Computed Tomography Angiogram (CT Angiogram)
What Affects the Test
You may not be able to have a CT angiogram if:
- You are pregnant. A CT angiogram isn't usually done when a woman is pregnant, because there is a chance that the baby might be harmed by the radiation.
- You have had an X-ray test that used barium contrast material (such as a barium enema) in the past 4 days. Barium shows up on a CT angiogram and makes it hard to see the picture clearly. A CT angiogram should be done before any tests that use barium.
- You are allergic to the dye (contrast material) that is used during the test.
- You have kidney problems. The dye used during the test can cause kidney damage in people whose kidneys don't work well.
- You take metformin (such as Glucophage) to control your diabetes. The dye used during the test may cause problems if you take this medicine.
- You are obese. A person who is very overweight may not fit into a standard CT machine, or the X-ray table may not be able to support his or her weight.
- You can't lie still during the test.
- You have metal objects in your body, such as surgical clips or metal in joint replacements. These objects may prevent a clear view of the areas being examined.
What To Think About
Benefits and limitations
A CT angiogram is a less invasive test than a standard angiogram. A standard angiogram involves threading a thin tube called a catheter through an artery in your arm or leg up to the area being studied. But with a CT angiogram, no tubes are put in your body. To learn more, see the topic Angiogram.
If your doctor sees that one or more of your blood vessels are narrowed or blocked, you may need a standard angiogram anyway to double-check the abnormal results from the CT angiogram. This is more likely to happen if your doctor is considering surgery to treat the narrowing or blockage.
If your doctor finds a major blockage in one of your blood vessels during a CT angiogram, you won't be able to get an immediate angioplasty to clear the blockage. You will need a separate procedure. But if you have a standard angiogram and the doctor finds a major blockage, he or she can perform an angioplasty during the angiogram.

This study examines the effect of state and federal welfare policy changes on the use of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) among older Hispanic immigrants in the US. The results contribute to the ongoing debate about whether the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996 had a "chilling effect" on welfare use. Using data from the 1990 and 2000 US Censuses of Population, we use multi-level binomial logistic regression to evaluate whether state levels of welfare generosity contribute to the probability of SSI use among eligible older Hispanics. Our results show that the decline in SSI receipt between 1990 and 2000 is greater among older Hispanic non-citizens from Mexico, Central and South America as compared to their naturalized and US-born Hispanic counterparts. We also demonstrate that state differences in welfare generosity did not moderate the effect of federal policies during this time period as was expected.

VIRAL VIDEO: Guy Ignores Gates...and is Nearly Killed by Train
Posted April 24th, 2014 @ 5:05am by Chilli Amar
(screenshot: YouTube)
Watch as the dumbest guy in the Czech Republic becomes the luckiest guy in the Czech Republic in just a split second...
Okay...there are so many things wrong with that video...I don't even know where to begin! First of all...why in the world would you IGNORE gates and flashing lights at a train track? Was he in THAT much of a hurry? The train wasn't even a LONG one. He could have waited a few seconds.
Also...did you notice his SHOE fly off from the impact?? Watch the video again...and you'll see it in the bottom left corner of the screen. And...perhaps the biggest question...why didn't any of the cars stop to help him? They just watched a man almost die...and kept driving. What is wrong with people?!?!?

