Shikha Rani is trying her best to get some rest, now that she has arrived home in the village of Deoli in Himachal Pradesh.
The past couple of weeks have been quite hectic for the 24-year-old. Shikha was one of 90 athletes who represented India in the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Austria. And now that she is back, she has become the center of attention.
"Everyone wants to know how it was in Austria, who all she met there. They keep asking her what snow was like," says her mother, Suman.
Shikha, though, is tired. She has a sore throat because of the cold in Graz, where she competed in figure skating. But she makes an effort to answer. "Accha tha. Maine accha kiya. Sheher dekha, logon se mili." [It was good. I did well. I saw the city and met the people.]
While the team returned with a total of 73 medals -- including 37 gold, 10 silver and 26 bronze, Shikha wasn't so lucky. She finished fourth in the figure skating category. A lack of enough time on the ice skating rink didn't help her chances, but her parents are happy with the effort she put. "Shikha has trained only for three weeks on the ice and many of her competitors were training for the last three years. She did the best she could, and we are glad for it," says Suman.
While Shikha took her loss squarely, her compatriot Shubham Shokeen was apparently quite distraught about finishing fifth in his figure skating competition. "He was weeping for a couple of days in Graz. He was complaining about the refereeing," says his mother, Krishna.
The 14-year-old from Najafgarh, Delhi, however, recovered quickly from that disappointment. "He was very eager to meet everyone he could," says Krishna. And Shubham indeed made it a point to take pictures with nearly everyone he met. While the old city of Graz serves as background to many of his pictures, there is another strong theme. "He has taken pictures with a lot of the foreign athletes, especially the girls!" says Krishna, with a laugh.
But Shubham made it a point to remember his family too. "He bought me a necklace and a pair of earrings for his sister. He didn't win a medal but he wanted to get something for us from Austria," Krishna says.
Shikha too returned with gifts for her family and friends. "She brought a blanket for Sister Vincy at Prem Ashram. She got a couple of T-shirts for her sisters too," says Suman.
But Shikha has kept one thing for herself. It is the blue track suit with "India" written on the back. "She hasn't let anyone come near it," says Suman. Her daughter has made it clear that it is off bounds. When asked about it, Shikha explains. "This is mine," she says.

Transmembrane Dynamics of Lipids / Edition 1
The first and only book devoted entirely to MEMBRANE LIPID ASYMMETRY AND ITS BIOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS
Transmembrane Dynamics of Lipids is comprised of contributions from expert authors from leading research groups that present up-to-date quantitative data on the formation, stability, and biological consequences of the asymmetrical organization of lipids in cell membranes.
Incorporating an impressive amount of new, previously uncollected data, the book examines transmembrane asymmetry and movement of lipids in biological membranes, and methods for the measurement of transmembrane lipid motion, emphasizing the role of lipid flippases and discusses biological functions associated with lipid asymmetry. In addition, it draws attention to important new discoveries in the field, such as the correlation between malfunction of lipid flippases and human diseases such as thrombosis and cancer. The book also addresses the manifold methods that are used to measure the rate of transmembrane movement of lipids in biological and model systems.
The only guide to new discoveries regarding lipids in cell membranes, Transmembrane Dynamics of Lipids is designed to appeal to biophysicists, biochemists, and cellular and molecular biologists working in the growing field of membrane research.

Business guru tries to silence bloggers over 'misleading' mailshot
ASA aware and investigating
A marketing mailshot, similar to one described as misleading by the Advertising Standards Authority in April, is reappearing in British offices across the country - and bloggers who complain are getting hit with threatening legal letters.
The missive from Cardell Media looks like a handwritten envelope containing an article torn from a newspaper and a Post-It note. The note says: "David, I saw this and thought of you. This guy is brilliant. Have a look at his website". The guy in question is Chris Cardell whose website describes him "as one of the world's leading authorities on Entrepreneurial Success and Advanced Thinking".
The ASA ruled in April that a similar letter was misleading because it did not make clear it was marketing guff. The ASA told Cardell Media not to use the ad again.
But bloggers writing about any of this have been hit with cease and desist notices from Cardell's US lawyers. The threatening letter is enough for most to remove their posts - a quick Google will reveal various missing stories, some still cached by the search giant.
One such letter seen by the Reg claims copyright over any use of the name Chris Cardell and warns about "your website's post 'Junk Mail by Chris Cardell' which unlawfully infringes upon the intellectual property of rights of the Cardell Media Family".
The letter, sent from San Diego lawyers Preovolos & Associates, demands that posts mentioning Cardell be removed and no further postings made.
A spokesman for the ASA told us that it was well aware that Cardell Media was ignoring its earlier ruling.
He said: "We've not had complaints but our investigators do follow up to check companies are following our rulings. We're working with various partners to try and get this stopped.
"We can also look at other sanctions - like getting their mass mailing discounts removed and work with other regulators and trade bodies."
We've emailed and left messages at Cardell Media with no success.
The ASA ruling is here.
Thank you to Garve Scott-Lodge from Plexus Media for the tip-off. ®

New York City aims to slim down kid's meals, with toys
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — New York City wants to put the Happy Meal on a diet.
The McDonald's kids meals, as well as those from Burger King and Wendy's, are in the cross hairs of the New York City Council, which is considering restrictions on any fast food meals that includes a toy.
Councilman Benjamin Kallos introduced a "Healthy Happy Meals" bill Thursday that requires them to have no more than 500 calories and 600 milligrams of sodium.
Additionally, less than 35% of those calories should come from fat, less than 10% from saturated fats and less than 10% from sugar. The meals will also have to contain a serving of fruit, vegetables or whole grains.
"It is difficult enough for parents to give their children healthy food without the fast food industry spending hundreds of millions of dollars per year advertising to children, and nearly half of that on toys," said Kallos in a press release. "If restaurants are going to incentivize children, they should incentivize them to eat healthy."
The New York City Department of Health says that half of the city's elementary school children are overweight, Kallos added, and cites a report from the Federal Trade Commission that found the fast food industry spent $714 million on marketing to children in 2009.
The bill has to be approved by the city council's health committee, then the city council and will go to Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Of the three Happy Meals on the McDonald's online menu, only one – the Chicken McNugget meal – adheres to the bill's proposed guidelines, with 415 calories, 550 milligrams of sodium and a serving of apples. The other meals featuring cheeseburgers or hamburgers, exceed the calorie and sodium limits. The cheeseburger alone contains 680 milligrams of sodium, bringing the meal's total to 880 milligrams.
McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
San Francisco imposed similar restrictions on Happy Meals in 2011. But McDonald's sidestepped the ban by changing its policy to only provide toys with meals at the request of parents, and charging them an extra ten cents.

