The parents of the woman whose leg was severed when she was hit by a taxi in midtown Manhattan said in a statement Thursday that they hope she is on her way to recovery, and thanked those who helped her after the crash.
Jason and Sonia Green thanked David Justino, the plumber who used his belt as a tourniquet on Sian Green's leg after she was struck Tuesday, and TV personality Dr. Mehmet Oz, who was also on scene because his office is nearby.
"We hope Sian will soon be on her way to recovery and will be able to personally thank all the kind people of New York City," the parents said.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Green's left leg was amputated below the knee after the accident, according to Dr. Spiros G. Frangos, director of the the surgical intensive care unit at Bellevue Hospital. Frangos said the leg was too badly damaged for replantation.
Green's right leg was also wounded deeply in several places, said Frangos. The cuts were cleaned and repaired, and Green "will likely regain most functionality with time and physical therapy."
Witnesses told NBC 4 New York that 24-year-old Mohammad Himon's cab swerved to avoid a bike messenger when it ran up on the curb at 49th Street and Sixth Avenue on Tuesday and hit Green, who had just arrived in New York City for vacation.
Justino and other people nearby jumped into action after the crash in the busy plaza. A halal food vendor put the 23-year-old's severed leg on ice in a cooler. Oz arrived on the scene after Justino applied the tourniquet.
"They saved her life," Oz said.
Himon said Wednesday he felt "very, very" bad after the horrific crash.
"I feel sorry about that," said Himon, who immigrated to the U.S. from Bangladesh five years ago. "I always pray for her to God."
The cabbie wouldn't go into details of the crash, which he said happened "very, very quickly."
Investigators are probing whether the bike messenger may have startled Himon by banging on his trunk, and when he turned around, he hit the gas pedal instead of the brake.
Police are looking for video and sending technicians to determine what happened in the crash, including how fast the driver was going, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Wednesday..
"These collisions and accidents take some time to reconstruct, so that investigation is still going forward," he said. The driver has received summonses not related to the crash, and the investigation "is certainly not closed as of yet," Kelly said.
The driver and the bicyclist, who suffered minor injuries, were given alcohol breath tests at the scene and neither tested positive, a law enforcement official told NBC 4 New York.

Brief Synopsis
A falling star marries the newcomer he's helping reach the top.
In Los Angeles, at a benefit show for the Motion Picture Relief Fund at the Shrine Auditorium, prominent but fading movie star Norman Maine arrives drunk and out of control. To save his studio from embarrassment, Oliver Niles, the studio head, tells his publicity director, Matt Libby, to keep Norman away from the stage. Using the pretense of publicity photographs and interviews, Libby lures Norman into the pressroom. However, Norman soon guesses Libby's ruse, knocks Libby into a mirror, smashing it to pieces, then heads toward the stage, pushing through performers awaiting their cue. Onstage, the Glenn Williams Orchestra is performing, and when the band's vocalist, Esther Blodgett, sees Norman coming, she links arms and struts with him, incorporating him into the act, thus preventing him from disrupting their performance. As he bows and exits, the audience cheers, believing the star's appearance was planned.
Afterward, backstage, Esther is preparing to depart, when Norman takes her lipstick and draws a heart on the wall with their initials inside to mark the time she "saved" him from disgracing himself. He invites her to supper, but she must leave with pianist Danny McGuire for another job at the Ambassador Hotel's Cocoanut Grove. Later, after sobering up, Norman goes to the Grove and learns from the headwaiter that the band, after finishing their performance, went to the Downbeat Club on Sunset Blvd. Norman proceeds there and hears Esther sing. Impressed with her talent, he drives her home and urges her not to settle for little dreams. Telling her she is good enough to be in motion pictures, he offers to introduce her to Oliver. Early the next morning, influenced by Norman, Esther quits the band, which goes to San Francisco without her. Norman intends to follow up on his promise but, at six a.m., the studio car comes to take him away to his next movie assignment, which is shooting on location at sea for several weeks.
Unable to reach Esther himself, he tries to get in touch with her through crew members, but no one takes his request seriously, and he cannot remember her address. When she does not hear from Norman, Esther assumes he was just flirting with her. To make ends meet, she sings for a commercial, but then must support herself by working at a drive-in restaurant. After shooting on Norman's film is complete, he searches for her, but by then she has moved to a cheaper rooming house. Eventually, after recognizing her voice on the commercial, he tracks her down and arranges for her screen test at the studio. The studio personnel make her over with a blonde wig and nose prosthetic, but Norman comes to the rescue and has her change back to her normal appearance. After completing a bit role, she receives her first paycheck and learns that the studio has given her a screen name, Vicki Lester.
Oliver shows no interest in Esther, believing that she is simply a passing romantic fancy of Norman's, until Norman arranges for him to overhear her singing. Then she is given a role in a musical and, with Norman's guidance, overcomes her nervousness to become an overnight success. Norman then tries to back out of a relationship with her, claiming, "I destroy everything I touch," but Esther tells him that she loves him. Norman proposes to Esther during a recording session, unaware that a nearby microphone is picking up and recording everything they say. At first Esther refuses, claiming that Norman is too irresponsible and drinks too much, but after listening to the playback, she accepts, prompting everyone in the studio to cheer. When news of the engagement reaches the studio, Libby warns Oliver of trouble, but Oliver feels that marriage is just what Norman needs to overcome his problems. Libby plans a highly-publicized nuptial event, but Esther and Norman sneak off for a quiet marriage ceremony by a small-town justice of the peace, with Danny and two prisoners in attendance.
Libby, resenting the years he has covered up for Norman, is infuriated. After returning from their honeymoon, Norman and Esther throw a party at their new Malibu beach house, during which Oliver tells Norman that the New York studio heads have ordered his contract to be dropped. Pleased with this turn of events, Libby sends out press releases stating that Norman asked to be released from his contract. While Esther's career continues to rise, Norman spends his days at home, hoping to resume his career. However, when a deliveryman calls him "Mr. Lester," he realizes that his career is dead and he returns to drinking. At the next Academy Awards ceremony, Esther is named Best Actress. As she gives her acceptance speech, Norman drunkenly climbs onstage and makes his own speech, begging for a job. Gesturing wildly, he accidentally hits Esther in the face. While Norman spends time in a sanitarium to dry out, Oliver tells the depressed Esther that he will give Norman another chance. He offers Norman a part in a film, but Norman declines it, realizing that it is not a lead role. After his release from the sanitarium, Norman plans to remain sober.
At the Santa Anita racetrack, where he drinks ginger ale instead of his usual liquor, he encounters Libby, who tries to humiliate him. Norman overlooks Libby's malicious taunting, until the publicity man accuses him of living off Esther's income. Norman then hits Libby, who strikes back, knocking Norman to the floor. Hearing the crowd gossip that he is "drunk again," Norman orders a double scotch. After not hearing from Norman for four days, Esther becomes worried. When she gets a call informing her that Norman has been arrested for drunkenness, she and Oliver proceed to the court, where the judge sentences Norman to ninety days in jail. Pleading for the judge to suspend the sentence, Esther promises to be responsible for Norman, and the judge relents.
At home the next day, while Norman is sleeping, the crying Esther tells Oliver that she has decided to quit filmmaking. She wants to take Norman away for a new start, so that he can get back his health, and later, his career. Although Oliver regrets that Esther is sacrificing her career, he agrees to release her from her studio obligations, but warns her that Norman's talents are gone, ruined by twenty years of alcoholism. Having awakened, Norman overhears them through an open window. Later, pretending to be in a good mood, Norman tells Esther that he is going out for a swim and asks her to sing to him. As she sings, he swims toward the sunset, allowing himself to drown. Later, Libby reports Norman's "accidental" death to the newspapers. After the funeral, a gawking crowd encircles Esther as she leaves the church, causing her to break down. Secluding herself at the beach home, she refuses to answer phone calls.
Danny, who is now her studio accompanist, arrives to pick her up for a Shrine Auditorium benefit concert she promised to attend before Norman's death. When she refuses to go, Danny tells her she is wasting what Norman gave her and what he died to keep from destroying. His accusation succeeds in getting her to leave the house. Backstage at the auditorium, she sees the heart Norman drew on the wall. When she is asked by the emcee to say a few words, she proclaims, "Hello everybody. This is Mrs. Norman Maine."

