Family Foundations
The Council on Foundations defines a family foundation as one whose funds are derived from members of a single family, though this is not a legal term and has no precise definition. The Council on Foundations suggests that family foundations have at least one family member serving as an officer or board member of the foundation and, as the donor, that individual (or a relative) must play a significant role in governing and/or managing the foundation. Most family foundations are run by family members who serve as trustees or directors on a voluntary basis. In many cases, second- and third-generation descendants of the original donors manage the foundation.
Family foundations make up over half of all private (family, corporate, independent, and operating) foundations, or 40,456 out of approximately 73,764 foundations (Foundation Center, 2011). Family foundations make up approximately one-third of the Council's membership.
Family foundations range in asset size from a few hundred thousand dollars to more than $1 billion. The holdings of family foundations total approximately $294 billion, or about 44 percent of all foundation holdings of $662 billion. Despite this, three out of five family foundations hold assets of less than $1 million. Family foundations gave away approximately $21.3 billion in grants in 2011 (The Foundation Center, 2011).
Below is everything on our site for family foundations. You can use the filtering options on the right to narrow these results.
The Council on Foundations wrote to the Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to urge them to prioritize several regulations and guidance documents that impact our members. Each year, the Priority Guidance Plan identifies and prioritizes those tax issues that the agencies should address through regulations or revenue rulings, procedures, notices, and guidance throughout the upcoming year.
Corporate tax integration ("corporate integration") is a tax reform topic that Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT) has been discussing for some time now. Chairman Hatch has indicated his intent to present a corporate integration proposal by the end of June 2016.
What is corporate integration?
Corporate integration is a way of addressing the issue of "double taxation" on corporate income. Under our current system, corporate income is taxed at two levels: the level of corporate profits and the level of shareholder dividends.

So Far, So Good
I have to hit two, three and even four times to get out of a scene. I'm not sure it's the game or my ipad. I'm not sure whether it's the game or my broken screen. Am having screen fixed and will find out when I get it back. But so far the game is interesting. Just got started.
Do not download this if you already downloaded the free version!
I already paid for the full version through the free version. I was searching for more Big Fish Games and found this one because it had a recent release date. It didn't show that I already had the full version as Installed because for some reason this is another version. Now I have paid for the full game version twice.
Great Ambiance
This hidden picture game has a great amnbiance and graphics. If you get stuck search google for big fish notre dame walkthrough. But, the game has a nice flow.

Wandering Soles Message Board › Wandering Soles Discussion Forum › C&O Canal Hike & Picnic at Carderock
Group Organizer
Rockville, MD
We had about 45 turn out for the hike and about 55 for the more challenging picnic. (Have you ever tried to stay away from good food?) Although the weather was hot enough (mid 90's) to fry an egg on the parking lot, we thought better of it. However, in the shade, and doing nothing more strenuous than bringing food to your mouth, the heat wasn't so bad. Nevertheless, the band, Fynesound, and its two dancers had to cancel because of the heat since instruments apparently have to work and can't eat. (I didn't know that.) Maybe next year...

A PC is not a tablet. Why "upgrade"? Windows 7 is fine, and you don't have the extra step of manually switching to desktop mode that is necessary in W8.
MSFT can't win... first windows wasn't safe enough so now they make it safer and it suddenly isn't better... Windows was a memory hog so they make it hog less and it's still not better... Windows boots terribly slow they make it boot faster and it still isn't better... see the trend.
Initially you touted two benefits - lower memory usage and more secure. Lower memory usage in relation to what? My W7 desktop idles with 97% or higher free, and that's with lots of stuff open in the background. "Safer"? Okay, grandma might not get a virus from her bingo site, right? Ok, so W8 is marketed to idiots with 2gb machines? On your added benefit (boots faster) - from boot to desktop I'm probably waiting 20 seconds on W7. It's a desktop - I never turn it off, so in the rare cases it reboots, 20 seconds seems tolerable to me.
After ur upgrade, U can access thousands of apps from store and work great at metro environment to desktop environment.
BTW, Switching between metro n desktop screen is just one windows key press. nothing can be easier.
I'm running win8 on my dell 2005 dimension 5150. It works much faster and like it very much. It's truly a revolutionary os.
My experience tells the upgrade is worthy.
Fair enough - it works for you, so great. For myself, I have no need for "apps" in the tablet/phone sense - I have the software I need (I'm boring). And I certainly have no need to work in Metro (a touch-screen environment) on a desktop PC. Windows 7 boots right to desktop, and I don't even have to press any keys! It's 100% more efficient right there (or would that be infinitely more efficient?). ;)
John... a dozen or so tech review sites/companies have come out and in various forms 'touted' the lower memory usage, the better native security, and faster boot times... so you can doubt those arguments all you want but it's obvious you are no expert so hopefully readers here will take your argument with a grain of salt and google or bing any one of the hundreds available reviews.
I did qualify my "doubt" in the next sentence. Personal experience trumps benchmarks every time, in my book.
MSFT can win like any other company can win.
Make a product that consumers want.
For everything they fix they break something else.
If the next iteration of Win costs $40 and has comparable improvements then yes... I will buy and promote it. I realize not everyone needs to or wants to upgrade every year and it's not necessary by any means, but neither is getting a new phone every year or even every two years.
For $40, Win8 is a steal.
Glad W8 is treating you so well, cereal. Just the same, I'll save my $40, thanks. Not having to press or click anything is even less of an inconvenience. Reboots occur when there's a power outtage, and if I'm sitting in front of the computer when one happens, it's 30 seconds, tops, until it's back at desktop after re-boot. No speed or stability issues, either.
With Windows 8, Microsoft has another Vista dud on their hands so expect a roll out of a 'new' operating system in the near future that makes W8 more compatible with laptop and desktop needs.

