Alternative Energy Revolving Loan Program: The Montana Department of Environmental Quality offers the Alternative Energy Revolving Loan Program. This program provides a financing option to Montana homeowners, small businesses, non-profits, and government entities to install alternative energy systems. The program has traditionally been funded by air quality penalties collected by the Department of Environmental Quality. Energy from these renewable systems is intended for use by the owner—although net-metering is allowed for systems that generate electricity. Energy conservation measures installed in conjunction with an alternative energy project may be funded through the program, limited to 20% of the loan amount. Learn more about the Alternative Energy Revolving Loan Program at montana.gov.

Eligible investment types include most real estate projects and operating businesses (with some exceptions). Total project size of at least $3 million, project in a designated low-income census tract with either a poverty rate of 20% or greater or Gross Median Income of 80% of less of the state average, strong economic development and/or community impact, such as helping to create or retain jobs; acting as the catalyst for larger development, infusing sources of new investment capital into an under-served, low-income area; and creating new access to community services such as education, healthcare, child & elder care and retail services.

The governing body of the affected county or the incorporated city or town must approve by resolution the abatement. The tax benefit received is a percentage multiplier applied to the increase in taxable value of the qualifying improvements or modernized processes. The tax benefit applies to the number of mills levied and assessed for high school district and elementary school district purposes and to the number of mills levied and assessed by the local governing body approving the benefit. New/expanding industries will be taxed at 50% of taxable value for the first five years after a construction permit is issued. The tax rate is raised incrementally over the next five years to 100%.

The Virgin marketing machine was super quick out of the blocks this year, announcing a two-season shirt sponsorship with Newcastle United Football Club before many of us had taken down the Christmas trimmings. The timing couldn't have been better too, as the deal was struck the day before a rousing 3-0 triumph over Manchester United.
This week Virgin Money followed up with a photocall at its Northumberland Street branch in Newcastle where the vivid, new red branding was in evidence for all to see. As you'd expect, Sir Richard Branson was in the thick of it and in his element, smiling from ear to ear in his very own little black and white striped number.
While the 50,000-plus Geordies will be more concerned with the names on the back of shirts rather than the corporate logo on the front, those shirts and the Virgin Money branding will be much in evidence as the "toon army" descends on Premier League grounds up and down the land.
Away from the balloons, football shirts and razzmatazz, Virgin has also started to lay its stall out on the product front.
Two savings accounts have been launched, the Virgin Easy Access Saver and the Virgin Easy Access Cash ISA. The interest rate is the same for both at 2.85 per cent which is not to be sniffed at, especially when you take a closer look.
While you can get a better rate of 3.1 per cent on an easy-access savings account from Santander, the interest rate, as with many best buy accounts, is boosted by a 12-month introductory bonus, in this case a hefty 2.6 per cent. With the Virgin product, what you see is what you get, 2.85 per cent variable interest rate, no short-term bonus, unlimited, penalty-free withdrawals and available online, via the telephone and in branch.
The simple and transparent theme is evident in the Virgin ISA deal too, where the 2.85 per cent rate can be bettered by 0.2 per cent courtesy of AA Savings.
Again the Virgin offering isn't inflated by an introductory bonus, and unlike some top rates you are free to transfer in from previous years' ISA accounts.
All in all it's been a hectic opening for Branson and his crew and they've got off to a promising start.
However this is little more than the pre-match warm up and it will be more than just the masses inside St James's Park who'll be keeping an eye on what happens next, waiting to see if they can deliver for the full 90 minutes.
Nationwide ups the ante with best-buy credit card
Only last week I was sifting through the raft of new deals and incentives on offer from banks and building societies as they began 2012 with a vengeance.
From Tuesday competition will intensify as Nationwide Building Society hits back with a market-leading credit card.
The Select Credit Card is an excellent all-rounder, and there five solid reasons to give it a look.
The card comes with an interest-free deal on purchases for 18 months, three months more than long-time table toppers Tesco Bank and M&S Money.
There is a 0 per cent offer on balance transfers too, and while it won't trouble the Barclaycard Platinum 24-month card at the No 1 spot, a 17-month deal with a balance transfer fee of 2.95 per cent isn't too shabby.
When you consider the average interest rate for new credit cards is almost 18.4 per cent APR, the Select representative rate of 12.9 per cent APR looks cheap. The rate you receive will depend on your credit score, and could be as low as 9.9 per cent APR. Nationwide offers a "soft quote facility" where you can find out the rate you'd be offered without it affecting your credit file.
Another plus point is that all purchases abroad are free and won't attract the 2.75 per cent foreign loading fee levied by most credit cards.
The fifth and final benefit is that customers also receive cashback of 0.5 per cent on all sterling purchases.
It's a tasty offer and may well trigger similar deals from rivals.

