Legally Speaking- Applying For A P-1 Visa
By Bob Mionske
Posted Jan. 9, 2003
Greetings Mr. Mionske,(I am a professional triathlete here in the U.S. I am Brazilian and moved here about two years ago and at first I stayed here as a tourist. Now I am a student in Florida. I am planning on applying for the p-1 visa. Can I do that by myself? If not, how much will lawyers usually charge for this service?
Dear F.B,(
The answer to your inquiry is located in section 214.2(p), C.F.R. A P-1 visa status applies to aliens who wish to stay in the U.S. temporarily "to perform at [a] specific athletic competition as an athlete, individually or as a team, at an internationally recognized level of performance." Subsection 214.2(p)(2) states that "A P-1 petition for an athlete . . . shall be filed by a United States employer, a United States sponsoring organization, [or] a United States agent . . .."
Therefore, you cannot file directly. In addition, 214(p) requires athletes who are participating in more than one event (that is, a tour) to file an itinerary with the dates and locations of each competition. It is possible that the visitor may be employed by the agent (such as a racing team or commercial sponsor), but the agent must apply for the visa and supply evidence of the employment contract or agreement.
In summary, a P-1 visa permits only athletes visiting to attend a specific event or sequence of events, or an athlete that is employed by a team or sponsor to stay for the length of time of that agreement. In either case, the event or the team must apply for the visa. There is also a lengthy list of documentation as to the credentials of the athlete and the specifics of the event or employment contract. Therefore, the services of an experienced advisor are strongly recommended.
Finally, P-1 status requires application six months prior to issuance of the visa. In any case, you should not wait until your current visa lapses before you secure a new arrangement, as I have been informed that the INS is presently disinclined to assist overstaying visa holders.
Good luck(Bob (

5 Jobs Everyone in the World Should Have at Some Point
#2. Something Where You Have Power
Absolutely everyone should, at some point, be promoted above their level of competency. Obviously, this shouldn't happen all at once, and not for an extended period of time, because that would destroy the world, which is the opposite of what I'd like to do. But it should still happen.
Why Everyone Should Have This Job:
In part, it's for people who have never had any power to see how the other half lives, but mostly it's about learning. If waiting tables is how you learn about other people, being in charge is how you learn about you. There is no better way to learn about yourself than by seeing what you do when you have power. Even a little bit of power would do. You don't need to be the boss of a huge company, you could just be the assistant manager of a Glogurt's -- it doesn't matter. As long a position has some power and a few subordinate employees, you should have it.
It's important for dicks to learn that they're dicks. I held some kind of position of power at a job when I was 18 or 19 and realized pretty immediately that "Whoa, hey, I'm kind of an insufferable prick when put in charge of people. Yeesh." Everyone on the planet deserves that opportunity. The chance to find out if you're a good and fair leader, or an irritating 19-year-old who goes mad with even the tiniest hint of power.
#1. Something Mindless/Labor Intensive
I might have mentioned this before, but I used to wash dishes. I was a bartender for a year or two in college and, to make extra money, I'd hop in the kitchen on nights when I wasn't tending the bar and wash dishes. I really loved it, because I didn't have to use my brain at all, and in college, it's healthy to shut down once in a while in a way that doesn't involve alcohol.
I also learned about communication. All of the other in-kitchen employees spoke Spanish, and when I first started, I didn't speak a word of it. But, slowly, I'd pick a few things up here and there and, eventually, I learned how to ask in Spanish if someone wanted a drink (you mime holding a glass in your hand, pretend to drink from it and then shrug your shoulders as if to say, "Yes?".)
But the most important lesson I learned? How to shut the hell up and work. I've worked a lot of jobs, and most of them offer plenty of opportunities to screw around and be lazy. Dish washing is not one of those jobs. When you show up, there's a big stack of dishes. If you don't clean them, there will A) be no clean dishes for the future and B) be no room for the other dirty dishes that are rapidly being dropped in front of you. In both scenarios, everyone is mad at you, so you need to rinse the dirty dishes and stick them in a big machine. When they're clean, you have to move them to a drying rack, or else the machine would get backed up. And when you return from the drying rack, there's a bigger stack of dirty plates waiting for you.
It's not as stressful as, say, being a doctor, but it offers no down time. There will always be dishes to wash and dry, because that's how restaurants work. So, for six hours, the only thing you can do is your job. There's no opportunity to drag your feet and take an extended trip hauling garbage to the outside dumpster to kill time (a thing I used to do when I worked at a movie theater), and no storage closets to hide in (a thing I used to do when I worked retail at a sporting goods store). You just silently do a mindless, repetitive task over and over again until the job is done, and then you leave.
It's incredibly freaking therapeutic.
Why Everyone Should Have This Job:
Because everyone should just shut up and work for a while. Everyone should have a job that doesn't get easier if you're smarter or more charming than someone else. There are no corners to cut. The job is just "Here's the work. Do the work."
There are some people in this world who have never had chores and never performed any mindless labor.
Don't you think they should?
Daniel O'Brien is Cracked.com's Senior Writer (ladies), which is a job he thinks no one in the world should have, because then it wouldn't be his anymore (bosses).

