Few first ladies can say they held their own with, let alone outshined, fashion queen Anna Wintour. But Michelle Obama can.
Obama today wore a stunning forest-green-and-beige floral silk organza dress with three-quarter sleeves by Naeem Khan, one of her favorite designers. She stood out even next to the always-elegant Wintour dressed in a pale, low-key patterned knit sheath.
And a bonus: Peeping through Obama's nude pumps were toenails painted yellow.
It was two days after Mrs. O won universal acclaim for her Marchesa gown at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday. On Monday she wowed a New York audience packed with boldfaced designer names when she cut the ribbon at the Metropolitan Museum's new costume center, named for Wintour, the Vogue editor-in-chief.
As Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta, Michael Kors, Donatella Versace, Carolina Herrera, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren and others watched, the most fashionable first lady in decades helped launch the museum's new $40 million Anna Wintour Costume Center, dedicated to highlighting fashion as an art form and cultural influence.
Others at the event included Tory Burch, Zac Posen, Victoria Beckham, Alexander Wang, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen of The Row, Reed Krakoff, Prabal Gurung and the Mulleavy sisters of Rodarte.
All but Obama are headed to the Costume Institute ball tonight, organized annually by Wintour and attended by fashion and Hollywood stars. But not the first lady, who instead will appear at two Democratic Party fundraisers.
But after the ceremonies this morning she followed the fashion tribe in touring the center's inaugural exhibit, featuring the designs of British-born Charles James, an influential mid-20th century couturier little remembered (he died in 1978) by the general public but beloved by the fashion cognoscenti for decades.

You'll > need some references. I tried to separate INGRES family by color (color hue) Bright red - is for IBM family (probably wrong color) Oracle is closer to IBM, because they both used SQL, while INGRES family use QUEL at the beginning. Ilustra was bought by Informix, which was bought by IBM and incorporated into DB2, that's why they are close. Illustra is a commercialized Postgres (1992), that's why there is line connecting them. Sybase (Sybase SQL Server) and MS SQL are close because until 1992 there was Sybase and license agreement with Microsoft, which ported Sybase to Windows NT. In 1993 Microsoft rebranded Sybase and named MS SQL. Sybase in 1995 released v 11.0 and renamed them to ASE to be distinct from MS SQL. As I wrote, I'm not sure I got everything right, so any corrections are welcome. If you improve my picture (get .svg and inkscape), then I'd be glad to have it. The reason I made this picture not just learning inkscape (great program!), I tried to show the place of PostgreSQL between all major databases.

I am so excited to show these pictures!
I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Dave + Natalie before they move to Arizona next week. We wanted to capture their life here in Los Angeles for the past four years, so we went to Marina Del Rey, and it was the perfect location.
Natalie is a BEAUTIFUL mother-to-be and it was a pleasure to photograph their little man's first pictures… still in womb, but I count it!
Thanks again Dave and Natalie, we will miss you guys!
This is just your preview, more coming soon!

FOXBOROUGH (AP)- The numbers say Tom Brady is having another outstanding season.
The Patriots quarterback is sixth in passer rating in the NFL, tied for fifth in touchdown passes, third in yards and first in fewest interceptions per attempt. He's also completed more than 60 percent of his passes in each of the first eight games for the first time.
But New England is just 5-3 and he's a key contributor to some of those losses.
Now, the 13-year veteran is coming off his best game of the season with four touchdown passes in a 45-7 win over the St. Louis Rams. After their bye week, the Patriots face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

No disgorgement penalties were ever issued when the criminal case ended. In my eyes the SEC case was a dog and pony show, put on to back up the ludicrous claims of the FBI sting operation. Meanwhile the JP Morgue and Goldman Whacks were running around free shorting the rest of the world out of their 401k's.

