It is not just federal laws that must be considered.
As I noted up-thread, air guns are considered firearms in NJ.
It is not just federal laws that must be considered.
Each state also defines what a firearm is. In NJ air-guns, (compressed air, co2), are considered firearms. Purchasers must go through the same permitting process as firearms owners do.
But at least you won't put your eye out with it.
But for the love of Darwin, NOT SYFY
Actually, you make sense. In my other post I said we should hold the shooters accountable, but I failed to consider the 'unintended consequences" of that, which was dumb as I usually try to.
Bad example.
You do have the right to yell "fire" in a crowded theater. But if you are wrong, you will be held liable.
You also do not have your right to speech preemptively oppressed by requiring a license to speak before you speak, or have your background checked or neighbors interviewed before you speak, as occurs with people purchasing firearms.
Taking "shouting fire in a theater" analogy further, it would require everyone to have a federal background check and a state license before operating a printing press, or speaking in public at all, just in case they might print or say something wrongful or injurious.
Holding people accountable for their wrongful or injurious behavior is one thing. Assuming they will engage in wrongful or injurious behavior before hand is another. I did not see screams of outrage demanding pre-licensing for speech after Al Sharpton destroyed a man over the Tawanna Brawley incident. Or the Richard Jewel story. Or Ray Donovan. Or any number of people falsely accused and maligned in the press or public in general.
We should blame the construction industry?
Ban home remodeling?
The shooters tried to put the fire out and called 911. They acted fairly responsibly, though with some forethought they would have taken some preventative measures to prevent sparks.
Sometimes stuff happens. Using it to promote your particular social engineering agenda is bullcrap.
As another poster said, hold the shooters responsible for this. If there are not already laws in place that do so, there can be fairly quickly.
Fine. What about people without Exchange?
I need to sync my personal outlook with my personal phone. I need to do it without a third party involved.
Why? Because I use my personal phone for work. I do not want my corporate information filtered through someone else server, (iOS, Android), and I do not want my personal information filtered through my employers server, (Exchange, Blackberry).
My employer would not be happy if meeting notices about the back-end system I might be working on for the major new service offering were to show up on Google servers, or anywhere else. And I sure know my employer has no business knowing what I do evenings or weekends. (my employer is a very large company in a very competitive sector)
Currently, my Symbian phone, as well as old win6.5(?) phones can synch with Outlook on my PC over Bluetooth, (also cable and infrared if I prefer). No third party server needed. They both do this without any manual intervention. As soon as I walk within range, my phone connects to my laptop and syncs directly with it, without a third party server involved*. The last I checked, iOS, Android and Win7/8 require use of a third party server, and in the case of ios and android they do not sync everything in outlook.
Why would Google, Apple and Microsoft all take away existing functionality and now require that this information be sent through a third party server? I suspect the question answers itself.
*(This is using the last version of Nokia's PC Suite, as even the replacement tools OVI and Nokia Suite have removed some of the original functionality, like one way sync)
I use an artificial rain storm I downloaded a few years ago from http://simplynoise.com/ . I see they have a new version.
I use headphones in the office. They have developers mixed in with everyone else, phone reps, managers, everyone but sales staff. So it can get very noisy.
I tried white noise, pink noise and brown noise, (which they also have), but all hurt my ears after a while, when using headphones. I find the artificial rainstorm does not. I put it in a repeating loop and it takes care of suppressing office noise. this is especially effective when combined with noise cancelling headphones.
I find music too distracting, whether rock, classical or something else, like Phillip Glass, Sigur Ros, etc. People do not believe me when they ask what I am bouncing around to in my chair and I say Naqoyqatsi or Edgar Meyer. But the rainstorm does not distract and does allow me to concentrate.
I currently work for a company that has instituted an incredibly restrictive development methodology they bought from a big consulting firm. It requires multiple forms be filled out for every program written, every requirement for every program written, every request for every change to every program or application written. All of these reviewed by coworkers who are not about to alienate team members, and reviewed by lower management who want to look good to upper management by having everything go smoothly.
These documents are then stored on the LAN. To never, or rarely ever, be read again.
The one thing it does not enforce or require, is meaningful documentation in the code itself.
It doubles, or more, the time it takes to do everything. But it does nothing to stop the mistakes any better than the procedures that went before. If anything, it finds less errors, because we were not given more time to do this double or more amount of work. So time is so compressed, we do not have time to do anything other than get it working and get it in.
One thing it does do very well, is prevent problems from getting fixed. The only people that will start a change effort are those that notice a problem and are affected by it enough to have it cause them problems. Otherwise no one wants to go through the bureaucracy to kick off any sort of change effort, which leaves a lot of ticking time-bombs in the infrastructure configurations, application designs and application code.
The only place documentation is good, is if it is meaningful, and in the code, where it is readily findable and far less likely to get lost, short of some fool deleting it.
Documentation located anywhere else will be lost, or obsolete many more times than not, before you ever really need it.
If anything, documentation in code should be reviewed by people with absolutely no connection to the application it is for. If it is good enough for them to figure out an understand what is being done, and more importantly why it is being done, only then is it worth anything more than the bytes is written with in storage.
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them WHAT to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. -- Gen. George S. Patton, Jr.