Junkyard Turbo Swap! Chevy-Powered 1971 Datsun 240Z Autocross Thrash - Roadkill Ep. 26
What do you get when you cross a rusted 1971 Datsun 240Z with a Chevy 4.3L V6 and a turbo from a Ford Power Stroke Diesel? The Rotsun! During Roadkill Episode 25, Freiburger and Finnegan revived the Rotsun expecting it to dominate in the 9-car autocross showdown of previous Roadkill project cars. It also needed to beat a 2014 Kia Rio 5, but failed to do so with the Rotsun shamefully breaking down before completing a decent lap. So in this episode: revenge. After swapping in the mismatched turbo and making nearly 400 rear-wheel horsepower, the guys head to the autocross at the Goodguys 5th Spring Nationals in Scottsdale, Arizona and mingle with fans on their way to a rematch with that dastardly Kia. Roadkill appears on the Motor Trend channel. http://www.youtube.com/motortrend Subscribe now to make sure you're in on all the action! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=motortrend Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/RoadkillShow, http://facebook.com/motortrendmag & http://facebook.com/hotrodmag Twitter - http://twitter.com/motortrend & https://twitter.com/hotrodmagazine Google+ - https://plus.google.com/1018679678590...

Mercury retrograde lasts from December 19 2016 to January 8 2017 (15º Capricorn to 28º Sagittarius.) Mercury will station retrograde conjunct Pluto! This is a very exciting and dramatic period which is less about the usual travel and communication problems and more about deciphering secret code. There are also two stunning aspect patterns, the Cradle and the Yod which are explained in more detail later. Summary is at the end of this post.
Mercury's journey through the three decans should reflect the decan's themes into the news. Mercury is stronger in some decans than others and may not mute or repress the decan's qualities in the way you might think. Instead Mercury could make the decan feel hyper-real, or surreal and dreamlike. Check for echoed fate on the fixed star dates below. Retrograde hits are in purple.
Dec 19 to 26 2016 ~ Mercury Retrograde Capricorn Decan 2
14º Capricorn on Vega in Lyra the harp. Mercury will hit this star three times Dec 17/Dec 19 Rx/Jan 27 and gives: "Suspicious, reserved, bitter, thwarted ambitions, double dealing, secret enemies in influential positions, trouble with the mother, loss in business." [2] "Euphoric news, or news that cannot be believed." [1b]
12º Capricorn on Nunki in the vane of the archers hand, Sagittarius. Mercury will hit this star three times Dec 13/Rx Dec 24/Jan 25 and gives: "High government position, popular criticism, wealth, anxiety on account of illness to wife or mother." [2]
Mercury here is good for giving strength to tough, amazon types and super-nannies. It is a no-nonsense position, not a smooth-talker and reserved in speech. However in its silence it is as strong as an ox and will support you more than any flowery language can. Mercury here heals and nurses in a very hands-on way.
Practical magic is also another manifestation of this position. Here is the pagan who works in tune with nature. It is the robust work-ethic of a farm hand. Responsibility for children is emphasised here. School teachers or headmasters are in the news. But what Mercury Capricorn 2 really excels at, is organisation. It has the technical ability to know 'who' to slot into 'what' type of position. When Mercury is closer to Vega it has a more artisan bent. Fine craftsmen can make beautiful, solid objects that are also functional.
Dec 27 to Jan 4 2017 ~ Mercury Retrograde Capricorn Decan 1
8º Capricorn on Facies, the nebula in the Archer's face, Sagittarius. Mercury will hit this star three times Dec 9/Rx Dec 28/Jan 22. The Dec 29 New Moon on Facies will amplify Mercury even more. It gives: "A gift of prolonged and intense mental focus. A pessimistic attitude, or one who is judged, or speaks harshly. News of aggression and harsh actions" [1a]
A penetrating, inquiring Mercury is found here, one that can get to the core of an issue. This will make those touch by this retrograde period obsessive researchers who are ruthless in pursuit of the solution to the puzzle. However they may offend many in their quest for the truth as they won't be very tactful. Forensic detectives can have Mercury here and also people who like to pull apart quite gruesome subject matters in order to solve a crime. Austin Coppock calls this decan 'A headless body' which is fitting for the decan's creepy associations. This is especially relevant when child murderer (Mercury is children) Ian Brady and serial killer Harold shipman (A doctor) have Mercury here.
This position suits surgeons as Facies is so focused and precise. Mercury here is quite fascinated by the flesh, blood and bones of the human body, so would not balk at a Post-Mortem. This is exactly the type of Mercury position that would support a really indepth investigation to the PizzaGate allegations concerning pedophilia among the elite. Currently investigations are happening in the UK looking at young boys who have been sexually abused in various football clubs.

