The Financial Markets Lawyers Group advises on legal issues relevant to over-the-counter foreign exchange and other financial markets.
The FMLG is comprised of lawyers who support foreign exchange and other financial markets trading in leading worldwide financial institutions. We are sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Our informal origins date back to the late 1980s, when a group of lawyers jointly developed a model master netting agreement for foreign exchange trading in the United States.
Today we continue to draft new trade documentation in addition to best practice recommendations, legal briefs, comment letters, and policy papers relating to OTC market developments. We advise the FXC on many of its initiatives and also pursue our own capital markets initiatives.
We maintain links to OTC industry associations and official institutions worldwide as part of its goal to maintain channels of communication and cooperation on issues that are important to the foreign exchange and OTC markets. Among the groups with which we enjoy close ties are EMTA, Inc., the International Swaps and Derivatives Association in the United States, the European Financial Markets Lawyers Group sponsored by the European Central Bank, the Financial Markets Law Committee and the Foreign Exchange Joint Standing Committee sponsored by the Bank of England, and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA).
Our recent accomplishments include the first industry foreign exchange master give-up agreement and co-sponsorship of the Master Confirmation Agreement for non-deliverable FX forward transactions and the 1998 FX and Currency Option Definitions. FMLG members have participated in a number of global initiatives, including the Global Documentation Steering Committee, the Hague Convention on collateral accounts, and industry preparation for Y2K and the conversion to the euro.

Jake Johnson
Rounding out the weekend with a trophy-filled evening, the 2015 Critics' Choice Television Awards kicked off on Sunday night (May 31).
This year, Cat Deely handled the hosting duties as the event celebrated the year's most noteworthy shows and actors across a whopping 25 categories in total.
Kicking off the weekend a little early, the cast of "Let's Be Cops" attended the Hollywood premiere on Thursday evening (August 7).
"Vampire Diaries" dame Nina Dobrev wowed the crowd at the ArcLight Hollywood with her orange, black and gold patterned minidress as she clowned around on the red carpet.
The buddy cop genre has definitely produced some amazing flicks and "Let's Be Cops" could very well be the next winner.
In the new red band trailer, Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr show off their on-screen chemistry in the tradition of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover and Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas.
Giving fans another look at its upcoming flick, 20th Century Fox released a brand new trailer for "Let's Be Cops" on Thursday (April 24).
The comedy starring Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. focuses on two pals after they decide to masquerade around town as police officers.
Celebrating all things film, a number of Hollywood A-listers hit up CinemaCon's 2014 20th Century Fox Red Carpet event in Las Vegas on Thursday (March 27).
Heating up Caesar's Palace, "The Other Woman's" Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann brought their smiles to the party and posed for a few photos together before heading inside.
They are already bringing hilarious action to "New Girl" on Tuesday nights, and now Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. hit the big screen in their new flick, "Let's Be Cops."
Directed by Luke Greenfield, the comedy focuses on two pals after they decide to masquerade around town as police officers.
Following up the Golden Globes with yet another celebrity-laden event, the 2014 FOX All-Star Party hit the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, California on Monday night (January 13).
"American Idol" judges Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban showed up to plug the forthcoming season of their uber-popular talent show.
Stepping out for some promotional duties, Olivia Wilde showed up at the Hollywood premiere of her new film "Drinking Buddies" on Thursday night (August 15).
Joined by her fiancé Jason Sudeikis (who flew back from London where he's been plugging "We're the Millers"), the "House" stunner hammed it up for the paparazzi outside the ArcLight Cinemas.
It's always fun to gather a bunch of celebrities together for a snazzy soiree, and last night (August 1) the FOX All-Star Party was the place to be.
"New Girl" stars Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, and Lamorne Morris all came out for the affair, having a blast as they posed for photos.
When two couples, multiple attractions and plenty of booze combine there are sure to be a number of conflicts.
That's the premise for the upcoming Magnolia Pictures flick "Drinking Buddies" and its trailer just hit the web today (June 20).

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my current project. I'm converting a pair of my gelcoat fiberglass Jango gauntlets into a pair of wearable ROTJ gauntlets for my latest Boba acquisition. First thing I did was scratch build a keypad area from 1/8" sheet styrene that could be added to the left gauntlet. Once that was done, I mold and casted it in the same material as the gauntlets. I then attached it with CA glue and applied a layer of fiberglass cloth and resin to the underside for strength. I just finished spraying a coat of Dupli-Color burgandy on them to seal and smooth out the areas where body filler has been used so far. There's still a lot of work to do but here's how they look as of right now.
Any contructive critism is greatly appreciated.

Okay. Here's a little exercise for you women readers. Go to a word processor and write about something that really gets your goat. Doesn't matter what. Racism, sexism, So You Think You Can Dance – something you care about. Write at least two sentences. Write casually, not formally or academically – like you would in conversation with a friend, or on your blog. Make sure you come to a conclusion or give your ideas on a subject.
Seriously. Go do it.
Finished yet? No? I'll give you another second.
Alright, awesome. Thanks for bearing with me. Here's what I wrote, on the thing that's currently irking me (lack of wi-fi in my location):
This is a damn college campus. Why isn't there some blanket wi-fi? I think that the entire campus should be able to access the net on their laptops as well as they could at any coffee shop.Look at your sentences. Look at my sentences. Specifically, look at the way we begin our sentences.
Did you say your idea outright? Or did you couch your suggestion – as I did – in "I think"? If not "I think", what about "I feel" or "I believe"?
When I was writing above, why didn't I just state:
The entire campus should be able to access the net on their laptops as well as they could at any coffee shop."Should" implies that this is an argument and a suggestion, making the necessary linguistic distinction between fact ("This is a damn college campus") and proposal ("The entire campus should have wi-fi"). So why do I further explain that this is just MY thought, just MY suggestion, just MY little idea by starting with "I think"?
One of the ways the kyriarchy/patriarchy works its way into our language is through the way we structure our sentences and frame even our most valid and strongly held beliefs. Isms integrate themselves into speech so that even people who dedicate their lives to fighting oppression use oppressive language, whether it comes from ignorance or lack of vigilance. Just the other day, I said that a racist comment on Feministing was "lame" in a private conversation. I immediately caught myself, but still.
In well-developed and generally applicable arguments – not about your personal comfort level, but rather about larger issues – couching opinions in "I think" and "I believe" is a way to distance ourselves from our argument. It's almost a form of apology, and it's a way to defuse or deflect the criticism that will inevitably come from agents of normativity. Instead of making the argument forcefully and demanding that people listen to my ideas, I'm saying "this is just little old me, but…"
There can be benefits to saying "I think" or "For me", especially in one-on-one arguments, or reflective, less developed arguments. When you're trying to put the person you're arguing with at ease (as I usually try to do in this space), it's helpful to frame ideas in this way and not say "THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST THINK." It can make your thoughts less threatening and more persuasive.
But when making a forceful argument to someone who's just not listening, or to a general audience, feminist shouldn't shy away from being threatening. That's what we're here to do – to threaten the systems of oppression and dismantle the kyriarchy.
It's not like I'm doing this intentionally, or you're doing it intentionally – it just slips out. It's how I've been taught and trained to write my arguments and frame my thoughts.
Readers who are writers and bloggers, I've got a challenge for you next week: Next time you're making an argument forcefully, in a blog post, email, or comment, add an extra step to your editing. Go through your sentences and see how they begin. How many begin with "I think"? "I believe"? Try taking a few out – it won't hurt – and read your argument again. Convinced?
If you did the exercise above, post your results in the comments!

