Why Arborists Should Be Part Of Your Landscape Planning

This true crime opus reminds me why Barrett Whitener is one of my favorite narrators. His Southern twang may be a bit more pronounced than usual, but his diction is still crisp and precise, his timbre a pleasant high baritone, his reading meticulous, the sense of his involvement complete. Here he tells of the notorious Sam Sheppard case, the headline-grabbing story of the late doctor who was jailed for the brutal murder of his wife while loudly protesting his innocence. Now, DNA technology may finally lay the mystery to rest. Whether it does or not, Whitener makes the lurid details sound like respectable--and fascinating--journalism. Y.R.

How to Dress Like Olivia Palermo... for Less!
Everyone knows her as the villain on MTV's "The City", but to me, as well as all of you CF readers who requested a post on her style, Olivia Palermo is a fashion force to be reckoned with.
The 25-year-old New York City socialite-turned-fashionista is, in my opinion, one of biggest trendsetters of the decade. In the years since she came onto the scene, she's been everywhere and done everything: from gracing the cover of ASOS Magazine, to being named "Girl of the Year" by Tatler Magazine, to being featured on the cover of New York Magazine, Olivia is known far and wide for her fashion sense. Palermo has also dabbled in design, collaborating with Roberta Freymann on a collection of beaded bib necklaces that are inspired by the cities of the world.
While "The City" may have introduced Palermo to the MTV-watching public, her daring fashion choices are what kept her in the limelight and sparked many a style obsession. So to those of you who love her style and wanted to see her featured here, the wait is finally over! Below, I'll show you how to get Olivia Palermo's sense of style, on a college student budget.
How to Get Olivia Palermo's Style for Less
It should come as no surprise that the wardrobe of socialite fashionista has quite the price tag. That said, it's easier than you think to emulate Olivia's look without emptying out your wallet. Want proof? The following outfits are completely comprised of items that cost $100 dollars or less!
Outfit 1: Gray Blazer & Orange Heels
Blazer, Dress, Clutch, Bangles, Pumps
Olivia looked picture-perfect when attending the Giambattista Valli fashion show in Paris! She rocked a gorgeous gray blazer over a simple white dress, along with a black clutch and bright pumps.
While to me, this outfit screams perfect daytime-chic, my favorite part of the outfit is the way Olivia added a splash of color with her sunflower yellow pumps - they make it appropriate for night as well! Get her look with a similarly cut dress, gray jacket, simple black clutch, and neon pumps, and you'll be ready to sit front row at any fashion show.
Outfit 2: Striped Shirt, Tights, & Belted Jacket
Jacket, Belt, Shirt, Shorts, Tights, Pumps, Tote
On a casual day shopping around New York City, Olivia rocked a pair of denim boyfriend shorts with tights, and looked fabulous in the process. I love everything about this look, especially the belted barn jacket over the casual striped tee. With Olivia being raised in Connecticut, to me, this outfit is Suburban prep meets New York City chic.
Outfit 3: Plaid Shorts, Blouse, & Long Coat
Jacket , Blouse, Skirt, Belt, Flats, Bag
To me, this outfit screams, "sexy school girl-librarian chic." It's a little bit Rachel Berry from Glee and a little bit Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl, and Olivia pulls it off famously. I love the Upper East Side prep look she has going here, and the fact that she spiced up the outfit with a pair of shorts instead of a skirt.
Outfit 4: Boyfriend Jeans & Black Blouse
Blouse, Jeans, Bag, Studs, Booties
I love Palermo's casual denim look here. She proves that it's easy to glam up a pair of destroyed boyfriend jeans with a simple sheer button down and lace-up booties. In typical Olivia fashion, her look is put-together and sharp even when she dresses down.
Outfit 5: Statement Shorts & Classic Coat
Top, Shorts, Jacket, Bangles, Wingtips
Play up your spring wardrobe and channel Olivia's colorful look with a pair of high-wasited, brightly colored trouser shorts. Add a chambray top like Olivia's for a pretty color contrast, and finish off with some brogues and a tan jacket.
Outfit 6: Little Purple Dress
Dress, Belt, Watch, Pumps, Studs
This is personally my favorite look of Olivia's. Why? First, I love sheer sleeves on pretty much anything, and I love the mix of textures Olivia did here. But most of all, I really just love the color contrast between the electric purple animal-print frock and the bold tan cheetah print belt. Everything about this outfit works for me. Overall, Olivia rocked this outfit and though it's definitely a risk-taking choice, it's also easy to do on your own.
Your thoughts?
What do you think Olivia Palermo's style? Which look is your favorite? Which are you most excited to try? Are you happy we finally featured Olivia's style? Leave a comment and tell us what you think!

Some viruses are programmed
to damage the computer by damaging programs, deleting files, or reformatting the hard disk. Others are not designed to do
any damage, but simply to replicate themselves and make their presence known by presenting text, video, and audio messages.
Even these benign viruses can create problems for the computer user. They typically take up computer memory used by legitimate
programs. As a result, they often cause erratic behavior and can result in system crashes. In addition, many viruses are bug-ridden,
and these bugs may lead to system crashes and data loss.

FREDERICK, MD – The FAA has announced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) which would replace today's highly prescriptive design requirements with performance- and risk-based standards for aircraft certification under Part 23.
"This NPRM includes much needed and long overdue reforms to the aircraft certification process," said AOPA President Mark Baker. "AOPA has worked diligently with industry stakeholders and the FAA to promote a shift to standards that maintain safety while making it easier and more affordable to bring innovative technology into GA aircraft. This proposed rule is a critical step in that direction."
While the NPRM focuses on design and certification of new aircraft, changes are still needed to make it easier and more affordable for the owners of legacy aircraft to put modern safety equipment in their airplanes.
"We hope that this NPRM, along with policy changes already in place to support the installation of safety enhancing equipment in GA aircraft, signals a new approach to regulation and certification," said Baker. "One size does not fit all when it comes to aircraft equipment. With the GA fleet aging and just over a thousand new piston-powered GA aircraft being delivered each year, we must make it easier to upgrade legacy aircraft with a wide range of innovative safety technology."
AOPA has been actively engaged in identifying ways to streamline the certification process, serving on the FAA's Certification Process Study; the Part 23 Reorganization Aviation Rulemaking Committee, which developed the recommendations for reforms; and the ASTM F44 Committee, which developed industry consensus standards for the Part 23 rulemaking effort.

