BALTIMORE—UMBC sophomore goalie Lauren Kadet(Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) recorded a career high 12 saves, but it was not enough, as the UMBC women's soccer team (0-9-1, 0-1-0 AE) fell to Hartford (8-0-2, 1-0-0 AE) by a score of 3-0 in the America East Conference opener for both teams.
The Hawks turned up the pressure early, taking six shots in the first seven minutes of action, but Kadet recorded four saves in that span. But Hartford got one past Kadet in the 16th minute when forward Mary Beth Hamilton lofted a shot from 25 yards out that found the upper-right corner of the net.
Hartford took the 1-0 lead into halftime but made it 2-0 in the 61st minute when, after a series of passes, forward Amelia Pereira dodged a defender in front of the net and sent the ball past Kadet. Hamilton and forward Caitlin Alves were each credited with assists.
Then, just under 10 minutes later, Alves sent a pass from the goal line to forward Arielle Aikens, whose shot hit the crossbar. But Aikens collected her own rebound and knocked it into the top-left corner for the 3-0 lead.
The Retrievers had several good opportunities. Early in the 12th minute, freshman midfielder Paige Preston (Freehold, N.J./Freehold) set up junior forward Rachel McKee (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron), but McKee's shot went just wide. Late in the game, sophomore forward Amy Savage (Ottawa, Ontario/Sir Wilfrid Laurier) and sophomore back Stephanie Smith (Severna Park, Md./Archbishop Spalding) each forced Hartford goalie Erin Quinlan to make a diving stop.
Nine of Kadet's 12 saves came in the first half. The Retrievers' America East Player of the Game, she now has 158 saves in her career, moving into eighth place all-time at UMBC. Quinlan finished with seven saves in the game.
Hartford outshot UMBC, 26-10, including 15-4 in the first half, and held a 9-1 advantage in corner kicks. McKee took a team-high three shots for the Retrievers, while Hamilton, who was named the Hawks' Player of the Game, took a game-high nine shots and finished with three points on a goal and an assist.
The Retrievers return to action on Thursday, Sept. 28, when they visit America East rival Stony Brook.

Washington (CNN) – The Republican National Committee is offering the United States government a check to pay for guards at the National World War II Memorial, chairman Reince Priebus announced Wednesday.
"We're willing to pay the bill," said Priebus, who was speaking to reporters as he stood in front of a fence at the memorial.
The memorial had been the site of a dramatic encounter Tuesday between visiting World War II veterans and a fence erected to keep visitors out. The National Parks Service argued the government shutdown left them with no personnel to guard and maintain the open air memorial.
According to Priebus, the RNC is willing to pay for five guards who would watch over the memorial, what the party committee estimated to be a $150,000 expenditure for 30 days, Priebus said.
Priebus also invited the Democratic National Committee to help pay for the proposed security at the memorial.
The memorial fence has become a flashpoint in the shutdown debate, with Democrats blaming Republican intransigence for forcing all national parks, including the memorial on the National Mall, to close down.
Progress? Obama invites congressional leaders for talks on shutdown
The DNC quickly responded to the Republican proposal by calling it a "stunt."
"We've already been working on a plan to open the Memorial - and the entire government - after the GOP caused them to close. It's called a clean funding resolution and it sounds like the votes are there if the Speaker would just call for a vote," DNC Communications Director Mo Elleithee said in a statement.
"It would save the economy a lot of money and get the Memorial and government open a whole lot faster. I think he probably has Speaker
Cruz Boehner's number somewhere, and I'll bet veterans would appreciate it a whole lot more than his silly stunt."
Democrats have accused Boehner of weak leadership, cowtowing to tea party Republicans led in part by Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.
Republicans in turn have blasted President Barack Obama's administration for closing off open air memorials that do not have staff 24/7, but that visitors can walk up to any hour of the day.
Priebus accused the administration of wantonly keeping out the World War II veterans.
"It was the Obama administration's choice to block this memorial," Priebus said.
"The president himself promised to veto legislation that would keep our monuments open," he said, in reference to the piecemeal funding measures introduced yesterday in the GOP-dominated House of Representatives. Those measures, which would have funded national parks, veterans' benefits and the Washington, D.C. local government, failed to get the two-thirds majority they needed to pass Tuesday.
Obama has promised to veto any piecemeal funding legislation and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said the approach was not serious. Senate Democrats have managed to hold firm against anything other than a "clean" funding resolution that provides money for the entire government, including Obamacare.
Reid gets fiery over question about shutdown's effect on clinical trials for kids
Priebus said donors to the RNC would be "happy" to fund guards for the memorial.
"Our donors have had it with a stubborn Democratic party who've been offered one deal after the next by the Republicans in the House," Priebus said.
Priebus charged that Democrats "don't want to keep the parks open," he said. "They want to make it painful."
This White House tour brought to you by: Donald Trump
For now, it appears that the World War II and other memorials will remain closed, albeit with far less effort made at keeping people out.
"Without staff or funding to ensure the safety of visitors, the security of the memorials, and the continued operation and maintenance of park facilities, the memorials on the National Mall – just like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon – are closed," National Park Service Spokeswoman Carol Johnson said in a statement.
"The Honor Flights are being granted access to the WWII memorial to conduct First Amendment activities in accordance with National Park Service regulations applicable to the National Mall and Memorial Parks."
Honor Flights is a non-profit organization that provides free transportation to aging military veterans who want to visit the World War Two Memorial.
The DNC would have made the same offer but, oooooops, they're out of money.
Finally the Koch brothers money being used for something positive......of course this does not change the fact that the gop is hurting America, and that more than 8 million eligible Americans are NOT getting health care they should get under the Affordable Care Act because republicons are blocking Medicaid funding in their states.
Has Reince Prieus ever showed his birth certificate? He doesn't seem to be a real American.
rinced peenus idea of offering deals is like my kid asking if she can have candy for breakfast. Then cake, ice cream, pie, cookies...........all her offers are the same thing, and she knows full well the answer before she even asks.
Ted Cruz is there for one term...think i'd steer clear of him...
Are these the same Republicans who whined and cried about the poor school children who could no longer tour the White House 3 months ago? Who have now cut off funding to children's programs like WIC? Children who may now go hungry? I's so glad the GOP has it priorities in order.
BOTTOM LINE: Democrats share equal (if not more) blame for the shutdown!!! I really hope the Américan populace don't easily forget this!
Ummm. No they don't. Not this time. John Boehner can stop this any time he wants. He has the bipartisan votes needed (including nearly all of the Democrats) to end the shutdown. Ted Cruz is holding Boehner under his vest (so to speak) to gain more control within the House. Did I mention Cruz is a Senator ... not a Representative. How he managed to get control over Boehner is rather interesting. And where is the maverick when you most need him, eh?
I don't care what republicans say,.....They did this, they caused the shutdown, they all knew this was going to happen
I implore all concerned both in the Republican and the Democrats to bury their hatchets and let not only the US but also the entire world move forward
Sorry that's NOT going to happen.
We will be in sequestration mode -if we get past this shutdown- until THIS President is no longer President.
They swore and made it their ONLY objective to make him a one-term President January 20th, 2009.
They didn't accomplish that so they are going to keep us in hostage mode one way or another until 2016.
Too bad because this is really, really sad.
Did anyone else do the math....150k for 5 guards for 30 days?

