I once wanted a tooth to fall out really badly so I understood how Julian felt. I liked how his dad kept helping him try to get his tooth out, even though using pliers was a little scary. When Julian thought that he looked like a caveman with his loose tooth, it was really funny and it was my favorite part of the story.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to lose a tooth. It might help give you some ideas on how to lose your own own teeth! I also think this book is good for anyone who wants to read something funny. This is a great book!

Newport Considers Alternative Commercial Tax Structure
NEWPORT CITY – Someday commercial property in the designated downtown may be worth more than the buildings that sit on it. During the Dec. 19 Newport City Council meeting, City Manager John Ward Jr. said he, Mayor Paul Monette and Zoning Administrator Paul Dreher met with University of Vermont Professor Gary Flomenhoft to engage with a preliminary study of the potential positive impacts of a Land Value Taxation system as an alternative to the conventional municipal taxation system. At the meeting, the council gave the okay for the free study to continue.As it is now, taxes increase when property owners improve their buildings, but property owners who let their buildings go in disrepair see a decrease in taxes. The intent of a reformed tax structure is to give property owners an incentive to fix up their buildings and not see a tax increase."Some people are holding to their empty store fronts, waiting for the deal of the century," Dreher told the council. "They're (the buildings) appraised at $300,000 and they're going to turn around and sell them two years from now for $10 or $11 million when the biotech is in place. They don't have any incentive to do anything with the properties because their taxes are so low."Communities elsewhere in the United Sates that have done this have seen improved economic development and healthy growth, Dreher said. The problem with the proposed taxing system is that it is not legal in Vermont, at least not yet. Dreher has asked the Department of Housing and Community Affairs to look into changing legislation. Smart Growth Vermont and the Vermont Land Conservancy will strategize with Newport. The UVM Department of Applied Economics will do the research at no cost."The state wants to change the policy," said Dreher. "It's a win-win for everybody."The legislature will probably not take up the issue until at least the 2013 session.If passed, Newport could become a pilot city for the system. The new taxation system would not affect non-commercial properties in residential areas.

Download the authoritative guide: Cloud Computing 2019: Using the Cloud for Competitive Advantage
Research companies are now starting to report on the numbers for revenue and unit sales of wireless LAN products for the first quarter of 2003. So far the worldwide totals are showing low growth in revenue due to the price declines we've come to love and that the companies can't avoid. But that growth might have turned into a loss if it hadn't been for one company: Linksys.
Both Dell'Oro Group and Synergy Research Group have Linksys pegged as the overall winner for Q1. Dell'Oro's 1Q03 Quarterly Wireless LAN Report says the provider of home and small business networking products jumped up 18% from the final quarter of 2002; Synergy's Worldwide Market Shares report has the Linksys growth even higher at 26.1%.
With sales according to Synergy for the quarter at $81 million dollars (up from $64 million during last years holiday season), Linksys not only is the top SOHO WLAN equipment provider, it's the number one money maker overall. It's even beating enterprise equipment provider Cisco Systems with $68 million in revenue for the quarter.
This, of course, is great news for Cisco: they are buying Linksys, an acquisition that should be finalized before the end of the year. Cisco is still number one in the enterprise market, up from this time last year but down 0.4% from Q4 2002.
"[Linksys's] aggressive pricing, rebates, and more fueled the great quarter," says Aaron Vance, analyst at Synergy. "They were first to market with 802.11g and were aggressive with pricing." While the 11g products -- based on the draft for the 802.11g specification -- didn't ship in the same quantities as the slower but better known 802.11b, he says it helped push the prices on 11b products down even more.
"If you add [Cisco and Linksys] together, you can see what that acquisition is going to do to Cisco's market share. They'll be on top on the high end, the low end, and overall," says Vance.
Other changes for companies according to Synergy's worldwide numbers include revenue growth for enterprise vendor Avaya (up 61% to $10.3 million) and 3Com (up 7% to $15.1 million), but a 14% decrease for Enterasys.
On the SOHO side, D-Link had been bolstered by its final quarter last year, coming within just four-tenths of Linksys's 21% marketshare, but Linksys shattered that for 2003 so far. Linksys commands 27.9% of the market share revenue, followed by Buffalo Technology at 15.9%, D-Link at 15.7%, and Netgear at 15%. (A large amount of the SOHO market -- almost 20% of the revenue -- is taken up by the category of "other" which Vance says are companies that do not report their sales numbers to the researchers, such as Microsoft.)
D-Link's slip in the rank comes with a slip in revenue (down 7.7% to $45.8 million) -- though to show how slippery the numbers truly are, Dell'Oro says the company gained 6%.
In Voice over IP WLAN products (wireless phones), Synergy says Spectralink continues to dominate in a field where only it and Symbol Technologies have been players. Look for that to change by the end of the year as Cisco, NEC, and others have announced 802.11-based phones.
"I would think Cisco would be competitive out of the gate, but they won't shoot into number one," says Vance. "Spectralink has key relationships with other vendors... they'll be the top player in handset for most of 2003."
You know who's number one. But who's the best? And will they always be? Join us at the 802.11 Planet Conference & Expo, June 25 - 27, 2003 at the World Trade Center Boston in Boston, MA. Synergy Research's Aaron Vance and other analysts will be joining us for a session that examines The State of the WLAN Equipment Market.

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT), the world's largest software maker, announced a new $40 billion stock buyback plan and increased its dividend 22%, seeking to reward shareholders at a tumultuous time for the company.
The repurchase program, which has no expiration date, replaces another $40 billion buyback plan that was due to lapse at the end of this month, Microsoft said today in a statement. The company's quarterly dividend will rise to 28 cents a share, payable on Dec. 12 to shareholders of record as of Nov. 21.
The move is a step in the right direction for investors, though the open-ended schedule for the new buyback plan raises questions, said Matthew Hedberg, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets in Minneapolis. The company has come under pressure from activist investor ValueAct Holdings LP, which pushed Microsoft to return more money to shareholders, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
"What would be more interesting is if they put more parameters on the timing of the buyback -- sooner is better than later," said Hedberg, who has a neutral rating on Microsoft. "The dividend is more material because it's incremental to their existing dividend."
Microsoft shares rose 1.5% to $33.29 at 9:41 a.m. in New York. The stock had added 23% this year through yesterday.
Tops Estimates
The new 28-cent dividend tops the 26 cents estimated by analysts, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"These actions reflect a continued commitment to returning cash to our shareholders," Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood said in today's statement.
After struggling to keep up with rivals in the smartphone and tablet markets, Microsoft is retooling its strategy and seeking a new chief executive officer. Steve Ballmer, who has run the company since 2000, announced plans last month to retire when a replacement is found. The company also agreed to buy Nokia Oyj's phone business for $7.2 billion, aiming to bolster its position in mobile devices.
Microsoft signed a pact last month to cooperate with ValueAct, saying it would hold regular meetings with the firm's president, Mason Morfit. Under the agreement, ValueAct also has the option of having Morfit become a director beginning at the first quarterly board meeting of 2014.
Apple's Payout
The size of the buyback eclipses most repurchase programs, though it's smaller than the $50 billion plan announced by Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in April. That company is authorized to repurchase a total of $60 billion in stock. Including dividends, Cupertino, California-based Apple expects to dole out $100 billion in shareholder rewards by 2015.
Microsoft is grappling with a shift from the personal- computer market -- where its Windows and Office software is dominant -- to mobile and Web-based applications. While Microsoft's traditional products remain profitable, its expansion into new areas hasn't gained as much traction.
The company said in July that its online-services business, largely advertising revenue from Bing search engine and other online properties, posted an operating loss of $1.28 billion in the fiscal year ended June 30.
Earlier today Microsoft unveiled a redesigned Bing website, aiming to gain ground on Google Inc., the leading search engine.