The Advocacy Working Group will actively promote policies and programs that support urban agriculture by:
- Building relationships with Council members, city staff, and other decision-makers, and educating them about urban agriculture's opportunities, needs, systems, and practices.
- Advocating for city code changes and guidelines that will optimize urban agriculture practice, and integration of urban agriculture into city and community development plans.
- Developing statements about systems, methods, and practices for AUA to recommend collectively.
- Coordinating opportunities for more people to see and experience the potential of urban agriculture in Chicago's food system and economy.
- Developing partnerships with other organizations to work on regional, statewide and national initiatives that impact agriculture in the Chicago area.
The Connections Working Group will work to increase the membership of Advocates for Urban Agriculture by:
- Recruiting new members

The Connections Working Group will provide a forum for exchange among individuals who support urban agriculture. Connections take place in the form of quarterly gatherings, community events, partnership with related organizations, and online exchange of information through the AUA listserv.
Although most meetings and events are in the City of Chicago, anyone involved or interested in urban agriculture is welcome to be an advocate, wherever they reside. Knowledge can and should be exchanged on the listserv regardless of the geographical area – as a way to support other areas and strengthen urban agriculture in Chicago.
The Resources Working Group will expand AUA's print and online resources to achieve a regularly updated Chicago urban agriculture clearinghouse and communications center that features:
- An Urban Agriculture Resource Guide that includes educational resources, how-to guides, research on urban agriculture/local food systems/food security issues, and public and private resources that provide material, financial, and human resources for urban agriculture projects
- A comprehensive directory and associated online map of active urban agriculture sites with relevant operation and contact information
- A weekly updated website that features upcoming events, job and volunteer opportunities, and a blog, in addition to the resources listed above
Special Projects Working Groups will work on projects that fall outside of the normal scope of work undertaken by the other committees. Examples of Special Project work would include:
- Writing gardening curricula for school children, youth and adults
- Creation of a Chicago Urban Ag handbook for practitioners
- Compilation of Chicago Urban Agriculture site photos and program materials
- Creating urban ag presentation/education materials for Chicago City Council members

