I for example love my V-8 and I don't really mod cars any longer because my wife drives my car now and I found that in MY experience in the PAST that mods I made to my cars usually ended up making the car super fun, but more trouble, more things went wrong and more money ended up getting spent, usually for pretty marginal returns in HP and Torque. This is MY experience and it was in the past.
I do not have a N54 or N55 motor but as I said in another response, I have driven many of them, modded and not. They're great motors! They can be fast as hell and are real smooth and torquey across the band but especially at low rpm's! They can blow the doors off a stock 550i with upping the psi. Thats awesome. For my money and the way I drive and who I share my car with and my lack of wanting to do too many mods and for what its worth, my desire to keep a car somewhat close to what it was sent off the line to be, I like my 550i with a handful of little things done to it.
I don't disagree with what you're saying or with what the link says or that many BMWs are now force-fed, or that all M power plants are now force-fed or that more and more each year across all brands are, etc. etc. etc. I'm simply saying, and I'm not alone here, that I like BMW's NA V-8 over the twin turbo'd straight 6 in a close to stock car. Read the forums of M5 owners, I'll be the first to say the new M5 is SICK!!! But there are a lot of dudes out there with the past 2 generations' saying its a travesty to lower the displacement and put twin turbos on an M5. Read the M3 forums, people are sick that the new M3 will have turbos too and no longer be NA. Maybe 20 years from now we'll all eat our words but everyone is allowed their own opinion and thats really the whole point of the post.
People, make up your own minds and don't hate on people that have a differing view.
I Do agree with you, it's one's preference.
Let me give you an example, people bring new releases on products based on the market/demand/value/customer's satisfaction... Every product when released will have a lot of expectations and customers like us are skeptical with the new change that is coming in....
So all those M5/M3 owners have liked the V8/V10 power and now when they hear that BMW is changing the direction to an inline 6 they are again skeptical and doubtful if it would be in par with their current M's.... Time will prove all those people with a simple fact that we all 535i's love the engine and we are sure the new era of turbo's will rock... Everything has a flaw nothing is 100% perfect so we accept and go for the best..
Anyways, there is nothing personally i commented, like you said everyone has a different taste and preference..
I like the 535i and you like the 550i
Lets all rock with the bimmer

HOLMEN, Wis., - If you glance across the front yard of the Steinhoff home in Holmen, you'll start to get an idea of what a wonderful, slightly crazy life this family leads. We go through two gallons of milk a day. Ten loafs of bread every week."
When Rick and Rona Steinhoff got married back in 2004 they never could have guessed that their family would look like this in just a few short years. "I came into the marriage with four boys, he had two. And we were content having the 6 boys."
But 'content' is a long way from 'complete'. And they weren't yet complete, not by a long shot. "If God would have opened up this little window and showed us 'this is what I have for you!' We would have been like...'yeah right. You're kidding me!'"
You see, even before the marriage, they opened up their home to foster children. Sisters Hannah and Allie were first through their door. "They were 3 and 6 months when we got them." For two years they worked with the 'tummy mom' as they called her until one day, she asked Rick and Rona to adopt her girls...and they agreed. "We new we would keep them at that point."
After that, they decided... "We're done. We've got our two little girls."
Then in 2005 they got a call about another set of siblings that needed a *temporary* place to stay. Hayden and Rebecca were 3 and 1 when they first arrived. "Another case where mom said after 6 months...'I really want them to stay with you. And we agreed. Prayed about it. Agreed about it."
And then, just like last time... "We're done of course. We're content. We're done."
"And that's when she started going online. And one day at work she calls me and says, 'I found our daughter in Ethiopia.' And I'm like - excuse me?!" "The minute I saw her, I knew." "She sends me a picture and as soon as I see the picture I just called her back and said, 'you're right. That is our daughter.'"
Plans were underway to pick up little Abby from Africa. But a week before they were scheduled to leave, the phone rang yet again. A one year old little red head needed foster care for just a *few days* while they found her a more permanent location. "Isabella! Guess what folks....Isabella is still here. We were the permanent place they found!"
And when Abby arrived finally arrived from Africa, the tally totaled 12. "But then Abby can't be our only child from Ethiopia. (of course not!) So we decided to go back 4 months and found Simone. And then there was this little girl that was very sick that the family had backed out on. Our Zoey. Can you even imagine life without our Zoey?"
At 14...they swore...SWORE they were finally done for real this time. "You can say you're done but then God says, 'Hey Guess what...Surprise!'" Surprise was right.
Last year, they learned of 5 siblings from Africa who had recently been adopted by a U.S. couple. That couple was struggling to adjust and it looked like the children might be split up, a scenario the Steinhoff's just couldn't bare. So 14 year old Samuel, 12 year old Noah, 9 year old Mariah, 7 year old Faith and 3 year old Grace we're welcomed in to the family last year. "The house was so empty when we first moved in, it wasn't full. It wasn't home yet. It's full now. Our Quiver is full. Our Quiver is full."
Well, not quite full. Believe it or not, in January they will start the paperwork to adopt 14 year old Addy, another orphan from Ethiopia already in their care. "Everybody brings something different. You don't know what you're missing until you have that child in your family and you're like 'how was I happy without you?!' How did I think we were done?!"

Would you paint your home bright orange and green if it meant living mortgage free?
More than 40,000 people have applied for what's being called a "Billboard Home."
It's a unique way of advertising. A California marketing company called Brainiacs From Mars paints their logos and colors on your house. In return, they pay your monthly mortgage.
"If you let us paint ads on your house, we pay for your mortgage for the entire time the ad runs," said Romeo Mendoza of Brainiacs From Mars.
Many have applied – some from the Bay area. These homeowners are asking, almost pleading, for the company to turn their home into a billboard. One of the applications is from a teacher who says she has a $1,200 mortgage and is struggling to get by.
"90 percent of people are in need. The other 10 percent of people just want to have a good time, so maybe they want to see their cars or houses or boats," he said.
But Mendoza said they're only painting houses. The goal is to paint 3,000 homes by the end of next year.
"We buy ads as a company all the time, so why not buy an ad on this person's house, and we in return pay the mortgage," he said.