Sarah Jessica Parker, (born March 25, 1965, Nelsonville, Ohio, U.S.), American actress who was perhaps best known for her role on the television series Sex and the City (1998–2004).
Parker took ballet and acting classes as a child, and at age 11 she moved with her family to New York City so that she and her siblings could pursue careers in entertainment. In 1978 she landed the lead role in Broadway's Annie, and she stayed with the musical for some three years. Other stage work followed, and in 1979 she made her film debut in Rich Kids. In 1982 Parker portrayed a high-school nerd in the television series Square Pegs. Although the show lasted only one season, it developed a cultlike following and led to several film offers, including Footloose (1984) and Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1985). Parker continued her work in the theatre, appearing in The Heidi Chronicles (1989); The Substance of Fire (1991); Sylvia (1995), for which she earned critical praise for her portrayal of a dog; and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1996). In the latter play she appeared with her longtime boyfriend, Matthew Broderick; the couple married in 1997.
In 1991 Parker's film career received a boost with her performance opposite Steve Martin as the bouncy SanDeE* in L.A. Story. Other movies quickly followed, notably Honeymoon in Vegas (1992), Ed Wood (1994), and The First Wives Club (1996), but the roles failed to establish Parker as a leading lady. That changed, however, with Sex and the City. Premiering in 1998, the series, inspired by the best-selling book by Candace Bushnell, brought Parker unprecedented attention. The show centred on four friends—Carrie Bradshaw (played by Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis)—searching for Mr. Right in New York City. Broadcast on the cable channel HBO, the series became a pop culture phenomenon with its uncensored, humorous, and, at times, risqué look at the lives of thirtysomethings. Parker's comedic and compassionate performance as relationship columnist Carrie won numerous honours, including Emmy Awards (2001, 2004) and Golden Globe Awards (2000–02, 2004).
After Sex and the City ended in 2004, she starred in such movies as The Family Stone (2005) and the romantic comedy Failure to Launch (2006). Parker later reprised her role as Carrie in the film versions of Sex and the City (2008 and 2010). In 2009 she starred with Hugh Grant in Did You Hear About the Morgans?, a comedy about a married couple who enter a witness-protection program after seeing a murder. She later appeared as an overworked mother in the comedy I Don't Know How She Does It (2011) and provided the voice of an alien in the animated Escape from Planet Earth (2013). In 2016 Parker returned to HBO with a starring role in the comedy series Divorce, in which she played a wife and mother who decides to end her marriage.
An avid reader, Parker launched the book imprint SJP for Hogarth in the 2010s. She served as the editorial director and focused on literary fiction. Her imprint's first release was Fatima Farheen Mirza's novel A Place for Us (2018).

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
Season lamb osso bucco liberally with salt and pepper and set aside on a plate. In a heavy-bottomed roasting pan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil on stove top. Carefully place the osso bucco in the hot roasting pan and sear all sides, until nicely browned. Once seared on all sides, remove from pan and set back onto plate. Using the same pot with the lamb drippings in the bottom, add carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Saute for approximately 10 minutes using a wooden spoon to scrape the lamb drippings off the bottom of the pan and to caramelize the vegetables. Once caramelized, add tomato paste, coat the vegetables with the paste, and brown slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the drippings off the bottom of pan using a wooden spoon. Reduce the wine by half and add the Lamb Stock and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Place the seared osso bucco back into the pan. Change to high heat and once the stock starts to boil, put roasting pan into the oven. Cook the osso bucco for about 2 hours until it is fork tender, almost falling off the bone. You will want to turn the osso bucco every half hour so that it cooks evenly and does not burn on the bottom.
When finished, take the lamb out of the sauce and set aside. In a blender, blend the sauce until the vegetables are pureed. Place about a 1/4 cup of sauce into the bottom of each serving bowl, top with osso bucco and drizzle with a little more sauce. It is best served with roasted carrots, onions, and potatoes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large roasting pan, roast lamb bones in the oven until dark brown. On a sheet tray, roast carrots, celery, and onion in the oven until browned as well. Place the bones and vegetables in a 4-gallon stock pot. Add 2 gallons cold water, salt and pepper, and bay leaves, if desired. Bring to a boil over high heat and then turn down to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer for 4 to 5 hours to get the best results.
If using lamb base, roast vegetables as explained above. In a 4-gallon stock pot, add 2 gallons water and whisk in lamb base. Add the roasted vegetables and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 1 hour.

