Investors should be very cautious when considering trading in stock after the SEC has suspended trading in the shares. An SEC trading suspension is a "red flag," often indicating the SEC has concerns about the information that the company has been providing to the public. By law, an SEC suspension usually ends after ten business days, even if the company has not provided current, accurate information about itself. However, when a company does not provide current, reliable information about itself and its finances, trading its shares can be very risky.
Why would the SEC suspend trading in a stock?
The SEC may suspend trading in a stock when the Commission is of the opinion that a suspension is required to protect investors and the public interest. Circumstances that might lead the Commission to suspend trading include:
- A lack of current, accurate, or adequate information about the company, for example, when a company has not filed any periodic reports for an extended period;
- Questions about the accuracy of publicly available information, including in company press releases and reports, about the company's current operational status and financial condition;
- Questions about trading in the stock, including trading by insiders, potential market manipulation, and the ability to clear and settle transactions in the stock.
How long do trading suspensions typically last?
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 authorizes the SEC to suspend trading in a stock for up to ten business days. A list of companies whose stock is currently suspended, or which have been subject to an SEC suspension, may be found here.
What happens after a trading suspension ends?
When an SEC trading suspension ends, a broker-dealer may not solicit investors to buy or sell the previously-suspended stock until certain requirements are met. Before soliciting trades or resuming quotations in a stock that has been subject to a trading suspension, a broker-dealer must file a Form 211 with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") representing that it has satisfied all applicable requirements, including those of Rule 15c2-11.
Among other things, Rule 15c2-11 requires broker-dealers to review and maintain certain documents and information about the company, including:
- the corporation's organization, operations, and control affiliates;
- the nature of the securities outstanding and being traded; and
- the issuer's most recent balance sheet and its profit and loss and retained
earnings statement.
No broker-dealer may solicit or recommend that an investor buy shares in a stock that has been subject to a trading suspension unless and until FINRA has approved a Form 211 relating to the stock. If there are continuing regulatory concerns about the company, its disclosures, or other factors, such as a pending regulatory investigation, a Form 211 application may not be approved.
However, limited or "unsolicited" trading can occur in a stock that has been subject to a trading suspension after the suspension ends but before a Form 211 is approved. This may allow investors to trade the stock when a broker or adviser has not solicited or recommended such a transaction. Even though such trading is allowed, it can be very risky for investors without current and reliable information about the company.
Take Precautions Following an SEC Trading Suspension: Check For Reliable Information.
Investors should be very cautious in considering an investment in a stock following a trading suspension. At very least, investors should assure themselves that they have current and reliable information about a company before investing.
- Research the Company: Always research a company before buying its stock, especially following a trading suspension. Consider the company's finances, organization, and business prospects. This type of information often is included in filings that a company makes with the SEC.
- Review the Company's SEC Filings: This information is free and can be found on the Commission's EDGAR filing system.
- Beware of Companies that do not File Reports with the SEC: Some companies are not required to file reports with the SEC. These are known as "non-reporting" companies. Be aware of the risks of trading the stock of such companies, as there may not be current and accurate information that would allow you to make an informed investment decision.
- Be Skeptical: Whenever someone gives you a "hot" tip, always ask why. Make sure that you do your own research. Keep in mind that information from online blogs, social networking sites, and even a company's own website may be inaccurate and sometimes intentionally misleading:
If you cannot obtain current, reliable information about a company and its stock, this may not be a good investment for you.

Description: Michael Rader, who was honored as a journeyman smith June 2006, is best known for creating dramatic swords and daggers with woodwork that is beyond compare. When he puts his attention to creating chef's knives, the results are exceptional.
The European chef's knife (known as a gyuto in Japan) is well suited for use as a general purpose chef's knife -- from chopping, to slicing and dicing -- from fruits to vegetables and meats, the chef's knife is a great choice. The long blade is needed for the sawing motion required to cut meat and vegetables and the slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance right.
Michael began by forging the integral blade to shape using his own damascus steel. By incorporating 8660 as well as 52100 and 15N20 carbon steels, Michael assures a keen long lasting edge, as well as exceptional contrast. The resulting layers of steel form a convoluted, dramatic pattern that traverses the blade.
The bolster is integral -- a technique that, while relatively common in production knives, is very rare in handmade knives due to the difficulty of implementation. Like his hunting knives, this chef's knife was pre-tested for edge flex and cutting ability before assembly.
The handle is formed from maple burl with curly maple accents. By using stabilized woods, Michael is able to combine the beauty of natural wood with durability. Alternating brass and G10 spacers highlight warm tones in the natural wood. The knife has perfect balance and feels exceptional in the hand.

When i girl stands on your cock grabs you by the shoulders and jumps up and down, simulating a pogo stick, its like a footski but standing up on your cock
by bigbear4080 December 15, 2008
Similar to the moped (fun to ride but you dont want your friends to see you on it) a pogo stick is a girl or guy so god awful that you bounce on them once then discard them and never play with them again
I picked your mom up at the bar. I hopped on that pogo stick for a couple hours and tossed her out like a parking ticket.

