these changes as opportunities, are successfully growing their businesses. "When partners are growing, customers are growing and Microsoft Dynamics is growing," says Kennedy. "We're committed to fueling that growth with the right products and resources to ensure our partners are optimized for the future."

Bad news arrives on U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop's doorstep this morning, courtesy of Politico.com:
Rep. Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.) awarded three scholarships from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation to his stepdaughter and wife's niece between 2003 and 2005, according to records from the non-profit group.
Bishop is the second Democrat found to have funneled Congressional Black Caucus Foundation scholarship funds to relatives, threatening to turn the program into a larger political problem for the party. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) recently paid back $31,000 to the foundation for scholarships that she improperly awarded to various relatives and children of a top staffer.
Rep. Donald Payne (D-N.J.), chairman of the CBC Foundation, has promised an "extensive audit of the scholarship program" run by the organization.
Bishop, though, also appears to have favored family members with CBC scholarships.
In 2003, Emmaundia Whitaker, the niece of Vivian Creighton Bishop, who is Bishop's wife, was awarded an education scholarship. She was also given a similar award in 2005.
And in 2003, Aayesha Owens Reese, the congressman's stepdaughter, was granted an education scholarship as well.
The congressman's wife, is a longtime state employee in Georgia. She currently serves as clerk of the municipal court in Columbus, Georgia.
A Bishop spokesman insisted the Georgia Democrat did not violate CBC Foundation rules that were in place at that time by awarding scholarships to family members.
This comes even before many analysts, including Larry Sabato at the University of Virginia, were reevaluating Bishop's November chances. From Thursday's Crystal Ball:
After nearly two decades in Congress in a Southwest Georgia district that is nearly 50% African-American, Democrat Sanford Bishop was not exactly at the top of many Republican target lists.
Given the Republican wave that seems to be brewing, however, and the potential for a greatly diminished minority turnout in 2010, he suddenly is in a fight for his political life. State legislator Mike Keown will be the GOP standard-bearer and he should be able to keep up financially with Bishop, who had just $400,000 in the bank at the end of June.
In a midterm year, and especially this one, Bishop could be vulnerable, so we are moving this from Safe Democratic to LIKELY DEMOCRATIC.
We skipped the Mike Thurmond fundraiser on Thursday that headlined Bill Clinton, after word went out that there would be no press access to the former president's remarks. Apparently that changed at the last minute. From the Associated Press:
Clinton told the audience, which included Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed, the Rev. Joseph Lowery, and many local lawmakers and candidates, that the country was in the midst of "a crazy time."
"A lot of people are really angry, and they have reason to be," Clinton said. "But when you make an important decision in your life when you're angry, there's an 80 percent chance you'll make a mistake."
Clinton praised Congress and President Barack Obama for passing legislation on issues including the economic stimulus, health care and financial regulation, but said they have not gotten credit for their accomplishments.
"People hire us to fix things," he said. "They're not going to get credit until people feel better."
Still, Clinton said, many Americans have forgotten how the country has gotten where it is.
"They're up there in Washington, acting like the Democrats caused all these problems," he said. "They say, 'Let's throw them out again so we can get back in and do what we did before. To have an election based on anger, apathy and amnesia is nuts. But that's exactly what's going on all over America today."
The liberal group Think Progress has U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey going biblical on the Republican promise not to raise taxes on anyone – regardless of income status. From a Tuesday townhall meeting:
Said Gingrey:
I had somebody say you know a Contract with America is a little redundant, going back to 1994. And I had somebody suggest at a town hall meeting recently maybe it ought to be a "Covenant with America." Just as God's covenant with Moses, really this is a convenant. This is more of a commitment, more than a contract.
This is a pledge of your sworn sacred honor. And maybe that's the kind of thing that we need to get, to truly get attention and sign it in blood if necessary. So we think it would be not be appropriate at a time like this to raise people's taxes, at any level. At any level….

