Globally concerted efforts – Developing enterprise
Dr Naoya Takahashi, President & CEO, Hitachi Systems, Ltd.
Dr Naoya Takahashi,
President & CEO, Hitachi Systems, Ltd.
Dr Takahashi why is it important to participate in the standardization process itself, isn't it enough to just use International Standards?
Dr Takahashi: Using standards is not only a question of following established practices because they have been adopted and are already in use. Hitachi wants to actively participate in global standard setting for any standard that is related to Hitachi products and activities. We want to make certain that our technologies are taken into consideration. Our contribution to the IEC has a direct impact on our business and our active participation allows us to develop enterprise and new business opportunities. Cooperating in the standard setting process also allows us to achieve faster the standards our industry needs to operate globally.
What would you say to a company that is not yet actively involved in the standard setting process?
Dr Takahashi: Don't wait for the standard to be decided and then become a user. Accelerate your business by participating in the standardization process. That's why we participate in the IEC and we hope that more companies will share the same idea.
Hitachi has made the promise to reduce CO2 emissions by 100 million tons yearly by 2025. What are you doing to achieve this?
Dr Takahashi: Hitachi as a whole is engaged in continuously improving the efficiency of facilities and manufacturing equipment. We have put in place appropriate measures and systems and every one of our businesses and employees is engaged in helping us achieve this mission. Even simple things, such as slightly raising room temperatures and making certain that lights turn off when nobody is in a room can be important.
Hitachi has a strong commitment to provide ecofriendly products, services and solutions. Every product has a life cycle plan that includes the design, material procurement, manufacturing, shipping, maintenance and end-of life recycling.
But Hitachi not only develops new technologies it also takes into account the system in which the technologies will function. For example, if you look at power generation: solar and wind energy require different approaches from conventional hydro and coal power generation. With solar or wind you cannot really control the amount of power generated. Therefore you need ways to use the electricity were and when it is generated. This implies that you look at where and how this energy is consumed, and also include different forms of energy storage. I believe that only by looking at the whole system is it possible to create a more sustainable society.
Hitachi is also opening new avenues in recycling, why is this important and is this a real business proposition?
Dr Takahashi: Hitachi has understood the importance of recycling a long time ago. There are lot of useable materials, including rare and precious metals to be found in waste and garbage hills. Not only is it irresponsible to waste precious resources but their uncontrolled storage is also potentially dangerous.
However, the recycling of those materials is currently still expensive and regulations limiting cross-border transportation of waste hinders efficient recycling. Those regulations were put in place at a time when real waste was simply shipped to other parts of the globe, where it was dumped in an uncontrolled manner. However, today, in many cases what was waste is no longer truly waste. We need a global reuse standard and we need to overcome some of the existing limitations for cross border transportation for what is becoming a very precious resource.

Press Releases
Major Investigation Exposes the Dangerous Reality of Exotic "Pets" in Ohio
Video tapes document brazen disregard for animal care, public safety, and the law
Sacramento, CA — The Animal Protection Institute (API) today released the results of an extensive investigation into the largely unregulated private ownership of exotic wild animals kept as "pets" or used as "attractions" at roadside zoos and menageries. The video footage and accompanying report are the most thorough on record and expose disturbing evidence of a lack of concern for public safety and animal welfare by both private owners and federally licensed facilities across the nation and specifically, in Ohio. Major findings include:
- private owners and federally licensed facilities putting themselves and others in danger of attack
- a number of previously unreported injuries and attacks by exotic animals on owners and others
- public safety concerns including inadequate barriers and visitors allowed direct contact with dangerous exotic animals
- poor animal care conditions
One example of API's findings is the "Siberian Tiger Conservation Association" in Gambier, OH. At the time of API's visit, this establishment had lost its USDA exhibitor's license because a number of people had been attacked and injured by tigers. Despite this, the owner of the facility continued to hold "close encounters" allowing and even encouraging the public to touch, stroke, kiss and even sit on the tigers, a clear violation of the USDA regulations prohibiting direct public contact without a sufficient barrier. During the visit, the owner's behavior was reckless and irresponsible — threatening the safety of API investigators. Video footage shows an API investigator being attacked by a tiger. Thankfully no one was injured — this time.
Ohio currently has no laws governing the keeping, display, breeding or selling of animals such as bears, cougars, tigers and primates. API would like to see state legislation prohibiting the future private ownership of exotic animals.
"API's investigation shows that these exotic wild animals do not belong in our homes or neighborhoods," says Michelle Thew, Chief Executive Officer of API. "Action has to be taken now to put an end to the private ownership of exotic animals to stop the suffering of these animals and before there is another tragedy."
Ohio has seen at least 10 reported serious incidences involving exotic animals in the last five years. Nationwide, serious incidents are becoming increasingly common. For example, on February 1, an 80-year-old man was killed by a bear at a former petting zoo in Illinois; in August, a 17-year-old Kansas girl was killed by a privately owned Siberian tiger while posing for her senior portrait; and in June a 12-year-old Minnesota boy's spine was severed after being attacked by a lion and tiger at a store where they were being kept as pets.
"Across the nation, dangerous dogs are more regulated than these dangerous wild animals. This is an accident waiting to happen," says Thew.
The American Veterinary Medical Association, the United States Department of Agriculture, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Animal Control Association, and the American Zoo and Aquarium Association each oppose the private ownership of certain exotic animals.
API is a national nonprofit animal advocacy organization working to end animal cruelty and exploitation through legislation, litigation, and public education. API also manages a 186-acre Primate Sanctuary that is currently home to more than 400 primates, many of whom were rescued from abusive or exploitative private ownership situations. For more information, visit www.api4animals.org.
A press kit including report highlights, DVD B-roll and report, or still images on CD are available upon request; email firstname.lastname@example.com.

