In the conclusion to a scheme that began in 2006, a fourth defendant will face a criminal sentencing later this fall. The white collar crime case involved mortgage applications for 12 luxury homes in Florida. Three other defendants-all purported home buyers-are already serving prison terms. This defendant served as their realtor.
South Florida Man Gets 10 Year Sentence For Drug Diversion
A federal judge recently sentenced a South Florida defendant to 120 months in prison. The defendant pled guilty to several charges, including conspiring with a corporation to resell diverted prescription drugs. Drug diversion is a federal crime that occurs when a defendant sells prescription pharmaceuticals outside of a lawful distribution method.
Lawyers And Mortgage Fraud
The American Bar Association reports that many of the defendants in mortgage and real-estate fraud prosecutions are lawyers. As a state that experienced a particularly painful real estate meltdown in recent years, several Florida lawyers figure prominently in the report.
Florida Woman Among Nine Charged In Mortgage Fraud Case
Last week, a federal grand jury returned several indictments leveling charges at 9 individuals, including a Boca Raton woman. The charges are for mail fraud and bank fraud, all stemming from an alleged mortgage fraud scheme in California. The group charged is accused of illegal acts concerning 19 total properties in Carmichael, Sacramento and Copperopolis, California. The Florida woman was among several accused of acting as straw buyers in various transactions.
Miami Medicare Case Sends Husband And Wife To Prison
Earlier this year, a Miami couple pleaded guilty to Medicare fraud in a deal with prosecutors. Based on the plea deal, a federal judge sentenced the couple to prison last week. Prosecutors accused the couple of committing health care fraud by submitting $45 million in false claims.
Guilty Plea in $130 Million Ponzi Scheme Prosecution
Prosecutors apparently reached a plea deal in a massive Ponzi scheme investigation. The deal requires the 62-year-old defendant to plead guilty to 18 criminal counts. According to guilty plea, the Ponzi scheme sold high-yield certificates of deposit to 1,200 investors.
Volunteer Ambulance Squad Accused Of fraud For Faking 1000 Miles
A group of small-town ambulance volunteers face a federal prosecution. New charges claim that the group enriched itself by submitting fraudulent billing for unnecessary services. The team of volunteers allegedly defrauded Medicare of around $880,000.
Federal Prosecutors Make Plea Deal With Middleman In Fraud Case
The U.S. attorney's office struck a deal with a Miami defendant this week, reducing his prison sentence in exchange for cooperation in a larger fraud prosecution. The defendant pled guilty to laundering funds as part of a massive health care fraud network.
How 50,000 Drug Tests Become Invalid
State and federal rules concerning the handling of evidence are a vital component of a legitimate criminal justice system. To be convicted of a drug crime based on tainted evidence is a nightmare no one should have to experience in the United States. Recent events in Massachusetts demonstrate how easily a single person can threaten the liberty of countless individuals through carelessness, neglect, and even deliberate mishandling.
Two Decades' Old Income Tax Debt Leads To Hefty Fine, Prison Sentence
A dispute involving the taxes owed on 1993 income led to a criminal conviction and sentencing last week. A 63-year-old Florida man was sentenced to 1 year in federal prison and fined $4.3 million dollars for tax evasion after he entered a guilty plea. The case stems from a tax bill of $889,520 levied by the IRS in 2001. The man did not pay the bill over the next 10 years and took steps to frustrate attempts by the Internal Revenue Service to collect the money through levies on his income and liens taken against property in Florida and Tennessee. Interest and penalties turned the debt into the $4.3 million he was eventually fined.
South Florida Healthcare Fraud Prosecution News
A new federal report points to South Florida as a hotspot of healthcare fraud. This report coincides with last week's jury verdict against the operators of a Miami mental health center. Both of these developments are examples of how prosecutors are increasingly focused on healthcare fraud cases in South Florida.

So, it is time to sit back and tail it to find out the returns through numbers. How well is it doing in the compact crossover segment? A cursory glance at the early figures provide ample proof that the new Ignis, the latest offering of Maruti sold exclusively at Nexa, is an instant hit in the Indian market.
The booking numbers are already pushing only one way -- upwards. Ignis has sold 15,000 units in the first two months of its launch.
The latest buzz is that the Delta variant of Ignis is in high demand and contributed to almost 50 percent of the sales. Ignis is offered in Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha variants.
The petrol models of Ignis are also more in demand and out of every 10 models of Ignis sold, two are said to be AMT models, reports ET Auto. The waiting period of Ignis is also on the rise, with the waiting period climbed up to four months in some cities.
Ignis is made at Gurgaon plant of the company in Haryana, where Vitara Brezza is also produced.
Priced at Rs 4.59 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), Ignis comes with two engine options — 1.2L VVT petrol and 1.3L DDiS 190 diesel engine. The petrol as well as the diesel trims come with AGS technology. While the petrol mill in Ignis is tuned to churn out 82bhp of power at 6,000rpm with a torque of 113Nm at 4,200rpm, the diesel mill generates 74bhp of power at 4,000 rpm along with a torque of 190Nm at 2,000 rpm.

Last Week:
Steve Underdahl calls Northfield Hospital & Clinics "a remarkable treasure." Many communities our size would love to have a thriving healthcare organization for their own, said the new president and CEO of Northfield Hospital & Clinics. In his words: "This is no rescue mission."
He praised past hospital leaders for their vision and courage. His reading of the record suggests the decision to relocate and invest millions in a new hospital on the northwest edge of town was not universally endorsed. But it did position the hospital for growth and the expansion of medical services available to the community.
With 30 years of experience in healthcare administration, he passed on numerous invitations to rescue failing hospitals. But here he saw a dynamic, forward-leaning organization located in a progressive, intellectually-engaged community, and he said: "yes."
Steve's family has roots in the Kenyon area, but he has lived in Owatonna most of life. He calls his professional trajectory the "mail room" story. He entered healthcare on the ground floor as an orderly, attended night school and worked his way up the administrative ranks.
During his first five months in Northfield, he has been learning about the hospital and clinics and the communities they serve. He and the board are revisiting the strategic plan with an eye toward making sure we are a "high-value" organization, delivering quality care at the lowest possible cost.
The finances of healthcare right now are tenuous. Lots is changing and like farmers, he said, in healthcare you touch a lot of money, but you don't get to keep very much of it.
Going forward, he sees Northfield Hospital & Clinics being more data driven. We will be measuring customer satisfaction and clinical outcomes. He also sees us taking more responsibility for the health improvement of the communities we serve.
Steve said it is not clear where the Affordable Care Act will take us. More people will be insured and have access to healthcare services. But high deductible policies might increase the hospital's bad debt. He predicts that two to three years down the road, when the politics are squeezed out of the discussion, it will be judged to have been a good policy move.

