I'm sure people involved with the show have nothing to do with the PR but "one of the most compelling mysteries in human history"? Really? Dial it down, guys.
New thriller "Zero Hour" stars Anthony Edwards ("ER") in his return to series television. Edwards' character, Hank Galliston, has spent his life debunking myths, only to be drawn into one of the most compelling mysteries in human history after his wife's shocking disappearance. "Zero Hour" will premiere on Thursday, February 14 at 8:00 p.m., ET.

I usually roll my eyes whenever a series creator claims to have the whole story planned out but since they are envisioning the show as one the resets every season, I'm optimistic. At worst, it gets canceled and the mystery is resolved whether or not the show is renewed.
"[I thought], What's the coolest MacGuffin you can come up with," he said, explaining to reporters that he started with the last three frames of the season and reverse engineered the story, adding elements like the Nazi story along the way.

I can't believe Jacinda Barrett is 40. That makes me feel really, really old.

Not sure what to make of it, there were some parts that I can see turning into a decent mystery/scifi show but it needs a lot of work.
Since it was just the pilot, I will give it at least 3 more episodes before I decide whether to ditch it or not.

Frankly I don't think I would be watching this live under other circumstances, but now that 30 Rock is over I need something to fill the 8 o'clock hour before Person of Interest starts. This looks like it'll do a decent job, if only because of the cast and the kitsch premise.

Wasn't a huge watcher of ER, so I'm not too famailar with Anthony Edwards. He wasn't bad, but there were times I felt he underplayed things. I don't want him to be over-dramatic, but there were times I felt like instead of his wife being kidnapped, he was acting like his car was towed or he got a speeding ticket. The supporting cast was good. Carmen Ejogo as the FBI agent was probably my favorite. Also cool seeing Addison Timlin again. Haven't seen Jacinda Barrett in a bit; she looks a bit older since the last time I saw her. I remember Michael Nyqvist from the last Mission Impossible film and he was the original Mikael Blomkvist, right?
Bummed that Charles Dutton got dispatched at the half-way point.
I'll probably stick with it, but I'm not optimistic. Frankly, I'm pretty sure it's doomed anyway. It feel like ages since ABC has had a successful show in this time-slot.

I like Anthony Edwards' character and his skepticism. "It's not a treasure map". (Look like one to me too)
What I didn't like was how contrived a lot of it was.
Foremost being:
He married a woman who likes clocks who happened across this particular clock that leads him to his very own doppelganger.
I think there could have been a better way for the clock to find it way to them besides happenstance.
It felt sloppy when it should have been clever - I'll still watch more episodes though.

Thanks for the confirmation that Anthony Edwards stumbled upon frozen Anthony Edwards. He is so common looking I wasn't sure if the frozen guy had his face or was just another man with no unusual facial characteristics. So not only are the writers stealing from the DaVinci Code, they are also recycling the Boys from Brazil?

Makes me feel old too. Aren't they on like Real World 36 or something now? Jacinda was on Real World 4! It still gets called one of the most boring seasons ever because their wasn't much drama. All I remember was that she was a model back then and Neil getting his tongue bit off of course. I hope this show works out for her but it sounds a little too Davinci Code for me to be all that interested in the long run.

Whoever made the decision to dress Anthony Edwards in purple should strongly consider never doing so again.
Those making the decision to actually reveal 2/3 of the mystery within 5 minutes while the story was set in 1938 should talk to the person never dressing AE in purple again about how to move forward from such decisions.
The whole magazine reporter/ intern/ Scooby gang? Double ugh.
Nazi Baby clone/zombie/whatever?- cool
Reveal of Michael Nyqvist as Nazi Baby clone/zombie/whatever? (whether he's the same one or not)- not so cool so damn soon
Why on earth would AE ask eskimo pilot if the man that EP had spoken to about traveling to New Bartholomew was with a woman? Even for the scared husband, the problems with this scenario boggle the mind- didn't AE just get off of the first commercial plane that could get him to the frozen tundra? But MN would have dragged Jacinda/ Laila around so that EP would have actually seen her? What?
Blink and miss Charles Dutton.
Show, good way to ruin what could have been a fun and interesting, though well traveled, concept. And I actually enjoyed/ was entertained by The River.

Was I supposed to realize that our main character was looking at a frozen version of himself? Because I couldn't tell just by looking.

My first impression was, ".hey it's that dude from ER" so that helped me stick with it as well.
I didn't think it was too bad but was disappointed we lost the priest so quickly,
I had no idea Anthony Edwards was looking at a frozen version of himself until I came here and the baby with the creepy eyes really creeped me out because my own 6 month old woke up crying and I was kind of freaked out to go into his room and look into his eyes :)
I'll try it out one more week mostly because other than the Big Bang theory, that's all I've got going for me on Thursday nights.

Nazis are an easy villain, nobody is going to complain about a poor depiction of them. The Nazis were also into all sorts of weird stuff, from scientific experiments to the occult.
Why does every conspiracy theory drama have to use Nazis every damn time?!

