Opinions Abound at Capital-Access Forum
Inside the Treasury building on Tuesday, the talk was all about high-growth start-ups.
At a conference called "Access to Capital: Fostering Growth and Innovation for Small Companies," panels of entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and government administration officials discussed the challenge of securing funds for "gazelle" firms – those top-performing companies that take off rapidly and provide jobs.
Karen Mills, who heads the Small Business Administration, said in opening remarks that such firms are "out-innovating and out-competing the rest of the world." Yet, the recession has crimpled their growth: Only six venture-backed companies went public in 2008, down from 86 the year before, Mills noted, and in the first half of 2009, early-stage investing deals fell about 40%.
Representatives from smaller venture capital firms said they are struggling to raise money from institutional investors such as pension funds. The money instead is going to top-tier VC firms, a topic that the WSJ explored in the article, "A Have and Have-Not Venture World."
"It's time for us to find ways to get investors back in the game," Mills said. "Our challenge in government is to find low-cost, high-return solutions to fill these gaps."
But there were mixed opinions from the panelists and audience participants on the government's role in getting the market back on track. Some expressed frustration with government-instituted compliance burdens.
"One thing that weights us down is regulatory burden from the SEC," said panelist Ann Miura-Ko, partner at Floodgate Capital, which provides early-stage investment to start-ups. "That causes back-office issues with us."
Some attendees said Securities and Exchange Commission rules are outdated and don't account for new funding platforms that are online. Jessica Jackley, chief executive of ProFounder.com, a crowdfunding website that we wrote about here, called for federal laws to trump state laws. The process of getting money from investors in different states—particularly through an Internet-based platform—is complicated and prohibitive for the average small-business owner, she said.
Audience members and panelists alike called for solid and more-predictable government policy. A member of the venture-capital community (seated in the audience) said the rules and constraints aren't a problem so long as he can "know what the hell the constraints are."
On the panel, Silicon Valley Bank president Greg Becker expressed a need for reform specifically in the Food and Drug Administration. The agency, he said, has shifting regulations that discourage life-science companies.
On the other hand, several attendees argued for more government programs. One audience member suggested that there be grants to match angel investments up to $1 million.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said such a program would be hard for some taxpayers to swallow. (Read more about Geithner's remarks here.)
Silicon Valley Bank's Becker suggested a loan-guarantee program specifically targeting clean-tech companies. "There's a gap between start-up capital and commercialization that isn't filled by anyone," he said of the industry.
Another audience member said some of the existing government programs are effective but not well-advertised. He called for "more visibility and education" to the general public about what advice and capital-access services are offered in their communities.

Coe College senior Elizabeth Steele has been awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship grant. The Fulbright will provide funding for Steele to teach in Serbia during the 2012-13 academic year.
Steele will graduate on May 6 with a major in political science and a minor in economics. While at Coe, she has served as a Writing Center Consultant. On campus, she is a member of Political Science Club, Multicultural Fusion and the V-Day Committee. Steele volunteers off-campus at the Community Health Free Clinic and as an English language tutor at the Catherine McAuley Center. Currently, she is working for a strategic communications firm in Washington, D.C. as part of a semester-long internship program.
After her sophomore year, Steele traveled to Serbia for a May Term class taught by Coe Theatre Professor Dennis Barnett on theater and social change, which sparked her interest in the Balkan region.
"Serbia is complex in many ways," said Steele. "There is an intensely traumatic interpretation of history, but a palpable warmth of the Serbian people. Serbia cannot be understood in a month or described in a sentence, but it got into me in such a way that I hoped I would return one day."
In Serbia, Steele was able to spend time with a current Fulbright grantee and her good friend, Katie Blanchard, who graduated from Coe in 2010.
"Katie is truly an incredible and accomplished young woman, and I admire her boldness and sense of adventure. She planted the idea of a Fulbright grant in my mind and helped me through the application process," said Steele. "In my conversations with Katie she emphasized the value of both living and teaching abroad, something that interested me immensely."
As a teaching assistant, Steele will be aiding English teachers in teaching about American culture and the English language.
"The Fulbright Teaching Assistantship program in Serbia is relatively new, and I hope to help the faculty in novel ways to teach language and facilitate cultural exchange," said Steele. "This program is about forming personal connections, and while I plan to focus on listening and observing, I will be proud to share my experiences growing up in the Midwest. I hope it will show that there is more to America than D.C. and New York."
After spending a year in Serbia, Steele plans to be open to whatever opportunities might manifest themselves. Eventually she would like to pursue graduate studies in international development, specifically as it relates to women's health. Her long-term career plans are to work in policy research and eventually teach.
During the application process, Steele received guidance from several Coe faculty members, including Barnett, English Professor and Fulbright Program advisor Ann Struthers, Political Science Professor Lynda Barrow, Psychology Professor Thomas Moye and Political Science Professor Bruce Nesmith.
A native of Shoreview, Minn., Liz is the daughter of Brian Steele and Susan Resh Steele.
Established in 1946 and sponsored by the United States Department of State, the Fulbright Program aims to increase mutual understanding between Americans and the peoples of other countries, through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills. The Fulbright Program is the largest international exchange program, providing funding for students, scholars and professionals to undertake graduate study, advanced research and teaching. The Fulbright U.S. Student Program sends approximately 1,500 students per year to more than 140 countries.