Sometimes the old things is not as useless as they seem and everyone is well aware of the needlewoman. Even the old form for baking, they have been used: a lampshade made out of it.
And I suggest you to create a miracle.
You will need
- - An old form vypekaniya-
- - An electrical conductor
- - Patron-electric
- - Incandescent 40 Bm
- - Cone-shaped piece of the old svetilnika-
- - Silver spray kraska-
- - drel-
- - Screwdriver.
From the outset, we need to drill. Install it in a drill 5 mm diameter metal, then drill in the center of the bottom of the baking tin hole. It is necessary to then stick to it an electric wire.
Then, using spray paint must beto give the appearance of all the details of the future of the lamp, ie the need to paint itself as a form for baking, and a tapered part. Allow the paint to dry.
Now we have to push the power cord into the opening designed for it, and then nanizhite all other parts of the lampshade.
Then proceed to collect the electrical part of the lampshade, connecting the electric wire to the cartridge. This part of the work to provide the best representatives of the stronger sex.
It remains only to check the shade, in fact, that is,be included in the power network. The lamp of the baking tin ready! Now you have at home there is one thing the original, made with his own hands.

The Bank of England shrugged off fears of a triple-dip recession today as it held fire on pumping billions extra into the UK's flat-lining recovery
The decision leaves its quantitative easing money-printing programme unchanged at £375 billion four years after the monetary policy committee embarked on quantitative easing. Interest rates, held again today at 0.5%, have also been lodged at their present record low since March 2009.
The vote is likely to have been a nail-biter after three of the nine-member committee, including Governor Sir Mervyn King, pictured, voted to inject another £25 billion into the economy in February. Despite a buoyant start to the year for stock markets on both sides of the Atlantic — and inflation well above the Bank's 2% target at 2.7% — the economy has been in reverse for four of the past five quarters after shrinking another 0.3% between October and December. Output remains 3% below its pre-recession peak almost five years ago.
More timely industry surveys meanwhile suggest that the economy is on course to grow a meagre 0.1% in the present quarter — missing the dreaded triple-dip by only the narrowest of margins.
Although the UK's dominant services firms enjoyed a better February, inconclusive elections in Italy have raised the spectre of a new phase in Europe's debt woes. Automatic spending cuts in America threaten prospects for the world's biggest economy this year.
The decision comes as Threadneedle Street — expected to shoulder the burden of reviving the economy as Chancellor George Osborne sticks to deficit-cutting plans — looks increasingly desperately for ways to spur growth.
Its Funding for Lending Scheme has been slow to make an impact on business credit and deputy Governor Paul Tucker has floated the idea of charging banks on their reserves at the central bank to encourage lending although fellow deputy Charlie Bean called this "blue-sky thinking".
The MPC has held policy unchanged since July last year, when it voted for a £50 billion increase as fresh eruptions in the eurozone hit financial markets and sapped growth prospects at home.