Finding an African American who will criticize President Barack Obama and take him to task for what he promised to do and did not while playing golf…is like finding someone who hates oxygen. ..Okay well there is me, Afrocity and Alan West, Michael Steel.
Okay, Okay let me correct my statement.
Finding an African American who VOTED for Obama and now will openly criticize his job performance is like finding a tax cut in a Congressional law proposed by a Democrat.
Seriously, after listening to many black acquaintances saying things like "Those white boyz are out to get President Obama" and "White people are setting 'our boy' up to fail so we won't never have another black president", I am beginning to think that black liberals do not think critically about political issues beyond race and ethnicity. The legacy of African Americans and the Democratic Party is a nearly 50 years long one. Previous to that, most blacks in America were Republicans. Presently with the unwavering black allegiance to Party of Ass, it makes one wonder what sort of pact with the devil did the liberals make to get one entire race to become so politically myopic?
If we thought blacks were against diversity of opinion when it comes to politics then- believe me, the problem was further exacerbated when "first African American" Barack Obama took the throne in 2009.
Who cares that the man who would be president is spinning fairy donkey tales on Kool Aid Mountain?
Who cares that this man has a questionable background, a record of voting present, a string of sullied associates?
Who cares that the man's only true accomplishment is campaigning, being elected and before he can finish the job in one office, he runs for another?
You cannot do that with the Presidency of the United States.
"World King" is fortunately not a job that currently exists. But if it did, you can bet that Barack Obama would campaign and run for it.
What Barry does not understand is that somewhere over the hope and change rainbow, after the campaigning, adulation and applause, lies a little reality called winning the election and being expected to "work". W-O-R-K . Not campaigning some more, going to play golf, flying in Air Force One, partying with Jay-Z and Beyonce, whining that everything is Bush's fault and the Republicans are out to get you…but work.
African Americans elected 95% for Barack Obama and despite his mediocre performance and lack of ability to turn the economy around, he is still their man.
Except for one brave woman who stood up against Obama in a townhall meeting, you would be challenged to find an Obama supporter who dared to utter anything but undying praise for the first black president.
Thank you Velma Hart for possessing the courage to say what I wish many African Americans would say to Barack Obama.
Of course to many liberals, Velma Hart could not exist. Someone missed their dose of Kool Aid better call the "hope medics". She had to be a conservative plant.
Sorry Dr. Hill, Velma Hart was not a plant but you may be happy to hear that she was FIRED from her job this week.
From this story at Fox News:
Woman 'Exhausted' Defending Obama Loses Job
November 23, 2010
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The woman who told President Barack Obama that she was "exhausted" from defending him and his economic policies and waiting for the change she expected after voting for him has another reason to be put out: She's lost her job.
Velma Hart, the chief financial officer
for Am Vets, a veteran services organization based in Maryland, said Monday in an interview with CNBC that she was laid off as part of the nonprofit's effort to cut expenses.
"I want to focus on the positive and be optimistic," said Hart, who lives in Upper Marlboro, Md. "And assume that somehow things will work out, that there's an opportunity out there with Velma's name on it that's right around the corner."
Am Vets executive director Jim King told The Washington Post that the nonprofit was looking for ways to survive financially.
"It's not anything she did," King told the Post for a story that appeared online Monday. "She got bit by the same snake that has bit a lot of people. It was a move to cut our bottom line."
"…She got bit by the same snake…"???
Or perhaps you omitted the likely truth? That Velma Hart got bit by the snake she asked for a refund after he sold oil to her that did not do what it claimed to do?
Velma Hart, Juan Williams and the list of African Americans who speak out against liberal policies and lose their jobs will grow.
I thought the end of slavery meant freedom of ideas?
How can anyone say that there is an achievement gap between blacks an whites when it is self imposed primarily because we are aligning ourselves with a party that places a footprint in our butts whenever we speak out against it?
That is not freedom.
Allen West (R-FL) was just elected to congress on November 2nd. Allen West is black. Now Allen West is being branded as "wingnut" by mainstream media.
Here is another video about West. Notice the title of the video. West preaches hate.
"Wingnut" will soon get downgraded to "Uncle Tom". This is how the left treats anyone of color- especially blacks -that deviate from the liberal agenda. Choice equates freedom. This is why I am actually a Republican but also pro-choice. I also believe that political choice equates freedom.
More African Americans should continue to speak out against the liberal agenda and how our schools are still failing, our kids are still dying and how the Democrats have not stopped it one bit. It is not a question of what a political party can do for us. It is a question of realizing that our destiny remains entirely up to us and if we want to be taken seriously, we have to stop blindly supporting a party that takes our vote for granted.
Unfortunately, we punish anyone within our race that asks "Why are we jumping off this mountain just because a Democrat told us to?"
And that my friends is slavery. It does not matter what color our president is.

Scarlett Johansson Naked Cell Phone Pics Leaked
Posted September 14, 2011 in Celeb Jihad, Nude Celebs, Scarlett Johansson
Oh no! Naked pictures of actress Scarlett Johansson have leaked to the Internet. Apparently Scarlett Johansson is "devastated" and is claiming a mean old "hacker" stole these naked pictures off her cell phone.
There is no way a fame hungry celebrity like Scarlett Johansson would leak these strategically shot nude pics herself to increase her notoriety. It must of been a hacker who plugged in to the mainline Internet and hacked his way through the World Wide Webs to Scarlett Johansson's cell phone, and then download these nude photos of Scarlett onto a fancy flash drive before skateboarding off into the night.

A school has banned triangular flapjacks after a pupil was injured by one.
Dinner staff at Castle View school in Canvey Island, Essex, were told to cut the treat into squares or rectangles following the incident.
It is understood that the triangular version was banned after one was thrown, hitting a boy in the face.
Essex county council said the ban was "not a county council decision" but confirmed the incident and the decision on behalf of the school.
A spokesman for Castle View school said: "I can confirm that the texture and shape of the flapjacks were reviewed following an isolated accident last week."

LIANA LOZADA | August 19, 2013 |
People The Latest
JennyLee Molina, a PR pro with her own boutique firm, started the 3:05 Cafecito initiative.
JennyLee Molina calls Cuban-style espresso, (aka cafecito), "Miami's nectar." This powerful pick-me-up is essential to many Miami residents' daily lives, but for Molina, a Cuban-American Miami native, cafecito symbolizes culture and community. "I grew up having coffee in my milk as early as 8-years-old," explains Molina. "My mom would stop for a huge café con leche on my way to school. I remember my dad drinking his coffee at least twice a day. It's definitely embedded in my cultural DNA."
What's also embedded in Molina's DNA is brand-building. Molina runs her own boutique public relations firm, JLPR Fittingly, a business meeting sprouted her 3:05 Cafecito initiative, which urges locals to adopt 3:05 p.m. as their official coffee break time, thus nodding the city's area code. The concept has caught on, fueled primarily by social media and a #305cafecito hashtag. Back in April, Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado declared 3:05 p.m. "Miami's Official Cafecito Break Time."
With August marking National Coffee Month, Molina chatted with us about her dream coffee date and favorite coffee spots.
How was 3:05 Cafecito born?
JENNYLEE MOLINA: The idea came to me on April 3, 2012. I had a meeting with Amin De Jesus, one of my go-to creatives and just as 305-centric as I am. After lunching on Lincoln Road, we walked over to David's Cafe on Meridian [now closed] and ordered a cafecito. When I looked at the time, it was exactly 3:05 p.m. and the light bulb went off! I took a picture of my Miami nectar and tweeted it with #305cafecito, proclaiming 3:05 p.m. as Miami's new official cafecito break.
Is your hope to make this as culturally ubiquitous as say, high tea or siesta?
JM: For me, 3:05 p.m. is the perfect time of day. It is that line of demarcation between crazy mornings, rushing to lunches, and the onset of after work planning. It's the precursor to my second wind and the only real time I have to stop and smell the cafecito during non-stop days. I wanted to unify the Cuban coffee culture and create an online community that would enjoy sharing this mutual love for Miami's nectar. A Cuban restaurant's coffee window is the original social network.
Break down the perfect cafecito.
JM: Start brewing some espresso, put sugar into a carafe, and then let the first drips of that espresso fall onto the sugar. Let the rest of the coffee drip into another empty carafe. Go back to that sugar-coffee mix and whip it vigorously into a paste. It should result in a rich, smooth espresso paste. The remaining espresso is added to this paste and mixed, creating a light brown foam layer, or espumita, atop the coffee. It's all about the espumita.
When did you learn how to make Cuban coffee?
JM: My dad taught me how when I turned 10. His friends would joke, 'You can get married now!' Apparently, making good Cuban coffee is a prerequisite for marriage.
Favorite places to have afternoon coffee.
JM: I love Lincoln Road. Nothing like sipping on South Beach and being on your way in the sun. I also love Little Havana for its authenticity, cute shops, and art galleries.
Dream cafecito date.
JM: I would love to have cafecito with Oprah. I really admire her and her successful career. And with Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS Shoes; I admire what he's contributed to the world. Oh, and can I sneak Robert Downey, Jr. and Lenny Kravitz in there, too?