10. CASE STUDY: MENOPAUSE; LOCATION: NEW YORK; The Estrogen Alternative
Published: May 6, 2001
(Page 3 of 3)
Michele Klingensmith, the Glaxo official managing RemiFemin's American introduction, explains her company's interest this way: Glaxo wanted to get into the herbal business and was looking for products that would fill unmet medical needs. ''When we saw the data, we said, 'This is perfect.'''
But RemiFemin is hardly the only black cohosh preparation on the market, as a visit with Fredi Kronenberg confirms. On her desk she has an array of two dozen products containing black cohosh: teas and tinctures, creams and pills, with soothing pictures of flowers on their boxes and names like Flash-Ease and MenoPoise. Even Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, patented in 1876 ''for the female discomforts,'' is advertising itself as Lydia Pinkham Herbal Compound, ''now with black cohosh.''
The collection irritates Kronenberg; each May, she leads a course in botanical medicine for doctors who, she says, are often as confused as patients by the many herbs on the market. ''They are all different dosages,'' she complains of the black cohosh collection. ''Some are ground root. Some are extract, some have subtherapeutic doses, and the public just doesn't know what to make of it.''
Yet neither her study nor Farnsworth's will help sort the mess out. That is because women in their clinical trials will receive black cohosh extract prepared according to each study's specifications. The studies will answer only the narrow question of whether those two particular preparations have benefits. This is a problem common to all studies of herbs, and Farnsworth and Kronenberg approach it differently.
If his study shows a positive effect, Farnsworth says, the University of Illinois could patent his group's ''unique method'' for standardizing black cohosh extract and then license that method to a company that would market a competitor to RemiFemin and the rest. Kronenberg, for her part, is not interested in commercializing black cohosh.
''I'm just interested in understanding how it works,'' she says.
Knowing how black cohosh works, of course, will be essential to persuading American doctors to recommend it. Farnsworth explains: ''If you know the mechanism of action, you can predict ahead of time what this extract might interact with. Then you can advise people whether or not to take it, or how to take it without getting side effects.''
But as for mechanism, unanswered questions abound. A 1985 pharmacological study conducted in Germany reported that black cohosh contained an isoflavone, a type of phytoestrogen, or plant estrogen. (Isoflavones are also found in soy, which has been studied as a treatment for hot flashes, on the theory that a soy-rich diet is the reason Japanese women have fewer of them.)
The isoflavone discovery offered a plausible explanation for how black cohosh works. But scientists have found contradictory results; in a recent analysis of 13 black cohosh samples, Kronenberg and her colleagues failed to find the compound. ''We don't think it's in there,'' she says. And Farnsworth says his research suggests that black cohosh acts not on estrogen receptors (as it would if it contained isoflavones) but rather on the hypothalamus, the gland involved in regulating hormones and body temperature.
Or perhaps black cohosh contains an estrogenlike compound that hasn't been identified. If so, black cohosh, like estrogen, might indeed turn out to be good for the bones and the heart. But obvious questions remain. Is it safe for women who are at risk of breast cancer? And if it is safe, what is the proper dose? RemiFemin's recommended dose is 40 milligrams a day. Kronenberg's and Farnsworth's studies will test different amounts.
But then again, black cohosh may be nothing more than a dressed-up dummy pill. Menopause experts have long known that there is a powerful placebo effect in treating hot flashes; Dr. Wulf Utian, executive director of the North American Menopause Society, a scientific group that Kronenberg helped found, says that as many as 40 percent of women get relief from hot flashes with dummy pills. Despite the media hype over soy, Utian says, rigorous studies are showing little difference between it and placebos. ''And that's what I would expect with black cohosh,'' he adds.
The scientist in Kronenberg thinks it is likely to be proved effective. But the naturalist in her can't help worrying that there might be a downside to the sudden explosion of botanical research. While some companies have recently begun cultivating black cohosh, a 1998 paper from the American Botanical Council warned that a growing commercial demand for the herb could threaten its long-term viability in its native environment. What will happen to the world's plant life if studies like Kronenberg's foster a big appetite among Americans for certain herbs? How will cultures that depend on botanicals as their only source of medicine be affected?
And will the appeal of alternative medicine -- the idea that plants can heal, that they offer people the power to take their care into their own hands, far from the realm of the doctor's office -- be lost if botanicals like black cohosh are treated as just another drug? Part of the allure of herbal therapies is that they tap into a yearning for a simpler time, when menopause was nothing more than the change of life and Grandma's old-fashioned remedy might suffice. What will happen, then, if science takes the alternative out of alternative medicine?

