Say you're a real-estate developer with properties scattered in Boston, New York, and Washington. You and your colleagues want to visit all three cities in one day rather than a city a day for three days, and do so efficiently and privately.
JetSuite, a California-based flight charter company, may be the ticket.
To charter one of their four-passenger Embraer Phenom 100s or newly-introduced six or seven seat Citation CJ3 jets, there are no upfront ownership fees or monthly membership fees. You don't have to be a member at all, in fact.
JetSuite flies to 2,000 airports across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and will be adding Caribbean destinations starting in January. But JetSuite focuses on short flights. The Phenom can fly up to 2.5 hours, and the Citation can fly up to six hours. CEO Alex Wilcox says they do very few bi-coastal flights like New York to Los Angeles, because they would require a layover on these small planes.
Customers can book as much as a year in advance, but if you're flying in JetSuite's primary markets, like New York, Florida, California, or Texas, Wilcox says they can often fly within a couple hours of the call. They can usually accommodate a customer's request with 24-hours notice, he says.
Booking flights means booking the whole plane. The airfare is comprised of an hourly fee and an airport fee. The hourly fee ranges from $3,250-4,350 depending on the aircraft. Then the airport fee varies from around $2,500 for low traffic routes like Chicago to Fargo, to a credit of a $600 for high frequency routes like Teterboro to West Palm Beach, where it's efficient for JetSuite to operate.
But choosing non-major airports along the same route saves money and stress: a one way flight from Teterboro, New Jersey to Bedford, Massachusetts costs about $3,600. A longer flight like JFK to Palm Beach International Airport in Florida costs about $11,000 each way.
If you fly frequently enough, a membership may be worth consideration. There are four membership levels: 50K, 100K, 200K, and 400K, which indicate the amount of money you put down as a non-refundable credit to your account. Your airfare, airport fee, and hourly fee then get deducted from the initial $50,000 you put down if you choose the 50K membership, for example. The major upside is memberships allow you to pay on average $400 less per hour for flights, and don't expire. The Phenom 100 will run members $2,850-$3,150 per hour depending on your membership level and aircraft. The CJ3 costs $3,650-$3,950 per hour. Another membership perk is higher booking priority, which can come in handy on popular travel days, and more flexible cancellation policies.
If canceling a flight 24 hours or more in advance, members will be fully refunded. JetSuite keeps 50-75% of the airfare when a flight is canceled 12-24 hours prior and 75% of the fare of a flight canceled 0-12 hours prior. Non-members lose $200 for canceling 48 hours or more ahead of time. For canceling 24-48 hours in advance, JetSuite keeps 15% of the flight cost, and for 12-24 hours advance notice, JetSuite keeps 75%-100% of the flight cost. Non-members will not receive a refund for canceling 12 hours or less in advance.
If the available schedules aren't convenient, fliers can book "waiting time" in advance, up to eight hours or so, Wilcox says. JetSuite will delay 30 minutes for members without charge, then charge $100 for every 15 minutes after. For retail fliers, they'll wait 15 minutes before charging $125 for every 15 minutes after that.
Wilcox says they can afford their deals because they fly small, light planes and do so often. An average of 25%-30% of their flights are empty. So every night, they post on Twitter and Facebook their SuiteDeals, steeply discounted flights for the next day.
A typical fare is $499, and it can go up to $2,000 for longer flights like New York to Florida on their larger Citation plane. Last night they posted 11 deals for $499 for short one-way legs like Santa Monica to San Francisco and Austin to Houston.
If your frequent flying is bi-coastal or transcontinental, JetSuite isn't your best bet. Memberships are worthwhile for private fliers with businesses in multiple cities, and one-off retail flights allow you to dip your toes in private aviation for special occasions or traveling to your second home.

Facebook now has 4,600 employees and it's hiring at a breakneck pace.
We recently toured Facebook's rapidly-expanding campus. The recruiting department is so large that it occupies nearly an entire floor of one building.
One landmark visual in the department: a gong that recruiters strike every time they make a hire.
It's going to get loud in there: Facebook is hiring an average of three people a day.

In the year or so since VMware released VMware Infrastructure 3.0 (VI3), it has come to be viewed as a watershed event in virtualisation. Building upon the reliability of the VMware ESX 2.5 hypervisor, VI3 and its sophisticated VM management tools brought virtualisation firmly into the IT mainstream. The recent upgrade to ESX Server 3.5 and VirtualCenter 2.5 doesn't equal the leap to VI3, but it does add a few features that will definitely come in handy for any virtualisation implementation.
These features are generally focused on easing the maintenance burden imposed by a virtualised infrastructure. Virtualisation promises to make server management intrinsically simpler, but as with many things in IT, it doesn't hit every target. Addressing some important pain points, VMware has added features such as patch management (Update Manager), live migration of VM disks (Storage VMotion), and a capacity planning wizard (Guided Consolidation) to the suite. Each of these new features fills a gap in the overall picture, and for the most part, does so quite well.
It's certainly true that many IT shops will build their first VMware implementation on ESX 3.5 and VirtualCenter 2.5, and will never have seen their predecessors, but by the same token, many current VI3 shops will be upgrading to the new revs as soon as possible to leverage the new features. To that end, my testing included not only brand-spanking-new ESX installations, but also -- the best possible test of any software release -- production upgrades.
The upgrade dance
Building VMware ESX hosts from scratch is as simple as it gets. Burn an ISO, insert into a server, boot from the CD, click OK a few times, and then add that host in the VMware Infrastructure Client. Configure the network, storage, and licensing, and that's essentially it. You can even reduce those steps if you PXE boot the VMware installer. Upgrading a host from ESX 3.0 to ESX 3.5 is actually simpler than building a new host, and requires very little downtime for the host. If your existing infrastructure is built properly, it means zero downtime for production VMs.
The first overall step to upgrading the whole infrastructure is to upgrade VirtualCenter (VC). Previous versions of VirtualCenter used MSDE (Microsoft SQL Desktop Engine) as the default database, but VMware's recommendation was to use the full-blown Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle Database to handle the database tasks. VC2.5 does away with the legacy MSDE, instead bundling Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. This is a better database platform than MSDE, but is still designed for smaller implementations. In many production VMware environments, this is all that's necessary -- a welcome change from the previous iteration.

