The State of Alaska Health and Social Services, Bureau of Vital Statistics, maintains and issues statewide vital data, including divorce records. The three state offices in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau accept walk in, mail order and faxed requests for Alaska divorce records.
In person requests must be made during business hours at the state offices, but same day service is not guaranteed. You are likely to have to wait up to 4 weeks for a copy of an Alaska divorce record ordered through the mail, unless you pay an additional fee for expedited service within three business days. Faxed requests to the state offices have an extra charge for this method and typically take up to five days of processing time.
The quickest, most convenient, and surprisingly affordable, way to access Alaska divorce records in online though a professional, authorized vital record service like this one. You can order your official state divorce record 24/7 just by filling in the search boxes you see right on this page – results are oftentimes possible within just minutes!
The current fee set by the State of Alaska Health and Social Services for a certified copy of a divorce certificate is $25. Each additional copy of the same certificate ordered at the same time is $20. By Alaska law, the fee applies to the search for the divorce record and is non-refundable whether or not the certificate is found. However, if any additional copies were requested and the certificate wasn't located, the fees for the extras will be refunded.

In Alaska, divorce records are not public information. This is a "Closed Records" state where divorce records are considered confidential until 50 years after the date on the certificate.
Either individual named on the divorce record or his or her legal representatives, or other authorized persons or agencies, may request a certified copy of the dissolution of marriage certificate. Photo ID with a signature, or an enlarged, legible copy of this identification, is required to access Alaska divorce records. .
Make sure that both names on your Alaska divorce record request are spelled correctly. Be prepared to state your relationship to the parties named on the record, whether one of the persons is yourself or you are representing one of those individuals. Also, mention your reason for requesting Alaska divorce records, such as for your personal files, to apply for benefits, or to have legal proof of the dissolution of marriage. It's so quick, easy and safe to obtain your official Alaska divorce record through our authorized search box system right on this page!

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- LoanLove.com is a borrowers advice website that focuses on providing in-depth information that even the most experienced home owners can learn from, in an easy-to-understand and even entertaining way so that first-time home buyers can also benefit. A recent article featured on the website continues to help borrowers to obtain loans they will love by answering the question "What's an excellent credit score?" and giving tips on how to improve credit in order to benefit from lower loan rates.
The Loan Love guide starts off by saying, "Having a less-than-stellar credit score can become problematic in a variety of ways. For example, it can make getting a loan difficult in addition to making it hard to rent an apartment and expensive to buy car insurance. Not to mention the fact that some employers take your credit rating into account when considering you for a job. Therefore, having an excellent credit rating is important. To learn more about credit ratings, what's a good one and how to raise yours, continue reading below."
The article then briefly explains what a credit score is and why it is important, especially for those who are attempting to get a good home loan approved. The article says, "You may wonder how much of an impact your credit score can have on your life. In short, your credit score can greatly impact many aspects of your life. For example, a good credit score will mean you qualify for the best loans in regards to interests rates and loan terms."
Loan Love then lists the different credit score brackets and what they mean for those applying for a loan. The list is as follows:
• "Credit score below 620: A credit score of 620 or lower places you in the "sub-prime" borrower category. If you are considered a sub-prime borrower, you will likely pay 3 percent more on a mortgage loan than someone with excellent credit and will likely pay double-digit interest rates on a home equity loan or a line of credit.
• Credit score of 620 to 674: This credit score range is still considered below optimal. If your credit score falls in this range, you will likely pay 2 percent more than borrowers who boast excellent credit ratings.
• Credit score of 675 to 719: If you find yourself in this credit score range, you should find it relatively easy to procure a good loan. You will typically pay up to half a percentage point more than a borrower who has excellent credit in regards to a loan.
• Credit score of 720 and above: If you possess a credit score at or above 720, you have an excellent credit score. This means you will be able to acquire a lender's most favorable rates and you are in the position to shop around thus finding the best loan for you in regards to term, interest rates and other factors."
The article also gives some tips for those whose credit scores fall beneath the minimum excellent credit score amount. These tips on improving credit scores can not only help those who are searching for a loan, but the money saved on the mortgage can help borrowers to improve their life situation as well.
To view these tips and get more information on improving credit scores, please click here to read the full article on LoanLove.com.

This petition is now closed. You can still make a difference in the Care2 community by signing other petitions today.
we've got signatures, help us get to 10,000 by June 12, 2009
The "P" in the REPAIR Act now before the Senate stands for "Protection," yet this bill does the opposite of protecting. It authorizes the killing of free roaming cats and dogs, wild horses, and any other animals unfairly deemed "invasive."
Killing programs, using federal money and under few federal restrictions, would exterminate virtually any feral cat found in the wild. In the past these programs have used painful poisons, body-gripping traps, snares and other cruel procedures to kill animals.
Congress should instead support more humane programs like Trap-Neuter-Return ones that avoid taking animal life. It doesn't have to and shouldn't allow indiscriminate murdering of innocent domestic cats and other animals. Sign the petition to tell your Senator to say "No" to cruel mass killing of feral animals.
If everything looks correct, click sign now. Your signature will not be added until you click the button below.

creos xenoprotect is a biodegradable collagen membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR) and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures. It is composed of a network of interwoven, highly purified porcine collagen and elastin fibers, providing the membrane with very high mechanical strength. The dense mesh holds the bone graft material securely in place, preventing the migration of undesired cells for undisturbed healing.

