Jeffrey J. Haas
Professor Jeffrey Haas is a leading authority on corporate, securities and business law. He teaches courses in securities regulation, corporations, mergers & acquisitions, mutual fund regulation and contracts. Prior to joining the faculty at NYLS in 1996, Jeff practiced corporate and securities law at Cravath, Swaine & Moore and Latham & Watkins.
Jeff believes that it is crucial that law professors—particularly business law professors—"walk the walk" in addition to merely "talking the talk." "Theory has its place," according to Jeff, "but it has to be closely integrated into practice-based learning. Doing otherwise is a disservice to the many students who seek to practice law upon graduation." Thus, Jeff continues to have one foot firmly planted in the real world in order to enhance his students' educational experience. Indeed, Jeff has served on boards of directors of public companies for 16 years. Currently, he proudly serves as the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the American Independence mutual fund family and previously served on the board of the HSBC family of mutual funds. Jeff has substantial experience (including as Chair) on audit, compensation and nominating committees.
Additionally, Jeff brings into the classroom experiences he garners through the consulting work he performs for a limited number of clients. Most of these clients are entrepreneurs and small business owners, such as technology-oriented Zoey (ZoeyCommerce.com) and real estate upstart RetailMLS (retailmls.com). "When discussing various types of business entities and the managerial, tax and other repercussions of each, students react differently when you tell them that you had the exact same discussion with a client earlier that day," says Jeff. "Moreover, one of the best ways to prepare students for client work is to share the experience you have with clients with your students," Jeff adds.
A drummer by background, many of Jeff's clients stem from his passion for rock and roll music and memorabilia collecting. Through his work with Gotta Have It! (gottahaveit.com) and its affiliated companies, Jeff has advised on deals involving Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Eminem, The Eagles, The Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan, The Recording Academy ("GRAMMYS") and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. To his students' delight, Jeff keeps a Roland V-Pro electronic drum set in his office at NYLS.
As a scholar, Jeff's articles have appeared in the Southern California Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, the Emory Law Review and the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, among others. He has also authored the books CORPORATE FINANCE HORNBOOK (West Academic, 2014) and CORPORATE FINANCE NUTSHELL (1st, 2nd, and 3rd editions, Thomson West 2015) and co-authored the books INVESTMENT ADVISER REGULATION (Thomson West 2008) and CORPORATE FINANCE AND GOVERNANCE: CASES, MATERIALS AND PROBLEMS FOR AN ADVANCED COURSE IN CORPORATIONS (Carolina Academic Press 2006). Jeff received his B.S. summa cum laude from Florida State University (double major in Finance and Classical Civilizations) and his J.D. cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where he was a Comment Editor on the Law Review. Jeff also studied at the University of Melbourne in Australia as a Rotary Foundation Scholar.

Bought the EBC slotted rotors and green pads for front of my 08 FJ 2 years ago and just recently replaced the green pads with another set. Didn't try to turn the rotor (not sure you can w/slotted?) Either way, they bedded in and work great. Heads up, green pads are 50k max pads...still better performance than OEM and less than half price. Good trade off. The rotors are great. No signs of warping or significant wear. The same set I just bought for rear? I expect the same sort of performance.

Report: Premarital HIV Testing to Be Mandatory for Muslims in Malaysian State
May 26, 2005
Adapted from:
Beginning in January, Malaysia's northeastern state of Kelantan will require Muslim couples seeking to wed to undergo pre-martial HIV testing, the New Straits Times newspaper reported Thursday. Kelantan state Islamic Development Committee Chairperson Hassan Mohamood was quoted as saying that couples must present test results prior to registering for mandatory marriage preparatory classes. If a partner is HIV-infected, they will be counseled regarding risks but will not be barred from marrying, said Hassan. The measure, he said, was prompted by the increase in HIV among young people in the state. Similar measures are in effect in the states of Johor and Perlis.

Disciplinary Major or Minor
(Bachelor of Science)
Professors — Kumar Kangayappan, Ismail Shariff, Larry Smith, John Stoll (chair)
Associate Professor — Thomas Nesslein
Web site: www.uwgb.edu/economics/
Economics Major Requirements | Economics Minor Requirements | Course Descriptions
Economics focuses on the allocation and distribution of scarce resources. As a social science, economics is fundamentally about people — their needs, wants and behavior, and the institutions they construct.
As a discipline focusing on scarcity, economics includes the study of organizations and institutions that influence resource allocation, including businesses, governments, households, product markets, and the markets for land, labor, capital, and innovation, among others. Understanding these organizations provides insights into issues such as inflation, unemployment, government regulation, environmental degradation, poverty, and sustainable economic systems with or without growth.
Students who major or minor in Economics receive training in quantitative methods, economic theory, and applied economic analysis. Students can tailor their academic programs to fit their particular strengths, interests, and career goals.
Economics majors must choose an interdisciplinary minor or have a second major that is interdisciplinary. Many Economics majors at UW-Green Bay choose a minor in Business Administration with emphases in marketing or finance. Other students select minors in one of the interdisciplinary social science programs, Environmental Science, or the humanities.
The broad training received by Economics students in incentive based decision-making creates a variety of career opportunities. Many UW-Green Bay Economics majors enter careers in business, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations directly after graduation. Individuals trained in economics are frequently employed by banks and investment firms, government agencies, market research firms, insurance companies, management consulting firms, advertising agencies, labor unions, and as private entrepreneurs. Economics graduates have been employed in real estate, land use planning, financial planning, credit and collection, advertising, management, statistics, systems analysis, politics and public administration. Many go on to graduate schools, where they receive advanced training in such fields as business, economics, law, public policy, and urban studies.
Students may also desire to become certified teachers. In such cases, programs should be designed jointly with appropriate advisers in both the Economics and Education programs at UW-Green Bay.Students seeking information on teacher certification should contact the Education Office.