We're really glad all the feedback we've got from our UI kits and our post about them. So it's time to dig a little deeper into their practical use.
For those who didn't read the first post, UI Kits are files (pretty much psds) with a lot of useful and common UI elements, with color variations, styles and that are easy to customize. They are specially handy because they save you time from doing same thing every time, you can use same UI kit for several designs, save way you can use WordPress themes or icon packs (also many times included on UI kits).
Here we'll see how they can be great for companies, designers, developers. It's not just about saving time (I know, nice title, huh?) but also how to work smarter, common uses, best practices, how to get the most out of them.
As a smart company owner and DesignModo reader you'll discover how to multiply ridiculously low investments and get the highest ROI (Return on Investment) you've ever seen.
First, UI Kits Anatomy 101
Before we get on how they can help us, we should know what we got when we download or buy them.
So, the useful stuff that usually comes with UI kits, judging by what I've seen so far (especially including the premium ones) is:
- Layered psds
- Color variations
- Icon packs
- ASL, PAT, ABR and other additional files
As you can see it's more than just a bunch of elements. They are created to help you in many steps of the development process. From wireframe to final code they can help everyone, saving time, money, standardizing the interface.
Development life cycle
For practical proposes we'll focus on these items and in this order:
With Postcards you can create and edit email templates online without any coding skills! Includes more than 100 components to help you create custom emails templates faster than ever before. Try now for free!Learn MoreOther Products
- Wireframing – Sketches that shows how elements should be placed and how navigation and overall elements should be placed.
- Designing – Get the wireframes and make them looks actually like sites.
- Prototyping – Get the design and make simple prototypes (with image maps or really simple image slices) so the client and users can start testing main functionality.
- Front-End – Get the design and make the HTML / CSS / JS out of it.
- Dynamic code – Get the front-end and integrate with a CMS or anything like this so the content can be added and removed without touching the HTML.
Now let's see how UI Kits can be applied for each step of your development process
Actually I don't recommend you using any UI kits on this step. In my experience clients will understand better the Wireframe propose if you make it look like a sketch, the less fancy, the better.
But every rule has an exception.
We have a few clients that just want to see things getting done. If you show too simple stuff for them they won't get it at all, and will think that you are just too lazy to finish the draft. So you can mix a few components (like sliders, images, menus) so you don't have to work a lot on effects, alignments and still have a good looking wireframe to show.
OK, UI Kits were first made for this very part of the development cycle. The good things you can do to save time here is:
- Use items as smart objects – If you are just "copying and pasting" it'll be way easier to change all items once, if you use same source file and just mask the rest.
- Use layer styles – Many UI Kits comes with layer styles, you can apply them to your custom shapes so you'll have all items with same look.
- Make a subpack – You can also get bigger packs and cut them in smaller files, with a few related components. So you'll have smaller files and won't be including items that you don't use at all.
- Mark the items you already used – It's good to reuse items, but once a while it's good to change things. Since we have a lot of styles for same items (like menus, buttons, ribbons) it's good to know which ones you haven't used yet but still want to use in the future.
- Be aware of implementation – a few items can be just impossible to do with HTML + CSS and many other requisites that you client may have (for instance, work on IE7). You don't need to be a coder, but if you know the basics you'll identify the" must-use" and "can't-use" items and make things easier for everyone.
- Photoshop CS6 will make things even easier – As we said before it's just awesome. So be ready to use those new features in your interfaces (as they will certainly come in UI packs or other premade psd files).
This is one of the most important steps in my opinion. It'll validate the average look and feel and will allow changes with far less cost than if the site was already implemented.
So UI Kits are good to test components, patterns and how they are better recognized by users (and client, of course). It's crucial to have at least a few variations on this step so you can choose the better alternative. Many people think that we must just stick with a single idea and make it better, but to find the best option you'll need to try several alternatives in a lower scale and improve the best one.
Oh, and we'll talk a lot more on this, also :)
Front-End and Dynamic code
Same rules will apply for both steps since they are quite similar from the design point of view.
The designer could provide you a "subpack" but you can do it your own anyway. It'll save you a lot of time if you use sprites in this step, because you can easily replace the whole set of images but just replacing the main background image. Also it saves you a lot of HTTP requests which reduces the loading time.
Another point is that you can either use HTML UI kits or build your own based on a UI kit, so same way designer easily copy and paste elements you can do it and save a lot of time.
And now, the ROI
Just to make things funnier let's try a little math on this. We've seen how to save time on each step but let's sum up the whole time saved:
- Wireframing – 1h
- Designing – 5h
- Front-End – 2h
- Dynamic Code – 1h
So you have saved 9h for each project. Also, let's assume that you have bought the Impressionist UI for $149 (for almost 100B of seriously cool stuff, 300 elements and 200 icons for unlimited projects) and used in 5 projects.
Then you've got 45h saved (9h per project). Assuming that you are a great boss and pays around $30 for each hour, you saved around $1,350 by the end of the 5 projects.
The ROI formula is:
Where r is our rate, Vf is our final value (or return) and Vi is our initial value (or investment).
So your ROI will be:
1350-149 = 8.06043 a.k.a. ~806%
(and you thought that 30% was a good rate, huh?)
What do you think about it?

