Hello to all who have donated to the Circles Initiative in Pitcairn! I am excited to share with you some achievements of participants in the Circles program. Your dollars allowed us to help our participants learn how to budget, job hunt, achieve educational goals, and work together to address issues that make it more difficult to get out of poverty. Read the rest of this report and know that your donations have made a difference in the lives of these people.
Wednesday, August 1, 15 new low-income participants began the "Getting Ahead" phase of our Circles Initiative. They brought with them 12 new children, making Center Avenue United Methodist Church on Wednesday evenings a very busy place indeed!
At the same time, we have eight Circle Leaders who continue to work toward achieving their long-term goals of self-sufficiency. Here are some of their stories, much success which has come from the support Circles provides:
Chelsea, a young, single mother to 4-year-old, Braydon, has begun attending community college to study nursing while continuing to work nearly full-time. She is doing well and demonstrates great motivation and persistance. She says the support she gets from Circles keeps her motivated as she faces daily challenges and occasional frustrations.
Teresa has just begun a part-time job using some of the computer skills she acquired through recent education. She will be helping with presentations, grant-writing, and other office tasks. This job will end her long streak of unemployment, add to her resume, and prepare her for more substantial employment in the future.
Aldo is currently enrolled in the same computer class that Teresa recently completed. Previously, he was computer illiterate and nervous about learning the computer. Each week he shares his victories as he learns how to use the Microsoft Office products. He feels good about himself and his goal is employment when he completes his training. Aldo recently celebrated two years clean and sober.
Diane has gained part-time employment. Her confidence has increased and the only government subsidy she still receives is medical disability insurance. She is hopeful that her job will increase to full-time and include access to benefits so she can afford to let go of the medical insurance and be fully self-sufficient.
Charlene, another recovering addict, had a job interview a few weeks ago. She has been offered seasonal employment which she is hopeful will increase to offer year-round employment. She would like to go to college and is intelligent enough to do so. At this time, she has a higher need for income, so that goal is taking a lower priority at the moment.
Dawn is recently divorced and has begun a new business in town, cooking, cleaning and doing laundry for a number of senior citizens. She is not certain yet if this is her long-term goal, but while she explores options, she is able to make enough money to make ends meet.
Two former teachers have offered to help recovering addict, Nicole, prepare for her upcoming G.E.D. Nicole just learned to read two years ago, and although reading is still somewhat of a struggle for her, she plans to enter college when she achieves her G.E.D.
Each of our Circle Leaders thank you for believing in them as they work toward their goals. Your dollars are changing lives! All of us at the Pitcairn Circles Initiative are truly grateful!

National Security Leaders Urge Congress to "Stop Defense Sequestration Now"
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Seventy-three former U.S. government officials, retired U.S. military leaders, and national security experts signed an open letter to Congress, urging House and Senate leadership to work together to "stop sequestration now."
In the letter, the group warned: "Sequestration will result in unacceptable risk for U.S. national security. It will degrade our ability to defend our allies, deter aggression, and promote and protect American economic interests. It will erode the credibility of our treaty commitments abroad. It will be a self-inflicted wound to American strength and leadership in the world."
The full text of the letter follows, and additional former officials and experts continue to sign onto it. The letter was prepared by the Foreign Policy Initiative, a non-profit, non-partisan organization that promotes U.S. diplomatic, economic, and military engagement in the world.
The Honorable John Boehner The Honorable Harry Reid
Speaker of the Majority Leader
House of Representatives United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20510
The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Mitch McConnell
Democratic Leader Republican Leader
House of Representatives United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Speaker Boehner, Senator Reid, Senator McConnell, and Representative Pelosi:
As the March 1st deadline nears for unprecedented, across-the-board cuts to our military, we write to urge you to work together to avoid this unnecessary and dangerous blow to American power and global leadership. You have each expressed your opposition to allowing these cuts to go into effect. They will go into effect without congressional action. You are the leaders of Congress. We ask that you act as leaders to stop sequestration now.
In recent days, the Defense Department leadership has developed its plans for operating under sequestration. The details that have been released thus far are chilling:
- The Navy has indefinitely delayed the deployment of a carrier strike group to the Persian Gulf—a decision that significantly weakens America's ability to provide regional security and protection to allies at a time when the Iranian regime continues its work to acquire a nuclear weapons capability.
- The Air Force plans to cut the flying hours of its pilots by 18 percent, and more broadly will have to curtail the service's ability to conduct air-to-air refueling, support Army logistical requirements and, by September of this year, train new pilots—reductions that cumulatively will erode America's vitally important airpower capabilities.
- The Army will delay training for almost 80 percent of its Brigade Combat Teams, cancel critical maintenance, and stop training new aviators and military intelligence specialists—delays that, according to the service's leaders, will result in the "rapid atrophy of unit combat skills with a failure to meet demands of the National Military Strategy by the end of the year."
These cuts are only the tip of the iceberg. As outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has warned, sequestration will yield the "smallest ground forces since 1940," "a fleet of fewer than 230 ships, the smallest level since 1915," and the "smallest tactical fighter force in the history of the Air Force."
Sequestration will result in unacceptable risk for U.S. national security. It will degrade our ability to defend our allies, deter aggression, and promote and protect American economic interests. It will erode the credibility of our treaty commitments abroad. It will be a self-inflicted wound to American strength and leadership in the world.
History will not look kindly on this abdication of responsibility, but will hold accountable the President and the Congress who together chose such a dangerous course.

