Updated May 02 2016
The Florence RedWolves along with third-year head coach Blake Maxwell are excited to announce the addition of two returning players for the upcoming 2016 season. Bates College right-handed pitcher Connor Speed and Florida Tech right-handed pitcher Brett Porter will call Sparrow stadium home this summer after completing their respective collegiate seasons.
Speed, who is a native of San Diego, Calif., checks in at 6'0" for the Bobcats. He has appeared in 10 games this season for Bates with seven starts on the mound. He currently leads the pitching-staff in innings pitched (44.2), complete games (2), strikeouts (50), and earned run average (3.02). Last season he led the Bobcats in innings pitched (47) and started seven contests. He also fanned six or more batters in a game on four different occasions. The highlight of his 2015 campaign came against Tufts in the second game of the NESCAC Baseball Championships. He tossed seven innings of two-hit baseball while allowing only one run and striking out eight in a winning effort. He earned First-Team All-League and First-Team All-Conference honors playing baseball at St. Augustine High School in San Diego, Calif.
Porter hails from Lake Mary, Fla., and stands at 5'11" for the Panthers. He has appeared in 14 games this season for Florida Tech, going 2-1 with a 2.84 ERA and two saves. He has tossed 25.1 innings for the Panthers, allowing eight earned runs on 19 hits. He has fanned 32 batters while walking only 10. In 2015, he made 10 appearances as a relief pitcher, notching one save and a 4.91 ERA in 11 innings. He also was a part of three combined shutouts for the Panthers. In 2014, he led the Panthers with four saves and was named to the FIT Athletic Director's Honor Roll as a freshman. Prior to attending Florida Tech, Porter attended Lake Mary High School in Lake, Fla.
Head coach Blake Maxwell said of both Speed and Porter, "We are very excited to have Connor and Brett returning for this season. Connor joined our roster towards the end of last summer and did well for the team. He is a submarine pitcher who should be a part of our starting rotation. Brett was lights out last summer. He was our setup man and did an excellent job in that role. We expect another big summer from him in our bullpen and expect him to see a lot of time on the mound in big situations."
Host families are a crucial, much-appreciated part of RedWolves baseball. Each summer, local families open their homes to our players and their generosity has helped us make the RedWolves a part of the Florence community for seventeen years. Being a host family is a great opportunity for your family to connect with a college player while being part of the larger RedWolves family.
If you are interested in becoming a host family with the RedWolves, please e-mail Amanda, firstname.lastname@example.com, or call the RedWolves' office at 629-0700 and we'll answer any of your questions about becoming a host family.
The RedWolves kick off their 57 game season at home on Tuesday, May 31st against the Fayetteville SwampDogs. Over the course of the 10-week season, Sparrow Stadium will host 30 home games, seven of which are Thirsty Thursdays. New this season is "Two Dollar Tuesday", where drinks and hotdogs are all just two dollars each! A featured "Two Dollar Tuesday" night will be held against the Francis Marion Alumni Baseball Team on June 21st.The Coastal Plain League is the nation's premier summer collegiate baseball league.

Joy Crookes – Sinatra
When Joy Crookes debuted with New Manhattan here at the Going Solo headquarters we all were extremely impressed by the charm and the total vocal confidence showcased by this only seventeen year-old London-native girl . Her brand-new single Sinatra undoubtely confirms all the premises, enchanting with theatrical soundscapes, languid guitar riffs and a modern elegance of absolute impact.
Currently working on her debut LP, speaking about the track Joy explains:
"'Sinatra' is about a fatal attraction.Most of us can relate to misguided love…being with, or staying with someone who isn't right for you. You can almost become addicted to a person; the 'Sinatra Charm' as referenced in the song.This person has the ability to make to feel like you are the centre of their universe, like they would do anything for you, when in reality, in the next moment they can make you feel completely insignificant. It's a game that gets you mad, but it's also exciting…it's a game that keeps you hooked."

We all know there are book bloggers, but there are also BookTubers on YouTube who talk about books. Here are some of my favourites! Make sure to drop by and check their videos out.
My name is Jesse and I'm 21 years old! I live in Missouri and I'm obsessed with books. I have a massive love for traveling the world. I've been to places like Brazil, China, and all around the USA.
When I first found the BookTube community, I honestly wasn't a huge reader. The community actually inspired me to pick up books again. When I started reading again, I wanted somebody to talk to about the books I was reading and so I created my channel!
I film with a canon 60D and edit with Final Cut Pro.
Book Hauls used to be my absolute favorite videos to film. They're just so fun! I get so excited when I'm sharing the new books I've received. Recently, I've been enjoying doing book reviews and discussions. I used to think they were a lot of work, which don't get me wrong, they are, but they're so fun to film. Plus, I love hearing what everyone has to say about the book I'm reviewing/discussing in the comments.
I think BookTube has definitely had an impact on my reading life. I've delved into genres I never even thought I would enjoy.
I would say just do your own thing and have fun!

Do we know if this is a replacement or just an alternate on the classic bags????
its just for that collection..I beleive...I have it on my jumbo and I love it.Alot of peeps prefer the old chain too though
I was told it's just something new; it may be added to the line for good, but it will NOT replace the old chain.
I was told it was a limited edition.
I love the new chain...I m quite sure it's just an alternate
I prefer the classic chain. It hangs over the bag and doesn't fall on the bag, which can ruin your lambskin bags and make an imprint on them
I prefer the new chain. IMO it modernizes the bag.
I know the question wasn't to vote for old or new BUT I prefer the old. It doesn't overpower the look of the actual bag, imo.
To the question, apparently it's just an alternative chain, for now anyway.
Def not replacement..I think chanel will lose a lot of customers and also go against its roots as a brand....def not something even a mildy sane person would decide on...must say never liked the new chain
i prefer the old chain...
I think the new chain gives the bags a new edge that attract a younger generation to discover Chanel. The new chain can however never replace the old one, but it does make a good complement.
I like the change but prefer the classic if I HAD to pick one.
i love my new chain - it's such a pretty chain in silver and i don't feel as dressed up as i do with my classic chain bag.
i prefer the old BUT saw the black caviar jumbo with the new, at NM, and it is absolutely gorgeous...perfect blend of traditional and edgy..............i loved it
Could someone post comparison photos? I don't know the difference. I only own one Chanel. I'm sure it would be appreciated by many.

