Gladimir Callegaro, second from right, father of fire victim Marina Callegaro and other relatives mourn during her funeral at a cemetery in Santa Maria city, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, Monday, Jan. 28, 2013. A fast-moving fire roared through the crowded, windowless Kiss nightclub in southern Brazil early Sunday, within seconds filling the space with flames and a thick, toxic smoke that killed more than 230 panicked partygoers who gasped for breath and fought in a stampede to escape. An early investigation into the tragedy revealed that security guards briefly prevented partygoers from leaving through the sole exit and the bodies later heaped inside that doorway slowed firefighters trying to get in.(AP Photo/Nabor Goulart)

It's almost here! Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring" finally hits theaters nationwide on Friday, June 21.
We're excited to check out Emma Watson in the film based on the band of rich Hollywood teens that ransacked the homes of celebs like Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, and Audrina Patridge in the mid-2000s.
Celebs aren't always the victims, though. Quite a few of Hollywood's brightest -- and richest -- stars have been caught red-handed with stolen loot.
Winona Ryder
Winona Ryder was at the top of the acting game in December 2001, but that all came crashing down when she was caught stealing an estimated $4,760 worth of stuff from a Beverly Hills Saks Fifth Avenue.
She was ultimately convicted of grand theft and felony vandalism and had to serve three years' probation and 480 hours of community service.
Ryder views the incident as a turning point in her life.
"In a weird way, it was almost like the best thing that could have happened," she told Interview magazine earlier this year, adding that the incident gave her "perspective."
"There was a foundation that I had early on, but I think I lost my footing -- you know, obviously," she told the magazine. "But then I sort of regained it."
Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan was one of The Bling Ring's victims, but apparently losing her own stuff didn't stop her from taking someone else's.
She seemed to be on the up-and-up in 2011, but all of that came crashing down when she was accused of swiping a $2,500 Kamofie necklace from a jewelry store in Venice, Calif. The actress tried to claim it was on loan, but owners denied it -- and promptly filed charges. She later pleaded no contest and was sentenced -- in part -- to 480 hours of community service.
Britney Spears
Britney Spears came down with quite a case of sticky fingers in 2008. First, she reportedly "forgot" to pay for a $200 top at a Los Angeles Fred Segal. Then, she allegedly swiped a wig from an adult store.
Her most inexplicable theft, though, was a lighter from a gas station.
"Yes, Britney stole a blue lighter here last night. The lighter is $1.39. I'm hoping maybe the next time she comes back she will pay for it," the gas station owner said.
We wonder if he's still waiting for that $1.39.
Megan Fox
Megan Fox still has some explaining to do to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The mom of baby Noah was banned from Walmart as a teen for lifting a tube of lip-gloss from the famous twins' cosmetics line.
"They actually took me into the court and I had two choices and I took the second choice, which was wrapping [presents] for Christmas, which was awesome. It wasn't really a punishment," she told The Daily Express in 2008. "The other one was they were gonna make me wear a sign that said I stole from Walmart and stand outside Walmart for three days."
We have to wonder, though: Has she ever told Mary-Kate and Ashley about the incident? That would make for an awkward conversation.

Not regularly. Since they're in school (or in summer, at camps) I feel like they sometimes need downtime and/or alone-time. I will say that a well-timed playdate is very helpful, however, when the school gives a random student-day-off! I can work from home while the kids entertain themselves!

I have been there, too, although I didn't get a year off before sending my kids to daycare. You were lucky! It's so, so hard to adjust to working again. I can also relate to not even liking your job anymore -- I totally felt that way. Because I had found a BETTER job -- being a MOM! rewarding! fulfilling! Not like my desk job which just felt like drudgery. :( Let me tell you, even though the job market is crummy, it might be worth it to change jobs if you can find something you might like better. I was so lucky that an opportunity came to me when my baby was 1 -- the work is more fulfilling and closer to home/daycare. I still feel like it's work, but it's not AS bad. Think about it. I will be praying for you. It's a very hard time and sometimes you'll cry - it's normal - but you will make it through and your baby will be FINE. (hope the cough gets better) ((((hugs))))

