fellow artists:
Nice sketchbook here. I really like those character thumbs in post #1032 and the cool character design in #1045 though I can see some shading issues with the central character's thighs - they are a bit too bright. Generally I'd say that you should pay more attention to shading and definition of cast shadows.
I'd second jatherip's tip on using ref for the last sketch. Some color composition studies would also be nice. Your colors are a bit unbalanced even on that polished pic in #1035.

I like how the blue warrior is coming along. I think you could use some more rim-lighting around him and the monster.
As for your most recent post, I think the creature on the left looks better.

Kiwanis Club to move meetings to the Key Club
Date: October 30, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
For more than 10 years, the Kiwanis Club of Longboat Key met for weekly breakfasts at 7:30 a.m. Thursdays, at The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort's main dining room. But this Thursday, Nov. 5, will be the group's last meeting at The Colony. Beginning Thursday, Nov. 12, the Kiwanis Club will meet at The Grille at the Longboat Key Club and Resort's Harbourside location.
According to Kiwanis Club President Bob Tucker, the decision to move the meetings was a mutual one. After The Colony suspended operations of its hotel and shops, the club moved its meetings to The Monkey Room to eat a continental buffet instead of a hot breakfast. Tucker said that the move will be more convenient for both the Colony and the Kiwanis Club, because The Monkey Room is otherwise closed on Thursdays.
"The Kiwanis Club really enjoyed meeting at The Colony for such a long period of time," Tucker said. "We enjoyed the venue and the view of the Gulf … We're sad to be leaving."

Donna Tarnef Pitzorella i did get in trouble,i had a blonde /yellow streak put in my hair, and it looked awful, I had to have it colored the next day or don't come home.
Francie Beyering Skinner I am naturally a strawberry blonde, tried Sun-in that my father bought for me and tried adding bleach to my shampoo in Jr. high. In high school, my hairstylist wanted to try something new with my hair and she gave me blonde highlights for free. She is the reason I became a hairstylist. I never got in trouble for any of the color changes.
Lisa Moon Nope I dye it electric banana while they were sleeping my mom woke me up in the morning and freaked ! I was not allowed to go anywhere in public with them.
Kathy Davis Mundhenk No. Didn't get in trouble. Got a frosting tip highlight lit from the store. Did too much on one side, so went and bought another. I was chicken yellow, orange, and white all over the top and dark underneath. I looked like a smacked ass.
Deb Clark Ward ok ashamed to admit but no i didn't have permission so i used color the same as natural, duh! hahaha got away with it.
Yolanda Hernandez Parent did NOT know. I have dark brown hair, and thought my hair would be that BEAUTIFUL Dark Red shade on the box? NOOOOOOPE! My hair came out orange, and my older brother kept calling me Abe, for Abe Lincoln since I looked like a copper penny!
Miguel N Abi Vargas My mom took me to Mexico paid 15dollars for beautiful highlights ... and last year I gave my 3 and 2 year old girls a few streaks of blonde just to add their story ha!
Linda Taylor Bernal I started putting straight peroxide on my hair, till it turned nasty yellow. Then hit the drug store for a box color! Ended up going from bad to worse! Ended up at my Mom's hairstylist getting it fixed. And that was only the beginning!!! My attitude was don't ask permission if you think they might say no! Just do it!!
Kristin Bess 1997 in the basement bathroom with bleach and cherry kool aid. My mom flipped the first time but then realized hair was my passion so she let up.
Wendy Mank-Cannon My mom use to let me use her left over frost&tip. Then she started buying me my own. I was in 7th grade. I am so dating myself frost&tip.Now I'm in the beauty industry so it all worked out.
Hannah Britton dyed my hair blue when I was fifteen. I think I dyed most of the bathroom too and consequently was told that next time I was to dye my hair I was to do it in the garden.
Louanne Gingras Nixon My sister in law had just graduated beauty school, pulled my just past shoulder length hair through a cap. Half of it ended up in the sink. But that started me on a 30 plus year blonde streak. I have worn my hair dark brown level 4 for the last 6 years..... Long lesson learned.

