Meet the Cook: When I was a girl, I daydreamed about being the best wife, mother and homemaker. But it wasn't until a few years ago that I started entering our county fair. Since then, Orange Chiffon Cake has been awarded several blue ribbons. I'm fortunate to have a thin husband - he can be my taste-tester and never get full! We've kept our country ways all 53 years of our marriage. We're the parents of three, and have eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. -Marjorie Ebert, Conewango Valley, New York

Continuing the tradition of the only race and walk in Western New York dedicated to mental health awareness, Compeer of Greater Buffalo joins forces with the Mental Health Association of Erie County to host the Road 2 Recovery 5K Mental Health Run and Wellness Walk – A Superhero Run! at St. George's Church and Delaware Park on Friday, June 28, 2013 at 6:30 p.m.
Through a partnership with the CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) program at the Mental Health Association of Erie County and The Superhero Foundation, this year's event will be a "Superhero Race." Organizers encourage all participants to dress up in their favorite Superhero costumes to help raise awareness for the program, which helps abused children have their voice in court and in the community. The Superhero Run calls attention to the idea that while every child needs a hero, abused children need Superheroes.
A signing event for "Most Likely to Survive," a recently released book detailing West Seneca resident Matthew Faulkner's miraculous recovery from traumatic brain injury, will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, June 20, at the Impact Artists Gallery, Tri-Main Building, Suite 545, 2495 Main St., Buffalo. The event is part of the Fine Art Healing & Health Exhibit which runs through June 29.
Written by West Seneca native Joe Kirchmyer and Faulkner, the book details Faulkner's automobile accident on March 2, 2009, that left him in a deep coma for two months with almost no chance of survival. Against all odds, he would walk out of ECMC 103 days later and across the stage at high school graduation just two weeks after that. Faulkner graduated, on time, from Canisius College in May of this year.
If you think sunglasses are simply a fashion accessory, you'd better think again. While it's true that they may make you look better, they are actually making you feel better as well by protecting your eyes from harmful rays and thereby helping to save your eyesight.
While your skin typically recovers from sunburn, damage from the sun's rays to the eyes can be permanent. According to numerous medical studies, UV-A and UV-B rays can penetrate the cornea and damage the eye's lens and retina, leading to an increased risk for cataracts and/or macular degeneration.
The Elmwood-Bidwell Farmers Market, a popular Western New York tradition featuring nearly 40 vendors selling fresh, seasonal and local produce and products, is open for the 2013 season! Hours at the open-air market, a program of the Elmwood Village Association, are 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday, rain or shine.
As part of a statewide recognition highlighting the work of organizations that are successfully addressing children's mental health, South Buffalo Promise Zone (SBPZ), part of Catholic Charities Closing the Gap (CTG) partnership, was honored earlier this month during "What's Great in Our State: A Forum to Celebrate Children's Mental Health" presented by the New York State Office of Mental Health.Susan Seawood, SBPZ coordinator, and Cheri Alvarez, CTG coordinator, traveled to Albany to accept the award for having a "positive impact on children, youth and families." The local program was one of just seven programs in the state honored at the annual event.
Social workers, advocate representatives, batterer program staff, and judiciary and domestic violence court personnel are urged to attend the National Training Institute on the New York Model for Batterer Programs, "Domestic Violence Offender Accountability ~ What, Why and How to Get it Done" set for June 20-21 from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the Orchard Park Presbyterian Church, 4369 S.

First I'm sorry you are going through this. Second it is a great learning opportunity! How old are you & your bf? Did he not get the partying out of his system when he was younger, is it immaturity for a young age or is he trying to re-live those years? Do you have children or a child, it didn't appear to be so. You've had a long relationship, I think communication is ALWAYS key to any success in any avenue in life. You need to ask him what is his long term goal? How does this new life style fit in? Would he be amicable to cutting back or including you, are you even interested in this type of life style? A lot of ?s only he can answer, but better now then after your married or having children & your left alone to raise or with a drunk or partier who needs his priorities straightened out.
Be brave & courageous. Have that conversation that makes you both feel empowered to take your own way in life. Either he will man up or party down, but please don't settle or let it go to far. Address the issue, voice your concerns & make a firm decision. Not coming home, taking unplanned trips etc is immature behavior, which you are TOTALLY justified in stated that behavior for any man in a committed relationship, is not acceptable and should not be tolerated.
Good luck, this will make you a better woman & him a better man!
Allisonpaige0901:So I should begin this by saying that my boyfriend is not a terrible person & for almost 5 years, he has been an unbelievable support & amazing to me. With that said, I do not know what to do now. About a year ago, we started hanging out with friends from his work. He is a firefighter. We partied with them & got to know them. They are a totally different kind of crowd than we are used but we figured hey why not? Well, lately my boyfriend has taken partying to a whole different level. Not coming home or coming home extremely intoxicated & late. Well this past Monday he hit his ultimate rock bottom. He was out with his friends & around 8pm I get a text saying "Key West". Mind you, we live in Florida & Key West is about 6 hours away. I thought he was kidding but nope, he up & went. I was devastated. He came home yesterday evening & we had it out. I told him he has to change. His answer, he doesn't know if he wants to. He means the world to me & acknowledged that what he had done was reckless & stupid, apologized. But now, I'm not sure what to do. Any advice?
Bolded/underlined is your que to leave. Sorry you have to deal with this..
He isn't into you or being in a relationship. Break up with him and figure out why you are willing to put up with this. To be honest, my H and I have partied, we are no longer friends with those we partied with. We are in our thirties and ALL of those friends are still doing the same things we used to. Some people just don't want to give it up or stop.
Also, by saying you are all I've ever known, he means I'm out with my friends having a great time and cheating on you.
The bolded concerns me. The public is relying on his health and abilities as a public servant. Maybe this behavior isn't safe for the citizens.
Golden42:To me, "you're all I know" means "I am not really in love with you but I'm scared of change so I'm just staying with you out of fear. This guy does not settle down with you.
You need to do some real soul searching. And be careful of over romanticizing this (If we can over come this, we'll be stronger for it). Sure, maybe that will be the outcome. Or neither of you pulls the cord and you try to force a square peg into a round hole and you stay in a relationship that isn't quite working but no one wants to admit it.

Trader Joe's should move to the abandoned Vedda Building on Detroit Avenue.
That's according to Lakewood Patch readers who voted in our poll that the grocery store chain should move into the space.
We recently asked Lakewood Patch readers what should move into the vacant space next to the Virginia Mart College of Art and Design.
The nominations — and then the votes — rolled in.
Trader Joe's took in 32 percent of the vote, but closely followed by a suggestion to convert the building into artist studios/apartments.
The Vedda Building — once the home of Phil Vedda and Sons Printing — has been abandoned since the company vacated the property in the late 1990s.
The building was most recently the home of Barack Obama's 2008 campaign outpost in Lakewood.
There have been reports that neighboring Virginia Marti College of Art and Design, but no deal was ever reached.

