Good Energy raises over £3.1million in oversubscribed share offer
Independent energy supplier Good Energy has raised £3.1million and reported a significant over-subscription in its latest share offer.
The majority of the 2,000 individual applications were from Good Energy customers.
The Wiltshire-based firm, which supplies 100% renewable electricity and green gas and also generates power from its own solar and wind farms, has a history of raising funds through its customer base and other investors.
Juliet Davenport OBE, founder and Chief Executive of Good Energy said:
"I'm delighted by the demand we received for this share offer. It's a strong signal that renewable energy remains an attractive investment. We've gone back to our roots by inviting customers, bondholders and shareholders the opportunity to invest and once again there has been a real appetite from them to get involved. I'm very pleased to see so many of our customers backing Good Energy once again. Customer-ownership is a big part of our ethos.
"It's our most successful share offer since Good Energy was admitted to AIM in 2012 and our second most successful fundraise with significant participation from our customers."
The money raised through the share offer will be used to invest in Good Energy's operational platform, generation portfolio and to further strengthen its financial position.
The company has 220,000 customers and aims to grow to one million customers (household equivalents) by 2020.
Notes to editors
- On 7 June 2016, Good Energy (AIM: GOOD), the AIM quoted renewable electricity supplier and generator, announced a share offer to shareholders, bondholders, customers and other interested persons to raise gross proceeds of c. £3.1 million.
- Good Energy has announced that it has raised the full amount from the Share Offer, which closed on Sunday 19th June 2016.
Initial Allotments:
- To ensure that electronic and postal applications are treated equitably the Company has decided to make allotments in two stages, allowing time for funds associated with postal applications to clear.
- It is expected that Share Allotments will take place as follows:
- A first allotment of 1,298,858 New Ordinary Shares, in respect of which an application has been made for Admission to trading on AIM and it is expected that Admission and commencement of dealings will be on or around 23rd June 2016; and
- A second allotment of 197,041 New Ordinary Shares following receipt of cleared funds, in respect of which a new application will be made for these New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM as soon as possible.
- Following Admission of the Share Allotments, the Enlarged Share Capital of the Company will consist of 16,466,579 Ordinary Shares. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 16,466,579 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company.
- An applicant who has been allocated shares under the first allotment will be notified as soon as possible.
Increase in size of the Share Offer
- To maximise the opportunity for our customers, bondholders, shareholders and other interested persons to participate in the Share Offer, the Company proposes to increase the total size of the Share Offer by a further 358,920 New Ordinary Shares at the Offer Price of 208 pence. The Company has received additional applications for New Ordinary Shares in excess of this amount but this is the maximum number of New Ordinary Shares the Company can allot under the Share Offer whilst keeping proceeds at less than €5 million. Issuing shares above this level would have required the issue of a full prospectus increasing the total cost of the Share Offer.
- The proposed increase to the maximum size of the Share Offer is subject to the relevant share allotment resolutions being passed at the Company's AGM on Thursday 23rd June 2016 at 10.30 am. If the resolutions are passed, the Company intends to allot a total of 358,920 New Ordinary Shares as soon as possible. Application for these New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to AIM will be made in due course.
- Qualifying applicants who will be allocated shares under the increase to the Share Offer will be notified as soon as possible.
- A further announcement will be made following the Company's AGM.

Welcome to the Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines/Ocean City where local people make a local difference, one child and one community at a time!
Our History -
Kiwanis is a worldwide service organization of men and women who share the challenge of
community and world improvement. Since its founding in Detroit, Michigan, in 1915, Kiwanis has
grown to more than 8,400 clubs in 96 nations. There are about 606,608 active members in the
Kiwanis family, representing nearly every culture on every continent, all seeking to improve people's
lives. Kiwanians give their time to make their communities and world better places in which to
live and work. As members of a club, they have opportunities to make business and professional
contacts; learn firsthand about local, national, and international issues; improve and use leadership
skills; participate in the life of their community and world; and develop life-long friendships.
The Defining Statement of Kiwanis: "Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at at time." The Kiwanis logo is accompanied by the words "Serving the Children of the World".
Along with clubs for adults, there are clubs for students of which the Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines/Ocean City is the parent club sponsor for five(5) Youth Leadership Programs: The Stephen Decatur High School Key Club, The Buckingham Elementary K-Kids, The Showell Elementary School K-Kids, The Berlin Intermediate School Builders Club and The Stephen Decatur Middle School Builders Club. There are two other Kiwanis clubs, one for college students known as Kiwanis Circle K Clubs and another named Aktion Clubs for adults with disabilities.
The local Kiwanis Club was organized by 25 residents on February 20, 1980 and chartered by Kiwanis International on April 12, 1980. The original name was known as the Kiwanis Club of Ocean Pines. In 2005 the club changed its name to The Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines/Ocean City and has members from both areas as well as Berlin, MD. It meets every week on Wednesday mornings at 8 AM in the Ocean Pines Community Center where a great deal of fun and fellowship are shared Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines/Ocean City in Berlin
Being a Kiwanis member can be rewarding in many ways. The greatest gift you could ever give
yourself as a person is the gratification in knowing you are contributing your help, time, and efforts to
people in and out of your community who are in dire need. Raising funds to help the poor,
participating in fellowship, and giving something back to your community are the highest levels of
self-satisfaction you can ever encounter!

Here's some awesome news for Cody Simpson's fans! The artist is planning an international tour to promote his "Paradise" album when it arrives. Here's what Cody spilled to The Hot Hits:
Well my album's coming out straight after I get off [the Big Time Rush Big Time Summer] tour, so I think we're going to travel internationally for a little while. I'm going to Europe for the first time… London, Paris, Germany, Belgium. A lot of fans are always tweeting me like 'when are you coming to Europe?' So that's something that I'm pretty stoked about. I love being able to travel around the world and see so many new places and stuff. I like being a jet setter, it's kind of fun. I'm probably touring next year, and definitely coming to Australia.

From London, Ontario, Canada:
I am a 20 year old male who has recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I am taking injections four times daily, and I have heard about not injecting in the same spot or the insulin will just build up under the skin. I prefer to inject in my abdomen, and I do rotate every injection but I'm curious. How long should I wait before I inject in the same location?
Good question. The repeated use of the same area of skin for subcutaneous injections causes the build-up of fat in the space. This changes the way the insulin behaves, in terms of its absorption and time of action. Most people feel that you should picture your abdomen as a grid and continue to rotate over the grid, in terms of where you place the injection. Even if moving means an inch or two at a time. With this pattern, it is unlikely you will use the same area more than three or four times a year. If you are using the same place at intervals less than monthly, I would be concerned that is too much. The goal is to be able to use the injection sites for the long-term.