JERUSALEM — Former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's health deteriorated sharply Thursday and he was in "grave condition" with his family by his bedside, the hospital treating him announced.
Sharon, who has been in a coma since suffering a stroke eight years ago, experienced a setback last week with a decline in his kidneys and other key bodily organs.
The Sheba Medical Center called his condition "grave" but gave no further details.
Sharon, one of Israel's most controversial and iconic figures, suffered the stroke at the height of his political power.
Sharon's career stretched across most of Israel's 65-year history.
As one of Israel's most famous generals, he was known for bold tactics and an occasional refusal to obey orders. As a politician, he became known as "the bulldozer" — contemptuous of his critics while also capable of getting things done.
He engineered Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and lost his job as defense minister after an Israeli-allied Christian militia killed hundreds of Palestinians at refugee camps in west Beirut, sparking international outrage.
Sharon managed to slowly rehabilitate his political career. For years, he was a driving force in the movement to build settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, captured areas claimed by the Palestinians for a future state.
First elected prime minister in 2001, he led a tough crackdown against a Palestinian uprising, a bout of violence in which more than 3,000 Palestinians and 1,000 Israelis were killed. He remains reviled in much of the Arab world.
But in a dramatic about-face, Sharon led Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, uprooting all soldiers and settlers from the seaside strip after a 38-year military occupation.
The Gaza withdrawal led Sharon to break away from the hard-line Likud Party and form the centrist Kadima Party. His new party was cruising toward victory in 2006 parliamentary elections when he suffered his stroke.

I was diagnosed with HIV when I was 13. So when I met Joe, I was worried about how he would react when I told him -- he might leave all together. A prior relationship had ended up in total disaster after I disclosed. He told his ex-wife and she threw it in my face in a very vindictive way. He wasn't as ugly about it as she was but said that he couldn't carry on with someone who would "soon be dying an awful death." I tried to salvage the relationship and offered support by answering his questions, but he wasn't open to any of it. We parted ways and went on with our lives.
When Joe and I started dating we always had safer sex, until after about three weeks he got sneaky and took off the condom without telling me. I didn't realize it until after sex, so I asked him and he denied it. I felt he was not being honest and he finally admitted he didn't like condoms and didn't want to wear them. That's when I told him that I was HIV positive and asked how that made him feel. He was very curious about how I faced the challenges of living with HIV. We talked for hours, cried, and held each other for the rest of the night. We haven't let go since. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. He said it didn't make any difference to him and that he would love me unconditionally. In fact he feels like we have a stronger bond now, because I have accepted all of his flaws now he can accept one of mine. We were married almost a year ago.
I have always wanted to practice safer sex but Joe absolutely disagrees. My doctor of course recommended the same but left the decision entirely up to us. I have always been a non-progressor and haven't had the need to be on meds, except when I was pregnant with my daughter. But since Joe refuses to use a condom, I'm staying on the meds to lower the risk of transmission. We also discussed side effects of the medications and the need for me to see a doctor. Joe said it would set his mind at ease if I was in regular care. I felt the opposite, because I had always been really healthy and never needed much care. On top of that, I didn't have health insurance. But luckily there are programs here in Colorado that help with drug coverage and provide health insurance to people with low incomes.
Joe has been tested but says like he doesn't feel like getting tested anymore -- although he will in the future. He says he feels closer to me now than ever and that he will always feel this way. He's told me on a few occasions that I better not get sick on him.
But he has not told any family or friends, out of fear they won't understand and will think less of us. He feels this is something the two of us are capable of dealing with ourselves and that with the amazing HIV drugs out today we can manage to live healthy and productive lives together. He has often told me that it's he and I against the world and those who don't like it can go somewhere ...
When we decided to try and get pregnant, we chose to do it naturally because Joe thought it would be silly to do something like artificial insemination since we're not having protected sex anyways. There wasn't too much discussion with my doctor about it. He did talk with us about the risk factors and that the fact that I was on HIV medications lowered the risk of transmission. He also suggested that my husband get tested every three to six months. One doctor was a little surprised that I was the one who wanted to continue to practice safer sex and that Joe was the one who didn't.
Having been in the HIV field for several years as a care manager and client advocate, I had gone through multiple trainings about HIV therapy. So I knew what precautions had to be taken and educated Joe about them. I did however bring him with me to a few trainings that the Children's Human Immunodeficiency Program (CHIP) at our hospital hosted on how to go about getting pregnant and having an HIV-negative child. We looked up things online together, like information about the medications and their side effects. I signed up very early to participate in studies through the CHIP clinic that monitor my health, the growth of my baby, and the effects of drugs before, during, and after pregnancy, just as I had done while I was pregnant with my daughter ten years ago. So we didn't have any issues with getting pregnant without condoms and didn't feel the need to talk to other couples about their experiences trying to get pregnant.
Our sex life is still as strong as when we met two years ago. Of course with me being eight months pregnant, I am tired and physically drained, so sex is the last thing on my mind. Joe also feels like he may hurt the baby and is very nervous about becoming a father -- he's stressed about how he will perform once our son arrives. One concern that I know weighs heavy on his mind is whether our son will be HIV negative and healthy. We've both been counseled by the hospital staff and know that as long as my viral load remains undetectable our son will be fine, but there's always a chance. My ten-year-old daughter is negative -- she was born with Down's syndrome and other health issues but HIV is not one of them.
We hope that our son, who is due on July 19th, will be born HIV negative and will live a long healthy life -- we're dedicated to giving our all to him.

When Lion's Mail Inbox is set to "Organize by Conversation", an odd behavior often occurs. If I hit Reply to the latest email from my correspondent, the recipient in the new email is me, not this correspondent.
I'm aware that any of the emails in the Conversation can be individually highlighted (seen as a blue line around that email), and that if this blue line is around one of the correspondent's emails, hitting Reply definitely sets the new email to be sent to this correspondent. However, if nothing is blue-highlighted, and I hit Reply, the new email is set to be sent to... me. Which of course isn't the objective.
Whew, that was harder to explain than the issue, but I hope my question is clear!