Credit the player agent for putting the undeserving, overrated Stoudemire on the list.
Forbes lists the NBA's top earners, starting with Kobe Bryant
By Rob Mahoney
Life as an elite professional athlete in a major sport creates an ungodly earning potential that only begins with salary itself. From there, those with the glitziest games and most intriguing personalities can leverage their basketball-induced stardom into a more general celebrity, all of which serves to pile up income from endorsements and appearances. Although a select few are lucky enough to still grab endorsement deals once their playing days are over, for the most part NBA players (and pro athletes in general) land much of their fortunes during this very specific period of heightened abilities and peak public relevance.
Today's athletes are more aware of that fact than ever, and even in a league that has pared down player contracts through collective bargaining, most stars understand how to maximize their income and play the endorsement market to great effect. To put that in the proper context, Forbes tabulated the 10 highest-paid NBA players as measured by total on- and off-court earnings. The ranking is as follows:
1. Kobe Bryant
2. LeBron James
3. Derrick Rose
4. Dwyane Wade
5. Kevin Durant
6. Carmelo Anthony
7. Amar'e Stoudemire
8. Dwight Howard
9. Chris Paul
10. Pau Gasol
Head on over to Forbes for specific figures on each player, in addition to some background on their earnings in general. There are no big surprises, but a few select cases stand apart:
• There will undoubtedly be a tendency to point out the cluster of big-market glamour teams represented on this list, but each of those listed above is an elite player or a former superstar who scored a massive (and slightly inflated) contract. It's a happy coincidence that Los Angeles, New York and Chicago are represented, but not all that relevant.
• Gasol earns just $2.5 million in off-court income, but his place on this list is secure by way of a top-10 NBA salary ($19 million).
• There's a clear divide between Bryant ($59.8 million total) and James ($57.6 million total) and the rest of the pack (Rose, in third, comes in at just $32.4 million total). If that surprises you at all, you likely haven't been plugged in to NBA coverage over the last decade.
• Proportionally speaking, none of these earners top Derrick Rose, who essentially doubles his $16.4 million salary with $16 million in off-court earnings. The whale of those endorsements: Rose's 13-year, $185 million contract with Adidas.
• Timing means everything. If a player's endorsements could be restructured to reflect their current value, Stoudemire ($8 million in off-court earnings) would undoubtedly drop a bit and Durant ($13 million off the court) would likely earn a bit more. But once contracts are signed, that's really that — and sponsors are left to pay out lesser players while some stars earn a bit less than they might command on an open endorsement market.
and theyll all be broke in 15 years..

Honeywell HEPA Replacement Filter Product Reviews
Model Number: 16216
Category: Air Purifiers
Color: White
Price: $14.99
Hepa Filter
Great product and was nice to order on the Internet.
This product works as it should. I received two in the box as described and within a reasonable timeframe. I have had no problems during usage and I plan to order again from the company everytime my I need replacements. Sometimes the replacements I order from other companies end up being some off-brand; however, with these folks I received the name brand I was looking for.
Received Wrong Filter
Filter received, but not the one to fit our air purifier. I called and talked to a man who told me they don't carry one to fit our unit.
He told me to send it back for a full refund.

Working just the way it should. Thank you.

I got the Vicks Hepa Filter for a baby shower gift in 2010. Since that time I was able to get a replacement filter on Amazon.com... I read reviews and heard the one I was getting was a generic, so they advied I come here to Kaz.com. I was completely satisified with the switch! I got a brand name replacement with prompt delivery. I will certainly keep coming back!

hepa filter
very nice
I have been using this type of filter for a few years. It's nice. I just wish it was a bit cheaper price.
great price for product
Had trouble finding product at local stores, was glad to find it here for less than the owners manual stated as well as glad to be able to get free shipping. Got product quickly. Will order all refills through kaz.com in the future.
great service
I had to deal with CS over the phone and they were great.
Honeywell HEPA Filter
We love this product! We have been using the Honeywell HEPA filter in our boys' bedroom since they were born in 2007. The filter is always running and we replace the filters pretty regularly (about every 2 months). We feel that these filters are an inexpensive way to filter and improve the air quality in our home. Our family would definitely consider purchasing another one of these filters as a replacement. Ordering replacement cartridges is simple through the kaz.com website. We would definitely recommend this product to a friend.
Overall review
Even with this brand-new filter, the unit for which it is designed, Honeywell 16200 Desktop Air filter, is useless! I regret wasting my money for a new filter.
On the other hand, I give Kaz, Inc. a good rating for prompt shipping and will not hesitate to order again should the need arise.
Not hepa
Hardly hepa - broken beads galore.
The replacement Hepa filter works great! My daughter is visiting for the holidays and is allergic to our dog and cat. So far she has had no problems with her allergies because we have the air purifier running in the room she sleeps in.
Very easy to replace.
Thanks for making such a great product, my grandson filter was really bad and we didnt think it would make a difference with the hepa filter we bought but it does. I will be order another one in 6 months.
Honeywell Air Purifier Filter
The filter was sent out very quickly and the expense was very similiar to a store purchase. I liked the ability to find the product at your site rather than going store to store to find who still carried the filter.
Honeywell Hepa Filter
We love the subject and don't know how we got along without it before.
super service
Well, it is just a replacement filter, and it is working fine. But I have to say that I am very pleased with the ease of finding the one I needed, clear ordering instructions, and the very quick shipment of the filter. I will definitely get my future replacement parts on this site! Thanks so much.
Filter Fine
We've gotten this filter replacement several times. It works great. And is always reliable.
Filter Fine
We've ordered this replacement filter several times and have always been pleased with it.
Quick delivery, easy to install. I will purchse fro Kaz again.
This is the correct filter for my unit. Thank you!

With a good-but-not-great earnings season mostly in the books for the biggest U.S. banks, the financial sector's run as market leadership may be approaching its end.
Outside of Citigroup, most of the big financial institutions were able to beat modest profit expectations, and their shares have benefited.
But a consensus is growing that with regulatory pressures coming to bear and earnings outlooks dimming, a sector rotation may be under way, sending financials to back in the pack.
Analysts have been pulling back their estimates for financials for the fourth-quarter earnings season, with expectation that other cyclical stocks, such as industrials, could be the new leadership on the Standard & Poor's 500. (Read More: Where Is Top-Line Growth for 2013?)
"The driver for financials is simply the sluggish trading environment and thus does not point to macro weakness nor a deceleration in the economy," Thomas J. Lee, chief equity strategist at JPMorgan, said in his weekly market analysis.
Improvements in global purchase manger's index readings signal to Lee that industrials and technology stocks could be ready for a breakout.
"As global PMIs move upwards, cyclical equity performance has generally followed," he said.
To be sure, financial stocks have performed well so far in the young 2013 stock market after roaring 28 percent higher and leading a 13 percent market gain. They've returned 4.4 percent and are the fourth best of the 10 S&P 500 sectors.
Bank stocks more broadly have been less impressive.
The KBW Bank Index has been mostly flat since the banks began reporting, with concerns mounting that companies will have to get more innovative to drive market performance.
KBW analyst Fred Cannon pointed out that decreasing the amount of shares available on the market will be critical to bank stock performance. (Read More: Street Stumbles in Stocks, Backs Away From Bonds)
"Share repurchases are a critical feature of capital management for most of these large institutions as their capital levels are strong and asset growth is weak," Cannon said in a note. "However, achieving net share reduction is difficult for many because of Fed restriction and because they are issuing significant numbers of shares as part of compensation."
Float, as it is called, indicates the numbers of shares available. A decrease in float is considered a positive sign for a stock based on supply-demand rules.
Of those banks under Federal Reserve stress test jurisdiction, just five have decreased their shares available. Those banks include Goldman Sachs and Bank of New York Mellon.
Four institutions, including Bank of America and Morgan Stanley, have had the amount of shares surpass growth in assets. (Read More: Stock Rally Still Has Legs: Morgan Stanley CEO)
"Looking forward, capital management will be critical in a slow-growth, highly regulated, banking world, in our view, and the most successful banks will need to be reducing shares outstanding to achieve strong EPS growth," Cannon said.
The earnings outlook overall remains muted, with analysts continuing to issue negative revisions. Outlook changes for financials have been trending negative, led by banks and insurers, while the picture has been improving for industrials.
Another metric analysts sometimes examine for direction in banking stocks is risk of default.
Spreads in credit default swaps - essentially insurance policies against default - have been approaching lows not seen during the stock market's bull run higher. As a contrarian indicator, that could be setting up as a headwind for financials.
"If default risk begins to creep up again, a big double top could be in store for financial stocks, which would be a negative technical formation," said Paul Hickey at Bespoke Investment Group. "Either way, the next couple of days/weeks will be key for the direction of financial stocks over the next few months."

