Bell has a one time rental fee that they credit back. Not sure why they do it that way.--MNSi Internet - »www.mnsi.net
Bell has a one time rental fee that they credit back. Not sure why they do it that way.
Bell tends to limit (royally screw up) the firmware so it may not be possible to use it as an Access Point, however in a nutshell you will want to disable DHCP on it, and since you probably will want to get back the the GUI at some future date you should (if you are allowed) give it a static IP address, one which is in your subnet but outside of the DHCP lease scope.If you search through here you will see that the wireless functions of this router are sub-par at best, as for the issue of ownership if it is Bells' whatever they expect you to pay for it is too much.
How much does Bell charge if you don't return the modem?

wow I love fall
Steve and Tony meeting Peter for the first time
Superfamily: Pete has a small favor to ask…
Darcy always used to watch little Peter when her and Jane would visit NYC.
I kind of cheated because I wanted to do this while Comic Con was still going on so I skipped to it. Sorry.
May I say, I really liked doing this one? Great request, terribly sorry if I didn't meet it's potentional.
I got the Wizard of Oz idea from this:
And we all know Wade's a sucker for cross-dressing.
#can you imagine if we left these 4 guys alone in the top floor of stark tower for like a month #or even just a week #SHIT WOULD GET DONE #we'd probably have interstellar travel in 3 days
I have to disagree with the tags because I feel as though within six hours, Richards and Stark would be in a "I'm the smartest" pissing match. Peter would be to busy fanboying the fuck out over being in the same room as his heros. And poor Bruce would be in the corner doing yoga trying not to Hulk out because OMG TONY SHUT UP AND STOP BAITING REED.
It would end with Hawkeye having to tranquilize them all from an air vent.

Yes, I expected lots of fluffy and cuddly exotic animals with precocious kids but what I did not expect was a menagerie of emotions, as a likeable young family cope with the sudden aftermath of grief.
The evergreen Matt Damon plays Benjamin Mee, a recently widowed young father of two, who, on the spur of the moment, quits his job and decides to buy a rundown wildlife park in Southern California. Benjamin's older brother Duncan (the sardonic Thomas Haden Church) tells him to "travel the stages of grief but stop before you get to the zebras!".
Mee goes far beyond zebras, he also has lions, tigers and bears to contend with. But proving much more difficult for him to tame are his two children, seven year old daughter Rosie, the savvy and cute Maggie Elizabeth Jones and troubled teenager Dylan, the sullen and sulky Colin Ford.
Benjamin Mee is still in mourning for his wife and the children are still grieving for their mum. But will the seemingly absurd act of buying a zoo bring this fractured family back together again?
Also joining the mishmash of fierce creatures in the zoo is an odd collection of zookeepers led by the intrepid Kelly Foster played by Scarlett Johansson. Okay, it's obvious that Damon and Johansson will end up together, but hey, that's what happens in Hollywood movies.
But We Bought A Zoo is not a work of fiction but based on the memoirs of the real Benjamin Mee, a English journalist and young widowed father, who did indeed buy a zoo, Dartmoor Zoo in Devon.
The book was published in over twenty countries, became a television series and is now a Hollywood movie.
I always look forward to watching director Cameron Crowe's films (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous) or should I say listen to his superior soundtracks. For this former Rolling Stone rock journalist, music and movies were simply born to run.
We Bought A Zoo is no exception, with a great set of new songs from Jonsi, former front man of Sigur Ros and a perfect playlist of classic songs featuring amongst others, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Echo & the Bunnymen and Cat Stevens. It is a terrific treat to sit in the audio luxury of a surround sound cinema and listen to such sweet music.
Matt Damon excels once again, bringing not only great charm to the central role but also the angst of a parent forced to start again. In one memorable scene with tormented teen Dylan, he roars at his son to listen, only to discover that he is the one who has not been listening.
We Bought A Zoo is a feel good then feel bad but ultimately a feel good movie again. A family adventure set to stir wilder hearts and animal passions. I've been to the zoo. I think you should go too.
We Bought A Zoo (Cert PG) is on general release from Friday 16th March.

I learned a long time ago you can't please everyone so I live to please one person and thats me. I love music it has brought me through a lot of my darkest days. I love penguins, stars, and the color pink. I love sports. My favorite teams are the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pittsburgh Penguins. I also love racing. my favorite driver is Kasey Kahne. anything else you want to know don't be afraid to use the ask box :)
Once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.

Complete Story
November 2012 OPA Extern Profile: Minh-Duc Vu
Name: Minh-Duc Vu
Undergraduate degree/institution: Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from McNeese State University
Hobbies: Collectible card games and board games of all sorts
How did you get interested in the profession of pharmacy? I have several family members who also graduated from UC as pharmacists, so the career was something I have been considering since high school.
Why did you choose OPA as a rotation? I served on OPA's Board of Trustees and the rotation was highly recommended from the UC student from last year, Eric Gillespie. I have been active with OPA and I hope to continue my activities and further learn about the organization through this rotation.
What was the most significant or surprising experience at OPA? The most significant event I had at OPA was the Fall Membership Harvest. It exemplified what OPA's greatest challenge, which is to get Ohio pharmacists to join the organization. It made members stand in front of their peers and condense the many benefits of the organization to a few sentences that would convince them to join.
What other pharmacy associations/organizations do you belong to? APhA-ASP, SSHP-OSHP-ASHP, NCPA, Pharmacy Tribunal