The New York Times on the ark park
The New York Times offered its view on Kentucky's decision to grant tax incentives to Ark Encounter, the proposed creationist theme park in northern Kentucky. In its May 31, 2011, editorial, the Times wrote, "A project just approved in Kentucky pushes the constitutional envelope," arguing that although the incentives are likely to withstand a possible legal challenge, "granting tax incentives to the explicitly Christian enterprise clearly clashes with the First Amendment's prohibition on government establishment of religion. Public money is not supposed to pay to advance religion. Kentucky's citizens should certainly ask themselves if this is really the best use of taxpayer dollars."
Kentucky's own newspapers have been concerned about the state's involvement with Ark Encounter — as well as the message it sends about the state's commitment to science. For example, the Louisville Courier-Journal (December 2, 2010) editorially complained, "in a state that already suffers from low educational attainment in science, one of the last things Kentucky officials should encourage, even if only implicitly, is for students and young people to regard creationism as scientifically valid," and the Lexington Herald-Leader (December 3, 2010) editorially observed, "Hostility to science, knowledge and education does little to attract the kind of employers that will provide good-paying jobs with a future."

Celta, Zaragoza, Mallorca in last 16 of Copa del Rey
Madrid, Nov 30 – Celta, Real Zaragoza and Mallorca have advanced into the round of 16 in Spain's Copa del Rey.
Celta Vigo defeated Almeria 3-0 to overcome a 0-2 defeat in the home leg against the second division side who played well in the first half Thursday, reports Xinhua.
After the break, however, South Korean striker Park put Celta ahead and Roberto Lago's goal in the 92nd minute took the game into extra time, where it was decided by a goal by Quique de Lucas. Celta will play Real Madrid in the next round.
Zaragoza sneaked into the last 16 on away goals despite a 1-2 defeat in Granada. Ighalo and Diego Mainz scored for the home side, but Jose Mari's 55th minute goal ensured Zaragoza progressed.
The day's final match saw Mallorca and Deportivo la Coruna draw 0-0. Mallorca qualified thanks to the away goals rule after the 1-1 draw in La Coruna in the first leg.
Meanwhile all of the favourites such as FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia and Atletico Madrid all assured their progress to the last 16 Tuesday and Wednesday.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy plans to start a pair of 16-game winners in the first two games of the National League division series. After that, he says he's not sure what he'll do.
Matt Cain will pitch Game 1 against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday and left-hander Madison Bumgarner will go in Game 2 on Sunday. The two tied for the team lead in victories and were instrumental down the stretch when San Francisco won the NL West for the second time in three years.
Two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum and 15-game winner Barry Zito have also been key for the Giants. But Bochy said Thursday he's unsure whether he'll use the two in starting roles or out of the bullpen. That goes for Ryan Vogelsong as well.
``More than anything it's really vital for us to have all hands on deck here the first two games,'' Bochy said in explaining his reluctance to name a Game 3 starter. ``If we want to use some guys in the rotation early here, then we'll do that. We wanted to keep our options open.''
The uncertainty over the back end of the rotation might seem strange given that starting pitchers are creatures of habit and generally stay on a carefully mapped out throwing routine in between starts.
Zito, who was left off the Giants postseason roster entirely two years ago when the franchise won its first World Series title since 1954, doesn't think that will be an issue.
The 34-year-old left-hander has started 172 games and made six relief appearances since signing a $126 million, seven-year contract with San Francisco before the 2007 season.
``I've (come) out of the bullpen many times as a starter here,'' Zito said. ``A lot of the other guys have done that, too. You change your routine going into it. You can't be stupid about it. Other than that, if you're on the mound you're on the mound.''
The Giants gathered for a voluntary workout at AT&T Park and players took batting practice while Bumgarner threw a bullpen session as stadium workers hurried to get the stadium ready for Saturday's Game 1. Truckloads of merchandise arrived throughout the afternoon and red, white and blue bunting was hung around the waterfront ballpark.
Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker was a surprise visitor to the workout.
Baker, the former Giants skipper who recently rejoined the Reds after missing 11 games while recovering from a mini-stroke and irregular heartbeat, stood behind the batting cage and joked with current San Francisco scout Felipe Alou - who replaced Baker as manager.
If Baker hoped to get an insight as to what the Giants plans are for their rotation, he was disappointed.
Cain, the NL starter in the All-Star game who earlier this season pitched the first perfect game in franchise history, was an easy call for Game 1. Likewise with Bumgarner, the 23-year-old who was second on the team in ERA, strikeouts and innings pitched.
``You look at the years that Matt and Madison have had, that's why they're going Game 1 and Game 2,'' Bochy said. ``We feel like these two have earned these starts and that's why they're out there.''
The rest of the rotation is unclear for various reasons.
Zito was one of San Francisco's top pitchers down the stretch to finish with his best season yet since the 2002 AL Cy Young Award joined the Giants. He won his last five starts and seven decisions in the regular season, and hasn't lost since Aug. 2.
More critically for San Francisco, the Giants went 11-0 after Aug. 6 with Zito on the mound. That's vastly different from 2010 when he won only one game over the final two months.
``I'm just happy to be here,'' Zito said. ``Happy to be here, happy to be on the roster, happy to be having fun playing baseball right now. Everything else is gravy.''
Lincecum, the Giants former ace who lost 10 of his first 13 decisions this season, rebounded well but still finished with a career-high 15 losses.
The question for Bochy is whether to keep Lincecum in the rotation or put him the bullpen two years after the right-hander pitched the Giants past the Rangers in the Game 5 World Series clincher at Texas.
Vogelsong, 35, would seem the most likely of the three to go to the bullpen. He struggled over the final seven weeks of the season when he had a 6.75 ERA over his final 10 starts.
``We may use Timmy in the `pen, we may use Vogelsong in the `pen or Zito,'' Bochy said. ``They'll know exactly what's going on. We'll make sure that they're ready. That's right now what we think is the best way to about it.''

