In ichthyosis vulgaris, the skin cells are produced at a normal rate, but they do not shed normally at the surface of the outermost layer of skin (stratum corneum) and are not shed as quickly as they should be. The result is a build-up of scale. Fine scales usually develop on the back and over muscles near the joints, such as an elbow or knee (extensor muscles). Ichthyosis is usually most common and severe over the lower legs.

One of my favorite posts was "Party House in Los Gatos." I noticed this house had come on the market again… Believe it or not, the property sold! They only got $4.8 million for it which is a far cry from the $11.5 they wanted back in 2008!
Wait, 2008? Party House ran in 2011! How could we forget?

VIDEO 1: NBC Nightly News Visits Keystone RV
May 24, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on VIDEO 1: NBC Nightly News Visits Keystone RV
Today's Video #1 features a news story broadcast on Thursday (May 23) on "NBC Nightly News" about the RV industry. Focusing to an extent on Keystone RV Co. Inc., it was taped in part in Goshen, Ind., prior to the bombing at the Boston Marathon in April and news priorities prompted the network to hold the report until Thursday.
Keystone RV officials told RVBusiness they were pleased with NBC's treatment of their company and the RV industry, timed as it was in advance of the Memorial Day weekend and the official kickoff of the summer travel season. "NBC did a story way back in the RV 'dark days' about people losing their jobs and how tough it was on Elkhart," said Keystone Marketing Director Jim Mac. "They interviewed some Keystone workers in the Montana plant and decided to come back now for a 'then and now' report. Keystone was honored to represent the comeback of the RV industry in the national media."
So, for the moment, RVBUSINESS.COM's interview with Fleetwood RV Inc. President & CEO John Draheim is on Video #2 and the segment with Airstream Inc. President & CEO Bob Wheeler is in the Video 3 slot.

Contact Solutions, Drops, and Cases at Walgreens
Contact lenses can help improve your vision whether you're looking straight ahead or using your peripheral vision to take in the world around you. This is why they are preferred over eyeglasses by many individuals. In order to ensure that your contact lenses optimally enhance your ability to see and remain safe for your eyes, you must care for them on a daily basis using quality contact lens supplies. Walgreens has the products you need for daily care.
Products for Disinfecting and Removing Debris
All day long, your contact lenses are exposed to fine particulates in the air and impurities like bacteria. To keep your lenses sanitary and maintain clear vision, you must take steps to clean them on a daily basis. Lens cleaners are designed to remove debris and are typically rubbed over the contact lens to loosen build-up. Disinfecting solutions may be used afterward to eliminate germs and ensure they are hygienic. If you wear daily contacts instead of disposables, your eye doctor may have you use an enzyme cleaner on a regular basis to lift away protein build-up that can negatively impact vision.
Solutions for Proper Storage
Soft contact lenses must remain properly hydrated to avoid rips and tears and ensure your comfort. When you're not wearing your lenses, you must store them in liquid to keep them at their best. Saline solution is the contact lens care product designed for lens storage. This saltwater solution is also ideal for rinsing your contact lenses after cleaning or to remove foreign objects like an eyelash. Never rinse your contact lenses with saliva or plain tap water, as this could result in eye infections. Unless you wear disposable contact lenses that you replace daily, you'll need a contact lens case for storing your contacts overnight. There are many different case styles available to suit your needs and make contact lens care simpler.
Drops for Improving Comfort
Many contact lenses wearers develop redness and discomfort throughout the day due to dryness. When wearing contacts, it's important that you don't use just any type of eye drop to deal with dry eyes. Rewetting drops are made specifically for use with contact lenses and help lubricate the lenses without exposing the lenses to chemicals that could damage their surfaces.
Choosing the Right Products and Getting Best Results
The type of solutions, drops and cases that are best for your needs will vary depending on the type of contact lenses that you wear, the health of your eyes and conditions of your lifestyle. Your eye doctor can help you determine what steps are vital to keeping your contacts in the best possible condition. Be sure to follow your optometrist's recommendations to the letter, using the products he or she recommends in the way you are instructed in order to protect your eye health and preserve your contacts. If you're unsure which products in the Walgreens collection are right for you, ask your eye doctor for advice.

The HackRF is on Kickstarter, so here's a little write-up of some of the awesome stuff you can do with it, and why you should go get one.
I've been wanting to play around with my car keyfobs for a while; mostly out of idle curiosity. They're something everyone has, and tend to put out a nice clean signal. For my testing I used a 2006 Subaru keyfob, and my friend's Kia keyfob - they use different encodings, so this is a fairly interesting test.
Beyond academic interest, keyfobs may not be that useful to play with - they (should) all use rolling codes so that a captured unlock sequence can't be used more than once. I wouldn't assume they've all implemented this properly, of course, as some conferences and speakers are pointing out. It's definitely an area where more research is needed.
To start with, I did some searching to find out what frequency they operate at. It turns out Kia runs at 315MHz, while Toyota and Subaru run at 433.847MHz (for many models, at least).
So, now we know where to look - what do we do with that? First off, I fired up GQRX to get an idea of what was going on; pressing the keyfob returned data (sorry, don't have a screenshot handy of that specifically, but here's an example of gqrx capturing OOK data):
So we know something is going on; now we want to record it. The quickest way to do this is hackrf_transfer:
$ hackrf_transfer -r Kia-312MHz-8M-8bit.iq -f 312000000 -s 8000000
Notice we're capturing slightly off-center from 315MHz. Since we're capturing 8MHz wide, we'll get our signal, but by offsetting from center we avoid the DC offset which causes a spike at the center of the HackRF tuning band. Recent firmware has made this significantly smaller, but it's still easy to avoid entirely, so lets do that.
Leave hackrf_transfer running for a while, while pressing the lock (or unlock) button on your key fob a few times. After a few seconds, hit control-c to stop capturing.
I suggest naming your files carefully - the capture data itself is raw IQ samples, and doesn't contain any indication of how wide the samples are (8M), what the center frequency is (312MHz), or how it's encoded (for HackRF, all the captures are 8bit). Better to name it properly to begin with.
Now we've got a big file of capture data; what can we do with it? One good tool is baudline - http://www.baudline.com/download.html ... Unfortunately the licensing terms for baudline prevent its inclusion in distributions, so you'll need to download it independently.
There are a few quirks with baudline - one of them is that it doesn't handle large files (over about 50MB) very well, another is that it runs "file" (the file autotype detection) on any file you provide for it. This is slow, so a quick fix for that is to alter your $PATH variable before launching baudline. My baudline launcher script looks like:
export PATH=~/bin/disable:$PATH

Tim Farron: No library closed under Lib Dem leadership
Originally published by UK Liberal Democrats
Liberal Democrat-controlled Cardiff is opening five new libraries and Portsmouth and Bristol are also opening new libraries.
Commenting, Liberal Democrat Party President, Tim Farron said:
"While Conservatives and Labour councils their budgets without regard for the most vulnerable, Liberal Democrat-controlled councils know how to protect essential services.
"Encouraging and enabling reading is vital to the development of children and adults alike. If we don't give our children the opportunity to practice and perfect their reading skills at a young age, they will struggle to catch up later in life.
"Libraries are a life-line for local communities, especially for those who are less well off, and give people the opportunity to relax, learn new information and skills or to use the internet if they don't have it at home.
"Cutting services like Labour and Tory councils are doing will do long-term damage. Liberal Democrats are doing the right thing thanks to our financial competency in the councils we run. That is also the reason why not only have Liberal Democrat councils kept libraries open, but councils in England have also frozen council tax and are most likely to be giving the lowest-paid council workers a pay rise."

