Find information about Saint Johns College Indian student association, and registering for discussion sections and departmental electives. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. In-person class registration has largely been replaced with online sign-up, and many schools offer mobile apps that streamline the course registration process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Saint Johns College student life information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Saint Johns College.
Don't imagine that college is all about getting good grades and finding a job after graduation. A large part of the university growth experience is about participating in extracurricular activities such as student government, writing for the school newspaper, or joining one of the many student clubs on campus.
It isn't necessary to take a leadership position in a student organization on campus, in order to enjoy contributing to student life at your school. Sure, you have to live somewhere, but spending your freshman year in the dorms can give you the added benefit of making friends and establishing a social circle. Consider signing up for a meal plan, and gaining 10 pounds in the dining hall. Again, the purpose is to socialize and meet other students outside the classroom. Beyond consideration for Saint Johns College Indian student association, you may think about Henry Ford Community College registration dates for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Drama has been rising high in Star Plus Saath Nibhana Saathiya (Rashmi Sharma Productions) with the family heading to Lonavla for the summer camp with the children.
As we had earlier reported that with Gauri meeting with an accident, the circumstances leading to that will create a doubt in Gopis (Devoleena Bhattacharjee) mind that the child (Gauri) is her long lost daughter Meera.
In the coming episodes, viewers will finally get to see how the doubt would get a confirmation with Gopi planning to get a DNA test done blood.
Informs a source, Gopi will have a strong doubt on Gauri being her daughter and will thus decide to get a DNA test done. With Ahem (Mohammad Nazim) giving blood to save Gauri, Gopi would secretly ask the doctors to do a DNA test.
Gopis happiness would be boundless when the test results will be positive giving her the confirmation that Gauri is indeed her daughter. She will rush to Ahem and hug him tight giving out the happy news to him.
Ahem initially will be shocked but seeing the DNA results he will be relived and really happy. Other family members would also rejoice knowing about Gauris truth.
Will this truth bring Gopi close to the family once again? Will happy days finally return in the Modi bhawan?
We buzzed Nazim, but he remained busy shooting.

Politics without law: The attack on human rights organizations
By Hassan Jabareen, General Director of Adalah
February 2010 Newsletter
The explanation runs deeper than that. On the institutional level, the past few years have witnessed an aggressive political attack on the legal system, spearheaded by the Justice Minister. The attack is grounded in the argument that politics should be freed from the restrictions of the rule of law, and thus the state's legal advisers should not intervene, in the name of law, in their superiors' decisions, judicial review of Knesset legislation should be limited, the political system should dictate the appointment of Supreme Court justices, etc. This position has gained supremacy and brought about a takeover of the law enforcement authorities by the extreme‐right Yisrael Beiteinu party. The Justice Minister, Yaacov Neiman, was appointed with the approval of the head of Yisrael Beiteinu, the Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman. The head of the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee and the Minister of Internal Security, the politician responsible for the police, are also both members of Yisrael Beiteinu. In parallel, a representative of the most extreme right‐wing party in the Knesset, HaIchud HaLeumi, was selected to the Judges' Appointment Committee.
In this situation, legal norms have been reduced from obligations to mere recommendations. During and after "Operation Cast Lead", human rights organizations asked the Attorney General (AG) to open an investigation based on prima facie evidence of gross violations of international law; the AG rejected our request. Previous requests to the Military Advocate General (MAG) to open investigations into numerous other cases were also denied. The political attack on the Supreme Court has deterred it from issuing decisions in such cases, and petitions filed to the Supreme Court against the MAG and AG's policy of not opening criminal investigations into the killing of Palestinians remain pending years later. It also appears that the Supreme Court's inaction has resulted in a brake on the submission of petitions by human rights organizations. The number of principle petitions filed to the court has dropped dramatically in recent times despite a marked increase in the incidence and severity of human rights violations.
In this political climate, legitimization of the doctrine of the liberation of politics from the confines of the law is greater than ever. The doctrine took root with the construction of the Wall, in breach of international law. It was then consolidated by the state's decision to close all investigation files into the killing of thirteen young Arab demonstrators in October 2000, contrary to the recommendation of the Or Commission; the enactment of racist laws such as the ban on family unification law; the incitement against Arab citizens of the state that followed the publication of the "vision documents". The campaign of home demolitions in East Jerusalem, carried out based on British Mandatory regulations and the state's failure to implement a number of key court decisions providing remedies to Palestinians delivered on petitions submitted by human rights organizations then followed. To these developments should be added the siege on Gaza, which amounts to collective punishment of the entire population; and the popular support for "Operation Cast Lead", a military attack in which the Israeli army demonstrated a complete disregard for the laws of war.
What can be inferred from this context is that the ascendancy of the doctrine of politics freed from law offers the real explanation for the recent attack on human rights organizations. The criticism repeatedly voiced by these organizations as they seek to subordinate politics to the rule of law is viewed as an intolerable interruption of the political process. The Goldstone Mission report is precisely about the relationship between law and power. The human rights organizations that have come under attack will continue to struggle to preserve the primacy of discourse of rights, based on international law, and will not be subordinated to the doctrine of politics freed from the constraints of the law.

