Ray Ban is the preferred choice of folks who want their sunglasses with a dash of oomph, performance that comes without compromises and structural integrity that make eyewear a practical choice for harsh outdoor conditions also. For the fashionable fraternity there is no alternative to a pair of Ray Bans. Some folks are fanatic about it, some are collectors and some habitual users but all of them have one thing in common—no doubts regarding the superiority of Ray Ban sunglasses.
Bausch & Lomb created Ray-Ban in 1930s for aerospace pilots who were facing problems, like nausea and headaches, due to intensity of white and blue hues when flying high. The hard hitting sun rays at greater heights were a matter of concern for the aerospace industry. Bosch & Lomb came up with anti-glare Ray Ban sunglasses that offered 100% UV protection. This opened the doors to the commercialization of the brand and since then, Ray Ban has ensured its iconic aviators, or other, instant hits are never short on inspiration or technological advancement.
If something has worked so well, for so long, and continues to engage sales, why change it? This is what some industry experts might believe but not the creative team at Ray Ban. The collection is being continuously curated with lightweight, durable frames in more creative ways. Perhaps, this is why Ray Ban is regarded as a culturally progressive brand. Outright fashionable, high on glamor, it continues to engage the attention of rock stars and celebrities.
The design philosophy at Ray Ban is progressive. It is never shy of innovating. However, the consistency in quality is a pattern that has never been breached. Ray Ban is considered technologically advanced and yet it produces Aviators and Wayfarers with an artisan-like approach. The options on offer have been rising, some sleek, some retro, each with a wide range of premium constructional materials, including premium sunglasses made from carbon fibre.
Ray Ban might not have the type of exclusivity that some niche brands have in this segment, due to its widespread supply chain. However, this does not rob the brand of its premium features. It is a market leader when it comes to high-performing lenses. This is cutting-edge eyewear technology at its best. Most folks might not realize this but Ray Ban has systematically groomed its lenses since 1937, ensuring there is a properly fitting option for every buyer, every face. At this moment, Ray Ban has categorized all of its 12 lenses across 4 categories—Classic, Gradient, Mirror and Polarized.
You also get the option of buying a Ray Ban from a range of lenses in different colors. The more sophisticated blacks and browns have a professional, scholarly touch to them while bright blues, oranges and greens add a dash of refreshing style.
From unisexual to feminine and masculine frames, you will always find a Ray Ban that suits your preferences. Take a few minutes to explore our collection of the most trending and famous Ray Bans...

Lucie is a cluster installation and configuration tool. It enables parallel network installation of large numbers of nodes from one single administration server. The Lucie installer performs HDD partitioning and installations of the Linux kernel and required software packages. The Lucie configurator then generates system and software configurations. Lucie is designed to be scalable and efficient, so a complete Linux cluster can be built from scratch in a short amount of time. Moreover, the whole installation process is designed to be fully automated.
The Palabos library offers a framework in C++ for fluid flow simulations with the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. Originally conceived as a research tool for lattice Boltzmann models, the code has evolved into a general-purpose program for computational fluid dynamics. The programming interface is straightforward and offers an access to the rich world of lattice Boltzmann, even to an audience with restricted theoretical knowledge of this method. A special emphasis is put on high performance and parallel computing.
StarCluster is a utility for creating traditional computing clusters used in research labs or for general distributed computing applications on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). It uses a simple configuration file provided by the user to request cloud resources from Amazon and to automatically configure them with a queuing system, an NFS shared /home directory, passwordless SSH, OpenMPI, and ~140GB scratch disk space. It consists of a Python library and a simple command line interface to the library. For end-users, the command line interface provides simple intuitive options for getting started with distributed computing on EC2 (i.e. starting/stopping clusters, managing AMIs, etc). For developers, the library wraps the EC2 API to provide a simplified interface for launching/terminating nodes, executing commands on the nodes, copying files to/from the nodes, etc.
iLAP (Laboratory data management, Analysis, and Protocol development) is a workflow-driven information management system specifically designed to create and manage experimental protocols and to analyze and share laboratory data. The system combines experimental protocol development, wizard-based data acquisition, and high-throughput data analysis into a single, integrated system.
OpenMPF is a library for solving large, dense, multi-RHS linear systems. It is based on MPI/openMP parallelism, and relies on BLAS/LAPACK/MUMPS for the single node computations. It implements direct and iterative solvers, out-of-core matrices and vectors, and is easily accessible through a Python interface.
Strategico is an engine for running statistical analysis over groups of time series. It can manage one or more groups (projects) of time series: by default, you can get data from a database or CSV files, normalize them, and then save them inside the engine. The first statistical analysis implemented inside Strategico is the "Long Term Prediction": it automatically finds the best model that fits each time series. Some of the models implemented are mean, trend, linear, exponential smoothing, and Arima. Strategico is scalable: the statistical analysis over each time series (of a project) can be run separately and independently. It is suggested that you set up an HPC Cluster (High Performance Computing) and/or use a resource scheduler like slurm. It is developed with R, one of the most famous statistical languages.
Robinhood Policy Engine is a multi-purpose tool for managing the content of large filesystems. It can audit filesystem content, perform accounting, remove old unused files according to admin-defined policies, show customizable alerts based on file properties, backup data to external storage, and more. It has advanced capabilities for Lustre filesystems. It leverages OST usage, and lists or purges files per OST, with policy criteria based on pools and OST index. It can also process MDT changelogs with Lustre v2. Originally developped for HPC, it has been designed to perform all of its tasks in parallel, so it is particularly adapted for running on large filesystems with millions of entries and petabytes of data. But you can nonetheless take advantage of all of its features for managing smaller filesystems.
Wisecracker is a high performance distributed cryptanalysis framework that leverages GPUs and multiple CPUs. It allows security researchers to write their own cryptanalysis tools that can distribute brute-force cryptanalysis work across multiple systems with multiple multi-core processors and GPUs. Security researchers can also use the sample tools provided out-of-the-box. The differentiating aspect of Wisecracker is that it uses OpenCL and MPI together to distribute the work across multiple systems, each having multiple CPUs and/or GPUs.
LifeV is a finite element (FE) library providing implementations of state of the art mathematical and numerical methods. It serves both as a research and production library. It has already been used in medical and industrial contexts to simulate fluid structure interaction and mass transport. LifeV is the joint collaboration between four institutions: École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CMCS) in Switzerland, Politecnico di Milano (MOX) in Italy, INRIA (REO, ESTIME) in France, and Emory University (Sc. Comp) in the U.S.A.

Methadone Withdrawal
Need Help With Addiction?
Call Us NOW
Methadone withdrawal will be required sooner or later, after methadone maintenance or a pain management program using methadone has begun. If your feeling enslaved by having to go to a Taft CA clinic or a pharmacy everyday and going through hell if you want to travel, there is a way out.
Methadone use produces a numb feeling to living, significant stomach problems and physical dependency that beats all others; that's the short list. All kinds of other health problems that methadone use produced are uncovered once starting methadone withdrawal. I'll give you some answers to help right now, and further solutions to handle the problem to ending methadone dependency forever.
Methadone Use Is Epidemic
Addictions doctors and pain management clinics in California are busily prescribing methadone for opiate abuse and chronic pain, but what are the consequences of methadone use? I've listed many below. If you've already tried Methadone withdrawal and had problems, I've got some help you wouldn't have found elsewhere.
Once it is time to start methadone withdrawal, many people are having BIG problems ending their methadone usage. How does one withdraw from methadone in Taft California? What challenges will they have to overcome?
Methadone Withdrawal Challenges
- Methadone use makes people unfeeling, numb
- Even stepping down from methadone can expose hyper sensitivity to discomfort and nutritional depletion symptoms — cramping, aches, nervousness, sleeplessness
- Methadone withdrawal is often 4 times longer and more difficult than heroin once the drug has been abused or used incorrectly for long periods of time
- Withdrawing from methadone can give pains and aches which people can mistake for stress and pain from past accidents
I'm writing for those having difficulty with methadone withdrawal. If you are experiencing no problem withdrawing from methadone, don't worry you're one of the lucky ones.
The burden unfortunately lies with the consumer.
Vital: thoroughly research drugs or medications yourself before you purchase or take them. The effects can be gruesome. They also may have dangerous interactive effects when taken with other drugs.
Many if not all of methadone effects are caused by nutritional deficiencies. Methadone use creates nutritional depletion – especially calcium and magnesium depletion. Another is B vitamin deficiency. This is how these deficiencies are manifested.