Colorado state senate president John Morse dismissed the voices of his constituents when voting to support gun control in the spring of this year. Then, as the recall effort to remove him from office gained momentum, Coloradan Luke Wagner of the Basic Freedom Defense Foundation said that Morse boasted on television of how "proud" he was for having ignored them. When his recall was secured and Morse was saying goodbye to his supporters he claimed that the loss of his seat was "purely symbolic" and he expressed enthusiasm over what Democrats had been able to do in the last legislative session–the session in which gun control was passed.
The Denver Post carried a video of Morse's concession speech. Here are his words:
Our last session was phenomenal. And the next session will be even better.
The loss of this seat for the next 16 months is purely symbolic. Democrats, the party of working families, still holds the majority in both chambers.
We have miles to go, and the highest rank in a democracy is citizen not senate president. So soon, along with many of you, I will hold that rank. And there's nothing citizens can't accomplish when they put their minds to accomplishing it.

H2 can potentially be produced in a two-stage biological process: the fermentation of glucose by Escherichia coli HD701 and the photofermentation of the residual medium by Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U. 001. In a typical batch fermentation, E. coli consumed glucose and produced H2, organic end-products and biomass. Organic end-products and residual glucose were removed during subsequent photofermentation by R. sphaeroides, with associated growth and neutralization of pH. However, photoproduction of H2 did not occur during photofermentation of the residual liquor per se due to the presence of fixed nitrogen compounds. Nevertheless, this two-stage approach could be applied to dispose of sugar-containing industrial wastes, H2 being used for on-site power generation.

Yes, I quit going to church about a year ago. I had some disagreements with the pastor. I was going to find a different one, but then got used to having my sunday mornings for other stuff. Now it is in the far back of my mind. I know that it should not be, but it is.

Since the old year will soon transition to the new year, this is a great time to reflect on our lives so far and how we hope to change them going forward. It's also a time of uncertainty that can discourage us, unless we're intentional about centering ourselves in what never changes — God's love for us — in the middle of uncertain circumstances. Spending time in silent reflection (through prayer or meditation) empowers us to discover something ironic: silence actually speaks.
What comes through in the middle of silence is God's voice, which the Bible describes in 1 Kings 19:12 as a "still small voice" or as a "gentle whisper." It's an incredibly powerful voice — but quiet enough to inspire us to listen carefully for it. God doesn't shout at us above the noise of our lives. Instead, he motivates us to pay attention to his messages by speaking constantly in a loving way that we have to care enough to seek out. Silent reflection is like tuning our ears and minds into God's frequency that has been broadcasting all along.
One winter day seven years ago, I heard God's whispering voice while taking a silent prayer walk and wrestling with great uncertainty. My husband Russ needed a lifesaving kidney transplant and a great guy from our church had volunteered to donate a kidney to him. Right before the surgery was scheduled, however, the plans fell apart. That unexpected change made it a real possibility that I'd be a widowed single parent sometime soon.
God didn't answer any of my questions that I asked on that walk, but in the midst of my uncertainty, he did something else: He sent me a powerful sense of peace. I didn't know what my future held, but I did know that I could trust God, no matter what. When worry crept into my life (as it often did) after that walk, silent prayer and meditation centered my soul back into the place where I could receive God's peace again.
Thankfully, a few months later Russ underwent a successful kidney transplant thanks to another hero from our church who made the lifesaving gift. But even before I knew what would happen, I felt at peace, because God met me in the silence and spoke just enough for me to renew my trust in him.
Whatever scary uncertainty you're facing right now, I hope you'll make some time to reflect on it during silent prayer or meditation and listen for God's response. Even in silence, he has something to say to you.

First and Second Mortgage Rates Compared
There are certain situations where a second mortgage would be a good move. You have to be very sure about it however as taking out a second mortgage is no joke. And doing it the wrong way can cost you even more in the long run.click here now!
Is Second Mortgage Rates Lower Than First?
One reason some people are encouraged to use a second mortgage is because they believe that the rates will be much lower than on the first one. The truth is that normally the rates for the second mortgage are higher simply because there is a greater risk to the lender. When the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender would only be paid if there was any money left after the initial mortgage has been paid.
There are also some situations where the second mortgage could come with a lower rate. This might happen when the second mortgage has an adjustable rate. The current condition in the market might make the rate lower than the first.
Second Mortgages Are Not Recommended
Taking out a second mortgage to make payments for the first is not a recommended move. It carries certain risks that might make it harder for the borrower to pay back the loan later on. Of course, there would always be exceptions. In cases where the balance of the first loan is small, and the rate is high, then taking out a second mortgage with a lower rate is a better move to make.
Using A Second Mortgage
A second mortgage is a great way to get hold of cash when you need it. By using the value of your home, you can get the money you need.
Here are some of the advantages.
It is easy to get a second mortgage since it is taken against the value of the house and is, therefore, a secured loan
The interest to a second mortgage is tax deductible
You can get a substantial amount of money in a relatively fast period… Read the rest..

Introducing Practice Vibe
Still can't figure out why your clinic isn't making a profit even though you've been seeing more patients then ever? No worries, we've got a solution!
Hands On Technology's latest creation, Practice Vibe, is a clinic planner and analyzer. Practice Vibe gives practice owners and administrators a full view of the health of the practice by combining data from multiple sources into one application. This allows for key metrics to be planned, tracked, and then analyzed which will ultimately help you make better business decisions while saving you time and money (sounds almost too good to be true!)
How It Works
The first step with Practice Vibe is to create a yearly plan which can be done at the company, facility, or provider levels. You can start by creating a totally blank plan, copying a plan from a previous year, or even copying a plan from one provider to another. Plans can also be easily increased or decreased or manually changed if future growth or decline is predicted for that year.
Each day the actuals for each data point will be pulled out of TheraOffice On-Site or TheraOffice Web and automatically uploaded to Practice Vibe. If a different EMR is being used, the actuals data can be entered manually. Other data points such as bank balance, provider salary, company salary, and other expenses can be entered in from other sources.
And It Gets Even Better
Practice Vibe was created to provide a 3 dimensional view of the plan and actuals data. Once the plan and data have been uploaded into Practice Vibe, the day to day, month to month, and year to year trends can be compared using graphs or data grids. These allow you to see where the actuals are compared to your plan. Practice Vibe can view data across each month and quickly find trends, identify problems, and keep your practice on track to meet its plan.
Practice Vibe has a dashboard with tile indicators. In these tiles there will be red, blue, and green arrows that will inform you whether or not you are meeting, exceeding, or falling below plan. Red arrows indicate that you are below plan. Blue arrows mean you are at or close to meeting your plan. Green arrows are a good indication, and mean that you are exceeding the plan. You will be able to pick and choose which tiles you want to appear on your overview screen based off of what data you think is most relevant.
Predicting the Future
Using the BRAIN, Practice Vibe is able to predict the future. Now, it won't be able to tell you if you will win the lottery, however, it can compare prior year actual data with the current plan, and current year actual data to determine where your company is headed before you get there (which is almost as good as winning the lottery).
You Can't Improve if You Can't Measure Results…
Which is why the inventors of TheraOffice Web and TheraOffice Onsite created Practice Vibe; for the sole purpose of helping you to improve your business in an efficient and inexpensive way. By following your trends, Practice Vibe will be able to provide you with the most optimum solution to get your business to where you want it to be.
Check out the Practice Vibe webpage for more information and learn how to become a beta tester!