We were in the area house hunting and this hotel proved to be in a good location as it's right off the main road through the area. It's a short drive to North Port, Punta Gorda, or Venice and is convenient to several nice gulf beaches. The breakfast was adequate (more than continental) and the staff were friendly and helpful. The wifi was hit or miss at times probably because we were at the end of the hall. Overall, this hotel offers a convenient location for a fair price.

Top Customer Reviews
This doll comes with three accessories, i.e. Rapunzel's pet chameleon Pascal, a paint brush, and a hair brush. Rapunzel's hair is lustrous and beautiful, with shimmery highlights. The doll figure itself is poseable. The hair does take some effort to maintain, so younger children may not handle this very well (may need the assistance of an adult). Because the hair is so long, it can easily get 'tangled'. My daughter uses a spray bottle with water in it, to straighten out the hair each time this happens, and that seems to solve it. Pulling on the hair with a brush will only cause the hair to come off, so please be aware of this when giving the doll to a young child. My daughter loves to create stories of fantasy and magic (one recent play involved Rapunzel having a picnic with the Zoobles!). This is a beautiful Rapunzel doll which will engage any young child (ages three and up).
Plastic brushes tend to snag hair; that's why I only use a wire brush for dolls. They are sold more for dolls with wigs, but they are also great for rooted hair. You can get a nice one for about seven dollars right here on Amazon too.
It's also a good idea to start brushing sections of Rapunzel's hair from the bottom first and then work your way up. That way your doll's hair won't end up with frizzy ends. This also keeps the hair stronger since you won't be stretching it out by having to forcefully brush out so many knots towards the ends of the hair.
I have been handling my Rapunzel's hair like this ever since I got her and she has no tangles and only a few strands have fallen out. However, it's completely normal for some loose strands of hair to shed from a new doll so don't worry too much. In addition since I have long hair myself, I know from experience that it only seems like more is shedding because the length of the one hair that fell out is the length of three or four "normal" length hairs, if that makes sense.
Lastly, the reasoning behind my ratings: I love to play with hair so it's definitely a fun, fun doll, if nothing else girls can learn how to care for hair with Rapunzel, and, with the right handling, she is quite durable in my opinion. So, all in all, Rapunzel has earned five stars in every category as far as I'm concerned. :)
Thanks for reading my ramblings for this long! :D

It was 39 years ago, give or take a couple of weeks, that the Beatles began recording Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, a landmark album that virtually invented modern pop culture. In a sign of the recording's pervasive influence, Sgt. Pepper inspires the latest round of short cinematic exercises from the Dailies Film Project. Screening Fri.-Sun., Nov. 18-20, at PushPush Theater, Return to Pepperland presents 10 short films, each inspired by a different song from arguably rock music's first concept record.
Of the five films made available before the event, the best is Evil Edison Productions' "Lovely Rita," a quirky love story about a geeky young guy (Jeff Pack) with a crush on an anal-retentive meter maid (Angie Fox). "Rita" offers some amusing psychological insights about how childhood plants the seeds of grown-up obsessions, but soars with droll running jokes. I bet John Lennon would've laughed when the guy quacks to ducks and they talk back to him in subtitles.
"A Day in the Life" by Psycopia Films and Itaki Design Studio proves more enigmatic, but equally accomplished. Almost free of dialogue, the film flashes back and forth between a World War II soldier and a young office drudge (possibly the soldier's son) during the 1960s. The later sequences, you gradually realize, quietly track the "Woke up, fell out of bed ..." verse of the song. The film's meaning proves elusive, but "A Day in the Life" impressively evokes wartime locations with simple, economical images.
The other entries are more mixed. Howdy! Digital Pictures' "Within You, Without You" mostly puns on the song's title in its heavy-handed, off-color gag about the symbiotic relationship between a farmer and his cow. "She's Leaving Home," directed by Matt Ruggles, comes closest to being a conventional music video (only without the actual song) as it depicts the troubled home life of a restless young woman. Plexus Pictures' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" seems to focus on the tune's history as an ode to LSD as five young people tediously hallucinate during a camping trip.
The five samples of Return to Pepperland, however intriguing, fall short of capturing the multifaceted, pop-art energy of Sgt. Pepper, from the psychedelic lyrics to the splashy album art to the orchestrations from modern rock, India and England's music halls.
Dailies: Return to Pepperland screens Fri.-Sun., Nov. 18-20, 8 p.m., at PushPush Theater, 121 New St., Decatur. $12 ($8 if dressed in Bealtes-esque costume). 404-377-6332. www.pushpushtheater.com.