For all my ravings about craft-brewed this and complex-flavoured that, I do like to keep a supply of easy-drinking fizzy lager in the house for everyday drinking. My beer of preference for this is Euroshopper lager from Superquinn, which I took a shipment of last night.
Euroshopper beer has a bit of a bad press, having a dodgy name, being dead cheap and the favourite of Dutch al fresco alcoholics. But this reputation is ill-deserved.
The case for the defence:
1. It's Dutch. Imported from the Netherlands: a nation who know how to make beer and expect much of it (though why Heineken allow their name to be used on such dreadfully vapid lagers brewed under licence around the world is beyond me. It might possibly have something to do with the money).
2. The can, though not designed by a team of psychologically-trained marketing experts, features a list of ingredients (and there's nothing there that shouldn't be there). Listing ingredients ought to be mandatory and it would certainly help to show people in this country at least what shite goes into the beers made by the big industrial breweries.
3. It's drinkable. A lot of the cheap lagers we get taste awful. Dutch Gold, for instance, is made from and tastes of, sweetcorn. Harp, Carling, Fosters and the other less-than-premiums all have something wrong in the flavour department. Euroshopper, however, is at least as good as Carlsberg and Heineken and significantly better than Bud. I think the reason for this goes back to point 1.
4. It's full strength. The premiums weigh in at around 4.2-4.3% ABV. Euroshopper is the full 5. Why pay more for less?
5. It's cheap. At €1.15 per 500ml it's close to half what you'd pay in a supermarket for Budweiser, Carlsberg, Heineken or Miller. That €1.15 pays for the beer that's in the can and the journey from the brewery. It does not pay for TV advertising, sports sponsorship or all the other expensive stuff the big guys use to get us to buy their mediocre beer at hyperinflated prices.
Having said all that, I notice that DBC's Beckett's lager is now being sold for €1.29 a bottle. I'd trade up to that in a heartbeat if I could find a way of buying it in the quantities I want.

(Updated with additional information.)NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) saw its first regulatory action in connection to the multi-billion dollar trading loss it suffered last year. The Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency late Monday issued enforcement actions ordering the bank to remedy the breakdown in risk management that led to the "London Whale" trades - -outsized bets in credit derivatives by a London-based group of traders that caused the bank more than $6 billion in losses. The bank's internal controls "failed to identify and prevent certain credit derivatives trading conducted by the CIO that resulted in substantial loss to the bank, which has exceeded $6 billion," the OCC said in its order. Investigations into the derivatives trading activities found deficiencies including "inadequate oversight and governance to protect the bank from material risk, inadequate risk management processes and procedures, inadequate control over trade valuation, inadequate development and implementation of models used by the bank, and inadequate internal audit processes." The Fed also highlighted the deficiency in the senior management's elevation of issues to board of directors, which did not allow for the board's meaningful consideration of such issue The consent order does not require the bank to pay any fine, but outlines steps for the bank to enhance its risk-management. Other regulatory agencies are also investigating the CIO debacle. The U.K. Financial Services Authority is continuing its investigation into the losses by the London office, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations led by Senator Carl Levin (D- Mich.) is also conducting its investigation on how the bank handled the trades. It will also look into the role the OCC played as a regulator and its failure to detect the trades. "The Firm continues to respond to litigation, as well as investigations, relating to the losses in the synthetic credit portfolio that had been managed by the CIO," the bank said in its filing with the SEC. "The Firm is cooperating with these investigations." JPMorgan Chase, meanwhile, is expected to release a 50-page report of its internal probe on Wednesday, when the bank reports its result. The bank's board is also reportedly meeting Tuesday to weigh the compensation package for CEO Jamie Dimon and former CFO Doug Braunstein. JPMorgan has shuffled the management ranks in the wake of the trading scandal. Most recently, former investment banking CEO Jes Staley, who was once pegged to be succeed Dimon, left the bank to join Blue Mountain, a hedge fund that helped the bank unwind the positions. The OCC and Fed also issued a separate enforcement action ordering the bank to beef up its anti-money laundering procedures, similar to the enforcement action issued to Citigroup ( C) last year. The OCC said that the bank's anti-money laundering controls had "critical deficiencies with respect to suspicious activity reporting, monitoring transactions, conducting customer due diligence and risk assessment, and implementing adequate systems of internal controls and independent testing." -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York.

American voters will soon be well acquainted with the Republican presidential candidates vying to unseat President Barack Obama. The first primaries are only a couple months away.
For those who don't follow the daily news flow, there is a series of nationally televised debates to get to know the candidates and issues. Having begun in May, the next major debate is CNBC's co-sponsored one in Rochester, Mich., Nov. 9.
What's more, this presidential election will be somewhat unique. It is the first to reflect the Tea Party movement, as well as the groundbreaking 2010 Supreme Court ruling, Citizens United v. FEC, that struck down long-standing limits on campaign spending by corporations and unions.
Fundraising, however, is just one of several critical ingredients to success. A candidate's grasp of the issues, personal history, and campaign skills can also make or break a run for the White House.

Tehran: Famed Iranian poet Simin Behbahani, who wrote of the joys of love, demanded equal rights for women and spoke out about the challenges facing those living in her homeland, died on Tuesday at the age of 87.
Behbahani had been hospitalised and unconscious in Tehran since August 6 and later died of heart failure and breathing problems, Iran`s official IRNA news agency reported.
Behbahani, born Simin Khalili on July 20, 1927, saw her poetry often used by Iranian singers as the basis for love songs. Her poems came in a variety of styles, far from classical and routine forms normally associated with Persian prose.
However, Behbahani`s work also focused on the challenges facing Iran in the wake of its Islamic Revolution in 1979 and women`s rights, her strong words earning her the nickname of the "Lioness of Iran." Behbahani, who studied law at Tehran University in the 1950s, was awarded the Simone de Beauvoir Prize for Women`s Freedom in 2009 and was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
US President Barack Obama even once recited her work in a video message in honour of Nowruz, the Persian New Year, saying: "Old I may be, but, given the chance, I will learn."
Saeed Hamidian, a literature professor at Tehran Allameh University, praised Behbahani for her focus on politics and societal issues.
"We see strong social and political aspects in works of Behbahani in a capacity that does not exist in poems by other female poets," Hamidian said. "Behbahani`s works have the entire power of a classical tone, however, it is not in a difficult language, too."
However, Behbahani`s work also saw her targeted by authorities. In 2010, Iranian authorities barred her from leaving the country to attend an International Women`s Day event in Paris. In 2006, authorities shut down an opposition newspaper for printing one of her works, an editor there said at the time.
In his 2011 video, Obama described Behbahani as "a woman who has been banned from travelling beyond Iran, even though her words have moved the world."
Yet she remained a constant force in Iranian life, writing after the country`s disputed 2009 election: "Stop this extravagance, this reckless throwing of my country to the wind."
The poem ends: "You may wish to have me burned or decide to stone me / But in your hand, match or stone will lose their power to harm me."

