Thanks to Michael of MindLoveMisery's Menagerie for hosting this Tale Weaver Prompt based on forest creatures, a couple weeks back.
Fly with me to the forest enchanted,
Where all magic life is fair transplanted.
Lacking peace in cities it's ungranted,
Fly to the faeries for those sweet romantics.
Into the gleaming marsh of enchantment,
Forget pain with tranquility granted.
Come fly with me, to the magic forest.
You may not believe me, you may not care,
Let me lead, you'll never be disparaged.
Blue birds tweet-talk, sweet advice they share,
Deer bow low, demand fur be stroked right there.
Behind their ears, on their bellies so bared.
Nymphs stunning, gorgeous come out they're aware,
You've paid a visit, they chatter, wine shared,
Ambrosia sweets flow, your body's repaired.
Come fly with me, to the magic forest.
Visit anytime, day or night, be pleased,
Someone's awake with wine or cold tea.
Faeries they greet with moonshine and they tease,
You'll never admit, this place is your peace,
The magic in your heart, is to believe.
Come fly with me, to the magic forest.

Giclee Prints on Stretched Canvas
You'll think you own the original! In giclee printing (pronounced zhee'klay), archival quality inks are actually squirted onto the canvas, giving the image all of the tonalities and hues of the original painting. The artist then hand stretches your canvas print with wrap around edges onto stretcher bars so you can hang it unframed as soon as it arrives!
Giclee Art Prints on Paper
Your print includes a 1" white border around the image to allow for future framing and matting. It is printed on acid-free paper with archival inks to guarantee that your print will last a lifetime without fading or loss of color.
Greeting Cards
Each greeting card is 5 x 7" and comes with a white envelope for mailing and gift giving. The outside surface is coated with a UV protectant which produces a semi-gloss finish; the inside is left blank for your own personal message.

About Michael Avery
Isn't 9 million nano-pirates really equal to only 0.009 pirates?
Tell them to come back when they've found at least 1 pirate, then we'll talk.
Gholson Lyon (article's author) should have focused on the reasoning behind the FDA's intervention and not the repercussions of genetic data collection and sharing being stymied.
Also, the last time that I checked, the FDA is a regulatory body charged with minimizing risks and increasing safety for consumers, whilst the NSA is an apparently un-regulated body incapable of mitigating risks and not doing much to increase safety for anybody.
I find it remarkable that Mollett thinks that publishers are somehow "ahead of the piracy curve" when it comes to 'protecting' books.
"I do no think the impact of copyright infringement on published works is gonna be as great as it has been and continues to be on music and film ..."
And that he thinks that all people with Kindles probably downloaded their reading material from the Kindle Store is laughable and naive.
A quick search will show most published ebooks available in one format or another. Another search will provide software capable of making an ebook compatible with any reading device.
The point here is that obviously copyright has not done what Mollett thinks it does, and that the supposedly stronger measures used to protect ebooks are a joke. That, and every classic on my Kindle has come from the likes of Project Gutenberg, and I'm sure there are many others like myself. There are many reasons that Amazon has allowed the Kindle to be officially unlocked.
I wrote to both Rubio and Nelson about a month ago, but it looks like Rubio is the first to respond publicly. To his credit, he also sent an auto-response that said to "please expect my response in the near future" back on the 12/20, something that Nelson's bots failed to do.
And I must say, Rubio's announcement is the best response to a complaint that I've ever gotten from a congressman (besides the thoughtful letter I once received from my local supervisor of elections). Nelson on the other hand, I wouldn't hold my breath. Too bad another Dem isn't stepping up to his incumbency.
Here's part of the first half of the original clip that was removed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK7fYy3wwHY
The official Roll Call, for those who care:
Yea: 41 Rep, 30 Dem
Nay: 4 Rep, 18 Dem
Non: 2 Rep, 3 Dem
Yea's less (Nay's and Non's): Republicans: 35, Democrats: 7
Just look at all those rats voting Yea! A Senate held by the Republicans would likely have meant a different "leader" introducing the legislation, sure, but probably also even fewer Democrats voting in the affirmative (that we deserve less rights).
Look! I can do it, too: REpubLICan.
So is the superposition of the app when it's "off" both listening and not?
"in the long run, the paywall is just a giant ploy to get their print subscriber numbers up."
You nailed it, Mike, and there is nothing crazy in the NYTimes' logic.
In Dan Ariely's book, "Predictably Irrational", in the first chapter entitled "The Truth About Relativity", nearly the exact same situation is used to illustrate the industry's "sleight of hand" technique (his real world example was taken from an actual Economist.com subscription scheme). Its purpose is to set up a situation where the act of comparing prices from a given set will adjust the perceived value of the products in the set. The trap is set when a person is not rational enough to step outside of the price scheme to think about the real value of the products in question (I imagine that most readers/writers here are rational enough, or we'd not be having this discussion).
Those who peruse the new price scheme that the NYTimes has set up are induced to believe that the best subscription plan is going to deliver the most savings. Most interestingly, the set we're given by nytimes.com doesn't even mention the route of print+online that is being discussed here. Instead, what you see there are three choices: online+smartphone, online+tablet, all digital access. According to Ariely, an extra choice added to the mix (particularly a third) will function as a "decoy" by adding perceived value to one or more of the others. Nytimes.com helps us out by pointing to the all digital access plan as the one with the "BEST VALUE", in gold lettering.
If the NYTimes had added the fourth choice of print at this point, they may have sweetened the milk by adding a choice which, in that particular set, would have been perceived as having the most value. And there isn't so much value for the NYTimes if it purposefully sets itself up to spend more by offering print. However, in the long run, they will probably have no other choice than to openly add the fourth choice to the mix as a less profitable way to bolster the paywall, as enticement to new customers and incentive for old.
Except I disagree with Mike's statement that "everyone is having a hard time figuring out exactly what they hope to accomplish". I think their hopes are obvious: that the old models continue to work. That anyone would do the work to compare print price to digital, NYTimes probably had hoped wouldn't happen, but we've still played into their game of comparing a set of prices and then noting that one of them screams "$100 savings". And I'm willing to bet that quite a few have decided to cash in on that. But the NYTimes' continued belief that the old models will continue working, that people are going to fall into the well at all, does seem a penny wish wasted.