THURSDAY, Oct. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Despite the H1N1 swine flu
outbreak, children's seasonal flu vaccination rates last fall and
winter weren't much higher than in the previous year, U.S.
researchers have found.
The findings were released in this week's issue of
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report published by the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC investigators analyzed data from eight Immunization
Information System Sentinel Site Project locations and found that
seasonal flu vaccination coverage during the 2009-2010 flu season
was 26.3 percent for children aged 6 months to 18 years, a 5.5
percent increase from 2008-2009 (20.8 percent).
Increases in coverage with more than one seasonal flu vaccine
dose varied according to age group: 55.2 percent to 55.7 percent
among children 6 months to 23 months old; 33 percent to 38.4
percent among children 2 to 4 years old; 19 percent to 27.1 percent
among children 5 to 12 years old; and 10.9 percent to 15.3 percent
among teens aged 13 to 18.
Full coverage with seasonal flu vaccine remained low in the
2009-2010 season: 34.7 percent of children 6 to 23 months old; 31
percent of children 2 to 4 years old; 23.8 percent of children 5 to
12 years old; and 15.3 percent of teens aged 13 to 18.
The researchers suggested a number of ways to improve seasonal
vaccination coverage, including: vaccinating later in the season
(January through March); reminder/recall notifications; parental
education; and school-located vaccination programs.
A second study in the
MMWR found that the United States had low levels of flu
activity during the summer of 2010, while typical flu activity
occurred in the southern hemisphere. Most of the flu viruses
analyzed recently match the viruses included in this year's flu
Manufacturers predict a plentiful vaccine supply for the
upcoming flu season.

flu vaccination.

Suggestions for a Similarly Styled Sofa?
Good Questions
Q: I live in Chicago and have been searching high and low for a cool contemporary sofa. I really like this one but it's a bit over my budget at $1615 and also doesn't come in the color I would like (something in the cool, light greys/blues family). I've tried Bo Concept, CB2, Crate and Barrel, IKEA, Rubins, and others.
Any ideas where I might find something, either locally or online? Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

