… there is a universal justice ~ and the eyes of truth are always watching…
The Sun and the Moon merge in the Air Sign Libra seeking balance and harmony with self and with others. This is also the New Moon of the Sacred Union between any inharmonious energy dynamics that require our attention. We all are faced with moments in which we need to assess opposing forces in our lives and to weigh them upon the scales of Balance and Justice. Try to remove the blindfold of Injustice and see that everything is beautiful in its own way and that includes each and everyone of us.The mood seems to be one of fluctuation…weighing the pros and cons in the search for liberty, justice, peace and harmony. In certain parts of the world the scales remain unfairly imbalanced. Social injustice is being addressed on many issues…and seems to come round again when the sun and moon are conjunct in Libra …including Libra's realm of partnerships, equality and attraction.
Most people are familiar with the Law of Attraction but seem to negate the Law of Repulsion. When we accept that certain energy (even the energy within each of us) is sometimes repelling in order to achieve harmony and to accept its way. Positive and Negative are both equal and necessary charges and without them we simply can not recharge our batteries. We need to empty so that we may fill. Good/Evil, Happy/Sad, Light/Dark, Yin/Yang, Head/Heart are on the axis of opposites. Energy is ebb and flow. If the scales were completely still, they would in essence become stagnant, boring and without motion.
Partnerships of all types are affected here so pay special attention when dealing with business partnerships or engaging in any contracts of great importance or value in the next coming month due to Mercury going retrograde on October 4 – 26, 2014.
Libra marks the first day of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. As the cool weather draws near and the nights grow longer, many people want to nest with a companion. Venus is blowing a kiss with thought and feeling about merging with Other. All in not fair in love and war…or so it goes. It is the perfect New Moon to deal with relationship issues on all levels, including the relationship that we experience with ourselves. Be willing to risk honesty when weighing our own heart with the feather of our own truth. Be fair when someone professes a truth that you are not in agreement with. Each may be a truth according to their own experience and viewpoint.If we need to refine any agreements in our intimate relations, then now is the moment to initiate them.
A ritual of love and beauty can be performed in any romantic setting: A fire with lots of candles or any ambient lighting with sensual adornments like a red rose of love. Of course, water cleanses…why not enjoy a luxurious bubble bath infused with the most delicious essential oils like lavender…orange and vanilla? Treat your self to something of beauty. Remember to look beyond the Vanity Mirror of superficial beauty and look at the many mirrors of our loved ones who also reflect our inner beauty.
We all desire to be valued and loved. Are there any friends or family that you need to express your love and appreciation to? Perhaps there has been an injustice that needs to be addressed. Can we meet upon a commonground of acceptance and not take rejection to heart? Indeed this Lunation cycle begins with decision making. If we are the Universe's way of knowing itself, then Peace and Harmony truly begins with each and everyone one of us.