Headlight Assemblies at 1A Auto
What are headlights and where are they located?
Headlights — or headlamps, as they are commonly referred to — are a type of auto part that seem to be pretty straight-forward when you initially think about them. They simply attach to the front of your car or truck and light up the darkness so that you can see and drive safely at night. Easy enough, right?
Well, yes and no. When electric auto headlights first arrived on the automotive scene, they took the place of kerosene burning lanterns, which were not only fire hazards but were also not very bright and often blew out. Needless to say, electric headlights received a warm welcoming. With the magic of electricity and two little wires, they turned on, stayed lit on windy days, and gave drivers much better nighttime vision.
By 1940, "Sealed Beam" headlamps with glass lenses became a requirement on all vehicles in the United States. This was great, largely because the four different styles were amazingly cheap and plentiful. On the downside, automotive headlights became a car designer's worst nightmare because of their one-size-fits-all shape. Luckily, that rule only lasted 43 YEARS! Yikes!
When 1983 arrived, it was a beautiful time to be a car headlight. The sealed beam headlight was no longer required, and plastic lenses were now allowed. This is the moment in time when the auto headlamp started to become complicated. First, composite halogen headlights arrived, which finally had replaceable halogen bulbs. This made headlight repair incredibly easy. Composite headlights were also designed to improve the look of the car. This often called for an integration of corner lamps and parking lights with the front headlights.
The 1990s brought the next significant change with fancy new "High Intensity Discharge" (HID) and xenon headlight technology. An HID headlight bulb is filled with xenon gas, which—with the help of an HID headlight ballast—increases the bulb's brightness and life span. Unfortunately, they come at a higher price point than the boring old sealed beam and composite halogen headlights.
That brings us to projector headlights. Projector headlights may use halogen or xenon bulbs, and they direct the light perfectly out the front of the car with the help of a small, movable metal shield. This shield is controlled by an electric motor and automatically moves when the high beam switch is activated. As you can imagine, moving parts inside a headlight assembly can lead to more problems, even when in the most delicate of accidents.
When it comes down to it, headlights brighten your nighttime drive. But there are now a cornucopia of shapes, sizes, and styles depending on the vehicle they are being attached to. The aftermarket headlight industry has done an amazing job of offering perfect-fitting, high quality, non-OEM headlights at prices that any car owner can afford.
How do I know if my headlights need to be replaced?
There are many reasons why you should replace a set of older lights that don't seem to be overtly damaged. They might have:
- Yellowing or Faded Lenses - Over time, plastic lenses tend to glaze over and lose their clarity. This
significantly cuts down the amount of light that can shine through them. You just don't realize how
much light you are missing until the new set of headlamps are in place.
- Moisture - Sometimes water can build inside old headlights, corner lamps, and signal lights, and this
moisture can be extremely difficult to remove. Moisture can shorten the life span of bulbs and make your
lights look like fish bowls.
- Sealed Beams - When a sealed beam headlamp bulb is burnt out the entire headlight
assembly needs to be replaced. Luckily, they are inexpensive and easy to replace with simple hand tools.
- Old Age – With age, many factory composite headlight lenses become loose and eventually fall off.
The lenses can't be replaced by themselves. The entire headlamp assembly must be replaced to
correct this problem.
- Worn Out Looks - Old headlights make your nice clean car look old and worn out. If you want your car
to keep its value and look its best, you just have to have clean headlights.
Can I replace the headlights myself?
Most likely, yes. The majority of cars and trucks have headlights that can be replaced by any do-it-yourselfer. It usually requires a ratchet set and possibly a screwdriver. Sometimes the bolts are hidden, so a repair manual is always helpful. Once replaced, it is always a good idea to align the headlights to factory specification. Many owners' manuals have recommendations on how to properly do this. It typically involves aiming the car towards a wall to measure the height and distance between the light beams.
Headlights are one of the most important components of your vehicle; they allow you to see the road in front of you clearly during the night and in any bad weather that may arise. If they have been damaged or are not working properly, not only is your own safety at risk, but the safety of others is as well. Therefore, damaged headlights should be replaced as soon as possible.

English 3.0
Joe Gilbert has created English 3.0, a twenty-minute documentary on the state of the English language, featuring the likes of Tom Chatfield, David Crystal, Robert McCrum, Fiona McPherson and Simon Horobin.
English 3.0 from Joe Gilbert on Vimeo.
It's quite good. One comment mentioned by several of those interviewed that I have my doubts about concerns the "revolution" in language due to the internet. The claim is that the language is changing faster than ever. I'm not so sure that is true. Rather, we may simply be noticing the change more. People are coining (and abandoning) new words at the same rate they always have. But now with the internet, we see them, where before the new coinage was confined to a small coterie of the coiner's friends and acquaintances. The impact on lexicography is the danger that these words will be ephemeral and the dictionary will become filled with obsolescent coinages that had a brief flash of existence—words that never would have risen to the attention of lexicographer fifty years ago because they died too quickly.

Women in The Guardian
Maddie York, an editor at The Guardian, has penned an article for that paper's "Mind Your Language Blog" in which she objects to the use of woman as an adjective, as in woman doctor or woman writer. The subheading for the blog post—which York may not have written, as headlines are often not written by the reporter—reads:
'Woman' is not an acceptable adjective, any more than 'lady' once was. Let's eradicate this misuse and give language a nudge in the right direction.
But this general proscription is just wrong. There is nothing, and never has been anything, wrong with using woman as an adjective.Read the rest of the article...
Footnotes in the Digital Age
Last week Tim Parks posted in the New York Review of Books Blog on the need, or rather lack thereof, for formal reference citations in scholarly literature. Parks contends that with the advent of the internet and databases like Project Gutenberg, there is no longer a need for footnotes that give the source of information. Everything is simply a few key or mouse clicks away, and it's easier for all concerned just to Google something rather than follow a footnoted reference.
Parks couldn't be more wrong, and his argument betrays the biases in his work. His scholarly work is focused on contemporary literature and on translation. While it may, in many cases, be easier for him to Google something than look for a footnote, that is not necessarily the case in other fields.Read the rest of the article...

I am currently searching for a reference management software to be used collaboratively in our research group. Unfortunately, the bigger proprietary software systems (like EndNote and Citavi) don't support synchronisation between different clients. We'd like to use a system which is network based (as in Client-Server or easy synchronisation) and integrates well with MS Word/OpenOffice.org.
So, what kind of software do you use to do your reference management?