"The claimants' allegation of wrongdoing has been completely dismissed,"

"I think what we found out this week is that any alleged wrongdoing is really confined to a single individual. Those who were expecting an indictment, indicating a broad conspiracy to out a covert CIA agent or -- are going to be disappointed because there is no evidence to support that."
John Cornyn
"We disagreed with the allegations, ... We disclosed consistently that we denied any wrongdoing and we were going to contest the proceedings. That's what we've been telling shareholders."

"We should send a message to the House, please do not bunch up your allegations. Charge each act of wrongdoing in a separate count. Such a change would clarify things and allow for a cleaner vote on guilt or innocence."

Adult tooth coming through sideways.11/20/2007 |
My 5-year-old son has his rightside front adult tooth coming through completely sideways, IS there anything i can do???
Thank you for the question. It is not unusual for adult teeth to come in at an angle or even 'crooked.' Many times the teeth will correct themselves with eruption as the child ages, but other times they will need intervention from an orthodontist/pediatric dentist.
I would recommend an exam by a pediatric dentist as the best place to start - they can usually identify any eruption problems with a thorough exam and radiographs. Your son is relatively young to have the adult front tooth coming in, but some children have advanced eruption of teeth.
I hope this helps.

CoLA Requirements
- 2.0 cumulative GPA
- 24 hours earned
- Grade of "C" or higher in ENG 1010 and 1020
- Three additional CORE courses from Areas 2, 3, or 4
How often should I meet with my advisor?
At least once every semester.
How do I set up an appointment with my advisor?
You must email/call them directly. ML advisor information can be found under Student Advising Resources.
Who is my advisor?
You can find your advisor through WINGS under the Academics tab or you can come into the office and ask for your advisor's information.
Your high school language classes will save you time and money if you are wise enough to:
- Take a language as soon as you begin your university career (If you don't, you might forget your language, lose your self-confidence, and end up wasting your time in French, German, Spanish, etc. 1010).
You can follow the guidelines for placement below, however, we strongly advise you to take the placement exam as soon as possible:
- If you have taken three years of French, Spanish, German, you are strongly advised to place into FR, GER, SPN 2010. Why?
- 2010 is an intermediate review course, which begins with the present tense.
- At WSU, if you earn a C or higher in a language course over 1010, you can buy back credit hours for the course(s) you skipped! (Speeds up graduation).
- Example: you take FR 2010 in your freshman year. After earning a C or higher, you may buy back credit for FR 1010 and 1020 at $50 per credit hour (cheap).
- This gives you two extra classes (and 6 credit hours) on your transcript!
- Conclusion: the higher you place, the less time and money you waste.
Placement Exams
If you have any questions or concerns about your placement, please call or drop by the department of Modern Languages and speak to the Administrative Specialist.
Department of Modern Language professors will be happy to unofficially advise all students expressing an interest in a language major or minor (supplementing your university college advisor).
One of us will become your official college advisor after you are accepted into the College of Liberal Arts and have declared your French, German or Spanish major or minor.
Click here for the Placement Test
Letter of Recommendation Protocol
Modern Languages professors receive many requests for letters of recommendation because our relatively small and highly interactive classes allow us to know our students by their first names and on a personal level.
While we are happy to help our students win scholarships, enter graduate school, begin a career, etc., common courtesy must be followed in asking a favor that requires such a significant time commitment.
We take the writing of letters of recommendation very seriously, and expect our students to do the same. Please respect the following protocol to achieve the best results.

If the trans is a 400 for sure, and it doesn't move in forward or reverse, I would try to replace the filter and fluid first. On the THM 400 trans it is common for the o-rings on the tube from the filter to the case to get hard and leak. This lets air into the pump inlet circuit and it will not pump air! The tube goes into a heavy rubber grommet at the filter and uses an o-ring at the case, I usually put two o-rings there to increase the seal. Sometimes the filter kit will come with two but if not just find a matching one to install.
This is a cheap repair to try before you go through the effort and expense of pulling the trans and overhauling. Good luck, Rick |
oh well, the tranny is already pulled out, im only 15 and i dont have to much know-how on the situation, other then get a nice clean ply wood and take the nose peace off set it a side, next part next to the nose peace ect.
really right now i have $250 in cash and was wondering if i could get the clutch over hualed for this much or if i need to save my penneys, thanks for the repleys. Last edited by 89silverado454; 09-22-2005 at 08:12 PM. |
you have enough money, but first buy a video and watch it a couple of times. have some kind of a clue as to what you are looking at. you should be able to get a rebuild kit for under $150. step by step videos are available and easy to follow.
Go to your local trany shop and see what a carry out th400 goes for. Around here a 700r4 carry out goes for $550-750 and 400's around $350-450. If you dont no much about cars, much less tranys, then I wouldn't attempt rebuilding it yourself. You'll spend good money on parts, get it all put together just to find out it still doesn't work. Save a little more money and either buy a carry out or get someone that does tranys for a living to build it. Get a guaranty that the trans is going to work if you do it there's no guaranty. |
Yup and think of the educational oppotunities for the young fella..
Next thing ya know he will be the local tranny guy.. OMT
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work.. |
And he's 15, it's not like he could be driving it anytime soon, he's got plenty of time to do it. With help this website and a video he'll be fine. Some of you guys had a good point, for the trans to just drop out during the ride wouldn't be clutch related, has to be something else. |
the tranny is already out and my moms b/f is a tranny specialist and he will help me work on it, i was just wondering what this could run me up. now that im sure i will have enough money ill think of starting soon. thanks guys. heck who knows i might end up being a tranny specialist too |
I just noticed your home state. If I lived up there I would be driving without my licenses too. Don't tell my dad but I put about 50 miles on my Caprice before I even had my permit or the car insured.
Good luck, keep us posted on it. |
Just a bit of an update!
This tranny seemed to be on the back burner for a while and im just getting around to it. i tore it apart about a month ago, only to find the person before me drove the living hell out of this tranny, the clutchs were gona and at least 2/3 of the rest of the tranny was JUNK! it must have been slipping for ever, looks as if there was enough friction to make it hot enough the oil tub melted and everything went cablummy from there so i picked up a parts th400, an overhaul kit, shift kit oil filter torque convertor ect. ect. and now all i need is a primary gear (which i can get for free from my mothers bf ) good to have a tranny guy around at times. today he took all the parts from the parts 400 too work to have them cleaned, and to grab the other part from work. so by this weekend i should be re-assembling my transmission. i never knew there was so little too a tranmission! only took me about 45 min my first time to take a tranny apart. by this weekend i hope to have my silverado at his house so i can put the tranny back in it and put it up for sale any one need a truck? lol. |