The Environmental science minor offers students the opportunity to explore environmental issues from a broad multidisciplinary perspective toward a profound and integrative view of human-environment interactions.
The cross-discipline foundation of the Environmental Studies minor is a good complement to any major, from education, business, and communications to sociology, psychology, history, creative writing, global studies, the arts, and applied therapies. Students combine courses from the natural sciences, social science, and humanities, and they have many opportunities for significant field-based learning experiences. The Environmental Studies minor is a good choice for anyone whose career choices involve decisions around environmental issues, or who wants broader and deeper knowledge of these issues.
Review the requirements for a Minor in Environmental Studies.
This course covers the basic topics in inorganic and organic chemistry including: atomic structure, periodic relationships, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, and molecular structures. The topics are developed further by considering practical examples such as: air and water pollution, pesticides, food additives, forensic science, pharmaceuticals, and energy technologies. The impact of each on public policy and human health is discussed. A student project is required. This course meets for four hours weekly in order to integrate laboratory experiences.
In this course students will explore the fundamental process of biological evolution and the rise in life's variation on Earth through time. Through textbook readings and discussions, journal articles, films, hands-on activities, and field excursions, students will examine the processes of natural selection, adaptation, and speciation. Students will then explore the changes in life on Earth from its early origins in a reducing atmosphere to the diversification of prokaryotes; the symbiotic origins of eukaryotes; and the origin and diversification of animals, fungi, and plants. The course will end with a study of human evolution.

Internally they are completely different guns.
You can get the Tactical in different calibers if that appeals to you, but in .45 the Mk23 will be softer shooting. I like mine. Is it worth a grand? To me, yeah, it is, but for purely objective reasons. It's a Mark 23!!! LOL

Nah, I got a face shield that FettPride hooked me up with. As for paints, I order everything from Humbrol USA (Hornby). They are always timely and great!
Nah, I got a face shield that FettPride hooked me up with. As for paints, I order everything from Humbrol USA (Hornby). They are always timely and great!
So, I'm looking through the Hornby site. I'm a little confused on the colors. There are soooo many. I know that most of the paints will probably be Matt, but there are different shades with the same number but they have an alpha prefix?
I'm using this thread as a reference for numbers
You can also look at Jayvees thread, he lists the name of the colors as well. I have not used anything with an alpha prefix. If it says a number, that's what you go with. Silver 11 for example.
I would think the alpha prefix may be the acrylics, you want to use enamels or that's what my colour list refers to...
Here's an example of a paint I'm referring to, under Enamel Paints -> Enamel Matt Paints AA1496 - Shade 28 - Camo Grey
Should I avoid venturing into the Matt section? Some of the numbers listed in the paint thread do not show up elsewhere.
Enamel Paints | Hornby America
OK, I see what you mean, slightly misleading. Stay in the matt section and the numbers in my list refer to the shade number in your link...
Thanks very much.
Another question though, where you have listed Green 76+96, I can only find Green 76, while the 96 only brings up RAF Blue? Is that correct? If so, I think it would be in my best interest to just focus on the numbers rather than the names of the colors.

That's correct, mix 1:1 ratio and deaden with a few drops of black 33...
Any tips on getting the visor inside all even and level? I'm having an OCD moment... I was looking at some of superjedi's threads and the inner visor looks pristine.
I used a couple different files and sandpaper blocks (the ones that are foam inside from Home Depot). It took quite awhile, and it am sure I will need to adjust it when I mount the visor permanently, but it worked
Humbrol! Good choice. They are excellent paints.
Just finished ordering the rest of the paints and some thinner tonight. Hope they get here soon.
Got a question though, when I'm installing the visor and bringing the mandibles inward to correct for the release of pressure from the mold (the way they bend outward a little bit)... uh... how exactly do I do this? I'm going to be using hot glue, as I'm not sure I trust the 2 part epoxy for anything other than the ear screws.
Also, when I insert the visor into the helmet, there is quite a large gap between the visor and the visor slot itself.
Never mind that last part about the gap... I forgot to conform the visor to the helmet with the heat gun...