For most of the frequent readers of my blog, this letter has little to do with what I normally post about. However, it does serve as an example of our need to voice our opinions to local municipalities (and further, our State and Federal governments). We each have a civic responsibility to pay attention to local happenings, and be vigilant. This matter concerns an ongoing endeavor by our Town Board to place industrial wind turbines around my family's property, of which the nearest 479′ turbine is about 300 yards form our home.
UPDATE 08.19.2013 – If you are a stakeholder for the Horse Creek project, of you want to read or post comments on the State's Article 10 proceeding, please visit the public comment section of this site:
Clayton Town Board
Town of Clayton
Clayton, NY 13624
Phone: (315) 686-3512
Wednesday, August 14, 2013
*Request for inclusion in Town Meeting Minutes 08/14/2013.
Dear Clayton Town Board,
I'm a proponent of cleaner energy, but in the right locations and of the right kind.
The wide implementation of untested and unproven technologies is not only troubling to me, but something any right-thinking citizen should be vocal about raising awareness of if pursued by a governing, representational body. Similarly, and even more importantly, municipalities considering such implementations should be above board with their actions, intentions and dissemination of information, especially should they ever move to make or amend laws directly or indirectly provisioning such directives.
Putting aside the hasty arguments that rush for the development of green energy, especially those connected with a multi-national corporation or a political agenda who benefits from subsidies, tax credits and/or votes, the only two substantial motivators proposed to communities having already walked this road, are a) the monies generated for the land owners–most notably, farmers, whom I heartily support (and of all parties, are the most deserving of any benefits)–and b) the municipalities. Given modern research, any arguments that wind power somehow adds to the offsetting of existing power supply generated from fossil fuels is clumsy, and comes from entities who have not studied factual data, or have a purely political or economic agenda.
I have championed many causes in the name of progress, but as a non-particiapting resident who's property line adjoins the intended overlay of the proposed Horse Creek Wind Farm, I am opposed to any further development, and have been since conducting my own research into the direct and indirect effects of these industrial turbines.
My wife and I intentionally purchased property outside of Depauville for the peace and serenity it provides our four children, and the respite it is from our busy international public life. To think that industrialization, at the expense of our property value, sleep, auditory senses, mental health and natural sight-lines is still looming over us is quite unsettling, and does little to strengthen my assurance that my local, elected officials have my family's best interests in mind. While I certainly would appreciate higher revenue for both our farming communities and our municipalities, I will not abdicate my first responsibility of preserving the welfare of my wife and children for such an endeavor.
If I may be candid, I'm shocked this concept is still being entertained for our area, and that I'm once again writing letters of disapproval. Further still, I'm shocked that the Town has not listened to the recommendations of their own Citizens Wind Committee, made up of both pro- and anti-wind members.
I understand that the Town is duly burdened with evaluating competing interests of land owners. My intent is not to demonize any party, expect should any investigation expose those who are working subversively, or not painting the clearest picture for a community. The only motive of such individuals is personal gain at the expense of willfully ignoring the obvious negative ramifications endured by a community.
The current wind law noise ordinance does not have my family's best interests in mind, nor does the larger prospect of altering the landscape and living conditions of our surrounding area with the Horse Creek Wind Farm. And if completely omitting the designation of our residence from either map I've been presented is supposed to strengthen my assurances of quality and care, the Town would be wrong.
The Horse Creek Wind Farm can be categorized as nothing but a nuisance—a dramatic, negative change in the living conditions of our area.
In Nevada State Supreme Court case Rick Sowers vs. Forest Hills Subdivision (February, 14th 2013), the court upheld a permanent injunction to ban the development of residential wind turbines, citing that the turbines were a "nuisance in fact." This decision stemmed from extensive research that the turbines would interfere with the other residents of the Subdivision's enjoyment of their property, as being "injurious to health, indecent and offensive to the senses, and/or an obstruction to the free use of property, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life and property." If such a finding can come from a high court's examination of turbines significantly smaller than the the new 479' high ones proposed for the Horse Creek Wind Farm, how is our own Town moving forward with additional considerations?
I would hope that a well-educated Board is reading the same peer-reviewed health journals that I am, citing the rising and overwhelming evidences that wind turbines have on the health of residents living in proximity to them. As just one example, in the March 2013 edition of The Journal of Laryngology and Otology, the authors report, "There is ample evidence of symptoms arising in individuals exposed to wind turbine noise." They go on to state: "The documented (medical) symptoms are usually stress disorder-type diseases…and can represent serious harm to human health."
In the same report, Dr. Amir Farboud of Glan Clwyd Hospital in Wales is quoted as saying, "…there is an increasing body of evidence suggesting that infrasound and low frequency noise (caused by the wind turbines) have physiological effects on the ear."
While the Town voted to reject its own Citizens Wind Committee's recommendations of ensuring ambient sound levels rise no more than 6dBa above ambient, and included ample information on subsonic findings, why does the Town's current ordinance's reasoning entirely omit any findings on low frequency noise and the ensuing vibratory effects on the human body?
I would like to remind us that a 3dB increase in power is equal to a doubling in volume (10 * log10 (2) = 3.01 dB). As a record producer and audio specialist, my own acoustic measurements taken on my property show an ambient, night time measurement average of 25 dBa, and a daytime average of 35 dBa, where a 10mph wind establishes an average 55 dBa reading.
According to peer-reviewed health research, and the lack of satisfactory, technical reasoning behind the Town's current noise ordinance, pursuing any wind farm—now, or in the future—certainly can not be motivated by the ensuring of my family's quality of life. So I can only assume motivations are then financial.
The Board's promise of local labor, construction materials and indigenous revenue are tentative at best, and grossly misleading when set within the context of Article 10, giving New York State permission to usurp any shortcomings of our local agencies provisions with that of the State's own prerogatives, ones I doubt will ever be locally beneficial. For our leadership to even propose such promises, while fully knowing this legal loophole exists, is subversive at best, and insulting to those less informed on the issues at worst. The Board, in effect, could "promise" anything that appeases people, knowing full well it does not need to stand behind said promises as a higher authority is involved.
In all of the financial promises made to communities I've researched, no net figures are presented, only gross. Nor do the informing bodies ever explain that the windfall monies are generated by taxpayers and ratepayers of the locality. Likewise, deals between the wind industry and municipalities are premised on enormous property tax giveaways, something no other citizen gets. The reality is, there are profits for the developers, profits for the municipalities, and expenses for the taxpayers.
I greatly fear that our home value will drop significantly should this industrial wind farm be allowed to move forward. Who will assure we are able to retain the value upon immediate sale? The National Association of Realtors has amply recognized the definitive reductions on property values; is this something the Town is prepared to compensate my family for? Not only are the turbines taller than when I last wrote the Board in 2008, but there are additional poles for cabling, far higher than existing telephone cables.
Pursing this course any further jeopardizes the health, safety, welfare and property values of the residents living adjacent to this proposed industrial wind farm. I urge the Town to amend our local law noise ordinance to reflect the recommendations of their own Citizens Wind Committee, and desist in the pursuit of this political project.
As a job creator and owner of numerous restaurant franchises, a co-pastor of the area's largest church, an executive in professional audio, publishing and marketing, and certainly as a husband and father of four, I have lived a life that esteems human life and seeks to generate revenue for worthy causes; as such, in my personal and professional opinion, I can not ascertain how the pursuit of this wind farm betters our community, strengthens relationships, or adds value to the next generation beyond the detrimental repercussions proven in previously tested environments. I look forward to further public communications from the Town as to why it esteems the advancement of any wind developer's requests in our area.
Mr. Christopher K. Hopper

Schedule your campus visit today!
By: John Shelton, Campus Minister
"I will heal their defection, says the LORD,
I will love them freely;
for my wrath is turned away from them."
From HOS 14:1-10
As I lectored at Friday's Mass at Marian University, in the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Chapel, the words from the prophet Hosea jumped off the pages and went straight to my heart:
I have spent a lot of time on the road this March as the head men's golf coach at Marian University, traveling from Texas to Florida to Nevada, all in the span of three weeks. The team competed well. While I do not feel that I have defected from God, I am tired. I have missed my wife Alice, my 85 year old mother (who just moved into our home two months ago), my St. Elizabeth Seton church family, and my work family in the Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine. While I have prayed daily, I have been able to attend mass only once before today. I felt "malnourished," hungering for the Lord at his table. My dear wife Alice has borne the brunt of care for my mother. This was made especially difficult after one of mom's physician teams diagnosed her with a "severe status" in her battle with Alzheimer's- this week. I love these two women deeply and especially appreciate Alice's sacrificial gift of care for my mother. Their time together, with only my prayerful, non-present support, has weighed heavily on my heart and mind.
I needed to hear God's words—"I will love them (me) freely". This love was there, in spite of Israel's constant wandering and apostasy. And, he is always ready for our (my) return to him. This underscores that God's love was (and is) unmerited, without condition, constant, overflowing, just like the fountain that overflows 24/7 during the summer months in the centers of our campus. And even more encouraging to me is the fact that this gospel message in located smack dab in the middle of the Old Testament. God's love is beyond time, yet eternal in our temporal world. For me, the New Testament equivalent verse is in Hebrews 13:8. In the midst of the author's exhortation to "let mutual love continue", he states that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever". I will meditate on this truth as the days before Holy Week wind down—where His love for us is most visible.
I look forward to going home tonight and listening to my mother play her piano with all the vim and vigor of an 18 year old. Our God is Good, always.

