The Beginning
Blissful Ignorance
In the early 1960s Ed Snider wasn't the multimillionaire sports and entertainment mogul he is today.
Snider was living in Washington, D.C., where he co-owned a record company. In New York on business, Snider met up with a friend, Juggy Gayles, presumably to go to dinner. However, Gayles had a different idea.
"He had seats at the old [Madison Square] Garden," Snider said, "and he said, "Come on, my buddies and I are going to the game and I'll take you.' I said, "What game?' He said, "Rangers and Montreal.' I said, "What are you talking about?' That's how little I knew."
For Ed Snider, hockey was love at first sight. Actually, it was love for Gump Worsley.
Growing up in Washington, Snider followed the Washington Redskins, and as a kid enjoyed the old Washington Senators, but he had never seen anything like pint-sized Gumper the goalie.
"Maybe it was the fact that he didn't look like an athlete or that he wasn't wearing a mask, I'm not sure," Snider said in Full Spectrum. "But I know I was fascinated with Worsley. I thought, "This is the greatest spectator sport I've ever seen.'"
Not long after that, Snider's record company hit a bad patch, and he and his partner sold out.
In 1964, Snider, along with a brother-in-law, Earl Foreman, and one of Foreman's law clients, developer Jerry Wolman, purchased the Philadelphia Eagles. Snider, who owned a 7-percent stake in the team, moved to Philadelphia to become the team's treasurer.
That winter Snider was in Boston on business when he went with friends to a Celtics–76ers NBA game. Who won was irrelevant; in the end, it was the city of Philadelphia that came out on top.
As Snider's group was leaving Boston Garden, Snider noticed a line at the ticket window. It was a remarkably long line for a late Sunday afternoon.
"I asked my friend, "What is that line for?'" Snider said. "And he said, "It's for the hockey game tomorrow.' I said, "Are they in the playoffs? Big rivalry?' He said no, they put a thousand seats on sale for every game and people line up the night before to buy them. They're in last place, but it doesn't matter, the fans here just love hockey."
By 1965 Snider's main task was financing Wolman's dream of a multi-purpose stadium that could house his Eagles and the Philadelphia Phillies (Wolman also owned their home, Connie Mack Stadium). The building was going to be erected on the south end of Broad Street, near the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
During a meeting with Bill Putnam, an executive with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company in New York — Putnam had helped set up the loan that allowed Wolman's group to buy the Eagles — Putnam told Snider he was leaving Morgan to move to Los Angeles and run Jack Kent Cooke's sports properties. Cooke was a minority owner of the Redskins and also owned the Los Angeles Lakers. He was planning on building a new home for his basketball team in suburban Inglewood, California. For a second tenant in his Fabulous Forum, Cooke had applied for a National Hockey League expansion franchise.
Snider was shocked. "I said, "Wait, what did you say? They're expanding in the National Hockey League?' There was nothing in the papers here — the only story had been a six-paragraph blurb buried in the Philadelphia Daily News. Nobody knew anything. He said the National Hockey League is going to double in size, and he named a bunch of cities. I asked about Philadelphia, and he said, "I'm sure Philadelphia would be one they would consider, but there's no arena, there's no anything.'"
While Putnam was explaining the NHL's grand plan to add six new teams, an earlier meeting with Philadelphia 76ers owner Ike Richman rebounded into Snider's mind. Richman had approached Snider about convincing Wolman to build a new home for his basketball team. The 76ers had been playing at Convention Hall, near the University of Pennsylvania, but he wanted a new, modern building. At the time, Snider had told Richman that the Eagles weren't in the arena-construction business.
Suddenly pieces of a puzzle began coming together in Snider's mind — the NHL's expansion, the growing population of the Philadelphia region thanks to the rapidly developing southern New Jersey suburbs, and an NBA team looking for a new building.
Snider was sure hockey would work in Philadelphia. He knew the passion of Philadelphia sports fans, how they lived and died with the local teams. If Boston fans would stand in the cold to buy tickets for a last-place hockey team, he knew Philadelphia fans would love the NHL just as much if they were exposed to it.
What Snider didn't know was the ignominious history of hockey in Philadelphia. Most fans don't know the Flyers were not Philadelphia's first NHL team.
In the 1920s former light-heavyweight boxing champion Benny Leonard owned the Pittsburgh Pirates, but by the end of that decade, the team needed a new arena. During construction, the team was moved to Philadelphia and renamed the Quakers.
The Philadelphia Quakers' one season of existence, the 1930–31 season, was historical for one reason: sheer ineptitude. In 44 games, the team went 4–36–4. The four wins are the fewest ever posted by an NHL team, and the .136 winning percentage remains the second-lowest in league history. After the season, Leonard folded the franchise. He lost so much money on the team he was forced to return to prizefighting.
There also were a number of failed minor-league hockey experiments in town.
The Philadelphia Arrows of the Canadian-American Hockey League played at the Philadelphia Arena on Market Street from 1927 to 1935; the team later became a minor-league affiliate of the New York Rangers and was renamed the Ramblers. The Ramblers played until 1941, when they were renamed the Rockets, then folded in 1942.
The Philadelphia Comets of the Tri-State Hockey League blinked in and out of existence in four months, just in time to lose all 16 games they played in the 1932–33 season.
The Philadelphia Falcons played in the Eastern Amateur Hockey League from 1942 to 1946, and then ceased play until the 1951–52 season. The second version of the Falcons, though, didn't make it to the 1952 part of their schedule, as the team was disbanded in December 1951 due to poor attendance.
According to Philadelphia hockey historian Bruce Cooper, hockey's death knell in the city could best be summarized in a quote from Peter A. Tyrell, president and general manager of the Philadelphia Arena, when he announced the Falcons' folding: "The attendance this season to date has proven that there are not enough Philadelphians interested in hockey to warrant its continuance."
The Philadelphia Rockets of the American Hockey League gave the town another shot, playing from 1946 to 1949. They barely lasted the first season, though, as the Rockets went 5–52–7, for a winning percentage of .078, an all-level record of futility that remains today.
The Philadelphia Ramblers of the Eastern Hockey League played decent but undistinguished hockey from 1955 to 1964 before moving to Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and becoming the Jersey Devils.
Snider knew nothing of this inglorious hockey history; for today's Flyers fans, his ignorance is their bliss.
"I was young and full of enthusiasm," Snider said in the Flyers video, Twenty-Five Years of Pride and Tradition. "I had seen hockey and loved it. I had seen its success in the six cities that had it. But I didn't realize the history of hockey in Philadelphia or in other places. Maybe if I had, I wouldn't have gone through with it."
Snider suggested to Wolman that they should build an arena — the parking lot of the previously planned stadium was a desired location — and apply for an NHL franchise. Wolman thought it would be a good idea, and they planned to move forward.
First for Snider was a visit to Bill Jennings, president of the New York Rangers and the head of the expansion committee.
A number of cities already had submitted bids, among them Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Los Angeles, Baltimore, and Vancouver, but Snider said Jennings was ecstatic when the idea of a team in Philadelphia was mentioned.
"He was just glad I showed up," Snider said. "It's a great metropolitan area, a great rivalry for New York. He was great to me from the day I met him."
Jennings gave Snider the bid parameters. First, there was a $10,000 application fee. Also, there needed to be an arena with a seating capacity of at least 12,500. All applicants would have to make presentations to the NHL Board of Governors, outlining why the NHL would work in their area. And there was a $2 million franchise fee.
Snider was on board, and said his only request was that his bid be kept secret so it would be the only one coming out of Philadelphia. Jennings agreed.
Snider took his arena plan to Philadelphia city councilman Paul D'Ortona and Mayor James Tate. The mayor especially was pleased that a 15,000-seat, privately financed arena could be built in the parking lot of what eventually would become Veterans Stadium, and fast-tracked the project.
Now all Snider had to do was prepare the franchise presentation.
First he enlisted Putnam, who decided working for the demanding Cooke was not the job for him. He joined Snider, Wolman, and Jerry Schiff, a brother-in-law of Snider, as the nascent club owners. It was agreed Putnam would own 25 percent and hold the title of team president, while Schiff, Wolman and Snider each would own 22 percent. The remaining nine percent was purchased by friends of Wolman and Snider.
A five-page brochure was printed to explain to NHL owners that with a population base of 5.5 million and three established professional sports franchises, the hockey team could join the Phillies, Eagles and 76ers in the pantheon of Philadelphia sports.
On February 8, 1966, at the St. Regis Hotel in New York, Wolman and Putnam met with the NHL Board of Governors and made their pitch.
The next day, the phone rang in Putnam's hotel room. It was Jennings. "You're in," was all he said.
Snider, who had stayed behind in Philadelphia, joined Mayor Tate at City Hall to announce plans for the new arena. Not long after, office space was rented on the ground floor of the Life of Pennsylvania Building, at 15th and Locust Street. Bud Poile, the 42-year-old general manager of the San Francisco Seals of the Western Hockey League, was hired as the club's first general manager. The first coach was 43-year-old Keith Allen, then the coach/GM of the Western League's Seattle Totems.
Team colors of orange, black and white were chosen, and uniforms and a logo — a winged P with an orange puck in the center — were unveiled, as was the name — the Philadelphia Flyers, a suggestion first made by Phyllis Foreman, Snider's sister.
The foundation was set, but one item still remained — raising the $2 million franchise fee.
Snider thought he'd get half that amount from Wolman, but when Wolman tried to sell the team out from under him, Snider decided to trade his 40 percent stake in the arena for Wolman's 22 percent share of the franchise. Snider also bought out Schiff, becoming majority owner of the club.
The moves left Snider in a difficult spot. "I had never wanted to own more than 22 percent of the team," he recalled in Full Spectrum. "I didn't think I could afford it."
In fact, he couldn't. Snider remortgaged his home and started borrowing money from banks: $25,000 from one, $50,000 from another.
Despite not being part of the ownership group, Snider still thought Wolman would make good on his promise to foot half the expansion fee. But with the June 5, 1967, deadline approaching and Wolman having financial difficulties, Snider knew something was wrong.
"To my recollections," Snider said in Full Spectrum, "It was seven to 10 days before the money was due that Jerry told me he didn't have it."
Snider previously had lined up a $1 million loan from Fidelity Bank. Now he needed to scramble to replace Wolman's money.
The team's television rights for the first three seasons were sold to Kaiser Broadcasting, which owned Channel 48, for $350,000. Snider also took out a $150,000 loan independently.
Still a half-million dollars short, Snider went to Bill Fishman, president and founder of ARA Services (today known as ARAMARK), which already had invested $2 million to provide food services at the planned arena. Snider asked Fishman for a loan, and Fishman was agreeable if a bank would take his personal ARA stock as collateral. Provident Bank said yes, and on deadline day, Fishman wrote a check for $500,000 to the Philadelphia Hockey Club.
Snider took the check, plus the other $1.5 million, to Fidelity Bank to make the wire transfer to Putnam, who had gone to Montreal to deliver the franchise fee to the NHL and for the expansion draft.
And then the lights went out.
"There was a blackout in Philadelphia," Snider said. "Everything went dead. They couldn't wire [the money]. They're waiting in Montreal and nothing's happening. We couldn't communicate by any way, phone or otherwise."
At approximately 10:23 am, a power failure shut down a 15,000-square mile area, ranging from New Jersey south to Maryland and west to Harrisburg.
The NHL needed confirmation of the Flyers' money by 2:00 pm, or all the hard work put in by Snider, Putnam and others would go for naught.
At noon the power came back on in Center City Philadelphia. Fidelity was able to establish a communication link with a bank in New York, which was able to wire the money to Royal Bank of Canada in Montreal. Putnam ran the $2 million check to the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, saving the day — and the Flyers — for Philadelphia.
"How could something like that happen?" Snider asks now with a laugh that only 45-plus years of success can allow. "It happened. That's how we started."
The Expansion Draft
The first step in building the Flyers' inaugural roster was Snider's purchase of the Quebec Aces of the American Hockey League for $350,000.
Then came the NHL's first-ever expansion draft, held June 6, 1967, in Montreal. The six established clubs each were allowed to protect 11 skaters and one goalie. After a team lost a skater or a goalie, it could protect one more of the like. After it lost a second player, it could add one more to its protected list. After that, every remaining player was up for grabs, with the exception of players with fewer than two years of professional experience (NHL or minor leagues).
The Flyers were to pick second among the six new clubs — the California Seals, Los Angeles Kings, Pittsburgh Penguins, St. Louis Blues and Minnesota North Stars were the others — in the two-round goaltender portion of the draft, and fifth in the 18-round skater-selection process.
The Flyers, led by general manager Bud Poile and coach Keith Allen, focused on young players.
"I think we reached a consensus almost from the start that we were going to think young," Poile said in Full Spectrum. "We didn't just want to have a team that could be competitive with the new clubs, but one that in a few years could compete with the old ones."
Allen, Poile and top scout Marcel Pelletier had spent the 1966–67 season scouring minor-league outposts throughout North America.
"We'd go on the road, usually alone, for as many as two weeks at a time," Pelletier recalled in Full Spectrum. "I'd played in St. Paul [in the Central League], so I had a real good idea of the players in that league. Bud and Keith had been in the Western League, so they knew that, too. We also scouted the American League heavily. The National League we did less. We knew what was there."
One of the players Pelletier, a former minor-league goalie, had seen was a Boston Bruins goaltending prospect toiling for the Oklahoma City Blazers of the Central Hockey League. After Los Angeles took veteran goalie Terry Sawchuk with the first pick, the Flyers shocked the draft room by taking 22-year-old Bernard Parent.
In 39 games as a rookie in the 1965–66 season, Parent had posted a 3.69 goals-against average for a Bruins team that finished fifth in the six-team NHL. He fared slightly better in his second campaign, in Oklahoma City, finishing with a 2.70 GAA and four shutouts in 14 games after winning just four of his 18 games with the Bruins.

