WASHINGTON — Martin Kanefsky, the former owner and chief executive officer of a Great Neck, N.Y.-based firm that helped municipal issuers secure guaranteed investment contracts for their bond proceeds, pleaded guilty to participating in two separate fraud conspiracies as well as wire fraud, the Justice Department announced Thursday night.
Kanefsky also agreed to cooperate with the Justice Department's ongoing antitrust probe of the muni market, according to court documents filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan.
The documents do not name Kanefsky's former firm, only referring to it as Broker A, but an Internet search shows that it was Kane Capital Strategies, Inc.
Kanefsky was not available for comment Thursday night.
Kanefsky's firm was supposed to conduct competitive bidding processes for GIC providers. But the Justice Department claims he gave unidentified co-conspirator GIC providers information about the prices, price levels or conditions in competitors' bids, a practice known as a "last look," which is explicitly prohibited by U.S. Treasury regulations.
He also solicited and received intentionally losing bids for GICs and other municipal finance contracts.
As a result of this manipulation of the bidding process, the co-conspirator providers won contracts at artificially determined price levels, which deprived muni issuers of money and property, Justice said in court documents. Kanefsky also misrepresented to muni issuers or their bond counsel that the bidding process was in compliance with U.S. Treasury rules, leading the issuers to file false reports with the Internal Revenue Service that jeopardized the tax-exempt status of their bonds.
Kanefsky engaged in one fraud conspiracy from as early as October 2001 until at least November 2006, and in a second from as early as August 1999 until at least November 2006, the Justice Department said.
According to court documents, on or about April 7, 2005, an unidentified Marketer A asked Kanefsky if the rate he was prepared to bid on behalf of his firm, identified only as Provider A, a group of related financial services companies located in New York City and owned or controlled by a company headquartered in New York City, was too high. Kanesky stated that if the bid was too high, he would "shave a little." Later the same day, Kanefsky told the same marketer to submit a bid that was lower than the one he had previously stated. The marketer lowered his bid and was awarded the investment contract, for a state financing authority.
The court documents said that on or about Feb. 21, 2002, Kanefsky told a marketer for another firm, identified only as Provider B, that it could lower the rates it had bid for an investment contract with a state housing finance agency. Provider B was ultimately awarded the contract and continues to make schedule interest payments at an artificially suppressed rate, the department said.
As for the wire fraud count, the Justice Department said that on or about June 30, 2006, through a wire transfer from New York to Minnesota, Provider A made an interest payment of about $38,770.39 to a state finance authority in Minnesota that was "artificially determined and supressed" because Kanefsky got a GIC provider to bid lower than it had offered to bid.
Each of the fraud conspiracies for which Kanefsky is charged carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The wire fraud charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The maximum fines for each of these offenses may be increased to twice the gain derived from the crime or twice the loss suffered by the victims of the crime, if either of those amounts is greater than the statutory maximum fine.
Kanefsky's guilty plea is the fifth to arise from the ongoing investigation into the municipal bonds industry, which is being conducted by the Justice Department's antitrust division's New York field office, the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigation. The department is coordinating its investigation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Three former employees of Rubin/Chambers, Dunhill Insurance Services Inc., also known as CDR Financial Products (CDR), a Beverly Hills, Calif.-based financial products and services firm that acted as a broker of investment agreements and other municipal finance agreements, have pleaded guilty to bid-rigging and fraud conspiracies in relation to the ongoing investigation. A former employee of another financial services company also pleaded guilty to bid-rigging and fraud charges in relation to the ongoing investigation.
As a result of the ongoing investigation, three former financial services executives were indicted on July 27, 2010, for participating in fraud schemes and conspiracies related to the bidding for investment agreements. In addition, CDR, two of its employees and one former employee were charged in October 2009 for participating in bid-rigging and fraud conspiracies and related crimes. The CDR trial is scheduled to begin on Sept. 12, 2011.
Kanefsky's guilty plea is part of efforts underway by President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, the Justice Department said.

Batley lottery winner pops the question to partner
A man who scooped more than £6m on the lottery celebrated by asking his long-term partner to marry him.
Graham Nield, from Batley, popped the question to Amanda Vickers, 48, moments after winning the £6,676,215 jackpot.
The 55-year-old said he had planned to ask her to marry him before he proposed on Sunday, but kept losing his nerve.
Mr Nield said Amanda accepted his proposal, saying: "Yes, but it isn't because you've won the money, it's because I love you."
He said: "We recently went to Tenerife and I was planning to ask Amanda to marry me," he said.
"But every morning at breakfast I got really nervous and the words just wouldn't come out of my mouth.
"When we found out on Sunday that we'd won, I blurted out 'Now will you marry me?' to which she replied 'Yes, but it isn't because you've won the money, it's because I love you'."
He won the jackpot on Saturday with the numbers 15, 25, 26, 33, 34, 41.

These shoes look even better in person! The quality of the materials seems to be really good. Definitely above average for Aldo. The color is a littler lighter in person and a little more gray than beige. Two cons: One of the shoes look like someone messed with the buckle a bit so it looks a bit stretched out... also, the way they're built does tend to make your feet look a bit large, even if the shoe is a perfect fit (I'm a size 9).