win 7 not booting in XP system
I have installed windows 7 beta on my windows XP machine,SATA hard disk. Issue: Unable to boot into win 7. XP boots fine.
C:\ had XP. Installed windows 7 to F:\ drive.
After installing I could boot into windows 7 and could work on it.
Later i found that windows 7 would boot (with the windows 7 boot manager) only when the windows 7 installation disc was on dvd drive.Otherwise only XP is shown in the boot selection menu - the standard old menu.
Now, even with the dvd, it does not boot into win 7. Instead it goes to the win7 install screen. But the installed files are still there in F drive. So, tried repair in win 7 for start up, but no problems were found.
Tried easyBCD from within XP, but that didnt help booting to win 7.
One peculiar thing I noticed is, although I installed win 7 to F: drive, when seen from within win 7, the installation drive was shown as C: drive. In reality the C:\ drive contains the xp installation. From within win Xp, win 7 installation files are in F: drive only. Is this the problem?
Now how do i boot into windows 7? Will adding some lines to boot.ini help in getting the windows 7 to the OS choice list?
Configured EasyBCD from within XP, but there is no effect in boot.ini of XP.
EasyBCD: There are a total of 2 entries listed in the Vista Bootloader. Bootloader Timeout: 5 seconds. Default OS: Windows 77 Entry #1 Name: Windows 77 BCD ID: {default} Drive: F:\ Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe Windows Directory: \Windows Entry #2 Name: Microsoft Windows XP BCD ID: {ecadfcf8-0c24-11de-bd80-00221561b6f3} Drive: C:\ Bootloader Path: \NTLDR

windows vista
windows 7 like Vista uses a new boot manager, when you installed W7 onto a seperate drive all the info for it to boot is on the seperate drive...
if you were to install it onto the same drive as WXP but a different partition on that drive then all the info for booting W7 would go onto
the same partition as WXP is on, running EASYBCD on W7 would allow you to set it up so either OS could be selected at boot time...running EASYBCD on WXP with W7 installed on a different drive does nothing to the
W7 bootmgr...therefore your issue....
you can boot your W7 by selecting to boot from that disk in your bios...
then select the WXP disk in the bios when you want to boot WXP....
and/OR you could create another primary partition on the WXP disk, install
W7 onto it, then use EASYBCD on W7 and set it up and you will get
the dual boot screen from the W7 bootmgr....
I am basically just explaining what many others have already stated in many topics in here....do a search on dual-boot and you'll see how it
works....on a seperate drive W7 creates a 200mb partition on it's disk for it's bootmgr info, on a partition of a drive with an existing OS on partition 1(ie WXP) it will place the bootmgr info on the partition 1 of the drive...
Hope this helps...

Windows 7 RC 7100 32bit/64bit
Hello Win.
First off, there is no actual drive "C:". Each windows installation "sees" the drives with the letters it has assigned to them. That's why you see different letters when booting different installations.
Since you have Win7 and XP on your system, you can't boot Win7 using Windows XP's boot loader. You need to have Windows 7 boot loader booting your system.
If you cannot see anymore the Windows 7 boot loader, boot your computer with the installation disc and do a "Repair Computer" which will fix your startup entries. (dont' change hard disk boot oder at the bios , leave it as it is)
Then , boot into Windows 7, and unhide your XP partition.
(Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management, right click on the drive without a letter and choose "Change Drive letters and paths" and "add a drive letter.
After you have it unhidden, you can use EasyBCD to add or edit your boot entries from withing Windows 7. You can add Winxp or edit it if it doesn't work well for you.
But the most important is to recover Win7 boot loader first.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for your replies.
I have done lot of reserach on this....you were the first to tell me EasyBCD works from win7 only...phew! And just yesterday i reinstalled for the 2nd time only to see the same problem occur!
I did do the repair with installation disc but it reported that no problems were found.
As for the other solution, how do you create a primary partition on the XP partition? Can that be done during win7 setup? XP installation is of concern to me...

They gave excellent advice. To sum it up easily:
Use your bios to make your drive F:\ that is from XP (where you installed 7) the default booting hard drive.
It should now boot into 7. If you can't see your XP drive in 7, follow what Limneos says. Then use either EasyBCD or VistaBootPro 3.3 to add your XP to the Win7 boot manager.
Done. Everytime you start or reboot your PC, you should be presented with an option to choose Win7 or XP.
Hope it helps. If any further problems, or need help with the app(s), post back.

W7 Ultimate x64/W10 Pro x64 dual boot main build-remote pc W10 Pro x64 Insider Preview/W7 Pro x64
VistaBOOTPro was a ripoff of the EasyBCD tool by someone who had worked on it along with the chief programmer. When Vista was first out I came across that little bit of info having first seen VistaBOOTPro and then EasyBCD. EasyBCD turned out to be far better only to learn about that one.
The idea of seeing EasyBCD installed on XP is not to edit anything but can be used to restore the Vista or 7 mbr if either can't be booted into. It's a graphical replacement for the BCD editor already seen in both Vista and 7 already.
For seeing 7 complete the installation some information is needed on the XP drive as far as that being another sata or ide? If an ide drive and plugged in while 7 was going on the 7 mbr and boot files would have been placed at the XP root with 7 seeing that as the boot sector and unavailable until going into the Disk Management tool to see the XP primary mounted and assigned a logical drive letter like D while 7 would see itself as C.
If both drives are sata the likelihood is that the 7 can't finish until booting from the second drive where the setup files as well as mbr entries are seen. You would set that as the default boot drive later copying the XP boot files over and editing 7's BCD file there once the installation completed itself.

Well hello kash Welcome to the Se7enforums!
That's an easy one if you installed 7 from a dvd. You simply boot from but do not start the installer. Right below the Install Now emblem look for the repair tools link. That will detect the present installation and bring you to a menu of options where you simply select the startup repair tool.
What was seen there was simply the XP installer overwriting the 7 mbr entries. The repair tool will rewrite those over again. Once that is done and 7 is loading XP won't. This is why you will want to read through the guide on setting up an XP/7 dual boot with XP installed last. Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP

Managing Editor
Donald Trump's nominee to become administrator of NASA proposed a fundamental overhaul of how the space agency would be run last year.
Rep. Jim Bridenstine's (R-OK) American Space Renaissance Act (ASRA) proposes the establishment of a 21-member board to oversee the space agency, giving the NASA administrator a five-year term, and the creation of 10- and 20-year strategic plans.
The overarching goal of these proposals is to insulate the space agency from changes in direction each time a new presidential administration takes over.
ASRA was a catch-all bill that contained proposals for broad changes to the nation's civil, military and commercial space efforts. Bridenstine did not intend the ASRA to be passed as a single bill but as a series of individual measures. Congress has not taken up any of the NASA management reforms included in bill.