She's only 24, but Kacey Musgraves has been around long enough to know that Nashville moves in cycles. The rising country star, whose "Merry Go 'Round" has spent much of the last few months inside the top 20, remembers when LeAnn Rimes set off a search for "another young girl with a big voice."
"Now they're all looking for the next Taylor Swift," Musgraves said recently. "Then someone else is gonna come along and create a new normal, when in reality they should probably be looking for something different altogether."
Nashville may have found it in Musgraves, as well as two more young singer-songwriters, Ashley Monroe and Caitlin Rose, all with new albums out this month. The up-and-comers, who seem equally indebted style-wise to Alison Krauss and Katy Perry, are walking through doors Swift and Miranda Lambert helped open.
SPRING ARTS PREVIEW: Art | Pop | Country
Those superstars brightened up country's sound over the past half-decade with their pop savvy; they aged down its vernacular too with talky, lifelike lyrics. Now performers like Musgrave are working in an industry that's come to respect young women who write their own songs.

|Vaccination while on HAART
Dec 7, 2008
I am currently on Isentress and Truvada. I got my flu shot the day before yesterday (which caused me to feel like I had the flu for about 24 hours), and I am due for a vl lab in about a week. Can the flu shot cause a viral load increase notwithstanding the fact that I am taking the meds? If so, for how long will that increase last?
Response from Dr. Young
Thanks for your post.
As you point out, vaccinations can transiently increase viral load- this is usually of no significance, except that the values can cause confusion when interpreting tests.
I usually try to avoid requesting VLs within 1 week of the vaccine- you should be ok from this respect.
Be well, BY

Sweat electrolytes is a test that measures the level of chloride in sweat. Sweat chloride test is the standard test used to diagnose cystic fiborsis.
Sweat test; Sweat chloride; Iontophoretic sweat test
A colorless, odorless chemical that causes sweating is applied to a small area on an arm or leg. An electrode is then attached to the spot. A weak electrical current is sent to the area to stimulate sweating.
People may feel a tingling in the area, or a feeling of warmth. This part of the procedure lasts for about 5 minutes.
Next, the stimulated area is cleaned and the sweat is collected on a piece of filter paper or gauze, or in a plastic coil.
After 30 minutes, the collected sweat is sent to a hospital lab to be tested. The collection takes about 1 hour.
No special steps are needed before this test.
The test is not painful. Some people have a tingling feeling at the site of the electrode. This feeling may cause discomfort in small children.
Sweat testing is the standard method for diagnosing cystic fibrosis. People with cystic fibrosis have higher amounts of sodium and chloride in their sweat that are detected by the test.
Some people are tested because of symptoms they are having. In the U.S., newborn screening programs test for cystic fibrosis. The sweat test is used to confirm these results.
Note: mmol/L = millimole per liter
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Some conditions, such as dehydration or swelling (edema) can affect the test results.
An abnormal test may mean that the child has cystic fibrosis.