Thanks to Alistair Forbes for hosting SPF.
The submarines of old stood out in the San Diego Harbor as Carla walked Bruno and Velma the dachshunds.
After tiring out both dogs, she paused to gaze at the submarines along the walkway. It didn't appear as if any navy personnel had worked on them in over seventy-five-years.
The subs were relics of WWII, but Carla knew many men had died and been terrified for their lives in such submarines. The US had used them effectively 'island hoping' to help defeat the Japanese, after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Of course, the bombs had sealed the deal.
Suddenly, the dachshunds began to bark and yip ferociously. They pulled on their leashes willing Carla, their Mom, to go home.
She gazed back at the submarines one last time and let out a frightened shriek. Upon the old submarine, a ghostly navy crew with 1940's uniforms, walked atop the sub performing their duties. They stopped, noticing Carla, and turned to whistle at her as if she was some wartime doll for kicks.
When she blinked again, the apparitions were gone. Carla decided she needed something stronger in her coffee this morning. Maybe she'd forget the coffee part altogether.

The human brain is amazing, but it has its limitations. One of the biggest is that it's difficult for two humans to accurately share data. To tell another human what we know, we have to write it down in painstaking detail or carefully explain it orally. Those who have perfected those skills become successful politicians, writers or entertainers. But even those people probably don't come close to perfectly replicating their ideas inside the minds of others.
That's just a fact of life. But if you happen to be an emergency responder, or a solider, that little limitation can get you or other people killed.
Say you're a firefighter entering a burning building looking for survivors, or a soldier trying to clear an area of enemies. Someone else may have gone into that same building last year, or last week, or five minutes ago. But the information about the various twists and turns is stored in that other person's brain, which doesn't help you very much.
But help may have arrived. The scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have built an automatic building mapping computer that could make sharing positional data a lot easier.
As a person wearing the sensor array walks through a building, lasers scan the various distances between the mapper and the walls. Altimeter and barometer sensors estimate and track height, and cameras take snapshots so that they can be compared to the map the computer is drawing. The map is relayed to observers viewing it on a laptop.
Amazingly enough, the device comprises of a lot of off-the-shelf parts, such as the camera from an Xbox 360 Kinect sensor.
The experiment, which worked from the premise of a situation involving hazardous materials, expands on previous work done with robots. It currently allows the person wearing the sensor to press a button noting an area of interest, but the team expects to be able to add voice or text tags to the map.
Although still in prototype phase, it seems to work well. You can see the system in action below.
For this technology to go mainstream, the sensor would likely need to get a bit smaller. And some work on the end-user interface would also be needed so that the data can be easily shared in the field. But this is a promising development that could end up saving lives.

About Seminyak
When people think of the "it" hotspot in Asia, most think of Seminyak, the sparkling jewel in Bali's crown.
Just a decade ago Seminyak was little more than an obscure fishing village on the southern cost of Bali, but now after a vast amount of investment, it has become the most up market, modern town on the entire island. It's fair to say that people from all across the globe flock to Bali seeking their perfect island paradise.

National Mortgage Settlement Monitor Joseph A. Smith Jr. today released anupdate on the consumer relief activities of the five banks that are parties to the National Mortgage Settlement, as reported by the banks through March 31, 2013. According to the report, thousands of New York consumers have received more than $1.92 billion in relief under the settlement in the first year.
"New York homeowners have received almost $2 billion in financial relief under the National Mortgage Settlement - far more than the federal government projected would flow to our state a year ago," said Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman. "While we are pleased that the benefits to homeowners - including reduced debt, lower mortgage payments, and averted foreclosures - have been substantial, our work is not finished. My office will continue to monitor the banks' compliance with the settlement."
In addition to the hundreds of millions of dollars in relief from lenders reflected in today's report, Schneiderman secured more than $130 million in hard dollars for New Yorkers as part of the settlement. Of this amount, Schneiderman launched the Homeowner Protection Program, a $60 million commitment over three years to fund housing counseling and legal services for struggling New York homeowners. Throughout New York state, 34 legal services organizations and 59 housing counseling agencies will receive more than $16.1 million this year to provide free foreclosure prevention services. An additional $3.9 million has been allocated for training, technical assistance, and other support services to assist homeowners in foreclosure. In part because of the advocacy of HOPP-funded housing counselors and legal services providers, more than 4,300 New York homeowners have completed, or have active trial modifications for approximately $540 million worth first mortgage principal reduction.
In January, Schneiderman was appointed by President Obama to co-chair the Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Working Group. This joint investigation brings together the Department of Justice, HUD, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, several state law enforcement officials, and other federal agencies to investigate those responsible for misconduct contributing to the financial crisis through the pooling and sale of residential mortgage-backed securities. It builds upon ongoing state and federal investigations, while also launching new ones.

