Geneva Rolls to 7th Straight Victory
Beaver Falls, PA - You don′t need to look any further than College Hill if you′re looking for the hottest team in the American Mideast Conference. Geneva′s women′s team continued to roll on Thursday night with a convincing 73-53 victory over Point Park, its seventh straight win, in improving to 11-2 overall, including a 4-0 mark in the AMC North.
Geneva took just a 12-point lead into the locker room, but extended its margin to as many as 33 points at 71-38 with just under five minutes to play. Point Park scored 15 of the game′s final 17 points to make the final margin much closer than the game itself.
Once again, Geneva enjoyed a very balanced offensive attack led by Allyson Clarke′s 17 points. Renee Rawding added 12 points and Jackie Anthony and Lauren Uranker each chipped in with 10 points in the victory. Point Park got a game high 23 points from Ashleigh Hays.
Geneva, which is the number two ranked defense in the country, allowed Point Park to reach 53 points, which is right at the season defensive average. "We pride ourselves on solid defense," said head coach Ron Galbreath. "I was very pleased with our effort defensively tonight."
Galbreath, who reached his 600th career victory last Saturday night, was recognized by Geneva College for his accomplishments after Thursday night′s victory.
Geneva will have its biggest test of the season next Tuesday night when it travels to Daemen College in a battle for first place in the AMC North. Both Geneva and Daemen sit a top the conference at 4-0. The Golden Tornadoes will return to Metheny Fieldhouse next weekend to host Houghton on Friday and Roberts Wesleyan on Saturday afternoon.

W.O.R.D.S. To Host Second Annual State Poetry Slam
Slam poetry is arguably one of the hottest new forms of creative expression — Penn State W.O.R.D.S. (Writers Organized to Represent Diverse Stories) aims to bring this emerging art form to the Penn State community.
The organization's second annual State Poetry Slam will take place Wednesday, March 15 in the HUB's Freeman Auditorium at 7 p.m. It's the last appearance Penn State's national poetry slam team will make before traveling to Chicago for the annual College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational.
CUPSI is an annual slam poetry tournament hosted by the Association of College Unions International (ACUI). Last year was Penn State's first time competing, and the team fought against dozens of other college teams for one ultimate spot as ACUI champion.
The slam will feature this year's CUPSI team, as well as noted slam poet Siaara Freeman, who will host the event and act as honorary MC. You might even remember this year's team — comprised of poets David Gaines, Abby Kennedy, Davon Clark, and Rabiyatu Jalloh — from last semester's W.O.R.D.S Slam Final in which they each competed for spots on the team. The group will showcase both old work and a variety of new material one final time before the tournament.
If you're interested in helping out Penn State's 2017 CUPSI team get to the competition, you can make a contribution here to aid in covering travel costs for the event. For more information on W.O.R.D.S., feel free to check out its website or learn more about ACUI and CUPSI as a whole by checking out the official webpage.

In 2007, ABB - global leader in power and automation technologies, was contracted to construct and lay the BritNed cable. The BritNed cable was commissioned and handed over to its operational owners, BritNed Development Limited, mid 2011.
Although it lies deep below the sea, the BritNed cable has been at constant risk of damage from shipping throughout the construction phase and it will continue to face this danger now it is operational.
While under construction, damage to the already laid cable segments is particularly difficult to detect. The loss of electricity flow is more obvious after it becomes operational.

Step 2.2: Create the Execution Role (IAM Role)
In this section, you create an IAM role using the following predefined role type and access policy:
AWS service role of the type AWS Lambda – This role grants AWS Lambda permissions to assume the role.
AWSLambdaBasicExecute – This is the access permissions policy that you attach to the role. This Lambda function only writes logs to CloudWatch Logs. So it only needs permission for specific CloudWatch actions. This policy provides these permissions.
For more information about IAM roles, see IAM Roles in the IAM User Guide. Use the following procedure to create the IAM role.
To create an IAM role (execution role)
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/.
Follow the steps in Creating a Role to Delegate Permissions to an AWS Service in the IAM User Guide to create an IAM role (execution role). As you follow the steps to create a role, note the following:
In Role Name, use a name that is unique within your AWS account (for example, lambda-android-execution-role).
In Select Role Type, choose AWS Service Roles, and then choose AWS Lambda. This grants the AWS Lambda service permissions to assume the role.
In Attach Policy, choose AWSLambdaBasicExecute. The permissions in this policy are sufficient for the Lambda function in this tutorial.
Write down the role ARN. You will need it in the next step when you create your Lambda function.