Kim Jong-Il gets recognition he craves
08/30/10 at 5:09pm by Letters Editor | Comments
North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-Il wanted desperately to gain world stature by negotiating with a US president during George W. Bush's administration. Bush refused and forced him to join the now famous six-party talks. Kim left those talks and has now finally achieved his goal of at least forcing one ex-US president to visit his country and speak […]

Hey guys, Good to see a fresh set of enthusiastic applicants on this thread.
I am a current rsm mba student - started a while back in Jan'12. I understand all the anxiety and apprehensions that we face before making a big decision like an mba abroad. So, would love to help you guys out in any way I can by trying to answer queries you might have.
But Please understand that I would not be able to answer any questions related to "placements" as the data is collected by the school only after the students graduate. Apart from that, I would be more than happy to sort out anything I can.
So, all the best to everyone and hope to see as many ppl as possible next yr here :)
P.S. - I might not be able to respond quickly everytime because of the schedule here but will try my best to get things cleared.

Middle-aged men, hold onto your wives! Tom Jones is coming to town. In what may be the sexiest day in Downtown Disney history, this 68-year-old pop icon (feels weird even saying that) is making an open-shirt appearance at the House of Blues. Since his glory days as a 60s polyester sex-symbol, Jones has turned his quaky baritone and fierce pelvic gyrations into a career that has spanned four decades and sold more than 100 million albums. His 2008 studio effort, 24 Hours , was Jones first recording in 15 years. But its his legendary Las Vegas performances for panty-chucking fans at the MGM Grand that keep his career alive. And in order to bring a bit of Vegas atmosphere to the party, the House of Blues has even thrown in a buffet package with a Tom Jones theme. Were talking dishes with names such as Whats New Fish and Shrimp Creole and Whoa Whoa Whoa White Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding. What, no Sex Bomb Sundae?