text: Friday, October 28, 2011 APTA Staff Structure Realignment: Impact on Members and the Profession On October 7 APTA announced a new staff structure that will take effect on January 1, 2012. The new structure is designed to ensure APTA is properly aligned to achieve its goals by providing for more efficiency, enhancing role clarity, building more trust across the association, and making the association more effective. So what will the impact of these changes be on APTA members? APTA needs to improve every day so that we continue to be a great organization. So the goals of the staff structure reforms are to: Provide better support for best practice so that best practice is driving advocacy and policy. This will increase our effectiveness as we represent the interests of APTA members and the physical therapy profession in Washington, in state capitols and with other health care policy makers in the United States. Provide better products for APTA members, including member education, insurance programs and job bank information. We want to provide the best member services possible. Provide better service to APTA components by providing the best professional services possible for our component management clients. This will help components as they advocate for their members and provide the best services for their members. During the deliberations on the staff structure reforms the following criteria were used to guide decisions: Would a change provide for more efficiency (reduce duplication/redundancies)? Would a change provide role clarity for APTA's units, departments and individual staff? Would a change help to better address staff performance? Would a change enhance trust across the association? Would a change provide for more effectiveness? How will the new staff structure meet these goals? Examples include: The newly titled Governance and Administration Unit (previously the Executive Unit) now will include the Component Services Department. This will bring together two areas that deal with governance, one at the national level and the other at the component level. Synergies and efficiencies should be realized by bringing together the programs on leadership, Board-staff development and better governance, which will lead to more effectiveness in these programs for these governance areas. The newly titled Finance and Business Unit now will include the Association Management Services (AMS) Department, previously the Component Management Services Department. Conducting this work in this unit recognizes the role we play in serving our clients in AMS. The components are 501(c)(6) organizations with a unique connection to APTA, both through their bylaws and through the relationships we have between APTA national and the components. Through AMS, APTA needs to provide the best services possible to our component clients at the best price possible. Also under the Finance and Business Unit is a new department called the Business Development Department. This department will include the insurance programs, Strategic Business Partners Program, ad sales, job bank coordination, outsourced products, and other potential business development opportunities for APTA. Bringing these areas together in the Finance and Business Unit will help to bring better focus to these non-dues revenue generating areas. The Member Relations Unit now will include the Professional Development Department. The provision of education for our members is member-focused, thus the move to the Member Relations Unit. The goals of this area are: (1) to fully implement the Board decisions on the recommendations from the Task Force on Member Education and Meetings, including the closer relationship with our components in the provision of education; (2) to ensure that all education being provided by the association is coordinated through this department; and (3) to provide the highest quality education to as many member and non-members as possible. We will be creating a new Public Policy and Professional Affairs Unit that will include advocacy, payment, practice, and research. The goal of bringing these critical areas together into one unit is to allow staff to collaborate more efficiently in these areas and provide better role clarity for the departments and staff in these areas. This will lead to a more effective ability to meet the challenging goals we have established for the policy, payment, practice, and research issues facing the physical therapy profession. This also will help to ensure that best practice is the driving force behind our policy development and advocacy. In the Communications Unit, the Information Resources Department will move to this unit. Information resources works closely with the communications area and this move will help to further focus the work of this area toward serving member and staff needs. An association should comprehensively review its staff structure on a regular basis to ensure that the association is properly aligned to achieve its goals. It has been four years since APTA's staff structure was comprehensively reviewed. While a staff structure review may not always lead to realignment, in this case we believed it is necessary due to significant changes in our association, the profession and in the external world. These staff structure changes are not due to cost-cutting pressures that other health care businesses and associations are experiencing. APTA continues to thrive, with continued growth in revenues, increasing membership numbers and increased attendance at our meetings. We are actively addressing the issues of importance to the profession. The staff structure changes are intended to make APTA a more efficient and effective organization so that we can continue to prosper well into the future. If you have any questions about the new staff structure reforms at APTA, please contact John Barnes, Chief Executive Officer at APTA, at email@example.com. Comments PTs are problem-solvers. We always want to know "what's the problem that needs attention?". On Oct 7 we were told of a solution, i.e., staff restructuring at our national association, but we were unaware of the problem being fixed. This explanation helps our understanding of why there was a need to change. Thank you. Jeannie Cushman, PT, Chief Delegate, Vermont Posted by Jeannie Cushman, PT, MS on 10/29/2011 4:56 PM Just wondering what unit will now be in charge of the branding of PT and promotion of physical therapy to the broader community? Thanks Amy Hammerich, PT, DPT President, Colorado Chapter APTA Posted by Amy Hammerich on 10/29/2011 5:31 PM I still have many questions about this change. Why now? What involvement did the board have in this change? What financial implications will it have? Why did it take 3 weeks for an explanation when it should have been immediate? Why move people who have expertise to other areas? Are you setting them up for failure? How will this improve the efficiency you mentioned? Was the governance review delay because of this move? With respect, this smells of a power move and resembles little more that rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Posted by Sam Brown, Pt, DPT, CSCS on 10/30/2011 1:37 PM Please provide information on whether the total number of jobs at APTA are being reduced because of this. If jobs are lost, please provide a breakdown of how many are lost in each division affecting us as members. Posted by Paul Brager on 10/31/2011 6:07 PM Questions about the staff structure can be e-mailed to CEO John Barnes at the address provided in the article.

Now that security software pioneer John McAfee is out of the grasps of the Belize government, he's come out and said that he was the ultimate spymaster.
McAfee has lied to the public in the past, and he went on TV to say he loves hoaxes, so you have to take EVERYTHING he says with a grain of salt.
He says that after Belize police raided his house in April, he sought revenge.
So he says bought 75 laptops, loaded them with keystroke monitoring software, and gave them as presents to government employees, police officers, and other powerful people in Belize.
McAfee says he then hired 23 women and six men to be his "operatives." He says he trained them how to do things like access and load software onto someone's computer, and how to hack into someone's phone.
He says some of those women were also "pillow talk" masters who used their seductive charm to get information out of employees at Belize's two national phone companies.
Throughout his process, McAfee says he uncovered an "uncountable" number of sexual affairs, discovered that the Prime Minster personally ordered the murder of alled Belizean gang leader Arthur Young, and found a link between Belize and the Hezbollah terrorist organization.
Read McAfee's full saga on his blog.

Who says smoking pot makes folks mellow?
In Colorado, where Peyton Manning's decision to purchase a bunch of Papa John's restaurants became even more brilliant after marijuana was legalized, there's a downside to owning a business at a time when everyone is paying attention to the exploits of the local NFL team: It can get robbed.
According to TMZ, bandits hit one of Manning's pizza joints during Sunday night's win over the Chiefs. CBS Sports has confirmed the report with police, explaining that the robbers raided the cash register.
Though Peyton won't miss the money, we've got a feeling he'll be motivated to find the perpetrators — and to ensure that they're brought to justice. Perhaps by ordering them into a porta potty for 20 minutes.