Optus 3G Home Zone
Optus, www.optus.com.au/homezone
Boosts home coverage; free calls
Uses lots of data; can be tricky to set up
$10 or $15 per month
If your home Optus mobile coverage is flaky, relief is at hand thanks to the Optus 3G Home Zone.
Basically a tiny mobile phone tower designed to boost coverage in your home, it plugs into your broadband connection and lets nearby mobiles make calls via your internet connection rather than the mobile network. You can use it with any ISP, but Optus recommends a minimum download speed of 1Mbps and upload of 512kbps to support four simultaneous calls.
The Home Zone costs $10 per month if you're on a $79 per month or higher Optus mobile phone plan. If you're on a lower plan, you'll pay a hefty $15 per month. To sweeten the deal Optus offers unlimited local, national and mobile calls from the primary Home Zone mobile.
This primary phone must use an Optus SIM, but you can add other Optus numbers and, unofficially, the Home Zone supports other providers which use the Optus network. You can pay extra to get the unlimited calls deal for other Optus and Virgin phones authorised to use the Home Zone.
The unlimited calls deal makes the Home Zone more attractive, but there are a few catches. You can only use a Home Zone in an area that has Optus 3G coverage. Alternatively, using a Home Zone in a strong coverage area just to get the unlimited calls is a hassle, because your mobile will only switch over to the Home Zone if it's having trouble connecting to the Optus mobile network. You'll know when you're connected to it because you'll hear three beeps on your phone.
Setup is pretty straightforward, although some customers will need to mess around with port forwarding on their broadband modem. Ask Optus for help and you'll be told to consult your ISP or modem manufacturer.
The amount of broadband data the Home Zone chews through is high. Even with no mobiles connected, Optus says it chews through a whopping 850MB per month. Then allow another 700MB per month for every mobile phone you're using with the Home Zone. This data is not unmetered.
Your mobile phone can also access the internet via the Home Zone, but that means you'll pay for it twice – once on your mobile bill and once on your fixed broadband bill. When you're at home you should be connected to Wi-Fi.
Once all was running smoothly, the Home Zone certainly helped boost coverage around my home – offering five bars in nooks and crannies that otherwise only get one or two bars. Outgoing calls connect faster and are also louder when using the Home Zone.
Macworld Australia's buying advice.
If your Optus coverage is so bad that you need a Home Zone, the smart thing to do is to move to another provider. If you're stuck with Optus then the Home Zone could be the perfect solution to poor reception drop outs.

The idea behind the addition / elimination method is to multiple one or more equations by a constant so when they are added together, one of the variables eliminates. Then you have one equation with one variable and you can solve for that variable.
As an alternative to step 5, and this is extremely helpful when the answer is a fraction or decimal value and not pleasant to work with (I know, I really should stop talking bad about my friends), you can go through the elimination process again with the other variable, and then you don't have to work with the fractions until the check process.
You may have either no solution, one unique solution, or many solutions when solving a 2x2 system of linear equations.
Write your answer as the set containing the ordered pair {(x,y)} (replace the x and y with the actual values).
This would be analogous to a conditional system from section 2.1, certain values of x and y make it true, while others don't.
Consider the system of linear equations 3x + 2y = 17 and 2x - y = 2. The solution is x = 3 and y = 4, so you write the answer as { ( 3, 4 ) }.
Write your answer as "no solution", the symbol for the empty or null set, Ø, or the empty set { }, but do not write it as the set containing the null set {Ø}. Be careful if you're a person who slashes their zeros. Make sure I can tell a zero apart from the null set.
This case occurs when both variables eliminate, and you are left with a false statement.
This would be analogous to a contradiction from section 2.1.
Consider the system of linear equations 3x - 2y = 3 and -3x + 2y = 2. When you add them together, you get 0 = 5, which is a contradiction. Therefore, the answer is "no solution", { }, or Ø
Write your answer as one of the two equations. Do NOT say "many solutions" or "all real numbers". All real numbers will not work. First of all, it the solutions are ordered pairs, not individual x or y coordinates. Second, not every point works, only those on the line work.
You may also write your answer in parametric form. This will be the preferred method for higher ordered systems, so you might as well learn it now.
This case occurs when both variables eliminate, and you are left with a true statement.
This would be analogous to an identity from section 2.1.
Consider the system of linear equations 3x - 2y = 3 and -3x + 2y = -3. When you add them together, you get 0 = 0, which is always true. Therefore, any values of x and y that satisfy the equation are solutions. You would write your solution as
Ever wonder why most all of the problems in an algebra textbook come out with nice integer answers? Is it because life is that way? Certainly not, it is because the problems are contrived to have nice answers.
How do you get a made up problem to have nice answers? The answer is that you don't. You start with the answer and work backwards.
Let's say that we want the answer to be (3,-2).
Make up anything for the left side of the equation, say 2x-5y. Then, plug in x=3 and y=-2, so 2(3) - 5(-2) = 6 + 10 = 16. The first equation is 2x-5y=16.
Now, repeat the process again with a different left side, say 3x+2y. Well, 3(3) + 2(-2) = 9 - 4 = 5, so 3x+2y=5.
Your system of linear equations is 2x-5y=16 and 3x+2y=5.
You can make up anything for the left hand side, just make sure the right hand side is what you get when you plug those values in. You will also need to have two equations if there are two variables, one equation if there is only one variable, three equations if there are three variables, etc.
Up until this point, when we have found the linear regression model, we have just used the functions on the calculator to obtain the results, and it has been fairly easy and painless. Now we learn that the calculator is actually solving a system of linear equations to obtain the model.
The capital Greek letter sigma stands for sum. Normally, there is an index with a starting point (k=1) written below the sigma and an ending point (n, meaning k=n) written above the sigma. Then, each variable will have a subscript to let you know that it is a function or sequence that depends on the value of the index, k.
Confused? Well, maybe you should be. The book doesn't discuss sequences and series until chapter 7, and here you are in chapter 5 and they expect you to know how to do it.
I'm going to use a short hand notation to keep things simpler and easier to remember. Instead of writing it the way the book does, I'll just use a sigma symbol and then what I want to total.
Remember that sigma means sum, so sigma x means add up all the x's.
In statistics, we like to simplify things, and get a little sloppy, and drop all the index stuff and just know that it applies to all the points. In the notation above, I will use the form on the right. ∑x just means add up all the x values. Not too bad when you look at it that way.
Consider the linear model y = ax + b. The values for a and b can be found by solving this system of linear equations.
b∑1 + a∑x = ∑y
b∑x + a∑x2 = ∑xy
Notice each term in the second equation has one more x in it than the corresponding term in the first equation. This pattern will repeat when we do quadratic regression (see problems 105-108 in section 5.3 or Appendix B.3 for an explanation), or cubic, or quartic, or ...
You will add up each variable in the summation for each different point. The first summation is the sum of 1. So, if you add 1 for each point, you will simply have the number of points. The other values are the sum of the x's, the sum of the y's, the sum of the squares of the x's, and the sum of the products of the x's and y's.
Writing these ordered pairs in a columnar table, and then adding columns for the x2 and xy will help. After you solve the system of linear equations, substitute the values for a and b into the equation y = ax + b to get the model.
Find the equation of the linear model that best fits the points (2,3), (5,2), (6,1), and (8,-1).
Set up a table with columns for x, y, x2, and xy.
The numbers in the bottom row represent the sums that go into the system. Since there are 4 points, the ∑1 = 4.
The system of linear equations to solve is 4b + 21a = 5 and 21b + 129a = 14. When you solve that, you get a = -49/75 and b = 117/25.
When you stick those back into the model, you get the y = -49/75 x + 117/25.

