4 problems that pushed Oreck into bankruptcy
The vacuum cleaner company was struggling to compete against rivals with better marketing tactics and technology.
The Nashville, Tenn., company said it would continue operating as usual, but will use the bankruptcy protection to get its finances in order while it looks around for a buyer, according to The Tennessean.
Oreck has about 325 employees at its 96 retail stores, the newspaper reported. It also has 250 workers at its factory and about 70 employees at its corporate office.
How did things turn out so badly at Oreck? Based on this writeup in The Tennessean, here are four problems that hurt the company:
The direct sales model wasn't working. Where do you go to buy a vacuum? Wal-Mart (WMT) or Target (TGT), perhaps? Maybe Amazon.com (AMZN)? Not enough people thought about going to an Oreck store or calling the company directly.
The company didn't jump on bagless technology. Shoppers have been hot for bagless vacuums for years, especially after Britiain's James Dyson unveiled his popular line in the U.S. in 2002. It took more than a decade for Oreck to embrace bagless technology.
It clung to infomercials for too long. Oreck needed to modernize its advertising and marketing strategies, but it inexplicably stuck with late-night infomercials for a long time.
It looked like your grandma's vacuum. Oreck's designs were boxy and out of date. Only recently has the company unveiled sleeker, more modern models.
- Does McDonald's have plans for Charles Ramsey?
- Urban Outfitters' drug-themed line draws fire
- The shorter your name, the higher your pay?
One of the few if not the only American manufacturer of vacuum cleaners. The owner paid his employees while rebuilding after a hurricane and other good things. Oreck has seemed to be overpriced compared to the cheap Chinese manufactured products.
I hope they can come out of Chapter 11 or America will lose one more battle against the cheap Chinese products again.
Someone please tell me why to go bag less? At some point when you're done you need to empty all the dust and dirt into some kind of bag or trash can, and at that point you will have to breathe that dust and crap in..... It's a shame the company can't manage their finances, I have owned their product in the past and it worked quite well! Never understood bag less vacuums.
I have a Oreck that is over 7 years old and I wouldnt trade it for anything that is on the market today.
Its lightweight but powerful and easy to handle. I have tried the bagless vacuum cleaners and they really defeat the purpose when you go to empty the canister and the dust and dirt flies all through the air.
Sure hope Oreck can turn things around and try some different marketing approaches. Consumers would rather buy a cheap piece of crap at Wal-mart that they have to replace every 3 or 4 years than to pay a little more for something that will last a much longer time and have stores that will service them when they need repair or routine maintnance. My grandmother had a old Kirby vacuum cleaner and you couldnt break it if you tried. Its a different world now and everything is disposable.
...OK...here is a counterpoint for `bagless' vacuums. I had a very nice and very reliable and durable vacuum of the Montgomery Ward brand...can readers see where this going?...The vacuum still remains great, still with a metal body, but there are no `bags' available on the commercial market to fit it.

What to make of Dubai's debt woes
The Persian Gulf feels the fallout from the real-estate bubble.
Global financial markets were roiled after Dubai asked banks to allow its investment vehicle Dubai World to suspend for six months payments on debt of $59 billion. This comes as big bets on Persian Gulf real estate sour.
The first concern is a $3.5 billion payment on Sukuk (Islamic bond) from Dubai World's Nakheel unit due December 12 -- creditors may not accept a restructuring and credit rating agencies believe the move may quality as a technical default.
This puts at risk up to $80 billion in debt linked to the emirate and may very well result in the largest country debt default since Argentina in 2002. It also highlights concerns over the ability of governments to service their rapidly rising debt loads. Those on the hot seat include Greece and Japan. I wrote about these concerns in a previous post.
As traders return from the Thanksgiving holiday, stocks and commodities are weakening, risky credit is selling off, and the dollar and U.S. Treasury debt are rising as investors seek safe havens.
This behavior, tied to the increased prevalence of dollar-funded carry trades, is discussed in my column on the dollar (The dollar's down decade). The CBOE Volatility Index or "Fear Index" was up 26.5% at one point -- a jump of a magnitude that hasn't been seen since the depths of last fall credit crisis. According to Tim Backshall at Credit Derivatives Research credit markets are having their worst day since March 5.
European banks are believed to have the most exposure to Dubai's problems. But Asia, specifically Japan, is showing the most weakness given its precarious public debt position. In Friday trading, Tokyo's Nikkei stock index has moved down to its July low. If U.S. stocks were to follow, the Dow Industrials would be looking at a decline of 22%.
So is this the beginning of a new crisis? The team at Capital Economics in London doesn't believe it is: "Dubai's current problems are a long overdue consequence of the bursting of the global property bubble rather than the start of a new financial crisis. Nonetheless, they are a timely reminder that the legacy of past excesses in heavily-indebted economies will linger for many years to come."
My positions
Given today's light trading, I'm including to withhold final judgment on the move until next week. Dubai's debt default could, however, provide the catalyst needed to pull stocks lower given lackluster breadth and volume trends over the past few weeks. My portfolio at Wall Street Survivor remains heavily short and is up 27% this month compared to the 7% rise in the S&P 500.