Have state Democrats had enough?
September 28, 2013
In the Democratic primary of 2006, Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman lost to the more liberal Ned Lamont....
WHAT...........Spoken like a true left leaning radical double-tongued democrat. LOL.
The 'only' truth was that you stayed true to the verbatim mantra of the DNC.

Apparently democrats have not had enough of Obama.
They still support him and his THUGOCRACY; bullying is their game!
Obama taking advantage of the govt shutdown to 'show' citizens that 'he's in control' and he's using bullying tactics to prove it. He's exempting park workers in order to make that point, rather than give vets the exemption. He's spending more money and time bullying citizens at parks around the country than what it would cost keeping all the workers working. Obama is still in a child mentality. Physically these leftists/progressives are mature; but intellectually, they are still in diapers.

Liberals think 'ignorance' is bliss.
Have you seen how 'deranged' liberals are getting after the govt shutdown? Bwahaha....they've really truly lost their minds.

Get over it WHAT. Americans are NOT keeping your huge tax called Obamacare! It's always going to be DEFUNDED until we vote all scoundrel lying deceiving billionaire liberals/progressives out of office; then REAL conservatives will throw that baby into the trash where it belongs.
Did you notice WHAT....that even the AUTHORS of that montrosity Obamacare ADMITTED it's just that? A monstrosity and unworkable disaster??? It's a shame you can't think for yourself.

Democrats have not had enough of Obama.
Just today....."President Stompy Feet told Democrats to kill veterans funding."
Imagine that. Obama rails to GOP about govt shutdown stopping 90/91 year old veterans a chance to see their own memorials in DC and yet when GOP in the House passes a bill to allow them to see it; Obama and DEMOCRATS REFUSE to give them an 'exemption' like all those liberal exemptions he gives away to all his pals for new mandates.
DNC is no longer a party 'for' the people. Dispicable!!!
4 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Democrats are still onboard with Obama's Progressive radical programs. However, they'll now start 'pretending' they are not because they want re-elected!!! That is how Manchin got elected last time; since then we've figured out how much of a deceiver/liar he is.

Saving and Restoring State in Windows Store Apps

In this show Robert discusses managing state in Windows Store apps. When a user switches away from an app in Windows 8, Windows suspends the app. When the user switches back to the app, it looks like it was running all along. Windows can terminate a suspended app if it needs to free up memory for other apps or if it needs to save power. When the user starts the app again, he or she will want the app to resume where it left off. Robert shows how to accomplish this by saving and restoring state. He shows what code you need for XAML apps to do this and where that code goes.
You can find the sample app Robert used here. He also wrote up this topic on his blog.
Oops, something didn't work.

To Zoom in or Zoom out?
SANParks gets a lot of contradictory requests regarding the webcam zoom. Some people prefer to see the whole waterhole while others want to be able to see the animals on the cameras at a closer range. Unless someone monitors the webcams day and night and makes adjustments accordingly (a service which we cannot provide), there is no way we can meet all preferences, all of the time.
Our compromise is to have someone who adjusts the cameras in and out from time to time in order to make all webcam watchers happy at least some of the time. We hope you understand and continue to enjoy the webcams whether they're zoomed in or out, and share your highlights with us on the forums.

Students stay with their group of classmates for the duration of the program, completing one course before moving on to the next. Tuition covers books, class materials and related course fees.

Additionally, the program is offered in two tracks. One track is for the leader who wants to complete his or her formal education at the master's degree level. The second track is for those students who desire to continue their education with an additional research component that prepares the student for doctoral studies.
School of Nursing and Health Sciences:
M.S.N. The master of science in nursing degree may be earned in 24 months. The lock-step program tracks are for clinical nurse specialist (CNS) with an adult health focus and family nurse practitioner (FNP) with a primary care focus.

