In the heart of the downtown shopping district, Pioneer Place (SW 5th Ave. and Morrison St., 503/228-5800) is an upscale shopping development that features a number of national merchandisers, including Eddie Bauer, Ann Taylor, J. Crew, Coach, and other retailers found in Rouse shopping developments. The lower level features a vast food court.
Saks Fifth Avenue (850 SW 5th Ave., 503/221-3200), the New York–based clothier, has a Portland outlet that offers designer clothing and upscale accessories. It's linked to Pioneer Place via skywalks.
Indigenous to the Northwest, Nordstrom (701 SW Broadway, 503/224-6666) offers downtown shoppers quality clothing and shoes from its location just west of Pioneer Courthouse Square [3]. Founded in 1854, Meier & Frank was Portland's homegrown downtown department store; it's now a Macy's (621 SW 5th Ave., 503/223-0512).
Real Mother Goose (901 SW Yamhill St., 503/223-9510 or 800/968-1070) is a quality crafts gallery that presents jewelry, pottery, woodcrafts, and other design goods from hundreds of Northwest artists and craftspeople. It's an excellent place to buy one-of-a-kind gifts. Another excellent local crafts gallery with particularly cool jewelry is Twist, found both in Pioneer Place (700 SW 5th Ave., 503/222-3137) and in Northwest Portland [4] (30 NW 23rd Place, 503/224-0334).
If you don't have time to make a trip to Oregon's wine country, stop by Oregon Wines on Broadway (515 SW Broadway, 503/228-4655 or 800/943-8858), a wine shop devoted to Northwest wines. Wine tastings and winemaker events are often held on Thursday nights.
Based in the Portland metro area, Columbia Sportswear has its flagship store downtown (911 SW Broadway, 503/226-6800) and an outlet in Sellwood [5] (1323 SE Tacoma St., 503/238-0118). This is the place to go for fashionable hard-working outerwear for recreation and heavy weather.
For many visitors, the famous Powell's City of Books [6] (1005 W. Burnside St., 503/228-0540 or 800/878-7323) is one of Portland [2]'s primary attractions. A block square and three stories tall, Powell's combines new, used, and out-of-print books and is usually absolutely thronged with bibliophiles. In addition to miles of bookshelves, Powell's offers a coffee shop as well as free author events and book signings. There are a total of five Powell's Books stores in metro Portland.
Whether you're a professional chef or an enthusiastic home cook, you'll find every culinary device known to humankind, plus handsome china and pottery, at Sur La Table (1102 NW Couch St., 503/295-9679). Cooking classes and wine-tasting courses are held in the adjacent display kitchen.
Synonymous with earth-friendly and socially responsible manufacturing, Patagonia (907 NW Irving St., 503/525-2552) shares a large and strikingly handsome historical storefront with the Ecotrust Foundation in the Pearl District [7]. Patagonia offers serious gear and clothing for those serious about the outdoors.
The first shopping center in North America, Lloyd Center [8] (NE 15th Ave. and Weidler St., 503/282-2511) is still one of Portland's major shopping destinations with over 160 stores and businesses under one roof, including Nordstrom, Sears, Macy's, and Marshalls. Lloyd Center also boasts an indoor ice-skating rink and two multiplex cinemas. The MAX light-rail train is free between Lloyd Center and downtown.
Acres of upholstery fabric from around the world make the Whole Nine Yards (1820 E. Burnside St., 503/223-2880) a must-stop for home decorators. Portland [2] has a wealth of historic homes from the arts and crafts period at the turn of the 20th century, so perhaps its no surprise to find Rejuvenation (1100 SE Grand Ave., 503/238-1900) in the city. A vast enterprise dedicated to remodeling and decorating period homes, Rejuvenation is filled with everything you need to replace or restore vintage homes, from brass hinges and push-button light switches to period lighting and Victorian furniture. Within a few blocks of Rejuvenation are a number of other tile, lighting, stone, and decor stores. This is a must-stop for anyone who loves period homes.
A quintessential Portland business, Music Millennium (3158 E. Burnside St., 503/248-0163) is a vast and funky CD and music store of the sort that once typified the 1970s. In Portland, however, the chain stores haven't yet managed to drive this much-loved institution out of business. You'll find almost every kind of music—old, new, rare, foreign—you name it, it's probably here. Next door is Classical Millennium, which offers the same expansive selection for opera and classical music fans. This is a one-of-a-kind store and as close to the still-beating subversive heart of Portland as you'll get on a casual visit.
Portland is famed for its parks and gardens, and no wonder—the climate here is so mild and nurturing that gardeners can grow almost anything. As if to prove the point, there's Portland Nursery (5050 SE Stark St., 503/231-5050). If you've got a green thumb or just enjoy plant life, consider a trip to this block-square nursery, the city's largest and most comprehensive. Portland gardeners are a demanding and experimental lot, and chances are you'll see plants here that you've only ever seen in catalogs or magazines.