Bill Clinton: "But when you make an important decision in your life when you're angry, there's an 80 percent chance you'll make a mistake."
Like the folks who elected Obama did in 2008! Their anger at Bush resulted in a HUGE mistake.
September 10th, 2010

Bishop is a moron that keeps getting re-elected. Thanks South GA for this piece of crap.
September 10th, 2010

OMG….what shocking behavior! Seriously, is anyone surprised (or does this mean I'm a racist)? Throw the bums out.
September 10th, 2010

Exactly right, Rickster…amnesia is at epidemic proportions on the left, but it appears to be selective.
September 10th, 2010
9:51 am
@ Rickster,
That's your opinion!!!
September 10th, 2010
9:55 am
Rickster, there is a big difference between this upcoming "anger" election and the "hope" election of 2008. While the country was indeed torn apart by Bush's failures (as you point out), most people really liked Obama and he had high ratings. New voters came out to vote "for" someone.
This upcoming election is all about throwing people out of office… big difference. We are about to elect a GOP majority that has a historic low rating. If that happens, it will be very interesting to see if these Republicans can actually govern. Since they failed miserably when they had the majority just a few years ago, and have done nothing at all to help govern over the past couple of years, I don't have very high expectations.
September 10th, 2010
9:59 am
I would have no problem voting these Democrats out of office… if they weren't going to be replaced by Republicans!
September 10th, 2010
10:05 am
Has the White Caucus done anything like this?
September 10th, 2010
10:05 am
No the up coming election is about regaining our Nation back from these progressive liberal perverted democrat racist. The entire democratic party is full of corruption and greed. The democrats are pro homosexual perverted behavior and anti-GOD,anti-Constutition. They speak only for the best interest for their elite members and hate the honest GOD fearing hard working midclass Americans. Example their wonder boy and girl Bill and Hillary. Two of the most corrupt lying democratic politicians in all of American History. VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET in November. Obama is nothing but a disgrace to all Americans for his failed socialist policies and corrupt politics.
September 10th, 2010

Shameful, just shameful.
September 10th, 2010
10:11 am
WOW, Dude! You're so insightful! Tell us, then. How bad was it… how inexcusably, deplorably AWFUL did the Republicans have to behave in order make the majority of American voters do something so unthinkable as to vote for that "disgrace?" MAN, is there even a measurement for something that awful? Good LORD, what will we do now that we have to choose between the current liberal perversions and something SO EFFED UP that it made electing these liberal perversions possible in the first place? Man, will you just have to shoot yourself before November? (Feel free, if you think it will help.)

Bishop has always been crooked. He gets elected because of the large black vote in Albany,Terrell county,Baker county and Calhoun county.Will win again unless there is a reason for the black voters to stay home.No wonder our country is in mess!

10:29 am
I don't care if they are Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, they ALL abuse power, what's new? Its time for ALL voters to decide who is less a crook & more interested in turning this Country around & getting the MAJORITY of Americans out of this Bush@t! If some voters would get pass the color of skin & try to work with OUR President, maybe we can get some things done to improve America for the MAJORITY. The Majority are hardworking Americans that aren't wealthy & are trying their best to stay above water. It has NOTHING to do with skin color, its about turning this country around. As for those Republican haters, if you were in Pres. Obama's shoes, would you do any better or would you continue to look out for the wealthy & leave the middle class & lower income Americans to figure out how they can get out of this Bush mess. Pres. Obama has done a lot of IMPROVEMENTS since he took office e.g. trying to help people save their homes, healthcare, refinancing of large mortgages & last time I checked it was for people, not people of any particular color. I know since he has been in office I have seen improvement & also been effected by improvement for hardworking Americans!
September 10th, 2010
10:30 am
Devildog, I don't believe the White Caucus has done anything like that. I will research it for you, though, after the White Miss America Pageant is over. I do have to attend a NAAWP meeting this afternoon or I'd have the answer for you sooner.