Toyota Tundra 1794 and Acura ILX
Toyota Tundra 1794 | Starting price: $46,000
The Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition is the flagship of Tundras. Both luxurious and capable, this Tundra has a proud heritage that Toyota won't let you soon forget. The Tundra got a major remodel a couple of years ago, and for 2016 it gets a few minor touch-ups. All Tundras have an upgraded electronics interface this year, while the 1794 gets a larger gas tank and a standard integrated trailer brake control. The 1794 also gets a slight face lift on the front, and can also be equipped with the TRD Off-Road package.
First, a little history. The date of 1794 pays homage to the founding year of the ranch that the San Antonio Toyota Plant calls home. With special badging, 20-inch wheels, and Lexus-quality leather, the 1794 Edition is a workhorse in show horse clothing. The Tundra is designed, engineered, and built entirely in the U.S. and is mostly made from American-made components.
Its styling is certainly bold enough, with that huge chrome grille and tight design lines. Inside, the cabin is a study in refinement and feels equally at home off road or at a country club. The Crew Max cab is roomy and comfortable for adults both up front and in the back seat. Copious amounts of legroom and a reclining rear seat are major contributors. Unique stitching in soft, supple leather, trimmed with wood and just a touch of shine make the interior as luxurious as any Lexus out there.
The 1794 is equipped with abundant and user friendly tech that will appeal to many consumers. Toyota's Entune system features a premium JBL sound system with integrated navigation and an app suite. Bluetooth, aux jacks and USB ports are standard, as are satellite radio, hands free phone capability, and a rear backup camera. Automatic dual zone climate control keeps everyone comfortable.
The Tundra 1794 is powered by a very hefty 5.7-liter V8 mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. It produces 381 horsepower and a brawny 401 lb-ft of torque. This truck is capable of towing 10,500 pounds. Fuel economy averages 13 city/17 highway for a 4WD.
The TRD package adds even more capability, with 18-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels with P275/65R18 off-road tires, tow hooks (standard on 4×4), off-road-tuned suspension, Bilstein® shock absorbers, engine and fuel tank skid plates, and exclusive TRD graphics on bed quarter panels.
There's no mistaking that driving this truck gives you a commanding presence. It's big and brawny and you have to watch yourself in narrow places because its burliness makes everything around you seem much smaller. However, it handles quite well despite its truckiness. Steering and braking feel accurate and offer good feedback. Outside noise is minimal — including the roar from the big engine up front.
Overall, this is truck can go anywhere, do anything, and keep everyone pampered while doing it.
Acura ILX Starting price: $27,000
Thirty thousand seems to be the magic number for an entry-level luxury car. The Acura ILX is proof of that, with a base price just north of $27,000 and ranging up to about $35,000. So, the question becomes, what does $30,000 get you these days? Well, from Acura, you will get a mighty fine ILX.
First of all, the ILX has a nice, design aesthetic. The front end is crowned with 5 jewel-like LED lights in each headlamp. Its stance is proud, as if eager to please its owner. The optional 18-inch diamond-cut wheels add some more sparkle and yet at the same time, give this compact vehicle a sportier, more aggressive feel.
The Acura ILX is definitely the flashier cousin to the Honda Civic, and that is evidenced all throughout the sport-inspired interior. From aluminum gas and brake pedals to the classic stitching on the three-spoke, leather steering wheel, the ILX has a flair for attitude. The center stack has a nice, symmetrical appearance, starting with the navigation screen above, audio screen below that, and control buttons beneath, finally cascading down to the stitched-leather gear shifter. The cockpit hugs without feeling too cramped.
The ILX comes in three trim levels: Standard, Premium, and Technology Plus. Notable features include Navigation with 3D View, premium surround sound, and rear cross traffic monitoring.
New this year is an all-new power train. Gone is the old 150-horsepower 2.0-liter engine matched to the 5-speed automatic. Taking its place is a more modern, more efficient 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that yields 201 horsepower and 180 lb.-ft. of torque. The transmission is also new: a unique torque-converter equipped dual-clutch 8-speed automatic. I believe the power train makes for a smarter, faster ILX. It measures 0-60 in 6.2 seconds, which shaves two full seconds off the previous model. And even with all that power, fuel economy is rated at 25 city/36 highway.
Driving the ILX is also much improved over the previous model. New calibrations were made to the electronic-assisted steering which improves road feedback and gives you a more engaged driving experience. Braking is laser sharp and feels accurate to the amount of pressure you put on the pedal. Overall, the ILX is fun to drive and rewards those who like to drive. In fact, even for those who feel that driving is a bother, the ILX will make your commute much more enjoyable.
Competitors in this category include the Audi A3, Mercedes-Benz CLA class, BMW 2-series, and Buick Verano. The good news for Acura shoppers is that an ILX tops out at $35,000 while others can range into the low fifties. So, what does $30,000 get you these days? In the case of the Acura ILX, you can get a fun-to-drive, sophisticated, car that offers a touch of class in the entry-level luxury category.

My inbox floods in waves. Every May and every December I get a few dozen emails from recent graduates who are frantically trying to figure out what the hell to do with their lives. For some reason they think I have an answer on how to get a job. I don't.
But over the past few years I have learned a thing or to about work and my career and what I want out of work and my career. And there's a list a mile long of the things I wish I had known after graduating college, things that only come from experience and making stupid mistakes.
Lesson 1: Get over your fear of falling.
It's been 3 years now since I graduated Davidson College and if I knew right off the bat that I didn't have to get a 'safe' job and the only way to be happy is to do what your gut tells you that you really love than I would have done things differently. I wouldn't have settled for a boring office job, but I'm glad I quit when I did and traveled when I did.
Lesson 2: Get published.
If I had known how valuable this blog would be three years down the line, I would have started in college. Even if your job doesn't involve writing, WRITE. Not a great writer? Learn. Seriously, the ability to have people from all industries in all countries to be able to see your work/thoughts/skills is worth the few hours you'd spend a week writing. And it doesn't have to be a blog. This can be your school newspaper, someone else's blog, your local paper, a community leaflet, whatever. It doesn't matter. Point is, people will want to see that you've gone the extra mile and have ideas worth listening to. Plus, I can't remember the last time someone asked me what my degree was.
Lesson 3: Start small.
When I was looking at jobs for the big publishers, they wanted other publishing experience, even though I was only 21. So take publishing for example: find boutique, weird, quirky or niche publishing houses (or websites!) and start there. That's not to say you can't go big, but in terms of being "realistic", small is good. Plus, I LOVE working for small companies. You get heaps more experience and – surprisingly – the pay is often better for newbies.
Lesson 4: NETWORK YOUR FACE OFF.
Emailing strangers is a good place to start, but won't be enough. Join MeetUp groups, email every industry leader in your area, join a professional organization, shell out for conferences, read top blogs and contact the contributors. Then connect with them on LinkedIn. You do have LinkedIn, right? These are the people who are going to help you get jobs and vouch for you. If any of them are near your school, invite them for a coffee. Meeting in person is ALWAYS better than email. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS.
Lesson 5: Hire a resume writer.
I used social media to get a job and I've been using it since. But don't underestimate the power of a good resume. I hired Jenny Foss of jobjenny.com and had the guys at Loft design it. They both blew my mind. My resume is the best thing since sliced bread and every job I've applied for has at least asked me in for an interview since then. My newest job in San Francisco called me for an interview within 12 hours of sending my resume. I was offered the gig less than 2 weeks later.
While I want to say that I would have saved myself a lot of grief by following these lessons three years ago instead of now, sometimes you just gotta make mistakes to really drive a lesson home. What was the dumbest career mistake you ever made?

Center Kevin Mawae was taken off the physically unable to perform list by the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday and practiced for the first time in training camp.
"I was at a point to where I had to go on the field to figure out where I was at in my rehab process and recovery process right now." Mawae said of the decision made late Monday night to activate him.
The 16-year veteran center, coming off right elbow surgery, not only practiced with the first team but actually got in more work than he thought he might on his first day back.
"It was very nice. I had a little anxiety this morning. I haven't been that anxious about getting on the football field in a long, long time, but I felt comfortable and felt good about it with what we did out there," Mawae said. "I got more reps than I expected to get and even did one-on-ones and things like that and felt good about it."
Mawae originally suffered the injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers last December and had surgery in January on the elbow.
Leroy Harris has been working as the starting center all through training camp and preseason thus far, and will continue to spell the veteran center some in practice. As for when Mawae will play in a preseason game, the Titans are uncertain if he will debut Saturday night in Cleveland.
"It really would be determined by what happens tonight, tomorrow and Thursday," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said of Mawae's status against the Browns.
Mawae, who had the elbow iced and more rehab work after practice, said he's not even thinking that far ahead.
"I'm anticipating coming to practice tomorrow. This whole process has been a day-to-day thing, a week-to-week thing and that's the way it's going to stay right now," he said. "We'll re-evaluate it at the end of the week and determine if I'm going to play or not."
Mawae, 38, was sporting a huge black brace on his right elbow and will wear it for an indefinite period of time as he makes his way back into the lineup.
"It's cumbersome. It's precautionary. It's there for support. It is cumbersome, but it's the conservative move and it makes sense to wear it out there to protect yourself until we feel like I don't need to have," Mawae said.
The brace might even be an advantage – as there was one play in team drills where Kyle Vanden Bosch was on the ground after the play muttering about an "[expletive] elbow brace."
"I don't anybody's going to like the elbow brace. They don't like the cast, but if you've got to wear a brace, you've got to wear a brace," Mawae said. "It's not my problem. It's an issue for the guys I'm playing again. It's a brace, a protective brace. It's no different than a guy wearing a knee brace or anything like that.
"It's there for my safety and obviously we've got rules in place for how much needs to be padded up for a game and stuff like that. If I were to wear it in a game, we'll follow the rules."
Mawae's linemates are happy to have him back in the lineup calling the signals.
"He's a great player, and he's fun to play next to. I'm excited to have him back out there and hoping he's full go for week one, which I think is the plan right now," right guard Jake Scott said.