James Madison baseball will be back in action for the first time since April 28 when the Dukes visit Chapel Hill for a pair of midweek games against top-ranked North Carolina on Tuesday and Wednesday, both at 6 p.m. at 4,100-seat Boshamer Stadium.
Madison last competed April 27-28 with a three-game set against George Washington with the Dukes claiming two out of three. JMU rallied with three runs in the seventh inning of a seven-inning game and earned a 5-3 victory in 12 innings in the first game of a doubleheader in Arlington. The Colonials won the second game 5-2 in seven innings. JMU then emerged as 14-5 victors in the Sunday finale in Harrisonburg.
Since that time, JMU entered its break for semester exams and commencement exercises for an eight-day layoff between games.
The Dukes will stack up their high-scoring offense against perhaps the nation's most balanced team. JMU enters the set ranked top 10 in the country in average (.318), runs (7.7/game), doubles per game (2.28), triples per game (0.53) and on-base percentage (.413).
Scouting UNC
The Tar Heels boast an equally potent offense, also ranking top 10 in average (.318), runs (8.8/game), slugging percentage (.476) and on-base percentage (.424) while also supporting that offense with the nation's third-ranked team ERA (2.28) and seventh-ranked WHIP (1.10).
North Carolina enters the weekend with the nation's top winning percentage with a 42-4 record. The Tar Heels sit No. 1 in three of the five major national polls (Baseball America, Perfect Game, USA Today Coaches) in a tight battle for the top spot with Vanderbilt. UNC is also the nation's No. 1 team in the official NCAA RPI released Tuesday.
Carolina is 30-3 at home this season and 23-1 in non-conference games, with the only loss coming two weeks ago at home against fellow Colonial Athletic Association member UNCW.
To date, infielder Colin Moran leads the nation with both 61 runs scored and 74 runs batted in while batting .389 with 12 home runs. Skye Bolt boasts the team's top average at .392 with 10 doubles and six home runs. Cody Stubbs completes a potent trio with a .378 average, 19 doubles and 61 RBIs.
Series History
North Carolina leads the all-time series 9-2. The teams most recently met twice in the 2011 NCAA Chapel Hill Regional at Boshamer Stadium with the Tar Heels claiming a 14-0 victory in the winners' game on day two and then winning the regional and ending Madison's season with a 9-3 win. UNC has won eight straight in the series dating back to 2001. JMU's two wins came in 1977 and 1991.
The Dukes last played the nation's No. 1 team with a 6-3 home loss against Virginia on March 17, 2010. That was the first home night game in program history and was played in front of a program-record crowd of 1,815. JMU has never defeated the nation's top-ranked team.
Starting Pitchers
Tuesday, May 7, 6 p.m.
JMU - Patrick Toohers, So., RHP (2-7, 8.61 ERA)
UNC - Hobbs Johnson, Jr., LHP (3-0, 2.20 ERA)
Wednesday, May 8, 6 p.m.
JMU - Michael Church,Fr., RHP (4-1, 6.19 ERA)
UNC - Chris Munnelly, Sr., RHP (4-0, 2.37 ERA) or Reilly Hovis, Fr., RHP (1-0, 2.84 ERA)