Austin >Auto Dealers > Corvette Country
12190 North Mo Pac, Austin, TX | Directions 7875830.412829 -97.709570
Out of Business? – I'm fairly certain this company is OUT OF BUSINESS...if not, they should be. I've left two voice mails at two different numbers and 3 e-mails in 5 days, not one response. If they are in business, STAY AWAY. If this is how they treat a potential client now, imagine if you have a problem and needing service down the road.
Be Careful!!! – Took my 90's Vette in recently for service, paid about $600. Within 4 months, had to have the SAME work done again! Took the car elsewhere and was told that no work may have been done the first time. So what had I paid for? Contacted a consumer help service with my complaint, but Corvette Country claimed they didn't cheat me. They couldn't prove it, and they wouldn't sit down to negotiate, mediate, or arbitrate our disagreement. Bad attitude! I say, WATCH everything they do to your car!
Editorial Review – Garage services all makes bumper-to-bumper, with special expertise in classic and late-model corvettes. BMW and corvette parts for sale.
Fast, Excellent Service – The repair shop at Corvette Country has excellent service, quality repairs, at a very competitive price. They cover all the bases and do so in a very professional manner. I would recommend Corvette Country auto repair services to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, customer oriented car care service provider.
Thanks Again – I just wanted to thank the management and staff of Corvette Country for keeping my cars running great for the past few years. After taking my BMW & SAAB to several foreign auto repair shops and being disappointed with the lack of customer service and the quality of work I received, I took my cars to Corvette Country and have never gone anywhere else since.
Take Your Corvette Here! – The guys at Corvette Country are the only ones I trust "my baby" with. They are professional, honest, and always do a great job. I appreciate the quality of work they do and the consistent service I always receive. Thanks guys!

Publication: The Hill
Author: Doug Chapin
03/17/2011 - As spring break begins across America, many college students are looking forward to an escape from classes. But some state lawmakers across the nation have something else on their minds: how to limit the influence of students by making it harder for them to cast ballots in their campus towns.It's partly a political battle. Students can play a pivotal role in elections, and so where they vote matters. As state legislatures debate voter identification, residency requirements, same-day registration and even voting by mail, students are again a target - especially in light of the fast-approaching 2012 presidential contest.The real focus, however, should be the impact of America's growing population mobility on the nation's election system. The Census Bureau estimates that one in six Americans – including but not limited to students – moves each year. The average American moves eleven times in a lifetime.The current questions about student voting rights echo traditional tensions between longtime community residents and recent arrivals who may not be there for the long haul. The legal issues, at least, are clear: in the 1970s, some courts ruled that communities cannot require new voters to meet long-term residency requirements and that students were eligible to cast ballots in college towns even if it wasn't clear how long they would be living there.This debate is intensifying with the pace of mobility. Population mobility is a considerable stress on our election system, which places a heavy emphasis on residence as a component of eligibility. Any influx of new voters into a community brings with it concerns that they are not eligible in their new homes or that they might still be on the rolls elsewhere.These concerns continue to linger – and regularly erupt into controversy – because our election systems are poorly equipped to deal with mobility at all, let alone in today's numbers. State voter registration systems, in particular, still operate on a voter-driven, paper-based 19th-century model difficult to navigate and maintain.Students are considered a constant challenge to this system because of their large numbers. The solution, then, is not to make rules specifically for them; rather, we must address the shortcomings of a system that creates concern about their eligibility to vote.At the Pew Center on the States, we are working closely with state and local election officials on an upgrade of voter registration systems that will bring 21st-century technology and procedures to the process of maintaining voter rolls. The result will ensure that every eligible voter who wants to register will be on a state voter list – only one, and only once. The goal is to offer the level of accuracy and integrity that election officials, policymakers and voters demand so that energy can be focused on ensuring those on the rolls can actually vote.Controversies about student voting can give states an opportunity to re-engineer and reform our voting system, not just for the benefit of those away at school, but for all Americans.Pew is no longer active in this line of work, but for more information, please visit electionline.org.

Compare Mark 13:24-27; Luke 21:25-28. Immediately ties the tribulation of those days to the unidentified final tribulation, a tribulation that, on our reading, can be clearly identified as the final one only by the fact that the parousia (Jesus' return) concludes it. Like the day of the Lord in the Old Testament (Amos 5:18-20), Jesus' return is not good news for everyone.
The figure of the trumpet is appropriate, and is one feature noted by Matthew but missing in Mark, yet earlier cited also by Paul (1 Thess 4:17). Paul refers to the "last trumpet" at the resurrection of the righteous (1 Cor 15:52), when the final enemy, death, is subdued (1 Cor 15:24-26). Most often trumpets assembled God's people for war or alerted them to an attack (as in Num 10:9; Judg 3:27; Is 18:3; Jer 4:19; Ezek 33:3-6; Joel 2:1; Zeph 1:16); such a trumpet blast often came with a shout (Jos. War 3.265; 1 Thess 4:16) and could symbolize the final battle (compare 1QM 8.9-12).

Hmmm ...you know that when x=1, the value of y=0, also the slope (y') is flat, and the change of slope (y'') is 0.The only value you don't know at x=1 is y''', and that can be solved:3y'''+ 5y''-y' +7y=0 ==> 3y'''+ 0 - 0 + 0=0 ==> y''' must equal 0So, all given values are 0 and all flat at x=1 ...Now what happens as you move away from x=1? If y were to change then the slope (y') will change, and you know that the slope is constrained by the equation 3y'''+ 5y''-y' +7y=0.So let us say that as x increases, y increases. So the slope of y goes from 0 to positive, and so the rate of change in slope (y'') must also increases, and hence y''' also! So they must all increase together. What would that do to: 3y'''+ 5y''-y' +7y=0 ?I suspect (but haven't got as far as proving) that it is not possible to have y increase, because the various rates of change would make 3y'''+ 5y''-y' +7y ≠ 0.Sorry, but that is as far as I have got.
3y'''+ 5y''-y' +7y=0 y(1)=0, y'(1)=0,y''(1)=0ANS: y=0 is the only solution on any interval containing x=1WHY????