The Good Earth, by Pearl S. Buck, Or: Jeez This Review is OverdueMarch 15, 2015
At its simplest, The Good Earth is the cradle-to-grave (or young-adult-to-grave) story of Wang Lung, a farmer in rural China. We first meet Lung on the way to retrieve his wife, O-lan, a slave of the House of Hwang (the sprawling home of very rich landowners in a neighboring town). We watch Lung start his family and move from simple beginnings to growing wealth as he purchases land. As his economic circumstances change, so do his tastes; he seeks out richer food, finer clothing, and quiet, dedicated O-lan pales in comparison to the painted courtesans of the town. All the while, the earth itself looms large in the background, giving and taking away, the ultimate arbiter.
I oscillated between being Lung's biggest cheerleader to wishing he would just drop dead already. The latter feeling is probably self-righteousness on my part—I can't say I wouldn't become just as superficial and self-interested if my coffers were suddenly flooded. Despite disliking him, I admire how real Lung seemed, perhaps because of how clearly we do see his unsavory traits.
Another strong aspect of this book is Buck's willingness to face the hard realities of famine dead-on. If you choose to read it, know that you're in for references to infanticide and cannibalism. None is particularly gruesome, but I can see how these topics wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea.
Outside of the content of the story, I kept coming back to its origins. Born in West Virginia, Pearl S. Buck spent a significant portion of her life in China with her missionary parents. A white woman, she continued to think in Chinese well into her English-speaking adult life. In an interesting parallel, I was having similar thoughts while recently reading A Partial History of Lost Causes by Jennifer duBois. (Review will come whenever I get around to it.) The book tackles Russian politics from the 1980s to the late '00s, and, as far as I can tell, the author has never been to Russia and doesn't have particular ties to the country. This got me thinking about what makes a person "qualified" to write about a certain country or culture. Do you really have to be qualified? I'm of a few minds on this one, so I'd love to hear what you guys think.
There are other parts of this book that definitely warrant more extensive discussion, but this review has taken me long enough. Overall, I enjoyed The Good Earth, but it won't be joining my 'favorites' list.
14 comments
I've been meaning to read this one for YEARS...and finally got the eBook a few months ago when it went on sale. I didn't know that about Buck living in China when she was a youth. Authenticity or qualification is such a difficult topic! I definitely think that living in China puts her closer to the source than the example of the book about Russia. I don't know if one has to be "qualified" to write a really good story...though it might not be as authentic as if a native Chinese person had told the story? Hmmm....I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning. ;)ReplyDelete
I have the same struggles as you, and I've already had some coffee. ;)ReplyDelete
On the one hand, I don't think you necessarily have to be from a place to write a compelling story set there, especially if you aren't aiming to educate people about the country itself. On the other, I think there *are* situations where intimate familiarity with a place is important (whether because you're from there or spent a lot of time there), especially when you're writing about more sensitive/charged topics, e.g., race/ethnic group relations. It all depends!
I hope you enjoy it! And get some coffee! ;)
- Katie McDermottMarch 15, 2015 at 12:32 PM
I haven't read this, but I am a sucker for a cradle-to-grave story! Interesting thoughts re: qualification to write about a certain topic. I think people can write about whatever they want, although as a reader, I will take into account the author's background. Stating the obvious (at least to me) I think it will come across as more meaningful, or reflective, or [I'm blanking on the adjective I'm looking for here]... if the author has first hand experience with their subject matter. Excellent review!ReplyDelete
Agreed that a writer shouldn't feel restricted to only writing about places they've been to or things they've experienced! Of course, it does add to the authenticity of your work if you do. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the visit! If you're into cradle-to-grave, you might really like this one.
I read this, at a rough guess, around fifty years or more ago. Time for a reread, lol. I laugh, but I do remember enjoying it and it stuck with me for a while. She was the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize for literature.ReplyDelete
Yes, there was a lot to think about and quite well-written! I'm sure you'd enjoy rereading it. :)ReplyDelete
I love this book and I try to re-read it every few years. I've never reviewed it, nor do I think I could put into words why I love this book so much. I just do :D I'm sorry it won't be joining your list of favorites but this is why I love this community. We all have such different taste and I think that's awesome.ReplyDelete
- Amanda @ The Zen LeafMarch 18, 2015 at 4:07 PM
I admit that I absolutely adore this book. I read it in 2008 and reviewed it early on in my blogging. :)ReplyDelete
The copy of The Good Earth I read had a wonderful introduction and some interesting thoughts about her qualifications to write on these subjects. AND PICTURES! So I really enjoyed the learning experience. Mostly it was not at all what I expected. Usually the case for classics - I wonder why I never remember it.ReplyDelete
I agree! I love hearing everyone's perspectives, even if I don't personally connect and/or agree with them.ReplyDelete
I'm glad you like it enough to read it over and over again. I find my opinion of a book is influenced so much by timing—maybe if I'd read this book at a different time in my life, I would have liked it more! Perhaps I'll give it another go at some point. :)
Ah, I haven't seen your review! I'll have to go check it out.ReplyDelete
There's quite a lot to enjoy about it, I think, but it just didn't do it for me on the first read. Like I told Jen, maybe I'll give it another try later in life. :)
Ooh, I'd have loved to read that introduction! Do you remember what edition it was?ReplyDelete
Darn. It was from the library and USUALLY I am a stickler about recording which edition I read but with a classic there are SO MANY. Apparently I couldn't find it in goodreads and didn't bother to add it. I'm sorry. I have no idea. It think it was from the 70s I think. I really thought I had recorded the info. If you know anyone who lives in Lakeville MA area - go look for it. :D (I moved since then or I really would go look. I would!)ReplyDelete
I just did! Love the tags. Also, SO agreed that O-lan is a BAMF.ReplyDelete

Product 33/129
But it was not until 2008 that Final Exit released their masterpiece as a 3" CD on Rage For All Records. Their most contrasting and musically tight cut-up style yet, their cleanest and most powerful production yet, their most fully realized aesthetic yet; the CD was an instant classic for all the noise freaks and grind aficionados, cementing Final Exit's legendary status. It remains one of my personal all-time favorite pieces of music. It was the kind of CD that I spent my college nights sitting with my friends discussing at great length, listening over and over, watching YouTube videos of their gigs with eyes wide and mouths agape.
Remastered for a one-sided 12" with the same deluxe full-color gatefold packaging as the CD that came out previously.
This product was added to our catalog on Saturday 18 March, 2017.