U.S. Rep. Kathy Hochul (D-Buffalo, inset) may not be from around here, but she knows better than to park on the street without paying a Muni-meter. Andrew Cuomo's choice for new lieutenant governor was in Queens on Friday, touring local businesses. As she left the first stop, with an entourage of local electeds (including Councilman Rory Lancman and Assemblymembers Nily Rozic and Mike Simanowicz), a meter maid asked the group if a car he was about to ticket belonged to anyone in the group. Hochul's answer as she wandered away? "I'm not that stupid."

After the big bet how long should I PIG OUT?
Well, I have 11 days left on a 3 month bet and I am kicking a*#...
I've lost 30 pounds so far...but I am wondering if I should take a week off or a day or what after it is all over
- I want to reward myself for this nightmare I am putting myself through, and I already have my post bet plan to be healthy again...but I don't know whether to eat my favorite "bad foods" (e.g. double whopper w/ cheese + fries) for a day or a week what?
How long should my big rewarding break be ? ?
Wed. Apr 23, 4:27pm
I say pig out for a day, you probably won't be able to stomach more than that after being so good. But try to find a way to reward yourself that doesn't involve food too. Maybe something you've wanted to buy.
Wednesday, April 23, 2008, 4:48 PM
well you are probably going to have some serious digestion issues if you have been healthy for a few months -
I would go for 1 day indulge in breakfast - then eat a healthy lunch and dinner.
The next day indulge in lunch, but have a healthy bfast and dinner
and then the third day treat yourself to dinner, bfast and lunch healthy.
This way you are still keeping yourself somewhat on track, you get to enjoy your reward for 3 days, and you arent going to shock your system as much.
Wednesday, April 23, 2008, 4:54 PM
OP--can I ask what you've been doing to lose so much weight in a short period of time? I am starting to feel hopeless! I work out three to four times a week and watch my calories and the scale still isn't moving! I've been doing this for months!
Wednesday, April 23, 2008, 4:57 PM
Great idea 4:54! That way you can stay on track and indulge at the same time.
I know that the longer I stray from my healthy eating the harder it is to reign myself back in. If I ate "bad foods" for a week it would take me another week after that to get back into the habit of healthy eating.
Wednesday, April 23, 2008, 4:58 PM
30 lbs in 3 months, and planning the mother of all binges weeks in advance as a "reward". Have you learned NOTHING??
Wednesday, April 23, 2008, 4:59 PM
ha ha thanks y'all...
no I am not going to have the "mother of all binges" - I like 4:54's plan...
and I guess three days really is the most I should do with at least a few healthy meals in there...
4:47 - I did a really cool four phase plan I made up that slowly increased my cardio and decreased weights and slowly dropped my calorie intake. So then I continued to lose weight... it has been really hard though, I think people who say you dan't have to be hungry to lose weight are just lying to sell you something, I have been a little hungry most of the time...but I will go back to a more normal level after I take my short break.
Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it...
Wednesday, April 23, 2008, 5:18 PM
I disagree OP, you really don't have to be hungry all the time to lose weight, it depends on the time of month. lol
Wednesday, April 23, 2008, 10:16 PM
I just have to agree with the poster who said you probably won't feel well.
I have been doing this new life style for almost a year and take a once a month day off. So I can have those foods that I still crave. And mostly so I don't feel deprived. But when I do I get so sick. My system doesn't like greasy foods. It likes veggies. Mostly. So be prepared for cramping and possible extra time in the bathroom.
And on the hunger issue, try more veggies. The only time I am ever hungry is if I am away from home so I can't get to something healthy.
Roasted veggies, soups, adding chopped sauted veggies in with your meats.. Veggies are a great filler.
Congratulations on how well you have done.
Wednesday, April 23, 2008, 10:34 PM
thanks ...10:16 I am a guy so lol is right ;)
I will be careful and not go too crazy after the bet I hear the great advice about feeling gross! That is really what I needed !
plus, i want too keep up the good rhythm I have got now too
I know you don't have to be really hungry all the time, but I do feel like a little hunger throughout the day is okay, like having a little headache or arthritis or a small backache or something. You really get used to it and it becomes normal to you...
Thursday, April 24, 2008, 10:23 AM
Well one thing is you should feel hungry. I realized after I lost the weight that wow it's amazing about 11:30 I start to feel hungry like my body is telling me it needs food. It's an amazing concept not to eat because the clock tells you too but because your body is telling you to. I think many people in America never feel hungry because they are constantly overfull.
Thursday, April 24, 2008, 11:23 AM
definitely agree with the previous poster.
i've been experiencing this too with the more weight I lose.
Thursday, April 24, 2008, 1:50 PM
11:23 and 1:50
...I do a little better with the hunger by eating snacks only at 6,8,10,12,2,4 and dinner at 6 - this way my stomach stays small and the hunger is not as bad...
Thursday, April 24, 2008, 5:17 PM
mmind sharing your plan op?
Friday, April 25, 2008, 5:13 AM
5:13 - it is a little complicated - I've asked PT if I can Blog it...
Friday, April 25, 2008, 11:16 AM
I would LOVE to read your blog! Sounds like you've put alot of hard work into it and determination.
I think have one or two great meals, and reward yourself with sexy clothes rather than food. that always throws me off track for a long time when i do that.
Friday, April 25, 2008, 12:15 PM
OP has learned nothing...
if you are still looking to reward yourself with food, you have only skimmed the surface of your weight issues. Restricting yourself for a while and then binging can lead to binge eating on a regular basis. As one of my favorite team members said "This is not a nutrition vacation - this is a lifestyle!"
Indulging in a few favorites here or there is fine - as long as they are balanced out. But planning a binge and then for a period of time is dangerous. I really hope you learn to make long-term, permanent changes and that this is a constant learning journey. Not just a break.
Friday, April 25, 2008, 1:56 PM
learning ZERO ?
Ha Ha 1:56 - that is a little harsh don't you think ? ?
I HAVE made "permanent" changes - THREE months is a long time and before that I had been working on being healthier for a while too.
I have not only changed my usual daily habits but really attacked my biggest weaknesses (weekends, social eating, house-sitting, eating out) and been quite sucessful. But I am a guy at 170 lbs and eating 1200 calories +/- for three months has been really hard and I think I deserve a little break. Just like I will take from my 10 hour a week intense workout regimen.
I look forward to starting up again with my great new habits after just a few days (just a little less drasticly than before)
If I want a couple of truly awesome cheat meals after all that I think that is just fine... don't worry, I will get back on the horse again pretty quickly.
I can almost taste the Fluffernutter !