The South African Airways Museum Society was founded in 1986 by individuals within South African Airways and interested outside parties with the aim of preserving the history of South African Airways as well as that of general civil aviation in South Africa. This was sparked off by the purchase by South African Airways of the famous Junkers Ju 52/3m aircraft. Members of the South African Airways Museum Society were instrumental in restoring that aircraft, and have ever since been proactive in preserving the colourful history of South African Airways.
The South African Airways Museum Society is based at the Transvaal Aviation Club at Rand Airport in Germiston. Historic items such as photographs, aircraft instruments, timetables and other important documentation are on display in the society's display hall. The display hall is open to the public, and the society regularly participates in open days to encourage particularly the younger generation of South Africans to take an interest in aviation as a potential career.
One of South African Airways Museum Society's stated aims is to create an awareness of the greatness of South African aviation, and the role it has played in society.
Our static display aircraft are used to their fullest extent for aviation awareness programmes as well as for fund raising for the society. The aircraft are available for small corporate related functions such as board meetings and conferences, product launches, award ceremonies, even weddings. Much needed funds for the society's preservation efforts are generated from the utilisation of Lebombo and the other static display aircraft.
The aircraft may also be utilised by training organisations for training of aircraft mechanics and technicians. It may be possible for certain maintenance procedures to be undertaken as training exercises, which will assist the society with its on-going preservation task, as well as being beneficial to students who will get an opportunity to work on "the real thing".

The Czech rally driver Roman Kresta is on a roll these days: after finishing a career-best fifth in Corsica the weekend before last, the Ford driver again came fifth on Sunday in the Rally of Catalunya. Speaking after the penultimate race of this year's World Rally Championship, Kresta said he was content enough, but things could have gone better.
"I'm satisfied, of course. But, that said, I'm not totally satisfied with the result because I made a mistake in the choice of tyres, and that cost us at least a minute. Except for that we would have come third. It could have been better, but that's the way rallies go, unfortunately, that's the way it is."
Roman Kresta wasn't the only Czech who did well on Sunday - Jan Kopecky finished eighth in Catalunya in a Skoda.
The crisis at Sparta Prague continues. Last season's football league champions are currently closer to relegation than winning the title: they're in tenth place after losing 2:1 at home to Olomouc on Saturday. Sparta's only goal came six minutes from time, a penalty scored by this man, Miroslav Matusovic.
"We're always saying in the changing room that we have to change things, but then it turns out to be just talk once we get on the pitch. At the same time we started today's game well - at one point I came close but then immediately afterwards they got a goal from a centre. It was as if we just ground to a halt."
And Sparta will have a very tough challenge on Wednesday, when they take on Arsenal at Highbury in the Champions League. On Thursday Slavia Prague entertain CSKA Sofia in the UEFA Cup.
In the Czech league Liberec are two points clear at the top of table after beating Pilsen 2:0 at the weekend. Teplice are second after drawing 1:1 with Slovacko.
There is a question mark over whether star striker Milan Baros will be available for World Cup play-offs against Norway in mid-November. He has made few appearances for Aston Villa since joining the club in the summer, and manager David O'Leary was angry when the player aggravated an injury by appearing for the Czech national team.
Baros says if he is not fit to play next weekend Villa may not allow him to take part in the play-offs. But O'Leary says he has no power to stop him - the rules state clubs must free players for international duty.
Slavia Prague continue to lead the Extraliga table by nine points. They
came from behind to beat Ceske Budejovice 5:2 in the 20th round on Sunday.
Liberec jumped into second place after overcoming Vitkovice 4:3, while Zlin
dropped to third after losing 5:1 to Karlovy Vary.

