Aggregation Issues in the Estimation of Linear Programming Productivity Measures
AbstractThis paper demonstrates the sensitivity of the linear programming approach in the estimation of productivity measures in the primal framework using Malmquist productivity index and Malmquist total factor productivity index models. Specifically, the sensitivity of productivity measure to the number of constraints (level of dis-aggregation) and imposition of returns to scale constraints of linear programing is evaluated. Further, the shadow or dual values are recovered from the linear program and compared to the market prices used in the ideal Fisher index approach to illustrate sensitivity. Empirical application to U.S. state-level time series data from 1960-2004 reveal productivity change decreases with increases in the number of constraints. Further, the input and output shadow or dual values are skewed, leading to the difference in the productivity measures due to aggregation.

Spaceworks is not currently accepting Creative Enterprise applications. Applications will be accepted in Fall 2014. Please review the guidelines and checklist below to prepare your materials for the next round.
Spaceworks seeks individuals or groups who:
- have an idea for a creative business (for-profit or non-profit) that benefits Tacoma's community but do not currently have the resources to rent a space and develop a full-fledged business
- are able to hold set business hours and special events or open houses
- can create an enticing visual display for passersby
- OR, if you have an idea that does not fit the scope of any of the Spaceworks tracks, but you feel could benefit Tacoma's community – use this application
Creative Enterprise Description:
Creative Enterprises are innovative small businesses or creative projects that open their doors to the public. Galleries, museums, art performances, boutiques, and retail shops are all great examples of Creative Enterprises. Artists, designers, crafters, consultants, organizations, community groups and other fledgling entrepreneurs are given the chance to test new products and services in a low-cost temporary space for up to six months, dependent on space availability and project success. But it's not just about space, this track provides relevant and meaningful business training and peer-to-peer support to the participants to systematically grow Tacoma's creative class and generate destination quality activity that will engage and transform our community.
All Creative Enterprises are expected to attend Spaceworks' 21-hour business training program ($50 tuition fee), hold a set of regular weekly hours open to the public, pay monthly utility fees, and hold appropriate City of Tacoma and State of Washington licenses and permits, as well as a general liability insurance policy.
Examples of possible Creative Enterprise uses:
- Businesses that exhibit a creative/innovative idea
- Experiential arts installations that the public interacts with
- Retail space for hand-made items (i.e. jewelry, fashion, art, etc.)
- Services (i.e. art or dance classes, design advice, etc.)
- Merchandising a creative product
- Art Galleries/Museums
- Creative home-based businesses testing their product in a retail environment
- Individual artists, community groups, non-profit organizations or creative businesses may apply.
Selected participants in the Spaceworks Creative Enterprise program must agree to the following:
- Enter into an agreement with Spaceworks Tacoma regarding the terms of use
- Have/obtain the appropriate City of Tacoma and State of Washington business licenses and permits.
- Be willing to relocate or give up the space if the property owner finds a permanent tenant within the negotiated timeframe
- Participate in Spaceworks' business training program
- Present destination quality artwork and/or service activity
- Create an enticing visual display for passersby
- Hold set business hours and participate in occasional Spaceworks events
- Partner with Spaceworks to market and promote events and activities
- Comply with all federal, state, and local laws
- Have/obtain a General Liability insurance policy.
- Pay for utilities for your space.
- Leave the space in the same or better condition when you move out
About the Spaces and Timeline
Spaceworks Tacoma works to identify spaces in Tacoma as locations for the proposed projects. Spaces will vary in size and amenities; selected individuals/groups will be paired with an appropriate space for their proposal. Spaceworks reserves the right to pair selected individuals/groups with spaces at its discretion. Keep in mind that the available spaces can be rather raw and windows can be expected to have active "For Lease" signs, which cannot be moved. Participants will be required to provide all furniture and, in some cases, fixtures.
Acceptance into the Spaceworks program is not a guarantee that you will be placed in a space. We can only place as many projects as we have available spaces, and it can be difficult to place all of the projects we would like.