LISBON - Surveys show that the percentage of college students who binge drink defined as five drinks for men and four drinks for women in two hours has held steady at about 40 percent for most of the past decade, consistently more than non-college students. Combining alcohol with energy drinks has fueled students' ability to drink more and longer.
One estimate from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism blames binge drinking for more than 1,800 college student deaths a year, mostly from drunken driving.
Research shows that frequent binge drinkers are more likely to miss classes, get hurt, engage in risky sex, and have problems in class.
One mother recounts a late night call from her daughter, a student at a college in Connecticut, begging her parents to come and get her, even though the campus was hours away from her home.
The mother had her daughter stay on line while the father called campus security. When officials found her a few minutes later, her face was covered in blood. She had fallen and broken her nose, but she was so intoxicated that she did not realize it. She had been drinking something called "Jungle Juice," a potentially lethal concoction of a syrupy mix of hard liquors and fruit juices.
Some kids throw energy drinks into the mixture. There are dozens of recipes for Jungle Juice online. One popular site calls it "Suicide in a Kettle."
A June 2011 article in "Parade Magazine" says it is not unheard of for kids to sneak into their parents' liquor cabinets. What is new and alarming is the rising trend of extreme underage drinking.
Many advocate changing the legal drinking age to 21 nationwide. "We're seeing kids coming in with blood alcohol levels in the mid .3s, even .4, which is four to five timed the legal limit for driving. That's the level at which 50 percent of people die," said Dr. Mary Claire O'Brien, an emergency medicine physician and assistant professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina, who specializes in alcohol-related research. "Ten years ago, we saw those levels only in chronic alcoholics."
The goal of adolescents who drink is to get as drunk as possible, as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Unfortunately, there are now more and more dangerous ways to accomplish this than ever before:?the practice of mixing alcohol with super-caffeinated energy drinks; the marketing of flavored malt beverages in 23.5 ounce cans, each containing a serious dose of alcohol; a shift in preference from beer to hard liquor; and the influence of social media, through which kids avidly share Jungle Juice recipes and tales of their exploits, have all raised the stakes.
According to the CDS, about 90 percent of all teen alcohol consumption occurs in the form of binge drinking, which experts say peaks at age 19.
Forty-one percent of 12th graders report having had a drink in the previous 30 days, and by the time kids are in college, that number climbs to 72 percent.
Approximately 200,000 adolescents visit emergency rooms each year because of drinking-related incidents, and more than 1,700 college students die.
"Underage drinking doesn't discriminate," said Adrian Lopez, director of community outreach for the SoBeSober program for teens in Miami. "Whether you are an upper-middle-class, straight-A student or from an inner city, it impacts all demographics and communities. And it often peaks in May and June, when kids are celebrating proms and graduations. We call it 'The Killing Season.'"
The craze for combining energy drinks, (which can have far more caffeine than coffee or cola,) with alcohol is particularly troubling. Dr. O'Brien first became aware of the phenomenon in 2006 when a student was brought in near-comatose. "The caffeine blocks the part of alcohol that makes you sleepy and might otherwise cause you to pass out, so you are able to drink far more than you might have. By the time many of these kids get to the hospital, they have to be put temporarily on respirators because of depressed breathing."
Dr. O'Brien and her colleagues conducted a survey of 4,271 students from universities in North Carolina and found that about a quarter of the kids who had a drink in the past 30 days said they were mixing alcohol and energy drinks. They got drunk twice as often and drank more per session than those who had alcohol without caffeine.
The FDA ordered the makers of four brands including Phusion Projects which sells the cult favorite "Four Loko" to remove the caffeine.
It was re-formulated and no longer contains caffeine, but each 23.5 ounce can has the alcohol equivalent of four to five beers. One high school junior said that "Four Loko" is everywhere and tastes like candy, so kids drink a lot of it at a fast pace.
Hard liquor is increasingly replacing beer in drinking games. Kids can easily drink 7 to 10 shots at a time. "The adolescent brain is much more sensitive to alcohol toxicity than adults, including being vulnerable to cell death," said Dr. Fulton Crews, director of the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. "Adolescents showed much more frontal cortical damage than adults. We found that one high dose of alcohol caused significant loss of brain stem cells." Dr. Crews said that if kids start drinking early, they are 40 percent to 60 percent more likely to become an alcoholic, regardless of family history.
In Columbiana County, the Young Adult Initiative of the ADAPT (Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Team) Coalition conducted a survey of alcohol use in 2011 among 582 individuals aged 18 to 25.
Results show 25 percent of those surveyed are binge drinking and almost 57 percent reported alcohol use in the past 30 days. Peer influence is powerful with this age group, and unfortunately 90 percent reported that their friends have never tried to stop them from getting drunk. Eighty-two percent reported their friends have actually encouraged them to drink.
The Columbiana County MHRS Board's priorities include prevention of substance abuse and the provision of effective treatment for persons with addictions. For more information, call the MHRS Board at 330-424-0195, or visit the Board's website: www.ccmhrsb.org.
The ADAPT Coalition, which is partially funded by the MHRS Board, is a great source of information for parents and community members who are interested in preventing youth substance abuse.

