WINCHESTER, Tenn. -- He confessed to sexually abusing a disabled patient he was paid to take care of, but was found mentally incompetent to stand trial.
Now, an exclusive NewsChannel 5 investigation discovered the man who confessed to that crime has been working at a local hospital for years, despite being on a list health care providers should check before hiring employees or volunteers.
We found Jimmy Thad Eatherly leaving work at Southern Tennessee Medical Center in Winchester last week.
The Tennessee Department of Health put him on its Abuse Registry in 2010.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked Eatherly, "Should you be working at a hospital if you are on the state Abuse Registry?"
Eatherly did not respond and continued getting into his truck.
Our investigation discovered that Eatherly was arrested in 2007, charged with six counts of rape involving two disabled patients he cared for in their homes in Lincoln County.
He signed a confession for county investigators, detailing how he had sex with a man who had the mental capacity of a child, then instructed him "not to tell."
Eatherly's step-daughter, Christy Cramer, told NewsChannel 5 Investigates she had heard about the confession, but had not seen it until we showed her.
"It breaks my heart in two," Cramer said as she reviewed the written confession.
She says Eatherly should be in jail, not working in a hospital.
"Please take him off the streets. Take him and put him somewhere else, because he doesn't need to work in our hospitals. He doesn't need to work with our disabled," Cramer said.
Despite the confession, Eatherly was never convicted.
State doctors said he was "not competent to stand trial."
But the doctors also said he should not be put in a mental institution.
In 2009, a judge "removed the case from the court's active docket," and Eatherly was a free man.
"He's competent enough to stand trial," Cramer said. "He's got common sense. He's not ignorant."
The Tennessee Department of Health learned about the case from another state agency and put Eatherly on its Abuse Registry.
But Eatherly was already working at the hospital when he was put on the registry.
Southern Tennessee Medical Center is in neighboring Franklin County.
It apparently hired Eatherly around the same time court appointed doctors were concluding he was not competent to stand trial.
Eatherly's family says he initially served food at the hospital, but moved to cleaning rooms.
"He doesn't need to be in a hospital," Christy Cramer said. "He doesn't need to be around patients that cannot speak or talk verbally."
The CEO at Southern Tennessee Medical Center wouldn't talk to us on camera, but after our questions he sent us a statement.
"We have fully investigated the matter, and this individual is no longer employed at the hospital," CEO Phil Young said in the statement.
It means Eatherly won't be back to work at the hospital, but for Christy Cramer there's a bigger issue.
"I want to know where the justice is in this," Cramer asked. "It's not fair. It's not fair to anybody, any family."
Prosecutors say Eatherly's case was unusual and frustrating.
They claim their hands were tied when the state's own doctors said Eatherly was not competent to stand trial.
At this time, they see no way to prosecute.
The hospital sent a second statement saying Eatherly was never involved in direct patient care and when they learned about the situation they took quick action.
That statement reads:

What were you favourite bands when you were a kid or a teenager? What do you think that says about you and your community?
The TEDsters were born in different eras, different places all over the world.
What music you chose, why you do it and what that expresses says a lot about the person, the times, the moral paradigm and political landscape.
Music has always been an integral part of my life. I've been a goth, an emo, a rock-girl, a punk and more, both listening and making music, depending on the period. Some bands that have influenced me are still a good reference, some of them are just a sentimental insight.
Back to the question - what music did you chose when you were young and what do you think it says about the times, the community you grew up in and you yourself, as a person?
In other words - some like Iron Maiden, some like U2, some like other bands, some like everything, some do not. Why do you think that is?
All replies and comments are welcome.

Aug 9 2013: So when I was a teenager, I was angry. I discovered heavy metal and Iron Maiden ruled my musical tastes. That isn't to say I don't like other genres and can listen to country and oldies too.
Now that I am 46 I still find that metal is still my favorite genere. I just like the release it gives me. My current favorites are the folk and viking metal bands such as Eluveitie, Amon Amarth, Heidevolk, Tyr, Trollfest and even the fun pirate metal of Alestorm!