What You Need to Know About Home-Improvement Tax Credits
The main thing: Act fast
(See Correction & Amplification below.)
As winter approaches, you may be looking for ways to cut your energy bills. The good news is that the U.S. offers tax credits for many energy-saving home improvements. The bad news: You have to act fast—some of those credits are expiring on Dec. 31. What you need to know:
Journal Report
Read the complete Energy report.
What improvements are covered by the expiring credits?
Homeowners can get a tax credit for installing certain wood or pellet stoves; energy-efficient furnaces, water heaters and air-conditioning systems; insulated roofs, windows and doors; and wall and ceiling insulation. The tax credit covers 30% of the purchase costs, up to $1,500. (For a full list, check the Energy Star website at www.energystar.gov.)
Is the installation cost covered?
The cost of putting in heating and air-conditioning systems, water heaters and biomass stoves is, but installing new windows, doors, roofs and insulation isn't.
Can I use the tax credits for improvements in a vacation home?
Sorry, no. The improvements qualify for an existing home that is your primary residence, even if it is a houseboat or mobile home. But rentals, vacation homes and new construction aren't eligible.
With time short, what improvements make the most sense?
Upgrading your heating and cooling, which can be as much as 50% of the average home's energy bill. If your furnace or boiler is more than 10 years old, this may be the ideal time to replace it. All improvements must be in place and equipment in service by Dec. 31 to qualify for the tax credits.
What improvements can be done relatively cheaply?
Adding insulation. If you choose to insulate just the area where your family spends most of their waking hours, for instance, the cost will be low but your family will be much more comfortable. And often insulation is a do-it-yourself project, so you save on labor costs.
Am I going to have trouble finding a contractor on short notice?
Not only are contractors available, but many of them are using the expiring tax credits as a marketing tool, according to the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. You can find qualified contractors at the association's website, www.nari.org. Many of the contractors have the equipment and materials ready to go, and you'll be helping workers in an industry badly hit by the recession.
Will a new dishwasher get me some tax credits?
Appliances don't qualify, but appliances carrying the Energy Star seal will help reduce your energy bill. Also, many states and local utilities are offering direct rebates—no need to wait for tax returns—on some appliances. Check www.energysavers.gov to see details of programs in your state.
Might the program be reinstated for future tax years?
Legislation has been introduced to extend the tax credits, but experts say it is unlikely Congress will pass it before the end of the year.
Will I be able to handle this on my tax return without having to call on an expert?
The form is simple. Just make sure you save the manufacturer's certificate that states the equipment or service is eligible under the program. If not available with the product, the certificates can also be found on the websites of the manufacturers.
I'm subject to the alternative minimum tax. Will I still be able to qualify for this tax credit?
These credits can be used to offset the AMT, says Gary R. Price, tax partner with Sensiba San Filippo LLP, an accounting firm in the San Francisco Bay area.
Are there any tax incentives for rooftop solar-power systems?
Yes, and they are far more generous. Federal tax credits for solar-energy, small residential wind turbines and geothermal pump systems cover 30% of all costs—installation included—with no upper limit. These are good on both primary homes and vacation homes, new construction or otherwise. And they don't expire until 2016.

Correction & Amplification
Federal energy-efficiency tax credits for home improvements like new insulation and furnaces can't be used to reduce your tax bill if you're subject to the alternative minimum tax. This article incorrectly states that the tax credits, which expire Dec. 31, could be used to offset the AMT. But credits for residential renewable-energy projects—involving solar panels or small wind turbines, for instance—can offset the AMT.

I really hate just blogging about nails all the time, i do want to blog about makeup and fashion too.
So today i'm blogging about my daily makeup routine and what i just have to use everyday.
I do use more makeup products if i'm going out, i will defiantly use lipstick and maybe false lashes.
But today is just my regular routine.
I first start off with my face. I always apply Primer (not pictured) before my foundation to smooth my skin and stop my foundation going into my pores and causing more spots and acne.
I use Dream Matte Mouse in Nude as my everyday foundation. I love it and i believe it is the best foundation i have tried. I also use concealer to cover spots better and to make under my eyes lighter.
I use my AVON eyebrow kit next for my eyebrows. It contains a brown eye-shadow like pigment and a wax to seal the colour in. I only really colour in the fron of my eyebrows and this works a treat. Highly recommend this if you need to fill in your eyebrows if they're slightly thin in areas.
I use Collection liquid eyeliner in black to do my flicked eyeliner. It has got a very thin brush and is easy to do a flick with. Also, it is liquid eyeliner, therefore it says much better throughout the day compared to pencil liner. I also use Collection Big Fake ultimate for my lashes. It has a thick, long brush so it lengthens the lashes and darkens them. Usually, any mascara i use only does one or the other, so i really love this mascara.
Next, i use Rimmel Clear Complexion powder to seal my foundation. It is like the next step to getting smooth skin, it smooths the foundation and keeps your face from getting shiny. I use this brush from my SheInside brush set, it is really soft and the large surface area of it makes it best to apply powder.
I have to use my Burt's Bees favourites everyday. I love the pomegranate lip balm, i have two!, and the cuticle cream is just perfect. I try to use it every morning to keep my cuticles from getting dry and plus it just smells delightful.
I hope this is helpful! I actually really enjoyed writing this post!
Love, Yasmin xoxo