*The non-cross-linked membrane "Remaix" is distributed by Nobel Biocare under the trade name "creos xeno.protect".
Indication: 7mm buccal probing and mild root resorption at upper central incisor (tooth #21).
Solution: Removal of hopeless tooth with immediate placement of NobelActive implant, bone grafting with a mix of autogenous bone and particulate xenograft, covered by a creos xenoprotect collagen membrane.
View case
Indication: Periapical infection and an open fistulous track toward the root of upper central incisor (tooth #21). It presents a perio-endo lesion and tooth extraction is indicated. Loss of the buccal bone plate, lateral bone augmentation procedure is needed.
Solution: Deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) is used as scaffold and creos xeno.protect collagen membrane as a protective barrier. Dental implant placed after 6 month of uneventful healing.
Indication: Trauma on both upper central incisors in 1994. Teeth were re-implanted and extraction done in November 2012.
Solution: Horizontal ridge augmentation using processed allogenic bone graft and a creos™ xenoprotect porcine collagen membrane. Placement of two NobelActive implants after 6 months of healing.
Indication: Fractured first maxillary left premolar, tooth extraction needed.
Solution: GBR procedure and delayed implant placement.
Indication: Fractured first maxillary left premolar, tooth extraction needed.
Solution: The defect is filled using bovine hydroxyapatite. A creos xenoprotect porcine collagen membrane is used to cover the defect. After 3 months, re-opening of the treated area shows complete regeneration of the previous defect.
Indication: Missing mandibular first molar, crestal bone resorption.
Solution: GBR procedure using creos xenoprotect collagen membrane for augmentation of implant dehiscence after placement of a NobelReplace Conical Connection implant.
Indication: Extraction of hopeless upper first molar, pneumatized maxillary sinus with insufficient bone volume for implant placement.
Solution: Maxillary sinus elevation using creos xenoprotect to cover lateral window.
Indication: Both upper lateral incisors missing, narrow ridge and insufficient bone volume for implant placement.
Solution: GBR procedure using creos xenoprotect collagen membrane for horizontal ridge augmentation.

"What is Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) capable of today?"
"I really like the handling of the material. The fact that it doesn't lose its shape when you place it is a great benefit. It gives you the possibility to take out the membrane and trim it. After a minute or so, when it is soaked, it attaches very nicely to the bone surface and no fixation seems to be necessary."
"It is a thin, easy to handle and quickly moistened membrane that maintains its properties as a barrier. It allows suturing and/or tag fixation, and is easily adapted to the bone defect."
"For over a decade I have used collagen membranes to achieve excellent results, and each type of membrane offered varying benefits. Nobel Biocare has managed to integrate most of them. I was surprised by its rapid and uniform hydration. It is easy to cut and it does not fold itself together. It is ideal for maxillary sinus lift and bone regeneration."

Family's long journey home after Katrina ends when city bulldozes house
City bulldozes house despite ongoing rebuilding work
As she prepared to mark the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Kimberly James had finally found her way home, or so she thought.
Eight years after the hurricane upended her life, James, 47, had outlasted the misery of temporary relocation — first to Texas, then to a Baton Rouge shelter. She had prevailed, more or less, in skirmishes with her insurer, her mortgage company and New Orleans city bureaucrats. The Road Home program had finally coughed up $52,000, and she had a city building permit in hand to rehab her beloved family home on Pauline Street in the Upper 9th Ward.

We are currently running MS Exchange 2003, and I have been asked to investigate implementing some sort of filtering system which can scan incoming and outgoing email for nasties (inc keywords, phrases, attachments, etc).
Budget is limited to a one-time expense which should cover hardware.
Any recommendations for a system that will work with Exchange? I see a lot of references to anti-spam stuff but that is less of an issue for us at present. Other than Censornet we don't currently run any other open source devices so assume I know nothing about Linux! (Not far from the truth, I have just started looking at Ubuntu)

Found December 19, 2012 on Pro Sports Daily:
PLAYERS: Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Washington Redskins, Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns
TEAMS: Washington Redskins, Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns
Robert Griffin III has bigger things to worry about this week as he attempts to come back from a sprained right knee, but the Washington Redskins quarterback was socked with a $10,000 fine Wednesday by the NFL's clothing police. According to the Washington Post and CSN Washington, the fine was issued because Griffin wore clothing adorned with the adidas logo during his press conference following the Redskins' 31-28 overtime win against the Baltimore Ravens on Dec. 9. Griffin was hurt in the game, and CSN Washington reported that he wore an adidas sweatsuit and T-shirt rather than his standard suit and tie while speaking with the media. Griffin has a endorsement agreement with adidas. The NFL has a contract with Nike. Twice earlier this season, Griffin obscured Nike logos on his warmup outfit before road games, but he apparently avoided getting fined until Wednesday. Griffin practiced fully Wednesday and said he hopes to be ready to return to the lineup for Sunday'...

What to expect:
This is the only Medicare RX Part D plan I could find which would allow me to purchase all of the brand name prescriptions I use. It is expensive, but at least I am free to use most of what I have used in the past. The same cannot be said for the rest of the plans in this category.