The US Department of Energy recently awarded funding to six programs for a total of $9.6 million in funding under the department's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) program. Three of the six projects received funding of over 2 million dollars apiece. The other three each received an amount between one-half and generic viagra 100mg three-quarters of a million dollars. Each of these programs offers the potential for significant advances in their respective fields.
"By investing in transformative ideas now, we are laying the foundation for a new clean energy future," said Secretary of Energy Steven Chu. "The ARPA-E program is helping to ensure U.S. leadership in science and technology, restore our global competitiveness, and create thousands of it's great! levitra online sales jobs."
The major projects are for an airborne wind turbine from Makani Power, a nanostructured permanent magnet from GE Global Research, and a supercritical fluid thermal energy storage system from UCLA. Makani Power's airborne turbine is a tethered wing used for power generation at significantly lower cost than conventional horizontal-axis wind turbines. GE's nanostructured magnets would reduce the need for critical rare-earth elements and provide increased performance for electric machines including hybrid vehicles and wind generators. UCLA's supercritical fluid thermal energy storage system would replace current two-tank molten salt storage used at solar thermal power plants with a supercritical fluid that would double energy density and cost less than 70 percent of the cost of current systems. The minor projects are for a nanotechnology membrane-based dehumidifier to dehumidify moist air with a polymer that is air permeable but not moisture permeable, a cryogenic carbon capture system for flue gasses, and an optofluidic solar tracking concentrator.

Communication and campaign strategy
"The team at Hubbell Communications took a complex issue, built a grassroots coalition of support, and executed a winning ballot measure campaign for us. The polling told us we couldn't win. Hubbell Communications showed us we could."
– Pat Reiten, President,
Pacific Power
"When we had a legislative issue in Oregon and needed to quickly demonstrate our strong base of support, we turned to Hubbell Communications. In just a few days, we had a fresh coalition identity, a campaign website, and a strong social media presence. I was thoroughly impressed at the speed and quality of their work."
- Gloria Bergquist, VP of Communications and Public Affairs, Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers
Grassroots Activism
"We hired Hubbell Communications to build an army. Within two months we had over 1,700 people signed up, and for the first time the legislature was hearing a coordinated voice in support of investing in post-secondary education in Oregon."
- Jim Francesconi, Board Chair, The Oregon Idea
Media Relations
"Hubbell Communications played a key role in coordinating the business community to deliver a unified message around an emotionally charged issue – immigration – in Salem. In part because of the air cover they provided the Legislature was able to act in a way that was responsive to the needs of Oregon employers and valued the diversity of our state."
- Connie Seeley, Former Chief of Staff to Senate President Peter Courtney
Grassroots Mobilization
"With expertise on both sides of the aisle, Hubbell Communications provided strategic support to a broad grassroots coalition of farmers, ranchers, tribal members, and business leaders in the Klamath Basin… In a complex, collaborative environment, the Hubbell team was an important tool for progress."
— Martin Goebel, Founder and President, Sustainable Northwest
we use the power of communications to shape both."

Epiphone's professional "F-Style" mandolin, loaded with electronic innovations.The Epiphone MM-50E Professional Mandolin combines the innovation and classic design that players have come to expect from Epiphone. The MM-50E is the first mandolin that allows you to adjust the output level of each individual string pair, solving the inherent problem of unbalanced string pair volume when plugged in. These features, combined with the classic Lloyd Loar era F-Style body shape and neck, make the MM-50E a one-of-a kind instrument. Epiphone and Gibson have been innovators in electrifying traditional stringed instruments for almost a century. Lloyd Loar, one of the Kalamazoo Factory's legendary designers and innovators, incorporated a pickup into the pickguard of his own 1922 F-5 mandolin. With Loar's designs in mind, Epiphone continues that tradition of innovation and has created a unique pickup and preamp system in collaboration with Shadow Germany for the MM50E.