On Friday, Lucy and Andy Burnham visited Talbot House in Newton Heath, a centre which supports families of people with learning disabilities. Lucy and Andy met with Bernie Wood the centre manager along with her team of staff and volunteers and also had chance to meet parents and their families using the centre on a busy open day.
Lucy said:
"It was great to meet Bernie and hear about her own experiences and how she and others have used their own experiences to support others. I met many people using the centre on the day and it was great to see all of the activities and support available. I am really glad that they invited me and Andy to come along. In a very difficult economic climate, the centre offers a vital service to people who need it and Andy and I look forward to working with everyone at Talbot House in the future."

Developing session plans can be the most daunting part of being a volunteer coach. Mass Youth Soccer provides session plans each season that can be used precisely or as guidelines for a practice. Session Plans are organized by Player Age Groups and by Training Themes. Each Practice Plan is designed specifically to be age appropriate. Age groups are designated in even years (i.e. U6, U8, U10, etc.) but the sessions are also appropriate for the odd year preceding the age group listed (e.g. U6 practice plans are appropriate for U5 players). If you believe that your players need more or less challenge, feel free to try Practice Plans in an older or younger age group. They are available at the following link along with an archive of session plans from previous years. You may want to search for a particular topic or you may want to download a season of plans and follow it through the season.

US Soccer
LYSC recommends that every coach take the two-hour on-line US Soccer National F Course: The "F" license is a 2-hour course, conducted entirely online, intended for all parents and coaches of youth players. The focus of this grassroots course is to share U.S. Soccer's best practices in creating a fun, activity-centered and age-appropriate environment for 5-8 year old players. If you are a first-year coach, coaching a higher age group, this is still the place to start as it includes information that will be used at all age levels.
You must first create an account with the US Soccer Digital Coaching Center (DCC) and then the available courses are accessible to you.
For coaches who would like to continue coaching through travel and Grade 5/6, and beyond the US Soccer E Course would be the next step. The National E course is an 18-hour course, typically held over one weekend, which covers the elementary principles of coaching and prepares interested coaches for the National D course. The course consists of a series of lectures and field sessions, and attendance is mandatory for the full duration of all course meetings.

About Marian:
Marian L. Thomas is a native of Chicago with a passion for the words that reflect the issues that face women today. However, the concept of putting her thoughts into written form wasn't realized until her second year in high school when she wrestled with the thought of writing a book she then called What Color is Jazzmyne. In fact, twenty years would pass before she finally debuted a more refined version of her original concept, calling it Color Me Jazzmyne. It was just a few years prior to this that she completed her Bachelor's Degree in Business Communication, graduating Magna Cum Laude.
Marian now resides in Atlanta, GA with her husband and their spoiled but playful dog. She enjoys writing short stories that have full impact and is currently working on her second novel.

When it comes to redoing your flooring, should you go with hardwood or laminate flooring? Which you choose will all depend on how much you can afford and if you are selling your home or keeping it. Laminate floors use to not only be cheap (cost) but look and feel cheap as well. Hardwood flooring is more expensive but it is worth every penny you put into it if you can afford it that is. Hardwood flooring never goes out of style and always stands the test of time. With that being said, laminate flooring is actually better made now than it used to be. Laminate flooring used to be loose fitting with ripples never quite fitting right but not anymore. In fact, they now make laminate flooring that gives the illusion of being hardwood flooring along with a ton of other styles to choose from. Don't make your decision just yet. There are a few additional factors that you need to consider before making your final decision. The differences between the two types of flooring include: laminate is easy to install versus hardwood flooring which is difficult for the average person to install, laminate is cheaper in cost than hardwood flooring, hardwood flooring always increases the value of your home, hardwood floors still stand the test of time while laminate flooring only lasts about ten years and hardwood can be resurfaced multiple times while laminate flooring cannot.

Top 10 Log Cabin Kits #3 2000 Sqft Only $48,900 Must See these Floor Plans
Check out Octagon Homes list of Top 10 Log Cabin Kits, number three is a 2000 square foot home for only $48,900, and you really must see these floor plans. Theres bathrooms on both floors, a large, open concept kitchen and living space, and plenty of room for all your kin folk. The cabin in the picture includes chink log siding and thermal break walls, and angle windows are optional.
Consider the possibilities of owning this beautiful kit. You just need a small plot of land in the woods or near the lake and youve got yourself a gorgeous getaway for cottage season, or hunting season, or every season. This cabin is actually large enough to be a year round home, and at this price, you just cant lose. If youre a hands-on, do-it-yourselfer, and youre in the market for a first home, why not order this kit and build your dream home at your dream location? Its only twenty-one dollars per square foot when you erect the home yourself. Not very handy when it comes to construction? Dont worry about it. Connor Construction has you covered, and the price of installation is included in the shell price of this home. Delivery and assembly is available everywhere east of Mississippi, and in some areas west of Mississippi. The site requirements are simple: make sure your driveways and parking areas are at the main level, gravelled and a minimum of ten feet wide. Your culverts are thirty feet long, and youll need to rent a boom truck with a crane (seventeen ton capacity). For the crane to operate properly, there needs to be a twenty by twenty-eight foot level area not more than twenty feet from the foundation, and clear of trees and power lines. Apart from a few other minor details, Connor Construction will take care of the rest.
Imagine yourself retiring in this gorgeous cabin. Imagine yourself kicking back in the spacious interior and enjoying a quiet evening with your loved ones. Now imagine yourself bringing your new family here for a taste of the outdoors. Finally, imagine a new life away from the hustle and bustle of the cityyoure surrounded by the sounds and smells of the forest, and youre one with the world and all of creation.