Recurring Role
Starting with this episode the title is now shown right after the opening credits
Dialogue repeated twice (21:48-21:51).
Jazz is missing his blue tone color from his hood (21:47).
Bumblebee is missing his logo on his hood (16:58).
During the battle, as Autobot Spike is shooting at Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp, all 3 are the same color for a second (14:28).
Optimus Prime is missing his Transformer's symbol on his trailer (3:41).
Megatron: So the human called Spike now possesses an Autobot body, and the state of his mind is questionable. Interesting, perhaps I can turn the situation to my advantage and use this Autobot Spike to destroy the other Autobots!
Starscream: You've made such boasts before Megatron, but the Autobots still exist!
Megatron: (Pushes Starscream aside) Be careful what you say, ambitious one. Or I'll turn Autobot Spike's power against you! (laughs) What supreme irony, turning their friend into their foe!
Brawn: So you Decepticreeps like to fly huh? (kicks Soundwave into a rocket) Well TAKE OFF!
Ironhide: Come on guys! Lets zap em into scrap!
(Ironhide runs into battle but is immediately blasted by Starscream)
Starscream: Too bad you don't move as fast as you talk, Ironhide!
Bumblebee: (Speaking to Spike after he's been transfered back to his human body.) Hmm. I wonder. I wonder what it would be like for a robot mind to be transfered to a human?
Sparkplug: (Speaking to Wheeljack.) You see Wheeljack. You're not the only mad scientist around here.
The spare robot parts that make up Autobot X resemble the parts of the other Autobots:
* The forehead crest and right chest of Prowl.
* The left door of Bluestreak.
* The left shoulder of Sunstreak.
* The right shoulder/fender and shoulder-mounted missile launcher of Hound.
* The left chest and arm cannon of Trailbreaker.
* The left wrist and parts of the right leg of Optimus Prime.
* The photon rifle (mounted on the right arm), crotch, and back of the left leg of Jazz.
This episode begins with new opening credits. The Autobot and Decepticon insignias race in space around the planets Saturn and Cybertron. The Transformers Logo, which is caught in Grimlock's bite, turns into Thrust as the the Dinobots are shown shooting at Blitzwing who in turn shoots at Omega Supreme. Scrapper is picking up some debris. Omega Supreme shoots at Astrotrain who takes off from locomotive mode to shuttle mode over the Insecticons. This in turn grids out to Optimus Prime leading Red Alert, Tracks and Grapple into battle against Megatron with Ramjet, Scrapper and Scavenger. Leaving Optimus Prime and Megatron fighting in the end.
This is the first episode in which Spike and Sparkplug's last name (Witwicky) is spoken.
This is the last time Reflector speaks.