STAMFORD, Conn. -- The state Judiciary Committee upheld a previous decision Wednesday that the Stamford woman who was mauled by a chimp is not allowed to sue the state, according to The Hartford Courant.
Carla Nash and her attorney were attempting to sue the state for negligence, saying the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection was delinquent in its duty in allowing Nash's friend Sandra Herold to keep the 200-pound animal as a pet, The Courant reported.
State lawyers referred to a part of state law that says the has a duty to protect residents in regulatory matters but not in instances of person-to-person injury, according to The Courant.
Connecticut requires permission from the state claims commissioner in order for a citizen to sue the state, The Courant said.
Nash was attempting to sue the state for $150 million.
Nash sent a video (above) to the members of the General Assembly's Judiciary Committee in which she makes the claim the state had the authority to seize the chimpanzee from her friend, thereby avoiding the tragedy altogether.
Nash, who is now 60, was blinded, lost both hands and underwent a face transplant after the attack.

A Missouri woman who as a teenager wrote that killing a young neighbor was an "ahmazing" thrill asked a judge on Thursday to overturn her guilty plea, saying she made it under the threat of a lifetime in prison.
Alyssa Bustamante testified in court she wouldn't have pleaded guilty to the 2009 slaying of 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten if she had known about a pending U.S. Supreme Court case involving juvenile murder defendants.
The high court eventually ruled that mandatory life prison sentences for juveniles were unconstitutional. Bustamante's new attorney is citing that case as a reason to undo the plea agreement.
Olten was killed in a rural community just west of Jefferson City. On the night of the killing, Bustamante wrote in her diary that it was an "ahmazing" and "pretty enjoyable" experience.
Bustamante, who was 15 at the time, was charged as an adult with first-degree murder, which carries a mandatory prison sentence of life without the possibility of parole. Shortly before she was to go to trial, Bustamante pleaded guilty in January 2012 to a reduced charge of second-degree murder and was sentenced to life with a chance of parole.
She also pleaded guilty to armed criminal action for using a knife in the slaying and received an additional 30-year sentence to run at the conclusion of her life sentence.
Five months after Bustamante pleaded guilty, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a separate case that juveniles cannot face automatic life sentences without the possibility of parole.
"The threat of (life without parole) as a mandatory sentence was allowed to intimidate Alyssa into accepting a guilty plea she would not have otherwise accepted," her attorney, Gary Brotherton, wrote in documents filed with the Cole County Circuit Court.
Brotherton declined an interview in advance of Bustamante's hearing on Thursday.
Prosecutor Mark Richardson said Bustamante's claims "do not have any merit" and her original sentence should stand.
"Generally, they're very big long shots to try to prove that somehow some bad advice caused a person to plead guilty when they otherwise wouldn't have," Richardson said in an interview ahead of the hearing.
Bustamante's attorney claims her due process rights were violated because the original first-degree murder charge would have resulted in an unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment. He contends in court documents that her actual sentence is similarly unconstitutional because "it does not provide her with any realistic opportunity for release."
At the time of her sentencing, the Missouri Department of Corrections said Bustamante would have to serve 35 years and five months before she is eligible for parole. She's currently listed as a prisoner at an eastern Missouri facility.
Brotherton's court filing also argues that Bustamante's original attorneys provided ineffective advice. Among other things, it says they pressured her during a more than half hour jailhouse visit to make a quick decision to plead guilty to second-degree murder without explaining that a pending Supreme Court case could have affected her range of punishment.
Evidence presented during Bustamante's 2012 sentencing hearing revealed she had dug a shallow grave in the woods several days before the slaying and used her younger sister to lure Elizabeth with an invitation to play. Bustamante said she had a surprise for Elizabeth in the forest but instead strangled her, sliced her throat and stabbed her. After hundreds of volunteers searched for two days, Bustamante led authorities to Elizabeth's body, buried in a wooded area about a half-mile from Bustamante's house.

An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is a series of special x-rays used to examine your kidneys, bladder, and ureters (the tubes leading from your kidneys to your bladder). An IVP helps your doctor evaluate the structure and function of these organs.
MedicationsPlease check with your doctor or testing center for instructions. If you have diabetes, talk to your doctor about taking your routine medication.
DietaryDo not eat or drink anything after midnight on the day of your test. If your doctor or testing center has told you to take your routine medication, you may take it with small sips of water only.
You may be asked to take a liquid preparation and bowel preparation before coming to the testing center.
Inform your testing center if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Please bring:
The technologist will ask you to hold your breath when he or she is taking an x-ray. This will help you stay still, so that motion does not blur your x-ray.
The x-ray machine will make loud, crackling noises during the test. A technologist will help you get into different positions. A compression belt may be placed around your abdomen for some x-rays. The compression belt keeps the contrast dye in your kidneys and ureters. This allows the radiologist to see these organs more clearly.
After the x-rays have been taken, the technologist will help you to the bathroom to empty your bladder. One final x-ray will be taken. The entire IVP series will take approximately 45 minutes.