App Review: iStory by Taylor Steil
by Dorothy on
February 7, 2009
Filed under Book, Daily App Reviews, Kids
When I found this app in the iTunes App Store, I was excited to try it out. I loved the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books as a kid, and was excited to see what they had to offer. I downloaded the app and set out to read my first story. I was surprised to find that there are not really any complete stories available at this time. However, there are sample stories and puzzles there to show you what the app can do. The real value of the app comes in its ability to help you create your own "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories and share them with other iPhone and iPod Touch users.
To create your own story, you tap "Create your own iStory." The app then asks for your email address. After entering your email address, you receive an email with a registration link. You click on the link and it takes you to their website where you can create your own stories and then submit them for review. The iStory team reviews and approves each story before it is released to others. This process also links your iPhone or iPod with your iStory account so that the stories that you are working can be read on your device before they are submitted for review and publishing. The only real goofy thing that I ran into in the setup process was that it didn't seem to matter what email address you gave them to start with, you cannot login into or use the website without having a Google email address. When you log in there is a disclaimer from Google saying they are not affiliated with iStory, but why the Google email address requirement? Luckily, I had one already set up and could proceed.
At first, I did not know where to start. When I clicked on the help link at the top of the page, I found detailed instructions on how to get started on a story. The actual creation of the story was pretty easy. I did make a couple of mistakes early on that took some thinking to work past, but eventually got it all straightened out. You start your story by creating a cover with or without a picture. From there you start typing your story. When you get to a spot where you want to place a fork in the road, you click on add a choice and enter the text for that choice. You can use as much text or as many pictures as you want.
A story of this type presents a unique challenge in keeping track of the pages and where they go and come from. The interface that iStory offers helps you keep track of the pages with a drill down type menu on the left hand side of the screen. Each time you add a choice to a page, the program cues up that choice as a page in the drill down menu that needs text. You can navigate from one page to the next by clicking on a page in the drill down menu. To check your progress and make sure you are doing everything right simply click on "Play Story" and you can see your story as it would appear on your iPhone. Or you can click the refresh button in the iStory app on your iPhone. Your story will then appear on your phone and be available to download.
You can share your story with others at any step in the creative process. When you share your story with someone, you can give them reader, author, or admin status. As a reader, they can only read the story. As an author, someone can add to and delete from your story in a collaborative effort. Admin status allows them full access to the story. When you are finished with your story, you can submit it to iStory for review. Once approved, your story will be available to other iPhone and iPod users to read and enjoy.
I wasn't so sure about this app until I actually went through the process of creating a story and downloading it to my phone. It was fun and kind of neat. This app is a great one for encouraging kids to write and be creative. What kid wouldn't like to see their story being published and enjoyed by others? This app is not only for kids, though. It is appropriate for people of all ages. I think the app will only become better as more and more stories become available for reading. It was only just released Feb. 4th and needs some time to grow.
iStory is in the iTunes App Store for $2.99.