Skip to comments.Lay Off the Layoffs. Our overreliance on downsizing is killing workers, the economy and profits.
Posted on 02/06/2010 10:36:25 AM PST by SeekAndFind
On Sept. 12, 2001, there were no commercial flights in the United States. It was uncertain when airlines would be permitted to start flying againor how many customers would be on them. Airlines faced not only the tragedy of 9/11 but the fact that economy was entering a recession. So almost immediately, all the U.S. airlines, save one, did what so many U.S. corporations are particularly skilled at doing: they began announcing tens of thousands of layoffs. Today the one airline that didn't cut staff, Southwest, still has never had an involuntary layoff in its almost 40-year history. It's now the largest domestic U.S. airline and has a market capitalization bigger than all its domestic competitors combined. As its former head of human resources once told me: "If people are your most important assets, why would you get rid of them?"
It's an attitude that's all too rare in executive suites these days. As the U.S. economy emerges from recession, Americans continue to suffer through the worst labor market in a generation. The unemployment rate dipped in January, from 10 percent to 9.7 percent, but the economy continued to lose jobs. There are currently 14.8 million unemployed, and when you count "discouraged workers" (who've given up on job seeking) and part-time workers who'd prefer a full-time gig, that's another 9.4 million Americans who are "underemployed." While the pink slips are slowing as the economy rebounds, the lack of jobs remains the most visibleand politically troublesomereminder that despite what the economic indicators may tell us, for much of the population, the Great Recession hasn't really gone away.
Companies have always cut back on workers during economic downturns, but over the last two decades layoffs have become an increasingly common part of corporate lifein good times as well as bad.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsweek.com ...
* There is a growing body of academic research suggesting that firms incur big costs when they cut workers. Some of these costs are obvious, such as the direct costs of severance and outplacement, and some are intuitive, such as the toll on morale and productivity as anxiety ("Will I be next?") infects remaining workers.
* A recent study of 20 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development economies over a 20-year period by two Dutch economists found that labor-productivity growth was higher in economies having more highly regulated industrial-relations systemsmeaning they had more formal prohibitions against the letting go of workers.
* University of Colorado professor Wayne Cascio lists the direct and indirect costs of layoffs: severance pay; paying out accrued vacation and sick pay; outplacement costs; higher unemployment-insurance taxes; the cost of rehiring employees when business improves; low morale and risk-averse survivors; potential lawsuits, sabotage, or even workplace violence from aggrieved employees or former employees; loss of institutional memory and knowledge; diminished trust in management; and reduced productivity.
* Companies that announce layoffs do not enjoy higher stock prices than peerseither immediately or over time. A study of 141 layoff announcements between 1979 and 1997 found negative stock returns to companies announcing layoffs, with larger and permanent layoffs leading to greater negative effects. An examination of 1,445 downsizing announcements between 1990 and 1998 also reported that downsizing had a negative effect on stock-market returns, and the negative effects were larger the greater the extent of the downsizing.
* A study of productivity changes between 1977 and 1987 in more than 140,000 U.S. companies using Census of Manufacturers data found that companies that enjoyed the greatest increases in productivity were just as likely to have added workers as they were to have downsized. The study concluded that the growth in productivity during the 1980s could not be attributed to firms becoming "lean and mean." Wharton professor Peter Cappelli found that labor costs per employee decreased under downsizing, but sales per employee fell, too.
* Even after statistically controlling for prior profitability, a study of 122 companies found that downsizing reduced subsequent profitability and that the negative consequences of downsizing were particularly evident in R&D-intensive industries and in companies that experienced growth in sales. Cascio's study of firms in the S&P 500 found that companies that downsized remained less profitable than those that did not.
* Layoffs don't even reliably cut costs. That's because when a layoff is announced, several things happen. First, people head for the doorand it is often the best people (who haven't been laid off) who are the most capable of finding alternative work. Second, companies often lose people they didn't want to lose.
* The AMA survey found that 88 percent of the companies that had downsized said that morale had declined. That carries costs, now and in the future. When the current recession ends, the first thing lots of employees are going to do is to look for another job. In the face of management actions that signal that companies don't value employees, virtually every human-resource consulting firm reports high levels of employee disengagement and distrust of management.
* Widespread downsizing can have a big impact on the economy. The people who lose jobs also lose incomes, so they spend less. Even workers who don't lose their jobs but are simply fearful of layoffs are likely to cut back on spending too. With less aggregate demand in the economy, sales fall. With smaller sales, companies lay off more people, and the cycle continues.
* Layoffs literally kill people. In the United States, when you lose your job, you lose your health insurance, unless you can afford to temporarily maintain it under the pricey COBRA provisions. Studies consistently show a connection between not having health insurance and individual mortality rates. Other data demonstrate that even fairly brief interruptions in health-care coverage lead people to skip diagnostic screening tests such as mammograms and colonoscopies.
He forgot the fact that a lot of outsourced work turns out to be garbage and cost/time overruns are not unheard of.
Are you saying that people should have a "right" to a job and that companies should keep them on the payroll no matter how much it affects the firm negatively?
NewsWeek pimps for the Kenyan and now their stooges are blaming businesses for laying people off? Evil scum have NO clue. Businesses job number one besides providing the customer with some value is survival. Business people with an IQ of 10 who are not govt contractors opr trail lawyers know Obama is HORRIBLE for business and the economy. Until he is gone it is cut, retrench, cut, retrench, try to survive.
They should pass a law that everyone has a job for life, and bread is always $1 a loaf and milk is always $1.50 a gallon. I'm sure everything else in the national economy would fall into place nicely after that.
What solutions did this liberal Stanford professor offer in this article when a company's sales are down 10%-50%?
Did he offer any solutions or only whine about corporate fatcats and evil corporations?
It's the economic equivalent of Steroids. Short-term it may pay off, and while people know the long-term effects are disastrous, they feel they have no choice but to do it, in order to stay competitive.
Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer
Professor of Organizational Behavior
Graduate School of Business, Stanford University
Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer applies the principles of organizational behavior to business, teaching companies to turn knowledge into action and bring out the best in people as a means to maximize results.