text: rubregg 45 Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This used to be the first off-topic lounge for the chain games. Back when it started the discussions in here mainly focused on the development of rally races so ever since we've been having the new chain game off-topic lounge, this topic here is solely for -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Chain Game Rallies The chain game rallies are races/challenges that can be done either within a turn of the chain game (the modded saves provide the necessary vehicles in the appropriate garages) or by using the provided stand-alone save files. They are not scripted, so there won't be any markers to pass through (like in the in-game races) and you'll have to take your own time (screenshots). The rallies are meant to be fun and they give players something to do between turns. If you think about giving them a try, don't let the medal standards put you off. They might look insanely difficult at first glance (they surely did for me when OrionSR first suggested them ) but with a bit of practice you'll get there. Feel free to ask about / discuss routes and strategies in this topic, OrionSR and I will be glad to help and get you going. Some rallies have been quite finished and some are still work-in-progress, see below for links to the different sections. In this posting you'll find all currently valid details on the rallies as far as they have been developed. Some details are still subject to change and I'll put a list of unresolved issues and open questions at the end of this posting. The Chain Game Rallies are developed by OrionSR and yours-truly, after an original idea by OrionSR. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents / Links: General Notes Finished Rallies: • Badlands Endurance • Skipping Palomino • Katie Jumps Rallies in Development: • Redsands Westking • SWAT / FBI Vigilante • Minigun Run (working title) Open Issues Last posting in this topic -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Notes: All save files are for the v2 version of the game. If you have v1, make sure you have your v2 scripts installed. Switch your Frame Rate Limiter OFF. All races have been timed with this setting in mind. Rallies marked **** take place in restricted territory. Cheating is easy in all rallies. If you absolutely *have* to cheat, go ahead, we don't care (we might not accept your stunning record though). All this is purely for the fun of it anyway. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basically Finished Events: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [bE] Badlands Endurance Save File: <Badlands Endurance - Alt Garage Camera> Using the modified Bullet provided with the save, complete the following Unique Stunt Jumps and return the black Bullet to the Palomino Creek garage as quickly as possible. Completing the jumps for the bonus is not required, but the jumps must at least be found to trigger the slo-mo camera angles. Jump numbers (#) referenced are from maps provided by dark52. The timer starts with the loading of the save at 00:00, and ends with a screenshot in the Palomino Creek garage. Optionally, the rally can be raced with other gamesaves, and an overall time recorded as the difference in time from the first checkpoint until the car is parked in the garage. Additional screenshots of jumps or other highlights may be included in the finishing screenshot. Checkpoints: Palomino Creek garage (Start) Unique Jump #25 (Palomino Creek) Unique Jump #27 (Montgomery Intersection) Unique Jump #28 (Dillimore) Unique Jump #9 (Unity Station) Unique Jump #13 (Jefferson Pedestrian Overpass) Palomino Creek garage (Finish) Medals: (race starts at 00:00, so finishing clock = race time in minutes) Platinum: 4:00 OrionSR 3:45 (would be 10:47 in the old save - way below 11:00!! Well done!!) Gold: 4:20 rubregg 4:09 (was 11:11 in the old save which loaded at 07:02) Silver: 4:40 Bronze: 5:00 Current Record: OrionSR - 3:45 Achievements: Finish with a gold medal time... Tunnel Rat: ...using a route that includes 2 tunnels. OrionSR Scout: ...using a route without Tunnels. OrionSR, rubregg Frogger: ...using a route that jumps the river twice (checkpoint 1 + another). OrionSR, rubregg Stuntman: ...landing all 5 Unique Jumps for the bonus. OrionSR Rockstar: ...collecting 1 (or more) Bribes. OrionSR Lightweight: ...keeping all of the Bullet's lights intact. Pro-Lap: ...taking a hooker along with you through the complete race OrionSR Notes: In this Rally, exploring different routes, looking for shortcuts and finding new tricks is considered more important than trying to get the the number 1 time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [sP] Skipping Palomino Save File: <Skipping Palomino - Alt Garage Camera> Use the NRG-500 provided with the save to race from the Palomino Creek Safe House to Santa Maria Beach. You have a time limit of 4 minutes and 30 seconds and you have to jump the creek (over water) as many times as possible during the trip. The timer starts with the loading of the save at 16:30, and ends at 21:00 with a screenshot including a Yacht Harbor sign on the pier. Optionally, the rally can be raced with other gamesaves in any 4:30 minute stretch in which case an additional starting screenshot at the Palomio Creek garage has to be included. Additional screenshots of jumps or other highlights may be included in the finishing screenshot. Restrictions: Use a route that does not intersect with itself i.e. the route should not cross over the same spot. The same section of creek/river/channel (subdivided by bridges) cannot be jumped twice in the same direction. Jumps in a different direction but located in the same spot can only be used once. Bridges can only be crossed once. --> also see 'Notes' below Map: Here's a selection of 25 possible jump locations for your route-planning pleasures. [Yes. 25.] Medals: Jump the creek... Platinum: 13 times OrionSR 14, rubregg 14 Gold: 11 times Silver: 10 times Bronze: 9 times Current Record: 14 Jumps - OrionSR, rubregg Achievements: Meet the standard for gold and... Triple: ...score a number of triple insane stunts. OrionSR 3, rubregg 3 Survivor: ...the NRG makes the splash sound during the event. OrionSR, rubregg Roofie: ...jump onto any roof for the finishing screenshot. rubregg Agent Orange: ...finish by 20:15, while the sky is still orange. OrionSR Silver Bullet: Meet the standard for silver with the Bullet from the Badlands Endurance save. OrionSR, rubregg Paranoiac: Meet the standard for bronze while not crossing any bridge on your route. Notes on the rules: Looping to get a good or second run at a jump, or getting back on course after crashing, spinning out or falling off does not count as an intersecting path. Approaching an intersection from the north and turning west, and then approaching the same intersection from the south and turning east (if you cut the corners) does not cross paths. The basic idea of the rule is to keep CJ moving down the river in the general direction of the destination and not jumping back and forth in the same spot. The Yacht Harbor signs were chosen for the finishing screenshot because there's two of them and they're good landmarks near the beach house. Both signs can be seen during the slow-mo for the unique jump onto the pier, but this is not a requirement. If you'd like to pose CJ in an interesting position with the sign in the background, or are desperate to get the screenshot in before time runs out, any screenshot that includes either * Yacht Harbor * Sport Fishing * Boating * cafes sign will do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [KJ] Katie Jumps **** Save File: <Katie Jumps - Alt Garage Camera> This Rally takes place in restricted San Fierro, i.e. you'll have to deal with 4 wanted stars. The provided save file loads at Doherty and you'll be under instant cop fire. Use the NRG-500 stashed at Doherty garage to pick up Katie for a date. The date will automatically fail due to the high wanted level, but Katie will remain on the back of the bike for 6 minutes before she bails and runs off. The goal is to complete as many SF unique stunt jumps as possible and score the bonus with Katie as a passenger. Optionally you can use any game which has San Fierro still locked off. Get into restricted San Fierro, pick up Katie for a date on an NRG-500 and jump away, but keep in mind that you need SF airport access if you want to tackle platinum. Medals: Platinum: 14 jumps OrionSR 14 (), rubregg 14 (), Kusak 14 (video) Gold: 11 jumps Silver: 9 jumps zmoonchild 10.5, cacarla 9 Bronze: 7 jumps Current Record: OrionSR - 14 jumps in 5:42 Achievements: Meet any medal standard and... Triple: ...score a number of triple insane stunts High Noon: ...be at Katie's house in full armour before she's ready (before 12:00) OrionSR 11:57, rubregg 11:57 Greenhorn: ...keep the green NRG intact throughout the race, i.e. don't respray OrionSR, rubregg China Jumper: ...do this extra jump in Chinatown rubregg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some additional suggestions - currently under construction: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [RW] Redsands Westking **** <no save file yet> Get to The Big Ear in the Desert, grab the Sandking there and drive it to the unique stunt jump in Redsands West (jump #66 on the map provided by dark52). The timer starts with you first touching the Sandking and stops as soon as you hit the ramp of the unique jump. Start and finishing screenshots have to be provided. This Rally is supposed to be an introduction to driving in restricted territory and should be relatively easy-going. The Sandking is a very decent vehicle for 4star survival, and the route is not that long, so unexperienced 4-starers can give it a shot too. The unique jump slomo gives enough time for a decent finishing screenshot. Medals: ??? Current Record: OrionSR - 1:27 Achievements: ??? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [VIG] SWAT / FBI Vigilante Do the 'Vigilante' mission in the SWAT-Van or the FBI-Truck and get to the point where you hardly acquire any wanted stars anymore, time is no longer an issue and you could technically go on forever. No save file is required, do it at any point in the (chain) game. All you need is one of the required vehicles. !!! weapon/ammo restrictions might be added !!! Medals: Gold: complete level 40 rubregg, laezy Silver: complete level 28 Bronze: complete level 16 Current Record: rubregg - level 180+ (game crashed in level 186-ish, run documented until level 180) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Minigun Run **** [working title] Another suggestion for an introductory 4-star rally. This one's only here to keep the idea. It hasn't got a save file yet and is, as of yet, NOT part of the Chain Game. Starting from Mulholland (with NRG, Nitro-Bullet, BMX) collect Mini-Gun ammo and the Combat Shotgun from restricted Las Venturas, and then return to Los Santos to save/screenshot in front of any safehouse/garage after clearing the wanted level. Mulholland is selected because of the central access to either the LV bridges, NRG Jump, or the LS airport. Or, skip the Mullholland part (in the spirit of the challenge events) and people can select any location or vehicle. Instead of a time standard for medals, perhaps other achievements could substitute. Medals: (current suggestion) Gold: Spaz, +600 Mini-Gun ammo, and garage a Special Vehicle Silver: Spaz and either +600 Mini-Gun ammo or garage a Special Vehicle Bronze: Spaz and +400 Mini-Gun ammo Special Vehicles include: Sandking, Dune, Sea Sparrow, Turismo, Bullet and Mt.