A bunch of tech wonks and nerds issued a report last week that provided a shockingly accurate conclusion about NASA's Strategic Plan: it's vague, generic, and there's no national consensus for taxpayer support. Now it's time for the agency to look beyond its comfy fishbowl of geeks and contractors to fix its problem.
No, it's been time for many years, and the Committee on NASA's Strategic Direction said as much. NASA was hatched from a handful of bureaucracies in the late 1950s to get Americans into space faster than the Soviets, and the first Moon landing in 1969 completed that mission brilliantly. Our eyes have glazed over since then, unless things have gone wrong with its shuttles, the ISS, and various unmanned probes nominally launched in the pursuit of science, but really investments in keeping itself in business.
It takes skill to turn the Ultimate Adventure into a bureaucratic afterthought.
Exploration didn't used to be so boring. Monarchs and consortia of the rich or foolhardy have been putting up money for voyages of discovery since the beginning of time, though by "discovery" they meant "discover profits." It's how the New World was explored and exploited, and it enabled the Westward expansion of the United States. Sure, scientists tagged along on many of the gigs, but the governments were foremost interested in making money.
It's how the exploration business works: governments pave the way (with knowledge gained through building roads, rail, and ships) and then the rest of us literally jump on the, er, bandwagon. This bringing together of national and individual lust for wealth has been the engine of exploration for all of history.
It's how it has worked here since President Jefferson sent Lewis & Clark into the wilderness to find a waterway to ship goods. Eisenhower's national highway system made possible everything from transporting fresh produce to the social mobility of suburban living. The Defense Department gave us what would become the Internet.
NASA has given us billions of dollars in expenditure on stuff we either don't know or care about. Satellites help me text and watch VOD, but satellites were getting thrown into orbit before President Kennedy announced we were going to the Moon. Miniaturized electronics are a nice Apollo Program offshoot, but byproducts aren't the same thing as named deliverables.
What needs to happen? NASA has to stop talking to itself. The folks on that committee have been drinking the Tang for too long. The agency is the Microsoft of exploration, and it's time for it to start thinking like Apple and declare big, high/risk and high/reward goals like explorers did in the past, such as:
Did you know that last year NASA announced that it would land spacecraft on asteroids and figure out how to go to Mars (Curiosity is already trolling there for the best real estate)? I know, the news was kept practically secret, perhaps in part because nobody bothered to explain why it was so incomprehensibly cool and promising. NASA also unveiled a new heavy-lift rocket design to get people there, and named it...wait for it...SLS. Not Andromeda or New Hope or whatever.
No wonder virtual reality is more enticing to people these days. NASA gives its rockets acronym names like they're line items in a budget (which they are). Or diseases.
Why are well-intentioned bureaucrats narrating these adventures in reality instead of folks who know how to sell stuff? We marketers know how to get people excited about shoes and smartphone apps. Do we really think that America's Ultimate Adventure is inherently doomed to be ignored or misunderstood?
The real point isn't that NASA needs a purpose, it's that we need NASA. There are few industries and domains that the United States owns, but we own far more of space exploration than we do, say, entertainment. It's a source of national competitive advantage for us, and no amount of private space tourism shenanigans can take its place. Finding money-making opportunities in outer space is something every American taxpayer could support if we understood why we'd all benefit.
We need NASA to become the engine for getting thousands of other companies, institutions, and individuals involved in space exploration and development. Making money should be the literal currency for achieving that purpose, which will spin-off all the science and social benefits that every other exploration initiative has yielded throughout history.
Everyone knows the problem. The solution is obvious. No more studies or committees.
It's time to launch.
UPDATE 01.14.13: The latest news about China's agressive space program efforts suggest that the national security rationale for our work hasn't faded? Surprising that we hear so little about it.