The Mount Hope Project
The Mount Hope Project Inc. is a US based non-profit organization whose mission is to use the arts to support and enhance the education of underprivileged children living in the Philippines.
Our work currently supports the education of 9 children living in Payatas, Philippines. Payatas houses the largest waste facility in Quezon City, where residents have come to depend on the garbage for their livelihood. Through arts, education and awareness, Mount Hope aims to create positive and sustainable change in the community. As we grow, we hope to support more students in Payatas and similarly underserved areas.
Mount Hope was established as a result of the generous support from inspired and sympathetic audiences of the film The Mountain Thief, written and directed by the organization's founder, Gerry Balasta. The project evolved from a small fundraising effort to help one of the child actors in the film who was in dire need of medical intervention and surgery, to providing scholarship funds for all the children featured in the film.

In part one and part two of this series, we talked in detail about the precarious health of the news stand scrapbook magazines. Bearing in mind that this is not necessarily due to the scrapbook market itself but to the overall decline in the publishing industry, it is a good idea to look beyond the news stand to other business models that are operating in the scrapbook publishing segment.
Several publishers are operating on a model of selling publications at a premium price point in bookstores and specialty stores. Most notable among these publishers are Northridge Media and Stampington & Company. Northridge is the publisher of titles such as Scrapbook Trends, Cards, Simply Handmade, Bead Trends and a line of idea books. Stampington publishes Somerset Memories, Somerset Digital Studio, Artful Blogging, Where Women Create, Somerset Studio, Stamper's Sampler, Stamper's Sampler Take Ten, and many more titles.
Most of the titles from both publishers have a cover price of at least $14.99, with the exception of Stamper's Sampler at $7.99. Northridge offers discounts off the per-issue price for subscribing. Stampington sells subscriptions at the per-issue price.
A few important things differentiate these publishers from their news stand rivals. The primary area of difference is their content. Where the news stand publications have to try to appeal to a much wider range of skill level and interest, the premium publications are much more highly focused in their content. These publications focus on offering a lot of one kind of content. Northridge Media's Cards title offers nothing but page after page of large examples of cards for inspiring card makers. There are no product galleries, no text-filled articles. Scrapbook Trends usually consists completely of single-page scrapbook layouts. Stamper's Sampler Take Ten is completely cards (with an occasional exception) that are mostly vintage in style.
Although both Cards and Take Ten both focus exclusively on cards, they are so highly focused that the cards they contain even have a distinct signature style in both publications. This is in direct contrast to the news stand publications, where the style of the content tends to be very diverse in an attempt to appeal to the widest possible audience.
Another important difference between the news stand and premium publications is their look-and-feel. Both of the premium publishers I cited above are producing magazines on heavier weight papers that provide a richer feel in the hand than their less expensive news stand counterparts. While the weight of the paper may seem unimportant, it is one important component in making the customer feel like they are receiving a premium product for the premium price. The magazines' design also contributes to the premium impression. Stampington uses an extremely clean white layout that resembles an artist's portfolio. Northridge goes the opposite direction with its design, creating a lush feel by using elaborate photo sets (often with rich colors) as backgrounds for its published items.
Another part of the premium feeling of the Stampington and Northridge titles is the relatively low amount of advertising content and its arrangement concentrated in the front and rear of the publications. This makes the publications feel more similar to the idea books from publishers like Creating Keepsakes and F + W than like a periodical, and also helps sell the higher price point to consumers. Scrapbook Trends has been maintaining a paid advertising percentage around 20% in 2009. Stamper's Sampler Take Ten has been publishing the past two years with an average of around 3% paid advertising per issue.
How do these magazines survive with such minimal advertising compared to their news stand counterparts? It is because their business model is entirely different – they aren't intended to get their revenue as heavily from advertising. Instead they get their revenue largely from their cover price (rarely discounted for subscribers) and then supplement it with ad sales. In the case of Stampington, there is also heavy focus on promoting the company's own line of stamps and artist papers that are sold in the company's online store.
How can these magazines still reach an audience with such focused content? Stamper's Sampler June/July 2009 issue only circulated 19,000 copies. Stamper's Sampler Take Ten circulated just over 27,000 copies of its Summer 2009 issue. They are only intended to appeal to a small niche market of readers – a very similar approach to that of the content online that is largely killing the print publishers on the news stand. They have carved out a select niche market and focus with precision on serving up content tailored closely to that smaller market, instead of having to use the scattershot approach required for content aimed at serving a larger group. The larger your audience, the harder it is to make everyone happy. The premium publishers have focused on building smaller, extremely loyal audiences who are willing to pay a premium cover price to get exactly what they want in the publication.
If a scrapbook magazine can survive by being high-priced, how about at the other extreme – by being free? Canadian magazine Scrapbook & Cards Today is operating on a very web 2.0 model of free distribution to consumers. In a recent phone interview, founder and publisher Catherine Tachdjian explained to me how that works.
Scrapbook & Cards Today is a quarterly 68-page publication that is distributed through approximately 200 independent stores. The stores must be advertisers in the magazine's store directory to distribute the magazine. They receive some free copies as part of their advertising package, and may also purchase additional copies if they wish. Stores may not sell the issues they distribute, but the copies may be offered as an incentive with a purchase, as a benefit for club members, or as part of a kit.
For readers who don't have a distributing store near them, the magazine is also distributed free via the magazine's website in PDF form.
How does this work financially? Scrapbook & Cards Today is maintaining a healthy 40% ad content. Tachdjian says that because of the distribution method used by the magazine, many manufacturers view advertising in her publication as a store outreach project instead of as advertising, which helps Scrapbook & Cards Today sell their ad space.
Despite the disparity in their price points, the premium magazines and Scrapbook & Cards Today actually have a surprising amount in common that contributes to their success:
- the narrow focus of their content on a specific niche
- extremely lean & efficient staffing models
- relationships with a well-known group of ongoing contributors
- a luxury feel to their materials and layout
All of this, put together with the recent statistics of the news stand publications, says a lot about the future of publishing in the scrapbook industry. Print publications across all industries are facing challenging times. Those challenges, brought about by the mass consumption of internet content, are not going away. In dealing with these challenges, the mass-market news stand publications are actually chasing the so-called "long tail" magazines in their fight for survival. (If you are unfamiliar with the concept of the "long tail", you should read the excellent book The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More by Chris Anderson. It is very pertinent to marketing in a niche like scrapbooking.)
While it might seem that the larger circulation news stand magazines have more ground to give in the battle for survival than the smaller magazines do, their audiences are not as loyal and their business model requires massive circulation numbers to survive. Their business model is dependent on securing large amounts of advertising, at a time when advertisers (not just in scrapbooking) are fleeing the print market in favor of highly targeted online campaigns. The smaller magazines are less dependent on advertising, and they can offer a more highly targeted audience to the advertisers they do need to attract.
The past was mass market, appealing to everyone and selling as many copies as possible. The future of scrapbook print publishing is smaller: more targeted, more lean, and more premium. The internet is, basically, going to turn print into a luxury experience.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an emergency
situation in which fluid buildup in the lungs causes breathing failure. Acute
respiratory distress syndrome occurs most often in people who are being treated
for another serious illness or injury, including infections, trauma, and
exposure to toxic chemicals.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome, which is also called adult
respiratory distress syndrome, develops rapidly. Symptoms of acute respiratory
distress syndrome include shortness of breath and rapid breathing. Blood tests
will show low amounts of oxygen in the blood (hypoxia). Admission to the
intensive care unit (ICU) is usually needed when a person has respiratory