Before joining the faculty of Stanford Pfeffer was a professor at the University of Illinois and the University of California, Berkeley.
You wrote: They should pass a law that everyone has a job for life, and bread is always $1 a loaf and milk is always $1.50 a gallon. Im sure everything else in the national economy would fall into place nicely after that.
As I'm sure you know, the only thing that follows that philosophy is that there is no bread or milk.
Let me guess, all this is coming from people who have never run a company... When a normal, not "too big to fail", company can't pay its expenses/payroll the party is over for all its employees. Those Dutch "economists" follow the same playbook as the global warming "scientist". They see what they want to see to support their larger agenda.
No, he's saying that there are other management methods than layoffs that appear to have superior results. Better to become "lean and mean" BEFORE layoffs might be needed, and not have layoffs. Well-managed companies don't need layoffs.
You left off the sarcasm tag ...
I do believe that was the point...
Well, in this case, new companies with more intelligent personnel policies will appear and start competing. If the companies that laid off too many people are that dumb, they will be forced out of business.
There is a article today in Barron's about the smaller brokerage houses who are hiring all the people let go by the big banks and trying to compete with the likes of Goldman and Morgan Stanley.
Our company has also outsourced to Mexico and laid off workers this year. The result I feel will be devastating.
When our work returns we will have to train new workers, when training new workers you have quality issues, have an extra load on the experienced workers, and I am sure we will also lose some of our greatest assets to other companies who are not putting those demands on their employees.
I like to assume that freepers have IQs above room temperature.
The article was written by a typical academic liberal Stanford professor who has never worked in the private sector and never had to manage a P&L.
The author is a typical liberal scolding by an ivory tower academic Obama-loving stooge with no real-world experience.
Someone who has never run a business is going to tell those of us who have (and put our money where our mouth is) how to do it...
Jeffrey Pfeffer: "the idea that individual pay for performance will enhance organizational operations rests on a set of assumptions. Once those assumptions are spelled out and confronted with the evidence, it is clear that many — maybe all — do not hold in most organizations"
Jeffrey Pfeffer Testifies to Congress About Evidence-Based Practices
United States House of Representatives
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
Subcommittee on Federal Workforce, Postal Service, and the
District of Columbia
Hearing on the Status of Federal Personnel Reform
Washington, D.C.
March 8, 2007
My name is Jeffrey Pfeffer, Ph.D. I am a professor of organizational behavior and human resource management in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University, and have served on the faculties of the University of Illinois and the University of California, Berkeley, as well as being a visiting professor at Harvard Business School, Singapore Management University, London Business School, and IESE in Spain. I have written 12 books and more than 100 articles and book chapters, and write a monthly management column for Business 2.0.
I am pleased to be able to offer my thoughts and evidence as the Federal Government thinks about how to manage its substantial civilian workforce to ensure even higher levels of performance and service. There is no doubt that people and how they are managed matter tremendously for organizational success — as literally scores of studies show.1 However, much of the conventional wisdom about and current practices in managing people are inconsistent with both theory and evidence about how to attain the best from a workforce.2
There is, as reviewed by Wayne Cascio, no evidence that corporate downsizings increase productivity or stock price, reduce costs, stimulate innovation, or make organizations more successful. Nonetheless, such activities persist, providing yet another example of a widespread management practice that is apparently growing in prominence in spite of, not because of, the evidence for its effectiveness.
The layoffs? Don't talk about the layoffs! The layoffs?
I don't think so. But it is true that layoffs cause a climate of fear in the work place and that fear tends to result in lower productivity.
Now a few well places firings can have the opposite result.
This author has never worked in private enterprise, never run a company and never had P&L responsibilities. Typical pointy-heading liberal academic.
This is just more hoopla from a poorly informed left wingnut.
The act of becoming "lean and mean" traditionally means doing more with less labor — that is, you increase productivity. If you can't also increase sales a comparable amount, you end up with excess workers. If sales drop but productivity keeps rising as it is now, what do all the excess workers do, take turns washing the CEO's car?
Another one from the marxist school of economics who cites other marxists and marxist studies to support his contentions. Productivity has nothing to do with the number of workers you have, there are other factors, technology etc. Liberals and the left think the job of corporations and the government is to provide employment and a "living wage". Nothing but pure fantasies cooked up in those ivory towers that are seldom hit with reality. Utopians havbe caused more misery in the world than anyone. Over-educated assh*les with PhD's are still assh*les.
Another idiot that couldn't earn a living outside of a university!
this tripe is just another example of "publish or perish"!!
"Well-managed companies don't need layoffs."
Government does not seem to be doing any layoffs (though some states will be forced to). Would you say, for the same reason, the governments are "well managed" if they don't lay off workers?
I thought so. ;-)
>>Are you saying that people should have a right to a job and that companies should keep them on the payroll no matter how much it affects the firm negatively?
It's more complicated than that and I hope you know it. Employees aren't meat robots that can be used and discarded and jobs aren't a lifetime entitlement either. There has to be some middle ground where we can work together.
When I was an industrial electrician in a factory, the company announced that there "might" be layoffs. I mailed out resumes and found a new job. On the day after they announced that 1/3 of the plant's labor force would be laid off in two months, I gave my two weeks notice.
The plant manager called me in and YELLED at me for letting him down because, "with these staff cuts, I'll need your expertise (as an automation programmer) more than ever." (He had announced the day before that I was in the group that would still have a job for 6-12 more months). I told him that it's nothing personal and that it's just business (the exact phrase he had used the previous day), but he still said that he felt betrayed.
Well layoffs are not necessary bad, except rule #1 of buisness—> MBAs take care off their own.
Which means they rarely lay off the right people. It's always the productive people who get laid off leaving behind the ass kissers and dead weight.
So while many productive employees have lost their jobs, few if any of the 6 to 7 figure dead weight positions like "Senior vice president for global support services, Director of Communications for the East Coast, Vice President of Mission Related Services, Vice President of Administrative Services, etc, etc, etc will lose theirs.
I have seen way too many times companies continue to lay off the 30-50K a year produces while leaving behind the dead weight pretty much right up until they drive the company right out of business.