Cutaneous larval migrans (CLM) is a zoonotic infection caused by hookworm larvae migrating through the skin. Several species of hookworm have been implicated in this disease, but it is most commonly caused by larvae of the species Ancyclostoma braziliense and Ancyclostoma caninum, both of which are intestinal parasites of dogs, cats and other carnivores. The eggs are passed in the feces of animals and develop into infective larvae in six to 12 days. The larvae can then survive in the environment for up to four weeks. Humans develop cutaneous larval migrans when larvae come into contact with exposed skin. This can occur when an individual walks through contaminated soil or sand in bare feet or sits in contaminated soil or sand. Disease occurs more commonly in tropical or subtropical areas. Humans are considered dead-end hosts for these parasites, and human-to-human transmission does not occur.
The larvae penetrate and migrate through the skin causing inflamed tracts in the skin. These tracts are extremely itchy, and secondary bacterial infection is common due to self-trauma produced by scratching. The larvae continue to migrate through the skin for two to eight weeks, after which they die and the disease spontaneously cures itself. CLM can be treated with antiparasiticides and antibiotics for secondary bacterial infections if necessary.
Animals associated with cutaneous larval migrans include:

SAG Awards 2013: 9 Standout Moments
Tina Fey goes out with a "Bang"; Amy Poehler and Neil Patrick Harris get dramatic; Jennifer Lawrence calls Harvey Weinstein "a rascal"; Daniel Day-Lewis makes a joke(?!); and more ceremony highlights
Posted on
more EW
1 of 10
Getting to Know Them
The SAG Awards' annual opener, in which a handful of actors share an anecdote about their journeys to the ceremony, is notoriously hit-or-miss. This year's selection (Jane Krakowski, Chris Tucker, Helen Hunt, Hal Holbrook, Alfre Woodard, Darren Criss, and Sofia Vergara) was no less eclectically curated than any other year, but there were a few standout moments, including when Tucker's Silver Linings Playbook costar Jacki Weaver intro-bombed him and when Holbrook called actors ''a bunch of weirdos.'' Extra credit: We learned that Vergara's boyfriend Nick Loeb moves his lips while reading — a rather unfortunate habit when he's on camera behind Vergara as she reads lines about looking like a hooker.
2 of 10
Absolutely Fey-bulous
Two weeks after nailing her gig hosting the Golden Globes with fellow funnywoman Amy Poehler, Tina Fey won SAG's Outstanding Female Actor in a Comedy Series. Of course, she knew better than to leave out her long-time partner in crime (who just happened to be Ken Tucker's pick to take home the award). Said Fey, ''I share this with my sweet friend Amy Poehler.... Amy, I've known you since you were pregnant with Lena Dunham.'' (Fey also couldn't resist throwing in an 11th-hour plug for 30 Rock: ''Our finale is on Thursday at 8 — up against The Big Bang Theory. So please tape The Big Bang Theory this one time for cryin' out loud!'')
3 of 10
Comedy Class
After winning for the past two years, it was hardly a surprise that Modern Family won the Best Television Comedy Ensemble trophy. But it was a nice touch when star Jesse Tyler Ferguson made a point of giving credit to two of Family's fellow nominees. ''I think we'd be doing the evening a great disservice if we didn't mention the brilliant departing casts of 30 Rock and The Office,'' he said in a gracious acceptance speech. ''You all have set the comedy bar so high, and if we can just be half as brilliant and smart and wonderful as you are, then we've succeeded.''
4 of 10
Here's Lookin' at You, Dick
Accepting his Lifetime Achievement Award, 87-year-old Dick Van Dyke hopped up on the stage with the same spring in his step as the day audiences came to know and love him more than 50 years ago. ''Aren't we lucky to have found a line of work that doesn't require growing up?'' he appropriately asked the audience, then assured, ''I'm still singin' and dancin'.'' And we'll be with you for every ''Step in Time,'' Dick.