Methadone Withdrawal Symptoms
- Anxiety over sensations, pains and discomforts returning
- Sleeplessness
- Sneezing
- Cramping of legs and arms
- Bone aches
- Flu or dope sick
Methadone withdrawal will require a lot of extra nutritional supplementation. That means it's time to feed the body. Calcium and magnesium will assist with the cramping etc. But there will be some difficulty many will have taking their nutrients – a bad gut.
Video: Methadone Clinics in Taft
A Bad Gut
Methadone and anxiety meds tend to destroy the gut lining. A leaky gut gives pains when eating or allergies, prone to sickness and skin problems. Another symptom of a leaky gut is irritability and a 'bad attitude'. The attitude can have physical causes unspoken by the person.
A good tip to helping the gut problem is eating lots of good quality yogurt with live probiotics in it, like acidophilus and bifidus. One can also supplement with large quantities of glutathione – an antioxidant to assist the detoxification process.
The quantity of nutrients required during methadone withdrawal is underestimated so often that I shake my head in wonder.
Drugs Like Methadone Are Toxins
The problem with methadone is that it is toxic to the body. Your body knows it, but you may not. Taking methadone challenges your organs to detoxify the body and protect the vital organs before they are badly harmed.
Toxins give the body a hard time. If you've seen drug users with dark circles under their eyes, gray skin, bad skin, hair falling out, low energy, strange ailments, etc. they're got nutritional deficiencies. Those deficiencies are hard to recover from with food alone. Sometimes that food isn't being properly digested = bad gut.
Need Help With Addiction?
Call Us NOW
Methadone Detox
Detoxifying the body is more than simply stopping drug use. Drug abuse creates internal body damage you may not immediately recognize. However, the body will try to detoxify right after drug use and heal itself using any nutrients available. If the nutrients aren't available, the body will borrow (steal) them from the bones, nervous system or other important functions.
Some will require medical detox from methadone – the problem is that most Taft methadone detox centers don't use nutritional supplements as part of their program. They just give more medications, and often not the right ones. The lack of full understanding on Methadone detox creates a brutal scene to withdraw from.
The Good News
The good news is that I've found the tools and the detox centers in CA that can beat methadone withdrawal smoothly and easily.More:

Amazing show. This made my year, it really did. I was jumping for joy when I heard 'R U Mine?' which is currently one of my addictions. God damn, you guys need to come back asap. Please do so.
24.03.12 7:19 pm
8:00 and 6 seconds, Arctic Monkeys come on, I jump from my seat, screaaam as loudly as I can, and as I hear Alex Turner's voice after almost a year, I crumble. That was it, my favorite @#$*!ing band was right there, and I could do nothing about it. I couldn't just @#$*!ing go on stage and tell them how amazing they are, how much they've changed my life, how amazing they are, and how I look up to them. I couldn't. But nevertheless, I @#$*!ing enjoyed it. I was the ONLY ONE in my section standing up and screaming. I was singing every @#$*!ing lyric of every @#$*!ing song. They started with Brianstorm, ended with R U Mine. And everything was perfect (besides my seats) ugh, and those mother @#$*!ing old people/parents all around me, like wtf you doing here?
Hellcat Spangled Shalala: I had to let myself go on this one, or else, I wouldn't have lasted for the rest of the concert. I started crying, sobbing, everything. While singing: "and in a hellcat spangled cavern, when your judgment's down the road, and you're acting like a stranger, cause you thought it looked like fun… " I was like holding on to myself trying not to completely breakdown. I was going crazy in my head, I even like stupidly re-enacted the part: "I took the batteries out my mysticism, and put on my thinking cap" and litterally did the gesture of putting on a 'thinking cap'. Hah, people behind me must have thought I was stupid and a crazy fan, which I AM! Hahhh
Last song…: R U Mine? Alex Turner, I am yours whenever you want, I would stop everything in my WHOLE entire life, I would cancel going into medicine school for you. You are so godly-like, talented, beautiful and everything a person could wish for… Anyways, they played this one beautifully. Just THE perfect way to end their opening. But I was so sad to see them go :'( I could've just ran and followed them, but didn;t want to get kicked out…

Silicones are synthetic compounds that are made from silica, a group of minerals composed of silicon and oxygen. Silicone and silicon are two distinct entities, although many people confuse the two. Silicon (without the e) is the eighth most common element in the universe and is a component of sand, sandstone, dust and other natural materials. Silicone is made synthetically from silica, and silica is composed of silicon and oxygen.
To make silicone, silica is polymerized with other compounds including tetraethoxysilane and chlorsilanes. The final product is pure and typically doesn't contain harmful contaminants or heavy metals. Silicones have a variety of textures and consistencies. Some are liquid or gelatinous while others are firm and feel like rubber or hard plastic.
Silicones have a large number of commercial applications and are a component in a variety of household and industrial products. Hardware stores sell tubes of silicone to create weatherproof, waterproof seals for pipes and other joints. In addition, silicone is used to form casings for electronic devices, as flame retardants, as lubricants, to insulate spark plugs, as defoamers and to seal aquarium joints. Silicone is also a component in home and kitchen products. For example, it's used to make molds for molding candy, muffins and other food products, and food-grade silicone is used to make non-stick cookware. Silicone has the advantage of being stable even at high temperatures, and it's resistant to stains.
Silicone also has a place in the medical world where it's used to make implants, including breast implants and medical-surgical devices. It's also used to make bandages and wound dressings. To be placed inside or on the body, silicones must be medical grade. Soft silicone dressings are used to cover wounds and protect them during the healing process, and silicone gel sheeting is used to reduce the risk of elevated scars or keloids after surgery.
Silicones are also ingredients in cosmetic and personal care products. They're added to moisturizers and anti-aging skin care products because of their emollient or moisturizing properties and because they improve the "feel" of cosmetic products, giving them a silkier texture. One type of silicone called cyclomethicones act as solvents in cosmetic products. Silicones also increase the ability of pigments in cosmetics to spread over the skin so it gives cosmetic products more uniform coverage. This makes them a useful addition to makeup foundations and products formulated to cover blemishes. When they're added to sunscreen products, sunscreen goes on more evenly. This increases the effectiveness of sunscreens by reducing "gaps" during sunscreen application and by keeping the product from rubbing off too easily.
Silicones in foundations and moisturizing products provide a thin but "breathable" layer over the skin that reduces moisture loss without feeling heavy. Contrary to popular belief, silicones don't clog pores since they're inert and can't penetrate beneath the skin surface.
Silicones, including cyclomethicone, dimethicone, amodimethicone and diemthicone copolyol, are common ingredients in hair care products that are formulated to increase hair softness and shine. They do this by coating and sticking to the hair shaft. This fills in damaged areas, giving hair a smoother texture and the ability to reflect light better. They also reduce porosity and makes hair easier to manage.
Some people believe silicones in hair care products build up over time and can weigh hair down, causing it to feel greasy and look lifeless. One way to avoid this is to use products that contain light-weight, silicones that dissolve easily in water like dimethicone copolyol or cyclomethicone rather than heavier ones that are more likely to build-up like amodimethicone and dimethicone. Using a clarifying shampoo regularly also helps to reduce silicone build-up.
Is silicone in cosmetic and personal care products safe? Silicones are inert. Even though they're made synthetically, they're pure and shouldn't be contaminated with heavy metals or other harmful ingredients. Since they're inert, they don't penetrate beneath the skin surface or enter the bloodstream. They also typically don't cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. The FDA deems them to be safe in the quantities found in cosmetic and personal care products. Most allergies to silicone are related to other ingredients in the product – not silicone.