Lake Argyle
Lake Argyle is Australia's largest artificial lake by volume. It was completed in 1972 as part of the Ord Irrigation Scheme and is located in the East Kimberley, Western Australia. The primary inflow is the Ord River, while the Bow River and many smaller creeks also flow into the dam.
Lake Argyle normally has a surface area of about 1,000 square kilometres. The lake is home to around 26 species of native fish and a population of freshwater crocodiles estimated at some 25,000. The lake, with its surrounding grasslands supports about 150,000 water birds.
What Our Customers Are Saying
A girlfriend and I had the most amazing lengthy cruise over Lake Argyle on the Kimberley Cat (catamaran) from pre-lunch to sunset as part of our tour from Darwin to Broome.
It was brilliant and unforgettable!
I must have taken a hundred shots of the pristine water and the reflections on it from neighbouring land / islands… all could be entered into a photo competition, and I'm no photographer!
Our cruise included making our own wraps for lunch, we drank wine from what we carried on board, the weather was perfect (31 degrees), cloudless skies, and only about 20 on board a large, beautifully furnished, luxury catamaran.
We could sit anywhere we liked to relish the magnificent scenery – at a table, on deck, at the front, on the roof, or in the nets at the front. Superb, and given extended time to capture and soak it all in – 6 hours.
Brilliant. DO IT!Jennie Maxwell

Boeing Defense, Space & Security, a division of The Boeing Company, announced on Tuesday that the next-generation Arrow 3 interceptor completed its second successful flight test, potentially demonstrating an ability to strengthen Israel's defense strategy.
Boeing co-developed the Arrow 3 interceptor with Israel Aerospace Industries' MLM Division. Arrow 3 is the latest interceptor for the arrow weapon system that was jointly developed by Israel and the U.S. Its improvements over previous interceptors include the ability to launch earlier after threat detection and engage threats at higher altitudes outside the Earth's atmosphere.
"This successful flight test, 10 months after the first, is an important milestone in the decade-long partnership between IAI and Boeing in the Arrow program, and a demonstration of the effective solutions that come from global cooperation in the face of evolving threats," Bill Dickerhoff, the Arrow program director for Boeing, said.
The U.S. Missile Defense Agency and the Israel Ministry of Defense conducted the flight during a January 3 test of Israel's national missile defense system. The Arrow 3 interceptor launched from an Israeli test range and flew in accordance with its mission profile prior to terminating as planned over the Mediterranean Sea.
The Arrow system is the first operational, national missile defense system in the world.

Document Type
Technical Report
Publication Date
Nevada Seismological Laboratory, University of Nevada, Reno
Starting on October 1, 1995 the monitoring of seismicity within the southern Great Basin near Yucca Mountain was performed with a new digital network. This network features three-component recording with 24-bit A/D conversion in the field. Continuous data is collected at 20 sps, and event triggered windows are collected at 100 samples per second. A seismic bulletin of events is made by associating triggers occurring within a prescribed time window. classifying the local earthquake events, and locating the earthquakes and computing their magnitudes with conventional methods. This report covers the operational and seismic results of the third and fourth full years (FY98-99) of the improved, digitally based, monitoring.