Shooting—whether it's the Na'vi with their tsko swizaw or the Sawtute with their hunsìp—plays a significant role in "Avatar." Recently, Tsm. Plumps alu Stefan requested clarification on the Na'vi terminology for shooting, so let me share with you here what I told him:
We have two words that specifically mean 'shoot,' tem and toltem.
Tem (vin.) is the intransitive 'shoot.' It talks about the action itself, without mentioning the weapon used or the object to be shot.
Tem rä'ä!
'Don't shoot!'
It's also the verb used to translate "shoot at"—that is, the act of discharging a weapon towards someone or something with the intention of killing or maiming. In this construction, "at" is translated as ne:
Oene fko terem!!!
"Someone is shooting at me!!!"
Toltem is vtr. Stress on the second syllable: tol.TEM. Infixes are 1, 2. The object is the person, animal, or thing shot and presumably injured or killed—that is, the target of the shooting.
Plltxe Ralu san oe new tivoltem yerikit.
'Ralu says he wants to shoot a hexapede.'
Now note something interesting: In English we can say "shoot an animal" or "shoot an arrow." These are both transitive constructions that take objects. But semantically they're very different. "Animal" is the target; "arrow" is the weapon used. Na'vi distinguishes these. For the former we use toltem, for the latter we use tsweykayon 'cause to fly, let fly.' So 'shoot an arrow' is swizawti tsweykayon. (Since tsweykayon is a predictable infixed form, it's not listed separately in the dictionary.)
Swizawti tsweykayon nefä ne taw, tsenga zup ke lu law.
'I shot an arrow into the air, / It fell to earth, I know not where.' (H.W. Longfellow)
Txo nga zene tivem, tsatìtusem livu muiä.
'If you must shoot, let it be justified.'

Written in laymens terms, the book identifies, by brand
name, the pharmaceutical drugs and herbs that hold the greatest promise. It
also surveys the new technologies for early and proper diagnosis, and gives
practical advice to doctors and patients about what steps they can take
together to treat,
and often reverse, prostate disease.
For the first time, a leading expert in the field of
prostate health shows men how to markedly reduce their risk not only of
prostate cancer; but also enlarged prostate and prostatitis. Equally
important, Dr. Katz shows men the best treatment protocols for these
conditions. He also describes breakthrough clinical trials with a
proprietary herbal formula that reverses precancerous prostate conditions
known as PIN. No man today, or the woman who loves him, can afford not to be
without this important, easy to read, breakthrough book.
Endorsements for Dr. Katz' book:
This is the one essential guide to prostate health. I
recommend it to my patients and follow the recommendations in it myself.--
Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Healthy Aging: A Lifelong Guide to Your
Physical and Spiritual Well-Being".
This is a very, very good book, and a necessary one,
written by a doctor who is at the pinnacle of his field. It should be on
every mans bookshelf.-- Mehmet Oz, M.D., co-author of You: The Owners
Dr Katz's Guide to
Prostate Health
Prostate cancer is nearly 100% survivable if
detected early, writes Aaron E. Katz, M.D. in his new book, DR.
KATZS GUIDE TO PROSTATE HEALTH: From Conventional to Holistic
Unfortunately 31,000 of the more than 220,000 men who will be
diagnosed with prostate cancer this year will die of the disease.
But most of those deaths could be prevented, observes Dr. Katz. The
director of Columbias Center for Holistic Urology and an associate
professor of clinical urology at Columbia University College of
Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Katz has written a book that combines
the best in traditional and alternative medicine to prevent and
treat prostate cancer as well as other prostate disease including,
enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and
prostatitis, a commonly occurring painful inflammation of this male
When faced with a diagnosis of prostate cancer
and the threatening quality of life issues its treatment may pose as
a result of surgery and radiating the pelvic area, its
understandable that many men deny the early signs that theres a
problem, observes Dr. Katz. With his team at the Center for
Holistic Urology at Columbia University, Dr. Katz has developed a
successful way to treat prostate cancer and other prostate
complaints with integrative medicines as well as a new protocol for
preventative care. He hopes this new book will offer men an
easy-to-understand, non-threatening guide, offering information on
surgery, medication, radiation, and other allopathic treatments
along with the latest breakthroughs in nutritional, hormonal, and
other therapies so that more men can take control of their health
and prevent their cancer from spreading or reduce the risk of
prostate cancer and other prostate conditions.
Every year thousands of men receive the
unsettling news that their yearly Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)
test has detected early phase cancer on such a small scale, that no
treatment is diagnosed aside from what has come to be known as
watchful waiting, notes Dr. Katz. Taking watchful waiting to a
new level, Dr. Katz and his staff have developed a chemoprevention
regimen of natural therapies designed to have an impact on the
progression or regression of PIN, the abnormal cells that are likely
to turn cancerous at some point in the future. Dr. Katz has
identified the following risk factors that relate to inflammation
and oxidation, the preconditions of cancer:
As part of his holistic big picture approach to
chemoprevention, Dr. Katz offers a clear, easy-to-follow regimen of
herbs and vitamins (saw palmetto, vitamins B6 and E, amino acids,
and omega-3 fish oils) as well as anti-inflammatory herbs (holy
basil, ginger, turmeric, green tea, oregano, rosemary, hu zhang,
Chinese goldthread and barberry, and scutellaria). A diet low in
saturated fats (meats, dairy, butter) and rich in olive oil,
flaxseeds and flax oil and other sources of omega-3 and omega-6
fatty acids (salmon, sardines, cod) as well as anti-oxidant-rich
organic fruits and vegetables (particularly blueberries and members
of the crucifer family) and fermented soy-based foods (tempeh and
miso) is detailed. Dr. Katz advises his patients to avoid processed
flour and sugar, both of which shift COX- and LO enzyme activity
towards inflammation and encourages the practice of tai chi, chi
kung and yoga and other stress reduction methods. Finally, Dr. Katz
brings readers up to date on a promising new drug,
Zyflamend, now in
clinical trials at Columbia.
AARON E. KATZ, M.D. is director of the Center for
Holistic Urology at Columbia University Medical Center, and an
associate professor of clinical urology at Columbia University
College of Physicians and Surgeons. His pioneering work in advancing
the technology of cryosurgery to treat prostate cancer helped
Medicare approve this therapy for treating radiation-recurrent
tumors. Dr. Katz has trained nearly 100 urologists in the United
States and Europe to perform cryosurgery in their hospitals. During
a fellowship at the New York Academy of Medicine, Dr. Katz developed
a novel test that could detect small numbers of prostate cells in
the blood.