It is not a good time to be a free thinker on the Indian subcontinent. Two secular voices Avijit Roy and Washiqur Rahman were forever silenced in Bangladesh barely a few weeks apart. Then, an outspoken activist Sabeen Mahmud was brazenly assassinated in Pakistan. On May 12, another Mukto-Mona blogger Ananta Bijoy Das was murdered by machete wielding thugs in the city of Sylhet, Bangladesh.
We Indians are (relatively) fortunate to have the freedom to voice our opinion without getting stabbed for it, or riddled with high calibre rounds in a drive-by. However, recent trends suggest we may be headed down the same totalitarian path as our neighbours.
Artists and authors have been forced to leave the country for fear of becoming victims of vindictive laws. Movies that touch social taboos and mock our religious beliefs are either censored or face the ire of violent mobs on release. Satirical tweets by a columnist become a heated topic on the floor of the state's Legislative Assembly. An Urdu newspaper Editor who merely published a news story on the Charlie Hebdo massacre was forced into hiding. These are symptoms of fascism creeping into a democracy.
"A secular democracy is under no obligation to defend fragile sentiments and bruised egos. Its laws must protect its citizens and not their fairy-tale beliefs."
Criticism and dissent are necessary to bring about social change. If reformists like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Jyotiba Phule and Behramji Malabari had remained silent out of "respect for beliefs", we would still be burning our widows alive along with their departed husbands or living by a casteist social hierarchy.
A secular democracy is under no obligation to defend fragile sentiments and bruised egos. Its laws must protect its citizens and not their fairy-tale beliefs. By its very definition, secularism calls for the rejection of all religious dogma. Draconian laws such as Section 295A that we nowadays invoke on the slightest pretext are the very antithesis of this definition.
The cringe-worthy tale of how this law came about must be told (at the risk of digressing a bit). In the 1920s, Mahashay Rajpal -- who was the publisher of hitherto banned book Rangila Rasul was acquitted by the Lahore High Court in pre-independent India, on charges of insulting the prophet of Islam (at the time there was no law protecting hurt feelings). A 19-year-old illiterate imbecile by the name of Ilm-ud-Deen, roused by the exhortations of a local Imam decided to right this terrible injustice. He went to Rajpal's shop and stabbed a knife through the latter's blasphemous heart. He eventually walked willingly and unrepentant to the gallows, much to the chagrin of his acclaimed defence counsel Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Ilm-ud-Deen attained martyrdom and a hero's funeral; his name marked scores of roads, schools and parks in Jinnah's future "theocracy" of Pakistan. Section 295A (insult to religion) was the progeny of our British masters, born out of this sordid saga.
Attributing divine traits to inanimate objects and departed shamans does not make them sacrosanct. Certainly not more so than human life and the fundamental rights of the living. "Offending sentiments" is the most infantile of all personal injury claims. One that should be taken only as seriously as you would a Harry Potter fan expressing outrage over a caricature of Albus Dumbledore (not that Potterheads would ever act so petty).
When dissenting voices are browbeaten and the system remains tacit, or worse, treats them as offenders, the system becomes complicit in the slow asphyxiation of freedom. It empowers pernicious elements such as religious fanatics and honour killers, and enables them to ascend from the fringes into the mainstream. Which is exactly what is happening next door.
India may well be the last bastion of free and secular democracy in the region. If we wish to pass on the baton of freedom to the next generation we must exorcise these archaic laws; we must stop tolerating the intolerance of free speech and protect activists from persecution. It may not be a populist move, or one that is favourable to vote-bank politics, but it is the establishment's duty to do so, in the interest of the republic it has pledged to protect.

You can't get much better than this as a cover shot from Harrison Marks for Kamera! Not one but two naked blonde beauties in the form of Pamela Green and June Simpson on the cover of Kamera No.18 (1959). The pose from June Simpson and angle that she's stood just show off her figure and that great curvy bum to perfection and then there next to her is Pam looking as serene as ever! One of my top 5 Kamera covers I think and
possibly taken at Ewhurst Manor in what looks to be a sun house? I've since learned that this set of photo's of June & Pam was actually taken at Pam's parents house in Kent of all places.

A woman too drunk to notice a police car heading towards her with all lights flashing. These are just some of the criminals and junkies, the faithful and forlorn encountered by one police officer cruising the streets of one Midwestern US city. But this policeman has an eye for the weird, an overdeveloped sense of humour and a talent for narrative. Which is why Officer Jay Chiarito-Mazarrella created a cult following for his "Street Story" podcasts, vivid vignettes of his work for the Tulsa Police Department. In "24 Hours in Tulsa," we hear the best of the Street Stories, giving us a fresh, funny and sometimes downright scary insight into policing from the horse's mouth.