Intelligent crane control with LICCON
Liebherr mobile cranes are controlled precisely using intelligent technology. The LICCON computer system is at the heart of all this. Liebherr designs and produces the software and hardware for the mobile crane control in-house. Our specialists continue to work on the development of the control's architecture to meet the ever growing demands of the market.
Flexible control system from a single source
LICCON (Liebherr computer control) is the most modern computer system in the world for controlling and monitoring mobile cranes. All the key components, including the software, has been developed by Liebherr in-house. This enables us to guarantee reliability, quality and future spare parts availability.
The crane control with integral LML load moment limiter meets the very highest safety standards. The electronic control system is tailored individually to each crane. Its freely programmable nature means that it can be adjusted flexibly to suit individual requirements. Particularly important in practice use: The Liebherr crane control is insensitive to ambient influences such as extreme temperatures.
Technological pioneer
Liebherr developed the first computer-based crane control in 1989 – a genuine milestone in the industry. In 2007 the LICCON2 successor system was launched, featuring much higher computing capacity and additional applications. Another reason behind Liebherr's success is its reliable data bus transmission equipment which revolutionised crane technology at the end of the 1990s.
User-friendly functions and benefits
LICCON allows the working range limits to be programmed and monitored automatically at the touch of a button.
LICCON allows the working range limits to be monitored automatically.
Benefits of the working range limiting system
- Working range limits can be defined simply at the touch of a button.
- The programmed limits can be enabled and disabled easily.
- The operating movements are stopped with damping.
Functions at a glance
The system allows the following functions to be used singly or in combination:
- Pulley head height limit
- Radius limit
- Slewing angle limit
- Edge limit
The LICCON work planner allows the computer-based simulation of crane jobs using the lifting case parameters of load, radius and hoist height.
The LICCON work planner is a software package for planning, simulating and documenting crane jobs on a PC and in the crane cabine.
Benefits of the work planner
- All the lifting capacity tables for a crane are shown.
- After entering the lifting case parameters of load, radius and hoist height, the planner suggests the best cranes for the job.
- Drawing functions and support force display allow crane jobs to be simulated realistically.
The multi-functional control and display unit enables the crane's set-up functions to be controlled quickly and easily from outside the cab.
The BTT Bluetooth terminal is a multi-functional control and display unit for the remote control of crane set-up functions.
Benefits of the Bluetooth terminal
- Fast, easy and safe to use
- Clear visibility and proximity to the operation
- Greater comfort
- Increase in efficiency
Functions at a glance
Support crane
The BTT enables a mobile crane's outriggers to be extended safely and easily. Engine start/stop and engine speed control, electronic inclination display and automatic support levelling are included as standard. If necessary the support forces can also be displayed on the BTT.
This function makes the driver's workload much easier since the hook block can be attached and detached when in visual contact.
Attach and detach hook block
The BTT also enables the crane driver to attach and detach the hook block with visual contact. For this purpose the hoist winch and luffing cylinder for the telescopic boom are controlled remotely.
Additional functions
Depending on the crane model and equipment, the BTT can control other functions such as the folding jib or ballast erection.
The remote control allows all the crane functions to be controlled from outside the cabine. A major benefit for crane operators: The console can also be used for other cranes with a LICCON2 control which have been programmed for remote control.
The Liebherr LICCON2 crane control system also provides the possibility of an easy and low cost extension to the complete radio remote control of the crane. In addition to the software, only a console with the two master switches is required. The existing BTT is plugged to this. This means that all crane movements can be controlled from outside the crane cabine.
Benefits of remote control
- Greater economy
- A clear sight and proximity to the load
- Prevention of communication errors between the crane driver and site personnel