Rather than getting something that isn't exactly what you want - Why not just save the money and wait till it goes on sale?
For something that's going to last at least 10-15 years, saving for a few months and waiting for the sale isn't such a terrible thing.
Cheaper-than-that modern is not an easy category. And $1615 is nowhere near even the middle of the price range for sofas.
To beat that price, you are going to end up taking a leap of faith on a website, or finding-- and recovering-- a used piece.
Check a second-hand store, like GoodWill or St. Vincent DePaul, etc... You can probably find a shape you like and take the legs off and put on contemporary ones or create ones from pipe at the hardware store.
Recovering can be just as expensive as buying a new couch. I've tried. Even doing it yourself is outrageous and messy.
I'm with the others. Save the money for a while and buy the couch you want.
You could try Dania in Northbrook. They have contemporary styles, but I would consider them a step up from Ikea. They have a website but you have to order at the store. www.daniafurniture.com They even have a section on the website for sofas under $999. It's $100 delivery to Chicago for one trip.
Start trolling the Crate and Barrel Outlet in Naperville. They not only have Crate merch, but CB2 and lots of cool samples. I've seen a sofa there very similar to this...
Addendum to my previous comment; the Crate outlets in the city do not have furniture. You have to go to Naperville.
Try craigslist.org in the Chicago area. You can click "furniture" in the buy and sell section and then narrow the search to "couch" - if you check it daily you might stumble upon a gem.
domicile in Lincolnwood (think might have a place in the city as well). Went there for the 1st time a few months ago. We just snagged a nice midcentury type sofa for ~a grand delivered. We even had a choice of a hundred fabrics and it came with 2 pillows. The sofa seems sturdy and comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame, which should be good.
I agree with kozy11 on Dania as well, good stuff there but some of it borders on uncomfortable faux-modern stuff.
I agree with bepsf. I have been wanting a new sofa as well, and have looked everywhere for an inexpensive one to fit my mcm taste.
However, I've realized I might as well just save up my money, live with the ugly sofa I have for a little longer so I can have my pick.
Room & Board has an awesome sofa (Anson) that is a similar shape, but it's at the same price point, so that's no help. If you've struck out at CB2 and Ikea, you're probably out of luck. I agree with the others - sofas are investment pieces, and it's worth the money for one that you love and that will last.
I just got the Corona couch from Macy's. It hasn't been delivered yet, but if it's anything like the Corona armchair I have that goes along with it, it'll be heavenly - for less than $700, too.
We liked the couches from Room and Board and DWR, but we were extremely hesitant to spend $1,500 on a sofa when we had plenty of other things to pay for as well. It's also helpful to keep in mind that prices are indicative of how much the companies think you should be paying for it, not the actual quality of the product.
Tracey, you didn't specify what your budget was, so if you're looking for something under $1,000, try Urban Outfitters. I can't attest to the quality since I've never sat on one, though. I myself bought a Macy's one, but while I was satisfied with the comfort level as well as the quality from examining the couch itself (I practically threw myself onto it at the store, and another AT reader said it had a solid wood frame, and there are numerous good reviews for it online), I also can't attest that it'll hold up in 10 years.
Its not an exact replica of what you posted, but I thought this was reminiscent. Its from a reputable company, is a MUCH more affordable purchase, and has options for customizing.
Room and Board is having its annual summer clearance right now. You might find something you like, but the prices may still be too high.
Buy used, if you need a sofa right now. Educate yourself about what and who makes a good sofa (gardenweb is a good website for this sort of thing), so when you spot a find at thrift or consignment shop (or craigslist), you will know that your money is well-spent. Even if you spend only $500, it's still $500, and you want to spend it wisely. It amazes me how little people educate themselves about sofa construction, when they can easily cost well over $2K.
Also, good reupholstery is more expensive than people thing, and really only worth it if the sofa frame itself is worth the cost of the fabric and labor.
In any case, afor-now sofa should last you a few years, by which time you will have saved enough to buy the new sofa of your dreams.
Recovering can sometimes be as expensive as a new sofa, so even if you do find a great one for cheap, it could end up costing you in the end.
I'm with those that say to wait. Save up as much as you can, and then you'll have a much larger selection of good quality furniture to choose from. A sofa should last you AT LEAST ten years, so make sure its the best quality you can afford! And, of course, make sure its something you absolutely love.
Oh, BTW, the Room & Board sofa I mentioned, Anson, does come in blue and gray like you wanted!
I got something similar on sale froom Room and Board. My friend also got something close from their outlet. It would be a drive to Minneapolis, but worth it!
When we had my grandmother's old track arm sofa reupholstered a few years back, the upholsterer (ack, try saying that three times fast) had all sorts of legs either in stock or available for order. Some were like this, very modern looking.
So my suggestion would be that you might be able to find a cheaper sofa and then pay to have the legs customized.
You can also try going to a woodworking supply store (or better, yet, one of those hardware catalogs) and adding the legs yourself. The vast majority of sofa legs are interchangeable and can be done by a novice with a drill and some new screws.
But frankly, I agree with the others who have already pointed out that $1615 isn't exorbitant for sofa. If you pay much less, you'll end up just having to replace it in the short term anyway and you may end up spending more money in the long run. Sofas shouldn't cost $10,000, but they are one of those things worth spending a grand on.
You might find something you like at Gus Modern, and they're currently having a sale!
"You might find something you like at Gus Modern..."
...assuming you don't mind a "Made in the USA" price for "Made in China" furniture.
I strongly agree about craigslist. Tons of sofas for sale (search both sofa and couch).
I recently scored a perfect condition Room and Board sectional on craigslist for $500. I paid $20 (all-in) for a rental pick up truck at Home Depot, and an hour later, I had a sofa in my home.
Someone in Humboldt Park had been selling a lovely MCM light gray blue sofa on craigslist for $1000, but I haven't seen it in a bit.
Good luck!
Hi Tracey
BTW - what is that sofa that costs $1615?
Thanks - check out the sofas at Room and Board...
Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for the suggestions! I agree with you that I may need to spend that much for a sofa I really like, and it's not really too far over what I had in mind.
The sofa pictured is the "Rado" at www.spacify.com. The trouble is the color selection - it doesn't come in a blue/grey. If they had it in the right color, I would totally shell out for it.
@tracey c --
You said that it doesn't come in the color you want: grey or blue...
...did you not see that it comes in other fabric colors - what they call "Insight Mist" which is a cool blue tone?
You might have also noticed that the name of the manufacturer is on the site (Lazar Industries: http://www.lazarind.com/ ) which has plenty of other fabric options on their site and a store locator which you could use to get competitive quotes from retailers in your area for the sofa in the fabric you'd prefer.
Do you know anyone in Minneapolis? There is a Room & Board Outlet store there where my husband and I got a similar couch for $500. I love that place!
@bepsf, I did see "Insight Mist", but doesn't that look greenish to you? Perhaps it's my monitor? Great idea to contact the manufacturer! Using their store locator reminded me about Modern Home Furnishings, which is another good source for inexpensive modern pieces.
I really like the legs on this sofa... they make it look so light and airy to me. I was originally inspired by the sofa that Cortney and Robert Novogratz of Sixx Design have in their current house. If you look at their web site, choose Projects, then 400 West, it's the third thumbnail in the bottom row of pictures. Of course, one could argue that theirs is also rather "Insight Mist" colored! But it's the shape and the legs that caught my eye.
I don't agree with bepf's assessment of Gus Modern at all.
I think saving your money for what you really want is the best way to go. Also, have you tried smaller furniture stores? They sometimes have an in-house interior designer (frequently the owner) that can steer you in the right direction. I usually strike out while furniture hunting at large chain stores, but have found great bargains at smaller shops, including buying a set of Calligaris casual dining chairs for $50 each (regulary $300 each)! Good luck.
Or this one (ad on this web page): http://www.fashion4home.com/camden-red-2-seat-sofa-1.html
It comes in gray and other colors.