That's one of the reasons I believe the economy still has a long way to fall. American companies are still bloated with these 6 figure do nothings and once they start losing their jobs, they are pretty much unemployable at anything else (especially at their current inflated salaries). So we are going to have a lot people out there used to a 100K lifestyle not able to find any job.
Newsbleak forgets to mention that the one airline - Southwest - that didn't have layoffs was the one who isn't unionized. In fact, as many airlines gave up routes and terminal space, Southwest lapped them up.
Non-union Southwest laps the other airlines because they aren't beholden to overbearing unions.
I know, I know. Cattle car. No frills. Frequent stops, etc. But Southwest has a business model that works and it's been working for 40 years now. A lot of that has to do with managers running their business without the constant meddling of unions.
I work for a mega-corp. My branch, which is well run has had no layoffs. There was not even a hint of it from our boss.
Across town the other branch has had to layoff about half of their sales and support staff.
Same area, same product, same customer base. Two different management styles.
Yep, there is no more loyalty. Why should employees be loyal when the company is not loyal in return. We are "Free Agent Nation."
Mister Pheffer chooses to believe that we must be preposterously stupid enough to fall for his Goebbelsian, and transparent LIE.
I read last year on Glenn Becks site a letter froma small business employer who took a different route to beat the criminals in DC. To counter Obama's destruction of the US economy is to try to maintain what you have and find ways to gain strength. If employee's would cooperate and work closer with management and management be more truthful, open the books so to speak and allow the employee the opportunity to understand what keeps them afloat I think we can beat them at thier own game! Sacrifice, truthful honest sacrifice on both ends, employer and employee would throw a wrench in zero's diabolical scheme to kill America.
Sometimes trying to discuss the importance of American jobs, and keeping Americans competent by (not) sending jobs overseas, it seems here on this board, there are some almost intent on living up to the leftwing caricature of selfish conservatives.
America is sinking. We are sending our jobs, our money and our technical capabilities to countries which are intent on our destruction.
All I see from our side, is cheering on, of that process.
How about we start thinking of AMERICA for a change. Before profits. There's plenty of room for profits, but at the expense of our nation itself?
Seriously. Our current path is toward implosion. Bankrupt, technically incapable, and without any meaningful industry.
Just in case it's not obvious to anyone, that is not a good thing.
Yeah I know, that's commie talk. /s
This practice worked well for General Motors and Chrysler.
You left off the "Sarcasm" tag.
OK fair question.
I mean we aim our trade guns OUT.
We enact rigourous international bilateral trade policies for external trade, which require completely reciprocal trade with every nation. No exceptions, unless we have a surplus - of course that's ok, let the other side worry about that.
Within our borders, 100% lasse faire unshackled, brass knuckles capitalism.
That's what that means.
America first. Then we all compete with each other, rather than slave laborers around the globe.
Well, after working at the new place for three years, I got a call from a head hunter ...
You cannot imagine how upset the second company was when I only gave two weeks notice when I left to go work for that third company! They said they felt betrayed.
Funny how that works out, huh?
This being the case, then Osama Bin Laden is smiling with glee via a job well done.
After all, isn't the destruction of our economy the first focus of Al Qaeda?
Maybe the Stanford prof could make the same arguments to Newsweak; their circulation is way off. But they'd better not let anyone go, lest they be just another hypocrite liberal news outlet.
Heh heh, here comes Jeffrey Pfeffer and the rest of the liberal professors, going to work for Ubama and the rats.
The problem is that money is global, corporations are global. The vision Arthur Jensen had in Network, is now closer to fruition than ever:
You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it. You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations; there are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There is no third world. There is no west. There is only one holistic system of systems; one vast interwoven, interacting, multivariate multinational dominion of dollars. Petrodollars, electrodollars, reichmarks, rubles, rin, pounds and shekels. It is the international system of currency that determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic, subatomic and galactic structure of things today. It is the international system of currency that determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things. You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and you will atone! Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale? You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and Democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT &T and Dupont, Dow, Union Carbide and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today. What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state? Karl Marx? They pull out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, and minimax solutions and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments just like we do. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations inexorably determined by the immutable by-laws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale! It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live to see that perfect world in which there is no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company for whom all men will work to serve a common profit and in which all men will own a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you to preach this evangel.
Obviously you are unaware of the fact that Southwest is a big union shop. It is definitely not non-union. Don't feel bad. It is a common error by those that don't know much about airlines, or Southwest in particular. Research is always a good thing. I am often embarrassed when I shoot from the hip around here. A little research before posting helps, but not always. :-)
Basic manufacturing is a good and essential economic endeavor. Well, if someone on the other side of the world will manufacture the goods for $1 day, then Americans can "compete" if they will do the work for less than $1 a day. Uhhhhhh, that won't fly -- unless we're willing to turn our country into Haiti.
We cannot all be farmers, and we cannot all be copywriters. Some people need to make stuff. And those people need to survive. With a truly global economy, that really becomes challenging and just leads to a growing segment of the population that cannot survive without government "assistance".
It's a knee-jerk reaction to say "tariffs cause trade wars and do nothing but damage" but I think corporate taxes do a lot of damage too. Overall, I think this country would be better off with a little more emphasis on tariffs and a lot less emphasis on taxation.
Newsweak's ad revenue was down almost 50% last quarter and they cut a bunch of their liberal staffers right before Christmas. Funny how the liberal corporate elite don't practice what they preach.
That is absolutely the LAST piece of information this simple, Ubama-loving professor would include in his thesis.
You wrote: Employees arent meat robots that can be used and discarded.
I'm afraid they are. Employees are hired when there is work to be done. No work, no employee needed.