I was listening to a man talking about shaping alaia boards. He said they were too hard for big guys to stand on but were great fun as body boards. It got me thinking.
I have a need/want for a single board that I could use for kiting and surfing.
Not a strapless surfboard, I've got one of those and it's too big and too fragile for easy traveling.
I'm thinking of something short and wide. It could be ridden in the surf as a body board or knee board, ridden strapless as a wake skate or mutant directional. Maybe some easily removed straps so you could change things about quickly without using tools.
Perhaps an alaia shape might do the trick.
I have a paragliding kit that weighs 5kg and fits in a day pack. I threw it in the bag for the last holiday. It would be good if I could do something similar with a micro kitesurf/surf kit. Add some flippers and a diving mask and I have the full set of holiday activities covered.

Russell Pate, Ph.D., summarized the conclusions on integrated
recommendations for youth.
Endurance training increases cardio-respiratory fitness among
children and adolescents, males and females; however no conclusions can be made
on race, ethnicity or SES. The data suggests endurance training increases VO2
max by 5 to 15%; however, the optimal dose of activity needed to obtain
improvements cannot be specified. A recent review concluded that an intensity of
greater than 80% of maximal heart rate with a frequency of 3 – 4 days per week
for 30 – 60 minutes of duration over 1 – 3 months improves cardio-respiratory
fitness. The data to support these conclusions consists of Type 1, 2, 3a and 3b,
strong evidence.
Physical activity is positively related to muscular strength.
Resistance training 2 or 3 times per week significantly improves muscular
strength. Resistance training increases muscular strength in children and
adolescents, males and females; however, the data cannot conclude anything on
the effects by race, ethnicity or SES. The type of evidence to support the
conclusions includes Type 2b, strong evidence.
Non-obese youth who have relatively high levels of physical
activity tend to have less adiposity; however, programs that increase physical
activity in normal weight youth typically have little effect on adiposity.
Controlled training studies with overweight youth have observed reductions in
overall adiposity and visceral adiposity with exposure to regular
moderate-to-vigorous activity 3 – 5 times per week with duration of 30 – 60
minutes each. There is no consistent evidence for a dose-response pattern and no
conclusions can be made on race, ethnicity or SES. These conclusions are
supported by Type 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, strong evidence.
Physical activity is positively related to cardiovascular and
metabolic health in youth. There appears to be a dose-response relationship;
however, the pattern has not been determined. Very little is known about the
effects of age, maturity, gender, race, ethnicity and SES on the relationship
between physical activity and cardiovascular and metabolic health. This is
supported by Type 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b, strong, evidence.
Physical activity is positively related to bone health. Targeted
weight loading activities that simultaneously influence muscular strength, done
on a daily basis, are most effective. It is challenging to compare mode and dose
due to variability across studies. No conclusions can be made on a dose-response
relationship as more studies are needed. The relationship between physical
activity and bone health is influenced by age and development status and the
bone health of both boys and girls is improved by physical activity. No
conclusions can be made regarding race, ethnicity and SES. The conclusions are
supported by Type 1 and 3a, strong, evidence.
During childhood and adolescence, physical activity exerts a
beneficial effect on symptoms of anxiety and depression. The varying
methodologies and insufficient numbers of intervention trials preclude
inferences about dose-response patterns. The research cannot support any
conclusions regarding race, ethnicity or SES. Conclusions in the area of
depression are supported by Type 1, 2b, 3a and 3b, moderate strength, evidence.
Conclusions in the area of anxiety are supported by Type 1 and 3b, weak level of
strength evidence.
Overall, important health benefits can be expected to accrue to
most children and youth who participate daily in 60 or more minutes of
moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Regular participation in resistance
exercise yields enhancement of muscular strength in the large muscle groups of
the trunk and limbs. Vigorous aerobic exercise results in enhanced
cardio-respiratory fitness and improved cardiovascular and metabolic health risk
factors. Weight loading activities promotes bone health.

NHIAA Soccer: Bedford girls edge Central on late goal by PhilbrickBy HARRY KOZLOWSKI
Special to the Union Leader
October 24. 2013 11:54PM
BEDFORD — Bedford's Rachel Philbrick scored the winning goal in the 66th minute to lift the Bedford girls' soccer team past Manchester Central 2-1 in a regular-season finale.
The win assured the Bulldogs of Division I's No. 3 seed for the upcoming tournament, which starts next Wednesday.
Central went up 1-0 on a penalty kick by Devin Lacroix in the 12th minute. The kick was awarded when a Bedford defender stopped a shot with her hands.
But Bedford responded just two minutes later with a goal by Johanna Celli on a crisp pass from Anna Bogursky.
Philbrick scored from point-blank range to win it.