Employment Quotes (24 quotes)
...the question undoubtedly is, or soon will be, not whether or no we shall employ notation in chemistry, but whether we shall use a bad and incongruous, or a consistent and regular notation.
...while science gives us implements to use, science alone does not determine for what ends they will be employed. Radio is an amazing invention. Yet now that it is here, one suspects that Hitler never could have consolidated his totalitarian control over Germany without its use. One never can tell what hands will reach out to lay hold on scientific gifts, or to what employment they will be put. Ever the old barbarian emerges, destructively using the new civilization.
A man should abandon that country wherein there is neither respect, nor employment, nor connections, nor the advancement of science.
All the scientist creates in a fact is the language in which he enunciates it. If he predicts a fact, he will employ this language, and for all those who can speak and understand it, his prediction is free from ambiguity. Moreover, this prediction once made, it evidently does not depend upon him whether it is fulfilled or not.
An old medical friend gave me some excellent practical advice. He said: You will have for some time to go much oftener down steps than up steps. Never mind! win the good opinions of washerwomen and such like, and in time you will hear of their recommendations of you to the wealthier families by whom they are employed. I did so, and found it succeed as predicted.
[On beginning a medical practice.]
[On beginning a medical practice.]
Chemical research conducts to the knowledge of philosophical truth, and forms the mind to philosophical enlargement and accuracy of thought, more happily than almost any other species of investigation in which the human intellect can be employed.
Employment is Natures physician, and is essential to human happiness.
— Galen
Employment, which Galen calls 'Nature's Physician,' is so essential to human happiness that indolence is justly considered as the mother of misery.
Essentially only one thing in life interests us: our psychical constitution, the mechanism of which was and is wrapped in darkness. All human resources, art, religion, literature, philosophy and historical sciences, all of them join in bringing lights in this darkness. But man has still another powerful resource: natural science with its strictly objective methods. This science, as we all know, is making huge progress every day. The facts and considerations which I have placed before you at the end of my lecture are one out of numerous attempts to employ a consistent, purely scientific method of thinking in the study of the mechanism of the highest manifestations of life in the dog, the representative of the animal kingdom that is man's best friend.
Every individual is continually exerting himself to find out the most advantageous employment for whatever capital he can command. It is his own advantage, indeed, and not that of society, which he has in view. But the study of his own advantage naturally, or rather necessarily, leads him to prefer that employment which is most advantageous to the society.
In the school of political projectors, I was but ill entertained, the professors appearing, in my judgment, wholly out of their senses; which is a scene that never fails to make me melancholy. These unhappy people were proposing schemes for persuading monarchs to choose favourites upon the score of their wisdom, capacity, and virtue; of teaching ministers to consult the public good; of rewarding merit, great abilities, and eminent services; of instructing princes to know their true interest, by placing it on the same foundation with that of their people; of choosing for employment persons qualified to exercise them; with many other wild impossible chimeras, that never entered before into the heart of man to conceive, and confirmed in me the old observation, that there is nothing so extravagant and irrational which some philosophers have not maintained for truth.
In this country, science is almost exclusively prosecuted by those engaged in the laborious and exhaustive employment of imparting instruction. Science among us brings comparatively little emolument and is accompanied with but little honor.
It is a happy world after all. The air, the earth, the water teem with delighted existence. In a spring noon, or a summer evening, on whichever side I turn my eyes, myriads of happy beings crowd upon my view. The insect youth are on the wing. Swarms of new-born flies are trying their pinions in the air. Their sportive motions, their wanton mazes, their gratuitous activity testify their joy and the exultation they feel in their lately discovered faculties The whole winged insect tribe, it is probable, are equally intent upon their proper employments, and under every variety of constitution, gratified, and perhaps equally gratified, by the offices which the author of their nature has assigned to them.
Natural powers, principally those of steam and falling water, are subsidized and taken into human employment Spinning-machines, power-looms, and all the mechanical devices, acting, among other operatives, in the factories and work-shops, are but so many laborers. They are usually denominated labor-saving machines, but it would be more just to call them labor-doing machines. They are made to be active agents; to have motion, and to produce effect; and though without intelligence, they are guided by laws of science, which are exact and perfect, and they produce results, therefore, in general, more accurate than the human hand is capable of producing.
New frontiers of the mind are before us, and if they are pioneered with the same vision, boldness, and drive with which we have waged this war we can create a fuller and more fruitful employment and a fuller and more fruitful life.
The chemists work with inaccurate and poor measuring services, but they employ very good materials. The physicists, on the other hand, use excellent methods and accurate instruments, but they apply these to very inferior materials. The physical chemists combine both these characteristics in that they apply imprecise methods to impure materials.
The explosive component in the contemporary scene is not the clamor of the masses but the self-righteous claims of a multitude of graduates from schools and universities. This army of scribes is clamoring for a society in which planning, regulation, and supervision are paramount and the prerogative of the educated. They hanker for the scribes golden age, for a return to something like the scribe-dominated societies of ancient Egypt, China, and Europe of the Middle Ages. There is little doubt that the present trend in the new and renovated countries toward social regimentation stems partly from the need to create adequate employment for a large number of scribes. And since the tempo of the production of the literate is continually increasing, the prospect is of ever-swelling bureaucracies.
The handling of our forests as a continuous, renewable resource means permanent employment and stability to our country life. The forests are also needed for mitigating extreme climatic fluctuations, holding the soil on the slopes, retaining the moisture in the ground, and controlling the equable flow of water in our streams.
The injurious agent in cigarettes comes principally from the burning paper wrapper. The substance thereby formed is called "acrolein." It has a violent action on the nerve centers, producing degeneration of the cells of the brain, which is quite rapid among boys. Unlike most narcotics, this degeneration is permanent and uncontrollable. I employ no person who smokes cigarettes.
[From the Laboratory of Thomas A. Edison, Orange, N.J., April 26, 1914.]
[From the Laboratory of Thomas A. Edison, Orange, N.J., April 26, 1914.]
The value of mathematical instruction as a preparation for those more difficult investigations, consists in the applicability not of its doctrines but of its methods. Mathematics will ever remain the past perfect type of the deductive method in general; and the applications of mathematics to the simpler branches of physics furnish the only school in which philosophers can effectually learn the most difficult and important of their art, the employment of the laws of simpler phenomena for explaining and predicting those of the more complex. These grounds are quite sufficient for deeming mathematical training an indispensable basis of real scientific education, and regarding with Plato, one who is as wanting in one of the most essential qualifications for the successful cultivation of the higher branches of philosophy
There has come about a general public awareness that America is not automatically, and effortlessly, and unquestionably the leader of the world in science and technology. This comes as no surprise to those of us who have watched and tried to warn against the steady deterioration in the teaching of science and mathematics in the schools for the past quarter century. It comes as no surprise to those who have known of dozens of cases of scientists who have been hounded out of jobs by silly disloyalty charges, and kept out of all professional employment by widespread blacklisting practices.
We should look upon agriculture not just as a food-producing machine for the urban population, but as the major source of skilled and remunerative employment and a hub for global outsourcing.
Who has studied the works of such men as Euler, Lagrange, Cauchy, Riemann, Sophus Lie, and Weierstrass, can doubt that a great mathematician is a great artist? The faculties possessed by such men, varying greatly in kind and degree with the individual, are analogous with those requisite for constructive art. Not every mathematician possesses in a specially high degree that critical faculty which finds its employment in the perfection of form, in conformity with the ideal of logical completeness; but every great mathematician possesses the rarer faculty of constructive imagination.
[Having already asserted his opposition to communism in every respect by signing the regents' oath, his answer to a question why a non-Communist professor should refuse to take a non-Communist oath as a condition of University employment was that to do so would imply it was] up to an accused person to clear himself. ... That sort of thing is going on in Washington today and is a cause of alarm to thoughtful citizens. It is the method used in totalitarian countries. It sounds un-American to people who dont like to be pushed around. If someone says I ought to do a certain thing the burden should be on him to show I why I should, not on me to show why I should not.