BELLEFONTE - Over the past three-plus months, since his conviction on 45 counts of child sex abuse, Jerry Sandusky would find himself dreaming of the extreme highs and lows of his 68-year-old life.
He would do this in the small confines of his private cell at the Centre County Correctional Facility, only a couple of miles from the Centre County Courthouse where, aside from his family, the world probably saw him for the final time Tuesday morning.
Between the few things he's permitted - eating, reading, meditating, writing and exercising - the former Penn State football assistant coach and defensive coordinator once considered to be a Hall of Fame humanitarian for his charity work, closes his eyes.
As he dozes off, he sees people who have stood by him.
He remembers teaching and coaching. He remembers the glory of locker-room victory celebrations and the low moments brought by the sorrow of defeat.
"I've been blessed," he told Judge John M. Cleland Jr. on Tuesday. "I've been to the mountaintop, and I've seen the shadow of death."
He hears the cheers and the jeers.
He sees himself making photo albums and throwing "hundreds of kids in the air." He envisions water-balloon battles and backyard football games.
He dreams about family outings with his wife, Dottie, and their six adopted children, and it dawns on him that his 46th anniversary is coming. He leans over to hug Dottie and, he said, "I hit my head against the cinder block wall."
It reminds him where he is - "symbolic," he said - and after Tuesday's sentence of a minimum of 30 years in a state prison, where he will very likely spend the rest of his days.
How much time he has left is anyone's guess.
Arriving in a red-orange jumpsuit with the words "Centre County" on the back, Sandusky appears to have dropped a minimum of 30 pounds since he was arrested in November. He is pale and wrinkled, his voice weakened.
Sandusky's victims deserve tremendous credit for their role in taking a sexually violent predator - a classification even Sandusky did not contest Tuesday morning - off the streets forever.
Though he said Tuesday he was "emotional and determined," Sandusky showed no remorse, and his ill-fated defense led by Joe Amendola, a virtual talk-show host, included a regurgitation of a Monday interview Sandusky did with Penn State's Com-Radio proclaiming his innocence.
In his warped mind, even though he ended up naked with and violating many of the children he was mentoring over decades, he thinks he did nothing wrong.
The prosecution, and Cleland, rolled their eyes.
"Unbelievable," Cleland called it.
"He whines of his own pain," lead prosecutor Joseph McGettigan said, adding he hopes Sandusky's name "vanishes like the wind."
If it were only that simple.
Closure to this chapter will be helpful, but the image of one of the most prominent figures in Penn State history - convicted and now sentenced - and staring blankly in the back of a sheriff's vehicle will, unfortunately, be as etched into our minds as any of the Nittany Lions' greatest moments.
For that, to varying degrees, so many have been violated beyond the victims.
The fallout will now shift to everything the university, its high-ranking officials and others did wrong in a collective failure to stop Sandusky before hitting its own head on a cinder block.

Did LA have a legitament chance at the Cup this year? Almost everybody that knows anything about hockey would say no. They had the lowest scoring team in the league and barely squeaked into the playoffs as a #8 seed.
All of this doom and gloom stuff is stupid. There are 7 teams in the west that will not make the playoffs. Most likely they are:
Phoenix (maybe)
Nashville (maybe)
For us to NOT make the playoffs, we have to be worse than 2 of these teams. I just don't see it
Not sure that (as the team sits now) I would give the Wings the edge against Minnie or Nashville. Edmonton one of these years will rock the west.
What scares me the most is that some of our more injury prone players go down this season (Z and Kronner) then look out!

AP International University Recognition
AP is recognized as a highly desirable academic credential around the globe. Universities in over 60 countries outside the United States recognize AP in the admission process. Universities may also recognize AP Exam scores for advanced placement, the opportunity to skip introductory-level courses or award credit or points toward an undergraduate degree.
Additionally, we recognize schools with SAT policies where applicable. Please note that specific SAT scores, minimums, or ranges listed on this website likely pertain to the pre-March 2016 SAT. A concordance table on the College Board website can be used to compare these old score expectations to the new SAT. We are currently contacting schools to determine their SAT score expectations for the post-March 2016 SAT administrations. In the meantime, as well as always good practice, one should contact the university directly to get the latest policy updates.
We are currently working with universities as they develop and communicate their AP recognition policies, and we are continuing to update these pages as universities send us their information.

Separate independent clauses with a comma only when they are joined by a coordinating conjunction.
This is not as complicated as it sounds. A comma splice occurs when you use a comma without and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet (these are the coordinating conjunctions) when joining two clauses. Grammar-checkers won't always catch comma splices; however, you can correct a comma splice by dividing the two clauses into separate sentences, by replacing the comma with a semicolon, by subordinating one of the clauses, or by adding a coordinating conjunction.
1. It snowed all night, none of the paths were plowed this morning.
[Comma splice. Try two sentences: It snowed all night. None of the paths were plowed this morning.]
2. The students looked sleepier than usual, they had sat up most of the night studying for the exam.
[Comma splice. Try a coordinating conjunction: The students looked sleepier than usual, for they had....]
3. I have been proofreading this paper all day, I can no longer see my errors.
[Apparently. Comma splice. Try subordinating the first clause: Because I have been proofreading this paper all day, I can no longer....]
4. She had eaten nothing but lettuce all week, however she still couldn't fit into her black pants.
[Comma splice. Try a semicolon: She had eaten nothing but lettuce all week; however, she still.... Note that however is a conjunctive adverb, not a coordinating conjunction. See Semicolon ("semi") for other conjunctive adverbs.]

