When they do so, they typically rely on the dealer to get
a payoff figure from the finance company, and end up paying
whatever the dealer claims is due. Early termination can
cost the consumer thousands of dollars, and sometimes dealers
will pad termination fees with improper charges.
Not long ago, more than 200 Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealers
in California agreed to pay fines totaling $822,500 for
alleged deceptive Leasing
practices. The dealers were accused of adding undisclosed
and improper charges in calculating balances due from consumers
who chose to terminate their automobile leases early.
It seems everyone wins when you trade a lease and auto
lease transfers. The person getting rid of the auto lease
may get out for far less than he would have with his original
leasing company; the person assuming the lease as thaey
trade a lease or take over the lease stands to find a great
lease deal, and the site facilitates the whole car lease
transfer process. The leasing companies are happy, of course,
because they'll continue to collect monthly lease payments.
Advertise your car lease or the lease for trade or for sell
or transfer here. LeaseTrader.com, the largest, the originator
of the auto lease transfer process and where most of lease
transfers in the market place, lease buyers looking to take
over a short term lease like yours, must undergo a credit
check before they are able to contact lease sellers looking
to get out of a lease. This is an incredible service available,
for lease sellers looking to end a lease or trade a lease
before the contractual lease end date, since automobile
leasing companiesy or better called the actual owner of
you automobile must approve the lease transfer transaction
before thay would allow you to get out of a lease or allow
some one to assume a lease. An alternative for people facing
large, lease-end "extra wear and tear" fees or "extra mileage"
fees -- which can run 10 cents a mile and up -- is to consider
a third-party buyout called a car lease full assumption.
Specially if you think you can sell the car lease for more
than it would cost you to buy the car yourself and pay the
early car lease termination dealer fees. Even if your leasing
company is a willing participant to alloow you to trade
out of a lease, it's important to investigate what you truly
stand to benefit. Caution that third-party automobile buyouts
are not the best bet for everyone that has a lease. In 99%
of the cases, I would say it makes sense to return the vehicle
that you are not able to transfer through a lease assumption,"
Stiberman says. "At the moment the initial car lease is
made, the car leasing company sets a residual value for
the vehicle that tends to be higher than what the market
value of the vehicle is at (return) time." This can make
it difficult for you to sell a car lease at a high enough
price to cover your expenses entirely -- but if nothing
else, you could mitigate your losses. A final word It should
be noted that while these sites offer their services for
a fee, it is sometimes possible to make transfers by yourself.
In all cases, the leasing company must be involved. "Before
these services came along, it was not uncommon to see classified
ads in local papers from people trying to get out of their
leases, But in many cases, the lease company wasn't informed.
The people (selling their leases) didn't realize they were
still liable for the lease if the new person stopped making
payments or the car disappeared. They were just looking
for someone to assume the car payments." Early Lease Termination
of an auto lease can be costly, but LeaseTrader makes it
easy to transfer a lease, a cost effective option if you
want to get out of your car lease early. Their Leasing Transfer
specialists help lease customers through each step of the
lease transfer process. Furthermore, if you want to get
into a short term lease this is also the website to check
our car lease ads. Don't miss out on low auto lease payments!!

It's well-known that every natural number can be written as a sum of 4 squares of integers.
Has there been any recent progress about the similar problem for the cubes, 4-th powers and so on? I believe this was proven to be representable using some N — that depends on the power — and what's the story about it?