Details scant in Grand County shooting
Sky Hi News
HOT SULPHUR SPRINGS – Authorities continue to investigate the events leading up to the shooting of 31-year-old Joshua Stevens, who died April 1, from "multiple gunshots to the torso."
Results of an autopsy performed on April 3 show he was shot four times, according to Grand County Coroner Brenda Bock.
Stevens died outside the home of John and Heather Stein, respectively a lieutenant with the Grand County Sheriff's Office and Grand County deputy district attorney of the 14th Judicial District.
"As for who fired the weapon or if Mr. Stevens was armed, that remains part of the active investigation and cannot be released at this time," said Colorado Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Susan Medina. "We're not commenting on the weapon component at this time," she added, when asked if more than one weapon was involved.
Up to now, authorities have been saying a deputy of the Grand County Sheriff's Office discharged the weapon.
9News, citing unidentified sources, reported April 2 that Heather Stein fired at least one shot at the man who was killed.
Heather Stein placed the 911 call regarding the incident shortly before midnight, according to the CBI.
A neighbor to the Steins in Hot Sulphur Springs told the Sky-Hi News he notices discrepancies in the timeline authorities so-far have reported, especially the timing of the altercation outside the couple's residence and a possible 911 call to authorities made before Heather Stein's call.
Authorities have been unwilling to release dispatch recordings from that night. An open records request submitted to Grand County Sheriff Rod Johnson on April 2 by the Sky-Hi News was denied April 3 on the grounds of "harming an ongoing investigation" by the 1st Judicial District Attorney's Office and CBI. CBI is leading the investigation. The sheriff stated in his email he would be discussing this week with those agencies possible release of the 911 and dispatch tapes.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