Isn't Trader Joe's owned by an evil corporation? Or is that okay because it doesn't attract poor people?

I cannot tell what corner this is on...can anyone help me place this? I have a business I am trying to relocate....thanks!

Theresa, it's the northwest corner of Hird and Detroit avenues.
8:39 am on Saturday, June 30, 2012
Wait - that's already an abandoned Trader Joe's building? huh?
Darlene Hood
8:49 am on Saturday, June 30, 2012
Trader Joe's is a great idea. But the old Giant Eagle building would be a nicer spot-good size for a Trader Joe's. Aren't all large corporations evil?
3:17 pm on Thursday, September 6, 2012
Well said. Yes, the GE building is a good idea Darlene. Parking would be MUCH better! It would be good to have a TJ in Lakewood! It certainly would be more convenient for those of us who might not want to go 'all the way' out to Crocker just to pick up dinner ingredients. It should be very prosperous for them. It is far enough away from Earth Fair in Westgate too, the competition would be good for both of those stores' business. I suppose it could push pretty hard on the raw foods store on Clifton, but that would make them work even harder, some decent advertising would help them out. In my opinion there would/should be a good market for T.J. in Lakewood!
8:55 am on Saturday, June 30, 2012
I know a few.things about real estate...poor location, not enough parking. The old Fairchild lot is a better location than Vedda's. Better access, parking, visibility. It is owned by the same parent company that owns Aldi's. It is not evil in that it brings much needed commerce and jobs to the EAST SIDE of Lakewood and continues to drive out troublemakers. Good lightening, active business, quality products. Good company moral.
Pat Ballasch
10:06 am on Saturday, June 30, 2012
Abandoned? The city decision makers helped Vedda Printers relocate to Berea Rd. They needed more space. A good point was made about lack of parking. The space itself doesn't look big enough for a Trader Joe's. Good parking is essential for the way we shop today. I think the old Rego's at Detroit & Bunts would be a better fit for a Trader Joe's.
Help us out next time you ask what we'd like. Give us information like Square footage, number of parking spaces, zoning, condition and any other important facts. Who knows, someone may have an idea that could actually be implemented.

I was joking about the evil part:). It seems that every time a reitail/restaurant corporation wants to move into Lakewood every one gets upset. I just found it funny that Trader Joe's would be acceptable but Family Dollar would draw outrage.
8:53 am on Sunday, July 1, 2012
"I just found it funny that Trader Joe's would be acceptable but Family Dollar would draw outrage."
That's because you don't understand what your opponents are saying. People like myself would like to keep Lakewood a decent place to live. Since Lakewood is a unique, we should try to retain some of its charm. It would be like buying a beautiful home full of history and ripping out all its charm and replacing it with cheap ugly crap.
High paying jobs are better than low paying jobs and this doesn't just apply to the rich. Poor people would like an opportunity to have good jobs. Trader Joe's employees get paid 40,000 to 60,000 a year with a 401k plan which is much better than what is paid at Family Dollar. Trader Joe's is also environmentally friendly while most products are made in the US. Family Dollar makes products that break after a short period of time which means people have to keep buying the same thing over and over again. Trader Joe's promotes community and have nice buildings while Family Dollar is an eye sore. In fact, if you support Family Dollar you hate the environment and poor people. See, two can play at this game.

the reality of business is if no one supports them, whether mom and pop shops or large corporations, they won't be able to stay in business. plain and simple. for all the focus on this website about supporting small mom and pop shops in lakewood, i don't see that happening that much. a lot of small business have closed their doors in lakewood in the last few years. blame it on the dreary economics everywhere, but talk to a few of these former owners and they will all tell you not enough local support was given. we can all say how much we want charming, small unique shops, but if not enough citizens of lakewood support them, they won't exist.
shopping local is unfortunately just often not the reality in lakewood!

Trader Joe's in Westlake does a huge business. Perhaps it's just because it's at Crocker Park and people are already there, but if that's not the case I think it would bring people into Lakewood and they might just see what else is around. That would be great, but I can already hear "Great, another Family Dollar Store"

Matthew, Given your concern you should know that Drug Mart's developer bought a residentially zoned apartment building on Grace with the intention of razing it to the ground and extending an asphalt parking lot up Grace. Why this should concern you is that they evicted all of the tenants of the building - most of them are on disability many of them are veterns and all of them are friends and neighbors. They did this because someone or something assured them that they would get approval for conditional use by the Planning Commision. The Mayor and The Director of Development should be ashamed of this and we should be outraged that these people were displaced from their homes for 15 extra parking spaces.
2:07 pm on Sunday, July 1, 2012
I absolutely hate how the City and the Director of Development are handling things. They truly do not care what people and the neighbors think or want, no matter what they tell us. They are allowing Lakewood to be populated by pharmacies and gas stations. Trader Joes would have been an excellent neighbor where they are now going to put a massive Get Go gas station. Yes, Get Go needs a new home but I think it should go at the bottom of Giant Eagle's parking lot (like Rocky River). Let Trader Joes go where the old Giant Eagles used to be -- but, hey, too much competition for Giant Eagles, I guess. I love Trader Joes. I go to Westlake to shop there. Bottom line, the City will do what it wants no matter what the neighbors want, sadly. They'll just provide the neighbors with a nice presentation of where we were, where we are and where we're going and politely let you know you have no choice in the matter. Unfortunately, things are a done deal before neighbors even know anything about it. I do like the new look of downtown Lakewood and I hope the "sharrows" go through but I do not like the fact that they do not stand up for what residents of Lakewood want. They have their own agenda, that is clear to me.
Evan Hammersmith
11:19 am on Monday, July 2, 2012
Renee, though this is no longer up for debate, you can't put a Get-Go at the bottom of the GE parking lot. Their lot is borderline too small as it is. the Get-Go will be perfectly situated where they have proposed on the corner. We need a Gas station in that area anyway. Since Trader Joes wants no part of Lakewood, we'll have to wait until Lakewood improves to the point where more upscale retailers will want to locate here. That's probably 4-5 years out...
Peter Grossetti
11:28 am on Monday, July 2, 2012
ah, the gentrification of Lakewood will, according to Evan, be complete in 4 to 5 years!
Evan Hammersmith
11:52 am on Monday, July 2, 2012
complete in 4-5 years? probably not. But given the recent development in the past few years in Lakewood, I would imagine over the next 4 years, we'll see more improvements made to the east end of the city. That'll be great, in my opinion. The east end is too neglected.
Nickie J. Antonio
5:04 pm on Saturday, June 30, 2012
is that a abandoned building or an empty building? Seems to me that Viginia Marti could expand or how about student housing or an artist loft and coffee shop/gallery? While Trader Joes is nice it but it is a corporate business rather than Lakewood's Nature's Bin which is an independent , mission driven non for profit market. Maybe Nature's Bin should consider a second location?
Lisa Mooney
12:51 pm on Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Trader Joe's would be a fabulous addition to Lakewood! How can it even be debated as a negative when so far on Detroit a beautiful church and theater have been torn down -- for a McDonald's and another not needed drug store. If we want to scrutinize tenants, then something isn't working right since these eyesores of mediocrity are seeping in everywhere. Trader Joe's shouldn't be placed in that category.
7:56 pm on Saturday, June 30, 2012
As much as I would love to see a Trader Joe's in Lakewood I don't think a lone building is their thing.I haven't seen every Trader Joe's but the ones I have been to are in plazas or places like Crocker Park. It would be great if Virginia Marti could use that area to expand.
Mark Buckley
4:11 pm on Sunday, July 1, 2012
Renee, Much of what you say is shared by residents on Grace. If you're interested this Thursday (July 5) The Planning Commision will be deciding the fate of the encroachment by Drug Mart on Grace. Please attend and have your voice heard. We need support. Also those of us who feel poorly served by this administration should mobilize and push back at the ballot box.
Liz B.
8:33 am on Monday, July 2, 2012
The issue is basically moot. The City has approached Trader Joe's on many occassions. First with no response whatsoever and then with a "we're not interested". If you have been to any other Trader Joe's across the country, you will notice they are usually in some upper scale plaza and setting like Crocker Park. The east end of Lakewood does not interest them.