TAHOE, Calif. — Have you ever felt confused about how to incorporate fire defensible space and Best Management Practices (BMPs) for erosion control into your backyard? Integrated Environmental Restoration Services, Inc. in collaboration with Tahoe Resource Conservation District, Meeks Bay Fire Protection District, North Tahoe Fire District, and Homewood Mountain Resort recently completed a three-year study to find common ground between landscape treatments that are effective at preventing soil erosion and minimizing the risk of fire.
Integrated Environmental's study tested different materials and practices, like pine needles, aged duff (a thick mat of decaying organic matter), woodchips, composted woodchips, landscape bark (purchased in stores), and duff and wood chips tilled into the soil, for erosion and fire risk.
To find out which treatments prevented run-off, the different materials were exposed to a simulated rainstorm. To test for fire risk, materials were lit on fire using a drip torch (administered by local firefighters) and measured for flame height, rate of flame spread and burn temperature of the different materials.
Of all the treatments tested, the study found that tilling aged woodchips into the soil was the most effective at minimizing fire risk and preventing erosion. Mixing 1 to 3 inches of wood chips into your soil to a depth of 4 to 6 inches promotes water infiltration. Kevin Drake, senior planner at Integrated Environmental, explains is as "mixing organic material, like wood chips, into the soil helps turn your soil back into a sponge. Instead of water running off your property, the loosened soil actually absorbs water."
"I am glad we were able to test the flammability of the mulch tilled in here in Tahoe. While we couldn't get the best test due to Mother Nature, it still gave us some insight about possibilities to solve both fire danger and soil erosion issues," said John B. Pang, chief of the Meeks Bay Fire Protection District.
No organic mulch is entirely fire resistant, which means planter beds with tilled in woodchips should be used along with rock, patios, or grass in a patchwork manner throughout your landscape. It is also important to create a non-combustible zone in the 5 feet directly around your home by applying gravel, rocks, or low growing non-woody plants like clover or native grass.
To learn more about Tahoe friendly landscape treatments and Integrated Environmental's study, check out the Common Ground brochure at www.ierstahoe.com or www.tahoercd.org.

Integrated Environmental Restoration Services, Inc. is a recognized leader in the development, testing, implementing and monitoring of cutting-edge, soil based restoration projects throughout the Sierra Nevada. The Defensible Space and Erosion Control Study was funded through Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) Round 10 to help determine the most effective landscape treatments for minimizing the risk of fire and soil erosion.

PALM COAST, Fla. – Sophomore Cahit Kapukiran's run through qualifying at the ITF Future USA-F4 finally came to an end on Monday, as he fell to number one overall seed Eric Prodon 6-2, 6-1 in the final round of competition.
"All weekend long, Cahit has shown great fighting spirit, especially with his two three-set win," Stetson associate head coach Christophe Noblet said. "Reaching the final round of qualifying in such a high level tournament is no easy task."
Kapukiran won his first three matches at the ITF Futures in Palm Coast before falling to Prodon, who was once ranked 83rd in the world.
"Overall, it was a great tournament with many good wins for us," Noblet continued. "The players have battled through difficult weather conditions, played on a different surface, but ultimately competed at the highest level."
Stetson will continue regular season play with the Hatters' home opener on Sunday, Feb. 2. Stetson hosts Georgia Southern at 1:00 p.m. at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.

An extensive police and safety analysis report has left Lower Macungie Township with many questions and several possible outcomes when it comes to the future of a police force.
Dr. Gary Cordner of the Criminal Justice Department at Kutztown University presented his research findings about the status of LMT's police and safety standards in relation to the state and Lehigh County.
Lower Macungie is the 22nd largest township in Pennsylvania and is one of only two of the largest 37 to rely on the State Police rather than having its own police force. Only one other township, Hempfield, also relies on the State Police.
Cordner noted that statistics specific to Lower Macungie were difficult to ascertain because the State Police do not differentiate between townships in their crime rates, but that in all likelihood it has very low crime rates.
Cordner offered six final options at the end of his presentation that included maintaining the status quo or creating a Lower Macungie Township Police Department.
Currently, Lower Macungie pays no money for State Police coverage, so starting its own department would be a large expense to take on, though it could mean more control and responsiveness to the township.
Additionally, there is a legislative proposal in Harrisburg that could require townships that rely on the State Police to pay $156 per resident per year. In this case, Lower Macungie Township might have to face some difficult decisions about what options will best suit its residents.
"We wanted to get some basic information in case somewhere down the road something happens, then we have the background information," said Scott Forbes, the president of the Public Safety Commission in LMT.
The Township Commissioners Board contracted Cordner to research all of the options for LMT. There is no necessary action attached to Cordner's findings, which will be presented in their final form to the Township Commissioners on December 19th.
If LMT decides to leave the State Police, they will simple reassign their resources elsewhere. LMT's decision one way or the other has no real effect o the State Police, according to Lt. John Nederostek, the station commander based in Fogelsville.
A decision to create a police force could cost the township seven figures, according to Cordner, but that is specific information that he plans to reveal in detail on December 19th.

