When I first watched it I assumed the soldiers in the valley were an army sent to take down Arthas. He then summoned the undead dragon and as it flew over the army, infected them with the scourge. Quite a disappointment on a second play through. It does kind of leave you hanging, there should have be some allusion to a great battle over in the distance that the scourge was marching off to (hence the War of Warcraft), that could be used to pull the players into the expansion.

Doing business with friends can sometimes have negative results despite our best intentions. Even with our best hopes, what starts out as a seemingly safe and mutually-beneficial project or interaction can turn into anything from a minor embarrassment to a major nightmare.
I've always been thankful for having good working relations with others. I'm very receptive of working with others, as it's an opportunity to get two thoughts, opinions and another set of eyes on an idea. This works best with people who have the same desire to succeed as yourself. But what happens when the other party doesn't hold up their end of the bargain? Well, let's just say that I become extremely difficult to work with at that point.
While doing business with friends may seem like a superb idea at first because you already know the person, you have someone to split duties with, split expenses with – the whole superb idea can turn into a disaster very quickly. Sadly in most instances partnerships between friends don't work out in the end – not everybody has the luck of Disney and Google. In order for a friendship-based business to thrive and survive, there has to be an understanding what each party brings to the table, their strengths and weaknesses, and how each partner can help enable one another in a positive manner.
My Story
Three months ago I joined forces with a friend to start a business together. At first the business idea was flawless – start an online community targeted at a specific ethnic background through news outlet and turn the online community into a local newsprint that can be distributed locally at select shops and businesses.
The hopes, ideas and thoughts were all there, and getting into business with a friend who've I've known for over fifteen years seemed too logical. It would cut down my learning curve of working with someone new, trust was already established, there was someone to split the workload with, someone to push me when I needed a push and someone to add some necessary speed to the project.
Unfortunately despite the best intentions from both sides, this partnership has had it's growing pains due to one's inability to hold up their end of the workload.
We've all got strengths and weaknesses, but if you want to contribute to a project you gotta show face. Standing on the sidelines while waiting for someone else to delegate a task certainly won't do it. If you're unsure what to do, just ask!! How can I contribute? What would you like me to do next? Would you like me to do this………….? So, needless to say that it becomes exhausting to do your own work, while your partner sides on the sidelines waiting for direction, and when direction comes, deadlines are missed and you're greeted with half-ass excuses.
So what does one do? I could walk away and save a somewhat damaged friendship. I could sit tight, and hope that one will pull up their pants and step up or maybe I should turn a blind eye. What would you do?
Common Pitfalls of Doing Business with Friends
Difficult to Reverse – Once you remove the "arms-length" and start doing business with people who are close to you, you often start down a course that's hard to change or reverse. Whether it's setting expectations or creating problematic assumptions, changing or getting out of friends/family dealings is much harder than business-as-usual.
Inability to Find the Shutoff Valve – There are people who can completely shut off work and draw a solid line across their lives when they close the office door behind them. Unfortunately I'm not one of those people. I'm always thinking, writing things down and sometimes carry multiple notebooks with me to write ideas down during dinners and other outings. Even though I admire those who have the ability to find the shutoff valve, I know very few of them. The rest of us inevitably bring our working lives home with us in one way or another. When you do business with family and friends, at some point you'll be with them at a barbecue, birthday, cocktail party, or wedding. If there's tension brewing between you, aside from your own discomfort, it will affect – and potentially infect those around you.
Finances – Anytime you start a business, one needs to be prepared to invest money they're prepared to lose. You may know this basic business 101 rule, but does your partner? I'm sure most people do feel that way when they put their money in the hands of a friend. But what happens if the money goes down the drain? You or your partner may say "Hey, don't worry about it, I took the risk," but in all likelihood your relationship will forever be tainted.
Firing Friends is Hard – How do you fire someone who you started the business with? It's hard and at times impossible. Despite your best intentions, often parties associated forget that business has a way of coming between the best of friendships, and can often be difficult to shake negative feelings due to bad business decisions. Your schedule won't always match the schedule of your partner. He or she may take more time off than yourself. Their contribution may not be inline with yours. Basically many reasons could come up to fire your friend, but doing it is the hard part.
The Relationship is Always Tested – Just like in any business matter, no matter how foolproof you think a plan may be, it's wise to assume things can and will go wrong. And "friendship wrong" can be much worse than "business wrong."
