text: Whats up guys, after driving Honda's my whole life i finally have upgraded myself to a awd turbo sex machine. At first I had my hopes set on a new Sti, unfortunately the insurance on those bad boys are sky high soo i then decided on a wrx.. I wanted a 09 but still the price was a little too high. After a couple of days of searching i found a gorgeous blue 08 wrx with 10k miles with the premium package. After a couple of weeks of research i decided I wanted to upgrade my baby to stage 2. So I gave my good friend josh a call from import image racing and he hooked it up with a invidia catless downpipe and a v2 cobb accessport. I am very pleased with the power gains. But now I have one problem...I need more!!!!!!!!!! lol my next upgrades will consist of some suspension work and a bigger turbo / fmin.

Women with male names do better in legal careers: study
SINGAPORE (Reuters Life!) - What's in a name? A lot if you're seeking a legal career, with a U.S. study finding that women with male names are more successful lawyers and judges than those with more traditional, feminine names.
The study, led by economist Bentley Coffey of Clemson University in South Carolina, looked at the relationship between a person's success in the legal profession, and their ultimately becoming a judge, and how masculine their name is.
The study found by hypothesizing and using a series of equations that a female "Cameron" is about three times more likely to become a judge than a "Sue," while a female "Bruce" is five times more likely.
"Despite the fact that women made up half of the students graduating from law school in the past 15 years, the legal profession remains a male-dominated world," Coffey wrote.
"Consequentially, one would suspect that having a male persona or male moniker might still be advantageous to a career in law."
Coffey and his team used data from the voting population of South Carolina state to test the so-called "Portia Hypothesis."
The thesis is named after Shakespeare's play, "The Merchant of Venice," in which the heiress Portia masquerades as a male lawyer to argue before a judge the case of her husband's friend Antonio, saving him for the moneylender Shylock.
"The first female lawyer in South Carolina had a masculine name and today many female lawyers privately express their belief that their nominal masculinity matters," the study said.
It listed other factors that could contribute to the advancement of women with male names, including the small number of females in law firms in several parts of the United States and that more voters prefer men to women when casting their ballots for judicial positions. Continued...