Jordan Farmar had been thinking about returning to the Lakers since November 2012.
Jordan Farmar had been thinking about returning to the Lakers since November 2012.
When Jordan Farmar left the Lakers in 2010, I described the parting as "mutual disinterest" between player and organization. Farmar openly disliked playing in the triangle, a system he felt didn't cater to his strengths. The Lakers, I strongly suspected, were tired of Farmar resisting what was asked of him. Thus, the move to New Jersey, then overseas, was predictable. But as the saying goes, absence (not to mention maturity) makes the heart grow fonder. As the years passed, so did Farmar's interest in coming home. After Tuesday's 116-103 win over the Clippers, I asked Farmar when he first began thinking about rejoining the purple and gold. "When I was overseas," responded the point guard. "When I was in Istanbul staying up until three in the morning, it was November and they were losing. I was like, 'Yo, call Mitch and tell him I want to come home. If anything's possible and they can work something out, I'm interested.' "I had a tough time adjusting when I was first out there. I played in Israel during the lockout, loved it, and then Istanbul was just a little bit different of an experience for me. Initially, it was tough and I was looking to come back. I had an option in my contract to allow me to come back to the NBA. And then after I got through that little withdrawals from the NBA, from America, I had a fun time and a good rest of the season. but still, I was looking forward to getting back in the door." - AK

Display Ideas from Interior Homescapes
Store Profile
- Location: online only
- Website: interiorhomescapes.com
Store History
- Founded by: Chris Campbell
- Headquarters: Atlanta, Georgia
Interior Homescapes sells items from Arteriors, Global Views, Aidan Gray, Currey & Company, The Phillips Collection, World's Away, Bungalow5, Barbara Cosgrove, Feizy Rugs, Cyan Designs, and more.
Catalogs aren't always the best place to look for inspiration — they're often more focused on showcasing a product rather than pulling together a look and feel. While online catalog Interior Homescapes has plenty of staged product photos from Global Views, Arteriors, Currey & Company and other designers, they do a good job of conveying ideas for displaying and showcasing objects — we found a few lessons that could be applied to styling your own home.
- In a photo of the Regency Bar ($770), mirrored surfaces reflect more light when they're used to showcase glassware and silver ice buckets.
- Small objects — like the Butterfly Pin Vase ($55) — have a stronger presence when they're grouped in twos or threes.
- Three Conduit Mirrors ($130) from Global Views prove the same rule true, this time in a wall-mounted arrangement.
- Bunches of wildflowers in separate glass vases look more laid back than one single arrangement. Shown: Palace Bud Vases ($55).
- When grouping similar objects together (especially when they're the same color) it helps to vary the scale. Shown: Wrapped Handle Trays ($197).
- Symmetry brings balance, but a tiny bit of chaos keeps things from feeling boring. In the photo of the Quilted Ivory Leather Headboard above ($4,408) the identical bedside lamps add structure, but the hodge-podge of throw pillows shake things up slightly.
- If you've got a large space on the wall to fill but not much money, stretch your dollar by hanging a collection of dishes or bowls. Shown: Flying Wall Bowls ($86).
- Use contrast to draw attention to a collection. Two glass and metal lanterns set off a contrasting group of ceramic, organic-feeling Oasis Cinched Bulb Vases ($360).
- Float leaves and flowers in tall clear vases for a simple modern arrangement. Shown: Glass Silo Vase ($64).
- In an all-white arrangement, a little color goes a long way. Shown: Studly Dresser ($1,875).

Wow! That all-white arrangement is striking. Thanks for this idea. I vowed to get off junk mail lists because as you said, catalogues are not great (and they harm forests) but I'm glad you guys assembled these ideas.
Drooling on my keyboard over that dresser....
I think I have a long bowl that is part of the butterfly line, would have preferred these vases.
on the last one, how do they keep the roses at the bottom from floating up?
Where can I grab that Scottie in the first picture?
I am lusting over that bar cart. Has anyone seen anything similar at a much, much lower price tag?
Thank you for the post! Definitely one of our favorite blogs on the web and we actually look to you guys a lot for inspiration ourselves! If anyone has any questions feel free to email us at email@example.com or give us a call at 888.285.3211. Someone asked about discounts above and we do offer discounts through our facebook page quite a bit! http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Interior-HomeScapes/127687237274628
Looking at a larger image of the silo vases, it look as if the flowers might be tied to leads sitting on the bottom, maybe with different lengths of fishing line to put them at varying heights. I love the look!