Any tips on shaping the visor? Low heat I'm assuming, do I just stuff it in there after a few passes with the heat gun? I've even tried high heat and I can not seem to get the **** thing to shape!
Last edited by Raizo Fett; Dec 18, 2013 at 2:10 PM.
What type of visor are you using? A pre-formed one?
Is the curve of the visor greater or less than the curve of the helmet?
What I mean is, does it touch in the center of the helmet's "forehead"
and leave gaps at the outside edges? Or does it touch at the edges
of the horizontal part of the slot and leave a gap in the center?
This is how it currently sits. The eye part fits just fine, with minimal gap, its mainly the vertical part that's off now.
It seems as though I'll have to trim the visor down, but I'm afraid that if I do attempt to, it will crack or mar in some places. Again heating it up just makes to super hot and not very pliable, to the point where I'm afraid the heat would actually warp the helmet... Not too sure how much it can handle.
It's the extended T-visor from t-visor.com
Last edited by Raizo Fett; Dec 18, 2013 at 4:17 PM.
Not sure what those visors are made of, but it appears that the center vertical
section is a little too wide. If it were me, I'd trim it narrower.
In the first pic you posted, I can see thru the visor enough to see that there's a
good amount of overlap on the vertical section. You'd certainly have some room
to trim it.
Went ahead and trimmed it a little bit narrower. Using masking tape as a guideline, it worked out very well, just need to try and shape the eye slot portion of the visor a little bit more then I'll mask it completely and get everything prepped for paint.
So everything along the top fits just fine, is a small gap on the sides okay?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
Looks great! That small gap down the sides is very difficult to get rid of.
Here's a hint to "disguise" that small gap:
When you get done painting the helmet exterior, take some of the color
that you use on the mandibles and paint it on the interior, right along the
edge of the cutout (with a paint brush). About a 1 inch strip or so should be fine.
That way if any of the gap is slightly noticeable, it's a dark color.
Thanks for the tip! Glad to hear it looks okay too :P

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:35pm
ERIE, Pa. – The fifth-ranked Mercyhurst College men's lacrosse team stretched its winning streak to four games with a 16-8 victory over No. 3 Dowling Saturday afternoon in East Coast Conference action.
In a matchup between two of the top teams in country, Mercyhurst (7-1, 5-1 ECC) turned aside an early surge by the Golden Lions, who jumped out to a 2-0 lead on their first two shots, with four straight before going into halftime with a 9-6 lead.
Seniors Andy Winslow and Kevin Coholan anchored the Lakers by producing three goals and setting up another in the first quarter.
After Winslow cut the deficit to one, at 2-1, following a two-goal spurt by Dowling's Vito DeMola, Coholan struck on a pair of man-up opportunities to put the Lakers in front with 4:47 to play. Junior Ian Wild then stretched the lead to two thanks to an assist from Winslow at the 3:13 mark, and juniorKyle Kallay made it a 5-3 game at 1:38.
Dowling gained some momentum in the second as the Golden Lions opened the stanza on a 3-2 roll to make it a 7-6 game. However, strikes from sophomore Zac Reid and senior Tim Winslow turned a one-goal game into a three-goal advantage for the home team going into the break.
Mercyhurst controlled play in the opening half and would continue to in the second. After DeMola netted his team-leading third of the game at the 13:24 mark, the Lakers put together a time consuming five-goal run that took both teams into the fourth quarter with a 14-7 score in favor of the Lakers showing on the scoreboard.
The Golden Lions broke up the streak with their last goal of the game, a tally by Michael Brennen at 8:34, before Wild and freshman Brady Heseltinefound the back of the net at 6:57 and 5:00.
Mercyhurst held the upper hand in every statistical category for the game including shots (32-23), ground balls (37-20) and faceoffs (14-27), and committed four less turnovers than its opponent (24-20).
Nine different players contributed scores, with Coholan leading the way with a four-goal, one-assist performance. Scheetz finished with two goals and two assists, while Kallay and Andy Winslow both added two goals and a helper. Rice recorded three points as well with a goal and two assists, and Reid, Heseltine and Tim Winslow added one score each.
Senior Zach Nash earned the team's first win over an opponent ranked higher than them since defeating No. 3 New York Tech 6-5 on May 2, 2009 with six saves.
The Lakers will look to continue their winning ways when they face second-ranked C.W. Post on Saturday, Apr. 9 in Brookville, N.Y.

By Nick Ames in Kharkiv
Per Mertesacker has praised Lukas Podolski's performance for Germany against the Netherlands and assures Arsenal fans that the forward has plenty more to offer.
Podolski, who will officially join the Gunners at the end of the month, spent much of the match helping to combat the threat of Arjen Robben down Germany's left side. He stuck to his task manfully, but Mertesacker expects him to showcase his more familiar attacking spark when he arrives at Emirates Stadium.
"Defensively it was a great game from Lukas," he told Arsenal.com after his side's 2-1 win.
"He had to cover for Philippe Lahm, with Arjen Robben on his flank, and he did it very well. Especially in the first half, he covered him all the time and it was two against one on Robben.
"I think that was more important than his attacking qualities today. But every Arsenal fan will soon see what he can do offensively."
Another Arsenal forward had better fortune in front of goal, only to leave the Metalist Stadium disappointed. Robin van Persie cracked home a fine consolation goal for the Dutch, and before the match he and Mertesacker could be seen sharing an embrace and a chat on the sidelines.
"The goal wasn't enough for Holland, and that's good for us," said Per.
"But our relationship is very good, very respectful, and it was nice to see him – we had a good conversation. He's fit and I'm going to be 100 per cent soon, so it will be great to join up again for pre-season at Arsenal."

Recently, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas came to The Commonwealth Club to tell an Inforum audience about his decision to announce publicly that he was an undocumented immigrant. Having been brought to the United States with improper papers when he was a child, Vargas didn't even learn that he wasn't here legally until he tried to get a driver's license.
Today, the Obama administration announced that it would not seek deportation of immigrants such as Vargas who had been brought here as children. Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) has long made the argument that "these young people should not be punished for their parents' mistakes." The Obama administration has apparently agreed.
It is not yet known how this will affect Vargas' case specifically, but he did tweet after the announcement that he was not currently in deportation proceedings, and then later added "Nothing like seeing the people make @BarackObama change his immigration policy."
Watch the video of Vargas' Club program, in which he and his former boss, the San Francisco Chronicle's Phil Bronstein, talk both personal and public policy. Or you can listen to the podcast of the event.