text: Service Center Fifth Street Redevelopment Scam Calls Advanced Meters In Your Neighborhood Education Programs Rocky Reach Discovery Center Public Power Benefit Program Blog Related Pages Health Information Advanced Meter FAQs Web Links Myths vs. Facts How a Smart Grid Keeps Your Power On Home / Learning Center / Advanced Meters / Advanced Meters On a majority vote on Dec. 4, 2017, commissioners authorized staff to move forward with advanced, two-way metering as a preferred alternative for future customer meters and as part of a new customer technology program. Commissioners reviewed extensive outreach and research done since 2005, and heard from seven customers who spoke at Monday's meeting about health and safety concerns. Several asked for an "opt-in" provision rather than "opt-out" if an eventual decision is reached on installing the smart meters. John Stoll, Customer Utilities managing director, said there is value for customers by combining the customer information system with features that use data provided by advanced meters that includes: Faster and more accurate outage notification and faster service restoration Faster response on billing questions Ability to manage a PUD account from anywhere More accurate billing and fewer estimated bills Less need for a PUD employee to enter customer property Easier energy use management Help to decide if a conservation program will save money Commissioner Ann Congdon said it was a difficult decision, but she voted against taking the next step toward advanced meters because "there are too many negatives, for my part, in terms of health effects." All board members thanked those who spoke for sharing their opinions and concerns. Commissioner Garry Arseneault urged them to take their concerns about the technology to other authorities with responsibilities for controlling the use of radio frequencies in our daily lives, too. General Manager Steve Wright said the board's decision will aid the planning process, with details to be developed as part of system design and asking for proposals on specific equipment. Plans are to ask commissioners for a decision to proceed with a request for proposals for advanced meters in about a year. In April of 2017, the PUD participated in more than 18 community forums to talk with customer-owners about advanced two-way digital electric meters. We estimate as many as 450 people were reached "face-to-face." In addition, about 33,000 post cards were mailed to customers and 33,000 emails were sent to our email data base. We also reached out to customers through newspaper and online ads and a variety of radio interviews. We included information in our customer newsletter that goes to every customer. We did our best to make sure customers received information about the meters in more ways than one and more than once. In our 18 informational meetings across Chelan County the discussion has been excellent. During these conversations, some questions and concerns have centered around radio frequency (RF) and electro-magnetic fields (EMF) and the potential these energy fields have to cause cancer or other health impacts. There is a lot of misinformation being circulated about health effects and purported health studies that detail adverse impacts from advanced, two-way meters. One section of our website is dedicated to this discussion, but more importantly, here is some very specific information from the American Cancer Society. In part, the Cancer Society says: It would be nearly impossible to conduct a study to prove or disprove a link between living in a house with smart meters and cancer because people have so many sources of exposure to RF and the level of exposure from this source is so small. Because, the amount of RF radiation you could be exposed to from a smart meter is much less than what you could be exposed to from a cell phone, it is very unlikely that living in a house with a smart meter increases risk of cancer. The World Health Organization has promised to conduct a formal assessment of the risks from RF exposure but this report is not yet available. Another concern we heard was the potential for smart meters to interfere with pacemakers, here is what the Cancer Society website went on to say: One concern expressed is that the RF waves produced by smart meters might interfere with electronic medical devices such as a heart pacemaker. A study that examined the effect of smart meters on pacemakers and implantable defibrillators found that the smart meters did not interfere with these devices. We want to hear from you and hope you will take the time to let us know your questions or concerns. Email us and let us know what you are thinking. Replacing electric meters with advanced, two-way digital meters allows for the timely collection of energy use data that will help you make energy-saving decisions. We are committed to providing our customer-owners with industry-leading service and reliability. We want to give you the tools to manage your own energy use, as well as being notified about outages or upcoming system repairs – all through technology. We are researching advanced meters and talking with our customer-owners about the new digital meters. Our goal is to upgrade your meter and provide you with your own self-service "dashboard" capability to manage your account, just as you do with many of your other online accounts. Advanced Metering Basics Advanced, two-way digital metering, also known as Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) or sometimes called "smart meters," is a safe and proven technology that is widely used across the US. More than 500 utilities across the nation are already using this technology, with 50 million advanced meters installed in 43 percent of American households (Institute for Electric Innovation, 2014). AMI is a building block for a more efficient electric system, often called the smart grid. It will provide many benefits to customers and greatly improve operational efficiencies. The meters will: Empower customers to make energy-saving choices Improve customer service and outage response Reduce environmental impact How Does Advanced Metering Work? Advanced, two-way digital meters will connect homes and businesses to the PUD and will collect customer meter reads automatically. This means that: Advanced digital meters record customer energy-use information throughout the day, just as today's meters do. Customer energy-use information is sent several times a day to us, using radio frequency (RF) waves. This is similar to the wireless communications used by cell phones and WiFi. The meters will transmit data for a maximum of 90 seconds per day. Once it's within our secure firewall, the information will be matched up with customer accounts for billing and other customer service activities. Fast Facts Similar to your existing electric meter, the new digital meter is installed on the outside of your home or business. Actual data transmission using RF occurs in milliseconds or less than one minute per day. Many of your existing appliances and mobile devices, such as microwaves and cell phones, transmit far higher RF levels and often are much closer to you than a digital meter.

Current meters Are manually read by meter readers every month, creating opportunities for billing errors and estimations. Require meter readers to drive more than 200,000 miles annually to record customer data. This creates vehicle fuel costs and produces pollution from vehicle trips. Cannot alert the utility to power outages (Chelan PUD currently relies on customer phone calls to know when the power is out). Do not have built-in safety features. Advanced meters Uses secure wireless communications to send energy-use information directly to us. Enables customers to view their energy-use information daily. This can empower you to make energy- and money- saving choices. Alerts us to power outages, enabling a faster outage response. Creates more reliable customer billing. Advanced Metering reduces several manual processes, helping to ensure meters are read correctly and customers are billed accurately every time. Provides added safety features like sensors that can detect increasing temperatures.