Old School Charm – Celebrating our anniversary in Vegas we decided to check out the restaurant that locals insist is a one of the best. The place was jamming on a Saturday night but we were seated promplty and given a great table when we said it was our anniversary. And yes, I'm old school and believe in tipping everyone including the door and the busboy.
. There is apparently enough people around (including visitors and tourists) that this restaurant is doing quite well despite the recession. There isn't a celebrity chef here just great food and a very capable staff. If you want a breath of fresh air without all the pretensions of the strip this is definetly a place to check out!
We had the features steak and lobster tail combo, along with a bottle of California Cab and sparkling water. Thank god someone in the kitchen knows how to cook a MR steak and how to cook a lobster tail so that its not overdone.
This is a grand restaurant, run by and restaurant pro named Jim who greeted us and then remembered to wish us a happy anniversary on the way out. We have returned to this place during the week and sampled some other items on the menu. if you like to find a great, unpretentous restaurtant this place is for you!!!
Thanks – This has definitely been the best Steak in Las Vegas that I have had yet.
Not only were my date and I able to get a table last minute w/o a reservation - but our wait staff was very knowledgeable and friendly.
We were given no attitude when we told the server that we wanted to share the bone in ribeye which was fab given our desire to try other menu items w/o emptying our pockets completely.
Started off with the Blue Cheese Apple Salad which had these grapes (that I originally thought were olives until I bit into them) I can only describe as being totally delicious.
Thank you!
Worst experience ever – Wednesday, August 6, 2008. Birthday Celebration Dinner. Reservation was for 5:45 pm and we were seated at 5:45 pm. Drink order was taken promptly, and many waiters were in attendance at our table, so much so, that we didn't always receive what was ordered. Once the order was taken, 45 minutes into the wait, we had to beg for the children's fries and our appetizer to be delivered to the table. They arrived at the hour mark. At the hour and a half mark, the Birthday Person got up and went to find the manager. We were in a room with ten other tables of patrons. All the other tables had ordered, eaten and left before we received our entree. Between us yelling at the manager, the manager (who was in tears, while yelling at us) and the waiter yelling at us, the food delivered cold and/or overcooked, we being overbilled with no compensation - it all came to a head - the manager tore up the bill. My dad attempted to pay something - but by then, the manager wouldn't accept any monies from us and everyone left upset - with leftovers.
We guarantee we will never eat there again and we will tell all of our friends of the experience!
Best Restaurant in Vegas – I had my wedding reception at the Tillerman, in the Fireside Room. A private dining experience that seated my whole party of 18 people. The atmosphere was romatic, with low lighting and candlelight. We started the meal out with a wonderful salad that you actually assembled yourself. This salad was very fresh, cold and crisp. The dinner was outstanding. We had our choice between filet mignon, salmon and chicken. The majority of the party chose the filet, it was out of this world. Our waiter assistant, Oscar, did a fabulous job making sure everyones' needs were met. All the staff were friendly and accomodating. I would definately recommend The Tillerman restaurant for anyone looking for a special place to celebrate their special evening.
A Gem – The Tillerman has been around for a LONG time. It is a great restuarant to go to for fresh seafood and steak. We recently visited the Tillerman for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Everyone at our table were all pleased with their entrees. We had several bottles of great wine that complemented our meals wonderfully. The quality and service were excellent!
This classic Vegas standby gives celebrity chefs on the Strip a run for their money. – In Short
In a city that transforms itself at least once a decade, this restaurant has managed to charm patrons for more than 20 years. With dark wood paneling, palms and a retractable sunroof for star-lit dining, the Tillerman creates a sophisticated, yet cozy, atmosphere. The seafood offerings compete with the best in town. Puck, Lagasse and the hordes of celebrity chefs have nothing on the Tillerman's planked salmon, roasted halibut or Dungeness crabcakes.
The Nuts – I have visited The Tillerman on no less than 10 occasions; it has become one of my favorites anywhere. I have always been treated to excellent service, and the food was superior in all regards. My current favorite is the double-cut pork chop, but I have thoroughly enjoyed sea bass, stuffed shrimp, steaks, crab cakes and many different appetizers, soups and sides. When in Las Vegas, there is nowhere else I would rather dine. For you Texas Hold 'Em players, The Tillerman is "the nuts".
$$ deceiving – This place is definitely not for the young and rowdy who are celebrating a 30th birthday party and planning to drink. They were nice enough to accommodate us in the private room but we definitely created enough noise to bother the other patrons. We went with the intension of spending $21-$30 a person. That was for the CHEAPEST DISH (without desert or appetizer)!!!! I would recommend it for couples who would like a romantic dinner and plan on spending an average of $100 for a three course meal without drinks. The food was EXCELLENT and the waiters were entertaining.

Ayurvedic Cure for Thyroid Disease
Ayurveda is based on the doctrine that certain substances of vegetable, animal and mineral origin have curative values. These medicinal values have been well documented by various writers and compilers of Ayurvedic literature who observed and experimented with herbs, minerals, metals, animal parts, cooked food articles, natural foods and fruits. The details of these substances are given according to their nature, effects, and curative properties.
Thyroid disease is mentioned in detail by Charaka, one of the writers of the Ayurvedic materia medica. There is a mention that milk, barley, green grams, Bengal grams, sugarcane juice, cucumber and milk products are good for thyroid health. Sour products, on the other hand, aggravate thyroid conditions like hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce the level of hormones that are required for the proper functioning of bodily organs. In other thyroid conditions, the gland may produce more hormones or may be inflamed or enlarged. Each of these conditions manifests in a wide variety of symptoms. The thyroid hormones are essential for metabolism, and like all other hormones, thyroid hormones must also be produced and released in definite quantities. Their excess or deficiency has a detrimental affect on various organs and their functioning.
The Ayurvedic cure for specific thyroid problems involves the use of a potent herb, Kaanchanara ( Bauhinia veriegata ). Another herb of the genus of East Indian and African trees that yields balsamic products known as Guggulu ( Commiphora mukul ) is widely used for addressing symptoms of thyroid problems like weight gain. Among other herbs, jatamansi, shilajita ( purified asphaltum ), gokshura and punarnava are also used for their curative properties and the management of symptoms associated with thyroid malfunctioning.
Yoga and Ayurveda are complementary to each other. Yoga relies on dietary advice contained in Ayurvedic literature. Similarly, the yogic postures that aid in restoring thyroid function form an integral part of Ayurvedic treatment for thyroid disease.
Herbal and dietary advice and massage therapy based on Ayurvedic principles are fast becoming popular in America and Europe. In reality, this ancient Indian therapy can only make a back door entry into this part of the world, as medical practices in America and Europe are governed by strict regulations that are difficult to meet. Alternative medicine like Ayurveda lags behind due to lack of adequate research and an absence of institutional support. However, Ayurvedic medicine has a strong historical background of effective treatment of various diseases, including thyroid disease.

Summary of A Book of Angels Summary of A Book of Angels Reviews for A Book of Angels An Excerpt from A Book of Angels
A gorgeous new edition of the New York Times bestseller that has sold more than a million copies.
"A golden conjunction of heaven and earth...reminding us that there are angels in every religion." -The Washington Post
"As far as angels are concerned, now you see them, now you don't. A Book of Angels gives us a lovely, sustained glimpse." -Chicago Tribune
When Sophy Burnham wrote A Book of Angels, she inspired a phenomenon. An instant bestseller when it was originally published in 1990, this beautiful book not only tells the extraordinary true stories of present-day encounters with angels, but also traces the study of angels throughout history and in different cultures. Burnham writes about the powerful male angels, Buddhist bodhisattvas, Islamic angels, Hindu Apsaras, the mysterious angels of the Jewish Kabbalah, cherubim, seraphim, guardian angels, the angel of death, and others.
What are angels? What do they look like? Whom do they choose to visit? Why do they appear sometimes and not others, and would you recognize one if it appeared before you? With great feeling, Burnham offers an eloquent report from the place where earth and heaven meet. A wondrous journey into the world of angels, this book is a song of praise to life.