Duluth, MN (KDAL) - The lives of hunters in Saint Louis County just got a little easier. That's because the county is now offering their 'County Land Explorer' tool as a free mobile app. Darren Jablonsky of the 'Planning and Community Development Department' says the tool now allows hunters to determine whether the land they want to hike through or hunt is public or private. The app isn't exclusive to hunters. Jablonsky points out that surveyors, engineers, appraisers and real estate agents will all be able to view and search land records on the fly. The county launched the desktop County Land Explorer earlier this year and it's proven to be one of the most popular features on the website.

NASHVILLE (BP) -- After two weeks in theaters, Paramount Studios' Bible-inspired movie "Noah" has generated more than $76 million in ticket sales and continues to provoke discussion among Christian commentators -- including suggestions that the film's director, Darren Aronofsky, drew inspiration from the ancient heresy of Gnosticism.
Gnosticism, a religion that flourished during the first four centuries after Jesus' birth, teaches that all physical matter is evil and that the goal of life is to attain "secret knowledge" that will free humans from entrapment in the physical world. Physical matter is an accident created by an inferior deity, according to Gnosticism. Early Christian leaders, perhaps including some New Testament authors, refuted Gnosticism in their writings.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that Americans are reading the biblical story of Noah in Genesis at an increased rate in response to the movie, which stars Russell Crowe in the title role. The weekend of Noah's release, biblegateway.com saw a 223 percent increase in views of Genesis 6-9. A Facebook survey by the American Bible Society found that 87 percent of respondents were reading the story of Noah because of conversations about the film.
Under an agreement with National Religious Broadcasters, Paramount added to Noah's opening credits the message, "The film is inspired by the story of Noah. While artistic license has been taken, we believe that this film is true to the essence, values and integrity of a story that is a cornerstone of faith for millions of people worldwide. The biblical story of Noah can be found in the book of Genesis." But some question whether Aronofsky's recasting truly reflects the Bible's "essence, values and integrity."
"We are so living in the leftover atmosphere of Christendom that when somebody says they want to do 'Noah,' everybody assumes they mean a rendition of the Bible story," Brian Mattson, senior scholar of public theology at the Center for Cultural Leadership, said in a blog post. "That isn't what Aronofsky had in mind at all. I'm sure he was only too happy to let his studio go right on assuming that, since if they knew what he was really up to they never would have allowed him to make the movie."
Noah is filled with Gnostic theology, Mattson said, specifically a form of Jewish Gnosticism called Kabbalah that was popularized by the singer Madonna. Aronofsky's first feature film, "Pi," had Kabbalah as part of its subject matter as well. Among the Gnostic references in Noah cited by Mattson:
-- Adam and Eve are depicted as luminescent and fleshless until they eat the forbidden fruit and are relegated to the evil material world.
-- Lesser divine beings (the film's giant rock creatures) redeem themselves, shed their material nature and return to the heavens.
-- As in Gnosticism, earth's creator in Noah seems at times to be a violent lower deity.
-- Gnostics' concept of the serpent as a representation of the true god dovetails with Aronofskys portrayal of a serpent skin from the Garden of Eden as the key to receiving blessing. Before Noah turns from a murderous frenzy and professes love for his newborn granddaughters, he kills his archrival and recovers the serpent skin -- possibly a source of inspiration for his enlightened perspective.
-- The rainbow in Noah is circular like an important sign in Kabbalah. The rainbow appears not as the sign of a covenant between God and Noah, but appears after Noah wraps the serpent skin around his arm and blesses his family.
The movie "was a thoroughly pagan retelling of the Noah story direct from Kabbalist and Gnostic sources," Mattson said. "To my mind, there is simply no doubt about this." He charged Christian theologians who gave the movie positive reviews with "a bit of theological malpractice."
"I'm not condemning or shaming anybody for seeing the film, talking about the film, debating the film, or even enjoying the film," he said. "I'm concerned that Christian leaders were basically asked to 'vet' the film for their constituents, and they came to conclusions that simply missed the themes I've highlighted."
J. Lee Grady, contributing editor of Charisma Magazine, also noted the Gnostic references, calling Noah "convoluted, bizarre and blasphemous."
Aronofsky's goal, Grady said in an online commentary, "was to create an alternative version of the Genesis story -- one that is more in line with ancient Gnostic heresies than with the Bible. And when Paramount Pictures pressured Aronofsky to re-edit the film to please evangelical Christians, he refused."
Grady cited the magical serpent skin and giant rock creatures who help Noah build the ark as details drawn from Gnostic and mystical traditions. Jewish mystics "suggested that the angels God cast out of heaven after creation were encased in rock and walked around helping human beings," Grady said. "In Noah, the giants, called 'watchers,' chop down the wood for the massive ark and defend it from an invading army. All this made for some great digital effects, but the Bible says God cast these disobedient angels into hell (2 Pet. 2:4), not to earth, and they certainly weren't sent here to help mankind."
Malcolm Yarnell, professor of systematic theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, said the Gnostic references in Noah are an example of Gnosticism's larger comeback. A Gnostic outlook "appeals to the vague spirituality that has ballooned recently in Western culture, especially among those that have been identified as 'spiritual, but not religious,'" Yarnell told Baptist Press in written comments.
Some contemporary scholars "have made a whole industry" out of studying Gnostic Gospels and posing them as an alternative to biblical orthodoxy, Yarnell said. But Gnosticism's mixing of Christian and pagan beliefs is unbiblical, as is its claim of secret knowledge about God, he said.
"Any claim for knowledge of God that goes beyond the texts of the canon of Scripture taps into the secretive urge of the Gnostic outlook," he said. "In response, we note that God the Holy Spirit inspired and preserved for us a publicly-available text, which we call the Holy Bible, and it has included therein all that we need to know about God, much less Noah."
Christians should use the movie as an opportunity for sharing the Good News of Jesus, Yarnell said.
Lost men and women "will have questions about Noah and the God behind Noah," he said. "Use the opportunity of the movie to tell them about God and His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. But do so while exercising discernment. Be sure to correct misconceptions about Noah, and especially misconceptions about God. Use the opportunity of the movie, but use it wisely."