Labeling Myself: Ex-Gay, Struggles with Same Sex Attraction, or New Creation?
Guest post by carleton1958
I've been talking with a couple guys about how we categorize or label ourselves in regard to struggles in our life. When I was 24 and first faced the reality that I may have become alcoholic, I started to label myself as an alcoholic, or what I came to prefer "recovering alcoholic" because it reminded me and clarified to others that I was in recovery. Most people in AA just call themselves an alcoholic, but I find that confusing and potentially misleading if others think of them as an active alcoholic.It also dominates some people's thinking of themselves, where their identity is completely wrapped up in being "alcoholic".
When I was 19 and 20 and first grappling with my attraction towards men, I struggled with how to think of myself. Was I "gay", "homosexual" or just confused? And when I was 24 and just starting to seek freedom from homosexual attractions if that was possible, I started to hear the term "ex-gay," but I found that inaccurate or misleading as well. I had never really labeled myself as gay, nor had I really entered into a gay lifestyle. It also implies that one has no attraction towards men anymore either. The reality is that it is a process of change or else little change in feelings but a matter of overcoming temptation and behaviors that I came to believe was contrary to God's will for my life.
So what to call ourselves when we struggle with an unwanted homosexual orientation? Or as I have more recently been calling it, "same sex attraction", which is the term Celebrate Recovery has also adopted? If I were in a Celebrate Recovery small group dealing with this, I might introduce myself at meetings by saying "Hi. I'm Jeff, a Christian believer who struggles with same sex attraction." But that makes it sound like I struggle with it day after day after day, which I really don't. In our addiction small group, most guys say "I struggle with alcohol (or drugs)" or "I'm an alcoholic" or "I'm a drug addict." If they are still early in recovery that may be entirely accurate, but as times goes on and somebody builds up extended sobriety, what is the right way to identify oneself?
My Xanga friend Lonnie has written a new blog post in which he talks about labeling oneself, and he recommends using the term "new creation in Christ" because it is scriptural and it places our identity in Christ rather than in an area of struggle. I like that, and I am starting to rethink the whole label issue since it is easy to get hung up on when addressing change in our lives as Christians. This phrase "new creation in Christ" comes from 2 Corinthians 5:17: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! And Lonnie also reminded me in his post that we are transformed individuals, as we are called to be in Romans 12:2: Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
And so rather than go back and forth on which label to use for myself or when talking about others, particularly in regard to overcoming same sex attraction, I am going to start thinking about myself more as Lonnie has recommended.
"Hi, I'm Jeff, a new creation in Christ."
If I want to identify myself further in the context of a specific group like Celebrate Recovery or sharing with some individual seeking support, I can add to that by saying that "I have struggled with same sex attraction (or alcohol or codependency or whatever)", but in general I don't need to make this label thing a focal point of my identity. I am transformed by Christ. My identity is in Christ. I am a new creation in Christ; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Have you ever identified yourself by your struggles?

1Starting in April 2012 we will embark on an odyssey. A bike tour from Berlin to India for a good cause. 10.000 kilometers on our bikes give plenty of space to promote the realization of a sustainable dry toilet project in India. Also we want to raise attention about the global issue of billions of people not having access to the simplest sanitary infrastructure and clean drinking water.
2We are not professional adventurers. Maushami is an attorney, Johann studies Media and Communication, Thomas is an entrepreneur and Erik studies cultural sciences. We are normal young people who spontaneously decided to go on an unconvential tour to make the world a better place.
3With the tour, we will try to raise donations for a sustainable toilet project in India. The donations will be used to finance sanitation infrastructure and to prevent the pollution of the groundwater. More details can be found under Project and our Blog.
4We believe that everybody can be a change-maker and that normal people like you and I have the opportunity to make this world a better place – in small or large ways . If you share this belief, we would appreciate your support!
Support us
I donate 1 Cent per kilometer to the toilet project. It does't hurt and dry toilets are a good cause!
Our project partner
The GTO has the mission to protect the environment and improve public health by raising awareness of, and providing people with, clean and sustainable toilet and wastewater treatment systems. The GTO collects the donations for the toilet project in India. After the project is financed, the GTO hands 100% of the donations to the local partner in India, the ECOSAN SERVICES FOUNDATION, for the implementation of the project in India.
Our partner in India is the Ecosan Services Foundation in Pune. The ESF has already implemented several field projects and has the expertise necessary to realize the project in India. When we arrive on our bikes, we are ready to work with the ESF to make the dry toilet project come true.
The Non-Water Sanitation e.V. has the goal to help people without toilets to gain access to sustainable sanitary infrastructure, especially dry toilet systems. This is to be achieved through the collaboration with academic institutions and the support of the construction of the dry toilet project in India.