The Course
The 2,000-meter course for Harvard and Radcliffe's home races begins in the Charles River Basin, roughly 100 meters upstream from the Longfellow Bridge and continues upstream until to the finish line just downstream of the Hyatt Regency Cambridge. Popular spectator viewing areas include the finish line in front of the Hyatt and the Harvard Bridge (Massachusetts Avenue) at the course's midpoint.
Last Weekend
Harvard took five races and the Adams Cup from Navy and Penn. The Crimson varsity finished four seconds ahead of the runner-up Midshipmen to claim the trophy for the 12th straight year. The fourth varsity eight beat Navy by two seconds, while the second varsity, third varsity and freshman eights all won by six seconds or more.
Harvard has entered boats in 18 races within its four regattas this spring and has won each of those events. The Crimson last lost a dual event in last year's Adams Cup regatta on the Charles River, when Navy's second freshman eight finished first. Harvard has won 25 straight events within its dual regattas since then.
The Crimson varsity eight has defeated 11 straight dual opponents and 26 of its last 27. The Harvard freshman eight has defeated 33 consecutive dual opponents since falling to Yale to close the 2006 season.
History Lesson
The Harvard varsity built an open-water lead in the second 500 meters and went on to a six-second win against Northeastern last season. It was the Crimson's 19th win, and 13th straight, in the 22-year history of the Smith Cup. Harvard's second varsity and freshman eights were victorious in the other two races of the morning.

Authenticity is everything in our eyes! Are you tired of trawling through ebay trying to work out what's real and what's not? A flashy COA and a promise of authenticity, is that good enough? We don't think so.

We travel around the World to obtain our signatures "in person" & only as this is the only way we can absolutely guarantee that the signature you buy is genuine....ask us when and were an autograph was obtained and we can tell you. We take our autographs very seriously as most honorable sellers do and are often happy to talk openly about our favorite topic.We will however refuse to act as judge and jury over other dealers signatures so please don't ask us to authenticate products.
We are not the cheapest in the business but can guarantee that all our autographed football shirts and photos are 100% authentic!

We recognized that the only way to distinguish the honorable sellers from the bogus ones is with the help of photographic proof. So many football memorabilia dealers (Especially on ebay) have all these wonderful products but never prove they are real.

BOULDER, CO - July 13, 2010
Geolocation tools -- applications that broadcast the physical location of consumers when they're online -- are the latest innovation in social media. Twitter recently rolled out its location-based features, and Facebook is expected to follow suit. But according to new research commissioned by Webroot, a leading provider of Internet security for the consumer, enterprise and SMB markets, the growing popularity of these applications does not come without concerns.
Webroot surveyed more than 1,500 social network users who own geolocation-ready mobile devices and found that although 39% indicated to using geolocation on their mobile devices, many expressed concerns over security and privacy. In addition, a surprising number engaged in behaviors that could put themselves and their private information at risk. Among the key findings:
- More than half (55 percent) of those that use geolocation tools are worried about their loss of privacy.
- Nearly half (45 percent) are very concerned about letting potential burglars know when they're away from home.
- Twenty-nine percent have shared their geolocation with people other than their friends.
- One in nine used a location-based tool to meet a stranger (digitally or in person).
As location-based applications continue to gain popularity, we should all be increasingly aware of what cyber-criminals can do with the huge amount of personal data that is being shared by everyone on the Web," said Jeff Horne, Director of Threat Research at Webroot. "People often get excited about the new features available on social networks and forget about the power of the Internet and the amount of valuable information they give away through the simple act of updating their status and 'checking-in' at their current location.
Summary of additional findings:
The Webroot survey uncovered that a significant number of people have fallen prey to criminals who target social network users for attack:
- Nearly a quarter of respondents (22.4 percent) were victims of a phishing attempt to steal their social network password.
- About one in six (16 percent) reported a malware infection in the past year that originated from a social networking site.
- One in nine reported at least one of their social network accounts had been compromised or hijacked.
Yet even in the face of these risks, many consumers have still developed some bad habits:
- Nearly one third (31 percent) accepted a friend request from a stranger.
- A majority (76 percent) clicked a link sent or posted by a friend on a social network site.
Age and gender seem to play a role in levels of concern with the location-based tools:
- 27 percent of young adult males (aged 18 to 29) share a location with friends daily, and 10 percent check in daily when they arrive at a location
- Women are more worried about the risks associated with geolocation tools; 49 percent are highly concerned about letting a stalker know where they are, whereas only 32 percent of men expressed concern.
- Older mobile device owners (40 and up) are more concerned about the possible risks compared to 18- to 39-year-olds.
The primary motivations for using geolocation applications are to get informed (67 percent) and to meet up with friends (43 percent). Other top uses of geolocation tools include;
- 13.9 percent do it to meet new people
- 8.7 percent say they use these tools for competitive games
What Can Users Do?
To help consumers understand and protect themselves from the implications of sharing information via location-based applications, Webroot has provided the following tips as a guideline for safer social networking:
Be aware of your Smartphone settings - To keep your personal whereabouts private, turn off the "locate me" feature on your iPhone, or the GPS photo-tagging feature found on most Smartphones. When enabled, this feature allows your phone to store GPS data within your pictures. Thus every time you take a picture and upload it to a social network or other Web site, the photo contains GPS data that can pinpoint your location.
Never post anything you wouldn't want the world to see - Even with privacy settings enabled, social network sites themselves make mistakes and sometimes accidentally make information marked private available to anyone. As a rule of thumb, only post photos or messages that you wouldn't mind your boss, parent, or any stranger to see or read.
Make personal information private - Protect yourself by updating privacy settings on your profile to restrict or omit access to any personal data. Users of popular geolocation services that allow you to share where you are should be especially careful to disclose your location only to specific people, and to nobody else.
Don't be the first to click a link - When a friend posts a link to a Web site on their profile or wall, and you've never been to that Web site before, wait a few hours before you click. Being the first to follow a link can lead to being the next victim of a social network worm.
Read between the lines - Familiarize yourself with the social networks' privacy options to ensure you're taking advantage of any enhanced security features.
Be exclusive - Only accept friend requests, emails and site links from people you know. Even then, be selective about who you "friend" and what you open or click, especially from people you don't know.
About the Research
Between June 7, 2010, and June 8, 2010, Webroot sponsored an online survey of Internet users in the United States and the United Kingdom. The panel management company e-Rewards invited panel members who own a mobile Internet device, use geolocation features on one or more mobile devices, and have a social network profile that they access monthly or more often to participate in the study. With a total of 1,645 respondents, the margin of error is ±2.4 percentage points.