There is a sleep disorder that affects the legs. It is widely known as "restless leg syndrome", known as RLS, a sleep disorder that afflicts more than 15 percent of adults. Interestingly, it affects more women than men and the incidence of restless leg syndrome increases with age. Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis and varicose veins, also increase the risk of developing restless leg syndrome.
So what is this sleep disorder all about? Basically, it is characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the lower legs, knees and occasionally the arms. Sometimes painful sensations accompany the urge to move. People that suffer from this sleep disorder describe the feelings and sensations in different ways. Many describe a tingling, itching or pulling sensation. Still others say it feels prickly or burns. Some feel as if they have worms crawling under their skin.
Night Time Leg Calm Wellness Oil from Nature's Inventory was created to help those suffering from restless leg syndrome. The formula works by harnessing the power of nature in reducing pain and inflammation while working with the central nervous system. While many find it hard to understand how natural formulas can offer such relief, they have been pleased with the results and product's effectiveness.
If you are not completely satisfied for any reason, simply return your bottle and you will be fully refunded! Plus, Night Time Leg Calm is Certified Organic!
• Certified Vegan

Customers' Reviews on Night Time Leg Calm Wellness Oil :
My Sleep Disorder doctor told me only sleeping pills would work for me for my Restless Leg Syndrome. We tried diet changes etc with no luck. I've taken sleeping pills every night for years. I tried Night Time Leg Calm with 1/2 dose of sleeping pill and it worked! Then I dropped the sleeping pill completely and just used Leg Calm and that worked too! Now I'm not tired during the day. Next I'm going to try the Blood Pressure oils. Thanks so much. I'm a believer now.
I am another satisfied customer of your Restless Legs cure you call Night Time Leg Calm. I have suffered for over 14 years with an ever worsening case of restless legs. Of course, it started infrequent and mild and progressed over the years to very painful, every night. My MD tried to help with a variety of medications over the years. I began with Quinine, on to Klonopin, various antidepressants, Sinemet, Neurontin, and the most I could ever count on was four to five hours of sleep, a medicated sleep. I have tried chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, hot baths, heating pads, homeopathic pills, herbs and on and on.

The last third of this liquid was too strong to use, it numbs your lips and tongue. Maybe shaking it up before each squirt would help. It looks very similar to PerioScript, but it's not like it at all.

No es un enjuague bucal
Posted by artemisa on Nov 06, 2014 | Verified Purchase
Compré este producto pensando que era eso, un enjuage bucal. Pues no, resulta que es (según pone en el paquete) para usarlo con las máquinas de limpieza con agua a presión, porque está muy muy concentrado. Da la casualidad de que en casa tenemos una máquina de esas, pero la verdad es que no la usamos mucho. Se diluye una pequeña cantidad de producto en el depósito de agua y con eso se hace la limpieza, no lo he probado a usar de ninguna otra forma (sólo esta, que es la recomendada). El producto en sí no es malo, tiene un sabor refrescante. La pega que le pongo es que en nuestro caso, esta limpieza la hacemos muy de vez en cuando y por tanto, uso muy poco el producto

I just wanted to take the time to wish everyone here a safe and Merry Christmas.
I know that we've all had a trying year with the state of the economy and decline of the job market, some of us have been hit really hard. I try to look on the up-side, especially today. I think to some extent we've all been forced to remember to true meaning and spirit of Christmas and Hanukkah.
Not the glitz and glam, the shopping, the gifts, or the lights. But what the Holidays are truly about.... Family and friends, the ones we love and the ones who truly love us back. Those who have less, and need even more.
Let us all embrace the ones who matter most. Be willing to give without expecting, and receive the generosity of others without shame, but rather marked appreciation (always the hardest one for me).
I wish all of you the best that life has to offer, and a year filled with gentle slopes with the wind following you wherever your road takes you.
I consider you all friends, brothers, and sisters in Fett-dome.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!!!

Buffalo signs Enroth to multi-year deal
Buffalo Sabres re-sign G Enroth to multiyear deal
'Enroth replaced Patrick Lalime(notes) as the Sabres' backup in the final half of last season. He was particularly effective filling in for an injured Miller late in the season, when he went 3-0-1 over five games to help the Sabres clinch a playoff berth.'
Enroth agrees to to terms on multi-year deal
'Enroth appeared in 14 games during five separate recalls for the Sabres last season, compiling a 2.73 goals against average and a 9-2-2 record. He recorded his first NHL win and first career shutout in 2010-11 after appearing in just one game during the 2009-10 season.'
Thursday's Ottawa Coverage
A legacy open to interpretation (Ottawa Citizen)
Former Sen Lalime retires (Ottawa Sun)
The following are rough English translations from French languauge sources:
Patrick Lalime returns to the Senators (Le Droit)
P. Lalime retires and joins RDS (RDS.ca)
Sabres tickets going faster than ever
'"We anticipate this year's Mini-Packs will sell out quickly," said John Sinclair, the vice president of ticket operations and services. "Those individuals that are currently members of the Blue & Gold Club will have the first opportunity to purchase tickets, as well as individuals who purchased Mini-Packs last season. At that point, it will move to the general public."'
Goaltender Patrick Lalime retires from NHL
'He has a career 2.58 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage. He also played for Chicago, St. Louis and Pittsburgh.'
Lalime retiring to become TV analyst
Goaltender Patrick Lalime, who played the last three years for the Buffalo Sabres, is exchanging his pads for a microphone as he will become an analyst on Ottawa Senators television broadcasts, according to a report on the RDS radio website Wednesday.'