Shirley Temple, the famous movie star, was born in 1928. She made her first movie in 1932. Thousands of items picturing Shirley have been and still are being made. Shirley Temple dolls were first made in 1934 by Ideal Toy Company. Millions of Shirley Temple cobalt blue glass dishes were made by Hazel Atlas Glass Company and U.S. Glass Company from 1934 to 1942. They were given away as premiums for Wheaties and Bisquick. A bowl, mug, and pitcher were made as a breakfast set. Some pieces were decorated with the picture of a very young Shirley, others used a picture of Shirley in her 1936 Captain January costume. Shirley Temple starred in forty-three feature films and fourteen short films. A set of all of her movies is now being sold on TV. Although collectors refer to a cobalt creamer, it is actually the 4 1/2-inch-high milk pitcher from the breakfast set. Many of these items are being reproduced today.

"Best day ever!" the bride wrote on Instagram as cameras caught the couple sharing a kiss on the lips.
"We're beyond excited to announce that we are officially Mr. and Mrs. Smith!" the newlyweds also shared with People, who first broke the news. "The journey so far has been amazing, and we can't wait to continue on this path as a married couple. Our wedding has reminded us that we are just two best friends who realized we're both the same kind of crazy and fell in love."
This past New Year's Day, the singer kicked off 2016 by proposing to his longtime friend. They would ultimately reveal the happy news on Instagram.

The Windows Vista team has been working closely with Apple to "ensure a great experience in using Windows Vista with iTunes and the iPod." At least that's according to Nick White of the Windows Vista Team Blog. Why is he telling us this? Because the Vista Team has published an update for iPod-toting Vista users. The final one, that is.
The compatibility update is to address the problem of people's iPods becoming corrupt when using the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the Windows system tray. The update is for worldwide users, according to White, and is recommended for everyone who uses an iPod and Windows. Although the fix is being released today via the web site, it won't become available via Windows Update on your desktop until May 22.
So if any of our dear readers use their iPods on a Vista machine—hey, it's possible; I used to use Windows exclusively every day at work and plugged my iPod in there all the time—then it's highly recommended to run this update and ensure that your iPod does not become corrupt. Why is this on Infinite Loop, do you ask? Well, it has to do with iPods, and the Powers That Be™ said so. ;)

There's much debate on the causes of climate change. Scientists, politicians and opinion leaders all take the stage to present their vision or ideas. However, cool(E)motion is not focused on the possible causes of climate change. We merely note that the climate is changing, whatever the cause. Let's now focus on what this means for the Arctic. And more specifically, what will happen to traditional culture, when hunters can't trust the ice, when seals disappear and wheater condition deteriorate?
Cool(e)motion urges those in power to focus on the cultural effects of climate changes. We seek attention for this message by creating giant sculptures on ice bergs that will float when spring comes. This way, the sculptural 'hunters' can search for new hunting grounds for people in the Arctic.