On page149 of Dr. Katzs Prostate book, Dr. Katz
provides a PIN Prevention Protocol. The presence of PIN in the
prostate often signals precancerous changes: experts believe that
reversing PIN is the first defense against prostate cancer. Men in
the Columbia University Center of Holistic Urology PIN study are
given a specific protocol of dietary supplements from New Chapter,
that they are told to take daily to help maintain healthy
inflammation levels and provide antioxidant and nutritional
I have detailed the complete daily nutritional supplement

If you're a dieter, you've probably read all about the importance of calories in vs. calories out. But what is this traditional calorie equation? Make sure you understand the important system if you're serious about losing weight.

Calories In vs. Calories Out

The calorie equation is simple. If you take in more calories than you need on a daily basis, the excess calories turn into extra weight. And if you take in fewer calories than you need, you lose weight.

Think of food as fuel and your body as a car. Food is the energy our bodies need to move. Overeating is like over-fueling. Any excess fuel you don't use turns into fat and weight gain begins.

The process of weight loss is just as straightforward. If you consume less fuel or less food than you need, your body burns fat or stored fuel and you lose weight.

Believe it or not, the calories in vs calories out equation is the basis of every weight loss program. Whether you follow a low-fat diet or low-carbohydrate/high protein diet or even if you exercise to lose weight. Every plan has the same bottom line: you need to reduce your calorie intake to slim down.

5 Ways to Cut Calories

Once you understand the calories in vs. calories out equation, weight loss becomes simple. But that doesn't necessarily mean that weight loss is easy. In order to cut calories from your daily diet, you need to make changes to your eating habits and to your lifestyle. And change is never easy.

But if you start with small adjustments to your meals and to your daily activity level, the changes are generally tolerable. So where is the best place to begin? Here are a few steps you can take to increase the number of calories you burn and decrease the number of calories you eat.

Increase your daily steps. Walk more each day. You don't even have to work out to increase your step count. Just make small adjustments to your routine. For example, park further away from your office or workspace so you have to add extra steps to get to the front door. Take the stairs instead of the elevator to your apartment. Take the dog for a walk after dinner.

Cut portion sizes in half. At mealtime, look at your plate and decide if you really need all of the food that you have served yourself. In many cases, you can cut your portion sizes in half. This is especially true in restaurants where portion sizes tend to be very large.

Swap high-calorie drinks. If you are a typical American, you consume several high-calorie drinks each day. Sugary sodas, juice drinks, and coffee drinks are common culprits. If you can drink water instead, you can cut 100-400 calories or more from your daily intake.

Skip condiments and sauces. You can reduce the calories in your sandwich at lunchtime by avoiding mayonnaise or other high-fat spreads. And if you can avoid creamy sauces on your pasta or chicken dishes you'll cut fat and calories even more.

Start an easy exercise program. If you want to burn more calories, you don't necessarily have to go to the gym every day or work out to the point of exhaustion. Instead, start an easy exercise program at home and commit to a 20-minute session in the comfort of your living room. A small amount of exercise can make a big difference in the way your body looks and feels.

Please Explain: Pigeons
Friday, August 17, 2012
Pigeons seem to be everywhere in New York City, and they fill city squares in London and Venice. We'll take a look at why these birds thrive in urban areas around the word and how they're able to find their way home from hundreds of miles away. Andrew Blechman, managing editor of Orion magazine and author of Pigeons: The Fascinating Saga of the World's Most Revered and Reviled Bird, and Courtney Humphries, author of Superdove: How the Pigeon Took Manhattan…and the World, join us.

1.5GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core super chip found in roadmap
January 24, 2011 | by Lars Aronsson
Android News
Merely ours ago, we wrote about the upcoming 1.2GHz Tegra 2 3D chip from Nvidia, and mentioned that things can move forward quickly in the world of tech, and that it's sometimes difficult to keep up. Well, that point is further underlined by this Nvidia product roadmap.
It shows that after Tegra 2 3D, Tegra 3 will arrive with a monstrous 1.5GHz quad-core processor. That's almost a ludicrous amount of computing power for a mobile device. According to the roadmap, the T30 module will feature 3x faster graphics, Blue-ray video, and support for 1920×1200 resolutions.
Tegra 3 will also rock an Ultra Low Power (ULP) CPU mode, so those who complain that more processing power will bring shorter battery life have to think twice. The roadmap shows that we'll see these bad boys the fall 2011. Can't wait.

St. Jerome's Roman Catholic Church was the city of Holyoke's first Catholic church. Holyoke Catholics were first organized in 1856 and the church, located at 181 Hampden Street, was built in 1858-1860. The church was designed by prominent church architect Patrick Keely. A fire in 1934 destroyed everything but the church's brick walls. The building was rebuilt to plans by John W. Donahue of Springfield. A chapel was added to the rear of the church, plans starting in 1939. Read More
Sylvester Graham House (1800)
The house at 111 Pleasant Street in Northampton was built around 1800. In 1836 it was purchased by Sylvester Graham, who lived there until his death in 1851. Sylvester Graham was a dietary reformer and temperance advocate who emphasized vegetarianism and baking a type of bread made with unbolted wheat flour, known as Graham Flour. The Graham Cracker is also named for him. The house's original gable roof was later replaced with a mansard roof.
James Hale Newton House (1870)
The house at 159 Chestnut Street in Holyoke was built around 1870 for James Hale Newton (1832-1921), president of the Chemical Paper Company and the Home National Bank. In 1879 he established the Wauregan Mill, one of six he organized in Holyoke. In 1907, Newton moved to a larger house on the outskirts of the city. His old house house later briefly served (1911-1918) as the Holyoke Club. It was acquired in 1919 for the Holyoke Day Nursery, founded in 1916 and run by the Sisters of Providence. The building was enlarged in 1947 and attached to the neighboring carriage house.
Fletcher-Hildreth House (1869)
The French Second Empire house at 8 Ayer Road in Harvard was built in 1869 on the site of the Bigelow-Willard House, which was moved at 18 Ayer Road. The house was built by George H. Fletcher (b. 1833) and his wife, who moved to Clinton in the 1880s. The house was then occupied by tenants until it was acquired by Emily E. Hildreth, who made alterations the building, which included erecting the two-story entrance porch. Hildreth called the house Sunny Side and held weekly summer lectures there from 1888 to 1910. Miss Hildreth's sister, Mrs. F. E. Farwell next lived in the house, which was sold in the 1930s to the Dodge family.
Mary Ellen Chase House (1827)
Attached to Duckett House, an 1810 residence in Northampton that is now a Smith College dorm, is the Mary Ellen Chase House, another dorm named for a Smith College professor and author. Chase House was built in 1827 (or perhaps as early as 1810) as a residence by Elijah Hunt Mills (1776-1829), a lawyer and politician. After Mills' death, the house was owned and occupied by Thomas Napier, originally from North Carolina, who was a slave-auctioneer and anti-abolitionist. The house later passed through other owners until 1877, when it was sold to Miss Mary Burnham to establish a school for young ladies (the Northampton Classical School for Girls). The objective was to provide better academic preparation for young women wishing to attend the new Smith College. A new rear wing was soon added to the house to accommodate the school, as well as a central tower (later removed) and a Mansard roof (which remains). The Burnham School later moved out of Northampton and Smith acquired the house in 1968.
Edwin L. Sanford House (1870)
The most impressive Second Empire-style house in Westfield is the Edwin L. Sanford House, at 33 West Silver Street. According to earlier research, an earlier house, built by A. J. Bradley circa 1857-1870, was moved when Edwin L. Sanford, president of the Sanford Whip Company, bought the property in 1869. A more recent date given for the Sanford House is circa 1865-1870.
Albion Paper Company Mill (1878)
Holyoke's most striking old factory building was constructed by the Albion Paper Company at what is now 15 Water Street. An earlier mill building on the site, belonging to the Hampton Company, was acquired by the Albion Company after the latter was formed in 1869. The Albion Company was sold to D.H. & J.C. Newton in 1877, who rebuilt the mill complex with substantial additions in 1878. The building features two mansard-roofed towers (the second one added post-1887), whose bells summoned workers for their shifts. The company manufactured book paper and engine sized flat paper. After experiencing accumulating large debts in the 1890s, the company was incorporated into the American Writing Paper Company in 1899. Another adjacent mill building, which was built circa 1880 by the Nonotuck Paper Company and later became the Mt. Tom Division of American Writing Paper Company, was destroyed by a fire earlier this year.