NPH + AP = MVPs
In the hands-down funniest bit of the night, Poehler and Neil Patrick Harris took the stage to present the awards for Outstanding Male Television Actor, Drama. As such, they committed themselves to a dramatic reading of a series of words with built-in gravitas... well, most of them anyway. Judge for yourself.
Poehler: Family. Honor. Sacrifice.
Harris: Tension. Deception. Courage.
Poehler: Madness.
Harris: Danger.
Poehler: Intrigue.
Harris: To some, these words describe the work of our next nominees.
Poehler: But to us, they're just a bunch of words that sound dramatic when said loudly.
Harris: Betrayal. Secrets.
Poehler: Swordplay. Midnight.
Harris: Bastard!
Poehler: Mustard!
Harris: Muuuurder!
Poehler: Sandwich.
6 of 10
Downton Sassy!
''Shut the French windows!'' No one was more surprised by Downton Abbey's upset in the Outstanding TV Drama Ensemble category than the cast itself. Phyllis Logan (significantly va-va-voomed up from Mrs. Hughes' wardrobe) led a shocked and scrappy cohort to the podium where she delivered a breathless speech. Even if the show's win over the likes of Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Homeland, and Boardwalk Empire doubtlessly rubbed many viewers the wrong way, the Downtonians' surprise at taking top honors was refreshing. Coupled with some saucy side boob from Michelle Dockery (in a sleek Chado Ralph Rucci number), the unexpected moment justified Abbey obsessives' tough decision to tune in for the SAGs instead of watching last night's harrowing ep in real time.
7 of 10
A Winsome Winner
Who said MTV never gave us anything? In her acceptance speech for Outstanding Female Movie Actor, Jennifer Lawrence revealed she earned her SAG card by starring in a My Super Sweet Sixteen promo. (Watch it here!) And that was after she tripped and ripped her dress on the way up to collect ''this naked statue.'' (Ed. note: A rep from Dior told EW that Lawrence's dress did not, in fact, rip — but was designed with a tiered construction that slightly exposed Lawrence's leg when she pulled it up to climb the stairs.) Lawrence then poignantly credited director-writer David O. Russell, whose own son struggles with bipolar disorder, with ''[helping] so many sons and daughters, husbands, wives, everybody.'' The cherry on top of yet another remarkably fresh, spontaneous speech? When J.Law called Harvey Weinstein ''a rascal.'' Note to Hollywood: Never. Stop. Giving. Her. Awards.
8 of 10
Daniel Day-Lewis Makes a Funny!
Generally known for his seriousness, the newly crowned Outstanding Male Movie Actor received a standing ovation for his uncannily authentic portrayal of America's 16th president. And yet, in his thank-you speech, Day-Lewis executed a sweet set-up in recalling his trepidation in taking on the role. ''When I was prowling around the idea and wondering whether I would take the risk of doing it, for some reason, the guiding principle of the Hippocratic Oath keep nagging at me: 'First do no harm.' With that modest but important ambition, I set out,'' he said, taking a beat and adding, ''And then it occurred to me that it was an actor that murdered Abraham Lincoln.'' Of course, this is DDL, so that portion of the speech did end on a poetic note: ''And therefore somehow it's only fitting that every now and then an actor tries to bring him back to life again.'' (Semi-related note: Day-Lewis name-checked a very strange trifecta of actors in his speech: Joaquin Phoenix, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Liam Neeson. Raise your hand if you want to go to that boys' night out.)
9 of 10
Argo Has Eyes on Oscar
With a Golden Globe, a Producer's Guild Award, and now a SAG statuette for Outstanding Motion Picture Ensemble, Ben Affleck may be Hollywood's winningest snubbee. As Prize Fighter's Anthony Breznican pointed out in the wake of Saturday's PGA win, Argo is gaining serious momentum on its way to the Dolby Theatre. The support of the media and the unions bodes well for Affleck as he tries to secure his place on the big stage come Feb. 24.
10 of 10
Bonus: Pun and Done
For anyone who missed — or, more likely, skipped — the awkward banter during E!'s red carpet broadcast, SAG producers packed two hours of hilarity into a pre-show package chockablock with ham-fisted plays on the nominated actors and projects. My top three:
3. ''Hey, Ben Affleck, Argo find your seat!''
2. ''Les Misérables stars Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman look anything but miserable.''
1. ''Zero Dark Thirty's Jessica Chastain looks Zero Dark Flirty!''

Migration and Culture
Culture is not new to the study of migration. It has lurked beneath the surface for some time, occasionally protruding openly into the discussion, usually under some pseudonym. The authors bring culture into the open. They are concerned with how culture manifests itself in the migration process for three groups of actors: the migrants, those remaining in the sending areas, and people already living in the recipient locations. The topics vary widely. What unites the authors is an understanding that though actors behave differently, within a group there are economically important shared beliefs (customs, values, attitudes, etc.), which we commonly refer to as culture. Culture and identify play a central role in our understanding of migration as an economic phenomenon; but what about them matters? Properly, we should be looking at the determinants of identity and the determinants of culture (prices and incomes, broadly defined). But this is not what is done. Usually identity and culture appear in economics articles as a black box. Here we try to begin to break open the black box.

I see eatery outlets and friends who are not Christians, decorate fake Christmas tree just for the joy. I admire them. Do you do the same?
sort by best latest
Today, most people in Britain don't celebrate Christmas for its religion but because it's a festive tradition reinforced by also being a public holiday.
A large percentage of the British population is not religious (25.7%), compared to America where it's only 15%. And more striking, only 59% of Britain's are Christians, compared to 73% in America (2011 and 2012 surveys).
Yet most Britain's celebrate Christmas, including buying and decorating Christmas trees, just as much as anyone else.
Years ago we bought a real Christmas tree rooted in a pot, which we keep in the garden and each Christmas bring into our conservatory for decorating; it's now grown to about 5ft tall, and still growing slowly, its growth restricted by being potted.
yes, my mom in law said that christmas tree can't grow any taller if grow in a pot compare to grow in the garden
The eatery outlets will have Christians - and others who celebrate it, not only Christians do - as customers. So they most likely put the tree up for the customers.
Also, in the US it probably began as a tradition for this day many years ago. Since then there have been changes in religions and our people who live here.
i see, so maybe the owners are christians or majority of the customers are christians. Do you decorate the real or fake tree?
I have a 24" fake tree since I live alone and maybe the only guests I would have are my brother and his girlfriend. Besides, the decorations are still packed somewhere from the last move.
So you didn't decorate the tree this year? I don't have one
Not this year. The tree is in the closet and I could have made some simple decorations for it but Christmas sneaked up on me this year since I have been so busy.
yeah, too busy with your work eh? I prefer to watch those tall Xmas trees well decorated at shopping malls
I do not go to malls anymore, I only go to Publix and WalMart. Maybe Home Depot.
I have a "holiday" tree. The idea of decorating trees for the winter solstice or Yule (particularly pine trees) dates back to Pagan times. In fact, it didn't even become a tradition to have a decorated tree indoors in the United States until the late 1800's.
The Christmas tree is not a religious symbol at all. I am quasi Christian and my husband is Roman Catholic and we do not put up a tree. The main reasons for that is one..it is stored in the crawlspace and neigther of us loke t go under there. The other one is we have cats...enuf said about that one! We have a new kitty that we just adopted--actually left here and we just do not like the mess of getting everthing out and then putting it away.
I see that it is a big chore to put up and back while the cat is around too
Try 6 cats. That is how many that I have and 5 live in the house most of the time.
gosh 6 cats will cause chaos in the house. No wonder you don't put up the Xmas tree

It's good to know the background profile of the one you will vote. Yesterday I got the chance to shake hands the candidates running for mayor in the city. it was just great to see them in person. Each of them must have a Web To Print Solution software for easy printing of their hand bills. Good luck to you all!