Donald Sterling not paying fine is key legal opener
The letter from Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's attorney to the NBA claiming no wrongdoing on Sterling's behalf is a persuasive indication he plans to fight the league in court, sports law expert Warren K. Zola says.
"It was to put the NBA on notice that they're preparing to go to battle," said Zola, an adjunct professor of business law at Boston College's Carroll School of Management. "It's clear that the attorney and, I assume, Donald Sterling do not feel any punishment is warranted. Clearly, that's a precursor to litigation."
USA TODAY Sports reported Thursday that Sterling's lawyer, Maxwell M. Blecher, told the NBA his client will not pay the $2.5 million fine and that Sterling does not warrant "any punishment at all" and said the matter will need to be adjudicated.
STERLING:More on letter to NBA
WIFE:Has signed divorce papers
The letter addresses only the fine, which Sterling missed the deadline to pay, and the lifetime ban, not the league's push to terminate Sterling's ownership.
"I don't see any scenario in which he and his attorney have an ability to overturn either the ban or the league fine," Zola said. "Quite frankly, even if he doesn't pay the fine, it can be withheld from television payments as would interest from that fine."
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver issued the fine and ban April 29, when he also said he would urge NBA owners to force a sale of the Clippers. Silver's stance came after a recording of Sterling making racist comments was made public, and the first-year commissioner received widespread praise around the NBA, including backing from all 29 other owners.
Using the NBA Constitution and By-Laws, the league thinks has a clear and unassailable case against Sterling, according to Zola. The NBA has homed in on Article 13(d), which states an owner may be terminated if the owner should "fail or refuse to fulfill its contractual obligations to the Association, its Members, Players, or any third party in such a way as to affect the Association or its Members adversely."
VIDEO: Magic showed class, Sterling crass
Sterling also signed moral and ethical contracts as part of being an owner, and the league thinks he violated contractual obligations in the audio recording.
"The courts have a really hard time and will have a hard time overturning the internal constitution and bylaws within a private association unless those actions are arbitrary and capricious, and that doesn't it appear that is the case," Zola said.
University of Toledo law professor Geoffrey Rapp said Sterling and his attorneys also could be setting ground work to allow Sterling to have a say in the potential sale of his team.
"I still think most of the public statements by both Sterlings (Donald and wife Shelly) represent an attempt to stake out a position to have more control over the terms and price of the sale of the team," Rapp said in an e-mail. "I'll believe they want to sue only when they file a complaint."
'TYRANNICAL':Sterling's 'bully' reputation in court
CLIPPERS:Beaten by Thunder as well as Sterling
Indeed, if Sterling is forced to sell, he likely will want the highest price for his team, which could sell for more than $1 billion.
"What will be interesting is what will happen if and when bids are submitted to the league," Zola said. "The league and its owners have clear authority to determine and approve a potential buyer. What happens if they decide to pass over a higher bid for an owner that they value?"
There is precedent in professional sports of a team being sold for less than the highest bid. The Boston Red Sox were sold in 2002 to a group that wasn't the highest bidder.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 9, No. 1 Spring 1982 DOCTORAL RESEARCH Maureen H. Berry, Editor UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS This current selection of dissertations provides a long-range per-spective on the interrelationships between trade and the growth of economic, political, and social institutions in a number of different countries. Andrews takes the lead with his account of multidisciplinary re-search into the role of the salt trade in developing the Maya civili-zation during the dawn of the common era. Moving into more mod-ern times, we take up the first of several studies involving the great rival nations of France and Spain. Berger's theme is a familiar one: the influence of financial administration on war and its outcome. By the middle of the 17th century, France's prolonged war with Spain had brought her to the verge of bankruptcy and attempts to raise money led to the civil disturbances of the Fronde. After lead-ing us through these events, Berger introduces his "great man": a dissertation approach which has grown in popularity recently. This leading figure was Foucquet whose ambiguous dealings in State financial paper led to personal disaster but national triumph. The money which Foucquet raised went to pay for the army. The army was victorious and France was on its way to becoming the greatest power on the Continent of Europe. Longfellow's analysis of the labor movement in Lyon during the final years of the ancien regime, its political strategies and alliances to achieve social goals, and its taking to the streets during the Revo-lution, rings with familiar parallel events in Eastern Europe. The weavers won their struggle for separate identity, but only to see these social and political gains swept away by a public policy, in their case, laissez-faire economics. While France was experiencing complete and rapid change in all its institutions, its best friend and best enemy, Spain, was benefitting from its own significant change in economic policy. McWatters' study of the royal tobacco monop-oly in New Spain is an important analysis of the process and im-plications of shifting from private to public ownership. Further, it

Concert promoter Live Nation and ticketing giant Ticketmaster confirmed global domination plans today. They also said their customers won't get creamed.
"Ticketmaster does not set prices. Live Nation does not set ticket prices. Artists set the prices," said Ticketmaster Chairman Barry Diller, to be chairman of the new company — which would be called Live Nation Entertainment.
Diller did not mention the ticket surcharges Ticketmaster relies on for much of its revenue. Very reassuring.
Ticketmaster has already come under fire for redirecting people buying tickets to a Bruce Springsteen show from its regular Web site to its subsidiary, TicketsNow. That site ripped off customers for hundreds of dollars, even though face-value tickets were still available.
The Boss was not happy. In response, he posted a statement on his Web site saying the merger between Ticketmaster and Live Nation could end up "returning us to a near-monopoly situation in music ticketing."
A Toronto man has since filed a $410 million lawsuit that claims he fell victim to the same corporate scalping scheme when he tried to buy tickets to a Smashing Pumpkins concert in 2008, Reuters reported.
Ticketmaster Chairman Barry Diller has blamed the Springsteen incident on a "technical glitch" by a credit card company and apologized to The Boss. He said the latest Canadian lawsuit was "without merit."
But U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell has already said that he wants the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department to investigate the company's conflict of interests.
Now Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., is the latest politician to throw down a gauntlet. He released a statement Tuesday opposing the merger, calling the Springsteen ticketing debacle a "bait-and-switch" scam.
Live Nation's board of directors includes Ari Emanuel, brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
What does that mean for the merger's chance of gaining regulatory approval?

This 57 x 21 oil painting of Pedro Martinez, completed in 2000, will be installed in the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery tomorrow. If they've got aesthetic, they'll put it across from the Carlton Fisk portrait already in their collection.
"El Orgullo y la Determinacion" will hang in the "recent acquisitions" gallery, and we're sure it will be very popular, but what grabs our attention is the donor. Does anyone else find it weird that Peter Gammons once paid $35,000 for a large oil painting of Pedro Martinez? That's not healthy, right?