How to avoid office fashion faux pas
Office dress codes—especially those that include casual Fridays—often create sartorial confusion for young CPAs.
The printed pants stood out, but not in a good way. Rachael K. Sarson, CPA, uses them as a reference point when she thinks about what to wear to work.
"A woman who had a pair of leopard [print] pants wore them to the office. It was a casual Friday, so that wasn't the problem," said Sarson, with Craighead, Lange and Hough in Michigan City, Ind. "Although they were very fashionable … wearing leopard pants to work was not the best choice."
People in her office still talk about those pants, Sarson said. "They're good for the weekend or a night out, but not here," she added.
Making sartorial sense of the office's unofficial rules can be a challenge. How casual is casual Friday or business casual? Relaxed dress codes can lead to choices that negatively affect how young CPAs are viewed by peers and clients.
"Accounting is traditionally a very conservative field. Many firms have strict dress codes in place to adhere to, because that's the norm for the industry," said Emily Burns Perryman, a digital strategy supervisor at Freed Maxick CPAs in Buffalo, N.Y., who has worked for fashion giants Jones Apparel Group and Christian Dior. "That can force HR decision-makers to feel obligated to spell out their expectations when it comes to professional attire.
"Relaxed dress codes or business casual guidelines can often blur the lines even more," she added.
Casual doesn't mean messy
Bobby Schroeder, CPA, a tax manager at Ericksen, Krentel & LaPorte in New Orleans, said his office has dress-down days for special events, such as for the World Cup or Saints game days. Many men ditch their button-downs and wear polo shirts on Fridays. But casual doesn't mean messy.
"We are a professional office, so we do have some standards to maintain," he said. Schroeder said those standards include making sure jeans are proper-fitting and have no holes and ensuring shirts are appropriate for a professional environment.
"Generally, you don't want to attract any unnecessary attention," he said.
Ben Ellingson, CPA, a partner at Eide Bailly in Mankato, Minn., thinks office dress has gotten more complicated because of the trend toward business casual.
"When I started in public accounting in 1999, it was a suit and tie all the time," Ellingson said. "Now we have some clients who ask that we don't wear suits in the field because it intimidates the staff and they see no reason for it.
"They say their whole office has gone business casual and they want us to fit with that," Ellingson said.
Though he wears a suit and tie most days, he advises young CPAs to dress slightly better than the client, without going overboard. Typically a sport coat and slacks or suit and button-down will do, with or without a tie.
Keep a jacket handy
Sarson navigates this tricky territory by keeping a tailored jacket handy.
Dress standards are always in flux in her office, she said. In the winter months, staffers typically wear professional attire, as they meet with a lot more clients for tax projections. But during the summer, it's more casual. Yet even in tax season, she said, staffers wear jeans and T-shirts on weekends.
"I wear my best jeans, with no holes, a shirt that's nice, and flats," she said. "So I can still put my best foot forward, because it's casual but still presentable."
Sarah Langham, CPA, of HoganTaylor LLP in Fayetteville, Ark., has seen young accountants struggle with navigating potential office fashion faux pas. The confusion is natural, she said, when one considers what college students wear: sweats, short shorts, slouchy cargo pants, messy hair, ripped jeans, and pajama pants.
"It's a seismic shift from what they are used to and what they are expected to wear in an office," Langham said. "The expectation, even on a casual day at a CPA firm, is more dressy than you would think. It doesn't mean weekend wear."
But being too buttoned-up can hurt you, too.
"We have clients who are in jeans on Fridays, and if you show up at their office in a suit, they would give you a hard time," she said. "It doesn't matter what your handbook says, if the people you work with and work for dress a certain way, that's how you should dress."
The big thing is to avoid the top fashion mistakes, said Lauren A. Rothman, whose book, Style Bible: What to Wear to Work, spells out no-nos, including frayed hems, poor fit, visible bra straps, noisy jewelry, tottering heels, and questionable hygiene.
"No one is ever intimidated by clean nails, groomed hair, and an appropriate-length skirt," Rothman said. "That will impress anyone, male or female."
Ellingson thinks location makes a difference, too. He sees more suits and ties when he works in the Twin Cities than he did in his former office in Sioux Falls, S.D. "The biggest hurdle," he said, "is addressing the definition of business casual."
Donna Salter, the AICPA's senior manager of young member initiatives, knows what an important issue dress standards can be for young CPAs.
"Clothing is an important external representation of our self-confidence and subtly conveys presence and stature to others," she said. "It's actually an incredible portrayal of our character and—like it or not—expresses something about you without speaking a word.
"Sending the right message is a pivotal and powerful tool in business," she added.

