The Royal BC Musuem is using yet another indoor positioning solution from Wifarer to enhance the visitor experience.
The BC Museum is working with indoor-positioning firm Wifarer to not only map its floor plans but also provide a location-aware guide to its exhibits. Like Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT), Wifarer uses Wi-Fi fingerprinting technology to create its maps and triangulate a phone's location indoors. But the Vancouver-based startup is only using maps and indoor navigation as a starting point.
Once a base map is produced, a building owner can start adding "objects" to the map, corresponding to objects in physical space. Those objects can then be populated with information, which can be accessed directly from the map or pushed to a user when the object is nearby.
So, what's to keep anyone from doing the indoor mapping and overlaying their own data?
But Wifarer is providing means for its customers to protect their turf. [Wifarer CEO] Stanger said it has developed software that will disrupt the Wi-Fi fingerprints that other mapping companies use to determine location, making accurate coordinate readings impossible.
Oh good!

Los Angeles-based MomentFeed, the startup developing location-based analytics software for brands, said Wednesday afternoon that it has connected its service directly into foursquare, allowing its customers to use MomentFeed to publish and manage their foursquare updates.
A new, free hurricane app from the American Red Cross offers location-based NOAA weather alerts and lets users send a one-touch "I'm safe" message via social networks to family and friends in an emergency.
It's called Hurricane and is available the Apple App Store and the Google Play store. . The big push here in Massachussetts as discussed on NPR, is the app's ability to work when the power is out. When the power is out many mobile masts are down, no?

I would say TERA is more close to real time than GW2
Isnt Tera's combat "real time"? Same for Guild Wars 2 and their dodging system? What are they doing different that doesnt allow for the same to be done here?
At the same time, I am sure high latency users will have issues playing TERA

Sounds like a great idea to me, I'm having a hard time finding anywhere that breaks the bill down and tells exactly what it's going to do. Any suggestions as to where to look?

This ain't 1970 kids, this is 2010. Every time I turn on the TV I see women news anchors, sportscasters, commentators, and Speakers of the House. Why do we need a bill to promote depictions of women in the media? This bill is being promoted by the Girls Scouts USA, but isn't Girl Scouts USA supposed to be promoting women everywhere, including in the media?
Tabby BiddleJuly 27, 2010, 3:58pm (report abuse)
I think this bill is fantastic. Thank you!
AngieJuly 28, 2010, 2:49pm (report abuse)
Skimming through it, the bill is mainly about (grants) promoting healthy depictions of women in media, so our twelve-year-old girls don't feel they have to starve themselves to fit into size zero jeans.
Encouraging more diversity in the representation of women in media will help widen the internalized definition of beauty that is currently dominated by images of skinny white models.
CELESTESeptember 2, 2010, 3:13pm (report abuse)
@ Samantha - what is illegal about research and media literacy?
J-BirdSeptember 30, 2010, 4:21pm (report abuse)
@ Brian OMalley - if you read it at all, you'd know that the bill isn't about promoting depictions of women in the media- it's about promoting healthy images of women in the media so that girls finally have a realistic look at what normal or healthy or beautiful means.
There are so many mixed messages about how girls should feel about their bodies, or what they should look like... something good should come out of it instead of just confusing kids.
This bill is about research and development toward creating a more realistic look at health and beauty.
It's no coincidence that girls' self-esteem is at record lows and that more girls than ever are suffering from depression, obesity, and eating disorders.
This bill is certainly a step in the right direction, to getting kids back to nature and in touch with a non-pixelated reality...
Until then, this is a great way for young girls to redefine beauty.

I think this bill is great! It isn't just about encouraging positive images of women in society (although that is great), I think that it also addresses issues of sexualization and objectification which are increasingly problematic in today's society. I encourage those who agree with the mission of this act to vote for it on change.org (http://www.change.org/petitions/support_the_healthy_media_for_youth_act - voting is very easy!) so that word of its support can reach government.
Also, if you are interested in the presence and proven effects of sexualization in society, I would recommend this video and others like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU2WzCjTkF4 It illustrates many modern-day examples and the consequences of this sexualizing trend, especially for the younger, more vulnerable, and more impressionable members of society.

Board of Advisors
The purpose of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's Board of Advisors is to give professional and knowledgeable advice to the organization in individual areas of expertise. Our advisors come from diverse backgrounds and hold varied points of view, not always compatible with each other. We view this as a strength, providing us with a wider spectrum of viewpoints and enabling us to avoid making mistakes in areas of which the Captain and the crew of the ships may not be familiar.
Sea Shepherd Advisory Board members help the organization navigate through the waters they are familiar in. Just as the Captain requires a Pilot to enter an unfamiliar port, our advisors steer us through a sea of facts, statistics, philosophy and tactics in which we may not be knowledgeable.
Sea Shepherd advisors are experts in their fields, ranging from the scientific and technical to the philosophical and tactical. Most importantly, they are people with a wealth of experience in their fields.
All of Sea Shepherd's advisors are supporters of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, although they may not agree with us on every issue or endorse every tactic and strategy we employ. What is important is that they all share a deep concern for protecting and conserving the diversity of life in our oceans.
Sea Shepherd's advisors have no legal responsibility for the actions of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

I'm leaning towards honing in on 125 gr. .357 Mag for my 2 1/4" SP101 as the "best" carry load possible, but the 158 grainers might make sense, too, in a short barrel.
I wonder if a short barrel doesn't maximize the speed of the 125's and since it would maximize the speed of the 158's then maybe over penetration wouldn't be a problem and a "better" choice for a short barrel.
Many discussions seem to gravitate towards 125 gr. as the ultimate, but just wondering the latest thoughts (to include the use of the full-power 125's, like 357B, in a short barrel).


text: Hello there New to the Club..Have a few questions though..I have an 03 WRX with a blown engine..Now should i replace the Engine with a Ej205? or should i go with the JDM engine and have an Ej207?