The Overberg on horseback
Did you know?
There are more than 3 000 different plant species found in the Overberg region.
With such a diverse range of natural scenery, the Overberg is an outdoor enthusiast's dream destination. In addition to the expanse of ocean and the towering mountains, the colourful flowers and dense fynbos set the perfect scene for an unforgettable horseback trail ride.
The Overberg region is widely regarded as the world's best for land-based whale watching, and seeing these ocean giants breaching while trotting along on the back of a horse is an appealing offering.
The African Horse Company owns 300ha of land in the Southern Overberg, on which their horses (Arabian, Friesian and saddler) roam freely when they are not being ridden. They have also been allowed access to a number of neighbouring farms and are able to offer guests an authentic outride experience as a result.
These rides can be anything from a one-hour trail ride, to a nine-day expedition. Meals and accommodation are included in the packages. These trips can involve up to seven hours of riding per day, giving explorers the chance to live like the pioneers who came to this region centuries before them. On the longer trail rides, there are a lot of opportunities for cantering and trotting.
'Why the rush?' is a question frequently asked by staff at the African Horse Company. Away from the hustle and bustle of the urban working world, life is much simpler in many ways and an Overberg horseback expedition will remind you of this. The guides on these rides have expert knowledge of the area and are trained in basic first aid. Book your ride today and connect with nature on horseback.

On the Robustness of Unit Root Tests in the Presence of Double Unit RootsNiels HaldrupAarhus University, School of Economics and Management; CREATES Peter M. LildholdtBank of England - Monetary Analysis June 2000 UCSD Department of Econ. Discussion Paper No. 2000-13 Abstract: We examine some of the consequences on commonly used unit root tests when the underlying series is integrated of order two rather than of order one. It turns out that standard augmented Dickey-Fuller type of tests for a single unit root have excessive density in the explosive region of the distribution. The lower (stationary) tail, however, will be virtually unaffected in the presence of double unit roots. On the other hand, the Phillips-Perron class of semi-parametric tests is shown to diverge to plus infinity asymptotically and thus favoring the explosive alternative. Numerical simulations are used to demonstrate the analytical results and some of the implications in finite samples.

Vote up?
But look at Kevin's log in form example. There's no additional markup (in fact, a lot less markup than many people would currently add to provide CSS hooks).
Maybe I'm missing something, but looks to me like there are two extra elements for each label/input vs. what you'd need if you weren't using CSS tables. The span seems wholly unnecessary, and the div wrapping each set should only be necessary for IE6… where CSS tables fail anyway, right?

Science Fair Project Encyclopedia
Deep Throat is a US pornographic movie released in January 1972, written and directed by Gerard Damiano and starring the erotic actress Linda Lovelace. It was shown in many mainstream movie theatres and is likely the most successful and influential pornographic film of all time.
Contents |
Description and plot
The movie, 61 minutes long, is intended to be funny with highly corny dialogues and songs, fireworks going off and bells ringing during orgasm, and the following plot: a sexually frustrated woman (Linda Lovelace "playing herself") asks her friend Helen (played by Dolly Sharp) for advice; after a sex party didn't provide any help, Helen recommends that Linda visit a doctor (played by Harry Reems). The doctor notices that Linda's clitoris is located in her throat; she then goes on to work as a therapist for the doctor and perform a particular technique of oral sex—also known as "deep throat"—on various men, until she finds the one to marry. Meanwhile, the doctor has sex with his nurse (played by Carol Connors). The movie ends with the line "The End. And Deep Throat to you all."
The various explicit scenes of oral, anal and vaginal sex acts led to an X rating by the MPAA film rating system.
Porn Chic
On June 5, 1972, the movie received a glowing review by Al Goldstein in his Screw magazine.
Together with Behind the Green Door which was also released in 1972 and widely shown in mainstream theatres, Deap Throat started a brief period of 'porn chic' when it was considered cool in some circles to go see porn movies, even in company. Already in 1973, the movie was marketed on videotape, although consumer VCRs were not common until around 1977. The movie was featured at the Cannes Film Festival in 1973.
Unlike Behind the Green Door, Deep Throat's fame does not primarily root from its explicitness but from the fact that it set some of the main conventions of modern pornography: a synopsis made up of different segments of graphic sex, attached with a minimal plot.
Two lesser known hardcore porn movies had been released previously in the US: Mona in 1970 and School Girl in 1971.
Production and revenue
The scenes involving Linda Lovelace were shot in Miami over 6 days; the scenes involving Carol Connors were shot in New York City.
The movie was produced by Louis "Butchie" Peraino (listed as "Lou Perry"), with most of the production cost of $22,500 coming from his father Anthony Peraino and his uncle Joe "The Whale" Peraino , both members of the Mafia, specifically the Colombo crime family. Damiano, who had rights to one-third of the profits, was forced out by the Parainos shortly after the movie's success had become apparent. The Mafia would put pressure on theatre owners, generally demanding 50% of all proceeds and sending out spies to verify ticket sale numbers.
Estimates of total revenue have varied widely. One FBI source puts it at $100 million, but numbers as high as $600 million have also been cited, whicyh would make the movie the most profitable of all time. Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times argues for a lower number, pointing out that the movie was banned in half the USA, and may only have been shown in one theatre in each of a few large cities. With a ticket price of $2.05, box-office takings of $600 million would require every man, woman and child in the USA to have seen it one-and-a-half times. Since there was no mass VCR market until around 1977, video-tape sales cannot have contributed to revenue, although Super-8 cine sales may have brought some revenue during the mid-1970s.
Linda Boreman's allegations
In her first two biographies, Linda Lovelace (real name Linda Boreman) characterizes making the film as a liberating experience; in her third and fourth (written after making the acquaintance of Andrea Dworkin), she charges that she was coerced to perform by her abusive husband Chuck Traynor who received $1200 for her acting.
In 1986 she testified before the Meese Commission: "Virtually every time someone watches that movie, they're watching me being raped." And in the Toronto Sun on March 20, 1981: "It is a crime that movie is still showing; there was a gun to my head the entire time." While the other people present on the set did not support the gun charge, both Traynor and Damiano confirmed in interviews that he was very controlling of her and would also hit her on occasion.
The director is listed as "Jerry Gerard", a pseudonym for Gerard Daminao. Damiano also makes a short non-sex appearance during the party scene; the score lists him as "Al Gork".
Co-star Harry Reems originally was hired to serve on the production crew for $200, but then agreed to appear in the film although that meant he would receive only $100 for his performance.
The movie's title gave rise to the name "Deep Throat" for Bob Woodward's secret informant in the Watergate affair.
Linda's husband Chuck Traynor was also billed as production manager of the movie. At one point he was considered as an actor, but he could not maintain an erection. After Linda left him in 1974, he would get involved with porn star Marilyn Chambers.
Obscenity litigation
In various communities, the movie was shown to juries to determine whether it was obscene according to the Miller test; the outcomes varied widely and the movie was banned in numerous locations. In 1976, there was a series of federal cases in Memphis, Tennessee, where over 60 individuals and companies, including the Parainos, director Gerard Damiano and actor Harry Reems, were indicted for conspiracy to distribute obscenity across state lines. This was one of the first times that an actor had been prosecuted on obscenity charges, and the defendents received considerable support from Hollywood circles. Nevertheless, convictions were obtained, but they were overturned on appeal on a technicality. The Perainos and some other major players connected to organized crime (though not Damiano and Reems) were tried again, convicted and given short prison sentences.
A 2005 documentary film, Inside Deep Throat, relates the film's production history and examines its effects on American culture. Among other things, it features recent interviews with Damiano and Reems; in the opening sequence, Damiano admits that the movie wasn't that good.