'Sector-led improvement' is the approach to improvement put in place by councils and the LGA alongside the abolition of the previous national performance framework.
The approach, the core principles and key components and their application in specific service areas are described in Sector-led improvement in local government (PDF, 16 pages, 1.0MB large file)
The LGA is making available a range of practical support, on a free of charge and or subsidised basis, to enable councils to exploit the opportunities that this new approach to improvement provides.
Read an updated summary guide to our improvement and innovation services
The approach works and is a success story for the sector. That's the conclusion from our exhaustive two year programme of evaluation research that sought views from national stakeholders (including officials from government departments and the inspectorates), council leaders, chief executives and directors, and monitored a wide range of performance metrics.
The evaluation, published in May 2014, demonstrates that:
- residents remain satisfied with and continue to trust their local council, despite the increasing financial constraints being faced by the sector.
- councils' performance across a range of metrics continues to improve
- the approach and offer of support from the LGA is welcomed and valued by councils.
This is a considerable achievement for the sector against a backdrop of councils nationally having their funding cut by 40 per cent in real terms since 2010, increased demographic pressures and national policy changes. Further details and the evaluation report are below.
The LGA will continue to keep the approach under review and to develop new support offers to meet the changing challenges faced by councils.
Examples of how councils are embracing the approach are contained in:
Sector-led improvement case studies (PDF, 28 pages, 677KB)
Further examples are included in the case studies section on this page.
LGA support offer
The LGA is making available a range of support on a free of charge and or subsidised basis to enable councils to exploit the opportunities that this new approach to improvement provides.
Find out more about the seven-point offer
Councils are encouraged to consider how they might take advantage of this seven-point offer, although we do expect that the sector will take steps to enhance the way they are locally accountable. In addition, councils will continue to support each other through, for example, the use of peers. Through our offer, we will provide approaches to help councils with these objectives. We will also ensure that inspection does not creep back by keeping an overview of the performance of the sector and the wider regulatory regime.
"Councils are accountable to their local residents, not central government departments. Ultimately, they will be judged by how effectively they deliver services, rather than whether the right boxes have been ticked on a Whitehall bureaucrat's template form.
"The LGA's offer is designed to help what is already the most directly accessible and accountable level of government to become even more responsive to local residents."
Councillor Peter Fleming, Chairman of the LGA Improvement Board.
Accessing support: the role of the LGA Principal Advisers
Councils can access support through our regionally based Principal Advisers (PAs). PAs are the LGA's focal point for discussions with councils about their improvement needs and the support we can make available, working with existing sector owned improvement bodies at sub-national level and with colleagues supporting children's services improvement and adults/health.
The LGA Principal Advisers Map
LGA finance support offer
The LGA is engaged in an extensive programme of work to try to influence funding for local government. At the same time we have developed a "finance offer" to help councils.
Increasingly councils have told us they are looking for good practice and support to help them manage their overall finances in these difficult times. This can range from achieving productivity or efficiency savings through to ways of helping them engage with their local communities to prioritise how they spend reduced resources.
This finance offer relies on making use of expertise in the sector, both member and officer peers. It includes a new financial health check; a new budget challenge; new tools to allow councils to assess their own financial position and consider opportunities and threats to their financial strategy; highlights key elements of our existing offer, in particular around productivity and efficiency; and signposts the contributions that others such as Local Partnerships can make.
We hope councils will find this helpful. Please talk to your Principal Adviser if you are interested in pursuing any aspect of this or any other LGA support offer.
Health and care improvement programmes
The LGA delivers a number of adult social care and health improvement programmes in partnership with the Department of Health, the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) and others.
We are a key partner in these programmes because each has at its core the principles of sector-led improvement and the belief that councils and their local partners are best placed to drive their own improvement.
The programmes include:
- Towards excellence in adult social care (TEASC), including Making safeguarding personal
- Care Act: implementing the care and support reforms
- Health and wellbeing system improvement
- Integration and the Better Care Fund
- Winterbourne View joint improvement programme.
Further details about adult social care and health improvement programmes
Improvement in children's services
The improvement offer direct to councils includes:
- Providing nationally accredited and quality assured courses for practitioners and associates engaging in peer review, challenge or diagnostic activity and maintaining an availability register
- Running a series of Leadership Essentials (formerly Leadership Academies) residential course for lead members
- Developing and/or brokering, where need is evidenced, a flexible and responsive offer of bespoke diagnostic or peer review tools either to individual authorities or as part of a regional offer or as may be commissioned by DfE for authorities in intervention. These may be offered on a whole cost, subsidised or free basis.
Children's Improvement Associates have also been appointed by the LGA to work with our Principle Advisers in each of the regions along with a prime associate with strategic overview to pull together learning from each of the regions and advise on the best support to councils.
Further details are available in the improvement support section of this website
Culture, tourism and sport
The LGA offers a wide range of programmes and tools to help councils tackle the challenges and take advantages of the opportunities for culture, tourism and sport.
Further details are available in the Culture and Sport section of this website
The Planning Advisory Service (PAS)
PAS provides consultancy and peer support, learning events and online resources to help local authorities understand and respond to planning reform.
The LGA has published an evaluation of sector-led improvement.
The evaluation report demonstrates that:
- Residents remain satisfied with and continue to trust their local council, despite the increasing financial constraints being faced by the sector. More than two-thirds of people (70 per cent) are very or fairly satisfied with the way their council runs things and when people were asked whether they trusted councils or Government most to make decisions about how services were provided in their local area, 77 per cent said local councils.
- Councils' performance continues to improve. Analysis of a series of 97 metrics, across the full range of local government activity shows a positive direction of travel, with approximately three quarters of these metrics having seen an improvement since 2010.
- The approach and offer of support from the LGA is welcomed and valued by councils. In a survey of senior members and officers conducted for the evaluation, 93 per cent of leaders who were aware of the offer and 93 per cent of chief executives said that the support and resources offered by the LGA had had a positive impact on their authority.
This is a considerable achievement for the sector against a backdrop of councils nationally having their funding cut by 40 per cent in real terms since 2010, increased demographic pressures and national policy changes.
Councils' commitment to the approach is evidenced by its support for and take up of peer challenge. By March 2014, councils had contributed more than 2,500 days of senior councillor and officer time to corporate peer challenge teams, representing a considerable investment by the sector in its own improvement – equivalent to millions of pounds worth of consultancy.
The evaluation ran over a two year period up until early 2014, with the main aim of understanding whether, in the context of reduced resources within local government:
- the approach to sector-led improvement has the confidence of the sector and the government, and the trust of the public
- the sector has been able to strengthen local accountability
- the sector is adopting the sector-led improvement approach and continues to improve with a reduced burden of inspection, and in the absence of top down performance assessment
- the tools offered to the sector have had a positive impact on the sector's capacity to improve itself.
A further key aim of the evaluation was to provide information that will enable the LGA to continue to refine and improve the approach and support offer to local authorities.
Further information and view the evaluation report here
Further information
The LGA will continue to keep sector colleagues informed about the progress of the sector-led improvement work, but if you would like more information or to contribute please email Dennis Skinner at: email@example.com

Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
I gotta do WHAT for a bonus? No way!
Quick quiz: Down in Bolivia, the ruling party has proposed a new Labor Code that would give workers a bonus for…
a) exceeding their sales quota
b) working on weekends
c) showing up for work early
d) showing up for work on time
Yeah, I missed this one, too. It turns out, the bonus would be for getting their butts to work ON TIME every day. That's it.
"Boss! How come I didn't get my bonus for February?"
"Well, Lonnie, you were an hour late for work every day, so you didn't qualify for the new Look At Me, I Was On Time bonus."
"Fair enough, Boss, but shouldn't I at least get the I Was Only An Hour Late bonus?"
If I could find my guidance counselor right now…
Blog Guy, I hear your career advice is great. I'm graduating soon, and I'll be looking for something good. My dad always said I should have a desk job.
Then I've got a great career path for you. Check out this guy in the photo. That could be you.
It hurts so bad! Too much to think about!
Somebody needs to help me out with this one. We have TWO photos purporting to show fashion models "listening to instructions" before presenting creations at a fashion show.
I can buy a team of surgeons getting final instructions before creating the Six Million Dollar Man, but what kind of instructions do models need to hear?
That's gonna hurt coming off…
What a frickin' crap-fest of a day day this is!
Here I am, sittin' outside under the bananas, peeling green beans! I hope my friends don't see me. Could it get any worse?
Say, who are those goofballs coming up the street?
Hah, looks like they're supporters of some presidential candidate, and they're puttin' bumper stickers on everybody's car.