Democratic Senators Block Republican-led Net Neutrality Repeal
Jason Mick
November 11, 2011 9:11 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Even if the repeal had passed the Senate, President Obama had promised to veto it
After months of threats and debating, the Republican leadership in Congress moved forward with plans to block the
U.S. Federal Communication Commission
(FCC) from
rolling out basic net neutrality rules
, which prevent landline internet carriers from throttling the user's connection,
charging on a per website basis
, or engaging in other tactics designed to slow some sites' load times and speed others' up.
I. Republicans Push for Net Neutrality Ban
As Republicans control the House of Representatives, the key battleground in the repeal effort would be the Senate.
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison
(R-Texas) sponsored the repeal resolution, S.J. Res. 6.
Sen. Hutchinson took a hard stance, arguing that ISPs should be allowed to charge users on a per-site basis and throttle as they wish, without regulation. She comments, "The internet and technology have produced more jobs in this country than just about any other sector. It has been the cradle of innovation, it does not have a problem, and it does not need fixing."
Others in her party took a softer approach.
Sen. Olympia Snowe
(R-Maine) wrote a "dear colleague" letter to her fellow Republicans. In it she wrote that she felt that net neutrality regulation
necessary to protect consumer abuse. But she argued the proper place for it was through the Senate, not the FCC.
But if "pro-net neutrality" Republicans senators had an alternative plan they failed to propose it in concrete form. And it was unclear when or if a replacement to the current rules would be drafted if repeal was pass -- or for that matter whether a net neutrality bill could past muster in the House and Senate given many Republicans absolute opposition to anything standing in the way of ISPs' efforts to increase profits by cutting back and restructuring regional internet services.
The hardline Republicans like Sen. Hutchinson who flatly opposed any regulation argued that regulation would kill jobs. Sen. Hutchinson
pointed to industry studies
that claimed net neutrality regulation would slow infrastructure deployment, and by proxy reduce jobs.
The Republican-controlled House had
passed a net neutrality repeal measure
in February 2011.
President Obama threatened to veto S.J. Res. 6
II. Democrats Warn That Repeal Would Kill Innovation, Free Speech
The repeal had Democratic President Barack Obama concerned enough that he
threatened to veto the bill
[PDF] if it should pass, with his office writing in a release, "If the President is presented with S.J. Res. 6, which would not safeguard the free and open Internet, his senior advisers would recommend that he veto the Resolution."
But this dramatic game of political theater end rather mundanely as the Democratic majority in the Senate rallied together in opposition of the resolution.
Sen. John "Jay" Rockefeller IV
, the great-grandson of famous oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, led the opposition commenting:
There's still 53 of us, and if we stay together we'll win. I think we're going to prevail. Even if they don't, they'll still have the backing of the White House, which has already threatened to veto the resolution, should it survive past the Senate floor. It would be ill-advised to threaten the very foundations of innovation in the Internet economy and the democratic spirit that has made the Internet a force for social progress around the world.
III. Wednesday's Fiery Debate
Here's some video coverage of Wednesday's debate, which preceded a vote:
Democratic Perspective (~3 min)
Republican perspective (~17 min, but starts off strong)
IV. Democrats Emerge Triumphant
Sen. Rockefeller's stand paid off. The final vote was tallied yesterday and showed all 52 Democrats voting opposing the measure, and all 46 Republicans voting in favor of the measure. The bill was thus defeated, clearing the way for the FCC's new net neutrality rules to go into effect next week.
Two senators did not vote --
Sen. John McCain
(R-Ariz.) and
Senator Dan Inouye
(D-Haw.). It appears that Sen. Inouye was
at an event in Washington, D.C.
honoring a Japanese veteran of World War II. It was unclear why John McCain -- who had
previously led the charge against net neutrality
-- did not vote.
V. Legal Challenges Remain
The rejection of the repeal resolution now leaves the various lawsuits against the rules as the only thing standing in their way. Interestingly, advocacy groups have also opposed the rules claiming they do not go far enough, and unfairly exempt mobile devices from their provisions. Several groups have pursued legal action.
The Media Access Project
, who had been suing on the grounds of the lax approach to mobile regulation, dropped its legal action after it saw its case assigned to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Policy Director Andrew Jay Schwartzman
that his organization feared a hostile atmosphere in that particular court would kill the case. He comments, "The D.C. Circuit Court is a very hostile forum. [It would be a] very close case."
That leaves The Free Press, who is suing on similar grounds. Strangely The Free Press's President and CEO Craig Aaron -- leading the suit
the rules -- cheered the Democratic success in block their repeal in the Senate. He comments, "The Senate sent a strong signal today to would-be gatekeepers that the free and open internet needs to stay that way. The American public doesn't want phone and cable companies undercutting competition, deciding which websites will work or censoring what people can do online."
Most public advocacy groups lauded the vote, while saying the rules still should be extended farther. Among them is the
American Civil Liberties Union
. In a post entitled "It Was Close, But We Won: Viva Net Neutrality!" ACLU Washington, D.C. staffer Sandra Fulton
Though the FCC's rules are not great, they do offer some protections for net neutrality on the wired Internet and overturning them would have been a huge setback for free speech on the web. During debate on the Senate floor yesterday supporters of the resolution railed against government regulation while opponents defended the rules saying they were necessary to maintain the openness and innovation that has allowed the Internet to thrive.
On the other side of the spectrum, there's also a suit from Verizon Wireless, the joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. (
) and Vodafone Group Plc. (
). It's hard to understand why Verizon
decided to sue the FCC
, given that the Commission's proposal
closely mirrors
that which a Verizon - Google, Inc. (
pact proposed in Aug. 2010
. The rules offer virtually no regulation on mobile internet service providers -- just as Verizon requested.
Verizon's lawsuit will be heard in the Spring or Summer. In the meantime Verizon could request in court that the rules be suspended pending the outcome of the lawsuit. The FCC has already taken a preemptive strike,
moving to dismiss Verizon's lawsuit
on legal technicalities.
The Democratic-majority FCC under the Obama administration has been quite busy. It is currently in the process of finalizing a spectrum auction, an effort carriers laud but some TV broadcaster loathe. It's also assisting the
U.S. Department of Justice
in its case against AT&T, Inc. (
) who is trying to engulf T-Mobile USA -- a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG (
) -- a move which would
grant it a virtual monopoly on 3G GSM technology
in the U.S.
The White House
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