Cal Fire-Butte County will suspend all residential outdoor burns starting Saturday, according to the agency.
The burn permit suspension was issued earlier this year because of the lack of rain, which has resulted in drier-than-normal conditions, according to Cal Fire-Butte County. The burn ban will remain in effect until conditions improve. Biggs and Gridley will not be affected by the suspension, only the unincorporated areas of Butte County.
Paradise and Oroville will start their dooryard burn ban on Sunday, according to Cal Fire-Butte County. Agricultural burning will not be affected by the suspension.
People found burning during the suspension period will be subject to appropriate civil or criminal action, according to the agency.

Jack also needs to be honored for his actions far away from San Juan County.
Just one month after his 20th birthday, on June 6, 1944, Jack Codner found himself on Omaha Beach on D Day. He carried with him the memories of that great and terrible day for the remainder of his life.
Codner fought through Normandy and through France during that pivotal year of 1944. He spent a terrible winter in the Black Forest of Germany before he was injured by a burst of machine gun fire. He received three Purple Hearts for his sacrifice.
Leaving the fields of battle in Europe did not mark the end of the war for Jack. He continued to fight the war each and every day for the subsequent 63 years of his life. Codner knew and lived the challenges of Post Traumatic Stress long before PTSD was identified.
Despite the severe and ongoing challenges he faced as a battle veteran, Jack and his wife Devon were able to raise a wonderful family while being a tremendous asset to our communities.
He is yet another of the growing number of World War II veterans who have passed away. As we mark another Veterans day, the 62nd since the end of World War II, we have fewer and fewer chances to thank those who were willing to pay such a terrible price, those so many years ago, to preserve our freedoms.
A heartfelt thank you to all veterans near and far, aged and young, injured or whole.

Let the games begin!
For the first time since 1991, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has revisited how they manage the 1.8 million acres of public BLM land in San Juan County.
The Monticello Field Office has released a draft Resource Management Plan (RMP) and draft Environmental Impact Study (EIS) for the field office.
The draft plans address the basic allocation for land use in all but the northern portion of BLM land in San Juan County (that area is covered by the Moab Field Office). Areas covered include OHV use, oil and gas leasing, grazing, riparian areas, and wild and scenic rivers.
This is the key management document for those who support multiple use for public lands.
The 1,300 page draft report culminates more than four years of work. The draft report was completed with the cooperation and input of San Juan County and the State of Utah.
This is the last of six RMPs for BLM lands in Utah. It follows on the heels of similar draft reports in the Richfield, Price, Vernal, Kanab and Moab offices.
The biggest change appears to be with Off Highway Vehicles. Fully open land has shrunk from 611,000 acres to 2,311 acres. Other than that, OHV use may be restricted to designated roads.
More than 70,000 public comments were received for the Price area draft plan and they are still pouring in on the Moab area draft plan.
Stay tuned for public meetings on the issue and think about submitting comments by the February 8 deadline.

I headed down to Ingersoll with Laura to get some scenic photos to help a modeller, and caught some interesting trains in the process. CN #271 had a hotbox going over the detector at mile 53 (Ingersoll is mile 59) on the North track. Unfortunately there are no switches oriented the right way in the area to set off the car with a melted journal and the train tied up the North track for nearly 3 hours while it waited for CN #581 to finish up at Cami and come out, cross over at Blain, 8 miles to the East, and put the car in an industrial track near Beachville.This image viewed 11 times, as of last night.

Late last night the Dodgers and Padres were involved in an ugly bench-clearing brawl.
And unfortunately, the worst-possible scenario occurred as Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke suffered a broken collarbone during the fracas, ESPN reports.
Greinke, who just signed a six-year, $147 million contract this off-season as a free agent, appeared to injure his arm when Carlos Quentin first charged the mound after being hit by a pitch. The two players lowered their shoulders as they collided. Greinke was also under a large pile of players for a period of time.
Inevitably, this injury will now raise the issue of whether penalties need to be stiffer for players initiating brawls during baseball games. With salaries skyrocketing, the sport may need to be more protective of players like Greinke who is making $17 million this season.
After the game, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly was described as "livid," and demanded that Quentin be suspended until Greinke is able to pitch again. Mattingly pointed out that it was a 3-2 count in a one-run game as evidence that the pitch was not intentional.
Quentin called the injury "unfortunate," but placed all the blame on Greinke, saying the situation "could have been avoided."
Here's the video:

Me and a few friends were talking last night about if you had a choice of what the last meal you ever ate what would it be.
I said I would have a 32oz steak, onion rings ,steak cut chips, mushrooms,peas and gravy. With a millionaire cheesecake for dessert washed down with a Dr pepper float.
What would you choose.?