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and cram for your Psychology exam. Did you start studying yet? What does that say about your personal shortcomings? What was your relationship with your father like? LET'S GO!
INSIDE THE ROYAL WEDDING – 8:00PM (NBC) Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira host this primetime look at preparations for the Royal Wedding. Lauer and Vieira on TV at NIGHT? That's gonna really confuse me. I'm gonna see them on the screen and go scarf down cereal bars and start brewing coffee, just out of sheer instinct. Anyway, the hosts will take a look at Kate's dress choices, along with the cake and how the guest list was assembled. And I bet putting together that guest list was a real joy for the bride and groom. "Oh Wills, the duchess of Landfordchestershire and her 57 cousins need to also be on the list. Just remove all your best friends." ANTICIPATION: ROYAL!
EXTREME ROYAL COLLECTIONS – 10:00PM (TLC) More Royal Wedding lunacy over at TLC, with this hourlong special profiling people who collect lots and lots of royal merchandise. Oh look! A tuft of Princess Diana's hair! That's not creepy at all! Aw, and would you look at that? It's the Queen's Polident box. Priceless both in value and memories. ANTICIPATION: WAY ROYAL!
AMERICAN IDOL – 8:00PM (FOX) There are six contestants left, and tonight they're going to be subjected to the cruelest theme night of all: CAROLE KING NIGHT. Because what young singer under 25 hasn't wanted to spend an hour covering old Carole King songs? Come on, "Idol." Carole King? These kids are near the finals. Give them a chance to shine with new songs, for crying out loud. ANTICIPATION: KING THEM!
SOUTH PARK – 10:00PM (Comedy Central) The season premiere. And if you saw "The Book of Mormon," you know that these men may never run out of comedic momentum. ANTICIPATION: HIGH!
THE COLBERT REPORT – 11:30PM (Comedy Central) Ice-T is your guest star. And at some point, someone will have to take T to task for Body Count. Not their violent lyrics, mind you. Just the music itself, which was incredibly bad. ANTICIPATION: NIGHTMARE WALKIN', PSYCHOPATH TALKIN'!

I've considered whether MIGA guarantees are, in effect, governance products. Readers might rightly ask how I've come to this conclusion. Consider what a governance product is: something that supports good governance (and by this we mean, first and foremost, eliminating corruption and its incentives). Thus, could not a MIGA guarantee be recognized as a governance product from two perspectives—that of the company that is our guarantee holder and that of the country host to a MIGA-insured investment?
In our most recent World Investment and Political Risk report, the companies MIGA surveyed noted that political risk was their top concern over the next three years when investing in emerging markets. When we asked how companies mitigate political risk, the use of political risk insurance ranks ninth, after such tactics as "use of joint venture or alliance with local company," "engagement with local communities", and—of interest for this blog—"engagement with government in host country" and "developing close relationships with political leaders." Indeed, "government engagement" can take a multitude of forms, including some that are less appealing than others in countries where government institutions are weak.
When a company chooses to guarantee its investment with MIGA, the company manages, transparently and at an explicit cost, the various non-commercial risks it is facing. Of course, the wise company will still need to engage the government and other groups such as civil society in order to ensure it has a valid social license to operate.
Transparency is unavoidable as MIGA discloses its intention to guarantee an investment on the homepage of its website and does so again when a contract of guarantee is signed. Companies can and do use that public knowledge to their advantage (for instance, informing investors when they are listed) to demonstrate that they conduct business transparently and sustainably in emerging markets.
Similarly, governments may inherit a situation whereby risk perceptions are heightened due to previous governments' actions, or by the fact the country belongs to a region that has or has experienced problems. Here it is important to note that MIGA is unable to insure any investment without having formal host country approval. This means that the host country government—without needing to provide a counter indemnity or use its own financial capacity—is making a statement as to (i) its awareness of the investment, (ii) its congruence with the government's development objectives, (iii) its intention not to take any politically-motivated actions against the investment, and (iv) its intention to fulfill any obligations it may have toward the investment.
Just like the investor, the government can leverage MIGA's public disclosure and use it externally to its advantage to attract interested investors, and internally, to signal to its own administration that this particular investment is covered by MIGA and should be treated fairly and transparently.
And here we have it: from at least two perspectives, MIGA's political risk insurance—by its nature and process—is a governance product. In its way, MIGA, as a trusted bridge between the private and public sectors, bolsters the World Bank Group's efforts toward more transparency, less corruption, and public accountability in pursuit of better development outcomes.

295 NEH-funded projects encourage Americans to rediscover America's cultural heritage, preserve it for future generations
WASHINGTON, April 5 - William R. Ferris, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), today announced the awarding of 295 NEH grants totaling $30.5 million. The grants--the second of three rounds for the 2000 fiscal year--promote NEH's interconnected goals of preserving America's cultural heritage, enabling scholars to expand knowledge about it, helping humanities teachers incorporate the best high-tech educational materials in their classrooms, and reaching all Americans through dynamic public humanities programming on public television and radio, in museums and libraries, and on the web.
"The National Endowment for the Humanities is committed to reaching every American--students and adults alike--with learning opportunities about American history and culture," said Chairman Ferris. "Through NEH support for cultural preservation, educational technology, curriculum development, public programs and scholarly research, we are creating ways for Americans of all ages and backgrounds to rediscover America by exploring the events and achievements of our national story."
Awards lists are available from the Recent Awards page. Some highlights among the grants are:
- ongoing microfilming of historic U.S. newspapers in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Illinois, New York and Tennessee;
- development of a website featuring online teaching materials on the American Revolution, the Civil War era and the 1920s by Massachusetts's Assumption College;
- creation of an educational website featuring historic maps for grades K-12 by Chicago's Newberry Library;
- development of digital resources for teaching the Underground Railroad by the University of Pennsylvania;
- development of a digital sourcebook for teaching Russian history from 1917 to the present, including access to primary sources from recently opened Soviet archives, by Minnesota's Macalester College;
- and excavation of a 5th-century B.C. shipwreck off the coast of Turkey by Texas A&M University.
The spring round also includes NEH's annual "preservation and access" grants. The 67 projects totaling $18.8 million will advance the Endowment's preservation mission in several critical ways: by supporting preservation microfilming of historic U.S. newspapers and brittle books, stabilization and documentation of fragile collections of rare objects, digitization of materials for access to collections by Internet, creation of research tools and reference works, field testing of high-tech programs to control environmental conditions in storage space, and training programs for conservators.
Programs, number of projects, and dollar amounts this round are:
Preservation and access (67) $18,821,000
- microfilming of brittle books (8) 4,637,612
- development of research tools and reference works (20) 4,585,150