I agree the lighting is nothing like a lighting specialist would approve of. It was not taken in a studio - it was taken in the passageway of a grand old home. I'm happy with how the lighting ended up in the final version.
I am hardly a portrait expert, but within 3 seconds of seeing your images I thought "the lighting is all wrong." And, lighting is everything in portraits, or at least 90%. Not even the most accomplished LR wizard can fix bad lighting, I am afraid. So, the problem as I see it is the photo and not your LR skills.
... results I'm looking for in LR...
It's not a bag original though some may not like the wide angle perspective on a tight face shot.
How is a 135mm focal length on a full frame sensor equivalent to using a wide angle?
Hi Bart and Slobodan,My display is calibrated and I'm pretty happy with the print. I'm actually really curious to know what adjustments you'd make in LR to make it look good - if you like, can I share the RAW with you? I just cannot seem to manipulate the color and tonal range in LR to get anything even remotely close to the look I can get in Perfect Effects.
Thanks for sharing those maps. I'd never seen them before. I'll look into them in Photoshop myself. One thing I am confused about however: her skin tones vary as we would expect, as does the general lighting of the scene. Why is it important to make them consistent throughout the image?

'House M.D.'
The scene: Dr. Gregory House is an antisocial medical genius who leads a team of diagnosticians to solve puzzling cases at a teaching hospital. The Sherlock reference? It's elementary: House, played by Hugh Laurie, shares many characteristics with Sherlock Holmes, on whom his character is partly based. While using logic to solve medical mysteries, House shares Holmes' indifference toward clients, his addiction to drugs (Holmes enjoyed cocaine and morphine), and a close relationship with a doctor who serves as a confidant. House is shown with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books, and several minor characters in the show are named for characters in the Sherlock stories.

Helenius, Riku
Helenius Cleared to PlaySubmitted by chad on March 16, 2007 - 09:49
Bolt Prospects has learned from the Lightning that 2006 first rounder Riku Helenius has been cleared to play after recovering from shoulder surgery. Helenius, who was named the Lightning's top-ranked prospect and the 41st overall ranked prospect in The Hockey News' Future Watch, will participate in an under-19 tournament in St. Petersburg, Russia starting April 10.
Helenius' junior team has completed its season, recently being knocked out of the playoffs, and the goaltender will not join the Ilves Elite team as they're currently in a playoff run.

Helenius May Miss Rest of SeasonSubmitted by Anonymous on February 27, 2007 - 10:22
According to Ilves news, "Goaltender Riku Helenius is not yet capable to play. Helenius apparently will not recover this season."
Helenius recoveringSubmitted by Anonymous on January 10, 2007 - 05:13
I talked yesterday with doctor (M.D) of Team Ilves about Riku Helenius. He said, that Riku´s healing is in schedule. Riku has no-contact "order", but he is practicing at ice. I understand, what doctor said, that Riku is skating, but nothing more. They will evaluate Riku´s permission to play in late February. So Riku might get in action early March. Sadly I know, that Riku will play in Ilves Jr. team rest of the season, because men´s team has already two goalies. We will hope, that Tuukka Rask is heading to Boston next summer and Riku might get a chance to be No. 1 goalie in Team Ilves in next season.
Helenius Done for the SeasonSubmitted by pete on November 16, 2006 - 22:06
According to the Tampa Tribune, 2006 1st round pick Riku Helenius is done for the year after undergoing shoulder surgery. Also, contrary to previous speculation, Andy Rogers has been diagnosed with a hip injury drawing the ire of Lightning management.

Helenius Undergoes SurgerySubmitted by chad on November 2, 2006 - 23:16
According to the Lightning, 2006 first rounder Riku Helenius underwent surgery on his injured shoulder and will be out up to three months.
Helenius was expected to be the starting goaltender for Finland at this year's World Junior Championships, but he will not be recovered in time for the tournament.

The Mono Project releases version 2.2 this week with full support for SIMD extensions being one of the more interesting features (Betanews article). The extension allows SIMD code to be accelerated above and beyond the speed of past Mono and current .NET releases. Johnathan Allen from InfoQ impresses the significance of the latest Mono release in a blog entry. "It represents something bigger; Mono is outgrowing the standard. Mono is not just playing catch-up any more, it is trying to move past the CLR in many areas. And as an open source project, they can slip in new libraries at a much faster clip than Microsoft. Instead of trying to build everything themselves, they can simply pick up mature projects like Mono. Options or the collection library C5 and include them in the standard release."