Gwen Stefani was spotted shopping for 4th of July decorations at Party City in Hollywood, California over the weekend. She was with her sons Kingston and Zuma and also the nanny to help her on her errands. It must be really nice to have a nanny around to help out with the kids when you need it. Gwen then went on to a nearby CVS Pharmacy to get a few things before making her way home with the children.
Gwen was wearing a pair of Jean Paul Gaultier and Levi's collaboration Denim Harem pants with flip flops and a striped vest. These pants definitely suit Gwen's style so much, they are perfect for her. I wouldn't wear these though, they are definitely not my kind of pant but when worn correctly they look great! You can buy these pants at Levi's online store for £220.

Q-My Pomeranian is 11 years old. He started coughing about three months ago and a few weeks later acted as if it were hard for him to get his breath. I took him to the vet, who took X-rays and said the dog had fluid in his lungs and around the heart.
The vet gave the dog pills (furosemide) and prescription dog food. My dog is much better, but why does he still cough? The doctor told me the dog will be on this special diet the rest of his life. I wonder whether he has many years ahead of him.

It is almost Christmas time in Grade 4's tropical rainforest!! The snow has already started covering every tree… Hold on, that's not possible. Can it snow in a rainforest like ours? I am sure you all know the answer: of course not! Actually, you can find out more about the weather in the rainforest by simply asking your kids. They have already learnt many things about them, and we will to continue to do so throughout the second grading period.
The following Prezi presentation is important for them and contains all the essential facts about world rainforests. We have already seen it, but please have your kids sit down in front of the computer, watch the presentation again and take notes in their Geography notebook. A complete set of notes is necessary to properly study for a quiz next week (they can skip the environmental organizations).
In Math, we recently finished an incredibly successful multiplication unit (I am quite sure you are as thrilled as I am with their performance) and we moved into unit 4 (division meanings and facts). They are doing superb so far, so please encourage them to continue working as hard as now and support them should they get a grade lower than usual.
As you know, there are only 10 days left (only 10, time flies!) to go on holidays. Grade 4 students are also doing their best to prepare a great Christmas show for you. A play, dances and songs that we all hope will be a wonderful way to start the holiday season and celebrate together.
I do not want to finish this post without acknowledging the Outstanding Students that excelled during these last two weeks:
Most Improved Student: Juliana Olmos and Santiago Cuenca.
Best Behavior: Virginia Morón and Adela Maestre.
More Consistently Bright: Camilo Lacouture and Luis Fernando Correa.
Most Participative Student: Sara Orozco.
Good Job, kids!! And keep working to appear in the next list of Outstanding Students!!! 🙂

When Buddhism first came to China from India, one of the most important tasks required for its establishment was the translation of the Buddhist scriptures from Sanskrit into Chinese. This work involved a great many people, such as the renowned monk National Master Kumarajiva (fifth century), who led an assembly of over 800 people to work on the translation of the Tripitaka (Buddhist canon) for over a decade. Because of the work of individuals such as these, nearly the entire Buddhist Tripitaka of over a thousand texts exists to the present day in Chinese.
Now the banner of the Buddha's Teachings is being firmly planted in Western soil, and the same translation work is being done from Chinese into English. Since 1970, the Buddhist Text Translation Society (BTTS) has been making a paramount contribution toward this goal. Aware that the Buddhist Tripitaka is a work of such magnitude that its translation could never be entrusted to a single person, the BTTS, emulating the translation assemblies of ancient times, does not publish a work until it has passed through four committees for primary translation, revision, editing, and certification. The leaders of these committees are Bhikshus (monks) and Bhikshunis (nuns) who have devoted their lives to the study and practice of the Buddha's teachings. For that reason, all of the works of the BTTS emphasize the application of the Buddha's teachings in terms of actual practice.
The translations of canonical works by the Buddhist Text Translation Society are accompanied by extensive commentaries by the Venerable Tripitaka Master Hsüan Hua.

I'm coming to my first Networking@Night tomorrow. Any tips?
Ask questions (lots of them). Don't talk about yourself! Ask thoughtful questions — and actually listen to the answers.
Be a connector. Instead of focusing only on making your own connections, make an effort to connect others. When speaking with someone, think about whether there's someone else at the event who could help (or be helped) by this person, and then make an introduction.
Discuss commonalities. People tend to gravitate toward those with whom they share similarities. This is known as the similarity attraction effect. When meeting others with shared traits or experiences, be sure to point out the similarities you have to increase perceived social compatibility.
Don't be a product-pusher. Nobody likes the person who attends events to push products. Networking events may result in leads, but should never be used as a way to directly sell or promote your products.
Smile. Smiling conveys happiness, openness and confidence; not to mention that smiling can actually help you feel happier. Smile liberally to make yourself as approachable as possible.
Bring business cards. This is a no-brainer, right? But it's good to have a reminder.