Warning! This fan fiction may cause: obsessive screaming, day dreaming, crying, violence, idiotic grins, scary breakdowns, uncontrollable laughter and unreasonable mood swings. Once you begin reading you wont be able to stop or something like that. *grins cruelly* No, I'm not crazy. So, please avert your gaze from up here to the summary below and immerse yourself in the best fan fiction. . . Ever!
Summary: Mia Sage was a girl born for adventure. She traveled around town at night, talked back to her parents, and even stole fresh loaves of bread from the local market. She was naive, single, and was clearly the most gorgeous maiden in the city. Her step father Sir Lewis, head of an Oil Company practically had the town feeding out of his palm except, of course his so-called daughter. After years of putting up with her mischief, her parents forced her to learn proper etiquette. That never ceased the craving for quest. Finally, Mia has enough and ventures out of town alone leading her in the most dangerous journey of her life. What will happen when powerful vampire covens arise, lives end, and violent fights commence that never seem to halt? Read this fan fiction of heart-stopping drama, brutal struggles, and appearances of the Cullen's to find out what happens.
Preface: The enemy stormed closer to me, his chest rising and falling with each unnecessary breath he took. Finally, he raised his head and I met with the most angering pair of crimson eyes. "Prepare yourself for the most intense battle of your life," he snarled. A smirk plastered across my face as I lowered my dark hood.
"Bring it,"
One Chance
Chicago, Illinois
City Carnival
October 30, 1893
As the frost bites at my face, my muscles go numb, and the starvation pinching my belly roars with fury. Cautiously, I edge out of the gloom and scan my surroundings. At the sight of a large silhouette hesitating behind the Ferris wheel, my cloudy grey eyes suddenly freeze. The luminous glow emitting from the moon beamed. The silky light shone directly on the Ferris wheel, creating an eerie shadow. My breath caught as a flash of lightning streaked across the sky. The rumble of thunder rolled through the hills and the silhouette threw their hands into the air.
The radiance faded gradually as a heavy mist cloaks the black in the sky, obscuring my view of the ground. My shoes kick at the dirt noisily as I stumble over a loose plush toy. Abruptly, the silhouette's head whips around, alarmed at the noise. My feet clumsily carry me forward as the silhouette's glorious crimson eyes lock with mine.
With lightning fast speed, the silhouette glided toward me and gripped my shoulders fiercely. An electrical current rushed through me and I jolted in its presence. The strange feeling continued but he did not let go. "What is your name, young one?" a musical voice hissed. I shivered and scraped the tears off my flushed cheeks. Mother had always warned me not to give a stranger my name. Should I give it to him? My head whirled as I thought of all the things this man could do to me. He shook me roughly, forcing my attention back to him. "Your name," he reminded me.
"E-Emma Davies," I lied, using my stepsister's name. An animalistic growl ripped through the man's teeth as he slapped me across the face. Screaming in pain, my knees buckled underneath me and
if it were not for the man's grip on my shoulders, I would have collapsed to the floor.
"Tell me your name!"
I whimpered, "Mia," In the far distance a crow squeaked, overpowering my weak voice. "Mia Sage Lewis," I said.
The man stepped closer to me, his body pressing into mine. Bending down he whispered into my ear, "Well, Mia, my name is Alec Volturi. I promise you this will only hurt for a moment-"
"Please!" I screeched, shoving on his chest. "Please don't hurt me! I do not want to die. I-I'm only fourteen!" The wind howled along with me and the hood shadowing Alec's face dropped from his head, revealing painfully gorgeous features. As the breath whooshed out of me, I could not help but gasp. His eyes had softened from the first time I gazed into them. They held a new emotion in them that I could not comprehend. While I was too busy marveling Alec's face I did not realize another figure walking toward us. Alec went still and he sighed.
"Sister," he called. His cardinal eyes lit up and a pale tongue shot out of his mouth to moisten then edges of his lips. "You were supposed to search downtown." The figure stopped in front of me and rested a hand on Alec's shoulder. His entire body tensed and his proud stance became protective.
"The Cullen's' have escaped. They shouldn't come back but I have a feeling something big is coming our way. . ." It was quiet for a moment then the high soprano voice rang out again. "Who's your friend, brother?" She took a step closer to me and my eyes strained to see her face.
"This, my dearest sister, is Mia."
Alec's sister edged even closer to me and then inhaled a large gulp of air. "She smells delightful-"
"Jane," Alec barked. "I have other plans for our friend here. She radiates much power."
"Mia is too young, Alec. You cannot change her and certainly cannot let her go home now. Let's put her to good use." Jane's muscles coiled and I could see her slowly lowering herself into a crouch.
"We'll get Aro's approval first." Jane huffed at her brother's bickering and then smirked.
"Jane, please don't." Alec begged, his grip on my shoulders suddenly tightening. I flinched under the sting of his cold flesh. "Brace yourself." However, not even his warning could have prepared me for the pain the ripped its way through my veins. Crumbling to the floor, I screeched and dug my fingernails in the dirt. My body began to convulse on the floor and over the reverberation of my wails in agony, I could hear Alec yelling something. The fire inside me grew causing my shrieks to raise three octaves. After what seemed like hours, the pain stopped and I relaxed onto the ground.
"You didn't need to hurt me. That was completely unnecessary!" I cried.
Jane brushed the hood off her head and I was struck with a powerful wave of jealousy at how beautiful she was. My eyes scanned her slowly, drinking in the image of her face. Her features were delicate, but at the time, I could see the power underneath them. She had the same graceful cheekbones, flawless pastel skin, and even blood red eyes as Alec. For a second I wondered if their eye color was genetic. Shivering, I pulled myself to my feet and smoothed my skirts. "It was necessary you worthless mortal. Do it now, Alec."
Alec bowed his head and a white mist began floating around him. Then, it wafted skyward and showered down on me. Instantly, a tired feeling washed over me. My eyes sight began to dull, then my hearing faded, after that, my limbs went numb. Just as my throat began to tingle, I screamed, "Stop," It was too late, the mist had already taken affect. It felt as if darkness was the only thing I have ever known.