The Inter forward labelled the Juventus coach a "quaquaraqua" - Neapolitan slang for somebody who talks a lot but without any substance - and said Conte could not comment on his actions due to his own moral misgivings.
That accusation has forced the 43-year-old to issue a fierce defence of himself and deliver a damning verdict on the 30-year-old's latest outburst.
"I was astounded to read the statements from Mr Cassano, following which I am forced to make certain clarifying points," he told the official Juventus website.
"First of all I never used the term morality, despite the fact I have it in spades. I have already expressed my opinion on the ban for failing to report match-fixing in the past."
The former AC Milan man also claimed the Bianconeri only ever sign small players, with Conte insisting the club purchase those with specific professional characteristics - an area he says Cassano is lacking.
"When asked how I choose players for Juventus, I said we look to the man, by which I meant how he interprets the role of a footballer in a professional manner," he continued.
"That means effort, commitment, respecting the rules and the roles of others, plus caring about the common good of the team.
"I think that Mr Cassano has already shown many times over his career both on and off the field – such as his impressions of Fabio Capello at Real Madrid or insulting gestures at referee Roberto Rosetti and other incidents – that he does not have the requisite characteristics I am looking for."

We go behind the scenes with Valerie Walsh Valdes, co-creator and executive producer of Nickelodeon's megahit.
6:40 a.m.: Two-year-old Violet acts as my alarm clock. She's never late and doesn't need batteries. Somehow, Dad sleeps through her desperate calls for "Da-da!"
6:55 a.m.: Olive, my 4-year-old, joins us in the kitchen for breakfast. She shows her sister how to mix four different kinds of cereal together for the perfect blend. I sweep up.
7:30 a.m.: Storytime. Violet chooses a book with Diego, Dora's cousin. We've read it at least 15 times this week (I meant to hide it last night but forgot).
9 a.m.: In a Dora writing meeting with our New York team via video conference. I try to avoid passing along the story notes Olive gave me last night.
2 p.m.: I finally emerge from the meeting. I do yoga stretches in my office while fantasizing about watching Downton Abbey tonight.
4:30 p.m.: Pick up Olive from school. She begs me to tell her a story on the way home, so I try out a Dora storyline that I'm working on. Instant focus group!
5 p.m.: Violet greets me at door with the same Diego book in hand. Why didn't I hide it?
6:30 p.m.: The girls get to watch two TV shows before bedtime. One is a Dora episode from our first season more than ten years ago. As they laugh at the big bear, they probably don't even realize he's voiced by their dad.
9 p.m.: Violet is down, then Olive goes down. I'm almost down but get a second wind. My husband and I make popcorn and curl up on the sofa to watch Downton Abbey on DVR. Finally, some grown-up time.
11 p.m.: Time for bed. Wait, I forgot to hide that Diego book!

2012 Dodge Avenger Values
Select a 2012 Dodge Avenger trim level
2012 model year changes
For 2012, the Dodge Avenger gets a shakeup in trim names, but the equipment hasn't changed much. The mid-level SXT, formerly "Mainstreet" gets a few new colors in addition to its new name. The "Lux" has been replaced by the R/T model, which gets the 3.6L V6 standard, a 6-speed automatic transmission, sport-tuned suspension and dual exhaust.
Competitive comparison
Freshened sporty styling; safety; powerful V6 engine; long list of high-tech options
Special features for 2012
For a mid-sized sedan, the Avenger stands out in two ways: aggressive, sporty styling, which is borrowed from the Dodge Charger, and its fuel economy, which can manage as high as 30 mpg on the highway. The Avenger's new, redesigned interior features nicer materials and is quieter than in years past, and its upgraded styling and quality makes it a viable alternative in a crowded small car market. The R/T Avenger appeals to driving enthusiasts, and includes sporty suspension, leather interior and special exterior styling.
A mid-size sedan, the 2012 Dodge Avenger utilizes a FWD front engine layout and offers seating for five. The base Avenger is powered by a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 173 hp. Upgrading to the SXT, and R/T trim grants the driver a 3.6-liter V6 engine that yields 283 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Transmission options consist of a standard 4-speed automatic and optional 6-speed automatic. Fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 19 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. Features include ambient LED lighting, automatic temperature control, 8-way power seat, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. The R/T trim offers upgraded 18-inch wheels, remote start, hands-free phone connectivity, sport tuned suspension, performance tuned steering, and z-striped cloth with leather accents. Safety is comprised of front airbags, side airbags, side-curtain airbags, electronic stability control, and traction control. The Avenger is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

LONDON — A man and woman have been jailed for using Twitter to abuse a prominent feminist.
The two were sentenced Friday for sending vulgar messages to activist Caroline Criado-Perez.
Isabella Sorley, 23, received 12 weeks in prison and 25-year-old John Nimmo received an eight-week sentence.
They peppered Criado-Perez with the threatening messages after she led a successful campaign to have a female figure put on British currency.
Criado-Perez was one of several women who went public earlier last year to complain about sexually explicit abuse received on Twitter from online bullies and provocateurs, often nicknamed "trolls."
Twitter responded in August by making it easier to report abuse.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- They don't come any mushier than Bear. As you can see she loves the water!
Bear was recently rescued from a high kill shelter. She appears to be a retriever mix. She is not only gorgeous but is sweet and loves to go for walks.
Bear is pretty energetic so she'd love a family who will keep her busy, although when it is time to rest she loves to just melt into you. She is OK with some dogs, so she'd need to meet any dog who may become her new brother or sister.
If you would like to give Bear a home, visit the website or contact:
SPCA of Westchester 590 N. State Road Briarcliff Manor, NY 10510
The SPCA is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. No appointment is necessary.