Dwight McCombs, a 6-foot-8 power forward at Moraine Valley Community College, has committed to UCF and will join the Knights for the 2010-11 season.
McCombs, who played at Chicago's Whitney Young High at the same time as current UCF point guard A.J. Rompza, also had offers from Arizona State, Auburn, DePaul, Indiana and Middle Tennessee State.
McCombs was being recruited by previous head coach Kirk Speraw and his staff. He waited until new coach Donnie Jones was hired, then visited the UCF campus Wednesday. McCombs played three years at Whitney Young with Rompza and got to know Marcus Jordan even though he joined the Whitney Young program after McCombs had graduated.
"They've really been pushing me to go to UCF for the longest time," McCombs said of Rompza and Jordan. "It was just a matter of the who the coach was going to be. I feel comfortable and confident with the new coaches. I'm looking forward to joining the team this summer."
He is the second commitment of new UCF coach Donnie Jones' tenure. With McCombs in the mix and R.J. Scott's recent decision to leave the program, Jones and his staff still have two scholarships remaining.
McCombs was Moraine Valley's leading scorer with 22.3 points per game and was named to the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II All-Region IV first team following the 2009-10 season.
He ranked first nationally among all NAJCAA Division II players in blocks per game (5.1), third in field-goal percentage (70 percent) and third in rebounds per game(13.3).
In the past, Chicago-area basketball Web sites have listed McCombs' vertical leap as 42 inches and his wingspan as more than 7 feet.
Before enrolling at Moraine Valley, McCombs played one year at Miami-Ohio. He appeared in 28 games during the 2007-08 season. McCombs averaged 0.8 points and 1.3 rebounds in 7.3 minutes per game before deciding to leave the program.
At Whitney Young High, McCombs averaged 17 points, 6 blocks and 11 rebounds his senior season. The team posted a 22-9 record and he earned second team all-state honors. During McCombs' junior year, he averaged 12.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.0 blocks and 3.0 assists per game.
McCombs fills a much-needed void for the Knights, who were in need of athletic big men to help balance out a guard-heavy roster.
Click on this link to read a full article about McCombs I just posted on the Orlando Sentinel Web site, including more of his thoughts on the UCF program.

David Banner - What Did I Do?
Artist: David Banner
Featuring: 9th Wonder
Producer: 9th Wonder
Album: Unreleased
Label: b.i.G. f.a.c.e.
There was a quote that stuck with me from Sean "Diddy" Combs' Making the Band: "Emotions will have you broke." I guess that philosophy comes into play when choosing tracks for an album too… although I wouldn't have nixed this one. Mean-mugger David Banner and super-producer 9th Wonder have let a novel loose on their new offering What Did I Do?, a record that shows the rugged yet empathetic plight of a man whose main tenderoni is looking for love elsewhere. Not since Ghostface's Never Be the Same Again has a rapper truly captured the emotion of being unequivocally hurt by a woman, and this time around without Carl Thomas. With 9th always consistent behind the boards and Banner putting his trademark southern drawl on this great storyline, it would indeed have been Pulitzer-worthy. Unfortunately, we won't see What Did I Do? at the awards ceremony with the rest of the tracks for the duo's Death of a Popstar album, dropping November 9. So download this joint now, or live with the fact that eventually this song will be gone forever.

I always love to hear that a dope record "didn't make the final cut." Naturally, that means we, the listening public, are in store for one heck of an album if excellent records were left on the studio hard drive. That is the case here - Banner and 9th have raised my expectations bar.