To dream of an orphan represents worries of desertion and feelings of solitude and rejection.
A dream of yourself consoling orphans shows your sympathy for sadness experience by others. This will move you to sacrifice personal pleasures in order to extend assistance to those in need.
To dream of a possum foretells that things are not what they seem to be. You need to scratch below the surface to find what's hidden from view.
To dream that you or another person is being beheaded is an indication of regrettable decision-making.
To dream about a burial means that you have banished bad attitudes or behaviors and escaped from some negative condition. If you dream that you are burying someone alive, it is a sign of mental anguish.
To dream of a cherub symbolizes the pure, vulnerable, and fun-loving aspects of your personality. You should lighten up and be more optimistic. It may also mean that you have been taking advantage of someone or are being insincere and deceitful.

Final: Angels 7, White Sox 5
The Angels have a winning streak -- or, what amounts to a winning streak in this disappointing season.
The Angels' 7-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field on Friday night was their second in a row. It's the first time they've won back-to-back games since they swept a three-game series from the Detroit Tigers on April 19-21. They had not won consecutive road games all season.
Each of their last two victories has been secured by the offense on nights when the starting pitching was shaky, which is the type of safety net the Angels envisioned when they assembled this starting staff.
Barry Enright, who got the ball Friday, was not part of the plan at all. He got a last-minute call in place of Tommy Hanson, who was placed on the restricted list to deal with the aftermath of his stepbrother's death last month.
Enright got through three innings without much trouble, but he couldn't get out of the fourth. He was charged with five runs in 3 2/3 innings.
The offense and the bullpen took care of the rest, though.
While Angels relievers Mark Lowe, Micahel Kohn, Dane De La Rosa and Ernesto Frieri collaborated on the final 16 outs. De La Rosa pitched two perfect innings immediately after the Angels took the lead.
Offensively, the Angels put up four runs in the third, two on Albert Pujols' double. Brendan Harris homered in the fourth.
The game was tied 5-5 before the Angels scored two runs in the seventh, one on Mike Trout's RBI single and one on a passed ball.