Final Thoughts
Doing business with friends is a personal choice that can only be made by you. It's important to remember that you should find businesses partners based on merit and not the personal relationship with you – I'm learning this now. The biggest issue with doing business with friends is that you're risking the friendship it self. If you're partner is not pulling their weight, you begin to feel that you're somehow being taken advantage of and eventually feelings of resentment surface. Eventually this leads to you to believe that the person you knew, isn't really who you thought they were.
As much as I enjoy working with others, collaborating and sharing ideas, I'm also very straight to the point and don't have an issue voicing my opinion. Unfortunately this makes most people get on the defensive. Having an understanding that the friendship comes first is important, so the relationship doesn't get thrown away.
Doing business with friends can be a slippery slope and that isn't for everyone. Even though I'm learning my lesson, I'm beginning to realize that business-is-business at the end of the day, gotta respect yourself and the contributions.
Thanks for reading!

Quick and Dirty Vacation Planning
Published on - December 7th, 2010 (by April Dykman)
This post is from staff writer April Dykman.
As I write this, I'm in New York City on a trip I spent about two hours planning. Normally, I like to do my research. I firmly believe research work upfront saves a lot of time, money, and hassle while traveling, but this vacation snuck up on me, and I ran out of time.
So far we've managed to make our way around just fine without spending ridiculous amounts of money or getting lost (especially nice since it's a bit colder than the 78-degree weather we left behind). One of the reasons things have gone so smoothly is that I did have time to download the free NYC Way app before we left home, and it's been such a help that I wanted to share it with GRS readers.
Trip-planning with MyCityWay
Launched in 2009, MyCityWay is described as "a one-stop discovery platform for over 50 categories in the city — including restaurants, nightlife, public restrooms, transit, traffic, tourist attractions…" and more. Available for iPhone, iPad, Android, and Blackberry, the MyCityWay currently has an app for about 20 cities, mostly in the U.S. London looks like the first venture into international cities.
So what does this app do that's so helpful? First, you can create a trip, which stores all of the places you want to visit for easy access. After saving places to a trip, you can view information about the places, such as museum admission prices, hours, phone numbers, and more. You also can go to a map view that flags each of your places.
I looked up a few articles about New York City on the Frommer's and Budget Travel website, picked out the places and restaurants that sounded good, and searched for them on the app (it found all of them). I added them to a new trip. I also checked out the list of free things to do and added a couple of places that seemed interesting. We're spending six full days traveling, so after marking about 20 places, restaurants, and activities, I can use the map view to see what is close together and make a general plan each day.
Another great feature is that MyCityWay works with GPS, allowing the user to select a place from the trip and get directions for walking, bicycling, or driving from their current location. Last night I got off the subway, opened my trip, selected The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and instantly had directions and a map for the quickest way to walk there from the terminal.
The app also has been useful in getting around the city, something for which you can't always plan. It includes a restroom locator, street eats, coffee shops, wifi locations, transit information like subway routes and locating the nearest terminal, grocery stores, and more. There's even stuff locals might find useful, such as parking, apartment listings, classifieds, job listings, car services, and live traffic cameras. After going to a museum, if you're craving a pizza from somewhere within walking distance, you can search by cuisine and immediately get a list of the closest pizzerias, plus reviews.
According to their website, MyCityWay plans to roll out additions like personalized local recommendations based on user profile, choice history, and current situation. "Premium productivity features" — I'm guessing that means a paid version — will include features to plan a day in the city, write notes and to-do lists, and collaborate with friends.
I admit I was wary of becoming a smartphone user. But I made the switch a few months ago, and between MyCityWay and a few museum apps that have helped me to easily navigate from one place to the next on one small device (no maps, travel books, and brochures to lug around), I've been sold.
What are some of the ways you use technology to save time and money while traveling?
This article is about Travel
I like the idea of MyCityWay even though it is a bit limited in international cities. I would love to see it have other cities in the world then it would truly be a versatile tool.
Thanks for sharing this, April. Have a nice trip back.
MyCityWay huh?
I really want a smart phone, but I promised myself that I wouldn't buy one until my wife and I ridded ourselves of our debts.
Based on our budget, we should be out of debt by April 2011! Then, it's time for the Smart Phone.
I can't wait!
The app looks great– I'll definitely check it out. Let me know if you need any NYC suggestions from a local, though, too.
