What is in this article?:
- Training, safety go hand in hand
- Code violations
Hydraulically-operated machines are powerful. Have you had enough training in hydraulics and safe practices to work on them without undue risk to yourself or those around you?
It has been reported that the absence of concrete reinforcement is the main reason why so many buildings collapsed during Haiti's tragic earthquake causing the needless deaths of tens of thousands of people. But if the earthquake had been less severe — and only one building fallen down — the prolific nature of the problem may have gone unnoticed.
The latter situation is similar to what is going on in the fluid power industry. Rarely do we see wide scale failure of entire systems that leads to injury or death. Rather, when accidents result in serious consequences, they are usually viewed as isolated incidents — unrelated to accidents occurring elsewhere.
But most of these accidents are related. The common thread is organizations that either produce inadequate safety requirements or none at all. But the problem is more serious than just a lack of safety instruction. Many people specifying components for fluid power systems or working on them lack the education or training to be qualified to do so. Consequently, they repeatedly engage in reckless and unsafe practices and don't even know it. Sometimes they are lucky that their actions don't produce catastrophic results. But if fate were to cause catastrophic results in a single day from all the unqualified people working on fluid power systems, the widespread catastrophe would certainly bring the matter to national attention. In a sense — and only to make a point — not enough people are getting injured or killed in a single incident for the issues to receive national attention.
These problems in the fluid power industry can be distilled down to:
- sub-standard engineering practices,
- sub-standard material specifications,
- sub-standard building practices,
- code violations, and
- poorly trained building workforce.
Not enough space exists in this issue to examine each of these problems in depth, so this discussion will focus on those directly affecting the maintenance, repair and overhaul sector.
Sub-standard engineering practices — Mechanical engineers undertake the vast majority of hydraulic system design. They take courses in a branch of hydraulics called fluid dynamics. However, knowledge of fluid dynamics alone does not make an engineer fully competent to design hydraulic systems, and it certainly doesn't aid engineers in designing safe hydraulic systems. The Fluid Power Safety Institute's slogan describes the issue of safety and engineering best: Fluid power safety doesn't just happen. It has to be pursued.
To my knowledge, no university in the US teaches engineers safe hydraulic design practices. We don't assume that engineering students have an innate knowledge of math, physics, chemistry, etc. If we did, why would students be required to take so many courses in these subjects. It seems as if the fluid power industry embraces the notion that people who design hydraulic systems do have the innate ability to design in safety because it's so hard to find any institution that teaches safety.
Sub-standard material specifications — It's highly unlikely a mechanical engineer will design a hydraulic system with sub-standard materials. However, the fluid power industry does not dictate who can and cannot design hydraulic systems. While many salespeople are mechanical engineers, non-engineers routinely assist clients with hydraulic system design or modification. This is invariably where the problem of sub-standard material specification rears its ugly head. Untrained personnel routinely specify components with marginal pressure and flow ratings.
Substandard building practices — The people who build hydraulic power units, construct vast plants, and assemble construction, agricultural and mining machinery are called assemblers. Like the hose and fitting industry, the vast majority of plant and machinery manufacturers don't teach their assembly line workers hydraulic safety or basic hydraulics. Ironically, the tasks assembly line workers do have a profound effect on the safety and reliability of the machines they build. Also, assembly line worker training has been proven to dramatically reduce a company's warranty claims.

Has any-one else on here got dry eyes since they started on PPIs?
I used to have some-what dry eyes, but since I have been on Nexium, about 2 years now, my eyes have gotten quite dry.
I used to be able to wear contact lenses reasonably comfortably, but now can't go for more than about 4 hours without my eyes looking very bloodshot.
It might be completely unrelated, but it would be interesting to find out.

SuperKombat World Grand Prix IV Results
- Written by Rian Scalia
Yesterday, SuperKombat held their final installment of their qualifying World Grand Prix series in Piatra Neamt, Romania. All four shows in the series have been in different Romanian cities, setting up the final World Grand Prix event in Darmstadt, Germany. The winners of each tournament of the World Grand Prix series face off in a one night, four man tournament at the SuperKombat World Grand Prix Final.
The two main names in the tournament, Wendell Roche and Erhan Deniz had little trouble dispatchnig their semi final opponents and met in the final. In what at times was a bit of a stinker, Deniz managed to get a decision victory over Roche. His kicks probably won him the fight, as he'd throw body kicks in succession that really looked great for the judges.
Bogdan Stoica returned after his injury suffered against Hakan Aksoy in July. He faced Leon Miedema and was in control of most of the fight, landing the much more significant offense, getting him a unanimous decision. The fight was at 92kg which is pretty high for Stoica to be fighting at. It leads me to believe he put on a bit of weight while he was injured and although he didn't look out of shape at all, he looked a tad softer than usual. I'd expect Stoica's next fight to be somewhere between 85 and 90kgs.
In other fights, Catalin Morosanu picked up a unanimous decision over late replacement Ibrahim Aarab and Sebastian Ciobanu picked up a split decision over Ali Cenik. Check out the full results below:
Reserve Fight: Jantje Siersema def. Lucian Danilencu by Split Decision in an Extra Round.
Semi Final 1: Erhan Deniz def. Angelis Konstantinos by KO (Punches) in Round 2.
Semi Final 2: Wendell Roche def. Marian Baryla by TKO (Low Kicks) in Round 3.
Bogdan Stoica def. Leon Miedema by Unanimous Decision.
Diogo Neves def. Ionut Atodiresei by Unanimous Decision.
Sebastian Ciobanu def. Ali Cenik by Split Decision.
Ionut Iftimoaie def. Luca Panto by Unanimous Decision.
Catalin Morosanu def. Ibrahim Aarab by Unanimous Decision.
Alexandru Lungu def. Bob Sapp by KO (Left Hook) in Round 1.
Final: Erhan Deniz def. Wendell Roche by decision.