text: J.Goods Austin J. Goods was born and raised in Austin, TX and embodies everything that is cool about this town of just under one million people, 999,000 of which are involved in music in some way. Unlike Houston and Dallas, Austin is not limited by any one sound, and J. Goods is not content to limit himself either. A deft MC, who has been making music since the 6th grade when he started out as a percussionist in the school band, a position he stayed in throughout his school years, J. Goods sound combines real hip-hop lyricism with a party vibe and EDM beats, a new style of electronic dance music currently being popularized by artists like A-Trak, Flosstradamus and Diplo. His breakout single, "Get Filthy" was produced by Austin's own Shawn Dell and features legendary Dallas MC, and co-host of the Ricky Smiley Morning Show, Headkrack. It's a real party anthem that is getting attention like no other single from Austin before it, in the streets and overseas in India of all places. "This is crazy," J. Goods is about to drop a bomb, "But MTV India and Axe Shower Gel teamed up to introduce Axe to India and they used 'Get Filthy' and built their whole campaign around my song. We dropped our video online and all of a sudden we started getting comments like 'This is the Axe Shower Gel India Anthem!' When we made the deal we had no idea that it would be that big over there." A little Googling and J. Goods and his folks at Action Figures Music, a company based in Austin and helmed by Shawn Dell, found a full length video, similar in style to the video they had dropped, promoting Axe Shower Gel and using his entire song, as opposed to just a simple snippet in a commercial. Where all that will lead is still unknown, but the crew sees it as a blessing in disguise. The song has charted on Beatport and is moving good numbers on ITunes and Amazon. "The music industry is rewriting itself right now." Goods says, "There's a lot of room to play with right now. You can make your own rules and make it work with the internet and on all sorts of platforms." Its international presence doesn't stop in India. Triple J Radio, one of the biggest stations in Australia has been playing it. With each play they see their numbers spike on ITunes. DJ's from Germany, Russia, The Netherlands and the UK have been showing the song love and even sending in new remixes. His latest single "Bounz," produced by Y2JJ follows the same party vibe, but is another example of J. Goods interest in experimenting with new sounds and breaking new ground. This past year he has also started working with EDM producer Crizzly, and has performed with him at huge events like Nocturnal Wonderland and Vitamin Water's Disco Disco Disco with MSTRKRFT headlining. "My goal right now is to blend hip-hop with EDM production." Goods explains, "Guys like Shawn Dell and Y2JJ are working to develop this style with me. I love hip-hop but I don't think like everybody else. I really want to experiment with other sounds and EDM and Trap are sounds that I think really fit me.

Have a look at Slides EventCollections/EventFilters. If you want to implement pluggable event based logging, event ordering is also very helpful. This saved me much time in debugging/understanding what's going on in the Slide core. But it all depends on what events are used for. I tried to keep it as open as possible, so you can get every event inside a transaction or you can get a filtered event collection before/after transaction commit.

I will be traveling to Aracaju from Salvador, Bahia on June 18 and stay until June 22. Firstly, I need a nice, in-expensive place to stay for 4 or 5 days. Secondly, is it better to fly to Aracaju from Salvador or take the Bus and do you know how much each cost? (round trip) Thanks.
DeJuan Williams
Interesting places, things to do?
I've been to Aracaju in NE Brazil twice, and will be there again for a few days in October - staying with friends.. One guidebook describes it (sorry about this) as being as interesting as last week's newspaper. It's got a great beach, but I'm not a beach person (though the people watching is pretty good). Anyone got hot tips on things to do there? In Aracaju itself (I know about places outside the town).

