I'm trying to set up my brother (who has a PPC Mac, with 1 ghz processor and 256 ram) with a Linux distro that would allow him to surf the web on the device. Support has faded for the new browsers, rendering the device essentially useless when it comes to the web. Ideally I would have installed jolicloud, but alas, it is only Intel Mac compatible. Which distros still continue support for PowerPC?
I run Ubuntu 10.4 on an old 1.3 GHz PowerPC G4 iBook with 1 gig of RAM as a secondary laptop to mess around with. It runs OK with GNOME. You're going to be hurting with only 256 megs of RAM so if there's any way to upgrade, I'd suggest getting more RAM.
PenguinPPC has a list of distros with PowerPC support. Ubuntu and Debian are the ones I've used. Arch Linux and Gentoo support PowerPC but are compiled from source which you'll probably want to stay away from on an older machine like yours. Yellowdog is another one to consider, it is exclusively for PowerPC.
I personally like Ubuntu since its a desktop oriented distro, has stable release points (I run the LTS version), and offers a variety of desktop environments which is useful for older machines like yours.
For 256MB of RAM you have to look at lightweight distros, or use a minimum install and build up as you need. The PowerPC requirement may make it harder to find ready-made solutions, but if you are fine with a little work there are many options.
Remember, Linux is all about choice so there are more distros that can be suitable for you. I'm recommending these two because I'm more familiar with them.
This answer is posted from an iBook G4, with 768MiB RAM and a 1333MHz CPU (133MHz clock) running Debian 7.9 (wheezy) 32-bit. The machine is slow (even with three times as much RAM as you have), but functional, i.e., all of the hardware works, including Wi-Fi. I use Xfce. I would recommend adding as much memory as you can.

Shorts have driven value of Canadian Natural Resources down below fair value and CNQ management doesn't seem to have a clue as to how to stop it. How many days, weeks, and months are we going to keep seeing CNQ's pps in the red in after-hours trading which is an old short tactic. We desperately need a hint of a buy-out offer to get the short mongers scared. But as long as CNQ's top management make enough to cover their annual bonuses that is doubtful.
they are buying back shares but you are right...CNQ way beyond oversold...ridiculously cheap.
cnq will spring back with a vengeance, always does. If short position is large, the higher cnq will go on the unwind.

Affordable Care Act: A Tale of Frustration
Boling is frustrated with the website, but not as frustrated as Lara Imler. After weeks of trying — and failing — to make her application work, Imler wants a break from healthcare.gov.
She never got a packet from her insurance company asking her to pay the first premium. She figures canceling the plan — with the chance to start fresh later — is her best option.
So on a recent morning, she sat down in her living room, with her laptop and a cup of coffee to try to resolve her difficulties—but not without frustration.
"I've had to change my password about four times. Oh you know what, I have it written down. I cheated! There it is," she says.
The site logs Imler in pretty quickly. And after a few clicks she finds her enrollment information:
The application that she finished on Oct. 24 says, "status, complete." Imler clicks on the actual application and scrolls down to an ominous looking red icon that says, "terminate coverage."
"So you hit the terminate button. It says you've chosen to end the following coverage. … You then have to check 'I have fully read and understand that I'm choosing to terminate coverage,'" she says. "Then you click terminate again and we'll see what happens."
What happens is nothing. The health plan Imler signed up for is still listed in her profile. She logs out and then back in, and it looks exactly the same. She checks her e-mail for a notice of coverage termination and finds nothing there either. Imler leans back on the couch and looks surprisingly calm about the whole thing:
"I'm resigned to the fact that it doesn't work. No matter what I do, it just doesn't work. And this is the improved website."
When she is able to cancel her plan, Imler says she won't be quitting healthcare.gov for good. This is a separation, not a divorce. Imler's been uninsured for nearly a decade and wants that to change. She plans to log back into the website early next year and is hopeful that signing up for insurance will go a lot more smoothly then.