Marc and the team worked hard all day trying various set ups on the RC213V machine, taking important feedback to put them in the best position for the February tests. They had planned a long run at the end of the day but after just 10 laps of the run, rain arrived to interrupt proceedings once again. Marc completed 41 laps on his final day with a fastest lap time of 2'01.56.
Marc Márquez
"At the beginning of the day the track was slightly wet from last night's rain, the same as yesterday morning, so we didn't go on track until 11.45am. We tested many things today, we knew that some wouldn't work but it gives us an idea and direction for the testing here in Febraury next year. In the end I am very happy because my lap time was pretty constant and I feel a good rhythm on the bike now. We planned a long run at the end of the day but then the rain arrived again around 4.30pm.
Physically, I'm happy —for sure I need to do some work now in the winter to arrive at the next test stronger and fitter but in general I feel good, even on the longer run of 10 laps today, the lap time was consistent and I felt strong. It's been a good test and I feel we have improved each day, now we must wait a few months until we are back here with everyone else!"

The Miami Dolphins still have finished their round one practice squad. I say that because by the time this article is written, it might change. No seriously. Jeff Ireland loves to tinker and play around with the bottom five of the roster. Tony Sparano does as well, so despite the fact that a player survives the bloody cuts on Saturday, there is still a chance that they won't have a job for long. Case in point, Frank Kearse.
Kearse became the first and so far only 2011 draft pick not to make the final 53 man roster. The DT may be a candidate for the practice squad when he clears waivers. Which, as I stated above, means that while the PS is full now, it may change.
Kearse was released to make way for TE Will Yeatman. Yeatman a former star lacrosse player was highly regarded in New England. The Patriots hoped to get him signed to their practice squad.
The Dolphins also have camp TE Brett Brackett on the PS as well as CB Vincent Agnew. Rounding out the final five, QB Pat Devlin signed with the team yesterday, as did WR Julius Pruitt, RB Nicolas Grigsby, and two offensive lineman. DJ Jones and Garrett Chisolm. Chisolm, injured has yet to practice in training camp.
The Dolphins decided not to pursue two former offensive line Pro-Bowlers. Andre' Gurode a PB center and Brian Waters a PB guard. Both found homes yesterday with the Balitmore Ravens and New England Patriots respectively. The team did however work out TE Dante' Rosario formerly of the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers. Putting into question the future of TE Jeron Mastrud who made the final 53.
While the Dolphins may take a passive approach to signing vested veterans who's contract would be guaranteed if signed prior to the first game of the season, the Dolphins do need to realize that their first opponent is a formidable one and that the New England game will have an impact on the division outcome in December. The team still has seven days to get a new player acclimated to their system.
The Dolphins will kick-off their 2011 season as the first game of a Monday night double header a week from today.

Sorry for the long story, but I simply have to share. I design custom decals to bring messages of inspiration, hope, and creativity to peoples lives. I've designed decals of everything from lyrics and poems, to tv and movie quotes, to completely random quotes that don't mean anything to me, but mean the world to my customers. When people contact me, and tell me a bit about themselves and what they want, I can usually offer many ideas to inspire them. But when I was recently contacted by a young woman who is recovering from an eating disorder, I had no clue where to begin.
She knew who I was, and what I do, and specifically asked for something to put on her bathroom scale. I really struggled with this because she just wanted something simple to see everyday to help her to keep from falling back to her eating disorder, and so I really wanted to help her as much as I could. I sent her the decal shown in the picture, and quickly regretted it. When she received it she called me right away and immediately broke down to tears on the phone. I thought to myself "oh man I really screwed up this one..what was I thinking sending her something that suggested that she's not perfect the way she is?" I thought maybe I should've kept my own personal opinion to myself and just made a decal that said she was perfect the way she is or something. But as it turned out, it was exactly what she needed. She had been told many times that she's perfect the way she is, and she needed to be told that it's ok to not be perfect. Because there is no such thing as perfect people, or the perfect body, only real people, with real bodies.
What do you want to be?
Finally done my wall!