XING has introduced new General Terms and Conditions. Today we're sending our members all over the world an e-mail to the notification address they entered on the platform. Members we can't reach via e-mail will receive the same information as a XING message.
Why is XING introducing new General Terms and Conditions at this time?
XING recently celebrated its tenth birthday. A lot of things have changed since our professional business network first went online in 2003. Back then, XING was known as "a private paid communication forum for arranging business contacts" in the previous GTC. Today, XING is much more than that. Long-standing users will in particular remember all the features we've added over the years. Recruiting via XING is an excellent example of just how far we've come as XING members have always shared job vacancies with one another on the platform. The last few years have seen the launch of all kinds of recruiting products for companies ranging from pure job ads to the Employer Branding Profile and on to the XING Talent Manager. And our members can also benefit from an entirely new kind of job ad that immediately shows the employee ratings for that particular company.
A similar scenario also arises with the events portal which, thanks to the XING EVENTS (formerly known as amiando) integration, XING members can use to organise events and manage their online ticketing processes. XING's service portfolio has also grown drastically, and will continue to do so in the future each time we release product innovations. We therefore rewrote our GTC to create the best-possible basis for future developments.
Overview of changes
We'd like to take this opportunity to provide you with an overview of the changes to our GTC. If you have any questions about them at all, please visit the XING Community (German only) where you'll be able to discuss the new GTC with other members and XING employees.
- XING is essentially a social network. On top of that, users have access to other applications such as XING EVENTS or kununu, the largest employer review platform in German-speaking countries. The terms and conditions for the use of these platforms have now been added to our GTC.
- An important aim of the new GTC is the prevention of spam. Our new GTC expressly forbid the use of tools, certain software and scripts that enable XING members to be spammed. Advertising and disseminating such tools is also prohibited.
- The data protection and privacy terms highlight the fact that XING members are at liberty to choose whether or not they want to share their personal details, in whole or in part. Any such settings can also be revoked at any time, meaning that users always remain fully in control over their own data.
- We have also incorporated a number of aspects that are already standard practice. Examples of this include the banning of logos as profile pictures to ensure that people are interacting with one another rather than simply using their profile picture purely for advertising purposes. Our new GTC also further emphasise that profiles may not be used by third parties. They also stipulate that XING does not fundamentally get involved in communication between users. The exception to this rule are groups moderated by XING or XING employees, such as the German-language "XING Community" or the group covering last year's German elections. There may also be projects in the future where XING or XING employees get involved.
As described in the first point, XING provides its users with other applications. A visible profile is not required for every single application, such as with the "Contaxt" app. Here, users can log in with their XING profile, but the service is also available to non-XING members. In such cases, users do not need to have a user profile that's visible within the XING network. This also applies to pure ticket purchases via the events platform and reviews submitted on the employer review platform.
If you'd like to see all of the changes to our GTC, please open this PDF file. We've highlighted the changes to make it easier for you to find them.
We would like to point out one final thing: As always you can object to the new GTC within six weeks of receiving our notification as per clause 12 of the old GTC. If you correctly object in good time, our old GTC continue to apply to you. If we don't hear from you by the end of the objection period, our new GTC will henceforth apply to you.

In isolated cases, XING members have brought to our attention a warning message that appears while logged in to XING. IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW: This warning message is not from XING. This is in actual fact a fraud attempt that, according to our current knowledge, operates from the user's computer which is infected with malware. Please do not follow the steps described in the warning message.
How can I recognize this warning message?
In the warning message the fraudsters ask the user of the infected computer to enter their cell phone number in order to activate their allegedly blocked XING account. The user then receives a text message with a download link. They are then led to believe that following this link will install a piece of security software onto their smartphone, which can then actually infect the smartphone. Fraud attempts like this are, for example, described here: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/08/a-closer-look-perkele-android-malware-kit/.
Who does this affect?
The warning message has currently only appeared on computers that run Windows operating systems. However, it cannot be ruled out that this malware is able to infect computers that run other operating systems.
What should I do when I see this warning message?
With the situation as it is, we presume that the users' computers are already infected with malware when this message appears. Users who are affected should immediately get their computers checked for malware infections. In the meantime, we recommend that users avoid visiting important online services like banking, shopping, etc., until the malware has been completely removed. If you have already downloaded the software onto your smartphone then this device will also have to be checked and cleaned up. We rely on your help in order to find out more and clarify this fraud attempt: Please let our security team know of any abnormalities or peculiarities as quickly as possible (firstname.lastname@example.com).
We would like to thank the two members who promptly informed us of this fraud attempt.