I will have 10 days to make the swap.. Where could i but either a JDM or USDM Long block? Is it worth it to swap and make a JDM engine? and if so..which version V7. V8. or V9?

Intel evolved into complete technology solutions provider
Jun 11 2014 , Chandigarh
Intel Corporation, Director, Worldwide Distribution, Sales and Marketing Group Dave Powell said Intel has evolved into providing solutions for cloud computing, retail, small and medium enterprises, education and many more areas.
He was here to attend Intel Channel Symposium (ICS) which was held today.
"Our focus has also branched out from traditional personal computers, to 2 in 1s, tablets, phones, servers and intelligent systems.
One of the main areas of focus this year is Intel's 2014 desktop strategy which aims to reinvigorate the category through compelling new products, reinvent the category through new factors like the Next Unit of Computing (a cost effective 4x4 inch computer without hard disk and memory) and portable All in Ones and lastly remodel the category through brand new usage models and experiences," he added.
A release quoting Powell said, " as we evolve, Intel Technology Providers (ITPs) will continue to be a critical part of our progress in India, where we have one of the longest running channel programs."
"This year through the Intel Channel Symposium we aim to connect with our ITPs and outline the various growth opportunities as well as update them about our product and solutions roadmaps.
"We are also heading for a revenue sharing model for the ITPs in which he plan to gradually involve tens of thousands of them," he said.

Hey all, I just got this subwoofer mainly for techno music and will have a professional build an enclosure for it and another that I plan on getting in the near future.
These are the specs:
Polk Audio db1040
Ideal Sealed Box Volume (cubic feet): 0.66
Size 10 -inch
Impedance 4 ohms
Cone Material Polypropylene
Surround Material Santoprene rubber
Ideal Sealed Box Volume (cubic feet) 0.66
Ideal Ported Box Volume (cubic feet) 1.25
Port diameter (inches) 4
Port length (inches) 12
Free-Air No
Dual Voice Coil No
Sensitivity 86 dB at 1 watt
Frequency Response 28 - 200 Hz
RMS Power Range (Watts) 50-270
Peak Power Handling (Watts) 540
Top Mount Depth (inches) 5 7/16
Bottom Mount Depth (inches) 5 7/8
Cutout Diameter or Length (inches) 9 1/16
Vas (liters) 28.3
Fs (Hz) 35
Qts 0.55
Xmax (millimeters) 7.5
Now I told him about the ideal box volume of .0186 cubic meters (.66 cubic feet) and he basically drew something with these specs to house two of these subs:
Width: 75cm
Height: 38cm
Depth: 30cm
That has a volume of 0.0855, or .04275 X 2
That seems much larger than the recommended size. Instead of blindly listening to "the professional", I would appreciate some input for the perfect dimensions.

2000 BMW 3-series
2000 10Best Cars
The BMW 3-series closes out the century with its ninth consecutive selection on our 10Best list. The reason is simple: an unusually accurate correlation between the 3-series' virtues and the desires of committed car enthusiasts. Foremost credit goes to the in-line six-cylinder engines that power all 3-series models. Although they do not possess huge horsepower ratings, these turbine-smooth sixes deliver terrific performance without ever breaking a sweat. And thanks to their variable valve-timing systems, they combine abundant midrange thrust with energetic high-rpm surge.
The 3-series' effortless competence also manifests itself in responsive handling, consistent and powerful brakes, and notably linear and progressive controls. These virtues are enhanced by the compact body that fosters agility while still packing considerable space for four occupants and their luggage.
This year, the 3-series lineup is expanded by the less-expensive 323 models that use a slightly less energetic 2.5-liter engine. Also new is the two-door body style, which exchanges a bit of rear-seat accessibility for a sportier look and more direct lineage to the seminal 2002. In any of these forms, BMW 3-series models remain the definitive sports sedans.
VEHICLE TYPE: front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 2- or 4-door sedan
ENGINE TYPE: DOHC 24-valve 2.5-liter or 2.8-liter 6-in-line
Power (SAE net): 170-193 bhp
TRANSMISSIONS: 5-speed manual, 5-speed auto
Wheelbase: 107.3 in Length: 176.0-176.7 in
Curb weight: 3150-3250 lb
EPA city driving: 18-21 mpg