Last-Minute Valentine's Day Lingerie You Can Order Online and Receive by February 14
I don't own a ton of lingerie?a fact I tend to forget about myself, because it never really comes up. I'm in a relationship, so sex is rarely an occasion. And it didn't really come up when I wasn't in a monogamous situation, either; it's not like someone you meet at a bar is expecting a corset under your going-out look. Still, Valentine's Day never fails to remind me of my dearth of lingerie, because it actually does feel like a lingerie-worthy occasion. Plus, there's a ton of adorable Valentine's Day lingerie just waiting to be snapped up. Why not give it a go"
This brings me to part two of my dilemma: I rarely discover that maybe, just maybe, I'd like to stock up on Valentine's Day lingerie until it's, uh, too late to do so. February 14 is officially right around the corner, and I don't care enough to make a last-minute trip to the mall afte rwork; my interest in lingerie extends to my ability to shop it online and get it delivered to my doorstep. But shipping policies are a thing, and there's no point in ordering Valentine's Day lingerie now if it's not actually going to arrive in time for Valentine's Day. But folks, I've got some great news: There are a handful of online retailers that have cute, affordable Valentine's Day lingerie?and awesome shipping policies. I'm talking, free 2-day shipping situations out the wazoo. So if you, too, decide it might ...

An urgent warning has been issued to Yorkshire asthma fever sufferers after experts predicted a risk of the potentially deadly 'thunder fever' over the coming days.
READ: How to spot if your baby is developing hay fever - and how to relieve it
There will be a risk of what is known as 'thunder fever', a potentially deadly cocktail of a combination of heavy thunderstorms and a high pollen count.
It is reported that last year the coming together of the two, which has been coined 'thunder fever', killed nine people in Melbourne, Australia.
READ: Drinking gin and tonic could help reduce hay fever symptoms
Heavy thunderstorms have been predicted over the UK from Saturday to Monday and Yorkshire has been warned of a high pollen count this weekend
How to relieve hay fever symptoms
With the high pollen count that is forecast for this weekend, hay fever sufferers will also find the weather conditions difficult.
Here are some top tips for keeping your symptoms down to a minimum.
- Keep windows closed when at home and overnight. Most pollen is released in the early morning and falls to ground level in the evenings when the air cools.
- When outdoors, wear sunglasses to keep pollen out of your eyes. Hay fever sufferers can experience itchy eyes when coming into contact with pollen spores. It is recommended that for any outdoor tasks, such as gardening, hay fever sufferers should wear a mask.
- Avoid drying your clothes outside when pollen counts are high. If you do, shake items before bringing them inside.
- Keep car windows closed when driving and fit a pollen filter to reduce the impact of pollen spores.
What is a high pollen count - and how do you relieve hay fever symptoms?
- When indoors, there are a number of useful tips to reduce the impact of hay fever symptoms such as: vacuuming regularly, avoid bringing fresh flowers indoors, and be aware that pets can bring pollen in on their fur.
- Don't allow smoking in the house as this will irritate the lining of your nose, eyes, throat and airways, making your hay fever symptoms worse.
- After being outside, shower and wash your hair to remove pollen.

BGTG 37 - September 25, 2005 - Mark's Wargaming Credentials
Although this podcast will never be about wargames in a substantial way, I still play the occasional wargame and still consider myself a wargamer. Just an infrequent one. :-) Even though I don't play them so often, my interest in military history remains (all history, really). After hearing more about wargames on other podcasts, reading some Consimworld again, and generally experiencing my periodic resurgent interest in wargaming, I figured it was time to talk about them on Boardgames To Go.
This show is sort of a theme show, then . . . a general discussion of my own history with and interest in wargames. My preferences are for the lightest (or shortest, more accurately) wargames that even boardgamers might consider.
Wargame sites: Web-grognards, Consimworld, Alam Emrich's Introduction to Wargaming
Quick & Fun Wargames (3 hours or less) thread
Military History magazine
Strategy & Tactics magazine (Battle for Germany, World War One)
Vae Victis magazine (French)
Against the Odds magazine (which I haven't seen & forgot to mention!)
Smithsonian series (Gettysburg, Battle of the Bulge, D-Day, Midway, Guadalcanal, Mustangs)
Attacktix games (Victory at Waterloo, 8th Army, Arnhem Bridge, Battle for Normandy, etc.)

JAMconsult necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 125 diseños de 35 diseñadores freelance.
We have been delighted by the response to our brief and have been inspired by your creativity and ideas. It was very tough to reduce the number of entries from over 100 great interpretations of the brief to a list we felt resonated with our values, positioning and focus.
Reducing the list down to three designers who created 5 star awards was even more challenging. We chose four. Congratulations to our final short list of 5 star designers:
- dmelendez10 for design #13 #12
- miguelandrade for designs #40 #17 #16
- falconrebel #98 #83
- babitaverma #22 #8
We will be in touch with each of you for some final comments on your designs before we award the prize. Good luck!
To recap the brief summary: We help businesses and people shine using proven communication techniques. We need a design that reflects the power of communication and our core values of focus, integrity, curiosity, excellence, and playful professionalism.
The logo will run though all our communications impressions, from website to prospect gifts to business cards. When someone is given a business card, for example, we want them to respond "that looks really exciting, where did the inspiration come for that?" That inspiration could be you! : )
JAMconsult (see also http://www.jamconsult.org)
brief backGROUND: JAMconsult is a business committed to helping others help themselves.
Our vision is to make a significant contribution to the quantity and quality of business and people profit.
Our markets are global. Our people are local.
Our ambition is to be the organisation most valued by organisations that value presentations excellence, the power of words and relationship building.
We want this design to support our marketing efforts and awareness building which will span face to face networking at conferences ie business cards, event banners, websites, trade magazine advertising
Design guidelines:
* a prominent color should be strong yellow or orange. Yellow is our color of positive, logical thinking (refer to Edward De Bono's 6 hats of thinking)
* Other colors that are meaningful: - red or purple (color of passion/focus/emotions) - green (color of creativity, curiosity, options, alternatives) - blue (color of logical overview) - black and white check (balance of power & protection, facts and figures, possibly use via partial chess board/checker board pattern to denote start or finish line) - part of the logo should try to incorporate a camera on a tripod. This can be interpreted as widely as you like, for example the o in JAMconsult may morph into an eye drop which could also form part of the camera eye (minus the 3 legs which are not mandatory, it is up to your imagination & interpretation). If you believe the camera and/or tripod should be ommitted and you feel passionately enough about this, then leave it out.
* The design should be clean, simple, effective and playfully professional. Nothing too trendy please - a dignified approach is desired.
* Artwork with supporting colors/pantone color codes for business cards and website primarily. The design will also need to be adapted for stationery, and JAMpacks (prospect gift packs) at a later date. This will be briefed as a separate project.
* Arial font preferred (no italics) but not mandatory (eg JAM in arial bold. consult in arial)
* Prefer JAM to be in red and consult to be in black or grey.
* The background color could be predominently yellow, or predominently white (or black with reverse white letters) with a splash of solid yellow in the shape of your design.
* The yellow does not have to be mellow yellow if you feel another type of yellow better contrasts with the colour mix you have selected eg orange
* Keep in mind the logo will need to be faxed or photocopied from time to time so the colors should contrast effectively
We are keeping an open mind. Be as creative as you like within the guidelines (rather than rules) above. If you have any questions or require clarification you can contact us easily on firstname.lastname@example.com