Top ICSI Centres in morbi with options to book your first appointment FREE. Check out all ICSI treatments, Reviews, ICSI Cost, ICSI Success rates and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Process.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a treatment for infertility mostly used as a part of in vitro fertilization (IVF) to help couples conceive. In ICSI, single sperm is directly injected into each of the retrieved eggs through micromanipulation equipment rather than general infusion as part of normal IVF. Once the embryo/s are formed, it is placed directly inside the mother's uterus.
IVF and ICSI are very similar in the sense that in both treatments eggs and sperm are retrieved for external fertilization using artificially clinical techniques. However, in ICSI, specific sperm cells are injected into the egg as against general IVF where sperm and eggs are mixed freely together.
as a first step, the ovaries of the mother are stimulated with medicines to help the growth of follicles in the eggs. Post this the response of the ovaries and final maturation of the eggs is closely monitored.
the mature eggs are retrieved within 35-38 hours under sedation.
motile and healthy sperm are selected for insemination.
the eggs are surrounded by cumulus cells which are removed through delicate enzymes so that they can be finally prepared for insemination.
Most healthy sperm is injected into the matured egg.
the eggs are tested next morning to see if they got fertilized or not.
the embryo, which is chosen for transfer, is passed through the cervix into the uterus through transfer catheter. Normally one embryo is transplanted however in some cases transfer of more than one embryo happens.
After 2 weeks of embryo transfer, pregnancy blood test is done to see if the ICSI procedure has been successful or not.

The Art of Staking Perennials
Article written by Saturday6 blogger Matt Mattus from Growing with Plants
Experienced gardeners pride themselves on their staking skills, which are often developed over years of trial and error. Truth be told, many of us have a longer list of staking fails than success stories. More often than not, we simply forget to stake a plant until it is too late, resulting in a broken stem or crushed plant after something as simple as a brief, summer cloudburst.
Staking is one of those garden chores that often gets pushed to the bottom of ones to-do list, but there are ways to make it less tedious and even fun.
My best advice is for you to prepare a staking kit (HINT - great gardener's gift). My staking list consists of balls of hemp or soft twine, flat, vinyl staking tape (without adhesive - a must for sweet peas), outdoor scissors and lots of bamboo stakes ' I prefer natural tones, 6 feet tall ½ to ¾ inch bamboo, which I order from a garden supply website in cases of 100.
Keep the kit on your back porch, in the garage or on the deck. You can even make this part of your gardening display, using an old galvanized bucket for the tools and materials, and an old umbrella stand or pot for the stakes. The goal here is quick access when you need it.
Like many tasks in the gardening world, there is more than one way to stake a tomato, but with perennials or any flowering plant, you want to take aesthetics under consideration ' no one wants to see a wire cage around a spectacular delphinium.
My first go-to item are those premade gridded rings, which can be placed over and above perennials in late spring, or before the foliage can even reach their height. The goal here is to allow plants to grow into and through the grid, making the gridded ring virtually invisible by the end of June. Since these rings are expensive, I try to add a couple each year to my collection. The rest of my plants need to rely on old-fashioned bamboo canes and twine which involves some craftsmanship. Thin bamboo canes, those found at most garden centers are often too thin and weak. I look for those, which have a diameter wider than a pencil. For a large Dahlia, for example, you will need 2x2 snow fence stakes or even 2x4 posts.
The real art comes in tying plants. Snooty gardeners may turn up their noses at poor staking skills, as many believe that a stake or twine must never be seen. I believe that if you use attractive staking materials, then who cares if one can see it. Truth be told, most plants will outgrow their stakes anyway, and by mid-July, all will be invisible. Better to over stake than under stake.
Here are my secrets to proper staking when using twine:
- Use stakes that are thicker than you think you'll need.
- Find natural twine that is not too thin, as thinner twine will cut through a tender stem. Never use twist ties with wire, for they will cut the stem. Try to use biodegradable materials whenever possible (I do use plastic tape, but I carefully dispose of it at the end of the year.
- When using single stakes, start by tying a knot to the stake, then bring your twine around the stem once, and cross over figure 8-style back to your stake and tie it. The plants stem should be able to move a bit, and grow without being choked, yet it should hold firm in a heavy wind. The first knot on the stake, should be the tightest, but anything around the stem, loose.
- Check every two weeks with tall growing plants, such as Dahlias, to see if additional ties need to be added. Know the final height of your plant, to ensure that your stakes are high enough.
- In perennial beds where you are not using rings, create a grid above plants. A common mistake happens when gardeners use only three or four stakes around a perennial, and then wraps the twine around everything. This may seem sufficient, but by the time the plant matures, a heavy wind and rain, will still push the entire cluster of heavy stems in one direction, resulting in a plant, which looks unstaked. Learn to use six stakes placed in a circle around the plant early enough, so that you can create a grid of twine weaving in and out of the plant. This method works best with phlox, asters, helenium and other weak perennials. Imagine weaving a spider web with holes around 6 to 8 inches wide. It doesn't need to be a perfect, but a complex grid offers more support.
- If you prefer a more natural look, cut branches in the winter from birch, hornbeam or other deciduous trees to use as "pea branches." In spring, you can place them around clumps, bending in the tops by snapping them, creating chimneys of twigs for plants to grow within. Oh, so British!