Ford-Iroquois health board: Expenses justified
WATSEKA — The Ford-Iroquois Public Health Department contends that expenses being reviewed by Iroquois County's auditor at the request of the Iroquois County Board chairman were justified.
"Although we appreciate Mr. (Rod) Copas' enthusiasm for learning the inner workings of the FIPHD, we wish it was more informed and constructive in a positive manner," a prepared statement from the Ford-Iroquois Board of Health said Monday.
"If all the time, money and effort being spent in endless questions and audits could be redirected into our FIPHD programs that have measurable outcomes, we might be able to make even more progress in our communities' health."
Copas said last week that he asked the county's auditor to review specific financial transactions of the bi-county health department after he reviewed the two years' worth of agency bills.
Copas said that among the bills he came across were charges totaling more than $1,000 for floral arrangements, an estimated 50 to 60 checks written to various restaurants like Subway and Monical's Pizza, a $500 expense for gift cards to Dick's Sporting Goods, and charges for iTunes and tackle boxes for fishing. There were also charges from Casey's General Store, Walmart and Durst Cycle in Champaign, Copas said.
"We just question the validity of spending tax dollars for those purposes," Copas said.
"Mr. Copas lists many concerns about particular checks written, which is fair," the board of health said. "In fact, this is the diligent process we go through at each of our quarterly (board of health) meetings.
"This is where we learn that Walmart credit cards are utilized to buy new car seats on the IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation) program; Casey's gift cards are utilized by the Eastern Central Illinois Area Agency on Aging for clients receiving services through GAP funds; Dick's Sporting Goods gift cards were purchased by Humana insurance rebate funds for employee wellness; Subway and Monical's lunches for volunteers (not employees) are stipulated by the Elder Abuse Grant.
"As anyone in government would know, each grant rewarded for programs and services comes with very particular stipulations on expenditures, and we're grateful the FIPHD keeps such accurate records.
"We realize someone outside the field of community health, wellness and environmental health may see some of these expenses as trivial ... but to the young mother putting her infant in a car seat from Walmart, or to the elder who now has a grant-supported means of transportation from Durst Cycle, we can assure you these charges are not trivial."
Regarding the more than $1,000 paid for floral arrangements, the board of health said: "We're pleased to see the costs have not exceeded this amount," considering "the sheer number of program-marketing door prizes, raffle baskets and even arrangements for colleagues dealing with tragic events (which are often reimbursed by employee donations)."
Copas also has raised into question a $30 check made out to the son of an employee of the health department. The check has "money" written in the memo line, Copas said.
But the board of health responded: "If Mr. Copas would look again at the personal check stating 'money' in the memo line, he may see that it actually says 'mowing.'"
The board of health also responded to Copas' concerns about its decision to hire CMS Renewables, Collinsville, to install solar panels on the health department's offices in Watseka and Paxton. Copas said sources within the health department told him that the company is owned by the husband of Julie Clark, the health department's spokeswoman and Freedom of Information Act officer. The project cost a total of $130,000, Copas said.
"Yes, the solar panel was quite expensive, and there are equally as many cynics as proponents of 'green energy' sources. However, this openly bidded project was installed in a budget-neutral manner by utilizing grant monies and a carefully selected financing package," the board of health said.
The board of health added that "budget-neutral" means "no significant additional cost above average estimated electricity costs.
"The suggestion that adding solar energy cost the taxpayers of Ford and Iroquois counties an additional $130,000 is simply not true," the board of health said.
Copas also raised concern about whether the eight-member board of health has been reviewing or questioning bills as it should. Copas said the minutes of the health board's meeting from May 17, 2010, show that the board voted unanimously to approve the payment of all bills from October 2009 through April 2010 — totaling "about $1.4 to $1.6 million" — but "there's no way they could have reviewed all of the claims at that meeting."
"Mr. Copas will have a better understanding of this process if and when he attends future board of health (BOH) meetings. The paying of claims is something we take very seriously, which is why copies for review are sent to BOH members ahead of the meeting for review," the board of health said. "In addition, the president of the BOH signs the claims as they come in, and contacts (health department Administrator Doug) Corbett directly with any questions as they arise.
"Mr. Copas' concern regarding the number of months is noted, but not unexpected when we meet quarterly, rather than monthly, and do not meet in January if weather does not permit. It's hard to imagine that we would go page by page through the claims, but we can assure you we do. As he would know, if he had attended a regularly scheduled meeting."

Heartburn triggers: Heartburn and exercise
Need an excuse to skip the sit-ups? Crunches and ab work can trigger heartburn. Body positions that involve bending over increase pressure on the abdomen, thrusting stomach acids back up into the esophagus. So you feel the burn -- but not the type you'd expect from going to the gym. Keep in mind that leg lifts also work the abdominal muscles and may aggravate heartburn symptoms too.
Activities such as headstands and yoga moves like downward dog can reverse the natural flow of stomach contents and may trigger heartburn. Jarring exercises, such as jogging or aerobics, can slosh stomach contents around and upward if you have a weak LES.
Heartburn is no reason not to exercise. In fact, weight loss from exercise can actually help heartburn. But never exercise on a full stomach. Doing so increases abdominal pressure, which makes heartburn more likely. Food takes several hours to digest so it really is a matter of what works for you. Most experts recommend waiting about two hours after eating before working out.
Heartburn triggers: Heartburn and medications
Many different medications can trigger heartburn, or make heartburn worse. An aspirin here or there is not likely to lead to that fiery feeling. But regular use of aspirin or a popular class of painkillers called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs) may irritate the esophagus. NSAIDs include ibuprofen, naproxen, and prescription Cox-2 inhibitors such as Celebrex. These drugs are often used to treat arthritis.
Several different types of blood pressure medicines can also cause heartburn. Many blood pressure and heart disease medicines, including calcium channel blockers and nitrates, relax the LES muscle, making it easy for your stomach acids to retreat backwards.
Several other types of medications are known to relax the LES muscle and lead to heartburn. They include:
- An asthma medicine called theophylline, taken by mouth
- Sedatives
- Narcotic painkillers
- Progesterone, a hormone found in some birth control pills
- Medicines for Parkinson's disease
- Tricyclic antidepressants
- Certain supplements such as iron and potassium
Chemotherapy drugs and a class of osteoporosis medicines called bisphosphates can injure the lining of the esophagus and make heartburn more likely. Taking your osteoporosis medicine with a big glass of water and avoiding lying down for 30 minutes to an hour helps to prevent problems.
Always tell your doctor if a new prescription or over-the-counter medicine gives you heartburn or makes your heartburn worse. Your doctor may be able to suggest alternatives.