City Council To Set Special Election Date
Wednesday, August 28, 2013
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The City Council is scheduled today to set a special election to fill the post of outgoing Mayor Bob Filner, whose resignation becomes official at 5 p.m. Friday.
Special Feature Read the Backstory
All of the accusations, statements and apologies from the key players in the developing story about allegations of sexual harassment in Mayor Bob Filner's office and calls from former mayoral supporters for his resignation.
The City Clerk's Office has proposed scheduling the vote for Nov. 19. If approved, candidates would have to file by Sept. 20.
The council's special meeting comes one day after a lawyer for the third woman to bring legal action against the city of San Diego demanded $250,000 for his client.
Attorney Daniel Gilleon told City News Service that his client, whom he identified only as Marilyn, accuses the mayor of kissing her at a May event at Johnson Elementary School in Emerald Hills. He said she had asked the mayor to send archival material to a May event at Johnson Elementary in Emerald Hills, but he showed up instead.
According to the lawyer, his client poked her head in a classroom when Filner arrived to announce his presence, and the encounter took place when she returned.
"He grabs her face and plants a kiss on her forehead,'' according to Gilleon, who said his client was "in shock.''
Filner also demanded her last name and took too long trying to remove an adhesive name tag from her chest, according to the lawyer, who said the mayor also put his hand around her waist and tried to walk her away.
Parts of the incident were witnessed by another woman and a boy looking out the window, according to Gilleon. He said a member of the mayor's security detail was there at the time.
The city's response to the demand will determine whether he files a lawsuit on behalf of the woman, a 34-year employee of the state who is a secretary to a workers' compensation judge. She also serves as an advocate for domestic violence victims in the South Bay, he said.
Gilleon also represents Stacy McKenzie, the district manager for city-run Mission Bay Park, on whose behalf he filed a $500,000 claim on Monday.
McKenzie, 50, first went public with her accusations on Aug. 8, alleging Filner asked her for a date and placed her in a headlock at a city function at Mission Bay on April 21. She said he also grabbed her wrists so she was unable to move.
McKenzie's claim says the mayor acted "for his own sexual gratification.'' It also accuses the city of failing to warn employees of Filner's "predatory nature'' and protect them from it.
Gilleon said he is asking for more money for McKenzie than Marilyn because McKenzie is a municipal employee.
The city can choose to accept or deny the women's claims. If the claims are denied, the woman may file a lawsuit.
The city has already been sued by Irene McCormack Jackson, Filner's former communications director, who alleges Filner told her she should work without panties on, that he wanted to see her naked and could not wait to consummate their relationship.
McCormack Jackson -- the first of the 19 women to come forward -- also alleges Filner put his arm around her and dragged her along in a headlock while making sexual remarks. It was mediation over her lawsuit that led the 70-year- old former Democratic congressman to resign after less than nine months in office. He officially step down at 5 p.m. Friday.
Eight candidates have expressed their intention to run in the special election, including ex-Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher. Now an executive with Qualcomm, he finished third in the June 2012 mayoral primary.
Other candidates who have filed intention forms are Paul Michael Dekker, who, according to his website, is director of information technology at the San Diego-based nonprofit Global Energy Network Institute; Jared Mimms, who says on his LinkedIn page that he has founded or co-founded four companies; psychiatrist Ashok Parameswaran; website owner Tobiah Pettus; Kurt Schwab, who founded an organization for veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq; Mark Schwartz, a Libertarian activist who created a Facebook page for his campaign last month; and David Tasem, who operates a taxicab business.
The council will also take a look at amending the city's law on recall elections.
A state requirement that a voter had to answer whether an officeholder should be recalled before their selection of a replacement candidate is counted was struck down as unconstitutional by a federal judge 10 years ago. San Diego's section on recalls includes similar language and was never updated.
City Attorney Jan Goldsmith said the municipal law is currently unconstitutional. Some observers said Filner could have used that fact as a loophole to get a recall against him overturned had he tried to remain in office.

Mayor Bob Filner served as a witness on behalf of an activist for seals at the Children's Pool in La Jolla, criticizing his own police department for citing the defendant and the city attorney's office for prosecuting him. And that was BEFORE he'd been lynched.
Democratic National Committee voted unanimously by voice w/o discussion to demand he resign (should former 10-term Democratic Congressman Bob Filner not resign the mayoralty, measures to rid his noxious presence included bonding w/ Glenn Beck & His Rancho Santa Fe Hooters). My father drove Eleanor Roosevelt to a $100-a-plate fundraiser at the El Cortez. She stopped by to use the facilities. She placed her hand on my head -- sealing me in the Tribe of the Old Shoe forever. In Dec. '61, I saw Martin Luther King Jr. at Santa Monica Civic. I stood in the aisle, and he shook my hand. In '08 I was pledged to Hillary. I couldn't understand why my fellow Unitarians were being shy. Then I found out that Maya Soetoro-Ng, who sang in the choir w/ husband Konrad, had received her early religious education upstairs w' her half brother Barry. I sent Hillary $20 for her 8 primary victories after Madam Pelosi said it was all over. If the DNC wanted to help Hillary by lynching Bob Filner, they've failed. I much prefer the "bull in the swelter of summer/ come in his great, good time To the sultry, biding herd" over the lynch mob (DNC) approach.
twells | August 28, 2013 at 10:57 a.m. ― 3 years, 6 months ago
A lynching usually result in a man (often black) hanging from a tree .. Bob Filner was not lynched. He did this to himself, and to to others unwilling to have him put his hands on them.
MarineRoom | August 28, 2013 at 11:54 p.m. ― 3 years, 6 months ago
No evidence was ever brought forward that those charges were true. Lynching is a word that can be used as a metaphor as, for example, when Clarence Thomas described the criticisms he received in the press as a lynching.
MarineRoom | August 28, 2013 at 11:57 p.m. ― 3 years, 6 months ago
Sufficient into the day...
Wonderful story about Eleanor Roosevelt. And I agree about the DNC. However, I never did send them much money so I doubt that my financial boycott will mean anything to them.
Are you voting for mayor, or sitting it out?

League says Dodgers are "team to beat"
October 31st, 2012, 1:30 pm by BILL PLUNKETT, OCREGISTER.COMMaybe it's the costume talking (he's going "Gangnam style" for Halloween with his three young children) -- or maybe it's the afterglow of signing a new contract -- but the Dodgers' newly re-signed closer Brandon League said his team will be "the team to beat" in 2013.
League made those comments Wednesday morning as San Francisco was preparing its second parade in the past three years to celebrate a World Series title for the Giants.
"The Giants had a great year. They won the games they needed to win," League said Wednesday during a conference call with reporters to discuss the three-year, $22.5 million contract he agreed to with the Dodgers on Tuesday. "I think in 2013 the LA Dodgers are going to be the team everyone wants to beat, tries to beat. ... We're going to have a target on our back next year and we welcome it."
League made a quick decision to re-sign with the Dodgers despite the fact that he would have been one of the top closers in what Dodgers GM Ned Colletti described generously as "not a robust (free-agent) market" for quality relievers.
"Who knows what it would have been like if I tested the market?" said League, a Hawaii native who now lives in the San Diego area. "I didn't feel the need to test the market when the Dodgers were No. 1 on my list. To have the opportunity to get something done with them, it didn't make sense to test the market."