Book Prize Blog: The Hour Between Dog and Wolf, by John Coates
In the last of our Book Prize Blogs, Holly Story reads 'The Hour Between Dog and Wolf' – a non-fiction book by former Wall Street trader John Coates, which explores how human biology may influence the financial markets.
I expected that The Hour Between Dog and Wolf would introduce me to an unfamiliar world, a complex and baffling place that I knew almost nothing about. And I was right. But it was not the author's insights into the obscurities of the financial markets that kept me reading for three hundred pages. Instead I found myself on a journey of discovery around the equally mysterious workings of the human body.
John Coates's book is an exploration of how our brains and bodies work together to produce gut feelings, fast reactions, thrilling highs and stress-induced lows. He combines his scientific knowledge with first-hand experience of financial trading to produce a hypothesis of how biological processes may fuel the behaviour of city traders.
Each chapter engages with a characteristic of a trader or his work: his ability to react quickly to new information for instance, or how gut feelings inform the decisions he makes. Coates then unravels the biology behind these behaviours. He also introduces us to a fictional group of Wall Street traders – Martin, Gwen, Scott and Logan – who are unwittingly hurtling towards a financial crisis, picking up their story intermittently throughout the book and using it to show biology in action.
It is an interesting approach to explaining the culture of city trading, and Coates constructs a compelling argument. But for me, it was the biology that stole the show.
Throughout the book, Coates treats us to entertaining information about the human body or shows us unexpected new ways of considering our day-to-day activities. Collapsing in front of a film may seem far from a physical activity – but doesn't your heart thump as James Bond leaps into his Aston Martin? As Coates points out, we go to the movies because they "take our bodies on a rollercoaster ride". And did you know that taking a cold plunge after a sauna could help you to react better to stressful situations? Or that, according to the 'facial feedback theory of emotions', botox may inhibit your emotions?
Biology thus provides us with a novel perspective on our habitual behaviour. But as I processed all this new information, I couldn't help thinking that biology often seemed to be confirming what old wives have been telling us for centuries. Coates presents a lot of recent research in the book, both his own and that of others, but it is fascinating how often fresh knowledge about our bodies seems to confirm old suspicions. For example, biology may teach us how our physical response to a situation could shape our experience of emotion. But, as Coates points out, this link has always been evident in "our everyday use of emotional language" such as when we speak of "receiving bad news with a sinking stomach, a broken heart, or blood- boiling anger".
Similarly, many of us, when feeling reluctant to try something new or challenge ourselves, have been counselled that it is 'good for us' to get out of our 'comfort zone'. Well, this common wisdom may just contain a nugget of biological truth. Scientists experimenting with techniques to build our resilience to stress, have found that we might be able to build our mental toughness in the same way that we develop physical fitness, that is by a "process of challenge … followed by recovery". So it seems we are right in our suspicion that tackling new and challenging experiences is good for us – even if we would rather stay in bed.
Of course, not all old wives' tales are true, and it would be ridiculous to suggest that we have nothing to learn from science. However, as Coates points out, sometimes it's nice when scientific discoveries "do not scare the pants off us". It is easy to be frightened of scientific knowledge, but Coates does a brilliant job of showing us that looking at ourselves as a biological organism, scrutinising our emotions or dissecting our decision-making, "[is not] a dehumanizing experience at all".
What is far more dangerous, and, Coates argues, far more costly, is to ignore our biology and the power of our bodies to influence our brains.

Will County Sheriff's Police say a 25-year-old Chicago man suspected of burglarizing a Crete-area home Tuesday afternoon nearly hit a squad car during the five-mile high-speed chase prior to his arrest near Crete-Monee Middle School.
Jose A. Yanez-Sanchez of the 1000 block of Northeast Circle Drive is scheduled to appear at a bond hearing this afternoon in Will County Circuit Court in Joliet on charges of residential burglary, reckless driving, speeding/driving more than 40 mph above the speed limit, fleeing/attempting to elude police, disregarding a stop sign, improper lane use and failure to reduce speed to avoid a collision.
Crete Police responding to a 2:50 p.m. burglary call in the Balmoral Woods subdivision reportedly activated their emergency lights and siren when they spotted a silver 2005 Nissan Altima leaving the home on the 100 block of Tam O Shanter Drive.
Sheriff's spokesman Kathy Hoffmeyer said the Altima, allegedly driven by Yanez-Sanchez, outpaced Crete Police and forced deputies who joined the pursuit at one point "to take evasive actions in order to avoid being struck by the high-speed vehicle."
Yanez-Sanchez allegedly was westbound on Crete-Monee Road south of University Park, approximately one mile west of Western Avenue, when he turned north onto Highland Avenue.
Three persons reportedly ran from the Altima into a nearby cornfield after it left the roadway, striking a utility pole.
Officers from University Park, Peotone, Crete, and Illinois State Police set up a perimeter at the scene. Crete Police apprehended Yanez-Sanchez exiting the field near Western, Hoffmeyer said.
Neither passenger was located, despite the support of a helicopter from the Lake County Indiana Sheriff's Police, Hoffmeyer said.
She declined to discuss what items, if any, were recovered.
Yanez-Sanchez, who was booked into the Will County Adult Detention Facility under the name Yanez, was also cited for unlicensed driving, failure to report a motor vehicle collision and operating an uninsured motor vehicle.
He was being held without bail this morning in the Joliet jail.
Residential burglary is a Class 1 felony, with a sentencing range of up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Dairy farmer Dino Giacomazzi helped farmers at Top Producer Seminar in Chicago sort through apps and technologies they can use to streamline day-to-day business and a few farm chores. Giacomazzi, a California native, talked about the benefits of Dropbox, PDF notes, Evernote and Remember the Milk. He said cloud computing allows him to access and manage his farm from just about anywhere—whether it's at the dairy, home office or vacation. He said keeps all of his business files in Dropbox, which is a free service up to 2GB that lets you bring your photos, documents and videos anywhere and share them easily. Giacomazzi said he can access any of his documents from numerous devices, regardless of location. Dropbox also allows him to share folders and files with other individuals. He said he has 94 shared folders between his farm managers, veterinarian and nutritionist. "This is the best way I have found to store, share and access information for the least amount of money," Giacomazzi said, noting that he pays for the upgraded version. Another application he depends on is Evernote. This app is designed to help users remember and act upon ideas, projects and experiences across all computers, phones and tablets. One example of how Giacomazzi uses Evernote is to track equipment maintenance on all of his tractors. He said he has downloaded all the Kubota manuals so if he needs a part he has access to the size, type and anything else he might need to order it. Within Evernote is a tool called sketch. Giacomazzi said he takes pictures of equipment or parts, and then using sketch will diagram the dimensions of the equipment. He can then send this image to a store to see if they have the same one in stock. "Evernote helps me remember everything," Giacomazzi said. "I can store pictures, e-mails, leave a voice note and talk and have it dictated to text." Giacomazzi said anyone can use today's technology to their benefit. It just takes a little effort and time spent searching for apps that fit your farm, he said. See full coverage of the 2013 Top Producer Seminar. ....................................