The Bleu de Chanel travel spray. My SA also included a by killian refill bottle with 30ml of back to black. It sometimes pays to get your fragrances in store.
i have a 99% full bottle of platinum egoiste, with cap and box.
I could also decant you some pure havanne, and aventus, or tobacco vanille. pm, or email email@example.com
I stopped by my parents today to say hello and help my pops with some yardwork. They just got back from a two week vacation in Italy, and they brought me back a few gifts. One of those gifts was a...
I ended up winning a few auctions, so I'll have a total of around 15ml at my door in a few days. If I don't care for it too much ill just keep a 5ml decant. And sell the other two. I'll get back to...
Day Aventus, MI, or Chrome. Night New haarlem, Tobacco Vanille, or pure malt.
Heperd, I'll trust you on not buying a full bottle. Thanks again for the Aventus 50ml. Above.. Would you be willing to part with that decant??
Thanks! Ill try asking around, see if I can get a few samples. Ive heard it doesnt have all the TF qualities. But i need to give it a good wear or too. Lets just hope im not to impatient and end up...
Its good juice, great juice actually. I had a decant and blew threw it in a week. I may pick this one up as my free bottle at saks next week!!!
Im located in Michigan. I saw some on ebay, but I just cant see myself spending 15-25 on a carded sample. I called the store in NY, and failed to find anyone to help me out.
Thanks for the input SoGent, know anywhere i can get a sample??
I've been in search of a few new summer frags in the past month or so, and im extremely interested in Lavender Palm. Its unavailable at my local Saks, and Niemans. My Saks sales rep said she smelt it...
Pass, its a good frag. But the cherry note makes it too sweet for me.
I purchased a 50ml Rochas Man a few weeks ago for 9.99. I'd say that was a decent buy...
Would have to be Tobacco Vanille on a cold fall day, or Aventus when its 80 and sunny!

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York is increasing regulation of tanning salons and gyms offering indoor ultraviolet rays even as health advocates push to ban exposure by anyone under 18.
Last year, the World Health Organization classified indoor tanning as a definite cause of cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates there will be more than 68,000 cases of melanoma this year, more than 8,000 of them fatal.
New York law bans commercial indoor tanning for children under 14 and requires parental consent for those from 14 to 18.
The state Health Department plans this fall to begin tighter enforcement of current laws regulating tanning businesses.

I had bought and were the RED pumps and they felt and looked absolutely amazing (they are leather) and I give them 5 stars. Not the pink ones. I bought them on line because they were on sale but they are stiff and uncomfortable. I was not aware that they are NOT leather. I do not buy non leather shoes for that reason. Please be specific of what the shoes are made of. Thank you

Price was right...Not bad for white
By Vernita
I bought these as I needed for an "uninterrupted white" event. They were nice and comfortable during the short time I had to wear them. The price was the incentive.
I would buy every color
By Brenda
Bought these in navy. Comfortable and fits good. Love the heel height.
Beautiful Shoe

About Me Career, Modern, Stylish
Love the shoe, definitely true to size, however without a strap majority of the heels flop or slip off the heel. I purchased cushions ( foot petals / heavenly heelz) to keep my heel from slipping.
i would buy in another color

I bought a 9.5 because that was the closest size available; I'm glad I did, they fit perfect & a 9 would have been too small even thought I normally wear a 9 all the time

Just curious because apparently I'm over-reacting because I wish my brother would spend more than 3 hours a year with my son.
How much help/support do you get from friends/family?
I get a lot, no financially, but just being there for us in general kind of support. We have dinner with my mom and brothers about 3-4 times a week. I commute just so we can live in the same small town that my mom lives in and I grew up in. I can't imagine not having my family there.
I get a ton of help from my mom but nothing from my siblings. My sister lives 5 miles away and I see her just a few times a year when my mom has us all over.
Sometimes it really bothers me, but there is not a thing I can do about it, so I let it go. My kids would love to play with her kids more, but they are always too busy and she's just not interested.
I dont' assume anyone owes us time or help. My sisters I barely see and they are virtually no assistance to me at all and barely know my 6 year old child. My mom and dad are a huge help but live 3.5 hours away. My friends are integral to my life but I chose them as friends and kept them as friends due to their ability to love my son almost as if he's theirs. I think too often we get caught up thinking family defaults to loving us and those we love and thats just not true. i view them like friends, if I wouldn't be your friend then I'm not going to be an active sibling either.
ITA with Janet. Unfortunately, my family, if they weren't my family, are not people I would ever CHOSE to have in my life. Not that they aren't good in their own way, but I am the total blacksheep. My mom was not a great mom, she didn't beat us, and we had food, but she was totally self centered and really showed no interest in being a mom. My sister was/is the same way with her kids, and can't understand why her kids don't like her and want to be with their dad. My brother - great kid - but we have a huge age gap, and he has issues of his own. GREAT kid, but we really have nothing in common.
A lucky few have families who are close and spend lots of time together and genuinely want to help one another. Others don't..... I've found my good friends act more like the family I wish I had then the one I do.... not that I don't love my family, because I do, and if I needed a kidney, they'd be there (well, except probably for my sister, unless I paid her for it, lol)
My advice to you is to seek out people with similar values as you. Foser relationships with THEM and don't focus too much on where you family is lacking. Does that make sense??
Well I havent had my son yet, but so far my mom and sisters have been very helpful and supportive. I see no reason for that to stop. My dad seems excited but is an alcoholic so his involvement in my sons life will be minimal. And my older brother and his wife have given me a lot of stuff they had from my 2 year old nephews infancy, that I have a feeling they will be involved too.
Its my friends who I thought would be super happy and supportive that have fallen off the face of the earth and been no existant.
I dont know your situation but alot of times guys are kind of weird about kids. You might have to tell him how it makes you feel and try to find activites that they can both enjoy and bond over. It may seem unfair for you to do the work but if you want them to have a relationship you might have too.