As someone who once suffered world-class symptoms of borderline personality disorder that resulted in multiple admissions to hospitals, but who has since gone on to rejoin society, I can offer some perspectives on this disorder.
The first misconception most people have about borderline personality disorder is that its dramatic manifestations such as reckless or suicidal behavior are merely deliberate, manipulative attempts to get attention. That is not true. The distress is real.
For me, when I was acutely ill, no other options besides my suicidal behavior existed. I often fervently hoped each overdose would be the last or that finally someone would "see" how much help I needed. I had complete tunnel vision and couldn't envision yesterday or tomorrow. While having my stomach pumped in an emergency room or while running away from a psychiatric hospital, I would careen from high to low in euphoric bursts; I felt as if I was watching someone else. Even if the experience was unpleasant, which it usually was, I was unable to learn from it. Brief moments bordering on lucidity were too painful. It was as if part of me was asleep and I couldn't wake myself up, or was too afraid or felt too hopeless to wake myself up.
I was accused of intentionally reacting in certain ways and was once asked sarcastically by a doctor, "Is this enough attention for you?" But inside I was more like a frightened two-year-old than the cunning individual he thought I was. I couldn't see what I was doing. Mostly I felt desperate, with a longing to be permanently looked after, and I felt addicted to looking for help. I can explain these feelings only on reflection.
Some people believe people with borderline personality disorder "enjoy" it and don't want to get well. Wrong. I was out of control and couldn't have changed my behavior if I wanted to because I was looking for rescue. But each time the response from health care providers would be different. I felt, in a warped way, that their concern did clarify my existence, but my panic, fear, and anger took over when my racing thoughts and attempts to flee were stopped.
When I would overdose and when medical intervention, usually by force, was deemed necessary, I would feel temporarily hopeful, and then threatened, judged, and thwarted in meeting some sort of need. Oh, how I see the futility of it now. I was incapable of seeing it then, and I secretly wanted to be respected, liked, and approved of, but I didn't know how to attain these privileges or whether I was worthy of them in the first place.
The best way I have heard borderline personality disorder described is having been born without an emotional skin—with no barrier to ward off real or perceived emotional assaults. What might have been a trivial slight to others was for me an emotional catastrophe, and what would be a headache in emotional terms for someone else was a brain tumor for me. This reaction was spontaneous and not something I chose.
In the same way, the rage that is often one of the hallmarks of borderline personality disorder, and that seems way out of proportion to what is going on, is not just a "temper tantrum" or a "demand for attention." For me, it was a reaction to being overwhelmed by present pain that reminded me of the past. To put it simply, think of something that would really hurt you and multiply it by a hundred.
If several stressors occurred in sequence, I sometimes started to generalize, negatively. The past and the present became one. Feelings swept over me like one of those nets used to trap animals in the jungle—black, dark, persistent, and at times suicidal feelings. Those feelings, accompanied by flawed logic, fantasies of rescue, and a kind of self-preservation system gone awry created chaos in my mind. I would feel hopeless, my world would compartmentalize, and I'd enter an unremitting state of shock. The pain would seem interminable.
Thus the pain experienced by people with borderline personality disorder is not just a result of simple immaturity, a brilliant imagination, or the longings of a so-called spoiled child. We don't end up certified, in police lockups waiting to see a psychiatrist, or even dead because we're morally deficient. Our pain is real, but the equation creating that pain is faulty. Something is shut down in our brains that means we can't listen at first because we're in survival mode.
My longing for rescue made me, especially after I entered the treatment system, run, flee, turn to authorities for help, be chased. In fact, I fled from security (that is, I left the psychiatric unit), running away but still wanting to be caught, to be contained but not suffocated—primal feelings that I couldn't verbalize then. To say it was an altered state of consciousness is putting it mildly. All I can say now is that there was something I wanted to be gone but at the same time didn't wish to lose.
The most important thing is, Do not hospitalize a person with borderline personality disorder for any more than 48 hours. My self-destructive episodes—one leading right into another—came out only after my first and subsequent hospital admissions, after I learned the system was usually obligated to respond. Nothing that had happened to me before being admitted to a psychiatric unit for the first time could even approach the severity of the episodes that followed.
What I did after I entered the system was to survive using maladaptive tools as a result of knowledge I acquired in the hospital. The least amount of ill-placed reinforcement kept me going. It prevented me from having to make a choice to get well or even finding out that I wasn't as helpless as I believed myself to be.
In the community, a person with borderline personality disorder can discover how to live. Hospitalization activates needy feelings and perpetuates the patient's sick self-image in her own eyes and those of staff. I believe if you live with the lame, you learn to limp. I know I did. Hospitalization is too easy an "out," but episodes of self-harm may very well reduce or disappear if the patient knows the response will be minimal.
A person with borderline personality disorder is often just looking for reassurance rather than admission when she hints at or threatens suicide—she doesn't yet know how to directly and safely express her feelings. If she is admitted, however, she will probably regret it five minutes after she gets in. Without hospitalization, she can see that what seems beyond endurance usually is not. This realization has allowed me, albeit slowly, to grow and learn to cope. Tolerating pain and uncertainty is the only way this can happen.
The person with borderline personality disorder doesn't know how to wait, and a system that immediately responds doesn't give her a chance to soothe herself. Therefore, she continues to believe she is helpless. A man in an emergency room once said I would have to grow up and take care of myself. Reflecting the helplessness that I felt, I screamed at him, "I can't! . . . Don't you know that alone I'm going to die?" It was flawed but to me believable logic, with emotions literally blocking the intellect.
When you as a service provider do not give the expected response to these threats, you'll be accused of not caring. But what you are really doing is being cruel to be kind. When my doctor wouldn't hospitalize me, I accused him of not caring if I lived or died. He replied, referring to a cycle of repeated hospitalizations, "That's not life." And he was 100 percent right!
I would never have the life I have today if I had continued to get the intermittent reinforcement of hospitalization. The longer I stayed out of the hospital, the less I wanted to be in. The devastation I would have felt at supposedly losing my foundation of recovery would have been far worse than what I was feeling at the time. When I started to struggle to put my life together, sometimes all I had was that ever-growing time out of the hospital—which, with the exception of a short stay during the summer of 1997, has spanned five years—as something positive I could point to.
A word of advice to mental health professionals that cannot be stressed too strongly: don't define people with borderline personality disorder too strictly by any textbook limitations you have read. I have exceeded my doctor's expectations for improvement, and he doesn't know how far I can progress. For the most part I've stayed out of the hospital, maintain long-term full-time employment, live independently, have a motor vehicle, and plan to pursue further educational opportunities. If I—as one of the most chronic, regular, well-known, persistent visitors to emergency rooms in my community between the late 1980s and early 1990s, and as one of the most chronic hospital escapees, and as someone who was written off and told so—could triumph over borderline personality disorder to this extent, I'm sure other people with the disorder can at least improve the quality of their lives.
Someone answering to my name was once a terrified, angry person who was showing up in emergency rooms nearly every night and throwing up into a basin, or was being looked for regularly by the police when threatening suicide. Someone answering to my name also once fought nasogastric tubes and ran from nurses, doctors, police, and hospital security. But that wasn't the real me. That's not who I want to be.
Nor are the other people who are seen through the pathology of borderline personality disorder showing their real selves. As frustrating as these acutely ill people may be, please don't write them off. Maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to help one of them. I'm living proof that—over time—we can be helped.