The Mycityway way assumes that you have are already in poccession of an iphone or an ipad.
I consider both of them to be a waste of money.
If I get lost in NYC, I will do it the old fashioned way that is free.
At first I thought mycityway was a website, and I was all happy as I am dying to go to NYC and I could use some travel suggestions. I don't have a smartphone either, so it looks like I will have to stick with Tripadvisor!
I will keep this in mind if I ever invest in a Smartphone though.
I like trip advsior!
You could also just pick up a copy of the New Yorker.
Also, even our small town has a thriving Yelp community.
Like many of you, I do not have a smart phone so I cannot use this app. When I have traveled to Hawaii or Walt Disney World, I used guide books and my GPS to get around. However, even if they are the newest version of the books, they may not be fully updated. We looked online, in a book and using the GPS and one place we were looking for was out-of-business. No big deal though, as Hawaii had plenty of great options for restaurants.
Earlier this year, my husband and I did a driving trip from Indiana to the Florida Keys (where nothing is inexpensive) and back. We used my husband's iPhone and our GPS to pick a route, make trip changes, find a campground, find local restaurants (using Yelp or Urban Spoon), motels for the night, and spots of interest. I know the iPhone has a GPS app but it wasn't as good as our car GPS. It turned out to be a great trip – spontaneous, but not as expensive as spontaneous can turn out to be.
NYC at Christmas!!! I did this last year and it was wonderful. It's a little hokey but visit Macy's Santaland on the 9th floor (I think). If you've read David Sedaris' short stories your visit will be even funnier. I also recommend going up and down 5th avenue and looking at all the shops – their decorations are amazing.
If you want a good "financial experience" eat at Bobby Vann's Grill across from the stock exchange. You can request to eat in the vault. This is the original JP Morgan's bank vault and it is nothing short of one of the coolest places to eat. The menu isn't too expensive – at least not by NYC standards. The burger was great. The vault is in the lower level restaurant (The Grill), not the upper level steakhouse. While you are in the financial district the Museum of American Finance is pretty good, too. They have weird hours though.
Welcome to the city, April! It's a great time of year to be here. Do go see the windows at Macy's and along 5th Ave – I'm a resident, and I go check them out every year.
FWIW, I too get by without a smartphone, although I plan to acquire one next year.
Is this an article about personal finance, or a product review/advertisement?
This article definitely is not about Personal finance or frugality.
Looks like this is a paid advertisement for Iphone, Ipad, Mycityway app, android, droid or whatever.
It sounds like a combination of yelp and google maps will do pretty much everything this does, work on any device with an Internet connection (including your home computer), and even support international cities and small town.
This article basically says: "I can use the Internet on my Internet-enabled phone to look up things that I'm interested in." but it does it in a very product-specific, dare I say shill-like, way.
I don't have a smart phone, nor do I have a GPS…I have this amazing thing called a map. They're available for every city, and most even have interesting places to go marked on them. I also tend to fly by the seat of my pants on my spur-of-the-moment trips, usually finding my way around simply by exploring and asking folks for directions or interesting places to see and restaurants to eat.
I don't mean to sound mean; I appreciate what you've discovered, April! But some of us are not in the position to afford smart phones and their monthly data plans. How does the cost of the phone/plan/app compare to the money you saved using it?
Thanks for sharing this info. I am a planner, too, but found myself with only a few days to plan a trip to NYC a few weeks ago. This would have been helpful, and I will definitely use it for a return trip.
IMO, planning DOES help you save money. And having this info on my ipod would have been much easier than having a tour book and a subway map to lug around & haul out to reference all the time.
Most useful piece of technology I've encountered in awhile: mint.com. I can't tell you how useful it's been in keeping up with my finances. I always wanted to get more organized, but the idea of doing data entry into Quicken or other programs was enough to make me avoid it altogether. But mint has taken away that excuse – and now I know where all my money goes, down to the penny, at any given point.
With a smartphone and the mint app there is no reason to ever go over budget – whenever I get the urge to buy something, I just whip out my phone, check my current spending, and that's it. Ridiculously useful.
This is, as I understand it, a site that focuses on being smart about money rather than just being frugal. It's an important distinction and it comes in to play with this post.
I appreciate that many people do not have a smart phone. As a result, this post isn't much use to you. For my part, I don't have children, so posts about family things are of little use to me. Not ever post is going to be relevant to every reader, and that's OK.