"Tolerating others is the price we pay for being tolerated ourselves." -Dan Savage
There are times when I feel that I get no help from my family w/o feeling like I have to beg for it. My aunt watches my daughters so that I can attend school and that's it. She purchases things for them (I never ask her to) and I appreciate it.
I have another aunt that is nice enough to watch my girls so that I can work w/o bringing them with me b/c my mom was supposed to watch them and backed out at the last minute.
Sometimes I can get one of my cousins to watch them.
I'm not close with any of my brothers or sister.
I would love to have a sitter so that I could go out every once in a while, but that is very far fectched.
I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to handle things with the new baby that is on the way.
The people that I consider to be my friends live in different states.

"Never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference. ~unknown
Well I live with my mom and brother and so I know they will both be around a lot. But i'm afraid that even though my brother lives here he won't do any bonding with my baby becuase he doesn't with our sister's kids and they are here literally 4-5 days a week an overnight every weekend. But we will see.
This is my first kid and I'm young so a lot of my friends dont have kids yet and I'm nervous we'll grow apart, so we will see.
M (proud mama) to my little E (born January 2010)
~While we try to teach our children about life, our children teach us what life is all about~
When DD was born (even before then) I would NOT have made it without my family and my friends...hands down. When I had to go back to work, my older brother (who lives 45 min away from us) was my lifesaver when my mom fell thru those first couple of weeks. My nephew (he's 10 years older than my dd) absolutely Loves her...he's an only child and she's the closest thing to a sister that he'll ever get.
It's just my immediate family here, but my father left us a long time ago. So even though he's here in town, he's only seen dd once...and I did not let him get close enough to even look at her wrong. My mom saved my ass for the first 17 months by watching her while I worked. As for my little brother (he's 2 years younger than me), we only see him really for family get togethers. He's not particularly fond of holding dd...babies make him nervous, but he loves her a Lot! We just don't do much together, he's in a totally different place in his life. We're all close, but at a distance.
As for my friends...I've only ever had 5 or less all my life, but it's these same small group of friends that have Also saved my rear-end too many times to count. Between all the hand me downs, and having the only girl for them to Finally have an excuse to buy 'girly' things for, lol...dd is not lacking in the clothes/toys departments. Which has definately humbled me more than I ever imagined possible.
As much as I'd Love to take all the credit for having such a happy and healthy child...my friends and family are really what's helped make that possible. Now that she's 18 months old and my mom had her surgery and she's in daycare full time, I don't see everyone as much as I had when she was younger...but they're always there when I need something.
I get a lot of support from my parents, but not from siblings. Especially my brother - I just don't think a ton of men have the desire to hang out with young children, especially before they've become a father themselves.
I don't think anyone owes us their time.
A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle. -Gloria Steinem

Church of One Tree
The Church of One Tree, an old Baptist church built in 1873, is at 492 Sonoma Ave., on the portion of Sonoma Avenue west of Santa Rosa Avenue. It is attached to, and just north of, the adjacent Julliard Park, from which one can also reach the church. It was originally on Ross St. downtown, but was moved in 1957.
It was, as the name implies, built out of wood from a single giant redwood tree cut down in the logging sites in the nearby redwood forest. The church was an early feature of "Believe it or Not!" by Robert Ripley, a native of Santa Rosa.
It's not used as a church anymore and was once used as a memorial for Robert Ripley. The building, after having fallen into some disrepair, was recently fully restored inside and out and is now in beautiful condition. Owned by the city, it is open for certain events and sometimes at Christmas or the like and can be rented out for weddings or other private parties. Therefore, a casual visitor will not usually be able to go inside, but one can always see the outside.