As a BE speaker, I consider of to be redundant after off.
Student or Learner
Is this "of" necessary here or redundant? Does it mean "from"?
33)Indoor soccer usually includes four or five players per team plus the goalkeeper. The size of the field is small, and is about the size of a basketball court. There are walls on all four sides of the field, and players may kick and play the ball off of the walls if they choose. Each player has a lot of contact with the ball, and has a better chance to improve his or her speed and
As a BE speaker, I consider of to be redundant after off.
And here's an extract from Grammar Girl Presents the Ultimate Writing Guide for Students written by a speaker of American English who considers 'of' after 'off' to be superfluous as well:
You may be shocked, but it's true that you don't need of to follow off. The of is unnecessary fluff.
Get your feet off of the couch.

truth hurts doesn't it
3. HTCiscool (Posts: 449; Member since: 16 Jul 2011)
Agreed, but I think its a good phone, but the EVO 3D is better... Cuz its got gingerbread and sense UI. I can't beleive LG is still dishing out froyo droids when ICS is iminnent. They do however make cheap, sexy phones which aren't actually that bad.
5. baldilocks (Posts: 1397; Member since: 14 Dec 2008)
It showing up on Radio Shack Ads on your OWN website for $79.99.
7. Appoid (Posts: 13; Member since: 08 Aug 2011)
Lg tries to make good devices, but face it their hardware sucks, no matter how impressive they try and make their UI (if you even consider it to be impressive), they make a crappy plastic shell, when they start using premium materials they might get some revenue.

Remember though the Thrill will be the only phone with dual core cpu/ dual channel ram and graphix. The evo only got dual core cpu. So at the time when it comes out the thrill will be the only phone with all that... And at that time if u have AT&T the 2 best phones they have will be the Thrill and the Samsung Infuse, witch also the Infuse is their fastest phone in terms of HSPA+ speeds and only one they have with a 1.2ghz cpu even though its only single core its super fast. And as stated the Thrill will be their most powerfull phone at time of release. Actuly the most power phone the U.S has cause no others have dual everything. And if u noticed in the pic i sent in it only says android not a version number, the reason for the delay may be because so many people were complaining that it was commin with 2.2 so they may have held it back to change it to 2.3 witch would be awesome. But right now nno one knows but it will be here in less than 2 weeks and we will find out, hopefull we will get more answeres befor then. Dont get me wrong i love HTC i was buyin them befor people knew what they were i actuly had the first few HTC released in the US and loved em no look at them basicly the best phone maker there is. still have my orginal FUZE and TILT sittin here on my desk haha.... but I also have AT&T and dont like ne of the HTCs they have right now so im def grabin the Thrill when it comes out. ILL always love windows and think its the best to use so what id really like to see is a nice 4G windows 7 mango phone with 3D and 4.5 inch screen and maby slide out keyboard so u have use of the whole screen and there u go full fledge portable PC. I think in the end windows may take top spot in this game even more so once windows 8 is out and windows phone 8 is out with full LTE kickin 100mbs with phones with 4.5/4.7/5.0/5.3 inch screens...

No matter how hard I try, I can't find a way to use three Nexus 4 phones. Maybe a radioactive spider will bite me one day and it will be possible, but for now I have one Nexus 4 too many. That means this little fellow has to find a new home.
Ideally, we're looking for someone who will love him forever and feed him every day (he likes Apples). If this sounds like you, apply by leaving a comment below. At midnight Pacific, I'll kill the comments and pick a winner. Good luck, and #HOLOYOLO.

Shelter in Place
During certain emergency situations, particularly chemical releases, radioactive material releases and some weather emergencies, you may be advised to "Shelter in Place" rather than evacuate the building.
- Go or stay inside the building.
- Do not use elevators.
- Shut and lock all windows and doors.
- Turn off the heat, air conditioning or ventilation system, if you have local controls for these systems.
- Close fireplace dampers.
- Quickly locate supplies you may need, e.g., food, water, radio, etc.
- If possible, go a room or corridor where there are no windows.
- If possible, monitor for additional information via the main University web page at http://www.rochester.edu, radio, or television for further instructions.
- Do not call 911 unless you are reporting a life-threatening situation.
Additional steps to be taken if materials are available:
- In the event of a chemical, biological or radioactive material release requiring Shelter-in-Place, seal doors and windows with duct tape and/or plastic sheeting.
- Cover cracks under doors with damp towels.
When the "all clear" is announced
- Open windows and doors.
- Turn on heating, air conditioning or ventilation system.
- Go outside and wait until the building has been vented.

Elie.nino necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 84 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Naouri Group
A group of companies (similar in concept to holding companies)
Provides services in a number of industries, mostly in shipping and logistics, and travel and tourism, but also in a few other ones
Main activities are in Jordan and Iraq, but due to the nature of its services (shipping, traveling, etc.), we have agents worldwide
Our slogan is "One Group, One Answer", referring to the wide range of services we can provide to our clients
We have a strong corporate social responsibility division
1. Potential international business partners and agents (shipping lines, airlines, tour operators, etc.) that we can develop our business with. We expect them to check our website as part of their due diligence process. We want to reflect professionalism, dependability, large size and capabilities, success, best choice, etc.
2. Local large clients who want to know more about us and our services. Also part of their due diligence. We want to reflect being a single solution for many services, trustworthy, large size, professionalism
Simple, easy to navigate, straight to the point
Our fields are very competitive and the corporations we are trying to contact are targeted by many other competitors, so it is important to us to convey a professional image that delivers the fact that we are one of the largest, professional and most prestigious groups, and the website will help to make us stand out from other competitors in the early stages of contact and cooperation. A "grand" and impressive theme will be most preferred.
Our companies compete amongst each others, so it is important not to mention the names or the logos of the entities we represent as the website will be shared with all of them.
The content of the website will be mostly narrative, however, attractive aspects will be very good in order to make it more attractive and interesting to browse. A nice idea would be is having a remarkable flash banner introducing our services, awards and network to give a brief about our group in general and make it easier for people to recognize our scope of work.
Note: the flsh will be done by the website developer and is not requested as part of the design
Page 1: Home Page:
Our group logo has been attached
Our basic theme color is in Navy Blue, however, new color scheme are needed that will go with the logo.
The color scheme should be prepare to present a prestigious look to the website
It will contain the tabs linking the homepage to the remaining content of the website, mainly the following
• Overview
• Our Mission
• Our Vision
• Message from the Chairman
• Locations
• Shipping
• Logistics
• Travel and Tourism
• Quality Control
• Security
• Agriculture
• Trading
• Financial Services
• Insurance
A simple and nice-to-look-at flash banner is needed to display our latest services/products/etc.., (will be done by the website developer, not requested as part of the design)
The following tabs are needed:
• search tab
• language selection drop- down-menu
• sitemap
• Latest news banner should be present with a link to the full text
Page 2:
This will be the template the remaining pages (the links) will be based on, where the description of the services offered will be elaborated, the mission and vision, etc..
The content of these pages will be mostly as text so the designs should be visually impressive in order to attract the reader to the material
Currently Offline

Was thinking about a relatively easy DIY project for my E92 one of these weekends.....
Would rather have the opinion of none owners (been on the forums reading what people who've bought these have been saying), who haven't seen these before. What's your first opinion?
I'm leaning towards either:
M3 lip (the small lip spoiler) + roof spoiler:
"vacuumed" lip spoiler:
I'm thinking the roof spoiler + a larger spoiler would be too much bling? Any dissenters?