One thing you can always count on with Carla Bozulich and her Evangelista project is presence. But while her music has an immediacy to it that urges you to wallow in its distended structures, miserable repetitions, and noisy excursions, her raw, unhinged lyrics often have forward trajectory: poetic yet narrative, abstracted yet linear, isolated yet cumulative. It's thrilling to follow her music because it feels like at any moment Bozulich could just as likely burst into a beautiful, heart-wrenching melody as a discordant wail, no matter what the music behind it is signifying.
"Artificial Lamb," the first track off her 2011 album In Animal Tongue (TMT Review), continues a similar yet perhaps subtler approach, with lonely repetitive guitar accentuated by Bozulich's fluid vocal stylings: "I'm metal, I'm metal/ I'm an automating thing/ Oh darling dear, oh darling dear/ I'll be hiding inside until the earth disappears." The video matches the song's thrust, where the fluidity of living meets mechanical reality, and the movement of life comes with planetary implications, a study in "everything-ology" that conjures what Split Foster rightly described as "pagan rituals, exalted deaths, and erotic visions." Look in its cracked eye and you'll see planets.

|(Kop, 2011, p. 26)
Our digital native students may be able to use technologies, but that does not mean they can learn from them. Being able to read and write never meant you could therefore learn from books (Laurillard, 2013, p. xvii).
Many of the academic staff I work with in the course of my job are skilled in using digital technology to create opportunities for students to drive their own learning. But their students ask for help. So perhaps I have two related questions to explore in this course:
- (With apologies to Bain (2004), how can we help our students to develop the habits of heart and mind which will enable them to become autonomous learners online?
- How far can heutagogy work in practice? As Plato wrote
But how will you look for something when you don't in the least know what it is? How on earth are you going to set up something you don't know as the object of your search? To put it another way, even if you come right up against it, how will you know that what you have found is the thing that you didn't know? (Plato, 1961, 80.d).

For those of us born before the Carter administration, Merv (he was always just "Merv") was one of those transcendent personalities that was always on TV in some form or another, either on his own show or as a guest on "The Tonight Show" or in the news for his business wheelings and dealings. The guy who first made his name singing "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" made international headlines in 1986 in selling his Merv Griffin Enterprises, with its cash cows "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!," to Coca-Cola (then owner of Columbia Pictures) for a whopping $250 million in 1986.
Merv genuinely loved television and had a knack for creating it. I remember having lunch with him and his longtime producing associate Ernie Chambers at the Beverly Hilton (or "Merverly Hilton," as Army Archerd cleverly dubbed it after Merv bought the hotel) and him assuring me that the his latest syndicated quiz show "Click" was going to be a huge hit, as was its host, young Ryan Seacrest. He had a great, all-encompassing laugh that could stop traffic. Hotel guests and sundry passersby kept coming up to our table to shake his hand and tell him how much they loved his show, etc. He had a warm smile and wink for every one of them.
One of the most sincere tributes to Merv place in the pop culture firmament came from "Seinfeld" in its final season, in "The Merv Griffin Show" seg where Kramer finds the talkshow's old set in a dumpster and decides to recreate it in his living room.
Thanks to YouTube, there's no shortage of clips of Merv at his best, behind the desk of his own talk show, which ran for nearly 25 years in one form or another, from the New Frontier era of 1962 through the mid-Reagan years. Below is a great representative clip of "The Merv Griffin Show" from 1981 featuring the Carpenters (Merv naturally gravitated to musical guests, and I chose the Carpenters from all the options available because I love them, even though Karen, sadly, doesn't look so good by this point). Below that is a glimpse of Merv's humble beginnings as a band singer for Freddy Martin and his signature tune. With that kind of charm, fabulous smile and 1000-watt twinkle in his eye, it's clear that this was a guy who was destined to go far.

Small business owners plan to exit, but aren't exit planning
Small business owners put their blood, sweat, tears and resources into building their businesses.
But when it comes to figuring how to make a graceful exit from the business, most are unprepared, according to a Securian-sponsored nationwide study of small business owners.
The Securian Small Business Owner Life Stage Study focused on successful private businesses in a variety of industries. The businesses surveyed in August and September 2015 have an average of 27 employees and annual revenue ranging from $250,000 to more than $20 million. Results of the study were released in April 2016.
The vast majority of small business owners don't have a plan for exiting the business
- 72 percent don't have a plan and aren't taking action
- Only 14 percent have a formal exit strategy in place
- Another 14 percent are working on a plan, but haven't completed it
A majority will leave within a decade
The exit is not that far down the road for most small business owners.
29 percent
expect to leave the business within five years
54 percent
anticipate being gone within 10 years
Selling or transferring the business is the most likely exit strategy
37 percent
want to transfer the business to a family member
25 percent
want to sell to a partner or key employee
25 percent
want to sell to a third party
10 percent
expect to close or wind the business down
The importance of planning
Don't leave the future of your business to chance. Prepare yourself and your business for a graceful transition.Learn more about exit strategies

I suggest that we register a #gotmead on some IRC server or other.
Good idea Teucer, why don't you see about doing that and send me some info on what you find.
Is it tasty . . . precious?
There's a #gotmead on irc.magicstar.net now that I have registered. I chose magicstar because I know I've seen websites with built-in chat clients for that server, so it can be set up to be accessed via the site. At the moment, of course, you'll need an IRC client.
Since I'm not generally availible for chatting on saturday night, someone who is should PM me. If you're online now I can just op you in the channel; otherwise I'll give you the password for telling ChanServ to do so.