After Breaking dawn, Something happens to Alice's Talent, after she went with Nahuel to learn more about half vampires, Edward and Bella are out in a field where they find something or someone that they didn't expect to find.
New Vampire
Chapter 1, The Return
As a human death is one of the scariest things, it is also the saddest thing when it happens to the ones you love. But as a vampire we never die of old age, of sickness or starvation, of thirst or sleep deprivation. We only have to worry about death until another vampire tries to kill us, or the Volturi decided that we have done something against their law, and would have to "remove us"
Two months ago, the Volturi accused us of creating an immortal child, this accusation was based on what a certain vampire named Irina thought she saw, my little Renesmee had been catching snowflakes, and I was watching her with Jacob, her protector and also a werewolf, normally the mortal enemy of vampires, but then again it wasn't exactly normal for a vampire to fall in love with a human. But that is what had happened Edward, my husband, my love, had fallen in love with me as a human, but that is a story I have already told.
I was lying on my bed as it seemed to relax me, and it helped with the thirst, we weren't allowed to hunt for at least another week, because the locals were starting to notice an unusual amount of forest life disappearing, Carlisle said that there was to be no more hunting, he also said that if any of us was "completely drained" we would have to drive at least 3-4 hours away. Even though some of us were getting Thirsty, none of us particularly liked the idea of having to drive that far and back thought we all did it usually in groups, so that we could have a record of where we went and how many animals we drank.
I heard a knock on the door, even though I already heard the footsteps coming I wasn't really concentrating on the thought pattern that listens and figures out who is coming, but once I heard that knock I knew it could only be one person, Alice. She had gone with Nahuel after bringing him here to reason with the Volturi about Nessie, She said she was going to keep learning about what they knew about Cross-breeds, she said she wouldn't be back for a while longer so something must have happened for her to comeback so early.
"Bella!" the tone of her voice both excited and worried, "where is everyone?"
"Calm down Alice, when I left everyone was at the house" this was starting to worry me why had she seemed so concerned about, I understood that she would want to see the family but the cottage is further than the house. "Alice, what are you so concerned about?"
"I...I couldn't see them, everyone's future but yours is blank, I thought they might have met up with Jacob or one of the other werewolves and they had transformed" I knew she could see what I was thinking and she already knew what I was going to say. "The wolves all went down south because of what has been happening" Immediately I knew the question would arrive on her face at any moment, why? So I answered for her.
"The people around town have been noticing a decrease in the forest animal population so the wolves decided to leave just in case people started searching the woods for possibly large, dangerous creatures, the asked us to not hunt here for a few weeks" she was shocked by this but eventually calmed down to a point that was not possible without exterior help. "Jasper I know you are here so can you come out so Alice will stop freaking out!"
Jasper has the ability to control the emotions of others, he is the only one I know that can do that so I knew it was him. "Alice! Good to see you back here", Jasper said it in the most excited voice that anyone could ever use. "Good to see you to Bella" Alice shot me a 'what look', I shot her back a 'tell you late look' "Jasper, I need to ask you a question" Alice spoke with her face just as confused as before "Where were you just before" she already had an answer but looked like she wanted to make sure. "I was at the main house, then I heard your footsteps going towards the cottage, I can't say it didn't make me sad knowing you went to Bella first but I guess this explains it."
"So I can assume you heard all of it?" No point explaining it all again, "yeah" he replied, Well now we have a problem, since Alice isn't able to see the families future, "so, shall we go to the house I think people will want to see you again, and we should probably tell them all that your Talent is playing up" Best to get her back to the house, where Carlisle can help with whatever is going on. "OK, let's go" exclaimed Alice.
We set off at a nice "vampire" jog, anxious to talk to everyone but in no hurry, Alice continued to ask about what happened after she left, most answers were mostly "not really, yes, no" and all were good responses, we got to the drive way and knew everyone would be eagerly waiting the surprising arrival of Alice. Inside everyone was quiet and paying attention, except Edward who had obviously already read Alice's and Jasper's mind, I ran up ran up to him and pecked him on the Lips, then we left the house for a jog up to a meadow we had found a couple of weeks ago, while on a hunt.
"So by that look on you face I would assume that you are already trying to figure out why Alice can only see my future and no one else's" I stated knowingly, he was staring out into the sky watching a small Dark blue winged butterfly, travel from one leaf to the next, "Yes, as soon as Alice came into range I knew and had been thinking about it, until I saw you again" I hadn't been completely truthful to Alice, indeed the last time I left the main house everyone had been there, though that had been around a week ago. No matter how much I loved Edward and I loved my family, ever since I became a vampire I had barely any time to myself, it may have been the Volturi or Renesmee being born I just wanted a week to relax and enjoy things by myself. "Has you break ended yet, Love?" Of course it had after seeing Edward again it would be hard to want more free time, I responded by grabbing his head and kissing him, this was one of the things that I could never dislike, his firm lips touching mine sent electricity through my body as it always did, "Well it's good to have you back" Our kiss broke when we heard running footsteps, too light to be our age but ones that we had never heard before.
Please tell me what you think, feed back would be greatly appreciated. So far i have not written the second chapter, but will if people want me to. Just for everyone to know that there is probably only going to be two new characters, i won't say anything apart from that. Again Please leave feedback and thank you for reading.