The Hood House
The Hood House is a large brick house built in 1858 and one of the oldest surviving buildings in the region outside Sonoma and Petaluma. It was made by William Hood from bricks fired on the property. The location was previously the Mexican Rancho Los Guilicos, belonging to a daughter of Dona Maria Carrillo, who settled Santa Rosa, and sister-in-law of Mariano Vallejo. It is situated in a picturesque location just outside Santa Rosa at the base of rugged Hood Mountain on a small rise overlooking the northern Sonoma Valley and the portion of Santa Rosa that extends into the valey.
Eventually, the building ended up with the State, which used it as part of the Los Guilicos juvenile detention center, built up around it. It was eventually trasnferred to Santa Ros Junior College and is being renovated.
The site is actually right on the way up to Hood Mountain park, which has hiking, etc., and one will go right past it when travelling between Santa Rosa and Sonoma or Kenwood.
Although the public cannot as yet enter the building, one can walk all around it and look in the windows. The grounds are interesting and the setting quite picturesque, still able to evoke feelings of early California in this rugged eastern edge of Santa Rosa, a large town mostly situated in gentle, rolling countryside. In addition, one can look at the interesting, derelict old Los Guilicos buildings, including several attractive old brick builduings from about the 1930s to 1940s, as well as newer buildings from the 1950s or so. One also cannot enter these due to safety issues and some areas are blocked off but it's interesting to wander around the abandoned sites with no-one else around.
To get here, follow 4th St/Hwy 12 east from Santa Rosa. As one is just leavivng the town, still with some Oakmont area development around, turn left onto Pythian Rd.

Santa Rosa High School
Santa Rosa High School, the 9th oldest chartered higgh school in California, was founded in 1874, although Santa Rosa had earlier had other schools. While Santa Rosa now has several high schools, this one is still in operation and it stands out as the most magnificent old school in the region. It consists of some beautiful old buildings in a very attractive setting.
While neither the original building, nor the grand Victorian building built in 1896 survives, Santa Rosa is fortunate to retain the campus and buildings which opened in 1924. The buildings are a brick Gothic Revival complex, complete with gargoyles. They were recently renovated inside and a brand-new building was constructed in 2005 in practically the same style., to be faithful to the architecural heritage of the campus.
As a result, Santa Rosa High School has a beautiful old campus that is exceedingly rare and is interesting to visit (even though one might not think of a high school as a place to see). Many people also consider it to be the "epitome" of the American high school, much Alfred Hitchcock used the town itself long ago as the epitome of the American small city. In fact, the school was used as the high school in the fim Peggy Sue Got Married, which otherwise was largely filmed in nearby Petaluma (Petaluma's old neo-classical high school having been torn down and replaced in 1958 with a "modern" structure that was apparently unsuitable for the film).
The campus and main building are generally open during the day until the afternoon in the summer time, when school is out.
It is located on the west side of Mendocino Ave., one of the main streets, north of College Ave., which is north of downtown. Mendocino Ave. runs roughly north-south and to the soutth goes through the heart of downtown, becoming Santa Rosa Ave. south of Old Courthouse Square. The school is adjacent to, and directly south of, Santa Rosa Junior College, a major junior college which also is worth visiting for its beautiful campus and similar brick neo-gothic buildings.

Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery, etc.
Although now surrounded by town, Santa Rosa's old cemetery still has a rather wild setting on a forested hill. The area consists of several theorestically different cemeteries, including the IOOF cemtery, but they all run together as one. It contains graves going back more than 150 years to the town's beginnings, as well as a number of small mausolea.
Because of its unkempt setting of winding paths over undeulating ground under knarly oak trees and the dilapidated condition of many of the old tombs and gravestones, many people consider it to be among the creepiest cemeteries in the western U.S., especially in autumn when the leaves are falling from the trees.
The cemetery is the location of a tree from which vigilantes hanged some criminals in one of California's last mob lynchings in 1920.
Next to the Franklin Avenue entrance is the grave and memorial to about 40 of those who died in Santa Rosa on 18 April 1906 in the 1906 "San Francisco" earthquake.
The oldest identifiable grave is from 1854, but there are many from the later 1850s on. As is common from the time, there are numerous graves of infants and young children. Some graves of Japanese residents are written in Japanese, although apparently in the past no Chinese were allowed to be buried here.
In the more modern memorial park area, in what is apparently the IOOF part of the cemetery (more manicured and less wooded) is the grave of Robert Ripley, creator of Ripley's Believe it or Not. He was a native of Santa Rosa. The tombstone also has his parents and states "Believe it or not!"
It is on Franklin Ave. in NE Santa Rosa.