The GAATW International Secretariat (GAATW-IS) will continue to use research, participatory learning, advocacy and communication tools to realise the vision and mission of the Alliance.
GAATW's research plays a substantial role in shaping and shifting global anti-trafficking discourses. Much of GAATW's research has been action-oriented, feeding local or international change processes and done in collaboration with Members and allies.
Members' involvement in research projects will maximise the knowledge and experience within the Alliance and ensure that research activities are relevant. In general, our research prioritises documenting women's experiences and agency in order to advance global anti-trafficking discourses, strengthens our advocacy messages, creates a sound evidence base with the objective of promoting and protecting the human rights of trafficked persons, and expands knowledge in under-researched areas.
Overall, we seek to destabilise the dominant perception of women as victims in isolated, crime-centred responses to trafficking. Instead, we strive to present a complex picture of empowerment through migration, work, and human rights based approaches.
We are steering a learning initiative with 12 members and partners from five countries in Asia (India, Indonesia, Nepal, Thailand and the Philippines), which has a collaborative research focus. While our practitioner members and partners will provide input based on their work experience, the IS will do desk research and prepare three working papers focusing on Reintegration, Access to Justice and Voice and Participation.
Training or capacity building participatory learning initiatives are an integral part of the IS' work. Our current projects in the Power in Migration and Work, has a strong training component. The newly revived Access to Justice programme also aims to provide some training support to members and partners on how to analyse and document cases. In addition, we are starting a new initiative this year to sensitise media personnel from India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka on writing and reporting on issues of trafficking and migration from a feminist perspective.

Iati, Edwards, Reed Rewarded for Performance with Final Men's Hoops Awards of 2012
Related Links
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Two standouts who led their teams to wins with prolific offensive performances split this week's America East's Player of the Week honor, while one of the top freshmen in the country earned Rookie of the Week honors for the third time this season. The final weekly awards of 2012, for the games ending Dec. 30, were announced Monday afternoon.
University at Albany's Jacob Iati and University of Maine's Justin Edwards each scored 26 points to lead their teams to wins last week and are Co-Players of the Week as a result, while Binghamton University's Jordan Reed averaged a double-double to earn Rookie of the Week accolades.
Iati (York, Pa.) scored a career-high 26 points in Albany's 71-61 win over Navy Friday to earn Player of the Week accolades for the second time this season and third time in his career. The senior guard sparked the Great Dane offense by accounting for over of third of its total scoring output in the win, Albany's seventh in its last eight games. Iati, who ranks among the nation's best in made three-pointers (48) and three-point percentage (.480), shot 8-of-13 from the floor and 6-of-11 from long range. The sharpshooter, who ranks fifth among league leaders in scoring (16.2 ppg), also added two rebounds, an assist and a steal in the victory over the Midshipmen.
Edwards (Whitby, Ontario) led the Black Bears to their second straight win en route to earning Player of the Week honors for the second straight week and third time this season. The sophomore guard scored a game-high 26 points and added five rebounds, four assists and three steals in Maine's 76-71 win at Quinnipiac Saturday. Edwards, who is averaging 25.3 ppg over his last three games, shot 10-of-16 from the floor. He leads America East in scoring (18.5 ppg) and steals (2.2 spg), while ranking sixth in assists (3.9 apg) and 16th in rebounding (5.4 rpg.)
Reed (Philadelphia, Pa.) recorded his sixth and seventh double-doubles of the season while averaging 16.5 points and 12.5 rebounds in a pair of games last week to earn Rookie of the Week honors. The freshman guard scored 10 points and added 11 rebounds against Colgate Friday and followed that performance with a game-high 23 points and 14 boards against Cornell Sunday.

- Patients treated with LY2605541 had a lower average score on the fear subscale of the ALBSS at week 12 than those treated with insulin glargine (6.6 vs. 10.0; p=0.022). 2
- LY2605541 and insulin glargine had similar effects on patient behavior at week 12 (p=NS). 2 Examples of change in subsequent behaviors associated with avoiding future hypoglycaemic events included eating large snacks, keeping blood sugar levels higher in social situations, staying at home more than liked and limiting exercise/physical activity.
- LY2605541-treated patients had lower average total scores on the ALBSS compared with glargine-treated patients (13.0 vs. 16.5 in the glargine group; p=0.026). 2
BERLIN, Oct. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) and Boehringer Ingelheim today announced patient-reported health outcomes data from a Phase II study of their investigational novel basal insulin analogue, LY2605541, in patients with type 2 diabetes. Study results showed that in addition to clinical results showing a statistically significant 48 percent baseline adjusted reduction in nocturnal hypoglycaemia compared with insulin glargine [0.25 vs. 0.39 events/ 30 days/patient, after adjusting for baseline hypoglycaemia events (p=0.020)] 1, patients treated with LY2605541* reported a statistically significant reduction in the anxiety and fear associated with experiencing a hypoglycaemic event based upon the Adult Low Blood Sugar Survey (ALBSS). 2 These data will be presented at the 48 th European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting in Berlin, Germany. Hypoglycaemia data were collected during a Phase II clinical study comparing LY2605541 with insulin glargine in patients with type 2 diabetes. In addition to the reduction in nocturnal hypoglycaemia in LY2605541-treated patients, results showed the treatments had similar overall rates of hypoglycaemia (p=0.08, not statistically significant). 1 The study used a validated patient-experience questionnaire called the Adult Low Blood Sugar Survey (ALBSS) 3 to measure patients' fear of mild-to-moderate hypoglycaemia and associated behaviors during the previous four weeks. Hypoglycaemia was defined as low blood glucose levels that were less than or equal to 70 mg/dL. The ALBSS measures the worry or fear associated with the impact of the patients' experience with a hypoglycaemic event and subsequent behaviors that are associated with avoiding future events based upon a previous experience.