Ethics watchdog seeks probe of Armenian-American group
WASHINGTON — A high-profile ethics organization on Wednesday asked federal agencies to investigate the Armenian National Committee of America for alleged campaign-finance and lobbying violations.
In a seven-page complaint, the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington asserts that the Armenian-American group failed to register either as a domestic lobbying group or as a foreign agent despite its political work and its close ties to an Armenian political party.
The Armenian National Committee of America is one of the country's most prominent ethnic organizations and has worked closely with members of Congress on Armenian genocide commemorative resolutions.
"We're not saying they should be out of business," said Melanie Sloan, a former federal prosecutor who's now the head of the private Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. "We're saying there are laws and they should be following them."
Sloan attached 161 pages worth of exhibits in support of the allegations.
Armenian National Committee of America officials denounced the charges as unfounded.
"We've taken a preliminary look at (the) allegations, and they are without merit and full of inaccuracies and misrepresentations," said Elizabeth Chouldjian, the Armenian National Committee's communications director.
Chouldjian declined to undertake a point-by-point rebuttal of the complaint, but she said that "the real story is why this is being brought up now." She noted that the complaint was filed about two months before the annual Armenian genocide commemoration on April 24; she didn't elaborate on a potential motive for the complaint's timing.
The Armenian National Committee of America describes itself on its Web site as "the largest and most influential Armenian-American grass-roots political organization." It's active in regions with large Armenian-American populations, including New Jersey, Florida and California.
Its allies are rallying renewed support for an Armenian genocide resolution that collapsed in the last Congress. Under presidents of both political parties, the Pentagon and State Department have opposed the resolution as an insult to Turkey, which denies that mass deaths from 1915 to 1923 amounted to genocide.
The genocide commemoration will pose a dilemma for President Barack Obama. As a candidate, he voiced support for the resolution. As president, he called Turkish President Abdullah Gul on Monday for what the White House called a "warm and productive" chat.
The genocide resolution is also at the heart of the new complaint.
"Circumstantial evidence indicates that ANCA and its current or former executive directors . . . have lobbied Congress and the executive branch heavily with regard to perennial congressional Armenian genocide resolutions," the complaint says.
The complaint cites interviews and news releases in which Armenian National Committee of America leaders tout their efforts to sway Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., among others.
The committee hasn't registered as a lobbyist with either the House of Representatives or the Senate. Failure to register can be a felony offense, though Sloan said potential problems often were resolved simply by registering after the fact.
The Armenian Assembly of America, the nation's other prominent Armenian-American organization, is registered and reported spending $182,000 on lobbying last year.
"These are the rules, and everybody has to follow them," Sloan said.
The multi-pronged complaint asks the Internal Revenue Service to review potential tax violations and asks the Justice Department to open a criminal probe. It also asks the House and Senate to open "companion inquiries" into the lobbying allegations.
Citing news accounts, a U.S. Embassy study and the research of Heather Gregg, an assistant professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., the complaint contends that the Armenian National Committee of America is "an arm" of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, a political party that's part of Armenia's ruling coalition.
Agents of foreign political parties are required to register with the Justice Department.
The Armenian National Committee of America can endorse political candidates, as a 501(c)(4) organization. The affiliated Armenian National Committee of America Western Region, based in Glendale, Calif., cannot because it's a 501(c)(3) organization. The complaint alleges that the Western office nonetheless participated in the national organization's candidate endorsements, in part by sharing a Web site.
Sloan said the complaint arose from "a tip" received late last year.
Sloan's nonprofit, six-year-old ethics group claims no partisan affiliation, and it's previously filed ethics complaints about lawmakers of both parties.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sally D from Nice pants but I wish you still had corduroy I have a pair of NYDJ corduroy pants that I bought a few years ago which are excellent. I have worn them many, many times and they have lasted extremely well. Recently I spilled a drop of clorox on them so they have a permanent spot. I got on the NYDJ website hoping to get another pair of corduroy pants. Unfortunately they don't make corduroy anymore so I bought these Marilyn straight pants. They are very nice pants and they fit me very well but they are not as warm as my corduroy ones and I wish there had been more color choices.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Pat S from Disappointed I bought a pair of pants similar to these quite awhile ago and they have been perfect. They are soft, little to no ironing and fit perfect. I wore them so much that they finally wore out. I tried to order another pair but you no longer carry that style. The pair I purchased were soft and fit great when I received them. I washed them as the instructions said and they were no longer soft. They were a little better after ironing them. I wore them to work and they seemed fine but by the end of the day they were falling off of me. I didn't even need to unbutton them to use the restrooms because they were so loose that I could just pull them down. At $119.000 for one pair I would think they would be way better then these are. I purchased the same size and I weigh the same. Very upset and will not be purchasing anymore from NYDJ.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Freda from Color NOT pale pink as pictured I bought one of these earlier. When I saw this more recent ad I thought it was a different color than the pants I purchased earlier (which turned out to be an intense dark pink, which was disappointing); I thought it was the pale pink pictured in the photo and the site and bought it. Turns out to be just like the one I had; it isn't a pale pink; it's an intense rather dark pink. Have returned it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Janet XXX from Too large and saggy I usually buy size 12 NYDJ. Previously wore size 12 Samantha Slim. The Samantha Slim were great quality, fit perfectly, and are now worn out after 4years of frequent use. I can't find a comparable NYDJ product, and I'm truly disappointed. I've worn the Marilyn Straight jeans twice, washed the jeans hoping they would shrink, and now I'm left with a saggy fit and poor quality fabric.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jnwhitchurch from Runs a bit small, but Amazing! The straw color is beautiful! I own at least 15 - 20 pairs of NYDJ in black, gray, various shades of blue, one in white, now 2 in straw. They are all Marilyn Straight in size 6 except for the straw color. I found I needed to go up to an 8 in the straw; maybe the fabric is slightly different, don't know. THANK YOU. Clearly I love these jeans!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Legs too long from Look great...soo comfortable! I just got these, and they are wonderful –slimming, comfortable, and cute! I'm 5'9", but have a 35 inch inseam. If these came in Tall, I'd buy every color...they are great for summer, when I can get away with a shorter length...its an ankle pant for me, at best. Longer would get 5 stars!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lorraine B from So comfortable! I was skeptical to order these online, but I trusted NYDJ brand because I've worn them before. OMG am I pleased. I wear them every day. I needed a comfortable, great looking pair of neutral pants for work. These are awesome. I'm ordering another pair... Want them in more colors please!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Linda C from Length I'm 5' 10". Unfortunately, your 32" regular length is too short for my long legs and the 36" tall are too tall. Wish you had a 33" or 34" length. Otherwise, I really like your product. Purchased 32" regular in the past and not returned. I wear them with flats but I don't like flats.