2012 Hospice du Rhone Seminar – The Wines of d'Arenberg
Chester Osborn is a walking encyclopedia. The Australian wine producer manages to keep ALL of the data for 60 different wines he makes each year, in his head! The sheer number of vineyards would tax most people's faculties. And, these are wines of no small breeding. Most of the vineyards are 60+ years old.
Chester comes by all of this naturally. He is the 4th generation of his family in the wine business, with d'Arenberg's first vintage coming in 1928. Born in 1962, he was raised on the family property where father d'Arry Osborn had begun producing wines with the red stripe label in 1959. During Chester's initial years of schooling he worked in the vineyards and the cellar floor during school holidays. In 1980 Chester commenced his Oenology degree at Roseworthy Agricultural College.
In 1983, Chester graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Sciences in Oenology and took over the reins as Chief Wine maker at d'Arenberg, rejuvenating the 70 year old cellars and 19th Century vineyards as well as overseeing all aspects of wine making, viticulture and marketing. In 1984 he took leave from the winery and spent most of the year undertaking a viticultural and oenological tour of France, Italy, Germany and Spain. Chester Osborn has received masses of critical acclaim for his wine making talents. Most recently he was recognized as The Red Wine maker of the Year at the 2007 Japan International Wine Competition.
Join us as we hear from indefatigable Chester Osborn, who relishes the d'Arenberg goal as the "Art of Being Different."

ST. LOUIS — Brett Favre dismissed the possibility of returning to the NFL with St. Louis, telling Washington sports station WSPZ-AM he doesn't feel physically able to compete and expressing fear that he has been affected by concussions.
"It's flattering, but you know there's no way I'm going to do that," Favre said.
Rams coach Jeff Fisher declined to address reports he tried to lure the quarterback out of retirement to replace the injured Sam Bradford.
Fisher changed the subject after practice, then said "Nice try" when asked whether the 44-year-old Favre could be ready to play. Bradford is out for the season with a knee injury.
"I don't remember my daughter playing soccer, playing youth soccer, one summer," Favre told WSPZ. "I don't remember that. I got a pretty good memory, and I have a tendency like we all do to say, 'Where are my glasses?' and they're on your head. This was pretty shocking to me that I couldn't remember my daughter playing youth soccer, just one summer, I think. I remember her playing basketball, I remember her playing volleyball, so I kind of think maybe she only played a game or two. I think she played eight. So that's a little bit scary to me. For the first time in 44 years, that put a little fear in me. …
"I think after 20 years, God only knows the toll."
Fisher said he wouldn't discuss players contacted after Bradford tore his left ACL on Sunday at Carolina, although he confirmed Tyler Thigpen worked out.
"I don't feel any need to disclose information after the process," Fisher said. "That's how we are. I'll be happy to talk about Thigpen, and the two that we signed."

Mistaken Lessons From 2008's Financial Crisis
It's been five years since the Panic of 2008. But if you've been investing with a foxhole mentality, you've probably forgotten why you should be investing in the first place, Chuck Jaffe says. Photo: Getty Images.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
I ... I ... in wides years since the panic of two thousand and eight ... for most ordinary investors ... spent five years since there are really buying stocks is well but have you been investing with a Fox hole mentality ... Prada forgotten why it'll get in the stock market the first place ... that is what MarketWatch's Chuck Jaffe is here to talk about today ... the ... checkout guy I've I've noticed a Fox hole mentality the last five years ... people haven't yet I mean it's ... been so boring when you talk to ... money managers and painful to work with consumers retail invests Durer's ... their thought about how scared folks are ... and the truth is ... you can always find a reason to talk yourself out of investing it's it's pretty easy I mean he'd ... yell hey this year on or invest because ... well we just had the crash and its euro invest because ... well you've got these concerns over Europe are now you can say they ... the markets ... too high it's moved up without me and we got his concerns about Syria or what can happen with tapering you can always find a reason I knew you could look in my office in the other direction there's a big chart that shows the market for like the last eighteen eighty five years there's always little data points on it and each one of them virtually every single one on there over eighty plus years ... you could say hey ... that's the reason not to invest ... the reason not to invest ... but over eighty five years ... the confirmable Arkansas might mess ... it is so flat out the bombs in a note you need to participate ... but over the last thirty years some ideas to levels offered huge there are gigantic ... and your average investor and you lost money in two thousand and two thousand and eight ... you lost money it's one thing for traders to lose money in the history again for the investor you lose that money is gone ... yes but let's go the other way ... you decided in two thousand you wanted to get out of the stock market and you're going to rely on your house ... to be your nest egg than your plan was hey ... I'm gonna retire somewhere around two thousand ninety thousand ten ... all move to a smaller home and I'll use my house is the way to make my ... portfolio ... well you got a good time and on the financial crisis is well and congratulations you don't lose a penny and stock market in your house to dislike most in this country ... it ... took a significant hit in value and now he needed the solid union have that either so it's not like you can say ... oh well ... Gee I can avoid this we must remember to that ... if you got to two thousand while you felt every penny of the last the truth is that in the nineteen nineties and as most folks would be open to getting your they were sent ten percent ... never getting twenty ... so ... yes ... they lost all of their peak but they were still in in any case is way ahead of the game ... so it's on how you wanna look out if you're gonna insist on looking at the glasses being half empty begin applying lots of reasons to not to invest in all of them ... I ... what one getting one it's too late and that's a problem the Tokyo the idea that ... I know as soon as I go fully in ... this thing is gonna turn on me I know I'm a retail investor we had terrible timing ... as soon as I get involved I know this isn't a crash on ... you know Paul I spoke to the stock market yesterday and actually told me it was waiting specifically for you to invest ... in a minute that you know it and ... it's straight to the toilet ... you know the truth is timing is coincidental the market does not actually know when you're gonna need to take money out to pay for all wedding and college tuitions ... or your own retirement ... and the point of that is ... that you could always do that I mean ... if you had been fortunate enough ... to put your money in right ... at the ... bottom into thousandnine when putting it in because it's an area I know that the market's going when I get in the markets can ago finally These and Questalot has that doesn't work and if that were theoretically true working both ways ... is people wanting to make more things that ... I get it you can watch lotsa commercials that'll tell you that no matter how use it for your TV this weekend ... you can influence the outcome of your favorite NFL team by the Robin your ear or whatever but that's the stock market equivalent of ... that you put your money in ... it's not can make the market do anything ... yet he may have lousy timing ... but your timing will be irrelevant if he stressed that I ran out long enough ... and you're not retiring tomorrow that I know I wear