Today my human didn't get up until 11 - which means I didn't get my morning treat until then - constant attacks to the face, and biting the nose were unsuccessful.
I tried to lounge outside but it was a little chilly (could not feel it through my fur and fat) but I don't like the wind or hail for that matter.....I did manage to get off the step and induldge in some grass though.....delicious.
I tried to pass some time by watching Simon (the fish) but I got bored quickly - so I decided to take many naps......of which I am dozing off now.....

Nah, this one's way, way more fun!
expresssoul said
Cool, Matt But you have some good bestsellers, so your music is spreaded pretty well on Youtube.
Actually, that's not necessarily the reason, because I'm getting lots of uses of tracks that have hardly sold on the marketplaces.
The main reason from what I can tell is that YouTube users will 'rip' the music off another YouTube user's video (usually a popular YouTuber that has licensed my music), and use it themselves on their own video (without a license or permission of course). Then somebody will come along, and 'rip' the music off that video. And there, the snowball effect begins!
Sometimes however, and if I'm lucky, the user will add a link to my YouTube channel in their description box, in the belief that this somehow circumvents the copyright issue (which of course is not true!). Users will then follow those links to my own YouTube channel, and either purchase a license from me, or just rip the music straight from my own videos.
It's pretty crazy stuff if I'm honest, but better to benefit from the copyright infringers than to sit back and watch them continually taking and using all our work for free – or 'stealing', for a better word!
Think I'll add one to the hat!http://audiojungle.net/item/into-the-light/7856971
And a big thanks from me for everyone's congratulations, to the folks at Envato for running the competition in the first place and big congrats to all the other winners who made the cut! !
Man, that was a toughie – up against so many incredibly well executed submissions, can't believe I even got a look in!
guitarsstate said
Huge congrats to the winners! I'm surprised that my favorite entry 'Into the Light' by Matt Harris didn't win anything…
Haha thanks Vents! You're not the only one to have said that this week and personally I thought that was my strongest submission too, but at the same time I'm very happy they rolled with my corporate/dubstep crossover creation.
Sometimes we have to take creative risks every now again, and glad it paid off in this respect!
GreenAudio said
I remember before Envato 'simplified' this process the rating option automatically appeared.
Well fingers crossed the rating option doesn't automatically appear ever again. The rating system is pretty flawed and harmful in more ways than one for audio items.

Another top notch submission, Matt! Way to go!
Thanks Vents! Corporate Dubstep; it's the future!
Thought I'd do a bit of experimenting with this one and see what Corporate Rock and Dubstep would sound like if they made a baby together. Think I managed to just get away with it!

As a site for both historical research and commentary, Labor hopes to provide a scaffolding for understanding the roots of our current dilemmas. While still engaging social movements and institutions based on industrial work, Labor gives equal attention to other critical labor systems and social contexts, including agricultural work, slavery, unpaid and domestic labor, the informal sector, and the professions.

Virunga: the Passion of Dian Fossey
Virunga is th...more
1 Recommendation
John_and_Rose's recommendation
On December 28, 1985 after eighteen years of research in the dripping rain forests of the Virunga volcanoes in central Africa, Dian Fossey was brutally murdered. Though not quite fifty-four years old, she had lived a life as remarkable and rewarding as that of any woman of our time. Virunga is the startling true account of Dian Fossey's life as told by Canada's favorite wildlife writer, Farley Mowat. Based on Fossey's private correspondence, journals, camp records, personal papers and interviews with her colleagues, friends and enemies, it is the story of one woman's inexhaustible passion for life--and the creatures who share it with us. A fascinating book!