Discount retailer's 'Big' expansion in Eagan
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
Big Lots differs from other discount retailers in that it sells nearly every kind of closeout, discontinued and overstock merchandise including clothing, home decor, furniture, electronics and nonperishable food.
Though this business model works well for Big Lots and its consumers, it can present many challenges for manufacturers, said Lorman Lundsten, marketing professor and department chair at the University of St. Thomas.
"It hurts manufacturers relationships with other retailers," he said.
Some retailers who pay full price feel they are being treated unfairly when they see Big Lots receiving discontinued merchandise at a significantly discounted price, Lundsten explained.
Lundsten is also skeptical that Big Lots will complement its Eagan neighbors.
"What you want for a shopping center is fairly similar economic level stores that complement each other," he said. "Here we have a store where people will shop a Big Lots and go away again."
Regardless of these issues, Lundsten predicts Big Lots and other discount stores will continue to grow as consumers hunt for bargains during the recession.
"The current economy is a good windfall for them," he said. "I think they will be around for a long time."

When heavy fog is present take extra precautions on the road. It's especially important when your visibility changes from eight miles to zero.
Foggy conditions have proved to be fatal for drivers in the past. We've covered several wrecks where fog played a major role.
Back in January, there was a five car pile up that killed a man headed to work in miller county. Troopers say 49-year-old David Bell made a u-turn hit a car and that caused a terrible chain reaction.
A different example is Semi Truck Driver Anthony Helms. He was on his way to Tifton. Helms believes low visibility and dense fog made him drive off a ramp.
Helms and his dog Odie Dodie made it out alive with only cuts and bruises. Troopers say drive slow, don't use your bright lights.
Also roll down your windows and listen for cars even if you can't see it.