Tallahassee, Fla. – Juan Spir, Juan Melian and Vikram Hundal each won their first-round matches in singles Friday at the USTA/ITA Southeast Regional, while Spir and Hundal reached the quarterfinals of the doubles draw.
In all, Tech captured three singles matches and four doubles matches Friday, with three players still alive in the singles main draw and one doubles team remaining. Spir and Hundal, the top-seeded doubles team in this event, each won three times Friday and remain alive in both draws.
"I like the tournament format we play in the fall because it allows any player to break out and win a big event," said Tech coach Kenny Thorne. "You are playing against all the best competition as long as you win."
Spir, Tech's two-time All-American from Medellin, Colombia, captured his singles match, 6-3, 6-4, over Casey Kay of Georgia. The No. 2 seed in the regional, Spir takes on Juan Acuna of South Florida Saturday afternoon.
Hundal, a sophomore from Alpharetta, Ga., defeated Ravi Patel of South Florida in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, in the singles draw, moving into a second-round match against Georgia's Nathan Pasha Saturday afternoon. Melian, a senior from Las Palmas, Spain, needed three sets but upset seeded Jordi Vives of Florida Gulf Coast, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7).
Tech's two freshmen both lost in the singles main draw, Garrett Gordon to Hernus Pieters of Georgia, 6-4, 6-3, and Nathan Rakitt to North Florida's Moritz Buercher, 7-6 (5), 6-2. Another freshman, Anish Sharma, won a singles consolation match, 6-3, 6-2, over Jack Murphy of Miami.
"Juan and Vikram played solid matches today and both had fairly routine matches," said Thorne. "Juan Melian upset a seed today and continued playing well like he has done the past few weeks in practice. He lifted his game at key times and stuck with his game even when things weren't looking great. He was down 3-4 15-40 in the third and he served his way back into the match. He is a competitor and he is showing how tough he is to beat.
"Our two freshmen fought well and lost to a couple of not-necessarily better players, but more experienced players. The showed signs of competing at the level we need them to compete. They will get more and more comfortable with their games as they get more matches in. Anish also won a solid backdraw match so we are competing well."
Refreshed with a first-round bye, Spir and Hundal blanked both of their opponents, 8-0, Friday in doubles, defeating Chidi Gabriel and Admire Oshunga of Florida A&M and Will Oliver and Smith of Georgia. The top-seeded team now faces Benjamin Lock and Dominic Cotrone of Florida State, the seventh seed, Saturday.
Meanwhile, Melian and Nathan Rakitt won twice Friday, downing Alex Toliver and Alexander Pena of Kennesaw State, 8-3, and Marco Stancati and Wilfredo Gonzalez of Miami, 8-5. They were stopped in the round of 16, however, by Lock and Cotrone in a close match, 8-6. Tech's freshman pair of Garrett Gordon and Anish Sharma, after a first-round bye, fell 8-0 to Jordan Kelly-Houston and Anderson Reed of Florida State.
"Juan and Vikram did something I haven't seen in my time here at Georgia Tech: they won back to back 8-0 matches. That is not easy to do," said Thorne. "But a win is a win, and they have a tough match to get ready for tomorrow. Nathan and Juan Melian lost a tough one after winning two good doubles matches. They are doing well and will be a very good doubles team for us."
The USTA/ITA Southeast Regional runs through Monday, when championship matches will be played. The champions of the singles and doubles draws at the regional championships will advance to the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships Nov. 8-11 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y.

20 March 2016
In March of this year I headed off on a special trip to Machaba Camp in the beating heart of Africa with three of my favourites, my boyfriend Pieter, who coincidently is also in the travel game and of course my beloved folks.
Machaba, set in the north eastern Okavango, is the local Setswana name for the Sycamore Fig Tree, the tree of life, which in our case became a pivatol part of our holiday. Every evening all the guests would congregate at one long table under a canvas of sycamores and stars, with a warmth and intimacy that was unforgettable. So much so, that the only other table was a family who after one night got 'table envy' and joined us at our table under the trees the following night. But what I love is that if you aren't feeling sociable, a private dining experience is easy to opt for at any stage during your stay. The food was deliciously hearty, unpretentious and authentic. And I loved the way they move both the tea and drinks set up every afternoon and evening.
Tables and trees aside, everyone knows what this incredible wetland has to offer, and our private guide, Moreri, was the best ambassador to accompany us.
He was knowledgeable, patient with all the questions and caring with my folks. Despite the recent rains, we were fortonute enough to have fantastic
game viewing including elephants, two leopard sightings, an excellent daylight serval sighting and brilliant birds. We really embraced the exclusivity
of the quiet season.
The camp itself is authentic and of the ten tents in total, two of which are cleverly designed generously sized family tents including a lounge area, shared bathroom and two bedrooms - perfect for multi generational holidays. Machabe knows no age limit.
The main area overlooks the Khwai River that provided ample hippo and birding sights and sounds, and it quenches your bathing thirst for their sparkly
new swimming pool, because let's face it, you wouldn't want to take a dip with our-footed semi-aquatic friends!
Their numerous eco awards are impressive, and although there's no
wifi or mobile reception in the camp, they do have a little table under the trees where guests can connect with the outside world. Not that you need or want to here!