Hey guys! Today I am going to show you how to draw a chibi Lorita Gothic girl step by step. Since this is a chibi style, it shouldn't be that hard to draw. Lorita Gothic – known as Black Lorita in Chinese, is a more dark and creepy version of a Lorita. I have to say that the first time I've seen the Lorita girls, I was a bit freaked out, I have to admit that I thought they were kind of kinky in some ways, maybe because of the maid apron. But after I saw a Japanese movie – Kamikase Girl, I started to think Lorita is a pretty interesting sub culture. (If you have not seen the movie yet, and if you love Japanese manga, you have to check it out!) During comic conventions seasons, we used to see Loritas everywhere, and that was pretty interesting. Though in Taiwan, a lot of people associate Lorita with punk rock, which I am not particularly fond of. I think they are a fascinating sub culture, but I don't believe that they have anything to do with punk rock what so ever! But that's just my little opinion. Well I hope you all have a good time drawing with me today, and I will do a regular Lorita tutorial in the future as well. So stay tune and I will see you all in my next tutorial!

One upon a time, the American dream entailed getting a job, getting married, buying a house with a nice white picket fence, and saving up for retirement. All of these goals were part of a bigger vision — to enjoy the golden years without any financial stress. Now, with increasing education costs, many of today's single parents are putting a greater emphasis on saving up for their children's college education rather than their own retirement, a new Allianz study finds.
According to the LoveFamilyMoney study, single parents prioritize college savings over retirement, causing them some stress. The study asked the participants what their motivation was for developing a future financial plan. Forty-five percent of the single-family respondents said that they were "saving for my kids' education," 26% of the "modern" families and 39% of the "traditional" families said the same.
"Single parents are forced to solve the retirement equation by themselves, which places tremendous pressure on their ability to find the right balance between saving for their children's college expenses and saving for their own future," said Allianz Life Vice President of Consumer Insights Katie Libbe. "Because they are on their own, single parents often lack the flexibility to address multiple goals, and therefore tend to have a more narrow focus on their savings priorities."
The full LoveFamilyMoney set of studies polled more than 4,500 Americans and identified six different "modern" family structures: 1) multigenerational Families, where three or more generations lived in the same household. 2) single-parent families, one unmarried adult with a child under 18; 3) same-sex families; 4) blended families, where children from previous relationships are living with their parent and step-parent; 5) older parents with young children families, this includes parents who are 40+ and have a child five years old or younger; 6) boomerang families, with a child 21 to 35 who has left the home and then returned.
(Traditional families were defined as married, heterosexual couples with at least one child. They made up less than 20% of families in the study.)
Study respondents had at least $50,000 average annual income for each category identified. The single-parent cohort averaged nearly $85,000, and only an average of 6% of their income was derived from child support — 64% received no child support at all. This data incorporates both men and women.
In the U.S. at large, there are approximately 8.6 million single moms, according to Pew data from 2011 — and 2.6 million single fathers. The national median for single-mother families is $23,000; fathers have a higher income and are less likely to be living at the poverty line.
Despite the high average income in the study group, there are still no real savings in the retirement funds of many single parents. One reason could be the social pressure to overcompensate when providing for their children. Forty-five percent of single-parent families believe that is the parent's responsibility to help their children become financially stable, Allianz found.
"While single parents have several options to help pay college expenses – including grants, scholarships, and student loans – they're solely responsible for their own retirement savings," added Libbe. "Depleting their nest egg to fund education costs can be dangerous. To avoid sacrificing retirement savings, a good plan may be to explore college saving and borrowing options first, then determine how those tactics fit with their larger savings strategy."

Summer lingers on here in eastern Virginia. We just returned from a float fishing trip on the upper James River, in the mountainous western part of the state, testing gear and demonstrating the value of hammocks on rocky river island camps. Sandy beaches are rare in eastern rock carved river areas and hammocks really shine. Perhaps the greatest value demonstrated by the Bear Mountain Bridge Hammock is the supported chair back sitting. After 6-8 hours in a canoe with no back support sitting back in the hammock is absolute pleasure. Sure you can carry a folding chair in a canoe, but having less to lash down and being three pounds lighter, all translates to less stowage issues and a more nimble vessel.
Last weekend also reminded me of another tarp benefit in hot muggy weather, the ability to channel cooling breeze over the hammock, or even a ground camper. The river was running south west. I selected trees as close to the river as possible and with a SW-NW orientation, with as little underbrush between the river and my site (just the opposite of selecting a sheltered site in bad weather).The open water and westerly breezes inflated the west side of my tarp which was deployed parallel with the ground and a full 6 foot high while the inland side of the tarp pitched steeply just out board of the hammock turned these pleasant breezes on me…Nice, cool and bug free! Try it next time.