Everlong in Nagoya, Japan by bandesign
March 18th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: bandesign
Everlong which has changeable structure, RC and Wood exists perpetually for living in an urban location.
Everlong which has borrowed urban scenery exists in a central position of Nagoya city, Japanese typical urban location. The area that a commercial and a residential district has been considered to be sphere of influence and this townscape has been changing rapidly. Under the circumstances, architecture in the area needs to provide for various purposes.
Many Japanese residences constructed with RC structure have scraped early stages, about 30~40 years despite the RC having the long use years, over 60 or 70 years, because the RC structure has been inflexible for the changes of the time. To live long is to outlive many. Thus, the house requires changeable components of architecture.
First of all, 10 RC bands hold small width walls. In order to stand horizontal forth of earthquakes the bands perform strongly. The house is ringed by the 10 RC bands consequently creating borrowed urban scenery.
Second, wooden floors set on the each bands for housing requirements. This structural component has capable for the changes because the wooden structure provides easily extension and reconstruction. In addition, uniquely the component has possibility to change for height. At that time, 10 RC bands and wooden floors function as a recombination shelf.
Moreover, in the internal space, Japanese Shoji, right weight walls make various spaces plastically and satisfactory environment. In the west side, the walls make an insulating air layer between large windows and internal spaces. Working an air conditioner, the walls change air volume of the spaces.
In order to live perpetually in the urban area the house continues changing in the long term and the short term.
Last, the house was commissioned by an aged woman who hopes her house remains forever if she disappears. Everlong was named after such her wishes.

Gallagher, S.J., established the Institute of Human Resources and Industrial Relations (HRIR) under the name the Institute of Social Administration (ISA) with the goal of cultivating a graduate level program covering the field of labor management relations. The program, the first of its kind in the Midwest, equips its students with economic, social, and political theories, as well as practical knowledge and experience in the field. Since its inception, HRIR has included a Board of Advisors comprised of labor relations professionals from the Chicago area in addition to a faculty having professional experience in positions dealing with labor relations.
Scope and Content Note:
The records of the Institute of Human Resources and Industrial Relations include correspondence; meeting minutes; annual reports; constitution and by-laws; course bulletins; course syllabi; conference materials; published articles; program brochures; news releases and other press; budget reports; grade distributions; and photographs. Subjects covered include HRIR faculty and administration; HRIR students; labor relations; the Bureau of National Affairs Briefing Sessions on Collective Bargaining seminars; the Loyola Manpower Conferences; HRIR's anniversaries; HRIR curriculum; nationwide labor programs; HRIR Board of Advisors; LISAIR (Loyola Institute of Social and Industrial Relations student group); student internships; and the 1982 exchange program with Ireland. A large portion of the records reflect the administration of Alan Fredian.

I was watching this Vox Media video regarding ObamaCare/Affordable Care Act in Whitley County (Kentucky) which heavily voted for Trump but keeping in mind that historically the county was a strong hold for Republican support even when it is against their own self interest as seen in the video below:
Reading through the comment section there as a to and fro debate between multiple parties over the fact that this county had overwhelmingly supported Trump and that Trump was going to take away their healthcare yet people still voted for Trump anyway:
Feel sympathy for them. I do. Not all of us had the money or opportunity to go to college. You want to say they are just stupid? Then by the same lodgic you must say that those born handicapped are just born that way and shouldn't be helped. We can't exclude people because they lack education or smarts. Are their lives not as valuable as anyone else's. Of course they are. Do they not deserve food and shelter and a decent standard of living? How can anyone demand equality for minority races, the handicapped, for different religions and leave out people because they weren't born smart enough? They might have been misguided in voting for Trump but no one else was listening, no one else seemed to care. These people felt so forgotten that they took a chance, a long shot, but that's the only odds they were given. Obama could have fixed a lot by not throwing it back to congress to improve Obamacare but to just sign one more executive order to help these desperately poor people that everyone seems to have forgotten.
The first thing that needs to be noted is the fact the county was heavily leaning Republican so in reality it is the age old joke of it being a place that you could put a wheel barrow up with a red rosette affixed to the aforementioned gardening utensil and the locals would still vote for them no matter how much they're getting fucked over by the Republican Party. This isn't solely and America phenomenon given that there are parts of New Zealand that are politically tribal – farmers who will keep voting National Party through thick and thin and parts of the urban centres that'll keep voting Labour even when the fail to deliver over and over again. So at the end of the day I don't think there was a dogs balls chance in hell of that county ever flipping the county from Republican to Democratic given how ingrained the idea of being Republican is to that particular area
I'm sure someone will claim that "You want to say they are just stupid?" But the reality is that they are stupid because they never asked the follow question, "what do you mean, something great?" and as we've seen today it appears that Trump has admitted that maybe healthcare is a lot more complicated than getting up and making a blustering speech at the podium during one of his rallies. By the way, these people aren't idiots – if I said to them, "buy this truck, it is great" do you really think they would turn around and just go and buy it? of course not! they would ask, "why do you say it is great" and then demand the specifications, whether it has any endorsements from professional organisations, along with other information relevant to the decision to buy or not to buy. So yes, these people do have the nous to make a big purchasing decision that they'll have to live with for years but they weren't smart enough to see through the slick sales tricks by Trump? Maybe the answer is simpler than may in the media try to make it out to be – that those who voted for Trump hated Obama (Hillary seen as the 'heir' to Obama's legacy) more than they care about their own health. Then again, it isn't the first time that hate has blinded people into making a stupid decision in life.