JONESBORO (AStateRedWolves.com) – Trooper Taylor, a 21-year coaching veteran at the NCAA FBS level who helped lead Auburn to a 2011 BCS National Championship, has been named Arkansas State's cornerbacks coach as announced by A-State Head Football Coach Blake Anderson.
Taylor has been a part of nine bowl games during his career, which includes stops at Baylor, New Mexico, Tulane, Tennessee, Oklahoma State and, most recently, Auburn. He comes to A-State after serving as the Tigers' assistant head coach and wide receivers coach from 2009-12.
"As a main of faith, family and football, I am excited to be a part of the Jonesboro community and the outstanding football program here at Arkansas State," said Taylor. "With back-to-back GoDaddy Bowl victories and three straight Sun Belt Conference championships, this program's sustained success obviously speaks for itself."
In Auburn's 2010 national championship season, Taylor's receiver corps produced in all phases, making impact catches and providing hard-nosed blocking for the Tigers' conference-best rushing attack. Auburn receivers connected on 45 plays of 20 yards or more, including five plays of 60 yards or more, as the Tigers set a school record for points (577) and led the Southeastern Conference averaging 41.2 points per game. The Tigers had three receivers total 500 yards or more and as a unit averaged 16.9 yards per catch, hauling in 2,461 of Auburn's total 3,002 total passing yards.
He helped lead the Tigers to a 43-24 Chick-Fil-A Bowl victory over Virginia and a No. 25 BCS ranking in 2011. Receiver Emory Blake was responsible for six receptions for 108 yards in the bowl-game victory that gave the Tigers their eighth win of the year.
During his first season, he helped the Auburn offense emerge as one of the nation's finest, while also solidifying his reputation as a top-notch recruiter. The Auburn offense set numerous school records during the 2009 season, including points in a season (433), most total yards of offense in a season (5,613) and most plays in a season (914).
Taylor coached Darvin Adams, who broke the Auburn single-season record for receptions with 60 for 997 yards and ranked second in the SEC with 10 touchdown catches. Adams, who entered the season with just three career catches for 18 yards, was named the MVP of the Outback Bowl after hauling in career highs of 12 receptions for 142 yards.
In addition to his coaching duties on the field, Taylor was also instrumental in helping Auburn bring in some of the most highly regarded recruiting classes in the nation as the Tigers' 2010, 2011 and 2012 recruiting classes were ranked fourth, third and 17th, respectively, by ESPN.com.
Auburn signed a consensus top-five recruiting class in 2010, when Taylor was named to Rivals.com's its list of the top-25 recruiters in the nation and one of the top 10 recruiters in the SEC. It marked the third time he was named to the top-25 list by Rivals.com, having previously earned the recognition in 2005 and 2007.
In 2008, his only season at Oklahoma State, Taylor helped the Cowboys' offense produce two first-team All-Americans in wide receiver Dez Bryant and running back Kendall Hunter. A Biletnikoff Award finalist, first-team All-Big 12 selection and academic all-conference member, Bryant led the Big 12 in receiving and was third nationally.
With Taylor working as co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach, the Cowboys played in the 2008 Holiday Bowl and ranked sixth in the nation in total offense (487.7 ypg), eighth in rushing offense (245.46 ypg), ninth in scoring offense (40.7 ppg) and 38th in passing offense (242.23 ypg).
Prior to OSU, Taylor served as Tennessee's assistant head coach from 2004-07, coaching wide receivers his last two seasons after serving as the running backs coach from 2004-05. While a member of the Tennessee staff, he helped lead the Volunteers to the 2005 Cotton Bowl and 2007 and 2008 Outback Bowl. The Vols posted a pair of 10-win seasons, claimed 34 total victories and finished ranked among the top-25 teams in the nation three times during Taylor's time with the program.
His first season as running backs coach, Tennessee ranked 24th in the nation in rushing yards (186.0 ypg) with Gerald Riggs Jr. leading the team individually with 85.2 yards per game to rank 47th in the country. Riggs and fellow running back Cedric Houston became UT's first pair of 1,000-yard rushers in the same season in 2004. His second season, he tutored now NFL All-Pro running back Arian Foster.
Following his move wide receivers coach, the Volunteers ranked 12th in the nation in passing yards with 264.5 yards per game in 2006. Under Taylor's direction, Robert Meachem was a first-round NFL draft pick after ranking fourth in the nation in receiving yards (99.9 ypg) to earn All-America recognition. The 2007 Tennessee team ranked No. 35 in the nation in passing yards (262.5 ypg), while Lucas Taylor ranked among the top 44 players in the NCAA FBS in both receptions and receiving yards.
Taylor went to Knoxville after coaching receivers at Tulane from 1999-2003. He coached four wideouts into the NFL during his tenure in New Orleans, including Adrian Burnette, Kerwin Cook and Terrell Harris. The fourth future NFL player under his tutelage at Tulane was Roydell Williams, who went on to set school and Conference USA career records for touchdown catches with 35.
Prior to Tulane, he was the running backs coach at New Mexico in 1998 after a five year stint on the coaching staff at Baylor, his alma mater. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach at Baylor in 1992, then spent the 1994-97 seasons as the Bears' wide receivers coach (1994, 1997) and secondary coach (1995-96). He helped lead Baylor to the Alamo Bowl in 1994.
Taylor played defensive back at Baylor from 1988-91 and finished his playing career as the school's leader in kickoff returns (53) and return yardage (1,063), while also helping the Bears to the Copper Bowl his senior campaign. He earned his bachelor's degree in communications from Baylor University in 1992.
The Cuero, Texas, native is married to the former Evi Crosby of Harbor City, Calif. He and his wife, who was a track and field scholarship student-athlete at Baylor, have one daughter, Starr, and a son, Blaise.

Genomic constitution
There are several genomes present in Aegilops: B, C, D, M, N, U, X, and Z.
Distinguishing features
Plants annual. Inflorescences cylindrical, moniliform, or ovoid, with 2-10(12) spikelets, at least the distal spikelets with either or both the glumes and lemmas awned. Disarticulating in the rachis, sometimes the whole inflorescence falling, at each node, the spikelets usually falling with the internode above the node attached, sometimes with the internode below. Glumes rounded on the back, their tips toothed or awned.
Plants annual. Culms 14-80 cm tall, erect or geniculate at the base.
Leaf blades 1.5-10 mm wide, flat.
Inflorescence spikelike, cylindrical, moniliform, or ovoid, with 2-10(12) spikelets, usually with 2-3 rudimentary spikelets at the base, sometimes the distal spikelets sterile; disarticulation at the base of the inflorescence or in the rachis, at the internode below or above the spikelet.
Spikelets solitary at the nodes, sessile, tangential to the rachis, closely appressed to the concave surface of the internodes, half as long as to almost as long as the adjacent internode.
Glumes ovate to rectangular, coriaceous, rounded on the back, with several prominent veins. apices truncate, subentire, toothed, or awned. Lemmas thin, mostly hyaline but the distal portion coriaceous, rounded on the back, apices with 1-3 teeth or awns. Lodicules trullate to angular-ovate, the margins ciliate. Anthers 1.5-4 mm.
Caryopsis sometimes adhering to the palea
22 species
Geographic: Central and Mediterranean Europe, northern Africa, southern Ukraine, Crimea, the Caucasus, and western Asia. Some species have become established as weeds beyond this range.
Elevation: From -400 m to 2700 m.
Ecology: In somewhat disturbed habitats, both ruderal and segetal. Rarely dominant.
Miscellaneous comments
In all the polyploid species of Triticum, all but one of the genomes comes from Aegilops.
Alternative interpretations
Aegilops is sometimes, and justifiably, included with Amblyopyrum in Triticum. Several of its species hybridize with species of Triticum. Polyploid derivatives of such hybrids are included in Triticum. This is one of the arguments for merging the two genera into one which, in accordance with the Inernational Rules of Botanical Nomenclature, would be called Triticum. The strongest argument for keeping the two genera separate is tradition. Another argument is that they fill have different ecological niches. Species of Aegilops are weedy; species of Triticum are not.

The SenseAbility Gym will offer equipment and an experience specifically tailored to children with special needs. The co-founders of the gym, Tina Perriello and Alysia Butler, are parents of children with autism.
A new, parent-led gym devoted to serving special needs children will be opening its doors this week in an effort to remedy what its founders said is a lack of gym space available to such children.
The SenseAbility Gym, on Charlesview Road, will offer equipment and an experience specifically tailored to children with special needs. The co-founders of the gym, Tina Perriello and Alysia Butler, are parents of children with autism.
Perriello said response to the gym has been very warm so far with families eager to sign up for time.
"We set aside several blocks of time for kids to come in," she said. "Since we announced that, we've been inundated with calls, and we're fully booked for the week."
Butler said that interest has been driven by a lack of gym opportunities for special needs children.
"We have 80 to 100 kids signed up, and we have people coming from as far away as Boston and Rhode Island," she said. "People have said they've been basically stalking us on Facebook, waiting for us to open."
"It's exciting to hear that we're filling the needs of the community."
Perriello said she hopes the effort will be helpful to local children and parents.
"For parents of children with special needs, taking them to a regular playground can be challenging and stressful," she said. "Here, the kids can be themselves."
The gym offers many pieces of equipment for children to play with, Butler said.
"We have two swings (which are therapeutic swings), safety mats, a ball pit, slide ramps and blocks," she said. "Thanks to a grant from the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation, we'll soon have more small mats and perhaps a small trampoline."
That grant, for $5,000, was announced in mid-January.
Beyond equipment, the gym features a room where children can do their homework and a "quiet room," which Butler said is her favorite.
"The kids need a 'chill-out' area," she said. "We have a bubble tube, weighted blankets and something that's like a big bean bag, but better."
Butler said community support, especially from area residents Harold and Marcia Rhodes, the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation and the Rockland Trust Bank, has been vital to bringing the gym to this point.
"We've been overwhelmed," she said.