Certified subs must have bachelor's degrees and state teaching certifications. They get paid $100 per day, roughly $18,000 per year.
Eighth Street Elementary School teacher Allison Phillips scurried around her fifth-grade classroom last week, finalizing bulletin boards and sorting through school supplies.
Across the hall, 30-year veteran fifth-grade teacher Suzi Stickley worked on lesson plans for the 2013-14 school year, which begins Monday.
Both women are state certified and highly qualified to teach fifth grade. They attend the same staff meetings, get the same training, follow the same basic schedule.
But there is one big, albeit hidden, difference: Phillips is a full-time substitute; she is paid about half the salary of a first-year teacher and gets no health insurance benefits.
Phillips is what the Marion County School District calls a long-term certified substitute, about 100 of whom will be teaching this year.
Certified subs must have bachelor's degrees and state teaching certifications. They get paid $100 per day, roughly $18,000 per year.
Parents and students probably can't tell, just from appearances, which teachers are full-time and which are certified subs. In most cases the district isn't even obliged to say who's whom.
Most people agree that the subs work hard. They are professionals, and many are trying to prove they are worthy of a full-time contract should a position open locally or elsewhere. "They are teachers just like any of us," Stickley said.
But there are potential concerns.
The certified subs might be more likely to leave during the school year if a job opens elsewhere. Such moves can disrupt the delicate balance principals must achieve when staffing classrooms and keeping students on pace in an era of rigorous state testing and school grading.
Then there's human nature. Some full-time teachers wonder — publicly — whether the paltry compensation has an effect on certified subs' performance.
"Why would they put out their best effort?" asked Denise Bizjack, a veteran second-grade teacher at Dr. N.H. Jones Elementary School.
The big question remains: As far as students go, is there a discernible difference between a full-time teacher's effectiveness and that of a certified sub?
It turns out there is little state data on the subject, probably because Marion is the first Florida county to use full-time subs on a large scale instead of only for filling in gaps.
Wayne Blanton, the executive director of the Florida School Boards Association, called Marion County a "trailblazer" in that regard.
District administrators say they wish they didn't have to use so many subs. But the move is saving $1.8 million in a cash-strapped budget year.
■ ■ ■
South Ocala Elementary School parent and volunteer Marsha Tripp said she never knows from year to year which teachers are full time and which are certified subs.
If anyone would know, it would be Tripp: She is co-president of the Parent Teacher Organization.
"I know my children have not had one so far," said Tripp, who will have her children, a first-grader and a fourth-grader, at South Ocala beginning Monday.
Tripp said she would have been told if any of her children had been taught by a substitute. But actually, so long as subs are certified in the proper field, the district is not obliged to tell parents.
Officials said that if children are getting a teacher with the same qualifications as a full-time teacher, then the only difference between the two is the title.
Lisa Krysalka, the district's executive director of human resources, said the district is only required to inform parents if their child's teacher is teaching "out of area" — a teacher who is technically not qualified to teach a subject. That applies to full-time teachers as well.
For example, the district must inform parents if a full-time teacher certified to teach physics is assigned to teach biology.
Tripp said that if her child were assigned a certified substitute teacher it would not necessarily be a deal breaker.
"I would want to see how well my child did at the beginning of the year before I made up my mind," she said.
The school district doesn't think she would find a big difference.
"In terms of teaching the students, I have not found that certified subs are any less dedicated or prepared in the classroom," said Rick Lankford, the deputy superintendent over curriculum.
Indeed, "unless someone told you, you would never know they are a (certified) substitute," Stickley said.
It's been 10 years since Stickley's Eighth Street colleague, Phillips, taught school in Clay County. She stayed home with her young children and decided recently it was time to go back to work.
Phillips' children attend Eighth Street, where she has volunteered for years and knows the staff. She applied as a way to get her foot back in the door.
"I am already invested in this school," Phillips said. "I look at it like it is an internship, a way for me to get into teaching after being out for a long time."
Phillips has a state elementary education certification to teach grades one through six. It has expired, though the state issued a temporary one while she updates her training — which happens from time to time to full-time teachers as well.
John McCollum, principal at both Eighth Street Elementary and Osceola Middle School, speaks highly of the certified substitutes he has hired.
McCollum said the district asked principals to hire certified substitutes to fill the first two openings at the schools.
Romeo Elementary School Principal Jane Ashman said she found two long-term substitutes who were both state certified and highly qualified.
Certified means the state has granted them a certificate for their expertise, and highly qualified means they have taken training in other required areas, like ESOL (English as a Second Language.)
"The bottom line is they need a job even if it is for much less (compensation) than a full-time teacher," Ashman said.
She has found that certified substitutes work very hard because "they are dedicated to children and education."