Third Person POV
Aro raised the glass of blood to his lips and sipped deep in thought. "So," he began, eyeing the human sprawled before him. "You didn't chase the Cullen's for . . . this?" Jane traipsed forward, her black robe swirling at her ankles.
"The coven escaped before I could catch up to them, master. Alec found the mortal prior to my arrival," she stated firmly. "She must be killed."
Alec shoved his sister back and gingerly lifted Mia from the table. "I can't let her go now," he breathed, twirling one of her ginger locks around his finger. Aro chuckled despite the situation playing out, and then shook his head.
"Jane is right, Alec. The human must be killed. She could expose us newborns are hard to tame. It would take years for her to maintain her self control."
"I'll teach her our ways. I will not ever move from her side. If you want, I'll even move into her room."
"This conversation has officially ended, Alec. Mia Sage will be killed-" Aro cut short. Alec launched himself across the room in a swift stride and crashed into his master. Aro gasped and fumbled around for escape. Alec seized Aro's neck and slammed his head into the wall. The vigor of the collision caused the dramatic red drapery to slap onto ancient tiles.
"If you ever touch a hair on her head I will tear you apart. Don't go near her." Alec trembled then stared at his glossy Italian shoes. "Please, Prego non ferire il mio amore." (Please don't hurt my love) he begged.
"She cant be your love, Alec. The girl is merely human."
Alec snorted and released his hold on his master. "I know my soul mate when I see her." He raked his hands through his matted hair and groaned.
"What happens if she doesn't return your love?" Aro asked softly, clasping his hands together.
"I'll let her go but not before I've fought for her."
"Very well," the old man sighed, stealing a disheartened glance at Jane. "Miss. Lewis will be changed at midnight. Dismissed."
Okay guys. The Cullen's will be in the next chapter so. . . If you don't read stories without the Cullen's you don't have to stop reading this one. (; *wink wink*
Anyways, this took me a long time to write but I understand if their were some parts you may have found boring or not good. Please tell me what you think!
Love, Lexi Volturi

Before & After: Sofa Makeover
Rock Paper Scissor Graphics
Sofas can be deceiving. They might look sketchy and a few decades old, but that doesn't mean that with a little elbow grease and a stitch or two that they can't look fresh, modern and updated. Want to see what this sofa looks like now?
We checked in over at Rock Paper Scissor Graphics where there's always a great diy transformation happening. Old and bland is always getting a new coat of paint or fabric and this sofa is no exception.
The skirt was removed and new fabric was added and this one grungy basement find could easily pass for a modern retail purchase. The best part of taking on a project like this? You create it yourself and save a sad, sad sofa from the landfill. You can check out more over at Rock Paper Scissor Graphics.