Re: Last Supper
When you go to a Japanese steakhouse and sit at the hibachi, they bring out rice on a cookie sheet since they're cooking it for 10 or so people. Well, that's what I want. I want that entire cookie sheet of steak and shrimp fried rice. ALL OF IT. I know it'd be physically impossible to eat it all, but I'll be dead the next day. What do I care about a tummy ache?

Another fan day came and went at the University of Florida Saturday and, once again, not one of the thousands of signed autographs will likely show up for sale on eBay.
That's because Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley and his NCAA compliance guru — associate athletic director Jamie McCloskey — predicted nearly two decades ago that there was big money and big trouble in college football players signing their names on helmets, jerseys and other expensive keepsakes. That's why the Gators — much to chagrin of many fans and autograph dealers — instituted a policy on fan day during the 1990s that their players could sign only school-issued team posters.
Good for them.
Shouldn't getting an autograph be about the memory, not the memorabilia?
"We made the decision some 15 years ago that we wanted to try to limit the risk of potential issues that could arise from our annual fan autograph day," McCloskey said in a statement earlier this week. "The last thing we want to do is to put our student-athletes in a situation where we could have affected their eligibility from an event that we held on our campus. It wasn't a very popular decision, but we thought it was the right thing to do."
Although they would never say it, you know McCloskey and every other nerdy, nitpicky NCAA compliance director worth his weight in pocket protectors is just shaking his head and wagging his finger at Texas A&M's inept monitoring of Johnny Manziel's autograph-signing binge. If you're scoring at home, Manziel reportedly has had six organized signings for three different memorabilia dealers in three different states. He allegedly has been paid tens of thousands of dollars for signing at least 4,400 items.
The question is how could Texas A&M know nothing about it? Earlier this year, when it became common knowledge that the Internet was inundated with top-of-the-line autographed Manziel memorabilia, A&M presumably just swept it under the rug and hoped it would go away. Not until ESPN and other media got involved did it become public that Johnny Football is really Johnny Paycheck.
The question now is this: Was A&M inept or corrupt — and which is worse? Did school officials bury their heads in the pile of money that Johnny Paycheck made for them and not want to know what was going on around them? Or did they actually know what was going on and choose to ignore it, hoping that Johnny Paycheck would make them another big pile of money this season?
Either way, the NCAA needs to come down and come down hard on Manziel. Actually, if Texas A&M has any integrity, the Aggies themselves should recognize that Manziel blatantly broke the rules and immediately suspend him for the season.
You don't need a photograph of Manziel actually accepting money to know he is a blatant cheater. He spent several days signing thousands of autographs for known memorabilia dealers. Does anybody other than the most blind A&M fans really believe he was doing this not for money, but out of the goodness of his heart?
Besides, what is being overlooked here by many in the media is that Manziel committed a NCAA violation even if he signed the autographs for free but knew they would be sold for profit. And let's be real here: Anybody who signs thousands of autographs on expensive football helmets for known memorabilia brokers absolutely, positively knows they are going to be sold for profit.
And please spare us the ridiculous sob story about Manziel being the poster boy for why college athletes should be paid. Good grief, he's not a kid from a needy home just trying to make $50 or $75 so he can take his girlfriend out on Saturday night. Manziel allegedly took tens of thousands of dollars presumably because he is spoiled, entitled little brat.
Johnny Football is the ultimate escape artist on the field, but there's no escaping this:
He is not an amateur athlete anymore.
He's a professional autograph-signer who has no business playing college football.