Thanks for the feedback
Will be posting soon, may have the day off tomorrow if so i'll have plenty of time to write Chapter 2
I couldn't stay away, normally I have trouble writing, making characters and the plot. But it felt good to write this so here, two in one day. By the way this Chapter introduces Both new characters, just wanted to give you a little heads up
Chapter 2
Running today was horrible, no matter how relaxing running feels it doesn't change that I'm not running because i want to relax, I'm running from her
"Who… Who are you?" I asked, shocked to see one of the most beautiful woman I had ever seen standing at my doorstep. "My name is Elissa", that name, I've heard it before, maybe just someone I met a while ago "may I come in?" She responded in a quiet but confident voice, even though this was a complete stranger I had never met before she felt so friendly instantaneously "yes, Please come in" she walked inside and walked over to one of the white couches in my living room. "So may I ask who most graciously let me into their house" understandable I knew her name why not let her know mine? "Elizabeth… Elizabeth Collins"
"What a fine name, now may I ask you some questions?" I nodded, she bombarded me with questions, shockingly so considering I should have been the one 'interrogating' her. "So, why do you live by yourself?" Great she just had to go there, I burst out into tears, she got to me with inhuman speed "It's alright, I can see that it is a sensitive topic feel no need to go further" once I stopped crying I made a deal with myself, You have to do this but can stop at any point.
"No, I need to get it out" I sat back into a more comfortable position and wiped away the last of the tears "Well, when I was Fourteen my parents kicked me out of my home because of my 'sexual orientation' I had to then survive on my own, still going to school surviving on the meagre amount of money I could make from some jobs that I found, when I turned Fifteen I left my school because I couldn't pay for it anymore, I managed to actually do quite well for myself, house and all. But it's something that I can't ever let go, I don't regret being what I am I just hate the fact that my parents regretted having me" I burst into tears again, and again the woman helped comfort me.
"The worst part is that I'll never be able to go to a college, I'm stuck with working at jobs that don't need an education" She almost seemed like a worried parent, just for one moment "How old are you?" she asked very careful not wanting me to burst into tears again "Fifteen and 7 months"
We talked about a lot of things after that, some made me burst out with laughter other would have me crying again. Eventually she said she needed to leave, but not before putting a envelope on the table next to the door "What's that?" curious as to what she had put there "open it after I leave, okay" she walked in front of the door and gave me a hug, although it did hang a bit too long than most people would like, I'm not complaining. "Sorry" why would she be saying sorry? "Why..." Than ecstasy, then pain, burning pain, stabbing pain, growing pain. It felt like my body was killing me the source the most painful my neck, all I could see was me falling her running then black.
Lying in front of my door in pain so much pain, off and on in different loads. The third day came and I could finally stand up and bare the way my body felt, that is until I managed to get near a couch and literally toppled over into it. Aching proceed for two more days, until the only thing that burnt was my throat it burnt like crazy but I managed to make it over to the door to get the letter, It reads
Dear Elizabeth Collins,
I am sorry for all the pain I have put you in if you have not already realized what you are than I will tell you…
You are a vampire
Do not worry, you'll be safe just don't go outside when people are around, even though you may hope you can control your thirst, you will have to wait until at least a year until your 'newborn' phase has dissipated, please stay at your house as much as possible, but you won't burn to death if you step outside! Just be careful because if anyone sees you while you are in the sunlight it will be obvious what you are, if you have to drink before I can comeback I trust your judgement on the people you choose. I hope to comeback two weeks after we met, give or take a few days.
Mrs Fellmere, D.O.B 1763, D.O.R.B (Date of Re-birth) 1784.
I didn't know what to do, but there was one place I didn't want to be. Here, I grabbed some paper and wrote
Dear, Elissa Fellmere
I don't think there I can give a correct response to this but know this, I may not be able to forgive you for a hundred decades for what you have done, even though I am thankful. I will leave here and get away from this house, not only because I know people here but I know that you will come back and I don't want to see you again.
Elizabeth Collins, D.O.B 1992, D.O.R.B 2008
It's the best I could do, I quickly gathered a few things trying to get used to basically taking a step and then appearing on the other side of the room, so I got a suitcase with just a few things, clothes, hairbrush, shoes and sunglasses. I picked it up and walked out of my house and into the forest that surrounded my house, good thing too it was a thick forest with barely anywhere that would expose light. I went off at a gait never looking back.
*End Flashback*
It was worrying to know that in only a few days' time Elissa would get back to my house find my letter and try to follow my scent to where I was, I hoped that I could get enough distance between her and myself, so that she wouldn't be able to follow.
After an hour or two I picked up a scent, no two scents strong and fragrant and nothing like I had smelled before. I ran to it, thinking even if it was dangerous I could handle it with my vampire strength and agility. I started noticing the trees were clearing out a bit, and stopped I could hear two things breathing, but it didn't sound right like something that computer would make, close but not exact, it seemed to not be needed just something that was happening, I made the connections, vampires.
Being excited because I would be able to meet new vampires, then again maybe they would kill me for trespassing on their land or something. I kept walking, and found a large that I could hide behind, I kept thinking, are they vampires? Then they must be vampires then back. Then I heard someone speak "Yes, Yes we are vampires" It was so loud that even a human could of heard it from this distance.
Again it would be great for feedback, Thanks for ready. See you soon
Also looking forward to chapter 3, excited for what im going to write
New vampire(s)? Sounds intriguing. I hope Bella is well-rested and ready to face new people and new situations. What is going on with Alice's talent, or is there something else that influenced the "visibility" of the Cullens while Bella was away, and where are Renesmee and the wolves?
I definitely wat to read more.
Guessing already?
Thanks for the feed back, its already interesting to see what people think
This one is a little shorter than the others, but i'm sure you guys will enjoy.
Chapter 3
A scent came, Strong, fresh, new… It must be a newborn "What's it thinking?" I asked "She, keeps on thinking are they vampires? They must be vampires" Edward spoke as if channeling her thoughts to me. "Yes, yes we are vampires" he spoke very clearly but also very loudly. Suddenly she stepped out into the open, she was Beautiful even by vampire standards. She looked no more than fifteen or sixteen, 5 ft 6, Long Blonde hair and a slender body, her eyes were the blackest I had seen she must have not drank for a week. "Thirsty…." Her form collapsed onto the ground, we ran over to her "Can a vampire faint?" I asked, incredibly scared. "No she must be a newborn, she probably couldn't bear the thought of taking someone's life so she probably hasn't had a drink at all.
"We have to get her home, Carlisle will know what to do" Would Carlisle know what to do? Is it too late for her? "Bella stay here with her, I'll go get Carlisle, maybe you can try and get a Deer and bring it here so we will have it if we need it" OK, checklist, deer, here, Edward gets Carlisle. "OK, come back quickly" I kissed him and he sped off.
I ran around looking for a heard of deer around here, I found a small group. Three adults, two foals. In a second I had grabbed the largest of the herd and snapped its neck. Proud of such a clean kill I ran back to the girl, I made it a minute or two before Carlisle and Edward returned, despite the fact that she may be dead she seemed content almost like she was finally safe from something, just a passing though. "Bella thank you for getting the deer, she hasn't had a drink since she was turned" He pressed part of the deer to her mouth and got forced her to bite down on it, immediately her eyes turned a white-gold colour. Carlisle did this until she had finished the whole deer, her eyes now a sharp refreshed gold colour and seemed less distant.
An hour later she woke up from her sleep, I was watching her with Emmett and Rose, and she stood up and immediately tried to run Emmett quickly grabbed her and tried stopping her from running away but with her newborn speed and strength she smashed through him, I followed behind her and managed to grab and restrain her with the tiny amount of newborn blood still in my veins. "Let me go, let me go!" great not only was she trying to escape but doesn't even want us to explain "calm down, Jasper! Just relax we saved your life" Jasper came from upstairs and instantly the entire room calmed down, "Who are you, Where am I?" Great, say you saved someones life and all the do is ask you who you are and where they are. "You are on the outskirts of forks, in our house" By her face it was easy to tell that she had never heard of forks before, and 'our house' didn't exactly help with her process of figuring out where she was. "May we ask you name, or whom you were bitten by?"
"My uh… My name Is Elizabeth Collins, all I know of the vampire that turned me was her name, Elissa Fellmere" Great someone we don't know, but by the looks of Esme and Carlisle might have been someone they met. "Well could you tell us your story?" She looked reluctant and worried but started "It all started eleven days ago, when Elissa Fellmere knocked on my door…" she continued her story, but at certain points she seemed hesitant, possibly some bad memories from her human life. "Well we have a spare room you can stay here as long as like, as long as you follow our one rule, we have human friends here and we do like to live in one place. You can't hunt humans, you must hunt animals" Carlisle spoke with authority, Elizabeth's face was shocked but went to a more pleasantly surprised look.
Hope you guys enjoyed, Will try to post daily. Don't hold me to it though.
Anyway Drop some Feedback as it is awesome to see new readers.
It looks as if Elizabeth has trust issues after everything that happened to her, but maybe she will fit in with the Cullens. Now for the big question: who is Elizabeth Fellmere and why did she change Elizabeth?
Bring on Capter 4! :-)
Chapter 4 will be out soon,
If anyone is wondering where Renesmee is don't worry she is safe, just couldn't have her there for a bit.
Not sure with Elizabeth, But i'm sure you'll love The answer to your last two questions
Hope your enjoying!