Draws From Multiple Data Sources to Measure Housing Market Stability and Trends; Key Findings Show Many States, Metros Still Outside Stable Range
Draws From Multiple Data Sources to Measure Housing Market Stability and Trends; Key Findings Show Many States, Metros Still Outside Stable Range
MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwired - Mar 26, 2014) - Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today released its inaugural Freddie Mac Multi-Indicator Market Index(SM) (MiMi(SM)). MiMi is a new publicly-accessible tool that monitors and measures the stability of the nation's housing market, as well as the housing markets of all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the top 50 metro markets.
MiMi combines proprietary Freddie Mac data with current local market data to calculate a range of equilibrium for each single-family housing market covered. Monthly, MiMi uses this data to show, at a glance, where each market stands relative to its own stable range. MiMi also indicates how each market is trending -- whether it is moving closer to, or further away from, its stable range. A market can fall outside its stable range by being too weak to generate enough demand for a well-balanced housing market or by overheating to an unsustainable level of activity.
For a more detailed description of MiMi, read the Executive Perspective on MiMi by Freddie Mac Chief Economist Frank Nothaft.
"MiMi is the right housing index at the right time as we once again transition to a purchase-dominated housing market," said Nothaft. "With recent history demonstrating that housing activity differs substantially from market to market, MiMi offers a fresh perspective on housing at the local level just as we are entering this new purchase market landscape. MiMi helps to pinpoint each market's 'sweet spot' by focusing on local housing differences while also tracking the fundamentals necessary for a stable market. MiMi draws from multiple data sources -- including Freddie Mac proprietary data generated through our daily business with more than 2,000 mortgage lenders across the country -- to create current insights into how the housing market at the national, state, and local level is trending."
News Facts:
In today's first release of MiMi, several key findings emerged that highlight the current state of the nation's housing market as of January 2014:
Quote attributable to Freddie Mac Deputy Chief Economist Len Kiefer:
"With this month's MiMi release, we're seeing a few themes from the nation's improving housing markets. In many markets a better employment picture, along with some income growth, makes it possible for more people who are considering buying a home to stay within reasonable payment-to-income ratios on their monthly mortgages. But some high cost markets are already starting to feel an affordability pinch. At the same time, those markets with a strong energy-related presence are posting solid house price gains supported by employment and wage growth. Conversely, many markets are still in recovery mode with ground to make up. Out of the 50 metro areas that MiMi tracks, only four are in range in January, but 35 are improving. As we enter the spring homebuying season, we hope to see recent trends continue with more markets moving closer to their long-term stable range."
MiMi assesses where each market is relative to its own long-term stable range by looking at home purchase applications, payment-to-income ratios (changes in home purchasing power based on house prices, mortgage rates and household income), proportion of on time mortgage payments in each market, and the local employment picture. The four indicators are combined to create a composite MiMi value for each market. For more detail on MiMi see the FAQs. MiMi is released at 10 a.m. EDT monthly. The most current version can be found at FreddieMac.com/mimi.
Freddie Mac was established by Congress in 1970 to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the nation's residential mortgage markets. Freddie Mac supports communities across the nation by providing mortgage capital to lenders. Today Freddie Mac is making home possible for one in four home borrowers and is one of the largest sources of financing for multifamily housing.

An international court has denied a request from former Liberian president Charles Taylor to serve the rest of his 50-year prison sentence in Rwanda.
The Special Court for Sierra Leone ruled Wednesday there are no reasons why Taylor should not serve out his prison term in Britain's Frankland Prison.
Taylor was jailed there in September 2013, after the court's appeals chamber upheld his conviction on charges of aiding and abetting war crimes and crimes against humanity during Sierra Leone's civil war.
The former Liberian leader argued his prison conditions in Britain are unsafe and degrading, and that his wife and daughters are unable to visit him.
The court said conditions of his imprisonment meet international standards, and his wife has not complied with British visa requirements.
Taylor led Liberia from 1997 to 2003, when he resigned under increasing pressure at home and abroad. He was later arrested and turned over to the Sierra Leone court.
Prosecutors said that in exchange for raw diamonds, Taylor armed and gave guidance to rebel forces who killed or mutilated thousands of people during the war.

The Biology Department at La Salle University strives to give students the opportunity to perform directed research (Bio 480-481) under the mentorship of a faculty research adviser. The Department also has a strong tradition of supporting student research performed at the La Salle University campus or off-campus institutions. Students can elect to perform research for credit or on a volunteer basis. Credits will normally be awarded in the spring semester of the academic year that research is performed. Note that only one (1) section) of Biology Research (Bio 480) can count towards the B.S. degree requirements.
For qualified students a biology internship is available. Credit for Biological Internship (Bio. 460-461) can be given in the Fall or Spring Semester. Only one semester of Internship can count as a required biology course needed for the B.S. degree. Internships generally take place at off-campus institutions and facilities.
To be considered for the Biology Research or Biology Internship courses, the student must―
- Have a minimum G.P.A. of a 2.80.
- Identify a research or internship adviser/mentor.
- Present a tentative research/internship proposal.
- Get final approval from the Department Chair.

Windows 7 Professional Clean Install on SDD
I have a new Hp Elitebook 8540p which has had a clean SSD. I am going to install windows 7 Professional and had a few questions about partitions and drivers etc.
The first is whether I should partition the SSD for the Win 7 install and then use a second partition for data. Is there any benefit with this on an SSD?
I reckon that Win 7 will probably get itself sorted with all the drivers that it needs and HP Update will clear up the ones that it doesnt. If anyone knows different can you let me know also!
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a Win7 installation DVD to use for this install, or are you running the HP Recovery Disks? The Win7 installer is driver-complete, with newer arriving quickly via optional Windows Updates. Using a Win7 Installer leaves out all of the HP bloatware and useless factory utilities which have better version built into Win7.
Here are tips to get a perfect reinstall of factory Win7: Reinstalling Windows 7 - Windows 7 Forums
For an SSD, if you have room to keep the User folders on the same drive then having a separate partition is up to you. One reason to do so is to keep the Win7 backup image small so that if it becomes irreparable, you can reimage the OS/Programs and the data will be waiting and current in its own partition. But the data must be backed up separately.