Ultimate Reflections
Santa Barbara, CA
I was born in Santa Barbara and have a musical and creative background. I started making kaleidoscopes around 10 years ago after 15 years of working with stained glass art. I am an active member of the California Kaleidoscopes Guild and the Brewster Society which is a nationwide society of creative Kaleidoscope enthusiasts.
My Kaleidoscopes are not your typical every day Kaleidoscopes. Kaleidoscopes, as an art form, in the last 15 years has really taken off. I've enjoyed being a part of this movement. I make a variety of 2, 3, and 4 mirror Kaleidoscopes which are 2, 2.5, and 3 dimensional in nature. I use domestic, U.S. made, colored glass as the decorative exteriors and dynamically moving, sparkling oil for the object chambers at the end of the mirror system. My scopes create images reminiscent of fireworks, cathedral rose windows, outerspace and psychedelics.

While most treatment approaches to addiction include 12 step programs, rehabs, and now sober living houses, Grey Matters International, Inc. provides a wildly successful alternative to traditional models of addiction treatment----that keeps the brain in mind. That is, talking to the conscious brain while the primal brain is deciding things even before you are consciously aware? Well, that is the problem to solve in addiction. We have the solution utilizing a new cutting edge neuroscience-centered brain rebalancing system. Contact email@example.com or call 877-606-6161.
10632 Little Patuxent Pkwy, Suite 340, Columbia, Maryland 21044
I see any addictive behavior as a faulty coping strategy. People try all sorts of things in attempt to make themselves feel more comfortable, less anxious, or happier. We are all doing the best we can with what we have available to us at the time, and sometimes our "best" doesn't really help. In fact, it often causes harm to ourselves and others. I help clients understand the root causes of their addictive behavior, and how to meet their needs on a deeper level in healthy ways rather than destructive ways.
10632 Little Patuxent Pkwy Suite 313, Columbia, Maryland 21044
I have co-run an addiction program serving people with alcohol and drug problems. I have often found that people are self medicating when they are using drugs, covering other problems such as anxiety or depression. In these cases both the addiction and underlying problems need to be addressed. I specialize in relapse prevention. Living one day at a time is what we all need to be doing.
5525 Twin Knolls Rd. #331, Columbia, Maryland 21045
I work with overspending and sexual addiction. Both of these are what are called "process addictions." With spending without much forethought and with sexual behavior regardless of consequences, lives are out of control. With both of these impulse disorders, I recommend 12 step groups as well as individual therapy with me. The groups help the person see their problems as they hear other people's stories and they also give hope and "sponsors." Our treatment helps them find out what needs they are really trying to meet and get in touch with their real feelings rather than "doping"with overspending or with sexually acting out. Note: I do not treat alcoholism or drug addiction.


text: Heinrich Melchior MühlenbergMühlenberg, Heinrich Melchior (mĕlˈkhēôr müˈlənbĕrk) [key], 1711–87, American Lutheran clergyman, b. Germany, educated at Göttingen and at Halle. He arrived (1742) in Pennsylvania to serve as pastor of several congregations in and near Philadelphia, but he soon became the leader of all the Lutheran groups in the colonies. Often called the patriarch of Lutheranism in America, he organized (1748) the first Lutheran synod in the country. John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg myōˈlənbûrg, 1746–1807, American clergyman, Revolutionary officer, and legislator, eldest son of Heinrich, was born in Trappe, Pa., and studied at Halle. Although he was raised a Lutheran and studied for the Lutheran ministry, he was ordained an Episcopalian to insure his legal status as a clergyman in Woodstock, Va. In 1776 he left his church in Woodstock to raise and lead a regiment in the American Revolution. Throughout the war he served with distinction, retiring (1783) as brevet major general. He entered political life in Pennsylvania and served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. Frederick Augustus Conrad Muhlenberg, 1750–1801, Lutheran clergyman and legislator, second son of Heinrich, also was born at Trappe, Pa., and educated at Halle. He was pastor of various churches in Pennsylvania and pastor (1773–76) of Christ (Lutheran) Church, New York City. Because of his sympathies with the Revolutionary cause, he left New York City (then under British occupation) and returned to Pennsylvania. Muhlenberg was a delegate (1779–80) to the Continental Congress and a member (1789–97) of the House of Representatives, twice serving as speaker. He cast the decisive vote on the appropriations bill that ensured the ratification of Jay's Treaty. See H. M. Mühlenberg's journals (3 vol., 1942–58); biography of him by W. J. Mann (1911); P. A. W.