Doc Doctor's Story Strategies: Should You Put Yourself in Your Documentary?
Doc Doctor Fernanda Rossi explores the myth, "If the structure doesn't work, put yourself in the film."July 31st, 2009 | Fernanda Rossi
Doc Doctor Fernanda Rossi explores whether or not putting yourself as a character or narrator in your documentary film will solve structure problems. Using her expertise as a story consultant for over 300 documentaries, scripts and fundraising trailers, Fernanda discusses whether your presence will make or break your film, by showing you when it works and when there may be a better solution.
Myth #4
"If the structure doesn't work, put yourself in the film." And everything will magically work? Not quite.
The myth in all its glory
Production Insurance for Filmmakers: Understanding the Basics
What you need to know about getting the coverage you need to make your film.July 19th, 2009 | Vanessa Willoughby
Whether you're a seasoned veteran or an up-and-coming independent filmmaker, it's essential to research and understand the intricacies of obtaining insurance. Whether it is for a one-day shoot or an extensive project, there is an abundance of companies out there that will provide insurance packages. Unlike purchasing car insurance, buying film insurance isn't limited to one type of coverage. Everything from the equipment to the film stock itself can have an insurance policy, which the filmmaker may or may not decide is necessary. Fortunately, after careful consideration, The Independent has narrowed it down to the main insurance policies that every filmmaker, regardless of budget, should look into.
Production insurance is probably one of the most important things a filmmaker needs to take into consideration before shooting the project. Why get insurance for your project? Essentially, there are three reasons: Legal, Contractual and Asset Protection.
Prepping Your Film For Distribution
How to make the transition from the editing room to the marketplace.March 19th, 2009 | Jason Brubaker
So, once you finish your film, you actually want people to see it, right? Well, getting your film up on the big screen, or onto a DVD and into the hands of your audience isn't as easy as it seems. There are press kits to put together, posters, DVDs and inserts to design, papers to sign, copyrights to clear, and this is before you even begin promotion. The Independent's Jason Brubaker breaks down the process of both distribution and self-distribution with advice from lawyers, producers and marketing and consulting firms to make it easy--well, easier--for your film to find its audience.
Picture this!
Doc Doctor's Story Strategies: No Conflict, No Film?
In her new column, "Story Strategies: Debunking the Myths of Storytelling," Doc Doctor Fernanda Rossi explores the myth: "If you don't have a conflict you don't have a film."February 19th, 2009 | Fernanda Rossi
In a brand new column for the Independent, Documentary Doctor Fernanda Rossi, story consultant for the 2009 Oscar nominated documentary, The Garden, directed by Scott Hamilton Kennedy (view the trailer here), will expose the myths of documentary storytelling. This month, Rossi tears down a common misconception to which many filmmakers subscribe: No conflict? No film.
Introducing....Story Strategies: Debunking the Myths of Storytelling
Beg, Borrow, or Steal? Deciphering Fair Use for Filmmakers
Understanding Fair Use can save documentary filmmakers time and money.February 9th, 2009 | Jen Swanson
So, you're assembling your documentary and you desperately need to include a certain song, image, or archival scene to tell your story, do you need to get permission? How do you know if it's copyrighted? Independent writer Jen Swanson talks to Patricia Aufderheide of the American University Center for Social Media and one of the authors of The Documentary Filmmakers Statement of Best Practices, as well as filmmakers David Van Taylor and Gordon Quinn, to help break down Fair Use and how it applies to documentary filmmakers.
David Van Taylor first engaged questions of Fair Use when he was working on his film Dream Deceivers in 1990, a documentary that explored the lawsuit filed against the heavy-metal band Judas Priest by the family of James Vance, a teenager who tried to commit suicide after smoking marijuana and listening to the group's lyrics. The film incorporated copyrighted music and clips.
Grant Guidance: Government, State, and Private Funds for Filmmakers
A state-by-state resource list of film funders.December 15th, 2008 | Vanessa Willoughby
Although arts funding is not exactly at its peak, grants remain an essential source of financing for many independent filmmakers. Learning to navigate the fundraising field, of course, can be quite a challenge. So The Independent created this resource to list state government grants in addition to some key private sources for film funding.
Although arts funding is not exactly at its peak, grants remain an essential source of financing for many independent filmmakers. Learning to navigate the grant research and application process, of course, can be quite a challenge. Some filmmakers jest that they spend more time fundraising than making their films.
5 Contract Tips for Filmmakers
Filmmakers often think they have to sign away all their rights to get a deal signed, but before you do, check this short list of things to watch out for.December 9th, 2008 | Michele Meek
1. Get professional help. Always have a recommended entertainment lawyer review any contract (broadcasting, funding, licensing) before signing. If you can't bring a lawyer, bring an advocate to negotiation meetings. Having an experienced producer on your side during a negotiation is the next best thing to having a lawyer with you (and in some cases may even work better).
Making a Film Is Only Half the Battle
Filmmaker Paul Devlin looks back on the film festival strategy he used for his documentary "BLAST!".October 4th, 2008 | Paul Devlin
Filmmaker Paul Devlin gives advice to filmmakers trying to find their niche in the festival circuit with anecdotes from his own experience in sending out his latest film BLAST! (watch the trailer here), which screened at RIFF, Hot Docs and Mountainfilm in Telluride and has upcoming screenings at the Corona Cork Film Festival in Ireland and the Bergen International Film Festival in Norway this month.
For decades, film festivals have partnered up with great independent films to give them a healthy life. Filmmakers have relied on the hard work of festival programmers and organizers to get our films out to audiences and to reach wider markets through press and distributor attention.
The 10 Best Academic Programs for Documentary Filmmakers
An overview of the best programs from Duke to Stanford to MaineSeptember 23rd, 2008 | Caitlin Graham
Choosing the right school is hard, but it can be even harder when you have a specialized focus, like documentary filmmaking. Whether you're a novice or a veteran filmmaker looking to try something new, this top ten list of the best documentary film programs, both degree granting and non-degree granting, boils down the programs so you can find exactly the right fit.
These days, it's fairly easy to find an excellent place to learn how to make narrative films. Ten Best lists exist by the fistful, and a Google search of "learn filmmaking" returns more than 30,000 hits.
Case Study No. 3: "On Broadway"

On Broadway, a movie about a working-class Bostonian's attempt to stage a play in the back of an Irish pub, has received such a good response from film festival audiences around the country that the producers decided to self-release the film in Boston last month.

An unofficial withdrawal occurs when you stop attending or never attended classes without officially withdrawing from the university.
If you receive grades of UWF for a semester and you cannot provide documentation of class attendance, your Pell Grant will be adjusted for that semester.
If you receive all grades of UWF for a semester and you can provide documentation
of class attendance, you will go through the Return to Title IV process to determine
how much aid you have earned. According to federal regulations, whatever amount of
financial aid has not been earned must be returned to the originating financial aid
program. A billing statement will be generated for the amount you owe to the university
after aid has been removed from your account.