As a smartphone owner, I am always looking for free or low cost apps to help me. I am self-employed and travel quite a bit for my work, and travel apps have been a huge boon in the last few years. Tripit.com and its associated app, for instance, builds my itinerary based on the online reservations I make. It's been a huge help and have saved me time and money, since I no longer have to print off all my various travel documents. (United Airlines will even send a paperless boarding pass to your phone.) Yelp, Tripadvisor, Urbanspoon, Kayak, etc. have largely replaced guidebooks, which I always used to buy, just as my phone's GPS means I don't buy maps.
My point is that an article about smartphone apps is, to my mind, completely in tune with what this website is about, and for some of us, a big help.
This article seems like a lightweight inclusion in this blog. You won't Get Rich Slowly if you need to have every whizbang electronic gadget that comes out. For cripe's sake, get a map and keep it in your pocket. Maybe the post belongs in a blog about *covenience*?
Someday I'll have a smart phone and do all these cool things!
had to chuckle when i read this article. i was just in NYC saturday and sunday and used my Android phone to get around. i didn't use this app, but i used the google maps, starred places beforehand for easy access. i selected directions, (from where i was standing) to a location, and then click public transit, and it would tell me the exact station, train # & time to get me there and walking directions. i would just leave the written direction screen open when i went underground so i could check which train to get on. smart phones are FABULOUS!
The best way to save time and money during travel is to plan ahead, as much as you can. Tripadvisor.com and google reviews (easy to find through google maps) are very helpful and offer many good tips. Google map streetview is very useful, specially to have a good idea where your hotel is located and which landmarks there are nearby. Paper, old-fashioned guides are particularly useful and handy, and I usually buy them an year old (amazon.com used books) for nearly half-price, because IMO updates don't matter that much. Most touristic destination, specially big cities, have good websites, and metro trains or subway sites are useful when travelling to Europe. For instance, I went to Paris and all my transportation needs were fulfilled with a €50 Paris-Visite card: a tip from an old Frommer's guide, coupled with internet information.
I agree with MD Account. What I appreciate about this website is that there's a lot for everyone to appreciate and learn from in one article or another. I'm 56, single, grown children, no debt. I'm a professional photographer and having an iPhone changed my life professionally and personally. I've made as much money selling my iPhone photos (because of the absolutely amazing phone apps) as I have with extremely expensive cameras and lenses. I travel a lot, and the travel apps have saved me enormous amounts of time, because for me time=money. On a personal level, I am so grateful that I had an iPhone and took lots of videos of my mom before she died. Whenever I miss her terribly, all I have to do is watch videos on my iPhone. I would not have been able to take videos of her with a video camera the same way I could with my iPhone–it's small, it doesn't intrude on the moment. Also, I don't like carrying around a lot of equipment, and the iPhone has been invaluable in this respect. I was anti-iPhone for years, until I saw what I considered a perfect photo taken with one, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I now conduct oral histories with the iPhone video app and voice memo feature for my photography/oral history projects.
The apps I use all the time when traveling, and which I feel have saved me money and endless travel frustration, are:
AAA Triptik
AAA Roadside
Flight Track
Gate Guru
Packing Pro
American Airlines
Paris Metro
Accounts (financial)
Yelp, Urbanspoon and AroundMe
Weather Channel
Lonely Planet guidebook apps
How does a smart phone save me money? I use it so much, I'm thinking about getting rid of my home internet subscription. I can do almost anything on the phone and what I cant, I can do with my laptop at a wifi hotspot. Or is a laptop an over-the-top non-frugal gadget also?
@JD, I've never had a smart phone and see no reason to get one. (I have internet connection at home for $15/month and at work which covers all but 1 hour of commute time per day.) I'm sure they come in handy once in awhile but I bet I could handle any problem that people THINK you need a smart phone to solve.
Personally, I find it sad that wherever you go, people are huddled over their tiny little screen instead of interacting and talking. My wife and I went to dinner the other night and the 2 ladies behind us barely said 2 sentences to each other the whole time, preferring to play with their phones.
The itinerary portion of this app reminds me of TripIt but I like the addition of hours/recommendations/etc of the events you have planned. However, I find TripIt's auto-importing services very useful so I doubt I will make the switch.