By Greg Latshaw, USA TODAY
It's a Saturday night in Washington, the Capitol rotunda is in view, and you're walking along the avenue, trying to decide where to eat.
Posted outside restaurants' windows are menus, Zagat ratings and clippings of local newspaper reviews. What's missing, says D.C. Councilwoman Mary Cheh, is information about the restaurants' sanitary conditions. Cheh supports requiring restaurants to display a letter grade based on their most recent health department inspection. She says that now, residents must file public records requests for details on restaurant inspections. "Surely the nation's capital, with all its restaurants, you'd think we'd be a little more progressive," she says. DISCLOSURE: Communities that are updating policies
E. COLI IN BEEF: New methods keep levels low all year
IN SCHOOLS: How safe is the food your kids eat?
More transparency A growing number of health departments across the USA are initiating programs aimed at improving the transparency of restaurant inspections, says Robert Pestronk, executive director of the National Association of County and City Health Officials. He says many health departments are putting information online, and others are placing scores — in the form of letter grades, numerical scores or color-coded decals — in plain sight at restaurants. "It really makes the public part of the inspection workforce," he says. Every year, about 1,000 outbreaks of food-borne illness occur in the USA, about half of which involve meals from a restaurant setting, says Robert Tauxe, deputy director of the division of food-borne, water-borne and environmental diseases for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Health inspections are designed to identify food safety violations, everything from meat stored at improper temperatures to cockroaches in the kitchen. Cross-contamination A study in June's Journal of Food Protection suggests cross-contamination violations — which can lead to illnesses — may be more widespread than previously thought, and they may occur more frequently during peak hours. Researchers from North Carolina State University used video cameras to monitor 47 food handlers at eight volunteering kitchens and found that the workers committed an average of one cross-contamination violation an hour. "It really changes how we think about training," says Ben Chapman, the lead author of the study and assistant professor and food safety specialist in the Department of 4-H Youth Development and Family & Consumer Sciences at NCSU. Researchers from Kansas State University and the University of Guelph in Ontario co-wrote the study. With more than 150 million meals served at food service locations every day, food safety is a top priority of the restaurant industry, says Scott DeFife, executive vice president for policy and government affairs for the National Restaurant Association. He says all 50 states should adopt the Food and Drug Administration's Model Food Code so they're following a standardized inspection form. "The association supports transparency and providing customers with information," DeFife says. "However, we believe it should be provided in a way that accurately reflects an operation's food safety standards, is up to date and is useful to restaurant customers." Moving toward greater public disclosure isn't always easy. Wicomico County, Md., has explored putting records online for several years, but budget cuts to the health department, combined with opposition from restaurant owners, have made that an elusive goal, says Stuart White, supervisor of community health in the environmental health division. Some local restaurant owners worry about the effect on their reputations. "Should the general public sum up a view based on one inspection?" asks Rob Mulford, owner of the Market Street Inn, a AAA three-diamond-rated restaurant in Salisbury, Md., that closes two days a year for comprehensive cleanings. "If something goes wrong, should nine, 10 years of hard work be wiped out because of one health inspection?" Advances in technology — such as electronic tablets that allow inspectors to finish the report on site — are helping health departments digitize inspection records. But the nation's local health departments are contending with a shrinking workforce. Layoffs and attrition have reduced the size of the industry's 155,000 employees by 15% from January 2008 to December 2009, Pestronk says. Budgets challenged "Like anything else, putting out this info requires additional resources, and health departments as a whole are facing significant budget limitations," says Clifford Mitchell, acting assistant director of environmental health and food protection program for the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Cheh says the Washington, D.C., Department of Health may put restaurant inspection records online within the next several months. In February 2009, she co-introduced legislation that would require restaurants to post letter grades in clear view and the health department to post records from the inspection online. Every effort should be made to fully disclose inspection results, says Sarah Klein, a staff attorney for the Center for Science in the Public Interest: "Why should we have to look to find safety information at restaurants?"

2009 Harley-Davidson Iron 883 Review
Original Article: 2009 Harley-Davidson Iron 883 Review Please discuss the Motorcycle.com article 2009 Harley-Davidson Iron 883 Review in our Motorcycle Forums below. Use the reply button to let others know your comments or feedback on the article. Constructive criticism is always appreciated, along with your thoughts and personal opinions on the bikes and products we have tested. |
I've seen one on the road and it looks better in person than in pictures.
Very nice review great pictures I like it but the pipes and headlight cover forks should be black for my taste. Nice bike for $8000 Nice to see there is a small youth market for Harley's . Is it big enough for replacement of the current market of boomers? But the bike's kpaul Performance Price Ratio kPPR is pretty low compared other bikes in it's price range. But if you insist on being in the botherhood it's a good deal.
For $8K I'd rather have a used KLR and a used 883/1200.
Any suspension left?
I admit that I like the styling and the details like the rear fender/lights from the Nightster but remain disappointed that H-D removed the "standard" 883 Sportster from the lineup. I like a little bit of suspension travel on my bikes so this one would require a return to taller rear springs and fork springs.
Alternatively, I could just buy a used 883 Sportster and a can of flat black spray paint and make a real "rat bike." Granted, you had a short ride in Florida where curves don't exist, but can you comment on how the bike handled (or didn't)? |
"I also love the integration of the brake light into the turnsignals and the side-mount license-plate holder I expect to see on other bikes in the future."
I expect to see legislation prohibiting flip-back license plate holders in the future. And integrating the tail lights with the turn signals may look cool, but the real advantage is that you'll have fewer parts to buy when you get rear-ended. Assuming you and the bike have enough functioning parts left to return to riding. |
If it's truly an "Iron 883", shouldn't it be painted a rusty-brown-colour and have stickon-faux "corrosion pustules" scattered strategically across it, instead of black? And why is there so much Aluminium on this bike if it's "Iron"?
Decent looking bike. It works for those of smaller stature. Bigger guys can do the forward control thing and get lots of extra leg room. Not a bad deal if you are looking for a Harley.
"Alternatively, I could just buy a used 883 Sportster and a can of flat black spray paint and make a real "rat bike."
That would hardly make it a real Rat. You also need about 10 years of corrosion and caked grease to complete the look. |