Skip to comments.Normalizing Pedophilia
Posted on 01/05/2013 2:00:50 PM PST by Behind Liberal Lines
Decadence is on the march! And now, a defense of pedophilia as just another "sexual orientation" has been published in the mainstream left wing UK newspaper The Guardian. From, "Paedophilia: Bringing Dark Desires Into the Light:"
Paedophiles may be wired differently. This is radical stuff. But there is a growing conviction, notably in Canada, that paedophilia should probably be classified as a distinct sexual orientation, like heterosexuality or homosexuality. Two eminent researchers testified to that effect to a Canadian parliamentary commission last year, and the Harvard Mental Health Letter of July 2010 stated baldly that paedophilia "is a sexual orientation" and therefore "unlikely to change".
This isn't news. We already know that those who abuse children sexually are always dangerous. That is why they must register with the police when released from prison.
Understanding causes is one thing–I'm all for it–but the effort is definitely underway to normalize the behavior:
The reclassification of paedophilia as a sexual orientation would, however, play into what Goode calls "the sexual liberation discourse", which has existed since the 1970s. "There are a lot of people," she says, "who say: we outlawed homosexuality, and we were wrong. Perhaps we're wrong about paedophilia."
Social perceptions do change. Child brides were once the norm; in the late 16th century the age of consent in England was 10. More recently, campaigning organisations of the 70s and 80s such as the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) and Paedophile Action for Liberation were active members of the NCCL when it made its parliamentary submission questioning the lasting damage caused by consensual paedophilic relations… A Dutch study published in 1987 found that a sample of boys in paedophilic relationships felt positively about them. And a major if still controversial 1998-2000 meta-study suggests – as J Michael Bailey of Northwestern University, Chicago, says – that such relationships, entered into voluntarily, are "nearly uncorrelated with undesirable outcomes".
The idea, apparently, is to embrace pedophilia as a normal part of the human condition so that we can help those with the "orientation" refrain:
For Goode, though, broader, societal change is needed. "Adult sexual attraction to children is part of the continuum of human sexuality; it's not something we can eliminate," she says. "If we can talk about this rationally – acknowledge that yes, men do get sexually attracted to children, but no, they don't have to act on it – we can maybe avoid the hysteria. We won't label paedophiles monsters; it won't be taboo to see and name what is happening in front of us."
We can help keep children safe, Goode argues, "by allowing paedophiles to be ordinary members of society, with moral standards like everyone else", and by "respecting and valuing those paedophiles who choose self-restraint". Only then will men tempted to abuse children "be able to be honest about their feelings, and perhaps find people around them who could support them and challenge their behaviour before children get harmed".
I am sorry, pedophiles can already get help in controlling their urges before they ruin a child's life–and certainly, many do. Good on them. But turning the abhorrent and pathological into the somehow acceptable will not protect children. Quite the contrary.
Think about it: If the desire for sexual congress with children is just "another orientation"–an odious comparison, in my view–and if some children supposedly "like it" when they voluntarily engage in sex with adults–and indeed, if it doesn't actually hurt them–how long would the absolute rejection of cross-generation congress last? Not very. It wouldn't be long until we saw the absolute prohibition on pedophilic sex downgraded to a mere "taboo," which, as the last fifty years teach us, are made to be broken. NAMBLA members must be grinning ear-to-ear.
I call this kind of discussion, "terminal nonjudgmentalism," because it is designed to move us from viewing pedophilia as absolutely unacceptable, to an issue that is debatable and should be "discussed," toward the final goal of acceptability.
No "conversation!" No debate! Having sexual relations with children treats them as mere objects, a good definition of evil. If this view ever enters the mainstream–and that seems closer–we are on the road to cultural death.
How many years before we see pedophilia rights as a plank in the democrat party platform?
The majority of child molestation involves a male perpetrator and a female victim.
To the deranged perverts this is simply a "P" to add to the GLBTP alliance. They have been obsessed with other people's kids since Sodom was a kingdom.
As an aside the sodomites are not wise by claiming "they are wired" to be sodomites. If and when the healthy part of society wakes up the latter will be justified in concluding that the only way to effectively suppress the use of children for sexual gratification will be to kill the sodomites.