In this paper we describe the usage of physical posters as gateways to mobile services that are related to advertisements and information presented on these posters. In our approach the user can interact through a mobile device with services that are represented by a poster. Our aim is to create a system that allows seamless and natural interaction of users with posters. Our work is based on a requirements analysis. We investigated placement and physical accessibility of posters and the behaviour of people waiting in public places. Based on these observations, additional interviews, and an Internet questionnaire, we extracted scenarios and present an overall architecture of our system. A prototype, taking these results into account is outlined at the end of the paper.

For clonal propagation ofAsparagus cooperi, shoot tips and node explants of 7, 20 and 35 d old spear from the region within 10 cm and below 25 cm from the apex were cultured in modified Murashige and Skoog's (1962) medium containing 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The required concentration of BAP varied in explants of different ages and types. In shoot tip culture, the rate of shoot multiplication was higher after 40 d than 60 d of culture. The maximum mumber (62–65) of shoots were obtained from shoot tip explants of 20 d old spear in the medium containing 2.0 mg dm−3 of BAP, 80 mg dm−3 of adenine and 0.02 mg dm−3 of α-naphthalene acetic acid after 60 d of culture. From node cultures, high number of shoots were obtained after 30 d. Pretreatment with BAP in liquid medium for 48 h was effective for semirejuvenescence. The individual shoots produced roots in presence of indole-3-butyric acid and also in potassium salt of indole-3-butyric acid, the later being more effective. All regeneratns were cytologically stable.