Otherwise, I had a decent day and played the PWAV breakout along with many people in the Charts Gone Wild chatroom! We banked some good coin on that one!

great trading cath!ReplyDelete
on apwr, what do you think about applying your selling strategy to your stop losses? (you know how exponentially more resistant stocks get around support/resistance and round numbers, and you use that in your selling). So what about having had the apwr stop at .99 rather than .01? in retrospect it would have worked, course everything works then :) still, would have only been additional .02 risk but would have still prevented further losses on a total meltdown? killer on the pwav! cheers, rick
Hey Rick,ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comment and the suggestion on APWR. Yes, you're absolutely right about the stop placement! In fact, I normally never put my stops at round numbers, and I know that X.9X is often support, just under round numbers. So 5.99 or 5.97 or something like that would have been a much better stop placement! I'll try to be more mindful of that in the future!
Thanks, really appreciate your input!
well, not sure if it was input or more question, but stop loss placement on entry is the part of trading i think about the most, so am glad you posted something on this. personally, i like the .09 stop the best, and not .10 below, fwiwReplyDelete

I received a short e-mail almost two weeks ago now. "Grandpa is in the hospital with pneumonia, not doing well," was all it said. My grandfather had not been in good health for years. He had spent the last three years in a nursing home. But, this latest illness looked like it might have dire consequences. I kept up with his prognosis through e-mail and phone calls, and Tim and I discussed the possibility of a visit to go see Grandpa.
The truth is, I was not really that close to my paternal grandfather. He was always a very quiet man and my family had not lived close to him since I was three years old. Though we would go to visit often when I was a child, there were always aunts and uncles and cousins filling the house and I never really had much personal interaction with my grandpa. He did not go out of his way to hang out with us grandkids and we were much too busy playing with each other in the finished basement to be bothered with the boring adult conversations going on upstairs. Like my grandpa, I was quiet and shy and so the two of us never knew quite what to say to each other on the occasions when we were all together. I have many memories of being with my dad's family, gatherings that would include my own aunts, uncles, and cousins as well as my dad's at times. My memories of being with dad's family are good memories full of talking, laughing, and tons of extended family who were always thrilled to see my siblings, my cousins, and me but in most of my memories Grandpa was not a prominent figure. He was there, quietly sitting, always sort of in the background of our visits and of my memories. I have only a few special personal memories of Grandpa. He always had butterscotch candies in his shirt pocket and he would share them with us whenever we saw him. I remember he would burn his trash in a fire pit in the backyard every evening and sometimes he would let me throw things in, like my Styrofoam cup or plastic candy wrappers. I loved seeing how they would curl and dance in the heat before being burned up, neither Grandpa nor I knowing anything of the damage we might have been doing to the environment. I remember one time sitting on Grandpa's lap as we watched home movies for what seemed like hours. And I remember going with my grandparents to a festival where Grandpa was playing his harmonica. He was a professional harmonica player for years but I was only there to see him play in public that one time. As I got older, our visits got fewer and farther between and since Grandma and Grandpa were never comfortable traveling we saw little of them in my teenage years. Once I became an adult, it was even harder to see my grandparents. I moved even farther away, Tim and I were on a very tight budget (still are actually), and our family was growing quickly, keeping us busy. Time has a way of slipping by more quickly than I realize and, somehow, nine years passed without a trip to see Grandma and Grandpa. So I found myself two weeks ago, reading my e-mail, not sure how much time Grandpa had left and not at all sure how I could get to see him, yet feeling in my heart that I needed to be there.
Tim and I talked about driving up to Pennsylvania, where Grandpa lay frail and sick in his hospital bed. We talked about the 800+ mile drive, the time it would take to make the drive, the cold, snowy weather we would encounter, and the cost of it all. It just didn't seem feasible to go. Then my mom offered to book a flight for me, with her and my dad, to fly up for five days. It would require me leaving my four older children (the baby could fly free, sitting on my lap on the plane). Tim would have to take time off work to be with them, but it was the only option and Grandpa's health continued to deteriorate rapidly.
My grandfather died before we made it to town. I did not get to talk to him one last time. I did not see him before he passed away. I did not get to introduce him to his youngest great-grandchild, my daughter with whom he shared his name and a definite family resemblance. Instead of one last visit I would be there for his funeral.
The time I spent in Pennsylvania was an emotional roller coaster. I was surrounded, like in childhood, by aunts, uncles, and cousins. I got to see family I hadn't seen in many, many years, including my grandmother, who though she was very sad seemed comforted by the presence of her family all around. One night my uncle came by to hang out in our room and we sat up until midnight, my parents, my brother and I, listening to his stories and laughing so hard we practically cried. And then there were the moments we did cry. Not tears of joy but tears of mourning, tears of loss. In many ways, I mourned as much for the relationship Grandpa and I never had, as for the end of his life here on earth. I was sad for the years that he and I never spoke, the visits that went by with little more than a hug and kiss as we came and went when I was a kid, the significant moments of my life that Grandpa was not a part of. I was sad that I knew my grandpa without ever really knowing him and that he knew me but didn't really know me, either. I was sad that my love for him, while very real, was rarely shared as it should have been. I was so sad that Grandpa had suffered at the end of his life and that I had not had a chance to be there for him in his suffering. I was sad for my dad who had lost his dad, for the times he had not seen his father for years at a time, for not being able to be with his dad at the end. I was sad for my grandma who after 63 years of marriage was now a widow, alone and unsure of her future. The emotions I experienced over the course of the week were raw and varied and overwhelming, at times. The visit was joyful and sad, comforting and upsetting, close and far all at once.
My mom overheard one of my cousins explaining to her young niece, my other cousin's 8 year old daughter, that some family reunions are happy and some are sad but that what matters most is that we are all together. I wish my most recent visit to see family had been under different circumstances and that it had come earlier, at a time when I could still visit with my grandfather before it was too late, but I am glad my extended family was together and that I could be there to pay my last respects to Grandpa, offering my prayers for his soul and thanking God for his life.

Kari, This post makes me weepy, as I am going through a similar situation right now with my father. I am, however, fortunate to make peace, say I love you and good bye. But, I do hope I don't have to do this. It makes me sad to think this will be a memory for my kids of their Poppy. But, I am happy they have other wonderful memories too. I love your blog. Keep posting.ReplyDelete
oh Kari I am so sorry about your Grandpa. Losing a grandparent is never easy, praying for you and for the soul of your Grandfather.ReplyDelete
Kari, sending prayers for your grandfather's soul and your family as well. sorry to hear of your sadness.ReplyDelete