awesome upcycle!
seriously fabulous. I'm a huge fan of custom tailored slipcovers (have cats) and this looks like a wonderful sofa.. and would be an ideal slipcovered one.
Woooaaa...never would have thought this was the same sofa. Lovely upcycle!
So I have a great couch that I bought at a consignment store about 4 years ago. It's gone through 3 moves and a kitten and I really need to give it a makeover. I've been trying to find any DIY tutorials and such but haven't been lucky. I've never touched a sewing machine, so it's possible that I might not even be able to do it myself. Does anyone have suggestions of articles to read?
Love the re-do!
@Chorn, maybe this will help? http://oliveourhouse.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Loveseat/
I had an ugly old sofa that I reupholstered myself. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, EVER. I was sliced, blistered, scraped, scuffed, and thoroughly exhausted at the end of it. I suppose it would have been easier with a professional set of tools (I did most of it with an old sewing machine and a cheap staple gun) but I will never try to do it again.
Terrific job! You would never know the before and after were the same couch!
Perfect use for Ikea kitchen cabinet legs...
Chorn, there are some good DIY articles out there but the most important thing we suggest
is remove the upholstery and take photos so you know how to put it back together. Also, don't walk away from the project or you might forget the process.
Recycling a sofa is a great way to do the right thing, but it can be expensive. There are some upholsterers who do custom slipcovers for a fraction of the price.
Good Luck!
I reupholstered a chair once... hardest thing I've ever done. I would never do it again.
Oh, whoa! Looks fabulous!
I must say ... not half bad.
WOW! Great job. But, most surprising of all there are14 comments and not one says "I liked the before better." Maybe 2012 is the dawning of Aquarius.... :o)
That's fantastic! I'm seriously impressed.
If the sofa has good bones I would pay to have it professionally reupholstered. They get the details right....piping, pleats, cushion stuffing, etc. It is worth the money if the piece is good.
I too liked the yellow better than the white.
Fantastic job but I think a not so bland fabric would have made the after look like a more expensive piece?? Thoughts? Would a pattern be better for a novice to attempt to reupholster with (hide imperfections?) or stick to solids?
The after is lovely, but OMG the before fabric is totally the same fabric my grandmother had on her sofa all through my childhood. Ugly as sin, but so soft.
@chorn When I wanted to reupholster a chair, I signed up for an adult ed class at a local college. Everyone brought their own project and the teacher was a professional who talked us through the process. It was really interesting. I'm glad I did it. It was a lot more difficult than I imagined and I haven't done it since.
OTOH, the teacher shared some great resources for discounted fabrics and a few techniques I've used other times. And, it was a cheap way to get a professional result on reupholstering that chair.
Also, if I ever decide to do it again, I am confident that I could.
Aw, I kinda liked the turd-brown tea roses....
Thanks everyone for the good advice. I think I'm heading in the direction of a slipcover. Does anyone know the price-range of custom slipcovers or a good website that has a wide range of slipcovers?
I agree with Whale 100%. Other than slipcovers, taking on a reupholstery job yourself will almost always result in heartache. A professional upholsterer can help you reinvent the piece, especially if it is a quality piece in the first place. I always say, if it's lasted 50 years (or 30ish in the case of the before sofa depicted), it will last you 50 years.
wowowow that is great!! good work!
quiltmaster made me laugh.
What a cute and functional remake. And I'm sure it took rather a lot more work than "a stitch or two" ... !!!!
oh man..this is too good. TOO GOOD.
Excellent job!
I have a 90s Ethan Allen couch that I added a tailored slipcover to a few years back. This post inpired me to cut off the couch skirt and pin back the slip cover to expose the legs. What a difference! It looks moderned--and upholstered.
Well, great job. I don't sew either. I have heard/read that you can use a glue gun with staple gun for good results..Just sayin, never done it. However, I did have two chairs recovered, ask anyone, it is much more expensive than a new piece. Good bones or not, you're not going to feel good if you decide to change your style, do to the expense.
best of luck.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- An armed stand-off with the operators of a large meth manufacturing operation in the 500 block of Egleston has ended without gunplay.
It began at 4:30 p.m. Saturday when Public Safety, acting on a tip tried to make contact with the occupants at the address in the Edison neighborhood.
One of them jumped out a window and was arrested on outstanding warrants. Two others barricaded themselves inside.
The Metro SWAT team was called in after it was determined the two had guns. A negotiator with the SWAT team was able to talk one of the suspects out of the home. They other was persuaded to leave after a chemical irritant was introduced to the home.
A large and complex Methamphetamine Lab was discovered in the home. They also found a shot gun. It took several hours to dismantle the lab.
The two are also being held on outstanding warrants pending tests and the issuance of warrants for new drug and gun violations.