3 RepliesJump to last post
Hi All,
I am a Managing Principal of a young, exciting, and rapidly growing independent wealth management firm. We use Charles Schwab and Fidelity Investments as custodians, and have implemented cutting edge technology to prepare for our growth phase. We are looking to add several new advisors in Q4 of 2013, and rapidly expand during 2014. We are looking to expand using several different channels including: recruiting of FAs with 2-3 years' experience, bring on board breakaway established warehouse teams or branches, and practice buy outs. If you are interested please contact me privately through PM.
Take care,
as i read your post i thought of that scene in silence of the lambs when the senators daughter gets assaulted in buffalo bills kidnapper van. are you buffalo bill? mr managing principal of a young exciting and rapidly growing firm?
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) receives many questions about investment advisers—what they are and how to go about choosing one. This document answers some of the typical questions we receive from investors about investment advisers. This Q&A is for the benefit of investors. You should not rely on it to determine if you need to register as an investment adviser. as financial educators, we often get asked if we provide financial advice directly for individuals and unfortunately, we have to turn them down. First, we don't provide any financial advice at all in the sense that we don't make investment recommendations or manage money.

10 Photoshop Lomo Actions To Funky-Cool Your Photos
A while back, I directed your attention 27 Photoshop Actions To Pretty-Up Your Photos. Today, I've put together a pack of Lomo Actions to add a new dimension to your photographs. What is Lomo? "Lomo" is short for "Lomography," which refers to a type of analog photography that uses cameras each of which are designed to produce just one kind of lens effect, e.g. a fish-eye effect, or whatever. The name is inspired by the former state-run Russian optics manufacturer, LOMO PLC. Lomo photographs are distinguished by their distorted, kinda funky look: they use vibrant and slightly shifted colors, sometimes the edges are "vignetted" (darkened around the edges), and there is a higher contrast than in regular photography. If you have seen the movie The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, that movie uses a lot of Lomo photographic effects, particularly the fish-eye camera view and vignetting. These Photoshop Actions allow you to get a Lomo effect on a picture that you took on a regular camera.
To get an idea of the Lomo effect, I'll apply some of these Lomo Actions to the same picture to try it out. Here's an unmodified picture of Mini at preschool:
If we apply the Hazy Memory Effect from the ABDPBT Lomo Action Set, we get this:
For even more drama, you can use the Vague Recollection Action, which will darken the edges more dramatically:
The difference between these variations of Lomo is subtle, but by using a different color mode and playing around with the opacity of layers, the second one (Vague Recollection) has a slightly more vintage feel to it.
You can preview all of the different Lomo effects in this Action Pack side-by-side here:
To review, a Photoshop Action is just a pre-recorded task (like a macro in a word processing program) that you can load onto your copy of Photoshop and use again and again. You can tell a file is a Photoshop Action by the .atn file extension, and all you have to do to install it is to drag the file into the Presets folder of Photoshop (Applications –>Adobe Photoshop–>Presets–>Actions on a Mac). To get these Lomo Actions, just read the descriptions below and click on the link to download the set to your computer.
Download ABDPBT Lomo Action Set
- Hazy Memory. The Hazy Memory Lomo Action is the first one pictured above. It darkens the edges of the photograph slightly, but the overall effect is just to make the picture look slightly darker and more mysterious. Use it when you want to convey mystery or psychological depth/turmoil. Like on a picture of your creepy step-uncle. If you have one.
- Happy Childhood. This Lomo action has darker edges than the Hazy Memory Lomo Action, and the middle is brighter. It takes a happy picture and makes it seem like it's a little bit older, like you're remembering something fondly. I'd use it on pictures of kids having, well, a happy childhood.
- Vague Recollection Lomo. The Vague Recollection Lomo has very slightly darkened edges and a brighter middle than the Hazy Memory Lomo. It conveys the same mystery as the Hazy Memory, but without the dark and creepy effect.
- 1969 Lomo. The 1969 Lomo is very similar to the Happy Childhood Lomo, but it adds a yellow tint to the picture that gives it a vintage effect. It reminds me of the opening sequence to The Wonder Years because it has that specific late-sixties feel to it. You can use it for anything you want to take back in time, but it's particularly useful when you want to do some kind of retro layout.
- Rose-Colored Glasses. Where the 1969 Lomo adds yellow, Rose-Colored Glasses adds red. The effect is a subtle overall red tint to the photograph; when viewed side-to-side with other Lomo photos, this is very obvious, but when done on its own it is much more subtle. Use this when you want to match a color scheme that has red (or is contrasting with red), or if you want to make things look just rosy.
- Zhivago Lomo. This Lomo uses blue where the previous two used yellow and red respectively. Unlike the other two photos, the coloring effect is difficult to identify without looking at the steps contained within the Action, but the overall effect is kind of icy and wintery.
- The Artist Formerly Known As Lomo. This Action casts a purple haze over your photograph. This is useful if you are really into purple, or if you want to match a purple layout, or if you are Prince.
- Green With Envy. This Action casts a greenish-tint to your photograph, which helps you to match a green color scheme (or use it to contrast), or to convey a very subtle suggestion of envy in your photograph's subject. Maybe for your snotty older sister who is always raining on your parade? I don't have a sister — do they do that? Not sure.
- Polyvore. Polyvore is a color and contrast action without vignetting. It doesn't have darkened borders, but it changes the color scheme of the photo to look like it's from an earlier period.
- Technicolor. This is my favorite Action in the pack because it gives you the vignetting on the side with an extra bright center. It is a dramatic, overdone, Hollywood, Back-to-the-Beach way of doing a memory, and I love it.