There is dreaming, and then there is lucid dreaming.
The difference between the former and the latter lies in the amount of control the dreamer is able to exert over the narrative and environment that is being experienced. In short, it's all about presence and awareness.
The same reasoning could very much apply to Neptune, the elusive, oceanic lord of all that is sublime, dreamlike and transcendent, and to his retrograde cycles.
Neptune's retrograde transit occurs yearly, lasting roughly 160 days per year. As it's the case with all the other planets' Rx cycles, while the god of the seas is moving backwards in apparent motion from our Earth viewpoint, we experience a palpable concentration and internalization of that planet's energy and themes.
We are sensitized, our psychic space more permeable, our dreams more vivid and poignant than ever, engrossed in our inner worlds, yet hardly grounded in the tangible, palpable scenario we call 'reality'. Common occurrences during a Neptune Rx cycle include wishful thinking, lapses of judgment, a stronger tendency towards projection, being more impressionable and easily swayed than usual, and blind to the red flags that we would otherwise notice at other times. It's like a spell has been cast on us, one that heightens our perception of the realms within and beyond while dimming our common sense in the current 3d reality. A dream without lucidity that had us feeling sidetracked, gaslighted, out of sorts.
Around Neptune's direct station, occuring on November 22, at 11°28 Pisces, we will slowly start to float back into the lucid dreaming consciousness of our day-to-day reality, once again aware of the illusory nature of everything that surrounds us, yet able to fully and completely partake in it without resorting to diversionary escapist detours. Rather, it's time to give definite form and shape to the treasures we dredged from our depths – the insight, visions, and intuitions we have gleaned during this five-month period of inward delving – while purging the delusions that derail us.
We are being gently nudged towards clearer waters, out of the emotional and energetical stagnation that dominated this retrograde phase With Mars still in Libra and the upcoming Mercury Rx cycle right around the corner, this direct station is unlikely to be action-packed; however, it will most definitely mark a smooth, gentle shift in the right direction.
Neptune stations Direct, November 22, 2017 – Tides