A Taunton native who didn't let the loss of her right leg stop her from climbing some of the world's largest mountains is now being celebrated by the youth organization that inspired her as a child.
Sarah Doherty, co-founder and owner of Sidestix Ventures, is being honored by Girls Inc. of Taunton at the nonprofit's 8th Annual Woman of Achievement event next Wednesday. Doherty said that she is grateful to be able to grow up in Taunton, gaining life skills and developing as a person at Girls Inc.
"It was like my second home," said Doherty. "It gave me a nice space and the programs to help develop my identity and the strength and skills that I have taken into womanhood. I think any kind of community organization that brings girls together and allows girls, especially preteens, just to comfortably build strengths … is good. I think it was the beginning of developing my girl power, which becomes woman power."
Doherty was riding her bicycle in Taunton at age 13 on her way to a sleepover in 1973 when a drunken driver struck her, resulting in the amputation of her right leg. Doherty, who was a track athlete before the crash, said she returned to athletics through a Girls Inc. swimming program and learned to adapt, gaining the confidence to eventually join the Taunton High School swim team.
"With the loss of my leg, it was a huge struggle, especially as a young teen heading into high school," said Doherty, who now lives in the Sunshine Coast, in British Columbia, Canada. "I did have a good foundation from my community … and also being part of large family working at my father's grocery store. From a very young age, being a member of something like Girls Inc., you realize it takes time to learn skills and perseverance to realize certain goals and eventually they can turn into large dreams. I've never gone anywhere without the community supporting me."
Doherty has gone to the summit of the highest mountain in North America, Mount McKinley in Alaska, making her the first amputee to climb it in 1985. Doherty was also the first woman amputee to climb Mount Rainier in Washington in 1984, using specialized crutches that she designed, in addition to reaching the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and trekking along El Camino de Santiago from France to Spain.
Doherty started adapting climbing equipment for herself while she was a member of the U.S. Disabled Ski Team in the early 1980s.
Doherty, an occupational therapist with three children, co-founded SideStix in 2009 to design, engineer and manufacture high performance crutches with an extensive line of attachments specially made for a range of outdoor activities. The SideStix forearm crutches are now being used by 1,200 athletes, soldiers, bariatric clients and active older people who need them, Doherty said, with the business growing by 30 percent each year since the company started.
"We now sell all over the world," said Doherty, adding that only 10 percent of the products are sold to amputees. "It's been really healthy growth. … It's word of mouth. We are hoping as time goes on, it becomes exponential in our growth. It's been a dream realized. It feels like very meaningful work."
Doherty said that six users of SideStix have been to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, including her trip to the top of the mountain during a SideStix field-testing adventure in 2009.
Doherty also said that Soldiers to the Summit, a group of veterans, took SideStix to Mount Everest and that the product was featured in a 2011 documentary film called "Higher Ground." Doherty said SideStix are now available to veterans being treated at Walter Reed Hospital, in addition to soldiers in Canada.
Girls Inc. of Taunton, based in a building on Arlington Street, said that they are proud to have Doherty speak at the event and to receive their Woman of Achievement award as the organization marks a century in the Silver City.
"We're really excited to have Sarah," said Jessica Johnstone, executive director of Girls Inc. of Taunton. "Her story is so inspirational. For us, it's really exciting to see a member come full circle in the last couple of years, as we are hitting our 100-year anniversary as an organization here in Taunton. To have a member come back in this way is exciting and impressive. To feel that the organization over so many years impacted so many girls — and Sarah is that model member, who has done so much in her life, inspired change and inspired people. It's great to recognize her."
For tickets and sponsorship information for the Woman of Achievement event, which is being held at the Stoneforge in Raynham, contact Girls Inc. at 508-824-9511 or email email@example.com.
Doherty said that she was "blown away" when she was asked to accept the award and speak at the event.
"I was so deeply honored," Doherty said. "It's a privilege to come back and speak on behalf of Girls Inc. about a little of my history in Taunton. The foundation of my life in Taunton has really allowed me to have really the foundation to build character that has allowed me to continue to take further risk and deal with struggles and persevere."