"Plus, they are hoping to be hired full time," she noted.
"They would definitely have a leg up (getting hired) with me because I have actually seen them perform in the classroom," she said.
■ ■ ■
Lisa Russo, a concerned parent, said the widespread use of certified substitutes is unacceptable.
"How can you (the school district) justify this action?" Russo wrote in a letter to the Star-Banner. "It is as if you went to a surgeon's office and got the intern for the procedure."
Russo taught art for seven years at Lake Weir Middle School, leaving in 2004. She said in a recent interview that the practice of using certified subs in lieu of full-time teachers must stop.
"We need to raise the bar, not lower it," she said.
Many veteran teachers agree. Though most teachers support the dedication of certified substitutes, they believe the district's practice is a morale killer — and not necessarily good for the children.
Bizjack, a 30-year educator, said parents need to ask whether their child's teacher is working full time or as a certified substitute.
Like many full-time teachers, she questions whether the district is actually using certified teachers in all the certified substitute positions.
"I think people need to ask to see the certification," Bizjack said.
She said she cannot comprehend the district's belief that these "$100-per-day certified substitutes will actually be totally committed to teaching."
Union representatives and at least two School Board members are also unsettled by the issue. Though not denigrating any individual sub, they suspect the lack of experience of some substitutes could be negatively affecting student test scores and school grades, and indirectly hurting the evaluations of many full-time teachers.
Board member Ron Crawford joined fellow member Nancy Stacy last week in vowing to find money to fill the certified substitute positions with full-time teachers.
"I think we need to take a close look at this," Crawford said.
■ ■ ■
For the past five years or so, the district has been using certified subs to save money during harsh economic times. Last year, the district employed as many as 75, though the official end count was 53.
In 2013-14, the district plans to use even more and save about $1.8 million.
Crawford spent the past week or so trying to determine the effect of long-term certified subs on classroom performance. Though he says his data collection is not 100 percent complete, he has spotted a trend.
The schools with the highest number of certified subs got D grades from the state.
Marion Oaks Elementary, which had a D grade, had five certified substitutes — tied for most in the district.
"Reddick-Collier had five (certified substitutes), and it received a C," he noted.
Crawford said he realizes many factors affect student test scores and, by extension, school grades. Economic status is one such factor.
"I am concerned about the impact of certified substitutes on the classroom. I think we need to take a hard look at how we are distributing them around the county," he said.
Crawford said schools outside Ocala city limits had a higher rate of certified substitutes than schools within 10 miles of downtown Ocala. City schools on average outperform rural schools, he said.
Crawford said that during the 2012-13 school year, schools within the city limits had an average of 1.3 certified subs per school at some point while schools outside the city limits averaged two per school.
Schools earning A and B grades had very few, if any, certified substitutes.
"These A and B schools can absorb the impact of a (certified) substitute more so than a school that is already struggling," he said.
■ ■ ■
The Marion Education Association, the teachers' union, has been walking a tightrope on this issue. Union leaders support certified substitutes in terms of work ethic and value, but they still question their effectiveness.
MEA officials say that, as it stands, there really is no way to know the true impact of certified substitutes.
Like Crawford, MEA President Chris Altobello and Executive Director Craig Ham compiled data that raise questions.
They highlight the fact that the substitutes are not evaluated the same way as full-time teachers.
The state and district use student FCAT performance, including learning gains, when evaluating full-time teachers.
Full-time teachers whose students do not take a state test as part of their class curriculum are evaluated using the school's average FCAT score and learning gain tabulations.
Because student scores are not used to evaluate a certified substitute, the union says there is no real accountability. The actions of substitutes could, indirectly, negatively affect the evaluations of full-time teachers.
The substitutes' student scores count toward the school's average. The union argues that the scores could drag down the schoolwide score used to evaluate many full-time teachers.
MEA officials analyzed certified substitute data from 2011-12. They found that these substitutes appear to be affecting what's known as the Value Added Model (VAM).
A teacher's VAM score is based on students' FCAT scores and learning gains, as well as other classroom data.
At 30 schools that did not have a certified substitute teaching, the average VAM score in 2011-12 was 2.80.
At 11 schools that had only one certified substitute, the VAM dropped to 2.55.
At four schools that had three subs teaching, the VAM was 2.5.
And at two schools with three or more subs, the VAM fell to 2.0.
Like Crawford, union officials acknowledge there are many factors that affect a child's test-taking abilities and, by extension, the data used for teacher evaluations. They also concede that the data need to be studied in depth.
However, Altobello said the union does not want the evaluations of the full-time teachers it represents affected by the non-union substitutes.
Recently, the union lost an unfair labor practice dispute against the district in regard to the use of the certified substitutes. The MEA is challenging that decision.