When George W. Bush's second term began, pundit Kevin Drum said it would be marked by scandal. He thought they would be particularly susceptible to scandal because "Both Bush and the current Republican Party leadership have already demonstrated a ruthlessness and disregard for rational political norms. A " second reason for foreseeing scandal was that the Republican Congress had largely given up its role of oversight of the executive branch." When Clinton was in the White House, committees in both chambers limited oversight largely to scandal hunting. When George W. Bush entered the White House, oversight ended and Congress became supine, while its leadership assumed the roles of his loyal lieutenants. Republican leaders gave no sign they understood the institutional prerogatives of Congress or that they could be characterized by institutional patriotism.
Beginning in 2005, the Republican Party was rocked by a number of scandals. Its key lobbyist Jack Abramoff and two of his partners were indicted, as was Scooter Libby, Vice President Cheney's Chief of staff. Libby was indicted for lying in connection with the outing of CIA covert agent, Valerie Plame. Her identity was first revealed by conservative columnist Robert Novak who said he got the information from two administration officials CNN talk show host Chris Matthews subsequently called Ambassador Wilson to warn him that Karl Rove had called him to say "Wilson's wife is fair game." It appears that she was outed to embarrass her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson. Wilson and UN weapons inspector David Albright had appeared on CNN together and criticized the claim that Iraq had negotiated with Niger to acquire nuclear materials. Vice President Cheney directed the CIA to dig up information to discredit Albright. He also held a meeting with NSA and CIA people in which he ordered a "work-up" on Wilson, whom he called "an 'asshole' [and] a son of a bitch." They started spreading the word that Wilson was a "womanizer" and looked for more stories to circulate. In February 2005, Federal Judge Tatel ruled that the federal law protecting covert agents had been violated. Yet, the prosecutor apparently hit a stonewall in trying to learn who originally gave up her identity and was forced to only look at obstruction of justice matters. This apparently took both Vice President Cheney and Karl Rove out of the line of fire. The White House has refused to give the prosecutor e-mails that mentioned Plame and has maintained that malfunctions in the White House e-mail system erased many relevant communications. Reporters later found that all White House e-mails were backed up and stored elsewhere, but nothing was done to retrieve them. The story about the millions of missing e-mails changes several more times, as they became more important. For example, a Congressional committee wanted them to see if it was true that Karl Rove was behind the prosecution of Democratic governor, Don Siegelman of Alabama. The last story was that millions of e-mails were destroyed for 2—3-2005 when hard drives were destroyed because the White House was in the process of replacing a third of its computers.
Libby told prosecutors that he had been given the power to declassify information, and Vice President Cheney subsequently said there was an executive order that gave the president and vice president the power to declassify information. It later developed that this process was used to leak the intelligence estimate on Iraq's military capacities to The New York Times. The most likely justification for doing so was to use such information to sell the war in Iraq. A court put the whole matter on the back burner, deferring a trial until two months after the 2006 elections. Republicans have been busily raising defense funds for Libby as though being involved in the treasonable outing of a covert agent was an act of high patriotism. In the end, President Bush commuted Libby's sentence, and the true facts of the case never came out.
The second Bush term was marked by scandal. Most of it involved Republicans, but a black Democrat, Representative William Jefferson, was found with $100,000, with which he was supposed to bribe an African government. Of course, the matter was portrayed as though he was to get the full $100,000. The amount of money going to Republicans made the $100,000 look like chickenfeed. To be fair, it should be noted that the end of five Democratic dominance in the House were also marked by scandal. Speaker Jim Wright had to step down because he pressured some people to buy and distribute a book he had written. About $40,000 in sales was involved. Newt Gingrich, who played the central role in forcing Wright's resignation, later quietly paid $300,000 to settle an ethics complaint. Representative Dan Rostenkowski was sent to prison for misappropriating government property. He gave away some furniture and ash trays, but he claimed he bought them for his offices with his campaign funds. Of course, once he placed them in a government office, they were government property. In 2006, there was concern that the scandal in Congress would metastasize "from a cancer on Congress to a cancer on the Republican Party in general and this presidency in particular." Whether this would occur depended upon the level of public interest, and in this matter there was no Monica Lewinsky. It was said, "The Abramoff scandal, so far anyway, boasts plenty of cigars but no sex." However, this proved to be partially wrong as Abramoff money was found to fund at least one sex for Congressional votes ring, but there was not a great deal of public interest directed at "Hookergate."
Tom De Lay and two associates thought they had found a way around the Texas law forbidding corporate contributions to Texas political races. Instead a local grand jury indicted DeLay. He, at first, temporarily stepped down from his majority leader's position, and it soon became clear the party would not let him reclaim it. He resigned the post and was replaced by John A. Boehner of Ohio, who unconvincingly presented himself as a reformer. However, he had voted against almost all ethics reform measures, and he soon displayed a "shockingly blasé," wanting to consign the whole matter of reform to "the ultimate dead letter office, the House ethics committee." Randy Cunningham of California was sent to prison for taking much in excess of $2 million in bribes. Mitch Wade of MZM, Inc, who gave Cunningham most of the money was also indicted. May James, wife of MZM's second in command, worked in the Pentagon office that supervised the firm's contract. MZM had been given a contract to handle and analyze some intelligence and was involved in cooking information to justify the invasion of Iraq. Wade, admitted to making illegal contributions to Virginia Republican Virgil Goode, Jr., and Katherine Harris of Florida. The Justice Department claimed neither representative realized the contributions were illegal. Republican Representative Bob Ney of Ohio accepted a 27-month plea deal for accepting a bribe. Ney was a former CIA operative who occasionally did back channel missions in the Middle East and had tripped onto a WMD network that allegedly involved Richard Cheney.
Cunningham did not use "earmarks," special appropriations of a local nature, to achieve his objectives. His method was to increase a defense or intelligence appropriation and then make sure it was spent with designated firms, who then did favors for Cunningham or his friends. Congress reacted to the Cunningham scandal by trying to limit earmarks by making them more transparent and by clearly identifying what Senator or Representative was behind each earmark.
The Cunningham probe later showed that fifteen Republican congressmen were involved in "Hookergate," receiving sexual favors at the Westin Grand and Watergate Hotels from male and female prostitutes proved by another San Diegan, Brent Wilkes, who had ties to the CIA and the Iran-Contra scandal. The man whose limousine service was used for these gatherings had a 62 page rap sheet, but the firm was a Department of Homeland Security contractor. Most of the fifteen Republican Congressmen were on the subcommittee that handled defense contract appropriations. . Wilkes was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Cunningham case. Wilkes and Wade were both San Diego businessmen who had government contracts and routed some of the money back to the GOP through a firm run by two of Tom DeLay's former aids and is suspected of being tied to Jack Abramoff. Wilkes's ties to Congressmen went back to the 1980 when he was visiting CIA agent and close friend, Kyle " Dusty" Foggo. Congressmen traveled there to view the progress of the secret war against progressives, and Wilkes said he got to know them during sexual encounters with women in Honduran villages. There was some talk that Mitch Wade tried to bribe Representative Katherine Harris, but one Capitol Hill figure said, "I think Mitch made a mistake trying to bribe Harris. She's so incompetent, she can't be bribed."
"Hookergate" received little coverage in the mainstream press but it was covered far more than a similar one in the mid-eighties. Ed Rollins revealed that there had been a small sex for votes operation run by one lobbyist using one prostitute. Two dozen Republicans were involved, about half of whom were prominent. The scandal received no coverage, except as it involved Rep. Tom Evans of Delaware, who confessed to his wife and lost his seat.
Porter Goss, director of the CIA, resigned his position in May 2006 for unknown reasons, perhaps due to reports that he and "Dusty" Foggo had been seen at these parties where prostitutes were present. Foggo resigned soon thereafter, but this could have been due to his connection to a questionable CIA contract awarded to Wilkes. Foggo claimed that he was connected with the contract with Archer Logistics but had no idea his best friend owned it. A third figure who attended the parties was Brant "Nine Fingers" Bassett, who had been a CIA agent until 2000, when he joined Goss's Congressional staff. In the brief time before leaving the CIA and joining Goss, he collected an "honorarium" from Wilkes for undisclosed services. It was difficult to determine if there were two sets of sex parties, hosted separately by Wilkes with contractor Mitchell Wade and Abramoff or whether they were the same operation. On "The Charlie Rose Show," Republican strategist Ed Rollins confirmed that about fifteen sitting Republican congressmen were involved, a number of whom were on the Defense Appropriations subcommittee. The CIA even went to the trouble of bring a dominatrix from Germany to take care of the needs of Republican Congressmen.
Titan Corporation, another San Diego defense contractor, was also a major contributor to Cunningham and Republicans. Its employees were accused of torturing prisoners at Abu Ghraib and it was fined $28,000,000 for fixing an election in Benin. It also hired Makram Chams as a contractor in Saudi Arabia. This man was known to have befriended Mohamed Atta when he was in Venice, Florida. Titan has an economic relationship with Skyway Aircraft of Saint Petersburg, a firm whose plane was seized by the Mexican government. It had 5.5 tons of cocaine aboard. The firm's chairman is Brent Kovar, who is linked to Tom DeLay. The DC9's co owner was Royal Sons Motor Yacht Sales, an outfit muckraker Daniel Hopsicker thinks is part of a interlocking group of CIA "dummy front" companies. Although the Mexican army surrounded the plane, its pilot escaped. The Sky Way plane operates out of the same Venice airport where Mohamed Atta trained and could have been involved in the drug trade. The DEA began to investigate this possibility, but Attorney General Ashcroft shut down this probe.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist was under investigation for improper handling of a blind trust, and it was revealed that he used $456,000 from an AIDS charity to keep political operatives on the payroll in anticipation of a presidential bid in 2008 The Abramoff investigation involved an inquiry into the bribery of Congressman and staff members and was headed by Alice Fisher, who became head of the Criminal Investigations division through an interim appointment. She had been with the Office of Homeland Security and deputy counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee.
Strange things happened in respect to the Abramoff investigation since 2002. In November of that year, Frederick Black, acting federal attorney on Guam, was removed a day after he subpoenaed a contract between Abramoff and the government of Guam. One of Black's colleagues said, "Fred was removed because he asked to indict Abramoff." Prosecutor Noll L. Hillman, who had been working on the case for two years, was suddenly nominated for a federal judgeship, leaving open a key job that could be filled with a loyalist. Representative George Miller said the timing was "startling" and added, "You have one of the chief prosecutors removed from a case that has tentacles throughout the Republican leadership of Congress, throughout the various agencies and into the White House. Andrew Lourie, a man with an interesting history, replaced Hilman. He headed the Justice Department's Division of Public Integrity in 2001 and 2002 after Republican Congressmen persuaded Attorney General Ashcroft to demote the career lawyer, Lee Radek, who headed it. The White House promised to make public all of Abramoff's contacts with its staff, but press secretary Scott McClellan later announced that this information would not be given to anyone. This exercise in stonewalling was largely ignored by the press, but Paul Krugman did take fellow journalists to task for ignoring the matter.
A poll showed that 68% of the public thought Congress should force White House officials to testify about the firing of the attorneys, and even more thought Congress should investigate. Oddly, a CNBC correspondent complained about the invstigation saying the Democrats looked "Too political in exploiting this." Time's managing editor share4d this view , saying the Democrats should back off "because it is so bad for them." He added that "That's not what voters want to see."
Most of the press tried to give the affair a "balanced" approach by claiming that the Abramoff affair was bipartisan. It was reported across the board that he gave money to both Democrats and Republicans. When a few people noted that he did not give one personal contribution to a Democrat, the response was that he "directed" his Indian tribe clients to send contributions to the Democrats. If fact, the tribes had donated to Democrats before, and their giving to this party declined by 9% after they retained Abramoff. The White House refused to release pictures of Bush and Abramoff together and also refused to provide information on the people Abramoff contacted there. The Associated Press reported that he and his employees had almost 200 contacts with White House people in the first ten months of the Bush administration. Few in the press looked at the full implications of the Cunningham scandal, ignoring the votes for sex part.
Instead the press showered great attention on two Democratic members of Congress and the minute details provided by the now highly politicized Capitol police. Cynthia Mc Kinney had foolishly hit a policeman with a cell phone when he acted in a way she considered disrespectful, and foolishly let the story dominate the front page for days before offering an abject apology. Congressman Patrick Kennedy had a car accident at 2:30 AM, in which he was either under the influence of medications or drugs, but he handled the manner in a way guaranteeing that it would be drug out endlessly. An August 2002 an August 2002 Salon article showed that the Capitol Hill police have a history of not recognizing Mc Kinney
.Charges of driving under the influence of prescription drugs were brought by the Capitol Police with lightning speed, and Kennedy entered a guilty plea. Another case that discredited Democrats was that of Louisiana Democrat William Jefferson, who was caught in a sting accepting $100,000, $90,000 of which he stashed in his refrigerator. That was allegedly to be used to brine Nigerian officials. The FBI subsequently raided his Capitol Hill office, which touched off a dispute about the separation of powers. The fact that both McKinney and Jefferson were African Americans made their offenses look so much worse to more than a few voters. A misleading story about Senator Harry Reid also helped the GOP deflect criticism. The Associated Press made much over the fact that Democratic Senate Minority leader Harry Ried had accepted two fight tickets from the Nevada Gaming Commission. Its story was misleading and suggested Reid voted on a matter relating to the commission when he had not. AP stuck by its report as written and boasted in an internal memo that the story had set off a great deal of criticism of Reid.
The DC federal district judge who authorized the raid was Thomas Hogan. On January 1, 2004, he permitted nuclear triggers smuggler Asher Karni a $100,000 bail with the condition that he resides in a Hebrew Shelter Home operated by a friend and defender of Jack Abramoff. Karni, had worked for both Israeli and Turkish intelligence. He smuggled 60 USA nuclear triggers through South Africa to Pakistan. His operation had been a target of the CIA nonproliferation unit run by Valerie Plame. Karni received a very light sentence--three years.
By spring, 2006, the Republican scandals were enough under control that Representative Jerry Lewis, chairman of the appropriations committee, hired Jeffrey Shockey as the committee's deputy staff director. Both men had been discussed in relationship to the various Abramoff scandals. Shockey said the Ethics Committee sanctioned the hire, but there is no paper record of this and Democrats have not been given the green light for similar hires. Shockey had somehow managed to collect $2 million from a lobbying firm in 2004 while working for Uncle Sam. Lewis was being investigated for his ties to Brent Wilkes, who contributed $60,000 to his last campaign. Lewis's ties to the Copeland Lowery lobbying firm are also being scrutinized. That firm had failed to report $2,000,000 in income from 1998 to 2005 and found it necessary to submit a revised earnings statement. Most of these investigations were being carried out before grand juries in very conservative southern California.
Some speculated that there could be a reaction among the voters as great as that which deprived the Democrats of 50 House seats in 1994. However, political scientist Norman J. Ornstein calculated that there are so many safe Republican seats 2006 that at most their loss of House seats would be 20. That would turn out to be ten short of the actual number of lost seats, probably because experts on both sides had underestimated how many true independents there were in 2006. That would barely return control to the Democrats, but enough Democrats habitually vote with the Republicans in both houses that they could still advance their agenda In February 2006, the House and Senate Republican leadership moved to dampen the scandal by proposing modest reform legislation. It would prevent lobbyists under some conditions from making gifts to Congressmen or paying for trips. However, these practices were legal if they occurred as part of campaign functions. The Democrats offered a plan that was slightly tougher. It would prevent Congressmen from directing that lobbying firms hire people based on party membership.