It has been said before, but apparently it needs still needs to be said: You have until July 9 to make sure your computer is not infected with DNSChanger or you risk losing your access to the Internet.
July 9 is the date that temporary clean DNS Servers being used by infected machines will go offline. If the malware continues to direct your Internet requests to these servers for resolution after that date — and recent figures by the DNSChanger Working Group and others show that hundreds of thousands still are — chances are you will find you can't go anywhere.
There are workarounds for the problem of Internet access. Some Internet service providers are internally redirecting DNS queries away from the temporary servers, so they probably won't see a blackout (as long as the redirection continues).
Related coverage:
Have you checked your PC for DNSChanger? The clock is ticking.
Why computers infected with DNSChanger could lose Internet access
But this does not solve an underlying problem. If you remain infected with the malware, it probably has disabled antivirus protection and automatic software updates on your computer, leaving it vulnerable to other attacks and exploits.
DNSChanger is malware that allowed criminals to hijack Web traffic by directing DNS requests to their own servers for resolution. Discovered in 2006, it eventually infected more than 4 million computers and routers before the FBI shut down 100 command and control servers in a U.S. data center in November. It obtained a court order allowing the temporary operation of clean DNS servers using the gang's IP addresses by Internet Systems Consortium for 120 days. The deadline was then extended to July 9 to give more time to clean up the infections. No further extensions are expected.
The latest figures from the working group show that more than 300,000 unique IP addresses still were communicating with the temporary ISC servers on June 11. The overwhelming majority of those addresses, nearly 70,000, were in the United States. Italy came in a distant second with 26,494.
The security firm Internet Identity (IID) reported June 28 that it found that 12 percent of Fortune 500 companies remained infected, as well as two federal agencies (the company did not identify the agencies or companies). That is down slightly from February figures, but with little more than a week to go it is not good enough.
If you think you might be infected or don't know, the Working Group's site is a good place to start. It offers a test to see if your traffic is being redirected to one of the temporary addresses, which is a sign of infection. It also offers advice on cleaning it up, which unfortunately is not necessarily simple.
"Initially, the only way researchers could ensure that a machine was fixed was to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system from scratch," according to the working group. "The malware affected the boot blocks on the hard disk of the computer, so even if people just reverted their operating system to a prior backup, the malware could reclaim the PC."
But things have improved. "Later on, several anti-malware software companies came up with fixes that removed software correctly," the group said.
If you are infected, you will be forced by July 9 to address the issue. You might as well take advantage of the next week to check out your system so you can do it on your own schedule rather than being forced into a crisis situation.
The working group offers one piece of advice that no doubt warms the heart of computer and software vendors: "If you were already thinking of upgrading to a new computer, now may be a good time to make the switch."

Congressional hearing seeks to ask IRS: 'Why?'
WASHINGTON -- The nation's soon-to-be former top tax official will face questions Friday about why he failed to inform Congress about the Internal Revenue Service's treatment of Tea Party groups last year -- even under direct questioning.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., stopped short of saying that Steven Miller lied to Congress, "but it seems pretty clear that he was aware of this ongoing targeting. And he didn't tell Congress."
Friday's hearing will be a fact-finding mission to "find out who was responsible for subjecting conservative groups to additional scrutiny, why they did it, and how pervasive it was," Camp said.
And Camp said the inquiries won't stop with Tea Party groups, whose applications for tax-exempt status were delayed simply by virtue of their group name. Camp also wants to know if pro-Israel groups and individual donors to conservative causes were also targeted for invasive questioning and audits.
"What struck me is there really seemed to be a culture of discrimination. This was OK with a lot of people, and this went on without anyone batting an eye," Camp told USA TODAY. "And the so-called 'fix' actually made the problem worse."
STORY:Second IRS official resigns
The hearing portends to be a rare show of congressional bipartisanship. The committee's ranking Democrat, Rep. Sandy Levin, said he's as committed to getting the facts as his Republican counterpart. But he added, "We need to get the facts, and not twist them."
Only two witnesses are scheduled Friday: Steven Miller, who was ousted Wednesday as acting IRS commissioner, and J. Russell George, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. It was his report this week that exposed the practice after three years."We need to get the facts, and not twist them."
Of particular concern on both sides is Miller's 2012 testimony, in which he failed to disclose the Tea Party targeting.
Levin said at least three IRS officials misrepresented -- at hearings and in response to letters -- that there was no political targeting. "They knew there were concerns in our committee about the way applications were handled. They had an obligation to inform us They failed in that obligation."
Miller, who remains on as acting IRS commissioner until Wednesday, is represented by an attorney, Camp said. But the chairman said he didn't know if Miller planned to invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination. "That's his decision," he said.
The Justice Department has launched an investigation to determine whether any crimes were committed in the matter.

I'll make a rare confession in here ((which will never be acknowledged again)), I've been to an SL Cabaret event. The thought of a burlesque show with frilly avatars on stage hasn't appealed before, and I was assured it would be nothing like that.
With my masculinity on the line I went along to see a particular performance, but the rest of the show wasn't so bad afterall. It's all very random from one performance to the next. Each act build their own stage set, script it, animate it to a song, and on the night play it through. In the end, it's like setting up a 5 minute scene on stage and there were some fairly impressive acts.
'The Wings of Sahara Cabaret' hosts their shows on Sundays at 5PM SL.
Men shouldn't attend these events without a healthy reserve of testosterone, otherwise it's worth seeing for the quirky side of SL creativity.

Setting the Bar High: Undergraduate Jewish Studies
Designed to deepen students' moral and philosophical perspective and to teach them valuable life skills, our Torah Studies Programs train students to engage in rigorous intellectual thought.