It's half past midnight, and I'm stil up, proving to myself that I lack anything even remotely resembling spacial visualization and reasoning skills. What's most disheartening is that online guides to solving a Rubic's cube tend to start with the phrase "We assume you've already assembled one of the faces and are now looking for completion."
I've been twisting and twirling this son of a bitch for nigh two hours now, and I've yet a single solid color facet to show for it. It doesn't help that the cube has markings on top of the solid colors, like numbers 1-9 or various keyboard key signs like "F6" or prompt words like "Menu" or "Help". So now I always know if I've assembled a color face with half the color pieces "upside down" and am forced to assemble them properly from the get go.
It's just not going to happen, is it?
What is this magical ability that some people have to visualize these sorts of geometric manipulations? I seem to lack that entire part of the brain. A classmate of mine in high school had a dance routine where she'd go up on stage in a tutu, have someone toss her a scrambled Rubik's cube and reassemble it between plies and pirouettes. I don't know if it was a political statement about math and femininity or whether she was just showing off, but the routine took about three minutes, and then the solved cube was brandished to the audience with a curtsy.
Are there areas where you are, for all your other talents and abilities, a complete and total bloody moron, like yours truly? Come join the self pity party. Fermented sour grapes all around.

The fact of the matter is that in reality, there's so many more things that go into how a car drives that the car magazines almost don't mean a whole lot to me, IMO, and much of the things these magazines say is very subjective.
For instance, just because a car is faster in the 1/4 mile doesn't mean you won't lose a race to a slower car (in the 1/4 mile) on the highway or something. These numbers also don't mean a whole lot by how fast the car feels.. Even if it's slower, it might "feel" faster, due to gearing and/or torque at certain RPM's. Also, two people could drive the exact same car and one person might say the steering is too heavy, and another person might say it feels just right.
you sorta lost me here... what do you mean the numbers dont mean much according to how fast the car feels? #'s are #'s... a car that can do 0-60 in under 5 seconds will feel like a car that can do 0-60 in under 5 seconds. I don't think that feeling is really subjective. Yes there is commentary to what is more preferable to a driver (steering, suspension, seating, etc...) & those things I agree will have to be taken with a grain of salt. I think most of us are just not fortunate enough to be able to drive some of these machines to have first had experience behind the wheel. Thus we trust these writers & car enthusiast.

October 09, 2009 07:29 PM
star Shakira said earlier in her teenage,
she was overweight and she was dreaming
to become a successful pop star and
focused a lot on music.
"As a teenager I was plump but
my appearance wasn't so important
at that time. I focused much more
on my music and song writing... I
know that image in this profession
is a matter of opinion. I think the
external appearance in show business
is important and over the years I've
discovered my assets. Honestly, I've
never seen myself as a goddess or
sex symbol," singer said.
'Hips Don't Lie' singer
certainly now has more body confidence
and is happy to wear skimpy outfits.
"We all have our insecurities
but I used to have more of those days
in my twenties. I found nothing satisfied
me and I just wanted to hide from
the world... You should always make
the most of what you've got and I
think I've tried my entire life to
figure it out. I wouldn't have made
a video like 'She Wolf' when I was
younger, that's for sure. Now you
never know what could happen with
them," she said.
Shakira says about her shyness and
she prefers to cover up when she is
out of the spotlight, "When I
perform I feel free. But when I'm
on the beach I don't run around topless...
Perhaps it's difficult to understand
but I'm kind of shy when it comes
to my body," she added.
Shakira has won two Grammy Awards,
seven Latin Grammy Awards, and has
been Golden Globe-nominee.

12:25 PM PT -- A rep for T.I. tells TMZ, the incident did NOT occur on T.I.'s bus ... in fact, the rapper was not even aware of the incident. Which leaves two other possibilities.
More drama for the Lil Wayne/2 Chainz/T.I. tour buses -- law enforcement sources tell TMZ, a female fan says she was invited on board one of the vehicles after the show in OKC this week ... and an entourage member punched her in the face, breaking her jaw.
The alleged attacker isn't named in the police report -- but the victim says her jaw was broken in two places ... and the damage is so bad she required surgery to repair it, and her jaw is now wired shut for six weeks while it heals. The victim says she'll be on a liquid diet for the entire time.
Here's the story ... the victim told police, the unidentified entourage member had been hitting on her during the concert ... and invited her on board one of the rappers' buses after the show.
The victim says she took the guy up on his offer -- but when she showed up with her girlfriend, he stuck his hand down her shirt and grabbed her breast.
The victim says she slapped his hand away and he turned around and punched her in the jaw, sending her flying out of the bus door. She says she landed on her back on the pavement with blood pouring out of her mouth.
According to the police report, the entourage member ran off, and the victim was taken to the hospital.
A rep for the Oklahoma City PD tells TMZ, the incident is under investigation. So far, no arrests have been made.
FYI, the incident allegedly occurred just hours before police searched 2 Chainz' tour bus for drugs ... and arrested the rapper.
What is up with all the black men perpetrating violence against other people? What is it about their culture that lends itself to drugs and violence? Is it the lack of fathers in their life? Why does that group have such a disproportionately large amount of violence in it?
How can we argue with racists when this is the type of stuff our culture propogates as a black man this is embarrassing!! and I'm tired of being embarrassed
These WORTHLESS ****suckers should be locked up for years. They all think they are far above the law and rules. He they are on the front line when the revolution starts.
This isn't the first time a girl got on a bus & was treated badly. Hopefully if anything good can come from this- girls learn not to get on the buses. I don't believe she was asking for it. But hopefully girls will be reminded to be more cautious and not fall victim to a man because he is famous or fame adjacent. & it's my belief that most girls & women don't realize their worth and deserve to be treated like a lady & that gives any dumb idiot the opportunity to treat them badly. But that just my opinion.
they pulled a chris brown on her.
with the way so called Musical Artists and many Athletes conduct themselves it is no wonder why our Children are turning in to Violent little psychopaths.if you let your kid listen to and idolize idiots like this don't be shocked when they kill the family next door over some shoes or some other non sense reason.Any parent that lets there child listen to modern so called music should have a daily beating until they learn to make their kids turn that crap off and act like a civilized human being.
All these racist comments about these black rap artist, but the only people that buy there music or go to there shows are white. That's clown **** bro.
Those people are nothing but a bunch of mindless thugs.
What girls or women in their right little minds would want to hang out with these three ugly a@@ no talent bastards?
Very unfortunate. But I gotta say, these groupies know what deal is when invited to a tour bus/hotel room etc. I can see kickin her out if she didnt wanna put out, but punching/injuring her is just too far.
girls stay off these tour buses !!!!! have them meet you in a public area like eat at a restaurant in a public setting or a nice bar with a good public setting to get to know him and don't have sex have a nice conversation exchange numbers and go home !!!!!! if they cant do that then your in for a rude awakening
I'm a woman who drives entertainer tour buses for a living. And I gotta tell ya- this chick did the equivalent of a kid entering a windowless van for a piece of candy. After a concert these guys are hormonal, drunk, high, rich and entitled. If the women think they are going back to a tour bus to play bridge they're effing stupid. She deserved to get punched for (1) not listening to her gut; (2) believing the bs that this guy fed her low self-esteem to get her on the tour bus; (3) thinking she was going to the bus to have some existential conversation that would lead to her becoming his soul mate; (4) having no clue that she was going to the bus to get f&cked. She should be grateful it was her jaw getting punched and not her vagina.
damn these rappers really need to control the ppl they hang out with they get it in their head that they are untouchable just cause they know a certain artist thats not right the rapper should be held responsible for this
These UGLY POS disgust me and should disgust all. This attitude of women being abused is beyond reason.
That is horrible they need to have serious consequences for their actions. This is a serious injury with a long rehabilitation and repair time.