When it's a stroke, don't delay – Go for medical help right away
Every 45 seconds, someone in the U.S. suffers a stroke! A stroke occurs when the blood supply to your brain is interrupted or severely reduced, cutting off oxygen and food from brain tissue.
Like heart disease, a stroke is a medical emergency in which every instant counts.
- Immediate action minimizes brain damage and lessens potential complications.
- Failure to take immediate action results in brain cells beginning to die.
- Like heart disease, strokes can be treated and prevented.
- Fewer people are permanently disabled or die from stroke.
Hundreds of stroke survivors are alive today due to specialty treatment centers, such as the Heart Institute at ARMC.
There are two types of strokes:
- Ischemic: The major cause, occurring in 87 percent of stroke victims, is a blocked brain artery resulting in an insufficient supply of blood to the brain
- Hemorrhagic: Occurs in approximately 13 percent of victims: rupture of brain artery bleeding into or around the brain
What are the symptoms of Stroke?
- Stumbling
- Sudden dizziness
- Loss of balance
- Loss of coordination
- Trouble speaking or being understood
- Slurring words
- Explaining your symptoms
- Paralysis or numbness on one side of your face
- Paralysis or numbness on one side of your body
- Trouble with seeing out of one or both eyes
If you or someone around you is experiencing stroke symptoms, dial 9-1-1 immediately.
How is a stroke treated?
Whether ischemic or hemorrhagic, stroke is treated in three stages:
- Prevention
- Medication
- Surgery
- Rehabilitation
Therapies are based on treating risk factors
- Medications
- Surgical intervention
- Angioplasty
- Stenting
The type of prevention, intervention therapy, or surgery, depends on the type of stroke and the individual.

Next Thursday, UniverCity is hosting author and pastor Eric Jacobsen for a free talk on walkability.
This should be a very interesting conversation that bridges various communities in the city. Eric Jacobsen has been featured on the Strong Towns podcast, in which he discusses his book "The Space Between: A Christian Engagement with The Built Environment". He also wrote the highly regarded book "Sidewalks in the Kingdom". From the Amazon book review:
Christians often talk about claiming our cities for Christ and the need to address urban concerns. But according to Eric Jacobsen, this discussion has remained far too abstract. Sidewalks in the Kingdom challenges Christians to gain an informed vision for the physical layout and structure of the city. Jacobsen emphasizes the need to preserve the nourishing characteristics of traditional city life, including shared public spaces, thriving neighborhoods, and a well-supported local economy. He explains how urban settings create unexpected and natural opportunities to initiate friendship and share faith in Christ.
Eric is a member of the Congress of the New Urbanism and resides in Tacoma, Washington, where he is Senior Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. A big thanks to Palm Beach Tech Association for hosting this event in their collaborative workspace in downtown WPB and to UniverCity for organizing the event. UniverCity is an initiative of Providencia Church in West Palm Beach. More details are available at the UniverCity website.
See you there!

"The White House is won in the swing states, and I am winning the swing states," she said in a speech in Charleston, W.Va. on May 13, 2008, after she defeated Sen. Barack Obama in the West Virginia primary.
Clinton is right that a handful of swing states are crucial to winning the general election, but her math doesn't add up.
First, a caveat: Just because a candidate wins a primary in a given state does not mean the candidate has an upper hand in that state in the general election.
"That's the most important fact here," said Amy Walter, editor of National Journal's "Hotline," a political Web site. "Primary success in a state is no indicator of future success."
That's because primary elections are very different than general elections. Primary voters tend to be more partisan and more active in politics, so candidates adapt their messages to appeal to them. In a general election, the candidates can usually depend on support from their own party, so they focus more on moderates and independents.
Also, many states lean toward one party, so a victory or loss in a primary does not indicate how the state will go in November. For example, Obama lost Massachusetts to Clinton. Yet if he is the nominee, he is a strong favorite because Massachusetts has voted Democratic in every presidential election since 1984.
Still, Clinton argues that she is more popular with core Democrats, the white working-class voters who she says will be the party's base in the swing states. So let's examine whether she has indeed won more of those states.
Pundits and campaign strategists generally agree that there are about 14 battleground states -- Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. For our purposes, we'll examine all except Michigan because Obama was not on the primary ballot there. But it's also important to point out that the candidates agreed not to campaign in Florida, and some Democrats don't consider the Florida results a valid measurement of Obama's strength in the state.
Clinton has won the primaries or caucuses in six of them -- Florida, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Ohio, New Mexico and Nevada. Obama has also won six -- Virginia, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado and Washington. And he's favored to win Oregon's primary on May 20.
So to recap the score:
Clinton 6, Obama 6 (plus Oregon if he wins as expected).
That doesn't sound like she's "winning" the swing states. She's exaggerating her strength in those states, so we find her statement to be Barely True.
Editor's note: This statement was rated Barely True when it was published. On July 27, 2011, we changed the name for the rating to Mostly False.

Caught on cam: Liquor store brawl
Police in Lawrence, Massachusetts are looking for a would-be robber who got more than he bargained for.
It was a crime in the blink of an eye.
A suspect flashing a gun as he entered "Tony's" liquor store went right for a customer's cellphone, but ended up with a fight.
"They didn't want the store, they wanted the guy," said store owner Antoine Karko.
Karko was behind the counter around 6:30 Monday evening.
A regular customer was scratching lotto tickets in the corner when in walked a man masked by a scarf.
"He grabbed the phone from him and I didn't know what kind of weapon he had in his hands - he smashed him in two places on his cheek," said Karko.
"I think his intention was to rob the victim further and we don't know what else but the victim fought him off," said Chief John Romero of the Lawrence Police Department.
The victim pulled off the man's backpack as he tried to take off, but the thief turned around to make another run at it, and that's when he faced Karko.
"I grabbed the bat and I go from here…I went outside to look for the guy with my bat and I don't see nothing," said Karko.
"The perpetrator reentered the store. I think when he saw what was happening I think he just thought better of it and he just fled," said Romero.
He's still on the run, and the victim was treated at the hospital.
Karko has a warning for others looking to target his Newbury Street liquor store.
"Don't mess with Antoine because I put my blood here," said Karko.
That suspect did get away with the victims cellphone. He is described as 5-foot, 7-inches, medium build and wearing that very distinctive black and white scarf.

WILMINGTON, Mass. (AP) -- Medical research equipment and services provider Charles River Laboratories International Inc. said Wednesday that it bought Accugenix, a company that creates testing used to identify microbes.
Charles River Labs paid $17 million in cash for Accugenix, based in Newark, Del. It said Accugenix' testing can be used in the making of biotech drugs, medical devices, nutrition products and consumer care items. Charles River said the deal will not affect its net income this year. In 2013 it will increase the company's sales by about 1 percent and add a small amount to earnings.
Charles River Labs, based in Wilmington, Mass., reported $1.14 billion in revenue in 2011 and expects $1.13 billion to $1.15 billion in 2012.
Shares of Charles River Labs rose 4 cents to close at $36.35.