IPAD PRESENTATION UPLOADED ASAP But Available of Diane Ravitch's Bog or in emails by request: firstname.lastname@example.com
At a recent board meeting where the Board of Education approved a $30 million dollar deal for 1,000 devices we were told by Jamie Aquino and Apple that the deal included a 3 year warranty which included theft and all inclusive coverage for 3 years.
Now we find these documents. Look at the dates. Look at who wrote them. What do they say? Does that line up with what was stated on television at the board meeting before the approval of $30 million without any terms or conditions and the fact that in February of 2013 a Jaime Aquino power point states that the devices will cost no more than $200 each and with a 5 year warranty.
What happened? They are now 500% more and 2 years less warranty and no keyboards. This is the ethical standard for the second largest public school district in the U.S.?
It has been stated that textbooks cost $80/year/student. At three years, the lifetime of the I-Pad, that is $240. At four years it is $320. When the device is $200 divided by 3 it is $66.66/year divided by 4 it is $50/year/student. If we had the $200 device with 5 years protection it is now $40/year/student or 1/2 the cost of textbooks or a savings at 650,000 students of $26,000,000/year. This would mean $130,000,000 over 5 years and being able to replace them every 5 years with savings to put into other educational purposes.
Now what we have is $1,000 each, or $1,592 each or $200 each. Name the magic number. We have them for $200 each. Now, in all fairness, how about an analysis of $1,000 each.
3 years at $1,000 = $333/year/student. This is a negative in the budget of $253/student/year or $164,450,000/year or in three years a deficit of $493,350,000. This means financially the difference between the February 12, 2013 plan and what was approved is about $650,000,000. Is it any wonder you are having trouble.
The Feb. plan gave the district the technology and a surplus and is sustainable and the Sept. plan is a one way ticket to hell. And we haven't added in the keyboard costs yet!And what if a parent does not want to be responsible? You can't force them to sign. What if they do not have wifi at home?
How is it that Aquino, Apple, consultants and high level staff is allowed to come into the board room in public and outright lie when they know about what was just sent to you. These were sent to the board. .FROM OUR MAN GB


text: Cheap Flights to MinneapolisKnown for its cleanliness and friendliness, Minneapolis is one of the gems of the Midwest. The city is a national hub for the arts, boasting a number of internationally acclaimed institutions, including the Guthrie Theater, the Walker Arts Center, the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Weisman Art Museum. In addition, the city is an architectural wonder, featuring buildings designed by such luminaries as Frank Gehry and Jean Nouvel. Visitors to Minneapolis can explore the city's expansive system of parks. One of the most scenic features is its Chain of Lakes, composed of seven lakes, which are connected by bike, running and walking paths. During the warmers months these lakes become recreational hotspots for locals and tourists looking to picnic, swim, fish and sail. Minneapolis also claims vibrant shopping, culinary and nightlife scenes. The downtown district's pedestrian friendly Nicollet Mall is home to a host of pubs, lounges and eateries. The area is also a great location for business travelers and pleasure seekers to search for Minneapolis hotel deals. Many posh bars and nightclubs can be found adjacent to downtown in the revitalized warehouse district, a former industrial part of the city that is now home to many high-end lofts and condos. For more urban attractions, visit Minneapolis' twin city St. Paul, located just a few miles southeast of the city. Or explore the natural beauty of Minnesota by driving to one of the region's state park. You can find cheap flights to Minneapolis using Travelzoo's Super Search. Which Airlines Fly to Minneapolis?Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) serves the Twin Cities area and is a hub for both Delta and Sun Country Airlines. Many domestic carriers provide flights to Minneapolis from a wide range of departure cities. East Coast travelers can compare airfare discounts from New York, Newark, Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, Charlotte and other cities on American Eagle, Continental, Delta, Sun Country, United and US Airways. Meanwhile, West Coast vacationers can buy low-price plane tickets from Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and other departure cities on Alaska Airlines, Delta, Sun Country and United. Midwesterners can find flight deals from Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and other cities on AirTran Airways, American Airlines, American Eagle, Continental, Delta, Frontier, Southwest and United. Minneapolis Flight TipsFind cheap flights to Minneapolis by flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Quick Travel Guide to MinneapolisWhether you're interested in the arts, fine dining or great shopping, Minneapolis has a lot to offer. If you enjoy live theatre, than no trip to the city would be complete without a visit to the Guthrie Theater. This world-renowned institution is widely recognized as one of the greatest performance arts institutions in the country. Housing three stages, the Guthrie itself is a work of art. Designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, the building features a 178-foot observatory that thrusts out toward the adjacent Mississippi River, providing visitors with beautiful vistas of the majestic waterway. During the city's warmer seasons, the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden makes for a great afternoon retreat. The 11-acre park includes 40 permanent art installations as well as several temporary installations. Afterward, venture to the nearby Walker Art Center, one of the most culturally significant modern art museums in the country. Here, you will find a large collection of visual arts as well as film and video arts. Next, head downtown to explore the many shops, restaurants and bars that occupy the city's storefronts. If you're visiting during the wintertime, make sure to take advantage of Minneapolis' Skyway system. This network of aboveground tunnels runs throughout an 80-block region of the city's center and is heavily used during cold weather to shield locals and visitors from the chilly temperatures. While downtown, visit the Mary Tyler Moore statue, a landmark commemorating the iconic television character. Or check out First Avenue, one of the oldest dance clubs in Minneapolis. Downtown is also home to Minneapolis' sports stadiums, including Target Field and the Metrodome. For more dining and nightlife options, head south to the Uptown district along Hennepin Avenue. This swank part of town is home to an array of hip clothing boutiques and record stores. It also sports an eclectic mix of restaurants that serve everything form Italian to Asian-Latin fusion. Shopping aficionados should make the pilgrimage to the Mall of America. Located south of the city near the airport, he Mall of America is the third largest shopping center in North America and boasts more than 500 stores, an indoor theme park and an aquarium. |