Asian American Literature Poetry Videos
The videos on this channel have all been produced by students of Asian American Literature (ICS 24 and ELIT 24) at De Anza College in Cupertino, California.
Asian American Literature at De Anza College is unique for a number of reasons. First of all, almost everyone who takes this course is of Asian or mixed-Asian descent. This fact profoundly influences the dynamics of the course. "Asian Americans" are not simply the object of study; rather, most of the participants in the course are themselves directly involved in producing Asian America, and all participants in the course participate in producing Asian American Literature. Secondly, De Anza College is one of the few places where Ethnic Studies remains strong. Ethnic Studies at De Anza College is housed in the department of Intercultural Studies, and along with World Languages and International Studies it forms the division of International and Intercultural Studies. Like every Ethnic Studies formation in the US, Intercultural Studies has had to ward off repeated threats to its existence. However, ICS has at De Anza College managed to become central to the life of the campus and the experiences of many of its students of color. The relative strength of Ethnic Studies at De Anza allows students and faculty the necessary space to grow and develop without continually fending off attacks. Finally, De Anza College is located in Silicon Valley, a region that is a major hub of migration between Asia and the US. The growth of the Asian American population in the region served by De Anza College has been symbiotic with the growth of Silicon Valley. The region during the 1980s and 1990s attracted many people of Asian descent because of the availability of jobs in engineering and electronics assembly. Meanwhile, from that time to the present Asian Americans have captured a great deal of political power and influence within the region. The Asian Pacific American Leadership Institute housed at De Anza College has been a crucial institutional site for building this political power.
Fall 2013
In the Fall of 2013 the Asian American Literature course focused on the production of poetry videos. During the first part of the quarter the class surveyed videos of Asian American poets reciting their poems, and every student in the class wrote at least one poem. During the second part of the quarter students made videos as groups, and each of the videos feature poems written by students in the class.
The poems for this quarter are not the politically-charged poems that the discipline of Asian American Studies demands. Despite the efforts of the instructor, the poems do not directly address problems of race, class, sexuality and/or gender in relation to Asian Pacific American communities. However, this does not mean that the poems are apolitical. The poems contain, very broadly, concern for the people. Not just the people who ride in G-6s, not just superstars, idols, and icons. Rather, the poems all articulate conflicts that actual Asian Americans at De Anza must face.
The students in the class identified two themes that several of the poems share. First, several of the poems articulate homesickness. Many of the students had recently come from abroad, and many of their poems depicted the adjustments they needed to make as they began to study at De Anza. Several second-generation students described the experience of having divided families, with families separated by the Pacific Ocean and parents who are looking back towards Asia.
The second theme that several of the students identified is the theme of the "American Dream" and the US as the "Land of Opportunities." This theme is closely connected to De Anza, which has an exceptional transfer rate to four-year universities. Many students saw themselves or their classmates within a narrative in which they or their families moved to the US from Asia in order to pursue education and the acquisition of a good job. De Anza as an institution places itself within this narrative--De Anza is a place that provides a good chance for students to move on to a prestigious four-year university. Students, like their families, might encounter struggles, but they hope to overcome them in order to achieve success. This narrative of the "American Dream" is very powerful, but it is also very problematic. Future iterations of this class will need to address the complexities and problems that arise from this narrative, which is sometimes discussed in Asian American Studies courses in terms of Model Minority discourse.
The most prominent aesthetic problem that students grappled with is a problem central to the discipline of Asian American Studies itself. How would students create a single video that would adequately represent the diversity of the people who produced the video? The solutions varied. In some cases, students as a group wrote an entirely new poem; in some cases, students included poems written by each member in the group; in some cases, students decided to select one or a subset of poems written by members of the group.
In future iterations of this class, students should become more conscious of three sets of aesthetic decisions:

Out of curiosity, what does it really take to earn the Pundit badge? I know what the description says, but only see that two people have earned it. I know there are a great deal more than two people that have left more than 10 comments. So what does it really take to earn that badge?

maybe the comments have to be political?