I've been using Expedia for the booking and Thrillist (in cities they have) for finding cool places to visit. I'm definitely going to check this website out though
To J.D. @ #17 – If you're considering ditching your iPhone solely to lower your bill, but the iPhone suits your needs otherwise, there's a better way: keep your iPhone and ditch AT&T and their mandatory data plan.
T-Mobile is happy to have iPhone users switch to their service and they will not require you to buy a smartphone data plan. In my experience, T-Mobile's coverage and customer service is better than AT&T's, and I've gone from paying $45/mo for my old AT&T dumb-phone talk/text plan (and that was w/ a corporate discount) to *less than $20/mo* for a T-Mobile prepaid monthly plan (limiting iPhone data use to WiFi.)
(BillShrink.com was very helpful to me in determining what wireless carrier & calling plan best fit my needs and budget. I would not have considered a prepaid plan, but BillShrink.com analyzed my bills and showed me I could save at least $225/yr that way.)
Your 3yr old phone is out-of-warranty anyway. You can jailbreak and unlock your iPhone and leave AT&T. The process sounds more daunting than it actually is. IIRC, you use mac computers, so you could download the Pwanage Tool software from iphonedownloadblog.com (they have guides and tutorials there as well). Pwanage Tool is free and pretty easy to deal with.
Unlocking will free you from AT&T and the extra cost of a data plan that you don't feel you need; and jailbreaking will add other functionality to your iPhone (if you want). You'll be able to lower your monthly wireless bill and keep the phone that's paid for and familiar to you.
The only downside is you must remember to never ever update your iPhone's software from iTunes in the future or you'll lose your unlock. (When you want to update the iOS, wait for Pwanage Tool to be updated and do it through there. If you ever need to restore, you tell iTunes to do a manual restore, and point to your Pwanage-created backup).
I was given a handmedown iPhone 3g and love it – I can sync calendars and contacts, and use some great apps for photos, tuning my guitar, keeping my grocery lists, etc. I've never had a smartphone w/ data plan and didn't want to start, knowing I'd get used to having it and then feel it was a "need." WiFi is good enough for my day-to-day needs, and because I can take/make most calls using my home phone (using google Voice, so no long distance costs and a metered service plan for about $17/mo total), the T-Mobile prepaid monthly plan suits me just fine these days (it's $15/mo for unlimited texting + $.10/min for calls). If my needs change, I can switch to a regular plan and add data, and still not have to go back to AT&T and their headaches.
So before you ditch your iPhone, you might consider the option to unlock and ditch your carrier and data plan.

Screw Table
01 descripción del producto
descripción de productos
Aarnio: "I have always studied my surroundings, the nature, buildings, objects, out of scale, in which case big can be small and visa versa. With this in mind a small metal screw serves the function of a table: a spiral part is a thin table leg and the head is the broadening table top. It is only a question of scaling. Naturally the same function and shape can be realized simplified but the outcome is very ordinary. The shape of the screw gives the product added value and it gets your imagination and creativity going. You are an inch tall in the land of giants, where even the screws are almost your size." The idea of having an oversized screw as a table seems natural for a versatile man like Eero Aarnio working on industrial design, furniture and architecture. Screws are used in every house but mostly hidden - why not honor them as visible objects? Place them as a side table in the living room and on the veranda or the higher version in cafeterias, coffee shops and bars. The fibreglass and the metallic colors make them a shining eye-catcher in every space.

After reading an article about the title winner of the second USA national asana championship, it has left me contemplating the paradox of seeing the words yoga and competition in the same sentence.
By definition, yoga means to yoke or create union. Yoking and union are about collaboration and connection. On a individual level, yoga can be understood as unifying mind and body or breath and movement. On a global level, yoga asana, which means the physical practice was designed to allow the practitioners to sit for long periods of time in a meditative state sending and receiving great love at a quantum level to unify the world.
Competition is about separation and ego; even when you compete with yourself.
It is not that I am for or against a yoga competition, just that it is important to understand that the physical practice of yoga comprises only 12.5% percent of true yoga. If you have been practicing yoga for a short or long period of time and not experiencing all the amazing benefits yet, do not be discouraged.
According to the Yoga Sutras of Patajanli, there are 8 components or 8 limbs of yoga. The physical practice is only one limb. Know that practicing yoga is the path to dwindling impurities of mind and body. Trust that the light of understanding will shine forth with disciplined practice and illuminate the way to self-awareness and truth. Even if your physical practice is not where you want to be, know that 87.5% percent of the practice exists in the other 7 limbs.