Yesterday's storm created massive problems for electric utility crews who have been scrambling since last night to restore power to thousands of folks.
But power companies are saying that some customers won't see electricity flowing into their homes until Sunday.
According to Duke Energy officials, there are still thousands without power across the Triangle. More than 90,000 customers were without service in central North Carolina.
Most of the outages were in Wake and Johnston counties.
"We have two children most definitely ready for the power to come back on," said Bill Harrill as he waited for crews to do their work outside his Raleigh home.
Outside playtime kept Harrill's youngsters occupied Friday, but it was a bit tougher when the power went out Thursday night.
"We had to do a really hard sales job and tell them it was camping," Harrill said. "After we told them that and we got the flashlights out, it was a relatively good time.
"I just don't know how well camping will work on a second night."
Utility crews are stretched to the limit by the sheer number of downed power lines. Duke Energy has requested
additional utility crews from the Midwest and South Carolina to help
restore service to its 138,000 customers still without power Friday
They were among more than 243,000 customers of all utilities
without power.
"We're bringing in crews from across our service territory and across the country," said Amy Strucker, spokeswoman for Duke Energy Progress.
Dot Taylor and her husband, who also live in Raleigh, are making due, hoping power will be restored soon.
"It's all right for the morning, but as the day goes on it is inconvenient," Taylor said.
Duke said at one time Thursday, about 350,000 customers lost service in North Carolina.
Dominion Electric reported about 2,500 customers without service early Friday in the northeastern corner of the state.

Lewis Hamilton may be one of Formula One's 'Golden Boys' but even his stature didn't do him any good from the strong arm of the law.
In Melbourne for the Melbourne Grand Prix this weekend, Hamilton chose to spend some of his down-time by performing a series of burn-outs and fish-tailing on board a 2010 Mercedes E-Class E500 saloon. Apparently, the Victorian Police didn't find his car tricks the least bit impressive after they pulled him over and charged with "improper use of a motor vehicle".
As a result of his actions, Hamilton is expected to be summoned for his thrill ride and his E500 saloon has been impounded for about 48 hours. In a statement released by McLaren, Hamilton – maybe out of fear of having his squeaky-clean reputation taking a significant hit - was quick to apologize for his poor judgment, saying that he was "driving in an over-exuberant manner and, as a result, was stopped by the police."
"What I did was silly, and I want to apologize for it," he adds.
This goes to show that nobody really is above the law, even a 25-year old former Formula One world champion.

Osburn asks for rezone near H Street
zoning amendment proposed by developer Rick Osburn could
turn eight acres south of H Street currently zoned as
manufacturing/business area into a mixed-use development.
During a Blaine city council meeting Monday, Blaine community development director Terry Galvin recommended council members give a preliminary nod to Osburn's plan.
Under the current zoning, the property can only be used for industrial purposes. Galvin, however, said because the property is located on a high-volume intersection of H and Odell streets with a residential area immediately to the west, the property could be better utilized to serve a variety of needs, as well as create a transitionary buffer between residential and industrial areas.
Osburn said he would like to develop a mixed use planned development that would include Flexspace storage units, office spaces, and medium-density residential such as townhouses, apartments or condominiums with underground parking.
Preliminary sketches shown by architect Dave Christensen included a new street connecting Ludwick and Odell roads, as well as pedestrian crossings on H Street at Ludwick, and between Ludwick and Odell roads.
Christensen said the location was ideal because of the proximity to a high-density commercial center.
"People want to increase walkability, urbanity, friendliness and compactness," he said. "A lot of the citizens are really asking to do this all around the country. We want this kind of connectivity."
Galvin recommended that the city council support the initiation of a zoning and master plan amendment on the property provided that Osburn is able to show the zoning responds to current demand and that he submits a phased application for corresponding development project in conjunction with his request.
"We think it's a pretty good place to start with and it could have some very positive impacts if proposed and developed correctly," Galvin said.

Health Matters—Second Best to Breast
By Anna Soref
Most nutrition-savvy mothers know that breast milk is best and look forward to nursing their babies. But mothers who can't breastfeed have to rely on the next best thing: formula. Fortunately, these parents can now buy USDA-certified organic formula, a healthier choice than conventional, according to experts. "Conventional milk–based baby formula contains bovine growth hormone, antibiotics, and often estrogen, which is used to keep the cows pregnant to increase milk production," says midwife Cathy Carlson-Rink, ND. Also, because the cows at conventional dairies often eat low-quality feed, they produce low-quality milk, which, says Carlson-Rink, many conventional formula companies then fortify with inexpensive vitamins and minerals that infants can't absorb as readily.
But recently manufacturers have responded to increasing demands for "clean" infant formula by debuting organic options. The milk for these formulas comes from organic dairies, so the formula has little pesticide residue and no antibiotics, estrogen, or growth
hormones. Additionally, the organic formulas are fortified with organic essential fatty acids, critical for brain and visual development. Because the FDA strictly regulates levels of vitamins and minerals in baby formulas, consumers can be confident that organic formulas have the same nutrient levels as conventional.
More good news for parents of bottle-fed babies: A company called Born Free produces plastic bottles and cups that don't leach chemicals into the containers' contents. The plastic they use is free of BPA (bisphenol-A), a hormone-disrupting chemical found in other baby bottles. For more information: www.newborn free.com.