Matava Resort is a small and intimate getaway designed to blend in with its natural environment. Traditional thatched Fijian bures nestled on the edge of the rainforest look out over the Pacific ocean and Great Astrolabe barrier reef.
It is the resort's policy to minimise our impact on the environment and to promote and support ecologically sound conservation measures in our community.
We do do this in a number of ways:
Solar Power
All lighting in the Oceanview and Honeymoon bure accommodation and the main bure is solar powered. The resort office also derives all its power from solar energy.
The resort does not operate any main generators, only a small emergency back-up generator for the office should the need arise.
Solar Hot Water
All accommodation is supplied with hot water derived from solar energy.
Organic Garden
We minimise the need to import vegetables with associated transportation carbon emissions by maintaining a large organic garden in the resort grounds.
In addition, we supply local village farmers with seeds and then purchase the fruit and vegetables from them. Many fruit trees such as banana and papaya are scattered through out the grounds.
Partnering with local community bee keepers and splitting the honey 50/50 we have pioneered private/community bee keeping on Kadava with our bee hives.
Both for pollination and honey collection this is a boon in the organic farm and a delicious treat at the breakfast table.
Waste Management
All rubbish is sorted. Food waste is fed to local pigs. We compost as much waste as possible for the organic farm.
Plastic and glass bottles are recycled, as are aluminium cans.
Batteries and empty aerosol cans are impossible for us to dispose of and we request that guests take these with them to their home country where suitable methods of disposal are available.
Land Management
We leave areas of land around the resort uncultivated to encourage the growth of native wild flowers and ferns.
Part of the resort foreshore is naturally a mangrove shoreline and has been left untouched. Mangroves prevent erosion and provide sanctuary to juvenile fish.
No insecticides or herbicides are used on the property.
Any plants found around the resort are native to Kadavu or already found on the island. No foreign plant species are brought in to the island
All resort building structures are built using locally grown pine or hardwoods planted for that purpose.
They are then finished using traditional methods of thatching and palm weaving. We do not use local wild hardwood trees for lumber.
All grey water is piped out to rubble drains for flowers and plants. Bures are designed and orientated to benefit from shade and sea breezes for cooling.
The primary reason for the location of Matava Resort is the abundance of natural spring water. During the drought of 2003, it was one of only two locations on the South of Kadavu island that still had a water supply.
The water is naturally filtered through the limestone and is of excellent quality. Nevertheless, rainwater is still collected at certain locations and used to supply the organic garden and supplement the supply to some of the Oceanview bures.
All resort staff are from local villages. The resort's annual expenditure is directed, wherever possible, to the local community.
Obviously, we do have to import some specialised equipment not manufactured on the island or in Fiji but if we can obtain a product locally, we will do so.
Marine Reserves
Working in conjunction with our neighboring village of Kadavu Koro, we have established a marine reserve from the boundary of the Matava foreshore extending out to encompass the opposite Waya island. This area is protected from any sort of fishing, shell collecting and reef walking.
We have also helped the village of Nacomoto establish a marine reserve in their waters.
Each time we dive there, we make a contribution to the village. This clearly benefits all parties. The diving is superb, the village gets income and the fish have a sanctuary to breed.
Our divers often dive in the Naiqoro Passage marine reserve and we make further contributions to support this initiative.
Our guests are asked to make a small voluntary contribution to these marine reserves when they check-out. This money is used in their support and to promote marine conservation measures taken by our local villages.
Each bure contains an information pack which includes advice on how guests can avoid damaging coral and marine life. The main bure has an extensive reference and information folder on coral reefs and their associated marine life.
Matava Resort is supporting the efforts of local community school governors to have the Fiji national curriculum include a class on marine and terrestrial conservation and sustainable resource management.
The new class began its trial in all Kadavu Island schools in early January 2009 and was so successful, it was rolled out over the whole country and became part of the National Curriculum.
The International Ecotourism Society
Matava is proud to be one of the leaders in Fiji of The International Ecotourism Society.
The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) is a non-profit association committed to promoting responsible tourism practices that benefit conservation and communities. Representing the voices of stakeholders from all corners of the world, TIES' global network supports and is supported by members from 124 countries, who are leading the vital efforts to make travel and tourism more sustainable.
Through membership services, industry outreach and educational programs, TIES is committed to helping organizations, communities and individuals promote and practice the principles of ecotourism. TIES currently has members in more than 120 countries, representing various professional fields and industry segments including: academics, consultants, conservation professionals and organizations, governments, architects, tour operators, lodge owners and managers, general development experts, and ecotourists.
By being a member of TIES, our company and our staff have invested in the real opportunities that the ecotourism industry provides. The TIES community represents one of the fastest growing tourism sectors worldwide.
We have a 'look but don't touch' diving and snorkeling policy.Diving guests seen to be damaging marine life through uncontrolled buoyancy or willful neglect will not be allowed to continue diving.
Guests touching live coral or marine life will be asked to refrain from doing so. We don't ask twice.
The resort has a Tag & Release policy on all billfish other than an obvious World or Fiji National Record.
All fish not destined for the dinner plate are released.
Matava Resort is a member of the International Game Fishing Association (IGFA) and the game boat's skipper is a member and supporter of The Billfish Foundation .
Matava's Responsible Tourism Code of Conduct
Matava's dedication to Responsible Tourism is the driving force behind our Environmental Policy.
Far from being an abstract ideal for us, Responsible Tourism shapes all our major decisions – from the concept that 'Small Groups Leave Fewer Footprints' to the choice of contractors and suppliers. See here for our full guidelines.

Comments about the book
I'm writing to praise the Glueckstalers book. I was reading the "Brauche, Healing and Home Remedies Chapter" when I was pleasantly surprised to read about my Aunt on my Dad's side of the family, Katharine Weber Reich. She was my Dad's oldest sister who was two years older than my dad, Joacob Weber. He had another sister Catherine Weber Neiffer who was born after my grandfather Johann Weber died a month before Catherine's birth. My Dad took the family to Wishek on a number of occasions when we lived in Isabel, South Dakota. Aunt Katherine spoke only German and didn't say much to me, at least I don't remember what she said. Our family moved to Washington state in 1936 and I never did see the Reich family after that. I read with great interest the story on page 695 about the treatment of Angewachse. The story: "In the 1960s, a rural Wishek, North Dakota, woman remembers making middle-of-the-night journeys with her screaming infants to the Wishek home of Katharine Weber Reich, a well-respected Brauchere. There is another mention of Aunt Katharine on page 696. At any rate I wanted to say thanks for the marvelous book.