I have a windows 7 installation DVD. I agree about the HP "bloatware" and I'll have a look at the link. Good argument for the partition, how should I determine the size for the windows installation?
Thanks again

Whether it is SDD or normal HD, you need to take note of certain criterion.
First of all, the more partitions you make, the slower your system goes (I can 100% confirm this). As my advice, you still need at least one more additional partition besides the core partition for your OS (operating system).
In summary, you need at least two partitions (highly recommended), just in case, your Drive C which the OS installed is affected (assumption), your Drive D is still secured. It is advisable to store your backup or personal data in Drive D (drive without OS).

First of all, the more partitions you make, the slower your system goes
HDD speeds are not uniform across the surface- the outer edge has the highest transfer rates and the fastest access times. The first created partition (the OS) is the fastest because it is located at this outer edge. So, if you create a single 100GB partition and install the OS, programs and also copy your data on it, then you don't know if system files are located at the end or at the beginning of the HDD. So this is not a good idea, also if the OS gets nuked you loose data.
But its not that if you have 10 partitions, windows will slow down. Its true that for an HDD, accessing data from multiple partitions will lead to increased disk head movements but this is offset by factors such as defrag and superfetch. Millisecond differences are not noticeable. It also makes sense to keep more frequently used data files on a faster partition. Of course, if you install two editions of windows, one on the outer edge, the other on the inner there'll be a noticeable difference but thats for benchmarking and not real world.
You should at least have 2 partitions for the OS and the data and maybe another one or two for games etc.
Of course, if you have an SSD like the OP does, ignore the above. Seek times are virtually nil for SSDs and most people cant afford to use disk space for data because SSDs are generally quite expensive.

Please read carefully... I guess you have forseen the statement. I did give recommendation to create two partitions.
Besides, the slow down is small (it varies across hardwares). The increase of partitions in a drive will slow down the pc in reality, not a benchmark only; I had tested that on many pcs and I am well acknowledged of it.
I can say, your pc is at least 2 cores and above, so you may not notice of that.
For those people who are very sensitive in speed, I as the example, will certainly concern about this criteria. Of course, with the technology nowdays, no one cares about the amount of partitions or the memory utility of a software. My brother has a Core i7 with 4GB RAM and a large volume of disk space, the pc still works fantastically even with huge load of memory by softwares and without defragmenting for months.

An energetic economic game for 2 to 6 players.
Earning money with electric power? Earning lots of money with electric power? A very good idea!!! Should I use coal or oil to generate power in the old-fashioned or will there be a shortage of those resources in the future? Will there be a future of burning garbage? Certainly nuclear power is very exciting and as long as the government will manage the nuclear waste there will be a lot of profit.
Of course, you can use more ecological friendly power and be independent of resources. But will such power plants be powerful enough for the customers in the future? Naturally, you must watch your competitors to see what plants they build, which cities they have in their net, what resources they depend on, and what new power plants they find interesting.