Could online poker become legal?
One powerful senator is reportedly trying to legalize online poker as part of the tax-cut deal.
We've heard plenty about this messy tax-cut compromise that President Barack Obama and Republicans have been negotiating. But in the middle of this is an effort by Sen. Harry Reid to legalize online poker, Politico reports.
The Nevada Democrat is trying to get support for tucking the online poker legislation into the deal to extend Bush-era tax cuts. Politico even obtained a draft of the online poker bill.
Reid's bill says Internet gambling sites must be licensed in order to operate. The bill has big implications for companies like MGM Resorts International (MGM), which -- ahem -- contributed $192,000 to Reid's re-election campaign, and Wynn Resorts (WYNN).
One senior aide told Politico the bill is "a total, 100% payback" for the political contributions Reid received from gaming companies. The same aide said lobbyists from Harrah's even helped write the bill.
"You could call him 'Harrah Reid' at this point," the aide said.
Post continues after video:
Reid is completely audacious. To even think of doing this is stunningly brash -- and just plain dumb.
The tax-cut deal is a mess. Jim Cramer bemoaned the horse-trading and delays on this blog. If Reid is trying to get online poker into the deal, what are other lawmakers -- Democrat and Republican -- trying to sneak in as well?
Online poker may become legal soon. Reid is clearly trying to reward his supporters, and if he doesn't win this one, he'll likely find another way to do it. He's the Senate majority leader and knows how to work the system as well as anyone.
Reid's effort will be torpedoed. Lawmakers from both parties are increasingly skittish about this tax-cut deal. Politico's story will only make them more so. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., told the site there is "zero chance -- no chance whatsoever -- that would be part of the tax deal."
Wow! Was this article biased or what? Those of us that choose to play on-line poker are doing it anyway, so why not tax and regulate it? This isn't "dumb" or "audacious" as the editorialist that wrote this dribble would like to frame it. This would generate revenue allowing those that don't play to pay less in taxes, and will provide more protections to the american consumers of poker sites against cheating etc. Although the later is not as prevalent as the uneducated might believe, because the sites know it is in their best interests to keep the games clean, and actively police for collusion etc. Regulation and following "best practices" could protect the customers of regulated sites. The author/editorialist that wrote this tries to make this sound like this bill is being snuck in, when this actually kind of makes sense as it would increase badly needed revenue, while Kim makes no mention of how the UIGEA that was intended to stop unlawful internet gambling was underhandedly attached, at the last minute, to a "port security bill" that was a "must pass" bill to protect us from terrorists. WFT? Most lawmakers weren't even aware that that it was added in there to begin with, and the UIGEA still can't prevent the gambling from being done by americans. It only restricts the ability for american companies and our government to benefit from it. If you have a brain, you can see why Mr. Reid's bill makes sense. Granted, it may benefit big casino companies that supported Mr. Reid, but then again, who else is best prepared to offer regulated poker? Reputable existing poker sites should be allowed to be licensed and regulated to compete fairly too, but I'm sure there is a little back scratching going on it that regard. It is politics after all. Still the premise of taxing and regulating on-line poker in this country is a very good idea.
Kim Peterson -
"ahem...." and how does this amount compare to the trillions of dollars spent by the wealthy 2% AND financial interests from other countries for the Repubs and Tea Party?!?
At least these casinos are companies HERE IN THE USA!! The money they pay in taxed profits actually goes towards paying this countries bills and debts!
Kim, as you can see many people believe your article is biased and wrong. I agree with all of them as well. I would imagine most any person who had a full understanding of this bill and had common sense would see the possible benefits and would fully support it.
Just because there is money to be made by the people who support this public servant does not invalidate the concept. The law that forced the revenues outside the country to begin with is the problem and should NEVER have been passed. This would just correct the prior error.
And in the future Kim if you want to write an article and be completely biased at least hide it a little bit better this was so obvious a monkey could see you were not stating facts but slandering a person and his motivations.
Government needs to get out of the morality business. COMPLETELY! I'm sick of the government telling me what I can and cant do in my own house. Here's a clue, I'm going to do it anyway, and you can kiss my **** if you think you can ever stop me.
The only thing I want from my government is protection from those who would harm us, or rip us off. And administrate government affairs. Beyond that GTFO of my life.
Legalizing online gaming is a win-win proposition. Most obvious is the huge amount of money for the US in Taxs of online gaming. We have already missed out on billions - trillions of dollars while the established sites have been raking it in.
These casinos have developed their own sites to operate here in the US.......they have just been waiting for the OK and are all geared up with the sites they already have developed! Online gaming does not take away from the casinos. Contrary, they add an entirely new market of gamblers to their profit margins.......folks who do not frequent casinos. Folks who sit in the comfort of their own homes, at any time - day or nite - seven days a week! Folks who can't afford the expense to travel to casinos or any desire to spend money on lodging, meals, gift shops, tourist attractions and entertainment. Folks who just want to enjoy a game of Poker with other like minded folks - without paying for all the extras.
There has been a HUGE, unique Lobby of US citizens who have been extremely well organized for years - such as the PPA - Poker Players Alliance. Imagine a Lobby of citizens for benefit of citizens!
I can't see how any of our legislators can turn their backs on this vast amount of money coming INTO our country for a change.....instead of going out to other countries.
It is a great idea to legalize online gambling. The legalize it and then they tax people's winnings. Has anyone seen the number of people of people playing on Full Tilt, Poker Stars, Cake Poker, and some of the other sites that still allow Americans to play? 60 minutes did a piece on online gambling after it was made illegal and even Las Vegas thinks it should be made legal. Harrahs and Binions could double, triple, quadruple their earnings by setting up internet sites. When you "buy in" to a tournament, they keep a certain amount and the rest goes into the pool. It's a no-brainer to legalize, regulate, and tax online gambling. The US would make a mint.

MAY, 2011 Private sector participation in the operation of Latin American airports is very uneven. While state-owned INFRAERO operates every major airport in Brazil, Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 operates 90% of the airports in Argentina. In the middle we find countries such as Peru, Mexico, Chile and the Dominican Republic where single or groups of airports have been "privatized" through concessions. What is not uneven is the growth rate of current and expected passenger traffic levels in the Latin American region. As the tables estimate, these numbers are likely to continue to grow during the next years. But this upward trend in volumes will represent challenges. First, airports will need to plan, pay and deliver the necessary improvements in capacity. Second, airports will face the test of gaining additional capacity in a limited airspace while at the same time maintaining the highest degree of safety and security. And third, leaving aside the discussion ....

There was laughing, plenty of food, and even some dancing as hundreds of people went to the Salvation Army in Shreveport for a full Thanksgiving meal.
Even more people in need were served in the community.
The Salvation Army says they served about 1,200 meals to people in the community Thursday with the food they sent out with their mobile units.
Several volunteers spent their holiday helping the area's homeless enjoy a warm meal. Many of the food items being served are thanks to your generous donations to shelters like the Salvation Army.