Today I washed my first bird for practice, as I will be showing her late this month. I had the help of a friend and bathed my white bird, a Sultan who is very fragile.
Halfway into the bath, she was shaking violenty. I though she was going into shock and was seriously about to cry. (Note: I followed a great set of directions I found online and read them before bathing.) I made the bath very short, doing all the steps though I'm use I left some soap in.
My friend told me she was just being nervious but I took my pullet out anyway, toweled her, and blow-dried her whole body, as she still shook rapidly. I put her under a heat lamp an she kept contact with her brood-mate, a Polish. Eventually, I had to resort to putting the Polish in with her and she calmed down alot, shaking little and beginning to preen herself. It's been a few hours and I moved the Polish so my pullet wouldn't get poo on herself. I'm still shaking myself.
The exhibition is not strictly APA and is mainly for 4H-ers like myself. My birds that I'm showing are only 11 weeks old, and will be nearly 3 months old when I have to bath them next. I'm so frightened, I highly doubt I'll be washing my girl again. I wasn't expecting this much trouble. But she does have both a habit of being nervous and sickly. The other two I'm planning to wash are much stronge birds but are the same age.
Question: Is this normal behavior? Or is it age? Just her? I can try to put up a pic of her and her clean self tomorrow.

CARSON CITY — The forensic manager of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police crime lab testified Thursday that her office is more than a year behind in processing DNA from crime scenes.
Kimberly Murga, however, still told the Assembly Judiciary Committee via teleconference that she supports Senate Bill 243, known as Brianna's Law.
The bill, if approved, would require anyone arrested for a felony as of July 1, 2014, to give DNA through a cheek swab. The current law requires DNA samples to be given only when the person is convicted of a felony. The bill passed the Senate unanimously.
Murga said the Clark County lab is current in processing DNA taken from convicted felons, but far behind in processing crime scene DNA.
Earlier, the head of the Washoe County crime lab told the committee his lab is current on all DNA processing.
That wasn't the case in 2008 when a 19-year-old coed named Brianna Denison was raped and murdered by James Biela, now on death row in Ely State Prison.
Supporters of SB243 contend Denison's murder might have been prevented if the bill had been in effect then because Biela had a previous felony arrest. Residents in Washoe County made contributions that year to help the county crime lab reduce its DNA backlog.
During a three-hour hearing on the bill where no action was taken, many legislators and witnesses questioned the constitutionality of collecting DNA from people who have not been convicted of crimes. They also were dismayed because the bill requires the person arrested — if he or she is not charged or later convicted of a lesser crime — to take steps on their own to have their DNA expunged from records.
"Shouldn't it be automatic?" asked Assemblyman Jim Wheeler, R-Gardnerville, of expunging DNA records for those without felony convictions.
"Can't we be more fair?" added Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, R-Las Vegas. "It is easy to get (DNA) in the system, but doubly hard to get out."
In an interview, the bill's main sponsor, Sen. Debbie Smith, D-Sparks, said the backlog in processing DNA from Clark County crime scenes should not be an excuse to kill the bill, which died during the 2011 Legislature.
But by collecting DNA before conviction, ACLU lobbyist Vanessa Spinazola said the bill violates the "fundamental principle in America that people are innocent until proven guilty."
Spinazola also noted that two people were convicted in Clark County when the wrong DNA was used at their trials. Murga acknowledged that was true, but pointed out those convictions came in 2001 and 2002, before the DNA lab was certified. One of the men wrongly convicted, Dewayne Jackson, received a $1.5 million settlement.
Legislators also questioned Jayann Sepich, the mother of Katie Sepich, a 22-year-old New Mexico State University student who was raped and killed in 2003. DNA was taken from the crime scene and her daughter's killer was caught three years later. New Mexico that year passed a law allowing DNA to be taken from those who've been arrested.
The issue of whether such laws violate the constitution has been heard by the U.S. Supreme Court and a decision will be made this spring. Sepich has been an advocate in many states for laws like the one before the Judiciary Committee. Her organization is DNA Saves.
She contended having DNA expunged from innocent peoples' records is easy, involving filling out forms and putting a stamp on a letter.
But Steve Yeager, a Clark County public defender, said it was not as simple as Sepich said. He said people would need to collect affidavits and other material for their requests to expunge DNA records and some of his clients would not be capable of doing that.