Two men have been indicted on sex charges stemming from an alleged video showing them having sex with a toddler.
Jeremy Atral Hodges and Marco Laquin Rogers were indicted Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Jackson.
Both on one count of child sex trafficking and one count of selling or buying children.
In October, a criminal complaint was filed against Rogers saying both men had sex with a 3 or 4 year old child at a Jackson hotel on May 26th.
Rogers' lawyer says he does not think his client had sex with the child.

CPI up 0.5 percent in April 2005
May 19, 2005
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.5 percent in April 2005, following an increase of 0.6 percent in March.
Energy costs advanced sharply for the third consecutive month—up 4.5 percent in April. Within energy, the index for petroleum-based energy increased 6.3 percent and the index for energy services increased 2.3 percent.
The index for food rose 0.7 percent. The index for food at home increased 1.1 percent, its largest advance since a similar rise in May 2004. The index for all items less food and energy, which increased 0.4 percent in March, was virtually unchanged in April. Declines in the indexes for apparel and for lodging while away from home, which had accounted for the acceleration in March, were largely responsible for the deceleration in April.
During the first four months of 2005, the CPI-U rose at a 4.8-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR). This compares with an increase of 3.3 percent for all of 2004.
For the 12 months ended in April 2005, the CPI-U rose 3.5 percent, as shown in the chart.
These data are from the BLS Consumer Price Index program. For more information, see "Consumer Price Index: April 2005" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 05-871.

The Conduct of a Semi-Conductor: Analog Devices Inc.
Garima is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Analog Devices (NASDAQ: ADI) engages in the design, manufacture, and marketing of analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits (ICs) used in industrial, automotive, consumer, and communication applications. The company recently declared its fourth quarter earnings, generating a gross margin of 63.8%, down by 179 basis points (bps) sequentially and 52 bps year over year, below management's gross margin prediction of 65%.
Measurable Aspects
Analog Devices has had a big turn up in revenue in the second quarter, yet fell short of expectations. It reported fourth quarter earnings per share of $0.58, generating revenue of $695.0 million. This was up by 1.7% sequentially.
The net income of the company was $179.2 million, or a 25.8% net income margin. This is better than $169.8 million, or 24.9%, in the previous quarter and $183.5 million, or a 25.6% net income margin, in the year-ago quarter.
The company has allowed their inventory to increase up to 121 or 122 days, with the main objective to keep the inventory under control and yet be flexible enough to respond in time to any increase in quarterly demand.
Moreover, there have been very significant operating expense controls by the company, evident in the fact that operating expenses have been roughly flat in the last two years despite massive fluctuations in revenue. Moreover, special charges related to restructuring activity were absent in the last quarter.
Looking Forward
Management hopes to soon accelerate back to the gross margin levels at which it operated a few quarters ago. The primary reason for the gross margin decline was the change in sales mix, which favored lower-margin products in the last quarter. Therefore, management has decided to reduce production to align inventories with demand, which will cause the utilization rate to drop.
The communications segment of the company now constitutes infrastructure sales alone. This business should continue on an uptrend, as there is great focus on 4G and LTE by leading phone makers, such as Samsung and Apple, and Analog Devices has offerings for both the traditional and 4G networks. Thus it stands to gain when there is any increase in demand. Additionally, it has higher content in the 4G segment, which along with its position should positively influence revenue growth.
Areas to be considered
Analog Devices has a very diversified market, including the industrial automation, instrumentation, energy, defense and healthcare segments. The macro weaknesses of the company have resulted in the industrial customers decreasing their orders and cutting their inventories, quite contrary to the management's optimism. Europe and Japan are the weakest markets for Analog.
The company faces direct competition from NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ: NXPI), STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN), each one of them a strong player in the market.
NXPI posted a third-quarter profit of 50 cents per share on Nov. 1, which was 1 cent higher than the average forecast. Moreover the CEO of the company is optimistic that Near Field Communications (NFC) will take off in the following year. as a result of this the company, being a leading supplier of NFC chips, shall grow.
STM is a global leader in the semiconductor market, serving customers across the globe. It is found everywhere microelectronics make a positive and innovative contribution to people's life. Company management has announced that they will present the company's new strategic plan on Monday, Dec. 10, 2012 before the European stock markets open. In 2011, the company's net revenue was $973 million, which is quite high in comparison to ADI's revenue of $695 million.
TXN is engaged in the design and sale of semiconductors to electronics designers and manufacturers worldwide. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, expanding profit margins, good cash flow from operations, largely solid financial position, reasonable debt levels, and notable return on equity.
Takeaway advice
Analog Devices has a significant percentage of its revenue coming from the industrial and automotive markets, both of which are expected to remain sluggish in the near term as macro concerns continue to have an impact on its customers. Additionally, the company is now expecting a sharp reduction in its consumer revenue, which will make matters worse.
Given these negatives, it is not surprising that the predictions of the management are again below expectations. Moreover, the present uncertainty in key markets is expected to continue in the future. Therefore I do not expect Analog Devices to report better results over the time period and would recommend a short term selling of the company's stock.