I just finished a fantastic book called The Shack by William P. Young. It was just released in May 2007 so you may not have heard of it yet. Since you're technologically savvy, I'll encourage you to visit Amazon.com and search for information about the book. The editorial reviews and personal comments are astounding and will whet your appetite for this novel.
Without giving away any details of the plot, this story is about a man who is wrestling with unspeakable pain and tragedy, and how he becomes healed and transformed by God's love. Reading this book is a spiritual experience - like prayer or meditation. It is a story that brings you into the story in a way that captivates and changes you. Since I started reading it, I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. More...

Lessons from a New Old House
We moved this summer from Dundee - a little town four miles from campus - to a 100-year-old home about two blocks from campus. I can see my office building from my porch and could probably make it halfway to it while holding my breath. This is the first house that I have loved as we are moving into it. I have always loved our houses, but I loved them because our life happened there and the living rooms and kitchens took on our personality. This is a house that you love because life has already happened there in the uneven, creaky floorboards and the window seats and poorly placed bathroom. The bathroom is on a landing in the stairwell with the toilet facing the front door directly. The front door has a large square window, and unless the bathroom door is closed every moment, our guests are greeted with the stately commode as the first thing they see. Now that's a welcome!

RHINELANDER, WI (WTAQ) - Medical experts said a Rhinelander man got a rare bone fracture when he died in an altercation at a bar early New Year's Day.
An autopsy shows that 48-year-old James Tanner died from a broken sternum bone, which punctured his heart.
Marathon County Medical Examiner Jessica Blahnik tells the Wausau Daily Herald the sternum is hard to fracture, especially in a heart puncture. Oneida County Medical Examiner Larry Mathein said it takes a lot of force to kill a younger person that way.
Witnesses told police that Tanner punched a 62-year-old man in the face at Sackett's Bar in Rhinelander -- and a 59-year-old disc jockey at the bar forcefully moved Tanner's upper torso to top of the bar with enough force to knock drinks to the floor.
Police say it's possible that the disc jockey's actions may have killed Tanner, but they're not certain. An investigation continues.
Officials say they don't know what prompted the original punch. That victim was treated at a hospital and later released.
The Oneida County district attorney's office is reviewing the matter.

Cozy, Clean & Quaint
The owner was very accommodating for our late, late arrival. He meet us with the key and showed us were all the lights were and how to find everything we needed. He had a very handed, awesome book there to help find convenient items. I don't cook on trips so not having a stove wasn't a problem for us. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was very nice, but no tub (which again I don't use on trips). It was a pleasant surprise to find cold drink for us already in the Refrigerator. Plus he provided all kinds of beach items. I would highly recommended staying here for 1 or 2 people.
"Great experience"
We really loved the local Miami vibe of the surrounding areas around the fortuna house.We felt like locals. It was fantastic! We loved the mix of some of the older buildings mixed in with the artsy and luxurious lofts and highrises. Our room was impeccably clean and the staff was really sweet and attentive to our needs. We loved the décor. The rooms were really cute , cozy and styled fantastically. The kitchen was really well stocked and perfect for a long stay. The parking was easy and right on the street along ne 26 st. We loved Bayside Shops which was a few blocks away. We strolled around at night then walked home. There is also a really great water view/ overlook at the end of the block that is just breathtaking at night. You can see all of the Miami skyline. We are looking forward to coming back for a longer stay next time.
Clean and Comfortable
This is terrific place to stay when in Miami! My husband and I stayed here for five days and had everything we needed for our visit. The studio has a "Zen-like" feel to it; is very clean and comfortable (and it even smells wonderful!). Val is a great host - available when we needed him, but also gave us our space and privacy. I HIGHLY recommend renting this cozy studio and plan on staying here again ourselves!

NFL owners, general managers, and coaches are arriving in Phoenix for the league meetings, which start Monday and run through Wednesday. They will have a little different vibe — you may see some trades go down (Darrelle Revis?) — because they are taking place while much of free agency is going on. It used to happen at the tail end.
Usually, rule changes and a press conference by commissioner Roger Goodell are the highlights.

VLC remote control in Dell & HP laptops made easy
It might be understandable but at the same time it is frustrating that the remote control that comes with most laptops these are geared to work only with Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center. So for those of us who are big fans of VideoLAN's VLC media player it me3ans that the nifty remote control is left largely unused.
This has changed now with some excellent work by Dan Bereanu who developed a plugin that will now let you use VLC in conjuction with that remote control on a limited number of HP and Dell laptops.
Currently it has been tested on the following laptops:
- Dell XPS M1330
- Dell XPS M1710
- Dell XPS M1530
- Dell Studio
- Dell Vostro 1310
- Dell Inspiron 1520
- HP Pavilion
You can grab you copy of the plugin over at SourceForge

A Poem for our Shipmates
"I have one consolation that lives with me today.
That God is near to them, in his own special way.
So God in all Your mercy, keep near Thyself the soul,
Of every Submariner, still on his final patrol."
"Lord, this departed shipmate with dolphins on his chest
is part of an outfit known as the best.
Make him welcome and take him by the hand.
You'll find without a doubt he was the best in all the land"
"So, heavenly Father add his name to the roll
of our departed shipmates still on patrol.
Let them know that we who survive
will always keep their memories alive."