My husband and I traveled to Xi'an as part of a vacation package we booked that included hotel. We got rather spoiled in Beijing and were pleasantly surprised with the second leg of our journey in Xi'an at the Titan Times. It is centrally located, near the city wall (on the outside of the old city) close to the metro. It only took about 15 minutes to drive to other parts of the city, so it was very well located, with restaurants nearby, as well as one onsite. There is free wifi in the lobby and on the floor two bar. The rooms are huge, well laid out suites that were comfortable and spacious. They are well decorated and well kept, ours was always clean and housekeeping did an excellent job during our three night stay. Our room on the 16th floor had two bathrooms, which was great, a mini fridge and two flat screen TV's one in the living room and one in the bedroom (they were a little tricky to get working at first). The view from our room was great of the city. The breakfast that was included in our package was ok, nothing to write home about, but they did have a fairly good selection of options, however a lot of the food was very greasy for my taste. The bathrooms in the lobby were nice and well kept. The staff was ok, a little short at times (possibly the language barrier is attributable to this) but overall helpful. Despite all the good, and there was a lot of good, three complaints about the hotel I had, #1- the beds: one of the hardest beds I have ever slept in, so the rest factor was not great. Although this is a cultural difference and China typically has harder beds that us cushy US folks are used to, but still, big minus for me. #2-The elevators were very slow. In the scheme of everything this was minor. #3- the room temp: it was always super hot in our room, and the climate control didn't really work so it made it a little uncomfortable. They did have working windows so we could open the windows, but then the smog and smoke from outside would waft in, so that sort of stunk (literally and figuratively). All in all we were impressed by the hotel and would recommend staying here. Hopefully they will find a way to accomodate to people who do not like the hard beds, then they would be almost perfect.