On Wednesday, Lord Sugar will be unveiling the chronically-delayed YouView internet television service. If the £115m project had been a task for his apprentices, then those who have failed to get the product to market in time for the showcase of the London Olympics would surely have been fired.
YouView, we were informed when it launched in 2010, would be the living room box that changed everything. It would allow us to scroll backwards for a week on our programme menus, as well as forwards, and offer interaction with social media sites. YouView would have "bleeding-edge technology" and a "massive range of content", the CEO, Richard Halton, told me during a guided tour two year ago.
We were led to expect channels from a host of new internet broadcasters, ranging from arts organisations to charities, and we were promised the service would be available from last summer.
In fact, the reveal this week feels like a panicky attempt to tell the public that YouView is "nearly there", but it won't be over the line in time for the most important British digital broadcasting opportunity of them all. The BBC announced last week that it will stream 24 channels of Olympics content on Facebook, the first time the broadcaster has partnered with the social-media giant in this way.
Meanwhile, Apple TV already offers television, films, YouTube streaming and all the content from your other Apple devices for £99. Smart TV providers such as Samsung give access to the BBC iPlayer, YouTube and key film providers Netflix and Lovefilm. Sky will launch its NOW TV internet television brand imminently. Virgin Media, which is planning something similar, already provides most of the key features that YouView will offer.
Into this very crowded market, YouView will emerge this autumn with a price tag of £200 for the box but no charge for its basic service. Its core market will be the 20 million households who currently take the free-to-air Freeview service. Lord Sugar, who is chairman of YouView, will not be amused by news that millions of Freeview customers face bills of up to £212 for installing filter equipment to protect their television signals from interference caused by the 4G mobile network that is due to launch next year.
Much is riding on YouView. The seven partner organisations (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, BT Vision, Talk Talk and Arqiva) are expected to invest more than £16m each in the system.
But the exciting talk of two years ago seems to have gone. YouView will not be capable of searching the internet and it will launch without the presence of those non-traditional broadcasters who could revolutionise the viewing experience. Social interaction and obscure content are pleasures that YouView customers must enjoy on the second screen of a mobile or tablet. "We don't see any evidence that customers really want to search the Internet on their telly, they have got other devices they can do that with," Marc Watson, CEO of BT Vision and a YouView board member, told me last week.
Instead, the marketing message will concentrate on YouView's simplicity of use and the final weeks to launch will be spent on improving the speed of navigation of its extensive library of around 20,000 programmes from the major broadcasters, plus film and music services. Users will be able to scroll backwards and forwards through the channel guide and watch programmes recommended for them on the basis of their viewing habits.
"The thing that we thought was very important was that this remains a television experience," said Watson. "We wanted to make this as unintrusive as possible."
When it finally arrives, YouView will inevitably be televised but it will hardly be a revolution.
Hobsbawm's rise highlights a lack of women in the top jobs
Having been made the inaugural "Professor in Networking" at the Cass Business School, Julia Hobsbawm was on Friday named as "Media Woman of the Year" by Real Business magazine.
While this is a great accolade for London's finest salonnière, it highlights the lack of women at the top of the British news media in 2012.
The loss, for diverse reasons, of News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks, Trinity Mirror boss Sly Bailey and long-standing Sunday Mirror editor Tina Weaver has shorn national newspapers of their biggest female stars.
Only Dawn Neesom, editor of the Daily Star, and the newly appointed Sarah Sands at the London Evening Standard occupy senior roles.
The commercial broadcasters are all run by men and it is looking unlikely that we will be getting our first female director general of the BBC, in spite of Caroline Thomson, the chief operating officer, and Helen Boaden, director of news, being among the early front-runners.
It's not as if women have not been doing cutting-edge journalism. the past year has seen stunning bravery from the likes of Alex Crawford (Sky News), Lindsey Hilsum (Channel 4 News) and the late Marie Colvin (Sunday Times). Among the best investigative reporters of the moment are Claire Newell and Holly Watt (Daily Telegraph), The Guardian 's Amelia Hill, and Melanie Newman at the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
No doubt Hobsbawm and her editorial intelligence networking organisation will be addressing such issues on Thursday when they examine the gender balance of commentators in the media at a debate called "Gender Commentaria". It will, at least, be an opportunity to schmooze.
* "A little lock up in Islington where a number of people with a record player are trying to make each other laugh all day." That was how the editor of The Word, Mark Ellen, described his music magazine when I visited it five years ago.
Back then he was enthusing about the potential of podcasts and the enduring appetite of readers for the fine writing of his team of "silver-haired old rock bores". But now "dramatic changes in the media and the music business" have caused the magazine to close after nine years.
The turntable on the record player has ceased to revolve and the laughter has stopped.Reuse content