'I've been to Iraq and back and not seen nothing like this,' resident of Ark. town says. This double negative by a man who's seen it all, but nothing like this.
There are kids and pets and all manner of living creatures out there in the little town of Beebe, Arkansas, and I suspect none of them have never seen nothing quite like it.
Speculation abounds as to why 2,000 redwinged blackbirds have fallen out of the sky. One of the more interesting theories is that local kids were shooting off fireworks, and "scared the blackbirds" and apparently gave them all heart attacks.
Reminiscent of the Dustin Hoffman movie, "Outbreak" or creepy episodes of The Outer Limits, obviously, the government would rather put out the old "there is nothing to worry about" propaganda on this one. Workers from the EPA were walking around Beebe in their white decontamination suits, yet the EPA has stated emphatically, the locals have nothing to fear.
My uncle freddie didn't need to snoop around, he quickly put two and two together to get 7, a prime number, and has it figured out.
He sees it as apocolyptic warning sign of the end times. He knew a couple of Mayans that have visited earth a few months back, just as an advance "exploratory" committee. They arrived to check out the condition of earth, and inhabitants, and were not very impressed with earth's progress. Since the Mayans are coming back in 2012, and the end of the earth is scheduled for that year, they have to come and visit periodically.
Now, elsewhere in this blog, we've mentioned the importance of the BFF button, and getting this universally accepted by mankind. Shoot, when you get real friendly with someone online, you hit the ol "Best Friend Forever" button, and this will save mankind from destruction. Ferrets have known this for some time, and we can save earth from itself.
Now, we find there are folks running around with the wrong date!! Seems a few Christians have the date pegged as May 21, 2011 for Christ's return. We respect Christianity, don't get us ferrets wrong here! It's just they've got the date a bit messed up.
"Sam get on with the story.." that from Ronny in Annadale. Thanks Ronny, you impatient troublemaker.
So my uncle freddie said the redwinged blackbirds fell out of the sky because they were lovesick. Yep. Seems Beebe, Ark is like the Match.Com of the blackbird world. Blackbirds from all over the world meet there to hook up. This group that fell out dead were manic depressed, and a bit bipolar to begin with.
Uncle Freddie said some hot lookin bird from NY City showed up and had the voice of an angel, or Mayan, and sang so lovely, all the chicks were lovesick for him. Uncle Freddie, not used to such shenanigans witnessed it for himself. Like women flocking to see Edward in Twilight, and secretly fantasizing about him, this Blackbird was good.
So to the 2,000 bipolar, manic depressed blackbirds of Beebe, Arkansas who died over the holidays, we will remember you. You have not died in vain. At least the crooner from NYC has his pick of the chicks.