You may find inspiration in some of the physical poses that are demonstrated during a competition, but if you find them to be intimidating, then to me the event is a failure. Yoga is for everyone. Yoga is the path to a non-violent relationship with yourself, with others and with the world. Yoga is about sharing.
True yoga is about ascending ego and seeing yourself as pure consciousness. To turn this into a competition seems to poison the roots. Perhaps there is good intention in spreading the word about yoga, but the technique seems off. The fact that it has survived on its own for over 5000 years is evidence enough that it is the Truth.
Notice if you turn your own practice into a competition with yourself or others. Notice if you do not practice because you think you will never be able to 'move' like that. Yoga asana or movement is only one of eight limbs. May your yoga practice be a nice balance of all eight limbs and a means to collaboration, with yourself, others and the world.
Being Happy Healthy and Fit means understanding yoga is not a competition or separation, but a yoking or union. May beings everywhere be Happy, Healthy Fit, Free and United!

Lindsay Bruce '10 made appearances on this season's NBC reality show The Voice.
Her early accomplishments helped set her on a path that led to an appearance on "The Voice," but it was a long, sometimes difficult journey. At 13, the Santa Rosa native wrote a book and a song about having lost her uncle on 9/11. In high school, she became an international model and local celebrity. All along, though, she wanted to write and sing her own songs, so after graduating from Santa Clara University, Bruce headed to Nashville to pursue the one dream that still eluded her.
Thomas Akins Jr. '10 came up with the idea for the mobile app called podStatus, a music player that takes a stab at music discovery for frequent Instagram users (and other social networks) who have songs on their iPhone to share music for friends to listen and discover. He writes that no other app brings this level of music discovery to Instagram where users can actually listen to the music. It also has an algorithm that only makes music suggestions based on what users already have in their music library and are listening to right in that moment.
Jeffrey Adams '10 is back in the Bay Area after receiving his masters of fine arts from the New School for Drama in New York City. He's starring as the Prince in San Francisco Playhouse's production of Into the Woods, the Stephen Sondheim musical which has a big-screen, Disney version in the works. It runs through Sept. 6.
Cassandra (Thomassin) Staff MBA '11 and her husband Adrian Staff welcomed their first child, Lucille Khoo Staff on March 9. They are happily raising Lucille in San Jose.
Lauren Silk '11 has chosen to attend the University of Colorado--Boulder for her degree in Speech-Language Pathology.
Sarah Allbritten '11 writes, "Recently relocated back to SF Bay Area from Los Angeles and I am currently looking for a job."
Maria Valle '12 facilitated San Jose's second annual leadership conference for young women in the spring. The theme was "Strong Girls, Strong Women."
Ana Maria Valdes '12 and Mark Spain '13 were married on June 7, 2014, at the Mission Santa Clara de Asís. The couple met at SCU freshmen orientation and began dating their senior year. Other Broncos in attendance included bridesmaids Jessica Campbell '11 and Marlynn Spain '10, and groomsmen Anthony Sagariballa '12, Dong Seon Min '14, and David Sippel '13. The couple resides in Seattle, Wash.
In May, Daniel Peng '12 received a Fulbright U.S. Student Program grant. He's one of about 1,800 recipients nationwide who will have the chance to travel abroad for a unique hands-on learning opportunity in their chosen field.
Starting in September, he will be stationed at a clinic in Hangzhou a city of about 6 million in the eastern portion of China.
His research grant proposal targets Type 2 diabetes, which is far more prevalent, but less understood than Type 1 diabetes. Together, the two forms of the disease affect about 29 million Americans. During his time in Hangzhou, he'll be interacting with patients and clinicians to affect change.
"In terms of the research I'm conducting, this is not hard science," he said. "It's more of a public health project."
Simple changes, Peng noted, can reduce the rates of diabetes. People can often create and maintain better health by eating more fruits and vegetables, and fewer high-fat foods and simple carbohydrates like white rice and potatoes. Another important factor, Peng said, is getting patients to understand and care about dietary restrictions.
Educating others comprises about half of his duties in China. He's also going to be working to create a patient database that will help doctors understand the long-term affects of treatment.
Prior to his current job, Peng spent time working with diabetics of all ages at the Stanford University School of Medicine and at the Pacific Free Clinic in San Jose.