Yes, I'm an addict too: Why I'm no different from Amy Winehouse
"I told you I was trouble," Amy Winehouse sang, "You know that I'm no good."
For me, that's the most poignant lyric she ever wrote. It sums up the mind of an addict. You see, it wasn't a brag; it was a mixture of 'keep away' and 'help me'.
How do I know? Because not so long ago, I was Amy Winehouse.
For most addicts, there's a constant presence on your shoulder telling you you're not good enough, that somehow, you're 'less' than everyone out there. Your thoughts go round like a washing machine on high-speed. The noise in your head is constant, loud and harsh. It doesn't matter whether you're a rich and famous popstar, or Mary Taylor in Islington, homeless and sleeping rough in a shop doorway; it's that same mindset. Alcohol and drugs are merely the medication.
Addiction isn't fun. Addiction isn't "Let's go to the pub and get pissed and have a right laugh" or "Let's get fucked on drugs and get up to mischief". Addiction is lonely, terrifying and insidious. Oh, sure, you start out like everyone else, a few drinks here and there, a dabble or two in something a little harder. You don't realise when it stops being fun, but it does. Suddenly you find yourself alone in a room, afraid to go out, because 'outside' is too damn scary.
So you take that hit, and for a short while, the noise stops. Peace through oblivion. Then you come around and the noise starts again, louder this time, and coupled with the anxiety, fear and terror that come with withdrawal. So you take another hit. Sweet, blessed relief. And somewhere in the back of your mind you hope you don't wake up from this one. You're nothing but trouble, you see. All you cause is pain and worry.
I read a fantastic blog by Russell Brand today, in which he said:
"When you love someone who suffers from the disease of addiction, you await the phonecall. There will be a phonecall. The sincere hope is that the call will be from the addict themselves, telling you they've had enough, that they're ready to stop, ready to try something new. Of course though, you fear the other call, the sad nocturnal chime from a friend or relative telling you it's too late, she's gone. Frustratingly it's not a call you can ever make — it must be received."
The problem is, addiction is the only disease in existence that tells you that you haven't got it. Lock an addict away and they'll be looking for an escape, or biding their time and playing the 'yes, I'm fine now' role until they're alone again. I've had people in the kitchen pouring drink away while I've been climbing out of the bedroom window on my way to buy more.
I've been a day out of hospital after being found in my flat, hours away from death, and already I'm figuring out where I can get hold of some gear. I believed the booze and drugs were giving me something. In fact, it was the opposite. They were hollowing me out, alienating my friends and family and slowly stripping me of all that was real and good.
Sadly, all the love and support in the world wasn't going to help Amy get better. She was trotted out on stage at every opportunity to make money for her record company. She didn't have the luxury I've had of anonymity, of being left alone so she could get better. Contracts had been signed and albums were due. Her star had to keep shining, and all the while the press were snapping at her heels, waiting for her to fall again.
I can't imagine anything more frightening than the whole world waiting with bated breath for me to fuck up, then posting it on YouTube when I do.
Yesterday evening, people shut down Facebook and Twitter on their computers, still in shock and disbelief at this tragedy, before heading off down to the pubs and clubs for a well-deserved weekend blowout.
Mary in Islington sits down in her shop doorway, begging for a few coins to get a can of beer. Just a little something to help take the edge off. You might have seen her last night, she may have come up to ask you for some change, desperate and devoid of pride, but like a lot of people, you probably looked away, annoyed and uncomfortable.
Sunday morning rolls around, and half of London wakes up with a hangover. Some might even still be going. iTunes seizes the opportunity to promote Amy's albums on its homepage to make some cash, and somewhere in Islington, an ambulance arrives to take away the body of a homeless woman found dead in a shop doorway.
And all over the world, recovering addicts wake up and pray to a God they're not even sure exists for the strength to stay clean one more day.
The world carries on. Then somewhere, a phone rings.
The lessons I learned in Ibiza
This is what I learned on holiday in Ibiza:
- I'm never again flying from Stansted…
…and the same goes for flying with Ryanair.
- Getting a tan may be bad for the skin…
…but it's incredibly good for the soul.
- My friends are even more fantastic than I realised…
…and my best friend knows me frighteningly well.
- A jetski is guaranteed to make you look cool…
…and even falling off one is fun.
- Most of the island's public toilets have run out of soap…
…and the hand dryers are all broken too.
- Mixing beer, mojitos, caramel vodka shots and gin is a tremendously bad idea after six months off booze…
…and smoking on top of it doesn't help the situation.
- I never used to get knackered after five minutes of dancing…
…and my stomach never used to wobble either.
- The film 'I, Robot' in Spanish translates as 'Yo, Robot'…
…and this makes me laugh like a seal.
- Laughing can make you forget you're hurting…
…even if it's only for a few seconds.
- I learned that saying goodbye always hurts like hell…
…but even more so when it's your decision.
- And that I don't know what's worse — only having part of someone…
…or not having them at all.
- That sometimes you shouldn't dare to hope…
…because it can be as destructive as despair.
- And when you're missing the person you love…
…there's little difference between one mile and a thousand.
- That you can run as far as you like from a broken heart…
…but eventually you have to return and try to mend it.
- And even though I didn't want to come back…
…it's also really nice to be home.
Can I survive a life without booze?
I'm about to embark on one of the most difficult journeys I've ever made.
Deep breath.
Here I go.
I'm giving up alcohol in the new year.
There. It's out. It's public. No going back.
There are a couple of reasons behind my decision.
Reason number one: I simply want to see if I can do it. After all, it's a big old challenge. Booze is the lubricant that greases the wheels of new friendships, flirting and one night stands. How different will life be without that crutch to fall back on?
Reason number two: I desperately want to give up smoking.
My problem with smoking and drinking is that as soon as I get even a whiff of an alcoholic substance, I'm overcome with the craving to stick a fag in my gob and puff away.
This would be fine if I could limit myself to social smoking, but for me, it's all or nothing. It starts with accepting every social invitation I get just so I have an excuse to smoke. Then before long, it's crept back into my daily routine like bindweed in an untended garden.
Reason number three: As I hurtle further along the road of thirtysomething-ness, the effects of too much beer and wine tend to hang around a lot longer than a simple next-day hangover. Namely on my belly.
Having spent my entire twenties being the envy of my friends because I had abs you could bounce a fifty pence piece off of, this is, as you can imagine, somewhat horrifying.
So all in all, a couple of really good reasons to ban the booze.
So why does the thought of a life without alcohol strike utter terror into my heart?
Far from it being socially acceptable to be teetotal, most people look at you like you've grown an extra head when you ask for a soft drink instead of a beer.
Having just spent Christmas on antibiotics and therefore tipple-free, I found myself getting mildly irritated as my family and friends slowly became louder and gigglier as the day wore on. I felt like I was on a different wavelength.
And what is this going to do for my sex life? No longer will I have the 'confidence' to walk up to fit boys in bars and devastate them with (what I believe to be) my witty repartee.
Oh, Lord.
Am I going to become *gasp* boring?
Before I go and hurl myself into the Thames, let's look at the positives:
- I'm going to lose my rapidly expanding beer belly
- I might make it to the gym on a Saturday morning for once
- I might actually kick the fags for good
- I'm going to be a hell of a lot healthier (see points 2 and 3)
- I won't waste my weekends dying on the sofa with a hangover
- I'll stop snogging guys I wouldn't fancy in a million years if I was sober
- I won't wake up in a strange bed and recoil in horror at the person lying next to me
- I might actually make it through a party without creeping off to a bedroom somewhere to crash out for an hour
- I can laugh at my friends when they get into a state and remind them of what they did when I see them the next day
Hmm, this is actually looking a lot better than it did a few minutes ago.
So I guess mine's an orange juice.
Well, for a while, anyway…
Are some people just born smokers?
I'm sick of smoking. I really am.
I'm sick of paying six quid every single day, I'm sick of putting on clothes that should smell like washing powder but smell stale and old instead. I'm sick of having yellow fingers, I'm sick of getting jittery when I run out or haven't had one for an hour or so. I'm sick of having no money at the end of the month, I'm sick of the fact that given the choice as to whether I eat or smoke, I'll choose the cigarettes every time.
So can someone please tell me why I stood in the middle of Soho Square yesterday after a fairly successful week of abstinence, inhaling from a fag with a look of such bliss on my face you'd have thought I was getting the blow job of my life?
I had my first cigarette at the age of eleven. After mercilessly baiting my father for as long as I can remember about wanting to smoke like him, he sat in front of me, lit a cigarette and told me to finish the whole one in front of him.
So that's exactly what I did. Perhaps I had been fortified from passive smoking, perhaps my natural stubbornness drove me to show old Pa I wasn't going to be beaten, but there was no coughing, no spluttering, not even a gag. I happily puffed away like I had been doing it all my life.
And guess what? I enjoyed it.
I know when I took it up full time at the age of seventeen I was probably trying to fit in, but I felt like smoking suited me. It felt good having a fag in my hand. Smoking appeals to the bad boy image, it smacks of not playing by the rules, of being a bit edgy. Think James Dean, the cast of Grease, Sharon Stone in the interrogation scene from Basic Instinct. You wouldn't take any of them home to meet your mother, but they'd sure as hell give you a good time in the sack.
Fast forward thirteen years and I've decided I'm done with the demon darts. It's not sexy, it stinks. It's not cool to be standing outside in the freezing cold in winter because you're banished by law from every bar and club. Shamefully walking into the off licence at the end of the road with my last £2.50 and buying the cheapest pack of ten on the shelf is just plain sad.
So why do I kick them time and time again just to go and ruin it all for a few minutes of feeling like a "bad boy" again?
Am I so utterly seduced by the marketing that I'm still clinging desperately to the rebelliousness of my teens? Would I really feel that incomplete without cigarettes? Am I so weak that I can't cope with just a few days of feeling a bit uncomfortable while I kill of a few nicotine receptors?
Am I not ready to give up yet, or was I just born to smoke?