The man behind Take That's successful comeback live shows will be in charge of the closing ceremonies at the London 2012 Games, organisers announced today.
Choreographer and creative director Kim Gavin, who masterminded Take That's live performances on the Circus Tour, is the artistic director for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Gavin, who also choreographed and directed the Concert for Diana and the Help the Heroes Concert, told the Press Association it was the "ultimate prize".
Bournemouth-born Gavin said he was "really excited" about his new job but is still figuring out the content of the showpiece finales.
No decisions have been made including which famous faces might be taking part.
His friend Take That's Gary Barlow told the Press Association: "Me and the guys are thrilled that Kim has been asked to create the closing ceremony.
"We know with him in charge it's going to be one great celebration for the whole country.
"We're very proud of our live shows and Kim has always been at the very heart of their creation.
"We wish him all the success in the world and before you ask, no, he hasn't asked us to be in the show - yet!"
Gavin will be working with stage and costume designer Es Devlin who has been appointed as the designer for the Olympic closing ceremony.
Her most recent claim to fame has been as the designer for Lady Gaga's Monster Ball US Tour.
She has also worked on tours for Muse, Kanye West, Take That and the Pet Shop Boys.
She also designs opera, drama and dance for the Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne, English National Opera, National Theatre, Royal Shakespeare Company and Sadlers Wells.
Devlin has also won the TPi Stage Designer of the Year award in 2010 and 2011 - the live production industry's version of the Oscars.
A "delighted" Devlin said: "We are envisaging a truly imaginative celebration and I'm honoured to be part of the team."
Grammy-award winning film composer and record producer David Arnold also joins the team as music director for both closing ceremonies.
Arnold has followed in the footsteps of legendary John Barry as the composer for James Bond films including Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day.
He has also worked on records by Dame Shirley Bassey, George Michael, KD Lang, Iggy Pop, Bjork and the Kaiser Chiefs.
Arnold, who was raised in Luton, described his new job as a "huge honour", adding: "As a nation we excel throughout the world in music. Our team will be readying an electrifying and thrilling soundtrack for this spectacular event."
London 2012 chairman Lord Coe said the ceremonies "are now certainly in the best possible hands".
Oscar winner Danny Boyle has already been named as the artistic director for the Olympic Games opening ceremony while Stephen Daldry leads a team of executive producers in charge of all the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic opening and closing ceremonies.
Boyle has appointed designer Thomas Heatherwick to design the Olympic Cauldron for the Games.
The artistic director for the opening ceremony for the 2012 Paralympics is to be announced in the summer.
Daldry said: "As executive producers we are committed to attract the best talent in the world into key roles, and these appointments today certainly do that.
"We're delighted to welcome Kim, Es and David on board and look forward to developing wonderful celebrations for the closing ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games."

I love my 250 Subcompact, but, I hate to disappoint you. Sig has not released the Sub in 45 acp yet, and I'm not sure if they are. Two calls to Sig retrieved two different answers: One said the 45 Subcompact was not going to happen, the other said they' re still working out the bugs. The 250 Sub is available in 40 though.
My choice was to go with the Glock 36 in 45 ACP, same cartridge count as the 39 and it's skinnier, and ammo is readily available.