Need a partner for an English teaching business (Kiev)
Hi, Everyone!
I am currently working on an english teaching program for teaching in a classroom environment ( Protected content ). The program i am working on is not just some program. From a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis point of view i anticipate it to be quite the success.
It's very difficult to describe this program in a few paragraphs without making it sound too nerdy, so if you're interested, please call me Protected content home number: Protected content i will gladly explain it in full detail. Here I'll just mention one interesting aspect of it. It uses media examples (taken from TV shows, movies, comedy sketches, songs, etc.) - video clips that are a couple of seconds long - to illustrate EVERY grammatical situation.
I am no 'newbie' in this type of work. I've already written a 96-page book designed to allow someone to learn English in the fastest and most efficient way possible. BUT... At this point I am completely burned out and have realized that i am absolutely terrible in regard to working alone.
I need someone that is as excited and positive about this project as i am, and whom i can work together with for a week (2 maximum) to flesh out the program. There are no questions of HOW - i know exactly how to do all of it. It's just a motivational thing for me at this point - that's why a need a partner.
I would offer my partner 50% of this specific business! We cut out the middle man (i.e. the various english teaching companies) and only have to pay for renting a classroom. I provide the super-effective method, together we complete the remaining "grunt work", you then can teach your own class and everything you make is yours (minus small expenses like classroom rent, refreshments for the students, etc) - although i would still definitely want to work as a team.
Who I'm looking for:
- Someone very positive and with high integrity. I can't emphasize this point enough. I am not looking for motivation purely through feeling responsible for somebody else, but through feeling excited to work with someone because they are very positive about the whole thing.
- A native speaker (or at least very, very good english if you're not a native speaker)
- It's definitely a plus (but not neccessary with this particular project) if you're proficient with IT, programming, etc (because I'm not). My long term goal with this is to create a language app.
If you're interested, you probably have a million questions. I'm definitely not covering all of them here, because i tried to keep it short, so please call me and i'll gladly answer any question.

With his veteran-laden win now team having played itself out of the playoff picture before ovens were preheated to 350 degrees to cook the Thanksgiving turkeys, Rex Ryan has frantically pushed a lot of buttons in the last two weeks in an effort to stop his rookie season from spiraling into something truly embarrassing.
His Jets are 4-6 entering Sunday's home game against 4-6 Carolina, but it's worse than it looks.
They have lost six of their last seven games to curb the enthusiasm of their promising 3-0 start and their quarterback, Mark Sanchez, has, at times, looked more like a freshman in high school than an NFL rookie experiencing a new level of the game for the first time.
So herein lies Ryan's latest desperate move to try to save the season: He's tied himself to the hip of Sanchez and has put in a code "system" of sorts to stop him from making poor decisions in games that lead to game-changing turnovers.
Sanchez has turned the ball over 19 times this season — 16 interceptions and three lost fumbles. That's more turnovers than 20 NFL teams have this season.
Since the 3-0 start when he threw four touchdowns and two interceptions, Sanchez has thrown 14 interceptions and only six touchdowns as the Jets have gone 1-6. You do the math.
In Sanchez's three worst performances of the season — losses to New Orleans, Buffalo and New England — he's thrown only one TD and 12 interceptions. Those are obviously the three games Sanchez has outright lost for the Jets.
Ryan, defending his decision not to bench Sanchez, said Sanchez "has played well enough to win seven games" this season.
Whether that's completely true cannot be measured, but the Jets have indeed lost one game because of the worst special teams performance of Mike Westhoff's career and a couple more because of defensive breakdowns.
So Sanchez is here to stay this season, and Ryan is determined to make something out of 2009 yet.
Like Sanchez has talked about "pressing" at times to make plays, Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme related with his early-season interception troubles that led to his 14 entering Sunday.
"When you [press], those [turnovers] tend to come and they came in bunches to the point where you've just got to say, 'To heck with it' and just play," Delhomme said. "Don't be petrified about making a mistake. You've just got to work through it."
Delhomme said he has a hard time relating to Sanchez, because he didn't start right away in the NFL.
"I can't say that I know exactly what he's going through because as a rookie [and], at best, I was holding a clip board," he said. "When you come to the NFL, it's very different. The speed of the guys here is great."
The Jets, of course, were banking on a speedy transition to the NFL for Sanchez, who started only 16 games in college. Perhaps they bit off more than they could chew this first season by starting Sanchez right away. Perhaps, though, starting him immediately will accelerate his progress.
"It's very difficult because you want to see some productivity and if you don't get anything done and you're turning the ball over, it just kind of eats away at you," Delhomme said.
Sanchez knows the feeling well, but he's been fortunate to have a lot of support. While the veterans are frustrated, the under-the-breath whispers of disapproval in the locker room have been virtually nonexistent.
A lot of that stems from the fact that Sanchez has been diligent with his work, humble around his teammates and stand-up accountable for his mistakes.
"You can't just give games away like (I have)," Sanchez said. "Three games are just glaring. If you want to pick someone who lost the game (in this instance), it's pretty easy to pick it out. It can't happen. We have to give ourselves a chance and not give the ball to the other team. It hurts us."
One thing that buoys Sanchez is the support he's gotten from his teammates and coaches.
"The team has definitely kept their confidence in me and that means the world to me," Sanchez said. "It's pretty special to know that they're in this with you. They just talk about keep fighting, keep playing, keep your head up, don't ever doubt yourself. That's great. I couldn't ask for anything better."
Except, of course, for better results.