Feelin this one Mr. Banner. Has that K.R.I.T. feel to it, with the gritty, sampled production matched with Banner's emotional and thought-provoking flow. I'm ready for this project.

David Banner went from making songs like "Play" to these songs that actualy have a meaning. Impressive! I'm looking forward to this project, has truly developed as an artist over the last few years.

Excellent, simply excellent. As I've written before, you never know which side of Banner you're going to get, and I enjoy the Play side, but when he gets serious, his delivery's among the best in the game. This album's going to be ridiculous.

According to ABC News:
Sarah Palin's husband is endorsing Newt Gingrich for president, Todd Palin told ABC News today.
But Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and John McCain's 2008 Republican running mate, has yet to decide "who is best able to go up against Barack Obama," Todd Palin said.
Palin said he has not spoken to Gingrich or anyone from the former House speaker's campaign. But he said he respects Gingrich for what he went through in the 1990s and compared that scrutiny in public life to what Sarah Palin went through during her run for the vice presidency.
Todd Palin said he believes that being in the political trenches and experiencing the highs and lows helps prepare a candidate for the future and the job of president.
He did not criticize any of the other candidates and said his "hat is off to everyone" in the Republican race.
But Todd Palin did point to last summer, when a large portion of Gingrich's staff resigned and the candidate was left, largely by himself, to run the campaign.
Read more here.
Update: Tony Lee weighs in here with some interesting analysis.
Update II: Todd Palin will be a guest tonight On the Record with Greta Van Susteren

A power grid fight that's divided the small community of South Daytona is on the ballot Tuesday.
The issue is whether the city should take over providing electrical service or if Florida Power and Light should continue service.
The city has a clause in its contract allowing it to buy out FPL for just over $12 million.
South Daytona has just over 12,000 households and 7,600 voters but the voters will wield a lot of power in the power fight.
Paul Darcy thinks South Daytona should exercise its option and become its own utility and distribute electricity. Imagine his surprise over the weekend when he saw his name in the paper saying he's voting no to the take over.
Darcy's girlfriend Cathy Ransley's name was listed too, along with five others who support the city's bid.
"I wouldn't want to be responsible for someone voting a certain way because they thought I did. I do have a lot of friends," said Darcy.
FPL has spent over $400,000 to sway voters and encourage them to say no to the city.
Supporters think city service won't be as reliable and will be more costly, but Raymond Lawrence, the chairman of FPL's Political Action Committee called Take Back Our Power insists the ad wasn't dirty politics, just an error by the PAC's call center.
"I'm sorry we made the mistake. I apologize for making the mistake. I assure anyone who's name was in there that I would do what I can to make it right," said Lawrence.

I created test XML files with fate eit data in it. How can i use this xml files to add eit table into an existing transport stream?
Can Multiplexer read XML files?
+ Reply to Thread
Results 1 to 8 of 8
Fate? Eit?? Table???
Maybe you didn't know this, but XML files ARE NOT media files (with the exception being MXF and GXF containers). Items that are in those containers would need to be demuxed into their constituent raw/elementary streams before being remuxed into TS streams. There are a few industrial-strength pro, batch converters that might could do all that in one, but they cost $$$.
More info please...
edit: did a google search...are you referring to Edit Info Tables (part of DVB streams)? Those are basically like Playlists: pointers to where (& when) the true media data files play. If this is what you are referring to, you'll need to do a little detective work and find out what those actual media files are (and where they are, and at what point they play, etc). Then it's a matter of demuxing a DVB TS stream, editing according to the table, and remuxing to a new TS stream. I know of no currently available app (free or pay) that does this automatically.
If this is NOT what you are referring to...we're still awaiting info.Last edited by Cornucopia; 12th Feb 2013 at 19:46.
Hi Cornucopia
Thanks for your quick reply. I meant Fake eit data.
Yes i am looking for a method to add EIT table into an existing TS file and remux it into a new TS file.
As i am not professional but just learning still, I want to know more about how channels can display EIT p/F on screen automatically.
Therefore i created a XML files with eit data in with some existing channels ID.
but after it, multiplexer needs to be able to read these XML files and convert them into EIT table then add;
It is my project.
Or do i need to convert these xml files into another format like MXF or GXF?
Thanks again -
No, and I would guess that the only existing apps that incorporate EIT data into the TS would probably be the broadcasting stations themselves (and their suppliers, incl. manufacturers of hardware encoding+transmission equipment). Without an inside buddy at one of those places, and barring buying the same equipment yourself (think $$$$), your only option as I see it is to reverse engineer the packet format in those specific kinds of TS streams and create your own application that incorporates it.
Scott -
yes. I wanted to create a EIT table through XML files but as far as i understand without a hardware that can interpret XML files, i ca not do it.
No, you are right. You cannot (without either hardware or software app). That's why I said the only other option is to reverse engineer & create your own app (a very large and exhaustive undertaking). Unless you have or know someone who has the skills to do that (or unless someone else suggests an alternative), I'm sorry to say you are Out-of-Luck.
Scott -
Hi Cornucopia,
Thanks so much indeed for your answers. If you could advise me, if one can buy like a EPG server that can create EIT tables and add into live MPEG streams?
or it is very expensive?
Thanks so much again -
No, it's very expensive. In fact, ALL of the sites I looked up (~ first 6 to show up on google for "epg server") don't have retailers or even their own price listings - they have "licensed resellers". You know what that means?
It means, they work out their own price given the PACKAGE or SUITE that you need for your "quote" (usually with a hefty markup). IOW, if you have to even ask about the price, it's out of your league.