@Kev Riley Yes, Thomas earned it a bit ago, but from the activity it is difficult to confirmn whether 10 comments per thread assessment is correct
Oct 04, 2010 at 02:39 PM Oleg
we can raise it with the admins and/or OSQA guys...sorry as a mod I don't have that much power!

The pundit badge is 10 comments overall. I believe that's different of how it worked on SX, but this was created before we even had the concept of score on comments. The thing is, whoever had more than 10 comments at export time never got the badge.
answered Oct 07, 2010 at 06:28 PM
@hernani Do you mean upvoted 10 comments? I became a user of the site before the move, and I surely had more than 10 comments I left, but it is possible that I did not use "I like this comment" feature 10 times yet at the time. This is why I was surprised when one day I was greeted with the message that I have earned a pundit badge because it is described as "left 10 comments". If left 10 comments means used "I like this comment" feature 10 times then it might make sense. This is why we only have but 3 users who earned this badge.
Oct 07, 2010 at 07:08 PM Oleg
Thing is hernani said that if you had already written 10 or more comments before the move to OSQA then you would not get the badge?

@CirqueDeSQLeil - I actually read it as 'if you had 10 comments when we moved then you will never get the badge' - I guess it's not clear... :/

Oct 12, 2010 at 03:42 AM Camassey ♦♦
I believe that it means 10 comments per single thread, which could be either question or answer. This will explain why not too many people have it.
answered Oct 04, 2010 at 02:33 PM
would that mean that the question is a separate thread and each single answer is a separate thread?
Oct 04, 2010 at 02:42 PM CirqueDeSQLeil
@CirqueDeSQLeil This is very difficult to deduce from examining activity. Looks like this question has become a great brain teaser. Lets see if anyone can figure out correct answer to this one :)

@CirqueDeSQLeil I remember when I received it I was kinda surprised as the message congratulating me with getting the bagde did not really coinside with my commenting activity at that time. Usually, when we get the badge, the info message becomes available right away.

10 comments in one thread seems incredibly excessive. Its rare to see 10 comments total in a thread here, much less 10 by one person.

they've been working on it a lot judging from their comments on meta - but i must say i haven't seen a lot change - for example the editor has had chrome 6 issues for about a month...is anyone else slightly frustrated?

Charlie Kimball overtook Simon Pagenaud at the end of the long backstretch on Lap 73 of 90 and went on to win the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio for his first IZOD IndyCar Series victory.
The Camarillo, Calif., native is the ninth different winner in 14 races this season and the fourth first-time winner. In the previous five seasons, there were five total first-time winners. Four different teams were represented in the top five.
"It's nice when the team gives you such a great car," said Kimball, who started fifth in the Honda-powered No. 83 NovoLog FlexPen Chip Ganassi Racing car on the 2.258-mile, 13-turn road course. "All I needed to do was to hit the lap times they needed me to."Charlie Kimball, IndyCar, Mid-Ohio

Montezemolo Lays Down The Law
Posted by Adam Cooper at 9:36 am
Luca di Montezemolo says that Ferrari can still bounce back in 2013 – and has made it clear once again that Fernando Alonso has to remember that the team has priority.
Montezemolo was speaking in a lengthy interview with Italy's Corriere della Sera, which was republished on the Ferrari website.
"Fernando is a great driver and I understand him; he is a bit like me – he wants to win," said Montezemolo. "He must just remember that one wins and loses together, and for its part, Ferrari must give him a car capable of starting from the front two rows.
"It doesn't sit well with me seeing our car is not competitive. That's why I intervened, even if I didn't want to abuse my authority over my men. However, it had to be done. But how? We started so well, we had begun the World Championship with a very competitive car, maybe even considered the best. But something happened, and instead of moving forward we went backwards.Felipe Massa, Fernando Alonso, Ferrari, Formula 1, Luca di Montezemolo