This Oil Refiner Is the Best
Matthew is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Editor's Note: Valero is not America's largest oil refiner, that designation goes to ExxonMobil. This version has been modified.
Valero (NYSE: VLO) is one of the largest retailers of petroleum products; however, the company plans to spin off this end of its business in the near future, which the company announced in July 2012. Although revenues declined sharply after the oil price bubble of 2008, the company is doing better than ever, and in both of the past two years had higher revenue than it ever did before.
As a result, shares are up nicely, gaining 135% from the sub-$20 prices seen during 2011. Although I am completely in favor of taking some profits off of the table whenever you have a gain like this, I firmly believe that the best days for Valero are still ahead.
Valero owns and operates 16 oil refineries in the U.S., Canada, Aruba, and the United Kingdom. Among its petroleum products these refineries make are gasoline, jet fuel, lubricants, asphalt, and more. The company markets its products through over 6,800 stores, however, the company plans to spin off its retail business.
The vast majority of the company's revenues are derived from the refining operations (82%), with the rest coming from the ethanol division and retail. Valero owns 10 ethanol plants that are capable of producing 1.1 billion gallons per year, accounting for 9% of the company's income.
According to a report by Bloomberg, Valero's retail unit generates about $500 million annually, and may be worth as much as $5 billion as a separate entity, assuming a P/E ratio of 10. The retail segment consists of over 1000 stations across the U.S. and Canada. While in theory, this won't change the intrinsic value of Valero, spin-offs tend to produce more value for shareholders than if the business remains as one.
Valero is investing more in its growth than ever before, which is a huge positive for investors. The company plans to spend $1.915 billion on growth projects this year, as opposed to about $1.3 billion last year.
Valero is expected to earn $5.49 per share this year, and analysts expect this will increase to $5.68 and $6.09 in 2014 and 2015, respectively. While annual earnings growth of just over 5% is nothing to get too excited about, consider that Valero trades at less than 8 times earnings, which is very cheap, even with relatively slow growth.
Until the spin-off is complete, the closest company business-wise may be Marathon Petroleum (NYSE: MPC), which is the refining and marketing segment of Marathon Oil that was spun off in 2011. This company has done great for its shareholders, with higher-than-expected earnings results. However, the company is forecast to earn $10.01 this year, which is expected to fall to $9.40 and $9.10 over the next two years, according to the consensus.
Also for comparison's sake, let's take a quick look at another big refining company, Tesoro (NYSE: TSO). Let me start by saying that I love Tesoro as a company, and have for a while, even for when it was trading for under $7 in 2008. However, I don't like Tesoro as an investment right now.
Due to a great 2012, the stock has gained almost 140% since last May, and I think the rally may be a little overdone. Although the company looks very attractively valued at just 7.3 times 2012's expected earnings, the company is supposed to have negative earnings growth for the next few years, a huge red flag for me. If I were invested in Tesoro, I would take my profits and wait to get back in at a better entry point.
So, of the three companies listed here, Valero is the only one with positive earnings growth, and the proposed spin-off could greatly benefit shareholders. When you combine this with a low valuation, and ambitious investment in future growth, Valero looks like best-in-breed of the major refiners/retailers.

Program Equilibria and Discounted Computation Time
AbstractTennenholtz (GEB 2004) developed Program Equilibrium to model play in a finite two-player game where each player can base their strategy on the other player's strategies. Tennenholtz's model allowed each player to produce a "loop-free" computer program that had access to the code for both players. He showed a folk theorem where any mixed-strategy individually rational play could be an equilibrium payo in this model even in a one-shot game. Kalai et al. gave a general folk theorem for correlated play in a more generic commitment model. We develop a new model of program equilibrium using general computational models and discounting the payo s based on the computation time used. We give an even more general folk theorem giving correlated-strategy payoffs down to the pure minimax of each player. We also show equilibrium in other games not covered by the earlier work.