I am so proud of what we did. I can't wait for everyone to hear these 11 new songs! Many of you have heard live versions of some of the CD, but to hear the disc in its complete recorded form... Egads! I want to post it now for all to hear, but I'll be patient. Just a couple more weeks. Until then... Let us know what you think of the free download we put out tomorrow!
I am so stoked to be playing with these guys Thursday night! I know that we'll be done by the time most people show up, but we're playing on the same stage the same night with one of the bands that I looked up to as a teen. I was all over the "Reality..." album! -SB
It's not even known if anyone ever reads these things as I'm typing these thoughts to the world (or at least those currently able to get to this page). I picked up a new guitar this weekend that at first glance mirrors the one I've had for several years. I purchased it from the store and played it on stage within the first 3 hours of ownership. I also felt inspired to write with it today. I'm still not sure if it will be my main instrument live, but it will definitely see a lot of action. I'll keep "you" posted... Sean


text: I just upgraded my Ipad to io5 and all went well apart from the fact that before i could minimize the windows and kept all in the background. Now with io5 I can't do it any more, when I open a 2nd window the 1st one still appears in the toolbar but that is it, no more than that. Can anyone please tell me if there are any apps that will do it. I love my Ipad to bits, there's nothing like that to me, but the 'single window' problem is driving nuts. Any advice very welcome.

What the Warwick Hotel Looked Like When Iran Checked In
By Terry Trucco
The Queen's flag – or absence of it – announces whether or not she is in residence at Buckingham Palace. At large hotels flags flown above the entry perform a similar task, hinting that notables are in the house, whether a visiting government or a football team.
The only flags flying in front of the Warwick Hotel this week were the stars and stripes and the red Warwick banner. But anyone following current events who chanced by knew precisely who had checked in.
A fence of concrete police barriers — and a contingent of uniformed police officers — is a lot less subtle than a flag. Then again the paying guests included 140 visitors from Iran, among them President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in town for the opening of the 67th session of the General Assembly. Interesting hotel choice by the Iranian delegation. Press baron William Randolph Hearst, never one to sidestep international tensions, built the hotel back in 1926.
2 Comments »
Any chance he's stayed there before? This is also where the head of Wadiya in that great comedic masterpiece The Dictator stays, so it'd be funny if they chose this hotel specifically to draw that connection.
Comment by Step On My Foot. — October 25, 2012 @ 6:05 am
Great observation, Step. The Iranian delegation stayed at the Warwick in 2011 and then as now caused a big fuss from groups saying New York hotels should deny rooms to the rogue state.