It was under the low ceilings of Beebe High home court where Adams learned to flatten the trajectory of his shot, becoming one of the early pioneers of the jump shot.[1]
Adams then went to the University of Arkansas on a basketball scholarship. He lettered from 1938 to 1941 and led the Razorbacks to the 1941 NCAA Final Four, where they fell to the Washington State Cougars. Adams was the leading scorer in the tournament, netting 48 points in two games. Adams was the first Razorback to score 30+ points in a single game. He was a two-time all Southwest Conference pick and a Consensus first team All-American in 1941.
After his collegiate career ended, Adams played for the Phillips 66ers in the AAU. He was named to the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1979. He died of cancer three months later.

First lady Michelle Obama and Pentagon officials announced the effort Thursday during a visit to Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas, where the military has been experimenting with ways to improve the quality and variety of foods served on base. The first lady toured a gleaming cafeteria line, then announced the program in a dining hall filled with service members whose plates were overflowing with salad greens, broccoli and whole grains.
"You all look really good, really fit," she told the airmen. "Thank you for eating your vegetables. We need you strong."
She encouraged healthy habits during a visit with individual airmen at their tables.
"Don't worry, you'll be a vegetable guy soon," she reassured one airman.
She stressed that it's not just about giving members of the armed services a more svelte profile: There are big national security and budget implications.
About a quarter of entry-level candidates for the military are too overweight to serve or to make it through their first enlistment, according to the Pentagon. And the Defense Department spends $1.1 billion a year on medical care related to excess weight and obesity.
Under the Military Health System's new obesity and nutrition awareness campaign, more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and lower-fat entries will be coming to the 1,100 service member dining halls across the United States in coming months. Healthier choices will be turning up in base schools, vending machines and snack bars, too, affecting more than 1.5 million service members.
Mrs. Obama, who has been leading a campaign against childhood obesity, said the military effort would send a message to the whole nation.
"When you make healthy eating a priority in your lives, the rest of us are more likely to make it a priority in our lives," she told the airmen.
The first lady was visiting Little Rock as part of a three-day national tour marking the second anniversary of her "Let's Move" campaign. She made a stop earlier in the day in Des Moines, Iowa to meet with an arena full of schoolchildren at a pep rally for healthy eating and exercise.
Under the new program, each of the armed services will be asked to update menu standards for the first time in two decades and to ensure that healthier food choices are available.
"We are intent on focusing on preventable illnesses to help our people stay out of our clinics and hospitals by improving their physical condition," said Dr. Jonathan Woodson, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs.
He said surveys in the mid-1990s found that about 1 out of 50 members of the armed services had weight problems. By about 2005, the figure was 1 in 20 service members.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Pacific Crest analyst Michael Bowen this morning launched coverage of the wireless tower stocks with Outperform ratings on Crown Castle, American Tower and SBA Communications.
"Towers are defensive, non-cyclical stocks," he writes. "We believe the outlook for the U.S. wireless sector is relatively healthy and that the industry tends to be non-cyclical. Tower companies' revenue is tied to long-term guaranteed contracts with carriers that include built-in price escalators. In addition, barriers to entry in the tower sector are high."
Bowen is bullish on the tower companies' business model. "In addition to the long-term contracts and prohibitive barriers to entry, we believe that low fixed costs and minimal incremental capital investments mean that incremental revenue to existing towers carries very high incremental margin," he writes. "Furthermore, we believe that capital returns on new tower construction are attractive and improve as tenants are added."
He says that despite slowing U.S. wireless data growth, "continued data traffic growth and 4G network rollouts continue to drive growth. The tower companies benefit as their carrier customers add new sites to deal with data traffic growth and add equipment to existing sites to upgrade networks with 4G capabilities." In the long run, he says that "the opportunities for continued strong revenue growth lie in data traffic growth and carriers' need to add sites for capacity."
As noted, Bowen likes all three of the major players:
- SBA Communications: "SBA has delivered solid returns from its strategy of growth via acquisition. We see opportunities for recent acquisitions to deliver growth. Furthermore, we see SBA as set todisproportionately benefit from near-term organic growth opportunities given its relatively underutilized towers."
- American Tower: "International diversification positions American Tower for strong long-term growth ... We see domestic strength as driving upside to 2013 estimates and international assets as potentially driving upside to longer-term growth estimates."
- Crown Castle: "Domestic strength should drive near-term upside ... Crown Castle is the largest domestic tower operator, and, in our view, the best-positioned to benefit from the flurry of 4G upgrade activity among U.S. carriers in 2013."