CIT's Challenge: Find Cheap Funding Source
Lack of cheap funding continues to hamstring CIT Group Inc. (CIT), six months after leaving bankruptcy.
The longer it takes for CIT to right its funding model, the lower its chances of making it as a stand-alone company and the more likely it is that it will be bought by a bank looking to expand its lending business to midsize firms.
While CIT raised funds earlier this year in the credit market, its ability to increase deposits is hamstrung by restrictions imposed by banking regulators. This inability to increase its deposit base, a stable and inexpensive funding source, is forcing it to whittle down its balance sheet. Total assets at the company fell in the first quarter by $2 billion from the end of the year to $58.1 billion as CIT made fewer loans.
"If CIT is able to fix its funding model, we believe the company will be well positioned for growth," said Adam Steer, an analyst at CreditSights Inc., a credit research firm.
CIT's new chief executive, former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain, took the helm in February and has reiterated the lender's commitment to lowering its costly debt load and winning the confidence of regulators who have limited CIT's ability to raise deposits.
To this end, CIT has paid down $2.25 billion of an expensive $7.5 billion credit facility. It reported a surprise first-quarter profit, proving wrong analysts who had predicted a loss. The lender also has put together a management team and is hunting for a finance chief. In addition, CIT is selling off assets it doesn't consider critical to its core business as it seeks to shore up its balance sheet. CIT also is employing existing deposits to make corporate loans.
But its costly debt load is cutting into profits. For instance, as of the first quarter, for every $100 CIT lent, it earned 65 cents, as its interest payments ate into margins, compared with about $3.50 it earned before the financial crisis, estimates Keefe, Bruyette & Woods.
The company not only has to get the go-ahead from regulators to increase its brokered deposits, it also has to get the green light allowing it to use its deposits to make more types of loans. In addition, it needs to build on its deposit base to include retail deposits, which are considered more stable than the brokered deposits CIT has now.
"There is no clarity around the time frame for when things can be cleaned up by the regulators," said Mr. Steer at CreditSights. CIT's Mr. Thain said in March that it would take at least a year to regain the confidence of regulators.

"There's room for more upside for CIT shares but for a really significant upside to occur, investors may have to be patient," said Sameer Gokhale, an analyst at KBW. "From what I can see, it may take until 2012 for CIT to report positive cash earnings." Mr. Gokhale has the equivalent of a hold rating on CIT shares.
CIT shares closed Tuesday at $35.25, up about 28% so far this year.
"CIT continues to make progress reducing its cost of funds, improving operating efficiencies and charting the optimal path for its commercial businesses," said Curt Ritter, a CIT spokesman. "Our return to profitability this past quarter further strengthens our financial position, which includes strong liquidity and a solid capital base."
Founded in 1908, CIT relied on bonds and commercial paper to raise funds, which it then lent out at a higher interest rate. The credit crisis made it difficult for CIT to raise capital cheaply and, unable to restructure its debt, the lender filed for bankruptcy protection in November.
The bankruptcy court wiped out about $10 billion of CIT's outstanding debt, as well as a $2.3 billion investment from the U.S. Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program. CIT emerged from bankruptcy in December.
KBW's Mr. Gokhale doesn't rule out a potential acquisition of CIT by a bank seeking to expand its lending business. Indeed, a marriage between CIT's knowledge and relationships in the small-business-lending space and a bank's access to low-cost deposit funding could be an outcome welcomed by shareholders.
"CIT may be better suited to being part of a larger bank," says Mr. Gokhale.
CIT's Mr. Ritter declined to comment on that possibility.

Beautiful doctor Peyton Shields, head resident at Boston's Children's Hospital, and handsome lawyer husband Kevin Stokes would appear to have bright futures at the start of Grippando's stand-alone, which falls short of the standard of the author's Jack Swyteck series (When Darkness Falls, etc.). Mutual suspicions of infidelity and the fundamental failure of either partner to trust the other pave the way for the misunderstandings that make Peyton and Kevin ripe pickings for a psycho obsessed with Peyton. First Peyton nearly dies during a snowy accident that only she believes was deliberate. Then she and Kevin are ensnared in a web of escalating circumstances that drive them further apart. The soap opera plot will disappoint those expecting something meatier, and even the two lead characters play stock roles (the strong, independent woman; the dissatisfied, jealous husband). The result is a thriller that doesn't offer many thrills, even when Grippando takes the wraps off some late surprises. This title was first released in 2006 by Bookspan as a Madison Park Press book club exclusive. (May)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information