Putting Health Insurance on the Menu: Print Preview
The Rundown
- Some credit unions share fears about new health care law.
- Private exchange targets CUs for more coverage access.
- Colorado CU sees CUSO alliance as an opportunity to compete.
When the tiny Saguache County Credit Union, plagued by losses for several years, was finally liquidated last spring, its 3,185 members faced not having another financial institution in the area to serve them.
Through a purchase and assumption agreement, the $150 million Aventa Credit Union took over the $17 million cooperative after a conservatorship that had been in place since July 2011 and the subsequent liquidation by the Colorado Division of Financial Services in March 2012.
Greg Mills, president/CEO of Aventa, said Saguache County CU was located in one of the lowest-income counties in the state of Colorado. With its demise, residents here belonging to 6,500 households had no options to turn to.
It wasn't on his radar at the time but as the countdown to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act implementation deadline approached, Mills started thinking about how Aventa could offer a health care service provider to the former members of Saguache as well as Aventa's more than 20,000 members.
At a conference hosted by data system and technology solutions provider EPL Inc., in Birmingham, Ala., Mills listened to a pitch for the Credit Union Exchange Blueprint, a new private exchange for credit unions and members that provides online access to insurance carriers and a resource for the upcoming health care reform requirements.
"I was thinking, who would come to credit unions for this, and then I thought, well, they come to us for a lot of things such as investments, health savings accounts and IRAs because they see us a trusted financial institution," Mills reasoned. He emphasized that the partnership with CUEB was not primarily motivated by the credit union's takeover of Saguache.
So Aventa signed on with CUEB. The exchange will train and educate credit union personnel and members, provide all of the tools and technology, as well as supply marketing materials. Access via a custom branded Web portal allows around the clock member access and is tied to a call center for answers to questions on insurance and guidance on selecting the proper coverage.
Credit unions will also have entry to many health insurance products in the marketplace and the assistance to facilitate the transition on behalf of credit union members and employees.
Wayne Benson, president/CEO of EPL, said over the next three years, there will be a significant change in how people buy and gain access to insurance. Currently, 145 million Americans are provided health insurance through their employers, he pointed out. Roughly 185 million consumers are estimated to receive coverage through the acquisition of personal policies.
"With the transformation occurring, we believe that credit unions can replace employers in that role of being trusted advisers to help consumers with access to products and services," Benson said.
CUEB will work with Health Partners America, a Birmingham, Ala.-based company that provides insurance brokers with the tools, training and technology to help businesses deliver health coverage. The firm said its private health insurance exchange has implemented more than 100 arrangements.
The way it works after a credit union signs on to CUEB, is members click on a customized platform via their credit union's website to choose the type of insurance coverage they prefer: health, life, car or homeowner. Once they find a carrier and coverage, they can either apply online or contact CUEB's call center for assistance. After the member enrolls, they pay their coverage costs directly to the carrier. CUEB is licensed to offer insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Regarding the revenue split between CUEB and the credit union, Benson said there are two approaches. Through the licensed agreement approach, credit unions work directly with CUEB with a direct revenue share. With the non-licensed approach, meaning if the credit union or CUSO is not licensed to offer insurance, it can't share in revenue. In this case, Benson said CUEB will pay the credit union a member access fee. Regardless of the approach, they get a new stream of revenue, he added.
EPL has been engaged with more than 100 credit unions and a number of them are discussing possible partnerships with CUEB, Benson said. He anticipates having 25 charter credit union members for the private exchange by the end of the year. Still, he acknowledged, there is some skepticism about the new entity.
"The feelings from credit union leaders are not unlike a lot of leaders across the country. We have a law that is being implemented that is still undefined. The greatest fear is the fear of the unknown," Benson explained. "Some feel there's a lack of clarity from the government–and that's from both parties."
Cathy Hulsey, vice president of human resources at EPL, said while her HR peers are mostly familiar with the new health reform law, some credit unions and people in general, view it as a foreign language.
"The law itself is five inches thick. But one thing I can assure is that it's happening and those who choose to be an ostrich and bury their hand in the sand, the opportunities will pass them by," Hulsey said. "We don't see this as something fearful. I think employers, once they understand it, will embrace it."
With the new CUEB alliance, Mills said this will be the first time that Aventa has offered a health insurance access option to its members. However, the credit union's 70 employees have what he describes as a robust health plan that includes dental and other services with the cooperative picking up the entire tab for coverage. Part-time employees also get partial coverage and pay a difference. All of that could change if there's an increase in plan costs. So far, Mills has had to cut back on part-time hours because of the impact of the PPACA.
"If health care rises to between 20% and 30%, which is what I've seen estimates of, I couldn't handle that," Mills said.
Aventa's current carrier saw the impact of new health reform law about three years ago and started an avenue that led to an exchange option, Mills recalled. The credit union is currently working on a study looking at coverage costs and the multiple national, private and independent exchanges.
"So much of this is the unknown. We're certainly not trying to get out there and muddy the water," Mills said. "We want to help members with the fear of the unknown."
Benson said this is exactly where credit unions can have an edge, particularly before the Oct. 1 date when the federal government will open up exchanges, to offer subsidies to the estimated 50 million uninsured Americans who can also start signing up for state-run health insurance.
"There are a lot of people out there that really want Obamacare to go away. It's not going to occur," Benson said. "We're trying to help credit unions position themselves on the front end."

The Colorado Senate this week is scheduled to begin debating revised policies for prescribed fire on state forest lands.
The impetus for the revision is the Lower North Fork Fire. It began as a plan to burn 35 acres in order to forestall larger wildfires that could destabilize soil in the watershed above Denver Water's reservoirs. An ember apparently blew across the fireline, three people died in the fire, and 23 homes and more than 4,000 acres ultimately burned.
In the aftermath of the Lower North Fork Fire, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper placed a moratorium on prescribed burns by state agencies, and the state government no longer claims immunity from lawsuits over such fires when they grow out of control. Southwest Colorado's own Sen. Ellen Roberts has done good, and hard, work on the Lower North Fork Wildfire Commission, and Senate Bill 13-083 is one result of that effort.
In 2002, the Cerro Grande Fire in northern New Mexico, also an out-of-control prescribed fire (this time within a national nomument, not on state land) burned 40,000 acres and destroyed 250 homes in Los Alamos, the site of national laboratories for nuclear research. According to news reports, the Park Service responded by instituting new rules, including more extensive review of burn plans.
A frequent accusation as the Lower North Fork Fire burned was that state foresters had "not checked the weather forecast." Colorado's spring weather is notoriously fickle, a fact fire managers know better than most people, but the broader truth behind that complaint is that every time a prescribed fire blows up, it's because someone misjudged the risk it posed.
A fair question, then, is whether it's possible, in Colorado's drought- and beetle-stricken forests, to know enough to make the right judgment.
The threat is certainly not limited to fires lit and managed by government personnel. Every year, private controlled burns go wrong in Montezuma County, endangering property and lives, especially the lives of firefighters. Almost none of those fires were begun carelessly. The wind changed, the weather report turned out to have been wrong or not relevant to the specific location, the fuels were drier or more explosive than expected, somebody stepped away or turned away - any number of things can go wrong, and when the wildlands are as dry as they have been in recent years, a small error in judgment can be quickly amplified into a loss of life.
It makes sense, then, that the state should establish clear responsibilities for prescribed burns, especially on public lands. There's nothing in the bill that would restrict the way private landowners use fire on their own lands, but landowners who are certified as a burn manager under the state's program, or who hire someone who is, would not be liable for "any civil damages for acts or omissions made in good faith resulting in damage or injury caused by fire or smoke from prescribed burns they conduct on their own property and in compliance with applicable state laws and local ordinances," unless their actions are wilfully and grossly negligent.
Linking training and good practices with reduced liability is a good start by the state. Locally, as the burn season begins, the community can emphasize the strong possibility that controlled burns will not remain controlled and encourage the training and techniques that will reduce the threat. No fire will ever be perfectly safe, but we can do better than simply shrugging when another one roars past its fireline.