Hood River Valley
Just about anything you find on TravelOregon.com can be added to your own personal Trip Planner. Find out how.
Located a scenic sixty miles East of Portland, Hood River and the surrounding valley offer up the bounty of a century of fruit growing and the taste of a dynamic wine-growing region, producing a variety of wines. Home to a dozen wineries and tasting rooms, classic farm stands, sophisticated restaurants and endless lodging possibilities; to truly discover our passion for the good life, plan on staying for 2-3 days.
1. Portland to Hood River
Enjoy your drive through the national scenic area, either zipping along the Columbia River on I-84 or winding through the views on the Historic Columbia River Highway. Arrive in Hood River for lunch at the Full Sail Tasting Room and Pub, open daily at 11:30, tours on the hour from 1– 4p.m. Begin your discovery of the wines of the area as you stroll downtown. Four tasting rooms (Springhouse Cellars, Naked Winery, The Pines 1852 and Quenett) are located within a few blocks, giving you a chance to browse our many shops and art galleries (point of interest – Columbia Center for the Arts) in between tasting wine.
Lodging options in Hood River range from the grand romance of the Historic Columbia Gorge Hotel to the modern luxury of the Columbia Cliff Villas – both perched on a scenic cliff above the Columbia River. The Best Western Hood River Inn offers riverside lodging with dining and features an award-winning wine list. Located in the heart of downtown Hood River – the Hood River Hotel has vintage charm in a lovingly restored historic setting. For more options, visit the Columbia River Gorge Bed & Breakfast Association. You might be surprised at the abundance of dining options in a small-town like Hood River. Count on Celilo (open daily for lunch from 11-3 and dinner at 5) for seasonal, local dishes that support sustainability. Enjoy fine dining in an upscale, yet relaxed atmosphere at Three Rivers Grill (open daily at 11). Both restaurants feature award-winning wine lists with local and regional selections.
2. Discovering the Hood River Valley
If you need to start your day with a burst of activity, take a run or walk on waterfront park trail along the Columbia River. It has breathtaking views, year-round, but can be a bit windy, so bundle up in the cooler seasons. If you'd like to take a trip back in time, visit the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum (known as WAAAM ).
Grab a lunch to go, South Bank Kitchen has some delicious options, and continue your discovery of the wineries of Hood River; many feature scenic picnic spots. Start with 2007 Oregon Winery of the Year, Cathedral Ridge, open daily 11am – 5pm. Next, visit the charming Phelps Creek Vineyards tasting room (open weekends Feb-Apr & Nov, daily May-Oct 11-5), located at the Hood River Golf Course. Follow the fruit loop south to Pheasant Valley Winery (open daily 11-5, closed Jan), Hood River's first Organic vineyards and wines. On your way out, don't miss Apple Valley Farm's famous Huckleberry Milkshake if you need refreshment. Continue your wine tasting adventure to Wy'East Vineyards, (Open weekends Feb-March, Daily May-Oct 11-5). Their estate vineyard, a few miles south of the tasting room, is one of the highest elevation in the state. Head north on Hwy 35 to Mt.