Mark Shepard speaking on Restoration Agriculture.
The one concept he covered that resonated with me is the lack of yearly inputs required for continuity of perennial based agriculture. It does not matter if annuals are more productive. It doesn't even matter if annuals yield more by orders of magnitude. The fact that perennials require no annual inputs means that the cost benefit ratio will always be in favor of a perennial based system.
There was one other thing stated that should cause everyone to sit up and take notice - the temperate oak savannah is capable of supporting more mammalian pounds per acre than any other biome on the planet.
The ramifications of these two factors combined are profound.

Definition: The law recognizes this form of estate (ownership) in real estate as the highest form. The property owner is entitled to full enjoyment of the property, limited only by zoning laws, deed or subdivision restrictions or covenants.

The duration of this ownership is not limited and can be passed along in a will to the owner's heirs.

Also Known As: "fee ownership" and "estate of inheritance"

If you want to know just how much your ownership can be limited, let's take a look at the Exceptions section of a title insurance binder in the state of New Mexico. You'll see the things the title insurer will not cover, excepting them from the policy.

Standard exceptions 1, 2, 3 4, 6 and /or 8 may be deleted from any policy, and standard exception 7 may be modified on any policy, upon compliance with all provisions of the applicable regulations, upon payment of all additional premiums required by the applicable regulations, upon receipt of the required documents and upon compliance with the company's underwriting standards for each such deletion. Standard exception 5 may be deleted from the policy if the named insured in the case of an owner's policy, or the vestee, in the case of a loan policy, is a corporation, a partnership, or other artificial entity, or a person holding title as trustee. The policy to be issued pursuant to this commitment will be endorsed or modified in schedule B by the company to waive its rights to demand arbitration pursuant to the conditions and stipulations of the policy at no cost or charge to the insured. The endorsement or the language added to Schedule B of the policy shall read: "In compliance with Subsection D of 188.8.131.52. NMAC, the company herby waives its rights to demand arbitration pursuant to the title insurance arbitration rules of the American Land Title Association. Nothing herein prohibits the arbitration of all arbitrable matters when agreed to by both company and the insured." 16-16-19, 3-1-90, 6-1-97, 61-98; 220.127.116.11 NMAC — Rn, 13 NMAC 14.5.9,5-15-00;A, 8-29-06; A, 7-1-05

Schedule B of the policy or policies to be issued will contain exceptions to the following matters unless the same are disposed of to the satisfaction of the company.

I. Rights or claims of parties in possession not shown by the public records.

Easements, or claims of easements, not shown by the public records.

Encroachments, overlaps, conflicts in boundary lines, shortages in area, or other matters which would be disclosed by an accurate survey and inspection of the premises.

Any lien, claim or right to a lien, for services, labor or material heretofore or hereafter furnished, imposed by law and not shown by the public records.

Community property, survivorship, or homestead rights, if any, of any spouse of the insured (or vestee in a leasehold or loan policy).

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

Water rights, claims or title to water.

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

Taxes for the year 2009, and thereafter.

Defects, liens, encumbrances, adverse claims or other matters, if any, created, first appearing in the public records or attaching subsequent to the effective date hereof but prior to the date the proposed insured acquires for value of record the estate or interest or mortgage thereon covered by this Commitment.

Reservations as contained in patent from The United States of America to Antonio Martinez Grant, dated May 8, 1896 and filed for record in Book A-16 at pages 68-97.

20' easements for ingress, egress and utilities, 50' easement for ingress, egress and utilities, overhead power lines, utilities as reflected on survey plat entitled "Lopez to Barron", dated October 14, 2003 by Jeffrey B. Stadler as Job #858 filed on November 5, 2003 in Cabinet Eat page 128.

Easement as contained in Warranty Deeds filed for record in Book A-248 at page 569; Book A-181 at pages 528-532; Book A229 at pages 1-2; Book A-229 at pages 20-21.

(Continued)

File Number: redacted Commitment: redacted

Right of Way Easement, dated June 3, 1987 in favor of Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, Inc., and filed for record in Book M-119 at page 810.

Right of Way Easement dated November 14, 2003 between Terry Lopez, a single person to Daniel R. Barron, a married man dealing with his sole and separate property filed for record in Book M411 at pages 270-274.

Road and Utility Easement, dated October 29, 2003 and' iled for record in Book M-413 at page 699.

Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, dated May 29, 2006 and filed for record in Book M-550 at pages 516-535.

All of these aren't problems or restrictions on ownership, but they do indicate the many ways in which threats to ownership can surface. If you're not reading this on behalf of your client and helping them to understand it, you're not doing your best to serve their interests.

The Federation's mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity. It is the world's largest humanitarian organization and its millions of volunteers are active in over 186 countries.

Period covered: December 2004 to December 2010
By Chandani Jayatilleke, Communications Manager, Plan Sri Lanka
When the 2004 tsunami devastated 13 coastal areas in Sri Lanka, the surviving children were left with nothing.
Not only did they lose their homes, friends and family, but also their schools and livelihoods. Hambantota was one of the worst affected areas, with many schoolchildren forced to join classes in neighboring communities, causing overcrowding and straining on resources.
Yet four years later, the children have a brand new school of their own in one of the biggest ever projects taken on by Plan Sri Lanka.
Helping the helpers - it is their right and our duty
In the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, we say our people are our greatest asset. We take pride in often being the first organisation to respond, thanks to our global network of local volunteers and staff. It is, however, sometimes sad to see how we take care of this valuable resource.
Sure, we give them the technical skills to do their work, but what about their mental wellbeing?

ICRC oversees safe passage of nearly 25,000 civilians
Additional security measures introduced by the Sri Lankan government at the Medawachchiya checkpoint in Anuradhapura and the Omanthai crossing point in Vavuniya slowed down the movement of civilians between areas controlled by the government and those held by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), and left many commercial vehicles stranded.
Baltimore, March 28, 2008 - Lutheran World Relief is providing emergency food rations to approximately 200 children under the age of 6 who have been displaced from their homes by recent torrential rains in Sri Lanka.