Leave the cannoli: Healthcare workers more likely to have poor dietary habits
Healthcare support workers are more likely to smoke or have poor dietary habits compared to workers in other occupations, according to a recently published study.
The research, published last week in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, studied clinical measures and behavioral risk factors behind cardiovascular disease in more than 6,000 workers over age 45. The first-of-its-kind study found healthcare support workers, including nursing assistants, therapy aides and phlebotomists, to have the lowest prevalence of "optimal" behavioral health habits, such as diet, physical activity and smoking.
The research team, based at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, found nearly 75% of the healthcare support workers surveyed had a poor diet, while nearly 54% had a higher-than-optimal body mass index.
Healthcare support occupations also had the highest prevalence (11.2%) of workers who smoked non-cigarette tobacco products, such as pipes or cigars, the study shows.
The good news for healthcare support workers was, on average, that they had slightly better scores related to physical activity, cholesterol and blood glucose levels.
Healthcare practitioners, such as doctors and nurses, registered some of the best numbers in the study, researchers said. Other fields with workers in better overall health included those working in arts or management.
The study's results "highlight the need for more public health programs targeting cardiovascular disease and related risk factors among workers," researchers wrote. Among strategies they recommended for improving worker health included universal smoke-free policies, restrictions on mandatory overtime and paid sick leave.

Product Details
Monika Chiang Women's Houdn Riding Boots
At first glance, these women's riding boots are a simple classic. On further inspection, however, one might notice the hidden heel. This look effortlessly creates the illusion of a longer leg without adding the appearance of a bulky heel. The stable lifts are still rather low and walkable, making these ultracomfortable during long days spent at the office or over the weekend. The sleek black boots are further gussied up by one obvious style detail: at the top of the shaft, a gleaming silver buckle adds interest on the outer leg, securing a subtle strap that wraps around the back.
A Monika Chiang piece is like a versatile character actor, they're both at once noteworthy but can blend into nearly any crowd. That's because Chiang loves unifying disparate materials into singular designs. A silk tank pieced together with metal chains and mesh panels perhaps, or a buckled shearling pirate boot that looks great whether you're walking down Rodeo Drive or exchanging cannon fire on the high seas. The tension generated by these contrasting materials results in pieces that exude both distinction and function. "I love the versatility," Chiang says of her designs, "and the way [they] can be paired in different ways to achieve a new result each time you get dressed."
The Details
- Classic women's riding boot
- Hidden wedge heel
- Striking buckle detailing
- Tonal stitching
- Strap detail wraps around boot's back and sides