Forest Footprint
Concern for the world's forests is mounting as their critical role in reducing global carbon emissions is increasingly acknowledged.
Global deforestation continues at an alarming rate with 13 million hectares (32 million acres) destroyed per year*. That is the equivalent area of forest half the size of the UK being lost every year. Not only is deforestation responsible for some 18 per cent of man made global carbon dioxide emissions but the destruction of forests around the world also causes wider problems such as habitat loss, the loss of species and the devastation of local community populations.
*FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment 2010
A 'Forest Footprint' is the total amount of deforestation caused directly or indirectly, knowingly or unknowingly, by an organisation or product. A company's appreciation of its forest footprint is a measure of how well it understands, and can therefore manage, its impact on forests.
British Airways is contributing directly to the reduction of deforestation, by focusing on our forest footprint and changing the way we do business to reduce this wherever possible. We have identified the key products that we use, which drive deforestation being timber, beef, palm oil and soy. Based on this we have estimated that our current forest footprint is 127 acres.
Forest Footprint Disclosure Project
The Forest Footprint Disclosure Project seeks to identify where companies use key commodities that contribute to global deforestation and highlight best practice among different industry sectors in order to achieve reductions in the rate of deforestation.
2011 saw British Airways gain Sector Leader under the Forest Footprint Disclosure Project for the second year running. This builds on British Airways' achievement of being the first airline to participate in the programme when it was launched in 2009.

I have a specific problem, but would also like to know how to tackle the general case. I will first state the genral question. Let $M$ be an embedded submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $F: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n $ be a smooth map. How do I go about checking whether $F(M)$ is a smooth embedded submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$ or not? The specific problem I have is the following :- Let $F:\mathbb{C}^2\to \mathbb{C}^2$ the map $(z_1,z_2) \mapsto (z_1+z_2,z_1z_2)$ and let $M$ be the unit sphere in $\mathbb{C}^2$, i.e., $\lbrace (z_1,z_2) : |z_1|^2 + |z|^2 = 1 \rbrace $. Is $F(M)$ an embedded submanifold of $\mathbb{C}^2$ (considered as $\mathbb{R}^4$)?
Remember to vote up questions/answers you find interesting or helpful (requires 15 reputation points)
The specific $F(M)$ is not a smooth submanifold. Here is an argument. To simplify formulas, I renormalize the sphere: let it be the set of $(z_1,z_2)\in\mathbb C^2$ such that $|z_1|^2+|z_2^2|=2$ rather than 1. Then, as Gregory Arone pointed out, $F(M)$ is the set of $(b,c)\in\mathbb C^2$ such that the roots $z_1,z_2$ of the equation $z^2-bz+c$ satisfy $|z_1|^2+|z_2^2|=2$. I claim that it is not a smooth manifold near the point $p:=(2,1)\in F(M)$. Let us intersect $F(M)$ with two planes: If $b=2$, the equation is $z^2-2z+c=0$, hence $z_1+z_2=2$, then $|z_1|+|z_2|\ge 2$ and therefore $|z_1|^2+|z_2|^2\ge 2$. Equality is attained only for $z_1=z_2=1$, thus the intersection is a single point $c=1$, not a 1-dimensional submanifold. If $c=1$, the equation is $z^2-bz+1$, hence $z_1z_2=1$, then $|z_1|\cdot|z_2|=1$ and therefore $|z_1|^2+|z_2|^2\ge 2$. The equality is attained if and only if $|z_1|=|z_2|=1$, so $z_1$ and $z_2$ are conjugate to each other. The set of $b$'s for which this happens is the real line segment $[-2,2]$ which is not a submanifold near 2. |