text: CANTRELL-MAY (VERONICA) VS. WETHERTON, M.D. (BRENDEN M.)Download as PDF RENDERED: JUNE 11, 2010; 10:00 A.M. NOT TO BE PUBLISHED Commonwealth of Kentucky Court of Appeals NO. 2009-CA-000903-MR VERONICA CANTRELL-MAY, AS MOTHER AND NEXT FRIEND OF ALEXANDRIA MAY APPELLANT v. APPEAL FROM SHELBY CIRCUIT COURT HONORABLE CHARLES R. HICKMAN, JUDGE ACTION NO. 06-CI-00440 APPELLEE BRENDEN M. WETHERTON, M.D. OPINION AND ORDER DISMISSING ** ** ** ** ** BEFORE: VANMETER, ACTING CHIEF JUDGE; STUMBO AND TAYLOR, JUDGES. TAYLOR, JUDGE: Veronica Cantrell-May, as mother and next friend of Alexandria May, brings this appeal from a March 18, 2009, judgment of the Shelby Circuit Court in favor of Brenden M. Wetherton, M.D., dismissing the complaint. For the reasons stated, we must reluctantly dismiss this appeal. Fifteen year-old Alexandria May suffered an ischemic stroke in late December 2005. Veronica Cantrell-May subsequently instituted this medical malpractice action as "Mother and Next Friend of Alexandria May" by filing a complaint in the Shelby Circuit Court against Brenden M. Wetherton, M.D. Wetherton had treated Alexandria in the emergency room at Jewish Hospital in Shelbyville, Kentucky, on December 30, 2005. While the circuit court action was pending, counsel for Alexandria filed a Notice of Substitution. Therein, counsel asserted that Alexandria had reached the age of majority and, thus, Alexandria "is substituted as Plaintiff in place of her mother, Veronica Cantrell-May, who was proceeding as her next friend." Following a jury trial, the circuit court entered judgment in favor of Brenden M. Wetherton, M.D., and the complaint was dismissed. The only party named as plaintiff in the judgment was "Alexandria May." Thereafter, a notice of appeal was filed from the judgment. The notice of appeal named in both the caption and text "Veronica Cantrell-May as mother and next friend of Alexandria May" as the only appellant. This appeal follows. From the above procedural facts, it is clear that Alexandria, upon attaining majority, was substituted as plaintiff in the stead of her next friend, Veronica, and proceeded to prosecute the action below in her own right. Indeed, the final judgment identifies Alexandria as the only plaintiff. The notice of appeal, however, solely named as appellant "Veronica Cantrell-May, as mother and next -2- friend of Alexandria May." The law is well-settled that only a party of record to a proceeding in circuit court may file a notice of appeal therefrom. Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure 73.02; Bartholomew v. Paniello, 287 S.W.2d 616 (Ky. 1956); White v. England, 348 S.W.2d 936 (Ky. 1961). Veronica, as next friend, had no authority to file a notice of appeal as she was no longer a party to the action below after Alexandria was substituted as plaintiff. Our courts have long recognized that an infant, upon reaching majority, must pursue an appeal in his or her own name and not through a representative. Parks v. Barnes, 173 Ky. 589, 191 S.W. 447 (1917). Additionally, the Kentucky Supreme Court has held that substantial compliance is inapplicable to the failure to name an indispensable party in the notice of appeal. City of Devondale v. Stallings, 795 S.W.2d 954 (Ky. 1990). As noted by the Kentucky Supreme Court in City of Devondale, the failure to name an indispensable party in a notice of appeal is a jurisdictional defect. The Supreme Court recently expounded upon jurisdictional defects on appeal in Wilson v. Russell, 162 S.W.3d 911 (Ky. 2005). The Supreme Court stated the following: It is fundamental that a court must have jurisdiction before it has authority to decide a case. Jurisdiction is the ubiquitous procedural threshold through which all cases and controversies must pass prior to having their substance examined. So fundamental is jurisdiction that it is the concept on which first-year law students cut their teeth. . . .... -3- However, even though not raised, "jurisdiction may not be waived, and it can not be conferred by consent of the parties. This [C]ourt must determine for itself whether it has jurisdiction." Hubbard v. Hubbard, 303 Ky. 411, 197 S.W.2d 923 (Ky. 1946). Id. at 913. In conclusion, Veronica, as next friend, could not pursue the instant appeal as Alexandria had reached majority and was substituted as plaintiff in the action below. Alexandria is an indispensible party to this appeal. See id. Unfortunately, since Veronica, as next friend, is the only appellant named in the notice of appeal, the appeal must be dismissed. City of Louisville v. Christian Business Women's Club, Inc., 306 S.W.2d 274 (Ky. 1957). Now, therefore, be it ORDERED that Appeal No. 2009-CA-000903MR is DISMISSED. ALL CONCUR.

As long as no double standards are in play, I agree about bans. But that's near impossible. And there's issues with humans measuring the threat of specific racism. Most people are conditioned to think talking about african americans, for instance, in a certain way is a lot worse than when an african american talks about a white person in an offensive way. Let's not forget too about weird grey area involving persons using race oriented comments about their own race.
I've reported persons for refusing to stop with what I'd say was at the top of the offensive language list and they received no ban as they were back at it in no time.
Too many things can be perceived as racist and argued both ways. It's not going to be something easily policed except in the most malicious of overt acts of racism.