Alara Worrick, SBCC
I'm really excited to be a part of the Rosebud program because I have a passion for film! Having the opportunity to attend screenings and participate in Q&A sessions is a unique and impactful experience to me as a young, aspiring filmmaker. I'm very thankful for this opportunity to broaden my film education.
Alexander Wehrung, UCSB
Having attended SBIFF screenings before, I can't wait to see what the Rosebud program has in store. SBIFF brings a lot of lesser-known gems that are hard to find anywhere else. I am sure it will be very insightful to analyze their chosen movies under Professor Durling's tutelage.
Chris Reilley, SBCC
If I'm dreaming there is no need to wake me up anytime soon. I am beyond thrilled and honored to have this opportunity to be a part of such an exclusive hands-on program within the Santa Barbara film community. As a Film Production Major, I cannot stress how excited I am to have access to pre-release screenings of some of the most highly anticipated films of this year along with Q and A sessions with the directors and the talent themselves. This opportunity I hope will help me grow as a filmmaker and further my deep appreciation and love for film.
Dale Reilley, SBCC
As a Film Production Major, getting the opportunity to be a part of something that allows me an exclusive membership, which usually costs around $1,500 along with a years-long waiting list, that grants me access to pre-release screenings of many of my most anticipated films of the year, and to Q and A sessions with the directors and talent involved in the movies afterwards is simply mind blowing. Not sure if I'm actually awake or just in a movie. Somebody pinch me.
Jacob Ayers, SBCC
My excitement for the Rosebud Program is bolstered upon a passion for screenwriting and a love for cinema that has defined my persona. As I study engineering at Santa Barbara City College I am looking forward to the program appeasing my appetite to be involved in the film industry, as it enables me to get a glimpse into the lives of those who live and breathe the film making process.
Ken White, SBCC
I'm very excited to be in the Rosebud program, and to have such a great opportunity to view and analyze the movies that are coming out within the next few months! Something like the Rosebud program comes only ever so scarcely in someone's life, and I'm going to take hold of this program and use it to the best of my ability. Life has only begun to get really exciting, and I can thank Rosebud for that.
Miguel De La Cruz, SBCC
I'm most excited about the opportunity to see great movies that I haven't heard of or get very little exposure on regular television. Gathering with everyone during our first meeting was great to see others talking about films the way I do. To get this chance is amazing and I'm very excited to see the various and different ways of storytelling from such great artists.
Nathan Leonard, SBCC
I'm beyond excited to be in the Rosebud Program, because for one I was born and raised in Iowa, so I never got an opportunity anything like this before I moved to Santa Barbara last year. I also have a general love for film; I am pursuing a career in acting and filmmaking, so it's really special to get an early, in person look at new films from the people responsible for making them.
Naum Milyavskiy, UCSB
I'm excited to be part of the Rosebud program because it offers passionate students a window into an alternative cinema experience. I'm also super ecstatic about the new state-of-the-art theater equipment. I hope to come out of the program a more critical and more educated film fan/filmmaker.
Zane Stull, SBCC
I love movies and I am happy that my weekends will be filled with them. I am glad to be a part of the SBIFF Rosebud Program and to have an opportunity to influence the questions and topics presented to the filmmakers during the Q & A. I hope to contribute to the audience's and my understanding of what inspires these artists and how they accomplished their work. I am overjoyed to be welcomed into a community that shares my love of all things film and that offers so much passion, experience and insight about the art and practice of filmmaking.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - October 6, 2008 --Republican John McCain is calling Democratic rival Barack Obama a liar. The GOP presidential candidate told a campaign rally: "Sen. Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert this crisis. I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed."
In some of the harshest language yet, McCain said the campaign comes down to a simple question: Who is the real Barack Obama?
McCain drew the loudest cheers when he said the Democrat has written two memoirs but "he's not exactly an open book."
Trailing in the polls, McCain and his advisers say they will hammer that theme as the campaign heads toward the Nov. 4 election.

An ugly and old looking bathroom can be a huge deterrent for a future buyer, but spending a small fortune on renovating a bathroom before you sell is not practical either. A new bath fitting with either acrylic or bathtub glazing complete with a modern Moen faucet is a quick but cost effective way to update the bathtub area. Bathroom vanities and bathroom vanity counter tops accented with American standard bathroom fixtures such as a new toilet and sink can greatly improve the look of the room.

Southern Fried Chicken There's no doubt that Fried Chicken ranks high on many people's list of comfort foods. It's certainly up there on mine. And yes, we know we know, it's not at all good for us.

Mutton & Cabbage Stew I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, or risk being exiled by fundamental traditionalists, but here's a Norwegian classic I'd like to share. Fårikål, literally translated means "sheep in cabbage", and can be pronounced as "for-ee-kole", is a dish as old as time.

Evolutionary theory has long held that the process can only go one way, a rule known as "Dollo's Law." But the new study in Systematic Biology shows that dust mites evolved from free-roaming creatures to specialized parasites before regressing back to their current form.
"All our analyses conclusively demonstrated that house dust mites have abandoned a parasitic lifestyle, secondarily becoming free-living, and then speciated in several habitats, including human habitations," researchers Pavel Klimov and Barry O'Connor said according to a Univeristy of Michigan press release.
The study is surprising because most parasites quickly lose their ability to survive on their own once they're away from their natural host.
"They often experience degradation or loss of many genes because their functions are no longer required in a rich environment where hosts provide both living space and nutrients," Klimov said. "Many researchers in the field perceive such specialization as evolutionarily irreversible."
Researchers hope that the study can give them a better look at how to fight the parasites, which are the most common cause of allergic reactions in humans, affecting more than a billion people worldwide. Dust mites typically live in mattresses, carpets and upholstered furniture in people's homes.

Legacy Of The Prophet: Despots, Democrats, And The New Politics Of IslamBy: Anthony Shadid (author)Paperback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionNow available in paperback, Legacy of the Prophet is a sweeping, first-person account of the transformation in the style and message of Islamic politics at the beginning of the twenty-first century. As terrorism floods our headlines, this book offers a rare but much-needed counterpoint: it shows that Islamic activists have increasingly renounced violence in order to form political parties, engage in grass-roots work, and enter into civil society to bring about peaceful reform in their authoritarian societies. Drawing on his years of reporting in more than a dozen countries of the Muslim world, Anthony Shadid charts the way in which the adolescence of yesterday's Islamic militants is yielding to the maturity of today's activists. Through personal interviews and extensive travel, he chronicles that new generation, which is finding a more realistic and potentially more successful future through democratic politics. Complete with a new introduction, Legacy of the Prophet promises to redefine the debate over the future of political Islam.
About AuthorAnthony Shadid is a correspondent in Washington for the Boston Globe. Over the past decade, he has reported from most countries in the Middle East and was the winner of an Overseas Press Club citation in 1997 for the series of article that form the core of this book. He was formerly a correspondent in Cairo for the Associated Press.