There are a lot of television shows involving criminal investigations and murder. The public must love them otherwise there wouldn't be so many. I have to admit that I've been sucked into a few of them. I've seen:
Foyle's War [1]
The Wire [3]
The Shield (We no longer have this one)
The Closer [4]
Bones [5]
Mentalist [6]
Numb3rs [7]
Dead Zone [8]
The Jesse Stone Series [9]
Over the weekend I picked up season one of "Criminal Minds" on dvd. This show follows an elite team of FBI criminal profilers that specialize in creating detailed profiles of criminals after a crime as taken place in a local community. They are called the "Behavioral Analysis Unit" of the FBI. What's interesting is that this really does exist [10]! Despite what you might think of profiling, this show does an excellent job of showing how profiling helps catch criminals quickly. There's a lot of law enforcement jargon in the show, but they reveal what it means in subsequent episodes. So, if you're into police shows and criminal investigations, here's another one to check out [11]. See the trailer below.

Smith's black 2000 Mercedes-Benz 420E was found in a Simi Valley, Calif., storage facility last month. After the car was inspected, police announced that the case had taken a new turn.
"The condition of the vehicle in conjunction with cooperating witness statements indicates he was killed," Lt. Dave Dolson said in a press conference. "At this time, the evidence leads us to believe he was murdered." His body has yet to be found.
For the first time, police also named a person of interest in the case: John Creech, 40, a convicted drug dealer currently serving time at L.A. County Men's Central Jail, who detectives have yet to interview. The storage facility was rented to a friend of Creech.
Police also confirmed that the married Smith, 57, had met Creech's wife, Chandrika, 39, in rehab in 2009.
"They had a relationship," L.A. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore confirms to PEOPLE, "but we're not going to characterize what kind it was."
Asked if this was a revenge killing for an affair, Whitmore would only say: "Our detectives have a good idea what the motive is, but we're not going to say at this time."
Vanished in Thin AirSmith, involved in distributing Avatar and the Star Wars films, vanished the evening of May 1, 2012 after driving away from a friend's L.A.-area home where he'd been staying, leaving behind his shaving kit, cell phone charger and other belongings.
According to a source close to the family, Smith had been having marital problems at the time, which his son, Evan, alluded to in a April 14 Tweet: "Thoughts and prayers out to my amazing Mom and bros plz," Evan wrote. "My dad decided to leave the family last nite. Real family sticks together."
But the Smith family later downplayed the marital drama, saying it wasn't anything out of the ordinary that the couple couldn't work out, the source said.
Meanwhile, Chandrika Creech has spoken to detectives on many occasions about the disappearance, police added, but they declined to elaborate. Approached by a reporter at his drug sentencing last year, John Creech denied that he ever met Smith.
Regarding the discovery of her husband's car, Lisa Smith said in a statement: "We are both saddened and heartened by the discovery of this crucial evidence, and know that the sheriff's department will help us acquire a measure of justice."
Lisa Smith also told the Los Angeles Times that murder was what she and their three sons had suspected all along.
"For the rest of the world to know that he didn't leave us is huge," she said. "He would have never done that. We knew from the get-go that something horrible had happened because he just wouldn't do this."

FOSTORIA - On the strength of a pair of runner-up finishes, Calvert earned second overall at the Fostoria Invitational.
Fostoria placed sixth, while Oregon Clay took first at the event.
In the singles tournament, Calvert's Madison Daniel finished second, beating Ottawa-Glandorf's Haley Recker 6-0, 6-2, then slipping past Springfield's Silvva Caniglia, 6-0, 6-2.
In the final, Daniel fell to Bluffton's Maggie Felt, 6-0, 7-5.
Calvert's other second came in third doubles, where Kerrigan Kwiat and Cassie Recker went 2-1.
Kwiat and Recker started their day by beating O-G's Kristen Ellerbeck and Elsa Redman. The duo then beat Bluffton's Dynasty Martin and Justine Mitchell, 6-1, 6-3, before losing to Clay's Jenn Lucas and Rachel Nelson, 6-1, 6-1.