Privacy is a big issue these days. You need to tell people where you are so they can buy your goods, but do you need to leave your details exposed for longer than they need to be?
Once your address is printed in a newspaper, it can't be removed after your sale. Some garage sales web sites keep your address viewable to the public well after your garage sale is over. And if you advertise a week or two in advance, I've had feedback that some enterprising buyers try to look at your stuff days before every one else.
Egaragesales includes a number of unique features which ensure your street address is only displayed for as long as necessary to invite people to your garage sale. These features include:
At Egaragesales, we believe we provide a safe and secure way to advertise your garage sale. You can advertise well in advance knowing you won't be bothered unless you want to be. And your garage sale address won't appear months later in a cached Google Search result.

James Cameron's BATTLE ANGEL Update: A 14 Year Old ANGEL OF DEATH!! Tests Continue!!
Jim here. Got some news from one of my top sources in the Cameron camp and man oh man does BATTLE ANGEL ever sound Kick. Ass.
On what is happening right now for ANGEL:
Make no mistake this is the movie your website will be pursuing in time to come. The tests are "Beautiful" and "Complex" beyond your wildest dreams. Stunningly beautiful, considering the fact that some are old(ish). Imagine this for a second. A cyborg chick "the Angel of Death" taking out "a lot" of other part man, part machine type "people".
We do indeed plan on staying with Cameron believe us! AVATAR is the training ground for BATTLE ANGEL and I can't wait to see the ideas he has for it.
On what those tests contain:
Now picture the "Angel of Death" looking like a child. a 14 year old. Now imagine this, this little girl goes through these guys like butter. Did you see the KICK-ASS trailer? Well imagine that girl via the Matrix via Ghost in the shell, via AI. "Remember the True Lies bathroom brawl?" Well take out Arnold, and "copy and paste" Bruce Lee on acid via the Terminator. as seen through the eyes of a sweet innocent 14 year old cyborg girl. And all of this done via the mind of James Cameron, Holy shit what is not to love? The lights flicker and shit hits the fan. Awesome stuff.
With performance capture and CG anything is possible. That includes using an underage actor in very VERY violent scenes. This would be cutting edge stuff and who better to pull it off?
On Angel's future: You will be hearing the phrase "Angel of death" a lot in time to come. At least judging from the level of involvement now. I bet Angel will go green soon. The only thing I can see setting back Angel is Avatar. And you know why that is don't you.
ANGEL OF DEATH is a potential alternative title as it is what she is also known as. But I think BATTLE ANGEL will stick. AVATAR has potential sequels written all over it of course and that may be the next project for Cameron depending on studio and audience pressure after the massive response to AVATAR is felt. But you can count on BATTLE being made, big time.
Obviously casting for Angel is key. I am curious to know who you think would make a great Battle Angel? Choices are limited as the character is only 14 years old, but I have a few ideas. I had heard rumors that Cameron already has his Angel - but that was some time ago. Haven't heard anything since.
And we know from a MarketSaw exclusive interview with designer James Clyne that there is a VERY real possibility of BATTLE having some gladiatorial aspects of future sports and a wide social gap of the "have and have nots". And further that BATTLE ANGEL will have many different looks (new faces, bodies, and outfits) as she evolves in the movie. We learned from yet another MarketSaw exclusive interview with Mark Goerner that the movie follows and even amplifies Kishiro's original vision of BATTLE ANGEL.
Other stereoscopic 3D projects to watch that may closely resemble BATTLE ANGEL are APHRODITE IX and Spielberg's GHOST IN THE SHELL. All of them have young female cyborgs kicking some serious butt. Interesting how they line up after something that catches Cameron's eye.
I am thrilled to learn that Cameron is still doing tests for BATTLE. These tests are very, VERY secure - but we have the best sources on the planet so YOU get the updates! Stay here with MarketSaw for the latest and greatest on all things James Cameron AND 3D.

LINDEN — Dentist Dr. Anatoly Bensianoff is helping residents of Linden and the surrounding communities by offering free emergency dental treatment on Wednesday, Sept. 14, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Dr. Bensianoff notes that many people have lost their dental coverage due to the bad economy and are having to forgo dental care, which puts them in danger of tooth decay and gum disease that contributes to problems associated with diabetes, liver and heart problems.
The free dental treatments will be given at Dr. Bensianoff's office, Magic Smile Dental, which is located at 515 N Wood Ave # 102, Linden.
The Emergency Dental Treatment Day is designed to treat anyone (adult or child) for free who cannot afford dentistry.
"Anyone with a dental emergency or in need of a cleaning, who cannot afford it otherwise, will be provided with Emergency Dental Treatment at no cost on a first-come, first-served basis," explains Dr. Bensianoff. "I would like to do my part as a dentist to help and hope others will join me in this effort by spreading the word."
Dr. Bensianoff adds, "We will be conducting free emergency dental treatment in Linden periodically throughout the year to help the less fortunate in our community."
Details of Dr. Bensianoff's other community events can be found online at: http://lindennjdentist.com/index.php/category/community/
"In a troubled economy that affects many Americans, the spirit of giving to others is needed now more than ever. I hope that people with dental emergencies who could not afford dental care will find out about this free offer," Dr. Bensianoff concludes.