I know what the definition of HELLP is, but what exactly does it mean...what does it do (or what would it do if untreated) to your body? I know the low blood platelets have something to do with clotting? I found out after my c-section that I had HELLP. So I don't know if the doctor found out before, during or after the c-section. She did say that I was on the severe end of the spectrum and that I was lucky that they delivered me that day. So if it had been a few days later, what would have happened? Would my blood have stopped clotting? Would they not have been able to do a c-section?
Also, I was wondering if there was anything I should ask at my six week appointment. I had tests for underlying disorders before I got pregnant (I don't have any). Should I expect or request to do any labs? Or will I be pretty much back to normal? I'm on bp meds now, I was on them for six weeks after the birth of my first son. I expect my blood pressure to sort of taper off and return to normal like it did with my first.
Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Cholesterol and Stroke
Topic Overview
Cholesterol is a waxy substance necessary for all living tissue. The body manufactures most of the cholesterol it needs. Additional cholesterol is taken in from certain foods we eat.
Too much cholesterol in the blood is not healthy because it can build up in the walls of arteries, causing the blood vessels to narrow (atherosclerosis). Narrowed blood vessels carry less blood and may increase a person's risk for a stroke or heart attack.
Lowering cholesterol levels in the blood makes good sense, especially for people who are at risk for a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke. Diet changes and, if necessary, drugs can be used to keep blood cholesterol at an acceptable level.
Treatment with cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins can slow the development of atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries for some people and may reduce the chance of having a TIA or stroke, especially for people who have a history of coronary artery disease. For more information, see the topic High Cholesterol.

SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO-AM) The River Greenway pedestrian bridge in downtown Sioux Falls opened this morning. The bridge has received some extensive improvements over the past several weeks. Representatives from Lloyd Companies, Hegg Companies, Downtown Sioux Falls, Inc. (DTSF), and Sioux Falls Parks and Recreation celebrated the opening of the pedestrian bridge linking the River Greenway trail to the downtown district. A new ramp will be added to the west side of the bridge in the coming weeks to bring the project to completion.
The City of Sioux Falls invested just more than $83,000, DTSF donated accent lighting, and Lumber Exchange Building and Hilton Garden Inn contributed $20,000 toward the renovation of the bridge.
Don Kearney, Director of Sioux Falls Parks and Recreation, stated, "We are thrilled that visitors from the Hilton Garden Inn and other east bank employees and customers will have yet another east/west access into the downtown district. The refurbished bridge also will encourage more use of the River Greenway."
Jason Dennison, president of DTSF, said, "This is a significant project for downtown. This bridge supports our vision of a pedestrian-friendly and walkable urban environment. It is the connecting element between downtown and the River Greenway. It is a cause of celebration for our community, and we invite all residents to share in the unique experience that only our downtown can provide. We wish to thank all those who have worked to complete this project; we are grateful for their efforts."
The abandoned railroad bridge was built in the early 1900s and was part of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railroad. It is approximately 215 feet long. The bridge connected the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railroad to the Rock Island Depot, which is currently the Great Outdoor Store in downtown Sioux Falls.

GENERIC NAME: abatacept
BRAND NAME: Orencia
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Abatacept is an injectable, synthetic (man-made) protein produced by recombinant DNA technology that is used for treating rheumatoid arthritis. It is an immunesuppressant, a drug that suppresses the immune system that is similar to alefacept (Amevive) and belatacept (Nulojix). The immune system is responsible for protecting the body against foreign invaders, for example, infectious agents such as bacteria. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, however, the immune system attacks and destroys normal tissue in and around the joints, causing pain, inflammation and damage to bone and cartilage. T-lymphocytes are important cells of the immune system. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have increased numbers of T-lymphocytes within the joints that are inflamed. The T-lymphocytes are "activated," that is, they multiply and release chemicals that promote the destruction of tissues surrounding the joints and cause the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Abatacept acts like an antibody and attaches to a protein on the surface of T-lymphocytes. By attaching to the protein, abatacept prevents the activation of the T-lymphocytes and blocks both the production of new T-lymphocytes and the production of the chemicals that destroy tissue and cause the symptoms and signs of arthritis. Abatacept relieves the symptoms and signs of arthritis and is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) because it slows the damage to bones and cartilage and improves physical function. Abatacept was approved by the FDA in December 2005.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PREPARATIONS: Powder for Injection: 250 mg. Prefilled Syringe: 125 mg/ml.
STORAGE: Abatacept should be refrigerated between 2-8 C (36-46 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Abatacept is used alone or in combination with other DMARDs for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. It also is used alone or combined with methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall) for treating juvenile idiopathic arthritis in pediatric patients 6 years of age or older. Abatacept should not be combined with the disease-modifying TNF antagonists (for example, etanercept [Enbrel], adalimumab [Humira] and infliximab [Remicade]).
DOSING: For adult patients, abatacept is infused over 30 minutes or injected under the skin. Patients weighing < 60 kg should receive a 500 mg dose, weighing 60-100 kg a 750 mg dose and weighing >100 kg a 1000 mg dose. The initial dose of abatacept is followed by additional doses two and four weeks after the first infusion with further doses every four weeks thereafter. Alternatively, adults may receive 125 mg by subcutaneous injection one day after the initial weight-based dose and then 125 mg by subcutaneous injection once weekly.
Patients 6 to 17 years old weighing less than 75 kg should receive a 10 mg/kg infusion initially. Pediatric patients weighing more than 75 kg should receive the adult infusion doses. The initial dose of abatacept is followed by additional doses two and four weeks after the first infusion with further doses every four weeks thereafter.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Combining abatacept with TNF antagonists (for example, Enbrel, Humira and Remicade) increases the occurrence of infections and provides no additional relief of symptoms. Abatacept may reduce the effect of live vaccines. Live vaccines should not be given at the same time as abatacept or within three months of discontinuation of abatacept. Pediatric patients should receive all recommended immunizations prior to starting abatacept.
PREGNANCY: Abatacept has not been adequately evaluated in pregnant women.
NURSING MOTHERS: Abatacept has not been adequately evaluated in women who are breastfeeding.