$3.2 BILLION: Michelle O's School Lunch Overhaul

Cost of complying with Michelle Obamas school lunch overhaul?
by Kyle Olson
As schools continue to grapple with the school lunch menu overhaul pushed by First Lady Michelle Obama, some are realizing their headache isnt just from a lack of food.
The program involves way too much green and were not talking lettuce and brussel sprouts.
We mean the estimated $3.2 billion schools will have to find to implement the new federal regulations. Many schools are also losing money due the unpopular Obama menu.
New school lunch regulations mean financial losses for Pittsfield Public Schools, reported The Berkshire Eagle in Massachusetts.
The school district expects a program operating loss of more than $100,000 due to a required equipment upgrade, as well as fewer lunches and snacks being sold.
Congressman Todd Rokita, a member of the House Education and Workforce Committee, noted at a recent hearing,Because the law requires students to take fruits and vegetables for lunch, even if they have no intention of eating them, schools are struggling with increased waste. After implementing the new standards a year early, one Florida school district estimated students threw out $75,000 worth of food.
At Dedham High School in Massachusetts, providing the required vegetables in 1500 meals each week costs the district about $111 a day but administrators report many students just throw the fresh vegetables right into the trash, his statement read.
A New York district experienced a 50 percent decline in the number of student purchasing hot lunch.
This decline in participation made it more difficult for the school to afford to serve lunches and breakfasts that met the federal meal requirements. As a result, the districts food operation went $59,000 in the red and local leaders ultimately decided to opt-out of the National School Lunch Program, Rokita said.
The USDA estimates implementation of the new guidelines will cost $3.2 billion over five years. Given that its a government estimate and if Obamacare is any guide the cost for schools will likely be much higher.
#2 Jul 9, 2013
I was at a school board meeting last night.part of the 2012-2013 school year fiscal report showed the district lost nearly $24,000 on the school lunch program and they had made money or broke even in the past. And the garbage disposal costs where not factored in. One faculty member in attendance told me except for the salad most of the healthy stuff gets thrown out.

Mexicans are not a unique race, they are just defective shallow end of the gene pool Caucasians. Some are mixed with the shallow end pool indians.

New York´s Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake school district has become the latest casualty in first lady Michelle Obamas preferred lunch plan, dropping the menu after too many students complained of hunger.
[Food service manager Nicky] Boehm and her staff worked hard to implement the new regulations, but there were just too many problems and too many foods that students did not like and would not purchase, said Assistant Superintendent Chris Abdoo about the National School Lunch Program in a statement reported by EAGNews .org.Students complained of being hungry with these lunches and the district lost money.
The school system decided to instead create its own lunch menu for next year.
The district lost about $100,000 trying out the federal menu, which offered such meals as part of a chicken patty on a minicroissant, EAGNews .org reported.
Students felt they werent getting good value for their money, Ms. Boehm said in EAGNews .org.The high schoolers especially complained the portion sizes were too small and many more students brought in lunch from home.
This isnt the first school to drop the federal lunch menu plan. Catlin, Ill., schools did the same, calling the guidelines too restrictive, EAGNews .org reported....

Five years ago if you ask me if I agreed with what I'm about to say I'd have argued how wrong I am, and I might still be wrong. However, I'm starting to rethink some things and pot is one of them.
Talking with my 18 daughter for years about alcohol and pot, one of the arguments against pot was not only was it against the law but it is also socially unacceptable, at least in generic white land. I employee allot of black kids, 16-22 years old. Nearly none of them drink but all most all see nothing wrong with smoking pot. One day I ask one of my managers why he doesn't drink but yet smokes pot. He laughed at me and said "Really, you really want to know?...pot is for silly white people. When ya'll drink ya'll get all giggly and out of control, you can't talk, walk or drive. Pot makes you feel as good with out being stupid like ya'll." I can't comment on how pot makes you feel cause I don't know.
Ever since that conversation I've not been able to stop thinking about it. As white people we hate minorities that don't work but prob would never hire a kid with pot possession charge. Yes lots of white kids get caught with pot too but our kids get lawyers, we get the charges reduced or dismissed. Not the kids from the hood! They get 6 month to a year in jail because they can't pay the fine and legal fees and then a life long record!
Then there is the war on drugs! Wow how is that working for us? All we are really doing is murdering lots of Mexicans and make a bunch of drug lords rich. I bet there are a bunch of US farmers that would LOVE to get off of corn subsidies and start supplying American pot smokers with American grown pot.... and yes because I don't, haven't and never will smoke pot, tax the dog pop out of it!
Just some thoughts I've been having. Is old age eating away my brain?