The Spiritual Transformation of Our Times
Class with Swami Kriyananda, August 9
The changes we see in the world today — a greater spirituality and need for God, a desire for life that is peaceful, harmonious, and sensible — will bring about more peace on earth than shouting slogans at peace marches.
—Swami Kriyananda
Consciousness, the Agent of Transformation, Part 1
Class with Nayaswami Jyotish, August 10
The human body posesses the advanced nervous system to facilitate the enormous flow of energy that is necessary for Self-realization.
—Nayaswami Jyotish
Consciousness, the Agent of Transformation, Part 2
Class with Nayaswami Devi, August 10
The teachings brought by Yogananda are not random. They are specific to the evolution of our planet at this time.
—Nayaswami Devi
Using Energy for Health, Happiness, and Success, Part 1
Class with Nayaswami Gyandev, August 11
Each breath can be used to consciously draw in prana — cosmic energy — to invigorate the body and mind.
—Nayaswami Gyandev
Using Energy for Health, Happiness, and Success, Part 2
Class with Nayaswami Anandi, August 11
The more we chose to be happy, the easier it becomes. The more we chose to be moody, the easier that becomes. It's simply a matter of the direction of energy in the brain.
—Nayaswami Anandi
Using Energy for Health, Happiness, and Success, Part 3
Class with Nayaswami Hriman, August 11
At each turn of Ananda's development, Swami Kriyananda has shown us the way of courage and expansion, of keeping our hearts open to God's guidance, and our hands busy with His service.
—Nayaswami Hriman
Inner Transformation, Part 1: Right Attitude
Class with Nayaswami Ananta, August 12
Whatever is in front of me contains some aspect of God. Whatever happens to me in life presents an opportunity to seek Him.
How beautiful my world is when it is animated by the light of God!
—Nayaswami Ananta
Inner Transformation, Part 2: Meditation
Class with Nayaswami Bharat, August 12
We all want to help other people. Isn't sharing God with them through meditation the highest way we can do so?
—Nayaswami Bharat

—Nayaswami Asha, quoting Swami Kriyananda
The Power of the Guru, Part 1
Class with Nayaswami Jyotish, August 13
"The whole world was created for our education and entertainment. But ah, how few are either educated or entertained!"
—Nayaswami Jyotish, quoting Paramhansa Yogananda
The Power of the Guru, Part 2
Class with Nayaswami Devi, August 13

—Nayaswami Devi
Kriya Yoga: Religion for the New Age, Part 1
Class with Nayaswami Devarshi, August 14
"Each of the four techniques practiced on the Path of Kriya Yoga is a way of communing with God in one of His eight aspects.

The practice of Kriya brings bliss."
—Nayaswami Devarshi

"We have God-given free will to chose to awaken from the dream of separateness from Him. And if we make that choice,it completely changes our lives."
—Nayaswami Dharmadas

Class with Nayaswami Ananta, August 14
"I've been a student of mystical paths since I was a young man. But I cannot think of any spiritual master or teacher who explained the laws of spiritual development as clearly and comprehensibly as Paramhansa Yogananda."

Haiti Relief Efforts Focus of NBAA Convention Event
NBAA yesterday announced that the 2010 NBAA Convention, to be held next month in Atlanta, will include an event to recognize the business aviation community for its humanitarian response to the devastating Haiti earthquake earlier this year. Anyone who participated in the Haiti relief effort in any way is invited to attend the event, NBAA said. The Haiti relief tribute will take place as part of a first-ever general session on the convention's second day--Wednesday, October 20--at 11 a.m. Both the new second-day session and the traditional opening general session will take place on the exhibit floor at Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center. "As the world began to understand the magnitude of the tragedy, our industry mobilized," said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. "Almost immediately, airplanes and aviation expertise were volunteered, supplies were donated, ramp and hangar space was made available and fuel discounts were offered. As a result of this remarkable outpouring of time, expertise and resources, countless lives were not only touched, but in many cases saved." The Haiti tribute will include a video highlighting the story of the industry's response to the Haiti crisis, as told first-hand by some of those who were directly involved in the effort.