I'm not saying goodbye because I'll still be around.
I may be around the corner, in the corner of your eye or I may come to you in your dreams.
This doesn't just apply to my family, it applies to anyone I ever knew or knew of me. I live on in my videos, in my photos, in memories....in family fur-members, present or future, or even kits that may be named after me. I'll still be here.
But, until we meet again, my furiends...I must go. I must go to where I'll be young again, where I'll be free from pain, where I can eat & eat to my heart's content, and to where I can be with my brofurs again and all that have gone before me. I will be there for those that come after me, greeting them, making them feel comfortable until we all meet again....and we will meet again, I promise you that.
I love you all. Thank you for loving me as you have, for being my furriends and being friends with my momma & daddy.
purrs & hugs, Chip
I know I haven't written in a while and it's not like I have been "sick", but my arthritis, along with all of my other old furt problems has really done a number on me.
Within the past few weeks, I've lost a lot of my balance, muscle mass and strength in my hips & back legs. When I walk, it's not very far and I fall down a lot.
For quite some time I've been getting fluids at home every other day, but also going to the vet once a week for a pain injection that helps my hip paid. The injection lasts about 72 so recently we've been getting it every 5 days.
With all those problems and the fact that I lay in my room and don't move much (not even bothering to get up & go to the litter box), I've let momma & daddy know that I am ready to join my brofurs Ginngie & Sparky at the Bridge.
Sparky mothered me when I was just a kitten, so I've been looking for him since he left here 6 years. I miss him a lot and look forward to catching up with him.
Don't be sad for me because I know I'm going where I will be young & healthy again....and most importantly, pain-free.
Thank you for all who may read this.
Purrs & hugs to all!
well, you guessed it. No, I didn't eat...well not much and Yes, I went back to the vet. I got more fluids and this time I got the wonderful pain shot that lasts for 3 days. Mom & Daddy thought that maybe I needed a little extra help.
I'm liking it a lot, so far. Mom says daddy should be home soon. He's been gone, so mom has been running me to the vet every day.
I know she doesn't like having to take me anymore than I like going, but I still like her to know that I don't like that car ride.
Now, don't think that I didn't attempt to eat today, I did eat a little bit of chicken...at least I made it look like I did and I did eat some of the treats that mom left me before she left this morning.
I'm down to 10.75 lbs, so I guess I better start eating huh?
Maybe I just miss daddy, maybe they never thought of that.

After just two professional games this season, Freddy Adu's Benfica coach Fernando Santos has been sacked. Apparently, a dressing room bust-up with club President Luis Felipe Vieira coupled with a disappointing 1-1 draw with promoted side Leixoes led to the prompt dismissal of both Santos and his assistant Jorge Rosário. Former Spain and Real Madrid coach José António Camacho, who also coached Benfica from 2002-2004, is now the frontrunner to take the job; reports say he could be presented to the public as early as tomorrow. Meanwhile, Fernando Chalana was named interim coach until a replacement is announced.
It will be interesting to see how Santos' sacking affects young American midfielder Adu, who little more than three weeks ago signed with Benfica.
Since then, Santos and Benfica have been very much in the European press, as the continent's biggest clubs will no doubt be interested in seeing how the young American fares in Portugal. Adu made his
debut against FC Copenhagen in a 2-1 Champions League qualifying first-leg victory last week. Santos left him out of this weekend's match against Leixões, explaining that the 18-year-old had only
just arrived at the club and needed rest.
Benfica and Portugal veteran Manuel Rui Costa has also been mentioned as a possible replacement for Santos, but Goal.com said he would most likely
take over as club sporting director sometime next year.

text: Gift, one of the largest in the history of American dance, will create the first new school established through an endowment at USC in nearly 40 years LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Glorya Kaufman, a visionary Los Angeles philanthropist whose commitment to dance is celebrated nationwide, has made a transformational gift to establish the University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121110/DC10099) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120802/DC50841LOGO) Kaufman's gift creates an endowment to support the school's programs in contemporary and classical dance, the recruitment of world-renowned faculty and student scholarships for aspiring dancers. It will also fund construction of the new school's instructional building, the Glorya Kaufman International Dance Center. The USC Kaufman School of Dance is the first school to be established through an endowment at USC in nearly 40 years. It joins USC's five preeminent arts schools — in architecture, cinematic arts, dramatic arts, fine arts and music — which comprise one of the strongest arts offerings in the United States. The university has nearly 6,000 graduate and undergraduate students pursuing degrees in the fine and performing arts. One of the world's top private research universities, USC also offers students a strategic location in Los Angeles, the creative capital of the Pacific Rim. USC has for many years enrolled more international students than any other university in the United States, thus providing unparalleled opportunities for its students to experience other cultures through artistic expression. "Glorya Kaufman's generosity will have a profound impact on the art of dance —not only at USC, but throughout the world," said USC President C. L. Max Nikias. "The university's ambition is to make the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance the most elite on the West Coast and in the Pacific Rim." Elizabeth Garrett, USC provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, said that with her gift: "Ms. Kaufman adds the beauty of dance to USC's expressive range. Ms. Kaufman's name is synonymous throughout the world with dance. Joining the Glorya Kaufman name to a new USC school of dance greatly enhances USC's unique signature as the nation's premier research university with a deep commitment to the arts in all their manifestations. We could not be more proud to begin this historic journey with arts philanthropist, and now Trojan Family member, Glorya Kaufman." By creating the school, Kaufman said she hopes to transform the lives of generations of students as well as the future of dance in Los Angeles and around the world. "I want the school to prepare dancers to be extraordinary performers, to take care of themselves physically and also to have the knowledge to advocate for themselves from a business perspective," she said. " USC provides an exceptional education across the board and will make sure this happens." "Glorya understands the importance and power of dance and dance education more than anyone I know," said Robert Cutietta, dean of the USC Thornton School of Music, who will take on the additional role of inaugural dean of the USC Kaufman School of Dance. "She has an amazing passion for the art form and with her gift she is inspiring generations of dancers who will benefit from her support. "One of the reasons this so exciting is that we get to build this institution from scratch, and ask: What does it mean to be a dancer in the 21st century?"