..Digital Video Artist..
My art is presented in four forms, all of which originate
from moving pictures. The three static, or stationary, forms my art takes
Please keep in mind that all my images are frozen from moving video,
having been created while on-screen. Each frozen image is then electronically
transferred to whatever final form it is best suited to.
1. IMAGE-TO-CANVAS An image-to-canvas is limited in number to
one. It is a ONE-OF-A-KIND. The negative is then marked to ensure no duplications
will be produced.
2. IMAGE-TO-TRANSPARENCY An image to transparency is also limited
to one. After it has been enlarged to its chosen size, it is mounted on
Plexiglass and laminated. A lightbox is then custom built to fit the lens.
When illuminated, the image appears like a still picture on a television
screen. Its effect can be quite dramatic.
3. IMAGE-TO-PAPER The image to paper is, in essence, a VIDEOGRAPH . It is drymounted on acid-free board or masonite
and laminated. It is signed and numbered.
Although the limitation on the number of duplications may go as high
as fifty, I prefer to keep my art images to one-out-of-one.
My interest in producing artistic works is to consistently bring out
new and different images for art enthusiasts to enjoy and collect. I have
no desire to keep repeating and reproducing images that I've already created.
The fourth form of my art is really where the works all start from. This
is moving VIDEO ART. Created on videotape, it is viewed as Art-In-Motion.
The images may change shape and colour from one moment to the next.
In viewing art in this form, I am able to introduce sound to the viewer's
senses, be it music, sound effects, or a combination. This has a direct
effect on the viewer's perception of what they are seeing. The same picture
seen a second time, but with a drastically altered soundtrack, will almost
always be perceived differently.
I try in all my videos to have original scores composed for each piece.
As you watch, the soundtrack often tends to follow the action of the picture.
Custom work can be done on request. Simply send me your videotape with
a description of the kinds of images you would like to see created. I will
return the tape when I am finished along with a number of proofs. Contact
me by phone, fax, or e-mail and let me know your preferences. Details can
be worked out at that time.
My hope is that the artwork and information in this web page will help
you understand some of what can be, and has been created, with video in
art. Although the images you will see are mostly static, in video they are
always moving, always changing, always going forward. These are what I consider
to be some of the best images of my videoart pieces. I will let you be the
As the viewer you, of course, have the final say in how you will view
each page.

Earlier this month, the United Nations released its 2014 Millennium Development Goals Report, which brought to light the harsh reality of extreme poverty that still exists around the world.
While the world has made progress in eradicating poverty, the report noted that one in five people in developing regions continue to live on less than the international poverty threshold of $1.25 a day.
The poor are concentrated in two regions: sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, where 48 percent and 30 percent of their populations, respectively, are living below the poverty line.
Read MorePriciest city also among the poorest
Even China, known for its stellar economic progress and rapidly-growing wealth, continues to see 12 percent of the population live in extreme poverty.
For a glimpse of what living on $1.25 a day means, we sourced images from around the world to see what food it can buy. Here's what we found out.

WASHINGTON, April 3 (UPI) -- President Barack Obama will tell journalists in a speech the House-passed Republican budget goes against American values of fairness, the White House said.
The plan -- which passed 228 to 191 Thursday, with no Democratic votes and 10 Republican defections -- gives millionaires and billionaires "a massive tax cut" paid for by "ending Medicare as we know it," the White House said after the vote.
Obama will tell the American Society of News Editors convention in Washington Tuesday the nation can't afford to go down that road, administration officials told reporters.
Obama's luncheon talk -- continuing themes he advanced in a Osawatomie, Kan., speech in December and in his State of the Union address in January -- was to begin at 12:30 p.m. EDT, the White House said Monday night. It was to be followed by questions and answers.
The GOP plan, introduced by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., would turn the Medicare government insurance program for Americans age 65 and older into a subsidized set of private insurance plans, with an option letting current Medicare recipients buy into the existing fee-for-service program. Medicare's budget would be cut $205 billion below Obama's budget through 2022.
Other health programs, including Medicaid for low-income people and people with disabilities, would be cut $770 billion.
Entitlement programs -- including welfare, food stamps, agriculture subsidies and transportation -- would be cut nearly $2 trillion.
Ryan said after his plan passed it would be an asset to the GOP's presidential nominee because it shows what the party would do with control of Congress and the White House.
"People deserve to be spoken to like adults," Ryan sad.
Front-running Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney endorsed the Ryan plan.
Obama planned to tell the editors, producers or news directors Tuesday -- the day of three primaries that could make Romney the presumptive nominee -- that if a future Republican president enacts a budget that resembles Ryan's plan, middle-class Americans would be hit especially hard, and the fragile economic recovery could stall, the officials said Monday.
"Should we ask middle-class Americans to pay even more at a time when their budgets are already stretched to the breaking point? Or should we ask some of the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share?" Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address, foreshadowing his Tuesday address.
"For too long, the U.S. tax code has benefited the wealthy and well-connected at the expense of the vast majority of Americans," the White House Web site says under the headline "Restoring Fairness."
"That's why President Obama has successfully fought to cut taxes for middle class families and small businesses. And it's why he has called for reforming our tax code and closing tax loopholes for millionaires and billionaires as well as hedge fund managers, private jet owners and oil companies," the Web site says.
Obama was expected to say Tuesday tax-system fairness includes implementing the so-called Buffett Rule, scheduled to be voted on this month in the Senate, where Democrats are the majority party.
The rule, named after billionaire U.S. investor Warren Buffett, would seek to ensure that people earning more than $1 million a year pay a minimum effective tax rate of at least 30 percent, "implemented in a way that is equitable, including not disadvantaging individuals who make large charitable contributions," the White House said.
"The wealthiest Americans are paying taxes at one of the lowest rates in 50 years. Warren Buffett is paying a lower rate than his secretary," Obama said Saturday.
"Do we want to keep giving tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans like me, or Warren Buffett, or Bill Gates -- people who don't need them and never asked for them?" Obama said. "Or do we want to keep investing in things that will grow our economy and keep us secure? Because we can't afford to do both."
"Now, some people call this class warfare," Obama said, disputing Republicans' claims he was practicing the politics of division. "But I think asking a billionaire to pay at least the same tax rate as his secretary is just common sense. We don't envy success in this country. We aspire to it. But we also believe that anyone who does well for themselves should do their fair share in return, so that more people have the opportunity to get ahead -- not just a few."