Spreading Smiles: Naugatuck Native's Charity GrowingThursday, April 4th, 2013
By Brynn Mandel | Republican-American | Wednesday, April 3, 2013
The idea was simple, the sentiment behind it pure altruism. Its execution, however, was anything but simple. About a decade ago, a Naugatuck native, deeply moved by the dire conditions he saw in a remote region of Mexico, returned home and collected supplies for an orphanage there. Bryan Nurnberger filled a donated school bus with medicine, clothing, toys and toiletries, then steered it south for the Casa Hogar orphanage in Oaxaca, Mexico.READ MORE

I have just added the latest version of Legacy of the Lost. I have taken down the download for version 1.2. Here is the information on the new version. I have updated the OP to reflect these changes as well.
Estimated Play Time – 10 hours
Estimated Overall Progress: 40%
Version 1.5 sees several improvements, additions and adjustments from version 1.2! For a full list of changes, click the spoiler below.
- Two new regions, Yardrick and Bariden, have been added.
- Arena and Treasure Chest game have been added.
- Icons for items and equipment have been added.
- Alchemy is introduced.
- New sidequests.
- Adjustments to enemy EXP and gold.
- Music now loops correctly.
- Warp Wings and Exit Bells now work as intended. It is no longer possible to
lose an item by using it in the wrong place.
- Some animations have been changed.
- Design of certain interior areas have been changed.
- A fully functional game over system has been added.
- The menu system is now working 100% correctly.
- You now can actually name your monsters.
- Poison no longer damages you with every 1 step you take. It now takes
15 steps on the map to recieve 1 point of damage.
- The graphics for inland water has been changed.
- Basilisk battle has been adjusted.
- It is no longer possible to get stuck in Poison Marsh Cave.
- Various graphical fixes and improvements have been made.
- Fixed grammatical errors.
You can download version 1.5 here! Keep in mind that you need to install the font, PressStart2P, which is included in the ZIP file.
- Most battle animations are RTP default.
- Outland water has a black border that might could look better
IMPORTANT for Version 1.5:
Save files from your previous 1.2 versions will not work as intended in this version. If you choose to use an old save file, the new game over function will not work at all, but besides that, the game should work properly.
To alleviate this, I have added an option in the beginning to skip to where the end of Demo 1.2 left off. In Aldain's bedroom, click the blinking "!" to be transported to Cardial Port City, after beating the Sea Devil. If you didn't play Version 1.2, I would highly recommend not using this method for your game.
Clicking the "!" here will transport you to the end of Cardial.
If you see any spelling errors, other bugs, general suggestions or have other comments, please let me know!
@mnMetal and Shadowsick:
Thank you both for your offers to beta test! I just finished the new version and have added it available to download. If you would like to beta test for future releases, I would love to have the additional input!

It's been an incredibly long time since I last worked on Legacy of the Lost. About a month ago, my interest in continuing work on the project and the time I had to devote to the project increased and I've made some exciting progress. When I quit the game, I was one region away from needing to create the breeding system. In this past month, I've finished that region and made great progress towards the breeding system. At this rate, the entire breeding system and all the monster possibilities will be completed and finalized within a week or so! Here are some screenshots of the Monster Breeding System and the Monster Library associated with it.
To select two monsters, you need to click the family icons and then select from your list of monsters below.
The result!
I chose an image of 1EyeClown so that I wouldn't divulge too many breeding possibilities, but the Library is 100% completed.
And lastly, here are a few images from the latest region, Illae.

It's ok! The graphics are actually from Dragon Warrior titles on the gameboy, mostly Dragon Warrior Monsters 1 and 2. I loved those games as a kid and loved the graphics style of them too, so I wanted to use them.

I love the graphic style you have here, back in mah' day /spit in can it was Gameplay>Story>Graphics. It had to be playable first off, then the story carried it. I wasted many hours in classic NES/SNES grindfest rpgs, just to level high enough to be able to fight my way to the next scene in the story. Even IF that next scene was 8-bit, it didn't matter.
There are many games out there with decent graphics that can't stand up story or depth wise as the oldies. Orias I am downloading this nostalgia trip. Soon as I opened the screen shot spoilers I was ... Confused why I haven't played this yet.

Personally, I don't think its grind heavy. You can beat pretty much any region by only fighting random battles that come up, without the need to keep moving back and forth on the map to find battles for EXP. I'd say its about as grind heavy as most Dragon Quest games.

I truly believe it will be finished! I really do enjoy making it.
Progress is still going strong on the breeding system! I imagine the entire system will be functional by the end of the month. I've compiled a list of all possible monsters, the skill essences they give, and the gene they pass on.
Do you see a monster you'd want to make?