No way would I permit a perv to molest my kid, no matter what the liberals make normal. He'd be sooo dead....
If this is forced on society, there will be a lot of dead liberals.
FWIW, I prosecuted hundreds of pedophile cases. It is rarely about the sex and is a definitive "mental illness". Of the cases I prosecuted I'd say 90% were family members and about 90% were heterosexual. Again ... fwiw.
A great deal of male homo paedo rape goes unreported due to the stigma upon male victims. Look at the many priest paedophile scandals that never emerged until the victims were adults.
Yes, and no doubt one of the big stigmas is saying that the victim of such an assault is now gay, is going to be gay, etc.
Much more women than men are victims of sexual assault as a child, anonymous survey or criminal records. The vast majority of perpetrators are male.
Some People Just Need Killing.
He shouldn't die by someone's hand in prison. He should be taken to a swamp, shot in the head and dumped in the water.
Let the gators and critters do the rest.
Depending on where the ammo is purchased, that's about a .20 solution.
It is more like 80%. Not only that -—but just emotional abuse can also destroy the normal sexual development of children.
All the priests who were molesting boys, stated they were molested when they were boys. The homosexual element in the Catholic Church was completely covered up—to protect the abnormal, dehumanizing, godless behavior and cover-up the infiltration of the church by Leftists (modernists). APA promotes sodomy as "normal" since the 70's and schools are normalizing homosexual behavior by forcing young children into taking "Pride" in the dehumanizing, unnatural, evil behavior—to kill the Judeo-Christian God in minds of children.
Chastity Bono was molested by a Lesbian when she was about 11—and later when she told her mother, she replied it was "good" for her. This violation of one's body in such a warped way by trusted adults will absolutely warp and pervert how you think about "sex" and yourself and others.
The founder of America's Homosexual movement, Harry Hay, was a Communist and was sodomized when he was a boy (and he loved it). You can make any boy "enjoy" perversion if you can get control of their development. They are teaching children to masturbate in schools, and there is no good and evil, now (only evil and bigoted to be(of evil) )—to flip Christian Ethics and insert Satanic, Freemason immorality.
Everyone should have to read "Leftism" by Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn: He explains everything about all the intrinsic evil of leftist ideology including sodomy. Here is what he states about homosexuality (which is a learned behavior, worldview)—like in Afghanistan—Samurai. There is no such thing as a homosexual gene.
"Whoever praises and extols a collective unit in which he participates (a nation, a race, a class, a party) only take a stand for sameness and oppose otherness, but also are self-seeking. There is an identitarian (and nonsexual) aspect to homosexuality ("homoeroticism") coupled with the refusal to establish the sometimes difficult intellectual, spiritual, psychological bridge to the other sex. And to this respect homosexuality is a form of narcissism, of immaturity and implies the limitations of the "simpleton".
The perversion is a taught behavior.
Could be but then who taught the first one?
Can't really argue with this, IMO.
It is perfectly obvious, at least to me, that someone is not inherently evil because of his desires or inclinations. We are seldom fully, if at all, in control of those.
He becomes evil because of his actions. Thus a man can be sexually attracted to children, but if he doesn't act on those desires he should not be considered evil. In fact, I think his self-restraint, in a society that denigrates such, should be considered admirable.
However, we won't get into what I consider appropriate treatment for those who molest kids. It would get me banned.
By taught I mean its not genetic.
This is what I remembered like 20 years ago in Indiana. Some people in the state legislature wanted to pass a hate crimes law which included sexual orientation. At the time, one of my arguments against it was the slippery slope of it only applying to homosexuality today (1993) but how long before man/boy sex was going to be recognized as a sexual orientation. It would be at the point where I find a man sexually abusing a child and I beat the crap out of him and I get charged with a hate crime. Sounded far fetched then but not so much today.
Meanwhile our schools are giving them condoms and routes to abortion clinics at 11 years old and telling them its perfectly normal to sleep around at that age.

Don't get me wrong, its looks like a really nice camera with a lot of advances.
But for a camera with that price tag ($3299) It's looks odd that there are some important features(at list to me) that aren't there but they are in my 'entry level' camera that cost 1/4 of the D5.
I am glad you understand this, lots of people want the newer camera only because it is the new kid on the block, and usually those people don't pay attention to what they need. If the features that are important to you are in an entry level camera, you should by all means get that!
To me, the most important features are the autofocus, build quality or ergonomics (I do a lot of topside too), image quality (color) and resolution, in this order. My personal opinion is that the D2x is better than the 5D in all (don't know about image quality yet) of those features except for resolution (but that's only in paper, I don't know how much of a difference you would see between 12.4 and 12.8 megapixels). Since they have very similar resolution, I think the difference between the D2x and 5D is equivalent to the difference between the film Nikons F5 and F90 (both have the same res. film), so, even with the price difference I would still get the D2x if I was buying today. Now, if Nikon didn't have the 10.5 fisheye I would think twice about the Canon.