Silver Lake is the global leader in technology investing, with about $45.5 billion in combined assets under management and committed capital and a team of approximately 100 investment and value creation professionals located around the world. Dedicated to the thesis that the dynamism and rapid pace of innovation in global technology demand intensely focused domain expertise, Silver Lake differentiates itself from generalist investment firms by devoting its full scope of talent and intellectual capital to the singular mission of investing in the world's leading technology companies and tech-enabled businesses. Applying the strategic insights of an experienced industry participant, the operating skill of a world-class management team, and the investing capabilities of a leading private equity firm, Silver Lake leverages the deep knowledge and expertise of a global team based in Silicon Valley, New York, London and Hong Kong.
Unparalleled Technology Sector Expertise
Applying an analytically rigorous and data-focused approach, Silver Lake invests strategically and selectively across the broad value chain and sub-verticals of the technology industry, from semiconductors, cloud computing, and IT infrastructure to tech-enabled financial markets, transaction processing, mobile communications, and e-commerce.
Launched in 1999 as a specialist firm focused on private technology company investments, Silver Lake has maintained its strategic discipline since its founding but has expanded its sector expertise to encompass four primary investment strategies:
Investing in Market Leaders Positioned for Dynamic Growth
Leveraging a deep network of relationships throughout the global technology industry, Silver Lake seeks to cultivate proprietary or specialized investment opportunities not typically available to generalist investors. Silver Lake's ideal target company has a leading position in its market, a competitively advantaged business model, a strong management team, proprietary core technologies, sound business processes, and the potential for transformational value creation. The firm seeks to formulate its investments to enable growth and frequently employs conservative capital structures designed to drive aggressive investment in new initiatives, innovation, and business expansion. Today Silver Lake's portfolio of investments collectively generates more than $225 billion of revenue annually and employs more than 390,000 people globally.
Partnership with Premier Management Teams
Partnering with proven leaders drawn from across the global technology industry and tech-enabled businesses, Silver Lake and its portfolio company management teams work in concert to establish and sustain differentiated competitive advantage in their respective markets. Seeking to capitalize on innovative or disruptive business models, Silver Lake and its management partners aim to achieve performance metrics that are not dependent on prevailing macroeconomic conditions. Silver Lake believes that its portfolio companies interact with nearly every sizeable participant in the technology value chain, providing access, relationships, and insights across all sub-sectors of their opportunity set.
Value Creation Driven Through Strategic and Operational Discipline
Building upon a commitment to enhance the operational performance of its portfolio companies that has been a hallmark of the firm since its inception, Silver Lake has built a dedicated value creation team with extensive operating experience around the world, including professionals drawn from some of the largest and most successful companies in the global technology industry. The value creation and investment teams work collaboratively with Silver Lake's portfolio companies to introduce new products and services, enter new global markets, launch new strategic partnerships, and expand the international network of relationships available to management. The value creation team also works closely with Silver Lake's investment professionals to assist in the due diligence and evaluation of prospective investment opportunities, offering deep knowledge of a specific sub-sector or technology. Silver Lake believes its value creation initiatives have been essential drivers of past performance and will remain central to its differentiated, specialist investment strategy.
Founded in 1999, Silver Lake is a pioneer in private technology investing. Today Silver Lake's portfolio of investments collectively generates more than $225 billion of revenue annually and employs more than 390,000 people globally.

Ava is our first thumb sucker and I absolutely love it. It is the cutest thing ever and super convenient to have her sooth herself instead of me having to give her the binki a million times. But mostly it's just adorable.
Tyler still falls asleep in super weird places. One day my kids will stop napping, right?
So spring break came and I was super sad that we didn't plan a trip and go somewhere warm! Boo. The weather wasn't great, but we had a fun week anyway. Lunch at Chick-Fil-A, swimming at the Orem Rec Center, playing on the playground at the Provo Rec Center, movie in the theater with friends, and who knows what else. I can't remember.
Ava with her cousin Rayne, who is 4 months younger, and such a teeny tiny baby.
Mckinley is seriously so gung ho about holidays, it's a little intense. She has so many ideas and plans and hopes and dreams for every holiday. I do what I can, but she is always disappointed because I never do enough. We did make these no bake cookies with jelly beans to look like eggs in a bird's nest. Last year we added peeps to them as well but decided to skip those this year.
We finally got some outdoor furniture! Talk about eating with a view! It has been so fun to eat meals out on the deck.
Mckinley learned how to ride a bike! She is loving it! She learned so quick and it was a lot better of an experience than I imagined it would be. We have spent a lot of time at the park where she loves to ride around the mile long loop with Brandon.
Ava grabbing Brandon's cheeks! She is the cutest funnest baby ever and we all just adore her.
Look at that beautiful babe! Ava has been so awesome lately. She's a great sleeper, great eater, and so much happier during the day. We are all just loving her so much.
Kallie drew a picture of Mckinley. So sweet! Mckinley continues to be an amazing artist. Like so good it's almost scary. Kallie is getting quite good too and I feel bad but I rarely take pictures of anything they draw, there is just so much of it all around the house!
Ava turned 6 months old last week so we started feeding her rice cereal. She doesn't seem interested yet but I'm sure she'll get the hang of it soon.
I came inside to check on Ava drinking her bottle and found that Kallie had made her a crown out of magnets. So cute! Kallie is still completely obsessed with Ava and can't keep herself away.
Easter came and the kids had so much fun at the Grandview 6th ward egg hunt, a tradition we have not missed since Mckinley was born.
So fun to be there with cousins! There was a funeral inside the church so we ate breakfast outside, which worked out quite well. We had a blast.
Ava's smile is so stinking cute!
Easter Sunday. Mckinley was so worried the Easter Bunny didn't come to our house on Easter morning because she didn't see any eggs anywhere but then we looked a little harder and found a note from the Easter Bunny sending them on a treasure hunt where they eventually found their easter baskets and new outfits down in the theater room. It was "the best Easter ever."
After church we headed over to Brandon's parents' house for the Easter egg hunt. They go all out and we always have so much fun over there. After waiting forever for the rest of the cousins to come, we were able to start and the kids had a great time getting as many eggs as they could.
We had such a great Easter this year. Mckinley made this super amazing craft showing the guards at Jesus' tomb, the angel, and then the stone rolls away from the tomb, and Jesus is lying down and then twists to be standing up when He was resurrected. She came up with it all on her own and it is absolutely amazing. I took a video of her doing it but I need to take a picture so I can post it here. Mckinley amazes us every day. She is seriously not like any other child her age. She is so incredible. She loves everything about life and makes us so happy. We feel so lucky to be her parents.
Tyler and Kallie are learning so much. They have loved Joy School this year and they play together really well. They absolutely love Ava. Kallie is pretty rough with her and Tyler is so soft and sweet, which goes along with their personalities. Kallie loves to be naughty and gets in trouble a lot. Tyler still crashes and take late naps on the couch a lot. They love to play with cousins.
Ava has learned how to sit up, roll over, she has two teeth, and is thriving. She doesn't laugh very easily but she smiles all the time. She is starting to learn how to hold her own bottle. She is not super comfortable around other people than us, but that's because she rarely spends time with anyone else. We just love her to death and are so glad she's ours.