A large number of organizations still don't have a mature Enterprise Role Management in place. Such a concept starts with the high level view on business roles and goes down to the system roles, which are sort of the abstraction layer of system-internal concepts. Business roles have to be provided by the business organization. They have to align with business processes and the user's activities therein. Other concepts like constraints or competencies to limit the reach of roles – for example by adding different maximum amounts for procurement decision of different users – have to be added. All this has to be implemented in the organization, thus the organizational roll-out is one of the major challenges.
This webinar will provide you with the best practices from KuppingerCole Advisory Services at various clients. It explains how to successfully implement Enterprise Role Management, focusing especially on the organizational aspects. However, it also provides minimum requirements for software selection to ensure that the system chosen is flexible enough to support the customer's specific requirements in Enterprise Role Management – starting with flexibility in the terms used and the role layers defined.

CD/LP/Track Review
Robin Eubanks and Mental Images: Get 2 It
Like many creative endeavors, there seems to be cyclical nature to the trends and fashions that influence artist's musical undertakings. The impact of acid rock and funk could be heard in the jazz of artists such as Miles Davis and John McLaughlin when they "plugged in" during the late '60s and early '70s. We would then need to skip forward to the mid '80s to again see funk and electronic stimuli making their mark on the M-Base faction that found people like Greg Osby, Steve Coleman, and Robin Eubanks exploring a fusion of avant and groove sensibilities. Today, it seems that the movement has run its course. Still, its implications seem to resonate in some of the founding artists' current endeavors, including Robin Eubanks' Get 2 It, his initial effort for his own REM label and first solo set in some two years.
A veteran of the bands of Art Blakey, Dave Holland and Elvin Jones, Eubanks comes up with an intrepid new statement on Get 2 It. Albeit his genuine interest in exploring new avenues by attaching electronics to his bone, it makes for a sound that it quite atypical. When saxophonists hooked up their Varitone add-ons back in the late '60s, there still was a modicum of the essential sound of the horn. With Eubanks' electric trombone, the horn's fundamental sound has been so transformed as to be only remotely recognizable. Of the four tracks to feature this newfangled instrument, "Blues For Jimi" (penned, of course, for Jimi Hendrix) is the most successful because Eubanks gets a raw sound that approaches that of a psychedelic electric guitar and George Colligan's organ groove keeps things right in the pocket. Elsewhere, like on Wayne Shorter's "House of Jade," the electronics seem out of place in contrast to Eubanks' more sonorous moments on acoustic horn.
The acoustic cuts that feature Eubanks' intricate writing prove to be the most satisfying. "Cross Currents" effortlessly skirts between various meters as boss Dave Holland and band mate Billy Kilson hold down the fort with assurance. The funk groove of "Metamorphos" stirs up quite a froth as it also initiates us to Eubanks's core working unit with brother Duane on trumpet, George Colligan on piano/synth/organ, Lonnie Plaxico on bass, and Gene Jackson on drums. "Sabana" has as its foundation a bass pattern reminiscent of Ron Carter's line on Wayne Shorter's "Footprint." A more complex and jagged series of tempo changes marks "Indo" and one would need a scorecard to keep up with it all. In the end, each listener will have to form their own opinions about Eubanks' unusual new sound, but there's enough happening throughout that fans with eclectic tastes will find more than enough to keep them content.
Track Listing: Metamorphos, Get 2 It, Essie, REM State, Blues For Jimi, Cross Currents, RNB-First Take, Sabanna, House of Jade, Reunion, Indo, Audio Notes by Robin
Personnel: Robin Eubanks (trombone & electric trombone); Duane Eubanks (trumpet); Kevin Eubanks (acoustic guitar); Maya Azucena (vocals); George Colligan, Michael Cain (keyboards); Lonnie Plaxico, Dave Holland (bass); Billy Kilson, Gene Jackson (drums); Mino Cinelu (percussion)

Is coating with epoxy always necessary when boatbuilding in wood?
I read the latest article by naval architect Michael Waters the other day and it prompted me to ask him if he thought using epoxy on wooden hulls was always necessary for the hulls of a small trimaran — if the boat was going to primarily be used for daysailing (or as a weekender)?
In other words, would it be possible to build a good wooden sailing tri without using epoxy and sheathing on the hulls? Could a small trimaran builder put hulls together and just paint them?
What really got me to thinking about this was Mike's observation that many early small tris, such as the Crowther Buccaneer pictured in Mike's article, were never "epoxy sealed" … yet some of those hulls are still in good shape after 30 years. By contrast, other wooden hulls (sealed with epoxy) have rotted away over the years because moisture got trapped inside the wood that the epoxy was supposed to be protecting, and the wood never had a chance to dry out and ended up rotting.
Mike replied with the following …
"Joe, many of the early Buccaneers were indeed originally built without epoxy, and so were a lot of Pivers and some Searunners too. Personally, I am of the opinion that epoxy has sometimes been over specified without much thought – based on heavy marketing and some misguided hype that 'epoxy can fix and seal everything.'
As you can see from the picture in my article, it can also cause problems too. With wood, you either seal it totally or let it breath and that's not always an easy choice. If the epoxy cannot be applied in a layer without breaks, then there's more than a fair chance the wood will fail if it gets real wet at all (as often happens in an ama).
Epoxy still makes sense below the waterline though and up to 4″ above it, though one could use a thick epoxy paint like coal-tar epoxy that's now commonly used on the inside of a ship's ballast tanks.
For the W22 small trimaran model I'm designing, I will be recommending an epoxy exterior for some areas only that are subject to abrasion and impact – (otherwise the Awlgrip polyurethane) – but alum paint inside much of it, except below the waterline … where it will be glass for the main hull and epoxy in the interior of each ama. Under the deck will be treated with epoxy too, but in a quite unique way that I will detail later.
This will give a good compromise between cost, weight and service life. Strengthwise, epoxy and cloth should be on the INSIDE anyway – in order to resist wave pressure and impact, through a surface in tension.
I have some different ideas on prefinishing the plywood too, but you'll have to read about these later ;-)
Later this year, I hope to post an article reviewing the old argument of epoxy vs. polyester, despite the fact that many designers think that was all over and settled years ago.
While I have no argument with many of the superior qualities of epoxy, the one factor that is often not considered is, which resin gives you the most 'bang for your buck' and that I contend, should depend on where and how it is used. A well done epoxy base is tougher than paint though and the latter will need a little more attention and regular maintenance – but yes, good paint well applied, can still work fine. Read more later."
– Mike