You really can make a bad family movie less terrible. The people responsible for "Parental Guidance" have done an honorable enough job, chiefly through casting. No, I don't understand how the combination of Bette Midler and Billy Crystal produces Marisa Tomei for a daughter, but here it does. They happen to be the right actors for a movie that asks one character to be whacked in the crotch and another to have a cake land on her head. It's not dignity you need them to have. It's a fear of embarrassment. It's: "I'll do anything for this movie, but I won't do that."
You feel that Midler, Crystal, and Tomei, along with Tom Everett Scott, who plays Tomei's husband, and the three kids who play their children, sat down with the director (Andy Fickman) and writers (Lisa Addario and Joe Syracuse) and demanded a degree of decorum. Midler gets to do a lot of her big faces and Crystal indulges certain sports fantasies and runs around like a lunatic a couple of times, but they won't give material this mediocre the satisfaction of total self-humiliation. They do a lot of underplaying.

Lakeland's Police Chief: "I Am In Disbelief"
LAKELAND, Fla. (970 WFLA) - On the heels of two scandals that have rocked Lakeland PD, Chief Lisa Womack addresses city commissioners Monday morning.
"I am appalled. I am in disbelief," said Womack.
The Polk County state attorneys office has been investigating two controversies. In one, ten officers were involved in a sex scandal that involved a civilian employee. In another, an officer got in trouble for making a woman shake her bra during a traffic stop.
Womack assures her department is investigating those incidents thoroughly and changes are being made to prevent those circumstances from happening again. She says it'll take time to restore public trust in the agency.
"Are we going to get better? Absolutely."

New helicopter service links Manhattan and NYC airports
A helicopter service connecting Manhattan with New York City airports is due to start in about two weeks. On March 13 US Helicopter will introduce an eight-minute S-76B flight between the Wall Street Heliport and JFK Airport. The company will add services linking La Guardia and Newark Liberty International to Wall Street and the
East 34th Street Heliport later this year.
TSA security checkpoints will be in operation at both heliports, and American Airlines passengers will be able to check their bags and be dropped off at the carrier's new Terminal 9. US Helicopter is in talks for similar services with other carriers, but until they reach an agreement their passengers will need to connect to their terminals in the normal way.
Tickets can be booked online at www.flyush.com, at an introductory price of $159 plus taxes each way. Next month, US Helicopter expects to start flying the S-76B, in an eight-passenger configuration, from East 34th Street to JFK and, later in the year, between both heliports and La Guardia and Newark. Flights will operate Monday through Friday, departing from the heliports on the hour and from the airports on the half-hour between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The operation will start with three helicopters but the company might add five more if the service catches on.
The road journey from Manhattan to the various NYC airports can take up to two hours. US Helicopter CEO Jerry Murphy predicts that more than 150,000 passengers will take advantage of the new service during the first year of operation.
US Helicopter plans a year-round service and has VFR and non-conflicting IFR procedures in place at the airports. The S-76B's limited icing clearance might prove a handicap, but pilot Craig Casucci–an 18-year veteran of the area–told HAI Convention News that pilots rarely encounter icing at the relatively low levels at which the service will operate.