Mutual Funds:
Information on Trends in Fees and Their Related Disclosure
GAO-03-551T: Published: Mar 12, 2003. Publicly Released: Mar 12, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8678
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Millions of U.S. households have invested in mutual funds whose value exceeds $6 trillion. The fees and other costs that these investors pay as part of owning mutual funds can significantly affect their investment returns. Recent press reports suggest that mutual fund fees have increased during the market downturn in the last few years. In addition, questions have been raised as to whether the disclosures of these fees and other costs, such as brokerage commissions, are sufficiently transparent. GAO updated its analysis from its June 2000 report, which showed the trends in mutual fund fees from 1990 and 1998 for large funds by collecting data on how these 76 funds' fees changed between 1998 to 2001. GAO also reviewed the Securities and Exchange Commission's recent rule proposal on fee disclosure as well as studies by industry.
Recent data indicate that mutual fund fees may have increased. Studies by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Investment Company Institute found that expense ratios for mutual funds overall have increased since 1980. GAO's prior analysis of large mutual funds showed that these funds' average expense ratios generally decreased between 1990 and 1998, but between 1999 and 2001, the average ratio for the large stock funds analyzed has increased somewhat while the average ratio for the large bond funds has continued to decline. The average expense ratio for these large funds overall remains lower than their average in 1990. SEC is proposing that investors receive additional information about mutual fund fees in the semiannual reports sent to fund shareholders. If adopted, these new disclosures would appear to provide additional useful information to investors and would allow for fees to be compared across funds. However, various alternatives to the disclosures that SEC is proposing could provide information specific to each investor and in a more frequently distributed and relevant document to mutual fund shareholders--the quarterly account statement, which presents information on the actual number and value of each investor's shareholdings. Industry participants have raised concerns that requiring additional disclosures in quarterly statements would be costly and that the additional benefits to investors have not been quantified.

Ok. Confession. I've been using Snort for over a decade and never ONCE
clicked or asked to see how much the VRT Rule Subscription cost for
personal use.
$30? Really? For a year? That's it?
I'm no shill here (no monetary affiliation with Sourcefire/VRT), but I
have to say I'm embarrassed to have never tossed the dimes.
I just checked the new Emerging Threats PRO subscription price and that
is $350 per sensor (no split for personal/corp when I looked).
Since both SF and ET are for profit entities now, the choice is clear
for me.
FYI, I'm not dissing ET - competition is great and they do an awesome
job. I'm just cheap, and if I'm going to pay for something (personally
or for the corp or gov overlords), I want the best value.
Just had to toss that out before I head to bed. That and, when are the
AIX SO rules going to be released!? ;-)

There are a lot of people who find that either acting (because they know the words ahead of time) or singing completely gets rid of a stutter. There are a couple of guys on American Idol right now who stutter when they're talking but it disappears totally when they sing.

It simply displays the current battery level in text and with color. The colors are configurable using a simple but powerful configurer.
There are three states "low" (0-15%), "good" (16-30%) and "full" (31-100%) which can have different colors in each widgets. The default colors for these states are: green for full, yellow for good and red for low.
The widget also indicates when the device is plugged into a power-source. The widget is capable of showing 1% changes but if the device supports it.

When clicking on the widget you will see detailed information on the device's battery and a button to re-configure the colors of the current widget.

This widget does not drain battery - it only updates when screen is active and the Android Platform sends battery-updates!
There will not be a Pro-Version because a Battery Widgets can't be complex enough to be worth more than a donation.

As developer I'm always looking for new ideas and would be happy to receive as much feedback from users as possible (not only for new features but also new apps ;).

Former BankUnited execs could face civil suits for reckless loans, FDIC says
- 10:54 am Friday, December 11th, 2009 by Jeff Ostrowski
I'll never forget Ramiro Ortiz's visit to the Palm Beach Post in 2007, during the early days of the mortgage meltdown. Ortiz ran BankUnited, which seemed to be holding up well, and during an interview, the animated, amiable banker insisted over and over that BankUnited had avoided the mortgage madness by making only safe loans to borrowers with credit scores over 700.
Soon enough, BankUnited's "conservative" loans had turned toxic, causing huge losses and leading the FDIC to shut down the Coral Gables-based bank in June. (BankUnited operates under the same name and new ownership.)
Now the FDIC wants money from [More]
FDIC sells BankUnited's old chairs, computers and teller drawers in online auction
- 1:19 pm Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 by Jeff Ostrowski
An online auction of BankUnited office equipment won't remind anyone of the frenzied eBay bidding for Beanie Babies — and it doesn't promise to make much of a dent in the $10.7 billion in BankUnited assets that we the people now own.
Two weeks into the sale, most of the 80 items on the block had attracted two or fewer bids. The most popular item, a Dell server, had received 10 bids topping out at $60.
The priciest item, a Konica Minolta copier, has a bid for $100. But most of the stuff — a collection of desks, chairs, phones [More]
BankUnited failure costs FDIC $4.9 billion
- 5:58 pm Thursday, May 21st, 2009 by Jeff Ostrowski
The largest financial institution based in Florida today became the largest bank failure of the year.
Federal regulators closed BankUnited and sold its assets to a group of investors that includes Palm Beach resident Wilbur Ross.
The arrangement was the "least costly" outcome for the troubled thrift, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said in a statement — but the failure still will cost the FDIC $4.9 billion, Bloomberg reports.
BankUnited, which had 86 offices and assets of $12.8 billion, was felled by bad bets on the Flroida real estate market. The bank will keep its name but will be owned by WL Ross & Co. and Carlyle Group. It will be run by former North Fork Bancorp Chief Executive John Kanas.