Pfizer Animal Health introduced a new vaccine that takes reproductive protection to the next level. The newly-released Bovi-Shield GOLD HB combines five-way viral protection with the prevention of Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo type Hardjo-bovis, commonly known as Lepto hardjo-bovis.
Lepto hardjo-bovis is the most prevalent strain of leptospira in U.S. cowherds. A recent study found 42 percent of beef herds infected. A previously reported study also suggested 59 percent of U.S. dairy herds may be infected with leptospira. Lepto hardjo-bovis may cause poor reproductive performance, early embryonic death, delayed breeding, abortions, weak or stillborn calves and unexplained infertility.
"Lepto hardjo-bovis is an insidious reproductive problem," said Glenn Rogers, DVM, MS, DABVP, Pfizer Animal Health veterinarian. "It doesn't typically cause a dramatic drop in pregnancy rates or an abortion storm that is sometimes associated with leptospirosis. It moves quietly into a herd and over time takes a toll on its reproductive efficiency."
Bovi-Shield GOLD HB provides superior protection against five major viral pathogens: IBR, PI3, BRSV and BVD Types 1 and 2. Combine that with the prevention of infection label claim for Lepto hardjo-bovis, and Bovi-Shield GOLD HB offers producers convenience and flexibility with one vaccine that can be administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
Bovi-Shield GOLD HB offers unmatched duration of immunity versus competitive reproductive vaccines, with at least 365 days of immunity for IBR abortions, BVD Types 1 and 2 persistent infection, Lepto hardjo-bovis infection, and Lepto hardjo-bovis urinary shedding and kidney colonization.
For more information on Bovi-Shield GOLD HB go to www.bovishieldgold.com or contact your local veterinarian, animal health supplier or Pfizer Animal Health representative.

The scrum of people in the centre of Madrid for the Constitution Day public holiday last weekend reached a point where the police temporarily closed one of the main underground stations, in Puerta del Sol, to relieve the pressure.
An announcement was made on the packed inbound train I was on that we would have to disembark at the station before, Sevilla, and we spilled out on to the platform. Aided by security guards, we had to squeeze past a massive line of people waiting to board.
Then shoppers, tourists and families going to see the Christmas lights milled about the city centre in the early evening, and it was hard to remember there was an economic crisis on.
As I chatted this week to Bernardo, the owner of a small business, he echoed a similar experience from the holiday weekend and sounded his approval. His business, selling outdoor furniture, has been reduced from a 10-employee outfit to just two over the past five years, but he said there were more inquiries coming in now.
"Last year people would have stayed at home," he said. "This year, at least they are venturing out. They probably won't have a meal but they might have a beer. That's something. We need people to start spending again."

you guys have no luck with sizing down?
To answer the main question, why is it hard to find "real slim shirts", it is because as stated in a lot of articles and in a lot of news recently, most people are obese in America. Companies want to sell to most people so they make big shirts.
I "feel your pain" because I am 6,4 inches and 165 lbs. No freaking shirt will fit me properly. We have 1 store that is called Mexx in Canada that will sell decent shirts (at least for the size) but still, far from perfect.
The shirts that the models wear on your pictures are very adjusted. I own 2 bespoke shirts that are like that (just half an inch more lose) and it is not hard to wear, I am not constricted in them, I and I look good in them.
Do yourself a favor and get some bespoke shirts!
"Slim" means something different to everyone, and since the typical guy is more squishy and round than statuesque, the clothes tend to be cut to accommodate that. As someone who is tall, fit and slim, I've tried a lot of "slim" rtw shirts, and they all fit like sacks. For me, "slim" is a combination of the second and third pictures The pictures are obviously edited, and my chest would pop a button in the first one, but I have shirts with similar fits that look and feel great. MTM is the only option that I've found that provides that type of fit. You could always buy a shirt and have it tailored, but why? You'll probably end up paying as much as (if not more than) mtm.
If you find a shirt that is inexpensive to begin with, you can still come in way under MTM pricing. Charles Tyrwhitt fit me OK, but once my tailor is done with them, they fit on par with MTM. He charges me $22 per shirt, and the shirts generally range from $40-50 on sale. I don't, however, get to pick the fabric, cuff and collar configuration.

The United Nations theme for this International Women's Day is "Equality for women is progress for all.†Emerging markets around the world appear to be seizing the lead over developed countries when it comes to women in senior business management positions.
The rapid economic growth in emerging markets in recent years has resulted in greater opportunities for women in business, giving them a clear edge over their counterparts in developed nations. While the global debate on bridging the gender gap in business continues, the widely-held notion that traditional and social hurdles in developing countries limit women's empowerment in business is getting increasingly outdated.
Grant Thornton's 2014 'Women in Business' report, which surveyed 6,600 companies in 45 countries, reveals that the proportion of senior management positions held by women across the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) exceeds 30 percent, in contrast to about 20 percent in the G7 group of industrialized nations. The report provides striking statistics such as: in China more than 60 percent of CFOs are women.
Across the BRICS nations, the percentage of companies with no women in senior roles has gone down from 39 percent last year to 18 percent this year. Women in emerging markets score better than the global average even in the boardrooms. About one-third of all entrepreneurs in China are women.
On the Forbes 2013 list of 24 self-made female billionaires worldwide, six are from China – more than any other country outside the U.S. According to the World Bank, 12 percent of CEOs in Turkey are women, which is higher than the EU average. Francesca Lagerberg, global head of tax at Grant Thornton, points out that the emerging markets really seem to value some of the attributes that women bring to boards and senior management roles.
Education is one of the key factors behind the increased empowerment of women in business in the developing world. According to Sylvia Ann Hewlett and Ripa Rashid, authors of the book "Winning the War for Talent,†women in emerging markets are graduating from universities and graduate schools at rates that match and often outstrip those of men.