Cancer Health Center
Stomach (Gastric) Cancer Prevention (PDQ®): Prevention - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Description of the Evidence
Understanding the pathogenesis of gastric cancer has advanced over the years. A lengthy precancerous process has been identified in which the gastric mucosa is slowly transformed from normal to chronic gastritis, to multifocal atrophy, to intestinal metaplasia of various degrees, to dysplasia, and then to invasive carcinoma.[9] The process is apparently driven by forces acting on the gastric epithelium for many years, such as excessive dietary salt and most prominently, infection with H. pylori.
Interventions for Reduction of Stomach (Gastric) Cancer Risk
A systematic review and meta-analysis showed a 60% increase in gastric cancer in male smokers and a 20% increase in gastric cancer in female smokers compared with nonsmokers.[10] A systematic review of studies addressing the relationship between cigarette smoking and gastric cancer to estimate the magnitude of the association for different levels of exposure to cancer provides solid evidence to classify smoking as the most important behavioral risk factor for gastric cancer.[10,11,12] Compared with persistent smokers, the risk of stomach cancer decreases among former smokers with time since cessation. The pattern that emerges from these observations makes it reasonable to infer that cigarette smoking prevention or cessation would result in a decreased risk of gastric cancer.
H. pyloriinfection eradication
H. pylori infection is an accepted cause of gastric adenocarcinoma.[13,14] Questions remain concerning the natural history of H. pylori infection; the mechanism of transmission and the rates of reinfection or recrudescence for different populations are unknown.[15,16] A small randomized trial of antibiotic eradication in 140 H. pylori-infected people suggests the possibility of transmission among close family members.[17] In 70 participants, only the participant received eradication therapy; in the other 70 participants, all H. pylori-infected family members living with the primary participant also received the eradication therapy. Nine months after the therapy, the positivity rates in the index participants in each group were 38.6% and 7.1%, respectively (odds ratio = 8.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.91-22.84), suggesting the possibility of transmission from untreated, infected family members.