The role of coastal forests in the mitigation of tsunami impacts unexpectedly became a hotly debated topic in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which ranked amongst the most devastating natural disasters in recent history. A proportion of the reconstruction and rehabilitation effort was focussed on rehabilitation of coastal forests, which early information suggested had been extensively damaged by the tsunami. Information from a range of sources also suggested that mangroves and other coastal forests mitigated the effects of the tsunami.
WASHINGTON, March 27, 2008: In support of the Government of Sri Lanka's efforts to ensure safety of the public from risks of ageing dams and manage its water resources the World Bank today approved a US$65.33 million credit for the Sri Lanka Dam Safety and Water Resources Planning Project.

COLOMBO, March 25 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's protracted and increasingly bloody civil war is making the country more vulnerable to human trafficking, a senior United Nations official said on Tuesday.
People fleeing conflict-torn areas in Sri Lanka's north and east, where fighting between Tamil Tiger rebels and state security forces has raged since 1983, opened the door to people smugglers keen to profit from the vulnerable, the United Nations said.

Hola. My name's Ted Bauer. 'Tis my blog. I write a lot about organizational behavior, leadership, management, marketing, the future of work, and other assorted topics. Recently I've been thinking that it's pretty cool that random people may stumble across this post through social media, through Google, whatever — and because I feel like I have a really specific way that I look at topics (not necessarily a good one), I'd love to connect. So if you found this post and found it interesting, get at me: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, carrier pigeon, whatever. I'd love to talk about ideas and your thoughts with you. I'm all about blogging for connection right now.
I don't follow European soccer as closely as I should, or as closely as my friends do – but I am aware of the Premier League concept of "relegation," whereby some teams fall to a lower-tier league each year based on performance. I'm sure there are numerous pros/cons to the model, as there are to what I'm about to discuss, but … on surface, it seems like not a half-bad idea. You keep the most quality teams at the highest level of sport, right? And teams that are kind of falling on hard times? They move down a peg. I almost wish college football would operate like this. In the Big Ten, for example, you generally assume Ohio State might be good each and every year — but every program has a stretch of time where they're not as good. (University of Texas might be an example right this second.) Relegate 'em, let 'em rebuild, and then they come back!
(I think that's generally how the whole thing is supposed to work.)
So I started thinking yesterday in the elevator at work: what if we did this for salaries in organizations?
Alright, let's start in the most basic place: this would never happen in the United States. There's litigation issues out the wazoo around it, I'm sure.
But think about this series of steps, right?
- How we hire people is very flawed
- How we think about hiring people is very flawed
- In most companies, it's pretty hard to fire someone
- If you combine all the elements above, that means it's fairly easy to bring someone in at around $100K, they end up being a not-as-good fit, and you're essentially stuck with them at $100K for X-amount of time
I don't think the situation above is actually that uncommon; in a way, I'm kind of describing the intersection of "The Peter Principle" and "Flawed Hiring Processes."
Alright, so then we come back to this essential question, right?
- What is work, really?
- It's basically a series of deliverables/tasks that you get compensated for, right? That's what we like to think it is.
So … if you make $100K and you're not doing what it was believed you would do when you were hired, why can't you be "relegated" to $90K for a year and be told that you have a chance to rise back up?
My biggest argument in favor here, in my own pea-sized brain, is that often the deal with "bad employees" or "employees not hitting goals" is that there are essentially three choices for the org:
- Try to make better (very infrequently happens)
- Fire (moreso, but harder)
- Ignore for longest time possible and reassign to no-ROI projects at the same pay grade (Ding Ding Ding!)
What if Option 4 was "relegate and have actual, transparent conversation with about what's happening and what it all means?"
Sorry, I just made myself laugh.
Here are the problems with my idea, of course:
- Litigation from employees
- Hard to do revenue planning/modeling if your salaries can fluctuate that much
- The "relegation" would need to be based on something tangible and performance reviews usually aren't tangible
- It's kind of management by negativity/fear, which seems bad
- People would probably flee if they thought they could lose $10-15K for an "off-year"
Alright, so it's probably a stupid idea, all told … but if given to the right kind of empathy and transparency-focused managers (LOL!), could it work?

Hi all,
I've just released 2 new packs including 1150 Vintage Vector Ornaments & Borders.
All picked from 2 legendary 19th century type foundry catalogs.
I'm very proud of this release, the quality is amazing and they are all vectorized by hand, with great attention to the details and the soul of this decorative art.
"PRINTER'S PARADISE" contains 430 frames and 179 seamless patterns, taken directly from George Bruce's Son & Co Type Catalog (1882). The seamless backgrounds are perfect for retro packaging, posters and flyers, and you'll also find hundreds of eclectic borders, corner fills and embellishments.
"LUXURIOUS FLOURISHES" is perfect for wedding invitations and certificates, with its 543 ornaments and 179 frames taken from Specimen Album catalog, by the Charles Derriey French type foundry (1862). If you need some authentic French penmanship in your life (and who doesn't?), this pack has everything you could ever want.
These packs give you the exact tools a printer would have had in the late 19th century – meaning you can mix and match frames, ornaments and backgrounds from each pack, knowing they'll work perfectly together.
I would love to hear your feedback on it!
I plan to release very soon thousands of victorian illustrations, coming from original catalogs - 1879
- Zeese's Specimens Of Electrotypes: Comprising Cuts, Borders, Initials, Ornaments...
(a very rare book, which was the foundation of a lot of type foundry illustration catalogs)
- James Conner's Electrotype Specimen - 1888

Not Evenly Distributed | Inside rebel-held Aleppo: As war continues to rage, women are finding ways to stay connected
The 20th Biennale 'Not Evenly Distributed' blog series launched with a report from rebel-held Aleppo, a city in the north of Syria, widely regarded as one of the most dangerous places on Earth. Journalist, activist and film-maker Zaina Erhaim shows how access to digital technology is providing opportunities for women, even amidst the chaos of civil war.
Om Mohammad was the first visitor to the newly opened women-only Internet cafe named 'My Space' in the rebel-held side of Aleppo city. She came with her two toddlers, Taim and Limar, to check 'how to use the Internet, and call others on Facebook', she said. She sat at one of the laptops in the basement and froze, as that was her first meeting with a computer, until the dedicated trainer started teaching her how to turn it on and begin surfing.
Like most of the women living in the conservative parts of Aleppo city, Om Mohammad is prevented by tradition from mixing with men in the satellite-Internet cafes, which are the only way to access the Internet in the war-torn city. The Assad regime has cut off all means of communication: mobile networks, the Internet and even landlines in some areas for more than three years now, so expensive satellite Internet has been the only way to be connected. This has applied yet another layer of isolation to women, significantly affecting their ability to engage with both the outside world and the community in Syria – effectively keeping them marginalised.