Roughly three months ago, Apple unveiled iOS 7 at the WWDC conference in San Francisco. XING's iOS team was there and, like everyone else, surprised at the depth of changes that went far beyond throwing away skeuomorphic design elements and making everything flat. The design philosophy itself had shifted: In iOS 7, the user interface defers to the content. Subtle but sophisticated animations replace or clarify navigational elements. Typographical details become more important. And those are only the aspects the eye can see: The days following the WWDC keynote, we learned about changes and enhancements pertaining to the functional core of iOS.
Ready for iOS 7 within weeks
Enthused and fired up, we came back to Hamburg – only to realize that our roadmap was already booked solid for the upcoming months. There was little chance to get an iOS 7 version of our app out of the door by the time iOS 7 would be released. We then convinced our team and product manager that it'd be worth to invest a week for iOS 7 related research. We used this week to evaluate new opportunities for our app and to estimate the time and effort needed to implement them. At the end of the week we were convinced that we could get our XING app iOS 7 ready within a few weeks. And with ready we meant not only a visual adaptation but also the support of new features such as downloading new data in the background and dynamic font size changes. (more…)

XING Beta Labs have been in place for almost two years now, and it gives us an opportunity to present our members with various beta features that they can test. That way, anyone looking to put developmental features through their paces can go there, select the feature they want to try, then test-drive it and send us their feedback. XING Beta Labs were the birthplace of various features we currently offer on the platform such as attachments and the conversation view. But sometimes beta features don't work out and they have to be removed to free up resources for other great ideas, which is why we're going to remove XING Topics from the platform.
We'd like to thank all the members who put a lot of time and effort into test-driving XING Topics over the last few months. During that time we've been busy collecting and evaluating your feedback and performed a number of random tests which allowed us to find out what you liked about the Topics section (e.g. being able to add images and rank topics by popularity) and what you weren't too keen on (e.g. layout of the posts). We always take your feedback into account when developing new features and products, and we'll be re-using a number of the XING Topics features you really liked in other parts of the platform – so keep a lookout for them!
XING Topics will be available until 16 September. Until then you can still view your posts in the 'your posts' tab and copy and paste the ones you'd like to keep to a text file. Alternatively you can use the 'copy and paste view' button to copy and paste all of your posts in one go. After that date, all of your posts will be permanently removed, so if you want to keep them, please make sure you save them somewhere else.
As always, we'll carry on working hard to boost your XING experience, so don't forget to visit our blog again soon.
Nils Lauk on 14.03.2013 at 18:17h CET
XING holds regular innovation weeks that give our developers an opportunity to tinker around with things and put their ideas into practice. Some of the results of these projects include things like the RSS import feature allowing you to import blog posts and to share them with your XING network. Now we're happy to present you with another great innovation weeks feature that's available from today. This feature allows you to use XING with keyboard shortcuts as you've most probably come across before in your daily work on the computer. This of course makes it both easier and faster to network on XING.
Here's how it works
Keyboard shortcuts usually involve pressing and holding either the CTRL key if you're a Windows user or CMD if you're on a Mac. We don't want to interfere with your browser's own shortcuts, however, that is why our shortcuts always start by pressing and holding the SHIFT key. (more…)

Imagine you're driving in a city you've never been to before to visit a business partner. You've probably used your address book or smartphone to get the address you're going to and then entered it in your sat nav. But isn't this process a bit over-complicated? Wouldn't it be great if you could call up your XING address book in your sat nav and then simply select it as your destination?
This probably sounds like something from "Back to the future", right? Well, at the moment it is, but it's actually highly realistic from a technical point of view! That's because XING is rolling out its API (Application Programming Interface) for external developers which enables them to build great apps just like the idea I mentioned above. (more…)

Our annual Prototyping Days event gives every employee the opportunity to turn his or her vision of XING into reality. Project teams consisting of people from every corner of the company put aside their usual work and get together for three days to work on projects they came up with. At the end of the events, the entire company gets together with the project teams presenting the results of their work. But coming up with great ideas isn't just fun, it's also a major benefit for the company, too!
The top 8 reasons to work at XING
Our project looked at how we can provide the best-possible networking experience in the future. My seven project teammates and I didn't just want to use the Prototyping Days 2012 event to look into the future, we wanted to focus on what drives XING, i.e. its employees. Our aim was to show why we're so passionate about XING and why we love working here. Our personal contribution as just a few of the 520 employees was a video we made that presents the top 8 reasons to work at XING.
Our team consisted of people from the Technology, Customer Relations and Product teams. The video went through its baptism of fire at the presentation session and passed with flying colors. In fact we won the Best Spirit Award for our efforts. But let's face it – we got our Executive Board to crawl under the table soccer table, so I'm sure we deserved to win )
Want to feel XING's positive vibes for yourself? Just join the team!!
Jens Pape on 16.08.2012 at 17:09h CET
What could the future of online business networking look like? What do we need to do to provide the best-possible networking experience? How would XING need to evolve to achieve that goal? These were just some of the questions the 520 employees at XING tackled during the XING Prototyping Days 2012 event.
As was the case last year, every employee–from the customer support through to marketing and product teams–had three days' time to put aside their usual work and get together with other people to work on developing a specific idea.
Mario Grobholz on 08.08.2012 at 10:36h CET
Editor's note: This is a guest post from secure.me Managing Director Mario Grobholz to mark the launch of our cooperation. We will roll out the corresponding feature this afternoon.
Many business users with a XING profile also have profiles on other social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. More and more personal details such as photos, comments and opinions are being posted online all the time, which is why it's essential to ensure that you retain control over and protect your online image and reputation. We've teamed up with XING to offer its members online privacy and reputation protection both on the XING platform and beyond it as well.
How do XING members use secure.me?
secure.me is integrated into the XING platform, so all you need to do is activate it. To do so, just click on the secure.me button that appears in the top right-hand corner of your profile page. A window will then open asking you to authorize secure.me – and that's it! You're protected by secure.me! (more…)