There are no products for the condition you selected. Please make another selection.
This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and returned to us in
virtually new condition, however its packaging may not meet the standards set by
the factory. Also, it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. If you're looking
for a virtually new instrument in possibly less-than-perfect packaging, this is
a great value. We feel so strongly you'll like what you see, we're including our
60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories, to this used product making it a no-risk purchase.
Very Good: This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and shows few,
minor signs of use. In most respects it looks and performs like new and may be considered
equivalent to display units found in retail stores. Its packaging may not meet the
standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty.
Condition 2 products are a terrific value and you can buy with confidence knowing
our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories applies to this used product.
This instrument or product is in good working condition but has one or more cosmetic
flaws beyond those of a Condition 2 product. These flaws are typical of an instrument
or product that's seen normal wear and tear, including incidental scratches, chips,
dings, dents or other imperfections. It performs just as well as a Condition 1 or
Condition 2 instrument/product. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by
the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 3 is
a great choice if you're looking for performance and value and not as concerned
with cosmetics. You can buy with confidence knowing our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories
applies to this used product.
This instrument or product is not in working condition and needs repair, but can
be brought back to full functionality with replacement of parts or some skilled
repair work. If you are a do-it-yourselfer or know a skilled repair person this
is a terrific value. Condition 4 products are sold AS-IS: they do not come with
a manufacturer's warranty and are not returnable.

not returnable.
Accidental damage, normal wear and power surges are no longer an issue with these comprehensive and affordable plans. We even pay to ship your gear for repairs. More details.

I ordered the PW50, along with a Shure microphone (SM58) for my wife. It's a perfect pair.
This little PA system is very versatile - it has two independently controllable XLR and 1/4" input pairs, so I could, in theory, connect 2 mics and 2 guitars (for example) with each channel having separate volume and basic EQ.
The sound is adequate for a small room, and the system can be daisy chained for even more sound.
For the $$, this is a good deal.

Leveraged carry trade portfolios
AbstractStudying all possible pairs of eleven major currencies and eleven portfolios in 1976-2008 we show that, when there is no leverage, carry trade is significantly profitable for most currency pairs and portfolios. Positive returns do not diminish in time providing a strong case against the hypothesis of uncovered interest rate parity. We explain these findings with the leveraged nature of carry trade: leverage may increase profitability but it materially increases downside risk. We argue that market inefficiency is related to the level of leverage.

That cloud looks funny...
Posted on Fri, 21 Oct 2011 by Chris May
"The Cloud" - Probably the buzzword of the last couple of years but what is it?
Well The Cloud is a collective of machines; sometimes bare metal but normally virtual that pool their resources to provide space, speed and reliability.
This ability isn't new by any means and we in IT have had this function for years (A supercomputer is a cloud in a box). The ability of the cloud is actually very good, it's now common to build a server room with machines that all run virtual machines that are all self healing and as you need more capacity you simply add another box and the cloud "assimilates" it into the collective. Just like the diagrams you can have one cable plugging into the cloud and that's where all the magic happens and gives you back what you are after.
At the OTHER media we are working hard to produce our own cloud using open source software such as Linux, Xen, Gluster, Puppet and Spacewalk. At some point everyone will move onto another buzzword but The Cloud will live on.