It is a natural thing for dogs to scratch themselves.
However it can be a bit worrisome for some pet owners as they are unsure if something is wrong with their pet. Additionally it can be annoying if your dog is scratching other things besides themselves such as furniture, plants, and carpets.
Its possible for even the most obedient puppies to do some scratching from time to time and therefore its important to know why your pet is scratching and what can be done to help stop it.
What An Expert Has To Say About Dog Scratching
Why Do Dogs Scratch Themselves?
Before we can solve the problem of scratching we need to know why dogs compulsively scratch, lick, and chew themselves.
There are a few different reasons why this occurs and it varies from allergies to boredom to parasite infections. Here are a few of the reasons why your dog may be scratching themselves.
Allergies: One of the reasons why your dog is scratching themselves is because of allergies they have. These allergies can be triggered by a number of reasons including environmental factors (mold and pollen) and food. Dogs may develop skin irritation called contact dermatitis as a result of soap and/or pesticides.
Boredom or Anxiety: Just like how humans can get anxiety and bite their nails or twirl their hair it can be very similar to dogs and scratching themselves. When dogs get into uncomfortable situations or when they are very bored at home alone they can possibly resort to scratching themselves and possibly hurting themselves by scratching too often.
Dry Skin: Dry skin can be caused by dry winter weather and also by fatty acid deficiencies. Dogs respond to their dry skin by scratching, bite it, and licking their fur and skin to feel comfort.
Hormonal Imbalances: Superficial skin infections can occur if your dog is putting out too much cortisol or not producing enough thyroid hormones. This may cause your dog to bite, lick, or scratch at red spots on their skin that are bothering them.
Pain: If you notice that your dog is scratching or chewing compulsively at one spot on their body its possible that they may be in pain. It could be something like a thorn in their paw that they are trying to get out because its painful when they walk. Additionally your dog my be chewing or scratching themselves because of arthritis or hip dyspepsia.
Parasites: The most common reason why your dog may be scratching themselves is because of parasites such as ticks, fleas, and mites. Ticks are often visible by the naked eye but mites are microscopic and cannot be seen and therefore by the naked eye you cannot judge if your dog is infected by parasites or not.
When Is Scratching A Real Problem?
Occasionally your dog may quickly scratch themselves and feel better and stop. On the other hand your dog may scratch themselves often and for long periods of time. As well your dog may scratch themselves so profusely that they may even cause their skin to bleed.
If your dog is scratching often, for a long period of time, or hurting themselves it is a good idea to see your veterinarian right away.
On the other hand if your dog scratches themselves once in awhile this can be fine as they may just have and itch like humans occasionally do and its nothing serious.
A Solution To Scratching
If you have determined that the reason why your dog is scratching themselves is because something is bothering them there is a few ways you can treat the issue depending on the reason why they are scratching.
These solutions include:
- Eliminating the parasites
- Changing dog food
- Using medication
- Preventing the behavior
- Addressing boredom and anxiety issues
Eliminating Parasites: in order to do this you can speak with your veterinarian or go online to find prevention medications for your pet. However when your pet already has a parasite you will need to find the source of the parasites and have them removed. This includes cleaning carpets, upholstered furniture, and dog beds by vacuuming them thoroughly on a regular basis. Once everything is clean you will need to make sure your dog and any other pet in the household is cleaned of all parasites by visiting the vet.
Changing Dog Food: if the cause of your dogs scratching is because of allergies it could be caused by the food they are eating. Therefore you should try other dog foods that are hypoallergenic. Once you find a food that they are no longer allergic to it should stop the scratching.
Using Medication: As mentioned above there are preventative medications you can give your dog ahead of time to prevent your dog from getting parasite in the first place. Secondly you can get medication from your veterinarian to help cure current ailments your dog may be experiencing.
Preventing The Behavior: Excessive scratching, biting, and licking can cause serious damage to the quality of your dogs life. Therefore you can prevent the behavior by letting your dog know they shouldn't be scratching because of boredom and anxiety. You will need to train your dog not to scratch for non-serious reasons. Also you can use a preventative collar that stops your pet from scratching certain areas of their body.
Addressing boredom and anxiety issues: If the reason why your dog is scratching, bites, and licking their skin and fur is because of anxiety or boredom it is important to teach your dog not to do this action. You can do this by keeping your dog busy with other activities such as chew toys, bones, and other things that keep your dog busy. Also you need to make your dogs environment a comfortable one with little change so that it doesn't stress your dog out.