Peyton Shields had always wanted to be a doctor, and now, thanks to her relentless drive, stellar academic credentials, and a mountain of debt to Harvard Medical School, she's a first-year resident at a major Boston children's hospital. The hours are impossibly long, but it's the life she wants, complete with a husband who's an up-and-coming young lawyer.
But a late-night drive home in a heavy snowstorm changes everything. A car coming straight at her forces her off the road and into a frozen pond. Peyton knows she'd be dead if a stranger hadn't pulled her from the wreckage before vanishing into the darkness.
In an instant her wonderful life has turned dark. No one believes her claims that the "accident" was deliberate—not even her husband. Without explanation, he has become distant and bitter, calling her paranoid and accusing her of having an affair with a former lover.
Yet the terror has only begun, for a series of strange, increasingly dangerous events begin to plague Peyton, moving her closer to a faceless and very deadly enemy who seems to know her every move.
Editorial Reviews
Originally published in a slightly different form in 2006 by Madison Park Press (for Doubleday Entertainment's book clubs), Grippando's 12th thriller (after When Darkness Falls) is an absorbing tale of a woman in jeopardy, a husband with secrets, and a barely glimpsed but thoroughly chilling stalker. Peyton Shields, a doctor in her first year of residency at Children's Hospital in Boston, is driving home late one night when another car forces her off the road and into a pond. Rescued by a stranger who quickly disappears, Peyton is dismayed that neither the cops nor her husband, Kevin, believe her when she says the "accident" was deliberate. Kevin, a struggling lawyer, has his own problems; he was in bed with another woman the night of the incident. Complicating matters is that his wife, suspicious of his actions, seeks solace from Gary, an old boyfriend and nurse in the hospital where she works. When Gary is killed, Peyton and Kevin find themselves on trial for murder, with a prosecutor intent on pitting one against the other. Will Peyton and her marriage survive? Grippando masterfully creates characters with rich emotional lives and then ratchets up the tension until it's almost unbearable. Highly recommended. [See Prepub Alert, LJ2/15/07.]

Read an Excerpt
Lying with Strangers
Chapter One
Peyton Shields could feel it coming. No one had tipped her off. No neon lights were blinking. But her sixth sense was in high gear.
Peyton was in her first year of residency in pediatric medicine at Children's Hospital, Boston, one of an elite thirty-seven interns chosen from premier medical schools around the world. She'd vaulted to the top through relentless drive, stellar academic credentials, and a mountain of debt to Harvard Medical School. Good instincts, too, were part of the successful package, and at the moment they were telling her that something strange lay ahead.
She parked her car in the space marked Physician outside the North Shore clinic, about thirty miles north of Boston in the city of Haverhill. Peyton was at that stage of her professional training where pediatric residents spent three or four days each month at an outlying clinic to broaden their experience. Haverhill was somewhat of a plum as far as clinical assignments went, situated in the affluent Merrimack Valley. Driving out in any direction, you were virtually guaranteed to run smack into a quaint, three-hundred-year-old town whose 98 percent white population earned more than double the state's median annual income. Though not the most charming in the valley, the city was an interesting mix of one of the finest Queen Annestyle streetscapes in America and blue-collar housing that had grown from the once-prominent shoe industry. With roughly 10 percent of its population living below the poverty level, the routine medical needs of its Medicaid children were served primarily by the clinic. Today, that meant primarily by Peyton.
"What are you two doing outside?" asked Peyton as she stepped out of the car.
It was a fair question. Even though it was a sunny fifty-six degrees—a heat wave for late February—it was highly irregular for Felicia and Leticia Browning to be caught chitchatting outside the front door at nine-thirty in the morning. The clinic's two full-time nurses were identical twins with polar-opposite personalities. Felicia was the more serious sister and a frequent pain in the neck.
"Power's out," said Leticia, giggling as usual.
"That's weird. All the traffic lights were working on my way over here."
"Cuz you was coming from the south," said Felicia. "Power's out from here north."
"What happened?"
"Earthquake," said Leticia. More giggles.
"Very funny."
"No joke," said Felicia. "We're on the southern edge of what they call the active zone, thirty miles north of Boston and on up to Clinton. Two dozen quakes in the last twenty-one years. Usually little bitty ones, like this."
"How do you know all that?"
"We'll always know more than you," said Felicia, only half-kidding. "We're nurses."
Leticia pulled a battery-powered radio from her sister's coat pocket. "They just interviewed a Boston College seismologist on the air."
"Shut up, fool," said Felicia.
"Ah," said Peyton, seeing they really weren't yanking her chain. "I take it there's no backup generator for this place."
Leticia just laughed. Her sister said, "Dr. Simons canceled his morning appointments and went home over an hour ago."
Good ol' Doc Simons. He ran the clinic, but hands-on he was not. To him, carpe diem meant "seize the day off."
The three women looked at each other in silence, as if soliciting ideas on how to keep busy. Peyton was about to walk inside when a car sped into the parking lot and screeched to a halt. The driver's-side door flew open and a teenage girl jumped out with a baby in her arms.
"Somebody—help my son!" She looked barely old enough to drive and sounded even younger. Peyton ran to her and gathered the baby in her arms.
"How old is he?"
"Twenty-one months," she said in a panicky voice. "His name's TJ. He got stuck with a needle."
"Are you his mother?"
"Yeah. My name's Grace."
"Take him to Room A," said Felicia. "It's got plenty of sunlight."
Peyton hurried inside, stepping carefully through the dimly lit hall. The baby's cry was weak, as if he'd wailed to the point of exhaustion. They slid the examination table closer to the window to take advantage of the streaming sunlight, then laid the boy on it.
"Needle went in right there," said Grace, pointing at his leg.
Felicia aimed a flashlight. Peyton noticed a minor puncture wound inside the thigh. "What kind of needle was it?"
"Sewing needle. About an inch long."
"Did you bring it with you?"
"It's still in his leg."
Peyton looked closely but still didn't see it. "You sure?"
"The very tip was sticking out at first. I tried to work it out, you know, like a sliver. But it disappeared inside him."
Leticia slipped a small blood-pressure cuff onto the boy's right arm and pumped it. "You're sure it was a sewing needle, child?"
"What else would it be?"
Felicia grabbed the girl's wrists and rolled up her sleeves. "Show me your arms."
Grace resisted, but Felicia was much stronger. "I'm no druggy. Leave me alone."
The arms were trackless, but Felicia wasn't finished. "You shoot between your toes, girl? Or is it your boyfriend who does the drugs and leaves his needles laying around?"
"Nobody is on drugs, so just go to hell!"
Peyton was about to side with the girl, but then she noticed the marks on the backs of her legs just below the hemline of her skirt. "Is that blood behind your knees?"
Grace backed away. The nurse grabbed her and hiked up her skirt. The backs of her thighs were pockmarked with bloody needle holes.
"What is going on here, child?" said Felicia.
"My boyfriend did it."
"Did what?" asked Peyton.
"We got in a fight. He started jabbing me with this stick of his, so I grabbed TJ and ran out the door. He got TJ in the leg, and the needle broke off when I jerked away."