High-Yield CDs: Red Flags that Signal a Scam
Beware of promotions about certificates of deposit (CDs) promising interest rates that are substantially higher than current averages. FINRA has observed offers for "low-risk" products with outsized returns. Investors should be wary of unsolicited emails and calls that offer outsized interest from financial institutions, including banks and brokerage firms, particularly those with which you have not had a business relationship.
What Might the Pitch Look Like?
In one instance of suspected email fraud, the pitch appeared to come from a large U.S. bank that supposedly was promoting a CD offered by an international banking partner. At a time when most CDs at U.S. banks and credit unions were offering just over one percent for a comparable term, this pitch offered a CD with a 15 percent yield, and contained instructions on how to wire funds.
In another instance of suspected phishing fraud, a caller posed as a representative from a legitimate brokerage firm and claimed to offer information about CDs that were well above the best rates in the market. The offer appeared to be an attempt to gather personal financial information.
Red Flags that Signal a Scam
Red flags that indicate a CD offer may be fraudulent include:
- Interest rates that are significantly higher than average.
- Emails with addresses that are not originated and sent by the financial institution that is cited in the promotion.
- Emails that contain misspellings or grammatical errors.
- Promotions that claim to be from a U.S. financial institution that has aligned with an international bank.
- Promotions that claim to be for a "limited time only."
- Promotions that claim to be directed at "best customers" and that require extremely high minimum investments (for example, $100,000 U.S. Dollars).
If You Receive an Unsolicited Email or Telephone Call
Never provide personal information or authorize any transfer of funds to any unknown person who emails or calls you or to any institution that you have not checked out.
If you aren't sure a communication is legitimate, contact the customer service center or compliance office of the U.S. financial institution the emailer or caller claims to work for. Use the number on the firm's website or in a publicly available telephone directory. If you are a customer of the financial institution that is being referenced, use the contact information found on your account statements or on the back of the bank's credit or debit card. For email promotions, attach a copy of the promotional email to your correspondence with the firm.
Are Higher Returns Ever Possible?
In low-interest rate environments, investors may be tempted to chase higher yields. But always remember that these higher returns come with a cost. While financial institutions occasionally offer slightly higher than normal rates on CDs, such offers tend to be for (and may be limited to) customers who open a new account. In other instances, a "market-linked" or "structured" CD can legitimately provide potentially higher yields because its performance depends on the performance of a market index or some other benchmark. But, as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation explains, this type of CD is risky and complex—and differs significantly from traditional CDs.
If You Think You've Been Scammed
If you believe you're a victim of a CD scam, act quickly. Contact your financial institution immediately to report a loss or theft of funds through an electronic funds transfer. If you believe your identity has been stolen, follow the Federal Trade Commission's Identity Theft action plan to protect yourself. FINRA also encourages you to file a complaint using our online Complaint Center or send a tip to FINRA's Office of the Whistleblower.

If a writer tried to fashion a novel based on their real life accomplishment it would appear contrived and not believable.
Let's start with Leroy J. Prinz
"St. Joseph, MO, just wasn't exciting enough for young LeRoy Prinz; barely out of his teens, he ran away from home to join the French Foreign Legion. Here he learned the rudiments of aviation, which enabled him to join American ace Eddie Rickenbacker's squadron during World War I. How all this prepared him for a career as a dancer/choreographer is anyone's guess, but by the mid-'20s, Prinz was in Europe, staging production numbers for Paris' Folies Bergere and for Viennese impresario Max Reinhardt. He came to films as a dance director in 1929, working on such early-talkie musicals as Innocents of Paris (1929) and Madame Satan (1930); this latter film launched a long association with director Cecil B. DeMille. Working on some 200 films at various studios (he spent most of his time at Paramount and Warner Bros.), Prinz was nominated for three Academy awards. When he finally won an Oscar, it was for his direction of the uncharacteristically sentimental (and non-musical) Warners short subject A Boy and His Dog (1946). Prinz also produced and directed a brace of 45-minute "streamliners" for Hal Roach, All American Co-Ed(1941) and Fiesta (1941). In films until 1958, LeRoy Prinz was a highly original, fiercely independent talent, a man who was unafraid to tell anyone -- even Jack Warner himself -- what to do and where to go if it impeded his work. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi "

A complete biography of the remarkable man can be read at this site:
"Fisher operated what is believed to be the first automobile dealership in the United States inIndianapolis, and also worked at developing an automobile racetrack locally. After being injured in stunts himself, and following a safety debacle at the new Indianapolis Motor Speedway, of which he was a principal, he helped develop paved racetracks and public roadways. Improvements he implemented at the speedway led to its nickname "The Brickyard".
In 1913, Fisher conceived and helped develop the Lincoln Highway, the first road for the automobile across the entire United States of America. A convoy trip a few years later by theU.S. Army along Fisher's Lincoln Highway was a major influence upon then Lt. Col. Dwight D. Eisenhower years later in championing theInterstate Highway System during his presidency in the 1950s.
Carl Fisher followed the east-west Lincoln Highway in 1914 with the conception of the north-south Dixie Highway, which first led fromIndianapolis, and eventually extended in several northern branches from the Mid-West U.S. at the Canadian borders to southern mainlandFlorida. Under his leadership, the initial portion was completed within a single year, and he led an automobile caravan to Florida fromIndiana.
At the south end of the Dixie Highway in Miami, Florida, Fisher became involved in the successful real estate development of the new resort city of Miami Beach, built on a largely unpopulated barrier island and reached by the new Collins Bridge across Biscayne Baydirectly at the terminus of the Dixie Highway. Fisher was one of the best known and active promoters of the Florida land boom of the 1920s. By 1926, he was worth an estimated $100 million, and redirected his promotional efforts when the Florida real estate market bubble burst after 1925. His final major project, cut short by the Great Depression, was a "Miami Beach of the north" at Montauk, located at the eastern tip of Long Island, New York.
His fortune was lost in the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression in the United States which followed shortly thereafter. He found himself living in a small cottage in Miami Beach, doing minor work for old friends. Nevertheless, years after his fortune had been lost, at the end of his career, he took on one more project, albeit more modest than many of his past ventures, and built the famousCaribbean Club on Key Largo, intended as a "poor man's retreat."
Although he had lost his fortune and late in life considered himself a failure, Fisher is widely regarded as a very successful man in the long view of his life. He was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1971. In a 1998 study judged by a panel of 56 historians, writers, and others, Carl G. Fisher was named one of the 50 Most Influential People in the history of the State of Florida by The Ledger newspaper.PBS labeled him "Mr. Miami Beach." Just south of Miami Beach, Fisher Island (which he once owned, and is named for him), became one of the wealthiest and most exclusive residential areas in the United States."

pay (someone) peanuts
To pay (someone) a very paltry or minuscule amount; to pay the absolute minimum amount necessary. I had a few jobs during college getting paid peanuts, but it was the only work I could find that fit in with my studies. You're never going to be able to hire an effective manager if you're only willing to pay peanuts.