Carrillo Adobe
The ruins of the Carrillo Adobe, essentially an empty shell of a building under a shed roof to protect it from the elements, stand in a field in eastern Santa Rosa. The adobe is on Montgomery Drive in the Montgomery Village area of town. The land is still apparently private proeprty, though, so I don't think anyone is actually free to go on it. The Catholic church, with St. Eugene's Cathedral next door, has long owned the property and recently a developer has put forth plans to buy it and develop it, but people are clamouring to preserve the adobe and have it open to the public to see. Hopefully, something like that will happen. Although there is not much there, it's an important site as it is one of the last and northernmost settlements of California's Spanish/Mexican era. The building dates from about 1836 and was the focal point of the Rancho Cabeza de Santa Rosa, home of Dona Maria Carrillo, mother-in-law to Mariano Guadelupe Vallejo, the famous local Mexican commandant-turned-Sonoma leading citizen and California politician. Her son, Julio Carrillo, helped found the town of Santa Rosa and lay out its original streets.

Safari West
Located mid-way between Santa Rosa and Callistoga just off the Mark West Highway, Safari West provides a wonderful venue for those who like animals.
Day trips are accomodated, but staying there is much better. Accomodations are African Tent Cabins, imported just to set the theme. Rates vary with the season
Safari drives through the 400 acre wildlife preserve to view the animals up close are $60 for adults and $28 for children. Group rates provide discounts. The "tour" is 2.5-3.5 hours in length with part of the tour allowing you to walk among the animals.
During peak season and even at times in the winter lunch and diner are served in the "dining tent." The barbeque dining was very good. Continental Breakfast is included with accomodations.

Mom bought some chicks last autumn and built a little chicken coop. Surprise -- one of those chicks was a rooster!
So recently one of the chickens found a spot on the patio, between the back of a sofa and a wall corner, laid some eggs and started sitting on them. After a while, one of the eggs hatched. Wow - a chick! Neat!
Mom was then concerned that the other eggs hadn't hatched, so maybe they weren't fertile. She picks up one and gently shakes it... and "peep!" says the egg! The next day... chick number 2!
So mom waits a few more days and still the other eggs are silent. She begins thinking of omlettes...
Then she picks up the eggs and gives them some gentle shakes... "Peep! Peep! Peep!"
Mom's turned in to a chicken rancher.
Would you like a tissue?
Neighbors of my mother breed horses for olympic jumping competitions. On Easter Sunday, we went for a walk along the country road by my mothers and stopped in for a visit with the horses. This particular horse is a big, beautiful boy, and very friendly. He came trotting up to the fence and you could almost hear him say, "Please come rub my muzzle!" So, of course, I obeyed. We had a lovely time until he let go a mighty *snort* and sprayed me pretty well with blech... Ah well, the life of an animal lover! I wiped myself clean of most of the mess, blew in his nostrils, pet his muzzle and said goodbye for the day.
Find a family who's throwing a party
If you're lucky (and my friend), you might get invited to a party at my mother's home. Here she is, with our friend Michael, getting an "egg-toss" event going on Easter 2003. She throws a *terrific* party, no matter the ocassion!

To provide guidance and recommendations for the planning or renovation of intensive care units (ICUs) with respect to the specific characteristics relevant to organizational and structural aspects of intensive care medicine.
The Working Group on Quality Improvement (WGQI) of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) identified the basic requirements for ICUs by a comprehensive literature search and an iterative process with several rounds of consensus finding with the participation of 47 intensive care physicians from 23 countries. The starting point of this process was an ESICM recommendation published in 1997 with the need for an updated version.
The document consists of operational guidelines and design recommendations for ICUs. In the first part it covers the definition and objectives of an ICU, functional criteria, activity criteria, and the management of equipment. The second part deals with recommendations with respect to the planning process, floorplan and connections, accommodation, fire safety, central services, and the necessary communication systems.
This document provides a detailed framework for the planning or renovation of ICUs based on a multinational consensus within the ESICM.

Is it possible to edit the CSS of WPTouch Mobile so that the page/post title area (which is default green) has a smaller font & margin/padding to it?
I know some CSS, but I'm not finding the class of this area in the Bauhaus stylesheet. Can you point me in the right direction?
And, once I identify the class to target, am I right in assuming that I can put the amended CSS at the bottom of the stylesheet in my active theme, so that it doesn't get overwritten the next time WPTouch updates?

Wow! I made my own jam and it set up well and tastes wonderful! I halved the recipe and used freezer jam pectin (all I had). Also cooked fresh pears, and so had to add extra water to the mixture in step 3 while boiling, to prevent burning. It made 2 (12 oz) jars that I froze and about 1/2 cup more. I tried it on a bagel and my picky DD liked it. I didn't tell her what was in it!
Oh my goodness! You need to try this jam, it is amazing! All of my guests that I served it to (I had to show it off!) thought that the "secret" ingredient was apples or something because of the cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. No one guessed carrots! It is a sweet, flavorful marmalade, very worth a try. I loved it and will definately keep making it! Very interesting, delicious, and nutrious twist!