It holds true that utilizing bank card is part of raising your credit history rating. Nonetheless, that does not imply that you need to keep personal debt building up on your cards. That is much from being required.
No longer do you need to fret about finding a lending institution you could trust. We have streamlined the application procedure and taken the guessing from short-term financial preparation. Many consumers count on these breakthroughs to take treatment of little, unforeseen expenses as an alternative to exorbitant overdraft costs and late payment fees. Unlike secured or installation alternatives usually provided by banks or other monetary organizations, you will never ever have to receive a credit rating check or usage personal items as collateral. You will not have to worry regarding lasting commitments or payment strategies.
Have you ever before questioned why credit report card companies are so crazy about offering brand-new line of credit rating to new or alreadying existing customers? Clearly, they are interested not in your advantage however their own business. Their prime motive in drawing you to reach unsettled balances is to obtain as too much passion as feasible on the built up credit amount. It doesn't need too much effort to comprehend that also a little amount of money when left unpaid could get to frightening levels.

Report Writing - Distractions
Report Writing consists of many areas that are important and combine to ensure a successful prosecution. This includes writing a factually accurate report and understanding that time management includes the need to distance yourself from distractions during the course of a day while trying to complete a report. In this segment, William Fogarty suggests an author of a report understand that distractions occur all the time and there is a need to ensure a buffer of time to allow for a complete and accurate report be completed.

An event-driven method to simulate Filippov systems with accurate computing of sliding motions
Event-driven programming
In computer programming, event-driven programming or event-based programming is a programming paradigm in which the flow of the program is determined by events¿e.g. , sensor outputs or user actions (mouse clicks, key presses) or messages from other programs or threads.

Iterative method
In computational mathematics, an iterative method is a mathematical procedure that generates a sequence of improving approximate solutions for a class of problems. A specific implementation of an iterative method, including the termination criteria, is an algorithm of the iterative method. An iterative method is called convergent if the corresponding sequence converges for given initial approximations.
more from Wikipedia
MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is a numerical computing environment and fourth-generation programming language. Developed by MathWorks, MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages, including C, C++, Java, and Fortran.