- stabilization and documentation of artifact collections (7) 1,449,335
- field testing of high-tech environmental controls in storage space (1) 355,450
Research projects (187) $6,876,000
- collaborative research (editions, archaeology, conferences, etc.) (37) 4,213,000
- fellowship programs at independent research institutions (15) 2,123,000
- summer stipends (135) 540,000
Education projects (22) $4,069,000
- materials development and curriculum development (22) 4,069,000

- documentary film and radio projects (5) 149,000
- website development (2) 100,000
- library projects (1) 39,000
NEH grants are awarded on a competitive basis. Throughout the year, humanities experts outside of the Endowment assess all applications and judge the quality and significance of each proposed project.

Utter drivel, I've had them for under a month and they have torn next to the seams on one glove and all the the neoprene has 'rubbed' off the fingers on the other. absolutely fuming. whats worse is I've lost the receipt and packaging so i dont think I can return them
I've had a couple of pairs of O'Neill gloves which fell apart almost immediately but that was a couple years back. Looks like they've not done anything about it which is odd.

Q: Do I treat phragmites the same as I treat cattails?
Ben – Clio, MI
A: Phragmites are trouble. These perennial, warm-season grasses are an invasive species in many parts of the country. When the dense stands take over a lake or wetland area, they can cause adverse ecological, economic and social impacts – including reduced access to your swimming or fishing hole and increased fire danger.
Before we discuss how to control these weeds, also termed "common reed," let's learn a bit more about them.
Phragmites 101
In their information-packed booklet titled, A Guide to the Control and Management of Invasive Phragmites, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and Michigan Department of Natural Resources describes phragmites as plants that can reach 15 feet in height with flat, stiff, tapering leaves. During growing season, the plant grows gray-green foliage and purple-brown-silver seed head plumes at the end of long stocks, which appear in late July. In the fall, the foliage turns tan and falls off, leaving behind the stock and plume-topped shoot throughout the winter.
But the worst part of phragmites is its rhizome and root system, which can grow to an incredible 60 feet in length and 6 feet deep. More than 80 percent of the plant's yearly biomass is contained below ground, making it very difficult to treat and control.
Managing the Biomass
To eliminate phragmites, you have to attack the right portion of the plant at the right time within its life cycle. Here's what we recommend.
- Herbicide Treatment: In the late summer, early fall when the phragmites are flowering, treat them with an herbicide. We recommend Shoreline Defense® to control cattails and for partial control of phragmites. When using an herbicide, make sure you use Treatment Booster™ PLUS, which contains a surfactant that will help the chemicals enter the plant's system faster.
- Remove the Dead Weeds: In two to three weeks, after the weeds have died, cut them down with a Weed Cutter and manually remove the dead weeds – including the seed heads and rhizomes, which should be bagged and thrown away.
- Controlled Burn: In situations where it can be used safely and effectively, a prescribed fire is an effective and ecologically sound method for controlling phragmites. It's critical, however, to first treat the area with herbicides and then follow-up with the controlled burn the following year in the late summer, according to the DEQ. Work closely with your local departments to ensure safety, proper permits are in order and timing is correct.
For more information about removing these invasive weeds and reclaiming your pond or late, contact your local Department of Natural Resources or Department of Environmental Quality. They have a wealth of knowledge and know-how to help.
Pond Talk: Have you successfully battled phragmites? What was your strategy?

One of the great success stories of the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships Miller Elwin and Henriette Iatika of Vanuatu finally had their dream run come to a close in the women's Round of 16 at the hands of the favourites and top seeds from China Chen Xue and Xi Zhang on Friday. The 25 and 28-year-old respectively have hit the headlines throughout the five days of the tournament with their outstanding performances, which saw them finish third in their pool to advance to the knockout phase, record an impressive win over 15th seeds Kristyna Kolocova and Marketa Slukova in the Round of 32 before falling to Xue and Zhang Xi 2-0 (22-20, 21-11).

Blog - Laciga sees
young teams going far in men's World Champs
As we approach the single elimination phase of the Beach Volleyball World Championships in Stare Jablonki, Switzerland's Martin Laciga tells FIVB.org why he believes there is a greater likelihood of the younger teams making a mark in the men's competition this year. "At the World Championships this year we are seeing teams with varying levels of experience than ever before. While it is still difficult to say who will win, I believe that the younger teams will have more of an opportunity to make their mark in the men's competition this year. More
The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships Mazury 2013 takes place every two years. The event in Stare Jablonki runs from July 1 to 7 with the women's finals on Saturday and men's finals on Sunday.