Information security used to be largely a big-business problem. It was commonly thought that small businesses, by virtue of their comparatively tiny customer base, didn't provide an attractive enough target to warrant expending extensive resources on security. Unfortunately those days are over, and small businesses have become attractive targets for hackers and intruders precisely because they are perceived to have more vulnerable systems. In fact, according to Symantec, small businesses were subject to hundreds of millions of cyber threats in just the first few months of 2012, and a typical cyber-attack can cost the business close to $200,000 as well as risk the future of the company as a whole.
If your small business processes credit card transactions, you are probably already aware of the requirement to be PCI Compliant, and to process transactions via PCI-compliant equipment and service providers. However, there is more to protecting your business from cyber security threats than just PCI compliance.
To help small businesses create security plans that address their specific business practices, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has launched the Small Biz Cyber Planner 2.0 in conjunction with National Cyber Security Awareness Month. This tool provides a framework upon which small businesses can create and customize their own security policies and procedures.
It contains 12 sections, each addressing a security area: Privacy and Data Security, Scams and Fraud, Network Security, Website Security, Email, Mobile Devices, Employees, Facility Security, Operational Security, Payment Cards, Incident Response and Reporting, and Policy Development, Management. It also includes a Cyber Security Glossary and a Cyber Security Links page. The content was developed by a public-private partnership between government experts from the Department of Homeland Security, the National Cyber Security Alliance and The Chamber of Commerce, and private IT and security companies.
You can download the complete generic planner here. Or you can create a plan specifically for your company by using the Small Biz Cyber Planner tool to customize a cover sheet and select the sections you want to include. For additional help with small business security, also download the FCC Cybersecurity Tip Sheet.
This Small Business Tip from PaySimple offers one more way to secure and optimize your business.

The joints and muscles that make up your TMJ (temporomandibular joint) are responsible for your ability to open and close your mouth, including chewing, swallowing, and speaking. Problems with the bones, discs, ligaments, muscles, and bones that make up your TMJ could result to facial or jaw pain.
Here at our South Brunswick dental practice, we have clients who visit our clinic due to problems associated with a TMJ disorder. By and large, possible causes of the condition include the following:
- sinus problems
- gum disease
- stress and tooth grinding
- injury and tooth dislocation
- arthritis
Treatment for TMJ problems could vary from one person to another, depending on the diagnosis and extent of the problem. A TMJ treatment plan ranges from taking medications to root canal therapy to wearing night guards.

Ok, Ok...I know this is my third post in one day, and I know that that is a BIG blogging no no...especially after being on a blogging hiatus for over a month, but I felt God pushing me to write this, and really, who am I to argue???
What do you do when tragedy strikes?
How do you react?
How do you cope?
We are ALL different, and this is no more apparent than in the way that we deal with a tragedy. Do you sit around, GLUED to the TV or do you try to ignore it...maybe you are somewhere in between.
Today's tragedy in CT has pushed many of us to find out how we cope, whether we wanted to know or not...I am SO blessed to be a Christian, and to be able to fall back on God, and know that he is in charge. My heart goes out to those effected personally by the tragedy, as well as those watching at home who are effected. The latter of those groups are the ones I would like to talk to in this post...
It is VERY important while watching and reading the news to remember your boundaries...What can you handle? It is SO easy to be sucked into news footage, feeling sometimes almost like it is your duty to watch and share in the countries heartbreak. Let me tell you right now, while you may share in the country's heartbreak, you do NOT have to focus your day on it...It is so easy to cross the boundary to obsessing without even realizing it...
I have never shared this, but feel the need to now...My wakeup call for this very fact came on 9/11. I like most of the country, sat glued to the TV, watching the second plane hit, watching the towers fall, mourning with our nation. When I wasn't watching the TV that day, I was listening to the radio...my day and week were consumed by the tragedy...As time went by, the news was less and less on the subject, life resumed, and while we never forgot 9/11, time heals us...
Here is the thing....had I been "normal", that would have been the end of it, but looking back, it was far from the end. Even though I was not personally effected by 9/11, by looking back, I know that I entered a small state of paranoia and depression. In addition to my mild depression, I also became paranoid about the area we live in, the fact that we have multiple military bases in the area, as well as having shipbuilding, AND a port, all make this area prime targets...I became complacent to the fact that if another attack were to happen, it would probably be on our area...It wasn't only that though....I also became paranoid with my personal health...crying myself to sleep multiple nights when I noticed ANYTHING off about my body....elevated heart rate, pain in my head, etc...I was worried I may not make it through the night...(looking back most, if not all of the things that worried me were probably brought on my stress/anxiety)
The point is not to bring back 9/11, or to add stress to anyone local that reads my blog. The point is this...knowing myself, when something like this happens, I know not to run to the TV or stalk the news sites. I know that by reading snippets from news sites, and friends posts, I get the news I need, I still mourn with my country, but without causing myself grief that may push me to cross that invisible line.
All that to say this...When something like this happens, be sure to step back and assess how you are handling things...It's ok to turn the channel, close that tab, etc...If later you want to go back to it, that's fine, but do so with a mindset that you won't let yourself get pulled over the edge. Make yourself be self aware.
No one will think any less of you because you didn't see every newscast, read every heartbreaking account, etc.
You know yourself better than ANYONE else,
do what's right for YOU!