Rentech Fertilizer Plant
- Type
- N2O destruction
- Location
- East Dubuque, IL
- Project by
- Rentech Nitrogen
Rentech's fertilizer plant in East Dubuque, Illinois produces nitric acid and ammonia to serve the needs of midwestern farmers. With this project the facility is reducing it's N2O emissions using a tertiary abatement catalyst system, the first ever in the United States.
How are the carbon offsets generated?
N2O, a greenhouse gas about three hundred times as powerful as CO2, is created as a byproduct of producing nitric acid, one of the main ingredients in fertilizer. At Rentech's plant the tail gas from nitric acid production is now piped through a chamber with a special catalyst that converts 95% to 99% of the N2O into nitrogen and oxygen. A continuous emissions monitoring system directly measures the amount of N2O in the tail gas exiting the chamber to ensure the catalyst is working effectively.
Non-carbon benefits
Fertilizer is an integral component of the agricultural system, and this project provides an example of how fertilizer plants and other industrial facilities can reduce the impact of their operations.
Project additionality
As certified under the CAR standard, selling offsets was the only economic incentive for implementing this project.

Relational Bullying |
By The VIRTUS®
Our 13-year old daughter isn't someone you would think of as timid. She isn't shy, unskilled, or without talent, nor is she gregarious, gifted, or "out there." She's neither unpopular nor popular. "Geek" or "nerd" doesn't fit her but neither does "jock," "brain," or "prep." She is a "middle of the road" kid, firmly on the fence, not caring to go one way or another. How then could she be bullied? Throughout sixth and seventh grade our daughter, Grace, had a few good acquaintances but she really longed for a "best friend." She was thrilled, then, when she clicked with Sara at the beginning of the eighth grade. Grace came home from school one day announcing that she had finally found someone who was just like her—that Sara was so similar it was scary. They became inseparable. Enter Vicki. Vicki sat at the lunch table with Grace and Sara and made it clear that she wanted to be Sara's best friend. Our daughter, Grace liked Vicki well enough but felt that Vicki just wasn't someone she would go out of her way to spend time with; they just weren't cut from the same cloth. The three of them tried to limp along as a threesome for a while but if you know anything about middle school girls, you know that groups of three don't work very well. Vicki began telling lies about Grace and gave everyone a different story. To some she said Grace was a "two-timer" who would talk trash behind the girls' backs. To others she criticized the jeans Grace wore or the choice of shoes and shirt and would accuse her of being a "poser"—someone who copies everyone else, trying to be just like them (didn't we used to refer to that as flattery?). Vicki threatened others not to be friends with Grace and fabricated allegations, "Did you see the way she looked at me?" Vicki's tactics worked. Grace was ignored at the lunch table, ostracized in class, and excluded from weekend events. Our daughter was the victim of relational bullying, unwarranted, persistent, unwelcome behavior in the form of criticism, isolation, or fabricated allegations that cause damage to peer relationships. Relational bullying includes social exclusion, "You can't be with us", spreading rumors, "Did you hear…?", or withholding friendship, "I won't be your friend if you…" (Bauman, Sheri; Del Rio, Adrienne, Journal of Educational Psychology). Relational bullying can often seem ambiguous to outside observers and often garners less attention than physical bullying or verbal bullying. It is sometimes wrongly perceived as less harmful or is discounted as "normal, adolescent behavior." Yet, several recent studies suggest relational bullying is more strongly related to emotional distress and teen depression than any other form of bullying. Relational bullying behaviors are often subtle, occurring out of sight or out of earshot of adults. Children are less likely to report instances of relational bullying because many feel school personnel or parents will not believe them or that they are unable to protect them. I noticed Grace no longer received phone calls at home nor did she ask to have people come over. She stayed around the house more, shared with me the events of her day less and less and her television viewing and computer usage increased. After much prodding she finally revealed what had been going on; we were able to discuss that this was more than dealing with a "difficult person." Grace was the victim of someone with a compulsive need to project their inadequacy onto another through control and subjugation, and it continued in a climate of fear, indifference, silence, and tolerance. I placed a call to the school counselor who agreed to bring Vicki and Grace together for a conference. Fortunately our daughter was strong enough to expose Vicki's behaviors in front of the counselor, "It is fine if you don't want to be my friend but don't spread lies to make others dislike me too." Vicki instinctively began using denial and blame to avoid her responsibility and any consequence. In most cases, what the bully fears most is exposure of their inadequacy; calling Vicki out and making her account for her behavior was enough to get Vicki to stop using Grace as a target, but because the reasons for Vicki's feelings of inadequacy weren't addressed, Vicki found another target, someone else to displace her feelings upon and the cycle of bullying continued. I'm certain that what you want from me now is a step-by-step guide on how to stop bullying. I wish I could but it's not coming. In our instant society, there is no instant answer to the problem of bullying. To stop this behavior we must get to the root cause and this means we must intervene. Successful intervention, however, requires time and patience. For many parents and teachers it is much easier to just say, "knock it off" but unfortunately, "knock it off" doesn't work. The need for education programs that include an assessment of attitudes toward bullying, knowledge, awareness, and skills for addressing all types of bullying, but especially relational bullying is urgent. The old adage, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," is wrong. From his book, All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, Robert Fulghum's adage, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will break my heart" provides a greater understanding of this phenomenon. |

I read in the paper this morning that apparently, dozens of workers in the blue jeans industry have died, and others have been maimed, due to the practice of sandblasting jeans. As one reads the articles, one would come to believe that the practice of sandblasting poses a horrible risk to human health.
On the flip side, it's standard practice to prepare metal surfaces for painting with a quick silica blast. So what gives?
Well, apparently the managers at the blue jeans plants overseas are too (insert expletive here if desired) cheap to purchase a $56 respirator from McMaster-Carr for their workers in the sandblasting rooms.
It introduces an interesting question; libertarians (and I do name myself as having libertarian inclinations) will claim that the profit motive alone ought to impel smart businessmen to treat their workers well. However, in a "supply rich environment" for labor such as that of developing countries, I'm not quite sure that's true in general. "Get me another set of lungs not yet filled with sand, Louie."
And of course, exactly what kind of insane person would want to pay extra for jeans deliberately damaged by sand is beyond me. But if you're that person, and want some damaged jeans, I've got a few pairs (size 36/34) that I'll let go for $15 apiece. Even better, they're authentically damaged by real working in dirt and grease (one pair is chemically faded by "Liquid Plumber")! So you get a better price than Target and street cred to boot.
Do I have any takers?