As part of our regular Quality Assurance control, the IBM® Sametime® United Telephony (SUT) Systems Verification Test (SVT) team executes reliability tests on SUT environments. This article describes the process used internally within IBM to generate test users for reliability test cases.
We describe how to provision 15,000 users for a SUT workload. These users need to be created in the LDAP after which the IBM Tivoli® Directory Integrator (TDI) process is used to generate importFiles which are used in the SUT Common Management Portal (CMP) console.
Adding users in LDAP
Generate users DN
For this example we are using Tivoli Directory Server 6.2 as our LDAP server.
1. First, we need to create the base DN (domain name) where users' data will be stored; in this case, the ldif file 852_819OC_DN.ldif was created (see figure 1).
Figure 1. ldif file with users' DN
2. Use the following command to generate a DN:
ldifde -a cn=myLDAPUser myLDAPpassword -s ldapFQDN -i -f "852_819OC_DN.ldif"
3. Look for the following log messages to confirm that the import operation completed successfully:
Importing directory from file "852_819OC_DN.ldif"
Lazy commit support not available on the server, lazy commit will be disabled.
Loading entries......
5 entries modified successfully.
The command has completed successfully
The LDAP GUI reflects that new records were created (see figure 2).
Figure 2. Users' DN in LDAP GUI
Generating ldif file with users' details
1. Using your preferred tool/script, create an ldif file similar to the one illustrated below (with 15,000 users); entries should be of the format:
dn: uid=testUser8190000,cn=testUsers 819,l=Dublin,c=IE,ou=SUT,o=My Test Org,dc=ibm,dc=com
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: person
objectclass: top
givenname: testUser8190000
sn: testUser8190000
cn: testUser8190000
uid: testUser8190000
mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
telephoneNumber: +35318190000
homePhone: +35316030000
userPassword: {SHA}...
dn: uid=testUser8190001,cn=testUsers 819,l=Dublin,c=IE,ou=SUT,o=My Test Org,dc=ibm,dc=com
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: person
objectclass: top
givenname: testUser8190001
sn: testUser8190001
cn: testUser8190001
uid: testUser8190001
mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
telephoneNumber: +35318190001
homePhone: +35316030001
userPassword: {SHA}...
2. When the file is ready, execute the following command to begin the import:
ldifde -a cn=myLDAPUser myLDAPpassword -s ldapFQDN -i -f "852_819OC_users.ldif"
The following messages confirm that the import was successful:
10000 entries modified successfully.
The command has completed successfully
This can also be confirmed in the LDAP GUI (see figure 3).
Figure 3. LDAP users created
Create a group
The next step is to create a group in the LDAP:
1. First prepare the ldif file as shown in the example in figure 4.
Figure 4. Sample ldif for group creation
2. When the file is ready, execute the following command for the import:
ldifde -a cn=myLDAPUser myLDAPpassword -s ldapFQDN -i -f "groupFile.ldif"
Figure 5 shows the group created in the LDAP GUI.
Figure 5. Group in LDAP GUI
Confirm users in the IBM Sametime Connect client
We should now be able to log in to the IBM Sametime Connect client using one of the imported users, as shown in figure 6.
Figure 6. User logged in to Lotus Sametime Connect
We are ready now to provision SUT subscribers.
Adding subscribers with the TDI
Installing TDI
First, we need to install TDI and the provisioning project. If the Telephony Application Server (TAS) has been installed using the ./install.sh all command, then all required files are already installed since the All option includes the TDI and the provisioning project assembly lines.
If TDI is not installed in the TAS server then use the following command:
./install.sh provisioning
Prepare setting.xml
Update the setting.xml file, located in cd /opt/IBM/tivoli/tdi/solutions/SUT/, renaming the first template file:
cp settings.xml.template settings.xml
Figure 7 shows and example of a setting.xml file configured to provision TAS users using previously created LDAP records.
Figure 7. Sample setting.xml file
In the above file, we use addCFWD_2.js. It's a simple script:
$ cat scripts/addCFWD_2.js
var deskPhone = retrieveAttribute("homePhone");
return "900" + deskPhone;
Initial provisioning process
Now we are ready to run the initial provisioning process, which will create an output CSV file of subscriber data:
/opt/IBM/tivoli/tdi/solutions/SUT # ./initial.sh
Executing Initial User Provisioning ...
Total users found: 10000
Total users added: 10000
Total users skipped: 0
As a result, the file output/GrouptestUsers819.csv is generated, to be used in the CMP.
Before starting the user provisioning process, the setting.xml file must be prepared, which can be a time-consuming task that you may wish to run in batches. Each execution of the provisioning process retrieves user information from a data source.
The number of retrieved users can be changed in the config/SUTParameters.properties file by changing the value of the
parameter. It's strongly recommended to set this param to some small number while testing settings in the setting.xml file.
For more details on this process, refer to the product documentation topic, "
Adding subscribers with the Tivoli Directory Integrator
Changing CMP before importing
Before we start importing the CSV file, we need to make some changes in the CMP.
Add local office code
To do this:
Log in to CMP as Administrator.
Navigate to Telephony Control Server --- Global Translation and Routing --- Directory Numbers --- Office Codes.
Add a new Local Office Code, as shown in figure 8.
Figure 8. Add Office Code window
Define new Destination Code
To do this:
In the CMP navigate to Telephony Control Server --- Business Group --- Translation --- Destination Codes.
Add the Destination Code as shown in figure 9.
Figure 9. Add destination code
Import users
CSV file generated in previous step can be imported in CMP:
1. In CMP, navigate to Operation & Maintenance --- Recovery --- Import & Export --- Import (see figure 10).
Figure 10. Import function in CMP
2. Select a file to import; click Next (see figure 11).
Figure 11. Import – Step 1 window
3. The next window displays a warning message; this is the default message when provisioning more than 1000 users into the system.
Figure 12. Warning window when importing over 1000 users
The Latest Job Status window confirms the import was successful (see figure 13).
Figure 13. Latest Job Status window
4. Per the warning message, after import is completed, restart the system.
Test SUT functionality in Sametime Connect client
The SUT functionality should now be available in the IBM Sametime Connect client, as shown in figure 14.
Figure 14. SUT devices available in Sametime Connect
Test a two-way call, as shown in figure 15.
Figure 15. Calling another user in Sametime Connect
Figure 16 shows that the two-way call was successful.
Figure 16. Successful two-way call
The SUT Client is installed automatically with any Sametime Connect client. However, the SUT client plug-ins remain hidden until the administrator adds the user as a SUT subscriber and the enableSUT preference is set to true in the plugin_customization.ini file (installed with the client):
Having read this article you should now have a better understanding of how to:
Generate a ldif file containing your SUT subscribers.
Create a SUT subscriber group.
Install the required TDI with your TAS server and provision users from your LDAP records.
Make configuration changes to the Office Codes, Local Office Code for the imported users.
Import users from a CSV file in the CMP.
Test that the imported users have been provisioned correctly in the Sametime Connect client.