The following documents require particular attention from notaries:
Ohio Vehicle Titles
This document is very often completed incorrectly for private sales between individuals, resulting in the need (and expense) to obtain a duplicate title. Important points to remember:
Do not complete any of the spaces, or sign the title, until the notary is present. Any erasures or other alterations to the title WILL VOID IT!
Make certain the deal is going to be completed before executing the Assignment of Ownership. The buyer does not need to be present for the seller to complete the Assignment section; but, the seller must have the name and address of the buyer in order to complete the section and have their signature notarized.
All signers must personally appear before the notary! NO exceptions! They must sign exactly as their name appears on the front of the title as the vehicle owner. If multiple owners, both must sign, akthough not necessarily at the same time. One owner can be notarized separately if necessary, in another location and separate date. A loose jurat certificate must be attached to the title document for the second notarization.
If the owner has had a name change, they may sign the document Mary Smith FKA Mary Jones. FKA means Formerly Known As, and shows that both names are the same person. The signer must provide ID in their current name.
Both the Assignment of Ownership and Application for Title sections are SWORN statements by the signers, that the information they are providing for the title transfer is truthful and correct. This includes the buyer's name, the odometer reading, and the ACTUAL sales price. The two sections can be completed separately, but each signer must be ID'd, given an oath/affirmation, and sign in the presence of the notary; the signature cannot be acknowledged days or weeks after it was executed.
The Assignment of Ownership section signature(s) cannot be notarized with any blank spaces on the section.
Note that there is no such thing as an "open" title for a private sale. The seller cannot just sign over the title to the buyer, and have it notarized later.
Again, the seller MUST appear, show ID, complete all spaces, be sworn, and sign before the notary. This is the reason the state requires notaries for this process – to prevent fraud. Otherwise, someone could steal a title document, forge a signature as the seller, and then acquire a new title. The only exception to this is if the signer has executed a Power of Attorney form permitting a third party to act and sign on his/her behalf. This POA form is available at all BMV locations or their website, and must also have a notarized signature.
Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney
These two important documents go hand-in-hand, and everyone should have both of them. They are essential to conveying your wishes regarding your health care, and for designating a family member or other person of your choice to make health decisions on your behalf if you become unconscious or incapacitated.
These documents are readily available from the Ohio Department of Health website, senior citizen centers, county agency on aging, or the social services departments of most health care facilities. Please don't wait until you're already in the hospital, or very ill. If the notary cannot determine that you are aware of, and fully understand, what you are signing, the notarization cannot legally be completed. Get these documents completed BEFORE you need them, and have copies available whenever you enter a health facility. This provides you and your family the peace of mind of knowing your wishes will be followed.
General or Financial Power of Attorney
This is another very important document that permits a person/agent of your choice to handle your financial and personal affairs in your absence, or if you are unable to. These may include your bank accounts, securities, home mortgage, and other essential activities. A POA is a very powerful instrument that should be drawn up and executed with the utmost care and consideration. While there are generic forms available at local stores and on the internet, these may not necessarily be compliant with state or county requirements.
Always check with your financial institution to determine what format they will accept in the handling of and access to your accounts; they may also have their own POA form that they prefer you use. It is always best that this form be drawn up to your specific wishes by an attorney - it's well worth the cost to ensure it is done properly, and to avoid potentially unpleasant surprises later.
Again, Ohio law requires that the document signer is signing freely, without any coercion. If the notary is not satisfied that the signer is fully aware of the document content, and signing it freely, then the notarization cannot occur.
Copy Certifications
In Ohio, notaries are not permitted to directly certify, or affix a seal to, copies of documents, photographs, or anything else not involving asignature. However, the person providing the document copy can make a written statement attesting that the copy is a true reproduction of the original, and then have their signature notarized on that statement, which is then attached to the copy. The statement can also be made and signature notarized directly upon the copy if requested by the signer.
Please note that this does NOT include U.S. vital record certifications such as birth, death, marriage, or divorce. Certified copies of these documents can only be obtained from the county health department or court jurisdiction where they were originally filed. Additionally, copies of U.S. military IDs cannot be copied or certified.
Note that the signer must be asked which type of notarization they prefer, and the proper notarial certificate provided with the signer's statement.
Last Will & Testament
If a person dies without a will, the state will determine what happens to the assets they spent a lifetime building, and it may not be in the way they would have wanted. In Ohio, testator signatures on wills are NOT notarized. The signature(s) are witnessed (by two unrelated, and completely disinterested persons) rather than notarized, although the witness signatures may be notarized if requested.
I-9 Forms
These Homeland Security forms are frequently presented to notaries by Ohio residents who are employed by out-of-state companies, with a request to notarize them. The document does not contain a notary certificate; it asks that the person's ID documents be verified, and the employee also signs the certificate.
Notaries are usually sought for this form due to their familiarity with verifying IDs; BUT, the I-9 is not a notarizable document.
You MAY sign as a third-party "Authorized Representative" of the company, that you have verified the IDs. But you should not sign an I-9 as aNotary Public, nor affix your seal to this document, or any accompanying document that asks you to certify as a notary public.
Signing with a Power of Attorney
A person may sign on behalf of another person by authority given them through a Power of Attorney. If Mary Smith is signing on behalf of her absent husband, she would sign the document "John Smith by Mary Smith, his Attorney-in-Fact", or "POA".
Your notary certificate should show that Mary signed for John in her representative capacity of Attorney-in-Fact.
Two important points: 1) If the document is an Affidavit, requiring administration of an Oath/Affirmation, Mary cannot take an Oath for her absent husband in her representative capacity as Attorney-in-Fact, and an acknowledgement notary certificate must be used for John'snotarization, showing Mary's representative capacity in his behalf, and that she did not take an Oath/Affirmation.
If Mary is also signing the document, she WILL take the Oath/Affirmation for herself, and the proper jurat certificate is shown on the document confirming the Oath was given to her. So in this example, separate acknowledgement and jurat notary certificates for both Mary and John would be attached to the document.
2) The notary does NOT need to see the Power of Attorney document, or attempt to verify its legitimacy. This can be considered UPL. You are there to properly notarize signatures, nothing else, and must accept the word of the POA signer. Determining the validity of the POA is the responsibility of the Document Originator, who will decide if the POA meets their criteria when they receive the documents.
Help Is Available
In the Columbus area, if you have questions or need assistance with a Living Will, Power of Attorney, Last Will & Testament, or other legal documents, contact an attorney. The Capital University Legal Clinic at (614) 236-6245, and Legal Aid at (614) 224-8374 are also agencies you can turn to. Social Services staff at health care facilities may also be able to assist. Additionally, legal help statewide for those over 60 is available from ProSeniors at (800) 488-6070.
Check with your local senior citizens center or county agency on aging for additional resources, or if you have limited income. The Columbus Bar Association also operates a lawyer referral service if you don't have an attorney. Similar agencies are available throughout Ohio.
Please note:
Notarization of a signature does not make a document "legal"; it simply means the signer personally appeared to the notary, provided ID, was aware of the documents contents and signed the document freely, and was administered an oath/affirmation if required, in addition to the other required elements for notarization (see "Notarization Elements" tab).
Unless also an attorney, a notary public may not provide legal advice, or otherwise engage in the unauthorized practice of law (UPL).