When you live more than 10 hours away from your family, there is nothing more
1. Pack Light
Duh. End of guest post. (Just kidding, I'm not that lame.)
2. Know Your Itinerary
In order to pack appropriately, you have to know what you are packing for. Unless you would wear the same thing going out on the town with your girlfriends as you would visiting your grandma on Christmas morning, you probably need to know what's on your travel schedule.
3. Mooch Off Your Hosts
When I go home to visit my family, I never pack a blow dryer, curling iron or hairspray. Not only do these items take up way too much space, but I know that someone in my house is going to be willing to share with me. (I always bring my own hair straightener, though, because my Mom's sucks.) If they don't want to share with you, just start telling them a little tale of a Who named "The Grinch."
4. Roll With It
Terrible puns aside, it's amazing how much suitcase space is saved when you roll your clothes instead of folding them. I know it doesn't seem like it would make a difference, but trust me, it does.
5. Travel Bulky
Coats, knee-high boots and thick sweaters are crucial for a Midwest winter, but try fitting those inside a carry-on suitcase. Unless your carry-on was made by Mary Poppins, it's not going to happen. The best way to bring what you need and save room in your bag is to wear your bulkiest items on the plane. Bonus: If you get too warm in all of your layers, you can use them as a blanket or pillow and try and get some shut-eye before shacking up in your family's "Home Alone"-esque casa.
6. Mix & Match
Okay, this is a two-parter. Since I know not everyone is as amazing at mixing and matching their clothes to make new outfits as I am, I broke it down for you.
Here are my most versatile layering pieces:
1. Crewneck Pullover Sweater
2. Denim Button-Up
3. White V-Neck
4. Boyfriend Cardigan
5. Dark Jeans
6. Shift Dress (in a neutral color, preferably grey or black)
Here's how you can remix them:
Outfit 1: Cardigan + V-Neck + Jeans + Knee-High Boots
Outfit 2: Cardigan + Denim Shirt + Jeans + Black Ankle Boots
Outfit 3: Pullover Sweater + Jeans + Black Ankle Boots
Outfit 4: Denim Shirt (unbuttoned) + V-Neck + Jeans + Knee-High Boots
Outfit 5: Pullover Sweater + Denim Shirt (underneath sweater) + Jeans + Black Ankle Boots
Outfit 6: Shift Dress + Cardigan + Knee-High Boots
Outfit 7: Shift Dress + Pullover Sweater + Black Ankle Boots
Outfit 8: Shift Dress + Denim Shirt (underneath dress) + Knee-High Boots
And don't forget: Colored tights, cozy knee-high socks and jewelry can add even more versatility to your travel wardrobe and take up very little space in your suitcase.
Oh, and you have to fight the urge to pack your cat. There's just not enough room for that adorable ball of fur.
Thank you so much, Steph, for having me! Hope this post helps all of your holiday-traveling Loudmouth readers :)

For a long time, one of Robert Altman's best movies, Short Cuts, seemed to have been lost in the valley between Altman's big popular successes, The Player and Gosford Park -- good films both, particularly the latter, but Short Cuts is one of the greatest achievements in American film.
Finally, The Criterion Collection has brought Short Cuts to DVD, and it gives us a chance to look again at a movie that does exactly what an adaptation of literature from one medium to another should do: create something original and profound.
Short Cuts is based on a handful of stories and one poem by Raymond Carver. Carver's widow, Tess Gallagher, supported Robert Altman's idea of melding the original material, moving characters around, relocating the stories from their various settings to Los Angeles, and letting them all happen concurrently over the course of a few days. Altman collaborated on the script with Frank Barhydt, and together they not only cut up the stories, but created some characters and plotlines of their owns (ones that, later, Gallagher would say seemed startlingly Carveresque).
On its release, the movie was received with some very strong reviews, as well as sharp critiques, especially from Carver purists. Rita Kempley at the Washington Post called it "cynical, sexist and shallow ... long, sour and ultimately pointless". (Metacritic has a handy roundup of reactions.) Cynical? Yes. Sexist? There are sexist characters, and if you think that women without clothes are always objects for lust, then, yes, perhaps, because there's a lot of nudity. Shallow? No (this is a case where the reviewer is not up to the standard of the film she's writing about). Long? Yes. Sour ... sometimes, but that's a tonal judgment, even more subjective than other judgments. Ultimately pointless? Again, this time that's the reviewer's failing, not the film's.
I'll leave it to Roger Ebert, Peter Travers, and Michael Wilmington to sing the general praises of Short Cuts, because I want to look specifically at the charges of realism leveled at it and, to a certain extent, at Carver. About the film overall, I'll just say that I've seen it about six times now -- once in the theatre, multiple times on videotape, and now on DVD -- and each time I find some new particle within the dense fabric of the whole to be thought-provoking, disturbing, or emotionally affecting. It's not a film to see if you want to be able to get everything there is to get on a first viewing; it's not a film to see if you want your art to tell you what to feel and when.
What I noticed while watching Short Cuts this time was how marvelously contrived it is. "Contrived" can be a dangerous word to apply to a story, because, though all stories are contrived in some way or another, people like their stories to feel like a window on a possible world, even though, if we pause to stop for a moment and think about it, we know we're being sold a bag of air. When a narrative feels contrived, we feel the manipulations that are an inherent element of all art -- the creator-selector saying, "Look here, know this, think this, hear this." Clumsily created stories, stories that aspire to realism and fail, can be frustrating, but stories that, whether they aspire to realism or not, fully embrace their contrivances can often be great fun, and sometimes profound.
Altman is a brilliant, canny director and writer. He chose a writer known for his "realism", a writer who was a master of contriving stories in just such a way as to make them feel like shards of actual life (a combination, in Carver's case, of structure and diction as much as choice of detail), and then he upped the contrivance level to a point where it becomes impossible not to notice the contrivance. Imagine the film as a duet: all the techniques of realism (long scenes, overlapping dialogue, etc.) in harmony, and occasionally discord, with an entirely unrealistic narrative. On their own, Carver's stories get away with seeming realistic because their contrivances are limited; scrambled together, they are nothing but contrivance.
And yet, more often than not, it feels like life as it is lived. Endless coincidences. Inexplicable actions. Connections beneath connections. The movie is as carefully plotted as a heist thriller, but it feels shaggy and rambling, particularly on the first or second viewing. The key is the scope -- over twenty main characters, 183 minutes of film. All the virtues of an epic applied to ordinary subject matter, the effect being a deepening of both the technique and the subject matter. It's as if somebody sent Virginia Woolf to film school.
People often compare Magnolia to Short Cuts, and the comparison is apt (I would be stunned if Paul Thomas Anderson had not seen Altman's film, and Julianne Moore stars in both), but a comparison I haven't seen made is to An Unfinished Piece for Player Piano, a deeply sensitive and affecting adaptation of works by Anton Chekhov. Nikita Mikhalkov's technique with Chekhov is similar to Altman's with Carver: Mikhalkov took Chekhov's first play, Platonov, a sprawling disaster, and edited it, adding in pieces from and allusions to Chekhov's other works, creating what is easily the most Chekhovian movie I've ever seen (and I have suffered through more than I would like to admit, being a bit obsessive about dear Antosha). Carver, of course, said Chekhov was one of his personal gods, though I remember reading somewhere that he said he didn't like the plays. Short Cuts, amusingly enough, feels like a Chekhov play, because though he's always referred to as a "realist", Chekhov was just as much interested in contrivance and coincidence as any farceur, his literary roots being with comic short stories and comic short plays. It's as if Altman made from Carver's raw material the script Carver never could have written on his own, just as Mikhalkov created an immensely satisfying movie from Chekhov's failed play.
Altman's movie, though, is certainly not a movie Carver would have written, because their sensibilities are different, with Carver tending more toward sentimentality and Altman tending at times toward frigidity, though I think what seems to be his "cold" style of filmmaking actually comes from a profound respect for the audience. Unlike, for instance, Steven Spielberg, who does his damnedest to make sure you know exactly what to feel when, Altman is content to let your emotions be confused. Where Spielberg's aesthetic is totalitarian, Altman's is a sort of anarcho-communism. Carver achieved something similar occasionally, though he was also frequently quite mannered in his writing, so if you read a whole book of Carver stories in a short period of time, the emotional and aesthetic effect is far less than if you read a story here or there, with some time between them. (If Spielberg is totalitarian and Altman is anarcho-communist, then Carver is American democracy: you've got choices, but there are only a couple, neither radically different.)
What makes Short Cuts so remarkable is that Carver's characters and stories become so interesting when approached with Altman's colder, somewhat more cynical eye. There is still room for redemption and compassion, and the film even offers glimpses of it, but we the viewers are left to apply such concepts ourselves to the quiet spaces in between the stories, to the moments after the arguments. By creating a highly artificial universe, Altman provides us a vehicle with which to think more deeply about the actual universes of our lives.
(And while I'm here, let me pray to the gods at Criterion to get to one of Altman's other neglected masterpieces, Vincent and Theo, soon.)