Homeowners Fighting Back
Occupy Our Homes Victories
October 16, 2012
Homeowners, renters, and the homeless joined forces to fight the banks and reclaim our communities. All over the country, we declared that housing is a human right. We came together, occupying our homes to prevent eviction, disrupting foreclosure auctions, restoring vacant homes to community use, and protesting the banks that caused this mess in the first place. And we showed time and again that when people fought for their homes, they could win.
Here is a partial list of some of the victories of the Occupy Our Homes movement over the last year.
Atlanta: Cobb County Home Owner Stands Up To Wells Fargo
July 01, 2012
Occupy Our Homes Atlanta is working with a Cobb County homeowner named Steve Boudreaux to help him get Wells Fargo to allow him to stay in his home. American Friends Service Committee/Atlanta has an update on their blog:
After battling unemployment and struggling to make payments on his mortgage, Cobb County resident Steve Boudreaux did what any diligent homeowner would do--he applied for an emergency home loan modification to stay in his home at a rate he could afford. Everything was all set to move forward until the IRS delayed in getting tax transcripts to his bank, Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo, rather than wait for the transcripts to come in, pushed forward with a foreclosure sale, even though the modification application was incomplete due to no fault of Steve's own. To add insult to injury, the transcripts were delivered the day after the foreclosure sale.
Today Steve was joined by Occupy Our Homes ATL and Cobb United for Change at the Wells Fargo branch that Steve originally applied and received his home lone with one simple message, "You have all the information you need! Make a deal to keep Steve in his home!"
Cobb United for Change and Occupy Our Homes are ready to stand up with Steve to keep him in his home. Will you?
You can help Steve and call Luis Fortin of the Wells Fargo "Home Preservation" Team and demand he work to keep Steve in his home.
To reach Mr. Fortin call 877-458-8418. Once connected dial 0 until you are asked for an extension. Luis is ext. 31560.
Make sure to tell him that "Wells Fargo needs to work with Steve Boudreaux at 1525 Rubes Landing in Marietta. Set aside the foreclosure and make a deal to keep Steve in his home!"
AZ: Save Lilly Washington's Home
June 28, 2012
Arizona Mother and Homeowner Lilly Washington returned home from visiting her injured son in a US Military Hospital in Germany, to find that despite written confirmation from Bank of America that they would suspend their foreclosure proceedings until she returned, the bank illegally sold her home to Fannie Mae in a trustee's sale. Fannie Mae then changed the locks, and sent all of her belongings, including her son's Purple Heart medal from his service in Iraq, to the city dump.
Despite this crushing setback, Lilly refused to give up. She moved back in and won a stay of eviction that granted the right to legally stay in her home as a renter. Now Lilly is fighting to recover ownership of her home and demand justice from Bank of America and Fannie Mae. And she needs your help.» More
DC: Protect a Paramedic's Home! Stop Chase!
May 30, 2012
For 23 years, Deborah Harris had the back of everyone in our nation's Capitol. As a paramedic, or first responder as they are also known, she went to work everyday prepared to save anyone's life.
She was injured on the job, causing her to lose wages and fall behind on her mortgage.
While she earned the right for everyone to have her back, three banks have pushed Deborah into foreclosure.» More
Rochester, NY: Facing Foreclosure, Leonard Spears Pledges to Stay in His Home
May 07, 2012
Leonard Spears and Take Back the Land Rochester are calling on the community to protest Wells Fargo and Freddie Mac's move displace Leonard from his home at 26 Ries St., Rochester, NY 14611. Despite 10-12 attempts at a mortgage modification, Wells Fargo refused to negotiate with Leonard and instead asked him to continually resubmit the same paperwork. In order to take his home as quickly as possible Wells Fargo never served Leonard the Summons and Complaint for the foreclosure action, denying him proper recourse to defend his home in court. Instead Wells Fargo fabricated the paperwork saying they served Leonard and claiming he was up to 6 feet tall with black, brown, and blond hair! Unfortunately for Wells Fargo, Leonard is about 5'6'', bald and has never had blond or brown hair. In a further stroke of fraud, lawyers for Wells Fargo reveal that their client didn't own the mortgage or note when they foreclosed on Leonard Spears giving them zero legal standing to foreclose in the first place. To add insult to injury, when Wells Fargo foreclosed on Mr. Spears, they sold his house to Freddie Mac for $500. Now Freddie Mac is trying to evict Leonard and gave him 90 days to vacate on March 30, 2012. We demand that Freddie Mac withdraw the eviction and that Wells Fargo withdraw the foreclosure and work out a reasonable settlement with Leonard.» More
Minneapolis: Take Action to Save John Vinje's Home!
April 05, 2012
John Vinje and Lucinda Adams-Vinje bought their home in 2008 for 148,000. Their payment was roughly $1,300 per month on a 30 yr fixed term. It was the 1st home that either of them had ever purchased. John had been an Air Force pilot during the Vietnam war before working for many years as a security officer. Lucinda had a well established 10 year career as a TSA agent at the Minneapolis airport. Lucinda chose the home because she had grown up in the South Metro area and her work is nearby. She also happens to love the house. John says "I'm not sure why, she just loves it."
If they do nothing they will lose their home in April of 2012. This Air Force veteran and his wife have worked their entire adult life and now stand to lose the only home that either has ever owned.
What US Bank doesn't realize is that John and his wife are fighters. They, along with a growing number of Minnesota homeowners, have taken a pledge to stand with their community and fight for their home.
PLEASE CALL U.S. Bank Sr. Vice President Tom Joyce TODAY: 612-303-3167. Tell U.S. Bank to postpone John Vinje's sheriff's sale and come to the table with a reasonable modification offer that will allow he and his family can stay in their home.
Pompano Beach, FL: The Delvas are fighting eviction
April 03, 2012
Amos and Claudine Delva bought their home on a quiet little street in Pompano Beach, Florida approximately 15 years ago. They signed the mortgage and note with IndyMac Federal Bank, FSB. In 2008, when the construction industry crashed, Mr. Delva, a construction worker, sensing that he might be in trouble if the downslide in the industry continued began actively working with IndyMac to modify his loan. Soon thereafter IndyMac Federal Bank, FSB filed its foreclosure Complaint, January 3, 2009.
The Delva's are asking and what they have always asked for, is that IndyMac Federal Bank, FSB return the funds to the investment company, ILN Management, LLC and renegotiate the loan. Help us keep this family in their home by delivering this message:
"We, Amos and Claudine's neighbors, friends, citizens of Broward County and the state of Florida demand that Amos and Claudine Delva of 270 NE 27th Street, Pompano Beach, FL (Broward County Case # CACE 09-000519 (05) be granted the right to stay in their home, the Summary Judgment be vacated, that the title be returned to the Delvas and for IndyMac to return the funds to the investor and to renegotiate the loan in good faith!"
San Francisco: Dexter Cato vs Wells Fargo
March 27, 2012
Dexter has lived in the Bayview-Hunter's Point community in San Francisco his whole life and has watched the foreclosure crisis devastate his neighborhood. While mourning his wife's death and struggling with only one income, he worked to get a loan modification. Instead, Wells Fargo gave him lost paperwork, contradictory answers, or simply ignored his phone calls altogether. And then they wrongfully foreclosed, evicting Dexter and his four kids.
So last week, with the support of his neighbors, his longshoreman union brothers and sisters (ILWU Locals 6. 10 and 91), SEIU Local 1021 and a large group of supporters, he reoccupied his home and announced that if Wells Fargo comes, he won't go. Standing in solidarity with him were Monica Kenney, an Excelsior homeowner to whom Wells Fargo offered a forbearance agreement and then sold her home the very next day. and Archbishop Franzo King, a Bayview community leader who was fraudulently qualified for an unaffordable pick-a-pay loan and is now fighting the sale of his home. They were also joined by the rest of the Wells Fargo 8: Maria Villareal, Donna and Nuno Vieira, Victor Granada, Ernesto Viscarpa, and Alberto Del Rio.» More
San Francisco: Tell Bank of America: Negotiate with 75 year old Josephine Tolbert
March 14, 2012
Josephine Tolbert has lived in her home in the city's Portola District since 1975, opening a daycare business there in 1995. After running into financial trouble a few years ago, Tolbert was sued and her daycare temporarily shut down. When she fell behind on her payments, Bank of America sold Tolbert's home in a short sale to real estate company True Compass, who evicted the 75-year-old great-grandmother two weeks ago. The company changed the locks on the house while Tolbert was out. But Josephine, with the support of her neighbors stood up and fought back and got True Compass to back off from this eviction attempt.
Now Josephine is calling upon Bank of America to give her a permanent modification. You can help. Call Bank of America official Monica Lozano, and tell her to negotiate with Josephine.
Call Bank of America official Monica Lozano at 866-214-2430 and tell her (politely) that you are making an emergency call about Josephine Tolbert. Ask her to do the right thing and negotiate a permanent modification that will allow Josephine to stay in her home
If you get a voicemail leave a message.

Ms. Bertina Jones & Occupy DC are fighting to stop her eviction
February 20, 2012
MEET BERTINA: A familiar story to millions of Americans, Bank of America used the financial crisis to take advantage of Bertina Jones. Bertina did everything right. Like millions of Americans, she fell behind on her mortgage after losing her job in wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Hoping to take responsibility for missed payments, she met with Bank of America to renegotiate her mortgage, and was offered a modification in January of 2009. She kept making payments, and while the bank acknowledged it had received her money, it told her that her paperwork was lost. In the Summer of 2010, she was informed that the modification was off the table, and in September, Bank of America sold her mortgage to Freddie Mac which continued with foreclosure.» More
Fred Shrum & Occupy Detroit stand up to Wells Fargo
February 15, 2012
Fred Shrum bought his house in 2007 and began working on it. "I had hoped to lay down some roots and become part of this community," he said. "I've been fixing up the house since then, installing new windows and insulation. I think I've put about $20,000 into it in renovations, altogether."
Shrum isn't ready to let go. As he said at the press conference, he and his family are prepared to stay in the house as an act of civil disobedience and in protest of how bailed-out banks treat U.S. homeowners. With the help of Occupy Our Homes and groups including Occupy Detroit, People Before Banks, Moratorium Now, and UAW Local 600, they will fight the eviction.
"I don't expect anyone to give me the house," Shrum said. "I just want to be treated fairly. I want Wells Fargo to come back to the table and see if we can find an arrangement that works in both our interests."
Riverside, CA: Stop the eviction of Arturo de los Santos
February 07, 2012
ACCE is calling for action to help Arturo de los Santos and his family.
Arturo de los Santos has lived in his Riverside, CA with his wife and four children for over ten years. When the economic crisis hit in 2008, the factory he works at reduced his hours. Like millions of hardworking Americans, the reduced income forced him to pursue a modification in his mortgage, which is owned by Freddie Mac. The mortgage servicer, JP Morgan Chase, informed de los Santos that in order to negotiate a loan modification he had to be in default on his loan. De los Santos was caught in the Catch-22 that proved to be profitable for Freddie Mac but devastating for his family.» More
Occupy Glen Iris: Chase Bank vs the Pittman Family
January 26, 2012
On Friday January 27 at 3:30pm Occupy Atlanta will rally at 404 Glen Iris and march side by side with the Pittman family to Chase Bank where we will demand the deed to the home that is rightfully theirs, letting the bank know we refuse to work with them on their terms. Occupy Atlanta is one of many Occupy groups participating in this nationwide struggle against JPMorgan Chase, a corporation that treats the general public as no more than means to the ends of profit. Like many hardworking individuals across the nation, the late Ms. Eloise Pittman was victimized by predatory lending. The Pittman family has been fighting to save the family home since November 2011. This past week Chase gave the Pittman family an ultimatum: either buy back their home or accept the $2500 "cash for keys" offer. Occupy Atlanta will be escalating the campaign against these predatory banks beginning Friday. Friday's action promises to be bold, diverse and unlike anything Occupy Atlanta has done yet. Pastors from multiple Churches will participate in the march and hold a prayer service outside the bank, while others with OA enact creative direct action.» More