Join your fellow classmates in honoring your MBA class reunion!
Make a Gift Today! Be a part of your Reunion Legacy.
The MBA class of 1996 started the Leave a Legacy campaign as a way of giving back to future classes. Since then, this tradition has raised more than $2 million for excellence at the McCombs School, including the construction of group meeting rooms (MBA class of 1998), the "Close the Gap" Case Competition Fund (MBA class of 2011), the Legacy Events Room (MBA class of 2004), and the McCombs Social Enterprise Fund (MBA class of 2010). The MBA classes of 2012 and 2013 have focused their campaigns on raising funds for Robert B. Rowling Hall, the new graduate business building.
The MBA Legacy program expanded in 2006 to include Reunion Legacy, a giving campaign for classes celebrating their reunion year. Alumni are important to the success of the current students at McCombs and a great reminder of the results of hard work. By making a Reunion Legacy gift, we continue a proud tradition of Texas-sized generosity to the MBA program that helped lay the foundation for our own success.
Our peer schools raise millions each year through their reunion class giving programs. Our goal is to raise money for the MBA Alumni Endowed Excellence Fund.
The MBA Alumni Endowed Excellence Fund (MAEEF) was established by the McCombs MBA Alumni Network in August 2005. This innovative excellence fund – created by MBA's for MBA's – provides flexible funding resources to strengthen existing Texas MBA programs and launch initiatives that enhance the educational experience of Texas MBA students.
This fund is unique in that a committee of two MBA alumni, two current students, and two school representatives annually determine how the awards are allocated and is the only award with direct alumni input. This exceptional committee-based process promotes significant involvement and collaboration between two of the school's most valuable assets: MBA students and MBA alumni.
Past MAEEF funds were awarded to:
The MAEEF is off to a great start! The ultimate goal is to grow the MBA Alumni Endowed Excellence Fund to $1 million to ensure ongoing support for MBA student initiatives and to foster the legacy of the Texas MBA degree.
More than 1,000 companies will match the charitable contributions of their employees dollar-for-dollar. This is an easy way to double or even triple your donation. For your efforts, you will be recognized for the full amount of your own gift plus that of your employer. Learn about matching gifts to see if your company participates and ask your human resources representative for the appropriate form.
We are looking for photographs--new and old, and we welcome scanning of the oldies but goodies! Even if you can't make it to the reunion, please share your pictures. Pictures submitted will be a part of a slideshow during reunion weekend.

Magic Formula Stocks
by John Bajkowski
Successful investment approaches can be simple or complex. In "The Little Book That Beats the Market" (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2006, www.magicformula
investing.com), Joel Greenblatt presents the "Magic Formula" investment approach that relies on two simple rules: seek out good companies with a high return on invested capital that can be purchased at a low price that provides a high pretax earnings yield.
Greenblatt measures the strength of a business by examining its return on capital, which he defines as operating profit (EBIT, earnings before interest and taxes) divided by tangible investment capital (net working capital plus net fixed assets). Stocks passing the First Cut have a return on invested capital of 25% or higher. If you do not have access to this variable, Greenblatt suggests that investors use return on assets (net income divided by assets).
To help value a business, Greenblatt takes the price-earnings ratio, inverts it and tweaks the variables slightly. Greenblatt calculates earnings yield by dividing operating earnings EBIT by the enterprise value. The enterprise value tries to reflect the minimum value to purchase a company outright. It is calculated by adding market capitalization, preferred stock, and total debt and subtracting excess cash. Stocks passing the First Cut have a minimum EBIT to enterprise value earnings yield of 25%. As a substitute, Greenblatt notes that you can look for low price-earnings ratios, but warns of avoiding firms with extremely low ratios because earnings may be unusual in some way.

Hajjah wanna-be
Nov 14, 2008 05:07 PM »
InshaAllah, it'll be 10 more days till my plane is scheduled to land in Jeddah.
First and foremost, I'd like to seek forgiveness should there be anything that I've said or done, that may have hurt or offended you. Please accept it and may ALlah compensate you with something better. Or if I owe you anything, please IM me.
Secondly, it would be my first hajj, and I'd like to gather as many good tips and nasihah, inshaAllah.
We would be leaving our daughter with my in-laws and I pray and hope that Allah would be her companion and make easy for her when we are gone. Please make du'a for her too.
I have some questions regarding my departure and stay.
1) I was advised that its better not to call my daughter (3 years old) as she does not know the concept of time and might get more upset. What do you think?
2) There's a schedule that someone suggested which interests me. Basically its to keep up with my North American time, so that I'd spend maghrib till fajr at the haram, go back to teh hotel for b/f and sleep and go for dhuhr and asr @ haram, come back for rest and dinner then, start back the cycle. What was your schedule like when you were at the Haram? Any tips?
3) There was a suggestion that me and my husband do our ibadah seperately (eg. tawaf, i'tikaf etc) so that both of us can have more focus. I'm inclined to do that except how safe is it for me to do tawaf alone? I've heard of pushing and shoving, and inshaALlah, I think I'm mentally prepared for that. But what about "rude touches"?
Is it common? Any precautions?
4) Especially for sisters, which area is the best area for you to do tawaf and i'tikaf? How long did it take you to do tawaf at the top floor? And can you still see the kaabah from that far as well as knowing where the hajaral aswad and rukn yamani would be?
5) Any other tips?
Jazakumullahu khairan
Oh yes, Please make du'a for a hajj mabrur for me and husband

as salaamu alaykum,
Masha'Allah, May Allah bless you and your husband with a hajj mabroor! What awesome news. I haven't been for hajj so I can't give you much advice, but from my experience in umrah it was nice to have my husband in front of me during tawaf, otherwise you feel like you are being pushed around from every direction. This way, he was the one kind of make his way through the crowd (which takes some effort), while I was getting the pushes from behind so it lessened things for both of us, and sometimes we switched. I'm not sure though how feasible it is to stay together during hajj.
Hope others share some useful tips and advice