Libraries join Breastfeeding Welcome Here
All of Northern Ireland's 96 public libraries are joining the Public Health Agency's (PHA) Breastfeeding Welcome Here scheme.
The new members will take the number of businesses, council facilities and popular tourist attractions signed up to the scheme to over 600.
Breastfeeding Welcome Here was established to enable businesses to play an active role supporting breastfeeding mums by pledging to make them welcome on their premises and displaying a pink sticker and certificate to show they are members of the scheme. Staff at the organisations are also made aware of the need to be supportive of mothers.
Helen Osborn, Director of Library Services, Libraries NI, said: "I am delighted that Libraries NI has joined the Breastfeeding Welcome Here scheme and our network of libraries will provide welcoming, safe facilities for many mothers and babies in their own communities. The work of libraries in areas such as Rhythm and Rhyme is vital for children and families in providing them with the best possible start in life and this is a natural progression of our work."
A list of members of Breastfeeding Welcome Here can be found on www.NotSorryMums.info where there is also an interactive map so that mums can find their nearest Breastfeeding Welcome Here venue and local Breastfeeding Support Groups.
Valerie Watts, Interim Chief Executive of the PHA, said: "Libraries form the cornerstone of many communities, and are places that have welcomed generations of families. Today's move by all 96 libraries to join the PHA's Breastfeeding Welcome Here scheme reinforces the point that, just like introducing children to libraries to nurture their learning and development, breastfeeding is a key step we can take in a child's early years to enhance their immediate and long-term wellbeing.
"While mums can of course breastfeed anywhere they wish to, the scheme aims to provide welcoming environments and show public support for breastfeeding mums.
"Breastfeeding should be seen as part of everyday life and the more it happens the more normalised it becomes. Breastfeeding helps give babies the best start in life and so showing increased support for breastfeeding mums is really important, as Northern Ireland has the lowest breastfeeding rates in the UK and one of the lowest rates in Europe
"We know that for many mums getting started isn't easy. Information and support is essential, both before baby is born and especially in the early days after birth, so that mums can build their confidence and stay with their decision to breastfeed.
"We are delighted that libraries here are playing their part in creating supportive environments for breastfeeding as helping mums feel more comfortable about feeding in public is something that we can all play an active part in."
L-R: Valerie Watts, Interim Chief Executive of the PHA; Steven and Lyndsay Spence with baby Eliza; and Jim O'Hagan, Chief Executive Libraries NI
Notes to editors
- The Department of Health strategy Breastfeeding – A Great Start. A Strategy for Northern Ireland 2013–2023 includes key strategic outcomes which state that: "Supportive environments for breastfeeding exist throughout Northern Ireland" and "Government Departments and statutory bodies recognise the value of breastfeeding".
- Approximately 64% of mothers here start breastfeeding, compared with 83% in England, 74% in Scotland and 71% in Wales. That figure falls to 33% breastfeeding at six weeks and 16% at six months.

I Want To Repent But …
Muhammad Saleh al-Munajjid | Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 35 | Size: 1 MB
With the passage of the time it is becoming clearer that the modern age is not simply suffering from a moral crisis but of total confusion about what is right what is wrong. The tragedy is not that the finer points go unappreciated but that the world has come to question the validity of even the age-old truths. This has left young men and women totally confused about their course of action. Injustices are multiplying at the great pace and threaten to explode any moment into a fire-ball of conflicts that may engulf the whole world. In such circumstances this book is a welcome addition. It offers penitent useful guidelines and dwell upon those aspects of repentance that are the very specialty of Islam.

New Delhi: The Faculty Association of All India Institute of Medical Sciences has written to the institute director demanding that new recruitment for assistant professors should be put on hold.
AIIMS had recently published advertisements for hiring 118 doctors, assistant professor level, for which interviews are going to be held in August. The association said it is needless because there is not enough office space and residential facility to accommodate them.
Dr C S Bal, faculty association president, told TOI the demand is being made in view of the fact that at least 14 doctors have resigned in the last two years due to lack of work, office space and other logistical problems.
"In the last two years, more than 250 people have been hired without focusing on the demarcating work, or office space and even residential facilities," he added.
As per the list shared by AIIMS faculty members, two doctors each - in the rank of assistant professor - have resigned from oncology, medicine and anesthesia divisions of the hospital. The rest belong to dermatology, psychiatry, surgical oncology, microbiology, radiotherapy, urology and pediatrics departments.
But senior officials in the AIIMS administration claimed that new appointment are needed in view of the increased patient load.
"We also need to have extra strength to ensure the faculty gets time for academic work and research. The administration as well as the health ministry are working together to build super-specialty blocks, for example the mother and child centre, to provide more office space," said an official.
He added, "Also, the detailed project report for building multi-storey buildings in Ayurvigyan Nagar and Western Campus has been approved. It will ensure at least 1,000 more dwelling for doctors and other staff of the hospital."

They were happily in the background welcoming guests with their cocktail and chatting to everyone. All commented on how great a time they had and what a superb idea. We were lucky enough to have it all set up in the garden as weather was good. The guys never rushed us but kept the fun and frolics flowing and making sure my pregnant guests were involved. I am thoroughly impressed. Even when packing away we weren't hurried to drink our drinks and they cleared up and dismantled the bars with no fuss without interrupting the party atmosphere. I would definitely recommend you to anyone wanting something a bit different, just as a way to kick start your pre-dinner drinks. I am already deciding when to have Barz8 back. Thank you all once again very professional and unique service.

Why do we love Tim Holtz? One reason is he comes up with techniques that create the look we love. And this technique and this look is fabulous. Easy to achieve and easy to alter to fit YOUR style!
This weeks challenge is Painted Industrial on page 46 of Compendium of Curiosities III. Rich, elegant and grungy all in one technique, can you believe it? Here's my offering.
I did a card this week featuring a vintage photo. I love the way this technique frames and makes the sepia elements pop.
The embossed metal areas are polished to the degree that makes you happy. I used a couple of colors, Chipped Saphire and Mustard Seed, my current favorite duo.
I have this thing lately where I think the word "collections" needs butterflies. So they appear!
The photo is a picture of my sweet mother when she was a little girl. She was the first child of my grandmother, married at age 27 to my grandfather when he was 47. He was a widower with grown children. My mother was born into a pretty adult world with a father nearly 50, adult sibilings and a mother who, by the standards of the day, married very late. She's a nurturing soul to this day and seeing her cradle this kitty is in keeping with the mother and the mother's heart I know.
The photo is an image transfer onto Sticky Back Canvas. I absolutely love doing this for a focal point that has a unique texture in its context, but is still very earthy and organic. You can see a video tutorial to do this on my website here or from Claudine Hellmuth here, who taught me.
If this is your first time to check out CC3C, start by getting educated on the procedure from Linda Ledbetter's blog. There is much to be gained, Grasshopper. You have a chance to win a $50 gift certificate from Inspiration Emporium. Seriously, you can select a LOT of Tim Holtziness for fifty bucks. AND!!! AND Tim has donated a ridiculous amount of signature product for you to go creative crazy with. A vote for your art from the Curiosity Crew will win you this sweet prize. See all the deets on Linda's blog, she explains better than I ever could!
Good luck, CC3Cers. Go forth and create!

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
We know it's been around a while, but we still love it and kind of think it's approaching "classic" territory — the YSL Muse. We particularly like it in this lovely gray, currently available at Bluefly. The soft leather… the shoulder straps that sit comfortably… the bag big enough for all of your business papers… it's just a great bag. This gray one is now $1,516 (was $1,895). Yves Saint Laurent Iron Pebble Muse Tote
If you've recently seen a great work piece you'd like to recommend to the readers, please e-mail [email protected] with "TPS" in the subject line.