The Community Development Department is recommending approval of the club's use permit and site plan.
The lot has been used for public purposes since 1881, when Sandy's first schoolhouse was built there. Then came a high school, city hall, library and senior center. That center was demolished in 1998 because of structural damage and electrical problems.
What's next
The Sandy Planning Commission is scheduled to vote on whether to approve a conditional-use permit and site plan for the Sandy Club at a meeting beginning at 6:15 p.m. Thursday at City Hall, 10000 Centennial Parkway. The meeting will take place in Room 341 at the east end of the building.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Under a contract with Sandy, the land and the building on it would become the city's property if the club ever ceases operations.
On Friday, the club was filled with children playing games, doing homework and showing off their skills in the weekly talent show. They talked about how much they liked participating in the activities and seeing their friends.
"This is a safe place and I like being here," 6-year-old Miguel Villa said.
Lilibeth Galeana has been coming to the club since she was 6 years old. Now 19, she is a staff member there and the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship from the club that will allow her to study for a bachelor's degree at Westminster College after completing her sophomore year at Salt Lake Community College.
"They helped to prepare me for college," Galeana said of the club employees and volunteers. "They mentored me my whole life."
Councilman Dennis Tenney, who serves as the liaison between the Sandy Club and the City Council, praised the club staff and volunteers for teaching youths respect, discipline and leadership skills.
"I'm convinced that once that facility is in, those who are the most ardent opponents will be the biggest supporters," Tenney said. "This club performs an invaluable function. It fills a huge humanitarian and social and educational need for children."

Stealthily sneaking between the shelves of The Raven Bookstore crept Ngaio, a standoffish black cat. Her companion, Dashiell, slept in a fuzzy basket behind the register.
Chip Badley, a clerk at the store, said he thinks of the two animals as his own.
"The cats are the best co-workers I could have had," Badley said. "You're the cool uncle here. You come in and you get to have your cat fix for four or five hours a day. You kind of live vicariously through the cats and you don't have to do too much."
Some of the businesses in downtown Lawrence keep animals to attract customers and create a comfortable atmosphere.
And the Great Plains SPCA is launching a new program in hopes of turning more shelter cats into office cats.
Love Garden, a record store on Massachusetts Street, have Mickey and Sam, which customers occasionally refer to as "meowsic experts."
Franklin Fantini, an employee at the store, said customers often come in just to see the felines.
"I think animals make people better," Fantini said. "It changes the store. They make it more of a calming place."
Courtney Thomas, the director of the Great Plains SPCA, said shelters are beginning to look to offices as a new place to foster cats.
"It's a great way for people to enjoy the benefits of companionship while they're at work," she said.
Great Plains SPCA just started reaching out to businesses and office spaces, even offering to pay for food, toys and other expenses.
Shelters often receive an influx of kittens during spring months, and allowing workplaces to adopt or foster at least one cat could lighten SPCA's burden.
"Shelters get flooded with pets who just need a place to go," Thomas explained. "What better way to do that than to get businesses involved."
The hope is that having the cats in the workplace will help promote them as great adoption candidates and lead them to having happy homes. The shelter said that studies show workers are more productive and happy when you have a furry friend curling around your legs (unless you are allergic to one of those furry co-workers).
Badley said the bookstore cats not only attract customers, they've become de facto mascots for the shop. The store now sells postcards and other merchandise with pictures of Ngaio and Dashiell, who are named for famous authors Ngaio Marsh and Dashiell Hammett.
But he cautioned that cats can have their disadvantages and require a certain amount of patience.
"Sometimes the cats get a little feisty and decide they want to become cashiers and step on the keyboard or get in the way of customers," he said.
Fantini, who has devoted an entire Instagram to the cats at Love Garden, said the animals cause similar mischief in the record store and occasionally leave messes. You can see their adventures by clicking this link.
But both said the cats are worth the trouble, as long as everyone pitches in to help look after the corporate kitties.
"We all just kind of collectively own the cat," Badley explained.