Shailene Woodley's Pretty Pixie & Sexy Smokey Eye At 'Divergent' Premiere
Shailene is ready for her close up! She stunned at the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie 'Divergent' on March 18. Get her sexy beauty look below!
Held at the Regency Bruin Theatre in Los Angeles, Calif. on March 18, Shailene Woodley, 22, hit the ground running. The actress is poised for super-stardom when her flick hits theaters on March 21. She looked gorgeous on the red carpet at the premiere. Copy her beauty look with our tips below.
Shailene Woodley Makeup At 'Divergent' Premiere — L.A. Lovely
Wearing an Elie Saab Couture gold gown, Shailene looked amazing.
Her adorable pixie cut was gelled close to her head, which really showed off her amazing bone structure.
Get Shailene's Smokey Eye
Shailene told the April 2014 issue of Teen Vogue that she prefers all natural makeup and almost exclusively uses the brand 100% Pure.
"I think it's crucially important for us as human beings to remember that we are nature and that we're not separated or divided from it. If I'm living and breathing and gaining the respect and the generosity of trees, pumping oxygen into the air then I feel like I should respect them and do everything I can to make sure that I'm living with integrity," Shailene told the magazine.
You can get a look similar to Shailene's premiere look by using the 100% Pure Black Tea Long Last Liquid Eye Liner. The liner is natural, vegan and gluten-free, plus the black tea leaves in the formula deliver nutrients like antioxidants and vitamins. It's long lasting, won't rub off and is fine to use if you have contacts.
Be sure to finish off with a bunch of coats of your favorite mascara!
Did you love Shailene's beauty look at the L.A. premiere, HollywoodLifers?

55 Days Left In Our Advocacy Campaign: Let's Share Stories of 55 More Binational Couples to Defeat DOMA in the Court of Public Opinion
- At May 5, 2013
- By The DOMA Project
- In Featured, News
- 2
We are looking for binational couples to join our campaign. Your story is a vital part of winning this struggle.
What should our story say? What should we share?
How you share your story is entirely up to you. Here are some suggestions that we feel make for a fuller story for the readers:
- Tell us how you and your spouse/partner met, fell in love, and decided that you wanted to spend the rest of your life together.
- Describe the sacrifices you've made as a couple to be together or to see one another.
- Share how DOMA has affected your life. What would your future be like if you were treated the same as any other married couple?
- Provide pictures or videos: images help establish an emotional connection between you and the readers, making it easier to relate to personal stories.
Your testimonials, videos, photographs will help us put discrimination into terms that everyone can understand: its cruel impact on individual couples and families. Anyone interested in getting involved to help raise awareness of the impact of DOMA on binational couples should contact us at [email protected] or via our contact form.

If DOMA is overturned end of June, still will take at least 9 months to receive a fiance visa interview. In a desperate situation, what list of countries are available to reside in temporarily at least until the time of the interview. Specifically countries nearest the United States that accept both US and Bangladeshi citizens.May 10, 2013

Being a business owner or Entrepreneur can be a huge challenge, from trying to balance your commitments to get your business to a point where it can deliver the lifestyle and the freedom you desire, to trying to create the time to spend with your family.
It can feel like a game of tug of war, can't it?
The pursuit of owning your own business can leave you stressed, burned out and exhausted; you're disconnected from your partner and kids, which is the exact opposite of what you wanted when starting the business. Your spending so much time working in the business than on it that you're reactive to challenges and situations where if you just had more time they could have been avoided. Perhaps you feel you are existing rather than living and it frustrates the hell out of you.
Well, great new that where I come in, all too often time is not the issue, it is that you lack the correct strategies in maximising your productivity and performance as well as learning the tools on how to develop a stronger mindset.