Dear Readers, please excuse this brief diversion from today's Bills' news. Bucky Gleason wrote a beautiful piece about my mother who passed away on Sunday. She was a fixture in WNY Harness Racing for over 40 years and I am very thankful to Bucky and the Buffalo News for acknowledging her contributions and recognizing our loss. Thank you – Scott.
Matt Ellis re-signs with Buffalo Sabres
'"I'd be lying if I said I didn't look around," Ellis said. "But I'm really ecstatic about being back in the Sabres family at a time when there's a lot of excitement with Terry (Pegula) taking over (as owner)."'
Sabres sign Sekera before arbitration, also lock up Ellis
'The Sabres now have the NHL's No. 1 payroll, $66,695,357, putting them $2,395,357 over the $64.3 million salary cap, according to capgeek.com. They can exceed the cap by up to 10 percent during the offseason and have until opening night to get under. "I think in all likelihood we'll be a little below the number," Regier said. That means trades, buyouts or assignments to Rochester could be coming. Regier, who has said he would explore trades, said the market is "quiet" right now. "There are still a number of players out there that teams are trying to assess their situations and the unrestricted market," Regier said.'
Four more years of blue and gold for Sekera
'"The conversation with Allan Walsh, his agent, has always been focused on getting a deal done," Regier said. "I think the contract actually reflects the case that he had in arbitration. Statistically, for the points that he had, he was going to do very well in arbitration. What this provided us with was a longer-term contract at what we felt were very good numbers and the belief that he would step up and not only provide the consistency, but I think we'll see a lot of growth in him as well."'
Sabres grant multi-year deals to Sekera, Ellis
'Ellis, 27, failed to record a point in 14 games with the Sabres last year. He has posted 13 goals and 33 points in 201 career games with Detroit, Los Angeles and Buffalo since 2006.'
Sabres re-sign Sekera, Ellis to multiyear deals
'Sekera is an offensive-minded player who is expected to have received a raise over the $1.25 million he made last year. He has four-plus years of NHL experience and had a career-best 29 points (three goals, 26 assists) in 76 games last season.'
Sekera and Ellis sign multi-year deals
'Buffalo Sabres GM Darcy Regier today announced that defenseman Andrej Sekera and forward Matt Ellis have each agreed to multi-year contracts.'
Sabres prospect Schiestel returning to form
'"You take two steps forward, one step back," Schiestel said. "It's just a long process that you have to be patient with. Sometimes it's hard. I like to skate. I'm a skating defenseman, so when I do these tests, and I'm usually good at it, and now all of sudden it's a little bit of a struggle right now. It's pretty frustrating."'

Mass. Platers Can Get $30,000 Incentive Grant
Money from TURI is for process conversion from n‐propyl bromide to aqueous for industrial parts cleaning
The University of Massachusetts' Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) is offering an incentive grant of up to $30,000 to help offset the cost for a manufacturer to switch from an nPB industrial parts cleaning process to aqueous cleaning. This grant is available to any interested Massachusetts company. Companies that have worked with the TURI Cleaning Lab to identify feasible aqueous cleaning solutions will be given special consideration.
As of 2010, Massachusetts' facilities in sectors regulated by the Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA) with ten or more employees are subject to reporting, planning and fee requirements if they use 10,000 pounds or more of nPB annually.
N‐propyl bromide (nPB) is a solvent used in vapor degreasing and metal parts cleaning. Use of nPB has increased as an alternative for solvents like methylene chloride, perchloroethylene (perc), and trichloroethylene (TCE) that have become more strictly regulated.
This trend is of concern as evidence emerges linking nPB to a range of significant human health hazards. In addition, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies nPB as a volatile organic compound (VOC).
Guidelines for grant application include:
- --The aqueous system must be purchased and in use within the grant period (July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015)
- --Businesses receiving the grant must gather data for use in developing a TURI case study
- --The grantee must be willing to conduct on‐site demonstrations of the new process and share information about aspects of the conversion that contributed to its success
Businesses can apply for the grant by submitting a short letter of intent. Letters of intent to apply for this incentive grant are due by June 30, 2014. Letters of intent and/or questions about this grant opportunity, or other grants available to Massachusetts businesses from TURI, can be directed to:
Pam Eliason, Industry Research Program Manager
Toxics Use Reduction Institute
University of Massachusetts Lowell
600 Suffolk Street, Suite 501
Lowell, MA 01854

I think the most tragic thing about the comments, and a twist on the actual design concept, is the fact that both Mexicians & Canadians are "Americans".... (it also might skew the numbers if you take it in to account).
In some parts of the Central America ie Guatemala they will argue with you if your stupid enough to call yourself an "American". In Guatemala the name for a United States citizen equates to "United Statesian".

I've never disguised myself as a Canadian! ;-)
People in Japan think I'm Brazilian. No joke.
This is very impressive. Some people may not think of the Sasquatch when they see this dwg and not vote, but do not let that discourage you. I hope to see more art from you, whether in this derby or future ones.

The Bridge between Detroit and Windsor has the distinction of being the one place where you can cross into Canada going south (and of course cross into the US going north).
It's also the busiest US/Canada border point. Not just of Michigan's three, but of the entire border. (I grew up within an hour drive of the Ambassador Bridge and Tunnel)

Not the biggest fan of pink but having it on the red helps. Hope this one at least makes The Fog.
Thats some fantastic line work, but thats also a lot of brown...