Concert Review: BRMC at The House of Blues Dallas, April 27, 2013
If you missed out on this show, be sad.
Not as sad as if you missed out on their show at Trees almost 3 years ago, when they gave a seriously unbeatable performance, but be sad.
It is my personal, factual, undisputed, universally-accepted-as-truth belief that BRMC is incapable of giving a bad performance. The night of April 27th was no exception.
My Pet Chicken, Music Industry Maven
I've always dreamt of owning a domesticated house chicken. A rooster, more specifically. Not those woman hens. They're always laying eggs. It's like they're on their periods 24/7, but with high cholesterol, and women are just unbearable to be around during their time of the month. Then again, when are women ever bearable?*
My rooster, Dr. Ticklefeathers, would be the most handsome rooster in all the land, or my apartment complex. He would discover his love of music when our Italian neighbor, Vergiovessi, would play his piano at four in the morning because he'd be high on crack. Dr. Ticklefeathers would let the music gently caress the floppy red thing on top of his head and develop an intense desire to become a pop star.
Next thing I know, Dr. Ticklefeathers will start gelling the floppy red thing into a fauxhawk and wearing tight leather pants. He'd change his name to Cock, a bold, artsy name paying homage to his barnyard background while displaying just a hint of subtle sexuality.
He'd release a hit single, "Eggs", and though it would be a thinly veiled remake of ZZ Top's "Legs", he'd become the star of the Squawk Rock genre overnight. McDonald's would hit him up for an endorsement deal, and he'd go along with it until learning the main ingredient in McDonald's chicken nuggets. Then he'd check himself into a mental hospital and start doing lines of cock coke off other patients' buttocks.
It wouldn't be long before his ego would get so huge he'd abandon me and I'd have to assassinate him for his own good. I would of course use Janet Jackson's nipple ninja star to decapitate him while he's performing at the superbowl.
The nation would mourn the loss of Cock (later changed to Coque), but along with other stars that die too young, he would be remembered forever, like Aaliyah (bet you don't remember who that is, do you?).
*Note: I am a woman. That joke was sarcastic. Please stop threatening to beat me with your tampon. We both know it wouldn't really hurt me anyway.

In Reply to: Re: Wrong posted by JamesB on December 30, 2005 at 12:22:02:
It's easy go to the menu and turn the "Downsampling" Off. The reason it it exists and set ON by default is many D/A converters do not operate higher than 48kHz. But if you have a D/A converter that operates at higher frequencies 96kHz, 192kHz turn the "Downsampling" off and your player will output the 24 Bit 96kHz and signals from all DVD-Video music discs. Most DVD-Audio discs are copy protected so they will output nothing.To recap all DVD-Video players made in the last 10 years or so will output 2 channel PCM at full resolution PCM if you tell your player to do so. I have read any of your manuals?
Also you couldn't give me a portable CD player for free, I would refuse! I do believe there are portable DVD-Audio players with bulit in TV Screens.Hope this helps,

- Discriminate between exocrine and endocrine pancreas
- Discuss the cellular structure of an exocrine pancreatic acinus and its function
- Identify intercalated ducts and centroacinar cells
- Recognize Islets of Langerhans (endocrine pancreas)
- Discuss the various types of endocrine pancreas cells
Slide 188 pancreas H&E Webscope Imagescope
Slide 188B pancreas Webscope Imagescope
- Overview of exocrine and endocrine pancreas
- Identify pancreatic acini with centroacinar cells
- Find intercalated duct and interlobular ducts
Examine slide 188 at the lowest power and note that most of the section appears purple or bluish. This is the parenchyma (or functional tissue) of the exocrine pancreas. You will note that the parenchyma is rather indistinctly divided into sm
aller areas by slits of open space or by pink connective tissue (stroma). The smallest of these areas constitute the lobules of this gland. You may see a few circular structures of various size between the lobules. These are cross sections either through branches of the pancreatic duct or through blood vessels. If you observe the parenchyma carefully you will note scattered small spots that are a lighter blue-gray. These are the islets of Langerhans, which comprise the endocrine pancreas.
First observe the parenchyma, noting that it is made up of large numbers of acini , although you may also see occasional fat cells in the parenchyma. Each acinus is a cluster of secretory cells arranged around a small lumen (which is generally collapsed and therefore not visible in your sections). The acini may vary considerably in shape, since they are cut randomly in the section. Note that the peripheral region of each acinus, which represents the basal portions of the individual acinar cells, stains more blue or purple. The hematoxylin component of the H&E stain is staining the ribosomal RNA in the abundant rough (or granular) endoplasmic reticulum found in this portion of the secretory cells.
This "cytoplasmic basophilia" is the reason why the whole section appears purple or blue. The central region of the acinus, representing the apical portions of the acinar cells, is pink (acidophilic) because of the presence of the Golgi complex and numerous secretory granules in this part of the cell (you will probably not be able to make out the individual granules). Here and there you may see a smaller cell, or cluster of cells, with pale cytoplasm in the central region of an acinus. These are centroacinar cells #188B centroacinar cells Webscope ImageScope and represents the initial portion of the excurrent duct that extends up into the acinus. These slender ducts extending from the acini to larger excretory ducts located outside the lobule are called intercalated ducts #188B intercalated ducts Webscope ImageScope and may be found by looking for small clusters of 3-5 slightly elongated nuclei lying between the acini; the cytoplasm of the duct cells is very pale, and you may or not be able to make out the lumen. As in salivary glands, intercalated ductal cells in the pancreas contribute bicarbonate ions (sodium and water follow passively) to the exocrine secretory product. However, unlike salivary glands, there are no striated ducts in the pancreas to recover sodium, so the final product is rich in both sodium and bicarbonate (as opposed to saliva in which the sodium content is about one tenth that of plasma).
Using intermediate or low power, observe the larger ducts that are located in the connective tissue septa between the lobules. Theseinterlobular ducts #188B interlobular ducts Webscope ImageScope can be distinguished from blood vessels by their lining epithelium, which is either simple cuboidal or, in the larger ducts, simple columnar.
Slide 190B pancreas (rat) chrome-alum hematoxylin and phloxine stain Webscope Imagescope
- Identify islets of Langerhans
- Look at Hematoxylin and Phloxine stained pancreatic tissue (Beta cells blue more central, alpha cells more peripheral reddish).
Scan the parenchyma of this slide to find islets. The staining procedure used here allows you to differentiate the two principal cell types found in the islets in slide #190 #190B islet Webscope ImageScope. Although the nuclei in both a and b cells are reddish, the insulin secretory granules in the beta (or B) cells cause the cytoplasm to stain a pale blue-green with the chrome-alum hematoxylin. The alpha (or A) cells, containing secretory granules of glucagon, are stained reddish. Note that the beta cells are usually more numerous and occur in the interior of the islet, while the alpha cells are found more peripherally. You will not be able to distinguish delta (or D) cells, source of somatostatin. Incidentally, the secretory granules of the acinar cells are seen clearly in the exocrine pancreas in this slide. Islets of Langerhans can also be readily seen in #188B Islets of Langerhans Webscope ImageScope as well. The islets occur as pale areas of cells here and there in the parenchyma (you can find them most easily under low power). Note the scattered distribution of the islets and their variation in size. You will not be able to distinguish the various cell types in the islets in this routine H&E preparation.
Slide 189 Pancreas (monkey) vascular injection TB&E Webscope Imagescope
- Look at the vascular perfusion of islets of Langerhans.
Before histological preparation, the arterial supply of this pancreas was injected with a red material. The main point of the slide is to show you how much richer the vascular supply is to the endocrine tissue, the islets of Langerhans, than to the surrounding exocrine pancreas. Find islets in the parenchyma, and observe the denser concentration of capillaries #189 dense capillary concentration Webscope ImageScope. Many of these slides in our collection (including the virtual slide) contain some pieces of lymph nodes, so make sure that you are looking at the pancreatic tissue orientation Image
226 Pancreas Exocrine Pancreas Webscope Imagescope
In this low power electron micrograph, observe the organization of the acini, composed of acinar cells. Within the acinar cells you will see the basal rough endoplasmic reticulum and the numerous secretory granules in the apical region of the cells, facing the small lumen of the acinus. Note the centroacinar cell in upper right acinus.
227 Pancreas - Exocrine, detail of acinus Organelles of the Secretory Pathway Webscope Imagescope
Pancreatic acinar cells as depicted in this electron micrograph are cells that are highly specialized for protein secretion. Therefore, all the organelles of the protein secretory pathway are well-represented and are clearly visible in this micrograph.
230 Pancreas Endocrine Pancreas Webscope Imagescope
You will not be ask to identify different types of endocrine cells in the islet of Langerhans. However, compare the appearance of an endocrine cell containing small granules to that of a portion of exocrine cell shown on the right.
1. The cell indicated:
- produces bile.
- is in the space of Disse.
- produces pancreatic pro-enzymes (such as trypsinogen).
- adds bicarbonate and water to the pancreatic exocrine secretion.
- removes sodium from the pancreatic exocrine secretion.
- secretes insulin.
- secretes glucagon
adds bicarbonate and water to the pancreatic exocrine secretion.