As the mortgage crisis continues to wield a tight grip on the banking industry, financial institutions are scaling back their pursuit of new lending relationships.
"In the first quarter alone we have seen a 50 percent decline in secured loan direct mail solicitations," says Stephenie Williams, senior strategic account planner for Harland Clarke's Marketing Services Client Strategy department. "That's a key sign that banks are focusing inward. There's not much appetite to look for new account holders because the possibility of default is too high."
Not surprisingly, banks and credit unions are turning to their own backyards to cultivate less risky growth opportunities. One example is the focus on revolving credit lines that are not fully utilized by a financial institution's existing account holders. There are plenty of people who fall into this category. According to MyFico.com, more than half of all credit card holders are using less than 30 percent of their total credit card limit. And the Consumer Bankers Association notes that, on average, consumers only use 55 percent of their available home equity lines.
Other industry statistics show that a third or more of financial institutions have dormant or inactive accounts, and that only 14 percent of Americans use more than half their available credit.
"There is a real supply and demand problem," says Williams of consumers' desire for new credit combined with financial institutions' unwillingness to extend new lines of credit due to market conditions.
Credit Optimization
Five Facts You Need
to Know
1. What is Credit Optimization?
Credit Optimization is a comprehensive, direct marketing solution designed to maximize the profitability of existing credit accounts. It increases revenues by encouraging account holders to activate and utilize existing credit accounts.
2. Who is it for?
Any financial institution, regardless of size, that issues revolving credit and installment loans to account holders.
3. How does it work?
It targets account holders at key times during their life cycle with intelligence-based communications, such as skip-a-pay offers, convenience check letters and check packs, to stimulate credit usage.
4. What types of accounts does it target?
Credit Optimization will reach account holders with personal and/or business loans and lines of credit, home equity loans and lines of credit, personal credit cards, and small business credit cards.
5. How do I know if Credit Optimization is right for us?
If your financial institution meets one or more of the following criteria, Credit Optimization would be a useful marketing tool:
Cut Risk and Boost ROI With Harland Clarke's Credit Optimization™ Solution
Existing credit card account holders are a known quantity, explains Nekasha Ross, marketing services manager with Harland Clarke. "You know more about their level of credit risk," she says. Having ready access to account and payment history enables bankers to be more selective about whom they target and allows for more customized messaging and offers. In effect, marketing to existing account holders can be less risky since financial institutions can conduct periodic reviews of their revolving credit accounts.
"By looking at how long customers have been with you and their payment histories and whether they have other accounts with your institution, you can make more informed decisions and identify who is less likely to default," she says.
Another reason to target existing credit account holders is that they are up to six times more likely to respond than outside prospects, according to both Ross and Williams.
"In some cases we're getting double-digit response rates," says Williams. With results like these, this marketing approach pays for itself very quickly, whether implemented by a large national bank, community bank or credit union. "Financial executives see the return on investment and then their question becomes, 'Why wouldn't we do this?'"
Consider the case study of a major innovative credit card issuer that faced a series of hurdles: declining revenue in a mature market, escalating costs for account acquisitions, a jump in closed and dormant accounts, and dwindling profitability on existing accounts. "It decided to target existing credit lines by mailing a convenience check pack instead of a traditional check letter," says Ross. The results? An impressive response rate of 6.1 percent, and an off-thecharts ROI of 1,534 percent!
In this economic cycle, the time is right to offer relief in the form of a month with no payment to credit customers who may be feeling a budget pinch. With the holidays right around the corner, the time is right for skip-a-pay offers that can generate additional fee and interest income for your financial institution and provide welcome relief for your account holders.
The Keys to Success
Ross adds that if you decide to employ an outside marketing services firm to help initiate a credit optimization program, it is important to choose one that has Payment Card Industry (PCI) certification. "Working with a company that has PCI certification helps ensure that your account holders' confidential credit data is not compromised," she explains.
Whether you implement such a program in-house or use an external vendor, the key to success is to be highly selective when targeting account holders. Reaching out to fewer people — those account holders determined to be less risky and potentially more profitable — means your marketing expenses will be lower and your return on investment higher. And, while this approach can be used at any point in an account's life cycle, it is especially useful during the first year. "Industry results have shown that accounts activated within the first 90 days have 50 percent higher balances," says Ross. (See sidebar, "Credit Optimization: Five Facts You Need to Know," to help determine if this marketing vehicle is right for your financial institution.)
The last thing anyone wants is for people who are poor credit risks to fall deeply into debt. "That's why we encourage making the most of your existing creditworthy relationships," says Ross. "It's simply about reminding account holders in good standing to use the credit you've already extended to them."
Credit Optimization can help maximize the profitability of your existing credit portfolios, increase retention rates and enhance your competitive standing. It works best when used to welcome and activate new account holders, stimulate ongoing utilization, and improve account retention.

I've got to be honest, this has been an off week for me. My husband has been extremely busy with work, and my kids caught a nasty stomach flu that has rocked our boat for several days. (So far only the kids, Lysol wipes are my new BFF).
So I'm taking a break from minimizing with a post that I hope some of you can relate too. It seems the more moms I meet, the more I find are in a similar situation as me. Moms that are fortunate (and happy!) to be at home with their kids, but have husbands who have to work long hours and/or travel to make it all work.
So…if that is you, even just some of the time, here are some things that I personally have found to make this time alone a bit easier.
Stay positive.
Our kids feed off our moods, if you're allowing yourself to succumb to bad moods, guess what? So will your kids. And grumpy kids are so not fun (like not at all). Negative, self-destructive thoughts about your situation will creep into your mind during these long days, but it's important to stop them before they eat away your happiness. Try focusing on the blessing of the job (I know, I know this is a hard one!!). If you can't stop the mood, try letting yourself cry for a minute. The key is to go there but not stay there; let yourself be sad or angry and process that feeling…but then get the heck out because that's not a good place to live. I'm not gonna lie, I have to do this quite often. It really helps get the stress out before my husband comes home, that way I'm not as likely to take out my frustration on him. Because although yes, motherhood is hard and we have every right to feel this way…taking it out on our hardworking husbands is not the answer nor is it helpful. Trust me, they feel bad enough about missing out.
Tackle a project.
Nothing sucks out my will to live like watching endless hours of useless t.v. (ok dramatic I know, but I know this because I've done it). I really get a renewed sense of purpose when I tackle and accomplish a project. Whether it's finally putting away that heap of laundry, reading a book, decluttering a room or refinishing a piece of furniture to sell. The sense of accomplishment can really boost my mood (and improve my life). Bonus if you can find a way to make some money doing it! I am a freelance graphic designer on the side and I love to use some of my time to tackle projects that keep my skills sharp. Think about what you love and how you can put it to use – you never know, you might be a budding entrepreneur!
Get active.
Nothing shakes a bad mood like some exercise. Especially if it's out in the fresh air and sunshine. My personal favorite is a simple walk. It kills that extra time between dinner and bedtime in the evening and gets the kids out to work off those end-of-day wiggles. If not in the evening, the pre-naptime walk is a fantastic way to guarantee you'll get some good naps (and some alone time). When the weather doesn't cooperate, I stick to the treadmill or a workout on YouTube. Not my favorite, but it is definitely better than nothing!
Distribute the fun.
Know your spouse will be gone for a week? Plan one fun thing per day to give the kids, and yourself, something to look forward too. It doesn't have to be big and expensive, just fun. Our favorites are going to the zoo, the splash pad, the park, Tuesday 1/2 price movies, walking to the ice cream shop, hiking at the local recreation area, visiting the lake, story time at the library, playdates with buddies. You get the idea. Every community is different and every community has their own unique things to do. If you're on a tight budget, don't get discouraged! There are so many free options out there, you just have to know where to look. Other moms are a wealth of knowledge, tap into your friends for ideas.
Get creative with self-care.
I get it. Self care is a big deal right now. I know you can't pour from an empty cup, blah blah blah. It's just that sometimes you have no one else to take your kids for a few hours so you can get a latte and a pedicure. We live far away from family and I can't afford to pay a babysitter every few days when I need a break. What I've learned after four years of this schedule is that it doesn't take much to give me a little more fuel to get through the day. Some things I love to do for myself are getting a cup of my favorite coffee to sip at the library, taking a good book to the park to read while my kids play, or soaking in a hot bath after the kids go to bed (or nap). Maybe you'll even get lucky and find another mom who is desperate for some alone time too so you can arrange a child care swap with her a couple times a month to squeeze in some of that much needed real alone time.
Create a clutter free living space.
We've all got enough on our plate to manage without adding a bunch of useless stuff to take care of! A clean house eases anxiety and reduces stress. This pas week, with sick kids and an absent husband has been really hard, but not as hard as similar situations have been in the past. I honestly think its because I've created better order in my house so when life happens and I'm up to my waist in puke covered laundry…I can just focus on that and not on the piles of junk on my counters.