Marc Haefner, Senior Product Manager
Back in December 2011, XING launched its Beta Labs as a platform for users wanting to try out new XING features early on in their development. This also gave them an opportunity to provide feedback and shape new features to meet their own needs.
Today we launched our conversation view, which started out life as a Beta Labs feature and proved to be an instant hit so we had to make it available to more Beta Labs users than originally planned. We then took all of those users' feedback and added what we could before today's feature launch.
But what is the conversation view? The conversation view summarizes your personal messages so that you can see your entire written correspondence with one or more people on a certain subject. Individual messages are listed below one another in a compact view that just shows the first few lines of each message. To view a certain message in full, all you need to do is click anywhere in the compact message view which will then expand to display the entire message. You may well have come across this before if you have a smartphone or email program that already has this feature which is also great for collaboration processes as everyone involved can follow the discussion.

Two flagship design programs now support Apple's high-resolution displays for Creative Cloud subscribers. Support is coming later for those who paid for traditional software licenses.
While Adobe Illustrator CS4's most compelling new feature--pseudo-multipage support--can be frustrating to use, overall it makes CS4 a worthwhile upgrade for current users.
Though it remains an excellent vector drawing tool, there's not a lot in Adobe Illustrator CS3 to compel CS2 users to upgrade.
The few new features it adds definitely make Illustrator a more powerful drawing tool.
A set of new features restricted to users of the Adobe Creative Cloud has launched.
Vector graphics buffs will find this Illustrator upgrade worthwhile, especially to work with SVG-t art for mobile devices.
Illustrator is a must-have tool for professionals who generate vector graphics for print and the Web. Version 10.0's new symbols support makes it a worthwhile upgrade.
Adobe keeps Illustrator CS the top dog in the field of professional drawing tools.

Greater Oklahoma City is in the geographic center of North America equidistant from the east and west coasts and major trade partners of Canada and Mexico. The ten county region is at the crossroads of the U.S., sitting at the heart of three major national highways on the NAFTA corridor.
There's a reason Greater Oklahoma City is such a great place for business: Location. The ten county region is positioned within a day's drive of the rapidly-growing south-central region (OK, TX, AR, LA) projected to grow more than 44% during the next 25 years.
Explore the counties and cities of Greater Oklahoma City including major employers and higher education. The ten county region boasts an average commute time of 20 minutes and a skilled workforce over half a million strong.

Oklahoma City's 5.9 percent jobless rate for July remains the best in the country from a list of 372 metro areas with a population greater than 1 million, the Labor Department reported Tuesday.
That's recognition the city has earned in four previous months this year, as well as August, September, November and December of last year. The metro area also posted the second-lowest rate once in 2008 and three times this year.
In the latest federal and Oklahoma Employment Security Commission preliminary data released Tuesday, Tulsa's nonseasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 6.8 percent was unchanged from June, while Lawton posted a 5.3 percent rate, down from 5.6 percent the previous month.
Oklahoma's unemployment rate was estimated at 6.4 percent for all civilian workers, including farm and ranch employees, compared with 6.6 percent in June, the Labor Department said.
In the metro area, there were 7,100 total nonfarm job losses for the month, the commission said. There were 6,500 fewer jobs in the service industry, with retail trades and food services each cutting 1,000 positions. The government sector posted a 5,400-job loss.
Nonfarm employment was down by 3,500 jobs over the month in the Tulsa area, with service industries shedding the most positions with 3,200, followed by 2,500 less jobs in government.
Less jobs at the state government level in Oklahoma City and Tulsa is mostly seasonal losses, from school positions lost during summer months, said commission economist Lynn Gray. But fewer jobs in food services and at drinking places in the metro area "is more the economy," he said.
The Lawton area posted 600 lost jobs for the month.
The Labor Department estimated the number of unemployed in Oklahoma fell by 4,000 in July.
"Employment and unemployment rates in the state seem to have stabilized over the last three months, after rates began escalating steadily from around 4 percent before the recession began almost two years ago," Oklahoma Bankers Association economist Keith Hazelton said.
"Rebounding crude oil prices, which have been on a roller coaster for more than a year, may be leading to increasing employment in the state's energy sector, although jobs gained in the oil industry likely are being offset partially by job losses in natural gas as prices briefly reached seven-year lows last month."
Beaver and Grant counties have the lowest unemployment at 4 percent, followed by Harper, Murray, Roger Mills and Texas counties with 4.1 percent.
McCurtain County had the highest at 11.5 percent.