It's been about 12 months since my obsession with stripes began.
Maybe it was the French parenting craze that set in, or just finding a first favorite striped shirt that put me on a path to acquiring ten more, but I'm almost ready to put it to rest. Not just yet, though.
First, I want to have a look at all the cute baby stripes I found on the giggle website.
The outdoor blanket. I have one of these waterproof throws, and I used it all the time during Julian's first year. My friends and I were constantly meeting up at a park and laying the babies on the ground. On the weekends, my husband and I became frequent picnickers as well, picking up take-out food and eating al fresco while baby Julian watched us. (Al fresco does not mean "naked"; it means "outdoors". I always get confused and think it means "naked".) My kids are big now, and I take that same blanket to their soccer games. Every new family needs one.
Organic striped cotton sheets and apparel. Cute, cute, cute. And I far prefer geometric designs than duckies and bunnies on baby clothes.
Rugs. The clever folks at giggle probably imagined these striped rugs would go in a nursery, but I like them for anywhere in the house. Heather has a very similar one to the circle in her den and it looks great.
When I was a kid, my dad always said "Yikes! Stripes!" if we put on anything with bold stripes. How do you feel about them? Have we moved beyond the conventional wisdom of horizontal stripes being renown as unflattering?

Birthday Gift for a One Year Old Girl
I think an infantile girl deserves to know what it feels like to play with a dump truck. She can store tea pots in the backseat if she'd like to feel more feminine though my instinct tells me if she can't even identify her nose, it's too soon to figure a gender debacle of any sort. She can conversely use it literally, as a dump truck because toilets are silly and we are past that.
Vive le poop.

So, I've heard that being a male ENFJ is relatively rare (I've seen maybe three or four besides me in the ENFJ Cult ). Most ENFJs are female. I've also heard that the female INTP is almost non-existant.
As I've never met my supposed match in female form, what does an emotionally healthy/mature female INTP look like personally/interpersonally?
I've heard they like making gadgets...which struck me as ISTP. Kinda a minor detail, not sure.
Furthermore, to fulfill my complete curiosity, what does a good male ENFJ-female INTP relationship look like? Anybody in the forum have that relationship or know people who do to describe it?
I don't ask because I desire to find Myers-Briggs perfection when the right one crosses my path; maturity tends to soften personality conflict differences (or unwelcome similarities), and between two mature people, any relationship can flourish.
Still, I'm admittedly curious.

A rare, genetic disorder marked by tumors called paragangliomas, which are found in paraganglia. Paraganglia are groups of nerve-like cells found near the adrenal glands and near blood vessels or nerves in the head, neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Paragangliomas that form in the adrenal glands are called pheochromocytomas. Paragangliomas are usually benign (not cancer), but sometimes become malignant (cancerous). People with hereditary paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma syndrome usually have more than one paraganglioma, and may have an increased risk of certain types of cancer, such as kidney cancer and thyroid cancer.

Live on C-SPAN2, Rand Paul filibustering the Brennan nomination. He started at 11:45AM and is on a roll.
As Emily Zanotti Skyles put it,
There's nothing better than a straight-up for-reals filibuster. I can't wait until Rand Paul gets to the Betty Crocker cookbook.
He has a ways to go. Right now he's talking about privacy rights, and there's plenty to say on that topic.
Ted Cruz joins in,
By Fausta
Ted Cruz is in the unique position of being a Senator who'll most likely never run for POTUS since he was born in Canada. His professional background is second to no one's (particularly the current POTUS's),
Before being elected, Ted received national acclaim as the Solicitor General of Texas, the State's chief lawyer before the U.S. Supreme Court. Serving under Attorney General Greg Abbott, Ted was the nation's youngest Solicitor General, the longest serving Solicitor General in Texas, and the first Hispanic Solicitor General of Texas.
In private practice in Houston, Ted spent five years as a partner at one of the nation's largest law firms, where he led the firm's U.S. Supreme Court and national Appellate Litigation practice.
Ted has authored more than 80 U.S. Supreme Court briefs and argued 43 oral arguments, including nine before the U.S. Supreme Court. During Ted's service as Solicitor General, Texas achieved an unprecedented series of landmark national victories, including successfully defending:
- U.S. sovereignty against the UN and the World Court in Medellin v. Texas;
- The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms;
- The constitutionality of the Texas Ten Commandments monument;
- The constitutionality of the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance;
- The constitutionality of the Texas Sexually Violent Predator Civil Commitment law; and
- The Texas congressional redistricting plan.
The National Law Journal has called Ted "a key voice" to whom "the [U.S. Supreme Court] Justices listen." Ted has been named by American Lawyer magazine as one of the 50 Best Litigators under 45 in America, by the National Law Journal as one of the 50 Most Influential Minority Lawyers in America, and by Texas Lawyer as one of the 25 Greatest Texas Lawyers of the Past Quarter Century.
From 2004-09, he taught U.S. Supreme Court Litigation as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Texas School of Law.
Prior to becoming Solicitor General, he served as the Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission, as Associate Deputy Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice, and as Domestic Policy Advisor on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign.
Ted graduated with honors from Princeton University and with high honors from Harvard Law School. He served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist on the U.S. Supreme Court. He was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for the Chief Justice of the United States.
Cruz has jumped into the fray:
So far he is the only senator who has dared challenge the many blatant falsehoods President Obama and many congressional Democrats have been pushing regarding guns, in particular the bogus claim that 40 percent of gun sales are done without background checks.
To add to the Dems' outrage, Cruz is demanding that Chuck Hagel disclose the source of funds Hagel receive for speeches (particularly $200,000),
Lanny Davis is among the few democrats who agree that Hagel should make full disclosure.
Behold, the birth of Ted Cruz Derangement syndrome: IS SENATOR TED CRUZ OUR NEW MCCARTHY?
A guy who was at Harvard Law at the same time as TC had this to say,
@ryanlizza I was there then. Cruz is basically correct: there were more Marxists than Republicans. Mayer should have talked to more people.
— Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank) February 22, 2013
This is only the beginning, folks.
Give 'em hell, Ted!