Triple Helix: Designing a New Molecule of Life
By SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
Added: Mon, 24 Nov 2008 00:00:00 UTC
Thanks to SPS for the link.
Reposted from:
For all the magnificent diversity of life on this planet, ranging from tiny bacteria to majestic blue whales, from sunshine-harv est ing plants to mineral-digesting endoliths miles underground, only one kind of âlife as we know itâ exists. All these organisms are based on nucleic acids—DNA and RNA—and proteins, working together more or less as described by the so-called central dogma of molecular biology: DNA stores information that is transcribed into RNA, which then serves as a template for producing a protein. The proteins, in turn, serve as important structural elements in tissues and, as enzymes, are the cellâs workhorses.
Yet scientists dream of synthesizing life that is utterly alien to this world—both to better understand the minimum components required for life (as part of the quest to uncover the essence of life and how life originated on earth) and, frankly, to see if they can do it. That is, they hope to put together a novel combination of molecules that can self-organize, metabolize (make use of an energy source), grow, reproduce and evolve.

I currently can't send or receive email though Outlook via POP or SMTP. I'm using the SSL ports 995 & 465. Outlook reports that the server never responds.I've tried telneting to these ports on mail.comcast.net and smtp.comcast.net and I can connect, so I'm not sure what the problem is. My Outlook settings haven't change and have been working for a long time before this happened.Is anyone else seeing this?
Working OK here.
I assume that your internet connection is fine. Create a new profile and then try to send and receive mail through this profile. If it works some changes have been made to your profile, delete the old one and start using the new profile. If the new profile doesnt work try the following steps.1. Go to run and type ncpa.cpl and then press enter. It will open the Network connections window.2. Right click your internet connection and then click properties.3. On the General tab, make sure that the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) check box is selected. Your computer will prompt you to restart the computer. Restart and try to send and receive through email.Your Firewall or Antivirus may be blocking the outlook from sending or receiving email. Check your antivirus website for any suggestions. You may also try to authenticate your email. Go to Windows mail, under Tools click Accounts, in the mail click your email account and then click Properties, in the Server tab under Outgoing Mail server, select My Server requires authentication check box.
I don't use Outlook but I had the same problem a few days ago with sending. I resolved it by adding my password and user name and changed to port 465.--The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun.P. G. Wodehouse
I know you said this is through Outlook, but I wanted to add to what Markart said about Firewalls and ports.Once I put my home built firewall (used Smoothwall), my mother had trouble sending mail from Thunderbird using her comcast e-mail. Now, prior to me doing this, she had no problems.

Has anyone visited Format 13? If so, what were your impressions?
I enjoyed the exhibitions very much. I'm going on the Derby at Work photo walk tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
What a shambles. Yesterday morning I looked at the tickets for the walk and found they were for the wrong day. The date was actually in the small print, believe it or not, and had gone unnoticed for that reason. On arriving in Derby we were told that yesterday's walk had been cancelled due to insufficient numbers, probably due to people being booked on the wrong day!
This experience has soured the whole event for me. I will probably not bother with it in future.
It was supposed to happen on Easter Sunday, but as I said, we were told it was on, then we were told it was cancelled for lack of numbers. Might make it for the day they booked us on in error, but I doubt it - other commitments. The title refers to places rather than people actually working, which is why a holiday weekend was not inappropriate.

Heart Disease Health Center
New Hope Found for Dangerous Heart Infection
Nov. 10, 2000 -- A new use for an old drug may help save the lives of children suffering from a life-threatening heart condition.
When five children very sick with acute myocarditis were treated with a drug called OKT3, they experienced a dramatic recovery. There is no real treatment for the disease other than supportive care. But with this experimental therapy, the children were able to regain normal heart function.
Myocarditis is an infection of the muscle tissue of the heart and is almost always caused by a virus. In children, symptoms can occur very suddenly and abruptly, and they can become gravely ill within 24 hours.
OKT3 was approved by the FDA back in 1986 and is used to suppress the immune systems of transplant patients, so their bodies don't reject new organs.
But in a study appearing in the current issue of the journal Heart and Lung Transplantation, researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles tried a new tactic to treat these children -- using OKT3. The study also included steroids and several other drugs that suppress the immune system.
"It's not actually the virus that causes the problem, but the body's immune response to it," says study author Juan C. Alejos, MD. The soldiers of the immune system -- white blood cells -- attack the virus, but they also damage the heart muscle in the process.
In transplant patients, OKT3 stops the body's response to whatever the immune system is attacking, "and hopefully, it reverses the rejection. It's the same theory here, that using the OKT3 to blunt the body's [immune] response will reduce the amount of damage to the heart," says Alejos, who is the director of the pediatric heart transplant program at UCLA.
All five children, ranging in age from 15 months to 16 years, received a combination of drugs, which included OKT3.
"We started to see results within 72 to 96 hours," Alejos says. "Their heart function started to improve. If we could keep them supported to that point, we usually knew by that point we'd see improvement."
While all of the children experienced complete recovery, one patient died as a result of other complications. The surviving patients continued taking medication to suppress their immune systems for six months, and none of them experienced a return of the disease or any long-term damage to their heart.
Since the time of the study, a total of nine patients have received the treatment, and all are doing well.
The results are very promising, says Anthony Rossi, MD, but it's really too soon to draw any conclusions. "It's a small sample set, and it's probably worthwhile to say that this is an exciting new treatment with the potential to help many children with a disorder that has no real excellent treatment -- but it's very preliminary," says Rossi, who was not involved in the study and is director of the cardiac intensive unit at Miami Children's Hospital in Florida.