'I Feel the Feeling I Forgot'—Highlights from Phish's Return
At 8:18 on Tuesday December 31, 2002, everything was right again. After some very appropriate background music by soundman Paul Languedoc, the lights went down and the sellout crowd in Madison Square Garden cheered as loudly as if they'd just won the lottery. And for all intents and purposes, they did. This was Phish at Madison Square Garden and this was the hardest ticket in the history of rock concerts. At 8:18, Phish took the stage and ended the 800+ days of self-imposed hiatus. 'That moment when I go onstage,' Trey was quoted as saying, 'is going to be everything that I can do to make it a high explosive, incredible show from the second we walk out. A powerful, emotional, real moment. I'm going to give it every ounce of my being.' And from the opening notes of 'Piper', to the closing notes of 'Velvet Sea', Trey and the band did just that. Phish used these four shows to return to their roots of the hard rocking jams, circa 1995, to take their fans on that magical journey that made us follow them around the country in the first place, until that fateful day in October. At 8:18 on Tuesday December 31, 2002, everything was right again.Over the course of New Years Eve, and the subsequent three shows in Hampton, Phish proved over and over, to both the fans and themselves, that the hiatus was the right thing to do. Standing in stark contrast to the ending tours, Phish's four night run was filled with energy and exuberance, boiling at points, overflowing at others, which is remarkably similar to how the band played in 1995, which was the 'Big Bang Era'. The band essentially felt at that time that every song needed to end in some sort of a peak jam that 'exploded'. As the years wore on, they shied away from that belief, eventually being replaced by the 'cow-funk' of 1997, the meandering ambiance of 1998, and the groove from 2000. The sense that 'anything can happen' that was evident during tours in 1995, came to the fore during this tour as well, highlighted by the no-longer-played-but-never-forgotten 'Mound'. Last played on 11/19/96 in Kansas City, the song was a fan favorite in the early 90s, but was abandoned by the middle of that decade, for no other reason than the band forgot how to play it. Countless requests by fans to bring the song back went unheeded. Unheeded, that is, until New Years Eve 2002. By playing 'Mound', in the first set nonetheless, the band proved to all the skeptics in attendance, that not only did they love the old songs as much as we did, but they were committed to them as much as we were. The first set ended with two of the oldest songs, 'Squirming Coil' and 'David Bowie', completing a new-song-less first set back and in fact, with the exception of the opening song, there wasn't a song in the first set that debuted later than 1994, and all were played in that era's style. The mutual energy of the band and crowd was on display during 'Wilson', which was, perhaps, the most energetic version of this song ever produced on stage, featuring some of the loudest audience chanting ever, in addition to the Tom Hanks prank, which would've made the Phish of yesteryear proud. It was the long lost art of the Phish 'mindfuck'. As the New Year's Eve show unfolded and progressed, the band repeatedly passed over new material off of Round Room, in place of older favorites, easing the concerns of many in attendance who were prepared for a _Round Room_ heavy show. While the second set opened with a new song, 'Waves', the strongest song off the band's latest release, the rest of the set featured all songs that had their debut before early 1997. And each of those songs were, essentially, devoid of any of the stylistic jamming that evolved after 1995. Each was a hard rocking jam, notably 'Carini', which enthused the crowd as the band bowled them over with twice as much energy as they were giving off. The 'Divided Sky', the second song of the set which segued out of the 'Waves', was played powerfully by the band, and the 'pause' was as lengthy as its ever been, inciting the crowd to yell as loud as they ever have, as they pleaded with Trey to play 'that note'. This was, yet another 1995-type instance, as in later years the clapping and cheering at this moment was more perfunctory than anything. On New Year's Eve, it was anything but perfunctory. The set closed with 'Character Zero' which, while never being anyone's favorite set closer, was played with a ferocity not seen since the song's inception. This is how 'Zero' SHOULD be played. But perhaps the best and most memorable moment from a memorable show was the 'Seven Below—->NYE'. Picking a brand new song to bring in the new year was a ballsy move, but the band pulled it off, aided by some spectacular fireworks, a man-made near blizzard, and countless 'angels' prancing around the Garden, all of which combined to make up one of the most indescribable, and amazing, moments in rock history, despite what VH1's lists would have us believe. I've never seen anything like this, and I assume I never will again, because it could never be duplicated. That moment was exactly what the hiatus was all about. Going into the show, it was easy to see how performing this show was not an easy task for the band. The highest expectations for a rock concert, perhaps ever, awaited the band at 8:18. And Phish stepped up to the plate, and hit a looooooong home run. The only question now was, 'Could they keep it up?' With the New Years Eve show under their belt, the band rolled into Hampton for a three show, extended weekend, where it was clear they were going to flex their musical muscles. Hampton generally brings out the best in both the band and crowd because of the festival-like atmosphere that encompasses 'The Strip', a serious of six hotels within one city block of each other, and the venue. The NYE show, while arguably being the most energetic event to ever take place at the Garden (supplanting Larry Johnson's infamous 'Four Point Play'), was devoid of real 'exploratory' jamming, the likes of which helped elevate Phish to the status they've currently achieved. And from the get-go on night one, it was clear what they intended to do. During the opening song combination of 'Chalkdust' and 'Bathtub Gin', the band really let loose, with the jamming much better and more concise in the latter song than the former. Continuing the older 'feel' of the NYE show, the first two songs made it clear to everyone that the band had made a conscious effort to get back to their roots, proving that the rocking jams from New Years Eve were no fluke. Both jams continued that very 1995 feel, with the noticeable lack of the jamming styles that came after that year. The 'It's Ice' that followed continued the trend, despite being shorter than normal. However the rest of the set was very mixed, and the set as a whole suffered from a lack of energy, with the exception of a mistakenly-played second 'Character Zero'. The second set, on the other hand, featured some truly inspired jamming in the '46 Days' opener, which exhibited the band's first foray in the 1998 style of jamming, with a long, watery, meandering jam which led into 'Simple', the most butchered song of the four shows. While mistakes and flubs (a.k.a: rust) were present throughout the four shows, it was notable in 'Simple' as the band skipped an entire verse, which sunk the song, working in conjunction with a sub-par jam. Yet another 'Rift' song, 'My Friend, My Friend', followed, thrilling the crowd looking for the continued presence of the older material. But surprisingly, it was the 'Mexican Cousin' encore that was the unexpected hit of the four nights, with the entire crowd singing the infectious lyric, 'I wanna, wanna kiss your Oooooooh'. It may seem cheesy, and it is to an extent, but I couldn't help myself and sung that lyric all the way back to my hotel. On the second night, the lack of energy that seemed to plague the first night was gone, as the band returned to the stage to play a show that simply blew the walls off 'The Mothership'. Without question the strongest and most even of the three nights, the first set was light years ahead of anything that could've been expected from a band that hasn't played publicly in two and a half years. The peak 'Big Bang' show, 1/3 was a rager from start to finish. The 'Tweezer' opener set the stage, and while faltering at points, served its purpose by warming the band up for the 'Theme From the Bottom' which was played furiously by the band. The energy emanating from the band was indescribable, as they ripped through a song that had become as stale as any in 2000. And once again, it's here that the validity of the hiatus is again realized. The ensuing three songs, 'Foam', 'Pebbles and Marbles' and 'You Enjoy Myself' completed one of the best, and most powerful, sets of Phish in recent memory. The jam in 'Pebbles' was just