The upside of 5G is huge and attracting a larger community of carriers, enterprise and application developers. TIA NOW spoke with industry leaders about where to look next for 5G and how virtualization and automation will impact the network. Panelists include Drew Schulke of Dell EMC, Martin Bäckström of Ericsson and John Healy of Intel.
How can industry ease the burden on the new emerging innovative VNF vendors and on operators on existing TEMs? Uri Elzur, CTO of the Data Center Network Solutions Group at Intel spoke to Abe Nejad about some of the critical road-blocks we must resolve in 2017 to allow Telcos to reach their technical, business and financial goals.
TIA NOW hosts a panel at ONS 2017 on operationalizing NFV networks as well as new design architectures, tools and standards to secure the network. Joining the panel are Rajesh Gadiyar, Senior Director of Architecture & Systems Engineering of the Network Platforms Group at Intel and Brenda Boehm, Chief Strategy Officer and EVP of Technology & Products at TIA.
NFV is evolving quickly, and Mobile World Congress is a great opportunity to follow the progression of the network virtualization space. On this panel are four leaders in the NFV space from GENBAND, HPE, Intel and Wind River.
Paul Greendyk, Vice President of Mobile Core and Network Services at AT&T speaks with TIA NOW's Abe Nejad about AT&T's 5G roadmap, 5G field trials and 5G labs.
Steve Orrin, Chief Technologist at Intel Federal tells TIA NOW about the security challenges facing data centers from both physical and cyber threats. What improvements should organizations implement in the near term to help address these threats?
As the FCC and industry expects the first 5G networks to go live in 2020, there's a lot of ground to cover from a technology and policy perspective. Here to give us their response to the FCC's rulemaking on millimeter wave spectrum are policy leaders from Intel, Nokia and Samsung Networks.
Why is it so difficult to automate and orchestrate carrier networks when enterprises/clouds have been successfully doing it for several years? What are the carriers' fears or issues with current solutions which are hindering greater deployment? Red Hat, Intel and Netscout discuss.
We as an industry have defined the Cloud, but still don't have a clear definition of a 5G network. So how does Cloud in 5G open up opportunities to make carriers not just pipes? And what new services are to come from 5G? Here in the Dell TIA NOW studio at TIA 2016 to tell us more about these topics are Linsey Miller, VP of Marketing at Artesyn; Henry Wong, Senior Staff Technologist at Intel and Ken Fischer, Senior Cloud Architect at Nokia.
As communications service providers re-architect their networks, there are both technical and business implications. So how should we best prepare? Here to tell us, in the Dell TIA NOW studio, is Sandra Rivera, VP and GM of the Network Platforms Group at Intel.
Network transformation to pure IP networks is a challenge that cuts across the communications technology industry. From service providers to enterprise and carriers, moving towards a software-based network needs a bit of hand holding. So where do you begin and what are the partnerships that you will need to invest in to go all IP? At Mobile World Congress 2016, GENBAND and their partners HPE, Intel and Wind River help guide industry down the path to becoming all IP.
In order to connect and support 50 to 70 billion sensors in the next decade, enterprise stakeholders in the IoT value chain need to adopt IoT platforms to achieve MNO scale, and soon achieve the MNO route to market. In the Dell TIA NOW studio at MWC 2016 to tell us how IoT platforms are paving the way for IoT and enterprise scalability are leaders from Verizon, Cisco, Intel and Telit IoT Platforms.
We've all heard about the primary benefits of NFV technologies: scalability, agility and automation, to increase time to market for our products and services. But what other benefits have emerged since MWC 2015? Miniature cloud-based replicas for deploying a steady flow of innovation into a live network can be a challenging concept to wrap your head around. Darrell Jordan-Smith, Worldwide VP of ICT at Red Hat and John Healy, General Manager of the SDN Division at Intel join us in the studio.
Advanced compute and server solutions are the backbone that support billions of device connections and are based on open standards to help maximize compatibility, scalability and expandability of our communications networks. How are these new server and storage solutions helping telecommunications companies bring their intellectual property to market faster and ultimately help lower operational expenses, increase profitability and simplify operations? At the Dell TIA NOW studio, network operator
This session featuring Ken Stewart, Intel Fellow and Chief Wireless Technologist at Intel and Tod Sizer, Head of Mobile Radio Research at Nokia Bell Labs will take an in-depth look at the enabling technologies for 5G, including small cells/DAS, massive MIMO, mmWave, self-backhauling dynamic networks, full-duplex, multi-radio integration, amongst others, as well as consider best practices and strategies to deploy these technologies.

Customer relationship management (CRM) software is a powerful tool for understanding and documenting sales relationships with customers. By themselves, these software packages provide a wealth of data about a business and the business' customers that should be mined to provide insight for decision makers. Without data mining, the full value of the data is not extracted.
Data mining allows users to find hidden trends and features of data using robust mathematical techniques. These trends and features can then be used to find past problems with customer relationships, predict future trends, or provide a broad overview of sales trends. They can also be used to add value to upcoming transactions by helping the business' sales force better cross-sell products.
A wide variety of CRM software providers exist, including SAP, Zoho, Salesforce, and Sage, that provide businesses with the tools they need to stay competitive with respect to getting and keeping customers. Unfortunately, these tools often have limited data-mining capabilities, which hinders the overall understanding of the data collected.
Fortunately, several good add-ons to these products are available, and they do provide data-mining functionality.
Zoho Advanced Analytics Add-on
Zoho CRM is a highly customizable cloud-based CRM package. The
Zoho Advanced Analytics Add-on adds another component to Zoho CRM that allows better data analysis. The add-on provides several dashboards to help users mine the customer data they collect. These dashboards, which can be embedded into other platforms, provide a wealth of forecasting and pivoting capabilities in an easy-to-use way.
InsightSquated Salesforce Analytics
The Salesforce.com CRM offering has limited reporting and analytic functionality.
Salesforce Analytics by InsightSquared allows users to pull in all of their data from Salesforce to provide data-mining functionality (such as forecasting and segmentation) along with customizable reports. These reports can be pivoted to focus on a specific employee, allowing for data-driven coaching or to show broader pipeline trends. For smaller businesses, Salesforce Analytics can also be integrated into QuickBooks. In addition to Salesforce Analytics, InsightSquared provides data-mining add-ons for other software, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), as well.
Sage Business Intelligence
Sage is one of the biggest players in the CRM and ERP software market. With all of its products, Sage offers additional functionality through add-ons, allowing businesses to customize how they work with the product. One of these add-ons is Business Intelligence. Business Intelligence allows users to use their own data to determine trends and create reports based on them. The flexible nature of Business Intelligence means that it can be used as the business needs, not as the software developer thinks it should be. Because Sage Business Intelligence is developed by the same company, the add-on seamlessly integrates into the Sage product the business is using.
Any business that is in a competitive atmosphere needs to use data mining to leverage its customer data to gain an edge. Even if the business' current CRM system does not have data-mining functionality, it more than likely has an add-on that provides it.