Home1Boston is a new experimental online portal to help the next generation of home owners in the greater Boston area navigate the path to sustainable home ownership.
The platform was created by Cambridge Financial Technology as part of a project developed through Clinton America and in collaboration with many organizations including the City of Boston Housing Innovation Lab, Young Invincibles and Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency and with the financial support of the Ford Foundation.
Boston is one of the country's most desirable places to live and has experienced tremendous growth over the last ten years. Unfortunately, housing is expensive in Boston making it tough for younger residents to buy their first home – particularly for those without substantial incomes or savings. First-time home buyers in Boston today are digital natives who are often frustrated by both the costs and process of homeownership. In addition, counseling organizations, lenders, real estate agents and others often find it more complex and time-consuming to deal with first-time buyers.
Our goals are to:
1. Provide an innovative digital solution that makes it easier, less frustrating and less expensive for young adults to buy their first-home in the Greater Boston area.
2. Make sure that low and moderate income home buyers are not left behind as the process of buying a home and getting a mortgage is changed by new technologies.
3. Use new and innovative technology to provide unbiased expert guidance and lower the cost of providing home buying services to all home buyers.

Never set off a bug bomb or start aimlessly spraying pesticides. By doing so you can worsen the problem and scatter the critters to various areas within your home. The best thing to do is remain calm, educate yourself on proper protocol BEFORE takin any corrective action.
There is no 1 best or magic spray when it comes to bed bug extermination. The most effective strategy uses a combination of insecticide spray that kills on contact, followed up with a residual spray that continues to kill even when dry, an insecticide dust and a growth inhibitor that prevents the bed bugs from reproducing. To simplify the shopping process we've created kits that contain everything you need which continue to be our best sellers. You can see them in the "Powders & Sprays" section of our site.
There's a variety of factors that determine speed of results. #1 is the severity of the infestation. #2 is the size of your home and number of rooms affected. #3 is the amount of clutter present in each room. The more clutter, the more hiding places for the bugs and the harder to eliminate. #4 is how thorough, disciplined and persistent you are. The more diligent you are with laundering and quarantining your clothing, the faster your problem will disappear.

Download our free 7 step ebook on how to eliminate bed bugs which outlines each step of the process in great detail.
First thing on deck is de-cluttering the infested rooms. Bed bugs love clutter and can nestle deep within books, cardboard, shoeboxes and more. Second thing is laundering all your clothes, bedding, curtains etc and drying them for extended periods of time. Bed bugs cannot withstand temperatures in excess of 120 degrees farenheit for extended periods. Therefore making the clothes dryer a lethal bed bug killer. Thirdly you need to treat everything in each infested area with a combination of insecticide spray that kills on contact, insecticide that leaves a residue and stays active for weeks, dust that does the same but lasts even longer and growth regulators that prevent bed bugs from reproducing. Download our free 7 steps to eliminate bed bugs e-book for more detailed step by step instructions.
#1 remove your shoes when entering your house and spray them with SteriFab periodically. #2 immediately launder your clothing when returning home from traveling or other peoples homes. When not possible to immediately launder than put all the clothes in your washing machine, close it and wash and dry later. #3 Spray your bags and shoes with J.T. Eaton or Essentria bed bug repellent before you travel or sleep over at others homes. #4 Re-treat your bedrooms with a light residual spray or dusting every 6 months.
No, you do not need to throw away your mattress especially when you have a new or expensive one. You can effectively treat and eliminate bed bugs from your mattress using a combination of Bedlam, Sterifab and Dust. After treatment you can use bed bug mattress and box spring covers as well. These encasements are engineered to trap the bed bugs in and keep new bed bugs out. They are highly effective and a much more cost effective solution than spending $500+ dollars for a new mattress when it's not required. However if you do decide to throw your mattress away you must, must must take extra care to treat it with contact killer before you drag it threw your house, potentially spreading bed bugs and bed bug eggs along the way. Furthermore you need to use spray paint and write "Bed Bugs, Do Not Use!!!" when curbside so that others do not inadvertently try to salvage and use the infested mattress.

Hey guy's
So i'v been reading that the 360 version of GTAV will require a mandatory 8GB installation which will be provided by a second disc. R* are advising consumers not to install both the installation disc and play disc, as this would ultimately end in "Pop in's" (Takes' map longer to load objects thus, when in an aircraft you could be hit by a invisible wall to then be rendered as a building or windmill etc)
While i now understand the pro's to not installing the play disc as it reads simultaneously with the hard drive's 8GB install disc, what about the con's.. In the past, while playing a game, in particular Left 4 dead i'v accidentally somehow managed to knock the system to then hear a large churning noise. Upon opening my 360 i'v saw a perfect circle etched into the disc which is then unplayable (this was when i HADN'T installed to hard drive.)
Now for you tech folks out there, my question... Is this completely safe? i mean people have children, me included that jump and run around the house/flat causing vibrations, also my 360 is situated under the desk beside my leg which is susceptible to getting knocked now and again... By installing the "install disc" i don't think this will eradicate this problem as you're still playing from the play disc at the same time to help loading/rendering times, so any advice?
Thanks in advance.

Top Female Advocates Before the Supreme Court3 Comments Published by Kedar S. Bhatia April 30th, 2012 in Oral Arguments, Statistics, Supreme Court, Supreme Court Bar
To celebrate Patricia Millett's record-breaking thirty-first Supreme Court argument last week in Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians v. Patchak—the most by any woman before the Court—I have compiled a list of the top 10 female advocates with the most appearances before the Supreme Court who are currently in practice. The following chart includes a link to each advocate's firm profile (if one exists).
|No. of Args
|Current Position
|Patricia Millett
|Akin Gump
|Lisa Blatt
|Arnold & Porter
|Beth Brinkmann
|Maureen Mahoney
|Latham & Watkins
|Barbara Underwood
|SG of NY
|Nicole Saharsky
|Assistant to the SG
|Deanne Maynard
|Morrison & Foerster
|Leondra Kruger
|Assistant to the SG
|Nina Pillard
|Georgetown Law Center
|Pamela Karlan
|Stanford Law School
|Kathleen Sullivan
|Quinn Emmanuel
Notably, Barbara McDowell, who passed away in 2009 as the director of appellate advocacy for the Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia, argued 18 times before the Court and served as an Assistant to the Solicitor General. Beth Brinkmann currently serves as Deputy Assistant Attorney General, although that position that will not get her before the Supreme Court for oral arguments. Elena Kagan had 6 appearances before the Supreme Court before she became an Associate Justice.
Many of the advocates listed above argued the vast majority of their cases as members of the Office of the Solicitor General. That trend is generally true throughout the elite-tiers of the Supreme Court bar—Tom Goldstein is the only truly elite Supreme Court advocate without any experience in the OSG—and the trend appears to be just as strong among its female members. Among the advocates listed above, only Karlan and Sullivan have never argued on behalf of the federal government. Other advocates argued several cases while in the Office of the Solicitor General, but later argued again in other positions. For example, Millett's five most recent arguments have occurred during her time in private practice and Underwood's four most recent appearances have been in her position as Solicitor General of New York. Notably, Maureen Mahoney and Barbara Underwood have both served as Principal Deputy Solicitors General and Leondra Kruger temporarily served in that position just last year.
If I've made any mistakes with the above tally, please send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
June 18: I've added Nina Pillard to the list, who argued several time as an Assistant to the Solicitor General in the mid-1990s and has argued a handful of times in the 2000s. Her most recent appearance was in Stolt-Nielsen v. AnimalFeeds Int'l. You can read more about her here.