Is there a way to retain the Custom CSS of a table when copying it?
Is there a way to retain the Custom CSS of a table when copying it?
thanks for your question.
Retain the "Custom CSS"? I'm not sure I understand. No "Custom CSS" is deleted or modified, when a table is copied.
You will need to go to the "Custom CSS" textarea in the "Plugin Options" (which holds the CSS for all tables at once), find the relevant CSS for the table that was copied (by picking everything that includes that table's ID), copy that, paste it in again and modify the ID to the new ID.
Hi Tobias,
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using TablePress on a client's site who will need to replicate a table week after week, changing only the contents. That table has some custom CSS. I'm looking for the SIMPLEST way for him to be able to reuse the styling from that first table each week. I knew of the method you mentioned, but didn't know if there was any other way to...um... I don't know? make any tables copied from that original table inherit it's styling, even if we have to do it through the theme.
thanks for the explanation! Yes, I can think of a way! We could use an "Extra CSS class" for this.
For example, you can use the CSS class "tablepress-weekly-update", or whatever you want to call it.
Then, just change the CSS for the table that is going to be copied accordingly, i.e. replace the selectors
.tablepress-id-123 (or whatever the ID of the "master table" is) with
The clue is now to add "tablepress-weekly-update" into the "Extra CSS classes" textfield on the "Edit" screen of the "master table". As all copies of that "master table" will have the extra CSS class ("tablepress-weekly-update") as well, the CSS that uses that class will automatically be applied.
I hope that explanation is not too confusing... :-)
Makes perfect sense. Thanks!
great! :-) I hope that this approach works for you and your client!
Best wishes,
P.S.: In case you haven't, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!

Melrose Keen for Next Investment After Disposals Last Year
Melrose Industries Plc, a U.K.-based investment vehicle, is ready for its next acquisition after improving profitability at gas, water and electricity metering company Elster Group SE, Chairman Christopher Miller said.
Elster's businesses now make up two-thirds of group revenue after Melrose sold five of its FKI companies last year for about 950 million pounds ($1.58 billion), including U.S. lifting-gear equipment makers Crosby and Acco to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. in November, the culmination of a five-year investment.
"We are ready and keen to buy again but we remain patient for the right opportunity," Miller said in a statement today.
Melrose will be looking for its next purchase at an international manufacturing engineering business, most probably based in the U.S. or in Europe, for a range of 1 billion pounds to 3 billion pounds, Geoff Martin, Melrose's chief financial officer, said in a telephone interview.
"We know what we're looking for and we have an eye on a number of opportunities," Martin said. "When we spot the right opportunity we'll move ahead."
Operating income increased 20 percent last year to 274.9 million pounds before some costs on a proforma basis, as profits at Elster rose by more than a third in the first full year of ownership, the London-based company said today. Melrose remains confident over the medium-term and anticipates further margin improvements despite increasing currency headwinds into 2014, it said.
Difficult Process
The operating margin at Mainz-Kastel, Germany-based Elster rose 3.3 percentage points to 17.4 percent, driven mostly by the water business. The process of turning around Bridon and Brush, the remaining two energy businesses in FKI, will be more "difficult" as a result of weaker demand for mining ropes and new generators, at least in the short term, the company said.
Melrose returned part of net proceeds from the FKI disposals to shareholders last month, equivalent to about 600 million pounds in cash or 47 pence per ordinary share.
"Results are good and a touch better than forecasts, despite currency headwinds and some weaker trading at Bridon," David Larkam, an analyst at Numis Securities Ltd., said in an e-mail. "Key will be the next purchase which does not appear to be on the cards just yet." Numis cut its rating to sell from hold "purely short-term on valuation grounds," he said.
Melrose has returned 30 percent to its shareholders over the last year including reinvested dividends, compared with a 12 percent gain for the FTSE All-Share Index. The stock fell 6.7 percent to 305.4 pence at 11:12 a.m. in London.

Brief Synopsis
As American operations against terrorism spread around the globe to places like Afghanistan and the Philippines, an increasing tendency has been for commentators to draw parallels with past experience in Vietnam. Even soldiers on the ground have begun to speak in such terms. The author analyzes the Army's response to that defeat in Southeast Asia and its long-term impact. Contrary to the accepted wisdom that nations which lose wars tend to learn best how to correct their mistakes, he argues that Americans tried to forget the unhappy experience with counterinsurgency by refocusing on conventional wars. While that process eventually produced the powerful force that won the Persian Gulf War, it left an Army with force structure, doctrine, and attitudes that are much less applicable to the peace operations and counterterrorism campaign it now faces. The author asserts that the Army must change in order to operate effectively in the full spectrum of future requirements, and it is time to reexamine the war in Vietnam. He also draws attention to the service's "Lessons Learned" process, and provides insights as to how the experience gained in Operation ENDURING FREEDOM should be analyzed and applied.