Rochester, NY – The stage of Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre was filled with emotion this morning, but this time, it wasn't from the music. At a 10:30 am press conference, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra Music Director Christopher Seaman, joined by his colleagues, RPO President & CEO Charles Owens; Board Chair Suzanne Welch; and RPO Principal Trombone Mark Kellogg; announced that he will be concluding his tenure as RPO music director at the close of the 2010-11 Season.
Seaman spoke about feeling that he is at "the crest of a wave" and at "the pinnacle of my dreams for the Orchestra" – both artistically and with regard to the renovated Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre. He also pointed out that at the conclusion of his contract in 2011, he will have served for 13 years – the longest-tenured music director in RPO history. After two more full years, it will be the "best possible moment to hand over the baton."
Board Chair Suzanne Welch immediately followed Mr. Seaman to announce that beginning in the 2011-2012 Season, Christopher will be named Conductor Laureate for life. Making some personal and reflective remarks, she also referenced the love that the Rochester community has for Christopher, the popularity of his pre-concert chats and his Symphony 101 Series. RPO Principal Trombone Mark Kellogg (The Austin E. Hildebrandt Chair), a member of the RPO since 1989, represented the musicians as he spoke about his personal and musical recollections of Christopher. "Christopher has done so much to raise the artistic level of the orchestra not only with his musical excellence, but with his exceptional sense of grace and humanity."
Charles Owens, RPO President & CEO, took the podium to read a quote from Eastman School of Music Dean Douglas Lowry, who was traveling and could not attend the press conference. "Christopher Seaman has led the Rochester Philharmonic through a period of unprecedented artistic growth. His musical leadership has been exemplary. He has been a superb collaborator in the transformation of Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre. And, from the perspective of a composer who has had the good fortune of having a work both commissioned and premiered by him, it has been a remarkable musical experience."
Owens described how the RPO's partnership with Christopher will be entering a new phase. "Starting today," he said, "the RPO is launching a three-year period of celebration we're calling 'A Celebration Beyond Measure.'" Owens went on to detail the plans for the next two seasons and beyond. In addition to the lifetime Conductor Laureate position, these include:
- a release in 2010-2011 of a five-CD boxed set "RPO: The Christopher Seaman Years," taken from 12 years of live broadcast recordings
- Christopher's Celebratory Final Philharmonics Series Weekend in June, 2011
- A 70th Birthday Concert and Gala on March 7, 2012
- An invitation to conduct one week of Philharmonics subscription concerts in 2011-2012 and annually beyond 2012, referred to by Owens as what will be "among the most highly anticipated musical events here in Rochester."
Mayor Robert J. Duffy and Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks each issued a statement when they were given this news. "Christopher Seaman is a superb conductor and a man who exudes class and elegance," said Mayor Duffy. "His gifted leadership and the talents of the Orchestra's musicians have brought the Rochester Philharmonic to a new level of world-class prominence, creating one this community's most significant assets and cultural amenities. I look forward to two years of great celebration of Christopher and many more as he becomes the Orchestra's Conductor Laureate in 2012." Maggie Brooks also thanked Christopher for "his many years of service and commitment to the arts, which enjoys tremendous support from our entire community. His contributions to the RPO will be long-remembered." Brooks also thanked Christopher for his "well-deserved" appointment as Conductor Laureate.
Prior to the press conference remarks, a duo from the RPO featuring Principal Clarinet Kenneth Grant (The Robert J. Strasenburgh Chair) and RPO Principal Keyboard Joseph Werner (The Lois P. Lines Chair) provided a musical prologue.