EVANSTON, IL (WHBL) - The Wisconsin men's basketball team remain unbeaten after pounding Northwestern 76-49 Thursday night in their Big Ten opener in Evanston Illinois. Freshman reserve Nigel Hayes had season-highs of 19 points and 6 rebounds, and has averaged just over 15 points in his last 3 games. Badgers' coach Bo Ryan said the 6-7 Hayes is a fast learner, and he's very smart and perceptive on the court. Hayes made 8 of 12 shots from the floor. Sam Dekker scored 15 and Traevon Jackson 10 for fourth-ranked Wisconsin, which won its seventh straight over Northwestern. The Badgers out-shot the Wildcats 55 to 39 percent, with a 38-27 rebounding edge. The Wisconsin bench outscored the Wildcats' reserves, 32-4. Alex Olah scored a career-high 23 points for Northwestern, which fell to 7-7 overall and lost its second straight after a three-game winning streak. Wildcats' forward Nikola Cerina left early with an apparent leg injury. Wisconsin won its 11th straight Big Ten opener. The Badgers are now 14--0 for the first time since 1914. They can match the school record for their fastest start with a home win on Sunday night against Iowa.

We had also concluded that though acceptance tests could be written in the way described however, there was an issue. Writing the feature files with individual features having multiple scenarios which would just be a repetition with change of values does not seem smart. It violates DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 11: NFL Players Association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith (3rd L, wearing hat) walks with a group of player representatives as they arrive for labor talks at the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service building March 11, 2011 in Washington, DC. Representatives from the National Football League (NFL) and National Football League Players' Association (NFLPA) continue to negotiate a labor dispute as a deadline looms at the end of a seven day extension of talks.

It's not good news from Friday's final negotiations between the NFL owners and players.
In a conference call with players, NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith said that their plan is to decertify, meaning that the NFLPA will no longer be considered a union. That will free up individual players to sue the owners for antitrust violations.
The talks are still ongoing, so the two sides could come to a last ditch agreement to avoid the lockout/decertification scenario that will inevitably end up in court. But with Smith's comments, avoiding the work stoppage is not likely.
The danger in decertifying is that the owners could attempt to block the decertification by calling it a negotiating tactic. A decertified union also doesn't have the power to argue on behalf of players in areas like suspensions and fines, and benefits like health care, insurance and pension would be suspended. A decertified union also can't regulate agents.
The many things that the players must give up in order to decertify shows just how tense this negotiation over the collective bargaining agreement has become.

I, too, am becoming addicted to building unique sets. But lo... I find that the game has a sorry and sad lack of ONE-PIECE SHOULDERS. I have characters of all types, from cloth to plate, and these shoulders just keep crying out in the back of my mind as awesome.
We just can't FIND them.
I can point you to this quest http://www.wowhead.com/quest=14318 which has a one-piece leather shoulder. And I think theres a recolor on another quest in the same zone.

I do have Mogit on my system. It was my sincere hope that, somehow, there were more than just Leather options that I just wasn't seeing - as really, my only leather wearing character that is played heavily enough to get dressed up is a Druid.

kim anderson checksYou have been told by your physician that you must have a hysterectomy. Do you know the reasons why? Do you know that there are alternatives to hysterectomy? Do you know if you are a good candidate for another treatment option?
Chances are that if you did not specifically ask, you were not informed about an alternative to hysterectomy. And, if you did inquire, you may have received an unsatisfactory response. You may have been told that "hysterectomy is the best and most reasonable solution in your situation", or that having completed your family, you "don't need your uterus and ovaries any more". Understandably, your reaction to this may have been shock, disbelief or anger and you simply couldn't accept this. You were wondering if there were any alternatives to hysterectomy?
In this site you will find answers to your questions regarding other options besides hysterectomy. While not all women are candidates for treatments other than hysterectomy, most women do have choices. All women should be fully informed about their condition and their options before undertaking definitive treatment.