As-salaamu alaykum, Sr. Barr!
May Allah make it easy for you and your family and accept your Hajj. Mabrook!
I went before marriage (and seriously feel it needs to made up with another Hajj post-marriage...).
Having a husband would've helped, but doing without was fine, alhamdulillah (my father stayed on the lower level somehow). My mother and I made tawaaf on the top level and looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooved it. I can't recommend it enough. The Yemeni corner and everything is clearly demarcated on every level. You'll be surprised at how easy some things have become, and how much you'll "feel" Hajj as soon as you lay your eyes on the Haram, no matter what level. Insha'Allah.
Which brings me to my all time favorite tips given to me (all of which I regret not following):
-Don't stare at too many pics of the Haram and/or Ka'abah. It takes away from seeing the real thing.
-Go to Makkah before Hajj to have plenty of time for Umrah, and have more of the Haram to yourself. We went to Medinah after Hajj. Yes, it'll still be crowded, but not as crowded as it will be at peak time.
-Wear slip-free socks if you can (so you don't slip on the extra slippery marble floors)
-Keep a backpack for your shoes with you (as well as a water bottle for Zam Zam and some power bars). Can also be used as a shield.
-Stay at the Haram for as long as you can. I remember wishing I was there more. We were spoiled with a very close by hotel (not 4-star at all, trust me, but alhamdulillah). We usually slept a few hours after Fajr, a few hours after Dhuhr(actually my father kept this schedule everday, but my mother and I prayed Dhuhr at the hotel more often than not), and then back to stay at the Haram from Asr-'Ishaa. Usually, we stayed at the Haram until Fajr, sometimes slept in the hotel, and then back for Tahajjud.
-Call your family back home often. We got so enthralled that we waited few days to call home, and my siblings literally thought we were dead. They were um...planning our funeral or something if I recall correctly.
Don't do that to your family.
-Don't worry about food too much. If you eat the wrong thing (like wet, soupy things), you may end up with problems you don't need.
We were good with fruit, power-bars, dates and Zam Zam. I was surprised at how little we were hungry, but occasionally, we did have a roasted chicken. I wish I was still eating that many fruits!
Hajj Mabroor, insha'Allah,
"My Lord! Increase me in knowledge." (Qur'aan 20.114)
"Our Lord! We believe, so forgive us, and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of all who show mercy!" (23:109)
"And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves..."(3:10)

how exciting ma'shallah!!
about your daughter... i don't know i think it'd be worse not to tell her anything and then just leave her so long somewhere without being in contact. at first she might cry and be upset especially when you leave or hang up but she would feel the reassurance of your voice every so often and to know that it was only a few days until you come back. they might not have an exact sense of days/hours but they usually know what's going on. even my little niece who was 1 would understand when it was the day of jumah and about how it would be coming up soon. maybe some parents could throw in their experiences.
that schedule is really good, but somehow in reality it's just so crazy there. there's all kinds of things going on and especially in hajj you're always on the move. so just try your best inshaAllah to spend as much time as you can at the haram.
i would recommend not doing stuff without your husband. i was with my dad or an auntie for almost every tawaf or sai'y and that i was thankful of because people will not trample all over you and you can work as a team. even though you're with them or with some millions of people believe me you just forget about everything else. you can arrange some time alone like for ibadah if you say 'im going to go to the sisters section and i'll meet you back in an hour' or something like that.
i'tikaf try ur best to squeeze in the front sections of the women which are on the first floor. it's a shaded area and also has a view of the kabah. tawaf i'd recommend kaba floor. second floor is just soooooooo long. sai'y definitely try second or third floors. i think there might be more now? top most floor is soo extremely hot in the day but amazingly magical at night.
agree with sophia on keeping the eating down. if you're extremely careful about what you eat you can minimize sickness inshaAllah.
ahhh there's so much more to say...but every year is different and everyone's experience is different. we pray the best for you and ask for your duas. Hajj Mabroor

Asalaamu Alaikum
MashaAllah it's always wonderful finding out someone's going to Hajj, even more so when its someone from the Board as well.
Okay my first suggestion would be try and talk to someone who went last year since, whether we like it or not, the holy places are changing rapidly so one suggestion this year may not be the greatest the next.
That being said, here are a few suggestions:
1. Best time to do Tawaf in my opinion during Hajj season is around 2am and about 3 hours before Fajr. It also gives you time to rest a little before doing Tahajjud and, of course, the crowds are a bit less.
Given the above, rest is probably best after Fajr, Zuhr and maybe Asr depending on circumstances. A lot of how long you can stay in the Masjid (and maintain a reasonable level of concentration) depends on how far your hotel is. If it's far, you may find yourself staying all day since it takes too much time to go back and forth, whist if it's nearer you may be able to squeeze in some breaks for rest.
Do what works for you!!
2. Would recommend Tawaf with your husband and doing it on the ground floor. It may look intimidating at first but once you get in with the crowd having your husband there with you will be a big help. As with all rites associated with Hajj, make dua for Allah to make things easy for you.
Obviously if you do separate in the Masjid make sure you both know where to meet up after.
3. Pack a nice little Qur'an which you can read whenever, wherever
4. Keep a book for all the du'aa you want to make at Arafat and to make a note of all the people who've asked you to make du'a for them
5. Have patience, have more patience and then have even more patience.
I can't help but think the following ayah is so applicable to Hajj:
"O ye who believe! Persevere in patience and constancy; vie in such perseverance; strengthen each other; and fear God; that ye may prosper. [3:200]
InshaAllah, I hope the above is some help and inshaAllah you'll be back in a few weeks time telling us how you turned from a Hajj wanna-be to a Hajjiah been-there-and-done-that.
May Allah accept both you intentions and actions and grant you both a Hajj Mabrur and please make du'a for all of us.
Say: "O ye my servants who believe! Fear your Lord, good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world. Spacious is God's earth! those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!" [39:10]