Anyone agree with me that YuYu Hakasho shouldve kept going? Its one of my favorite anime and i think it shouldve llasted longer than it did..they left a lot of room for it to keep going and the ending was wierd.
I liked Yu Yu Hakusho, but I think it ended fine. They could've had little side stories as to what Yuske was doing in demon world after the final tournament but other then that I'm not so sure there was anything else to tell. I liked how there was no filler arcs. "When the heavens do not bring forth justice, man must bring it upon himself to do so. That is the meaning of Jinchuu." -Enishi Yukishiro.
It was a good series and it ended with the 3 kings was its own deal.
A good place to watch anime is youranimenow.com, it doesnt have all anime but most of the popular ones. It has A-Zand this is where i watched all of the YuYu Hakasho episodes
i watched the anime about a year ago and have seen so many since and i forgot the exact spelling lol
Excuseme but I think you have commited a mistake, the anime is called Yu Yu Hakusho not Hakasho ;D
It's a good series."I love anime and manga! Also J-Rock!"
I really liked it, and it ended well. I think it would be interesting if they made a second season about when the kids where young adults, some of them like Yusuke & kako and kuwabara & Yukina were married, and how Yusuke, Kuwabara, kurama, and Hiei were still a powerful team of evil demond hunters.
I ageree. This show was my altime favorite anime show. I still have all four seasons, and i can probably say the whole show word for word.
I can't say that that it have to go on or not
it might be on the internet. check megavideo.com, justdubs.net, animefreak.tv, animefuel.com. i think funimation was pulling anime from the internet so it might not be on. "When the heavens do not bring forth justice, man must bring it upon himself to do so. That is the meaning of Jinchuu." -Enishi Yukishiro.
some of them can not findthe anime on the seurchand others I find a video named Yu Yu Hakashomixed with tree diffirent animes-Yu-Gi-Oh one realy old animeand other that I haven't watched before...Well wathever
you can try google video search. but ya you probably can't see the full series on the internet without looking real hard because of a claim by funimation. i think u might be able to pick up the series boxsets at bestbuy or u can read it in shonen jump, i think they still have it in there. "When the heavens do not bring forth justice, man must bring it upon himself to do so. That is the meaning of Jinchuu." -Enishi Yukishiro.
well the anime is not bad I am not shure butmaibe I will download it Well for the questionthat It have to go on or not I think that it have to go onbut one thing I don't like is the characters theyare not polished they need some work over thembut the anime is good I think
Iknow right the ending was werid if they would have kept the show goin then would have made more sense at the end of the season
my mistake sometimes my writing is wrongbecouse I am Bulgarian and english is notmy first language yup-yup
i think it had a good ending. yomi, toguro, chu and yusuke are cool.

Can't take off a whole week for the International Public Works Congress and Exposition? Don't worry. We have the ticket that is just your ticket—our one-day registration! Geared for those who cannot take the entire time for Congress, the one-day pass entitles the registrant to all educational sessions on that day and, also, entry to the exposition where the latest in public works equipment and services will be on display.
On Sunday, the one-day registrant may enjoy the Get Acquainted Party from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at the Pavilion and West Terraces in the San Diego Convention Center. Those registering for Monday only may also take advantage of the awards presentation from 4:45-6:15 p.m. Attendance at the annual banquet is not included on Wednesday. Tickets for that may be purchased separately for $75.
The one-day registrations may be purchased onsite at $210 for APWA members and $235 for nonmembers. A special pass to tour the exhibit hall only is also available for just $30.
Speaking of the $30 special exhibit hall pass—given its location near several major population centers in Southern California, Congress in San Diego is a terrific opportunity for supervisors to let staff attend the exposition for one day. Congress is great for those attendees who are able to go for four days, but it is also a wonderful experience for non-supervisors who can walk the exhibit floor for only $30 per day. It's a chance to have your entire staff take advantage of this once-a-year gathering of the biggest and best in public works.
We're looking forward to seeing you in San Diego!