SarlaccBitts - roger that pic request;)
Though I will warn you, she is having computer problems and is in the middle of being snowed under, so if you want to send her specific questions I would wait till mid-April at the earliest.
Too cool. I love the RC books, and the game. Scorch is my fav. Skirata is definitely the father figure to his "boys".
That is a sweet paint job on that helmet!
Thanks for the link Wookiegunner!
I like it but there are some more details to be added for accuracy IMO.
Very cool!
Anyone doing a Hokan suit?
I like Darman, Niner, Atin and Fi's squad. I don't know if this is true or not, yet I think Hokan has a red helmet with purple trim.
Hokan has red with grey trim.
Oh yeah. I had it mixed up
there's a pic of Skirata's armor in the new SW Insider(#87)....it looks pretty cool...............granted it's just from the chest up
Oya! ner vod!..............
yelp! seen it! very cool He looks like Ed Harris.
back atcha vod!
I'd love to see a Skirata! That would be awesome. Any progress on the suit yet?
And anyone have a link or something to this picture? I've only seen the one where he's wearing his leather jacket.
Progress is coming along and pics will be coming as well.
Just hang on a little longer. Skirata will reveal him self soon:-)
I went to the store today, looked through the SW Insider, and saw that pic of Skirata in armor. Awesome! Now I definatly can't wait to see progress on this!
WOW! That's a cool paintjob!
Thats a nice version. But theres a few things i'm adding to mine that will make it more book accurate:)
Stay tuned!
Nice mod for the two piece Jango! How did you attach the two parts and hide the crack?
hey has this link dropped off? I am doing my own skirata armor and suit and was taking tips. Granted I am sure the 501st wouldn't like it due to not having 3 references but hey I wann a do it anyway
Wow, so I'm not the only one doing Kal'buir.
Who's gonna be the one to finish first?
Complete with necassary weapons etc...
You are because I am just finishing a fairly accurate ESB fett and have not even given a decent start to the costume yet ( all I have is the black flight suit and the hair cut) . I figure I will star casing the goodwills for a brown leather jacket I can turn into the vest. Doing the armor is a cakewalk because that and jet pcks come fairly easy for me. I figure I will start to use snaps on this armor though. First I have to sell off all the peices I was working on for my ROTJ fett. How far are you?
From what I've read elsewhere Skirata doesn't use a JP, so that's one less thing to worry about.
I have the Charcoal flightsuit, I've painted up the armour, almost finished the bucket, I'm just making the flak vest at the moment.
what are you using for a flak vest? and what about guants? I have the knife Idea down. 3 bladed and throwable....as a martial artist That describes a variant of the Sai. I saw one locally in a store it was a mini ( as apposed to what I use to practice with , which couldn't possibly be hidden in a sleeve) and the tines were very close to bladed if not actially bladed.

Cardiac rehabilitation — also called cardiac rehab — is a customized outpatient program of exercise and education. Cardiac rehabilitation is designed to help you recover from a heart attack, other forms of heart disease or surgery to treat heart disease.
Cardiac rehabilitation is often divided into phases that involve monitored exercise, nutritional counseling, emotional support, and support and education about lifestyle changes to reduce your risks of heart problems. The goals of cardiac rehabilitation are to establish an individualized plan to help you regain strength, to prevent your condition from worsening, to reduce your risk of future heart problems, and to improve your health and quality of life.
Cardiac rehabilitation programs increase your chances of survival. Both the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology recommend cardiac rehabilitation programs.
Cardiac rehabilitation is an option for people with many forms of heart disease. In particular, you may benefit from cardiac rehabilitation if your medical history includes:
Don't let your age hold you back from joining a cardiac rehabilitation program. People of all ages can benefit from cardiac rehabilitation.
Cardiac rehabilitation isn't appropriate for everyone who has had heart disease. Your health care team will evaluate your health, including reviewing your medical history, conducting a physical examination and performing tests, to make sure you're ready to start a cardiac rehabilitation program.
Rarely, some people suffer injuries, such as strained muscles or sprains, while exercising as a part of cardiac rehabilitation. Your health care team will carefully monitor you while you exercise to lower this risk and will teach you how to avoid injuries when you exercise on your own.
If you've had a heart attack or heart surgery or if you have another heart condition, ask your doctor about joining a cardiac rehabilitation program. Insurance and Medicare often cover the costs of cardiac rehabilitation.
Cardiac rehabilitation can begin while you're still in the hospital and continue with monitored programs in an outpatient setting until home-based maintenance programs can be safely followed. Otherwise, it may start a few weeks after dismissal from the hospital, particularly after a heart attack or heart surgery.
The first stages of most cardiac rehabilitation programs last about three to six months. During that time, you'll work with a team of health care professionals, including cardiologists, nurse educators, dietitians, exercise rehabilitation specialists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists.
Medical evaluation. Initial and ongoing evaluation will help your health care team check your physical abilities, medical limitations and other conditions you may have, and keep track of your progress over time.
During your evaluation, your health care team will look at your risk factors for heart disease or stroke. This will help your team tailor a cardiac rehabilitation program to your individual situation, making sure it's safe and effective.
Physical activity. Cardiac rehabilitation will improve your cardiovascular fitness through walking, cycling, rowing, or even jogging and other endurance activities. You may also do strength training (lifting weights, for example) to increase your muscular fitness.
Don't worry if you've never exercised before. Your cardiac rehabilitation team will make sure the program moves at a comfortable pace and is safe for you, but in general you should exercise three to five times a week. You'll be taught proper exercise techniques, such as warming up and stretching.
Lifestyle education. Guidance about nutrition can help you shed excess weight and learn to make healthier food choices aimed at reducing fat, sodium and cholesterol in your diet.
You'll also receive support and education on making lifestyle changes and breaking unhealthy habits, such as smoking. And you'll learn how to manage pain or fatigue. Cardiac rehabilitation also gives you ample opportunity to ask questions about such issues as sexual activity. Finally, it's critical you closely follow your doctor's advice on medications.
Support. Adjusting to a serious health problem often takes time. You may feel depressed or anxious, lose touch with your social support system, or have to stop working for several weeks.
If you get depressed, don't ignore it because depression can make your cardiac rehab program more difficult, as well as impact your relationships and other areas of your life and health. Counseling will help you learn healthy ways to cope with depression and other feelings. Your doctor may also suggest medications such as antidepressants. Vocational or occupational therapy will teach you new skills to help you return to work.
Although it may be difficult to start a cardiac rehabilitation program when you're not feeling well, you'll benefit in the long run. Cardiac rehabilitation can guide you through fear and anxiety as you return to an active lifestyle with more motivation and energy to do the things you enjoy.
Cardiac rehabilitation helps you rebuild your life, both physically and emotionally. As you get stronger and learn how to manage your condition, you'll likely return to a normal routine, along with your new diet and exercise habits. It's important to know that your chances of having a successful cardiac rehabilitation program rest largely with you; the more dedicated you are to following your program's recommendations, the better you'll do.
After your cardiac rehabilitation program ends, you'll need to continue the diet and exercise habits you learned for the rest of your life to maintain heart-health benefits.
Cardiac rehabilitation is a long-term maintenance program — something to follow for the rest of your life. After about 12 weeks, you probably will have developed your own exercise routine at home or at a local gym. You may also continue to exercise at a cardiac rehab center. You may remain under medical supervision during this time, particularly if you have special health concerns.
Education about nutrition, lifestyle and weight loss may continue, as well as counseling. To get the most benefits from cardiac rehabilitation, make sure your exercise and lifestyle practices become lifelong habits.
Over the long term, you'll gain strength; learn heart-healthy behaviors; improve your diet; cut bad habits, such as smoking; and learn how to cope with heart disease. You'll also decrease your risk of coronary artery disease and other heart conditions.
One of the most valuable benefits of cardiac rehabilitation is often an improvement in your overall quality of life. If you stick with your cardiac rehab program, you're likely to come out of the program feeling better than before.