So this week I set myself quite a challenge! Feeding five adults and a toddler completing from scratch, nothing allowed from the freezer or jars. We had my parents to stay for the weekend so this was the perfect opportunity for me to test out my cooking skills….. on mass!! I know feeding five adults is probably fairly common for a lot of people, but usually my husband does the cooking due to my lack of confidence.
For the main I decided to go for a lasagna, salad, coleslaw and potato salad. As I had decided that jars were out of the question this meant I had to make my first ever white sauce for the lasagna, I followed this simple Béchamel white sauce recipe. I didn't use a bay leaf (as I didn't have any) and I also chose to leave out the salt- I don't like to add salt to my cooking, just a personal preference. I was terrified the sauce would come out lumpy, however I found it fairly easy to get the correct consistency- stirring is most definitely the key with this sauce.
I didn't follow a recipe for the meat part of the lasagna but used lean minced beef, an onion, tinned tomatoes (blended as hubby doesn't like the texture of tomatoes), tomato puree, garlic puree, mixed herbs, Worcester sauce and an oxo cube. I really couldn't tell you how much of each ingredient I used, I tasted as I cooked and then adjusted the ingredients accordingly. I'm afraid I didn't make the pasta, I felt this might be pushing myself just that little bit too far!
I used this Coleslaw recipe, again I didn't add salt and I used natural yoghurt instead of buttermilk- mainly because 1. I didn't have a clue what buttermilk is and 2. I didn't want buy something I wouldn't use again. I actually put this together the night before our meal so it had plenty of time to chill before dinner, plus it was one less thing for me to do on the Saturday.
My second favourite part of the meal was the Potato Salad, I'm a huge fan of bacon so this recipe was right up my street. I did attempt to make this on the Friday but half way through boiling the potatoes I realised I didn't have any soured cream or fresh chives- major fail! So I finished boiling them anyway and kept them in the fridge overnight until I could collect the ingredients the next day (or in my case, wait for Mum to arrive with the ingredients in tow!)
I just love this simple but delicious Balsamic and Honey Salad Dressing recipe. It is so quick to make, but may not be your cup of tea if you're not a fan of Balsamic Vinegar.
And finally but by definitely no means least, my favourite part of the meal, and most challenging part for me, the pudding! My husband's, Mum's and friend's favourite dessert Lemon Meringue Pie. This recipe has already been adapted from a Mary Berry recipe and I didn't and wouldn't change a single thing about it. Having never made meringue before, let alone a meringue pie, I was surprised at how easy it was to bake. My Mum said it took her back to her childhood and tasted just like one my Grandad used to bake, needless to say I think this will now be a regular bake of mine!
I am so pleased with how everything turned out and I am proud of myself for achieving something I didn't think was possible. There were only a few things I would change if I were to cook this meal again, and I am happy with that, I believe its always good to have things to improve on. It makes me want to try harder with everything that I do. Next time I would add a little cheese to the white sauce, just for a little added flavour, and because I just love cheese! My lemon meringue pie also sprung a slight leak and I put this down to me not chilling the biscuit base for anywhere near long enough. My husband has requested a homemade pastry base next time so we shall see how that goes. I am loving how this week has introduced me to new ingredients that I have never used before or really kept in the house, I am now the proud owner of a bottle of Balsamic Vinegar and Cider Vinegar. I can't wait to see what other yummy foods this adventure introduces to me.
This week I am going to challenge myself to 'make' something either for the house or the girls bedrooms! I am only on challenge three but I am already feeling more motivated and inspired, fingers firmly crossed that my journey continues in this way!
Thank you again for reading, if you've got any suggestions on what I could cook, bake or make then please comment or tweet me. See you in my next post!

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins [born 5 May 1988], known professionally as Adele. (stylised as ADELE), is an English singer-songwriter. She was the first recipient of the BRIT Awards Critics' Choice and was named the number-one predicted breakthrough act of 2008 in an annual BBC poll of music critics, Sound of 2008. In 2009, Adele won two Grammy Awards, Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, at the 51st Grammy Awards.

Since her debut, 19, Adele has received much recognition both commercially and critically. The album debuted at number one, and has been certified triple platinum in the UK. Her career in the US was boosted by a viewer record breaking Saturday Night Live episode in late 2008. Adele released her second album 21 on 24 January 2011 in the UK, and 22 February in the US. The album was a critical and commercial success, selling 208,000 copies in its first week in the UK and debuting at number one on the UK Album Chart.