It's a lot easier if you don't try to look for explanations.
Win the next game, and you don't have to worry about why a 23-point lead shrinks to seven in Game 1 or a nine-point lead with four minutes left morphs into a loss in Game 5. Win the next game, and head-slapping moments like losing three straight to an opponent missing its best player, only to turn around and go on a 19-0 run and win for only the second time in 12 road playoff games, become trivial.
The Hawks thrill us, aggravate us, confuse us, usually all in the same game. Sometimes all in the same quarter. But win Game 7 against the Milwaukee Bucks, and they will move on to the second round against Orlando, which is what we expected all along.
Just look at this as an unexpected detour. Ever take a summer vacation when somebody got lost and the family station wagon ended up near a sewage treatment facility? Or maybe just down the road from a water park? That's the Hawks. One minute a sewage treatment facility, the next minute a water park.
"We can't let ourselves get distracted Sunday like we have at times," Josh Smith said. "We have to take over."
Ah, if only they could follow scripts.
They deserved criticism for having to play a sixth game in Milwaukee. But they deserve praise for bringing the series back to Atlanta. We knew they had talent. It's the intangibles that have come into question: resolve, desire, intelligence — particularly in those game-changing moments. They are what separate teams this time of year.
Coaching, too. Mike Woodson has been slapped around for perceptions that this team has been underachieving. But Friday in Milwaukee, he got his players to pull together and also changed things up defensively. A lot of attention was given to the Hawks switching to a zone defense after getting burned so often in previous games by Milwaukee's guards, John Salmons and Brandon Jennings. But Smith estimated the team played zone for only "four or five minutes."
The difference? Twofold. The first was mind-set. The Hawks fought to get around screens and avoid the switching that had been scorching them. The second was strategy. Bucks coach Scott Skiles said, "They confused us quite a bit."
"They were showing zone and switching back to a man," Jennings said. "I think it was more panic, being anxious, a little frustration because things weren't going our way."
It showed. Jennings and Salmons shot a combined 6-for-28 (21.4). In the previous three games, they were 43 for 84 (51.2).
The defense keyed the 19-0 run in the third quarter. A five-point deficit turned into a 14-point lead. By the time the Bucks' heads stopped spinning, the lead was up to 20. Almost inevitably, Milwaukee rallied, trimming the lead to seven with five minutes left.
But what's a Hawks' game without a tease?
Defensively, they never stopped working. Offensively, they limited those stand-and-stare moments that so often get them into trouble.
"Even when we were losing and missing shots, we were playing the right way, which is what's important," Al Horford said. "I wish we could play like that every night. You move the ball, you share the ball, you have confidence in your teammates. Sometimes we get away from that. You can't do it on your own."
This is the only first-round series in the Eastern Conference still going. Orlando won in four. Cleveland and Boston each won in five. Maybe the Hawks are just trying to give everybody their money's worth again. They did it two years ago, stretching the Boston Celtics to seven games, only to lose Game 7 by 34 points. They did it in last year's opening round against Miami, winning the deciding game by 11.
Horford said the Hawks' win Friday "really defines what our team is about."
Go with it. It's a lot easier that way.

i said the same- if we're going to criticize woody when he deserves it, give praise when its due. Not only for the adjustments on defense, but I thought he called some key timeouts early on that he normally doesn't take (which is when the other teams usually go up 10).

Can the Hawks take the confidence they must now have and win game 7? I say YES! Can they then continue to roll in round 2? I can only hope! Gotta agree with Dr Warren – tThe next round will tell us what the Hawks are made of.
Sorry, Woody, your time with the Hawks is coming to an end – unless the Hawks become NBA Champs.
May 1st, 2010

Big win for the guys last night. Now it's time take care of what they should have done already. Everyone expected them to get to Round 2, so they don't deserve any trophies if they win tomorrow. They will, however, deserve kudos for turning around what could be one of the most negative moments in Atlanta sports history. They must play with the same urgency that they did last night. Go Hawks!

Now this was vintage Hawks' basketball at both end of the floor….
Enough offense mix with stellar stand-up defense…
Win Sunday and the three consecutive bitter losses will be recorded as a test of team's mettle.
Bloggers are ranting over how many shots Joe Johnson took to get his points is a joke. Smoking Gun Joe Johnson took intelligent shots, making room for the big men to pick up solid offensive boards for easy put backs… And the Hawks won the game the right way..That's post season basketball.. have your best player and best shooter take the initiative. And Joe Johnson did just that!!!!

I look for the Hawks to win tomorrow, but the Magic series will be ugly. If the Hawks have this much trouble with the Bucks without Redd & Bogut, with home court advantage; they will be even worse against Orlando. Hate to say it and see it; thought before this series that the Hawks were really on the rise and maturing into a viable champ. contender. They will have to keep JJ and acquire a notable mFA such as Chris Bosh to get the fans as excited as they were. If this same team, with the same coach (and I think Woodson is a good coach) starts next season, what is there to excite the fan base? ….and what if they lose JJ?
May 1st, 2010
2:25 pm
I personally think they will let JJ walk and sign Bosh, giving them a new FA to build a PR campaign around. (Remember "The New Sharif in Town"?)

here's what I would do if I were Woodson – I'd tell everyone that wants a sound clip that I didn't care what happens to me or the team after the season – right now, let's fight like dogs and see how far we can take this train wreck – a championship series would cap it all off – then the Spirit group can fire, trade – sell – manipulate all they want – our town won't get what we need in a coach or a team when management can't even support a quality product that is on the floor right now! Ownership is just wiping out the team – that's all this is right now! All they care about is "We own the Hawks" not about the quality of the product!