Is called before Base.destroy.
Note: If you need to destroy or nullify associated records first, use the :dependent option on your associations.
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/callbacks.rb, line 327 def before_destroy() end
Where you declare before_destroy matters
Beware that where you declare a before_destroy callback matters if you have any "acts_as" type declarations, that also declare before_destroy callbacks. A good example is the acts_as_nested_set. If you specify acts_as_nested_set prior to your before_destroy, then acts_as_nested_set will go through and destroy all children first, then your callback will run (at which point children will be empty). Thus, if your before_destroy callback needs to examine the children, it will not work properly. Putting your before_destroy callback ahead of acts_as_nested_set or anything else that declares a before_destroy is key in such cases.

Lecture 4A: Energy Exchange and Maxwell's Demon
Published on
Objective: To incorporate distributed energy exchange processes into the previous models from lectures 1 through 3 which are based on a "Landauer-like picture" where the Joule heating associated with current flow occurs entirely in the two contacts. Although there is experimental evidence that this idealization is not too far from the truth in many nanodevices of today, dissipation generally occurs throughout the channel. Moreover there is great interest in energy conversion devices that convert heat into electricity or use electrical energy to pump heat. Our purpose here is (1) to describe the basic principles that must be obeyed by any model for energy conversion processes in order to comply with the laws of thermodynamics and (2) to convey the insights that nanodevices provide into the subtle issues of irreversibility that Boltzmann struggled with over a century ago when he constructed the first transport theory.