I thoroughly enjoyed "Lying With Strangers." I hope to see more books like this from Mr. Grippando. The book provided enough plot twists to make me wonder if somehow the husband & wife characters were involved in trying to do harm to one another without an ending that didn't match up with the rest of the book. I would highly reccommend it for anyone into psychological suspense and/or legal thrillers.
Another good Grippando story. Lots of hints to lead you in the wrong direction. A surprise climax and ending. Book "title" near the end so look for it! Be sure to read Acknowledgments at the end of the publication.
The story itself was very good...creative topic (haven't read a fiction story about this before). The one thing I couldn't get past was the editing. Sometimes the font was one size and sometimes it was another (and it wasn't intentional). Also the line spacing was off in some places and there were glaring typos in a few spots. That is what made this book hard to read, literally!
I enjoyed this book the whole time I was reading it. It was gripping and kept you wanting to turn the page. I loved the characters and how Grippando portrayed them. By the end of the book it felt as if you knew the characters personally.
The head pediatric physician at Boston's Children's Hospital Dr. Peyton Shields and her lawyer husband Kevin Stokes appear to live the American dream to the fullest as they love their respective work and each other. However underneath their seemingly perfect life together, neither trusts the other to remain faithful as he believes she has quite a choice of medical personal and she thinks likewise re the legal profession. Both assume the other cheats. On top of that Kevin resents the move to New England to foster her career and the time she spends at the hospital. --- On a drive home during a snowstorm, Peyton is in a near fatal accident that everyone blames on the weather except her she believes the other driver tried to kill her by forcing her vehicle into icy Jamaica Pond. Kevin especially scorns what he insists is her delusions before turning to a former lover but soon after they begin their tryst, she is killed. BPD arrests the married couple who are on trial while in the background waits a stalker who believes he receives messages to kill from sexy professionals like Peyton. --- Although some of the twists seem implausible, the author lives up to the first syllable of his surname as LIVING WITH STRANGERS grips readers from the moment Rudy the stalker surfaces and never slows down until the final life and death altercation. The fast-paced story line is fun to follow as the soap opera quartet (the married couple, the other woman and the stalker) merge into a fun thriller. Even without Jack Swyteck, readers know that Mr. Grippando writes a fine stand alone family drama crime caper. --- Harriet Klausner
This is ANOTHER great book by an amazing author. He just keeps getting better. This book has a thrilling story line with lots of twists.. I totally enjoyed it.
It wasn't bad, just not as good as his others. It seems like he could not figure out how to end it, so he just did...abruptly. We really got no insight at all about the 'bad guy.'
Apparently I am the only reviewer who disliked this book. I have read several of Grippando's books and have enjoyed them all. However I cannot put Lying With Strangers in this category. I quickly tired of all the distrust between husband and wife. It seemed to go on forever and the only reason I can figure is to simply add pages to a novel. The constant barrage of this subject made the book tiresome and disgusting. I would not recommend it to anyone. It will also be a long while before I read another one of his books.