Alright, sorry, but I gotta post another call for help here. Here's the deal. I'm determined to collect all the Stray Beads before moving on to the Ark of Yamato (AKA the Point of No Return). I've collected 99 of them and the last one eludes me, meaning the one I gotta race Kai to get. And yet there's so many obstacles in Yoshpet that I can't beat her even when I take the lead! Even though I went through all the trouble of going through the damn forest and Blooming every cursed tree I came across. The main issue is the obstacles that turn you into ice, especially the snow boulders and icicles that are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to avoid. And the timer's still running too, even in Draw Mode, which almost entirely rules out the possibility of using my Brush Techniques, and at the same time, I can't exactly gather the stopwatches because that tends to help her gain the lead too. Please, can someone, ANYONE, give me pointers on how to beat her, or at least improve my chances of winning without running smack dab into an obstacle?
PS: Has anyone notices that almost all the races you even participate in are HIGHLY rigged to make winning extremely hard?

DEFINITION of 'Annuitization Phase'
The annuitization phase, also known as the annuity phase, is the period when the annuitant starts to receive payments from the annuity. This period is after the accumulation phase where money is invested into the annuity.
BREAKING DOWN 'Annuitization Phase'
When one retires they often rely on their savings as a source of income, after retirement annuities are rolled over from the accumulation phase to the annuitization phase, providing income for retirees. The more that was originally invested into the annuity, the more that will be received when the annuity is paid out.

Advantages: (i) Two different voltages are available-high voltage for power load and low voltage for domestic and light load.
(ii) With the same volume of copper, 3 wire dc distribution system is able to deliver more power i.e. twice of that with two wire distribution system without affecting the efficiency.
(iii) If a 3 wire and a 2 wire feeders both transmit the same amount of power over the same distance with the same efficiency, the three wire feeder, if load is balanced and the cross section of middle wire is half of the x-section of either outers, requires only 0.3125 times copper as required by two wire feeder.
Disadvantages: Requirement of additional (third wire), partially reduces safety and necessity of a balancer set causing an increase in cost.
Three wire systems can be obtained by using two generator method or balancer set method. The main drawback of the former method is that two separate generators are required.
Transtutors is the best place to get answers to all your doubts regarding 3-wire dc distribution system with examples. Transtutors has a vast panel of experienced in 3-wire dc distribution system electrical engineering tutors who can explain the different concepts to you effectively. You can submit your school, college or university level homework or assignment to us and we will make sure that you get the answers related to 3-wire dc distribution system.

Info concerning Los Angeles Pierce College sorority recruitment, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. In-person class registration has largely been replaced with online sign-up, and many schools offer mobile apps that streamline the course registration process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Los Angeles Pierce College student life information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Los Angeles Pierce College.
If you decide to rush a fraternity or join a sorority, there are several factors you should take into account before you get overwhelmed by all the attention they are giving you. The brothers or sisters have their own agenda, and need to fill up the house with a new pledge class every year. Look at the clothes everyone is wearing, and especially their shoes. Are these the same clothes and shoes that you always wear? How do people talk? Do they make sense to you, and seem like the same crowd of friends you left back home?
Nobody wants to feel left out, so you may find yourself spending money you can't afford, and focusing more on fitting into your fraternity or sorority house, than concentrating on doing well in college. Alternatively, if you fit right in, the frats and sororities can be a great place to spend you college career, making life-long friendships, and having the time of your life. Beyond consideration for Los Angeles Pierce College sorority recruitment, you may think about Laramie County Community College midterm schedule 2017 for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), Ranking Republican Member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, today received testimony during a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing on reforming regulations of the U.S. financial markets. The committee heard from several witnesses including Gary Gensler, Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which is the agency charged with regulating derivatives markets. In his opening remarks, Sen. Chambliss noted that recent market volatility and the financial meltdown make the case for more market transparency.
"The volatility that we have seen recently in some markets warrants extensive analysis, and possibly some regulatory changes," said Sen. Chambliss. "I also believe this committee should explore how most effectively to regulate swaps, some of which are statutorily excluded from CFTC regulation and oversight. If Congress is truly interested in addressing the problem as opposed to politicizing a solution, we can no longer ignore the complexities of these markets. We must devote time to understanding these instruments and their applications."
Sen. Chambliss also addressed the concern of pending financial regulatory reform discussions conflicting with the Farm Credit Act, which is under the jurisdiction of the Senate Agriculture Committee. The draft legislation could potentially affect the Farm Credit Administration and the entities it regulates including the Farm Credit System and Farmer Mac.
"We know that the Farm Credit System and Farmer Mac did not cause or contribute to last year's financial crisis, and they have done a good job fulfilling their congressionally mandated mission of providing competitive credit to farmers, ranchers and rural America," said Sen. Chambliss. "I look forward to working with our colleagues on the Senate Banking Committee to address our concerns with the financial regulatory reform package."

Institute for Educational Inquiry
Over the past fifteen years at both the Center for Educational Renewal and the Institute for Educational Inquiry, we have placed a major emphasis on developing both the philosophical grounding (the moral and political dimensions of education and schooling in a democracy) and the infrastructure (the National Network for Educational Renewal settings). With the grounding reasonably well developed and accepted, and with the infrastructure in place, we are continuing our work with partner schools, based on the Partner School Compact developed several years ago by the partner schools and the Center. We are also working on several initiatives, with most having a version of our leadership program established to advance the work in the settings. Also, we are working with journalists and educators in our Journalist and Educator Fellows program. Click on the links below for more information about our various efforts.