SEOUL – If the international community's main goal is to push North Korea toward denuclearization, does the fact that Pyongyang is racing in precisely the opposite direction suggest a fundamental policy failure?
The question has taken on added urgency after a succession of monthly warnings sounded by satellite imagery analysis that North Korea's nuclear weapons program is gathering momentum.
In August, images suggested it had doubled the uranium enrichment capacity of the Yongbyon nuclear complex. In September, satellite photos indicated the North had re-started the plutonium reactor that provided fissile material for at least two of its three nuclear tests, and just last week they pointed to preparatory work for another detonation at the country's nuclear test site.
"Pyongyang is moving ahead on all nuclear fronts," said U.S. nuclear scientist Siegfried Hecker, a leading expert on North Korea's weapons drive.
Since coming to power in late 2011 after the death of his father, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has overseen a successful long-range rocket launch and the country's third — and largest — nuclear test.
If there is clear agreement on where the North is heading, there is little consensus on how best to stop it from getting there. The key question for the global community is the same as it has always been — whether to engage with Pyongyang or not.
Both North Korea and its main ally, China, want a return to six-party talks on denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula that also include South Korea, Japan, Russia and the United States. Washington and Seoul are adamant that Pyongyang must first demonstrate a commitment to scrapping its nuclear program, which it has repeatedly stated it has no intention of abandoning.
The result is an almost total impasse at a time when North Korea is making possibly its greatest strides toward achieving a credible nuclear threat.
"There is no diplomatic mechanism in place today that offers any prospect for slowing or stopping the North's WMD (weapons of mass destruction) programs," former senior U.S. State Department official Evans Revere said in a paper published this month by the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based think tank. "The road to further development of these programs by North Korea is now wide open, and Pyongyang is taking it."
Supporters of the principle of no substantive dialogue without prior progress on denuclearization argue that to do otherwise would be tantamount to accepting the North's recent progress toward nuclear statehood.
"Returning to talks now . . . would allow North Korea to have reset the table for negotiations in a way that undercuts the goals of North Korean nuclear disarmament," said Paul Haenle, a former U.S. representative at the six-party talks.
At the same time, Haenle, now director of the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy in Beijing, noted that dialogue with Pyongyang in the past at least had the merit of slowing down its weaponization program.
The brakes have clearly been taken off since the last six-party talks in December 2008, with the North conducting two nuclear tests, revealing a uranium enrichment facility and putting a satellite in orbit via a launch widely seen as a ballistic missile test.
International sanctions have been expanded, yet despite increased cooperation from China they still lack the intensity to present North Korea with a choice between nuclear weapons and economic survival.
Barring a sudden implosion of the regime, Revere believes talks are the only real option — and at the very highest level. "If the goal is to convince North Korea to implement its denuclearization commitments, nothing short of a dialogue with the North's leader or his inner circle is likely to achieve this," he said.
Nearly two years after taking power, the youthful Kim remains something of a mystery, although most experts agree he has successfully negotiated the tricky transition.
Initial hopes that he had a reformist bent have since withered, but Andrei Lankov, a long-time North Korea watcher and a professor at Kookmin University in Seoul, believes Kim will have to take risks spurned by his father, Kim Jong Il, if he wants to stay in power.
Kim Jong Il was nearly 60 by the time he had consolidated his leadership after the death of his father, Kim Il Sung, the nation's founder. The North's economy was already in dire straits, but reform carried risks for stability and Lankov argued that Kim Jong Il gambled on the system outlasting him even if he did nothing.
"Dying a natural death was Kim Jong Il's major strategic goal, and he achieved it," said Lankov.
By contrast, the latest heir in the Kim dynasty, whose exact age is disputed, will have to gamble on some economic reforms if he wants to remain in power into his old age. But reforming such a tightly controlled economy risks destabilizing the Kim dynasty's hold on power and coul/d usher in a period of national vulnerability that the regime believes is best negotiated with a nuclear deterrent.
"The bad news is that a reforming North Korea will remain nuclear," Lankov told a recent conference on the North held in Seoul. "The North Korean regime believes nukes are important precisely because reforms make them less stable."

SEC Reaches Settlement Deal with Rattner while AG Cuomo Aggressively Pursues
After years of working in lockstep on the blockbuster New York State pension scandal, the Securities and Exchange Commission and Attorney General Andrew Cuomo split over how to hold former auto czar Steven Rattner accountable for his alleged role in the scheme.
In his SEC settlement, Rattner will pay $6.2 million and accept a two-year ban from associating with investment advisors or broker dealers. But he admits no wrong doing. He must reapply to the SEC after his suspension.
Minutes after the SEC rolled out the details of their deal, Cuomo announced he was suing Rattner for $26 million and seeking to ban him for life from the securities business in New York.
The Attorney General, unlike the SEC, has both criminal and civil prosecutorial powers and has in his arsenal the state's powerful Martin Act, which gives the AG sweeping powers to fight financial fraud. In a press statement, Cuomo described Rattner as a central player in the criminal conspiracy to use bribes and kickbacks to get $150 million in state pensions that he could invest through his company Quadrangle.
"The investigation showed and the lawsuits allege that Rattner arranged for a series of kickbacks aimed at influencing the Office of the State Comptroller," asserts the Attorney General. "These kickbacks included more than one million dollars in sham placement fees paid to Henry "Hank" Morris, the political adviser to then-State Comptroller Alan Hevesi."
Cuomo's charges that it was Rattner, at Morris' request, that arranged for a DVD distribution deal for "Chooch," a movie produced by the brother of David Loglisci, who was the Comptroller's chief investment officer at the time. Rattner also made $50,000 in contributions to Hevesi's re-election campaign.
In dueling broadcast appearances on Thursday, both Rattner and Cuomo stood their ground.
Rattner is still promoting his book "Overhaul," which chronicles his work as President Obama's point man tasked with saving the auto industry. He remained calm when CNBC panelists asked him about the SEC settlement and Cuomo's fresh legal action against him.
"I am open to a reasonable settlement in order to move on with my life and so forth," said the confident Rattner. "And whether we achieve that or not is frankly up to the Governor-elect."
Meanwhile, on his regular appearance on the radio show of New York Post editor Fred Dicker, Cuomo blasted the SEC for being too lenient. And the Governor-Elect was sharpening his sights on Rattner, whom Cuomo says asserted his fifth amendment privilege 68 times during questioning about his role in the wide-ranging scandal.
"But it's not justice to me, Fred, to say, well put back the money that you took and you go about your way. Put the cookie back in the jar and we will make believe it never happened," Cuomo said.
Former federal prosecutor and white-collar defense attorney Robert Mintz says that Rattner still has a lot to be worried about. Mintz says Cuomo may have a reach the SEC does not have. "And settling with the SEC does not mean he might not be exposed to civil and even potentially criminal charges for the same conduct if it violates parallel state criminal and civil law," Mintz says.
Rattner is a major Democratic fundraiser and long-time financial advisor to Mayor Bloomberg. During his CNBC appearance, he continued to drop Mayor Bloomberg's name and said he was still spending much of his time helping the mayor manage his vast private wealth and charity, the Bloomberg Family Foundation. "I think he is wonderful," said Rattner, "and I would like to help with whatever he plans to do next in life."
Under the terms of his two-year exile from the securities industry, government regulators say he cannot get paid for giving investment advice.
He can, however, give free advice. And Mayor Bloomberg said through a spokesman he will be glad to get it from Rattner. "Mr. Rattner is a friend whose advice the mayor has and will continue to rely on" says Stu Loeser.