7 Steps to Take Care of Yourself
You can do a lot for your health:
- Take your meds. Remember: RA treatment -- with drugs that slow or stop the disease -- helps your joints.
- See your rheumatologist. Medical problems are more likely if your disease is severe or not treated. With regular checkups and screening, your RA doctor can catch problems before they become serious.
- Watch for infections. See your doctor at the first sign. If you delay, your symptoms may be much harder to treat.
- Protect your heart. Like anyone at risk for heart disease, you should stick to a heart-healthy lifestyle. Get advice from your doctor. But a healthy diet, regular exercise, and not smoking are all important.
- Get your vaccines. They are especially important because you have a higher risk of infection. Ask your doctor about vaccines for flu, pneumonia, pertussis, and shingles.
- See other specialists. To prevent eye problems, see an eye doctor once a year. You may need bone density tests and screening tests by a skin or heart doctor. If you think you might be depressed, see a mental health counselor or therapist. Your doctor can give you a referral.
- Stay upbeat. Focus on what you can do. You and your doctor can handle whatever comes up.

Here's what to look for tonight in Cincinnati.
Steeler Week
Or so they say in Cincinnati. For the last eight years or so, the week they host the Steelers has been this team's Super Bowl. Is it just me or are they not the only team to have something called "Steeler Week"?
Marvin Lewis always has this team ready to roll when Pittsburgh comes to town, in most cases they just haven't been able to translate it into the actual game until just last season.
Just The Bengals
These might not be the same Bengals that we have become used to going out there, taking over their stadium and then folding up their team like a pup tent. Then again, they still might be.
As I touched on in my last segment, they were ready for the Steelers last season not just once, but twice.
They drove right into the teeth of that not-so-vaunted Steelers defense for a game-winning score with 14 seconds remaining and thus sentencing Steelers fans to just one of what would become many fourth-quarter collapses. They have also won nine of their last 10 AFC North games.
Terrell Owens/Chad Johnson
The above names, and yes I still refuse to refer to Johnson by his now legal name, are considered to be studs in the business of catching passes and scoring touchdowns, but for years I have digressed. These two are both very inconsistent, especially when playing Pittsburgh.
Johnson routinely gets shut down, mainly by Ike Taylor. He has had some success against Pittsburgh, like earning eight catches for 86 yards in 2007 in the game in Pittsburgh, but then disappears in games like on Wildcard Weekend in 2005 where he had four for 59 yards.
Owens, on the other hand, has three grabs for 32 yards and a touchdown, that being for Dallas in 2008, and seven for 53 yards in the upset over the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004. He was covered well in both games as well as throwing a sideline tantrum in each.
Maybe they are great receivers. They just won't ever win a Super Bowl and that's something I have been right about so far in their careers.
They might get their fair share of catches on the Steelers defense, but they rarely find the end zone, which is key when playing against players like these two.
Steelers Pass Defense
The pass defense hasn't been the same in recent weeks. After being in the upper echelon of the league in yards per game, they are now sitting at 25th.
Believe what you want, because I know a lot of Steelers fans are overly critical around here, but I say it's mostly because of having big leads late in games.
That is when teams switch to a no-huddle style of offense that features many passing plays. They also just faced the Saints last week, which is mainly a pass-first team.
Run the Ball
Somehow I find myself yelling this about six or seven times each game, but the fact is that the Steelers need to run the ball more effectively tonight.
Last week in New Orleans, they ran 21 times for 108 yards. Looks great at first, but 38 of those were on Rashard Mendenhall's touchdown run late in the game. Other than that, the Steelers got no push up front.
The Bengals held Pittsburgh to rushing totals of 102 and 80, respectively in both games last season.
The Bengals are currently 23rd in the league in yards given up on the ground per game, but something tells me the Steelers will somehow find a way to play down to them this evening.
Ben Roethlisberger
Maybe it's just because he is still in preseason form, but 195 yards through the air isn't going to cut it against the defending champions in prime time and it didn't as we all witnessed last Sunday. I don't care if you blame him, Bruce Arians or crappy receiver play for that, it can't happen tonight.
Roethlisberger has only lost twice in the state of Ohio, his home state of course, with both losses having come last year. One was the defensive collapse in Cincinnati and the other was in Cleveland, where the team just quit. I expect another notch in the win column this time around.
And since it's Monday, I've got to ask. Are you ready for some football?