The women of Stern College for Women and Sy Syms School of Business choose from two Torah Studies Programs, each of which challenges the mind and nurtures the spirit. The men of Yeshiva College and Sy Syms School of Business select from four distinct options based on classical Talmud Torah, an intensive analysis of classic Jewish texts in their Hebrew and Aramaic originals.
Advancing Your Jewish Education
Our world-renowned schools and affiliates take Jewish education to the highest levels:
- The Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary is the Western Hemisphere's leading center for Torah learning and training for the rabbinate
- The Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies is the premier institution for training the next generation of Jewish studies teachers, researchers and scholars
- The Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration offers an approach to education and administration that is rooted in sacred Jewish traditions while applying modern disciplines
- The Philip and Sarah Belz School of Jewish Music offers cantorial certificates and diplomas
Innovative women's graduate programs include a Master of Arts in Biblical and Talmudic Interpretation at Stern College for Women.
Pathways to Success
Our pathways to success are many. Qualified undergraduates can take courses at Revel or Azrieli. And for those who choose to begin their YU education in Israel, the S. Daniel Abraham Israel Program provides structure, support and guidance for more than 600 young men and women each year.
Other Israel study opportunities include our month long July in Jerusalem Program, which combines Torah learning, volunteering and group touring. The Center for the Jewish Future offers summer and winter missions to Israel (and other countries), along with programs that strengthen and enhance students' understanding of Judaism and their position in the world.
Learn more about other YU pathways, including business, economics, Jewish studies, law and much more.
Alumni: Carrying on the YU Tradition
Our alumni have gone on to success in every field, due largely to their superior YU Jewish education and the character, conscience and identity this education helped form. From rabbis and professors to doctors, lawyers, journalists, filmmakers, entrepreneurs and social workers, our highly respected alumni are in demand across the world.
Only through formal Jewish education can we ensure the spiritual, national and cultural future of the Jewish people. As it has been doing since its inception in 1886, Yeshiva University helps guarantee a strong and vibrant Jewish future, infusing the world with light as it does so. Instilling its students with an abiding love and appreciation of their Jewish heritage, Jewish education at YU takes them wherever they choose to go.

A Beachfront Garden Wedding at Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort in Amelia Island, Florida
When Katherine Fox (27 and works in property management) dreamt of her wedding to Marc-Andre Lavoie (28 and a sales consultant), she pictured "a moody, magical fairy tale with raw outdoor elements." "I loved the idea of combining glamorous details with an organic backdrop," she says. Incorporating black and white provided a timeless backdrop for the couple's nuptials, while bold blooms in shades of raspberry, plum and fuchsia gave a burst of color to the day. "We basically sprinkled everything with a touch of gold, and it completed our glam look," Katherine says. For the reception, the newlyweds topped tables with low arrangements and served guests seafood like push-pop crab cakes, lobster bisque and sea bass. A personalized globe guest book showed off the couple's custom monogram, and the newlyweds celebrated with not just a first dance, but a last dance of the night too. "Our getaway car was the best," Katherine says of the white Rolls-Royce waiting for them post-dancing. "It was the perfect ending."

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady got hitched for the second time this weekend, but the super couple's nuptials could have led to a pair of funerals, according to two paparazzi who said the couple's bodyguards fired gunshots at them.
"I thought I was going to die," photographer Rolando Aviles, from the Spanish language newspaper Al Dia told The New York Post. "The bullet went between us, missing our heads. If the bullet had been a little more to the left or right, it would have killed one of us."
No one was reported hurt in the incident, which allegedly capped three days of celebration leading up to a sunset ceremony at Bundchen's estate in Costa Rica.
The wedding party was seemingly unware of the alleged gunplay. All seemed "very happy, like they were having a great time," one onlooker told People magazine. The 28-year-old Bundchen wore a long designer dress, a 10-foot veil, and carried a bouquet of white orchids. She "looked so gorgeous," a source told People. "She looked beautiful."
The 31-year-old Brady wore a gray suit and white pants and held his toddler son, Jack, as about 25 to 50 guests, including New England Patriots owner, Robert Kraft, celebrated the beautiful couple's second set of nuptials. Earlier that, Brady held a brunch for the male guests while the Brazilian bombshell and her female guests got ready at a nearby hotel.
But for all the glamour, the ceremony could be described as a "shotgun wedding" if the harrrowing account provided by two lensmen is true.
Along with Aviles, Yuri Cortez, a photographer for the French news agency Agence France-Presse also said that a bodyguard for Bundchen shot at his car with a .38- caliber handgun after he refused to give up his camera. The two lensmen were caught by Bundchen's henchmen after using a long lens to get some pictures from the bushes. When the photographers refused to turn over their film, the guards fired at them as they ran back to their jeep, according to the Boston Globe.
"As they started the engine, a live round pierced the back windshield...and hit the front windshield directly between the two mens' heads," according to a post on the paparazzi agency's blog.
Gisele reportedly has an exclusive photo deal with a Brazilian magazine to shoot the second round of nuptials and the paparazzi were not welcome at the wedding.