Occupy Birmingham: Help the Ward Family Save Their Home
January 06, 2012
UPDATE (5-29-2012): The Ward family won! With the help of Occupy Birmingham and activists around the country, the Wards forced Bank of America to the table and negotiated a deal that will let them keep their house. Learn about it here.
UPDATE (1-17-2012): As a result of the hard work and participation of people like you, we have been successful in opening communication with Bank of America. The Wards received a phone call from Bank of America corporate offices, and they have moved the foreclosure sale date to March 29, 2012. Communication lines are open, and this is a first step toward potential negotiations. As a direct result of your participation, YOU have given the Wards a voice in standing up to Bank of America's wrongful foreclosure.
This is not the end. We demand that Bank of America commit to a negotiation where the Wards gain ownership of the home that is rightfully theirs.
Occupy Birmingham is taking a stand against Bank of America by moving into local communities to help those under the threat of wrongful foreclosure. Our first "Occupy Our Homes" action is on the behalf of the Ward family. Due to a real estate agent's fraud, the Wards are on the brink of losing their home even though they've NEVER MISSED A SINGLE PAYMENT. While they have the ability to continue paying their mortgage, Bank of America refuses to allow them to keep their home (which they've already paid over 35,000 dollars on) after a real estate company pocketed 2 years of payments made on the property. Rather than allow the family to pay on the home, the bank prefers to lose money and offer it up for auction on January 12 January 26. Not only will this cost the Wards' their home, but the entire neighborhood is devalued by rising number of foreclosures.» More

Southgate, MI: Help the Henrys occupy their home
December 10, 2011
Debbie Henry tells the story of what she and her husband Robert are facing with their foreclosure and why they are occupying their home:
"Our home was our future, and we thought that we'd invested wisely. We were making our payments, even though now it's worth a third of what we paid for it. But after I had my stroke, we just couldn't keep up. We tried to work with the banks to get a fair deal, but they gave us the run-around for years. Now they want to throw us out. I thought they got all this taxpayer money so that families like us could have a second chance," said Debbie, a former manager at a food services company.

And I hope that they will change their policies to stop taking the homes the thousands of hardworking families facing preventable foreclosure. Thank you."

Whitney Houston's Family Tried Having an Intervention for Bobbi Kristina
Whitney Houston's family is so worried about daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown's health that they attempted to stage an intervention. Did it work?
Unfortunately, not quite. Radar Online reports that the 19-year-old hasn't stopped drinking, smoking marijuana or popping pills since her mother's tragic death in February. "Everyone is worried sick about Krissy … Her aunt Pat got a number of her friends and family to come to Atlanta and have a serious talk with her about her sobriety," a source said. "There were lots of tears, but Bobbi Kristina didn't listen."
Houston's family reportedly even tried turning to Houston's mentor, Clive Davis, for assistance. Davis allegedly offered Bobbi Kristina a career launch on the promise that she'd come clean and go to rehab.
Bobbi Kristina was hospitalized twice immediately following Houston's death, once for stress and once for mixing alcohol with prescription sedatives. There were also reports that Bobbi Kristina got high immediately after Houston's funeral.
On a bright note, Bobbi Kristina has been cast in Tyler Perry's new sitcom, 'For Better or Worse,' and seems to be happy in her relationship with her (unofficially) adopted brother. We wish her the best.

Sharing CAD and other design-related data across a network of dispersed suppliers has always been a major burden for OEMs, despite the promises of increased collaboration through product lifecycle management (PLM) platforms. In recognition of that still-acute pain point within its traditional customer base, Siemens PLM Software is offering a way to facilitate the exchange of CAD design data between OEMs and their suppliers that don't run the Teamcenter PLM platform.
The new Briefcase Browser builds on the PLM platform's Briefcase functionality and opens it up to suppliers that don't have access to the main system. The idea behind the Briefcase is to package all the information required to complete a task: the CAD design data (in this case, Siemens' NX or JT file formats) and related documents providing the 3D CAD data and related meta data, which could include specific properties, descriptions, and other forms of context.
Teamcenter users already could exchange such packages, but they previously could not be offered to suppliers that were not part of the core PLM platform, according to Kerri Doyle, Siemens PLM Software's product marketing manager of supplier integration for Teamcenter.
Doyle told us that between 70 and 90 percent of suppliers still collaborate with OEMs using asynchronous methods. That staggering statistic highlights the need for a solution like Briefcase Browser, which can facilitate data exchange by providing a more efficient means of sharing design data among a distended supplier network. "This provides an efficient way for OEMs to package up their data for export and share it with suppliers."
Briefcase Browser, which Siemens officials call a low-overhead, low-installation tool, is more than a lightweight viewing package. In addition to packaging additional content like part structures, specifications, and properties, the tool brings automation to the mix. It simplifies the import and export process and reduces the administrative overhead for OEMs, which no longer need to dedicate bodies to overseeing CAD file data exchange.
"In the package, along with the design, there is a fully described exchange," Dale Peterson, Siemens PLM Software's product manager for supplier integration, told us. As a result, suppliers understand exactly what they need to do, and all the relevant information is available to them in an easily consumable format.
The need to streamline supplier collaboration has been one of the main areas of focus for new PLM alternatives. We've reported previously on platforms like Kenesto, Vuuch, and Sunglass, which are leveraging new paradigms to address the longstanding challenges of getting an extended supply chain to collaborate on designs using the most up-to-date information and streamlined processes.
"This is our way of addressing some of these concerns," Peterson said.