Moviegoers Talk Theater Safety
Posted: 12:00 AM Jul 21, 2012
Reporter: Lanetra Bennett
Tallahassee, Florida- July 20, 2012
The parking lot at Governor's Square theater was nearly full by noon today, but there are some avid moviegoers who are now skeptical about visiting the movies.
Several area residents say the shooting in Colorado has them thinking twice about going to the movies. Not only do they not want to go to midnight showings anymore ... Some say, it almost makes them not want to go at all.
Says Tallahassee resident Steve Parker about the Batman movie: "But, I have older ones that they've been asking to go see it. Now, it makes you say, no."
Parker says hearing about a gunman in Aurora, Colorado opening fire in a midnight movie premier of "Dark Knight Rises" concerns him.
"You want to make sure there's metal detectors there and there's people patting people down. It makes you want to stay at home and rent movies from home and not let your kids experience the same experience you had when you were a child."
Says another Tallahassee resident Marie Sapronetti: "I saw it on the news and I just couldn't believe it. That was the first thing that was on the news. I was just like, there's no way that happened."
Authorities say 24-year-old James Holmes killed 12 people and injured more than 70. Reports say some moviegoers thought Holmes -- who was dressed in all black and wore body armor -- was a part of the show.
Says Tommy Jones, a Crawfordville resident: "I think I'm going to wait now. That type of thing scares me. I'd like to take my kids to see stuff like that, but, not if I'm going to have that fear that something like that could happen."
Residents say it's sad to say, but, they believe that movie theaters should start thinking about putting metal detectors up and hiring around-the-clock security. However, both AMC and Regal Theatres in Tallahassee already have security on site.

New Australian Government Seeks to Revitalize Country's Scientific Infrastructure and Research Programs
Kim Carr

Australia's recently elected government has embarked on an ambitious program to revitalize the country's scientific infrastructure, an effort involving the federal government, public research organizations, universities, and the private sector, new Innovation Minister Kim Carr said at a briefing co-sponsored by AAAS.
Carr told the audience of 50 that the government of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd acted quickly after winning last November's election: It ratified the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, which the former Liberal-led Coalition government had declined to do. It formed the Ministry of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research. And the ministry undertook various administrative actions that, while generally symbolic and low-cost, nevertheless demonstrated the new government's commitment to scientific progress.
Carr described some of the issues facing Australian science and the government's plans to deal with the issues at a meeting of the Washington Science Policy Alliance on 11 June in Washington, D.C. The Alliance is an informal group, comprising AAAS and other science-related institutions, that conducts seminars and meetings on science and technology policy.
After the Rudd government took office, Carr said, it undertook various short-term steps designed to show respect to Australian researchers and bring them back to the center of public life. They included action to eliminate what he called covert political interference in the grant-allocation process, creation of an advisory board that gives researchers a voice in funding strategy, and upgrading of the office of chief scientist.
Carr's other priority, he said, was to put innovation on the policy map, a goal with a much longer timeline. He said that it was a matter of national pride that Australia, with just 0.3% of the world's population, produces 3% of the world's research papers. Over half of spending on research and development—54%—comes from business, with another 3% from nonprofit organizations, he noted, while 43% of spending is public, comprising 27% by universities and 16% by government agencies. But, he added, very little of the business spending is on pure, basic research.
"Surely, all we need to do is marry the basic research capabilities of our public researchers to the application and development capabilities of industry," he suggested. Actually, no. "It's a fine idea, but historically, it hasn't happened," he said. In fact, Carr reported, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) puts Australia in last place among 26 industrialized nations for university collaboration with business firms, large and small. Public research organizations ranked only a little higher in their collaboration with business.
The Ministry of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research seeks to bridge the gulf between private industry and public research, Carr said. "It has been created to get people looking beyond their affiliation to this institution or that sector—to get them seeing themselves instead as participants in a single, national innovation system."
The new government's first budget, adopted in May, delivers on several science-related electoral promises, Carr said. Among them: Clean Business Australia is a program to help industry adopt green building and production techniques and commercialize green products and services. Future Fellowships will fund 1,000 mid-career scientists—from any country—to undertake major research projects in Australia. And the government will partially reimburse tuition fees for undergraduates who major in science and mathematics, with further reductions promised to those who make careers in these fields, including teaching.
Indeed, public education is a major focus for the Rudd government. It has allocated AU$500 million (US$465 million) to upgrade and maintain university teaching and research facilities in the current fiscal year. Starting in 2009, at least AU$11 billion (US$10.23 billion) will be available for capital spending for university-affiliated research institutions and other educational infrastructure.
"It didn't come a moment too soon," Carr said, describing the new budget as a "sea change." He noted that the previous government had reduced spending on tertiary education by 4% from 1995 to 2004, while during the same period, other OECD countries had increased their spending by an average of 49%. Australia was the only OECD country to record a decline, he added.
Carr has followed educational issues since he was first elected to the Senate in 1993, and he served as Shadow Minister science and research when Labor was in opposition. Still, in his first six months as minister, he has realized that bringing about cultural and structural change is "an endurance event, not a sprint." Change can only come about, he said, "by patiently investing time, thought, and money in building capacity, concentrating activity and resources, improving connections, and fostering creativity across the innovation system."
International cooperation in research is essential, Carr told his audience, and Australian scientists are heavily engaged with colleagues overseas. Some 58% of journal papers with an Australian author now have at least one international co-author, up from 39% in 2003. The United States is Australia's principal research partner, involved in a quarter of all government-funded international collaborations.
Australian-U.S. links should further strengthen, Carr said, under the terms of the joint Agreement on Science and Technology Cooperation signed in 2007. It covers such areas of strategic importance as climate change, clean energy, advanced computing, nanotechnology, and biotechnology. Further, a new partnership between Australia's Bureau of Meteorology and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) should improve tsunami warning systems, he said.
Australia's biggest international scientific project, said Carr, will be the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), if it wins the competition in which it and South Africa are short-listed for the building site. The SKA is a AU$2 billion (US$1.8 billion) radiotelescope, intended to answer questions about the complexity of the universe and the fundamental laws of physics. The array will consist of a central core of antennas, with others spread out over some 3,000 kilometers (around 5,000 miles). The total collecting area of the antennas will be one square kilometer (around 250 acres).
SKA will be 50 times more sensitive than any existing radiotelescope arrays, able to hear faint radio signals generated billions of years ago, when the universe was young. An international committee will decide between Australia and South Africa in the 2011-2012 period.
The Square Kilometre Array is "exactly the kind of large-scale, long-term science we need to get us thinking about the big picture," Carr said. "It has the potential to alter the way we understand the universe and our own place in it. And changes don't come much bigger than that."