Dear God! Please no......
Have we learned nothing from Iraq? Nothing at all?
.comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}
Fuckety fuckety fuck McFuck.
Yeah, we all know Iran, unlike Iraq, is actually trying to develop WMD. They've all but said so. But does W have no respect for the power of diplomacy? Seriously, what would have happened if he were the President during the Cuban missile crisis? He would have bombed Havana and the whole world would have gone up in a fucking mushroom cloud.
Let us pray to God that this is just an exercise in brinksmanship and that W wouldn't actually go through with it.

Nuclear weapons!
They are actually discussing using f---ing nuclear weapons!
I don't think they have any idea of the repercussions of what they are discussing.
By Ben, at 4/09/2006 12:36 AM
Oh fuck.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, WaPo is reporting that military strikes are unlikely, at least in the short term. And as militaristic as W is, he'd have to be a complete idiot to actually push the red button.
Oh, wait. Fuck.

If you've ever wanted to go out with a bang -- literally, the Bullet Urn will help you take care of that.
The company Holy Smoke is behind the Bullet Urn, which will let you deal with death in a shoot-'em-up style. Normally when someone gets cremated, you place the remains in a larger vessel that's been done up beautifully. Well, the Bullet Urn lets your store the ashes of your loved ones inside an actual bullet. Yes, you can actually fire these bad boys if you want. The best part is that you can even have the company customize your order with handcrafted and labeled decorative boxes, which will store all the bullets and cartridges you need. The way I see it, exiting the world while being launched at about 870fps (depending on the gun, anyway) is pretty epic.

Your offensive coordinator did call a good game. They had almost 400 yards against a damn good LSU defense. That defense was off balance all night. I know you hate him and he will be gone next year so you don't have to worry about his behind. But give him a little credit tonight at least.
Congrats again- looking foward to it next year!!

A GIRL EASILY carried off by the wind.An elderly widow whose husband died under strange circumstances.An isolated dwelling that breeds fear.Miranda has no recollection of where she came from—only that years ago, a gust of wind deposited her outside Bourne Manor. The Manor's sole inhabitant, Wysteria Barrows, took Miranda in and promptly outfitted her with special boots—boots weighted with steel bars to keep her anchored to the ground. But aside from shelter and clothing, Miranda receives little warmth from the aging widow. The Manor, too, is a cold place, full of drafts and locked doors. Full of menace. Full of secrets. Then one day a boy named Farley appears. Farley helps Miranda embrace her destiny with the wind . . . and uncover the Manor's hidden past.From the Hardcover edition.