Ordinary differential equation
In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation (abbreviated ODE) is an equation containing a function of one independent variable and its derivatives. There are many general forms an ODE can take, and these are classified in practice (see below). The derivatives are ordinary because partial derivatives only apply to functions of many independent variables.
more from Wikipedia
Execution (computing)
Execution in computer and software engineering is the process by which a computer or a virtual machine carries out the instructions of a computer program. The instructions in the program trigger sequences of simple actions on the executing machine. Those actions produce effects according to the semantics of the instructions in the program. Programs for a computer may execute in a batch process without human interaction, or a user may type commands in an interactive session of an interpreter.
more from Wikipedia
Vector field
In vector calculus, a vector field is an assignment of a vector to each point in a subset of Euclidean space. A vector field in the plane for instance can be visualized as an arrow, with a given magnitude and direction, attached to each point in the plane. Vector fields are often used to model, for example, the speed and direction of a moving fluid throughout space, or the strength and direction of some force, such as the magnetic or gravitational force, as it changes from point to point.
more from Wikipedia
In mathematics, a piecewise-defined function (also called a piecewise function) is a function whose definition changes depending on the value of the independent variable. Mathematically, a real-valued function f of a real variable x is a relationship whose definition is given differently on disjoint subsets of its domain (known as subdomains).

The Difference With MetaTrader 4 Binary Options Accounts 0 commentsMar 19, 2014 12:26 PM
Have you ever Googled or searched binary options or binary option brokers? A multitude of binary option brokers appear with many things that they promise. The real question is do they deliver on these promises? One can get easily distracted trying to weed through all of the bonus offers and other incentives to try and get you to open an account.
Instead of looking for bonuses and incentives one should be really checking on how the binary option broker operates.You need to ask yourself does the broker operate out of the regulated jurisdiction?
One will notice as you come across these binary option brokers is that their platforms look very similar to one another. Many of these brokers are really white labels of set web platforms. First of all they will have a very inviting trading window usually it will be the EURUSD with an up or down arrow. If you dare try to place an order you will receive a message that you can open an account and deposit your money now. The question you should ask yourself is why do I need to deposit real funds for a demo account? The answer is that you should not have to deposit real funds for a demo account you should be able to try a demo account as you do in Forex demo account.
Some of these brokers have been known to manipulate pricing. Clients may experience delays in the expiry times just enough to benefit the broker. Usually these binary option brokers are only providing you with a tick chart as far as charting capabilities. This is hardly enough information to base a trading decision.
Those who have traded for Forex are quite familiar with MetaTrader 4. MetaTrader 4 is usually offered as a free demo account through most brokers. MetTrader 4 also offers a full and complete charting package. It would only seem logical that having all of the functionality with meta-trader for and the ability to trade binary options would be the best combination. The other benefit of trading binary options on MetaTrader 4 is that you can also trade Forex, CFD's, and spot gold.

AFL-CIO supports health care reform
By GINA PRESSON
Article published on
Monday, Sept. 7, 2009
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - As the Florida congressional delegation returns to Washington this week to re-open debate on health care reform, the Florida AFL-CIO is keeping the pressure on to pass health care reform legislation.
Union spokesperson Rich Templin said the need is clear, citing a recent study that reported two out of five Floridians were uninsured in 2007-2008 - nearly 5.8 million people.
He added that even folks with insurance have seen out-of-pocket expenses go up 500 percent in five years, while insurance company profits have gone up 1,000 percent.
"The American people are being bilked by the health insurance industry. It is causing businesses to suffer; it is causing people to suffer. Every piece of our struggling economy is somehow touched by this health care fiasco," Templin said.
He said the AFL-CIO won't back down until working Americans have a choice of coverage similar to Medicare.
Critics say a public option will increase costs and drive insurance carriers out of business. But in an AFL-CIO poll, more than half the people surveyed said they could not find health insurance at a price they could afford, Templin said.
"The Labor movement will not support health care reform that does not include a public option; that does not require big employers to start paying their fair share; that does not reduce costs overall; and that taxes hard-working people's benefits."
He said soaring health care costs are causing a record number of bankruptcies and foreclosures in Florida, and layoffs in businesses of all sizes.
"Until we solve the health care crisis, until we reduce costs, until we cover all Americans and find a way for everyone to have access to the health care services they need, our economy is not going to improve," Templin said.
The union has held rallies across the state in recent weeks, and Templin said most Floridians are passionate about ensuring that all Americans have access to health care.

Raise your hand if you love summer desserts, but you don't love all the work that comes with them (I'm talking to you, berry pies!). Is your hand raised? Because if it is, and I'm guessing it is, then you'll love the dessert I, Alyssa, have whipped up for you today: a frosted animal cracker cake!
Icebox cakes have been a longtime favorite of many for a few reasons. They're no-bake (a life saver in the summer heat),

Comfortable and Easy to wear
It is just as pictured, very comfortable and easy to wear. I love because it does not snag on my hair.