Forthcoming Article on Kiobel and the Alien Tort StatuteClosed Published by Kedar S. Bhatia April 18th, 2012 in Scholarship
I've posted a new article on the Alien Tort Statute and Kiobel on SSRN. The article, Rethinking the Purely Jurisdictional View of the Alien Tort Statute, demonstrates that the Court should read the Alien Tort Statute as purely jurisdiction, rather than as a hybrid provision both granting jurisdiction to hear claims arising under the law of nations and defining the claims that fall under that jurisdiction.
Readers of this website might fight Part II, which begins on page 23, especially interesting. In that section, I demonstrate that the Alien Tort Statute is an atheoretical compromise between several conflicting strands of federal civil procedure. I discuss how the Court's opinion in Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain (2004) did more to upset law in this area than to settle it because the opinion did not properly explain how the Alien Tort Statute fits into existing law surrounding Erie and the presumption against implied causes of action. Without clarity on those important issues, lower courts have struggled to build on the Supreme Court's new framework.
The confusion regarding corporate liability and aiding and abetting liability are symptomatic of the Court's atheoretical compromise. Litigation in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. has been a mess—the lower court decision was criticized for both its substantive outcome and its methodology—but litigation in Mohammed v. PLO demonstrates how easy it can be to litigate similar claims when Congress steps in to define those claims with a level of clarity that courts can never achieve.
The article won the W. Richard Smith Founder's Award for Writing Excellence for the Best Comment, and it is forthcoming in the Emory International Law Review (2013). The abstract is copied below the fold. Continue reading 'Forthcoming Article on Kiobel and the Alien Tort Statute'
Cert. Petition Filed Yesterday by the Emory Supreme Court Advocacy ProjectClosed Published by Kedar S. Bhatia March 20th, 2012 in Administrative, ELSSCAP
ELSSCAP, the Emory Law School Supreme Court Advocacy Project, filed a cert. petition yesterday in Kasonso v. Holder. You can find the petition here.
Last month we filed a merits-stage amicus brief in Christopher v. SmithKline Beecham Corp., which you can find here. In December we filed a cert.-stage amicus brief in Standard Investment Chartered v. NASD, which you can find here.
I certainly am not posting these to distribute these briefs more widely, but instead I am posting these only to partially explain my relative absence from the internet. Oh, then there is the law review thing.
The Case of the Missing KennedyClosed Published by Kedar S. Bhatia January 23rd, 2012 in Anthony Kennedy, Supreme Court
Today was another big day at the Supreme Court. Among the four merits opinions released, we got a very interesting summary reversal in Ryburn v. Huff and a landmark opinion in U.S. v. Jones, the GPS-tracking case. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to plow through the latter yet, but I hope to get through it by the end of the day.
As you all have no doubt noticed, the Court has been releasing opinions at a blistering pace during the first half of October Term 2011. During the Roberts Court, the Court has not released more than 19 merits opinions by the end of the January sitting. This year, however, the Court released 21, including a blockbuster (U.S. v. Jones) and a mid-major (Perez v. Perry). The Court is likely to release another mid-major, Florence v. Board of Freeholders, during the February or March sittings.
With the steady flow of opinions, the Justices have all been busy putting out opinions on a number of hot-button issues. One Justice, however, has yet to author even a single majority, concurring, or dissenting opinion: Justice Kennedy. In some ways his silence is surprising–the Court has disposed of nearly a quarter of the cases it will likely decide during OT11 and Justice Kennedy is nowhere to be seen. On the other hand, he tends to write most frequently in high-profile, divided cases and therefore it takes more time for the Court to produce his opinions. Ultimately, however, compared to Justices Scalia and Ginsburg, who have authored eight and seven opinions, respectively, Justice Kennedy's silence seems especially notable. Let's take a look at how all of the Justices have fared during OT11.
|Total Opinions
Despite his silence up to this point in the term, I have little doubt that Justice Kennedy will leave his mark on the term by the end of June. With so many landmark decisions pending, it seems likely that Justice Kennedy with write more than a few noteworthy majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions. He has also traditionally written a low number of total opinions–last year only Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kagan authored fewer total opinions. I suspect that we will see a similar trend during the current term. But when Justice Kennedy writes an opinion, he certainly makes it count for something.
Predicting the April Sitting1 Comment Published by Kedar S. Bhatia January 17th, 2012 in Court Procedure, Statistics
I run into the exact same debate every year around mid-January: which cases will be heard during the current term and which will be pushed over to the next? For example, the Court granted three cases on Friday but should I categorize them as OT11 cases or OT12 cases?
Predicting which cases the Court will hear during the April sitting is more of an art than a science. This year we are aided by the early release of the March calendar, which occasionally comes out as late as the end of the January sitting (OT07, OT08). Recently, however, the Court has published the February and March calendars sometime in December (OT10, OT11).
We can also look at recent trends in the number of cases heard during the April sitting. The Court has heard fewer cases in the last few years than it had during years before. You can see the tally's going back to OT03 below:
|April Args.
You can see the trend as a bar chart as well:
The recent trend suggests that the Court will once again aim to hear 8-10 cases in April. An April sitting with 8 cases would also leave the Court with 75 cases set for oral argument (counting the healthcare cases as one case). In recent years, the Court has heard around the same number of merits cases.
|Argued Cases
Another common signal used to predict the April cases is the presence of an expedited briefing schedule. Occasionally, the Court will order a case placed on an expedited schedule in order to accommodate arguments earlier than the normal schedule would allow. That happens both in extraordinary cases that need to be rush – like Perry v. Perez this year – and in cases that need to be squeezed into the term. January grants are often the subject of such expedited schedules, but none of the grants from the past two weeks have received such treatment.
One way for the Supreme Court to move cases along without upsetting the formal briefing schedule is to announce granted cases immediately following a conference and announce denied cases in the traditional Monday order list (OT09, OT10, OT11). The Court has used this procedure for each of the cases granted in January, a signal that it is at least considering whether or not to hear those cases in April. The Court did not follow the same procedure during OT10; it announced grants and denials in its normal order list and still managed to hear some of those cases during the April sitting.
The Cour may also consider its general workload for the term when scheduling cases for April. It has a number of important cases to decide before the end of June and many of those will require more judicial resources than the average case. If the Court were concerned about the length and difficulty of those cases, it may opt to hear fewer cases in the April sitting in order to devote more time to the difficult cases.
To date, the Court has ten cases that have been granted but not scheduled for oral arguments. Five of those were granted in December and will almost certainly make it onto the April argument calendar(Christopher v. SmithKline Beecham, Dorsey v. U.S., RadLAX v. Amalgamated, Arizona v. U.S., and Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band v. Patchak). Of the remaining five, the ones that were granted in the past two weeks, two were granted at the first January conference (Salazar v. Ramah Navajo Chapter and Florida v. Jardines) and three were granted last week (Kloeckner v. Solis, U.S. v. Bornes, and Cavazos v. Williams). The Court generally schedules cases for oral arguments in the order in which they were granted, but it does not follow the order of grants strictly.
In the past, the April calendar has been released in late-January or early-Februry. Here are the dates over the past few years:
|April Calendar Release
|Feb. 24
|Mar. 6
|Feb. 5
|Jan. 30
|Feb. 16
|Feb. 7
Ultimately then, its hard to predict exactly which cases will be heard in April and when we'll know, but I predict that we'll find out mid-way through the February sitting that the Court will hear eight cases: all five that were granted in December, both of the January 6 grants, and one (possibly two) of January 13 grants.
Of course, the standard prediction disclaimers apply. I'm just as likely to be wrong as I am to be right, so plan accordingly.
Four 8-1 Decisions in One DayClosed Published by Kedar S. Bhatia January 10th, 2012 in Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Statistics, Supreme Court
The Supreme Court released four opinions today, and each was 8-1. You can find all of the opinions here.
CompuCredit v. Greenwood, a case centering around arbitration clauses, is especially interested. In an opinion written by Justice Scalia, the Supreme Court somewhat predictably upheld an arbitration agreement and read the Credit Repair Organizations Act's nonwavier provision narrowly enough to allow the Federal Arbitration Act's presumption of enforceability to prevail. At this point, Supreme Court opinions upholding arbitration clauses almost feel pro forma. Justice Ginsburg dissented.
Justice Ginsburg also provided the lone dissenting vote in Minneci v. Pollard. Over the past ten years, Justice Ginsburg has only provided the lone dissenting vote about once every other term (.5 times per year), so it was especially surprising to see her do it twice in one day. During the Roberts Court, there have been an average of 7.4 8-1 decisions per year, making today's barrage of 8-1 opinions even more surprising.
January Hearing List ReleasedClosed Published by Kedar S. Bhatia January 9th, 2012 in Supreme Court Bar
The Supreme Court has released the Hearing List for the January sitting and you can find it here.
Several high-profile advocates are back in action during the January sitting. Gregory Garre leads all attorneys in private practice with his fourth argument of the term in United States v. Home Concrete & Supply and Solicitor General Donald Verrilli matches him with his fourth argument of the term in FCC v. Fox.
Paul Clement argues his third case of the term in Perry v. Perez this afternoon. Carter Philips and Assistant to the Solicitor General Nicole Saharsky also argue their third cases of the term in FCC v. Fox and Filarsky v. Delia, respectively.
Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm Stewart, who was notably absent from the podium during the first three months of the term, will argue in two cases during the January sitting: Sackett v. EPA and United States v. Home Concrete & Supply.
Westlaw Flag Colors for OT10 Cases1 Comment Published by Kedar S. Bhatia January 5th, 2012 in Statistics, Supreme Court
I've always thought it was funny that WestLaw handed out yellow flags like they were candy. I'm referring, of course, to "KeyCite Status Flags," the shorthand notation given to each case to signal whether it has some negative history, is bad law, or has direct history.
- Red Flag: "In cases and administrative decisions, a red flag warns that the case or administrative decision is no longer good law for at least one of the points of law it contains."
- Yellow Flag: "In cases and administrative decisions, a yellow flag warns that the case or administrative decision has some negative history but hasn't been reversed or overruled."
- Blue H: "In cases and administrative decisions, a blue H indicates that the case or administrative decision has some history."
- Green H: "In cases and administrative decisions, a green C indicates that the case or administrative decision has citing references but no direct history or negative citing references."
The common perception is that, for whatever reason, WestLaw gives yellow flags to a disproportionate number of cases. I thought I'd look at cases from OT10, most of which were decided in the last twelve months.
October Term 2010 Merits Cases
|Blue H
As it turns out, WestLaw actually does give out yellow flags to a large percentage of cases. Considering that these cases were decided by the highest court in the land within the last twelve months, it is pretty remarkable that so many of them already have "some negative history." Go figure.
My next step is to look at cases from OT08 and OT09 to see how the trend shifts over time. I'd also like to look at the cases that cast doubt upon Supreme Court cases to see where they arise and to find the average length of time between a Supreme Court opinion and its first diminishing case.
Vintage SCOTUS: William Rehnquist's Memo to Justice Jackson Regarding Brown v. Board of Education4 Comments Published by Kedar S. Bhatia January 4th, 2012 in Vintage SCOTUS, William Rehnquist
Much has been made of the memo that William Rehnquist wrote as a clerk to Justice Robert Jackson advising him to uphold Plessy v. Ferguson in Brown v. Board of Education. Rehnquist always maintained that he was only writing what his boss wanted to read, but Rehnquist's detractors saw that as a flimsy excuse.
I don't have a strong view on that matter, but I thought it would be helpful to read the memo itself to divine an answer. If you want to read it yourself, you can find it here.
Rehnquist opens the most substantive portion of the memo with an argument that looks familiar to constitutional scholars today:
In these cases now before the Court, the Court is, as [John] Davis suggested, being asked to read its own sociological views into the Constitution. Urging a view palpably at variance with precedent and probably with legislative history, appellants seek to convince the Court of the moral wrongness of the treatment they are receiving. I would suggest that this is a question the Court need never reach; for regardless of the Justice's individual views on the merits of segregation, it quite clearly is not one of those extreme cases which commands intervention from one of any conviction.
It ends on an interesting note that also displays his matter-of-fact style mixed with a hint of flair that would become a hallmark of his thirty-three year tenure on the Court:
I realize that it is an unpopular and unhumanitarian position, for which I have been excoriated by "liberal" colleagyes, but I think Plessy v. Ferguson was right and should be re-affirmed. If the fourteenth Amendment did not enact Spencer's Social Statios, it just as surely did not enact Myrddahl's American Dilemna.
After reading the memo, I get the impression that it truly reflected his views. The style is clearly personal and the informal tone makes it seem more likely that Rehnquist was free to write what he truly felt. That said, its hard to glean anything from a two-page memo. Consider this mystery unsolved.