Release Date: September 28, 2017
My Rating: 5 STARS
A bad boy with something to prove.
A woman with a mission.
The race of their lives.
The love of a lifetime.
I don't think his parents expected him to live up to his name—Racer Tate—but once he felt the adrenaline rush behind the wheel, he was addicted.
He's the fastest, fiercest driver around.
Scouting new talent brings me to his doorstep...
but his smile sends me to my knees.
The sexy, mysterious Racer Tate is not the kind of man a girl like me falls for. He's secretive, reckless, elusive. But his proximity pushes me beyond reason, and his kiss....
This is our last chance to win, and he is our only hope. I'm supposed to watch him—make sure he doesn't get into trouble. But it's an impossible task. And now the one in heart wrenching, toe-curling, soul-crushing trouble is me. Because when your heart belongs to someone, their truths become your own, and their secrets become your salvation...or your curse.
He says he wants me. He says I'm the One. But he also thinks he'll break my heart, one piece at a time until it's gone.
I'm still reeling. While people approach him, he cuts a path straight to me, his gaze penetrating and target-like; making me want to bolt.
His lips do that little upward tilt they do that seems so sexy, and for a second, I feel like I'm lightheaded.
I gulp, and then feel mad at myself for acting like some idiot as fucking devil-Racer Tate reaches me, throws himself into a seat next to me, and turns to look at me expectantly with the most gorgeous grin on his face.
I don't know what to say.
This guy has left me sort of speechless.
"So … " I say, staring in the distance at his beat-up mustang, then at him.
"So … " he says too, in his deep voice, his smile a little more wicked than it was two seconds ago. He glances at my mouth.
Oh god.
Why am I licking my lips?
It only made his eyes narrow and darken.
I open my mouth to speak, failing to find words. He smells like sweat and soap and shampoo, and I feel my traitorous nipples push up to my top again. Why do they do that when he's around?
"This is illegal," I state.
His voice is husky from exertion, and his eyes glint with laughter. "That's why it's fun."
I look away from his eyes, trying to focus and clear my head. He leans over and peers into my face, his face shadowed by the moonlight and his jaw now carrying a little scruff. "Are we in agreement?" he presses.
"No." I glare and shake my head, meeting his cocky gaze. "You're reckless, Racer."
"So are you, Alana."
"It's just … Lana."
His brows fly up in surprise. "And a bit of a liar too."
I purse my lips, still glaring as my gaze goes back to his car. Girls are rubbing against it as if it were him, and I find it disgusting. Why are women always acting so slutty around race car drivers and bad boys?
"You crashed your car," I say flippantly.
"You crashed my car," he contradicts, amused.
I laugh, then scowl in his direction. "You crashed it more. I can't believe you were making such a fuss about me crashing into you when it was just a little kiss—"
He leans in to peck my lips—fast but firmly. "That's a kiss."
I lose my breath.
My eyes wide.
He eases back, lips smiling as he comes to his feet and stretches his hand out to take me by the elbow and help me to my feet.
"Let's get out of here." He starts walking, leading the way.
"And go where?"
"Anywhere I can get my hands on you."
Racer, Racer, Racer. So much like his father with a lot of Remy's lessons already learned from by the hands of his mother no doubt. This boy STOLE. MY. HEART. He and Lana are THE COUPLE. This book was unique in a way, there wasn't a true big conflict. Just a passionately intense getting to know one another. Or rather claiming one another. Of course it's not all easy. It's hard as is any relationship, but even more so with a couple who has the hurdles of Lana and Racer.
This book will make your heart pound right out of your chest. It's unbelievably sexy and soul-searingly sweet.
Happy Reading!

Kings look for turnaround in Detroitby John Kreiser
KINGS (3-4-2) at RED WINGS (6-4-1)
Last 10: Detroit 6-3-1
Season series: The teams are meeting for the first of three times this season. Detroit won three of four in 2011-12, including both games at Joe Louis Arena.
Big story: The Kings' quest for a second straight Stanley Cup isn't off to a good start - they've won only three of their first nine games and are coming off a 3-0 loss at Nashville on Thursday. The Red Wings are finding ways to keep their heads above water - they edged Edmonton 2-1 on Saturday.
Team Scope:
Kings: After a frustrating night in Nashville on Thursday - the Kings outshot the Predators 32-14 but trailed three minutes into the game and couldn't play catch-up - the Kings are likely to have some new line combinations on Sunday. One big change could be the reuniting of veteran center Mike Richards with young wings Jordan Nolan and Dwight King. That threesome worked well together last spring.
The Kings have to find goals somewhere - they're averaging just 2.1 per game and have had two goals or fewer in six of their nine games.
"We need our top guys to be a hell of a lot better players," coach Darryl Sutter said. "That's clear."
Red Wings: Things are looking better in Detroit, where the Red Wings have won three in a row after topping the Oilers on Saturday. Niklas Kronwall's third-period power-play goal broke a 1-1 tie and Jimmy Howard stopped 23 shots as the Wings found a way to win despite a sensational effort by Edmonton goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin.
Pavel Datsyuk scored Detroit's first goal and set up Kronwall's game-winner. The Red Wings are 4-0-0 this season when Datsyuk lights the lamp.
"He's got the whole package," Kronwall said. "It doesn't matter what position you put him in, he's going to be your best player."
Who's hot: No one on the Kings' roster has more than five points in L.A.'s first nine games. … Henrik Zetterberg has four points (all assists) in Detroit's last three games. Kronwall's goal was his first of the season, but he's among the leading scorers among defensemen because he has eight assists.
Injury report: The Kings are without two key defensemen, Willie Mitchell (knee) and Matt Greene (back surgery). Both may miss the rest of the season. … The Wings are a walking M*A*S*H unit - Todd Bertuzzi (back) sat out Saturday, joining defensemen Brendan Smith (back) and Carlo Colaiacovo (shoulder), center Darren Helm (back) and forwards Jan Mursak (collarbone) and Mikael Samuelsson (groin).