Japanese PM Shinzo Abe's government approval rating falls to lowest ever 35%Rate this title
Public support for the PM drops to record low after US support war-mongering amendment to pacifist constitution
In 1947, the new Japanese Constitution, also referred to as the 'MacArthur Constitution', because of the American commander's influence over its creation, was implemented. The United States had fought and occupied the archipelago during WWII with the primary objective being to ensure Japan would not go to war again. Article 9, which Shinzo Abe is attempting to rewrite in order to facilitate greater Japan/US relations, and a move which has US President Barack Obama's "strong support", was originally written with the sole purpose of guaranteeing that Japan would never use war to settle international disputes.
"Article 9. Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as a mean of settling international disputes. (2) In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized." - The Constitution of Japan, (1947)
Abe's proposition would see the Japanese military, better known as the Self Defense Forces, engaging in active combat for the first time in 70 years. Japanese citizens, often derided for their aversion to public displays of emotion, are coming together to raise their collective voice in protest.
Over the weekend, thousands of protesters opposed to Japan's potential involvement in international combat, gathered around Japan's parliament. They were united under a common philosophy: Abe's 'proactive pacifism', his desire to defend allies under attack, primarily the United States - could be Japan's undoing.
Adding to Mr. Abe's descent is Zaha Hadid's Olympic stadium (Tokyo). The Japan Sport Council, which operates the stadium, announced an extra ¥19 billion (153 million USD) would be needed to "build supplemental facilities for the new main stadium after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics".
The stadium, already held in public disdain due to its ever-increasing costs, was now estimated to carry a price tag of ¥252 billion (2 billion USD): more than ¥87 billion (700 million USD) above its initial estimate.
In an effort to release the downward tug of the sinking stadium, Abe announced on Friday he would be walking away from the beleaguered structure. "I've decided to send the current plan for the new National Stadium . . . back to the drawing board, I made the decision today because I'm firmly convinced that (a new stadium) will be completed by the opening of the Olympic and Paralympic Games". The Japan Times added that Mr. Abe said the redesign would cause Japan to "renege on its promise to use the venue for the 2019 Rugby World Cup because the new stadium won't be built in time".
On Sunday, The Mainichi newspaper released details of its polls, conducted on July 17 & 18, following the contentious security bill being "rammed" through the House of Representatives.
"Public support for the Cabinet of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has plunged to 35 percent…down 7 points from the previous survey on July 4 and 5".
The new rating is the "lowest level seen since Prime Minister Abe returned to power in December 2012".

A is for Appreciation
Appreciation for the many little things we often take for granted...like having food to put in our tummy before hitting the bed, Sleeping undisturbed through the night, waking up 'peacefully' when we feel like, stretching our limbs and having them oblige gracefully, walking, talking, breathing unaided, having food in the fridge, money in the purse, additional money in the bank, a job to go to, hobby to enjoy, a family to love, friends, shelter over your head, means to access good healthcare, etc. Those are just a tiny fraction of the daily blessings we enjoy.

This beautiful woman is not photographed very well and it is disappointing. There is far too much light shining on her obviously augmented breasts. The background is far too bright to create any contrast with her skin tone. Quite disappointing.

Another sunbather image to celebrate the wonders of summer.
Note that the sand in the image matches the models skin and is offset well with the yellow blanket. Also, the pale yellow panties create a nice tie-in. Unfortunately the photographer wasn't watching his own shadow and allowed that to fall into the image – very poor technique and it practically ruins the image for want of the the beautiful woman.

On these warm sunny days, can you blame this nude model for catching some extra sunshine?
I like the bright towel that she is laying on and the effect it has on the coloring of her skin. Also, the placement of her hand draws attention to it and makes one think of other possible contortions the model is capable of producing.

"Every day is a great day at the ranch."
Living at Daybreak Ranch is like living in a state park. The wildlife, the peaceful Brazos River views, the quiet setting and the constant changing seasons unfold like the backdrop to a great old western movie. Every day there is something new to see. It is easy to imagine the buffaloes that once grazed along the river below and the Indians who hunted them. This is the historic cattle drive country characterized in the movie Lonesome Dove, and both Goodnight and Loving once drove their cattle to market in this area. We gladly moved here as soon as we retired in 2005.

Barry Diller Out at Live Nation
Live Nation CEO Irving Azoff may replace him.
Live Nation chairman Barry Diller will step down from his position, saying in a statement: "I have always said, since the merger of Ticketmaster and Live Nation, that I only planned to stay as chairman through the transition and integration of the two companies. It's been almost a year and I informed the board today that while there was no rush, the board should start the process now to appoint a new chairman." The Hollywood Reporter, however, speculates that Diller's move stems from a power struggle with other members of the board. Irving Azoff, Live Nation CEO and all-around-hilarious dude, is seen as a likely candidate for the position. Does any of this mean lower ticket fees? Probably not! [HR]