Most of our days are filled with a variety of challenges, which often come with a mix of gifts, frustrations, and everything in between. Then there are the rare days when everything coalesces into this unending day of goodness.
Friday turned into this kind of day. It started out with a string of good happenings. Mary made me cookies. I got the stitches in my back out. (Dermatologist… again.) Pathology report was clear this time (previously was very abnormal but thankfully no melanoma). I received – and immediately deposited – a nice-sized check from a client, which will go straight toward Project Pay Off the Credit Cards when it clears. We got a startling amount of holiday and regular life stuff done. I said on Facebook after that, "It's all gravy from here."
So it turned out there was a lot more gravy to come. That evening, out of the blue Santa showed up at the house in the back of a pickup truck. (I kid you not! It's the South after all.) 'Mrs. Claus' and a band of assorted elvish relatives had come to the door with candy. I was getting ready to go for a run, and Mary took Dale Jr. outside to see. The J-Man at first wanted nothing to do with all this, but then I saw him peek out the window and smile at Santa. I knew he wouldn't walk out there on his own, so I carried him out to the truck to see.
He looked at Santa, then looked at me (In the eyes! Joint attention!) and said, "Santa Claus" and "Ho, ho, ho!" He would alternate between smiling ear to ear and flapping his arms, a clear sign he's very happy. I even coaxed him into the back of the truck, and he sat sort of next to Santa on the tool box in the truck bed. Mrs. Claus said she'd arrange to get us copies of the pictures of this since we told her we hadn't been able to get the J-Man to see Santa (the mall = the center of Hell for him).
What they perhaps saw as a simple act of Christmas family fun going door-to-door in our neighborhood really made our day. We only vaguely know them – they live down the street from us somewhere – and they have no knowledge of our kids or our family circumstances. They were simply practicing a not-so-random act of cheer and joy, and in doing so they gave us a wonderful gift. One thing autism has taught me is that goodness and kindness often come burbling up out of the ground when you least expect it. After they left, I got a great five-mile run in under a crystal clear, star-filled sky in perfect temperatures. I was filled with visions of the J-Man's face lighting up and his own voice telling me about Santa. (Dale Jr. is still at that age of being rather frightened of him.) I ran without effort. I even found myself laughing.
I've been missing my grandmother a lot – she loved Christmas and I loved spending it with her – but I always feel close to her running under the stars. I spent the evening decorating our little "Grandmothers Memorial Tree" on the mantle, listening to Sarah McLachlan, and eating from the mountain of goodies Mary made. I thought of all the Christmases of the years gone by and this wonderful day where people who were essentially strangers brought us joy, a joy our son can now give his own words to.
I understand more each year why my grandmother loved Christmas so much. It's a time for expecting something magical to happen. It was on Christmas Day in 2004 we told her that we'd be having our first child, and I remember how overjoyed she was for us. I always felt safe, loved, and renewed at her house, especially at Christmas. Now we continue adding on to all these memories.
As time for bed on Christmas Eve approached, Mary read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. By the end of the second reading, Dale Jr. had fallen asleep in the living room floor under his blanket. The J-Man was sitting in my lap and drifting off himself.
This is our Christmas present this year, and what wonderful gifts they are.
To all of you – I hope that, however you celebrate them, these days bring kindness, joy, and lasting memories to you and your family.

Now One of New England's Largest Art Galleries
Now One of New England's Largest Art Galleries
WELLESLEY, MA--(Marketwire - Jan 3, 2013) - In 1982, when Phyllis and Robert Totaro opened their art gallery for the first time on August 2nd, they showcased 43 pieces of art in their brand new 1,000 sq. ft. showroom in Wellesley, MA. Today, the gallery occupies some 3,000 sq. ft. and boasts an inventory of about 3,000 original works of fine art. And while galleries all around them have down-sized or closed their doors, J. Todd Galleries has continually grown its offerings and inventory and is now known as a regional leader among New England art galleries.
"Our growth has not been accidental," says Robert. For all of the 30 years, both owners have personally staffed the place, constantly looking for new ways to reach art collectors. "We've done everything from one-person shows to trunk shows to seminars to museum collaborative events," says Totaro. And their line of services has been expanded to include museum quality custom framing, art restoration (http://www.jtodd.com/services.asp?service=9), art appraisal and corporate art consulting. Today, it is a full-service fine art business, where the gallery showroom is just the tip of the iceberg. In its first year, the gallery serviced a ten-mile radius. Now, it does business nationally and internationally, and many collectors drive 100 miles to get there in person. International shipping services are also provided.
The website (www.jtodd.com) has also given the gallery worldwide reach. By surfing its 3rd generation site, a user can now see and get details on over 1,200 images (http://www.jtodd.com/products.asp) online. The gallery also does twice-monthly email blasts and makes itself accessible through social media.
The word "retirement" is not in the Totaros' vocabulary, it seems. "We work just as hard, but a lot smarter than we used to," says Totaro. He describes a small business owner's dream situation. "We make a good living doing what we love, and with every sale we create a happy collector and a happy artist along the way. It's a win-win-win."
The Totaros, now in their 60's, see no end in sight, citing that they have much more fun than their retired friends. "Keeping up with the latest art, decorating and technology trends and always discovering new, young talent, keeps us energized and current," they say.
Visit the gallery at 572 Washington St. in Wellesley, MA or on their website at www.jtodd.com. Call toll-free at 888-565-6554 for details.