Progress on Legacy of the Lost has been going smoothly. I'm roughly a little halfway done with the game and think now would be the best time to release the final public demo. With this demo, breeding will be included so people get to try out this exciting new feature.
However, before I release the demo to the public, I would like to have a beta test. If you are interested in helping out, let me know on here or through PM! I am about 2-3 days away from finishing the demo, but I just wanted to get the word out that I am seeking testers. Keep in mind, this demo is expected to take a little over 20 hours to complete. I have posted this announcement on here, RMN and RPG RPG Revolution and want no more than 5 beta testers. Below is a list of changes from the previous version to the new one:

Well, I think I can say that I am finally satisfied with all of the changes added to the new version! As such, I am releasing the final demo for Legacy of the Lost. At this time, if I had to estimate when the project will be totally completed, it would be next summer.
Anyways, here is the download link for the new version.
I hope you all enjoy the demo! Here is a full list of changes.
Legacy of the Lost Version 2.0:
- Three new regions: Illae, Esrarch and Onyu have been added.
- Monster Breeding is now available.
- Tons of new sidequests were added.
- Based on the answers to the questions at the beginning of the game, Aldain now starts with a special skill.
- Drop rates on monster materials have increased.
- Heal is no longer "holy" based.
- The process for getting information to get through Erdrich Forest has changed.*
- Expansion of Arena.
- Arena no longer only revives Aldain upon defeat.
- Arena victory music is fixed.
- Changed Olian's sprite.
- Changed Aldain's sprite from the side.
- RobMagic now steals enemy's MP instead of just decreasing it.
- Sap and Slow now work with much higher accuracy.
- Removed the "!" warping you to Cardial (was present in version 1.5).
- Exit Bells no longer stop working after the Cardial Region.
- EXP earned from monsters in Rhemhage, Cardial, Yardrick, and Bariden has increased.
- It is no longer possible to get stuck if you die in Sea Devil's Lair before facing the Sea Devil.
- Several actions have been adjusted - in accordance with this change, the stats of certain enemies and bosses have been changed.
- Most battle animations are still RTP default.
- It is possible the game will crash when F12 is used to reset. If it it crashes, the file should not become corrupted.

Been really busy lately, but I've finally decided to begin working on some of the battle animations. I know that having the RTP battle animations took away some of the immersion. I'm quite pleased with most of them so far.
Here are just a few examples:
I also just finished the 10th region! The game is shaping up quite nicely and there are quite a few extras that have been added in recently.
Tinymedal Queen's Palace
Wondrous prizes await those who collect tinymedals!
Dharma Temple
At Dharma Temple, you can undertake trials to master powerful abilities such as "Aggravate," which taunts an enemy into attacking you.
The region concludes with my favorite boss battle so far! It'll take using all of your resources to conquer this fight!

When Tonight Show host Jay Leno makes a joke about the costly interception thrown by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, you know life for America's Team is just getting unbearable. On Sunday afternoon, the nation saw a team unravel as they gave up a 23-point half-time lead to the Green Bay Packers. The heartbreaking loss may have ended the season and probably ended Head Coach Jason Garret's tenure with the team.
I don't want to say it but I feel like the writing is on the wall for this team. They are talented yes, but their flaws are too big to let them ascend to join the teams that contend for the Lombardi Trophy. Injuries have escalated to a ridiculous level, play-calling has been brought down to nauseating logic, and the unstoppable force of father time has started to take an effect on some of the team's star players. We could blame the Owner/General Manager, Mr. Jerry Jones, for all the problems with the team and rightfully so. But, we as fans know better than to blame King Jerry, he owns the team and will run it the way he sees fit. The only other man to blame is Garrett and it might not be fair.
The approach that Garrett went about was the right mindset a coach should have with any team. Having a process to building the team slowly, getting the right kind of players, and executing to perfection is a perfect way to help build a contender in the NFL. Unfortunately, that won't work with this team, especially when the franchise has been close to twenty years without tasting glory. Not when your owner and general manager wants to win before his own window starts to close in on him. The city of Dallas is a winner's town and the Cowboys are held to that standard more than any other team in the city. There is no place for Garrett and his process mentality with the silver and blue. He has to go and make room for a Coach that can get results now.
The team needs a coach that can get the team motivated, energetic, and focused on getting back to the playoffs. A breath of fresh air will liven up the stale efforts of the team and help get some playoff success for much of the veteran core. Also, a coach that can work with King Jerry will always go a long way. Easier said than done unfortunately, but that is the type of coach that will end the mediocrity haunting this team.
I have no doubt Garrett will be a head coach again in the league and probably a pretty good one. But for now he is not the answer for this team. The second-half of the Green Bay game showed us that already. Look closely at the game tape and you might notice Death lurking behind his shoulder. Times running out for Coach Red.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- There's a new candidate for the Michigan House in the 61st district. The 61st District is currently represented by Margaret O'Brien, who will be running for the State Senate next year, and running to replace O'Brien is Kalamazoo County Commissioner Brandt Iden, who announced this week.
The Republican's been a county commissioner for three years, and he says he wants to bring some of the things he's learned in that role to the state legislature, telling us that the county commission proves that it's possible to accomplish things in a bipartisan way.
Iden says he wants to make tax reform and job creation his main priorities in Lansing. You can find out more about Iden by following this link.