Last October, Microsoft announced a new packaging lineup and licensing options for Visual Studio 2010 to provide customers with simplified ways to purchase and license Visual Studio. The new lineup includes three main versions of Visual Studio with appropriate MSDN subscriptions to go with Ultimate, Premium and Professional.
Many have asked what this meant for Standard Edition customers looking to upgrade.
Today, Microsoft announces its Standard Offer promotion to ensure current Standard Edition customers can easily and affordably move up to Visual Studio 2010. The Standard Offer enables customers who purchased Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 Standard Edition to upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 at the previous Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition $299 retail price. Standard customers can take advantage of this offer April 12-October 12, 2010.
Visual Studio 2010 provides significant new benefits, such as the ability to optimize your development environment with multi-monitor support, and the ability to target multiple versions of the .NET Framework with one tool. For Standard customers this functionality represents a substantial step up in tooling.
Also unveiling today, is an offer for customers who purchase Visual Studio Professional at retail. To help these developers fully realize the power and benefits of a MSDN subscription, Microsoft is announcing MSDN Essentials, a one-year trial MSDN subscription that will be included with every retail copy of Visual Studio Professional sold.
MSDN Essentials subscribers will have access to three of the latest Microsoft platforms: Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, and SQL Server 2008 Datacenter R2 for development and test use, as well as 20 hours of Windows Azure. Subscribers will also have access to MSDN's Online Concierge, Priority Support in MSDN Forums, and will be included in special offers from partners.
Also, for the first time ever, developers will have the opportunity to pre-order Visual Studio 2010. The Microsoft Store and select online resellers will pre-sell Visual Studio 2010 Professional with MSDN Essentials from March 9th until the product launch.

Prepare for MIT
What To Do In High School
When we admit a class of students to MIT, it's as if we're choosing a 1,100-person team to climb a very interesting, fairly rugged mountain—together. We obviously want people who have the training, stamina and passion for the climb. At the same time, we want each to add something useful or intriguing to the team, from a wonderful temperament or sense of humor to compelling personal experiences, to a wide range of individual gifts, talents, interests and achievements. We are emphatically not looking for a batch of identical perfect climbers; we are looking for a richly varied team of capable people who will support, surprise and inspire each other.
Preparing yourself for MIT, then, means doing two things:
- making sure you're ready to do the work, and
- taking the time to really explore things that interest you, both inside and outside of school.
A strong academic foundation in high school both improves your odds of getting into MIT and will help you make the most of the Institute when you're here. We recommend (please note that these are not "requirements") that your high school years include the following:
- One year of high school physics
- One year of high school chemistry
- One year of high school biology
- Math, through calculus
- Two years of a foreign language
- Four years of English
- Two years of history and/or social sciences
Overall, you should try to take the most stimulating courses available to you. If your high school doesn't offer courses that challenge you, you may want to explore other options, such as local college extension or summer programs.
MIT OpenCourseWare Highlights for High School is also a resource which highlights MIT courses selected specifically to help you prepare for AP exams, learn more about the skills and concepts you learned in school and get a glimpse of what you'll soon study in college.
Public School / Private School
MIT receives diverse and interesting applications from students in every type of school: public, private, religious, charter, and home school. We understand that high schools have different offerings and families have different resources. It is our job as admissions officers to sift through that context and admit those students who are the best matched with MIT.
Extracurricular Activities
Some students feel so much pressure to get into the "right" college that they want to make sure they do everything "right"—even do the "right" extracurricular activities. Fortunately, the only right answer is to do what's right for you—not what you think is right for us.
Choose your activities because they delight, intrigue and challenge you, not because you think they'll look impressive on your application. Go out of your way to find projects, activities and experiences that stimulate your creativity and leadership, that connect you with peers and adults who bring out your best, that please you so much you don't mind the work involved. Some students find room for many activities; others prefer to concentrate on just a few. Either way, the test for any extracurricular should be whether it makes you happy—whether it feels right for you.
By the same token, some applicants struggle to turn themselves into clones of the "ideal" MIT student—you know, the one who gets double 800s on the SAT. Fortunately, cloning is still for sheep. What we really want to see on your application is you being you—pursuing the things you love, growing, changing, taking risks, learning from your mistakes, all in your own distinctive way. College is not a costume party; you're not supposed to come dressed as someone else. Instead, college is an intense, irreplaceable four-year opportunity to become more yourself than you've ever been. What you need to show us is that you're ready to try.

Sometimes the misconception with overdue debts is "EC Credit Control or the courts will collect my money, no problem. I just send them a debt and they work their magic and I get paidâ€. If only it were true, credit reporting agencies such as Veda would be obsolete. The truth is there is no magic wand in debt collection and what may appear simple may in fact be quite complex. Therefore a lot of what you do at the outset as a creditor can have a big impact on the likelihood of a positive collection should a debtor renege on an invoiced payment.
How Do I Help EC Credit Control Help Me:
When submitting a debt for collection, the more relevant information we receive at the outset, the better. If a contract is held, send us a copy. Tell us if you hold a personal guarantee and provide a copy of that also. Invoices/statements/court judgements along with relevant correspondence that assists in proving the debt should all be provided with your debt for collection. This is because the onus of proving a debt lies with the creditor and debtors more often than not will at first deny knowledge of a debts existence or that they have signed or seen any documents of proof. Our technology is so fluid that if we already have this information scanned to the file we can provide same to the debtor at the push of a button while we still have them on the phone, thus denying some delay in having to come back to you to seek such documentation. The invoices you submit should add up to the amount you are seeking and should be made out to the correct debtor. If not there will be delays in processing your debt for collection. It is important that you ascertain who the correct debtor is at the point when the debt is incurred. This is particularly important when dealing with tenants/landlords and for subcontractors where there is a trend of issues arising as to who ordered or was responsible for the work. Remember if you cannot prove the debt when the debtor challenges it, we are less likely to collect the debt
How Do I Help Myself:
A signed contract will always be king. It does not stop a debtor disputing a debt but it does clearly show that they signed agreeing to your terms of trade which should include the ability to load a default, add interest, recover legal and collection costs amongst other important specifics. The timing of disclosure and acceptance of that contract is also important. Terms are only enforceable if they have been disclosed and accepted on or before the date the debt was incurred. You might have the perfect contract and terms, but if you disclose same after the debt is incurred, (i.e on the back of an invoice 30 days after provision of goods and services) the terms will not pertain to that debt. You can still pursue payment for the invoice concerned but there can be no costs/interest added and the debtor cannot be default listed.
What Else Should I Be Aware Of:
EC Credit Control and you as a creditor have to abide by a number of regulatory bodies, the main one of which is the ACCC. It governs what we/you can and cannot do in relation to your debtor including the timing and frequency of contact and what can and cannot be said.
Credit Reporting Agencies also have rules which we have to abide by around the provision of information for default listing. In particular they require EC Credit Control to have sighted a signed contract in order to default list a commercial debtor and that your terms of trade include a privacy clause in order to default list a consumer debtor. They will also not default list a disputed debt without a court judgement regardless of the quantum of the dispute. Their position is that they, nor EC Credit Control, nor the creditor have the authority to make judgement on a disputed debt, only the courts do.
Then there are various Acts such as the Privacy Act and some state specific acts that must be adhered to also. For example there are preconditions for disclosing default information for consumer debtors under the Privacy Act section 6Q which include:
• The debt must be over 60 days past due date
• Amount must not be less than $150
• Statute of Limitation must not have expired (usually 6 years)
• Credit Provider must have issued the required default notice (6Q)
The BASIC standard process from a credit providers point of view is as follows:
1. As soon as the debt becomes overdue the client should issue an overdue letter to the debtor at their last known address (6Q notice)
2. 60 days later they can submit the overdue debt to EC Credit Control for collection if it remains unpaid (note: a separate 6Q notice must be submitted for any current debt when it falls overdue, current debt is not deemed overdue at the same time as overdue debt)
3. EC Credit Controls first demand is then deemed to be a notice advising the debtor of a potential intention to disclose default information to a credit reporting body (21D(3) notice)
4. Between no less than 14 days and no more than 3 months after the 21D(3) notice, a default can be recorded with a credit reporting body if the debt is unpaid or no arrangement/dispute exists(Veda/D&B)
A section 6Q notice (overdue letter) sent to the debtor by a creditor should include:
• Heading "Default Noticeâ€
• The overdue amount
• Last known address of the debtor
• Request for payment, payment options and date expected by generally 30 days from date of 6Q notice
• Notice that failure to pay may result in the engagement of a collection agent to recover the unpaid debt with the terms of the contract held to apply