Dan Bacalzo • New York City • May 22, 2003
Territory is a terrific new play presented by the newly formed Bottle Factory Theater. Written and directed by Lawrence Levine, the script captures the awkwardness of conversation -- the lulls, unfinished sentences, and hidden meanings behind a person's words.
The three-actor ensemble is uniformly excellent. Grant Varjas as James has a quirky, dynamic presence that drives most of the action. John B. Good, as Ben, conveys volumes through his understated delivery and deadpan manner. Finally, Amanda Gruss has perfected a dour expression that seems to convey multiple messages whenever she fixes her gaze on another character. These three work well together, playing off each others' energy in seemingly spontaneous ways.
Alliances keep shifting throughout the play as more and more details are divulged. James's presence and seemingly offhand questions reveal just how little Maya and Ben actually talk to each other. Maya knows nothing of her boyfriend's younger, wilder days spent with James and a mystery woman named Vera; at the same time, James has a nostalgic longing for the past that threatens Maya and Ben's present relationship. All the characters tell lies and, eventually, are caught in them.
Sean Higgins and Michael Knowles have designed a handsomely naturalistic set, complete with a kitchen sink! The presence of a well stocked liquor shelf is an immediate clue as to how things are going to go. Author Levine uses some predictable devices, such as the late hour and the free flow of alcohol, to loosen his characters' tongues; but the play is so well written that it avoids cliché.
The script is full of edgy, character-driven humor, and the light and funny tone grows darker as the show progresses. With a running time of one hour and 10 minutes, the intermissionless Territory is crisply paced all the way through to its heartbreaking conclusion.

To stop a resource group from continuously switching from one node to another when a START or STOP method fails, bring it to a quiescent state. To bring a resource group to a quiescent state, you issue the clresourcegroup quiesce command.
When you quiesce a resource group, resource methods that are executing are allowed to run until they are completed. If a serious problem occurs, you might need to quiesce a resource group immediately. To do so, you specify the -k command option, which kills the following methods:
The Init, Fini Boot, and Update methods are not killed when you specify this command option.
However, if you immediately quiesce a resource group by killing methods, you might leave one of its resources in an error state such as Start_failed or Stop_failed. You must clear these error states yourself.
Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization.
Quiesce the resource group.
# clresourcegroup quiesce resource-group
Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization.
Immediately quiesce the resource group.
# clresourcegroup quiesce -k resource-group
The Prenet_start, Start, Monitor_start, Monitor_stop, Stop, and Postnet_stop methods that are associated with the resource group are killed immediately. The resource group is brought to a quiescent state.
The clresourcegroup quiesce -k command blocks until the specified resource group has reached a quiescent state.

Gez wrote: > Nested headers aren't allowed at the moment, but if they are allowed > later, how would the automatic associations for a th in the middle of > a table work? Good question. The headers attribute can reference a th, so if the tds are changed to this in the example, the relationship would be complete. But that isn't allowed in the editor's draft, as nested headers aren't allowed. It isn't allowed in the spec for a cell to be a th that is in scope of another th. That seems to make sense because scope doesn't have start and end parameters. Nested headers creates a new problem of what is the automatic scope association of a th in the middle of a table: Does automatic scope apply to the row (to the left?, to the right?, both directions?), does it apply to the column (above? below? both directions?), does it apply to the row and column and various combinations? Would it require a scope, and how does that change depending on reading direction? It's all undefined, and unnecessary, as the headers attribute referencing a td works perfectly well. Like I mentioned before, we have had approximately a thousand headers messages to date on list: http://w3.markmail.org/search/?q=headers+list%3Aorg.w3.public-html+date%3A20070501-20080912 @headers has been an issue since May 1, 2007 with 40 some threads. http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/IssueTableHeaders#head-bac4baeb0cd0ea09b7f76ff9c409740257566408 I don't know what there is left to say. That is left to discuss? How does the working group make a decision on this? The Charter states: "...if a decision is necessary for timely progress, but after due consideration of different opinions, consensus is not achieved, the Chair should put a question (allowing for remote, asynchronous participation using, for example, email and/or web-based survey techniques) and record a decision and any objections, and consider the matter resolved." http://www.w3.org/2007/03/HTML-WG-charter.html#decisions Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L.

BEIRUT (AP) — Hezbollah's deputy chief says the European Union would be making a "big mistake" to label the Lebanese Shiite militant group "terrorist."
Sheikh Naim Kassem told Al-Mayadeen TV Friday that such threats "do not concern" or worry the group. He did not elaborate.
France this week joined an EU push to declare the group a terrorist organization amid frustration with Hezbollah's support for Syria's military.
France's move could prove pivotal after Germany joined a British effort to name Hezbollah terrorist. The U.S. has long pressured Europe add Hezbollah to its terrorist list, which would hamper its operations in Europe.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said France will ask that the military branch of Hezbollah be considered as a terrorist organization.