August 29, 2007
TT: Way up north (II)
• AUGUST 6 To Stonington, Maine, memorably portrayed by John Marin in two gorgeous watercolors hanging in Colby College's Marin Collection. (Go here and click on the seventh image to get an impression of what this delightful coastal fishing town looks like.) Then via mail boat to Isle au Haut, seven miles off the Maine coast, which I last visited in 2003 in order to write the following Wall Street Journal column:
Six months ago, I bought a Fairfield Porter lithograph. Two weeks ago, I stood at the edge of a rocky cove near the southern tip of a remote island off the coast of Maine, looking at the same scene Porter viewed when he sketched "Isle au Haut." To get there, I hiked for two sweaty hours along a narrow woodland trail, stepping over snakes and trying not to turn an ankle. What possessed a flabby, chair-bound critic like me to make such a journey? It seemed like a good idea as I sat in the air-conditioned comfort of my home office, but I started having second, third and fourth thoughts as I trudged up the Goat Trail of Isle au Haut.
Porter isn't exactly a household name, but many connoisseurs consider him one of the greatest American artists (and art critics) of the 20th century, an astonishingly original representational painter whose style fuses two seemingly disparate idioms: the intimate domestic realism of Bonnard and Vuillard and the excitingly free brushwork of Willem de Kooning and other Abstract Expressionists. I knew I wanted to own something by Porter when I first started buying art, and I was lucky to find a good impression of this, the last lithograph he made before his death in 1975 at the age of 68. In it, a cove rimmed by pine-topped cliffs is loosely rendered in flat, irregularly shaped blotches of green, grey, tan and dusty pink. It is at once abstract and representational, a heightened vision of the craggy Maine landscapes Porter loved. When I heard that the Portland Museum of Art was showing a retrospective exhibition of his paintings, I got the idea of visiting the show, then looking for the actual cove portrayed in "Isle au Haut."
This turned out to be rather more complicated than trying to find the well-known spots where Monet or Cézanne stood when painting their celebrated plein air landscapes. The isolated Isle au Haut is no resort. It consists mainly of rugged wilderness, though it is also home to 47 year-round residents who pronounce its name "eye-la-HOE." The only place for visitors to stay is the tiny Keeper's House Inn. Unfazed by the lack of electricity or telephones, I booked a room, and a few weeks later clambered aboard the mail boat from Stonington to Isle au Haut. Just two days before, I'd been walking through the Portland Museum, where I found a 1974 painting by Porter called "Cliffs of Isle au Haut," the original version of my lithograph. The painting is three times larger and more brightly colored, but the composition is identical, and I felt sure it was a good omen.
Once I got to Isle au Haut, though, I realized I was in over my head. The 4,700-acre island was bigger than I'd thought (New York's Central Park covers just 843 acres), and the shoreline contained a wealth of coves accessible only on foot. How to find the right one in the four days I'd allotted--if at all? I showed my kindly hosts a photo of "Isle au Haut" included in a book of Porter's prints. They told me where it might be and swore I could find the spot without unreasonable difficulty. The next morning, I climbed into a battered SUV and rattled down a dirt road to the long hikers' path known as the Goat Trail that was supposed to lead me there.
About the next two hours I will say nothing other than that I spent much of it cursing for having embarked so casually on so self-evidently impossible a task. Then I stumbled over a ridge, stepped between two trees and onto a huge flat rock, and knew at once that I was standing more or less where Porter had stood. The pines were taller, making the cliffs somewhat less imposing, and three decades' worth of waves had gnawed at the shoreline. But the cool white light was the same, and so were the rocks, tan and green and--yes--pink, just as Porter had painted them. I pulled a disposable camera out of my backpack, composed a scene in the viewfinder that resembled "Isle au Haut" and took a snapshot.
As I staggered back down the Goat Trail, the baritone rumble of the offshore lobster boats ringing faintly in my ears, I remembered the remark by Porter that Justin Spring chose as the epigraph of "Fairfield Porter: A Life in Art." "When I paint," he wrote, "I think that what would satisfy me is to express what Bonnard said Renoir told him: make everything more beautiful." Once I returned to New York and looked at "Isle au Haut" with new eyes, I understood at last the profound truth behind those deceptively simple words. Yes, Porter's lithograph was realistic in the sense that it portrayed a real place recognizably--but the amazing freedom with which he transformed its contours into fields of color summed up the difference between life and art.
In the pocket of my jeans was a stone I'd found in the cove, its richly mottled surface reproducing with near-perfect fidelity the colors of "Cliffs of Isle au Haut." Now it rests on my desk, a souvenir of the August morning when I beheld the beautiful reality embodied in that even more beautiful work of art.
The Keeper's House Inn hasn't changed a bit since 2003. It's still far beyond the reach of cellphones and e-mail. The proprietors, Jeff and Judi Burke, still serve the tastiest meals imaginable. The lighthouse still beams its gentle reddish-orange glow through the windows of the candlelit third-floor garret bedroom. You can read all about it in the pages of Island Lighthouse Inn: A Chronicle, Jeff's engagingly written story of life on Isle au Haut. Alas, you can't stay there anymore, for Jeff and Judi are putting the Keeper's House Inn up for sale, and they will no longer be taking guests after the end of this season. I'm glad I got to see them one more time.
• AUGUST 9 Back to Stonington via mail boat, and from there down the coast to Ogunquit, Maine, to see The King and I at Ogunquit Playhouse (about which more here) and eat as many of Flo's Steamed Hot Dogs as I could stuff down my gullet. Order a jar of Flo's relish by mail--you won't be sorry.
Would that I could recommend the Ogunquit Museum of American Art with like fervor, but it was a disappointment, a small museum that prefers hosting second- and third-rate traveling exhibitions to hanging the treasures of its permanent collection. The view is fabulous, but otherwise my visit was a waste of time.
• AUGUST 10 To East Haddam, Connecticut, home of Goodspeed Musicals, which is currently performing High Button Shoes (about which more in Friday's Wall Street Journal drama column). Housed in an 1876 opera house that overlooks the Connecticut River, Goodspeed Musicals is one of the most picturesque theaters in America, and it also has the near-overwhelming advantage of being just fifteen minutes away from the River Tavern, my favorite of all the restaurants at which I've dined in the course of my theater-related travels.
Instructions for maximum pleasure: (1) Don't eat lunch. (2) Make a 5:30 reservation in order to dine at leisure and get to Goodspeed in plenty of time for an eight o'clock curtain. (3) Order the chocolate soufflé. (4) Spend the night at the Bishopsgate Inn, conveniently located a block from the theater. (5) Drive home the next day, secure in the knowledge that you've had a fabulous time.