Captain's Report
By Capt. Rob Smith
I have heard SS used for a number of different things on boats and cars, but were it not for knowing Owen Maxwell and his wife Joan, I probably would have just laughed at finding out it stood for Starboard Seating, especially on a center console offshore fishing machine from Regulator. This unique new design from Lou Codega and produced by Regulator really has a future. I meet quite a few families on the docks and ramps packing up for a day of serious angling. It is rivaling NASCAR in its allure as a family activity. So, I guess in reality, it shouldn't be much of a surprise to find Regulator producing a new angle on a boat that is just as comfortable taking the family and neighbors out for a sunset cruise as it will be taking the family or a boat load of eager fishing friends out to the Middle Grounds or the Canyons.
Owen tells everyone this new boat has the largest cockpit in its class. I haven't measured them all, but he probably is right. Regulator moved the engines about three feet off the stern on an Armstrong bracket freeing up the entire cockpit for the anglers. Most in her class have the engines mounted securely in the stern with a well in front of them that eats up 32" or so. This new arrangement gives you about the same cockpit room as a 35' Sportfish inboard.
Regulator builds each boat by hand using some of the finest gel coats and composites available. The exterior layer of the hull is very thick (looks like about ½") and has multiple layers of glass roving and mat. Regulator sands between each layer insuring a solid bond between the layers. Divinicel composites add strength to the hull and decks. Rather than using aluminum plates for reinforcement material, Regulator uses an ABS material that will never corrode and deteriorate. The strakes begin with two layers of glass and resin followed by a polybond in the angles. This is then glassed in with the succeeding layers of the hull creating a super strong piece ready to take the off-shore abuse. All this along with a grillage system that is made of fiberglass and then glassed into the hull before taking the hull out of the mold adds weight.
Regulator uses that added weight along with a Deep-V design to achieve the "Regulator Ride" that is talked about on the circuit. Small stainless screws that often leave a rust trail on other boats have additional chrome plating eliminating that on a Regulator. Stainless steel thru-hulls have a silicone gasket between the outer lip and the hull that eliminates the adhesive that usually turns color over time. You still use an adhesive on the interior hull side. Deck cleats have a unique gasket that when bolted down to the hull activates material in it to form an almost unbreakable bond, once again eliminating a need for adhesive caulking topside.
The Regulator 34SS has a handy fold-away rear bench seat that is very easy to open and stow. Combing pads continue 360 degrees around the gunwales of the boat. Large scuppers are in the corners of the stern with another scupper in the bow seating area. Any water that finds a way to enter the boat quickly exits through these scuppers which are large enough to keep most leaves and pieces of bait from stopping them up.
The test boat I ran had several optional pieces onboard, so be sure and verify what is standard and what is optional. The optional T-top is ready for extra gear. Flats are reinforced and designed to make plumbing the wiring simple with a removable panel in the front of the overhead box on the forward edge. You can have custom colors on the hull and even on the underside of the optional top. The leaning post/seat system has two independently adjustable seats with bolsters large enough to be a decent backrest when standing and leaning.
This system had a baitwell, sink and cutting board behind the seat, tackle box storage on the port side and room to stow brushes and other items in the starboard side. The console has two electronics panel sections molded into one. The large upper section is tilted back about 25 degrees and large enough for multiple full-sized displays. Below this panel is another section angled at 45 degrees for engine electronics. This arrangement keeps the readouts and screens in good view whether standing, leaning or seated at the helm.
Here is where this becomes a not-so-typical center console. To the right of the console is another cabinet with a covered sink in the top and two draws behind a hatch below. The console is shifted slightly to port so there is a better view from the seating forward to what is going on aft. Going to the port side, I found about 24" of space between the console and the gunwale. Inside, I was shocked to find so much room in a center console boat that is 34' long! I had more than stand-up room and a nice wide entry door. This model had a refrigerator, microwave, VacuFlush toilet, vanity with sink and shower wand and even optional air conditioning that Owen swears will run about six hours on batteries and indefinitely with the engines running. The 81" double bed extends under the bow deck, and that doesn't include the floor space in the stand up portion.
Back topside going forward, the port and starboard boxes are positioned farther forward, adding more weight forward to help with the ride and get up on plane faster. These insulated boxes can be used for stowing rods and other gear. The center has a large locker for stowing oversized items. Without the cushions, you have a high, yet still protected casting deck or observation deck to work from. The bench seats wrap from just forward of the console on the port side all the way around the bow, down the starboard side and back across the front of the console. I believe you can have the capacity of the boat setting up front and have room to add a few more! The portion of the bench across the front of the console was well thought-out. Usually, the backrests or headrests are thin and once you add the T-top structure, not thick enough to lean back without have a memorable knot in the back of your head. These are thick and well placed, and are as comfortable as the seat cushions themselves.Specifications
The 34SS from Regulator measures 33'10" length overall without a bracket and 38'6" with the Armstrong bracket included. The beam measures 10'11" and her fuel capacity is 380 gallons. Dry weight with engines comes in at approximately 11,115 lbs. The huge double opening transom box has a 340 qt. capacity and freshwater capacity is 35 gallons. This model is designed for up to 350-hp twin outboards strapped to her stern.Test Results
I tested the 34SS in the Intracoastal Waterway near the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show. We took a couple of interested clients just outside of the cut into some six to seven footers, then turned back to do testing in more calm conditions. The only water I got hit with was in the big rolling seas that were twisting around like a washing machine as we spun around in a tight turn. I had been out there last year in conditions not quite as big, yet couldn't stay out at all in some of the other fishing boats or a 35' cruising boat I was testing. The Regulator shook off the water like a hound dog and gladly made its way back. The weight, bow deadrise and Carolina flare combined to provide a softer ride than just about anything I have taken out.
Even in the Intracoastal Waterway, we found some moderate chop and large wakes from passing boats. The no-wake zones, water patrols and occupants of homes along the way had a limiting effect, but I did get a top speed of 48.9 mph at 6000 rpm. Yamaha, earlier in the week and in smoother conditions with a lighter load, got 53 mph at 6000 rpm and topped out at 58.8 mph at 6050 rpm. The 34SS was on top in 5.1 seconds and making 30 mph in 7.1. The most economical speed was around 3500 rpm and 28.3 mph for a full tank range of 426 miles. At 3500 rpm she burned about 22.7 gph registering 1.25 mpg and at top speed she burned 65.9 gph for .74 mpg.Conclusion
The 34 Starboard Seating may sound a little strange and hard-core fishing crews may scoff at the thought, but in reality, it works quite well. With optional bow thrusters, this boat is nearly as maneuverable as a joystick drive. The captain can keep the boat pointed toward the fish relieving you of having to chase it around the gunwales when it runs. I feel Regulator has hit another one out of the park, but you should check it out to see how it fits your needs.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Regulator 34 SS (2009-) is 48.9 mph (78.7 kph), burning 65.9 gallons per hour (gph) or 249.43 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Regulator 34 SS (2009-) is 28.3 mph (45.5 kph), and the boat gets 1.25 miles per gallon (mpg) or 0.53 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 426 miles (685.58 kilometers).
- Tested power is 2 x 350-hp Yamaha F350.

PORT CHESTER, N.Y. -- The third "Ask Astorino" Town Hall meeting was more like listen and then tell Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino what you think -- actually, shout it.
The Republican who is running for a third term this year offered long answers Wednesday night to questions on immigration, his support for the County Center gun show and why Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposal for free college tuition will never be free.
Astorino was frequently interrupted by people waving red cards with the word "No" on them and angry outbursts.
The county executive used the first 30 minutes to discuss his fiscal policies and proposals for improving Kensico Dam Plaza, county airport operations and housing opportunities, admitting that "affordable housing" would never really be affordable.
The session lasted about 80 minutes, but could have lasted another hour or two. Astorino fielded about 10 questions, sidestepping some of them.
"Whether you clapped or booed, we thank you,'' Astorino said. "This is democracy. . .''
The King Street School auditorium seats about 325; the first two rows were filled with Astorino supporters who gave him a standing ovation. Several even tried to shout down other audience members.
Aides handed out flyers detailing Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino's accomplishments which also were detailed in his introductory remarks about protecting taxpayers, preserving essential services and promoting economic growth. Astorino drew his strongest applause when he stuck to those topics.