If you consider the real map $(x_1, x_2)$-->$(x_1+x_2, x_1x_2)$ then the image of the circle is not a submanifold. Infact your map is not injective: it is symmetric with respect to swapping the two coordinates, so the circle is folded once onto itself and its image is homeomorphic to a closed segment. In the complex case, my guess is that the image is homeomorphic to the quotient of the sphere by the involution that swaps the two complex variables... The fixed point set of this involution is the circle given by intersection with the line $(z,z)$. Near this circle the quotient should be like the quotient of R x C by the involution $(t, z) \mapsto (t, -z)$, which is still a manifold. So I would think F(M) is a manifold... |
To elaborate on Diego Matessi's answer (and Boyarsky's comment which I only saw after writing this)... the map $F$ is symmetric, so it factors as a composite map
Edit Let me point out that the equation can be simplified. Let $\Delta=b^2-4c$. Then the equation is in fact equivalent to

Global E-mails
Formerly called "everyuser" e-mails, these messages are sent to all U-M Health System employees who are part of the GroupWise network. Global User e-mails are sent electronically and are reprinted online. If you would like to send a Global User, please submit the request – in accordance with the guidelines below – as early as possible. All requests are reviewed, edited and distributed by the Department of Public Relations and Marketing Communications.
The Global User system is a direct and simple way to get important organizational information to a vast audience. For end users, it's also an excellent way to weed through a sea of e-mails to find major institution-wide communications.
In an effort to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Global User system, the Department of Public Relations and Marketing Communications has created the following Global User e-mail guidelines.
Subject matter matters
Is your message appropriate for Global User distribution?
Global User e-mails are reserved for official U-M Health System business. This includes messages from Health System leaders and communications about:
- Urgent, time-critical information (severe weather, safety issues, traffic or construction reports, etc.)
- Joint Commission, CMS or other on-site surveys
- Key institutional initiatives, policies or processes
Consider your audience
Is a Global User the best way to reach your audience?
Before requesting a Global User e-mail, consider who you want to reach. Maybe an e-mail to a targeted group, such as nursing, faculty or managers is a better way to communicate your message. For example, you can reach managers and supervisors by sending an e-mail to the AdForum group which is listed in the GroupWise Address Book. In addition, there are a number of specific groups that can be reached by e-mail, such as all medical school faculty, members of the Faculty Group Practice, House Officers, all medical school staff and others. While Public Relations and Marketing Communications does not manage distribution to every existing mailing list group, we can assist in finding the right resource for you. If you want to reach some of these groups, you may also need to get permission from the list owner first.
There also are a number of publications that might best meet your communication needs, including:
- Applause! – a monthly online newsletter that recognizes the achievements of Health System staff and departments, and includes stories on employee volunteer activities, faculty awards, retirements, appointments and elections.
- Daily Bulletin – an online publication that features Health System and community-related announcements, and an online calendar of events.
- Community Beat – a magazine and online calendar published twice a year that lists cancer education and support groups, child and teen health workshops, fitness classes, healthy living and mental well-being programs, cooking classes, pregnancy education, senior health programs and more.
- E-news – an online weekly newsletter featuring Medical School news, updates, announcements and events.
- Inside View – a comprehensive bimonthly newsletter for Health System faculty and staff.
A successful communication is one that reaches the right audience. If you are unsure how to proceed or need assistance, call PRMC at 734-764-2220.
How to submit A GLOBAL USER E-MAIL request
Send your request to Kara Gavin at least three days prior to the date you want the message distributed. We realize this isn't possible when it comes to certain messages (emergency communications, weather-related messages, surveyor arrivals, etc.), but if you do have time to plan, please let us know as early as possible to allow for editing and scheduling.
All submissions are reviewed, edited and distributed by PRMC. The department reserves the right to combine your message with one or more other messages in order to minimize the amount of e-mail delivered to faculty and staff.

'Real Housewife' Teresa Giudice says bankruptcy filing surprised her
- Last Updated: 10:50 PM, December 15, 2010
- Posted: 5:04 PM, December 15, 2010
Spendaholic "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice testified today that she had no idea her husband was declaring bankruptcy, while he admitted that he forged her name behind her back on court papers detailing the couple's financial woes.
A sullen Giudice — who famously declared she was "too pretty to work" — tried to duck questions about her embarrassing bankruptcy while testifying in a Newark Federal court hearing for a lawsuit against her and her husband.
At one point during her cross examination, she sniped at the judge, "What does my bankruptcy have to do with this?"
Her famous temper was also on full display.
She was spotted arguing outside the courtroom with a woman, who she accused of leaking information.
"You're violating ethnics!" Giudice, who's famous for butchering the English language, screamed at the woman, the wife of ex-business partner Joe Mastropole's lawyer.
Mastropole is suing the Giudices and accusing them of forging his name on mortgage documents in order to pocket $1 million.
Joe Giudice also took the stand this afternoon and admitted forging both his wife's and former business partner's name on papers, claiming that it was a routine practice.
"Everybody does it," he said, adding that he "didn't think it was a big deal."