Learn More about the Santander Arena & Santander Performing Arts Center!
The Santander Arena, formerly known as the Sovereign Center, is managed by SMG and first opened its doors in September of 2001. Since then, it has hosted over 2200 shows in a wide range of genres. The arena, which seats up to 8800 for concerts and 7200 for hockey, is home to the Reading Royals of the ECHL.
Besides sporting events, the Santander Arena has hosted hundreds of concerts and other forms of entertainment targeted to all age ranges. A few of the previous performers have included Neil Diamond, Carrie Underwood, Slipknot, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Godsmack, Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Matchbox Twenty, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, WWE, Winter Jam, Elton John, Mötley Crüe, Rod Stewart, Sting, Kid Rock, multiple Disney on Ice shows, Wu-Tang Clan, Shinedown, Professional Bull Riding, and many others.
The Santander Performing Arts Center was built in the 1870s as a market, with a Masonic Temple on its upper floors. It became the Academy of Music in 1886. The Rajah Shriners purchased it in 1917 to use the building for various activities including vaudeville, motion pictures, and live appearances. The auditorium was rebuilt in 1921 after a fire destroyed most of the facility. At the turn of the 21st Century, the Rajah Theater was the only downtown movie palace of its kind to survive. Its sister palaces, the Astor, Embassy and Lowe's Colonial, had all been demolished.
Today, the Santander Performing Arts Center is home to the Reading Symphony Orchestra and the Broadway on 6th Street series. It has also hosted numerous different events. Willie Nelson, Alice in Chains Jerry Seinfeld, David Copperfield, Melissa Etheridge, Daughtry and Mannheim Steamroller are just a few of the shows that have been seen at the theater.

Venus Theatre
204 N. Main Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Princess Theatre was opened April 1, 1909. In January 1915 it was renamed Paramount Theatre. It was purchased in 1927-28 from F. S. Ferguson. Lease was undermined in 1931 by Jefferson amusement. Theatre reacquired by Frels Theatres in 1952, from Pete Stoilis. Operated as Mexican theatre in competition with the Victoria Theatre, which then changed to a third run house. Theatre was renamed Venus Theatre at this time. Theatre burned to the ground on Nov. 11, 1960. Tomasita (cat), a famous resident of downtown Victoria, survived this fire. Still an empty lot near the downtown square in Victoria.

The Wonder Rooms and Palace hotels had their day in court again on Wednesday June 13th. A court-ordered sale was supposed to approve or refuse a bid to buy the buildings by notorious gentrifier Stephen Lippman. But on Tuesday, less than 24 hour before the court date, Lippman's offer stalled, and then failed. The Wonder and Palace hotels have been saved from the clutches of an investor who has a record of raising rents and bringing in a higher income group of renters… but the 72 rooms are not safe, healthy, or secure yet.

And what did Malayala Manorama do?
Guess you are new here!Why don't you subscribe to this blog?Free for a limited period!RSS feed. (Ya,Right!!!) I tweet too Twitter
There was a tweetup with Dr. Shashi Tharoor a few days back. Manuscrypts wrote about the event. Chupchap followed. That leaved me with nothing much to talk about.
No, you got that wrong. Part of my question to Dr. Tharoor (How difficult is it to work with the Left govt. in bringing development to Trivandrum and is this why Chandran Tharoor Foundation does work that could have been done under the MPLADS?) found a mention in Malayala Manorama, Bangalore ed. dated 7th Nov '09. Yes, the report did mention my name, though partially. So, if you can read Malayalam, here it is for you.
Believe me, the Nikhil mentioned is me.

The Pioneer Zephyr is an electric train that uses a diesel electric engine to generate the power needed to run the train.
The engine crankshaft extends into the generator, where it is wrapped with coils of conducting wire and is surrounded by a stationary magnetic field. A DC electric current is produced in the coil as the shaft rotates in the magnetic field. The electricity runs motors that turn the wheels, setting the train in motion.
For more information about the Pioneer Zephyr, visit the Museum of Science and Industry.

They allege he ran a red light and he was pulled over near the intersection of 5th and Colorado streets, located in the heart of Austin's night life district, said police spokeswoman Veneza Aguinaga. Authorities said an officer smelled alcohol on Benson's breath and then conducted a field sobriety test, which included having the driver perform a walk and turn test and to stand on one leg, she said.Pfft. Like Benson doesn't fall down prematurely when he's sober, too.

The hell with it now. Once dude gets suspended and subsequently released, he can go on the bender to end all benders. I believe they call those Downeys.

...to Deliver Comprehensive Network Security to School System
ATLANTA--Sept. 15, 2005--Securiant, Inc., the Atlanta-based integrated network security solutions provider, today announced Atlanta Public Schools has selected Securiant, Inc. to deliver its Spider Integrated Security Appliance (SpiderISA), a comprehensive integrated security solution to protect the school system's network infrastructure.
Atlanta Public Schools is comprised of a total of 89 schools and 10 administrative offices located throughout Fulton, Dekalb, Clayton and Cobb counties. Supporting 51,000 students, faculty and administrators in multiple organizations, Atlanta Public Schools was faced with building a multi-layered security infrastructure to protect the schools' network infrastructure while also addressing CIPA and other governance requirements.
"As a large school system, we must have a secure network infrastructure to provide safe technology tools for the students and faculty to be successful in the education process," said Atlanta Public Schools CIO, Jerome Oberlton. "Securiant provides a single end-to-end solution that not only solved our immediate security issues but also provides a long-term security infrastructure that addresses both technical and governance requirements."
"Once Securiant's SpiderISA was installed, within hours we were able to have greater visibility and control over our network and we can now proactively detect and stop malicious activity before it becomes a major issue and impacts our users," Oberlton added.
The SpiderISA provides the most comprehensive integrated solution for network security, combining 10 powerful features in a single platform that is affordable, reliable, easy to install and simple to use. One single security platform provides vulnerability monitoring, IDS/IPS, SPAM/AV filtering, content filtering, behavioral anomaly detection, network traffic monitoring and integrated reporting. Customers can simplify and consolidate security functions by using a single management console, single vendor, single training source and simple pricing structure not tied to the number of users or number of features utilized.
"At Securiant we take a consultative approach to our customer's issues using our Network Security Analysis, Forensics & Engineering (NetowrkSAFE)(TM) methodology to quickly assess, document, isolate and eliminate the network issues," said Richard JB Campbell, President and CEO of Securiant, Inc. "The SpiderISA was designed on the same methodology and it empowers network engineers to take a simple approach to tackling very complex security challenges, have more control over their network and be proactive with combating security threats."