We sit in the dark, surrounded by strangers. Gradually, and then suddenly, it happens. On the big screen, a familiar logo appears — maybe it's a huge "WB" in the shape of a shield, or the Earth partially encircled by the word "UNIVERSAL" — and just like that, we're not a room full of strangers anymore. We're an audience, we're fans, ready and willing to be entertained. For decades, for countless moviegoers the world over, no movie studio logo has been more iconic, or more immediately and purely suggestive of imminent celluloid bliss, than Paramount Pictures'. We see that soaring, solitary mountain crowned by a halo of stars, and we think to ourselves: Here we go. Show time!
Founded in 1912 by Hungary-born Adolph Cukor (left, at 97 years old, in his chauffeured golf cart), Paramount might have lacked the strong identity forged by some of the other major studios of Hollywood's Golden Age. Warner Bros. was for years known for its gritty crime thrillers; MGM produced glitzy extravaganzas and musicals. Paramount, on the other hand, was all over the map — but that was perfectly okay. After all, if a studio could deliver movies like (just to name a few) The Ten Commandments, Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby and The Godfather, it had to be doing something right.
But even hugely successful companies that have been around for generations sometimes need to take stock and reassess — which is exactly the situation that Paramount, and Hollywood as a whole, found itself having to navigate in the early 1970s. AS LIFE magazine put it in a February 27, 1970 cover story entitled, "The Day the Dream Factory Woke Up":
Behind the cowtown street on Paramount's Hollywood lot [see image #5 in this gallery], a fake sunny blue sky rises unruffled by wind or rain or dark of night. That sky, along with the rest of the 52-acre Paramount studio, is now for sale.... Ended forever is the studio-centered, glamour-glossed, lotus-land Hollywood that has been celebrating itself for 50 years — as it did when Paramount in 1930 ballyhooed itself with the film, Paramount on Parade. Hollywood is now as quiet, and disquieted, as a company town where the mine has closed.
In 1968, intoxicated by a temporarily huge TV market, hypnotized by the vast success of four films (The Sound of Music, The Graduate, The Odd Couple and Rosemary's Baby, which together netted $150 million) the industry went off the deep end. Paramount, for example, produced 42 pictures and pumped up a big European operation. It tied up $50 million in four major movies — which these films could not recoup for several years.... The time of tight money set in. And audiences became ultra-discriminating.
So Paramount, under the stern eye of its no-nonsense parent Gulf & Western Industries, led the industry into a painful housecleaning.... It set about selling its studio — selling the built-in headaches, selling the outworn dreams, all the trappings of those freewheeling glory days.
Here, LIFE.com presents a series of photos chronicling that "painful housecleaning" — pictures that capture both the faded magic and the heady appeal of a unique, profoundly self-absorbed industry that, perhaps more perfectly than any other, has always embodied the enduring struggle between Art and Commerce.