I saw the "PSD Templates" section and it makes me wonder,
I use Photoshop to create original graphics, but I never made any PSD Template before.
I'm confused and not sure where to get start.
So I have a few questions:
1 – If I want to make a PSD Template, is it only photoshop all I need?
or also html etc.. ?
2 – Can you please direct me to a PSD Template tutorial (How to make one) ?
Thanks ahead
Sorry about my bad English.
This one is also very good for beginners.
Thank you for the great links
The PSD design part looks simple, the HTML /CSS part look very complicated for somebody like me who don't really knows more then the basics of html.
Take a look at this tutorial.
I agree with Aphrodite Design, you can learn how to convert a PSD into HTML/CSS. But I'll suggest you to download one of the HTML/CSS templates that comes with PSD from here and then play around with the PSD and learn how some element appears to be in code format in the HTML version.
Hope this helps.

Easy Payday Loan Lenders
Easy Payday Loan Lenders offer those lacking cash the methods to cover necessary expenses and emergency outlays during times of financial distress. They should only be entered into; however, if your borrower possesses a good deal of knowledge regarding their specific terms. Use the tips on this page, and you'll know whether you do have a good deal prior to you, or if you're fall into a hazardous trap.
Easy Payday Loan Lenders should never be taken in excess. Don't run around town and get a dozen pay day loans in the fast. You may find yourself unable to repay the loans, in spite of your income.
If you take out an online payday loan, ensure that you can afford to pay for it back within one to two weeks. Easy Payday Loan Lenders should be used only in emergencies, once you truly haven't any other alternatives. When you take out a quick payday loan, and should not pay it back without delay, a pair of things happen. First, you have to pay a fee to hold re-extending your loan before you can pay them back. Second, you continue getting charged a growing number of interest.
Make sure you borrow exactly the bare minimum when trying to get Easy Payday Loan Lenders. Many people have emergencies come up and need extra cash, though the interest rate over a payday loan is significantly higher than what is important to pay with a bank or credit card company. Keep the costs of your loan lower by only borrowing the thing you need, and keep up with your instalments,
Consider payday lenders with direct deposit. You'll get your cash within a day. This is the handiest and safe means of obtaining the money.
Sometimes we can all work with a little help financially. If you find yourself which has a financial problem, and also you don't know best places to turn, you may get a payday loan. A cash advance is a short-term loan that one could receive quickly. There is a bit more involved, and the tips will help you understand further with what these loans are about.
Payday loan companies works around the laws to charge you the highest amount. These loans cost a degree (say $15 per $100 lent), which can be just interest disguised as fees. As a result, a loan can accrue just as much as ten times a persons vision rate of the standard loan.
Beware of falling in to a trap with Easy Payday Loan Lenders. In theory, you'd pay the loan back in one to two weeks, then proceed with your life. In reality, however, many individuals cannot afford to repay the loan, along with the balance keeps allowing this to continue to their next paycheck, accumulating huge amounts of interest over the process. In this case, many people get into the job where they are able to never afford to settle the loan.
Whenever you are filling in an application for any payday loan, always look for some sort of writing that says your information will not be sold or given to anyone. Some payday lending sites will offer important information away including your address, ss #, etc. so be sure you avoid these firms.
Only borrow the money that you need. For instance, if you're struggling to repay your bills, this money is obviously needed. However, you must not borrow money for splurging purposes, including eating out. The high rates of interest you will have to pay down the road, will not be worth having money now.

In all of these cases, they were law abiding people before wigging out. Christ! In the Ft. Hood massacre, it was a soldier; someone most of us would place complete trust in.
Getting these weapons under control and outright banning of some does work. Again, we don't see these mass shootings occurring regularly in Canada, Australia, Japan, France, Germany, England and other places where the average joe does not have easy access to them. Getting these weapons on the black market is not nearly as easy ad buying them legally at a gun shop. Bans absolutely do slow down these types of gun crimes; we saw it with the Clinton Assault Weapons ban. Even though the overall crime rates rose until he seriously funded more cops, mass shootings were rare. Bush repealed the assault weapons ban and here we are....... Burying children!