- - tetra with a white upper lip?
tetra with a white upper lip? 2 Attachment(s) I just noticed earlier today that one of my Colombian tetras has a white upper lip? Can someone tell what it is please? Got some pics but they are not the best since the little guy kept hidng in the plants sorry. |
(posting mainly to subscribe to topic) My Lemon Tetras sometimes have this same kind of white on their upper lip. I don't know if it is directly harmful or not, but I would love some more info on this "marking". Hopefully some experts will swing by and diagnose that. |
Just to add a little more here are my water parameters ph=7.4 ammionia=.25 GH=9 KH=8 nitrite =0 nitrate =5 temp=77° |
I think this could be mouth fungus or Columnaris, I've never treated it before but if it is it's extremely contagious, it is a bacterial infection. It should be treated immediately if possible. Maracyn is one of the treatments I know about. But if you feel uncomfortable because I'm not exactly sure (only about 97%) wait for someone else to respond. In the later stages the fins clamp down and start to rot. |
Ooh that's nice umm not much I can do now as I just saw the post and I am at work Soo are they both contagious? |
I don't know. It seems that all of our fish are fine right now. The first time I had a tetra with this, I moved it to a small QT, and it got so stressed, it didn't eat. I had to put the poor guy down. The next time I had a tetra that got this (or what looked like this at least), I treated the tank endlessly for a long time and I probably killed the fish with meds. Tetra a very sensitive to fish meds. Now I have my tetra that shows these symtoms, and it hasn't spread (not saying it wont), and it has eaten Ok for the past few weeks. I am not saying that this isn't a problem, I am just saying that I think we need to get a better idea of what this is before we try to treat it. I doubt that it is "mouth fungus" (which is a good guess, but that could be any number of diesases with similar symtoms), and I really doubt it is Columnaris due to it's incredibally fast spread, and it's quick deaths. Let's hang tight for a minute. A big enough, good water quality QT for the fish showing these symtoms is probably the best option for now. Otherwise, it may not be a good idea to treat sensitive tetra, or make a diagnosis just yet. (edit: I just posted right after boredomb, so I didn't see the reply. Yes boredomb, Columnaris and most strands of "Mouth Fungus" are highly contagious, but like I said, I don't kow if that is what our fish have or not.) |
If you don't have another suitable sized tank already setup and cycled, I would just leave the fish where it is at. If you do find out for sure that this diesase is deadly and contagious, you may have to take more serious measures. Hopefully it wont come to that.:-( |