Sunday shows don't challenge senators' criticism of Afghan withdrawal timetable
Fox's and CBS' Sunday morning talk show hosts allowed Sens. Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman to criticize President Obama's conditions-based troop drawdown date in Afghanistan without mentioning Gen. David Petraeus' endorsement of that timetable. By contrast, during his interview of Sen. John McCain, ABC's Jake Tapper played video of Petraeus endorsing the timetable.
Petraeus said he "supported" and "agreed with" Obama's 2011 timetable
Obama: "[W]e will execute this transition responsibly" beginning in July 2011. In a December 1, 2009, speech [1], Obama said that the additional troops he was sending to Afghanistan "will allow us to accelerate handing over responsibility to Afghan forces, and allow us to begin the transfer of our forces out of Afghanistan in July of 2011. Just as we have done in Iraq, we will execute this transition responsibly, taking into account conditions on the ground. We'll continue to advise and assist Afghanistan's security forces to ensure that they can succeed over the long haul. But it will be clear to the Afghan government -- and, more importantly, to the Afghan people -- that they will ultimately be responsible for their own country."
Petraeus agreed with timetable, called it a "message of urgency." From the June 29 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing [2] on Petraeus' nomination to be commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan (around 1:02:25):
SEN. JACK REED (D-RI): In the course of your colloquy with Senator McCain, you indicated that you did not make a recommendation with respect to a deadline, but your public statements indicate you support that approach. Is that correct?
PETRAEUS: That's correct.
REED: So that you're fully supportive of the president's policy, including beginning a transition based upon the conditions on the ground in July of 2011.
PETRAEUS: Let me be very clear if I could, Senator. And not only did I say that I supported it, I said that I agreed with it. This is, again, an agreement that was made back, of course, in the fall of last year, based on projections about conditions that we hoped we'd obtain, that we were going to strive to achieve in Afghanistan a full year from now. So that was, you know, an 18-month or more projection at that time.
As I mentioned in my opening statement, I saw this most importantly as the message of urgency to complement the message of enormous additional commitment. Let's remember that it wasn't just this 30,000 additional forces, the president -- and actually, the previous president had started some deployment of additional forces before he left office. But we started with some 30-, 31,000 U.S. forces in Afghanistan in 2009. And we will now be approaching 100,000 by the time of the deployment of the final 30,000. So this is a substantial additional commitment complemented, again, by a message of urgency.
Lieberman's, Graham's criticisms of timetable left unchallenged
Lieberman on Fox: "[O]n balance, I think it was a mistake." On the July 4 edition of Fox News Sunday, guest host Major Garrett asked Lieberman if he wanted "U.S. forces, the surge forces, to start leaving July of next year, or do you want them to stay longer and fight longer?" Lieberman said that while he understood why Obama established the timetable, "on balance, I think it was a mistake because it sent a message to the Afghans, to the Taliban, to people in the neighborhood that we're going to leave regardless, and that's not the fact. General Petraeus has clarified that, the president has come some distance now in the last couple of weeks and clarified that. Whatever we do in July of 2011 will be based on conditions on the ground at the time." Neither Garrett nor Lieberman noted that Petraeus has endorsed the timetable.
Graham on CBS: "General Petraeus needs this monkey off his back." Asked by guest host John Dickerson on the July 4 edition of CBS' Face the Nation whether the timetable "has affected the pace of the counterinsurgency," Graham said it did, claiming that "confusion and uncertainty ... needs to be clarified." After Dickerson noted that "the administration says that all they're talking about is withdrawal based on conditions. The president's always said that from the beginning," Graham responded by saying that Vice President Joe Biden "reassured me that it would be conditions-based," adding that "General Petraeus needs this monkey off his back. It's not fair to him and our troops and our civilian counterparts to be operating in Afghanistan with the belief that come July 2011, we're going to begin to withdraw no matter what." Neither Dickerson nor Graham noted that Petraeus has endorsed the timetable.
Tapper challenged McCain's criticism of timetable with Petraeus' statements
Tapper plays Petraeus video in response to McCain criticism. McCain said on the July 4 edition of ABC's This Week that the timetable is "what I worry about more than anything else," adding that "we need a conditions-based situation, not a date for withdrawal." Tapper noted that under the Bush administration, "[t]here was an unlimited commitment of U.S. troops for an unlimited amount of time there, and that didn't seem to be effective, and yet you're criticizing this July 2011 deadline, which would be the beginning of a transition period." McCain responded that "I'm all for dates for withdrawal, but that's after the strategy succeeds, not before." Tapper then played video of Petraeus at his confirmation hearing saying that "not only did I say that I supported [the timetable], I said that I agreed with it," and his description of the timetable as a "message of urgency." Tapper then asked McCain, "Is General Petraeus wrong?" McCain responded by saying that Obama "should state unequivocally that we will leave when we have succeeded, and to somehow put that burden on General Petraeus is not appropriate."