Is the Next Batman Game 'Arkham World?'
The Joker gives us something to ponder.
December 10, 2011
While accepting the award for Best Character at the Spike TV Video Game Awards, the Joker -- from Batman: Arkham City -- was seen holding a script for Batman: Arkham World and made a joke about spoilers. This is far from Rocksteady confirming Batman: Arkham World, so take this with a grain of salt.
Especially if you beat Batman: Arkham City.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPEED: Randal Schiffelbein Jr.
SPOTLIGHT ON SPEED: Randal Schiffelbein Jr.
Before last season's impressive Pure Stock championship run was even complete, Tecumseh's Randal Schiffelbein Jr. had started preparations to take his next step in Heartland Park Topeka's Saturday Showdown dirt track series.
Schiffelbein bought a B Mod and tested it out in competition late last year before moving up to full-time status in the class this season.
"It was just getting seat time (late last season) and getting used to a B Mod,'' Schiffelbein said. "We found out the car wasn't right when we raced it at the end of last year and changed everything and now it's a totally different new car so we're learning all over again.''
Schiffelbein dominated the Pure Stock division most of last season and said that experience helped him get ready for his move up this season.
"Driving-wise they're totally different cars so it didn't really help a whole lot, but getting used to being in a dirt car and learning re-starts, cautions and knowing what to do, it was great for that,'' Schiffelbein said. "And it was great just to get in the seat of something and learn it.''
After his early success in Pure Stock, Schiffelbein moved up his timetable for the move to B Mods.
"The original plan was to run the Pure Stock for two years and then eventually hope to get a B Mod,'' he said. "Well, we went out and won nine times and won a championship so we decided just to move up right then and there.
"There was nothing more that we could gain by going back to the Pure Stock class for another year.''
Schiffelbein is currently seventh in the B Mod standings and said he's enjoying his new class.
"Driving this car is completely different so you've got to learn that but you want a challenge,'' he said.
Week four of the Saturday Showdown Series is on tap Saturday. Gates will open at 5 p.m., with hot laps at 6:15 and racing at 7 o'clock.
Former Seaman athlete Tyler Garst, second to Schiffelbein in the 2012 Pure Stock standings, has won all three Pure Stock features to take a commanding lead in the point standings in that division.
Other points leaders include Jake Richards in B Mod, Terry Schmidt in Factory Stock and Kerry Davis in Modified.

Improving Cultural Diversity
The Office of Diversity and Community Outreach is effectively increasing and maintaining the presence of those underrepresented in medicine within the student body at BCM. Under the leadership of Dr. James L. Phillips, senior associate dean and professor of Pediatrics, more than 900 URM's applied to BCM in 2007; this is more than a three fold increase compared to the 240 URMs who applied in 1993. The goal is to allow increases such as this to continue through such programs as the following:

Wow, are you sure you did it right? That might be terrible if you get through all the payments but can't make the final payment. That would be a bad day.
yeah, I think that I would prefer a fixed rate. After doing an amortized schedule for a variable rate, the balloon payment turned out pretty big. In fact it was bigger than the down payment.
oh yes. I looked up balloon payment and i see it is
I'm glad you learned what you need to know.
Figuring interest for a short period of time is done with intervals.
I am writing a college paper on purchasing property. I have to include an excel spreadsheet on two different options. I understand how to do the fixed rate. It is easy. I am totally lost on the variable rate and I don't know how to begin to explain it. I have the following:

$132 million spent per year in communities along Route 66
A recently completed economic impact study shows that $132 million per year is spent in communities along historic Route 66. This information sheds new light on the importance of heritage tourism and historic preservation along Route 66 as a contributor to local, state, and national economies. Route 66, which runs from Chicago to Santa Monica and is known as the Mother Road, is America's most celebrated automobile highway, and a symbol of twentieth-century American culture and history. The study was directed by professor David Listokin of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and was carried out between 2008 and 2011 in collaboration with the National Park Service Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program and World Monuments Fund, with the support of American Express.
The study demonstrates the tremendous influence tourists have on the economies of towns and cities along the route:
- More than 85% of Route 66 travelers visit historic places and museums, and these tourists spend $38 million dollars a year in these communities.
- Heritage preservation, through Main Street revitalization programs and museums, add another $94 million in annual investments.
- The national impact is an annual gain of 2,400 jobs, $90 million in income, $262 million in overall output, $127 million in gross domestic product and $37 million in tax revenues.
- At the local level, the restored Route 66-themed motel, restaurant, and gift shop anchor the downtown in many small communities and bring new life and revenue to towns once bypassed by the Interstate Highway System.
In other words, preserving Route 66 is a good investment with significant community and economic benefits.
"This study shows that preserving historic places is important to travelers on Route 66, and brings enormous pride as well as social and economic benefits to those living along the route," said National Park Service Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program Manager Kaisa Barthuli. "We will to continue to work with communities and other partners to preserve the special places that tell this vibrant part of American history, which in turn creates valuable economic opportunities."
"The 2008 World Monuments Watch brought attention to the cultural value of America's Mother Road," said World Monuments Fund President Bonnie Burnham. "The Watch was the catalyst for developing this study, which now demonstrates the tremendous economic value tied to those traveling this historic route and argues for investment in preservation."
The study draws on a wide array of empirical information on Route 66 from the national decennial census, a first-ever comprehensive survey of Route 66 travelers, a Route 66 museum survey, Route 66 case studies, and other sources. The result is a better understanding of the mosaic and dynamics of America's Main Street, and the identification of opportunities to improve preservation of this resource and to enhance its already significant heritage tourism and economic contribution. The organizations behind the study are currently working to raise awareness of the significant findings among both the private and public sectors. A follow-up event, including industry, government, and others, is being planned for 2012, with a goal of leveraging the new knowledge provided by the Economic Impact Study toward
improved investment and innovative partnerships in heritage tourism and historic preservation.
A Synthesis of Findings of the Route 66 Economic Impact Study, along with a two-volume Technical Report, are available at:

Bird Cloud
A Memoir
Proulx's first work of nonfiction in more than twenty years, Bird Cloud is the story of designing and constructing that house—with its solar panels, Japanese soak tub, concrete floor and elk horn handles on kitchen cabinets. It is also an enthralling natural history and archaeology of the region—inhabited for millennia by Ute, Arapaho and Shoshone Indians— and a family history, going back to nineteenth-century Mississippi riverboat captains and Canadian settlers.
Proulx, a writer with extraordinary powers of observation and compassion, here turns her lens on herself. We understand how she came to be living in a house surrounded by wilderness, with shelves for thousands of books and long worktables on which to heap manuscripts, research materials and maps, and how she came to be one of the great American writers of her time. Bird Cloud is magnificent.

The Back Road
to Bird Cloud
March 2005
The cow-speckled landscape is an ashy grey color. I am driving through flat pastureland on a rough county road that is mostly dirt, the protective gravel long ago squirted into ditches by speeding ranch trucks. Stiffened tire tracks veer off the road, through mud and into the sagebrush, the marks of someone with back pasture business. It is too early for grass and the ranchers are still putting out hay, the occasional line of tumbled green alfalfa the only color in a drab world. The cows are strung out in a line determined by the rancher's course across the... see more

Leah Russell made her parents' long drive more than worthwhile.
The University of Texas at Brownsville/Texas Southmost College student scored in the final minute of regulation time Monday to give the unranked Scorpions a 2-1 victory over fourth-ranked Oklahoma City University in the second round of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national women's soccer tournament.
Russell's parents, Christina and Craig, were in attendance for the game, having made the 22-hour drive from Oakville to Okahoma City.
UTB/TSC was scheduled to face 11th-ranked Olivet Nazarene University Wednesday in the Elite 8 round of the tournament. The winner of that game would advance to Friday's semifinals. The championship game is slated for Sunday.
Russell, an Iroquois Ridge graduate who is now a senior forward for UTB/TSC, has scored 11 goals and added two assists in 17 games this season. Three years ago as a freshman, she led the team with 15 goals in 16 games.

What a great time we had with teen author Ally Condie! Not only was she our keynote speaker for the 36th annual Mary Calletto Rife Youth Literature Seminar, but Ally also visited with students at Maple Street Magnet School for the Arts, with a young ladies' book group at the Kalamazoo County Juvenile Home, and a large group of Ally fans at Central Library.
THANKS to Ally and the rest of the speakers at the seminar: Michael Cart, Robin Brenner, Lynn Rutan, and Cindy Dobrez.
THANKS to the Kalamazoo Public Schools and Juvenile Home teachers and staff who prepared their students for terrific visits by Ally. The teens were warm and welcoming, had great questions, and really represented Kalamazoo in a very positive way.
THANKS to our sponsors: WMU's English Department, Kalamazoo Valley Community College, and the Jean E. Lowrie Endowment Fund. Bookbug bookstore helped us with book sales and Ally Condie loved the store when we dropped by for some spontaneous shopping.