Most franchised dealers are not in the business of debt collection; but it is an occupational hazard. Without a buy here pay here lot or a related finance company, the bulk of the debt arises from the service department and body shop work. A typical scenario may look like this: customer incurs $1,000 of repair work and cannot pay immediately. The dealership agrees to a payment plan for four months ($250/mo. for 4 months). The service writer may write down this agreement on paper, or more likely it's a verbal agreement. The customer makes the initial monthly payment but fails to make any subsequent payments.
Now the dealership is out $750. What do you do? Do any laws apply? At the present, the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) does not apply to first party collectors (dealers), it only applies to third party creditors (debt collectors). But, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) just received more than 240 comments from consumers and industry groups regarding proposed changes to the FDCPA. The CFPB is considering making significant changes the FDCPA, including regulating first party collectors (dealers). Now, these changes are a few months or longer down the road but debt collection is on regulators priority list. It's also on consumers' – it ranked number two on the top ten consumer complaint topics received by the Federal Trade Commission in 2013. Identity theft is the only issue that garnered more complaints than debt collection.
What can the dealership do to avoid consumer complaints, regulators, and more importantly collect your money? First and foremost, put in writing any agreement to accept periodic payments. If the dealership is accepting more than four periodic payments from the customer, the transaction is likely covered by the Federal Truth In Lending Act ("TILA") and requires the TILA disclosures. By having the payment agreement in writing, the store is in a better position to enforce the agreement in small claims or bankruptcy court.
The next step is contacting the customer about the unpaid debt. When calling the customer, be sure to identify the caller's name and the dealership's name. When talking to the debtor directly, the discussion can be candid. Be sure not to swear or berate the customer.
If you happen to talk with the customer's kids, spouse, significant other, etc. it becomes a little more challenging. Under the FDCPA, third party collectors or prohibited from sharing that a debtor owes a debt to anyone other than the debtor and debtor's spouse. I would recommend this practice for first party collectors as well. The caller and the dealership should still be identified but avoid disclosing the fact that the call is about an overdue debt. Instead, limit the conversation to confirming the debtors whereabouts (i.e. address and phone number). If the caller disclose information about the debt owed it may be breaching the debtor's privacy rights.
Though the content of the communication is the most important aspect of debt collecting, there are a few other concerns. If the dealership's collections practice is big enough to utilize an automated dialing system, be sure it is in compliance with all telemarketing rules. Do not call the debtor repeatedly to the point of harassment. Do not call the debtor outside of normal business hours. Essentially, use common sense.
You may also try to contact the debtor via mail, sending invoices, pay stubs/booklets, etc. But, the outside of the envelope should not disclose a debt is owed. While only the debtor should be opening the mail, many other individuals may see the outside of the envelope.
One last thing to keep in mind, if you are aware that the debtor has an attorney contact the attorney, not the debtor.
As always, if you have questions about your collection practices contact your attorney. It will almost always be cheaper to pay an attorney to review your practices than to pay a consumer who was harmed by your practices.

Favorite Tracks: "Passover" and "Twenty Four Hours"
Thoughts: (Before Listening) So I THINK back in the day my friend Erin had me watch Control (2007) and I remember nothing about it other than the fact that it was in black and white and sad. I know Joy Division is a super-revered Indie (?) band. This is their second and final studio album released the summer after lead singer Ian Curtis' suicide. Their biggest hit was the single "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and every time I try to remember it I just end up singing Captain and Tenille (which I'm sure Joy Division song is a reference to).
So based off my limited knowledge of the band and their discography, you can tell I'm going into Closer with a pretty blank slate. Here goes.
(After Listening) On "Atrocity Exhibition" I absolutely loved the percussion, hated the distorted guitar, but apparently that was a post-production choice and Peter Hook (who played it) hated how it turned out too: "Made it sound like somebody strangling a cat, and to my mind, absolutely killed the song." I concur!
When I saw that the next track was called "Isolation" this song popped into my head:
I expected to like the Boosh's version better than Joy Division's, but they are both great! Loved the keyboard on the latter.
The beginning of "Passover" was reminiscent of a Bruce Springsteen song, so you know I was down for that. "Colony" reminded me of Talking Heads, again I was a fan of the percussion, as well as the lyrics: God in his wisdom made you understand, God in his wisdom took you by the hand. "A Means to an End" was fine as well, but not very distinguishable from the previous tracks, in my opinion.
"Heart and Soul" was a moody, darker song that I enjoyed--again with the percussion! Easily my favorite part of this album is the drums. But man, from second 0:01 I liked "Twenty Four Hours." The guitar riffs are awesome, slowly building to a faster tempo, and the lyrics are just the kind I like. You know, hopeless and despairing!
Excessive flashpoints, beyond all reach,"The Eternal" is another nice moody song, as was "Decades", which I felt had a more 80s pop sensibility to it.
Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep.
Let's take a ride out, see what we can find,
A valueless collection of hopes and past desires.
Is This Better Than Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy?: The drums were excellent, the lyrics thoughtful, and the tone intriguing. But it didn't engage me in the same way CFATBDC did!