COINTELPRO is an acronym for the FBI's Counter Intelligence Program, which was used in the 1960s to monitor, manipulate and disrupt social movements in the United States. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Black Panthers and the American Indian Movement were among the program's targets. Democracy Now! has extensively covered COINTELPRO and its aftermath, as well as similar tactics still used today against anti-war and animal rights activists.

Lenzing Modal® CO2 neutral softness by Edelweiss technology
The softest Lenzing fiber is naturally soft
on the skin and exceptionally ecological.
As a result of using Edelweiss technology, Lenzing Modal® is CO2 neutral. Edelweiss stands for a "symbiotic" production process – pulp, the raw material, is produced at the same site as the Modal fiber itself. Thus production can be done while going easy on energy and other resources. Simply Edelweiss!
New TENCEL®-Jumboline
Lenzing is constructing a jumbo TENCEL® production line at the plant in Lenzing. It will go into operation in 2014.
Lenzing Recognized as FEMMY 2013 Honoree by the Underfashion Club, Inc.
Lenzing, a worldwide leader in the production of innovative, high performance cellulose fibers, has been selected by the Underfashion Club, Inc. as a FEMMY 2013 Honoree in the Supplier category. Andreas Dorner, Lenzing's Global Marketing Director for the Textile Fibers Group, will accept the award at the 2013 Femmy Gala in New York City on Tuesday, February 5.

Hollywood's Highest-Paid Actress?
The No. 1 spot on Forbes' latest list of the highest-paid actresses goes to a 22-year-old, and we haveTwilight to thank for that. Kristen Stewart was paid an estimated $12.5 million per film for the last two in the franchise, plus some of the profits. Couple that with Snow White and the Huntsman, and her estimated earnings between May 2011 and May 2012 are $34.5 million. She's the youngest woman on this year's list, followed by 16-years-older Kristen Wiig. The rest of the top 5:
- Cameron Diaz: Bad Teacher did surprisingly well at the box office, bringing in $216 million, and Diaz took home a portion of the profits. Her estimated earnings: $34 million.
- Sandra Bullock: Though she hasn't been seen much on the big screen, she's still earning from 2009′s The Blind Side. Her estimated earnings: $25 million.
- Angelina Jolie: She's another one who earns millions even when she's not starring in a lot of current movies, thanks to residuals and endorsement deals. Her estimated earnings: $20 million.
- Charlize Theron: After Young Adult, Snow White and the Huntsman, and Prometheus, Theron is experiencing a bonafide resurgence. Her estimated earnings: $18 million.

The Carlyle Group Company Profile
The Carlyle Group is a private equity firm based in Washington, D.C. It has a reputation as a highly secretive, politically connected investor with particular expertise in the defense sector, among others. It has 64 funds investing in buyouts, growth capital, real estate and leveraged finance. Fund investments range across diverse sectors, from automotive to telecom.
Among the luminaries on its current and former roster: former U.S. president George H.W. Bush, former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissior Arthur Levitt Jr., ex-IBM chief Lou Gerstner and former U.S. Defense Secretary Frank C. Carlucci.
Instead of going public as once planned, the firm cut back amid the downturn, announcing staff cuts of 10% staff and closing its Silicon Valley office. Its publicly traded affiliate, Carlyle Capital Corp., liquidated a hedge fund invested in mortgage-backed securities as the housing market collapsed. The firm recently raised a new $14 billion buyout fund. Carlyle, the largest PE investor in China, continues to expand there and recently raised a PE fund in the Chinese currency.
The company has 45 native Chinese working for it, many of whom were educated in the U.S. While the firm declined to comment on its hiring plans, it is dedicated to expanding there. "We can't invest enough money in China," managing director David Rubinstein has said.
Hiring of investment pros is decentralized at The Carlyle Goup, with each fund doing its own staffing.