Sony's Playmemories camera app is flipping useless. I've tried installing the Smart Remote application three times, with no success. The Playmemories app demands that I log into my Sony Entertainment account because I'm a first-time user.
So, I dutifully log in using Sony's horrible keyboard app, burning up valuable time in the process... and the camera just sits there and does nothing. Eventually a 'cannot connect to server, please wait a while and reload' error message comes up because the bloody thing has timed out! I also ask the log in app to remember my sign-in ID details, but it doesn't remember it, of course.
Sony are great (sometimes) when it comes to some of their products. But they seem to quickly forget their customers once they've got their money. Their camera apps seem like a marketing gimmick to get people to buy their cameras. "Oh, you actually expected it to work? <snigger>"

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Thursday raised the threat level for West Nile Virus in Boston to high.
The move comes after a Cambridge man in his 70s was confirmed to have West Nile Virus, according to an announcement from the public health department.
He represents the second confirmed human case of West Nile Virus in the state this year. The first case, confirmed on Aug. 15, was also discovered in a Cambridge resident, according to the announcement.
The most recent West Nile Virus patient is currently hospitalized, the announcement says.
The Department of Public Health has also raised the threat level to high in Cambridge, Arlington, Belmont, Boston, Brookline and Watertown.
A "high" threat level means multiple cases are very likely, according to Boston.com.
"Today's announcement is a compelling indicator that the threat of mosquito-borne illness is widespread, and people should continue taking simple, common-sense steps to protect themselves and their families against mosquito bites," said John Auerbach, commissioner of the Department of Public Health.
Below are guidelines from the Department of Public Health for protecting yourself:
Avoid Mosquito Bites
- Apply Insect Repellent when Outdoors. Use a repellent with DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide), permethrin, picaridin (KBR 3023), oil of lemon eucalyptus [p-methane 3, 8-diol (PMD)] or IR3535 according to the instructions on the product label. DEET products should not be used on infants under two months of age and should be used in concentrations of 30% or less on older children. Oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under three years of age.
- Be Aware of Peak Mosquito Hours. The hours from dusk to dawn are peak biting times for many mosquitoes. Consider rescheduling outdoor activities that occur during evening or early morning.
- Clothing Can Help Reduce Mosquito Bites. Wearing long-sleeves, long pants and socks when outdoors will help keep mosquitoes away from your skin.
Mosquito-Proof Your Home
- Drain Standing Water. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. Limit the number of places around your home for mosquitoes to breed by either draining or discarding items that hold water. Check rain gutters and drains. Empty any unused flowerpots and wading pools, and change water in birdbaths frequently.
- Install or Repair Screens. Keep mosquitoes outside by having tightly-fitting screens on all of your windows and doors.
Protect Your Animals
Animal owners should reduce potential mosquito breeding sites on their property by eliminating standing water from containers such as buckets, tires, and wading pools — especially after heavy rains. Water troughs provide excellent mosquito breeding habitats and should be flushed out at least once a week during the summer months to reduce mosquitoes near paddock areas. Horse owners should keep horses in indoor stalls at night to reduce their risk of exposure to mosquitoes. If an animal is diagnosed with WNV or EEE, owners are required to report to DAR, Division of Animal Health by calling 617-626-1795 and to the Department of Public Health (DPH) by calling 617-983-6800.
More information, including all WNV and EEE positive results from 2012, can be found on the Arbovirus Surveillance Information web page at www.mass.gov/dph/wnv or by calling the DPH Epidemiology Program at 617-983-6800.

SonoSim® takes ultrasound simulation and training to the next level
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SonoSim, Inc., developer of the SonoSim® Ultrasound Training Solution, established a new standard in medical simulation with its unveiling of SonoSim LiveScan™ at the 2014 annual International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) in San Francisco, CA. SonoSim LiveScan™ brought never before seen realism to ultrasound training by instantly transforming live volunteers and mannequins into ultrasound training cases with real pathologic conditions. Serving as the world's leading convention on simulation in healthcare, the IMSH conference connects prominent industry experts, academic institutions and companies with the collective goal of advancing simulation in healthcare.
"The 2014 IMSH conference served as the perfect venue to introduce our highly-anticipated SonoSim LiveScan™, and it truly impressed. Whereas ultrasound simulation has traditionally been reliant upon inanimate mannequins that use computer animation, SonoSim's LiveScan™ was demonstrated on a live female model that showcased pathology derived from real patients," said Dr. Dan Katz, Vice President of SonoSim. "In fact, some conference attendees left convinced that our normal, healthy model truly had a left ventricular thrombus and a twin pregnancy!"
SonoSim LiveScan™ ushers in a new era in ultrasound simulation by enabling users to seamlessly transform live volunteers and training mannequins into a wide range of ultrasound training cases with real pathologic conditions. Combined with the SonoSim® Ultrasound Training Solution, which integrates didactic content and knowledge assessment, SonoSim LiveScan™ provides an unparalleled training experience that makes anytime-anywhere bedside ultrasound simulation possible.
SonoSim develops and markets state-of-the-art ultrasound training for physicians, nurses, students and careproviders of all backgrounds who need to continually expand and improve their ultrasound skills. The company has a foundation of intellectual property that has enabled creation of an easy-to-use, affordable, and portable ultrasound education and training solution. The company's products allow learners to take control of how, when, and where they learn.