Taylor Swift says the one-take video for her new single, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," was a big challenge due to five costume changes.
Bing: Taylor Swift's Kennedy boyfriend
She tells MTV News, "All modesty had to go out the window. All my clothes were put together with Velcro and snaps so that I could have three different outfits layered on top of each other. The costume changes were really hectic. (We did them) in real time; it was crazy. At one point, I had a breaking point. 'I can't do five costume changes. There's not enough time!' but we ended up being able to do it."
Swift's band members dressed up in animal costumes for the video, but the singer says they were hesitant about the idea at first.
More: Taylor sets female digital sales record
She adds, "All of (a) sudden, they wheel in their costume rack, full of animal costumes, and they were so mad. It was hilarious. They were so angry. It took a couple (of) hours, but they finally embraced it. It ended up being absolutely hilarious. They are really funny in that video. They owned it."

No hunters killed in 2012January 17,2013BENNINGTON Vermonts Department of Fish and Wildlife says no hunters were injured or killed while in the woods last year, the first time in four decades.
Chris Saunders of the department said 2010 had formerly been the lowest on record, with only two incidents.
Saunders said the three main injury types are when a hunter shoots someone else thinking they are game, shoots someone else while shooting at game, or shoots himself or another when the gun fires unintentionally.
The Bennington Banner reported that 1981 was the worst year for hunting injuries with a total of 27 incidents, one of them being fatal. The highest number of fatalities came in 1973, with four incidents out of a total of 18.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryStaff Report Full Story

Monday was (another) dreadful day for Bank of America. The bank's shares closed at a two-year low, thanks in part to AIG's double whammy: a $10 billion fraud suit against BofA and the insurer's simultaneous motion to intervene in opposition to BofA's proposed $8.5 billion settlement with Countrywide mortgage-backed securities noteholders. Bank of America and Countrywide's securitization trustee, Bank of New York Mellon, thought the $8.5 billion deal would put their MBS woes behind them. Instead the proposed settlement seems to have made the two banks into bigger targets than they were before reaching an agreement with 22 big MBS investors.
There's plenty of reason for BofA to worry about the AIG fraud suit. First off, the New York state court complaint was filed by Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, a familiar opponent for Bank of America. Quinn is counsel to the bond insurer MBIA in its MBS litigation against Countrywide, in which New York state supreme court judge Eileen Bransten has consistently sided with MBIA and Quinn Emanuel. (Among other crucial rulings, Judge Bransten rejected Bank of America's preliminary argument that it's not liable for Countrywide's missteps.) Quinn also represents Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which forced Bank of America into a $2.8 billion settlement of MBS claims in January, and Allstate, which filed a $700 million MBS case against Countrywide in December. Different Quinn Emanuel lawyers are involved in the various BofA and Countrywide cases, but the firm isn't starting from scratch.
The AIG fraud complaint is also a canny document. The suit lumps together allegations against Countrywide, Merrill Lynch, and BofA, painting all of them with the same tarry brush even though Countrywide and Merrill Lynch committed a good chunk of the alleged wrongdoing before they became part of BofA. Quinn includes public record information about their manifestly-deficient underwriting practices, but has brought the case as a fraud suit — not a contract case accusing BofA, Countrywide, and Merrill of breaching the representations and warranties on the mortgage loans underlying the securitizations AIG invested in. That way, AIG doesn't have to show that it controls 25 percent of the voting rights, the threshold for standing in a securitization contract case. But under the causes of action the complaint asserts — state-law claims and federal claims under the Securities Act of 1933 — Quinn Emanuel doesn't have to show that BofA, Countrywide, and Merrill acted with fraudulent intent.
Quinn partners Michael Carlinsky and Philippe Selendy, who signed the AIG complaint, also undoubtedly know that even if Bank of America's $8.5 billion settlement is approved by Manhattan state supreme court judge Barbara Kapnick, their fraud case won't be wiped out. BofA's deal with the 22 MBS noteholders who negotiated the proposed settlement is expressly limited to investors' breach-of-warranty claims. It doesn't resolve securities fraud claims; in fact, three of the investors backing the proposed settlement have since sued Countrywide for fraud.
That's why it's so interesting that AIG filed its motion to intervene in the proposed settlement on the same day that it filed the fraud suit. The intervention petition, filed not by Quinn Emanuel but by Reilly Pozner, raises the now-familiar assertions that investors aren't getting a big enough cash payout and that Bank of New York Mellon had a conflict in negotiating the deal because BofA agreed to indemnify BNY Mellon in a side-letter. But AIG is the first objector also to take aim at Gibbs & Bruns, the law firm that's counsel to the 22 institutional investors that negotiated the proposed settlement.