Osteoporosis is a disease that makes your bones thin, brittle, and easy to break. It's related to the loss of bone mass that happens as a natural part of aging. It's most common in women who have gone through menopause, but it can also occur in men.
As osteoporosis gets worse, it can lead to broken bones in the hip, spine, and wrist. Treatment can slow bone loss and increase bone thickness.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Disney says it and its Chinese partner will spend $800 million more on their Shanghai theme park, bringing the total investment to nearly $5.5 billion.
The extra spending will go toward more attractions, entertainment and other offerings. Most of the additions are targeted to be completed by opening day, which is aimed for the end of 2015.
CEO Bob Iger said in a statement that Disney has been impressed with the growth of China's economy, the expansion of the middle class and a significant increase in travel and tourism.
Shanghai Shendi Group owns 57 percent of the park while The Walt Disney Co. holds the remaining 43 percent.
Each will contribute a proportionate share of the extra investment.

Anyone fearful that the "Jersey Shore" crew would be tame or rusty during the off-season from season one -- fear not! Snooki showed mid-season form at a Miami bar fight over the weekend.
The tiny Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi threw a drink, food and some awesome slaps on an unknown bar patron at the Ocean's 10 bar in Miami over the weekend.
The incident took place in front of a MTV camera crew and a quick-thinking patron who pulled out the video phone and sent the footage to Radaronline.com. Consider this a season two preview!
The sad state of affairs reportedly started when one patron made some moves on Snooki, and then stole her drink when she expressed little interest in these romantic gestures. A friend of the spurned man then approached set Snooki off.
"I guess he provoked her by wanting an apology and she flipped out," a patron told the website.
This led to the food and drink fight before the patron was encouraged to leave the scene by Snooki's bodyguard and the fierce appearance of pal Jenni "JWOWW" Farley.
It's going to be a long, hot summer.

V8 Supercar driver Karl Reindler was forced to run for his life after his Holden Commodore went up in flames at the beginning of a race in Perth, Australia. A rear end collision with fellow driver Steve Owen punctured the car's fuel cell, causing it to explode in the unbelievable manner you see here. While Reindler's $600,000 Holden was destroyed beyond repair, both drivers involved in the crash managed to escape with relatively minor injuries.

Glymph Properties Buys San Angelo, Texas Houses FAST-
No more Housing Problems!
You've FOUND the Glymph Properties Real Estate Solutions Website. Please read this post in its entirety as we explain how we can help. All of our services are 100% confidential. Our professional staff has experience helping San Angelo homeowners like you find the best solution to your real estate problems. No matter how awful your situation, even if your property is in foreclosure and you have no equity, we guarantee we can help.
We Buy Properties In EVERY State In The US, And At Any Price. Visit www.gpbuyshomes.com to Check Out How Our Process Works. We're Ready To Give You A Fair Offer For Your House. If you want to sell your house… we're ready to give you a fair all-cash offer. Stop the stress of your unwanted property. Let Glymph Properties buy your property now, regardless of condition.
Avoiding foreclosure? Facing divorce? Moving? Upside down in your mortgage? Liens? It doesn't matter whether you live in it, you're renting it out, it's vacant, or not even habitable. We help owners who have inherited an unwanted property, own a vacant house, are behind on payments, owe liens, down sized and can't sell… even if the house needs repairs that you can't pay for… and yes, even if the house is fire damaged or has bad rental tenants. Glymph Properties will buy the house you need to sell!
Basically, if you have a property and need to sell it… we'd like to make you a fair cash offer and close on it any time you're ready to sell. Even if an real estate agent can't sell your property, we can help. Sometimes selling a house through a real estate agent is not for everyone. Think… the additional costs ( repairs, commissions, utilities), added time delays, and the frustration of negotiating with buyers who want as much as they can get from you. And as a bonus, you won't need to clean up and repair the property, finding an agent who you trust and who can deliver on their promise of selling your house quickly, you won't have to sign a contract that binds you to an agent for a certain term, you won't have to deal with the paperwork and the waiting and wondering (and hoping). We'll know very quickly if we can help you, and unlike selling through an agent, you don't have to wait to see if the buyer can get financing… we're ready to buy right now!
All that hassle can add stress, months to the process, and in the end after paying the agent's expensive fees, you may or may not be ahead of the game- you might actually end up paying someone to buy your property.
We work differently at Glymph Properties. When you contact us and submit some property information we can give you a fair all-cash offer on your property within 24 hours… and the best part is… we can close whenever YOU choose to close – it's totally up to you. It doesn't matter what condition the property is in, or even if there are tenants in there that you can't get rid of… don't worry about it. We'll take care of it for you. And, if you need the cash quickly, we can close in as little as 7 days because we buy houses with cash and don't have to rely on traditional bank financing.
In short…
No matter what condition your house is in; no matter what situation or time frame you're facing… Our goal is to help make your life easier and get you out from under the property that's stressing you out… while still paying a fast, fair, and honest price for your house. We will help you find the best solution for your situation. If you are like many people we work with, then you want nothing more than to save your house. At Glymph Properties, helping you figure out your best option is our #1 goal.
If you prefer to get out of the situation with your house, we have the ability to help you completely walk away from the situation. Take a deep breath…We can do it quickly, saving your credit and allowing you to have a fresh start.
You may have already spoken with (or been harassed by) individual real estate investors. While many investors are legitimate, it can be challenging to find one who is honest and ethical. You should always ask an investor who wants to buy your house these questions:
#1 Are there any other options?
If someone only tries to get your house from you, then it is obvious they do not have your best interest in mind.
#2 How much do you charge?
Many investors collect large upfront fees that they keep whether they help you with your situation or not. We try to charge you nothing. If you don't sell we don't make any money. We do everything in our power to minimize costs to get you the best offer. For example, we have no inspection/appraisal options to save you time and money. To develop our best offer we have you or a contractor record a quick cell phone video walk-through and Glymph Properties pays for an evaluation.
#3 How soon can you close?
Many of these people will advertise that they can close the deal quickly, but make sure they can actually do what they promise. Quick closings are all about the money. There are lenders fees, buyers fees, repair fees to name a few. The more of a discount you're willing to accept the faster anyone can close. If you offered a big enough discount your local neighborhood squirrel could close quickly. At Glymph Properties we not only want to close quickly, but we want to close with you being satisfied with your offer. You want your property gone; we can get you under contract within minutes with a buy or lease option.
#4 Can you stop foreclosure?
Most individual real estate investors cannot help someone who is already behind in payments and in the foreclosure process. We can however help to avoid foreclosure, ruining your credit and setting you back decades. We can help you to walk away unscathed.
#5 Can you work with my lender?
Investors who are just out to get your house usually do not have the approval, or the ability, to work directly with your lender to help your situation.
If you would like to hear more about finding a solution, we would be happy to talk to you about your options.
Whatever you decide to do about your situation, it is very important that you do it quickly. The longer the problem goes unsolved, the more difficult things become.
Let me be 100% transparent. At Glymph Properties we want to be fair to you, fair to us if we buy, and if we can't make you happy, fair to any prospective buyers or renters we get for you. That's right, even if we can't agree on a price for Glymph Properties to purchase your property we are still absolutely willing help find you a buyer or tenant to help your situation. We do our best to give you the highest offer possible, but we must take into consideration the market value of your home, the repairs needed, the number of motivated buyers, buyer fees, and the discounts expected by motivated buyers looking to close quickly. We want to help. Together we can find a solution.
We're happy to help you find answers to your toughest questions about your San Angelo real estate, so please feel free to call us at 888-509-6267 Ext 4 and chat with us anytime.