Bottom Line: I would recommend this to a friend!

good for the price
When I saw how cheap the chain was, I thought it would be flimsy. But I ordered it anyway since the price was so low. I was amazed when I received the item. It's a sturdy, good length, nicely polished gold. It's an excellent buy!!!

I looked long and hard for a thin gauge gold necklace that I could slip over my head. I was thrilled when I found it on Ross-Simons website. Still, I was concerned about the tensile strength because of its fine gauge. No problems! It is very strong and looks great with my Miraculous Medal. In an age where many businesses are selling cheaply made products that quickly break, I'm happy to say that Ross-Simons is definitely NOT one of them.

Great merchandise!
I recently bought this 16 inch long gold chain. I was looking for this chain length for some time and couldn't find it for the right price. The most common chains that I saw were 18 and 20 inch long. The price is great too. It is a little skinny but strong! Exactly what I need.
Goldfinger, Boston
Bottom Line: I would recommend this to a friend!

very nice and delicate
Exactly what I wanted, delicate and gold. A good chain to change pendants with. Not too long and not too short

Very Fragile
Good buy but beware of knots in the chain. Looks to be very fragile. Whatever you put on it should probably be very light. Nice sparkle to it
Ohio's Deb, SW Ohio
Bottom Line: I would recommend this to a friend!

This product was not up to the quality I expected from Ross-Simon. It is difficult to understand the size without a comparison.

65 Stocks And Funds Increased Dividends Last Week 0 comments
Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Growth and earnings matter and the dividend season starts to run.
Last week was an additional great week with dividend hikes. In total, 65 stocks and funds raised dividends of which 35 have a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 40.90 percent. I made a small list of all companies and funds which have announced a dividend increase within the recent week.
Below the results are six High-Yields. 35 companies have a current buy or better rating.
Here are my favorite dividend growth stocks:

The West is pushing Israel back to peace talks after the Gaza war. But J.J. Goldberg reports that Israel has made a 'dramatic' reversal — and won't consider agreeing to a Palestinian state.34
Judaism finds its richest expression in debate. So why does Hillel block diverse student opinions about pursuing peace between Israel and the Palestinians?21
Benjamin Netanyahu suggests 'American values' back settlements in East Jerusalem. That assumes the divided city belongs just to Israel — which the world denies, J.J. Goldberg writes.59
Eric Fingerhut insists that Hillel International is already an open forum — but it won't change its policies.4
Gil Steinlauf says he has struggled with his sexual identity for 20 years. Avi Shafran says a respected rabbi should keep fighting to live a life consistent with the Torah.56