Brienne Ghafourifar '12, the youngest college graduate at age 17 to raise $1 million in venture funding for her business, Entefy, is among four women chronicled in the upcoming documentary film She Started It, about women entrepreneurs.
Bianca Frediani '12 is co-owner of Bed Bandits, a company that makes and sells fire-retardant, hypoallergenic mattress toppers. For every three sold, a fourth is donated to a local shelter. It's a business model driven by compassion. "My dad was an Oakland firefighter for over 30 years," she told the Contra Costa Times, "running into fires to literally save people." She wants to make a difference. "I hope someday -- if this (company) becomes a big thing, that we can go to Third World countries and donate these mattress toppers to people who don't have beds."
W. Martin Behn J.D. '12 has joined Sinsheimer Juhnke McIvor & Stroh, LLP. Behn worked as an associate at a small boutique law firm in Palo Alto specializing in estate planning, estate and trust administration and probate, and charitable planning, according to a news release. He will work in the trusts and estates practice of the San Luis Obispo firm.
Behn grew up in San Luis Obispo. Between undergrad and law school, Behn was a law clerk at Société Générale Finance Equipment in Wuppertal, Germany, as well as a summer law clerk at Boehmert & Boehmert in Munich, Germany.
Jaime Saavedra J.D. '13 joined the San Francisco office of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton. Saavedra joins the firm as an associate with the Patent Team in the internationally recognized Intellectual Property Department.
Dr. Saavedra focuses his practice on patent prosecution and counseling, due diligence, licensing, and other intellectual property issues related to matters in the health and life sciences.
Josh Ronen '13 is currently completing his second year of medical school at the Ross University School of Medicine (RUSM) on the island of Dominica in the eastern Caribbean. By next summer he is on pace to start his third year as a physician-in-training, composed of clinical rotations at a RUSM-affiliate hospital location in California.
Former LEAD scholar at SCU Roberto Ramos '13 has received a full-ride, merit-based scholarship to attend the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA—a very rare honor. Called the Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship, it pays full tuition for four years for at least 16 students. Recipients also receive special access to faculty and a research stipend of $5,000, among other benefits. LOT scholars are selected for one of two tracks—Research or Service to Underserved Communities.

Dear girl who practically saved my life,
At the Senses Fail concert today a most pit broke out just feet to the left of us. I was using an electric scooter thing that old people use to get around because i am disabled. You were knocked into me, my glasses flew off and i fell into my sister. You helped pull me back up and then you created a barrier between me and the people who were moshing. I never got the chance to tell you thank you or how much that means to me. I just want you to know that my family and I are very greatful for your act of kindness. If i would have fallen i probably would have broken my hip because of my Avascular Necrosis.
If you're reading this… please send me a message.

Full version submitted to Discrete & Computational Geometry
A topological quadrilateral mesh Q of a connected surface in R³ can be extended to a topological hexahedral mesh of the interior domain Ω if and only if Q has an even number of quadrilaterals and no odd cycle in Q bounds a surface inside Ω. Moreover, if such a mesh exists, the required number of hexahedra is within a constant factor of the minimum number of tetrahedra in a triangulation of Ω that respects Q. Finally, if Q is given as a polyhedron in R³ with quadrilateral facets, a topological hexahedral mesh of the polyhedron can be constructed in polynomial time if such a mesh exists. All our results extend to domains with disconnected boundaries. Our results naturally generalize results of Thurston, Mitchell, and Eppstein for genus-zero and bipartite meshes, for which the odd-cycle criterion is trivial.

Sweden: School Forced to Close - Was Run Without Permit
13 pupils with special needs have no school to return to after the Christmas break, after their school has been forced to close. It turned out the free school Bohus Helhetsskola in Ljungskile on the west coast, has been running for two years without a permit.
According to Swedish Radio West, a mistake had been made, that neither the school nor the Schools Inspectorate was aware of until now.
Bohus Helhetsskola is one of a small number of schools in Sweden that are not financed by the normal system of public funding. Instead it is funded by fees. But when the school declined the offer of state funding in 2011, it was supposed to apply for a new permit to run a school. That was never done.
"This is a unique situation, I have never seen anythign like it," says Maria Axelsson, head of legal affairs at the Schools Inspectorate, to Swedish Radio News.
But she places the responsibility solely with the school itself. "The principal of the school must know all the laws and rules that apply," she tells TT.