text: On April 22, 2005, approximately 1130 mountain daylight time, a Ross/Stonecipher Vans RV-6 single-engine homebuilt airplane, N345JE, sustained substantial damage during a forced landing following a loss of engine power while descending near Longmont, Colorado. The airline-transport pilot, who was the sole occupant, was not injured. The airplane was registered to a private individual and operated by the pilot. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a flight plan was not filed for the Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The flight departed Skypark Airport, Bountiful, Utah, at 0920, and was destined for Longmont.In a telephone interview conducted by the NTSB investigator-in-charge (IIC), the pilot reported he purchased the airplane from a private individual in Utah. A day prior to the accident flight, the pilot test flew the airplane for approximately 40 minutes. Upon completion of the test flight, the pilot noted the engine oil had decreased approximately 1/2 quart. On the day of the accident, the pilot was flying the airplane to Kansas, with a planned intermediate fuel stop in Longmont. Prior to departure from Bountiful, the fuel tanks were topped off, and the pilot completed a preflight of the airplane. During the preflight, the pilot noted 6 quarts of oil in the engine. While descending from 12,500 feet to the Vance Brand Airport (2V2) near Longmont, the engine started to vibrate and subsequently, lost total power. The pilot reported no anomalies during the flight prior to the engine vibration. The pilot initiated a forced landing, and the airplane came to rest upright in a field approximately 3 miles from 2V2. After the forced landing, the pilot checked the oil and noted the oil "barely" measured on the dipstick. No evidence of oil was noted in the engine cowling or along the bottom of the fuselage. The right wing sustained substantial damage to the spar, and the main landing gear were bent.The airplane was recovered to the facilities of Beegles Aircraft, Greeley, Colorado, for further examination by the NTSB.On May 4, 2005, at the Beegles Aircraft facility, the Lycoming IO-360-A1A engine was examined by the NTSB IIC. Examination of the engine revealed approximately 3 quarts of oil in the engine. A crack in the crankcase was noted below the number 2 cylinder, and no evidence of residual oil around the crack was noted. The two crankcase halves were separated, and all four connecting rod journals and connecting rod caps and straps displayed discoloration and heat signatures consistent with oil starvation. The number 2 and 3 connecting rod assemblies were fragmented and destroyed. No debris or contamination was noted within the crankshaft oil passages. The crankshaft main bearings were secure and the main journals were undamaged. No discoloration was noted in the cylinder bores and the piston rings were intact. According to the Champion Spark Check-A-Plug Chart, the electrodes displayed signatures consistent with normal operation. The airplane was equipped with a Christen inverted oil system. Examination of the inverted oil system's separator revealed a black residue in the unit which also partially blocked the separator ports. According to Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1397, "Overflow Oil From Breather Fitting of Inverted Oil System," reports had been received from the field of oil being exhausted overboard through the breather fitting. The loss of oil in that manner could cause the engine to become inoperative in a short period. The loss of oil from the breather fitting could be caused by an excessive amount of residue in the oil separator and oil line. The instruction states, "As a means of forestalling any problems that may arise from residue in the inverted oil system, it is recommended that the oil system be disconnected from the engine and flushed with a petroleum solvent...every 300 hours of operation, or at anytime there is evidence of oil being discharged from the breather fitting."A review of the maintenance records revealed the engine had accumulated 829 hours since major overhaul. The most recent conditional inspection was completed on October 7, 2004, at a tachometer time of 790 hours. The tachometer time at the time of the accident was 797 hours. According to a mechanic, the engine oil and filter had been changed prior to the pilot's test flight. In addition, the mechanic completed a compression check and noted "normal" compression on all cylinders. No logbooks entries were noted for compliance with Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1397; however, no entry was required by Federal Aviation Regulations.