Why I Don't [strike]Like[/strike] [edit: Get] Wikis
I've been called a curmudgeon before [edit: because you are] and there are some technologies [edit: like television] that I don't really see as astonishingly useful evolutionary steps in the world of information and technology, but even with that disclaimer, I have to say that I'm completely unimpressed with wikis and really don't understand why so many other people love them so [edit: maybe because they're just smarter than you are, jerk!].
Intellectually, the idea of collaborative editing and maintenance of text documents is quite appealing, but the pragmatic reality of having essentially zero editorial control over content is problematic at best and dangerous at worst. Would you trust a medical encyclopedia built around wiki technology?
[strike]But let's start by defining a wiki, shall we?[/strike] [edit: These sort of rhetorical questions are just trite author tricks and should be axed.]
A wiki, which gets its name from the Hawaiian phrase "wiki wiki", or "quick, quick", is a simple software application that allows content to be separated from its presentation to make it trivially easy to have visitors modify and change any content that they see [edit: on a wiki-based Web site]. [strike]More sophisticated[/strike] [add: Just about all] wiki packages have a sophisticated, if arcane [edit: it's not arcane, you're just stupid] [edit: come on, when =a= and ==a== produce different formatting, it's pretty arcane] [edit: screw you, l0s3r] markup language.
If this article were hosted on a wiki [edit: too bad it's not. Then we could fix all the inane commentary herein], you could decide that you don't like my definition of the word "wiki", or even the article title, click on an edit button and change things to your heart's content. There's a change-tracking mechanism built into all wiki systems (and it should be no surprise that's a critical element [edit: if only to get rid of stupid edits]), but you can imagine that when pages can be edited and modified five, ten or even 20 or more times daily, it can [strike]lead to a painful editorial management task[/strike] [add: be almost impossible to retain any sort of quality control over the content]. [edit: The point of a wiki is that there isn't any editorial control, though. This entire premise is false.]
Now, let's say that I wanted to write about the infamous Skull & Bones Society and its intersection with the Illuminati, Opus Dei and the Bush family [edit: and your mama, too]. You can easily imagine that my take on this vast conspiracy might well be dramatically different from your take, and sure enough, there are certain types of content that [strike]really[/strike] suffer the worst in wikis, as the on-again, off-again article on JFK's assassination on Wikipedia demonstrates. It seems that a [strike]crackpot[/strike] [add: guy who didn't buy the government coverup] decided that there was a conspiracy involved in Kennedy's assassination and added that to the page. But others felt otherwise and purged the Wikipedia entry of his content. And he added it back. And they deleted it. To the point where it's now impossible to know whether the page reflects the commonly held facts of the situation or some crank theory. [edit: Truth is subjective.]
Even with smaller groups, I've tried having a wiki for a team of about a dozen people, and the necessity of using the arcane wiki coding schemes and confusion of tracking edits rapidly diminished anyone's enthusiasm for the new technology and the project quickly ran out of steam. [edit: You were probably all just too st00pd to use a wiki!] Document tracking in Microsoft Word is far, far easier, and it's not that hard to e-mail files around, even in this day and age [edit: and horses and buggies? Is that your speed too?].
I suppose wikis have their place and certainly there are fans who find them a useful Web-based document "evolution" petri dish, if you will. [edit: Sheesh, can we PLEASE purge this guy of his cliches? This is a terrible article!] [edit: Yeah, and what have you written and published lately, chump?] [edit: Where is that relevant, l0s3r?] [edit: Can't you just GO AWAY and leave this page alone?] [edit: I will when it's accurate] [edit: According to who, you?] [edit: Hey, I can edit this more than you can. Wanna test me?]
Overall, though, the only time I have seen wikis work is when not everyone who wanders onto the site can edit the content, but if there's editorial control, it seems to be counter to the basic premise of wikis, that they're a tool for leveraging the collaborative editorial efforts of the public.
That's why I believe that as technologies go, wikis are going to end up in the good idea, bad implementation, or, perhaps, good concept, bad fit with reality graveyard. [edit: That's okay, you'll be there too, Taylor, and this article shows exactly why.]
Dave Taylor has been involved with UNIX and Internet technologies since 1980 and has picked some winners in the technology sweepstakes (even in 1980 it was clear that e-mail was the killer app for networks), but backed some clunkers too. You can pick up the debate on his business blog The Intuitive Life, at www.intuitive.com/blog.
Dave Taylor has been hacking shell scripts for over thirty years. Really. He's the author of the popular "Wicked Cool Shell Scripts" and can be found on Twitter as @DaveTaylor and more generally at www.DaveTaylorOnline.com.
Wiki Article
This is an interesting article, obviously written for people who don't know about wikis and the edits are overly harsh.
What goes on at LJ? This
What goes on at LJ? This article about how Wiki's being 'at best a good idea gone bad' should never have made it into the magazine.
We find out that Taylor thinks emailing Word Documents around is *far far* easier than Wikis. Hmmm I call BS.
Wiki's aren't perfect but they are useful. Curiously, right after this article is another called "Using Wikis and Blogs to ease Administration."
Very strange to see these articles back to back.
ms word must die
Anarchy always sound fun until you try it. Then you learn the hard way that structure and discipline are good things, and help you have actual accomplishments, instead of getting lost and wandering in circles.
We do use wiki to document our tools , libraries, projects
Wonderful tool!
Taylor's article has noplace in here!

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Purpose: To examine the healthcare policy and the nursing profession in China and to share insights learned from that country, which can be used to inform health-policy decision makers in the US.
Organizing Construct: Despite their significant cultural, political, and historical differences, many healthcare issues are the same for China and the US. Both countries face rising healthcare costs and widening disparities between wealthy and poor individuals, and between urban and rural sectors.
Conclusions: Some of the ideas that can be gleaned from China's healthcare system include rewarding physicians for prescribing preventive services; using trained laypeople as gatekeepers to the healthcare system in rural areas; communicating to the public and to health-policy decision makers the importance of nurses so that staffing, work conditions, and professional status can be improved; and including nurses in health-policy decisions.
Clinical Relevance: Lessons learned from China's healthcare policy and healthcare system have implications for public health policy change that could lead to improved patient outcomes in the US. The current changing global health environment calls for healthcare providers to learn from and work with our international neighbors to improve health outcomes for all patients.