Both China and the US are urging calm in the new flare-up between the two Koreas, underlining the concern of both powers that the exchange of shelling does not lead to wider hostilities at what appears to be a moment of particular instability within the closed Pyongyang regime.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed the hope that "the relevant parties will do more to contribute to peace and stability in the region", adding that it was "imperative" to restart the stalled six-country negotiations on ending Pyongyang's nuclear programme.
In fact, that is now less likely than ever, not only because of the North's shelling of the South Korean island, but because of the latest evidence of an advanced uranium enrichment facility in the North.
The reaction in Washington to one of the most serious incidents since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War was also measured. President Barack Obama was due to discuss the crisis with South Korea's President Lee Myung-bak. But although the US condemned the attack, the Pentagon gave no indication of any further immediate response.
Nor are more sanctions likely. "It's hard to pile more sanctions upon the North than are already there," a Pentagon spokesman said, noting Pyongyang's long record of unpredictability. "They do things that you could not possibly have predicted in a rational world."
Neither China nor the US has any interest in seeing this latest Korean confrontation spin out of control. Whatever its traditional ties with the regime in Pyongyang, China will seek to avoid antagonising the US, despite the recent frictions between them on trade and currency issues.
North Korea's leader Kim Jong-il has already visited Beijing twice this year to strengthen ties and the isolated North now relies on Chinese economic aid more than ever, given the deterioration in relations with South Korea, further strained by the North's sinking of a South Korean warship in March.
For China's part, the last thing it wants is a collapse of the North Korean regime that would produce a tide of refugees, and almost certainly lead to a re-unified Korea on its north-eastern border, aligned with the West and with 28,000 US troops as well as US nuclear weapons on its soil.
According to Jin Canrong, deputy dean of the Academy of International Relations of Renmin University, North Korea is seeking to force Washington into negotiations. "South Korea will be really angry," he said, "but the South Korea-US side does not have the capacity to punish North Korea".

In fact, I am mean.When I go to the food store, I think mean things about many of the complete strangers I encounter there.

Augustana College
Augustana College is a private, selective liberal arts college located on a 115-acre campus near the Mississippi River in Rock Island, Illinois. Visitors rave about the beautiful wooded campus, with its rolling, river valley landscape and winding pathways along the slough. It truly is an oasis within the city.
Our focus on creating a well-rounded experience for our students has generated an environment of learning that goes way beyond the classroom. From the moment students set foot on campus, we provide them with the tools that will help them be successful here at Augustana and beyond. In addition to working closely with their professors on special projects and research, students will benefit from visiting scholars and lecturers as well as international study opportunities.
The Augustana community offers our students opportunities to be more than scholars, through hundreds of student interest groups and activities, tools and resources to discover their paths in life, and outstanding NCAA Division III athletic programs. In fact, Augustana ranks fifth among all colleges and universities for total number of Academic All-Americans. This environment that cultivates successful students also extends beyond our campus through community programming as well as special networking and social opportunities for our alumni.