Bridging Digital & Physical Worlds for the Right Customer Experience
April 15, 2016
by Chris Martins, Product Marketing Manager, Trillium Software
Reconciling the borderless nature of digital interactions with the physical world of where customers actually are can present challenges. Unless potential issues are anticipated and addressed in your processes and supporting systems the price you pay can be a poor experience delivered to your [potential] customers. Below is an example (a personal anecdote) of how those challenges can crop up.

CHINA: ZF Friedrichshfen wins Beijing order for 2,200 bus axle systems
By Simon Warburton | 22 January 2013
Beijing's Public Transport Corporation (BPTC) has placed an order for ZF Friedrichshafen low-floor axles, with 2,200 buses to be equipped with the German supplier's technology and delivered to the Chinese capital this year.
For ZF, this means a large supply volume of more than 5,000 axle systems as several axle sets are installed in each bus - including components such as shock absorbers and chassis modules:
Systems include the RL 85 EC front axle, providing for a wide centre aisle in the passenger compartment and a floor height of 350mm, to the AV132 drive axle and the AVN132 tag axle. Low floor height allows for step-free and quicker entry and exit at all doors.
ZF says this increases passenger flow and enables bus lines to be operated efficiently, with idle times at every stop claimed to be half as long at 16 seconds.
The ZF-Servocom, a ball-and-nut power steering system, is supplied by ZF Lenksysteme, a 50:50 joint venture of ZF and Bosch, for all 2,200 buses.
It supports the steering behaviour of buses equipped with ZF's low-floor technology, with BPTC also ordering this system for another 800 intercity vehicles.
"The Beijing BPTC public transport authority and ZF have been linked by a strategic partnership for years regarding the establishment and expansion of the low-floor bus fleet," said ZF CV Axle Systems business unit head, Andreas Moser.
Since 2004, BPTC has promoted the expansion of the municipal passenger transport system and is increasingly relying on low-floor buses.
Today, BPTC operates more than 28,000 buses across a distance of around 187,000 kilometres.
ZF has provided the Beijing bus fleet with around 15 000 axles and 800 automatic transmissions - excluding the recent major order. In addition, ZF Lenksysteme has supplied 18,000 Servocom steering systems.

The Proposal takes its title from the nineteenth century lithographic illustration over which Schwitters pasted sections of a magazine advertisement. The high colour of the advertisement is set against the monochrome of the print. A conflict between a brash contemporary society and nineteenth-century restraint seems to be suggested. In other similar works Schwitters makes it clear that the contemporary vision being referred to is modern America. Knowing that Schwitters was an exile in wartime London when he conceived this image of prosperity makes it all the more poignant.

Information Power Grid (IPG) is the name of NASA's project to build a fully distributed computing and data management environment-a Grid. The IPG project has near, medium, and long-term goals that represent a continuum of engineering, development, and research topics. The overall goal is to provide the NASA scientific and engineering communities a substantial increase in their ability to solve problems that depend on use of large-scale and/or dispersed resources: aggregated computing, diverse data archives, laboratory instruments and engineering test facilities, and human collaborators. The approach involves infrastructure and services than can locate, aggregate, integrate, and manage resources from across the NASA enterprise. An important aspect of IPG is to produce a common view of these resources, and at the same time provide for distributed management and local control. In addition to addressing the overall goal of enhanced science and engineering, there is a potential important side effect. With a large collection of resources that have common use interfaces and a common management approach, the potential exists for a considerable pool of computing capability that could relatively easily, for example, be called on in extraordinary situations such as crisis response

Interested in working on campus? Love leadership?
Working with Foundations in Leadership might be a good fit for you.
Register online!
Courses are scheduled based on your schedule! Let us know when you are available, and once enough students are available at the same time, we will open a class!
Leadership Programs
The Foundations In Leadership Series is designed to give students, like you, increased self-awareness and many of the basic skills used by effective leaders. With the completion of each level, you'll add to your reservoir of leadership tools and enhance your competence when assuming leadership positions.
The series is offered as a Practicum (workshop) because we believe that skills acquisition becomes more valuable with practice and feedback. Throughout the Practicum, you'll learn by doing in a supportive environment, where the goal is to turn theory into practical applications.
Upcoming Courses
We are committed to making our programming as accessible as possible. We run classes based on your schedule! Simply register for a level, provide us with your availability and once enough students have availability at the same time, we will open up a course.
Each level costs $45. For more information about each of the Foundations Levels, please visit How the Practicum Works