WHITNEY HOUSTON's will is finally out and her daughter, BOBBI KRISTINA, inherits everything.
And we mean everything!
Whitney Houston's once-troubled daughter Bobbi Kristina can call herself filty rich set for life as her late mother, whose predicted untimely passing was almost a month ago, had left her all of her possessions, star news has learned. Amended on April 14, 2000, the 19-page will states that Whitney's now 19-year-old daughter will be inheriting her money, furniture, clothing, jewelry, personal effects and cars. Glad it doesn't include anything else that they used to enjoy together, like drugs for instance?
Inside Edition reveals:
"The money will be placed in a trust until Bobbi Kristina, who is now 19, turns 21. She gets more money when she turns 25 and the rest when she is 30."
The will, executed by Houston's mom Cissy, 78, and drafted a month before Bobbi Kristina was born, mentions Whitney's brother Michael and sister-in-law Donna as the trustees as well as her ex-husband and Bobbi Kristina's father Bobby Brown, but was not left anything, in spite of it being amended while they were still married. Ouch!
Hopefully Bobbi Kristina can now set her life straight. We'd hate to hear her spending all that money on drugs!

You play most games with only one ball, but rallying requires two!!!
Cliche but very true where one mistake can cost you your and your co-driver's life. There is too much at stakes. DIRT3 makes you realise just that and in good measure.
Just turn off cornering braking and you come to realise to some extent how those gritty WRC drivers earn their bread & butter!!
Spoiler Alert - You have to have a racing wheel to enjoy this game to the maximum level as cursor keys in the regular keyboards just don't do justice with varying throttle/brake force which you need to apply in dirt hairpins or... (Expand)
Having been a big fan of Dirt 2, I bought this game after a while. The visuals were already spectacular when I played Dirt 2 on the Xbox. Dirt 3 is a slight upgrade and the PC version in particular is further spiffed up with DX11 features.
NFS fans should steer clear of this game if you are addicted to the NFS style adrenaline and action filled races.
As I had only played Dirt and Dirt 2 on the Xbox, I'm having slight difficulty playing Dirt 3 on the keyboard. Heavily advise anyone buying this game to invest in a game controller. Preferably the Xbox 360 controller.
Greetings Everyone !!! First of all thanks to Flipkart for Fast Delivery in Just one Day.
About the Game : This is really for those who just want to Enjoy the racing Games without getting into to much technical stuff. Graphics are Ok not awesome. Gameplay is Gud and Menu Style and Music are awesome.

Topic: Doors
Concertina doors, or concertina folding doors, are doors that can fold flat against one side of a wall, in an accordion sort of arrangement. Concertina doors are great for residential applications where you want to fully open up a space but don't want your doors getting the way. Not only are they practical, but they are also very attractive. Read on for more.
Concertina doors can be made from leather-look Vinyl cloth which is available in a range of colours; from powder coated or anodised finishes; from timber veneers or timber; and laminates, so you are sure to find a finish that looks absolutely perfect in your home. The panels can be made in different sizes from 110mm to 300mm wide. The width of the panels will depend on the size of the opening, and the manufacturer's preferences. If you need to control the amount of sound that goes from one area of the home to another, you can get acoustic doors. These can be very effective in deadening sound.
Concertina doors can be made to just about any opening up to 3.6 metres high and just about any width. When it comes to the concertina door installation, you can install the doors yourself or you can have them professionally installed. There are different locking options available, so security is not a concern at all. As well, you have options in things such as roll formed profiles, sash, stack size, opening options (which side they open to etc), tracks and rollers, and hardware colours (so that you can coordinate all aspects of the door). You may also be able to include a retractable flyscreen with your concertina door, so you get all the benefits of the open space without the hassle of insects entering the home.
For options see Concertina doors product brochures.