Now, I am not one of these "never spank your kids" hyper liberals and believe it is effective and necessary for some kids and families. I myself received my fair share of sessions receiving the razor strap from grandpa and dad's belt. In school, like other boys, I have experienced the paddle from both the coach and the principal and I deserved it every time and I learned consequences for my actions.
But, this can have the total opposite effect with kids like you mention and if the parent does not conduct it properly, it does more harm than good. If done by a parent who is lashing out at the kid in anger or rage, it teaches the kid to lash out with physical violence when angry and can actually create a mass shooter. The whole spanking issue is a Pandora's box that can be a very good and positive disciplinary tool or can be very psychologically destructive.
I experienced both. My mom and dad both had serious anger control issues and the beatings I received were abusive and lashing out in rage with no constructive discipline value. On the flip side the coporal punishment I received at school and from my grandpa was administered appropriately and was constructive discipline.
Again, it's not about spanking your kids, it's about these damn guns!
Ft. Hood is a little different Wolf. Military bases have weapons readily available. I work on one and its not hard for enlisted to go sign out a weapon if not already assigned one. I don't remember specifics about Ft. Hood and I'm not posting to argue the point since I don't know where that shooter got his weapon (personal or assigned), but military bases are like candy stores if enlisted men/women decide to snap. I agree its not about spanking a child, but more about being an effective parent. Then thats only a piece of the pie. Mental instability is another piece of the pie and so on. There is a lot of variables that create the monster.
The reason I wanted to post something in here is what I saw as disturbing yesterday. There has been a lot of mentioning of assault weapon bans, but yesterday I saw that there are many ways to get around that definition. I went into my local gun shop and of course, they are selling weapons like its no tomorrow with all the fear of bans. I was looking at the different rifles. One was a 5.56 assault rifle, the other a .308 SAS assault rifle. Both guns looked very similar, but the 5.56 was the deemed assault rifle and required the standard background check and waiting period. The SAS, bigger caliber, longer range was a cash and carry weapon. They looked the same, but one was able to get past the definition and be walked out the door the same day if the simple background check was passed. I think that weapon should have been subject to the same background check as the 5.56 and was quite shocked.

St. Patrick's Day is just around the way and if you're looking for a fun way to celebrate with the kids, behold our anti-pinch plan. Folklore has it that wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns—little creatures who delight in pinching anyone they can see. So, getting pinched by others is a friendly reminder that if you don't don the green, the leprechauns will come to get you. Here are a few cute ways to prevent the pinch…
String Bracelet
- Green and gold beads
- Jewelry string
While a little time consuming, this project is fairly easy. String the beads to your desired length and knot at each end. Make sure to leave space at one end for the "clasp" bead.
At the other end, create a loop for the single bead to fit through and knot again. Now it's ready to wear!
Hair Accessories
Get your glue gun out. These two gems can be created in a snap.
- Festive ribbon
- Craft pom poms
- Alligator clips and jewelry pins
- Glue gun
Glue green pom poms onto a alligator clip. Once it's dry, it's ready to scare off those little leprechauns.
The kids might need some help tying a ribbon bow. Once you've got it the way you like it, glue it to your pin or clip and it'll be good to go.
Last but not least, we have two cute nail projects that are sure to delight the ladies in the family.
- Green nail polish
- Top coat
- Gold glitter
- Craft glue and a toothpick
- Nail polish remover and cotton ball
Pot o' Gold: Paint every nail but one your favorite shade of green. Use top coat on the sole nail as a base, and then sprinkle with gold glitter. Let all nails dry thoroughly, then put a layer of top coat over them all.
Lucky Charm: Paint all of your nails your favorite shade of green. Once dry, use craft glue and a toothpick to make a small four-leaf clover on a single nail. Let it dry completely again. Then, use nail polish remover on a cotton ball to take off the nail polish on the clover nail—don't worry about maneuvering around the clover, the glue will stay-put… like magic!
However you decide to ward off the leprechauns this March 17th, we hope these fun ideas will help you paint the town green.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Beer or whiskey.
Iced green tea
Peach tea most of the time.
Water or coffee or beer or spirits, or rarely, tea.
Never soda.
Genmaicha or Matcha green tea.
Water, with or without Crystal Light.
baqui63 wrote:Water or coffee or beer or spirits, or rarely, tea.
Never soda.
That should have been one of the choices, it's so obviously the right answer.
Juice or teas.
Milk! Usually skim milk.
The Woot staff has set a record in that almost every of my answers to every poll today was not in the list they gave. What's going on?
Single Malt Scotch.
once in a while, tea.
MILK! It does a body good.
Water, mostly. Several per day.
Beer, on occassion. Maybe 1 or 2 in a week.
Coffee, never.
Soda pop, maybe 3-4 times per year.
Hard liquor, never.
Tea, never.
Milk, almost never.
A Hurricane Sandy, it's a watered down Manhattan.
Tea, Longjing (Dragon Well) green or some heavily toasted Formosan Oolong.
Iced green tea here as well.
Nothing, all I need is wine.
Tea, definitely tea.
Generally my drinking goes along the following path:
- 2 cups of coffee in the morning
- Sparkling Water with Lunch
- Tap water in the afternoon (on work days; replace with hot black tea on weekends)
- A small cocktail before dinner (generally a dry martini, though since my wife got us a 3-liter barrel to age cocktails in for Christmas, the martini is often replaced by a barrel-aged Manhattan)
- Wine with dinner
Some of those are left off, depending on the day/meal. In the summer the cocktail and/or wine are often replaced with beer depending on the meal and how hot the day has been.
Tea. Brewed from whole leaves (not the rot they put in bags) and very lightly sweetened. Sometimes it's green, sometimes flavored, sometimes plain black, sometimes herbal.
Another tea vote
soy milk . make that light soy milk. vanilla flavored. silk is my fav brand.
Green tea
All of the above...and milk
Tea (preferably good loose leaf), milk and everything in the options except coffee (never) and soda is rare.