What else is new? As we have witness over the months and years; we continue to see how elected officials dip into dirty dealings. Unethical yes it is and we are seeing just how these people take and dispurse funding to people that are not rightfully entitled to it! Money has cause the people in elected position to turn to crime; and, it is not stopping at any of their doorsteps, rather, it is running very wide and tax payers dollars are used for the sake of them getting ahead or someone they know. It is a sad time here in this country we called America, where we are suppose to be eyes and ears of those who have elected us into congress to serve. We are in a bad, bad shape to be looked upon as leaders for the world to see. I am deeply ashamed at our elected Congressmen and Representatives for treating its people the way they are being treated! Millionaries serving in our congress and representatives and yet, fail to give its own citizens here in the United States financial help during this economy; but they steal, cheat and send billions of dollars everywhere else….except right here in our own country. Its time we seek a change in both the Senate and the Representative.

Cam Winston- If you think the GOP was a success when they were last in office, then I don't know what to say to you. Even current Republican leaders admit their failures.
September 10th, 2010
10:35 am
I will, just as soon as you answer my first three questions. (The fourth was rhetorical, and none of my business.) You should be able to answer the questions at 10:11; if you can't, then your 10:05 makes no sense.
September 10th, 2010
10:37 am
\\\ If you think the GOP was a success when they were last in office, \\\
They were horrible spendthrift Democrat-lites who deserved to be ousted.
Sadly, by comparison to what's going on now, they were downright…..frugal.
What an amazing statement THAT is.
September 10th, 2010
10:40 am
To Worst President Ever- I agree that Bush was the worst, but we need to get beyond that.
Devildog- It's easy to check up on what the White Caucus is up to. It's called the United States Senate (minus one but soon to be 100% white again).
Truthbe- Your rantings are why normal people have hold their nose when we occasionally vote for Republicans. I worry that too many like yourself dominate the GOP.
September 10th, 2010
10:42 am
Politicians HAVE ALWAYS ABUSE POWER, Obama far worst then President Bush ever was. Obama has wasted and spend more money than any other President in history or the entire world. President Bush wasn't a socialist racist progressive Chicago thug either. Hey have you heard President Obama is the first "Black President" and he's the "First Muslim President" too. WOW!!!!!! Maybe he's giving away free scholarships to his Kenya family and friends in the tribe.

10:48 am
GeorgiaBoy – I speak in the present tense when referring to the worst president ever. It's been two years – stop blaming the past for the screw-ups of the present. I'll bet you still have Al Gore and John Kerry stickers on your car.
September 10th, 2010
10:51 am
When are we going to quit blaming Bush and put the blame where it belongs, on the Democrats. Doesn't anyone realize Bush could only do as much as the Congress and House of Representatives allowed him to do and both houses have been ran by Democrats for 4 years and now a Democrat President for two years. When are the Republicans and Libertarians going to Wake up and vote the bums out that put us in this mess. Isn't there another Ronald Reagan out there to rise up and run for office. He Cut taxes and made government smaller and yet we prospered more than we ever had. Get over it Obama lovers and Bush haters, it is the Democratic we need to be blaming!!!!
September 10th, 2010
10:53 am
I have voted against this slug every time he has been on the ballot. He is a slug in need of some salt. In November I will again vote against Bishop. Maybe with the Dim-o-crat apathy this year it will happen.
September 10th, 2010
11:01 am
this period in history reminds me of the reconstruction. bishop did what most politicians, clergy, bureaucrats and lay persons do. when they are the position to hand out money, albeit scholarships, grants, what have you. they look out for their own. everyone does this, we wish that we were a part of a society that gave the funding based on merit. but if you as an individual have the opportunity to save money that woudl be coming out of your pocket, and you were privy to a mechanism that did that, you'd do it also. white people have regressed to the point that they are threatened by the current political slant, they are just like their ancestors after reconstruction. they are doing some serious finger pointing at black politicians to get them out of their seats of power. obama, bishop and a host of other black politicians will be replaced and white people will be more comfortable going down the drain with their white counterparts. they managed to elect a "c" student to two terms in the white house and are attempting to follow that up by electing an idiot former governor of alaska. why? because they are more comfortable. as long as racist like galloway, limbaugh and fox can feed the fire it will always be like this.