"I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it's been." That's how Wayne Gretzky described his skill on the ice.
Lately, I've been reading commentators who have in effect penned obituaries about the future of the architectural profession. Their forecasts have been so consistently dark—often using the same words—that I'm beginning to wonder if we've been locked in an echo chamber where the next person speaking simply repeats the last thing they heard. Are these writers in fact predicting where the profession is going, or are they fixed on where it is now?
Even though recent reports from many AIA members and current stats from the AIA Billings Index suggest that the economy is beginning to show signs of life, we have been through a difficult period. Many firms are still hurting, and newly graduated students are feeling it in particular. I understand the toll it's taken. I've been there.
When I left architecture school, the going interest rate for construction loans was 14 percent. The high cost of borrowing scuttled a lot of projects or value-engineered them almost beyond recognition. A few years later, my home state, Texas, was hit first by the Savings and Loan debacle, and, right after that, the oil bust. Some firms had to shut their doors. Those that did survive—and many did—learned some tough lessons about how to keep treading water during our industry's periodic boom–and–bust cycles.
If I had I taken stock of my prospects based on what was happening around me, I might have sought employment at a booming company such as Polaroid or Eastman Kodak. At the time, they were the bluest of the blue chips. But now they are on the ropes. As they say in the fine print at the bottom of every stockbroker's prospective: Current conditions are no guarantee of future returns.
Our profession is traveling down a road few if any of us are familiar with. In a February 2012 article in Fast Company, the reporter Robert Safian wrote: "The pace of change in our economy and our culture is accelerating—fueled by global adoption of social, mobile, and other new technologies—and our visibility about the future is declining." Safian went on to say that the only certain things are uncertainty and flux. Are these necessarily things to fear? Are we slowly (some would say rapidly) being marginalized; or are we, in fact, on the cusp of a transformative and revitalized future?
That's how Thomas Fisher, Assoc. AIA, sees it. The dean of the University of Minnesota's College of Design, and contributing editor for ARCHITECT, writes in a February blog post on the Metropolis magazine site: "There remains so much work for architects that we should see the decline of traditional jobs not as a 'meltdown' of architecture, but as the beginning of its rebirth."
He's not alone. In a new four-hour PBS television series, Designing Healthy Communities, former AIA public director Richard Jackson discusses the connection between bad community design and burgeoning health issues. If he's right—and I think he is—identifying design as sound medicine is a new approach to a growing problem that architects will play a key role in solving.
Next month at the AIA's National Convention, architects old and young, recent graduates, and educators will have a unique opportunity to hear a variety of perspectives about the future of the profession. Who should we be listening to? Where's the puck going?
As you listen to these presentations, I would pay particular attention to those who counsel adaptability and celebrate the opportunities of change. In the meantime, don't count out architecture as a richly rewarding career.

Mountain Law: The law of handicapped parking
November 14, 2012
Handicapped parking regulation by states and local governments began in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. Then beginning in the late 1960s, the federal government adopted a series of increasingly comprehensive regulations affecting handicapped parking. The most important were the Fair Housing Act (amended 1988)(FHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The legal framework governing handicapped parking spots today is a mishmash of these regulations by federal, state and local governments. In general, there are two main areas of regulations: permit regulation and site regulation.
Permitting determines who is eligible to use handicapped parking spots. Permitting is generally regulated by the states, subject to federal mandates. The Department of Transportation promulgated rules that are used by most states, including Colorado, defining eligibility for handicapped parking permits based on six qualifying conditions: (1) inability to walk 200 feet without stopping to rest; (2) inability to walk without the use of or assistance from a device or person; (3) severe lung disease as measured by respiratory volume or arterial oxygen level; (4) use of portable oxygen; (5) cardiac condition of American Heart Association Class III or IV; or (6) severe limitation in the ability to walk due to an arthritic, neurological, or orthopedic condition. In Colorado, medical doctors, licensed podiatrists and advanced practice nurses can certify these conditions. Once certified, permits must generally be renewed annually and recertified every three years.
Site rules depend on the location of the handicapped parking spot. To begin with, there are special rules under the ADA for a wide variety of facilities open to the public. These rules basically require a certain number of reserved parking spaces be available in certain locations. In addition to the general requirements, the ADA requires special workplace parking for handicapped employees on a case-by-case basis.
In the case of multi-family residential projects, the applicable rules during construction are principally found in the FHA. All construction since 1988 has been required to meet certain design standards for handicapped accessibility. Projects constructed before 1988 are not subject to design standards (except as may be triggered by renovation), but may be required to provide accommodations to individual handicapped residents on a case-by-case basis. In some cases, landlords may be required to provide handicapped parking facilities to their tenants. Also, unit owners' associations may sometimes have their own rules pertaining to handicapped parking.
Local governments have the power to designate handicapped parking spaces on public property including streets. Improper parking in such spaces is punishable by law enforcement. Local regulation may also permit law enforcement to enforce handicapped parking rules on private property that is open to the public. Colorado law permits local governments to exempt handicapped persons from parking time restrictions and limits time restrictions for handicapped parking spaces to four hours.
Under Colorado law, each designated handicapped parking space whether on public or private property must be marked with an official upright sign identifying such parking space as reserved for use by persons with disabilities. Owners of private property available for public use may request the installation of official signs identifying reserved parking spaces and such request waives the owners' rights to object to handicapped parking enforcement by local authorities.
Handicapped parking rules have long suffered from lack of effective enforcement. As George Costanza learned when he parked his father's car in a handicapped parking space and returned to find a mob destroying the vehicle after a woman in a wheelchair unable to find a reserved parking spot was injured, enforcement of handicapped parking rules as a social norm remains the most effective approach.

text: HisWeirness was kind enough to post the current schedule for upcoming Nationals. I thought it deserved a thread of its own. Here are a few thoughts. - NBC has the rights to Nationals; not Universal (please correct me if I'm wrong). - There is no Nationals schedule listed for Universal Sports in the NBC link provided above. That link does list other sports on Universal. - In checking the Universal Sports site, there is no schedule for Nationals (or any other upcoming skating event). Given the current situation with Universal Sports - not available for most viewers. Given that there is now a station called NBC Sports (the old Versus). I wonder if there is just a chance that we might see some of Nationals on NBC Sports. I realize that NBC Sports is supposed to cover a lot of hockey and other not-skating-type sports. However, we don't know what changes will be made in the coming months to the NBC Sports schedule preceding the London Olympics. I think that NBC will want to make as much money as they can on Nationals. If nothing else, I can envision having repeats of the NBC network broadcasts on NBC Sports. It's just speculation, I know, but I can hope. I will leave the streaming options - Icenetwork etc. for others to post.