Now that Senator Robert Menendez's friend and major campaign donor Dr. Salomon Melgen is under investigation for Medicare fraud, two of the prostitutes they hired have been missing for several months:
Following the trail of Sen. Robert Menendez scandal leads to dead end in Dominican Republic
Women named by tipster exist and were there — but not anymore.
Maybe they're hiding at the Doll Palace, maybe not.
As you can see from the article, at least one tipster is not anonymous.
Meanwhile, blame Cuba…
The bigger issue, which I pointed out months ago, is whether he violated Senate rules by accepting two round-trip flights to the Dominican Republican from Melgen. Menendez goes back a long way,
Menendez, who scaled the political ladder in Hudson County, a Democratic bastion long known for its flexible ethics, is no stranger to controversy.
In 2007, Chris Christie, who at the time was the U.S. attorney for New Jersey, began a federal investigation of Menendez over potential conflicts of interests with recipients of government financing.
The Star-Ledger reported then that Menendez had collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in rent for a building he owned in Union City from the North Hudson Community Action Corp., an antipoverty group. Menendez had helped the group win millions of dollars in federal funding.
But no charges were filed, and Menendez ultimately received a rare clearance letter from the U.S. attorney's office informing him that the case was being closed.
Last May, Joseph Bigica, a major supporter of Menendez, pleaded guilty to using straw donors to funnel nearly $100,000 in illegal contributions to the senator's campaign, which was not accused of any wrongdoing. It acknowledged having received the donation, but said it had been a victim in the case.
A campaign official said they planned to give the money to charity.
Bigica, of Franklin Lakes, admitted that from April 2005 to May 2009 he had conspired to make the illegal contributions to the campaign committee of an unidentified candidate for federal office. Officials did not identify the candidate, but campaign finance records show the donations went to Menendez.
Ah, the scent of New Jersey politics…and now he's chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Stacy checks out the facts, and also points out (emphasis added)
This is highly interesting, because on Jan. 4, Menendez paid back Dr. Melgen $58,500 for three flights, but this (alleged) Easter weekend trip wasn't one of those, and it was during the Easter weekend trip that one of the sex parties (allegedly) took place.
And this:
CULTURE OF CORRUPTION: Billion With a 'B': Did Menendez Provide Special Favors to HookerGate Donor? "Follow the money – if Melgen had a billion-dollar contract at stake, his 'friendship' with Senator Menendez was obviously more than a mere social acquaintance, which doesn't necessarily mean that it was illegal for Menendez to pressure the administration to help Melgen enforce his Dominican port security contract. But how and why does a Florida opthamologist become an international port-security mogul?"

The nominee for Secretary of Defense flunked the interview:
"It is very clear from the testimony that Sen. Hagel will not be bringing the potato salad to the next Mensa picnic."
Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) did an immense amount of danger, disclosing that Hagel would still oppose unilateral sanctions. (How then could he possibly be the defense secretary in this administration?). Moreover, in reading his own words from the Global Zero report, she forced him to squirm, insisting the words she read didn't mean what they said.
Even more damaging was the brilliant — there is no other word for it — interrogation from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) who challenged him to name one senator "intimidated" by the "Jewish lobby" and to name "one dumb thing" the United States did as a result of that intimidation. He couldn't. Why did he say those things, then? The result of this exchange was to cast Hagel as a gadfly who speaks rashly.
And then came Ted Cruz,
with the al-Jazeera clips:
First, Cruz played excerpts from a tape of Hagel's 2009 appearance on al Jazeera, in which a caller suggested that Israel had committed war crimes. In responding to the question, Hagel did not dispute the caller's statement. Cruz also pointed to statement by Hagel that Israel had engaged in "the sickening slaughter" of Hezbollah, which sounds a bit like war crimes.
Taken together, these pieces of information show that Hagel regards Israel as a criminal state, or at least is comfortable with that characterization. Hagel tried, with the same lameness he displayed most of the day, to talk away around this conclusion. He stated that both sides — Israelis and Hezbollah — had slaughtered each other. Perhaps Hagel will produce a tape in which he accused the Palestinians of engaging in a "sickening slaughter" of Israelis. Perhaps he will produce a tape (from the period before he was in the running for a cabinet job under President Obama) in which he took exception to the claim that Israel has committed war crimes. Perhaps, but don't hold your breath.
Next, Cruz played an excerpt from the same interview in which the al Jazeera host read a reader e-mail claiming that the United States has served as the world's bully. This time Hagel not only failed to take exception and stick up for his country, he said on al Jazeera he found some merit in the claim, calling it "a good observation" (the Washington Post report linked to above fails to report this fact).
Pressed by Cruz, Hagel tried to squirm his way out of this bit of anti-Americanism by misrepresenting both the email and his response. But Cruz brought him back to the text, which makes it quite clear that Hagel endorsed the view that America is the world's bully.
Paul Mirengoff ask, "Does 'smart power' require a smart Secretary of Defense?" and concludes,
Hagel's testimony is an insult to the intelligence of the Senate and the American people. When he is confirmed, as I assume he will be (probably on a laregly party line vote), the Pentagon will be under the control of less than mediocre thinker and a less than honest man.
We're in the best of hands.