The on-demand film and TV streaming market has become very crowded lately with the likes of LoveFilm and Netflix going head-to-head along with other services such as blinkbox and even Sky Movies all vying for a share of a relatively small pie.
According to research only around five per cent of the UK public are consuming films through these types of service, but it is the potential to convert the 90 per cent plus of the market which has led Dixons to roll out the Knowhow Movies service offering 1,500 titles at launch.
The service, which will launch on 1 March, will initially only be available on PCs and Macs but will roll out to Android and iOS mobile phones and tablets (in Spring), Smart TVs, Blu-ray players and PVRs (in the Summer) and finally to games consoles (in the Autumn).
The service will be subscription-free and will instead offer users the chance to rent or buy titles from a range of studios. Currently Knowhow Movies has signed up four studios: Momentum, Pixar, Warner Brothers and Disney and told us at a briefing this morning that it will have signed another three major studios in the next two months.
One of the key features of this service is that new releases will be available the day they are launched on Blu-ray and will cost £3.99 to rent for 48 hours or £12.99 to buy, while older movies will be available from £2.99 to rent and £5.99 to buy.
Films can be purchased in HD or SD and once purchased will be stored in a digital locker which you will be able to access from up to five separate devices. Downloads are currently only available on PCs and you will need to download a client to view these DRMed files.
The service is powered by Rovi, and uses new DivX adaptive streaming technology, which will take into account the bandwidth available to users and seamlessly switch from HD to SD and back again depending on your connection. The service currently uses the Rovi Entertainment Locker to store your purchases but the company told us that it hopes to move to the Ultraviolet locker by the end of the year.
Niall O'Keeffe, Knowhow Development Director, told us that the service would be heavily promoted in the company's 600 PC World and Currys stores and that the company would be offering the customers who bought 4.5 million connected devices from it last year, the chance to use the service, pre-loading it on laptops and TVs.
Is this the solution to your on-demand film and TV needs? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Paradise Fish (Macropodus opercularis)
From The Aquarium Wiki
Paradise Fish
Macropodus opercularis
76 Litres (20 US G.)
7-10 cm (2.8-3.9")
6.0 - 8.0
6-10 °d
3-5 years
This animal is available captive bred
Additional names
- Paradise Gourami, Paradise Fish, Blue Paradise Fish
Additional scientific names
- Chaetodon chinensis, Labrus opercularis, Macropodus chinensis, Macropodus ctenopsoides
- The Paradise Fish originates in Asia and is found almost anywhere with low current, such as rice paddies or calm pools on the side of flowing streams.
- Males typically have longer fins and brighter reds than females of the same age: they also tend to be larger than the females.
Tank compatibility
- Whether Paradise fish can go with tank mates depends on the number of Macropods being kept. Lone male paradise fish are just as unpredictable as the domesticated Betta splendens are with tank mates, and are best kept alone in 30 inch long tanks due to their relatively large (potentially 4 inch standard length) size. However, paradise fish can also be kept in pairs, harems, and even mixed sex groups, and in these cases paradise fish are normally community safe as long as they do not breed. Fish smaller than about 1.5 inches may be eaten by a large paradise fish irregardless of numbers, and other species of anabantoids or long-finned fish should be added with care. Finally, fin-nipping fish must be avoided.
- Paradise fish, like many anabantoids, can be fairly aggressive to their own kind, so a 30 inch long tank is advised if more than one is to be kept. 1M 1F pairs will usually work, but harems are advised for particularly aggressive male Paradise fish, and multiple males should not be kept together unless a 48 inch long tank is available. If they are kept in pairs or groups, the paradise fish will be more active and display more complex behaviors than they would if kept alone, including a variety or argumentive and submissive behaviors.
- Paradise fish are definite carnivores in the wild, so they require a meaty diet. A high protein food must be used (eg. Tropical Flake Food, gel or pellet as opposed to most goldfish food). It will eat small tetra fish, fry and shrimp, so they could be a solution to livebearer overpopulation problems. In any case, supplimenting a dry diet with live or frozen foods, such as bloodworm and daphnia, is advised for the best color and condition in the fish.
Feeding regime
- Not particularly unusual in feeding habits, the normal once or twice a day feeding regime will work for paradise fish.
Environment specifics
- Typically lives in overgrown, slow-moving waters in the wild. In the aquarium, similar conditions should be used, although it is advised to keep the current slightly higher to prevent unintended spawns from occurring.
- Lone male paradise fish are infamously hostile in community settings, but pairs or groups are far less malicious to other species and can be kept in most communities. Do not let them spawn in communities, as spawning males become much more aggressive and will likely evict all tank mates from his half of the tank!
- Paradise fish show interesting social behaviors when kept in groups or pairs. Paradise fish may charge other paradise fish who irritate them; the target fish will lean on its side and show its stomach to the aggressor, who will either 'forgive' the target or chase it until it is sufficiently far away. If two males meet, they will flare at each other by extending their fins, darkening their colors, opening their operculum a (which have eye spots) and circling each other, occasionally jaw locking for a few seconds if this flaring match does not settle the argument. The defeated male will then flee his rival's territory, which is why a large tank is needed for multiple paradise fish males - otherwise, the defeated male may be beaten on by the victor, who thinks that the defeated male is still deliberately intruding on his territory, and may be killed.
- Paradise fish use a bubble nest to breed, like most anabantoids. After building the bubble nest, the male will flare at the female to try and entice her under the bubble nest to mate. The act of spawning itself is an 'embrace' typical of anabantoids, with the male placing the resulting eggs in the bubble nest after spawning; he will then fiercely guard the nest from all comers until the fry are free swimming in about a week. The fry need infusoria at first, but can take microworms and bbs within a few days; the father should be removed after they become free swimming.
- A somewhat elongated anabantoid with a iridescent blue base color, orange or red stripes along its body, and a long, forked tail fin with those same red or orange stripes. Several captive variations exist, including an albino form. The elongated shape makes it highly unlikely to be confused with the similarly-colored Colisa gouramis, and its coloring rules out confusion with any other members of its genus.