I welcome Barry Barnett as a Guest Blogger with his blog concerning a law firm that fell for a email that sounded too good to be true and which was really Phishing. Barry's Blawgletter provides great thoughts, and insights.
I read his blogs regularly. Over the years Barry and I have had a number of cases together and he is an outstanding lawyer. Barry is a partner at Susman Godfrey and I'm sure we will see more Guest Blogs from him in the future.
GUEST BLOG: Sucker Law Firm Loses Claim to Undo Wire Transfers
Have you gotten one of those emails that says a non-U.S. outfit has big money coming to it but somehow no one there knows any U.S. lawyers and that the sender wants you to help it get the big money? Perhaps you could advance a small sum — $10,000 perhaps — to grease the skids?
How about one of those emails that promises an up-front retainer and lots of work to bill against it?
Or one that gives your firm the privilege of holding the new client's big money with no strings other than that you'll receive a fee of X percent for your fabulous help?
Believe it or not, some folks fall for that sort of thing. And Blawgletter today feels a perverse joy in knowing that, per the Second Circuit, the law will not rescue them from their folly.
The case involved a firm that for some reason received and deposited into its account a check for $225,351, which the firm seemed to regard as partial payment of a debt to a "new client" of the firm. Shockingly, before the check officially cleared, the new client asked for almost all of the funds.
The firm's bank reported the funds as "available". And, per the new client's requests, the firm wired $182,780 and $27,895 to, er, South Korea and Canada.
On the day of the second wire, the Federal Reserve Bank returned the check for $225,351, deeming it a fake. The bank charged the firm for the total plus — and we think this hurt the most — a $10 fee for handling the return of the bad check.
The law firm sued the bank for breach of contract. It alleged that the bank should not have called the proceeds of the fake check "available" before the check had in fact cleared. But the district court granted summary judgment to the bank. The Second Circuit affirmed, noting:
The obvious flaw with [the firm's] argument is that Citibank did not advise F&M that the funds were "available for withdrawal as of right." Rather, CItibank advised only that the funds were "available," without representing that the Check had cleared or that the funds had been collected or that settlement had become final. "Available" is different from "available as of right."

The New Jersey Senate and General Assembly have passed bills phasing out the New Jersey estate tax over a period of 15 months. Beginning January 1, 2017, the estate tax exemption, currently the lowest in the nation at $675,000, will rise to $2 million. Estates of persons dying on or after January 1, 2018 will not be subject to estate tax. The Governor is expected to sign the legislation.
The New Jersey inheritance tax will remain in effect. The inheritance tax does not apply to transfers at death to a spouse, parent, child, grandchild or great-grandchild, or to a charitable organization. Tax is imposed on most other transfers.
Existing wills and trusts for most married couples include planning to minimize New Jersey estate tax. In many cases, revisions will be advisable.

Any of you who have have visited our site more than once know that we LOVE making bread & trying new variations! After making our Apple Cinnamon Raisin Rolls with Icing, I thought it would be fun to try these. I remember as a little girl eating pinwheels. Oh how I loved to unravel them & enjoy each bite. Those were the inspiration to this newest variation. And because they are so easy to make, it is fun for the kids to join in and help!
We start with our basic bread recipe. I LOVE our bread machine. I simply add the ingredients & set it on the quick dough cycle; in exactly 36 minutes I have ready dough without any fuss!
Heat oven to 175 degrees
Oil a clean kitchen counter top or a pastry sheet.
Roll out the prepared dough into a thin rectangular shape (approx 11×14 or larger).
Melt 3-4 Tblsp butter. Pour over & even spread onto rectangular layer.
Mix 1/4 cup Cinnamon & 3/4 cup sugar.
Sprinkle evenly covering the entire dough.
Roll up starting at longest width.
Pinch the long side down the seam so that it will not unravel while rising–but leave the ends open.
Cut with large non-serrated knife approximately 1 1/2 inches (depending on how large you want them….I prefer larger ones, but if we are feeding many, I will make them smaller to feed more!)
Place on cooking sheet leaving space to rise. I prefer a baking stone as it heats more evenly and does not burn on the bottom.
Allow them to rise 35-45 minutes.
Without opening the oven (as this will cause it to fall), turn up the oven to 350 degrees.
Cook approx 10-13 minutes when golden brown (alter this according to how large you cut the original dough…more time for larger rolls).
Since I use a stone, I allow the rolls to cool on the stone. It remains an even temp & does not burn. If using metal, you may need to remove rolls to a cooling rack after a few minutes out of the oven.
Once completely cooled, Add icing.
Icing:—This is my children's favorite "job." 1 cup confectionary sugar & 2 Tbls water or milk–more or less depending on desired thickness. (I prefer the icing a little more runny when doing this recipe than others, so you can see the cinnamon!) Can also add 1 tsp. vanilla if desired.
Be careful when you "try" these….it is hard to stop at just one!