Aaron Rodgers a champion for MACC Fund, kids with cancer
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been a highly visible and active advocate for the MACC Fund for the last several years. Whether he is serving as a spokesman on television ads or as a host for a key event, like his annual "An Evening with Aaron Rodgers," the Super Bowl MVP has taken the MACC Fund to a new level, said Jon McGlocklin, President and co-founder.
"It's been tremendous to have his support," McGlocklin said. "Not just in fundraising, but his endorsement and his engagement has been a blessing to us because of his high profile in Wisconsin and athletics as a whole. You don't often get people to weigh in with that type of commitment. Here's a guy who has completely thrown in with our cause."
Oct. 30, 2013 College News - Teamwork is in the DNA of the MACC Fund (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer, Inc.), which engages thousands of volunteers and donors in its mission to help kids with cancer and was founded, incidentally, during halftime of a Milwaukee Bucks game. Teamwork is also at the heart of the research the MACC Fund supports, which succeeds through the powerful partnership of the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
The MACC Fund continues to energize the efforts of MCW physicians and scientists dedicated to eliminating pediatric cancer and related blood disorders through its annual support of the College's MACC Fund Research Center. This year, the MACC Fund pledged more than $1.74 million for research at MCW.
"We really represent the essence of partnership," said Marcio H. Malogolowkin, MD, Professor of Pediatrics and Chief of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at MCW and Medical Director of the MACC Fund Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders at Children's Hospital. "We are academic faculty practicing in an excellent children's hospital, and the MACC Fund through its generosity, solidifies our effort."
To capitalize on the strengths and expertise among partners, Dr. Malogolowkin said the pediatric cancer research team is prioritizing several areas of focus that have the potential to most significantly benefit patients and their families.
The discovery and testing of new drug therapies will be a strong emphasis, increasing the availability of clinical trials for patients. The effort is aided by the MACC Fund Center's designation as a Phase 1 Center in the Children's Oncology Group, something only 20 other centers in the country can claim.
By developing new therapeutic approaches here and engaging more researchers in pediatric cancer investigations, MCW will create more opportunities for local patients, especially those with high-risk cancers, to access alternative therapies.
Investigation of cellular therapies will also increase with this effort, as researchers expand their understanding of the immune system. Although bone marrow transplant is the most common and effective immune therapy for many cancers, it carries substantial risks and complications. New strategies to direct immune cells to selectively kill cancer will improve disease control and reduce transplant-related complications, resulting in longer, healthier lives for pediatric cancer patients.
The pediatric cancer program also means to make personalized cancer therapy routinely available for patients. MCW's and Children's leading expertise in genetics will be leveraged as the team plans to apply DNA analysis to all cancer patients to provide more effective and safer therapies while collecting data to better understand individual variability in disease control and complications. When warranted, whole genome sequencing may be employed to identify potential therapeutic targets in patients where obvious best therapies are not known.
"These areas of emphasis give us opportunities to offer therapies for patients and families for whom initial therapy doesn't work," Dr. Malogolowkin said. "Instead of leaving loved ones and their home for alternative rescue therapy, we will be developing them here and making them safer, so patients won't have to travel outside their community for the best therapeutic option."
Advances such as these provide motivation for the MACC Fund, which has dedicated 36 years to giving hope to children fighting cancer. Since its founding, the MACC Fund has contributed more than $35 million to MCW in support of pediatric cancer and blood disorders research. This summer, the organization additionally awarded $10 million to Children's Hospital for the MACC Fund Center.
The MACC Fund raises the lion's share of its funds through events — about 75 annually today — and the organization's co-founder and President, Jon McGlocklin, believes that the personal engagement that accompanies fundraising events, as well as their laudable cause, has helped keep involvement high, even during an economic downturn.
"The banner we're carrying is so significant that no people turned away," McGlocklin said. "We raise the majority of funds through events, and I think people still participate in events because it's enjoyable for them while also helping someone else. It's an everyday goal to keep raising awareness and dollars to give to the wonderful people at the Medical College to find cures and improve treatment protocols."
That shared vision is what makes the partnership strong.
"The MACC Fund is a presence in the lives of children with cancer. The volunteers and staff know exactly who they are fighting for. They have met them, laughed with them, cried with them, and realize how important new tools and treatments are," said John R. Raymond, Sr., MD, President and CEO of MCW. "The Medical College of Wisconsin is very proud that we are on the same team."

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A bill passed by the Minnesota Senate provides immunity for drug users who overdose and those who call 911 for help.
But the legislation has run into some opposition from law enforcement officials and prosecutors who fear the immunity provision could protect drug dealers and other criminals.
The bill which generated little debate Tuesday in the Senate allows first responders and law enforcement officers to administer Narcan, a drug that quickly counteracts the effects of a heroin overdose. The legislation was proposed in response to the growing number of heroin overdoses in the state.
Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek says the provision offering immunity goes "too far to the other side" and that he may not have his deputies carry the lifesaving drug as a result, the Star Tribune (http://strib.mn/1ejueIJ ) reported.
"We got into this for the right reason, which was to save lives," he said of his initial support for the bill. "We did not get into this to save lives and get immunity for everyone."
The Minnesota County Attorneys Association plans to attempt to intervene before the bill goes to the House. Prosecutors say they would consider granting immunity in lower-level drug cases, but not across the board.
The bill is similar to one signed into law last year that protects underage drinkers who call 911 to report a medical emergency, as long as they're the first person to make a report, provide contact information and remain at the scene to cooperate with authorities.