DUI dismissal limits role of Border Patrol
Associated Press
MONTPELIER -- The dismissal of a drunken driving charge against a Vermont woman detained by two border agents on a state road not far from the Canadian border highlights the growing federal role in state law enforcement, the woman's lawyer says.
Defense Attorney David Sleigh says such cases are becoming more common because there are more federal agents working along the border. They have broad power to enforce federal law, but they also regularly assist in state cases.
"It limits what might otherwise be unfettered search and seizure powers of Border Patrol agents and limits their authority to the confines of state law," Sleigh said of last month's ruling dismissing the charges against his client. "Without this decision a Border Patrol could say, 'I want to stop this car for any reason or no reason because I can and hold it because there might be a state law violation."'
The case began on June 7, when a uniformed Customs and Border Protection officer on his way to work at the border noticed a car parked by the side of the road in Newport with the driver apparently asleep inside. The driver, Meaghan Leary, 29, of Derby, told the agent she was not in distress and didn't need help.
Yet the agent took her keys and demanded identification. The officer then called a Border Patrol agent, who arrived a short time later. The two agents kept Leary there until a state trooper arrived and arrested her on a DUI charge.
On Aug. 20 Vermont Superior Court Judge Howard Van Benthuysen dismissed the charge because he ruled the agents did not have the grounds to detain Leary and there was no suspicion Leary had committed a federal crime.
Orleans County State's Attorney Alan Franklin said Friday he wouldn't appeal. He said the circumstances surrounding the case were unique and would be unlikely to apply in other cases.
"There are enough distinguishing factors that this incident seems to be an anomaly in the things we get from Border Patrol or the customs guys," Franklin said.
Sleigh says there have been similar cases in other parts of the country. He pointed to a case decided by 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in California in which the court dismissed drug charges against a man stopped by Border Patrol agents 70 miles north of the Mexican border on the grounds the agents didn't have grounds to stop him.
Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman Shelbe Benson-Fuller didn't respond directly to the circumstances of the Leary case, but she said the agency is committed to ensuring public safety in the areas where its agents operate.
"We have and will continue to work diligently with law enforcement partners at all levels in securing our borders, reducing crime and improving the quality of life in our communities on both sides of the border," she said in an emailed statement.
In many states, border agents are given state law enforcement authority. In Vermont, federal agents can be certified as state officers if they complete a course at the Vermont Police Academy and are certified by the commissioner of Public Safety.
It's unclear if the agents who detained Leary had that certification.
Customs and Border Protection agents regularly help enforce state laws along the border. In many cases along remote sections of the border, Border Patrol agents are the first to arrive at the scenes of accidents or crimes.

What about rape makes politicians so inclined to open their mouths and make offensive comments?
This time the speaker was a Colorado Democrat, state Rep. Joe Salazar, who, in a debate about concealed carry on college campuses, was making a point about safety.
"It's why we have call boxes, it's why we have safe zones, it's why we have the whistles. Because you just don't know who you're gonna be shooting at. And you don't know if you feel like you're gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone's been following you around, or if you feel like you're in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you ... pop a round at somebody."
Salazar's basic point is a legitimate one. Anyone who carries a gun for defense must be able to identify accurately the line between feeling threatened and actually being in danger.
It may be logical to speculate that individuals who know they cannot overpower an assailant by other means or reach safety quickly would be more inclined to see shooting as the best or only option.
And it's fair to assume that Salazar didn't mean to imply that women's concern for their personal safety renders them more likely than men to "pop a round at somebody" who just happens to be walking past.
But rape is a subject that deserves to be treated with more understanding than male politicians have displayed lately.
Women fear rape because it happens. It happens despite call boxes, safe zones and whistles. It happens despite keys protruding from fists, self-defense classes and pepper spray. Nearly every woman has been a victim of sexual violence or knows someone who has.
That reality causes fear, not because women are paranoid but because they are realistic, not because rape is a fate worse than death but because it's a terrible crime.
Salazar didn't say, "You can't have a gun, honey, because you might pop somebody." He probably didn't mean to sound as flippant as he did.
Former Missouri congressman and Senate candidate Todd Akin probably didn't mean to sound as offensive and ignorant as he did when he opined that women who are victims of "legitimate rape" rarely conceive because their bodies somehow repel rapists' sperm. Former Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock probably didn't intend to imply that God chose some women to be impregnated by rapists. Who knows what former Wisconsin state Rep. Roger Rivard meant to accomplish by suggesting that "some girls rape easy"? Joe Salazar should note the word "former" before each of those names. Condescension toward rape victims is a lousy political strategy.
The long list of ill-considered comments about rape victims demonstrates, first of all, a lack of understanding of the crime and its aftermath, as well as an endemic lack of consideration for women in general.
To hint that women who feel unsafe on campus are paranoid, because after all, they have those call boxes, is to hint that they are not capable of understanding what's going on around them.
Rape should never, never be invoked as a political strategy, especially a partisan one. Patronizing rhetoric about imagined risks is no better than the suggestion that unarmed women have not taken responsibility for their own safety.
Politicians who cannot accurately portray the reality of rape should find another crime to highlight in their speechifying.

Why migrate to DDR4?
3 comments
When JEDEC Solid State Technology Association announced the initial publication of its widely anticipated DDR4 SDRAM standard, JESD79-4, the voluminous document described the DDR4 SDRAM device in exacting detail. However, JESD79-4 was not intended as a tutorial on system design or to provide explanations as to if and how specific system designs should be migrated to utilize DDR4 SDRAM devices, so its left to the readers to imagine the possible advantages of the technology at the system level. Consequently, a knowledge gap exists between the presentation of the technical details in JESD79-4 and understanding the underlying motivations and rationale that led to the standard. In an attempt to bridge that knowledge gap, lets explain some of the purpose of the DDR4 SDRAM device, and frame it in the context of system level trends.[1] By understanding the underlying motivations of the DDR4 SDRAM device specification, engineers and program managers can better decide whether or not their current and future designs should migrate to support DDR4 SDRAM devices.
The DDR4 SDRAM device is an evolutionary device that improves upon the DDR3 SDRAM generation in terms of capacity, performance scalability, power efficiency, as well as system-level reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS). At the same time, DDR4 must minimize changes that hinder design migration and adoption of the new industry-standard component.
Lets explore the distinctions between DDR3 and DDR4, how the latter enhances system-level capacity and performance scalability, and DDR4s various innovations that improve power efficiency. Then well look at the various techniques designed into a DDR4 SDRAM device that improve system-level RAS. Finally, well address the challenges of migrating DDR3 memory systems to DDR4 SDRAM.
Improved capacity and performance scalability
One subtle and yet important difference that distinguishes the two is that DDR4 is organized differently from DDR3specifically in the area of how DDR4 is designed to support high-speed multi-core processors. The 8-Gb DDR4 SDRAM device with 4-bit-wide data bus interface (x4), for example, is internally organized as a device with four bank groups and four banks in each bank group. Within each bank in the 8-Gb x4 DDR4 SDRAM device, there are 131,072 (217) rows, with 512 bytes of DRAM cells per row. Compared to the 8-Gb x4 DDR3 SDRAM device, which has eight independent banks, 65536 (216) rows per bank, and 2048 bytes per row, the 8-Gb x4 DDR4 SDRAM device has more banks.[2] Moreover, the 8-Gb x4 DDR4 SDRAM device has significantly smaller row sizes than the 8-Gb x4 DDR3 SDRAM device, meaning that the 8-Gb x4 DDR4 SDRAM device can cycle through different banks at a far higher rate than could the 8-Gb x4 DDR3 SDRAM device.[3]
A comparison of a DDR3 LRDIMM to a DDR4 RDIMM shows that the largest DDR3 SDRAM module may be constructed with quad die packages (QDP) of 8Gb x4 DRAM devices, reaching a theoretical maximum capacity of 128GB for a single-memory module (see figure 1). Figure 1 also shows that a DDR4 RDIMM may be constructed with upwards of eight-high DRAM stacks[5], supporting a theoretical maximum capacity of 512 GB per module. Furthermore, this diagram illustrates that the pin count on the DDR4 memory module has been increased to 284 pins, to support the higher addressing capability, as well as a 1:1 signal-to-ground ratio for the data bus (DQ) interface signals. Overall, figure highlights a few of the component and module-level changes that enable the DDR4 memory module to simultaneously support higher capacity and higher performance than the DDR3 memory module.