The school will now have to apply for a new permit. If such a permit is granted, it will still take a year before it can open again, Swedish Radio News reports. (via Radio Sweden)

Rental car insurance can now be quoted for motorists without crash history submissions at the Quotes Pros website. A new exploration tool is usable at http://quotespros.com/auto-insurance.html.
Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) August 23, 2014
Consumers who rent vehicles from dealerships or other sources due to travel or other circumstances can now review rates for rental car insurance online. The Quotes Pros company has revised its price system to help motorists review insurer plans without providing details about previous crash histories at http://quotespros.com/auto-insurance.html.
The portal that was built in 2013 at the Quotes Pros website has recently been expanded to include the automobile rental plan rates. The only submissions that a user of the system is required to make to review price information is a zip code. These codes link drivers to neighborhood crime data and other essential data for insurers preparing the rates.
"Some companies now use local data to help prepare the best rates for a vehicle rental insurance policy in the United States," said a Quotes Pros source.
The Internet portal that is offered for use takes into account the local area and state where a driver will use a rental vehicle. A new benefit to accessing the system for research this year is a much larger list of national agencies that are now competing for affordable prices.
"The drivers who plan to access our system to conduct price research will be rewarded with a low price from a better assortment of agencies," the source said.
The Quotes Pros website is now one interactive resource that is assisting the American public with forms of insurance research. The rental policy information that is now viewable is offered alongside of the standard automobile insurance coverage plans that are being priced at http://quotespros.com/auto-insurance.html.
About QuotesPros.com
The QuotesPros.com company supplies different data to U.S. consumers concerning different coverage plans that are available in the insurance industry. The daily use of the company tools that are positioned on the homepage could help someone reduce coverage costs. The QuotesPros.com company uses all of its resources to help build a better search tool for the public to utilize during an insurer review procedure on the Internet.

Hi Jjcbigfoot!If I have any ideas?Yes, I will give you a hint.Terrestrial aircrafts navigation lights placement, obeys to International Conventions not to Intergalactic Conventions.So, you can deduce for yourself:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navigation_lightThe light he said pink, is red but appears pink due the camera setup.In the second part of the movie, note the helices still rotating, slowly, near the top of the screen. Helicopter, probaly.
Foxknow March 18, 2011 12:04:40 AM CET
Oke.. this is something i like. Those kind of things i also see over here in Holland. somethimes it's like if they are playing they are an airplane... Just to let 'us' think nothing is going on. But if you follow those things for a few minutes.. they will show you strange behavour. Like no airplane would do.
Jjcbigfoot March 13, 2011 2:00:01 PM CET
Why the strobing lights? Not that I don't believe something is going on, I just keep wondering why so many UFOs have the strobing lights. I understand a glowing objects due to some propulsion or other effect, the need for strobe lights is my question. Any ideas???
Ufobillatgmail March 13, 2011 8:36:53 AM CET
I absolutely believe you my friend, I've experienced and witnessed these exact same "Shape-Shifting-Morphing" crafts before and are being recorded by other researchers from around the world, and are soo good at mimicking aircraft, they do fool most viewers, unless they've actually witnessed them personally!!!Where are you recording these crafts?Regards & Peace to you,William.....**... email@example.com

Believe what you will but I promise you there is nothing but actual footage that I personally filmed.

Found April 19, 2013 on NBA Injury News:
TEAMS: Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers
Andrew Bynum was the source of much frustration in the City of Brotherly Love this season, as the big man didn't play a single game for the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite his injury issues and extended absence from the lineup, Sixers owner Josh Harris told reporters -- including John Gonzalez of CSN Philly -- that the team is "open to the prospect of bring" Bynum back."A healthy Bynum that's playing is a needle-mover, a top-15 player," Harris continued. "But the reality is, he didn't play a game this season. There's risk. We're going to weigh the positives and the negatives and try to make a reasoned assessment of what's appropriate for Andrew. Certainly we're open to the prospect of bringing him back."Bynum is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He made $16.5 million this year, and it will be interesting to see how the market for the 25-year-old develops following his lingering knee ailments. He recently underwent bilateral arthroscopic surgery on both knees.The Sixers aquired Bynum from the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Andre Iguodala and others prior to the 2012-13 season. While he was expected to provide Philly with the missing piece they've been lacking, he suffered multiple setbacks. There were several return target dates set for Bynum, but he ultimately missed the entire season.Follow @hoopsinjurynews