Not Quite a League of Her Own, But Progress Nonetheless
Sixteen-year-old Eri Yoshida, a knuckleball throwin' femme phenom, recently became the first woman ever drafted in the Japanese Professional Baseball League — which would most probably make her the first professional female baseball player in an all-male league (I think; our staff is working on this one).
Eri, a studious highschooler with a keen eye for Red Sox geriatric Tim Wakefield and his trademark knuckleballing mechanics, has proven herself quite the asset amongst her male counterparts and thus looks forward to breaking in as a rookie with the Kobe 9 Cruise this spring.
In lieu of these developments, we at RSBS (namely Me) would like to take a moment to congratulate Eri Yoshida on her groundbreaking achievement by memorializing the trailblazing feats of women sports icons both past and present because… well, because we can and we should.
And we will.
Helene Robison Britton
Inheriting the St. Louis Cardinals from her uncle, Stanley Robison, in 1911, Ms. Britton broke ground as the first woman in the history of the world to own a Major League Baseball club. During her six year reign at the top of the Cardinals organization, the team managed an average winning percentage of .441, a number which — in a round about world — popped up again in 2008 as the batting average for hitters facing the Cardinals bullpen.
Hillary Clinton
Okay, so she's not much of an athlete, but she sure knows how to piss a lot of people off with her baseball-related antics. Sen. Clinton's meandering baseball allegiances have long been the seed of the People's frustration. America may not see in just black and white anymore, but we die-hard baseball fans tend to be staunch conservatives when it comes to flagrantly waving about one's fan preference. Don't get me wrong: I sincerely respect Senator Clinton. She had a great run and she would've gotten my vote if the desire for change in Washington wasn't burning so strong in my heart. I voted for that change. And how am I (and all US Americans) being rewarded? By seeing the same old Washington insiders posted in the highest offices under the President.
Excuse me while I go stab myself.
Erin Andrews
Super hot woman who knows more about sports than I do? Not much else to say.
Sarah Palin
Now that the dust has somewhat settled, let me commend Gov. Palin on being the laughingstock of modern politics. Not quite the Dan Quayle Potato-Head, still, she provided plenty a laugh throughout the campaign. She's worthy of commendation because she stuck it out and never got too rattled (unless you count that Katie Couric interview, SNL, et al). As an avid hunter, basketball player and all around "hot mamma", I bet she'd be a pretty sturdy fireballer on the mound late in a game. The Cardinals need some bullpen help. I'm just sayin'…
Allison Stokke
*Drool… drool… drool…
What? She didn't make the Olympics? She doesn't play baseball? Do I even care?
Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Senegal is one of the most stable countries in West Africa, but this stability cannot hide the poverty that prevails.
More than half of its 12.5 million inhabitants (UN, 2009) live below the poverty line. It ranked 166th out of 199 countries in the UNDP's Human Development Index 2009. Its economy is dominated mainly by peanut farming, fishing and services. The agricultural sector – the largest provider of jobs and resources – is going through difficulties because of a lack of modern agricultural equipment. As a result, the consumption needs of the population are not met. Senegal is a country that depends heavily on imports of basic foodstuffs such as rice.
Oxfam in Senegal
Oxfam has been working in Senegal since 1981, focusing its work on gender, governance, peace and security in Casamance, and fair trade. Over the past 30 years, we have worked with 50 civil society organizations.
Oxfam's work today focuses on three main areas:
- Governance and citizen control: full participation in the political, social, and economic life for women and youth through a shift in power relations and active citizenship.
- Sustainable livelihoods and food security: improving access for men and women to livelihoods and their control to increase their income and ensure food security.
- Humanitarian action: improving knowledge of disaster risks and increasing the knowledge of communities to cope.
As part of refocusing our work in Senegal, Oxfam has identified three geographic areas: northern (regions of Saint Louis and Matam), eastern (Tambacounda and Kedougou), and southern Senegal (regions Ziguinchor, Kolda and Sédiou). These regions were chosen because of the level of vulnerability and the presence of strong partners.

Market Insights: Sold in 67 days: Prepare your property
Special to the Daily
Editor's note: This is a series of articles about how to get your property sold in 67 days. To read the previous articles and review all 12 steps in the process, go to http://www.summitdaily.com and search for "market insights."
The steps to selling in 67 days which we have discussed so far are: 1) Plan ahead, 2) Know the market, 3) Make the commitment to sell and 4) Select your Realtor. Now we will talk about the fifth step, working as a team and preparing your property.
At this stage of getting your property sold in a flash (67 days is "a flash" in Summit County), you have signed a seller agency marketing agreement (commonly known as the listing agreement) with a Realtor you like and trust.
You, the seller, and your Realtor, are now a team dedicated to obtaining the highest possible price the market will bear for your property. Since you are planning ahead, you are best to have plenty of time before your property actually goes on the market. This is the period of time when a team effort is most critical.
Here is the most important advice I can provide: be involved. Your top-notch Realtor wants your input, ideas and participation. Listen to each other and focus on your goal – getting top dollar.
I know this advice is unconventional. I am advocating you select your Realtor before nailing down the final marketing price. In general, sellers want to hear the price a Realtor recommends before they select the Realtor. However, if you follow the first four steps, you will know the approximate value of your property and you will be working with a Realtor whom you trust. Based on this, together you determine the price. The marketing price is influenced by numerous factors, such as how much you are willing to invest in upgrading or staging, your belief in if the market is heading up or down and your commitment to selling.
This series of articles does now allow me to elaborate on the 'ins and outs' of pricing. I have written several articles in the Market Insights column over the years about pricing (email me and I will send these to you).
I remember my mother, who was a pioneering female Realtor when I was a kid, saying that most people want to buy a polished trophy that shows pride of ownership. Yet she said that too often the homes for sale are worn out, out-of-date and tired. In other words, the seller has placed on the market a tarnished and dinged trophy. Here we are 40 years later and it is exactly the same. One thing that has changed, is that now adays there are plenty of people who are pleased to buy that crummy old trophy and polish it themselves; however, they expect to pay way, way below the market value.
So, if you want to get the highest price for your property, invest in sprucing it up. Again, there have been several articles on staging in past Market Insights articles, so please email me for copies.
This is a stage of the process you do not want to rush. Allow yourself however much time is needed, often around a month or so, to get ready. I do recommend setting a deadline, such as a published open house date, so you do not delay too long. All of this is important as our next step, which will be in the paper next week, "Explode onto the market."
See you next Saturday. Love life, DWJ.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Litigation Release No. 18525 / December 24, 2003
SEC Halts $800 Million Investment Fraud in Orange County
Securities And Exchange Commission v. James P. Lewis, Jr., Individually and Doing Business as Financial Advisory Consultants, Income Fund, Ltd. and Growth Fund, Ltd. (Case No. CV-03-9354 (ABC)(C.D. Cal., S. Div.)
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today the filing of charges to halt a fraudulent scheme in which over 5,200 investor accounts purportedly hold investments of over $813 million through an Orange County, Calif. business known as Financial Advisory Consultants (FAC). The SEC's complaint, filed yesterday in federal district court names James P. Lewis, Jr., of Laguna Niguel, California, who allegedly has sold securities in two funds, known as the Income Fund, Ltd. and the Growth Fund, Ltd., since 1983 through FAC.
The Honorable Audrey B. Collins, United States District Judge for the Central District of California, issued a temporary restraining order against Lewis, which temporarily restrains him from committing future securities fraud violations and freezes the assets of Lewis, FAC, and the Funds.
The Commission's complaint alleges that for almost 20 years, Lewis, doing business as FAC, sold interests in the Funds. According to the Funds' offering documents, the Income Fund purportedly invests in equipment leasing and insurance premium financing programs and has purportedly realized an average annual return of more than 19% per year since its inception in 1983; and the Growth Fund purportedly buys and sells distressed businesses and has purportedly realized an average annual return of almost 39% per year since its inception in 1987. Lewis has paid about $1.6 million per month in regular withdrawals and about $4 to $7 million per month in other withdrawals. Lewis, FAC, and the Funds are not registered with the Commission.
The Commission's complaint further alleges that since about June 2003, Lewis has not honored many requests to withdraw monies by investors in the Funds. Instead, Lewis has misrepresented to the investors that FAC's and the Funds' accounts had been frozen by the Department of Homeland Security. The Commission's complaint alleges that the Department of Homeland Security has not frozen FAC's and the Funds' accounts, and that Lewis, either directly or indirectly, posed as a Department of Homeland Security official in an attempt to convince FAC administrative personnel that the freeze existed.
The Commission complaint further alleges that while he has failed to honor many withdrawal requests, Lewis has been accepting new investments into the Funds, reinvesting the investors' purported profits in the Funds, soliciting certain investors to make additional large investments in the Funds, and honoring certain investors' withdrawal requests. In addition, about the time that Lewis began to tell Fund investors that FAC's and the Funds' accounts had been frozen by the Department of Homeland Security, Lewis withdrew $3 million from his Income Fund account.
The district court's order temporarily restrains Lewis from future violations of the antifraud provisions of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The court's order also freezes the assets of Lewis, FAC, and the Funds; orders Lewis to account for his, FAC's, and the Funds' assets and not to destroy any documents; grants expedited discovery; and orders Lewis to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not be entered against him. A hearing on the preliminary injunction is scheduled for January 7, 2004.
In addition to the emergency relief granted on December 23, 2003, the Commission seeks against Lewis a permanent injunction from future securities fraud violations, disgorgement of all ill-gotten gains plus interest, and civil penalties.