SSRCx hires Ziegler
SSRCx has hired Richard "Rick" Ziegler to extend the company's service line to include building enclosure commissioning.
Ziegler, a title for which SSRCx did not provide in a release, comes to SSRCx with five years of experience providing building enclosure services. Most recently he was a regional office manager for Architectural Testing, Inc. His work on various projects, including hospitals and medical centers, government buildings, data centers, museums, educational facilities and libraries, has given him experience with all major building enclosure systems.
Ziegler has a degree in engineering physics from Juniata College in Pennsylvania.
"Building enclosure commissioning is a rapidly expanding section of our offerings, and one that we have had to utilize a sub-consultant," Mike Coyne, senior principal for SSRCx, said in explaining Ziegler's hiring.
SSRCx is the facilities commissioning and sustainability consulting branch of Nashville-based Smith Seckman Reid, Inc.
Grand Avenue, SPR earn Bronze Anvil Award
The Public Relations Society of America has awarded a 2013 Bronze Anvil Award to local companies Grand Avenue Transportation and Seigenthaler Public Relations for their The "It" City campaign focused on promoting Nashville.
Grand Avenue CEO Carl Haley launched the campaign to pay tribute to the city, whose growth he said is fueling his full- service transportation business.
"As the number of people visiting Nashville has grown, so has Grand Avenue," Haley said in a release. "When I tell people about our company and our city, they either tell me about their last visit or their plans to come here soon. Nashville's reputation for hospitality — a century in the making — has captured the attention of the world. This city has earned a well-deserved spotlight, and that is what we sought to celebrate in this campaign."
Grand Avenue and Seigenthaler launched The "It" City campaign in October 2012, building on a year that saw the company experience 100 percent growth compared to 2011 numbers. The campaign was developed with visual branding elements designed to capitalize on Nashville's rising profile nationally and Grand Avenue's slogan, This City's Moving, That's Why We're Driving. The campaign was reinforced three months later when a profile of Nashville in a January edition of The New York Times was headlined "Nashville's Biggest Hit Could Be The City Itself."

According to the minister, the trial of Jadhav, who Pakistan said was working for the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and arrested in March 2016 in Balochistan, lasted three and a half months.
He faced charges of spying for India, working against Pakistan's integrity, sponsoring terrorism and attempting to destabilise the country.
Asif said that Jadhav had the right to move the Pakistan Army's Court of Appeal against his conviction within 60 days, followed by submission of mercy pleas to the Army Chief and the President.
Asif rejected Indian claims that Jadhav's execution would be 'pre-meditated murder', saying due process of law was followed in the trial.
The minister said those involved in terrorist activities and conspiring against the security and integrity of Pakistan would not be allowed any concession, whether or not they lived in the country.

In observance of my birthday yesterday I decided to go shopping and have a "me" day. I scheduled an appointment to have my nails done, and my eyebrows waxed. Followed by lunch and shopping with my two favorite guys. My son although he is nine still has me pick out his clothes..otherwise he looks like a dork. I love you baby!! Anyway, the jeans he put on were so short they looked like capri pants. They were even shorter when he sat down. He is in an odd stage being almost five feet tall but can still fit into a size 10 or 12 in the waist, but needing a 14 or even a pair of men's jeans for the length. We opted for these from Aeropostale.
They are men's size 27x28, surprisingly they are just a little bit small in the waist but the length fits perfect!
I also found this coat for him at a local consignment store for cheaper than it is on the Abercrombie website.
In an attempt to make our son "more cool" my husband also decided he HAD to have a pair of Converse "Chuck Taylor's". I was never into the whole "Chuck" thing growing up but they have made a comeback so I guess if he likes them he can wear them..if not, he still has his Nike's.
I have a splitting headache and think after a LONG day of shopping I'm going to go take a hot bath and cuddle up with my book until my hubby comes to bed.