Posting Minions to the Gallery
One of the overdue tasks I've been neglecting is posting all the minions I've made to the gallery. I was hoping to have the new site up by now (ha ha ha), and was putting the project off until then so I didn't have more content to migrate.
ANYWAY, I couldn't remember if I ever shared with you a commission piece I made for friend and follower of this blog, Cooter. His wife asked me to make a pirate minion, and this is what I came up with.
Cooter has already received this gift, so I'm free to post it ;)
More minions to come!

Over the years, technology has changed the way we listen to music. There was a time when the phonography was the only source of music for households. Could you imagine the bulky phonograph that consumes a lot of space which was actually treated as a decorative piece at the same time?
One of the things that made music accessible to many fans is via the radio. No longer do you have to go to live shows or store discs around the house to listen to different varieties of music. Over the years, radio technology has also changed from transistor radios to the internet radio that we have today.
There are a lot of artists that benefited from the radio as well. Here are some of the favorite music that have been played on radio throughout history.
"Hey Jude" by the Beatles
Hey Jude is a song by the fab four. It is their longest running top hit for the Billboard countdown. It was the very first single from the album made on the Beatle's Apple label. Not only is Hey Jude the longest in terms of running time, it also lasted for nine weeks on the number one spot.
"Physical" by Olivia Newton-John
During the 1980s, Physical was a song that was a breakthrough. Though it is rather tame in today's standard, it was one of those songs that were able to break the standards of 1970s to 80s radio. It was a bit uncomfortable to listeners, but it was catchy at the same time.
"Macarena" by Los Del Rio
Yes, it's the catchy song from the mid-90s that made everyone dance. The Macarena was a hit on the radio that everyone can still remember the dance move of this catchy song. This song was even translated to English which further immortalized the hit on the radio.
"I Gotta Feeling" By the Black Eyed Peas
Black Eyed Peas during their peak in the early to mid-2000s was able to make such memorable hits from "Boom Boom Pow" to "Where is the Love". "I Gotta Feeling" was hit that surpassed "Boom Boom Pow" in its stay in number one spot. "I Gotta Feeling" stayed in the number one spot on the radio for 14 weeks.
"How Do I Live" by LeAnn Rimes
During the late 1990s, LeAnn Rimes was at the peak of her career. "How Do I Live" was a hit after the movie Con Air made it as its soundtrack. Who could forget that movie when Nicolas Cage was an ex-soldier who became an inmate aboard a hi-jacked prison plane? Nicholas Cage and LeAnn Rimes, how 90s can this get?
"Smooth" by Santana and Rob Thomas
Santana made it a point to make his comeback a memorable one. But on his album "Supernatural" he made an impact the most with Rob Thomas with the single "Smooth". Catchy solos and deep voice, people tuned in to this song for weeks.
What are the hits that you've listened to for the past years? What songs bring back memories?

Neil Barnard INTERVIEW EXCERPTHe helped arrange secret talks with the imprisoned Mandela on behalf of the government.
You used the word that you were "developing" Nelson Mandela. This is an
interesting word to use. One expression of that was your decision that you had
to dress him in a certain way and give him a certain environment where he would
feel comfortable. Now, into those calculations of ... grooming him ... Mrs.
Mandela must have come into the equation ... Can you offer me any thoughts on
How do you prepare him for a role on the world stage, for traveling around? I recall that many times I told him, "Mr. Mandela, governing a country is a tough job. It's not like, with a lot of respect, sitting in London in a hotel and drinking Castle beer from South Africa and talking about government. Government is a tough job, you must understand that it is difficult." We had to prepare him for that whole exercise.
... Kobie Coetsee ... had been critically involved in the view that we have to prepare Mr. Mandela for life after prison, being the leader of our country, being a man, a myth, who is now free and who can, perhaps, create a new image of an Africa ... So Kobie Coetsee was responsible as far as I can recollect. Let's now move Mr. Mandela from Pollsmoor to Victor Verster. Why? So that he can live in a normal house, so that he can gradually prepare himself for life after prison ... so we were busy creating a kind of atmosphere where Mr. Mandela could stay and live in at least as normal a surrounding as possible.
Against that background, remember that Mrs. Mandela was visiting Mr. Mandela from time to time. We made a proposal to him ... that we believe that it will be fitting if she could come and stay with him so that he could gradually become accustomed to a new and a normal and a proper way of life. I think Mr. Mandela was really looking forward to that. As far as I recall, the reason why it never happened, was because Mrs. Mandela was just not willing to do that, using the argument that it would not be proper for him to have his wife in a house at Victor Verster, while the other people still in prison ... were not allowed the same kind of opportunity.
We tried to do the best we could ... to gradually introduce Mr. Mandela into a normal way of life, because that would have been important for the development of a man who was destined to become a very important political role player in the country and outside as well ...
... you had these one-on-one meetings with Mr. Mandela about his state of mind towards his wife, at that time.
Most of the discussions on Mrs. Mandela between Mr. Mandela and myself took place in private between the two of ourselves. I must say that I honor him for even being informed by me that there is a lot of difficulties with Winnie, with the soccer club, with Stompie, with the security police, and other matters as well.
He always very strongly took the line, "Dr. Barnard, remember, she is my wife. I married her. I have a responsibility towards her. And like any good husband, I have to fulfill my duty as a husband towards her." That was very impressive in my mind. It was always a very difficult conversation.
Gradually, I think Mr. Mandela came to at least honor my views, and still to this day he knows that when he talks to me he will get non-political answers. Perhaps some very straight answers, which politicians don't like. I see that as the important role of somebody not involved in politics--to tell the king when the king is naked from time to time ...
But the more we talked about that, I got the impression that he believed that I was trying to help him in a difficult situation against the background once again of Mr. Mandela certainly becoming the leader of this country. And of his wife going through a very tough and a very difficult time, but she was also at the time destined to become the mother of the nation. All South Africans, I believe, would have liked to be proud of her. And certain irresponsibilities from her side, let me put it that way, were not in the interest of Mandela himself, or the coming process itself ... So without pretending to be angels or anything like that, there was never by any stretch of the imagination, an effort from our side to try to use this rather sensitive and difficult issue to the detriment of Mr. Mandela in any way whatsoever. We were, in actual fact, trying to handle it is such a way that it could be supportive of the whole idea.
Why wasn't Mrs. Mandela charged? ... Clearly the state had access to a great deal of information, and that there were a number of people ... who were being arrested on ... less information than the state had on Mrs. Mandela ...
The best way to answer that is ... how can you negotiate with a man, Mr. Mandela, becoming the leader of the country, on the one hand, and on the other hand, act, in such a way, against his wife ... he would become distrustful of what we were trying to do. So the line you're taking is quite correct. There was not necessarily a way of manipulating the law or whatever. It's one of those curious historical inevitabilities, if I can put it that way. You just have no other option. So yes, I wouldn't like to go further at this stage than to say that the government was extremely careful in the way in which we handled this situation with Mrs. Mandela, because of the reason which I've explained.
You were very much at the gestation of a negotiated settlement, what perils did Winnie pose to the success of the process unfolding the way you would have liked to seen it?
I've met Mrs. Mandela only very briefly. Without a shadow of doubt, she has a lot of charisma and a lot of political acumen. I am certain that she can play a very important role in this country's history. She has done that already, but she certainly can do that in future as well. Obviously, the view would have been to bring her into the equation in such a way that she could play a stabilizing role ... it would have been better for the whole process to keep her within the process in some way or another.
You must never forget that as difficult as it has been on the South African government side [during] the '80s to convince the so-called security forces that there is only one way now, and that is try to find a negotiated settlement. The same difficulties the ANC had at the time, convincing MK and others. Perhaps, more difficult even ... they had to convince these people living under very harsh circumstances in so-called frontline states ... and the so-called camps of the ANC. How do you convince these people that the struggle is over ... We had to find a negotiated settlement. So yes, it was quite a difficult issue to handle it both ways.
You developed quite a personal rapport [with] Mandela ... When the divorce happened, indeed, when Nelson Mandela had that very dramatic press conference when he announced the separation and the divorce ...
... On the issue of the divorce, it was a pity, I thought at the time, and I sensed a man who had a difficult relationship with a woman whom he quite clearly loved. It must have been extremely difficult for him. I still, to this day, believe that maybe in the future we will come to realize that it might have been better if the two of them could have stayed together in the interest of our country. I am talking a long term view. I am not looking one year and three years and five years ahead ... But it happened. I think it was handled quite professionally from both sides ...