the United States
550,000 hysterectomies
are performed
each year. In
the vast majority
of these cases
the indications
for surgery
are benign,
non life-threatening
Only 10% of
are performed
for cancer.
Recent studies show that the symptoms of surgical menopause (sudden onset of menopause after removal of the ovaries) are more severe and prolonged compared to symptoms during natural menopause (when ovarian function gradually diminishes). The aging ovaries continue to produce certain amounts of estrogen for at least ten years after the start of menopause and of androgens until at least age 80. The androgens are converted to estrogens by the fatty tissue and muscle to estrogens. Women who had their ovaries removed after menopause had 54% more osteoporotic fractures than women with intact ovaries. Androgen deficiency affects bone loss, libido, muscular and fat distribution, the sense of well being, energy, and appetite. Preservation of the ovarian production of estrogen and androgen, albeit reduced compared to the reproductive years, may contribute significantly to a woman's health. This is another rationale for preserving the genital organs even after menses have ceased.
In a recent long term observational study, hysterectomy was shown to double the risk of fracture in perimenopausal women. Hysterectomy also increased the risk of osteoporotic fractures by 20% regardless of whether the ovaries were removed or preserved.
long-term adverse
effects of hysterectomy
have been reported.
Some studies, although
not all, report that
new urinary symptoms
such as frequency,
urgency, and incontinence
occur in 30% of woman
after hysterectomy.
This may be the inevitable
result of bladder
denervation (surgically
cutting off the nerve
supply to the bladder)
during hysterectomy.
Also, slow propulsion
constipation develops
in about a third
of women after hysterectomy,
even without the
presence of rectocele.
Frequently, hysterectomy
leads to sagging
of some internal
genital organs such
as the anterior vaginal
wall (dropped bladder
or cystocele) and
posterior vaginal
wall (rectocele).
These conditions
may cause symptoms
such as difficulties
in urination, stress
urinary incontinence
or constipation,
difficulty in penetration
during intercourse,
and vaginal infection.
These conditions
may be severe enough

Barely in their teens, To Be One is shaping up as one of pop's hottest new boy bands under the guidance of Lady Gaga's ex-manager Troy Carter and MTV host/tv personality Layla Kayleigh. The trio first came to national attention on season six of America's Best Dance Crew (they were runners-up) before deciding they wanted to up the ante by creating their own music — instead of busting a move to other artists' tunes.
The boys, who recently moved from New Jersey to Los Angeles to pursue their dream, dropped by the Idolator studio to talk about their debut single "Wherever You Wanna Go" (the choreography in the video is crazy!), their idols and thoughts on a possible high-profile female collaboration. Watch what Madison, Mikey and Jason have to say up top and listen to their excellent hip-hop flavored new track "Do You" after the jump.
Do they guys have what it takes to be huge? Let us know in the comments below.

Herpes simplex virus gene expression. The infection of mammalian cells with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) results in dramatic alterations to the host cell nucleus, so that viral genes are expressed at high levels, while cellular genes are nearly completely suppressed. This genetic subversion is accomplished by a small set of HSV-1 regulatory proteins, which are amenable to biochemical and genetic analysis. Currently, our laboratory is studying two of these proteins, ICP27 and ICP22. ICP27 is conserved in all known herpesviruses and is absolutely essential for HSV-1 late gene expression. Although its mechanism of action is unknown, a variety of evidence suggests that it is an unusual type of gene regulator which affects pre-mRNA processing and transport. Consistent with its suspected post-transcriptional role, we have shown that ICP27 is an RNA-binding protein that continuously shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. We are also studying ICP22, an HSV-1 protein which is required for viral growth in some cell lines. We have found that HSV-1 infection alters the phosphorylation of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II, and that this effect requires ICP22. Our current goal is to delineate the molecular pathway by which ICP22 alters RNA polymerase II and to understand the functional significance of this change.

After a two-hour flight sitting a few feet away from four boisterous children who made enough noise to put a marching band to shame, emerging at Hyderabad's swanky new airport for my first visit to the city proved very soothing for my frayed nerves.
The spacious terminal building, high glass walls, and the view, as you step outside, of palm trees and people leisurely posing for photographs in front of water fountains made me recall chaotic scenes back at Delhi's airport, as I allowed myself a wry grin.
My admiration for what the aviation minister has described as India's first truly "world-class" airport vaporized when on my return trip, a smiling attendant approached me at the terminal and directed me to a counter that collected 375 rupees from every passenger flying out of the city — courtesy a recently introduced toll called UDF or User Development Fee (International travellers were asked to shell out a thousand rupees).
A UDF is a toll collected by private airport developers to finance in part their project costs, provisions for which were introduced by the government recently with the advent of private players' participation in development of the country's airports, although there is no clear policy on how much a developer can charge passengers.
The argumentative Indian that I was, I protested that it seemed absurd to charge passengers so much every time they fly out of the airport, where the most they do is stand in queue to get their boarding passes, maybe use the toilet once and perhaps have a bite at a food joint, which by the way pays money to the airport authorities for operating on the premises.