Improved power efficiency
Another major area that the DDR4 SDRAM specification targeted for improvement over the DDR3 SDRAM specification is in the area of power efficiency. Aside from further reducing the DRAM I/O voltage (VDDQ) from 1.35 V used by DDR3L DRAM devices to 1.2 V, the DDR4 SDRAM device also specifies that a separate VPP voltage supply be provided to support high DRAM core word line voltage requirements[6]. The data I/O electrical interface signaling has been changed from series-stub terminated logic (SSTL) to pseudo-open drain (POD). A comparison of DDR3-style SSTL signaling to DDR4-style POD signaling highlights how the output driver drives electrical high, and the SSTL circuit incurs the cost of the I2 drive current, as well as the I1 termination current due to the center tapped termination (CTT).
In contrast, the DDR4-style POD signaling incurs no current flow in the case of driving electrical high.[7] Collectively, the reduced VDDQ voltage, the use of VPP supply for boosted word line voltage, the change to POD signaling and VDDQ termination, and the previously discussed smaller row sizes that reduce activation currents lead to significant reductions in power consumption for DDR4 when compared to DDR3 SDRAM. Preliminary analysis suggests that at comparable operating data rates, a DDR4 SDRAM device has a 30% advantage in power efficiency compared to a DDR3 SDARM device.[8] That improvement can be used to operate the DDR4 SDRAM device at higher speeds, thus attaining higher performance or reduced power consumption at comparable performance levels.

Here's what I think is the real reason behind the attack on Konoha by a 15-16 year old Obito.
Objectives :
Primary Objective - The elimination of Kushina Uzumaki.
Secondary Objectives - Unleash Kurama on the leaf.
Reasons :
1. Rin's death :
Obito who Loved Rin almost all his life and saw her death by his very own eye. Now we know that he entrusted his Sharingan to Kakashi in order to protect Rin and we know what happened -
2. Minato's Lack of Responsibility :
Though Zetsu said that Minato was busy with other Mission Obito is visibly pissed on his Sensei :
3. Why Blame it on Minato?? :
Remember how Tobi had detailed knowledge on Minato's FTG [He was fooled by FTG Level 2]. I believe he thought that Minato had S/T so he could've saved Rin [After all he saw Minato giving his FTG Kunai to Kakashi] so it plausible that he made that assumption that Minato could've saved her if he wanted to but he didn't.
Here we see Tobi talking about FTG -
the same tech that had failed to save his Rin so he would've liked nothing better than Killing Kushina and FTG failing in saving her and yes the Minato failed to make it in time.
The Plan and its execution :
Here we see that Obito succeeded in completing the Primary Objective of his Plan. He knew that extraction of bijju means death -
He Immediately went into the Leaf Village and summoned Kurama. And Kurama started doing his thing i.e. Destroying everything. But before that He saw Minato coming and taking Kushina away -
Focus on how he says Gone Again, No Matter. Now if his primary objective was to destroys Konoha he'd have followed Minato and made sure that he gets eliminated first but it didn't matter because his Mission was almost complete!
We know that Minato then came and sent a TBB away but Obito couldn't fight the urge to have a go at his sensei, I mean he came for Kushina and that's what the trigger was and that's why he attacked Minato.
Here we can see he wants to end Minato and that's why the Avenger-Obito speaks YOU will face ME!
We know how that Fight went. What I believe that 15 year old Obito with a Zetsu shell and newly acquired Kamui knew that he couldn't beat his Sensei and that's why his mission avoided fighting Minato [Plus there was a chance of Minato finding about his Identity as well] but the events that happened in the execution process triggered the fight.
In that fight Minato asked him whether he was Madara and that's when Obito spoke of Madara's Ideology -
After the fight Obito left with bold statements and no regrets [his mission was a success] but he also said that Minato deserves the title of the 4th Hokage.
Theory about Obito's S/T Ninjutsu :
WE know that Obito can use the S/T via his Kamui [or his Kamui is his s/t ninjutsu] but its said that for S/T ninjutsu you need Marking and Obito seems to pull it off without it.
Kakashi even said that His s/t surpasses Minato's. Heck Minato said that Obito's S/T surpasses his own as well as Tobirama's -
But the answer is -
This bastard is all over the place -
In short Zetsu has an underground Network [Like a Subway ] and that's why Obito can go to anywhere if there's a zetsu checkpoint. And that's why he doesn't necessarily need the Marking or Seals to teleport and that's why his S/T is superior to Minato's and Tobirama's.
Summary :
1. Obito's main objective was to kill Kushina and Secondary was to unleash Kurama on the leaf.
2. His objective also included avoiding direct fight with Minato [fear of being recognized] but the course of events that happened he attacked Minato.

Generating power from resources that don't create pollution is a major area of research around the world. The more power we can create from methods that have low pollution and don't require fossil fuels, the less we as a nation will have to rely of foreign oil.
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have unveiled a new method of capturing more heat from low-temperature geothermal resources. According to the researchers, this type of geothermal resource is capable of generating pollution-free electrical energy.
The researchers are working to determine if the new method can safely and economically extract and convert heat from the geothermal resources into electricity. The ultimate goal of the project is to be able to produce electricity without generating greenhouse gas emissions and tap a currently unused underground geothermal resource.
PNNL Laboratory Fellow Pete McGrail said, "By the end of the calendar year, we plan to have a functioning bench-top prototype generating electricity. If successful, enhanced geothermal systems like this could become an important energy source."
According to an analysis conducted at MIT, the new power generating method cold produce 10% of the energy needed by the U.S. by 2050. The new process uses a special liquid that the researchers developed called a biphasic fluid. When the fluid is exposed to heat brought to the surface from water circulating through moderately hot underground rock the biphasic fluid undergoes a thermal cycling.
This thermal cycling can be harnessed to power a turbine that generates electricity. The scientists have developed a nanostructured metal-organic heat carrier called MOHCs that are able to boost the capacity of the generators to levels near that of steam cycle. The advancement was discovered while working on an unrelated project at the labs.
McGrail said, "Some novel research on nanomaterials used to capture carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels actually led us to this discovery. Scientific breakthroughs can come from some very unintuitive connections."