It is hard to know how many children are harmed by religious practices, be it withholding health care, using corporal punishment, failing to report sexual abuse committed by a church leader, or emotional abuse.
According to Wikipedia, Since 1966, the Archdiocese of Miami insurance programs have paid $26.1 million in settlement, legal and counseling costs associated with sexual misconduct allegations made by minors involving non-clergy employees and volunteers, religious brothers and sisters and priests. In the past 50 years, a total of 4,433 priests have worked in the archdiocese.
According to Bishop-Accountability.org there have been a total of 103 priests in the state of Florida have been publicly accused of sexual abuse.
Of course, it's not just Catholics, but it is difficult to find organized data on other churches.
Corporal Punishment:
According to the organization Religious Tolerance
"From our study of conservative Protestant books on child-raising, and the content of numerous radio programs on Christian radio stations, it appears that many fundamentalist and other evangelical Christians equate "punishment" and "discipline" with "corporal punishment." But it is not clear whether the discipline, referred to at the end of this New Testament verse, refers to corporal punishment or to some other form of correction (e.g. removal of privileges)."
"…many Christians will argue that because the Bible is inerrant, that Solomon's parenting recommendations reflect God's expectations. Thus conservative Protestant parents are obligated to "beatest him with the rod" as the preferred form of discipline."
According to a study conducted in 1998 by Rita Swan and Seth M. Asser, M.D., of 172 deaths where medical care was withheld on religious grounds, 140 of them had a 90% chance of survival had they been treated with conventional medicine.
In Florida, there have been at least 2 deaths due to medical neglect of children due to religious beliefs, Amy Hermanson, age seven, died September 30, 1986, in Sarasota, Florida, of untreated juvenile onset diabetes (Christian Scientists) and Michael David Boehmer, four days old, died March 15, 1990, in Lake City, Florida, of a pulmonary hemorrhage (defunct cult called End Time Ministries). Amy's parents were found guilty but that conviction was overthrown by the Florida Supreme Court. Michael's parents were not charged with a crime.
Of course Florida is not alone as the chart below from Pew Research indicates:

Most states in the US allow the sale of beer, wine, and spirits in grocery and convenience stores, Colorado is an exception to that norm. Until recently, 3.2 beer was the only thing allowed to be sold in grocery stores, but that is being changed to allow full alcohol content in grocery stores. The change means a significant shift in the way liquor stores operate, making success dependent on wine and spirit sales. What do you think about this change and how it might affect family owned shops? What about a long term change to all spirits sold in grocery and convenience stores?

DUBAI (Sputnik) — On Wednesday, Kerry delivered a speech in which he put forward six principles for final Israeli-Palestinian settlement. They include restoration of the 1967 prewar borders between Israel and Palestine, sticking to the principle of "two states for two peoples," making Jerusalem a shared capital of the two states, and a fair resolution of the Palestinian refugee problem.
"An official source at the Foreign Ministry expressed the kingdom's welcome of the proposals put forth by US Secretary of State John Kerry on a final settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict," the statement said.
According to the statement, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia considers the proposals to be in accord with the most part of the resolutions of international legality and most of the elements of the Arab Peace Initiative agreed upon at the Arab Summit in Beirut in 2002 and by the Islamic Summit in Makkah in 2005. The source considers Kerry's proposals to represent a proper basis for reaching a final settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Jordan and Egypt earlier welcomed Kerry's speech, however Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized it and called a "great disappointment."
After the Six Day War in 1967, Israel seized the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights and Sinai Peninsula. The United States has been calling on Israel to accept borders that existed before the conflict.
Palestinians seek diplomatic recognition for their independent state on the territories of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, which is partially occupied by Israel, and the Gaza Strip. Israel has been building settlements on the occupied territories despite objection from the United Nations.

PHP Series – The Encore Beginner Edition Book
A while ago I have learned that every man should plant a tree, have a child and write a book. I never really knew who said this before and it did not really made much sense until I had my daughter, my first child. Part of creating this book came from this phrase, the other part, is explained bellow.
I have always worked with PHP. Some times as freelance projects and recently (past 3 years) as a full time job. In 2009 I have taken the Zend Certification for PHP5 and for that I had to study a lot, learn a lot, get deeper in PHP language that one day I have been before. While studying I started with a blog (mcloide.wordpress.com) as a way to keep resources, libraries and every single note that I could use later for the exam.
The more I wrote on the blog, more and more people came by and kept making questions about the exam, PHP, a resource, etc. It had became a useful resource not only for me, but also for other people. Some questions where hard, some easy and in a bunch I had questions that involved the basic concepts of PHP developing and that was when I decided to create the PHP Basic Series. A series of articles pointing out the basic concepts of coding and of the PHP language.
From this series of articles I have created this book that I hope that will become a resource for any developer or rookie that is starting on web development and is checking out what language path he should follow.

Loved by the Owners and Envied by Their Neighbors (Click for Floor Plan)
Quality craftsmanship is important when purchasing a log home from the type of timber used, to the drying processes and milling operations as well as the skilled labor involved. If you want to be sure youre purchasing a quality log home, one of the leading log home manufacturers located in north central Ohio is Hochstetler Milling Ltd. Every log home they produce is done so with precision and the quality you would expect from traditional Amish craftsmen. With over 45 log home designs, and the ability to modify any existing plan, or even build custom, you shouldnt find it difficult to find the right log home. The Woodhaven Log Home is a stunning example of fine, quality craftsmanship, and with its many beautiful design features, it might just be the perfect log haven for you!
So, welcome to the Woodhaven! And, welcome to a design that is tailored to todays lifestyle, coupled with an outstanding log home appearance that makes log homes so popular in the first place. This is a beautiful little 3-bedroom gem. The downstairs features an open-concept living room with a stunning cathedral ceiling with traditional exposed timbers as well as a warm and inviting stone fireplace. The downstairs also contains two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The upstairs is where the real magic takes place and this loft-style floor boasts a master bedroom, a large private bath large enough to fit a hot tub, and an impressively large walk-in closet. The small, open loft is also suitable for a small entertainment centre and is also designed as a place to simply relax. The Woodhaven Log Home proves that some of the best things come in small packages.
What can you expect from Hochstetler Milling Ltd.? Savings. Buying directly from their factory cuts out the middle man, resulting in up to %30 savings. You can also expect quality. All of the logs and beams are not only inspected and graded but also certified. The state-of-the-art Yates Planer enables Hochstetler to mill logs and beams with extreme precision, resulting in tighter fits and more energy-efficient logs, as well as easier time saving installation. All logs are also air-dried first and then finished in the dry kiln to produce the best log possible.
Also, log home buyers have options, and thats important! When purchasing the log home of your dreams, you want to be able to have a say and with Hochstetler, you do. This quality log home manufacturer offers a selection of log species, including Northern White Cedar, Eastern White Pine, Western Red Cedar and Southern Cypress. Why is the type of log important in a log home build? Some of it comes down to look, style and personal preference as well as cost. But logs, like anything else, have different qualities and strengths. Eastern White Pine, for instance, is an excellent choice because it offers a high R-value (thermal resistance, meaning how it acts as an insulator) for a low cost. It also has low shrinkage, meaning your house will settle far less in the following years. White Cedar is a very versatile wood and is also among the highest R-value of any of the timber species that are commonly used on log homes. It is also decay and insect resistant. Both Cypress and Red Cedar are well-suited for extremely humid areas due to their natural resistance to insects and decay. But these timbers have a lower R-value and are better suited for warmer climates. Wood selection isnt your only option with Hochstetler Milling Ltd. You can make choices regarding profiles and corner joints, roofing, trim, stain and a number of other options that are important when designing and building your dream log home. But Hochstetler Milling Ltd. is used to helping happy home buyers realize their log home dreams. That's one of the reasons the Woodhaven Log Home was designed in the first place!