And just where does Bosh fit in a front line loaded with men with the same height and skill set as he does.
May 1st, 2010
3:08 pm
I'm not saying he would! But Wade's not coming to Atl. and what other FA signing could the Hawks feed off? They'll probably trade Marvin for cap relief. I know you say who would take Marvin?; but who thought anyone would take Law & Claxton?…much less for someone as valuable as Crawford in return!

***Resubmitted from Thursday***
Jeff, we FINALLY agree on something (I called him a dope in a previous entry). So let me start out by saying you are right (so here it goes, big gulp)!!! I should not have called you a "dope". So for that I apologize. Now to your point, how can you NOT put any of this on Rick? The Bucks GM was exec of the year because he added pieces to the Buck team (Stackhouse and Salmons to name a couple), who are contributing, bigtime. Look, we did not have a draft pick in 2008 and in 2009, Jeff Teague has not worked out exactly. Except for Jamal (and he has been great in the regular season however he has never played in the playoffs and how about the layup he and Josh both had inside 4 minutes last night and missed them both), and please don't say Joe Smith. We have not tried to improve this team (why should Joe Johnson stay if the organization is not committed to winning?) If we had added a couple of pieces (just for example and I have not figured out salary cap ramifications or anything like that) Camby, Brendan Heyward, Caron Butler, Ben Wallace or a Tayshaun Prince, even a Heinrich to name a few and I am sure you could come up with one or two others. How much better would this team be? Mo Evans, ZaZa, Josh Smith, Teague, Marvin (although he had a great game last night)…these are not "smart" players. I mean Charlie Bell and Royal Ivey (he started for us not to long ago….laugh out really loud) don't even get off the bench and Bell would play quality minutes for us. We need more, better and "smarter" players…period (but just 2)!!!
It is the GM's JOB to get the coach a piece or two, c'mon!!!? For whatever reason you NEVER criticize him, why? I have listed below the fact that coach Woodson was picked 9th "BEST" coach of the year and Rick was not even mentioned in the GM balloting. He did NOT GET A VOTE…NOTE ONE!!!!
In closing the Hawks this season were 53-29, swept the Celtics 4-0, beat every team in the NBA including Lakers, Cavs, and Magic, were a 3 seed in the East, has improved their record (not team) every season for 5 consecutive seasons and had no contributions from any draft picks in two years and had one free agent that helped (Jamal). Oh, and if coach has had so many great "prospects" on the bench over the years, when they left Atlanta, have they ever been heard from again? (just name one, I could ONLY think of Boris Diaw and that's a reach). As Chad Ocho Cinco would say, "Child Please"…Hawks and coach Woodson deserve an "A+" if you handed out grades. Now would Rick deserve an A? I want you and the bloggers to hand out grades on both coach and the GM. I would like to see what folks think after really thinking about it.
So the Hawks had a bad night, haven't we all, so let's ignore coach Woodsons complete body of work…you folks kill me. If Woodson and Joe Johnson leave, welcome back to "LA Clippers South" and you will wonder, hhhmmmm coach Woodson was pretty frickin good huh? (smile).
The Hawks will win in Milwaukee Friday and close out the series on Sunday…GO Hawks!!!!

I'll take the win. Having said that, I'd like to consistently—not occasionally—see some championship-caliber stuff from the Hawks: smart, game-situation coaching; good floor leadership; team intelligence; sound, fundamental play, etc. The deeper you go into the playoff, the more the remaining teams exhibit these kinds of assets, not just athleticism.

This may serve as a tougher-minded team. Having to struggle may thicken our skin and pull us closer. A good (Hawks) writer once said "a series doesn't start until a team wins on the other teams court". Well, we have an opportunity to go to Orlando with momentum winning two in a row.

I agree Snowman, Schultz and Bradley needs to get a clue about what's happening around this franchise,I Don't know if it's personal or racial or what have you. While the recognition is being doled out ,Billy Knight {who Shultz and Bradley absolutely could not stand} should be given a ton for building this team and having the foresight to hire a real basketball guy like Woody. It would seem like people in the sports print media would be more knowledgeable and have a better feel for the time and knowledge of the NBA (something it seems like Billy Knight had a ton of} it takes to build a competitive team after decimating an entire roster and try to change the losing culture ,but just like everybody else in this microwave thinking city they wanted Woody to produce a Winner right away or be ran out of town,I guess it was because he was a first time coach,or was it something Else. No GM is going to get it right every time,(even the great Jerry West missed on a couple of prospects, see Luke Walton}I doubt if Mark Bradley will ever get over the hawks not taking Chris Paul( stay tuned he will mention it in an article sometimes this week}. but you never hear any praise for a guy who has improved a team record for six years in a row,anybody who knows jack about the NBA knows how hard that is to do.As a lifetime Atlanta resident and sports fan, I'm glad that Unlike Aurthur Blank(see Dan Reeves} the Gearons and the atlanta spirit management group does not let fans and AJC sports columnist make decisions for their franchise.