Just another example of the entitlement mentality that pervades the african-american community and politics in general, in Georgia. No surprises here.

If George W. Bush had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?
If George W. Bush joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on?
If George W. Bush had put 87000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one company had an accident would you have agreed?
If George W. Bush had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him?
If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a TelePrompTer installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, would you have said that he is clueless?
If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in Texas, would you have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk.
If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
If George W. Bush had misspelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoes as proof of what a dunce he is?
If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?
If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?
If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 20 months — so you'll have two years and 4 months to come up with an answer.
Every statement is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

Re Bishop scholarships. Everyone is missing the point. Please tell me WHY the Congressioanl Black Caucus can give out our tax dollars to black kids. WHY? Anyone see racial bias? When will all this entitlement stuff end? Who will decalre some day that we have spend enough time and money toward racial equality. Come on folks there are some out there that will never be a contributing part of society as long as they get handouts and will bellyache when they are cut.

Sanford Bishop has always been crooked. For a long time, I thought he was Republican because he is so crooked (see Saxby as an example).

You go, Matt D. How insightful—and true. WHEN are the people going to wise up. And I am a registered Democrat! (But, being so, I refuse to drink the party's Kool-Aid).
September 10th, 2010
12:34 pm
Thanks, Jim, for posting the Sanford Bishop news. Though cronyism and graft aren't new, it is news when it is so clearly disclosed, especially with a sitting congressman campaigning for reelection. Big question: why isn't it on the front page, above the fold, on the AJC? Will it be tomorrow?
September 10th, 2010
1:07 pm
T Man – "Who will decalre some day that we have spend enough time and money toward racial equality."
No one will ever say that. What is more likely to happen is that there will finally be no more money to fund entitlements. When that happens, people who have always voted for a living will revolt. They have always lived on money provided by the producers through the government. Left with little or no education or skills, they will be ill-equipped to fend for themselves. What we see now in other parts of the world will happen here. Not a pretty picture, is it?
September 10th, 2010
1:13 pm
Barb Lucas – I wasn't particularly an avid Bush fan. I thought that he allowed the spending of too much money and I don't remember him ever using the veto power of the President. I have just grown very weary of the "Blame Bush" doctrine. Most of the financial problems facing this country have their roots with FDR, Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter.
September 10th, 2010
1:15 pm
I have always voted for Bishop but it is now time for him to go. How many other things do we not know about? Don't you just love Bill? He still thinks that just because he says something that makes it true. "I did not have sex with that woman." Remember where that got us?
September 10th, 2010
1:20 pm
Heres the problem. These are not democrates, they are liberals running in the Democratic party. They simply dont care about the american people no matter what the party. They have turned on all of us and have their own adjenda. The democrates really need to take a look at their voting records and realize that this does affect them and their family and future family. If we dont all stand together as american people in the greatest nation on earth, then we will be standing together in poverty and it wont look good for our kids and grandkids at all. It will look like the third world nations and if your not on the national payroll you wont have anything, including food. Take a look and then think, will you be on the government payroll. I simply dont think so. Either will I.
By the way, all the blacks that just love and honor Dr. Martin Luther King and rant over his "I have a dream" speach. He was a REPUBLICAN. Look it up and then practice what you love. Vote these Liberals right out of office before they tear this country up and we just cant right the wrong.

Sanford Bishop does nothing for south Georgia, there are still dirt roads in south Georgia, he gives grants to retired teachers who fix up and remodel their homes. There are thousands of needy children in these poor districts. He does nothing to help ! I hope he is out . What does it take ? He and his wife are crooks !!!
September 10th, 2010
1:51 pm
I am so glad this was reported. Now you can also report on the governor's Go Fish project he got through this state's repub legislature. You remember the one project if I understand correctly sits adjacent to his property in middle Georgia. Or how he made suggestions where a state road runs next to his property. Or please provide the populus information what the ethics investigation of governor candidate Deal was all about. Since you are doing such a brilliant job of reporting lets get all the facts out. Let's be fair and balanced about it all.