Tag: Pixar
From its first animated feature Toy Story to Finding Nemo, Up, and Cars, Pixar Animation Studios is probably the world's leading producer of animated features. Renowned for producing cartoon movies that stir the imagination and touch the heart, Pixar's ability to allow "artists and geeks" to flourish makes it one of the world's most innovative organisations.
The secrets behind Pixar's success is ably captured in "Innovate the Pixar Way – Business Lessons From The World's Most Creative Corporate Playground". Written by Bill Capodagli and Lynn Jackson of The Disney Way, the book relates how Ed Catmull, Alvy Ray Smith and lengendary animator John Lasseter created a company which captures the imagination of childhood while making dreams come alive. The terrific trio did this by embracing four key principles:

The Darkness of Dawn
Prestige Points
|As characters encounter and overcome challenges, they grow in knowledge, confidence and reputation. The game uses the concept of Prestige Points to track and record the magnitude of their characters' accomplishments to date, as well as provide a way to incrementally upgrade the custom development of the character. These two expressions of a character's reputation and experience are recorded as two types: total prestige points and active prestige points.
|Total Prestige Points
|In the course of excelling in the game, total prestige points record the total number of prestige points the character has accrued to date. Total prestige points are a sort of gauge of how widespread one's reputation has become, and the amount of respect (or enmity) the character should expect from the Galaxy. Even if active prestige points are expended, a character's total points can never be reduced. Total prestige points act as a qualifying marker for rank, types of command commissions, and the number of ships able to serve under the PCs command. The table below relates these aspects:
|Active Prestige Points
|Prestige points awarded to a character are available to the PC in enriching themselves or the world around them. In this way, prestige points (pp) can be allocated to a variety of options. Improvements listed as points per "grade," are available for purchase but cost in multiples bases on the level of upgrade. For instance, a +1 bonus in Gunnery Optics costs 10 pp where +2 Gunnery Optics would cost 20 pp. All +1 bonuses must be purchased prior to acquiring +2 or higher bonuses.
|Prestige Points are awarded by the GM at the conclusion of every Chapter. The amount of Prestige Points awarded to players comes at the sole discretion of the GM, and should reflect the challenges overcome during the course of play, in terms of both quantity and quality of gameplay. The awarded amounts should be in balance with the relative efforts of the character's performance, and care should be taken to prevent characters from escalating skills and powers, thus unbalancing the game. The current method of awarding Prestige Points begins with a baseline of two (2) PPs per post, as an order of magnitude. Beyond this baseline, the GM may award supplemental awards in the areas (categories) of Problem Solving, Combat, and Role Playing. Award amounts in each of these categories range from 25-100 Prestige Points. The award of supplemental PPs is not mandatory. The following graphically describes the current method.
|Prestige Point Guidelines & Upgrades by Career Type
|Army (Imperial)
|Army (Mercenary)
|Army (New Rebublic)
|Bounty Hunter
|Dark Jedi
|Navy (Imperial)

First off, I've made the switch from turtle type graphics, implemented in the Hilbert program, to drawing lines between coordinates. This may not sound like much, but it's one of the things I needed to accomplish to get the DrawBot to draw InkScape .svg files.
The second advance is I've gotten an .svg path decoder working, so I can create a drawing in Inkscape utilizing paths, save it as .svg, open it in my decoder, and get out a stream of coordinates, that when I draw straight lines between them, will reproduce the Inkscape drawing.
The one remaining item I need to fully implement .svg drawing is working pen up/down hardware. I built and tested a board this past weekend. Now it's a matter of integrating the new hardware and software.
For now though, here's a video of a spirograph type graphic using the new coordinate based graphics - Enjoy.

"Of course, the redeeming feature has to be the multiplayer. It's online only, and will let you browse a list of games and jump right into any that have free slots. That's right, no friend codes. The inability to talk to anyone renders the team mode a little redundant but as a deathmatch it's fast, frantic and makes great use of those silky controls.
So while we can't recommend it as a solo game, there's a lot to be said for the skill-based killage to be had with something that handles this well online. One for Wi-Fi users only."
Score: 7.2
Sounds promising as an online FPS. Now we just need a bit fresher idea for a FPS game... (I still want that RTS, goddamnit!)

Hello my name is Megan, I'm a 25 year old woman living in Australia. Welcome to itsmeganjay it's very lovely to meet you. This is my little space on the world wide web, this is where I blog about my life, the good, the bad and the very ugly.
I've been in this game for a very long time, about 8 or so years I've lost count I've been building websites and blogging since Piczo and I'm still learning everyday
I decided on the name 'itsmeganjay' because It's my name and this blog is about me and my life
A Little Bit of History
I born back in December of 1991. I have only lived in one suburb my whole entire life, pretty exciting I know.
I've been blogging on and off for the past 7+ years (since about 2008/2009). Over the years my blog/website has changed. I initially started by providing free content and tutorials for fellow web designers (using free websites like piczo, webs etc), I did own a sub-domain many years ago, but sadly it didn't work out, so I moved to WordPress, then moved to tumblr, which I love, but I mostly use it as a photo blog, now I've gone back to WordPress, and hopefully it stays that way,
I still hope that one day I will own my own domain
Since 3rd April, 2016, I now own itsmeganjay.com
When I'm not blogging, or on the computer, I enjoy writing, especially songs, taking photographs, spending time with friends and family, shopping.
If there is anything you would like to know, feel free to message me via the contact page