Mechanism and Repository Study for the Red Cell Storage Duration Study
The purpose of the Mechanism and Repository Study (MARS) for the Red Cell Storage Duration Study is to examine the possible effects of the time of storage of red blood cells (RBCs) on how a participant¿s RBCs function, how fast and well a participant¿s blood clots, and how a participant¿s immune system works. We will do this by asking for some information, taking blood samples, and testing some of those samples at study laboratories. The study will also develop a large collection of blood samples for future testing related to the effect of RBC storage time on cardiac surgery patients who receive RBCs, to other laboratory predictors of cardiac surgery outcomes, and to differences between cardiac surgery patients and healthy volunteers. Participants in this study have previously agreed to participate in the research study called ¿Red Cell Storage Duration Study (RECESS)¿.

4 Biotech Stocks Under $10 Making Big Moves
Trius Therapeutics
Trius Therapeutics (TSRX) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of antibiotics for life threatening infections. This stock is trading up 5% to $5.97 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $5.71-$6.0652-Week Range: $4.71-$8.00 Volume: 278,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 191,044 >>5 Stocks Under $10 Poised for Breakouts From a technical perspective, TSRX is bouncing hard here right off its 50-day moving average of $5.65 with above average volume. This move has also pushed TSRX into breakout territory, since the stock has moved above some near-term overhead resistance at $5.95. Traders should now look for long-biased in TSRX as long as it's trending above its 50-day moving average with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 191,044 shares as bullish. If TSRX can maintain that trend, and especially continue to trend above $5.95, then this stock has a great chance of re-testing or possibly taking out its next major overhead resistance level at $6.49.

Heavy holiday
customer traffic is expected this weekend at Franklin Park Mall.
Folks are finally

a buying mood.

spending a lot," said Toni Pettaway.

There had been
predictions that retailers would not slash prices because of the quirk in the calendar,
but the opposite is happening.
"That's not
what we're seeing," said Julie Sanderson, of Franklin Park Mall. "Because of
one less week, they're trying to generate the same amount of revenue in four
weeks instead of five weeks. We're seeing these discounts to drive purchases."
Employees at J.

like to give things away but there is stuff that's coming up," said
Jennifer Bostleman.

customers traditionally wait until the last minute.
"I think a

said Bostleman.
The game plan
this weekend for retailers is to move out inventory through sales and
discounts. There's more stock waiting to move in for the following weekend.

What will be the best renewable source of energy in 2050?
As of now, we have Wind, Water, Solar, Geothermal, and many more. But as our technology changes and diversifies, do you think we will use completely different sources?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jul 27 2012: Solar panels in space, that broadcast the power down to earth by laser beam. The energy is limitless, and the ecological cost is practically zero.
Aeronautical engineers have discussed this idea in various formats since the 1940s, and most of the technology currently exists. Note that solar panels in space are twice as efficient as ones on the ground, because there is no night time in space. Also, due to zero gravity, the panels can be built orders of magnitude larger than anything that could be built on the ground.
If a secondary energy source was needed for some reason, I think the next best source will be liquid thorium fluoride reactors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_fluoride_thorium_reactor).
Jul 27 2012: Until you lose targeting and send a multi-megawatt beam across the land scape, setting fire to cities, fields, etc. You could do it in radio waves, but then you'll invisibly microwave everyone.
I think small-scale, sub-critical nuclear reactor like the Toshiba 4S or wave reactor are the ways to go.
Jul 30 2012: If you are taking solar energy over say 1 square kilometer and converting that into a beam that is10m across. You are talking about an energy density of about 10000 times that of sunlight. It doesn't matter what the frequency is, that level of energy per square metre is lethal.
Microwave relay stations are only harmless because they are very low power. If you climb to the top of a television braodcast tower while the signal is on it will kill and then cook you, and that's just a communication signal, not a power source!
Jul 27 2012: Here's the Wikipedia link regarding space-based solar power, which I forgot to include in my original post.
Aug 2 2012: On the Wiki page the energy density of the beam is 1/4 that of normal sunlight. So why go to the trouble of using PV to make electricity and converting that to microwave when you could just use a mirror to reflect the sunlight down to PV on Earth. This would be much cheaper and just as effective. Also if the beam is only as energy dense as sunlight the recievers would have to take up the same space as Earthbound PV for the same energy output. You may aswell cover the area with PV instead and put mirrors in space so the PV works at night.