The scientists of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, LSU Ag Center, and the Biotech Center at Rutgers, as part of their collaboration in the BRC, are committed to training in research.
A specific aim of the BRC is to expand the critical mass of investigators addressing botanical research by identifying, recruiting, and mentoring promising young investigators. Thus, a resubmission research training program application titled, "Training in Botanical Approaches to Combat Metabolic Syndrome" is proposed for the BRC. The objective of this proposed training grant is to train both Ph.D. and M.D. postdoctoral fellows who possess graduate training in research methods and laboratory techniques to become productive research scientists capable of establishing scientific careers that further the efforts to understand the role of botanicals on the complex interactions between genetic, molecular and physiological aspects of the metabolic syndrome. Today's researchers need to understand the applications of the molecular and genetic approaches as well as the methods for investigating the function of target genes and the effect specific botanicals may have on these processes. It is difficult to get such a wide oversight or expertise during predoctoral programs. Hence, it is important to provide opportunities at the postdoctoral level for training in complementary areas. Our postdoctoral training will be directed towards this goal, enhancing research interactions between botanical characterization and molecular/genetic/physiologic approaches at both the basic science and clinical research areas. Specifically, we aim to bridge the divide between the plant discovery/characterization approach and the molecular biology/physiological approach. We are requesting 14 full-time Ph.D. or M.D. postdoctoral trainee stipends for the five-year grant period. Trainees will be supported for two to three years. We are requesting five full-time postdoctoral trainee stipends for the initial year of the grant;two entry level and three third year postdocs. Each postdoctoral fellow will be encouraged to develop interdisciplinary research efforts to understand the effect and action of botanicals on components of the metabolic syndrome. The program will take advantage of the cutting-edge technologies and the wide range of research efforts related to botanicals and metabolic syndrome that are available at the Pennington Center and the Biotech Center at Rutgers. This broad-based training program will enable trainees to establish successful research careers in academia, academic medicine, government agencies and in the private sector in the study of botanicals and metabolic disease.
Metabolic syndrome is defined as a condition whose major features consist of obesity, insulin resistance, and development of type 2 diabetes. Metabolic syndrome is now reaching epidemic proportions worldwide, and it represents one of the most important public health problems today. The Botanicals Research Center (BRC) is dedicated to providing a comprehensive evaluation of botanicals in addressing the pathophysiologic mechanisms that lead to the development of insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome.

The former Goldman Sachs vice-president Fabrice Tourre has been found liable for defrauding investors in a complex subprime mortgage deal that left them nursing $1bn (£756m) in losses when the financial crisis tore through the housing market.
A federal jury of nine men and women decided against the 34-year-old French national on their second day of deliberations in what is one of the highest-profile cases to emerge from the financial crisis. Mr Tourre now faces the prospect of a hefty fine. He could also be barred from working on Wall Street after the jury found him liable on six of the seven counts of violating securities laws that had been levelled against him.
Facing criticism for its failure to pursue individual bankers in the aftermath of the crisis, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the body responsible for policing US markets, had lined up its top lawyers against Mr Tourre, whose defence was paid for by Goldman Sachs.
"We are gratified by the jury's verdict," Andrew Ceresney, the co-head of SEC's enforcement arm, said. "We will continue to vigorously seek to hold accountable, and bring to trial when necessary, those who commit fraud on Wall Street."
Goldman Sachs was not part of the trial, having settled with the SEC by paying $550m in a deal under which it did not admit or deny any wrongdoing.
The case centred on a complex mortgage-based security called Abacus. Mr Tourre worked on the security while employed by Goldman Sachs, and the SEC claimed that he had misled investors who backed Abacus by failing to inform them about the role of a prominent Wall Street hedge fund called Paulson & Co.
The Paulson fund helped select the mortgages that made up Abacus. The fund then placed bets against the security, in contrast to investors such as ABN Amro, who backed Abacus. When the financial crisis depressed mortgage values, the security collapsed, earning a profit for Paulson – but leading to a combined loss of around a $1bn for investors like ABN, which is now owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland. The fund, which was said by the SEC to have made a profit of a similar amount, was not accused of any wrongdoing.
Although the trial has ended in a victory for the regulator, critics have questioned the SEC's decision to go after a mid-level Goldman employee after settling with the powerful Wall Street bank.
Responding to the jury's verdict, Goldman Sachs said: "As a firm, we remain focused on being more transparent, more accountable, and more responsive to the needs of our clients."Reuse content