A similar scenario played out in Australia and India as the seemingly invincible Brisbane Roar and Dempo SC were deposed from top spot as a horror run of outs continued. In Thailand a new dynasty could be commencing as Buriram PEA etched their name on the championship trophy in the first stage of a possible treble. The dreams of cup glory were ended for some of Japan's aristocrats while FIFA.com's weekly review of club football in Asia and Oceania also pays a visit to Iraq and New Zealand.
Australia A-League: New faces in front
Brisbane Roar's astonishing freefall continues unabated with the leaders finally toppled from their perch after suffering a fourth successive defeat, following their record-breaking of 36 matches undefeated. This time it was Central Coast Mariners who quelled the Roar with a 2-1 victory in a rematch of last year's epic grand final. The Roar are now just two points clear of Melbourne Heart and Sydney FC, both of whom enjoyed 2-1 wins on the road against Perth Glory and Newcastle Jets respectively.
Big game: Adelaide United's 3-0 home defeat against fellow cellar-dwellers Gold Coast United precipitated the departure of their Dutch coach Rini Coolen. Returning to the hot seat is John Kosmina who was at the helm at the club's inception in 2003 and will start his tenure with a trip to another former club, Sydney FC.
Headline-grabber: Liberian refugee Teeboy Kamara became the youngest player in the A-League's short history when he took the field for hometown club Adelaide. At just 15, Kamara, who is already a veteran of this year's FIFA U-17 FIFA World Cup, beat the previous mark by almost a full year.
India's I-League: Dempo's plunge continues
Dempo SC lost control of top spot after suffering a third straight defeat; this on the back of seven successive wins to open their campaign. Air-India came away with a 2-0 victory with Manandeep Singh's goal setting them on their way. Benefiting from the plummet of the former champions were Churchill Brothers who demolished Shillong Lajong 6-0 with Henri Antchouet bagging a treble, to go two points clear at the top.
Big game: Reigning champions Salgaocar collected three much needed points as Ryuji Sueoka's lone strike ended a run of four matches without victory. The slim 1-0 victory over winless Hindustan Aeronautics took Salgaocar into midtable but still 11 points off the summit.
Headline-grabber: Well-supported Kolkata clubs Mohun Bagan and East Bengal share third, three points from the top, after both spurned the opportunity to put pressure on the leaders by being held to draws against Goa and Indian Arrows respectively.
Muang Thong United's two-year reign as Thailand champions ended in emphatic fashion as Buriram PEA assumed the throne with four rounds to spare. The ambitious club, who added former Melbourne Victory midfielder Surat Sukha and Cameroon U-20 international Franck Ohandza to their roster this season, are 16 points clear following a 3-1 victory at Royal Thai Army. The former Ayutthaya-based club, previously named Provincial Electricity Authority, are also still in the running for both the League and FA Cups. The race is on for second as both Chonburi and Muang Thong remain in contention after weekend victories, with the former having a three-point lead although Robbie Fowler's team have two matches in hand.
Japan's Emperor Cup is edging closer to its traditional New Year's Day denouement with several big scalps claimed in the Round of 16. Kawasaki Frontale tumbled out with a 1-0 loss to J.2 side Shonan Bellmare, while seven-times J.League champions Kashima Antlers did likewise against Kyoto Sanga. Yokohama F. Marinos scored the biggest win with a 4-0 triumph over third tier Matsumoto Yamaga, with Yuji Ono scoring a hat-trick. The biggest match of the round is yet to take place with FIFA Club World Cup participants and newly crowned league champions, Kashiwa Reysol, facing last year's J.League kings Nagoya Grampus on Wednesday.
In Iraq, forward Jasim Mohammed Sulaiman struck the opener while playmaker Wissam Zaki was also on target as leaders Duhok came away with a 2-0 triumph at Kirkuk to maintain their unbeaten run after eight rounds. The outcome saw them lead the 20-strong standings with a three-point cushion ahead of Al Shurta, who have a match in hand. At the opposite end of the table, winless Kahrabaa remain rooted to the bottom after losing 3-2 at Bagdad SC - their seventh defeat from eight starts.
In New Zealand, Auckland City will go into the mid-season break with a handy three-point lead and a match in hand over their nearest rivals. The Oceania champions returned from the FIFA Club World Cup and maintained their perfect record with a 3-0 triumph over Otago United, although two goals came during injury time. Perhaps of equal importance was a rare loss for city rivals Waitakere United who went down 2-1 at Canterbury United, with the pair now sharing second.
Leaders toppled, new challengers emerge

University of Toronto Press has published Quest Social Sciences Tutor Dr. Kaija Belfry Munroe's book, Business in a Changing Climate: Explaining Industry Support for Carbon Pricing. The publication is the first book to ask major pollution emitting industries in Canada what their preferences are with respect to climate change. Kaija shared some insight about her book.
Q: Congratulations on the publication of your new book! What questions did you start with when you began your research?
KM: My initial question was why Canada had done so little when it came to climate change. My bias as a political scientist was that it must be a business/government relations problem. The 2008 National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy released a report calling for carbon pricing. The media immediately slammed the report calling it a carbon tax, and Stephen Harper's government sharply denounced it. However, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers came out widely in favor of carbon pricing. My question then changed to why they made that decision and how do businesses decide what to lobby for with the government.
Q: What was your research background, and did this new question require different methodological tools?
KM: I came from a political science background and applied a very scientific method to look at what causes variation in organizations' preferences for policy outcomes. I realized during my interviews with CEOs that they didn't see the question the way I did. None of my hypotheses covered their most basic concern, which was about risk. In political science there is an equation (probability x consequences = risk). I was speaking a different language because CEOs understand risk as the possibility that you won't achieve your expected return on investment. I had to learn about risk and business methodology on my own. If you consider that businesses have 40–50 year amortization periods and investor demands for consistent returns, then it becomes clear why they would favor the stability and certainty of a carbon pricing system, even over the possibility of increased costs.
Q: Did any new questions arise while writing the book?
KM: The question of what risk was in a business context arose, but also how does that relate to a political context. In the political environment, the government creates the rules and regulations under which businesses operate. Change makes it difficult for them to make accurate investments, when risk is seen as uncertainty, rather than increased costs.