The battery is one of those ubiquitous devices that most of us use in our everyday lives and never think much about. Everything from your car to your notebook to your cell phone uses a battery of some sort. With the need to move to greener methods to power vehicles, much research is being conducted on technologies that will make batteries better.
A group of researchers from MIT has announced that they were able to construct a battery using a common type of virus that is not harmful to humans called a bacteriophage. Angela Belcher, lead researcher on the team said that the new battery could one day be used to power electronics and even electric cars.
The battery was described in the April 2 online edition of Science. According to the researchers, the battery could be produced cheaply and would be environmentally benign thanks to the fact that the process can be produced at below room temperature and requires no harsh organic solvents and the materials used in the battery construction are non-toxic.
Materials used in traditional lithium-ion batteries can't claim to be environmentally friendly. In a traditional battery, the negatively charged anode is typically made form graphite and the positively charged cathode is usually cobalt oxide or lithium-ion phosphate.
MIT reports that three years ago, Belcher led a team that was able to construct an anode from viruses. The viruses were coaxed into coating themselves with cobalt oxide and gold. After the coating process, the viruses assembled themselves into a nanowire.
The latest announcement comes after the team was able to complete what the researchers say is the more complicated process of building a powerful cathode to pair up with the anode. Cathodes are reportedly more difficult to build because they have to be highly conducting, but most materials appropriate for a cathode are highly insulating.
Members of the research team were able to create the cathode by genetically engineering viruses that coat themselves with iron phosphate and then grab carbon nanotubes to create a network of highly conductive material.
The viruses are engineered to bind to specific materials only. The carbon nanotubes in the team's cathode and each iron phosphate nanowire can be electrically connected to a conducting carbon nanotube network allowing electrons to travel through the nanotube networks and transfer energy in a short time.
The researchers say that adding the carbon nanotubes to the battery adds very little weight and increased the cathode's conductivity. The researchers say that in experiments the cathode material could be charged and discharged at least 100 times before losing its capacity. The team points out that 100 cycles is less than current lithium-ion batteries, but the virus-powered batteries are expected to last longer between charges.
A prototype battery was packaged into a standard coin battery form factor and used to power an LED light. The prototype was shown to President Obama when MIT President Susan Hockfield talked to Obama about the need for funding to advance clean-energy technologies.
The team says their next plan is to create a battery with materials offering higher voltage and capacitance like manganese phosphate and nickel phosphate. Once the next generation of virus battery is ready, they could go into commercial production. Researchers at MIT working on another project announced last month that they created a battery that could recharge in seconds.

Free-agent guard Jonny Flynn worked out with the Cavaliers on Monday and performed well for General Manager Chris Grant and coach Byron Scott, according to an NBA source. Flynn (6-0, 185) played in 29 games for Portland and Houston last season, averaging 4.5 points and 3.3 assists. He could serve as a backup point guard to Kyrie Irving, thought that slot also could be filled by Donald Sloan, who finished last season in that position. Sloan performed well in the Cavaliers' summer league game Monday, leading a fourth-quarter rally and finishing with 19 points on 5-for-8 shooting.
Flynn also is considering Chicago, Atlanta, Toronto and Orlando, according to an NBA source.

Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
JOHANNESBURG. 21 February 2014. South African Airways (SAA), Africa's leading airline, today announced that it has accepted Qantas's decision to conclude their long standing code share agreement effective 31 May 2014.
SAA has been flying to Sydney for more than 27 years before the code share with Qantas was put in place in October 2000 following the strategic decision for SAA to stop operating between Johannesburg and Sydney with its own aircraft and to begin code sharing with Qantas.
"Australia and New Zealand remain important markets for SAA and its customers and although we no longer operate flights ourselves to Sydney, we will maintain our presence in the country through our own operations to Perth and all of our established partnerships," says Kendy Phohleli, SAA General Manager Commercial (Acting).
SAA customers will continue to have the opportunity to travel on the service between Johannesburg and Sydney, through our gateway in Perth, which will offer a daily service.
"We have always worked well with Qantas and together we are looking at a smooth transition for the benefit of our respective clients which are both business and leisure travellers," Phohleli said.
SAA code share flights on Qantas' Sydney operation will be closed off for sale on 21 February 2014. No further bookings will be made for travel after 1 June 2014.
All SAA ticketed code share passengers on the Qantas flight will be accommodated onto the Qantas flight number QF064 and QF063 and transported to their final destination. Such re-accommodation will be communicated to all SAA offices and all our travel partners with ticketed passengers of the appropriate procedure to follow so as to ensure no or minimal inconvenience to our leisure and business travellers.
All SAA unticketed code share passengers who had booked SA7700 and SA7701 on Johannesburg-Sydney-Johannesburg will be re-accommodated on SAA's Perth operations with the ticketing agent using the most convenient option available for the onward connection to Sydney that is permitted within the conditions of the fare conditions.
Further information is available at www.flysaa.com, through travel agents, the airlines' sales offices, or South African Airways' call centre at +27 11 978 1111.
South African Airways (SAA), Africa's most awarded airline, operates to 40 destinations worldwide.
In its domestic market SAA has an extensive schedule operating 556 flights in total per week between Johannesburg – Cape Town, Durban, East London and Port Elizabeth, from its Johannesburg hub, as well as code-shared flights between Lanseria – Cape Town and Durban. SAA offers more frequencies than any other airline in South Africa.
Regionally, SAA offers 24 destinations across the African continent including Abidjan, Accra, Blantyre, Brazzaville, Cotonou, Dakar, Dar es Salaam, Douala, Entebbe, Harare, Kinshasa, Lagos, Libreville, Lilongwe, Livingstone, Luanda, Lusaka, Maputo, Mauritius, Nairobi, Ndola, Pointe Noire, Victoria Falls and Windhoek.
SAA's international network creates links to all major continents from South Africa through 11 direct routes and code shares, with daily flights from Johannesburg to London (Heathrow), Frankfurt, Munich, Mumbai, Perth, Hong Kong, Beijing, New York, Washington, Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires. SAA has codes share agreements with 27 other airlines across the markets it serves. The airline has extended its code share agreement with Mango, its low cost operator, to also include coastal cities in South Africa (between Johannesburg and Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth and George), as well as Johannesburg – Bloemfontein; Cape Town - Bloemfontein and Cape Town - Port Elizabeth.
SAA's core business is the provision of passenger airline and cargo transport services together with related services, which are provided through SAA and its four wholly owned subsidiaries: SAA Technical; Mango its low cost carrier; Air Chefs, the catering entity of SAA and South African Travel Centre (SATC).
SAA is a Star Alliance member which offers more than 21,900 daily flights to 1,328 airports in 195 countries. SAA is the winner of the 'Best Airline in Africa' Award in the regional category for eleven consecutive years. Mango and SAA hold the number one and number two successive spots as South Africa's most on-time airlines.