Weston Independent
Bank Safe Says State Commissi'nr
Institution is Solvent and Sound. L. R. Charter, Jr., tells People; Will Continue to Serve the
People; Bank an Essential
October 7, 1931
Bank Safe Says State Commissi'nr
Institution is Solvent and Sound. L. R. Charter, Jr., tells People; Will Continue to Serve the People; Bank an Essential
Following the closing of the Bank of Weston on Monday and the National Exchange Bank here Friday evening and due to the circulation of false and malicious rumors, the Citizens Bank of Weston was subjected to a run here Saturday. The unfounded and untruthful rumors spread like wildfire, and a large crowd was present at 9 o'clock when the bank opened.
Upon entering the bank the people were told by State Commissioner of Banking L. R. Charter, Jr., that the institution was safe, sound and solven[t], and in a position to meet every demand made upon it. He told the crowd that he had examined the bank and knew it to be absolutely sound. Despite these reassuring words, several terrified depositors and holders of checks kept in line. However, it was not all withdrawals. Many prominent citizens made substantial deposits during the day. When it was all over it was found that the deposits far exceeded the withdrawals. The excitement dwindled down in the afternoon and, after fifteen minutes in the evening, business returned to normalcy.
Monday the storm was over and many who had at first become frightened returned and redeposited their money. Many new accounts were opened and business has continued as usual with the bank this week. Hundreds of Weston business men and prominent farmers expressed their absolute confidence in the institution and showed no fear while the run was on.
The State banking commissioner asked that the customers continue to transact their business in the usual way. He said that it was the patriotic duty of every citizen to assist in maintaining the high standing and unbounded confidence which the institution has enjoyed. He prepared a statement which was posted in the banking house before it opened for business Saturday morning. This statement follows:
"October 3, 1931.
"To the Citizens of Weston and Lewis County:
"For forty years the Citizens Bank of Weston has served the people of this community satisfactorily and well.
"The Citizens Bank of Weston is solvent and is a perfectly safe place in which to deposit money. During its existence it has been able to meet all demands of depositors in the regular transaction of business. It is still able to do this and will continue to do so if the customers continue to transact their business with it in the normal way that they have been accustomed to do. It is necessary for the welfare of the community that the bank be maintained. It is the duty of every patriotic citizen to lend every possible assistance in maintaining the high standing and unbounded confidence which this bank has always enjoyed.
"It is unthinkable that the people of this community should allow this splendid bank to be destroyed by lack of confidence and by idle rumors. We trust that you will continue to support this institution.
L. R. Charter, Jr.,
Commissioner of Banking for West Virginia."
This statement came from the State official whose duty it is to protect the interests of depositors of banks in the State.
The excitement at the time is understandable. In times of stress and excitement and frightened by untrue rumors, people oft times become panic[k]y. Now that the excitement is over and normal conditions have returned, it is hoped that the advice of the statement will be observed. Weston cannot afford to be without a bank. At the present nothing is more essential to its present as well as its future.
The Citizens Bank today, as in the past, stands first in West Virginia. As shown by its statement, it is in excellent condition and is in a position to continue to serve the people of this community. No one questions the fact that a live, wideawake county needs a strong banking institution.
If we are to keep our place at the top of the business world in West Virginia we must have a bank that can take care of our financial needs. The Citizens Bank merits the confidence of every citizen. We need a strong bank in Weston and with the continued support of its thousands of depositors, the Citizens Bank will serve in the future as efficiently as it has served in the past.

Ally has not received any gifts yet
Hi Ally. Check my profile if you would. I am just a decent guy looking for tennis partners. I like to get in 1-2 hours 3-4 times a week. Would probably play every day if weather and schedules permit. I am self-employed with a very flexible light schedule, so you can just hmu ( is that "hit me up" in text speak?, I think) and play on short notice or otherwise. Let's play once and see if we're close enough in skill level to warrant future play.

Hi, CM and Community,
Thanks, as always, for another insightful analysis.
Question: Got Gold?
If all of us know that the Central Bank answer is "Control P", just how long until the rest of the world recognizes this in earnest? That is the $64K question.
I hold Federal Reserve Notes in my hand...they are paper with ink on it. Sure, they have a (decreasing) market value i.e. exchange value. But they are...paper.
Maybe I've been reading this stuff too long. 'Cause I'm thinking: there has got to be a saturation point wherein there is just too much push back by the masses and the paper system / currency is abandoned. Big time.
Reminds me of titration in chemistry class. Just one more drop of the solution and the entire jar turns color...SATURATION.
I know we cant' turn the block back (i.e. Rosebud), but this total connectedness world-wide can be frightening.
All the best,

what happens when lady rng gets shnockered?
last night i was leveling my warlock up in the kun-lai summit and picking fights with the local beasties in between quests. without fail, every time the third pet on the local team was a rare plains monitor. now, this was kinda cool at first, since it allowed me to toss the one poor quality one i started with, and replace it with a full stable of three rares. these are gonna come in handy when i begin to seriously push toward pro pet mob. but after the first three? it got a little depressing, having to deliberately kill rares. not to mention the fact that they took more work to down than their poor siblings.
i know the game wasn't doing this the last time i went through kun-lai. i'm curious to see how long it keeps up. a day? until the next server restart?

AppGratis, a popular app that used a variety of techniques to promote other apps, has been pulled from the App Store for violating Apple's guidelines. Specifically, clauses 2.25 and 5.6, according to AllThingsD:
2.25 Apps that display Apps other than your own for purchase or promotion in a manner similar to or confusing with the App Store will be rejected.
5.6 Apps cannot use Push Notifications to send advertising, promotions, or direct marketing of any kind.
AppGratis is definitely not the only app available in the App Store that provides recommendations for apps on a paid basis. It's also not the only app shopping app that's been removed in recent months. AppGratis just received a large round of funding so this is no doubt a huge issue for them going forward. Once again, some clarity and consistency from Apple on just what exactly they want to avoid would be welcome.
Did any of you use AppGratis? Did their promotion cause any confusion or cross any lines for you?