Remember, Hagel is the guy Obama wants. So is John Kerry.

It doesn't matter that it's a funeral, for a war hero, Medal of Honor recipient, and president pro tempore of the United States Senate; O has to blab on about himself,
In the short 1,600 word speech, Obama used the word "my" 21 times, "me" 12 times, and "I" 30 times.
Because O is historic, you know.
The ego has landed.

Marco Rubio's first speech in the Senate,
The Foundry posts on Marco Rubio's Exceptional America
Rubio concluded by acknowledging the fear that "America's century" was the 20th century and that someone else might lead the next. But this, he argues, would be entirely a failure of the American government. Our government is bankrupt and seems unwilling to fix itself. But the American people are not broken. They retain the same capabilities and desires to succeed that their ancestors did. Rubio exhorted his fellow Senators that:
If we give America a government that could live within its means, the American economy will give us a government of considerable means. A government that can afford to pay for the things government should be doing, because it does not waste money on the things government should not be doing. If we can deliver on a few simple but important things, we have the chance to do something that's difficult to imagine is even possible: an America whose future will be greater than her past.
That would be an exceptional America, indeed.

"Their pricing is extremely competitive," Brasen said "The challenge comes in below 500 end points." Brasen said that the return on investment (ROI) diminishes as companies approach 100 end points, when compared with some of the per-seat options on the market. As a result, Kace may be best suited for organizations above that 500-seat mark. "I think that's the niche that they're really trying for," Brasen said.
Brasen noted, however, that if a vendor's feature set makes particular sense for an organization, then the ROI may not be strictly a matter of dollars and cents in relation to headcount.
That was true for South Coast Water District (SCWD), which provides water and sewer service in southern California. IT manager Bryon Black said his public agency was attracted to Kace's appliance model and has found success using its scripted installations.
SCWD is about halfway through its migration of around 150 end points. Black estimated that migrating a single user before Kace would take about a half a day, and now that's down to 20 minutes. When weighing the costs of deploying Kace, Black said that time saved was the critical factor.
"We kept a careful eye on how much less work this was going to be for us," he said, adding that SCWD didn't have the resources to hire the additional headcount it would have needed to avoid business-as-usual disruptions during migration. Black's IT department numbers two -- including him. "We've saved a person, at least."
Black did point out that there was a significant learning curve in automating with Kace, but said that's likely the case with any vendor in the space. "That part is painful for anyone, I think."
"With a team of two people, we're knocking out about three [users] per day and keeping up with our regular workload," Black said. "I'm pretty stoked about that."

Avid linear-pull brakes let you keep things under control, while a WTB saddle and Salsa Moto-Ace handlebar keep you comfortable.

Changing the super sluggish Shimano freewheel to a White Industries is the only upgrade needed to make this bicycle PERFECT. 132.5mm dropouts means you can ride road 130 / or mtn 135 rear wheels. The excellent steel toptube rings so load when flicked, that you don't need bells & whistles. The stem/bar joint is the largest 31.5mm & the strongest. Build up choice as 3 x 9 or as is SS. VERY VERSATILE ; easy to rebuild. There is nothing wrong with this Surly model.