From our early morning flight on a Friday, we went straight from the airport to Souq Waqif. Maybe you're wondering why we chose to put the souq first in our itinerary knowing that it's a Friday and based on our own experience in Dubai, souqs usually open late. Well, the initial plan was to take photographs with less crowd as the architecture in itself is already a beauty. Lo and behold, Souq Waqif's "life" isn't dictated by the sun.
The cab dropped us in front of a boutique hotel. The place was quiet and looked deserted. We wandered aimlessly until we found a sikka filled with small shops left and right. As we walk further, it gets noisier and noisier – welcome to Al Hamam Market! At the time we arrived, there's a man on a microphone speaking continuously. Of course, it's in Arabic that's why we couldn't understand. We just realized that it was an auction for birds when we saw that some more white-dressed guys were gathering around falcons and other birds. In the next few minutes, we saw hoards of guys coming – adults and kids alike, all of them carrying boxes and cages of birds, rabbits and other animals.
We walked to the covered part of the souq and reached what looks like the spice market. Men in white and maroon vest were all over the place. By the looks of it, shop keepers have a uniform over here. Neat!
These men were staring at us curiously and I was 50% freaked, so we left and wandered some more. About 60% of the shops were closed but there were enough number of people to say that the souq was quite busy.
We reached the dining strip of the souq and wow, there was quite a lot of restaurants to choose from – French, Italian, Moroccan, Indian, etc On this side we saw a lot of expats, most of them Westerners. We stopped on a Lebanese joint where we had a nice and quick breakfast.
Also along this dining strip is a gallery called Souq Waqif Arts Center. It features art exhibits and courses, plus lovely dining options.
As we walk further, we reached the Falcon Souq and found this building that actually says: Souq Waqif Falcon Hospital. As the name suggests, it's a hospital dedicated to falcons. Say whut!
Then we saw a big gate and reached a big horse stable! Truly, this souq surprised us big time.
Found a dead-end so we went back to the other side of the road. We entered sikka after sikka and before we know it, we're already lost. Take note, these sikkas usually do not get natural light so in some areas, it was really, really dark. By the time we reached the Handicraft Center, we bid Souq Waqif goodbye.

Duwamish Longhouse celebrated its 5th Anniversary Jan. 25
The Duwamish Tribe celebrated its 5th Anniversary of the building of the first Duwamish Longhouse since the last one was burned down in West Seattle in 1894 for the purpose of pushing the Duwamish off their land according to the tribe. The Longhouse is located at 4705 W. Marginal Way S.W.
The event featured a reception, and concert by Master Salish Artist Roger Fernandes.
In 1851, there were over 90 Duwamish Longhouses. All were removed or destroyed leaving the Duwamish tribe member no gathering place. Cecile Hanson, descendant of Chief Sealth explained what the anniversary means and how the longhouse came to be built.
"We signed a treaty which is a bogus treaty since we're not recognized by the federal government. That is wrong. But, George and Arlene Wade approached me, and she was crying because we had no land, so George said, 'Cecile what do you think about me seeing if we could go find some property? I thought, 'OK, George we had tried it twice and never got anything. Once in Renton and once in Fort Dent. So George not only found this property he put the first $10,000 down, then we were on the move. We raised the money and paid off the land. Then we began to try to build a longhouse. We did that too, and wonderful people from Paul Allen to Bill Gates and a lot of deep pocket people who cared helped us build it, and it's all paid for. It's wonderful and I give credit to all these people who were good enough to help us build the longhouse or else we'd be here in a little shack under the Spokane Street Bridge."
Opened in 2009, the Longhouse is a traditional cedar post and beam structure designed in the Puget Salish Longhouse style. It houses a Native Art Gallery, Duwamish History Museum, Gift Shop, Duwamish Tribal Offices, and traditional Longhouse. As in ancient times, Longhouse is the site where tribal business is conducted and cultural & educational events are held.
In addition, the Duwamish Tribe shares its Longhouse with the public to reinforce its cultural and social traditions. Monthly special events as well as ongoing workshops, demonstrations and lectures are available to the public. School tours provide children with an introduction to the Duwamish Tribe and Salish People.
The Duwamish Longhouse is also an important regional resource for tribal members, researchers, teachers and students interested in Duwamish history and culture. Historic photographs and associated material collected by historians and researchers will also be available. Lushootseed language materials on CDs, tapes, and videos have been researched and compiled by tribal elder, Vi Hilbert. Select pieces from the adjacent ancient villages, on loan from the Burke Museum, MOHAI, and the Port of Seattle are also displayed in secure, humidity controlled display cases with bilingual signage and interpretation.