Judge Michael J. Davis barred Recording Industry Association of America President Cary Sherman from testifying in Capitol Records v. Jammie Thomas, the
first RIAA lawsuit to go to jury trial. With Sherman struck from the witness
list, testimony wrapped up Wednesday and a decision is expected today.
"I don't want to turn this case into a soap box for the recording industry,"
said Thomas' counsel Brian Toder. RIAA lawyers argued that Sherman could
provide valuable testimony to the jury over the case's significance and the
harm the RIAA has suffered due to piracy.
Even after Judge Davis rendered his motion to bar Sherman's testimony, RIAA
counsel Richard Gabriel continued to press on. Emphasizing the importance of
Sherman's testimony, Gabriel argued that Sherman is needed to help the jury see
the "massive problem of file sharing," and that the RIAA is not out to make
money but "to prove a point."
Judge Davis remained stalwart, refusing to reconsider.
Capitol Records v. Jammie Thomas is
significant because it is the first case among the RIAA's litany of more than
18,000 lawsuits to make it to jury trial. With most of the suits, the RIAA
tends to push for a settlement to avoid costly litigation; defendants, facing
overwhelming legal fees and the costs of going to court, usually settle for
amounts that range from around $3,000 to $11,000.
Previous testimony in Capitol Records v. Jammie
Thomas included witnesses from Sony BMG, Warner Bros., and EMI
Records of North America. In one such testimony, Sony BMG's head of litigation
Jennifer Pariser equated Fair Use to stealing when she testified that if "an
individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a
song," adding that making "a copy" is just "a nice way saying 'steals just one

Senate Bill Would Replace CFPB Director With Five-Member Commission
Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), a member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, Friday reintroduced legislation to replace Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray with a five-person commission.
"Allowing a single unelected official to define their own jurisdiction and regulate vast segments of our economy without accountability or restraint is irresponsible regardless of political party," Moran said in a release.
"This common-sense legislation brings a variety of perspectives to the bureau and gives Congress the oversight authority required for such a powerful agency. We stand ready to work with the president to make certain the CFPB's mission of consumer protection is both effective and accountable," Moran said.
The Responsible Consumer Financial Protection Regulations Act of 2013 would reform the CFPB to a structure similar to that of the SEC. S. 205 would also subject the CFPB to Senate appropriations process and establish a safety and soundness check that would ensure excessive regulations do not cause financial institutions to fail.
The Dodd-Frank Act currently allows the CFPB director to set his or her annual budget by withdrawing funds directly from the Federal Reserve, rather than going through the annual Congressional appropriations process. Dodd-Frank also denies the Federal Reserve any authority to deny or adjust the CFPB director's request.
Moran's bill would subject the CFPB to the annual appropriations process.
Credit union trade associations have said they would support such reforms; however, both CUNA and NAFCU have stressed that they have no issues with Cordray himself.
The legislation, originally introduced in 2011, would enact reforms requested by Moran and 42 Senate colleagues in a letter sent to President Obama on Friday, stating they will continue to oppose the confirmation of any CFPB nominee until key changes are made to ensure accountability and transparency at the bureau.
On Jan. 24, Obama nominated Cordray for a full five-year term.

Interestingly enough, Boss is getting some media hype in the US.
Interestingly enough, Boss is getting some media hype in the US.
for those that can't read it...
he has a terrible WARP, though i have no idea what it measures exactly.Current: Davis is finally seeing his production match his potential, and the Raptors are now one of the NBA's hottest teams since he has moved into the starting lineup. Davis has real talent to "feel" out a defense's weaknesses and earn easy baskets by moving to the perfect spot on the floor. He gets a lot of dunks this way, and he finishes a high rate of his non-dunks too. Davis works at rebounding every shot, and does so effectively, while making very few mistakes with the ball. -- Thorpe
Future: With his performance over the past month, Davis has earned the right to stay in the starting lineup after Andrea Bargnani returns, and he might not give up that role for years. Strength remains an issue for the rail-thin Davis, especially in terms of defending the post. MySynergySports.com ranks him 124th out of 152 qualified players in points allowed per post-up. -- Pelton
Glad he made the list. Can't read the whole thing but THUMBS UP! I guess...

did not make the list.
I am sure there are PLENTY of GMs (read 0) that would draft Ed Davis before John Wall and Ricky Rubio if there were to start a new franchise today...
"the raptors were my fav team growing up"-kevin durant
You can trade Ed Davis for anyone on the 2nd list
Surprised John Wall didn't make it. He's single-handedly revitalized a horrific Wizards team.
Of course ESPN doesn't connect that just removing Bargnani from the starting lineup in itself is a plus but we don't have to go there.....
If the list is based on this year's stats only, it still does not address the issue that many players from the second list are having a better year than Ed Davis, DeAndre Jordan, and Eric Bledsoe to name a few.
Eric Bledsoe is averaging 8.7 ppg and 2.9 apg, and I would argue he is having very little impact on his team Win-Loss record.
I do like Ed Davis' trajectory but unless he gains a lot of strength, he'll continue to be a severe liability against power forwards who can post him up.
This list has a lot of flaws to it. Looks to me like an internet piece meant to stir traffic. (folks at RR should know how that works )

The U.S.
military has been working on the most expensive weapons program in U.S. history
for years now. That program is the F-35 Lighting II (Joint Strike Fighter) that
will see action eventually in all branches of the U.S. military and will find
its way to allied nations as well. The F-35 program has had more than its share
of setbacks, and not all of those setbacks were issues with the aircraft. Many
of the setbacks have come at the hands of lawmakers and budget cuts.
The House is set to vote
on a critical funding bill that has serious implications on the future
of the F-35 program. The budget has a provision in it for the continued
development and deployment of an alternative engine for the F-35 to go along
side the Pratt
& Whitney F135 jet engine. The alternative engine is from GE and Rolls
Royce and will be built in Ohio, and Indiana. The F135 engine is constructed in
Florida and Texas. The engine vote is under pressure because many lawmakers in
the House feel that adding a second engine to the program wastes taxpayer money
and the House is looking to pare all it can from the budget for the year.
The spending measure the House is voting on has $450 million set aside for the
GE and Rolls-Royce engine. The thing that has defense contractors nervous is
that many of the House lawmakers are in their freshman terms and haven't yet
voted on the program. That means where the votes will lie on the second engine
are more unknown than in previous votes.
Rep. Bob Dold, R-Ill, in his first term, said, "We have to step forward,
we have to cut back on areas, and this is an area that the secretary of defense
said we need to cut back on."
Debate on the bill is expected to continue all week and cuts on the alternative
F-35 engine aren't the only things on the chopping block as the House looks to
cut billions from the budget. The cuts will also affect the Peace Corps, the
EPA, and many more programs that currently receive federal funding. The White
House has already warned the House that it would mount "strong
opposition" to legislation that would undermine core government functions
and investments in job growth.
While the future of the alternative F-35 engine in question, the F-35 program
itself moves on. The Air Force has announced that it will begin
to train instructor pilots on the F-35 before the end of 2011. The
first F-35 aircraft will be delivered to the 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin Air Force
Base. The first round of aircraft will be the F-35A conventional take off and
landing versions and 20 of the jets are expected in the first round of
Vice Adm. Dave Venlet said, "We're going to put them in the hands of the
fleet and the Air Force is going to be operating [Conventional take-off and
landing aircraft] in training at Eglin before the year ends."
Defense News notes that it is uncommon for aircraft to be delivered
to line pilots before formal operational testing is completed. However, a
shortened informal test will be conducted before the 33rd pilots take delivery
of the aircraft. Venlet said, "It's not a full operational test, it
doesn't resolve any measures of effectiveness."
Venlet also noted that he expects the F-35B STOVL aircraft will have sea-trials
with the Marine Corps this fall. The F-35B has been the most trouble prone of
all the aircraft and has been put on a probationary
status though the aircraft has made successful vertical
test landings.

you are hiring Nash because he is an offensive wizard. Melo kills all offensive movement.
Nash + Melo = net losses.
Knicks need a strong defensive PG who can hand the ball over to Melo and stand in the corner to catch and shoot threes.
Knicks have a better chance at winning a championship if they traded Melo for a bunch of high quality role players and left Amare and Chandler as stars.