MasterCard Renews, Enhances Alliance With Arnold Palmer, PGA Tour
By Barry Janoff
March 21, 2012: MasterCard has signed a deal with the PGA Tour and Arnold Palmer to continue and also expand its role as lead sponsor of the Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard.
Financial terms of the four-year deal, which runs through the 2016 tournament, were not revealed. Proceeds from the tournament will continue to benefit Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies.
MasterCard has been presenting sponsor of the Arnold Palmer Invitational since 2004 and a sponsor of the PGA Tour and Champions Tour since 1995.
Other event marketing partners include Coca-Cola, Hertz, Publix, Loew's Hotel and Buffalo Wild Wings.
Tiger Woods is expected to participate in this key event prior to the 2012 Masters after withdrawing in the final round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship on March 11 due to what he called soreness in his left Achilles tendon. Woods has won the Arnold Palmer Invitational six times since 2000.
MasterCard is supporting with print in the official tournament program, social media interaction including Twitter and a dedicated Facebook page, on-site signage and event activation including a Priceless Moments tent that houses photos and memorabilia featuring Palmer. Among the perks for MasterCard holders are access to the MasterCard Club, exclusive viewing platforms on the 6th hole and 18th fairway and discounts on concessions and Tournament merchandise.
As added Incentive for the 2012 Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard, being held this week at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club in Orlando, MasterCard has issued a challenge to its pro golf endorsers entered in the event. Should any of them win the tournament, MasterCard said it would make an additional $200,000 donation to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies in their name.
"In the first nine years of our partnership, MasterCard has helped raise more than $1.8 million that have directly impacted Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children."
"While golf is a true passion for many of our cardholders, we've experienced first-hand the impact this tournament has on families across the southeast," Chris McWilton, president, U.S. Markets for MasterCard, said in a statement. "Every day, we look for ways to create stronger connections with consumers, while providing them with priceless experiences and memories. As we continue our sponsorship, we'll have an ability to continue to deliver on this promise and create greater affection for the tournament and for our products."
According to Palmer, "Throughout the first nine years of our partnership, MasterCard has helped raise more than $1.8 million that have directly impacted Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. I am looking forward to continuing our partnership over the next four years to deliver a world-class event for our players and fans, while continuing to support the hospitals."
The first two rounds, March 22-23, will air on the Golf Channel; the final two rounds, March 24-25, on NBC. The 2011 defending champion is Martin Laird.

Feb. 12, 1928 – July 24, 2013
Rev. Jose A. Roman, an influential figure in the local Puerto Rican and Pentecostal communities, died Wednesday. He was 85.
Born into a family of 12 children in Las Piedras, Puerto Rico, Mr. Roman came to Buffalo in 1969. Here, his ministry as a religious leader extended to many Hispanic congregations within the Pentecostal faith. Along with his wife, Emilia, also an ordained minister, he was pastor of Iglesia Cristiana Bethel on the city's West Side.
Mr. Roman affiliated with the Council of Assembly and Christian Churches to help establish churches across New York State and as far away as Toronto.
His ministry extended well beyond the four walls of the churches he led. Upon arriving in Western New York, he worked to establish Christian radio programming on WDCX and opened the area's first Spanish Christian bookstore.
Mr. Roman also served in a variety of secular roles. He was a school aide at Grover Cleveland High School and worked for the state Employment Office.
He was also a founding member of the West Side branch of the Community Action Organization.
Despite his limited English, Mr. Roman succeeded in obtaining his real estate license and went on to help establish New Hope Real Estate, an organization that serves Hispanic first-time homeowners in the city.
Mr. Roman's seven children were among his greatest joys in life. Many of them followed in his footsteps, becoming ministers or leaders in their communities.
In 2010, his daughter the Rev. Delia Knox regained her ability to walk 22 years after a car accident en route to a mission trip in Canada left her using a wheelchair.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by a son, Jose Jr.; six daughters, Dr. MervinCapeles, Dmaris Crespo, the Rev. Enid Mojica-McGinnis, the Rev. Delia Knox, Yvette and Dr. Persida Himmele; and a sister, Maria Rodriguez.
Services will be offered at 1 p.m. today in Destiny Church, 172 15th St.

Eating raw shellfish, especially oysters, may put you at risk for
hepatitis A.
Bivalves such as oysters and clams filter large amounts of water when
feeding. If shellfish are living in water that has been contaminated with stool
containing the hepatitis A virus, the shellfish may carry the virus. People
then may get it when they eat the raw or undercooked shellfish.
Raw shellfish also may carry other viruses and bacteria that can make
people sick.
Not everyone who eats contaminated raw oysters or other raw shellfish
will become sick. But to reduce the chance of getting sick, make sure that
shellfish have been cooked thoroughly.