Only forty-eight hours remain until the holiday known as the NFL draft is upon us. What was once a two day event has now turned into a three day, primetime extravaganza. Of all the major sports, it's the most dissected, anticipated, analyzed and attended draft of all. While I must admit I do at times miss the days of the ten hour marathon first round, I do like the truncated Thursday evening version that exists today.
The 2013 draft is, in my opinion, the most difficult to predict in recent memory, very short on top QB prospects, but long on impact defensive playmakers and offensive lineman. There will be the usual share of reaches and trades, perhaps more so than recent years. There are no franchise quarterbacks in this draft such as in 2012 with Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. Most draft experts in fact, feel the 2014 draft will more than make up for this year's lack of elite QBs; however one of two QB needy teams will surely deal back into the round. With so much OL and Defensive talent available this year we may see the fewest amount of skill position players ever picked. There is so much fun and intrigue to this draft, I saw Mel Kiper Jr. skipping around outside Radio City Music Hall singing "The Most Wonderful time of the Year".
So, without further buildup here is my mock draft :
1) Kansas City Chiefs: Luke Joeckel T (Texas A&M)
Rumor has it the Chiefs want to trade down and while that may be a possibility, I see them sticking with the pick and adding another body to their O-line.
2) Jacksonville Jaguars: Sharrif Floyd DT (Florida)
Another team I can see trading down. I think they give the Blaine Gabbert experiment one more year and address their QB need next year if it still exists. If they stay at #2, they take some much needed defensive line help with the 6-2 297 athletic tackle from Florida.
3) New York Jets: Geno Smith QB (West Virginia) (trade with Raiders)
At first I had the Raiders simply taking the fastest player on the board regardless of position but then I realized Al Davis was no longer running the show. Following the theme of trading down, I think the Raiders make the first of many draft day trades downward, letting the Jets move into this spot and acquiring some extra picks to boot. I blame this trade on my butcher, who tells me he thinks the Jets end their QB debacle with the mobile, big armed West Virginia signal caller. Mark Sanchez simply isn't an NFL QB and Tim Tebow really should be in the CFL applying his trade. While Sanchez's contract is an albatross around their necks, the Jets could spend draft weekend trying to trade him (yes Oakland, I'm looking at you). Rex Ryan would love a CB here, but he's in a lame duck season and I see him with little say in matters (except perhaps when it comes to the Baltimore Orioles). I could see the Jets moving up to grab DE Dion Jordan of Oregon as well, but I think they continue to go for headlines instead of wins with Smith.
4.) Philadelphia Eagles: Dion Jordan DE/OLB (Oregon)
Why? Three reasons: The Eagles are moving to the 3-4, Jordan is from Oregon and so is Eagles coach Chip Kelly. That's why. Besides, Jordan is not only a great pass rusher but he can drop into coverage as well. Alright, that's four reasons, but Eagle fans will be hoping if Jordan is the pick that he doesn't turn out to be the next Mike Mamula.
5.) Detroit Lions: Eric Fisher OT (Central Michigan)
This is a perfect marriage between player and need. Which means the Lions will somehow blow it.
6.) Cleveland Browns: Dee Milliner CB (Alabama)
Another spot where I can see someone (hello San Francisco) try to trade into. The Browns could take Geno Smith if he's still here or take some pass rushing help such as LSU's Barkevious Mingo or BYUs Ziggy Ansah. However, I see them taking the draft's top corner and pairing him with Joe Haden, giving them one of the top young tandems in the league.
7.) Arizona Cardinals: Lane Johnson OT (Oklahoma)
Much like with Fisher and the Lions, this aligns nicely for the Cardinals. However, something tells me of the three top tackles; Johnson will be the one who fails to make an impact in the pros.
8.) Buffalo Bills: Barkevious Mingo DE (LSU)
Yet another spot where I can see a team move up into, but I think the Bills take the second of many impact pass rushers whose best football is still ahead of him. I do believe Buffalo will be in play near to the end of the first round addressing their QB need.
9.) Oakland Raiders: Star Lotulelei DT (Utah) (trade with Jets)
I think Lotulelei's heart condition may scare some teams near the top, but not the Raiders who address a major hole in their defense with the Utah product. The nimble giant can play anywhere along the DL while injecting the team with some much needed youth.
10.) Tennessee Titans: Kenny Vaccaro S (Texas)
Way too high for him, but have you seen the Titans secondary? So has the rest of the league which is why the Titans will take the hard hitting, versatile safety. Vaccaro does has some off the field issues, but Tennessee desperately needs to upgrade the position and will roll the dice with the former Longhorn standout.
11.) San Diego Chargers: Chance Warmack G (Alabama)
For weeks I had either the Chargers moving this pick to the 49ers or sticking and taking DE Ziggy Ansah. However, word out of San Diego is that this is QB Philip Rivers last chance and rumor has it he is still running from NFL defenders in his sleep. To make his life a little easier, the Chargers take the physical, difference making guard who may be the best prospect at his spot since John Hannah. Warmack could be special.
12.) San Francisco 49ers: Matt Elam S (Florida) (trade with Dolphins)
Finally the 49ers find a trading partner with the newly logoed 'Fins. The Dolphins still have needs that need addressing and they pick up a bevy of picks from San Francisco to fill them. Meanwhile, the 49ers get a replacement for the departed Dashon Goldson with the second best safety in the draft who will be a starter and impact player from day one.
13.) New York Jets: Alec Ogletree LB (Georgia) (trade with Buccaneers)
Up until Sunday afternoon I had the Revis trade not happening in time for the draft and had the Bucs taking the fast rising CB DJ Hayden from Houston. But the much ballyhooed trade finally went through, forcing me to revisit this pick. Quite simply, the Jets are a mess, devoid of difference makers at nearly every position, and thanks to Mark Sanchez's less than deserved salary, they have very little room to maneuver. While Rex Ryan may be salivating for the team to pick a corner, they instead grab another one of the draft's impact defensive players in Ogletree. Yes, there are character red flags galore but when has that ever stopped the Jets?
14.) Carolina Panthers: Sheldon Richardson DT (Missouri)
The Panthers have many needs on both sides of the ball and while it is tempting to give QB Cam Newton more weapons with either WR Tavon Austin or WR Cordalle Patterson, they must address their defensive line which has been bad for years. Richardson may lack ideal size at just 294 pounds, but he makes up for it with passion for the game and elite athleticism. Richardson can be dominant and will keep blockers off last year's first round pick MLB Luke Kuelchy. Much like Warmack with the Chargers, Richardson could be special for the Panthers.
15.) New Orleans Saints: Jarvis Jones OLB (Georgia)
Defense is what the Saints need. They were historically bad last year and new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan will be seeking playmakers everywhere. They get one with Jones who can be as disruptive as anyone as long as his health issues check out. He can play inside and out and is adept at beating 1 on 1 blocking. The lone curveball to this pick is that these are the Saints and scoring points is their name so don't be shocked if they grab Austin or WR Keenan Allen or replace the departed Jermon Bushrod with North Carolina G Jonathon Cooper.
16.) St. Louis Rams: Tavon Austin WR (West Virginia)
If Vaccaro is still on the board here, the Rams will grab him to continue to upgrade their secondary and replace departed S Craig Dahl. However, with Vaccaro and Elam both gone, the Rams grab the first WR in what may be a run on the position with Austin who can create mismatches with his speed and explosiveness. Sam Bradford needs weapons and he gets a good one in the small but dynamic playmaker.