If you're the kind of guy who can afford a Porsche GT3, you've probably got few worries in this world. Money is arguably no object and, with your vast ocean of wealth, you've procured one of the fastest production cars ever to lap the Nurburgring. Life is good. Or is it?
The man who has everything now has at least one thing to worry about: the NISMO GT-R.
This hyped-up version of Nissan's flagship supercar will reportedly lap the 'Ring in 7:08, which will make it the fastest car to ever run around the famed circuit and the fastest Nissan ever.
Although Nissan is still being very cagey with the details, the NISMO GT-R will – just like the rest of the new NISMO line – see improved power, handling, and styling. While we can pinpoint plenty of room for visual improvements, the idea of a harder riding GT-R makes our backs hurt just thinking about it.
We know NISMO shouldn't have trouble pushing more power to the pavement, as we have seen aftermarket tuners make as much as 1,300 horsepower from the stock 545 horsepower 3.8-liter V6. How much more might the NISMO GT-R make? Top Gear reports it could be more than 570.
We were a bit skeptical of the newly announced NISMO products after we saw the NISMO Juke and the NISMO 370Z. This NISMO GT-R, however, sounds quite promising indeed.
Interested parties will have to sit on their hands for a while, though, as the 'Ring-taming Godzilla isn't due for release until the second half of 2014. Be sure to check back for more details.

Vodafone has launched a software update to its Mobile Connect software for Mac users around the globe, meaning Snow Leopard users can now get online with the 3G Mobile Broadband dongles once again.
Although Snow Leopard officially launched in September, Vodafone had been slow to update it's software meaning those who did upgrade where unable to get online.
At the time, Vodafone blamed 64-bit support, with many users trying to come up with ways of getting around the fault.
The news, which is likely to be welcomed by the army of mobile workers who use Vodafone's 3G dongle offering, means that Snow Leopard users can now get online as well as access a host of new features like send SMS messages from their dongle.
The software has also had a compete overhaul in terms of appearance and will now also let users see how much data they are using and manage their LAN connections as well via the interface, something that while available in the past, wasn't the easiest to find.
You can download the new update from Vodafone global.

On September 1, 2015, the bill amending the Danish Nationality Act came into force.
With the new rules, Danish citizens living in Canada can now acquire Canadian citizenship without losing their Danish citizenship.
You do not need to notify the Danish authorities if you acquire Canadian citizenship.
The right to receive Danish pension is not based on nationality. Hence, acquiring Canadian citizenship will not affect your entitlement in this regard. For more information on how to apply for Danish pension from Canada, please click here.
For information on how to obtain Canadian citizenship, please visit the website of Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Please note that neither the Embassy of Denmark in Ottawa nor the Danish consulates in Canada are able to assist regarding Canadian citizenship rules.
Danish citizens who lost their Danish nationality by acquiring Canadian citizenship can now reacquire their Danish nationality, provided they fulfil certain requirements. As Canada allows for full access to dual and multiple nationalities, you will not lose your Canadian citizenship by reacquiring your Danish nationality.
Former Danish nationals can apply for reacquisition of Danish nationality by sending a declaration and relevant documentation to the Danish State Administration (Statsforvaltningen). This procedure is available for a five-year period between September 1, 2015 and August 31, 2020.
The State Administration has informed that two basic conditions must be fulfilled to reacquire your Danish citizenship under the new rules:
NOTE: If you were born outside of Denmark you lose your Danish citizenship at the age of 22 unless you apply to retain it. If you lost your Danish nationality due to this rule, you cannot reacquire Danish citizenship by declaration. Instead, you need to apply for proof of nationality. You can find more information about that here.
Your child(ren) can acquire Danish nationality as part of your declaration while they are under 18 and remain unmarried. In order to use this opportunity, you must have legal custody over your child(ren) and the other parent must give his/her consent if he/she also has custody.
For adopted children it is an additional requirement that the adoption is legal under Danish law.
For more information about children, please consult page 2 of the link to the website of the State Administration here (in Danish only).
Step 1: Complete Application Form
Download and complete the application form.
Step 2: Collect Documents
Please click here for the application document checklist.
The State Administration's standard processing time upon receipt of your declaration at the State Administration is approximately 11 weeks, provided no additional documentation is needed.
For a quick and efficient processing, you must collect all the required documents in the checklist before you submit your application. Failure to submit all the required documents may result in delays or rejection of your declaration.
Please note: If you acquired Canadian citizenship prior to February 2012, your certificate is considered commemorative and therefore does not serve as proof of citizenship on its own. You must also present a copy of your citizenship card. More information available here.
Please note that it is your responsibility to consult the checklist in the declaration form before submitting your application. Neither the Embassy of Denmark in Canada nor the Danish consulates can be held responsible for any problems you may incur as a result of missing documents.
Should the State Administration find that there is missing documentation in your application, a request for further information may be forwarded to the Embassy. In such cases the hourly fee for personal assistance must be paid to the Embassy, in accordance with our fee schedule.
Step 3: Submit the Application and Pay the Processing Fee
You can send the declaration directly to the State Administration in Denmark at the following address:
Storetorv 10
DK-6200 Aabenraa
Payment of the non-refundable processing fee of DKK 1100 is a requirement for an admissible application. The payment must be made directly to the State Administration by using the online payment portal (in Danish only). You can pay by using your Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit card.
Alternatively, you can submit your declaration through the Danish Embassy or one of our consulates in Canada. Please note that if you choose to submit your declaration this way, there is an additional handling fee payable to the Danish Embassy or the consulate. The handling fee must be paid in the form of a certified cheque or money order issued to the hand-in mission, or in cash. The fee schedule can be found here.
The handling fee covers the Embassy or Consulate's involvement in the following steps:
If case processing is required, e.g. if documents are missing or the State Administration has additional questions to the client, an additional hourly fee shall be charged as stated in the fee schedule mentioned above.
Please contact the State Administration directly.
Tel.: +45 72 56 70 00. The phone hours can be found here (local time).
Email: Please use web portal by clicking "send" in the top bar found in the link here.

Mihir Wankawala founded The Wankawala Organization in 2005 with the acquisition of its first property in Carlisle, PA.