The CFP® certification process, administered by CFP Board, identifies to the public that those individuals who have been authorized to use the CFP® certification marks in the U.S. have met rigorous professional standards and have agreed to adhere to the principles of honesty, integrity, competence and diligence when dealing with clients.
Upcoming Exam Dates: November 5-12, 2019
Education Verification Deadline: Oct. 9, 2019.
Registration for the November 2019 CFP® Exam is Open.
Late Registration for the November 2019 exam closes October 22, 2019.
Learn About the CFP® Exam
Clarissa Hobson, CFP®, Senior Financial Planning Advisor, Carnick & Kubik, is interviewed about the credibility she gained by becoming a CFP® professional.
Need advice, have a question, or looking for support on your path to CFP® certification? Take part in a dynamic conversation with other candidates in a convenient community site.
Join the discussion today!
CFP Board conducted a nationwide consumer survey among upper-income households. That survey reflects the public's growing demand for financial planners who adhere to rigorous standards. Of those surveyed:
CFP® professionals must pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination, pass CFP Board's Fitness Standards for Candidates and Professionals Eligible for Reinstatement, agree to abide by CFP Board's Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct which put clients' interests first and comply with the Financial Planning Practice Standards which spell out what clients should be able to reasonably expect from the financial planning engagement. These are just some of the reasons why the CFP® certification is becoming increasingly recognized.
In addition, the CFP® certification prepares you for a career-long commitment to meeting the ever-changing needs of your clients. As a CFP® professional, you become a coach and problem-solver, able to provide truly personalized services to clients and to maintain high levels of financial planning and professionalism. Finally, your expertise and credibility as a financial planner is instantly communicated with the CFP® marks - the financial planning certification most sought after by consumers and financial planners alike.
Our online CFP® Certification Tracker tool helps you see at a glance your progress toward CFP® certification and how to take your next steps. Learn more »
To become certified, you are required to meet the following initial certification requirements (known as the four "Es"):
The first step to CFP® certification is to acquire the knowledge required to deliver professional, competent and ethical financial planning services to clients, as outlined in the major personal financial planning topic areas identified by CFP Board's most recent Job Analysis Study (See the list of Principal Topics). CFP Board's coursework component requires the completion of a college-level program of study in personal financial planning, or an accepted equivalent (through Accelerated Path or Transcript Review), including completion of a financial plan development (capstone) course registered with CFP Board. You must also have earned a bachelor's degree (or higher) from an accredited college or university in order to obtain CFP® certification. The bachelor's degree requirement is a condition of initial certification; however, it is not a requirement to be eligible to take the CFP® Certification Examination and does not need to be met before registering for the examination. CFP Board does not grant equivalencies or exceptions to the bachelor's degree education requirement.
After you have successfully met the education coursework requirement, you will be eligible to register for the CFP® Certification Examination. The CFP® Certification Examination assesses your ability to apply your financial planning knowledge, in an integrated format, to financial planning situations (See the Principal Knowledge Topics). Combined with the education, experience, and ethics requirements, it assures the public that you have met a level of competency appropriate for professional practice.
Because CFP® certification indicates to the public your ability to provide financial planning without supervision, CFP Board requires you to have 6,000 hours of experience through the Standard Pathway, or 4,000 hours of experience through the Apprenticeship pathway that meets additional requirements. Qualifying experience may be acquired through a variety of activities and professional settings including personal delivery, supervision, direct support, indirect support or teaching.
CFP® professionals agree to adhere to the high standards of ethics and practice outlined in CFP Board's Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct and to acknowledge CFP Board's right to enforce them through its Disciplinary Rules and Procedures. When you have completed the education, examination and experience components of the CFP® certification process, you will be directed to complete a CFP® Certification Application on which you will be asked to disclose information about your background, including your involvement in any criminal, civil, governmental, or self-regulatory agency proceeding or inquiry, bankruptcy, customer complaint, filing, termination/internal reviews conducted by your employer or firm. CFP Board conducts a detailed background check for all candidates, including review of any disclosures made on the CFP® Certification Application. Matters that may or will bar you from obtaining certification are investigated in accordance with CFP Board's Disciplinary Rules and Procedures. Authorization to use the CFP® marks will not be approved until the background check and any investigation are concluded successfully.
Applicants for CFP® certification are required to satisfy CFP Board's Fitness Standards for Candidates and Professionals Eligible for Reinstatement, which describe conduct that will always bar an individual from becoming certified and conduct that is presumed to be unacceptable and will bar an individual from becoming certified unless the individual successfully petitions CFP Board's Disciplinary and Ethics Commission for consideration. CFP Board encourages all individuals pursuing CFP® certification to review the Fitness Standards for Candidates and Professionals Eligible for Reinstatement before addressing the other certification requirements.
Once you have been authorized to use the CFP® marks, you must meet CFP Board's renewal standards to continue to use them.
The renewal requirements include the following:
Pay the annual $355 certification fee (non-refundable);
Submit a properly completed certification application (every two years); and
Complete 30 hours of continuing education (CE) accepted by CFP Board every two years.
The CE requirement includes 28 hours in the accepted financial planning content areas and 2 hours of CFP Board approved ethics CE. Your renewal deadline will generally coincide with the month of your birth, and the initial continuing education (CE) requirement and renewal fee are prorated.
The certification fee, in conjunction with other sources of revenue including exam fees, supports the operations of CFP Board in fulfilling its mission and objectives. Some of these activities include protection of the CFP® certification marks; enforcement of CFP Board's Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct; educating the public about the CFP® marks; and development and administration of the CFP® Certification Examination.

Renewal reminders will be sent to you beginning approximately four months before your certification expires.

Today is the official launch day for Final Fantasy XIV Collector's Edition purchasers, and since we technically count in that group, we're giving folks who opted to purchase the normal edition a glimpse of what they're missing.
Of course, the main draw of the Collector's Edition is the one week head start on everyone else, which I'll also be taking advantage of as I begin my four week journey through the world of Eorzea leading up to our final review of the game. Check back every week for new gameplay logs so you can see how much FFXIV I've played in order to come to the conclusions I eventually come to.
Until then, here's some expert box opening.

A sister-city agreement between Greater Kaohsiung and the Maldivian capital, Male, was declared invalid by the Maldivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday, one day after the pact was signed.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs official in Taipei yesterday said it was the first time a local government's efforts to establish sister-city ties with a foreign city had been thwarted due to apparent pressure from China.
The Greater Kaohsiung Government has not yet responded to the Maldivian statement, posted on the Web site of the Maldivian ministry, which said that the government of the Maldives "does not recognize the memorandum of understanding."
The government reaffirms its commitment and support to China's national unity and to the "one China" policy, the statement said.
The Maldives' firm belief in the "one China" policy is guided by the principles of respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and non-interference in the internal affairs of states and it considers Taiwan an integral part of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the statement said.
China is a very important development partner for the Maldives and the government of the Maldives will continue to work with the PRC government to strengthen the close ties of friendship and cooperation that exist between the two countries, the statement said.
The signing ceremony was held on Sunday, just hours after a delegation of Greater Kaohsiung Government officials led by Kaohsiung Deputy Mayor Liu Shih-fang (劉世芳) arrived in Male for the four-day visit. The main purpose of trip was to sign the agreement.
The delegation is scheduled to return home tomorrow.
A Greater Kaohsiung Government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to speak to reporters, said the idea for the sister-city link was proposed by Male Mayor Maizan Ali Maniku when he visited Greater Kaohsiung in November last year.
Ali Maniku and his delegation were interested in learning about Kaohsiung's experience in promoting sustainable development, the official said.
Ali Maniku met with Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu (陳菊) and they decided to become sister cities to forge a partnership on sustainable development, the official said. The two sides had discussions that led to the signing of the agreement covering urban infrastructure, tourism, the environment and the social and cultural arenas, she said.
Greater Kaohsiung was the first city in the nation to become a formal municipal member of Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI), which was founded in 1990 as the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives.
The ICLEI designated Greater Kaohsiung as one of its seven mentor cities in May last year in recognition of its achievements in promoting sustainable development.
At last year's ICLEI World Congress, Greater Kaohsiung was assigned to mentor Male and help it facilitate sustainability.
A press release from the Greater Kaohsiung Government said the delegation had shared with its hosts the city's experience in drainage pipeline network management, waste disposal, offshore submerged breakwaters, plant diseases and pest control, and solar power development. The delegation also conducted a field study of Male's construction of a rainwater sewer system, erosion-prone sea embankment and how it deals with waste disposal and processes raw kitchen waste, the press release said.