short of raging, featuring some incredible layering by Page underneath Mike's grooving bass. The jam settled down into a distinct 'Down With Disease' jam, headed by both Mike and Trey, before returning to the lyric completing a very successful debut of the song. And finally, the 'YEM' that completed the set was magical. The song had to be restarted because the band wasn't on the same page, but once they got going, it was as if they'd played it yesterday. The jam was huge, Mike thumping away with his envelope filter in full force, and the ensuing vocal jam was as good as ever, as Chris Kuroda played games with his new lights. The band walked off stage to an ovation as loud as Hampton, and its 13,800 occupants have ever produced. And the second set had yet to be played. As the band emerged for the second set, there was a definite feeling around the venue that, potentially, something special was happening. I repeatedly thought to myself that one of the main differences between 1995 and 2000 was in this particular instance, the Phish of 2000 frequently didn't, or couldn't, capitalize on great moments, with other great moments. With a song catalog that far exceeded 1995's, the band sometimes seemed to be overwhelmed by the pressure of playing without a setlist. For these four shows, Trey was clearly and repeatedly checking songs on a sheet of paper, and it resulted in a strong second set to compliment the first. The 'Birds of a Feather' to open the set was an intense version, and could have been played in response to the rubber chicken (yes, rubber chicken. It would make another appearance on the following night as well) that some fans by the stage entrance lowered to Mike using caution tape. However the clear cut highlight of the set, show and tour was the 'Wolfman's Brother'. 'Wolfman's', never a quintessential 1995 song, really came into its own during 1997, as evidenced on 'Slip, Stich and Pass'. However, the Hampton '03 'Wolfmans' should go down as one of the best versions they've ever done. The jam started off in standard fashion, but eventually was brought down by both Mike and Fishman, allowing Trey and Page to layer on top of them. The band, as a foursome, just continuously built layer on top of layer as they brought the jam to a peak and just exploded in a frenzy of musical cacophony that almost blew the roof off of Hampton Coliseum. The peak 'Big Bang' moment of the four shows, this jam is not to be missed, and is a must hear. The 'Makisupa' that followed was equally incredible in a quieter, mellower way, with a very apropos comment from Trey: 'Woke up this morning…..at 3:00 in the afternoon…....phatty!!' However, it was the 'Possum' set closer that really sealed the deal on the set, and show, as it featured an ending jam eerily familiar in style 'David Bowie', in the way it gets dark and minor, before exploding in a raucous outburst of musical energy, yet another 'Big Bang'. Perhaps afraid of 'dropping the ball', the way some people accused them of on NYE, the band came out and played the unquestionable best 'Contact' in history, with Trey conducting the band in Trey Anastasio Band style, giving both Page and Mike solos, while the other three members played repetitive chords underneath. To complete the song, Trey grabbed Mike's bass while Page faked playing Trey's guitar with his teeth, all the while with Mike smashing two cymbals together. It was a quintessential moment in many fan's Phishtory as it was clear the band was having loads of fun on stage, something that cannot be said of most shows in the last years (see: the end of 9/18/2000). Each member was having the time of their lives, especially Trey, who was acting like a little kid with a new toy. It is here, that once again, the validity of the hiatus is realized. 'Tweprise' followed and sealed the deal, making this one of the better Phish shows in recent memory. The crowd's reaction at the end of the song was nothing short of unrestrained jubilation, as everyone in attendance was reminded of exactly what Phish, when they want to be, are capable of. The third show as a whole was very up and down in terms of song selection, with tremendous highs, almost on par with the previous nights, intertwined with some not-quite-as-highs. Quick run throughs of both 'Llama', another older song, and 'Boogie On' got things started before 'Maze' took off. One of the better versions, the song featured ripping leads from both Page and Trey, with the former hammering away on the keys, and the latter giving a clinic on how to use the Wah-Wah pedal. The rest of the set was decent, with rust shining through in both 'Bouncin' and 'Split Open'. In the second set, 'Rock and Roll' got things started and it was clear that the band, specifically Trey and Mike were pumped up for the second, and final, set as they yelled the ending 'ALLRIGHT!!' repeatedly with unbridled passion. However, after playing 'Mike's Song', the band committed an old mistake. In an attempt to break away from the age-old progression of 'Mikes—>Hydrogen—>Weekapaugh', the band routinely inserts different songs in the middle, which stems from the fact that until 3/30/93, the band played played 'Hydrogen' after 'Mike's' 99% of the time. However too often, they counter the quintessential dark and evil Phish jam in 'Mike's', with a slower song that brings everyone down. Often, it's 'Albuquerque', but today it was 'Mountains in the Mist'. And despite the lyrics of the song clearly being aimed at the audience, it definitely brought down the energy. However, the 'Weekapaugh', sans Mike bass solo, picked things up again, before settling into the fantastic combination of 'What's the Use?—>Down With Disease'. However, it was the 'Fast Enough For You', yet another song from 'Rift', that highlighted the set, as Trey's fantastic lead/rhythm style of playing was never better on this somewhat rare song. The band closed their four show holiday run with 'Friday', which may or may not have been a nod to the upcoming Winter Tour, which begins on a Friday. Over the course of the four shows, the band as a whole displayed an enjoyment fans have not seen in years. Many people have made similar comments during the hiatus, specifically after attending Trey Band shows, where Trey was hopping around the stage and enjoying himself in a way many younger fans had never seen. However, this time, the comments were made after Phish shows. The four Holiday shows provided fans with what might be a rare glimpse into Phish history. Gone, at least temporarily, were the groove-oriented jams like 'Sand' and 'Gotta Jiboo'. As well, there was virtually no ambiance during the run, a style that sunk many a jam in the latter years. And as well, with sporadic exceptions, 1997's funk was gone, and all Bluegrass was non-existent. What was left over, was the rock-n-roll style of jamming that was in overabundance during the band's 'Rift' period, the album which seemed to be the centerpiece of this tour. As well, one could not help but notice that absent was the feeling of formality that surrounded shows and the passiveness that hindered the band in its last years. In its place was a new sense of desire, as the band once again played as if they had something to prove. What's amazing is that Phish took two and a half years off to explore the various musical styles that interested each member, in hopes of adding to each's sound, to bring Phish as a whole to new musical peaks. Ironically, the end result was Phish's sound regressing, rather than progressing, which clearly enthused the both the band and fans alike. Trey's comments during the '2001' set closer underscored this matter as he mentioned to the crowd how happy the band was that, essentially, we're their fans, and they love us as much as we love them. Its always nice to hear this coming from our heroes, as it would be so easy for them to take their fans for granted. But they don't. And we no longer take them for granted. Which is why its easy, for me at least, to overlook the sloppiness and rust that plagued the shows at points. 'Yeah it was sloppy. So what?', said many fans I spoke with. As much as people would like to think that they're 'pissing in our ears, and we're happily lapping it up', I cant help but feel like, once again, I'm in on the most private joke in the world. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.....TOM HANKS!!!!!

Vertigo causes the sensation of things moving around and nothing is still, accompanied of instability, nauseas, vomiting, etc.
A dysfunction in the upper cervical area (C1-C2 proprioceptors) and/or the vestibular structures (inner ear) might cause vertigo. The propioceptors in the cervical spine and the vestibular structures play an important role in the equilibrium of the entire human body.
This dysfunction can be produced by: falls, lesions, accidents and whiplash or be related to migraines and Meniere's disease, among others.