"Ted Dekker is the most exciting writer I've read in a long time. Blink will expand his fan base tremendously ... wonderful ... powerful ... Bravo!" - Movie Guide Magazine
Book Jacket:
From Christian Fiction's Newest Phenomenon Ted Dekker comes this year's most highly anticipated thriller Blink--a suspense-filled saga of international implications where cultures collide, faiths are tested, futures are changed and one great truth is revealed.
An intoxicating tale set amidst the shifting sands of the Middle East, Blink touches on geopolitical conflicts as ancient as the earth itself. The page-turning plot follows a Saudi Arabian princess fleeing a wretched forced marriage for the promised land of America.
A brilliant American graduate student discovers a mysterious power-giving him glimpses into the future. Thrown together, they become pawns in a struggle for power and must manipulate the very future in order to save themselves. In his most riveting novel to date, Dekker brings the story to a dramatic climax that will change the future of fiction in the blink of an eye.
Ted Dekker is Christian fiction's hottest author, with applause increasing from fans and reviewers alike with each new release.


text: I recently backed up Resident Evil 4 (NTSC). Patched it (like always) then burnt it (like always) with IMGburn using Book Type DVD-Rom (again, like always..lol). Anyway, I put it in and hit run. It gives me the wrist strap bs, then it goes to the "No Resident Evil 4 Save Data found. Create now?". No matter if I hit "yes" or "no" after that it goes to the next screen (a black screen) and it just sits there. I waited for like 10 minutes, and the DVD drive kept spining (as if it were loading), but the game never progressed any farther. Any ideas for help?

It is a little known fact that "Getting Organized" is considered one of the ten most popular New Year's Resolutions year after year. After all, an organized life promises to save time, improve focus, and reduce stress. Well, the same can be said for your digital assets. When organized, your digital assets work for you – helping you complete projects efficiently and bring products to market. When they are not organized, however, your digital assets can actually hinder your product pipelines, acting as bottlenecks and fragmenting your workflows. Here is a list of the top 5 ways an online DAM gets you organized and saves time:
1. Find what you need, when you need it:
Centralizing your digital assets means you will always know where to find your critical images, designs, and other assets exactly when you need them. DAM provides a framework to quickly search and browse through thousands of assets, a nearly impossible task if your files are scattered on hard drives, PCs, and DVDs. Web-based solutions for Digital Asset Management, such as Webdam, further improve this benefit by ensuring your assets are accessible 24/7 anywhere in the world.
2. Reuse rather than regenerate:
Hundreds of hours have gone into generating your digital creations, all to be used once, and then buried within the confines of a designer's computer. Not anymore. With DAM, your assets are readily available and tagged with important meta-data such as how, when, and where a given file was used within your marketing campaigns. Easily find related images and image source files to promote reuse and allow you to more easily repurpose your hard work.
3. Remove the gatekeeper:
If you are like many organizations, one department, or often times even a single individual, is responsible for fulfilling image requests coming from a number of sources including internal departments such as the web team, marketing, and PR to external associates, such as media professionals. There are three potentials pitfalls with this approach. First, you are relying heavily on the knowledge of a few individuals about where your files are located. What happens when they leave the company or change positions? Second, as your requests grow, it becomes impossible to fulfill each and every one while meeting deadlines. And last, once the requested assets are located, how do you deliver them to the recipient? Burning CDs or emailing large image files consumes enormous amounts of time. With DAM, image requests can be "self-fulfilled" by directly searching the DAM database and instantly retrieving exactly what is needed. Most DAM systems also include tracking capabilities to keep you on top of how your assets are being used and distribution tools to provide several mechanisms for efficiently delivering the digital files to the recipient.
4. Watch those copyrights:
If you are handling rights-managed digital files, such as photos, knowing your usage rights is critical. Breaking copyrights is a costly mistake that no organization wants to make. So what do you do when you locate a photo but don't know the terms upon which it was acquired? After much effort tracing the purchase, you will most likely opt to play it safe and purchase a new license. With DAM, you are not only tracking your digital files but also the critical meta-data associated to your files, such as copyright terms.
5. A race to the finish:
From the previous four points, you can probably guess why DAM helps you meet deadlines and get products to market faster. Organizing your digital assets and the associated meta-data, means less time searching and more time producing. Many DAM tools go a step further by providing workflow integration and collaboration tools to actually facilitate your project pipelines. For example, Webdam provides an online collaboration environment, called a Lightbox, enabling individuals to share project-specific files and swap notes and comments, resulting in faster collaborative turn-around.
In a future post, we will break down the DAM Return on Investment, or ROI, to see just how much time and money DAM can save your organization.

For off-campus access to electronic journals, article indexes and databases and other resources you will need:
If you are off-campus when you click on a link on an Library page to a restricted resource, the library proxy server will present a page asking you to log in with the last 11 digits of your ISUCard number and your Library password. (Set your Library password)
The request is routed through the library proxy server, sending the proxy server's on-campus IP address to the vendor website and authenticating the user as someone at Iowa State University. This will not happen if you are using a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
The proxy server will ask you to log in only once while your browser remains open. If you try to access another resource during the same session, you do not have to log in again.
Some databases are restricted to on-campus use only.
The Get It @ ISU button will help connect you to electronic full-text of an article, or help you check if we have the paper version of the journal in the library.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is offering cautious optimism about the future of Libya now that interim leaders say former dictator Moammar Gadhafi is dead.
Clinton did not confirm reports of Gadhafi's death when asked about them during a trip to Pakistan on Thursday.
Meeting with a large delegation of U.S. and Pakistani national security leaders, Clinton would only say that if true the reports offer a "new opportunity for Libya to move forward to the future."
President Barack Obama is expected to comment about Gadhafi's death during a Rose Garden appearance Thursday afternoon.

Kristen Stewart's Dines In LA At One Of Robert Pattinson's Fave Spots
Kristen was spotted with some friends at En Sushi for a birthday dinner in Los Felix on Feb. 20 and she looked a little down in the dumps. Do you think it's because she misses Rob?
Kristen Stewart isn't hiding out anymore! The 22-year-old was spotted out hotspot En Sushi and HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVE details on what she was up to!
Kristen Does Dinner In LA With Pals
We can tell you that Kristen had dinner with Rob's best friend Marcus Foster, and his bandmates Jack Standen, Suzie and CJ. Kristen was wearing yellow jeans, her signature sneakers and she took a smoke break outside the restaurant with everyone. Plus, we think it was the birthday dinner for her bestie Scout Taylor Compton, so this makes sense!
A source tells us: "Kristen Stewart was here this past Tuesday night with a group of friends, a couple of girls and guys. They were celebrating a friend's birthday and sang Happy Birthday to her. They all shared the hot chocolate cake. Kristen was very nice and sweet. She was wearing a baseball hat. Her friends were also very nice. Kristen has been here before with Robert Pattinson but he has not been here for quite some time."
Kristen & Rob Can't Reveal They've Broken Up
We told you that Rob and Kristen have been told to pretend like they're okay until the Breaking Dawn Part 2 DVDs are released.
"Rob & Kristen were asked to not announce a break-up or any relationship trouble until the DVD has been out for a few weeks and everything has sold," an insider tells us. "Since the first couple weeks are the times when the DVD will sell like wildfire. The more DVD's sold, the more money for them. So they are abiding by the request."
Rob is currently in Australia shooting The Rover and he told Kristen he wants "space" while he's down there. This means no calls, texts — total radio silence. Meanwhile, Kristen has been hanging out with her mom Jules Stewart and baking among other things.
But could Kristen finally be letting her guard down and going out now that the separation has been going on for so long? We just want K-Stew to be happy!