While we had the front of the car apart we decided to install Nagisa's Auto Gacchiri Supports under the front fenders. Nagisa is a small supplier of very trick suspension parts in Japan, specializing in bearing-equipped adjustable suspension links and braces to stiffen the chassis beyond the typical strut tower and lower control arm brace. We've always been impressed by the innovation and quality of Nagisa's parts and have used them successfully in several other street and race car projects over the years with great success.
The main problem with Nagisa's parts was that they were very hard to get in the U.S. We had to get one of our friends, who is stationed in Japan for a work assignment, to buy the parts at retail performance parts outfits and ship them to us. This was a hassle and very expensive. More Japan, which started to import and inventory many of Nagisa's trick parts right here in the U.S., has helped solve this problem. Now the parts can be bought with a phone call or a click of the mouse.
The braces require the removal of the front fenders and the entire front bumper fascia, which is slightly tricky because the Evo has a somewhat delicate aluminum front fenders and some hidden snap-type fasteners in the lower part of the fender that require some care to pop loose without distorting or scratching the fender. Work slowly and carefully here. The stock fenders are very light, probably lighter than many of the carbon or fiberglass replacement parts on the market. After carefully removing the fenders, the braces bolt to the door hinges holes, and the forward part of the brace bolts to the unibody about even with the shock tower using one existing hole and requiring that another hole must be drilled in the unibody at this point as well.
Once installed the Gacchiri brace triangulates this highly stressed part of the chassis, much like how extending a rollcage through the firewall does. Now the upper part of our unibody is reinforced with braces spreading torsional and bending loads over a wide area of the unibody.
Upon reassembly of the front end, we were simply amazed at the difference. We felt that these braces would make little difference because of the rigid and triangulated WORKS front-strut tower brace and the extensive matrix of Cusco Power Braces fortifying the underbody. We were wrong; these braces make a bigger difference in body stiffness than any one single brace that we've installed so far. We noticed a difference in ride comfort right away. A stiff chassis allows suspension to work better at absorbing bumps and, believe it or not, the braces made our stiff competition sprung Moton shocks and stiff sidewalled Nitto NT01 tires ride about as well or better as a stock Evo.
An Evo isn't known for refinement and they exhibit a pretty large amount of squeaks and rattles from the factory compared to a luxury car like a Lexus. Our Evo has had its share of squeaks coming from the dash and cowl area of the car. Amazingly, the braces stopped the majority of undesirable noises coming from this area. The stiffness is very apparent when jacking up our Evo compared to unbraced Evos. When jacked from one corner, our car doesn't flex or sag like stock Evos. The whole car lifts at once, much like a car with a rollcage. Even when one corner of the car is jacked by itself, the doors all open and close easily. When driving up steep driveways on a diagonal, sometimes one or two wheels are lifted off the ground.
When driven there's an amazing difference in the solidness feel between our chassis and a stock Evo. Our car feels much like a caged car and the steering response is tight and solid. Although these braces have zero bling factor since you'll be the only one who knows they're there, they're probably the first brace we'd recommend installing.
With our ultimate suspension and brakes, we will now have to focus our attention to the engine in our ongoing quest to build the ultimate performance family car.

RANCHO SAN DIEGO (CNS) – Authorities Thursday identified a 49-year-old professional tree trimmer who died when a large palm tree fell on him in a residential neighborhood in Rancho San Diego.
Bernardo Teran of San Diego was fatally injured in the 1500 block of Falda del Cerro Court, near Valhalla High School, around 10 a.m. Wednesday, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office. He was pronounced dead at the scene about 20 minutes later.
At the time of the accident, Teran, his sons and two employees of Teran's tree trimming company were working on removing a date palm tree from the yard of a home.
"After one of the employees cut the base of the tree, it became unstable and suddenly collapsed on top of (Teran), who became partially pinned under the tree," a ME's Office statement said. "(Teran's) sons and employees were able to remove him from under the tree, and one of his sons called 911."
The state Division of Occupational Safety and Health will investigate, San Diego County sheriff's Lt. Dave Schaller said.

Posted: 11/28/2003A review of 1984 by Dramarama33
I had a book report to do on 1984. We had to read the book and watch the movie and then write a 5 pargraph essay on the differences and similarities between the book and the movie. I read half the book then watched the movie. I understood the movie up to the part where I read, but after that I was a little bit confused. I definately liked the book better. The acting was excellent but I did not like the way they made the movie. It was quite depressing. Plus, I thought all the actors were ugly and I wanted Julia to be pretty, but she wasn't. I hate reading a book and then watching the movie becasue I always have a picture in my mind how the charaters should look like. Then I get dissapointed when the girl is not as pretty as I wanted her to be. It's a bit silly and immature but that's the way I am. So I do understand if u liked the movie. Also, it is very R, if u know what I mean. They don't leave out anything. Trust me.