Robotic surgery coming to T&T?
The Ministry of Health recently held a seminar and workshop on robotic surgery. In the popular imagery, robots are normally associated with the car assembly industry or science fiction movies. The reality is that robots are being used in a vast array of human endeavours, including surgery. The first robot-assisted surgery was recorded as having being performed in 1985.
It was in 2000, however, that robotic surgery really entered the mainstream with the da Vinci robotic system with its improved arms (manipulators), instruments and vision systems. This robotic platform is the world leader with nearly 2,500 installations worldwide with some 1,878 located in the United States. It was estimated that last year, over 450,000 robotic surgeries were performed by the over 3,500 trained robotic surgeons.
Robotic surgery is used in a wide range of applications including, urology, gynaecology, cardiothoracic and general surgery. Benefits include reduced trauma on the body, minimal scarring and faster recovery times as it is a minimally invasive procedure.
It is important to note that robotic surgery is not what the general population might think it is—an autonomous robot performing surgery on a human being. Actually the robot is under the control of a trained surgeon and thus serves to enhance the operating skills of the surgeon and is less invasive in that the opening made in the body to facilitate the hands of the surgeon entering into the body is reduced or removed totally in some cases.
The layman may be tempted to ask how is this then a robot if it is under the control of a human being—the surgeon. Well, by definition, a robot is a device that has memory and can sense and react to the environment. Very rarely, if at all, a robot is allowed a free range to do as it pleases. In the movies, yes. In real life, no. Even those robots that perform repetitive tasks in the industrial environment are under the control and oversight of a human agent.
What the robots provide the surgeon with is a clearer and more precise picture and greater accuracy and constancy of movements and operational procedures. On viewing recordings of robotic surgeries and human-only surgery, one cannot but help notice the precision, repeatability and assurance—yes, a very human term—of the robot movements.
The movement to introduce robotic surgery into the public health sector is a step in the right direction as medical care worldwide is incorporating the use of technology to improve patient care. The projected growth areas lie in the developing countries. In India, several robotic surgery centres are being set up.
The proposal to first introduce robotic surgery training in T&T by installing a simulation station might be the best way to introduce robotic surgery as the local surgeons can be trained. This can be extended to the Caribbean and Latin American region. So when the robotic platform is eventually introduced, a critical mass of trained robotic surgeons would be available thereby facilitating a smooth incorporation of the technology.
While medical robots may be new here, both postgraduate and undergraduate projects on robotics have been in progress for some time now at both UWI and UTT. In fact, the Mechatronics Group at UTT has well-equipped robotics labs and its researchers are actively engaged in quite novel and interesting R&D work. These local engineers and scientists can be utilised to provide the critical technological and engineering support that would also be required if robotic technology is to be installed and maintained.
The Minister of Health should be lauded for this venture and the universities, particularly the science and technology faculties and departments, should see the need to be more proactive in their efforts to be engaged in this venture and national technological development generally, through the strengthening and deepening of their research efforts.