MashaAllah, is it that time already? Am happy for you sis Barr. May Allah make it easy for you guys and accept it from you, ameen.
I always tried to do tawaaf on the ground, but with the Hajj crowd increasing, I decided on the first floor, and though it looks longer (and is, mathematically speaking), the fact that the crowd is less, makes it easier to do the tawaaf and concentrate. Having your husband will most definitely help, do as much as you can as a pair inshaAllah. I was with my mom or my sister most of the time, and it helps having someone to steady you and help you along. (I remember once after Sa'ee, I had holes as big as houses in my socks! People had trampled my feet, and I probably would have fallen had I not had someone to hold onto). oh, definitely try the upper levels for Saee, it is so much better.
You probably wont be staying in Makkah, right? So work out your schedule so you get to spend as much time in the Haram as possible. And remember that the toilet/wudhu facilities still leave much to be desired, unfortunately. Not because the Saudis dont put in effort (they do, mashaAllah), but because we Muslims just dont care...
Phone your daughter. I dont think *you* would be able to make it for weeks without contact with her.
How is your health? I remember you posting about a particular q, and I pray inshaAllah, Allah swt will make it easy for you. Keep hydrated, and for heavens sake dont eat anything not cooked by your agent on the days of Hajj! I saw women being very ill in Mina and on Arafat from eating from unkown sources.
Ok, one more thing. Please please dont let anyone rush you, for example, when you see the Ka'ba for the first time. remember all the places and times when duaa is answered and take advantage of them! You dont know if you will be returning ever!
Make duaa for your madina family too?

Assalamo elikuim
Mashallah Sr.Barr - may your haj be wonderful and may Allah swt accept it and all your duas, Ameen.
I went on haj two years ago. At that time my daughter was 1 1/2 years old and my other kids (12 and 9). My parents came to our house to stay and take care of kids since the school was still open. In a way it was good becuase my kids specially my duaghter was in a fimiliar environment plus her brothers were there too. I called almost every other day and talked to my other kids and parents but I think once or twice with my daughter( it depends on how your daughter reacts when she hears your voice and you are not there) For mine my mom told me she was confused (since she was only 1 at that time but yours is little older she might like it). To test it you can try going out and calling your daughter and ask your husband or may be your parents in law to see how she reacts. If she cries then dont call , I mean call your parents in law and ask about her etc. but dont talk to her if it upsets you.
I would recommend doing saee with your husband. Its very crowded and lot of pushing. Also if your hotel is not far from Kaba, then its pretty safe to go by yourself. I did lot of tawafs (for kids, sibling etc) and most of the time I went by my self before tahajud time -some times on the main floor depending how crowded it was and sometimes on second floor (I agree with Sr.Shahida that doing it on second floor might be better since less crowded and you can focus on your duas more). Me and my husband did the umrahs together but rest of the ibadah was mostly separate and always had a meeting place for meals. And we also used to sleep from fajr till dhur and used to stay at kaba till isha and then go for dinner and sleep little till tahajud.
Also pack spare clothes in your hand bag just in case (I got my suitcase back 3 weeks after coming back from haj
so the extra suit really wasnt that extra
Try not to focus on negative things while there, I know its hard not to get angry when your room which was confirmed not given to you and you have to spend night in the parking lot
but seriously as long you are in Makkah and Madina, nothing else matter.Small mishap will happen so be prepared for them .
Please pray for your madina board family also
and when you come back Inshallah, tell us how it was.
I want to go too

Jazakumullahu khairan for all the du'as, replies and tips. InshaAllah, I will bear all of that in mind, and inshaALlah, will see what fits me best, and what will be best for me. Please, do keep the tips up. I'd love to hear more.
Alhamdulillah, my daughter didnt cry when I left her for a doctor's appointment yesterday. And today, she went up the school bus with her cousin and aunt to go to her cousin's play school coz the school invites younger "siblings" over every 3rd Tuesdays, and alhamdulillah, she didn't cry, though I think I detected a nervous smile as she looked through the window at me.
We have told her abt the hajj since summer and I've made a calender and we draw pictures of what we did/ going to do so that she has some perception of time. I told her this morning that it'll be 5 more days before I fly. And she said. "Wow, that's so many days!" hmmm
I really hope that Allah soothes her and be her Companion, when we are away. Thing is, she's so attached to me, she told me that I could only have 1 child, and no other children. Hmmm, strategies for the big news would be handy.
Frankly, I don't know if Allah will test me with missing her. I thought about how Rasulullah said that for a woman, her hajj would be jihad. And detaching oneself from one's children after having them lived in one's womb, and going though the pain of childbirth and being there and thinking of them, even when they are not thinking of you. Its like the whole world revolves around them.
And now, I'll be leaving her and travelling all alone, no child - just me and Allah. Grasping the knowledge with yaqeen (certainty) that Allah will take care of her is struggle itself.
A sheikh told me of a tabi'n (or one of the salihoon, I can't remember), and he said,
"My 1st hajj, I saw the khalq (creation), my 2nd hajj, I saw my nafs, in my 3rd hajj, I saw the house of Allah, then, I 'saw' the Lord of the house"
Trying to look beyond the khalq to see the hand of Al-Khaliq (The Creator) in this journey, is a struggle. And I fear of returning home, being the same person as I am.
Jazakumullahukhairan for everything,
P.S. I've always thot that fast food restaurants would hv international standards of hygiene, would it be safe to assume the ones in Saudi are as good. Would you recommend consuming those over others?
P.P.S What do you think of wearing facial masks? (the white one, not the beauty one)

best thing is its quite cheap, I would like to have one made out of harder wood please...

Recommended useful neck support
This is a useful item for supporting a neck while building or repairing. Very satisfied!
This is a useful item for supporting a neck while building or repairing. If you have an angled headstock, you'll have to shim it up for most applications (I use strips of plywood). I'll probably need to create a wedge at some point for when I need support at an angle. I find it handy as it helps avoid putting too much pressure on the headstock when I'm working on a fixed neck guitar.
I use this when clamping frets on my arbor press, which is also a great tool. I also line it with flexible teflon cutting board to prevent glue from sticking when I use this caul for clamping broken neck repairs. It's a great tool.
I got this for hammering frets in, and it seems like it will work just great for my neck.
This is one of those things that every guitar or bass guy should have. Actually, since they are so inexpensive, get several. Keep in mind that youll need shims under it if the neck is attached to a body like a strat or tele if you want to use it as a neck rest. For fretting unmounted necks its nice. I wish they made a 7 string guitar/5 string bass version.