A New Light for Social Cinema/
Editor's Note: When I discover new platforms for filmmakers to get their work seen, I tend to invite the innovators to write a post to introduce our readers to the service. This is not an endorsement, but I do find it thrilling there are so many options!
by Colin George, Editor-in-Chief, Cinecliq.com
The lights are down. The score swells. Unbelievable — that guy three rows down is texting again.
How many times has this happened to you? Moviegoing, real moviegoing, is an increasingly alienating experience, thanks in part to smartphone dependency and our addiction to social media. We can't even go cold turkey for two hours. Watching movies can and should be a communal experience, but that white rectangle three rows down illuminates the face of an outlier, not a participant.
So how do we reconcile our shared love for cinematic storytelling with our growing need for 24/7 connectivity? So far, the answer has been segregation — leading theater chains have proposed separate screenings encouraging texters and tweeters to 'light up' throughout. Conversely, purists at the Austin-based Alamo Drafthouse took a hard stance against cellphone use, turning a profanity-laden voicemail from a disgruntled ex-patron into their corporate credo: "Thanks for not coming back to the Alamo, texter!"
Talkers are even more despised by cinephiles. The loudest are the youngest: hyperactive teens for whom the prospect of sitting quietly for two primetime Friday hours is a fate worse than death. No wonder their generation is disenfranchised with the stalwart traditions of movie night — the anonymous shhh! that silences them is the only acceptable social gesture made the entire evening.
Maybe their frustration, coupled with the frustration of the patrons they rudely interrupt, account for the recent spike in video-on-demand popularity. Or maybe it's the thirteen dollar popcorn and 40 oz soda combo. More and more, would-be theatergoers are consuming feature films at home and on-the-go, watching with a small circle of family or friends, or alone on their commute.
But by limiting the theater audience to available couch space, the current VOD model eschews community in favor of convenience. Additionally, Netflix has stripped back social features from its service, which once included a community tab with a suite of networking options. Gungho on securing rights to as broad a library of content as possible (even a casual perusal of the Instant Queue evinces their quantity over quality stratagem), the company is further marginalizing the intended inclusiveness of cinema.
At Cinecliq, we hope to offer the best of both worlds. Just like our users, we spend a lot of time on Facebook; that's why we set up shop there. By integrating our service into the world's leading social network, we provide them with a place to watch fullscreen HD movies together, and encourage them to engage with friends — watch, comment, like, and share picks, ratings, etc. And because we're available wherever Facebook is, there's always more room on the couch.
Plus, unlike at the local multiplex, on Cinecliq you can chat to your heart's content. The purists can join the conversation after the credits roll. Just imagine it: the lights are down; the score swells. It's just you and your friends — all 900 million of them.

AfroCuban themed artwork by Susan Matthews will be on display in the library including part of the Secrets Under the Skin exhibit.
Secrets Under the Skin is a collaborative, multi-disciplinary art installation created by seven artists that premiered December, 2010 in Havana, Cuba, and January, 2011 in Anchorage, Alaska. The installation, comprised of media, visual art, photographs and -- when possible -- live performance art and live performance, connects the Arará community in Perico, Cuba with a parallel religious community in Dzodze, Ghana and brings their similarities to light via art.