Now, we know we have already seen two concepts- FT-86 and FT-86 II - for this vehicle, but will have to endure one more as Toyota has brought us yet another FT-86 concept. This time it has been revealed at the New York Auto Show under the Scion badge and it won't go into production until Toyota finally brings their production version later this year at the Tokyo Motor Show. The Scion FR-S Concept is a preview version of a new model coming to the Scion brand next year.
"Scion is always experimenting with new things," said Jack Hollis, Scion vice president. "The brand is iconic with the xB, adrenalized by the tC, and groundbreaking with the iQ. The FR-S will expand the brand into yet another new dimension that I know it is truly destined for."
Like with the other Toyota model, the Scion model is being inspired by the AE86 generation of the Corolla, better known as the Hachi-Roku, meaning "8-6" in Japanese. The concept is being built on a rear-wheel-drive platform and is powered by a 2.0-liter boxer front engine that can be mated with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission.
UPDATE 04/28/2011: Toyota has revealed a new video showing off the Scion FR-S concept's revving engine. The sound should be the same or very similar for all three Scion FR-S / Toyota -Subaru FT-86 cars since they will all feature the same Boxer engine and exhaust setup. Hit the jump for the video.
UPDATE 05/20/2011: Testing is still underway for the Scion FR-S, and while it was circling the track, spy photographers were able to get a shot of the newly fitted and massive wing attached to the back. Seems a little exaggerated to us, but hey, we've waited so long to see this car in action that we will take just about anything they throw at us at this point. Check out the video after the jump.
UPDATE 06/24/2011: Scion has unveiled a new video of their latest FR-S concept in which Ken Gushi - a resident Scion Racing driver - talks about about the Scion FR-S concept car and what it means to him. For those that don't recognize the name, Gushi started his driving career in the iconic Toyota AE86 also known as the "hachiroku". The AE86 is important because the FR-S is modeled after the prime drifting vehicle.
UPDATE 11/10/2011: SEMA may be all about tuning projects, but next to a bunch of updated iQs, Scion also took the opportunity to show us the FR-S Concept. Check out the gallery to see all of the live images from the show.
Hit the jump to read more about the Scion FR-S Concept.
Spy Video of the FR-S' New Rear Wing by FT86Club
The Scion FR-S Revving its Engine
Exterior and Interior
The concept on display at the New York Auto Show is shown in a bright Code Red exterior paint and displays the profile inspired by the Toyota 2000 GT. The hoodline dips low and then opens up at the vehicle's wide mouth and angular headlights featuring bright LED clusters. Overall, the sharp lines of the concept reveal a clean design and not at all what we expected when we heard Toyota was giving this prized piece over to Scion.
As low as the front dips, the back of the car perks up like it is being ready to be kissed. The extensive lower treatments add a certain amount of get-down-and-dirty as it frames the dual exhaust pipes. Further funk is illustrated by the sharp taillights with LED lights and that unmistakable "SCION" logo.
The final touch is made by a new set of massive monoblock Five Axis wheels, size 20x8.5-inch front and 20x10.5-inch at the rear. The wheels are combined with four-piston-caliper front brakes and 18-inch annular carbon ceramic matrix rotors attached to the wheels à la motorcycle style.
Under the hood, Scion has placed the same 2.0-liter front boxer engine combined with a rear-wheel drive system. This engine is set up lower and further back to provide a lower center of gravity. This 2.0L Boxer engine is the first boxer to incorporate Toyota's D4-S injection system, an addition that results in both direct and port injection. All this means is that the FR-S will get increased horsepower and torque without having to deal with the loss of fuel efficiency, a big plus when dealing with these mounting gas prices.
The engine can be mated to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission controlled by steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
When Can I Buy One?
As Scion announced at the New York Auto Show, a production version will follow next year. Expect to pay around $25K for Scion's interpretation of the FT-86, which matches what Toyota's version is rumored to cost.
The future Scion FR-S will surely have competitors on the market, namely Subaru's interpretation of the Toyobaru project. While both models will share the same boxer engine, Subaru's will also have an STI version powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-4 engine with an output of about 300 HP.
Models like the Nissan 370Z will also cater to some competition as the production version of the Scion figures to aim itself in that direction as well. The 370Z gets a 3.7 liter V6 engine with an output of 332 HP at 7,000 rpm and 270 lb-ft of torque at 5,200 rpm. It is on sale with a starting price of $30K. All that aside, if the FR-S production version looks anything like the concept, then faithful Nissan customers may have good reason to look elsewhere.
- Looks amazing in red
- Impressive look
- A 2.0 liter boxer engine
- We are tired of waiting for the production version

Wilton Manors police are searching for a man who forced his way into a local woman's home demanding money Wednesday afternoon, then beat and sexually assaulted her.
The attack happened on Northwest Ninth Terrace at about 2:30 p.m., and the man fled on foot toward Powerline Road, according to a police news release.
Police do not believe he was armed, said Wilton Manors police spokesman Shawn Chadwick.

Kelowna News
Flight, fight no delight
A 39-year-old Kelowna man is cooling his heels behind bars awaiting what could be a laundry list of charges following an incident Monday evening.
Police say events began to unravel sometime before 9 p.m. when officers working the downtown core noticed a prolific offender complete an apparent drug transaction and pick up a known sex trade worker.
The man had been circling the area for some time gaining the attention of police.
Police followed the man and observed his driving become erratic and dangerous - nearly causing multiple accidents as he drove through red lights and failed to stop at stop signs.
"The man was known to have previously fled from marked police vehicles so he was followed to a rural area before any stop was initiated," says Cst. Kris Clark.
"The man fled from the stop and was pursued into a nearby orchard in East Kelowna. During his flight the man damaged three unmarked police vehicles including one by reversing into the front end."
A struggle ensued and police used a Taser to subdue the man.
The suspect received medical attention for minor injuries he received during the arrest.
He remains in custody facing multiple charges including Dangerous Operation Of A Motor Vehicle, Flight From Peace Officer, Fail To Remain at the Scene of an Accident, Assault Peace Officer x 3 and Possession of a Controlled Substance.
The suspect was expected to appear in Court later today (Tuesday).

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Oscar-nominated film "Beasts of the Southern Wild" has been given Michelle Obama's ringing endorsement.
The first lady played host Wednesday at a White House workshop for about 80 middle and high school students from the District of Columbia and New Orleans, where the movie was set. Students saw the film, then got to question castmembers and the director.
Bing: 'Lincoln' DVDs will be sent to schools
Mrs. Obama said she saw "Beasts" over the summer and considers it one of the most powerful and important movies released in a long time.
The film tells the mythical tale of a 6-year-old girl named Hushpuppy, struggling to survive in the southern Delta with her ailing father as a storm approaches. Her world consists of a small but tight-knit shantytown community on the bayou with wild animals, both real and imagined.

The officers and managers at the business searched the property for the second suspect. He was found by a sheriff's deputy, slowly freezing atop a parked semi trailer. The company provided a ladder and the suspect was helped off the truck into the warm back seat of a deputy's car. A personal use quantity of heroin and meth was impounded from the arrestee's hiding spot.
April 1, 9:42 a.m.:
Blaine Police responded to Customs and Border Protection at the Peace Arch Crossing when Customs officers found that a traveler was hiding a personal use amount of cocaine. The officer investigated and arrested the Burnaby, B.C. resident for possession of a controlled substance and booked him into jail.
April 1, 4:19 p.m.:
A neighborhood resident reported having a disagreement with the occupants of the vehicles parked on his property. Officers arrived and found many vehicles parked densely but legally on city right of way, and advised the caller of their finding. Police also contacted the home base of the fleet of parked cars, and found that a funeral reception was taking place at the house. No further police action was taken.
April 1, 6:30 p.m.:
Police were called when two foul phone messages were discovered on the municipal court's messaging system. A man used creatively foul and abusive language during this recorded diatribe but forgot to leave a callback number. The disorderly conduct was documented in the event that the caller is identified.
April 1, 7:29 p.m.:
A resident answered a knock on her front door to find a teenager standing on her porch complaining of having been punched in the face. The homeowner was asking the boy if he wanted the police called when another teen in red gang style clothing approached and talked to the first teen, and the two walked off together. It wasn't clear whether the two were conspiring in a ruse to get into the house, or being obnoxious, but they succeeded in the obnoxious part. Officers searched the area but found no one matching the suspects' descriptions.
April 2, 10:21 a.m.:
Police were dispatched to a report of a theft of gas and a container from a resident's property on Madison Avenue. A theft event report was made and police contacted possible suspects in the taking.