Well sense we don't have a honda section I thaught I would put this in the Dodge section because I am trying to stop having to drive the dodge everyday.
Some background. The clutch and water pump when in my civic so while I had the engine out I replaced the rings and bearings so the entire engine was apart. I very carefully put everything back together and then attempted the first start. No go. So I started checking my work. Double checked TDC timing and verified that I was getting spark and fuel to the fuel rail. Everything seems fine. I then realized that the cylinders are still dry with no fuel after a few attempts to start. It seems that the fuel injectors are not firing. I have checked all the injectors and they are receiving 12 volts with the key on and resistance across them is within speck however they are not spitting fuel when cranking.
Any help with what to look at and test next would be greatly appreciated I don't want to fail at my first rebuild because I can't get the darn thing started. Thanks in advance.

With a reduced weight the harness 037 is essential to face sport routes.
This set is made with an EVA foam padding and breathable PES fabric with high resistance to abrasion. This makes this state-of-the-art harness the ideal companion to meet new challenges.
|Weight (g)
In grams, the weight, as stated by the manufacturer/brand.
If there are differences in weight (due to multiple sizes or optional accessories) we'll list them here.
The default weight is the middle-most size, often this is size M.
| 330 g
|Gear Loops
Number of Gear Loops
Gear loops are used to hold gear (quickdraws, cams, etc) onto your harness. 4 gear loops is most common.
0 - 1 Gear Loops
Most often on full body harnesses or guide/gym style harnesses.
2-3 Gear Loops
Mostly found on lighter harnesses made for [ski] mountaineering or high-end sport climbing where weight is a high priority.
4 - 5 Gear Loops
The standard/most common number for climbing harnesses. Perfect for sport and trad.
More Than 6 Gear Loops
Designed for long multi-pitch and big wall climbing, found on harnesses made to hold the maximum amount of gear.
Worth Considering
Occasionally, the number of gear loops will change on a harness model depending on the size. There could be 7 gear loops for the med/large but only 5 gear loops for the xsmall/small. In this case we list the highest number for the filters, and then write an explanation on the product page like, "Size S/XS can only fit 5 gear loops."
|4 Gear loops
|Ice Clip Slots
Ice Clip Slot
Ice clipper slots are made to fit a carabiner that holds ice screws. These slots are generally only used by ice climbers but there is no disadvantage to having them on your harness.
Less than 40% of harnesses will have ice clipper slots. And those harnesses will usually have 2 or 4 slots, often located next to, or between, the gear loops.
|Belay / Tie-In
|One Loop
|Waist Buckle Type
|Quick Adjust
|Leg Buckle Type
|Quick Adjust
|Drop Seat
|Haul Loop
Haul Loop
Trad climbers often look for a haul loop as they're intended to haul a rope (second line) or pack (while you climb the chimney).
A haul loop can also hold shoes or other accessories. Although not the intended use, it is also commonly used to hold a chalk bag.

The saga for the young 18 year old french striker continues as Arsenal has pulled out of the deal for Kylian Mbappe (A deal that was reaching €120m) With Real Madrid chasing last years Ligue 1 star. L'Equipe published that the fee has been agreed on at €180m + €20m for objectives, if all is true Mbappe will become the most expensive transfer in the world of football at such a young age. Overtaking another French player Paul Pogba when he transfered from Juventus to Manchester United for €105m back in 2016
BBC reports that Inter Milan will discuss all bids thrown for Ivan Perisic.
Ivan Perisic had a fantastic season at Inter and with that came interest from many top dogs in the English Premier League including Manchester United. Once reported as a done deal for the Reds now it seems that it's anything but DONE. As it is said Inter will consider the offers clubs are willing to throw to secure the services of the heavily contested Croatian winger.
Swansea City see their €17m bid for OGC Nice midfielder Jean-Michaël Seri rejected. Arsenal and Spurs now on the prowl according to L'Equipe.
Swansea tried to pull a fast one on Seri, the midfielder had a very solid season in Ligue 1, but their ambitions came crashing down as Nice refused to let the player go for what they considered a low ammount. Guess you could say they didn't take the offer very "seri-ously". The rejection of the bid sparked the interest of two other english teams Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur but with no further information if any bid was placed in.
More news to come later in the day, hope you guys enjoy this tiny read.