Tim Burton's 'Frankenweenie' to get IMAX boost
Tim Burton's new animated film "Frankenweenie" is finding a profitable way to mix old and new technologies.
The stop-motion, black and white film will be digitally re-mastered into the IMAX 3D format and released in IMAX digital theatres worldwide day-and-date on October 5.
Unsurprisingly, it's the first black and white studio feature and first stop-motion animated movie to be shown in the giant format.
Burton's last stop-motion film, "Corpse Bride," made a small profit at the domestic box office by scooping up around $53 million, so "Frankenweenie's" IMAX stint should help the film easily top that number by appealing to the Burton faithful. They've helped turn "A Nightmare Before Christmas" into a substantial cult hit with limited annual holiday screenings.
In 2012, Burton's 3D "Alice in Wonderland" found great success at IMAX theaters, even in the wake of "Avatar" juggernaut.
"Frankenweenie," which is a remake of Burton's own 1984 live-action short, features the voices of Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short and Winona Ryder.

ASB Bank has cut its three, four and five-year fixed
home loan rates.
The biggest change is to five-year rates, with a 0.25 point
drop from 6.5 per cent to 6.25 per cent.
Three-year rates have been cut from 5.9 per cent to 5.75 per
cent, and four-year rates from 6.1 per cent to 5.95 per cent.
"ASB has reduced its three, four and five year fixed interest
rates to assist our customers who want more certainty in
their home loan repayments over the longer term," ASB
spokesman Shaun Drylie said.
"Our special two-year fixed home loan interest rate of 5.25
per cent has come to an end, and the two-year term is now
aligned this with the 12- and 18-month fixed home loan
interest rate of 5.4 per cent."
Last week, Statistics New Zealand said New Zealand's
consumers price index (CPI) fell 0.2 per cent in the December
2012 quarter, which was below expectations.
With the annual inflation rate now at only 0.9 per cent, most
economists expect the Reserve Bank will not make cuts to the
Official Cash Rate until next year.

We have been going to this restaurant since we moved here. Every dish we have had has been excellent and the service is great! Have yet to find an item on the menu that is not as good as the last visit. Highly recommend this family restaurant to anyone visiting agassiz. You will not be disappointed!

Shell to Rio Tinto Lead U.S. Bond Sales of $35 Billion in Week
Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Europe's largest oil producer, and miner Rio Tinto Group led borrowers selling at least $35 billion in dollar-denominated bonds this week as relative yields narrowed to the lowest level in a year.
While sales fell from $39.2 billion in the five days ended Aug. 10, the busiest period since March, issuance exceeded the weekly 2012 average of $26.6 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The extra yield investors demand to hold corporate bonds rather than government debt narrowed 3 basis points to 265 basis points, or 2.65 percentage points, the lowest since Aug. 3, 2011, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate & High Yield index.
"Spreads are just so incredibly tight that anybody who wants to issue, or thinks they should issue, is issuing," said Jody Lurie, a Philadelphia-based corporate credit analyst at Janney Montgomery Scott LLC. "It's that whole concept of not wanting to wait."
Companies took advantage of borrowing costs at about record lows, uncertain whether the Federal Reserve will undertake a third round of asset purchases to reduce borrowing costs as the U.S. housing market shows signs of improvement. In Europe, the German and French economies slowed less than expected.
Yields Rise
Yields rose 9 basis points to 4.01 percent yesterday, the first time they've exceeded 4 percent since an unprecedented fall below that level on July 18, Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data show. Yields reached a record-low 3.9 percent Aug. 2.
Sales of investment-grade debt were $23.8 billion this week, down from $26.7 billion in the five days ended Aug. 10 and compared with a 2012 weekly average of $20.6 billion, Bloomberg data show.
Shell raised $2.5 billion in a three-part sale with its first bond offering since 2010, Bloomberg data show. The company, which is based in The Hague, sold $1 billion each of 1.125 percent, five-year notes and 2.375 percent, 10-year bonds, and $500 million of 3.625 percent, 30-year debt.
Rio Tinto, the world's third-largest miner, issued $3 billion in bonds in the London- and Melbourne-based company's second sale this year, including $1.25 billion of 1.625 percent, five-year notes at a spread of 93 basis points, Bloomberg data show. BHP Billiton and Vale SA are the two biggest mining companies.
Yields on investment-grade debt reached 3.18 percent yesterday, an 11 basis-point increase from 3.07 percent on Aug. 10, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Master index. Spreads decreased 1 basis point to 186 basis points. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
Speculative-Grade Sales
New-home construction in the U.S. fell in July, while the number of building permits jumped to the highest level in four years, indicating the industry may keep improving in the second half of the year. Building permits, a proxy for future construction, rose to an 812,000 pace, the most since August 2008.
Gross domestic product in the 17-nation euro-area fell 0.2 percent in the second quarter from the first, when it stagnated, the European Union's statistics office in Luxembourg said Aug. 14. Germany's economy grew 0.3 percent, compared with economists' forecast of 0.2 percent, and France's economy stalled for a third straight quarter, better than an estimated 0.1 percent contraction.
High-yield offerings of $11.2 billion this week are down from $14.5 billion in the five days ended Aug. 10 and compare with a weekly average of $5.9 billion this year, Bloomberg data show. The sales helped bring August issuance of $30.5 billion to the highest on record for the month.
DaVita Offering
Yields on junk debt were unchanged this week at 7.42 percent, Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data show. Spreads decreased 9 basis points to 589 basis points.
DaVita Inc., the dialysis services provider whose biggest shareholder is billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., sold $1.25 billion of 5.75 percent, 10-year bonds at a relative yield of 404 basis points, Bloomberg data show. Proceeds will help the company fund its $4.4 billion acquisition of HealthCare Partners.
"We're seeing very healthy, strong flows into high-yield bond funds and ETFs," James Kochan, chief fixed-income strategist at Wells Fargo Fund Management LLC in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin said in a telephone interview. "There is money to be put to work and the issuers know that."