Stay in Cancun Mexico Resorts for a Fun Vacation
Cancun, a Mayan word meaning 'a nest of snakes or pot' in itself is not exactly an inviting name. But contrary to its meaning, this island is paradise for nature lovers and historians because it is home to archeological sites, crystal clear sea, white sandy beaches and dense forests. Therefore, there are lots of reasons for anyone to plan a vacation here beginning with a booking at one of the Cancun Mexico resorts. Irrespective of whether it is a corporate executive, party-goers or a pair of love-birds, the blend of ethnic aestheticism with contemporary facilities offered by Cancun Mexico resorts never fails to fascinate one and all.
Having arrived in the city and settled at one of the Cancun Mexico resorts, it is time to explore the various attractions as also the activities which the place has to offer. There are few in the world who can resist the temptation of hitting the sand and taking a dip in the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea. In this regard, the pristine beaches in Riviera Maya are some of the best in the world, especially for swimming on a bright and sunny day. Although Cancun Mexico resorts boast of their own private beaches, it is a law in Mexico for all sea-fronts to be public areas which is why these are accessible to all.
No matter which of the Cancun Mexico resorts you choose, hearing about the legendary Yucatan Peninsula ruins is inevitable. Even if you are not a historical freak, you would still be fascinated by the spectacular archeological sites showcasing the Mayan culture at its best. While sites like Chichen-Itza and Coba are well known for being ranked as one of the seven wonders of this world, there are lesser known excursions as well like Ek Balam and Muyil which are equally engaging. Since Cancun Mexico resorts organize conducted tours to these areas all that is required is to inform the staff.
Snorkeling is a must when nestled in Cancun Mexico resorts and not just because the Caribbean is one of the best snorkeling locations in the world, but because there are amazing facilities to facilitate this activity. Whether you are an expert or an amateur, it is just a matter of time before you identify a location which matches your talents and preferences and embark on an underwater adventure. As the staff at Cancun Mexico resorts would inform you, this part of the sea is also replete with cenotes, meaning natural sink holes which are a must-see during snorkeling.
For wildlife lovers, nothing could beat the experience gained by getting close and personal with sea-life at the Interactive Aquarium. The best thing about this attraction is that it is located in close proximity to most of the Cancun Mexico resorts and hence all that is required of the tourist is to walk up to the place. Once inside, visitors can not only pet rays and sharks but nurse them as well not to mention touching the various starfish and swimming with the dolphins. Another attraction which Cancun Mexico resorts suggest is 'Wet n Wild' which houses a sizeable dolphin population as well.
Unlikely though it might seem, but if you have had enough of beaches and swimming, then there is another activity which you can indulge in while enjoying the luxury of Cancun Mexico resorts, namely bird watching. Being a tropical paradise, Cancun is home to many different avian species which can be spotted even without venturing into the wild. All this physical activity is undoubtedly going to leave you famished and this is the time to indulge in ethnic Mexican cuisine of tortillas, salsa, guacamole, tequila and cerveza, as the beer is called, served at Cancun Mexico resorts.
Julia Bennet - About Author:
There comes a time when everyone likes to take a break at Cancun Mexico resorts and do everything that they have always wanted to do. In this regard staying in the lap of luxury offered by Cancun Mexico resorts is one of the best ways to visit all the attractions and have fun in the city.