[Update: Be Sure To Check out our Dexter Season 5 Premiere Review!]
As the fourth season of Dexter comes to a close, fans are going into the finale knowing two things; (A) Something crazy is going to happen and (B) We have no idea what that crazy thing is. I have a feeling that neither our preview of the finale nor our spoiler post will prepare fans for what's to come.
Sure, by now all of you probably know the twist involving Deb and her revelation about her adopted brother's connection to not only Harry's past, but also her own. Still, the fact that we know that going into the 52-minute finale has me believing that Deb's revelation is just the tip of the iceberg – or in this case, ice pick.
We've got Dexter facing off against Trinity, Deb snooping around Harry's past, Quinn dealing with the suicide of his girlfriend (who might still be alive) and Trinity's daughter, Christine. There's also Trinity's family, Rita and the kids, Masuka and don't forget about Batista and Laguerta's nuptials from last week's episode.
If there's one thing I've learned from the season finale of Dexter, it's to expect nothing. I should have known that a show which has been able to continuously reinvent itself would leave nothing on the table and that's exactly what happen with this season finale.
So much happened within the first 20 minutes that my mind was unable to absorb it all. I literally had to watch the episode twice as I was riding such a wave of intensity that lasted until the last five minutes of the show. As I finally calmed down, that feeling didn't last long as the seasons big reveal had, unbeknownst to me, not yet happened… but we'll get to that later.
There's no way any show other than Dexter could have pulled off the entire "bad day" chain of events and make it believable. Dexter Morgan is always so in control of his emotions with his methodical way of living - which is great for building tension - but in this instance it was a pleasant surprise to see his character having to quickly deal with things that just didn't go his way.
I'm not going to lie, this was a near perfect episode. I have no doubt that we'll see many Emmy awards because of this season and particularly this episode. Still, there were some things that I'd like to nit-pick: I wasn't really feeling Deb's whole reveal to Dexter. I'm not sure if she wanted to tell him because she was being a kind sister or because she was angry, but something about it felt a little "wrong place, wrong time."
There's also the whole "we're taking the case from you" with the FBI walking in. Sure, it's probably realistic on some level, but it felt more like an easy way to tie up loose ends, and free up the team for whatever or whoever is the "big bad" next season. Also, what happened to the whole Batista and Laguerta storyline? There was a quick mention of their marriage, but that's it.
Let's move on to Trinity. For the entire season he has been an extremely menacing individual. On par with any bad guy you could think of and while I so enjoyed Dexter revealing himself as the one to have taken his oil cap, I felt the actual killing was a bit odd and unfulfilling. I'm not sure what it was, maybe it was the banter between the two or Trinity's odd mannerisms about wanting the train to be on, but something just wasn't playing right to me. Also, Dexter using the claw hammer as a murder weapon was literally frightening. The moment he flipped the hammer around and swung made me wonder if had "crossed over."
Now, it's time to talk about the last 3 minutes of the show. I think "wow" would be my response. I know that's what I would have said if my jaw wasn't open so wide. I know that fans have been against Rita for a while and have wanted her killed, but I believe Rita adds the humanity that Dexter needs not only as a person, but as a show. Without her, he would just go along with his crazy rules talking to his dead father in the back seat (quite talkative he was this episode). I just don't know what to think. Oh, it was a twist – a big one—and I'll take all the blame for screwing up the spoiler and misinterpreting what executive producer, Clive Phillips, had said, I just don't know how I feel about it - not until I see what they do with it next season.
Still, throughout the entire episode I was so enthralled and stressed out that you would have thought it was my life or at least real life, not just a scripted drama. Although, I would say those words could also be used to describe Dexter… "not just a scripted drama." With a 12-episode season, Dexter has to consistently deliver such a strong story that viewers will not stray during the long breaks between seasons.
…and deliver, it has.
Enough of me, what did you think of the episode? Enjoy the "twist" at the end? Hate me for screwing up one of the spoilers? Since Showtime has already ordered a fifth season, what do you see in store for Dexter? What could they do to top this?
UPDATE: Still have questions about the twist ending? Now there are answers (including confirmation of a misstep by the showrunners): Go HERE.

Marine unleashed profane tirade in trooper's cruiser, FHP says
Trooper says man hit head, screamed obscenities
The same Florida Highway Patrol trooper involved in the arrest of an anesthesiologist who repeatedly banged his head in the back seat of the trooper's car, faced an almost identical situation this past weekend but this time, it involved a local Marine.
According to the arrest affidavit, last Friday morning around 2:30 a.m. a trooper pulled over Andrew Rocker, a 23-year-old Marine from Chuluota. The trooper says he observed Rocker driving 90 mph on State Road 408 and weaving in and out of traffic.
The trooper said Rocker smelled of alcohol and failed a field sobriety test, so he was arrested on charges of driving under the influence.
After Rocker was placed in the back of the trooper's cruiser, the trooper says Rocker started cursing and screaming at him.
Rocker reportedly bragged about his service in Afghanistan and belittled the trooper for never having served in the military.
At some point, Rocker became so agitated he began to bang his head repeatedly against the glass. When the trooper told him to stop, Rocker unleashed a profane tirade.
The whole incident was captured on video from the trooper's dashboard camera.

Hello there java comunity!
I'm looking for this specific problem but the solutions i see are for diferent implementations.
I'm making a free time exercise for learning java on my vacations (I'm starting indeed), i was making some sort of "system" that allows you handle objects into a ArrayList, it may save objects from an ArrayList to a file and read them too, the saving feature seems to work(the file is created with no errors), but the loading of the file throws a EOF Exception, and I know right where is the error (In the method "Leer" from the file "Archivo Curso"), just when the input stream calls the method readObject. Is there a way to fix this error, I leave the netbeans project here for you to check
Thanks for your help
P.D: The ones to check are only Principal.java, Curso.java, AdminCurso.java and ArchivoCurso.java , the rest are not implemented yet
I think the implementation is not wrong at all, the problem is the handling of EOF, i dont get how to make it work properly

More Information
In recent years, my primary focus has been artwork for public spaces. Most of those pieces have been outdoor sculptures in aluminum, but I have also created some mobiles and I have worked with other materials. The kinetic aspect of my mobiles has evolved into outdoor kinetic sculptures.
Through the years, my artwork has been diverse in materials, style, technique, and content. It is difficult to explain the diversity, except to say that I love to experiment and I am drawn to new challenges. I have worked with wood, metals, cement, plastic, and found objects. Some of the threads that tie my work together are humor, a fascination with curves, motion (or implied motion), and an interest in the human condition. My sculptures can roughly be divided into two parts--decorative works and social commentary.
Decorative Works and Public Art
My decorative works include freestanding sculptures (indoor and outdoor), wall pieces, and mobiles. They range in size from tabletop pieces to a 200' long outdoor sculpture (Ghost Train). These works tend to be curvy, abstract, distorted geometric forms. Most embody a strong sense of motion. I am intrigued by motion or, more accurately, the paths taken by objects in motion. I love to let my eyes trace the path of a bird swooping through the air or a fish gliding through water. Many of my sculptures are like 3-D snapshots of such motions.
Mobiles and Kinetic Scuptures
While most of my decorative pieces contain aspects of implied motion, the mobiles and kinetic sculptures are literally in motion. The delicate balance and suble, graceful, gliding motions of mobiles have intrigued me since I was a child. As a sculptor I appreciate the ever-changing shapes and intersections of lines. My largest mobile is a 55' long installation created for a hospital lobby (Eclipse).
Social Commentary
My works of social commentary include the American Artifacts series, figurative pieces, and other works. These pieces often include an element of humor. The materials are often related to the meaning of the pieces. Some pieces are based on my personal experiences and struggles; others are derived from my observations and understandings of the world around me.
American Artifacts
The series American Artifacts is a group of mixed-media sculptures accompanied by text. The work is created and presented in a form that simulates an exhibit in a natural history museum. At first glance, the sculptures appear to be artifacts from some foreign or primitive culture, but on closer inspection one finds that the "artifacts" are derived from objects common to modern life in the United States. The accompanying text describes the objects in a style reminiscent of the descriptions one might find in a natural history museum beside stone axes and broken ceramic figurines, yet it refers to our own culture.
Figurative Works
A significant amount of my artwork has included the human figure in one form or another. My work has included life-size figures, portions of figures, and installations using mannequins. I find something particularly compelling in life-size human figures. They tend to create a strong presence in a room regardless of the style or material. We are "programmed" (psychologically if not biologically) to relate to the human form in certain ways. When a viewer encounters a figurative sculpture he brings a certain familiarity that, at least for a moment, allows him to feel a likeness to the sculpture. The viewer also feels his difference of course, and from this contradiction he must draw some meaning.
In all of my work, whether decorative or provocative, I aim to offer viewers a new viewpoint. The entire range of my sculptures (more than 100 images) can be seen on my website: <HarryMcDaniel.com>.