Officers searched the area but did not find the hobnobbing hobos.
April 2, 6:35 p.m.:
A sharp-eyed witness called police when he spotted people stealing a compressor motor from a neighboring business on Grant Avenue. Officers investigated and found one adult and one teenager unloading the 300-lb. piece of equipment from their borrowed pickup truck at a site down the road. They also found a female suspect hiding nearby, and it turned out she was protected from her partner in crime by a no contact order. Arrests were made, the recovered equipment was returned to its owner, and one Bellingham resident was booked into jail for theft and violation of a domestic violence no contact order.
April 2, 6:35 p.m.:
Police investigating another incident found witnesses and security camera video that documented a woman driving a vehicle while her Washington state driver's status was suspended. The 40-year-old Birch Bay resident was arrested, cited and released pending a mandatory court appearance.
April 2, 9 p.m.:
Police responded to a report of several dogs habitually barking in a residential neighborhood on 8th Street. An officer located the problem canines, identified their residence and contacted their owner. He acknowledged the officers' admonition that future barking complaints would result in citations being issued.
April 3, 2:28 a.m.:
Police were dispatched when a lady called to demand that her boyfriend leave their motel room for the night. Officers arrived and learned that the woman had become incensed upon finding her loved one using his cell phone to visit a dating site. The boyfriend's base instincts apparently included the desire for self-preservation, as he had fled of his own prior to police arrival.
April 3, 8:42 a.m.:
A concerned passerby called police to report that while she was out for a walk she noticed a window open on a long-vacant house in a residential neighborhood. Officers investigated to find if the house had suffered a break-in. They were happy to report back to the caller that the house had been recently purchased and folks working on the sale had opened the window.
April 3, 2:55 p.m.:
Officers responded to a report of a fight in progress outside a house in a residential area, and found an assault victim who declined to assist police in their investigation. They learned that the man had been standing in his yard when a young adult looking like a troublemaker walked by, called the victim names and then punched him in the jaw. The homeowner fought the scoundrel off, who then ran off trailed by several other young men of similar ilk. Officers searched the area for the suspects without success.
April 3, 6:50 p.m.:
While checking the security of the city water tank in Lincoln Park an officer found several areas where the perimeter fence's security had been compromised by people repeatedly climbing over its top.

April 3, 6 p.m.:
A gentleman called to let officers know that a child at Salishan Park had thrown a rock at a telephone pole, missed and accidentally cracked the windshield of his car.

The victim and the child's parent had gotten together and had arranged for payment for the repairs.
April 4, 2:28 p.m.:
A man attempted travel to Canada on foot. Canadian immigration denied the man's request to cross the border. The man made his way back to the Blaine Police department.

An officer transported the man to hospital for evaluation.
April 4, 7:10 p.m.:
Passing motorists called police to report a stalled motor home blocking the eastbound lane of H Street east of the truck route. An officer arrived to find a man standing atop the large RV, inspecting its roof. It turned out the motor home's owner had brought it down from Canada to show to a prospective buyer, and the pair somehow decided the middle of a busy street at dusk made for a perfect place to close the deal. The driver decided it was easier to move the rig than explain his decision-making skills to a judge in traffic court.
April 5, 9:15 a.m.:
Police investigating a misdemeanor assault case found that the victim was suffering harassment by people familiar with the suspect. A suspect at the root of the harassment was identified and warned to cease the activity.

The case is under investigation.

No other assistance was needed and the officers departed.
April 7, 11:47 a.m.:

April 8, 9:10 p.m.:
A resident heard a loud bang outside her home and found the remnants of an apple stuck to her front door. The victim did not know who had thrown the apple, as the vandals had slithered from the scene. The area was checked without success.
April 8, 9:11 p.m.:
An anonymous caller reported hearing screams at an apartment complex and then saw a adult take a child into an apartment. Officers arrived to investigate and determined a scene of suburban bliss had disturbed the caller.

April 8, 11:30 p.m.:

If they don't, the Utes could find themselves in a heated battle just like last year. Defensive end Trevor Reilly, who admits he never gave much thought to the Aggies as a program until last year's upset, doesn't want his senior year starting with another loss.

As a longtime member of Utah's program, he has experience from both perspectives — being the underdog the Aggies are this week and being the favorite with a target on the chest.
He certainly knows which outcome he favors.
"It really stings," he said of last year's loss when the Utes were expected to win. "It feels good to win those games, but it feels even worse to lose them. It's a terrible, bad, bad feeling."
It's a feeling that can make a player hold a grudge for a year, just waiting for a rematch.

For the last few weeks, Stone Gossard has been previewing tracks from his upcoming second solo album, Moonlander . The Pearl Jam guitarist's latest offering is "King of the Junkies," which Gossard says was inspired by Adolf Hitler 's alleged drug habits.
"'King of the Junkies' was inspired by a documentary that I saw that claimed Hitler was using intravenous methamphetamines throughout this dictatorship," says the guitarist in a statement posted on Pearl Jam's website. "I figure this makes him the worst junkie of all time. The story I created imagines him in his last weeks."
Moonlander is set to arrive in stores on June 26. You can stream "King of the Junkies," along with a number of other tracks from the upcoming release, at PearlJam.com/Moonlander .