Anonymous surfing with Java Anonymous Proxy
Many Websites log IP addresses and access times to identify users. If you don't want to wind up as data in someone's market research, the Java Anonymous Proxy will keep your surfing secret.
Unless you happen to be a VIP, you can drop into a baker's shop anywhere but in your own home town and pay cash for a loaf of bread without revealing your personal data. Nobody will record the way you move or attempt to discover your behavior patterns. In day-to-day life, anonymity is the rule. In contrast, the Internet allows seamless logging of visitor traffic on websites. This continuous data collection allows for unique visitor identification; all it takes to identify a user is a short phone call to your provider, who is easily identified via a whois entry, to get your personal data. Governments have passed laws to prevent the most extreme misappropriation of personal data, but Internet users with static IP addresses are still easily identified on the web through a simple whois request.

OCEAN CITY, Md. - New details emerge on two Ocean City brothers, Basel and Samir Ramadan arrested for their alleged involvement in a multi-million dollar cigarette smuggling ring.
Authorities believe they may have been funding an international terrorist organization.Another man involved in the scheme, Adel Abuzahrieh from Staten Island, N.Y. is being held at SCI in Georgetown, after troopers arrested the him during a traffic stop near Milford. Police say they found more than 200 cases of cigarettes in the box truck he was driving and seized at least $15,000 in cash.
We've also learned the Ramadan brothers have some legal issues with the State of Maryland. We spoke with Comptroller Peter Franchot, who says the state is working with the New York Task Force to help combat this issue.
"It validates my fear that cigarette smuggling is becoming the go-to crime for organized criminals," said Comp. Peter Franchot. "It's very lucrative and the penalties are very small."
Ocean City officials confirm that the brothers owned at least four businesses off of Coastal Highway: two Subways, Village Market and 9th Street Market.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - SEPTEMBER 22: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg delivers a keynote address during the Facebook f8 conference on September 22, 2011 in San Francisco, California. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg kicked off the conference introducing a Timeline feature to the popular social network. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
Facebook's pitch to investors to fund its initial public offering began with a rough patch, after a slick video and CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg's appearance before New York investors in a hoodie were not well-received, according to reports.
Investors in New York City, the first stop on Facebook's coast-to-coast tour meant to cozy up with capital, were irked to be greeted by a half-hour long video, according to Reuters.
Investors wanted instead more time to quiz Zuckerberg and other company brass on business strategy.
That's what they got on the company's second stop, an investor meeting in Boston on Tuesday. The video was ditched -- as was Zuckerberg, according to reports. The reason for his absence was not revealed. In his stead, Sheryl Sandberg, the company's chief operating officer, fielded questions from some of the 200 investors present, Reuters reported.
Once Facebook does go public, shares in the company are expected to fetch $28 to $35 each, according to Reuters. That would value the company at between $77 billion and $96 billion, and raise $10.6 billion in cash via the IPO, the news service reported.
While investors liked more face time with executives and less time staring at a video, even that didn't please all: some Boston-based investors said they wanted to quiz Zuckerberg, who in New York answered questions about his $1 billion acquisition of Instagram, Reuters reported.