Surgeon Q&A: "Can TAVR Be Used for a Bicuspid Aortic Valve & Aneurysm?" asks ValerieMonday, May 30th, 2016
Valerie sent me a GREAT question about transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR), bicuspid aortic valves and aortic aneurysms. Valerie asked, "Hi Adam – I have a bicuspid aortic valve and aneurysm. Is there any work being done using the TAVR method to also fix an aneurysm too? Or, does an aneurysm negate use of TAVR for valve surgery?"
To educate Valerie (and our entire community) about this very important topic, I contacted Dr. Michael Mack. So you know, Dr. Mack is Chairman of The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano, the Medical Director of Cardiovascular Surgery at the Baylor Health Care System and a former President of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Specific to TAVR, Dr. Mack was very involved in the PARTNER clinical trials which led to the first FDA approval of the Edwards SAPIEN valve in 2011.

Company Background
Hi Sun Technology (China) Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, collectively known as the "Group"; Stock Code : 0818.HK) is principally engaged in the provision of payment processing solutions, provision of financial solutions, sales of electronic power meters and solutions, provision of telecommunication solutions and provision of payment platform solutions.
Payment processing solutions
Since the pass of the inspections by the regulatory bodies in the first quarter of 2015 and the gradual resumption of acquiring new merchants in Q2 2015, we are now conducting business in over 27 provinces and cities in the PRC. There was a steady growth in the scale of transactions while there were over 800,000 accumulated merchants in the PRC as at the end of 2015 with a monthly transaction volume of over RMB60 billion in December 2015. During the year, we actively engaged in early settlement financial services business, which was effective and fruitful. The operating income of such business accounted for approximately 20% of the segmental turnover. In addition to the traditional fixed and mobile POS, we have launched MPOS in 2015, and we will launch other innovative payment processing solutions, such as the Smart POS, in an attempt to expand our market share by leveraging on our existing advantages. At the same time, we also began to introduce the internet payment services business and mobile payment services business, providing our customers with the online and offline integrated payment processing solutions. Looking forward, we will further expand our prospective financial businesses such as wealth management and financing business, actively capture the trend of internet finance development, and raise the proportion of income from financial related services. In 2015, the PRC government introduced a series of policies in relation to the internet finance industry, further acknowledging that non-bank payment institutions constitute an integral part of the financial payment system. We, being one of the leading non-bank payment institutions in the industry, will continue to maximize our room for development.
Financial solutions
During the year, the performance of our financial solutions business segment was steady and sound, especially the core banking system sector. Projects of China CITIC Bank and China Construction Bank were successfully put into operations, and other key projects, such as China Guangfa Bank, Dah Sing Bank, China Minsheng Bank (Singapore), China Everbright Bank (Seoul), Bank of Beijing (Hong Kong) were launched as scheduled. Among which, the second phase of China Guangfa Bank project were put into operation in January 2016, and is expected to bring positive return in 2016. The ATM outsourcing operation business has continued to bring steady cash flow. Furthermore, in light of the fact that bank customers have been transiting to internet finance in the payment and internet finance sector, we provided various integrated solutions of banks and internet companies by making use of the third-party payment platforms and P2P platforms. On the other hand, along with the growing customers of city commercial banks in the PRC, their asset size and the investment in IT systems have increased rapidly and transition of business has accelerated. On the premise that we reinforce our market position with the BIG5 (five major banks in China), joint-equity banks and their overseas subsidiaries, we will target city commercial banks as an emerging strategic market for strategic planning and investment.
Electronic power meters and solutions
In 2016, it is anticipated that the total tender volume of smart meters and data collection devices by the State Grid Corporation will remain stable, and the market capacity will be relatively steady. In 2016, the State Grid will focus on deepening the smart dual interactive technology research, innovating the dual interactive model of smart meters, conducting applied researches on harmonic wave electric meters and IR46 meters construction in compliance with the requirements of the international metrology organization, as well as proactively promoting smart manufacturing and energy internet. This demonstrates the higher levels of demand for technology smart meters and data collection devices are required in the future. As such, since 2015, we have begun to focus on key research and development projects, and undergone technical preparation, with the aim of maintaining the competitiveness in the market.
Telecommunication solutions
In 2015, IVR voice value-added business of China Mobile continued to keep its steady status, and the IVR voice Jiangsu Base of China Mobile had been pursuing business innovations for individual users. With the steady growth of data traffic products of the mobile internet - mobile voice magazines, integrated business of voice and short informative messages had been simultaneously conducted. At the same time, as a pilot scheme, the IVR voice base started to focus on the capacity output of voice and information to corporate users, attaining satisfactory achievements. The Migu Animation and Comic Base ( 咪 咕 動 漫 基 地 ) of China Mobile gained some new development opportunities and the related supporting services remained stable. Although the establishment of China Mobile's new and self-owned IVR business platform has created certain challenges on the revenue of the telecommunication solutions business segment, the remaining recurring IVR business is expected to remain stable while the income from innovative business focusing on individual users is set to increase continuously. Meanwhile, we consider that there will be an ample room for growth of the capacity output business focusing on the corporate communication market, and the demand for related supporting services will also increase progressively, restoring and boosting the income gradually.
Payment platform solutions
Looking ahead, we will continue to provide full operational supporting services for the China Mobile's 和 包 business (formerly known as "mobile payment" or "mobile wallet"). 和 包 offers a variety of safe and trendy experience for online and offline payment which is convenient and expedient for both individual and corporate users. As China Mobile continues to increase their investment, we expect that 和 包 business will develop rapidly, and the demand for our supporting services from China Mobile will also increase concurrently, yielding a stable income growth. Meanwhile, given that the E-commerce Base of China Mobile is insistently broadening its business horizon, we will seize such opportunity to cooperate with the base at the operation level. In addition, we will consistently invest into the internet finance sector, exploring the opportunity to innovate our own business in that sector.