Proper documentation of the loans was never made
From a milestone article in the NYT,
Stated simply, the notes that underlie mortgages placed in securitization trusts must be assigned to those trusts soon after the firms create them. And any transfers of these notes must also be recorded.
But this seems not to have been a priority with many big banks. The result is that bankruptcy judges are finding that institutions claiming to hold the notes that back specific mortgages often cannot prove it.
How about that? As it stands, if the alleged owner of the loan cannot produce the note, then, foreclosure cannot take place.
And continues,
Samuel L. Bufford, a federal bankruptcy judge in Los Angeles since 1985, has overseen some 100,000 bankruptcy cases. He said that in previous years, he rarely asked for documentation in a foreclosure case but that problems encountered in mortgage securitizations have made him become more demanding.
In a recent case, Judge Bufford said, he asked a lender to produce the original of the note and it turned out to be different from the copy that had been previously submitted to the court. The original had been assigned to a bank that had then transferred it to Freddie Mac, the judge explained. "They had no clue what happened after that," he said. "Now somebody's got to go find that note."
"My guess is it's because in the secondary mortgage market they have been sloppy," Judge Bufford added. "The people who put the deals together get paid for the deals, but they don't get paid for the paperwork."
Judge Bufford is also the co-author of the following presentation to the Bankruptcy Court Judges: Where's the Note, Who's the Holder.
To the point, demand by all means proof of ownership of the loan from the bank or loan servicer.
Update: Don Iannitti from Mortgage Professional, recommends lender officers to include in their loan modification package the essential investor loan modification approval, as well as loan ownwership proof, in order to smooth sail the loss mitigation process involved.

Moscow (Jun. 26)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
From two to three million poods of grain are expected to be reaped by the Jewish settlers in the Districts of Cherson, Krivoy Rog and Crimea at the coming harvest, if no bad weather interferes, despatches received here from the colonies state.
Altogether, 13,650 desiatin of land were sown by the Jewish colonists in the districts of Cherson, Krivoy Rog and Crimea.
The problem of obtaining sufficient help during the harvest period is causing some anxiety among the Jewish setters. They feel that assistance is needed in order to harvest the crop while Merezhin, leader of the Comzet, the governmental department for settling Jews on the land, refused to permit the colonists to employ land workers, declaring that the hiring of labor by the colonists would be a "serious moral blow."
James N. Rosenberg, vice-chairman of the Joint Distribution Committee, is returning today on the steamer "Deutschland" from Europe, where he visited Russia, Poland and other countries where the Joint Distribution Committee is carrying on its relief work.
Eighteen thousand dollars for the Keren Hayesod was raised in Ottawa, Canada. The Jewish community of Ottawa, consisting of five hundred families, raised this sum in two days.
Mr. A. J. Freiman, President of the Zionist Organization of Canada, headed the list of contributors with $5,000.
Rabbi J. L. Zlotnik, of Montreal. Dr. Elias Margolis, of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., and Mr. S. J. Rodman, Secretary of the Dominion of Canada Keren Hayesod, delivered the principal addresses at the meeting launching the campaign.

Building on the capabilities of Honeycomb, GoPayment allows people and businesses selling products or services to process credit card payments no matter where they are–on the road, in a store or at their home.
GoPayment for Honeycomb lets users:
- Take photos of frequently sold items – Using a device's camera, save time by photographing products and storing details to create a visual product list to quickly take customer orders.
- Drag and drop frequently sold items from a product list – Quickly complete a sale by dragging and dropping items into the shopping cart and easily add or delete items as needed.
- Work within an easy-to-view, large-screen environment – Easily view transactions and work faster when processing payments on a tablet.
- Find data quickly – Find items in a product list or locate past transactions using new search capabilities. Authorize transactions with touch screen signature – For added security and professionalism, customers can quickly sign a tablet's touch screen to authorize their transactions.
- Swipe cards within seconds – Save time and money by swiping a card instead of entering numbers manually with support for a variety of credit card readers. All compatible card readers also encrypt the credit card data for added protection.
"We are excited about bringing one of the first mobile payment apps to Honeycomb," said Chris Hylen, vice president and general manager of Intuit's Payment Solutions division. "We are continually looking to support the newest mobile platforms and devices so that more people can start taking credit card payments no matter where they are."
Availability and Pricing
Intuit will publicly demo GoPayment for Honeycomb at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, from Feb. 14 to 17 at the Android booth. GoPayment for Honeycomb is expected to be available this spring on Android Market.
The GoPayment app is free and offers various pricing plans including no monthly fees and a free Intuit Credit Card Reader for people who are just getting started. For those who frequently process credit cards, there is also a plan with lower rates for higher-volume processing. GoPayment has no set-up, cancellation or gateway fees.