Another Big Brother wedding is in the works — and the proposal aired on Sunday's episode of the show.

Meet the teams competing to win the $1 Million Dollar prize in the milestone 25th installment of the Amazing Race.
The milestone 25th season of The Amazing Race kicks off from Times Square in New York City just as it did in the first season. Teams this season include married surfers from Hawaii, urban bike racers from New York, food scientists from Wisconsin and dating pro wrestlers from Texas and New Jersey. Phil Keoghan hosts.
THE AMAZING RACE is a seven-time Emmy Award-winning adventure reality series hosted by Emmy-nominated host, Phil Keoghan, which pits teams, of two, against each other on a trek around the world. At every destination, each team will have to compete in a series of challenges, some mental and some physical, and only when the tasks are completed will they learn of their next location. Teams who are the farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning $1 million.

Question: You are probably going to get a lot of angry email about how Orange Is the New Black and True Detective didn't win any of the major Emmys. But I think they may have suffered from submitting in the wrong category, and some of the voters probably didn't want to get more viewers angry after letting both OITNB and True Detective submit in the wrong categories. So glad for Julianna Margulies' win for The Good Wife and Jim Parsons' win for The Big Bang Theory. But the biggest shock for me is Sherlock's three wins, couldn't be any happier. Which win/snub shocked you, and do you think OITNB and True Detective could have won more awards if they had submitted in the proper categories? — Aadil
CBS announced a "multi-phase rollout" of its fall programming Tuesday, with premiere dates for Survivor, NCIS, The Big Bang Theory and more stretching from September through the end of October.
The gloves come off in a sensational finale to an incredible season of CBS's The Good Wife (Sunday, 9/8c), one of the best and hands down the most purely entertaining drama series anywhere on TV. The intrigue is riveting as rival law firms (Florrick/Agos, Lockhart/Gardner) go for broke, using any means necessary — including possibly illegal electronic eavesdropping — to get the advantage on the other in what now seems a fight to the death. Partners battle partners between and within both teams, and when Christine Baranski (the embattled Diane) faces off with Michael J. Fox (ruthless interloper Louis Canning) for control of the firm she built with the late Will Gardner, the fireworks are as awesome as the surprising fallout.
CBS is shaking up its schedule this fall. The Big Bang Theory is moving to Mondays at 8/7c while the network airs NFL Thursday Night Football. But starting on Oct. 30, The Big Bang will return to Thursdays at 8/7c. That same week will also see the series debut of new comedyThe McCarthys and the premiere of Two and a Half Men's final season, which will air Thursdays at 9/8c.
Other shows moving to new nights are NCIS: Los Angeles, which will head to Mondays at 10/9c, following new drama Scorpion; The Amazing Race, which will shift to Fridays at 8/7c to make way for Tea Leoni's Madam Secretary on Sundays at 8/7c; and CSI, which will relocate to Sundays at 10/9c and split the timeslot with new spin-off CSI: Cyber.

Dimitri Mitropoulos Collection M/A 1988.52.01
|Mitropoulos, Dimitri
|Dimitri Mitropoulos Collection
|1.0 boxes
|James K. Hosmer Special Collections Library
Dimitri Mitropoulos was born in Athens, Greece on February 18th, 1896. He was musically precocious, demonstrating his abilities at an early age. He entered the Athens Conservatory at the age of 14, excelling at both piano and composition. Mitropoulos had originally entered training to become a monk in the Greek Orthodox church, however decided against it when he learned that he would not be allowed to keep an instrument in his cell.
From 1921 to 1925 he assisted Erich Kleiber at the Berlin State Opera. He also took a number of posts in Greece, including conductor of the Athens Conservatory Orchestra in 1924. He made his U.S. debut in 1936 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
From 1937 to 1949, he served as the principal conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra (now known as the Minnesota Orchestra). Mitropoulos's tenure was regarded as a golden age for the orchestra. His style of directing was passionate and energetic, using gestures instead of a baton and memorizing all of his scores instead of referencing a printed one. He performed more contemporary compositions than his predecesors had, to the delight of some and the chagrin of others. His resignation in 1949 was front page news in local newspapers.
Thereafter he began his association with the New York Philharmonic, the peak of his orchestral career. In 1957 he was succeeded as the Philharmonic's conductor by a protégé, Leonard Bernstein.
In addition to his orchestral career, Mitropoulos was an equally important force in the operatic repertoire. He conducted opera extensively in Italy and from 1954 until his death in 1960 was the principal conductor of the Metropolitan Opera in New York, although the Met did not officially use that title at the time.
Mitropoulos died of heart failure in Milan, Italy on November 2, 1960.
Collection Description
The collection consists of 11 folders, most of which contain newspaper and periodical clippings regarding Mitropoulos's life and career. One folder contains a number of portraits. One folder also contains a bound collection of publicity materials from the 1940s given to the managers of locations at which Mitropoulos and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra were touring.