Udoh: Enyimba face Akwa United with high expectations
Mfon Udoh, expected to make a return for Enyimba, points out they are going to Uyo to face Akwa United with high expectations.
The People's Elephant captain missed his team's 4-0 bashing of El Kanemi Warriors on Wednesday so as properly recover from the knock he suffered in the prior game with Nasarawa United but the striker has informed that he is fit and raring to go to ensure that the Aba giants maintain their unbeaten records against the Promise Keepers in Uyo in the last two seasons this term again.
"Akwa United are a tough side and we must give them the credit for the brand of football they have played this season," Udoh told Goal.
"We know any match against them is always tough and this one fixed for Sunday will no doubt be tough. We have so many factors giving us the self-belief that we could walk away with even the three points if we play with our hearts.
"They are yet to beat us in the last two seasons and the fact that they will overtake us in the league table with a win on Sunday is additional motivation urging us on to try and go with the mindset that we could get a good result again," he continued.
"It is good to be back after missing the last game. We cannot compromise our health for anything in the world and I want to praise the medical team for a job well done. We are promising us all that we are going to make them smile at the end of the encounter on Sunday."
Enyimba could move to second in the league table if they grab a victory in Uyo on Sunday, with other results in their favour. They are currently third on the table with 41 points from 26 matches.

This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
Course materials
Although these are something that you take for granted when taking part in any class, they play a vital role in providing the student with valuable information and the teacher with a teaching aid that can readily be related to. They can be broken down into 3 main types: 1. Authentic 2. Created or non-authentic 3. Course books Let's look at these individually. Course materials are used to enhance a lesson both for the teacher and the student. Therefore using the correct material is very important. Authentic materials are ones that can be found in a multitude of places, photographs, magazine articles, crosswords, songs, newspapers and actual objects such as fruit (apple) or a vegetable (carrot). In fact anything that the student can see, hear, read or feel comes under the banner of an authentic material. There are a few disadvantages with using these, for instance the correct choice of material must be chosen to suit a particular lesson so time must be made available to research this. Plus there are so many available that it is important not to rush selection and use the first one to hand. The lesson will be greatly improved by the correct material choice. But I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. They are readily available just about
anywhere and the internet supply a lot specifically geared towards TEFL. They are easy for the student to understand because in most cases they will have knowledge of the material. It is very important for the teacher to know what the students do at work and in their spare time so that the correct material can be chosen to suit the majority of students in the class. A certain amount of pre-class work must be done to make them a viable teaching aid, such as photocopying, creating multiple copies in another way or laminating. Created or non-authentic materials are ones that the teacher creates manually. There are advantages when using these as they can be created for a specific purpose and geared to a particular subject to be taught. This can be a time consuming exercise as the teacher will need a fair amount of preparation time, for instance cutting out pictures from books to create prompt card. These will just about always need to be mounted on card for long lasting use and possibly laminated. Research into the correct material must also be considered, another time consuming activity. The main advantage is they will be made to suit the exact lesson plan with the knowledge level of the class in mind. If made correctly they, like the authentic materials, can be used multiple times.
In general with experience a mix of authentic and non-authentic materials will be the best teaching option. The third course material commonly used in most teaching establishments is the course book. In certain schools this may be a strict requirement, in other schools it may be left to the teacher's discretion. The course book can be an invaluable part of teaching for both the teacher and the student. It is a tried and tested method that provides the teacher with teaching requirements over a certain time period and gives the teacher a guide as to how well the class is absorbing knowledge. For the student it acts as a course syllabus, a learning guide and a valuable source of information that can be used outside the classroom for revision purposes. I personally would not recommend its sole use when teaching but a mixture of the course book and the teachers own teaching methods in conjunction with the materials mentioned above will give a balanced approach to teaching and learning. In conclusion, course materials are a vital part of the teaching process and should be treated as such in both preparation and use. Teaching without them would be a considerable challenge for both teacher and student alike.

Elsewhere on this page is a letter from William Kirwan, chancellor of the University System of Maryland. In his letter, Kirwan reinforces what The Herald-Mail has been saying in recent editorials - that even though renovation of the old Baldwin House in downtown Hagerstown is under way, it would be dangerous to conclude that this project is in the bag.
That's because the construction money is one thing, while operating expenses are another. As Maryland struggles to close a large gap between revenues and expenses, it would be too easy for lawmakers to say something like this:
"Because of the financial constraints facing this state, we need to delay any new programs until the state is in a better position to fund them. We anticipate that happening within three years."
And if the project gets delayed once, what's to stop it from happening again?
I'm sure the state is having financial difficulties, but I'm also certain that there are items in the budget that are less important than giving local people the opportunity to get a four-year degree without traveling extensively to do it.

The Illinois sublease is typical for roommate types of situations or if a person that holds a lease will be moving out and wants to relet the property to someone else (sublessee). This new tenant whether it be a roommate or the sole sublessee should have to fill in a credit application to make sure he or she is qualified to pay the rental amount every month. The original tenant (and not the landlord) is responsible for all evictions on the property and if the sublessee does not pay the original rent amount is still due to the landlord.
- Make sure that to check and see if the housing unit was built prior to 1978. If so, the sublessee will need to be provided the lead paint disclosure form.

European stocks rallied bolstered by the prospect of US lending rates remaining lower for a while and a report that Greece was drawing up another plan for economic reforms.
The UK benchmark FTSE 100 Index advanced 0.9% and hit record highs breaking the 7000 point ceiling for the first time in history.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index inched 0.8% to 404.1 points at the close of trading on Friday having exceeded its 2007 peak. The index is now only 0.4% below its 15-year closing record having topped the estimates of 12 analysts polled by Bloomberg at the beginning of the year.
All sectors of the index inched up on the day led by advances in oil and gas 2.4%, and basic resources stocks, 2.40%. The sectors benefitted by a major slump in the dollar aiding dollar denominated commodities.
The Stoxx has rallied 18% this year on optimism that the ECB's buyback program would bolster the region's economy and a weaker euro would help bolster earnings.
"This year's rally in Europe is the start of something rather than the end of it," Ben Kumar, who helps oversee about $12 billion at Seven Investment Management in London, told Bloomberg.
"There might be a few wobbles on the way. People still tend to look for the negatives in Europe, which is why they may have underestimated the extent of the gains. With what the ECB is doing, and some relief that the Fed is in no rush to raise rates, stocks are the natural home for investors right now."
Global investors are betting on the weaker euro to boost the Euro zone's economy and corporate earnings. The Federal Reserve on Wednesday gave its strongest indication yet that it would wait to raise its interest rates until after there is a marked improvement in the economy.
"Now that investors are reassured about the pace at which the Fed will normalize its monetary policy, this year's positive trend on the market is set to continue. We will see further investment flows coming into Europe," Barclays France director Franklin Pichard told Reuters.