The paper presents some approximation methods for the Boltzmann equation. In the first part fully implicit discretization techniques for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation are investigated. The implicit equation is solved using an iteration process. It is shown that the iteration converges to the correct solution for the moments of the distribution function as long as the mass conservation is strictly fulfilled. For a simple model Boltzmann equation some unexpected features of the implicit scheme and the corresponding iteration process are clarified. In the second part a new iteration algorithm is proposed which should be used for the stationary Boltzmann equation. The realization of the method is very similar to the standard splitting algorithms except some new stochastic elements.
Numerical Simulation of the Stationary One-Dimensional Boltzmann Equation by Particle Methods (1995)
The paper presents a numerical simulation technique - based on the well-known particle methods - for the stationary, one-dimensional Boltzmann equation for Maxwellian molecules. In contrast to the standard splitting methods, where one works with the instationary equation, the current approach simulates the direct solution of the stationary problem. The model problem investigated is the heat transfer between two parallel plates in the rarefied gas regime. An iteration process is introduced which leads to the stationary solution of the exact - space discretized - Boltzmann equation, in the sense of weak convergence.

If $A$ is an $n\times n$ matrix over a field, and $A^{k} = I$, with $k$ the least positive integer such that this occurs, then must there be some vector $v$ such that $\{v,Av,A^{2}v,\dots,A^{k-1}v\}$ has $k$ distinct elements in it? In other words:
Must every matrix of finite multiplicative order have a regular orbit?
If A has prime power order, $k = p^{m}$, then $A^{p^{m-1}}-I$ is nonzero, so its kernel is proper, and everything outside of that kernel is a vector in a regular orbit. Over a finite field of size $q$, the index of a proper subspace is at least $q$, so we can even just choose (on average) $q$ random vectors to find one in a regular orbit. Over an infinite field, the same idea roughly says any random vector should work, as long as one can make some sort of "uniformly" distributed choice.
If $A$ has order a product of two prime powers, then I am assured this is true by a (special case) of an exercise in Isaacs's Finite Group Theory. I cannot imagine an argument that does not work for arbitrary orders $k$, but I also cannot find a convincing proof even for the product of two prime powers. The sum of vectors in regular orbits of the $p$ - parts of $A$ need not themselves be in regular orbits of $A$. Every matrix (over a finite field) I've tried has a regular orbit.
Assuming this is easy, how does one handle the case where $A$ is an automorphism of a finite group $G$, and the order of $A$ is a product of two prime powers? In other words:
Prove every automorphism of order $p^{a}q^{b}$ of a finite group has a regular orbit.
Assuming the first question's answer is "yes", then what goes wrong for arbitrary orders? Isaacs's book gives an example where the general automorphism can fail to have a regular orbit, but it is impossible to compare this until I have at least some idea of why the two-prime case does work.
A related version of this question is: regular orbits are quite important in permutation and (finite) matrix groups and are a standard technique in several important (solved and unsolved) problems in modular representation theory.
Is there sort of a gentle introduction that puts these techniques in context?
For any individual paper is clear that what they say works, but my picture of this area is incredibly disjointed and I suspect that is not true for everyone. For instance Khukhro has an excellent book on automorphisms of p-groups with few fixed points, and many finite group theory texts have chapters on fixed-point-free automorphisms and the consequences for the group structure of the group being acted upon. However, I haven't found any "textbook" exposition of regular orbits yet.