Tigers hold off Gators, recover championship form
Published: Sunday, October 16, 2005 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 15, 2005 at 11:00 p.m.
BATON ROUGE, La. | Coaches Les Miles and Urban Meyer showed more emotion than they had all season.
No one would have guessed why, either.
Joseph Addai ran for a career-high 156 yards and a touchdown, JaMarcus Russell had two TD passes and the 10th-ranked Tigers ended a three-game home losing streak to No. 11 Florida with a 21-17 victory Saturday.
While most expected Miles to be overjoyed with LSUs comeback and impressive defensive performance, he was livid because of five turnovers, 11 penalties and five sacks.
Meyer, meanwhile, was fighting back tears at the other end of Tiger Stadium. Although he could have been upset by his offenses continued struggles, his eyes were glassy because he felt like the Gators showed heart for the first time this season.
I liked the passion," Meyer said after pausing several times to compose himself. I havent seen that a lot out of our team. Youll never hear me say Im proud of the team, because Im not when they lose. But I see guys that Ive never seen actually act like they like to put on a Gator football helmet. If theres a little thing you can take out of this, I think we toughened up a little bit."
LSU felt the same way.
The Tigers led 14-0 in the first quarter, but Florida scored 17 straight points to move ahead in the third. The momentum swing was reminiscent of LSUs last home game, when it squandered a 21-point lead against Tennessee and lost 30-27 in overtime.
The Tigers (4-1, 3-1 SEC) didnt let it happen again.
They put together a 12-play, 75-yard drive -- converting on fourth down and getting a big play on third-and-9 -- to move back in front for good with 12:35 to play. Addai ran seven times on the drive, including a 3-yarder for the go-ahead score.
As the game was going, the whole offense was getting stronger," Addai said. We started off the game well, but then we settled down. We just didnt worry about the scoreboard."
Russells plays were equally important on the winning drive. He gained 4 yards on fourth-and-1, then floated a 21-yard pass to Dwayne Bowe on third down to keep the drive alive. Russell finished 14-of-22 for 236 yards.
The Tigers won their third straight and remained close to Western Division unbeatens Alabama and Auburn. LSU plays Auburn next week and Alabama next month, meaning the Tigers still control their fate in the division race.
More important to Miles was correcting the miscues; LSU also had four turnovers and 14 penalties last week against Vanderbilt.
Theres got to be a stronger push and a greater commitment by our team," he said. Were going to fix it. If you turn the ball over the amount of times that we did and you have penalties that are unforced ... we will not be able to do the things that this team is capable of doing.
This football team has a lot in front of it. Right now, were just a sloppy team on offense."
The Gators (5-2, 3-2) can say the same thing. Chris Leak, playing with a bruised right shoulder, was sacked four times and finished with a career-low 107 yards passing. He completed 11 of 30 passes.

AbstractU.S. forces require rapid, early and accurate pathogen detection systems designed for use in extreme combat situations. Numerous options to deliver weaponized pathogens drives the necessity for U.S. forces to have technology to detect infectious pathogens.TPL has conceived a unique methodology for amplifying the presence of a pathogen without multiplying physical number of pathogens. TPL proposes using our highly stabilized acoustic wave sensor system that significantly reduces or eliminates inherentsusceptibility to various interferents (temperature, shock, internally and externally generated spurious noise, etc) to detect the biomolecular amplification cascade. Combined, these two innovations address the most critical issues in pathogen detection.In Phase I, TPL will demonstrate the feasibility of these two critical elements in a biosensor instrumentation system. The biomolecular amplification technique will be verified. The ability of the biosensor to detect the amplification agents will beconfirmed.The P.I. is responsible for the development of the highly stabilized acoustic wave sensor overcoming environmental sensitivities, which have plagued similar sensor developments. TPL will continue its collaborative relationship with the staff at theUniversity of New Mexico's Health Science Center in the use of this sensor for biochemistry-related measurements. The major commercial application of the proposed amplification of molecular signal using highly stabilized acoustic wave sensor will be inthe rapid, early and accurate infectious pathogen. Safeguarding all urban office and commercial facilities of high priority in the United States. These types of pathogen detection systems could be used in a mobile hand held units or could be used as fixedinstallations where large groups of people pass through. The number of this type of sensor system that could be sold to government and private companies could conceivably be in the hundreds of thousands.