This razor-sharp, outrageous comedy portrays God as an overworked steambath attendant who doles out "wrath" and "blessed events" in between assignments of scrubbing floors and walls. Emmy-nominee Bill Bixby (The Incredible Hulk) and Oscar-nominee Valerie Perrine (Lenny) star - along with Jose Perez as the wisecracking, blase, card-trick-playing Lord, who watches while a collection of assorted types - a juvenile delinquent, an old time seaman, a naked ingenue, a Jewish guy nurtured on 30's culture, a pair of elderly homosexual men, and a gambler addicted to the stock market - sit amidst the seat and mist seemingly uncertain of exactly why they are there.

Franks not waking up, Doctors are getting confused...
Dr Lowes POV
"It just doesn't make sense to me. It spreads now. After years of awaiting, now it strikes. Out of nowhere." My colleague and specialist doctor Jayne Fielding repeats for a third time whilst pacing in front of my desk. "Jayne, these cases are unpredictable. Anything could happen at any time." I remind the terrified and guilty looking woman. Although none of this is down to her, she still feels guilty over the whole ordeal. It's a doctors instinct. You ask any Veterinary worker or any member of the medical profession, they'll tell you the same thing. When it's you patient and they don't get better, you feel automatically responsible. And as blessed as it is is to try and help, it's also horribly upsetting when you have to deliver your failings to their relatives.
"I know Keith but it's terrible. He's so young and, i dont know what to try this time. I've prescribed every medicine, every therapy method, anything and everything. No matter how ridiculous." The oman stresses again running a hand through her hair.
"Have you tried operating? Using Stem Cell Therapy?" I offer my own recommendations and her face lights up before twisting back into her previous worn sad expression. " No, we tried that two years back. Stem Cell Therapy isn't fully developed and explored yet so that's not an option either." She whined, looking out on her still unconscious patient.
"Look at them Keith. His boyfriend. He's going to be heartbroken when i have to tell them." She said tearfully while we looked out on the black haired teenager who was clutching his hand and stroking his forehead softly. He looked so devoted, so protective and unsure all at once. And Jayne was right, this was going to break his heart.

The members of Latinos Unidos are inviting the Southwestern and Georgetown communities to participate in their upcoming event, the Latino Heritage Symposium: Democracy of the Americas. The symposium will take place in the afternoon of Feb. 11 and 12 in the McCombs Campus Center ballrooms.
The theme of this year's symposium is "Democracy in Latin America." It will focus on the struggle and difficulties of developing democracy in Latin America.
"The topic was inspired by a class I took, Developing Democracy and Comparisons of South Africa and Mexico," Linda Peña, a junior and the symposium coordinator, said. "While the United States was preparing for the recent election, I kept thinking about the struggle in Mexico. Here, elections are secure and we can trust the government. In Mexico and other Latin American countries, elections can be stolen, citizens fear the government and there are acts of public violence. We take for granted our democracy while other countries are still struggling for their developing democracy."
Speakers for the Symposium include three Southwestern professors and public figures.
The Symposium will begin Feb. 11, at 3:00 p.m. with, assistant Professor of Modern Languages Angeles Rodriguez Cadena's, presentation on "Sor Juana: Women without a voice." Her discussion is about Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz de Asbaje y Ramírez de Santillana, a self-taught Novohispana scholar, nun, poet, writer and teacher who lived in central Mexico during the 1600s. She was an independent thinker and wrote and spoke out about women rights.
"During the time of Sor Juana, no one, especially women, could speak their mind or voice their opinions. But, she did just that and paid the price for it," Peña said.
Eric Selbin, professor of political science, will be presenting on "Democracy in 21st Century Latin America and the Caribbean." This discussion will explore what democracy means for Latin Americans today.
After a break for dinner, the night will conclude with a movie presentation in Olin 110 at 7:00 p.m. The movie, "In the Time of Butterfly," is based on a novel by Julia Alvarez.
"The movie is about a group of sisters who stand up against a dictator in the Dominican Republic during the 20th century," Peña said.
The Latino Heritage Symposium resumes the next day with Mark Everingham, a visiting associate professor of political science, presenting on "Developing Democracies" at 3:00 p.m. The discussion will be about the struggles of developing democracies in Latin America, particularly in Mexico.
Later that afternoon, at 5:00 p.m., Sean Sellers, a representative from the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, will be discussing the "Campaign for Fair Food." The Coalition of Immokalee Workers is a community based worker organization that fights for farm workers' rights.
"The Coalition of Immokalee Workers help ensure farm workers' rights by going after big corporations that buy from farmers that do not respect and uphold workers' rights," Peña said. "Their first main victory was against Taco Bell, which bought tomatoes from a company with poor working conditions and low wages for farm workers."
Also attending the Symposium is Kate Kelly, a representative from the Student Farmworkers Alliance, a national network of students and youth in close partnership with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers.
"Both organizations fight cases for farm workers' rights. These workers are not just immigrants and are not just Hispanic, they are all workers," Peña said. "For example, they fought a case of slavery in which two farm workers were chained up during the night and forced to work. They fight for them because they don't have the time or resources to fight for democracy."
Latinos Unidos has held four sSymposiums in the last 10 years.
"The Symposium from 10 years ago had music and other activities for the community. Our more recent symposiums are starting small, but we are gaining experience and our goal is to reach the point of that original symposium," Peña said.
This year's Latino Heritage Symposium is sponsored by the Diversity Enrichment Committee, Community Chest and the McMichael Fund.