STOURBRIDGE boss Gary Hackett says he will not be getting carried away despite his team claiming maximum points from their opening two fixtures.
The Glassboys backed up Saturday's victory against Whitby by coming out on top of a seven goal thriller against Ilkeston on Tuesday night.
The results give Stour the perfect start in their quest for promotion in their first season in the Northern Premier League.
Hackett said: "The key thing to any season is to get points on the board early, which is exactly what we have done.
"The players have performed really well and it has been a good start for us.
"However, we will not get complacent or carried away because it is a long season and both games have been very close.
"It is a new challenge for us and Ilkeston, going forward, had something we haven't experienced before. They were dangerous and attacked with real pace and purpose.
"The players showed a fantastic attitude to come back and win the game after suffering the disappointment of letting the lead slip.
"There is still improvement to come from the whole team and they will get better as the season goes on. We now just want to be taking it one game at a time and not get ahead of ourselves."
Saturday's season curtain-raiser saw the Glassboys claim all three points with a 2-1 win against Whitby at Amblecote.
Captain Sean Geddes capped a fine performance by hitting the winner.
It was no more than the home side deserved after an impressive first half performance that could have seen them go in two or three up at the break.
Instead they only had one goal to show for their dominance and potent attacking threat.
That came on the 19th minute mark when Jordan Fitzpatrick fired past Whitby keeper Shane Bland after collecting in the box following good work down the left flank from star man Ben Billingham.
Despite a Whitby hitting a second-half leveller, Stour fought back to claim the win.
The Glassboys followed that up when they travelled to Ilkeston on Tuesday.
Goals from Kayelden Brown, Jordan Fitzpatrick and Leon Broadhurst gave the visitors a 3-1 lead. Kane Richards scored for the home side.
However, Ilkeston fought back as Richards hit his second and Rob Duffy levelled from the spot.
It was left for substitute Chris Knight to make it 4-3 in the first minute of injury time.
Stourbridge will now face Kings Lynn away on Saturday before taking on Rushall Olympic at home on Monday.
Hackett confirmed that forward Luke Benbow is now back in training with the Glassboys and could be ready for action within a fortnight.
"We won't be rushing Luke back into action," he added. "We have lots of goals in this team already, as has been shown in our first two games. We need to make sure he has fully recovered."

Over time weeping tile systems can become clogged with clay, minerals, sediment or soil that has seeped through the filtration process. Instead of taking the more expensive approach of replacing the entire weeping tile system, we may suggest the excavation and cleaning of your weeping tile by sending 3000 psi at 5.6 gpm of water through the weeping tile and flush out all the clogged particles. Depending on the age of your house will depend on which type of weeping tile your house will have and which tactic we would use to clean it out. If your home is built before 1973, it most likely has a clay pipe weeping tile system with a 90 degree "elbow" shaped pipe at each corner.
Do to the angle of the pipe, sending the line around the corner of your house is difficult, so in order to flush the pipe efficiently we excavate at opposite corners of your home and feed the line in from those locations. If you home has Big "O" weeping tile, feeding the line around the corners of the home is a breeze.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. - Coker College head softball coach David Hanna announced today that Brittany Long, Hannah Price and Katie Lougee have signed national letters of intent to play for the Cobras. They will join the team beginning in the 2014-2015 academic year.
"We are very excited to have Brittany, Hannah and Katie join our softball program starting next year," said Hanna. "All three are talented and add depth and pop to our lineup. Adding Katie Lougee was esepcially important because of our need at catcher. She's excellent defensively and will be a big help right away."
Long, a first baseman and pitcher, comes from Batesburg-Leesville High School in Leesville, S.C. She was a 2012 AA all-region selection, 2012 team MVP and the 2013 Hurler Pitching Award winner for the Panthers.
She is the daughter of Rick and Sherry Long.
Price, a third and first baseman, hails from St. James High School in Surfside Beach, S.C. She was a 2013 first team all-region VIII-AAA selection, 2013 all-state selection and team MVP. She compiled a .484 batting average, .806 slugging percentage, .536 on-base percentage and a .962 fielding percentage during her MVP season.
She is the daughter of Dan and Angie Price.
Lougee, a catcher, comes to Coker from South Brunswick High School in Southport, N.C. Last season for the Cougars, she racked up six RBIs, one double and two triples.
She is the daughter of Robert Paul and Shannon Lougee.

Levi's made the 511 for the modern guy that likes to stay on trend. Between a skinny and a straight fit and are slim cut for a lean silhouette but without being skin tight. The Levi's 511 Slim Fit were voted "best fitting jeans" by GQ.
Since its introduction in 1873, Levis have been synonymous with the word jeans. The Levis brand stands out for the same three things it stood for 140 years ago, that is craftsmanship, innovation and sustainability. With that in mind, Levis is a really remarkable brand. Its unsurpassed craftsmanship, quality engineered denim and the devil in the detail all flow together to maintain Levis iconic status.
If you mention the name Levi's Strauss to anyone you meet, Im sure everyone would recognise it in relation to denim or jeans.
Founded in 1853, Levi's are considered to be the pioneers of denim jeans using rivets to reinforce the seams and make them more durable for farmhands and cowboys. Since then, youll struggle to find a pair of jeans by any brand who dont use rivets and the same techniques as Levi's did all those years ago.
Going from strength to strength through the 20th Century, Levi's jeans became a fashion icon and were endorsed by celebrities such as James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Bruce Springsteen and more recently Barack Obama and Steve Jobs. Whatever the occasion, there is a pair of Levi's to suit everyone.

After using Darac's TourQuam 3-D Face Sculpting Brush, I have one thing to say to all of the other makeup brushes on the market: you should be ashamed of yourselves.
For applying powder products, nothing compares to the TourQuam brush. Nothing.
This Jetsons-esque tool has a magnet hidden in the handle. Because all powders have an iron oxide, magnetic base, this brush attracts the perfect amount of product. Which means no wasting your precious powders. And no more tapping and blowing on the bristles to avoid looking like a character straight outta Kabuki theater. So not necessary.
Seriously…even you unintentionally heavy-handed makeup junkies will be amazed at how this brush keeps your 'more is more' tendencies in check.
Lately, I've been using this brush in tandem with my LORAC TANtalizer Baked Matte Satin Bronzer and Fresh Freshface Blush Powder – and I can honestly say that my golden glow and flushed cheeks have never looked more natural.
Darac TourQuam 3-D Face Sculpting Brush, nothing compares 2 u!