- Does not have a accessory list. Did not come with the correct size carter pins. Review by Wayne Wootton
Value Quality Price
I became disappointed with this pump when I tried to install it on my ATI tank. First I discovered the package parts for the attachment on the handle had the wrong size carter pins, so I could not assemble my pump completely.
Second The ATI tank comes with the NPT female attachment (Only One of two needed) so that you can screw on your gas cap. I ordered the GPI pump to install when I need it on the road not as a permanent. But the pump does not come with a male attachment that fits on top of the female one that comes with the ATI tank so that you can attach the pump and remove it, then screw on your gas cap. There was no assessor list that came with the pump or on rural kings or ATI's web site. I had to go to the hardware store to buy one but it is metal and it should be the aluminum one.

Connection Manager Administration Kit Welcome
Updated: January 21, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
Before you run the Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK) wizard, you should plan and develop the Connection Manager custom elements that you want in your client dialer. Then, simply run the CMAK wizard, answering the questions and providing the information about your custom elements. The CMAK wizard then builds a service profile, which is a set of files which you distribute to your users so that they can easily install and run your custom version of Connection Manager.
The CMAK wizard and this documentation is designed for the network administrators, information officers, and other team members responsible for the design, development, testing, distribution, and support of connection software for the customers who connect to your Internet or network service.
About this documentation
The CMAK wizard provides defaults that support quick and easy creation of a basic Connection Manager service profile. If you want to use all of the defaults and do not want to take advantage of the many customizable elements, you probably do not need this documentation.
However, if you want a custom dialer that promotes your brand and supports more advanced functions, such as automatic phone book updates and support for virtual private networking, you need this documentation to help you effectively plan and implement your custom elements.
The information in this documentation is based on the assumption that you have already installed the CMAK software. For more information on evaluating Connection Manager, see the Microsoft Web site.
You can display this documentation directly from the CMAK wizard by clicking Help. When you click Help in a pane of the CMAK wizard, the Help topic associated with that specific pane appears.

I haven't been on since probably some time in 2012. I just wanted to see how everyone is doing?! Time has flown - my gals are already 20 months old. We may be crazy, but we went off BCP last month. I have PCOS, so likely nothing will happen though. If nothing does happen, we plan to start fertility cycles in July after my BFF gets married.
I have to admit. I LOVE being a mom to multiples. Two for the price of one, and everything is happening (at least close to) in sync. Except potty training - believe it or not, one is semi-ready even though it is way early. She heads to her potty once per day (we have it sitting out so they get used to it being in our bathroom) and says "peepee" and goes if I put her on it. I think its honestly just to imitate us b\c its usually when I go too. The other is NOT EVEN CLOSE! THat may be a pain. Any suggestions? Wait and do it all at once, or train when they seem ready?
Hope everyone is well. And Hi to the new people!

Carol M. Gilliland and Michael W. Chastain
Published: Friday, February 22, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 21, 2008 at 10:33 p.m.
Carol Marie Gilliland and Michael Wayne Chastain, brother and sister, who took their very first steps in the same home as children and grew up side by side, were unexpectedly taken from this world, together, on Tuesday morning, Feb. 19, 2008.
Michael Wayne Chastain, 58, served his country honorably with the Air Calvary during the Vietnam conflict and will be fondly remembered for his dry sense of humor, his love of golf and his steadfast loyalty towards his many friends and those close to him.
Carol Marie Gilliland, 52, was a respected culinary talent and will be warmly remembered for her kind and giving heart, her contagious laughter, her love of animals and the caring devotion shown to her family and all who came into her life.
They both share the same legacy of a very loving family and countless friends from coast to coast and who within each one will remain a tribute to the many unique and very special qualities of this loving brother and this caring sister. We love you Mike, we love you Carol and you will both be missed.
In lieu of flowers and a formal service, they preferred donations be made in their name to the American Heart Association or the charity of your choice. They would have wanted for all of their many friends to remember them at any time and location and in whatever manner which would make you feel the closet to each of them. The family will be at home to receive friends on Woodhaven Drive, Spartanburg, S.C.
The Cremation Society of South Carolina is in charge of the arrangements.