Bringing Sexy Back1 of 9
By Zoe Schaeffer
Trends come and go but looking sexy—in a subtle way, of course—can be timeless. We asked the experts for their best tricks for turning spring's sensual runway styles into sultry, wearable looks.
What a Doll2 of 9
Petra Strand, founder of Pixi Cosmetics, says that doll-like lashes like Twiggy's or Brigitte Bardot's can make a really dramatic statement when done properly. "After two coats of mascara have fully dried, zig-zag the wand through the base of the lashes once more for that full, fluttery appearance," says Petra.
Morning Glory3 of 9
Achieving that perfect "no-makeup" look is a trick in every makeup artist's arsenal. "Steal a little lipstick from your lips and dab it on your cheeks for just a hint of color," says Jessa Blades, founder of www.bladesnaturalbeauty.com. "A pink-y nude shade looks fresh but won't make you look like you tried too hard." Petra adds that clear mascara will give lashes and brows a hint of definition.
She's Come Undone4 of 9
There's no denying that tousled, roughed up hair is super sexy. Jessa suggests making your own "beach spray" by mixing salt, water and your favorite essential oil (she likes lavender.) "Mist it into hair with a water bottle," she says. "If you have medium to thick hair, you can even add a braid afterward without having to fasten it." Don't worry if it falls out; it's supposed to look undone.
Sheen Queen5 of 9
Petra says that a matte face can be pretty, but skin with a dewy sheen looks more natural. "The best way to achieve that ethereal finish is to mix a highlighting lotion with your regular moisturizer. Your face will have a sexy 'glaze' without looking sweaty," she explains.
Twinkle in Her Eye6 of 9
If you've never used metallic shadows before, it's best to layer them over a neutral, matte shade, says Petra. The result is slightly more muted. "For a more defined look, use a metallic liner in a hot color like teal or midnight blue," she adds. "This will help accentuate the shimmer around your eyes."
Orange Crush7 of 9
"An orange-pink mouth is a really hot look right now and luckily it flatters all skin tones," says Petra. "But if orange intimidates you, start with a less shocking coral-pink shade." Jessa agrees that you can wear this look in a more subtle way. "A coat of Chapstick or clear gloss will mute the shade, making it a little less pigmented."
Bookish Beauty8 of 9
According to Jessa, the "Sexy Librarian" look is easy to achieve by using a strong styling gel while hair is still wet. To make it super tight, "use a hair tie to secure a ponytail first and then twist hair around it into a low bun," she says.
Cat's Meow9 of 9
"A subtle cat eye takes practice," Jessa says. "Finding a great liquid liner is key, but finding the right application brush is more important. Look for the thinnest ones. The brush that feels most comfortable will give you the most fluid line."

The stadium was pretty empty and before the game I knew he was there because he shouted…'Lilly sucks!'"

29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[c]; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one."
31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, 32 but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"
33 "We are not stoning you for any good work," they replied, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."
In Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus makes very few claims about himself and tells those who ask how to be saved that they should follow the commandments. In John, Jesus hints in many places and sometimes explicitly states that God is his Father, and that Jesus and the Father are one, and says the way to be saved is to believe in Jesus. It's kind of odd that all four are considered infallible scripture.
The version you describe there about Yhwh torturing himself is basically how I always understood Christian thought. I was taught only someone perfect and sinless (e.g. God) could take the punishment for others. Growing up with that belief, it made all kinds of sense to me.
The Jews of that time have a way of saying "son" to indicate that someone has the qualities of something, or is like something, hence how the brothers James and John were called "sons of thunder".
Thanks for the chapter and verse on that line - I never knew there was such a direct claim in there.
I know about the different connotations of son, but sacrificing your only son is quite different than being the/a 'son of Gawd'.
The thing is, Heather, that the Temple sacrifice of "the perfect lamb" was made by Jewish priests as an homage to god, therefore, the sacrifice of Yeshua, supposedly the son of god, was made (just as Issac was scheduled for), to god -- god ordained the sacrifice of his own son, to himself!
Yes - but my point is that if Jesus IS Yahweh, then Yahweh sacrificed himself to himself to appease his own anger - there is no father/son relationship.
Not to dispute you Physter, but the "we" and "us" in the OT, are there because royalty (ask Stega, who's British), speaks of itself in the third person - which may make no sense, but it's true.
Third person, or plural as in "we are not amused"
Well, maybe YOU'RE not, but WE are!
In fact, when amusement eludes us, we make funny faces in the mirror --
Please cite the verse where it is 'prophesied' that 'Jesus would come'. Please then explain how one could know that Jesus was the one spoken of and not just a man about whom the stories were adjusted to make it seem that he was the one.
You can be a mother and a daughter - but you can't be your own daughter. The mother/daughter relationship, like the father/son relationship, requires two distinct individuals. In the old testament, Yahweh is not described as being a three in one deity. Don't you find it odd that he changed his mind so many times? First requiring that only a certain tribe be his chosen people, sacrificing animals to him like so many other tribes sacrificed to their imaginary gods - then deciding that there was an afterlife in heaven for those who believed he came down here to be tortured, well, not him, his son, who is him - gah, so hard to keep straight.
I don't really know specifically Heather, I'll have to look into that further and get back with you. I just know there are verses in the old testament, like in Isaiah and Jeremiah...I don't know which ones off the top of my head. I'll have to find them. Sorry I don't memorize the Bible as much as I should. Especially the Old testament. Our church focuses a lot on the New Testament.
I find it interesting that you would devote your life to a belief without doing much investigation. I mean you suggest your views must be correct because they've all been prophesied and proven true - but then you aren't familiar with a single specific prophesy.
Christians like the New Testament better than the Old Testament because, I think, it is better. There's more love, and less firey judgement. Christians talk as if the New Testament can supersede or wipe away all the problems of the Old Testament. But you remember Jesus said "I did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it" and that not one jot or tittle of the law would pass away.
If you accept the Bible, you have to figure out what to do with the whole thing. When Jesus said he came to fulfill the law, did he really mean that the law would radically change after his resurrection? If so, what does "not abolishing" the law mean? Are all the books of our Old Testament included in Jesus' statement? If so, why does God accept human sacrifice or order the death of someone who gathered sticks on the Sabbath?