When the London College of Fashion held a catwalk show and after-party on 27 October to kick off its inaugural Fashioning the Future summit, a series of seminars on the subject of sustainability, your average punter would have been hard-pressed to spot a famous face. But for the clamouring students, a veritable dream line-up was present, from the ever-dapper Jaeger chairman Harold Tillman and ex-Topshopper Jane Shepherdson (now of Whistles) to Browns boutique owner Joan Burstein.
After the hit-and-miss show (sustainable fashion still has a way to go in the credibility stakes), judges including fashion doyenne Caryn Franklin (the one-time presenter of The Clothes Show) awarded nifty-in-a-crunch prizes of £1,000 each to the winners, before adjourning to a standing room-only party next door. With promised A-listers Colin Firth and Vivienne Westwood no-shows, it was left to Radio 1 DJ Nihal to provide the celeb sparkle, until organic beauty queen Jo Wood arrived, without husband Ronnie, but with wedding ring firmly on finger.
She was charm itself despite the chaos of the party – there was hardly room to move – and her personal life. Wearing vintage, she kept firmly on topic. "Tonight", she announced, "they made ethical fashion sexy; there were some trousers I'd love. I really loved the whole of the first collection." And the name behind that collection? Manon Flener – one, it seems safe to assume, to watch.

Also, the thing where he says he's a Christian, but basically says that, "you have to find the right religion for you". Wtf!? It might be a good point, but I'd be astounded to hear a follower of say, Shinto, say, "hm, maybe Shinto isn't right for you, try Islam."
Proper MAs are not like religions or cults in any way.

5/18/2010 7:55pm, #29--For one thing cagefighting is a sport not reality nor real fighting so most if not all the BJJ they do in the cage wont work on concreate and I have done BJJ for 13 years and im very good but, I don't use any BJJ in real fights on the streets nor the bars I bounce at.
Emphasis mine.
My personal experience and observation is that most owners don't want the staff beating down an unruly customer. It's often bad for business.
Most prefer that the person is escorted outside by one or two "bouncers". A good joint lock after a throw to the ground is an effective way to get the bad customer to see the error of their ways. Sure, there are those so tanked as to be the exception.

The pied-billed grebe is a small grebe that can be found through out most of North America, Central America and parts of South America. Here where I live in Minnesota pied-billed grebes are here breeding during the warmer months. They are most often seen in the water and hardly ever seen in flight. When they migrate they usually fly at night. When potential danger is near they will sink under the surface of the water, sort of like a submarine, and swim to safety.

Many pros find themselves in the middle of their careers trying to navigate changes and challenges, says Peter Diamond, a career coach and leadership development expert. In some cases, their careers aren't turning out as planned or they're finding their roles evolving in unexpected or unwelcome ways. Diamond says keeping up means taking these four conscious steps to amplify your career.
Career Management
Successful career development is more than doing a good job. Dressing for success, business writing skills, career networking – all are vitally important.
Business Management Daily's succinct, workplace-tested career advice is designed to help you position yourself to succeed in your chosen field.
Making connections when you're networking in a room of strangers can be a challenge. But it doesn't have to be that way, says Caroline Ceniza-Levine, a career expert and co-founder of SixFigureStart. She offers five ways to introduce yourself to people you don't know at networking or other professional events.
If your employee handbook hasn't been updated in the past six months, it's out of date. Because employment laws and your business are in a constant state of flux, it's critical to keep your personnel policies up-to-date. In light of recent legal changes, be sure your policies include these updates:

We made a decision to sit out the market.
It is difficult to do.
We have made tremendous gains in the last four years.
Almost as much as one of us working full time.
But the time came
That we were up too early in the morning
and too late at night
wringing hands and wondering
if we would begin to lose principle.
We are only 10% in right now
So our new split is
70/20/10 Cash/bonds/stocks
We will wait until the next election is about to happen
to buy in again.
We think that US corporations are more willing to let the ship go down
without them
then risk any savings on the ship!

The stock market is a crazy ride, for sure. We've stopped our 401K, not because we are scared, but we want an emergency fund first. All the money we lost in 2008 came back, until this last major decrease, but I imagine it will come back again. We are conservative investors, for sure, but we are hoping in about 20 years time we will have enough to live off of.

Allscripts got its start in 1986 by selling prepackaged medications for physicians to dispense at the point of care. The company unveiled its first software product, an e-prescribing system, in 1998; through acquisitions in 2001, 2006 and 2008, Allscripts added electronic health record (EHR), practice management (PM) and care management systems, respectively. Misys, meanwhile, brought its PM software to the United States in the late 1990s and added home health and revenue cycle management systems following acquisitions in 2002 and 2005, respectively.
Allscripts now develops and sells software and services to various types of health care providers.
- For individual practices with three or fewer physicians, the company offers Allscripts MyWay, which integrates EHR, PM and claims management features.
- For practices with four to 25 physicians, Allscripts offers its Professional line of EHR and PM systems, as well as individual products for document management, revenue cycle management and e-prescribing.
- For practices with 25 or more physicians, or for multi-specialty practices, Allscripts has its Enterprise line of EHR and PM software, the individual products mentioned above and Allscripts Connect, a Web-based portal for viewing and sharing clinical data.
- Finally, for hospitals, individual Allscripts products cover care management and emergency department management, for patients in the hospital, and home care and post-acute care, for patients who have gone home or to associated facilities.
According to Allscripts, more than 160,000 physicians and approximately 800 hospitals currently use its products.