Since a year I am quite active on SO and a bit on meta, but I have never heard of the timeline of a post, till today in a comment on meta.
There has been an announcement by Jeff Atwood 2 years ago of this feature as "experimental". (Timeline for that question).
This feature has been requested by a user half a year ago, answer: this exists, but the link has to be built manually.
I think this could be quite interesting sometimes and I would like to use this, but I will not, if I have to build the link each time by myself.
This feature is now existing for two years and still "experimental"? Who is using it? Who knows about it?
My feature request: Implement a link in the posts to their timeline, I am sure this nice feature will be used.

Neighborhood connections will be especially important in a disaster. If you've already begun by preparing your household, here's how to reach out to help your neighbors get ready: go to Get Prepared with Your Neighbors.
Once you and your neighbors have a good start on household preparedness, you can use the Map Your Neighborhood (MYN) program to plan to help each other effectively after a disaster. Map Your Neighborhood walks your group through a simple step-by-step process to customize an emergency preparedness plan for your area. You will
- learn the nine steps to take immediately after a disaster
- identify skills and equipment each neighbor has that are helpful in responding to a disaster
- create a contact list and neighborhood map showing locations of neighbors who may need special help, and of natural gas and propane tanks that may need shutting off to prevent fire
- learn to work together as a team to check on neighbors and hazards in the first hours after a disaster
Map Your Neighborhood is a great way to get to know or reconnect with your neighbors. More than just a quick wave, you'll be working together and learning how to protect your families, friends and property.
The Map Your Neighborhood program comes in a handy booklet that keeps the information you gather in one place. Along with booklets for your neighborhood group, you can get a DVD that presents the program in a play-pause-discuss format. Alternatively, you can use the MYN Discussion Guide to present the program yourself.
Get Map Your Neighborhood materials
Map Your Neighborhood booklets and videos are not available online. Check this page for how to get the following materials:
- Map Your Neighborhood booklets – ask for one copy for each household (available in English and Spanish)
- Map Your Neighborhood DVD - video that presents the information for you (in English – subtitled in English, Spanish, Russian, Korean and Chinese, and closed-captioned for the hearing impaired)
PREP does offer the following items:
- Map Your Neighborhood Discussion Guide (PDF) - if no DVD player is available
- MYN Meeting Reminder Flyer (fill-in form)
- MYN Contact List (fill-in form)
- PREP Meeting Here Signs (PDF)

text: "Clubs" - threads dedicated to discussion of a particular make and model of gun - seem to be growing in popularity on THR. It's a tiny movement so far, but up and coming, I predict. I'm currently participating in two clubs: The 642 Club (devoted to the SW 642 snubbies, and one of, if not the, longest running THR threads with 1650 posts now) and the newly formed 686 Club (devoted to SW 686). The 642 club is a great source of information for that particular model, a clearing house for info about rnds, sights, grips, holsters (in the case of handguns), shooting tips, upgrades, repair issues, images, etc. A long gun club could be the same, adding the topics of stocks, slings, scopes, etc. I just got a new Marlin 336A about a week ago, and have only had it to the range once so far, but already love it. It's one of five guns in my optimal minimalist tool kit. (870P, 336A, 39A, 686+, 642) Despite my user name (I do dearly love my 870P), this 336 could become my main long gun. (Yes, I also just got a Marlin 39A. Hmmm. Another club?) I plan to learn as much about this 336 as possible. I think of it as a project. I have yet to decide on sighting options (apertures, ghost rings and/or scope). I've just begun to explore various ammo options. There are a dozen other questions that come to mind as well. So, I thought, hmmm, why not a 336 club? It may fly, it may not, but it's worth an experiment. Over the next few months, I'm going to try to collect information about the 336 from archived THR threads and other web links and post them here. (I've got an entire bookmark folder devoted to 336.) We'll be focused mainly on .30-30, I suspect, but open to posts about .35. What say you? Anybody into it? Nem

Police Cadet Throwing Grenade at Fellow Trainees May Want to Find New Line of Work
You know how people flee like their hair's on fire when someone throws a grenade in the movies? Well, it turns out it's not that much different in real life.
A police trainee in Brazil recently threw a grenade into a crowd of other trainees while they were working on an exercise. It looks like a scene out of 'Police Academy.'
The woman was trying to toss the grenade into an empty field, but somehow fired it into a throng of her colleagues instead, giving her the kind of aim that could find a home on this list.
Quicker than you can say "horrible throw," the grenade detonated while everyone scampered like they were on the Titanic looking for a lifeboat.
Amazingly, no one was hurt, although we'd be willing to bet the officer's grade took a big hit.

I'm new to large format and just bought a 4x5 Cambo SC.
With the purchase, the original owner threw in a Cooke Triple Convertible 12.25" in a Betax No.5 shutter. The lens is in really good shape and cleaned up nicely.
I can't really find anything on the value of these and was debating selling it to get something a little more normal for 4x5.
Thanks in advance for any input.