Best Buy is one of the world's largest sellers of Apple products like the iPhone and iPads. But you would never really know that once you see the throngs of customers waiting to purchase the iPhone 5 outside of the 250 or so Apple stores across the country Friday morning, including the Mall of America and Uptown.
The debut of a hot consumer electronic product is sort of like the movie business. Everything depends on opening weekend grosses, which sets the pace for how the movie fares for the rest of its run.
Analysts expect iPhone 5 to be a big blockbuster, even though the device offers only relatively modest upgrades like an improved camera, 4G capability, and a longer screen.
Unfortunately for Best Buy, Apple's decision to debut products like iPhone 5 at its own retail chain kind of steals most of the initial sales thunder from BBY stores. Oh sure, Best Buy will sell plenty of iPhone 5s. But one would think they would sell a whole more if Apple chose to debut the phones at a Best Buy.
Microsoft is also stretching its retail muscles. The company will reportedly debut its Surface tablets this fall at the roughly two dozen Microsoft stores. And borrowing a page from Target Corp., Microsoft will also open 32 "pop-up" stores at malls and shopping centers this holiday shopping season. (Even Amazon, Best Buy's online nemesis, plans to open physical stores.)
All of this should worry Best Buy. Back in the day, retailers were retailers and manufacturers were manufacturers. Today, those lines are completely blurred. In the past, you would line up outside a Best Buy for the latest gadget.
Nowadays, the only time you see huge lines outside of a Best Buy is Black Friday, when the retailer offers huge day-after-Thanksgiving discounts to jump start the holiday shopping season.
New Best Buy CEO Hubert Joly has certainly thought about this. Best Buy must work with its key suppliers like Apple and Microsoft to create value and excitement, he said.
"As a major retailer, we are very important to them," Joly told the Star Tribune in an earlier interview. "There has to got to be things that we can do for their benefit and our benefit. Ralph Lauren has its own retail business but also partners with Macy's. There are lot of partnership opportunities. Is it exclusive products? Or other things? I don't know yet."
These days, brick and mortar stores use exclusivity to drive people to its stores. Without design partnerships like Missioni, Shops at Target, and Neiman Marcus, Target might be just another discount chain hawking pet food, toothpaste, and shower curtains.
It's hard to think of any such equivalents at Best Buy. The retailer does offer several private label brands, including Rocket Fish, Dynex, and Insignia.
But "Best Buy has not aggressively marketed their own brands," said Carol Spieckerman, president of newmarketbuilders, a retail consulting firm. The retailer has so far failed to offer something truly unique and experiential to shoppers, she said.
Best Buy still harbors hope that it can exclusively sell that next must-have gadget. The company operates a venture fund that seeks to invest in hot technology startups from Silicon Valley in exchange for first rights to sell that product.
Some new technology that will prompt people to line outside of Best Buy the same way they do for Apple.
Until then, Best Buy can only wait until the second wave of iPhone buyers hit its stores.

A federal judge in Columbus criticized sentencing guidelines for child-pornography offenses yesterday as he imposed a stricter sentence on a Mount Vernon man whose original sentence was rejected by an appeals court.
A federal judge in Columbus criticized sentencing guidelines for child-pornography offenses yesterday as he imposed a stricter sentence on a Mount Vernon man whose original sentence was rejected by an appeals court.
U.S. District Judge James L. Graham said he �continues to have significant concerns about the helpfulness of those guidelines.�
He made his comments during a resentencing hearing for Richard Bistline, 70, who pleaded guilty in April 2009 to one count of possessing child pornography. Federal sentencing guidelines recommended a sentence of 63 to 78 months.
Graham sentenced Bistline in January 2010 to one day in prison and 10 years of supervised probation. Federal prosecutors appealed the sentence, which the 6th U.S. District Court of Appeals overturned in January 2012, saying it �does not remotely meet the criteria that Congress laid out� for criminal sentencing.
Graham imposed the same sentence yesterday but ruled that Bistline must be confined to his Knox County home for the first three years of probation. He credited Bistline with the one day he served in prison, three years served on probation and nine months of home confinement that he served while awaiting his original sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah Solove had requested a five-year prison sentence, followed by five years of probation. She objected to the new sentence, saying it was �not reasonable.�
The judge said he was guided by appeals-court rulings that upheld sentences in similar child-pornography cases that included one day of prison and at least one year of home confinement.
He cited statistics from the Federal Bureau of Prisons showing that federal judges across the country impose sentences below those recommended in the sentencing guidelines in more than half of child-pornography cases.
�It tends to reinforce this court�s opinion that child-pornography guidelines are just not as helpful to sentencing judges as other guidelines have been,� he said.
Bistline, a former Michigan schoolteacher with no criminal record, was arrested after a task force investigating online crimes against children downloaded images of child pornography that had come from Bistline�s home computer. A search of the computer uncovered 305 images and 56 videos of children posing naked or involved in sex acts with adults.
He chose not to make a statement during yesterday�s hearing.
In the three years since his conviction, Bistline has complied with the terms of probation, successfully completed a one-year sex-offender treatment program, had no access to computers and understands the harm caused to the victims of child pornography, Graham said.
Defense attorney Jonathan Tyack told the judge that the past three years �have shown that (Bistline) was worthy of your original sentence.�
Graham also said he was influenced by concerns about Bistline�s age and deteriorating health. According to medical records presented to the court, Bistline has had two strokes and suffered a heart attack a year ago. He also cares for his wife, who has cancer.
Sending him to prison for five years �would be a life sentence, or more accurately a death sentence,� the judge said.
Solove rejected health concerns as a reason to keep Bistline out of prison, saying he �is not infirm or feeble or unable to care for himself.�

City as Material
September 7, 2009 by Giles Lane
This week we begin teaching a course on the city as material for artistic practice with students from Vassar College's International Program in London. We've planned it as a co-creative course, intending to act as facilitators and guides to the students in devising and conducting their own investigations of the city and creating their own interventions. The students will be creating a blog to document their activities, as well as publishing eBooks about their individual projects.
The course is fortnightly (from early September to the beginning of December 2009), based in our studio in Clerkenwell, from where we'll engage in walks, watching, making, drawing, discussing and eating.
From our course introduction (eBook A4 | US Letter PDF 240Kb),
The focus for this class will be in considering the role of the city as material for artistic experimentation and creation. Only inadequately understood as "public art," urban interventions produce public space where it does not exist, foster new modes of urban citizenship and participation, render legible the force of political and financial power shaping the global city, expose the mutability of "public" and "private" entailed by new media transformations of social space, create alliances between varied urban stakeholders, challenge the zero-tolerance policies of the increasingly securitized city, and broaden the repertoire of political resistance and direct action. In addition to contemporary practice the course will consider the rich histories of urban intervention by artists in London and elsewhere.