Rolling Meadows, IL, October 5, 2009—Komatsu America Corp. introduces the new WD600-6 wheel dozer equipped with a Tier 3 compliant engine. The 108,280 pound WD600-6 is designed to work with either a straight blade or U blade in many applications. It offers improved productivity, lower fuel consumption and increased reliability.
The WD600-6 is powered by a Komatsu Tier 3, SAA6D170E-5 six-cylinder engine, which produces 502 HP at 1,800 RPM, a significant increase in horsepower over the previous model. Komatsu's Tier 3 engine is equipped with innovative new technologies including an electronic control system to optimize vehicle performance; a heavy-duty High Pressure Common Rail Fuel Injection System; a new combustion system for reduced noise and fuel consumption; a cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation system and an air-to-air charge air-cooling system. The WD600-6's engine comes standard with dual-mode engine power: an Economy mode for maximum fuel efficiency, and a Power mode for maximum productivity.
Designed for Operator Comfort
The WD600-6's large operator's cab has been ergonomically designed to provide the operator with more room and easy access to all switches and levers to minimize operator fatigue and improve productivity. The cab features AJSS (Automatic Joy Stick Steering) which allows for easier and more accurate directional control. An EPC (Electronic Pilot Control) mono-lever is provided for efficient control of the work equipment. The operator's cab comes with large fully-adjustable left and right armrests, increased fore and aft travel of the air ride seat and an automatic heater/defroster/AC.
Komatsu developed a Level-2 ROPS/FOPS integral cabin with rubber and silicone viscous damping mounts to reduce cab vibration and noise levels. The large-size flat glass windows provide maximum visibility.
Exceptional Power and Productivity
For dozing applications, a new, large capacity torque converter with lock-up transmission provides increased productivity, faster cycle times and improved fuel consumption. With a 3-element, single stage, double-phase torque converter and a full-powershift, planetary type transmission, travel speeds have increased over the previous model, with a forward top-speed of 23.4 mph and a reverse top-speed of 22.4 mph.
The WD600-6 features a modulated clutch system with variable traction control. This controls the tractive effort by allowing the operator to select from 100 percent to 20 percent of the T/C converter output. In limited traction situation, the operator can reduce tire slippage by utilizing the Variable Traction Control system. The modulation clutch, controlled by the left pedal, allows for smooth reduction of speed when approaching a truck or hopper, reduction of shocks when shifting from forward to reverse and can reduce tire slippage as well.
The WD600-6 is equipped with variable displacement piston pumps and CLSS (Closed Load Sensing System for maximum blade control during both single and simultaneous blade. In addition, the wheel dozer is outfitted with auxiliary steering, high pressure in-line filters and a new fully hydraulic braking system, including a wet-disc parking brake. The brakes are completely sealed to keep out contaminants and reduce wear and maintenance.
Equipment Monitoring Features
The WD600-6 includes Komatsu's EMMS (Equipment Management Monitoring System), which displays 28 different machine functions including fluid/filter change intervals and trouble-shooting memory display functions such as engine oil levels and coolant temperature.
The WD600-6 is also equipped with Komatsu's Vehicle Health Monitoring System (VHMS) which allows owners/operators to remotely monitor the health of major machine components as well as the machine's condition and operations. The VHMS system enables downloaded machine data to be transmitted via the Internet and reviewed by Komatsu and distributor service personnel. VHMS was designed to help reduce repair costs and maintain optimal machine availability by helping prevent unscheduled downtime.
Komatsu America Corp. is a U.S. subsidiary of Komatsu Ltd. which is the world's second largest manufacturer and supplier of construction, mining and compact construction equipment. Through its distributor network, Komatsu offers a state-of-the-art parts and service program to support the equipment. Komatsu has proudly been providing high-quality reliable products for nearly a century. Visit the website at www.komatsuamerica.com for more information.

Alicia (Japanese: アリシア Alicia) is a character who appeared in flashbacks in The Rise of Darkrai.
She is Alice's grandmother, and she helped Darkrai when it was injured. She was the first human being to show it any kindness. Darkrai believes that Alice is Alicia and that is why it was so protective of her.
Alicia taught Alice the song "Oración" meaning "Prayer," which has the ability to calm any Pokémon. There was also a special song disc that could be played on the Space-Time tower's chimes. It was in turn used to stop Dialga and Palkia's fighting.
A sculpture of Alicia created by Godey is in the middle of the Space-Time towers. She is playing her song while many Pokémon sit around her and listen.
It is not known if she's still alive or not, seeing as how she's not around during the events of the movie, and her only appearances are in Alice's flashbacks.

Yoko Ono has dismissed reports her late husband John Lennon suffered from an eating disorder.
Author Debra Sharon Davis alleges in her book BackStage Pass Vip that Lennon had issues with food and would make himself sick after eating binges.
She says, "Lennon was confused about his obsession with food. One must also realise that at that time, the public and the media were unaware of bulimia as an addiction and health risk - which made it all the more frightening for John Lennon. He literally had no point-of-reference on what he was experiencing."
However, Ono is adamant the claims are untrue, telling Britain's Daily Mirror, "John did not have an eating disorder. Sometimes he slipped and ate a bar of chocolate. His diets included (a) vegetarian diet, macrobiotic diet and, very rarely, a juice diet. All of the above are internationally approved health diets."

With shares of Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) trading at around $7.89, is MU an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
C = Catalyst for the Stock's Movement
Following this story is like watching a Hollywood movie. As you might already know, U.S. bondholders opposed the Elpida deal. They felt that Elpida was worth closer to $4 billion. They also weren't happy about "secret" meetings taking place in Japan. In addition to that, they claimed a lack of access to Tokyo court, and they felt there wasn't enough transparency in general. That said, as always, it really came down to the money/value. However, it's important to keep in mind that despite Elpida being Japan's largest of DRAM chips, it was failing due to foreign competition and weak demand. A U.S. bankruptcy court judge in Delaware recently ruled that there was no collusion or improper motives in the Micron/Elpida deal, which was good news for Micron Technology and its investors.

You might be wondering why Micron Technology would be interested in a failing company. The Elpida deal will make Micron Technology the second largest DRAM chip company in the world behind Samsung Electronics. It will also increase exposure in the consumer mobile space, and potentially add Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) as a customer. This doesn't guarantee success. Taking on a failing company will definitely have its challenges.
Now let's take a look at Micron Technology without Elpida.