Joachim (Parr)
Schema-Archimandrite Joachim (Parr) (born 1936) is the Abbot of St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Monastery in New York, of the Russian Orthodox Church in the USA.
He was born in 1936 in a Catholic family from Great Britain.
At the age of 18 he took monastic vows in the Benedictine Order. In 1950s he served as a missionary in Calcutta. He read lectures in atholic schools in Brazil and the USA.
Under the influence of St. John of Shanghai, he turned to the Orthodox church. In 1970s he lived in St. Elias Skete on Mount Athos.
In 1993 hieromonk Joachim (Parr) established the St. Mary of Egypt Monastery at the Mercy House in Lower Manhattan. Fr Joachim's primary goal was to serve the needs of the inner-city poor.
In 1995 the community opened a small chapel for a wide range of divine services.
Hieromonk Joachim was an ardent advocate of ROCOR's reunion with the Moscow Patriarchate. In early 2000 he was in charge of foreign affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR).
In 2001 his monastery was included in the Patriarchal Parishes of the Moscow Patriarchate in the United States.
In 2008 the community bought a land plot in Treadwell, New York, and founded the Savior's Desert Monastery.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Is there anything that aspirin-related compounds can't do? NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as aspirin, inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) that catalyze formation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid and they have been widely used for relieving pain, reducing fever and inflammation, "thinning" blood, and slowing the progression of some types of metastatic growth. Aside from their actions to reduce symptoms related to prostaglandins (pain, swelling, inflammation), the molecular basis of action of NSAIDs is not fully understood. Now, however, an explanation has come forward accounting for these compounds' ability to enhance anti-cancer treatments directed against some types of tumors. In findings published in the most recent issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine, Wen-Chun Hung and colleagues report that one NSAID, known as NS398 (a so-called COX-2 inhibitor) up-regulates several genes known to be involved in negative regulation of cell invasion. Interestingly, the mechanism of NS398 action appears to be by promoter demethylation of these genes (accomplished by inhibition of expression of a methylase), resulting in activation of their gene expression and subsequent inhibition of cell invasion. Promoter methylation/demethylation, like histone acetylation/deacetylation is part of the voodoo known as epigenetics that has taken genetic analysis by storm and looks to do the same for treatments. The latest finding may be the tip of a therapeutic iceberg researchers are standing on, inasmuch as some cancers are known to have pro-apoptotic genes specifically inactivated by methylation. Expect a LOT more research aimed at developing drugs to target methylation/demethylation of specific genes.

Focus: 'V' for 'Visibility' in Sri Lanka
12 March 2011
by Sonia Josserand Mercier, UNV Programme Officer, Sri Lanka
In Sri Lanka, efforts are underway to ensure the International Year of Volunteers +10 gets all the visibility needed.
Volunteering in Sri Lanka is getting visibility in the printed media with an article in the national Daily News on 5 March 2011, another article in the February issue of the Sri Lanka UN Staff Bulletin, and more coverage to be expected soon.
On 22 March there will be a press briefing with - potentially - an incentive for the media in the shape of a revered international cricket star! (We are awaiting confirmation of this). As we are in the midst of the Cricket World Cup, no doubt this will add extra visibility to the volunteering cause.
The press briefing will announce the upcoming 'V Forum', the first significant event launched by the International Year of Volunteers +10 Sri Lanka Steering Committee. The 'V Forum' was among the ideas put forward at the inaugural meeting of the Steering Committee, led by the UN Resident Coordinator Neil Buhne on 28 November 2010. It will feature renowned keynote speakers and bring together a broad spectrum of stakeholders, ranging from private sector to academia, government, civil society, plus the media and youth organizations.
Sri Lanka is also online with a wealth of recently-launched promotional tools starting with the International Year of Volunteers +10 Sri Lanka website at: www.IYV10SRILANKA.com.The website is still in its infancy and we will be posting volunteer stories from Sri Lanka soon as well as photos, videos and a lot more.
We are also launching a call for volunteers through our website and mailing lists to join the Sri Lankan 'V Force' and some great people are already on board. This is triggering other opportunities such as invitations to spread the word through other organizations' events, as well as in the TEDx Colombo speakers' event! We are thrilled!
International Year of Volunteers +10 fans can also check out our Facebook page, leave messages, post on the International Year of Volunteers +10 Sri Lanka wall and share with their friends!.
We are currently shooting some videos that will appear on the YouTube Channel at: www.youtube.com/iyv10srilanka. Photos will be stored on our newly opened Flickr page at: www.flickr.com/iyv10srilanka/.
Volunteering is definitely getting more and more visible in Sri Lanka; and we are eager to maximize the benefits and reach out to all people of the country ! We will keep you posted…

There's a story about how I left my camera on the plane.
And a whole other story about how I got it back.
There's a story about my Blissdom Wisdom Workshop.
And how I was on Cloud 9 after my workshop.
And there's my favorite story about how the sitter said she couldn't get over how much Ivy and I resemble each other.
Blissdom is going great. I learned last night that Gray is back at home sick with the stomach flu. :( So my heart is pulled, but hubby is taking care of everything. Nothing to worry about, he says. So I am believing that. I speak again at 3pm CST today! I am so excited.

text: Cabane Rambert is manned in summer. In front of the original Swiss Alpine Club's stone house, which has red and white shutters, there is a terrace offering a panoramic view toward the south. Access is directly from Ovronnaz, the hike takes 4 hours. The 5-hour hike from Pont de Nant is a little more exposed.

We lie in bed face to face nose to nose and her big blue eyes tell stories without need of mouth, and she looks into mine, and understands my soul.
She loves me. She tells me so all the time.
I love her more than even I could know.