text: EEOC: Merrill Lynch Hired Iranian for His Brains, Fired Him for His Nationality Washington DC - Merrill Lynch & Co., the world's third-largest securities firm by market value, was sued by the U.S. government on accusations of discrimination against an Iranian employee. The lawsuit was filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) based on a complaint by Dr. Majid Borumand, a former Vice President and Quantitative Analyst at Merrill Lynch. In a lawsuit filed against the company a week ago, the government charges that Merrill Lynch refused to promote Borumand and later fired him "on the basis of his national origin, Iranian, and religion, Muslim." It alleges that while employed at Merrill Lynch, Buromand was subject to hostile and bigoted remarks, "including but not limited to a comment that 'Quants [Quantitative Analysts] were like Israelis and traders were like Palestinians.'" Borumand was prohibited from sitting on the trading floor with his peers, the other Quantitative Analysts in his group, and placed in an office on a different floor. He was told ``the reason that you are not allowed on the trading floor is because you are from a country which has a high risk factor and a threat,'' according to the federal lawsuit. Borumand said that he did not wear a beard, pray at work, or say or do anything overtly religious or political. "The mere fact that I was an Iranian with Muslim heritage, I was suspicious," said Borumand. Borumand made several efforts to alert his supervisors to his treatment and asked to be relocated to the floor occupied by other Quantitative Analysts. In a letter to Merrill Lynch dated September 27, 2005, Leila Laoudji, Deputy Director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, characterized Borumand's subsequent firing in 2005 as "retaliatory." For its part, Merrill Lynch denies that any discrimination took place. "We respectfully-but strongly- disagree with the EEOC and deny Mr. Borumand's' allegation," it said in a press statement last week. Borumand came to the US over sixteen years ago on a student visa and moved to New York after attending graduate school in Wisconsin. He joined the New-York based international securities firm in January, 2002. Merrill Lynch filed a I-129 Petition for a Non-Immigrant Worker (H-1 visa) on behalf of Borumand shortly thereafter, listing Borumand's advanced academic credentials and the absence of comparable American candidates as reason for hire. Borumand has a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics and a Masters in Mathematical Finance. His work has been published in prestigious scientific journals and has been cited by members of the scientific community. Borumand was laid-off on June 23, 2005. The termination letter stated that his dismissal was part of a greater "reduction of force" within the company and that it was not performance related. Two weeks before his termination, Borumand, along with 37 other employees with doctorates, received an email from the marketing department announcing a new Ph.D. recruiting effort within the Global Markets Group. Borumand alleges that in the months prior to and following his termination, Merrill Lynch hired thousands of new workers, including Quantitative Analysts. Shortly after Borumand was fired, a computer programer at the firm was promoted to Quantitative Analyst. Prior to joining Merrill Lynch, the co-worker served as Chief Technology Officer for a private software company. His formal education is limited to high school, according to Borumand. In its 2002 employee visa petition, Merrill Lynch testified that the duties of "VP/Quantitative Analyst" required "at minimum," a Masters in Mathematics or a similar degree. The EEOC is a federal agency charged with the administration, interpretation and enforcement of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. While the federal lawsuit was filed by the EEOC independently of Borumand, it demands he be paid reparation for lost wages and mental duress. Borumand says that he intends to file a personal lawsuit based on similar charges. The case is one of several the EEOC has brought against Wall Street in the last few years. While two prior suits against the industry dealt with mental health and gender discrimination, this is arguably the first to address discrimination based on Middle Eastern decent. "This is something we are trying to get in front of, it is really important to us." said Merrill Lynch Spokeswomen, Selena Morris, in an interview yesterday. Morris pointed to the election of a new Diversity and Inclusion Chair and reported that the corporate board was almost 25 percent women. When asked about the national origins of visa holders employed by Merrill Lynch in the US and the minority composition of its workforce, the spokeswomen said she could not go into specifics. "Like all of Wall Street, we still have a lot of work to do," Morris said. |

Rodriguez's doctor says the torn cartilage on his hip contributed to the 37-year-old's poor performance in the last two months of the season.
He batted just .120 with no RBIs in the playoffs, going 0 for 18 with 12 strikeouts against right-handed pitchers. The doctor said last week the injury is caused by genetics and not steroids. Rodriguez is expected to be released from the hospital Thursday.

Hi, recently we bougth 3 brushless motors, a speed control, a rc control, but we dont know how to conect them.
-Motors brushless: Elite series exeed-rc, elite 370 63M02 20-30 kv5400
-Speed Control Bec: 5V/3A NimH 5-12s Lipo 2-4s
-rc control fly sky digital proportional rc system (ct6) 2.4ghz 6 chanels
-li-po battery Gens 2600mah-25c-11 1v-3s1p (11.1v)
I believe you need 3 Speed controllers for 3 motors.
What do you wish to do?, it seems you only have one speed controller for three motors, am I correct?
we want create a tricopter, when we bougth all the sellers sayd that we only need 1 speed controls all motors at the same speed
As far as I know, and I'm no expert, you'll need an ESC for each motor. Connectors. Wire. Control board. Prop spinners. Props etc....
The motors look like inrunners. I've never seen a copter with inrunners either..
Make sure your ESC's and motors are matched as far as current is concerned.
Have you ever flown or built an rc model before?
we have inrunner motors the speed control is http://www.mundorcx.com/tienda-de-aeromodelismo-bogota-colombia.htm...
If you were expecting to build a tricopter with just the stuff listed above, you were mistaken.
what would do we need??
To steer a vehicle like a tricopter you will require differential speed per motor. Same as with a quadcopter or any other multi rotor vehicle. For this you will require one speed controller per motor, and a minimum of three channels, unless you wish to try out tilting motors and vector thrusting.
there is a tutorial for this??
we just need somthing simple
To get started, lets ask the questions
1. Do you have an Ardupilot mega or any other stabiliser system for this tricopter?
Ok, Question 2
What is your profeciency level with an RC Helicopter, traditional or multi rotor.
I ask this question only to help me guide you in the right direction