Five Defendants Charged for Securities Fraud-Related Violations
153 Defendants Have Been Charged to Date as Part of the Southern District of Florida Securities and Investment Fraud Initiative
|U.S. Attorney's Office August 14, 2013
Wifredo A. Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida; Michael B. Steinbach, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Miami Field Office; Michael J. De Palma, Acting Special Agent in Charge, Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI); Paula Reid, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Secret Service (USSS), Miami Field Office; Ronald Verrochio, Inspector in Charge, U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS); Eric I. Bustillo, Regional Director, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); Jon T. Rymer, Inspector General, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of Inspector General (FDIC-OIG); David Meister, Director, Division of Enforcement for the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC); Cindy Liebes, Director, Federal Trade Commission, Southeast Region (FTC); and Drew J. Breakspear, Commissioner, State of Florida's Office of Financial Regulation, announce the most recent charges filed in connection with the Southern District of Florida Securities and Investment Fraud Initiative (the Initiative). The Initiative was first announced in December 2010 and designed to combat securities fraud and protect the interests of the investing public.
The Initiative was established to address an increase in investment and securities fraud schemes in the Southern District of Florida. Participating agencies include the U.S. Attorney's Office, FBI, IRS, USSS, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, SEC, CFTC, FTC, FDIC, and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation. These law enforcement and regulatory agencies have shared intelligence and combined their resources to combat securities and investment fraud, including Ponzi schemes, affinity fraud schemes, prime bank/high-yield investment scams, business opportunity fraud, promoter/micro-cap/"pump and dump" schemes, foreign exchange (FOREX) frauds, false bankruptcy petitions, and other schemes to defraud individual investors. Among the goals of the Initiative is to alert the public about the prevalence of these types of schemes, to educate the public on how to avoid falling prey to these schemes, and to highlight the law enforcement response to the problem.
The Southern District of Florida ranks number one in the nation in charging securities and investment fraud defendants and only second in the number of cases charged. Using the strike force model successfully developed in the health care and mortgage fraud areas, the Initiative has yielded similar success. Since its inception in December 2010, the Initiative has resulted in charges against 153 defendants in the Southern District of Florida, resulting in more than $ 1,777,025,689 in restitution ordered.
U.S. Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer stated, "Fraud in the microcap markets is of increasing concern to our community as these markets have proven to be fertile grounds for fraud and abuse. Fraudsters know that these microcap stocks are difficult for the average investor and regulator to monitor. The defendants charged today abused their knowledge of the capital markets hoping to misappropriate money held in pension fund and brokerage accounts to enrich themselves and their co-conspirators."
"The FBI will continue to target individuals who attempt to undermine the integrity of the securities industry by defrauding innocent investors," said William J. Maddalena, Assistant Special Agent in Charge, FBI Miami Division. "If you are an individual investor, exercise due diligence before you invest your first dime. Ask yourself: Does it seem too good to be true? If the answer is 'Yes,' then it probably is!"
IRS Acting Special Agent in Charge Michael De Palma stated, "IRS-Criminal Investigation will continue to lend financial expertise to this joint venture to unravel schemes in complex financial crimes. Together with our law enforcement partners, we will use every tool at our disposal to pursue, investigate, and bring swindlers to justice."
Secret Service Special Agent in Charge Paula Reid stated, "This is a great example of how the law enforcement community in the Southern District of Florida continues to identify and penalize those insiders who misuse an honest system for selfish, personal gains. Unfortunately, these types of criminals chose to compromise the integrity of their trade and manipulate the law, policies, and procedures with no regard to trusting investors."
"These criminals go to great lengths to mask their criminal schemes," said Postal Inspector in Charge Ronald Verrochio. "We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to uncover these schemes in an effort to prevent future victimization."
"Interested only in lining their own pockets, the company officers and promoters charged today used underhanded tactics to cheat investors and manipulate penny stocks," said Eric I. Bustillo, Director of the SEC's Miami Regional Office. "Their utter disregard for investors underscores the importance of stamping out microcap fraud."
Today, we are announcing charges against five individuals in the following four cases:
§ United States v. Jack Freedman, Case No. 13-60204-CR-Hurley
Jack Freedman, 58, of Fort Lauderdale, was charged by an information alleging that he conspired to commit securities fraud. Freedman was a promoter for Green Planet Group Inc., (GNPG) a publicly traded company whose stock was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Ron Davidson.
United States v. Richard Greene and Peter Santamaria, Case No. 13-60203-CR-Marra
Richard Greene, 57, and Peter Santamaria, 57, both of Broward County, were charged by an Information alleging that the two conspired to commit securities fraud.

United States v. Sheldon Simon, Case No. 13-60202-CR-Marra

Simon was a stock promoter for Ecoemissions Solutions Inc. (ECMZ), a publicly traded company whose stock was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Simon is charged with engaging in a scheme to manipulate the publicly quoted share price and trading volume of ECMZ common stock. Beginning in February 2011, Simon provided another person with advance ECMZ press releases which, once released, were designed and issued to give the investing public the false impression that the fraudulent purchases of ECMZ stock were induced by positive news about the company and to conceal the defendant's scheme from the regulatory authorities. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Roger Cruz.
The following defendants recently pled guilty:

Mr. Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of the FBI, IRS-CI, USSS, USPIS, SEC, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of Inspector General, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Division of Enforcement, Federal Trade Commission, and the State of Florida's Office of Financial Regulation.
An indictment or information is merely an accusation, and defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Vinyl Care 101 ~ Basic Cleaning
Have you ever rescued a
grimy-looking doll from a second hand shop or yard sale, only to be amazed
how beautiful she was under all that accumulated dirt? Grime doesn't
photograph well (at web resolutions) but this Kirsten was dirty and had
white scuff marks on her arms and legs, as seen in the picture to the left.
After a thorough cleaning, her vinyl looked as good as new, as you can see
in the picture to the right.
Dolls that get played with get dirty. The oils from your hands cause dirt and dust to stick. Fortunately, vinyl is one of the easiest materials to take care of and restore. Even dolls that are just displayed will need a good cleaning every once in a while. It is a good idea to strip the clothes off of a doll periodically even if it has just been standing on a shelf. This gives you a chance to check for damage such as dye from the clothes bleeding onto the body or marks from a doll stand.
Baby wipes are a marvelous way to clean off light soil -- they're pre-moistened with a mild detergent and they are thin enough to get into places like little nostrils and between fingers. If you don't have any baby wipes handy, a damp, soft cloth works well. Use a little dish washing liquid, like Dawn, if needed. My favorite cloth for this is a thin, soft, cotton baby washcloth that I keep just for this purpose.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to get into crevices like mouths, ears and between fingers.
If the soiling is difficult to wipe off with just a cloth and mild soap, the next thing I reach for is baking soda. The mild abrasive texture will remove all but the toughest scuffs and stains. (The powder in the skin care kits sold by Pleasant Company is just baking soda.) Touch your damp cloth to the baking soda to pick a little up then just rub gently. Be careful around painted areas because even a mild abrasive can rub off paint. Wipe the vinyl off with just water once you're done scrubbing with baking soda.
If your doll has any greasy or sticky spots, you might want to try a product called Formula 9-1-1 from Twin Pines. The folks at Twin Pines are knowledgeable about the chemistry of vinyl dolls and their products are made specifically for them. And they work. If you like fixing up old dolls and do it fairly often, it's worth investing in some Twin Pines products.
A Dolly's World also makes a "Doll and Wig Cleaner" which I have not tried.
Another choice for tough marks is a Buf-Puf. This is a round, white facial pad that you can find in any drug store, even drugstore.com (they cost around $4). These are gentle (they are meant to be used on skin, after all) but should remove even the most stubborn scuffs. Don't use them on painted areas and do not rub too hard anywhere or you may scratch or dull the vinyl. Do not use kitchen scrub pads; they are much too abrasive.
Finally, if you still have marks on the doll, try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. These pads have a cleaning chemical in them (which is why I use them only for stubborn marks) but they often work wonders. Magic marker, for instance, can often be taken off with a Magic Eraser after other methods fail.
These cleaning tips should help you remove just about any dirt and grime from the vinyl parts of the doll. Sometimes, however, a stain can penetrate into the vinyl. Ink from markers or pens, dye from clothes and mildew are the most common sources of stains. For this type of deep cleaning you need more than elbow grease, you need chemicals.
Did you get all the marks off your doll's vinyl?

Discussion in 'Jack's Place' started by Mark Wein, Jun 11, 2012.
So the CouchMotion video game program is alright? SWEET.
I agree about the jumping, it can screw up your knees or ankles if you're not careful.
I see people do that jumping stuff everyday at the gym. Something that no one did 10 years ago when I was last active at the gym.
I'm guilty of running before I lose the weight myself. I really need to trim down before I get back to it again. I end up having lots of ankle issues but I eally missing running.
I was kind of surprised not to see the stuff like Parcourse or Crossfit and such.
I have never thought of running as a weight loss plan. Especially any kind of distance running. You have to have calories and carbs for a good running workout and that just doesn't fit with most weight loss plans.
i hate running.
i'm gonna try that two exercise workout the article links to. any other suggestions are appreciated.
I don't live running either because I have some foot pain but what I am doing is HIIT. Warm up with a jog for 2 or 3 mins then run as fast as you can for 30 secs. Then you slow back down to a jog or slower run for 90 secs, then back again to as fast as you can. Only doing 6 to 7 rep of this right now after I do my weights. Trying to build some muscle and lose fat at the same time.
Actually - just walking along with a modified diet is much better for losing weight. The guy one cubicle over from me started watching his diet and going hiking four or five days a week. He has lost over 40 pounds.
The running thing is interesting - especially when you are dealing with long runs. There are several ladies in our run group who probably average 25 - 35 miles a week and do a 10 mile + run every Sunday. They race in half marathons/marathons/ect. And they are not skinny. They are not remotely obese either, but for all the calories they burn they are not skinny. It just is not going to happen. And they are in better shape than I am. Physiology has a lot to do with it and they are in great aerobic shape. That is the better goal anyways.
I think #3 covers those, the "extreme" workout part.
The thing is, you could run a marathon every day of your life and still not lose weight if you're not creating a calorie deficite with your diet.
Running and maintaining a healthy diet that creates a deficite is a great way to lose weight.
I am surprised "grapefruit and cocaine" didn't make the list.
i tried them. i can do the kettleball one with a freeweight no problem. the squat thrusts weren't graceful.
I saw an ambulance chaser ad on tv for a lawsuit against Skechers for some of those goofy leg toner shoes or wtf they are. Kinda saw that coming. They look like a good case of shin splints to me.
What are your goals?
I'm not subscribed but I buy Men's Health or Men's Fitness most months and I have the Men's Health Big Book of Exercises. Hundreds of stuff in there depending on what equipment you've got and what you want to work on.
Sorry to hijack Howie but can I ask for your advice? What do you know or recommend for building muscle and losing fat? I lift weights 3 to 4 times a week and do about 20 mins of HIIT cardio after lifting. I have upped my protein intake a lot and try to stay around 1600-1900 calries a day. Noticed increased muscle mass but having a hard time getting rid of my belly fat.
i'm 180. i need to be 160. totally out of shape, so baby steps. but i'm also incredibly uncoordinated. so it makes things like the squat thrusts hilariously bad.
essentially, i know what i have to do. i need to move. every day, rain or shine. i just hate running.

Working on the running but taking a break right now to let my leg rest. So next in line is the bike, that is what I am doing to let my leg heal. My next major walk/run target is December's Rock and Roll Half Marathon in Vegas! Why am I doing it because outside of the health benefits, I want too. It is a great high to have finished my first half!
Sounds like your on the right track overall. You may stretch out your cardio even if it eats into your weight training time if slimming down is more of a priority than adding muscle. Cardio is far more effective at burning calories than weight training.
Unfortunately there is no magic bullet for belly fat. (Or any specific area of body fat for that matter). Fat comes and goes from whatever areas at whatever rate your body determines. All of the products that claim to do otherwise are BS. Just keep on burning more calories than you consume, and you'll get there.
Cut down on beer - that seems to help.

President Obama said Tuesday that he would nominate Time Magazine's managing editor Richard Stengel to replace Tara Sonenshine as undersecretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs. Stengel had also been president and CEO of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia from 2004 to 2006 and had been senior adviser and chief speechwriter for former senator Bill Bradley's 2000 presidential campaign.
As expected — although we thought it was going to be last week — Obama tapped former Enron prosecutor Leslie R. Caldwell to head the Justice Department's criminal division. Caldwell, who led the Enron Task Force, is in private practice in New York. She has also been chief of the criminal division and the securities fraud section in the U.S. attorney's office for the northern district of California.