Athletic Training
How Do You Gain Stamina?
I'm a quarterback for my school and summer workouts are coming up. I want to have the stamina to withstand running in the harsh heat. So what can I do to gain that stamina?
You should begin by gradually increasing activity throughout the coming months so that you are prepared when the summer workouts arrive. Keeping your fitness level up year round will allow you to have the stamina you need to get through the workouts. Proper rest and nutrition are also important.
Another important factor to consider is getting acclimatized to the heat once the summer gets here. Again, a gradual increase in workouts is warranted here. The workouts should be lighter, have frequent breaks, and allow for plenty of hydration (before, during, and after) so that the body can gradually become accustomed to the heat and humidity.

Google's green-energy efforts lead to $75 million investment in Texas wind farms
January 15, 2014 by Jeff
Filed under Green Energy News
AMARILLO, Texas — Google (GOOG) will invest another $75 million in Texas wind farms as the tech giant expands its renewable energy efforts, company officials said.
California-based Google on Tuesday said an agreement has been finalized for the Panhandle 2 wind turbine site in Carson County, near Amarillo.
A Google statement said the facility, developed by Pattern Energy Group LP, should have the capacity to generate enough renewable energy to power 56,000 U.S. homes. Company officials expect the facility to be operating by late 2014.
Panhandle 2 is Google's 15th renewable energy investment overall and the company's second in Texas. Google a year ago announced a $200 million investment in another Texas Panhandle wind farm — the Spinning Spur Wind Project in Oldham County, about 35 miles from Amarillo.
The company also said this week that it's buying energy from the Happy Hereford wind farm, also in the Panhandle.
Google has been pouring money into alternative energy since 2010 because it believes the investments will prove profitable as the demand for cleaner sources of power rises amid increasing concerns about the pollution caused by oil and coal.
The company, with headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., is consuming additional power as it builds more data centers to run its Internet search engine and other online services used by more than 1 billion people worldwide.

It is possible that the main title of the report Tuberculosis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Tuberculosis (TB) is an acute or chronic bacterial infection found most commonly in the lungs. The infection is spread like a cold, mainly through airborne droplets breathed into the air by a person infected with TB. The bacteria causes formation of small tissue masses called tubercles. In the lungs these tubercles produce breathing impairment, coughing and release of sputum. TB may recur after long periods of inactivity (latency) if not treated adequately. Many variations of TB exist and are distinguished by the area of the body affected, degree of severity and affected population. This disease today is considered curable and preventable. It is very rare in the United States but is on an upsurge.

Zoey Deutch invited us to get ready with her before her very first MTV Video Music Awards, and we couldn't be more thrilled to tag along with the super gorgeous (and impossibly sweet!) Vampire Academy star for the evening. She enlisted the help of stylist Logan Horne, makeup artist Lisa Aharon, and hair stylist Aviva Perea, and though she was totally jazzed about her gorgeous Jonathan Simkhai dress, she was really looking forward to seeing a certain boy band perform for the first time in years. "I was most excited for the *NSYNC reunion, and to see Lady Gaga open. Both certainly did not disappoint," she said when we caught up with her after the event. "I'm pretty sure I danced harder during the show than I did at my bat mitzvah party, which is saying a lot."
"I worked with stylist Logan Horne, and this seemed the most appropriate for the VMA's, where people are known to be a little less buttoned up."
"I loved my black patent leather Saint Laurent shoes so very much. My feet didn't agree with me by the end of the night, but it was worth the pain."
"I'm a total hip-hop geek. That's my favorite kind of music to listen to while getting ready."
Among the products used, Bioderma Crealine, Welleda, Skin Food, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation, Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage concealer, Laura Mercier matte eye color, and Chanel Volume mascara were favorites.
"I wore a gold smoky eye and loose waves with a braid crown in the middle."
Chanel Rouge Coco in Mystique from the new fall collection, plus a dab of Laura Mercier Bare Beige gloss in the center
"I love Chanel foundation, Mac Studio Fix black mascara, and Burt's Bees honeysuckle-tinted lip balm. For hair, I use Oribe Texturizing Spray."
"I changed into a black leather Maje dress and Gianvito Rossi shoes."

Undergraduate Regulations
Study Group Logs
While Study Group Logs are no longer required to be turned in at the end of each course, it is required and expected that each study group will maintain weekly learning activities that are outlined in each syllabus. These activities are to take place outside of the regular classroom setting. It is the responsibility of EVERY study group to maintain the highest standard in meeting this requirement, and if the facilitator or person within the Graduate College Office feels this is not being maintained, study groups will be asked to provide evidence of group activities.
In addition, if the need arises within a group to 'fire' a non-performing member of the study group, group study logs will be necessary to facilitate this process. Current university policy states that learners may be removed from an accelerated program is their behavior is deemed disruptive to the learning process. Please contact the University (Student Services Coordinator) directly if you require additional information regarding removal of an individual from a study group for non-performance.

While trying to advance its plans to develop permanent housing for Chaldean refugees, the Southfield-based Chaldean Community Foundation is also expanding the supportive services it provides through new community centers.
Last week, it secured the rezoning needed to move forward on construction of a $3 million, 11,500-square-foot community center at 15 Mile and Ryan Road in Sterling Heights to replace its 2,500-square-foot leased location at the same intersection.
The City Council approved a zoning change to shift the two residential properties on 15 Mile just west of Ryan Road to business and professional office zoning. The foundation paid about $200,000 for the lots, which total just under 2 acres.
Martin Manna, president of the foundation and its parent organization, the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce, said the plan is to tear down a home and garage on the properties so it can break ground on the new center by June and complete it by next spring.
Saroki Architecture in Birmingham is serving as project architect. The foundation has yet to name a construction manager.
At the same time, the foundation is on the hunt for an Oakland County building to serve as a third community center after negotiations for a West Bloomfield property fell through. It hopes to identify another Oakland County site within the next two to three months, Manna said.
In March, the foundation launched a $5 million campaign to fund the new centers.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story had the incorrect location of the Chaldean Community Foundation. This version of the story is correct.