WASHINGTON — Herman Cain's repeated attempts to brush aside sexual harassment charges are faltering and his once high-flying presidential campaign is likely to suffer, according to neutral Republicans.
Cain had managed to tread water for more than a week after news reports first surfaced of two anonymous charges of sexual harassment made when he led the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s. But when Sharon Bialek went public Monday to say he'd once groped her, the story started to seriously threaten Cain's public support.
"He was already slipping before these stories came out. This will accelerate his decline," Republican pollster Whit Ayres said.
"Now we see Cain supporters having pause," Iowa Republican analyst Craig Robinson added. "He can no longer laugh it up. This is serious, serious stuff."
"My sense is he's dropping like a rock," South Carolina Republican strategist J. David Woodard said.
In his latest attempt to stem the controversy, Cain scheduled a news conference for 5 p.m. EST Tuesday. His campaign also put out an aggressive statement titled "Who Is Sharon Bialek," detailing six lawsuits over financial matters in which she's been a defendant.
Cain has denied all allegations of sexual harassment, and his defenders are challenging the truthfulness of Bialek and her publicity-hungry attorney, Gloria Allred.
Late Monday, Cain issued a statement challenging the news media to find out whether Bialek had been paid to accuse him. Conservative talk radio and TV hosts also challenged the woman. On Fox News, Sean Hannity labeled the story "Anatomy of a Smear." Guest analyst Dick Morris charged repeatedly that Bialek was doing it for money.
Morris, caught in a 1996 scandal of his own with a call girl, offered no evidence that Bialek was paid. She's denied receiving any money.
Cain already was starting to suffer some erosion of support before the stories broke. Ayres said Cain's support — while still high — had dropped in some polls and in states such as Iowa in the week before.
"It was pretty clear he did not have the level of knowledge that we normally expect in the leader of the free world," Ayres said. "Republicans really liked the guy, saw him as a huge American success story. But very few Republicans could really, truly see him in the Oval Office."
Still, Cain was able to survive the first week of reports that the National Restaurant Association had paid to settle two cases of sexual harassment allegations made against him when he was the group's CEO, in large part because the charges were first leveled in the news media.
"It is the nature of conservatives and the tea party to be highly skeptical about the news media," conservative strategist Keith Appell said.
"This is typical media bias," said Jennifer Ennenbach, a spokeswoman for the St. Louis Tea Party. "They found this unknown woman who has come out of the woodwork with this story."
But Cain's responses for days were ham-handed, with changing details and contradictions. That served to keep the story alive in a media frenzy akin to the one earlier this year when former Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., was caught sending sexually suggestive photos of himself to women.
It also reflected the fact that Cain, a novice at presidential politics, has a small campaign staff, which also has scant experience.
Then Bialek put a face on the charges, and provided details for the developing story.
"Names, faces and especially contradictions are what give these stories legs," Appell said. "That has happened one too many times for the Cain campaign."
That Bialek was represented by the celebrity-seeking Allred could lead some Republicans to look skeptically at the accusation. "Some people wonder who's paying Gloria Allred," Appell said. "Although I do think Sharon Bialek was believable."
Potentially worse, Bialek and the anonymous earlier women reinforced one another. The first women refused to go public with their stories, but they did file their complaints at the time. Bialek never filed a complaint — she didn't work at the association at the time — but she did state her charge in public and in detail.
"The problem with these allegations from the start was, if someone comes forward and puts a face on it and can discuss details, it gets to be a really messy, messy story," said Robinson, the editor of The Iowa Republican website and a former political director of the Iowa Republican Party.

Most stylish New Yorkers: Lynn Dell Cohen
The owner of Off Broadway Boutique demonstrates her flair for the dramatic; we show you how to get her look.
Mon Nov 15 2010
Lynn Dell Cohen, 77, "Countess of Glamour" and owner of Off Broadway Boutique (boutiqueoffbroadway.com), Upper West Side
Her personal style: "Beautiful, glamorous and over the top!"
Her inspirations: "I am inspired by fashion everywhere—in the streets, theater, opera or restaurants. I love to look at Ari Seth Cohen's blog Advanced Style (advancedstyle.blogspot.com), where he showcases women of style and age."
Favorite store: "I must say that Off Broadway Boutique is absolutely hands down my favorite store in the whole city for the last 42 years. It has allowed me to travel around the world to scout for interesting new collections, and I am able to style and create clothing in realistic sizes in our studio design room. Takashimaya was my most favorite store. Unfortunately they just closed and I was very sad to find out. Dinosaur Designs is another gorgeous shop. All the pieces are resin jewelry from Australia. I also love Donna Karan New York and the Museum of Arts & Design store."
Her signature accessory: "My hats! Hats help you frame your face. When you wear a hat, you are the most noticed woman in the room."
Favorite designers: "Kenneth Jay Lane, Ronald Jackson and Jane Elissa (janeelissa.com), just to name a few. Ronald Jackson makes gorgeous hand-dyed vintage shirts and vibrant velvet scarves designed especially for Off Broadway Boutique. Jane Elissa creates collages on hats, scarves and jackets from pearls, paint, buttons and appliqus. I like their aesthetic because no two pieces are ever alike, so you know you are getting something that is truly one of a kind."
How she describes New York style: "The same as I would describe New York: the best of everything and the worst of everything. New York City is a fashion show and we should dress for the theater of our lives!"

Bacteria in the lungs cystic fibrosis05/23/2006 |
My son has cystic fibrosis and we just found out that he has grown alcaligenes, staff, and psuedomonus mucoid bacteria in his lungs, will this cause major damage and can he ever get rid of it? His doctor said that the alcaligenes has been rare in his time as a CF doctor.
Alcaligenes are found in various locations, including soil and aquatic environments, where one species, Alcaligenes denitrificans, has been known to inhibit the growth of certain types of algae. They may also be found in the respiratory tracts of cystic fibrosis patients, where they cause clinical symptoms of pulmonary disease.

The 2010 Claremont Evaluation Debate:
"Using Systems Theories to Improve Evaluation Practice: Promise and Pitfalls"
August 21, 2010
Systems theories have been put forth as one of the latest innovations to improve evaluation practice. What are they? How can they be used to improve evaluation practice? When should they be used? When should they be avoided? What are their limitations? Is systems thinking in evaluation the latest short lived fad or a legitimate breakthrough? The answers to these questions were discussed and debated head-to-head in Claremont on August 21, 2010.
The Promise of System Theories: Dr. Michael Quinn Patton and Dr. Bob Williams
The Pitfalls of System Theories: Dr. Michael Scriven and Dr. Stewart Donaldson
All in the evaluation community were invited to join Claremont Graduate University online or on campus in Southern California to witness the ongoing debate about the future of evaluation practice. This event was co-sponsored by Claremont Graduate University and the Southern California Evaluation Association.
Location: Ron D. Burkle Family Building, Room 16, 1021 North Dartmouth Ave, Claremont CA 91711.