I'm a list guy. I have 18 separate lists where I keep track of things to get done for different areas of my life. I have no faith that my brain will remember more than 3 things at a time, so everything else goes on a list. There is nothing that epitomizes a satisfying workday for me more than crossing off dozens of tasks.
However, my approach to lists has often gotten me in trouble in India.
How lists can fail you in India
I was in one of those meetings with my boss and a potential partner that made it seem like the biggest deal in history was ours for the taking if we only acted on it. After the partner left, I recapped for my boss all the things I would follow up on; number one being getting in touch with the partner's local contact to get things moving.
I went back to my desk and added these things to my list for the day. Once I sent the email to the local contact, I crossed it off, assuming he would send a reply.
A week went by, and my boss asked me why nothing had happened yet. I said that I had emailed the person but didn't get a reply. I assumed it was another too-good-to-be-true meeting.
The look of disappointment on my boss' face made it clear that I had not fulfilled my role. I was still in the thick of learning Indian business culture, so I asked honestly if I was supposed to follow up on every email I ever sent.
She said my job wasn't to send emails, but to get things done.
Why can't I get anything done?
Whether it is a list of items to get fixed around the house, or things that must be done before the next quarterly report, experiencing productivity in India can be a huge challenge. Certain tasks act like a squatter who makes a home on my list and invites his family and friends to come over. When I try to evict him, he claims that he owns that place on the list and refuses to leave.
Why is it that it is so rare to actually cross anything off the list permanently? Why do things keep creeping back in? Why do I feel like the same things show up over and over? Call Santosh (for the 12th time). Call the carpenter to see if he's coming (for the 7th time).
Every major task seems to have a Roadblock. An important partner who won't respond to an email. One team member who still hasn't contributed his section. A spare part you thought someone ordered never arrives.
The 10 Step Plan
After learning my lesson in the office, I came up with a ten-step plan to get things checked off a list.
Step 1: Break the task down into as many small tasks as is conceivably possible.
Step 2: Do as many of the small tasks as you can on your own, and then send an email to the person who you need to help complete the task.
Step 3: DO NOT REMOVE THE ITEM FROM YOUR LIST.
Step 4: Set a reminder to contact that person again in two days.
Step 5: Realize that a call would have been better than an email. Make a call and get them to promise to do the work.
Step 6: DO NOT REMOVE THE ITEM FROM YOUR LIST.
Step 7: Since they still have not completed the work, ask yourself "Which is the most likely reason they have not replied?"
- I have unknowingly offended this person, (#Thinskinned), or
- I don't have the status that warrants an immediate response (#PowerPlays).
If A, then invite them for tea/coffee and show that you are sincere and didn't mean anything negative.
If B, then reply with a new email, including your most senior person and his most senior person on cc.
Step 8: DO NOT REMOVE THE ITEM FROM YOUR LIST.
Step 9: If you still get no response, consider calling in some favors of friends that might have access to this person's circles. Find someone of influence who can find out the real story about why they are not responding.
Step 10: Choose one of these four options to finally get the item off your list, depending on your situation:
- Realize that this is not worth it and give up.
- Do the work yourself.
- Find a replacement person for the Roadblock.
- Give the task to someone else.
90% of the people involved will be happy if you choose A. Only you (and your boss) can tell if it is right for you. Beware of option B – it goes against #See1See100 and will likely leave you bitter with no friends. Options C and D are the best ones.
Getting an item off the to-do list and showing productivity in India can be a huge accomplishment. Celebrate when you finally complete a major project, because most people would have quit a long time ago. Be persistent. Know when it is smart to keep pushing on. If you rely on your groups and remember these tips, you should be able to bypass most of the roadblocks that come your way!

text: Late singer Aaliyah, newcomer Alicia Keys and R&B trio Destiny's Child proved to be the top winners at Wednesday night's American Music Awards, with each winning two prizes during the ceremony at L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium. Country's Tim McGraw was another double winner. Michael Jackson's on-again, off-again appearance occurred, minus the pre-recorded song he had delivered to producers. They simply decided before airtime not to run it. No excuse was given. (AMA producer Dick Clark, 72, is suing the producers of the Grammys for allegedly prohibiting artists who are to perform on the Feb. 27 Grammys from having performed at the AMA ceremony.) Receiving a standing ovation from the crowd as he was handed his artist of the century award, Jackson, 43, thanked a long list of people, including Hollywood legend Marlon Brando — "my other father" — then made a hasty exit. Keys, who earned five nominations, won for favorite new artist in both the pop/rock and soul/rhythm & blues categories. "This has been a fantastic year," Keys, 20, said on stage. Aaliyah, who died in a plane crash in August at the age of 22, beat Keys in two soul/R&B categories: favorite album ("Aaliyah") and favorite female artist. The event's co-host, Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs, 31, said backstage, according to Reuters, that Aaliyah's victories were "God's work right there."

"I think, my good Meg," said I one day, as I stood by her bed — she was now recovering with the sure reascent of youth — "that you ought to thank Miss Milly."
From the sensations I then had, I felt an inner conviction of the liveliest kind, that without some powerful and reviving stimulus I should either have died on the spot, or should at least have sunk to a point of exhaustion from which all reascent under my friendless circumstances would soon have become hopeless.
Kinnison, however, paid very little attention to the landing or to Samms 'disembarkation, and none whatever to the Chicago's reascent into the high heavens.
Lyons finished nearly the half of one before our reascent, to his sorrow, for scarcely were we off the earth before he developed a colic that seemed to interest him more, right up to the finish of the trip, than the scenery.
The whole descent and reascent is made quickly, quietly, and, if possible, only once.
He felt thankful at least that his plans called for no reascent of the hill later.
After having been on his feet twenty-four hours, in the exhausting work of mountain-climbing, Sir George began the reascent at the head of the relief party of six guides, to recover the corpse of his brother.
But either he was depressed originally below the point from which reascent was possible, or else this reaction was intercepted by continual disgust from looking back upon his own ill success; for assuredly he never once recovered that free and eloquent movement of thought which he could command at any time in a private company.
So we descended the stone steps I have already mentioned, and after descending about two hundred steps towards the foot of the mountain, made a short reascent again and entered the "dining-room," as the Babu denominated it.
'I think, my good Meg,' said I one day, as I stood by her bed -- she was now recovering with the sure reascent of youth -- 'that you ought to thank Miss