The company that provides health care to millions of service members and their families in the western region of the country dropped its challenge to the government's decision not to renew its contract.
"It is with mixed emotions that we make this decision; however, continuing to challenge the government's decision will not bring an end to the uncertainty that has plagued this program for the last three years and will only drive up the costs for all involved," said David McIntyre Jr., president and chief executive officer of TriWest Healthcare Alliance, in a July 13 letter to customers posted on the company's website.
TriWest's current TRICARE contract runs through March 31, 2013. UnitedHealth Military and Veterans Services, which is part of UnitedHealth Group, is set to begin managing the program in April 2013.
According to a report in Bloomberg News, TriWest has 1,700 employees, and McIntyre has said the company probably will shut down as a result of losing the lucrative government contract.
TriWest Healthcare Alliance lost its bid protest over the Defense Department's March decision to award a $20.4 billion contract to UnitedHealth Group to manage TRICARE, the military's vast health care system. The Government Accountability Office, which rendered the decision, said Defense's evaluation of the contract award to UnitedHealth was reasonable and rejected TriWest's protest on all counts.
TRICARE covers 2.9 million active-duty and retired service members and their families, and Phoenix-based TriWest has managed the program in the West for more than a decade. Defense in 2009 re-awarded the TRICARE contract to TriWest, but UnitedHealth Group protested that decision, which led the department to reissue its solicitation for bids.
TriWest expressed concerns with the contract award to UnitedHealth, arguing that UnitedHealth did not have experience in military health care management and the company would not offer the best value to enrollees. TriWest's contract bid was lower than UnitedHealth's.
"UnitedHealth Military and Veterans Services is honored to be able to put our expertise and experience to work on behalf of TRICARE West beneficiaries, and we look forward to working with the Defense Department and the incumbent contractor to ensure a smooth transition for service members, retirees and their families," Lori C. McDougal, chief executive officer of UnitedHealth Military and Veterans Services, said in a statement. "We are committed to working with the Department of Defense to ensure beneficiaries have access to cost-effective, quality and innovative care."

WWF Statement on Rhino Decisions at CITES
Carlos Drews, head of WWF's delegation at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) issued the following statement today in response to decisions from world governments to offer better protection for rhinos:
- Date March 12, 2013
Media Contact
- Jenna Bonello 202-495-4541 email@example.com
- In This Press Release
"Governments today made a clear choice at CITES to offer more protection to rhinos by agreeing on timelines that will help two of the worst offenders in the rhino horn trade, Vietnam and Mozambique, clean up their act.
"This is a big step forward for the protection of rhinos, a prehistoric animal that are being butchered for their horns at alarming rates to feed demand primarily in Vietnam.
"A record 668 South African rhinos were killed by poachers last year, and close to 150 have died so far in 2013 - we're already moving at a pace that could see even more rhinos killed for their horns than last year.
"The challenge now is to ensure that Vietnam and Mozambique make progress on their CITES commitments within the agreed time frame to avoid trade sanctions in the summer of 2014."
Vietnam is the main destination for rhino horn and is now required to implement a strategy to reduce demand in the country and ensure horn traffickers are prosecuted and strongly punished.
Today's success also means that Mozambique, a major transit country for rhino horn, must strengthen legislation and enforcement to reduce trade flows exiting the African continent. It is currently only a misdemeanour to smuggle rhino horns through Mozambique. The country shares a border with South Africa's Kruger National Park, home to most of the world's rhinos and also the epicentre of illegal killing.
Rhino poaching has hit record highs and is currently exacerbated by increasingly sophisticated criminal networks. There is also a marked increase in consumption in Vietnam, fuelled by claims that rhino horn cures cancer and hangovers.

Rebuilding Lives: UNESCO and AMAR Foundation Take Cooperation Forward
The Director-General gave fresh impetus to UNESCO's cooperation in Iraq with the AMAR Charitable Foundation by signing an agreement with its founder and Executive Chair, Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne, during an event at the House of Lords in London on 6 February 2013.
The event, in the presence of the Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq Dr Roche Shaways and AMAR's patron, His Highness the Prince of Wales, was held to mark the foundation's 21st anniversary.
"UNESCO and AMAR share a common ambition," said the Director-General. "We aim to give dignity to people through providing education, promoting gender equality and respecting culture. We are proud to have partnered with AMAR from its earliest days. It is now a model that is changing the lives of millions of people."
AMAR, established by Baroness Nicholson in 1991 to bring relief to the Iraqis of the southern Marshlands, focuses on the provision of education and healthcare, From training women health volunteers to setting up literacy and numeracy classes, AMAR provides provides basic services to almost 1.5 million Iraqis annually. It has also worked in Iran, Lebanon and Pakistan.
UNESCO has cooperated with AMAR from its earliest days, through adult literacy and peace education projects in Iraq.
The Memorandum of Understanding foresees reinforced cooperation in literacy, quality education for women and girls, teacher training, and sustainable use of water resources, all gained through building the capacity of local communities.
The Prince of Wales commended AMAR for the success of its health and education model, and noted that the Foundation was now seeking to extend it to Yemen, Syria and other contexts in urgent need, stressing that ''we cannot overstate the importance of supporting communities subjected to unimaginable suffering."
A subsequent celebratory dinner and auction were held at the Institute of Civil Engineering, where UNESCO's Constitution was signed on 16 November 1945.