That's funny, somebody wants to mention Rick Sund (who I agree has some responsibility here), but fails to mention the ASG, who uh….only has a small part in all of this, of course. They only approve or reject every single financial move/transaction that Sund proposes. If you're going to take a stab at management, don't stop at the GM. Hit the source.
Jeff Teague "hasn't worked out?" Of course, if you're inhabiting Mike Woodson's nether regions, you'll conveniently forget all the media quotes where he said that he intended to bring Teague along slowly and not play him much. That might be an inconvenient FACT to swallow, now wouldn't it?
Here's another news flash: Woody wanted (and he was quoted on this as well) for Bibby, Marvin, and Zaza to come back. He got his wish. I guess Sund gets no credit for this? How about trading Speedy Claxton and Acie "Woody hates my guts" Law for Jamal Crawford, who turns into Sixth Man of the Year? What, Woody deserves credit for that, and Sund doesn't? I'll bet that's how you see it, eh? I'll agree that we got Joe Smith too late. We also got Mike Bibby too late, for all of you Billy Knight lovers. What did Billy bring us that's so great? Al Horford, Josh Smith, Joe Johnson, and to a lesser extent, Mike Bibby.
He also brought us Marvin Williams (are you thrilled yet), Claxton, Lue, AJ, Ivey, Donta Smith, Sheldon Williams, Lorenzen Wright, Bautista (I miss that guy), Acie Law, Salim Stoudamire, and a bunch of popcorn. Oh, and Mike Woodson.
If Joe Johnson leaves, will we avoid looking like Clippers East if we manage to keep Mike Woodson? Why assume that one leaving means the other leaves? On second thought, of course Woody should leave if Joe does. Joe leaving would expose him (as if that playoffs haven't done that).
Show me a game 7 win, followed by a truly competitive series against Orlando. Then I'll believe that Woody is the man, and that this team has improved. Otherwise, you cannot escape this:
Last year, we got pushed to 7 games by a team that featured a top tier NBA superstar. THIS YEAR, we got pushed to 7 games by a team that is missing it's starting center/best player, with nary an all-star level player on the roster. Are we supposed to see this as improvement?
Blame Sund and praise Woody if you want. Or be reasonable and give credit and criticism to both.

Thanks Russ for your comment and support for coach!!! "Give me a break" you just got your game 7 blowout and now onto Orlando…by the way, GREAT WIN COACH WOODSON AND THE HAWKS!!! If you think these Hawks have tuned coach out you are all crazy…they listen and they listen well. Two great wins!!! By the way, the Pistons were down 3-2 against the New Jersey Nets the year they won it all. They won game 6 in NJ and game 7 in Detroit. They then went on and won the title that year. Coach Woodson was the #1 assistant on that team.
Coach has done a fantastic job and deserves a new contract, period!!! Your success and steady improvement should be rewarded and a "model" for other bad teams in the league. I for one hope coach and Joe are back next season!!! Scott Skiles was runner up for coach of the year and who Woody out coached in the last two games of this series?
C'mon Atlanta show coach some love and critics at least for the day…take tat in the face!!!!…Great win, great win, great win!!!!

Melvin Ingram is seeing less and less of the field. Through the first 4 weeks of the season, it looked like the team was prepping him to take over a majority of the snaps at outside linebacker.
Over the last couple of losses, Melvin has been getting less playing time. He has seen less than 23 percent of snaps in both those games. In both those games, we had a nice lead at the half and knew that the opposition would try to pass the ball to get back into it, but Melvin was still on the bench.
In the last game against the Denver Broncos, Melvin only saw 14 snaps! Against the Saints, he only took 21 snaps which was 29% of the defensive snaps.
When we know a team is going to try and pass the football to make a comeback, wouldn't it be in our best interest to keep our best pass rushers in the game? When the Saints and Broncos are trying to mount a comeback, wouldn't it be best to put Melvin in the game?
Maybe the Chargers don't want to use Melvin in a prevent defense? Maybe we shouldn't ever use that stupid prevent defense!
Even though Melvin is still looking for his first sack of his career, he is a far superior pass rusher to Jarret Johnson. He constantly is getting pressure on quarterbacks and he uses his short arms and athleticism to bat down passes at the line. Johnson has never had more than 6 sacks in a season and has never been considered a good pass rusher.
The Chargers need to find a way to get Melvin on the field. He has big play potential, but can't contribute anything on the sideline. Let Supa Melvin PLAY!

During the Shogun-era in Japan samourai owned swords and they where
allowed to carry them wherever they go and they where officially allowed
to use them.
If a samourai had the feeling, that somebody from a "lower" caste of the
society did not show the due respect, he was allowed to kill this person
with his sword.
Today everybody in Japan is allowed to own a sword and nobody is allowed
to decapitate someone else with it - I guess, the japanese people like
that change of application of ownership rights regarding swords.
I find it perfectly OK, that people are allowed to own a sword or a
rapier. It may even go unpunished to use such a weapon in seldom cases
of self-defense.
But of course duelling is not tolerated anymore.
Authors should own copyrights and shall be allowed to use them for their
benefit. In a balanced, sensible way. Attribution forever, a right to
control commercial distribution for 10 years, a right to control every
distribution for 5 years. A right to forbid usage for advertisement. And
such rights should belong to the natural person, who is the author. And
no commercial organisations should be allowed to take over these rights
and use them 80% for their own benefit.
Trade secrets are OK but it would be absolutely NOT OK, if law allows
the holders of trade secrets to forbid research, that could lead to an
unveiling of such secrets. If someone finds out the recipe for Fanta by
legal means, this person must be allowed to tell everybody that Fanat
contains fish-jelly. Patents for 5-6 years would be OK, if prior-arts
regulations are faithfully met, if they are not trivial, not for
lifeforms, not for genes etc.
I have seen the outcome of experiments in destroying a system completely
and trying to build up a new one from scratch by theoretical philosophic
assumptions made by ideologic visionaries. East-germany was a
ridiculously obvious proof, that philosophers should not rule something
as complex as a human society. And the Milton-Friedman-school of
philosophical economics is still around and the Chicago-boys are still
allowed to try to implement their visions, that work the same as good as
communism worked in the east.
Gradual changes can be very revolutionary and they tend not to kill the
patient with the cure.

To refer a child and parent(s) to the Kindred Souls visitation program, the social worker:
The social worker is contacted by the Kindred Souls clinical director or DFCS social work coordinator to confirm and complete the visitation arrangements. The coordinator may schedule a joint conference meeting to assess and approve the visitation.
Visitation observation reports are faxed on a weekly basis directly to the primary social worker. Kindred Souls staff do not have access to CWS/CMS, so it is the social worker's responsibility to enter the information in a CWS/CMS Contact.