How Did 'Sell in May and Go Away' Work This Summer?
Though the strategy of sell in May and go away, has historically has been a profitable one, 2014 was an exception.
Though the strategy of sell in May and go away, has historically has been a profitable one, 2014 was an exception.
The stock market rose for a third straight day despite a report from the Fed that showed most central bank officials ready to raise interest rates soon.
Ford's second quarter net income rose 6 percent to $1.3 billion as the company saw record profits in North America and finally made money in Europe.
Stock indexes edged mostly higher as traders looked over a mixed batch of earnings reports. The meager gains were enough to lift the S&P 500 to a new high.
A few household names are expected to post declines, including Microsoft, Dreamworks, Ford and Under Armour, even with market indices hitting new highs.
The Dow flirted with the 17,000 mark and the S&P 500 surpassed its record on encouraging manufacturing data in the world's two biggest economies.
In an ongoing legal battle the New York Supreme Court rules that J.C. Penney interfered with a contract struck between Macy's and Martha Stewart in 2006.
The Dow and S&P 500 hit new records, propelled by the monthly jobs report, which showed the number of people employed finally topped its pre-recession peak.
Stocks edged down Tuesday, though car sales in May hit their highest level since February 2007, helping automaker stocks.
Brisk demand for SUVs and pickup trucks -- and a strong Memorial Day weekend -- push U.S. auto sales to a nine-year high in May.
GM has recalled another 2.7 million cars to fix faulty power brakes, putting the overall auto industry on track to set a record for recalls in 2014.
General Motors is now considered the worst big automaker to deal with, according to a new survey of top suppliers to the car industry in the United States.
Investors hit the hold button on the market's upward run Thursday. But cautious trading is common ahead of a jobs report, and April's is due Friday.
Car buyers came out of hibernation in April to spend on trucks and SUVs, fueling an auto sales rebound that analysts expect to last the rest of the year.
Ford's worldwide sales rose in the first quarter, propelled by strength in Asia and Europe, but weakness in North America dragged down the company's profit.
Ford reportedly has settled on current COO Mark Fields to succeed Alan Mulally, the carmaker's respected chief executive credited with reviving the company.
Back-to-back up days on Wall Street eased worries after the recent sell-off. Buyers were reassured the Fed plans to keep interest rates low for some time.
Only two of nine midsize SUVs got the highest rating in crash tests done by an insurance industry group.
Historically, April has been the best month for the Dow, and it got off to a good start Tuesday. Stocks posted solid gains, lifting the S&P 500 to a record high.
Automakers report that new car and truck sales picked up speed halfway through March, culminating in a strong final weekend.
Ford says it will spend $500 million and create 300 jobs to upgrade an Ohio engine plant to make a new EcoBoost engine for its best-selling F-150 pickup trucks.
Usage-based auto insurance -- where your driving habits are tracked by a monitor installed in your car -- can save you a bundle on premiums. If you're a good driver, that is.
What did the stock market Monday have in common with the Denver Broncos Sunday night? They both got clobbered. February roared in like a bear, extending last month's sell-off.
Frigid temperatures and snowy weather generally kept buyers away from auto showrooms last month, with most automakers reporting declines from a year ago.
