Share the post "Tony Shultz Presents 'The Fight Promoter Book Series' To Help Build Future Boxing Promoters"
Boxing is back in the spotlight in a big way. With the recent Floyd Mayweather fight in Vegas, boxing has become a topic in the mainstream news again. Carrying on that momentum though is another story. Tony Shultz is presenting a solution however.
With the launch of his five-part Fight Promoter Book Series at http://HowToPromoteFights.com, Tony is filling a huge void where boxing needs him the most, and doing something that has never been done before at the same time. He is teaching people how to become fight promoters themselves, to get in on the action while the spotlight is on.
The problem with boxing currently, of course, is that as boxing promoters have gotten older, so has the fan base. With no new faces in boxing promotions, it's become almost impossible for young up-and-coming boxers to connect with a new generation of fans.
"The fact is that boxers are now having to turn into promoters just to get their name out there" says Shultz. "This is simply because the current list of dominate promoters in boxing just aren't connecting with a younger fan base, like a young hungry promoter would."
Even more, with LIVE programming becoming an ever more important commodity for Network TV due to evolving DVR viewing habits, boxing is quickly realized as the perfect "story telling" sport once again. "Story telling is everything in boxing" adds Shultz.
So the hope is that with the new Fight Promoter Book Series that Tony has put up for sale on the Amazon Kindle Store, it will inspire a new generation of fight promoters to join in and take advantage of this enormous opportunity that the Floyd Mayweather spotlight is creating for the sport currently.

This invention relates to a forgery-proof information carrier, for example an identity card. (ID card), a bank card, a permit card or another corresponding document comprising an insert containing the information, such as data, photographs and security features, and at least one film which covers the information and is firmly joined to the insert.
It is known to provide documents, such as bank notes, securities, permit cards and identity cards (ID cards) or passports with a number of security measures which are supposed to make forgery of these documents impossible.
Examples of such security measures include autotypy or note line print on the document or background lines, as described for example in German Auslegeschrift No. 2,630,002.
The documents mentioned often have visible or tangible water-marks in special papers. The printing inks of the documents can often only be reproduced with difficulty using photographic materials. It is known from British Pat. No. 2,015,429 to provide documents with such reproduction-proof or forgery-proof coloured representations.
It is also known to provide documents, such as ID cards, with passport photo, signatures or fingerprints, and to then weld the documents between films.
In order to prevent passport photos which have been inserted from being exchanged, the insert may be made of a piece of special photographic paper, and the data and passport photo are exposed and then developed on the layers thereof. Moreover, this insert may also be provided with additional line print or autotype, and may be welded between films.
Swiss Pat. No. 4,077,066 discloses an identity card in which water-marks, radioactive or fluorescent marks, and a photographic emulsion layer which is applied to the intermediate layer and bears a passport photo of the card owner are provided. Furthermore, a signature strip which is no longer accessible in the finished identity card, and an embossing stamp applied to the outer cover film are provided. An additional imprint on the card blank in the form of thin wave lines, as in the case of for example bank notes (guilloches), which may be made in different colours, extends the protection against forgeries.
It is also known to apply photographic notes to the documents. Another conventional safety precution is the preparation of one of the inside faces or the surface of the documents using dyes which are only visible using wavelengths in the ultraviolet or infrared range.
This measure and a number of other known types of production of documents have the disadvantage that they do not offer any kind of reliable protection against potential forgers and do not allow a simple and clear establishment of authenticity by humans using simple means. Of course, a combination of a number of safety measures complicates the forgery of such documents, but at the same time, it entails a considerable increase in the cost of the documents. For the most part, the documents also have to be produced using non-standard techniques (special constructions) which are very expensive in the case of small quantities.
The object of the present invention is to provide a forgery-proof information carrier which may be easily identified as genuine and which, while being economical to produce, is very forgery-proof.
Based on an information carrier of the initially-mentioned type, the object is achieved according to the present invention in that the film covering the insert provided with the information has an externally applied imprint, the shapes of which are identical to those of the security features on the insert and are imprinted in an exactly fitting manner over these features.
The stamps which are precisely registered with the security features on the insert and are positioned above them make it possible, in a surprisingly simple manner, to immediately see and detect a forgery of the information carrier after separating the film from the insert. Thus, forgery of the information carrier is virtually impossible.
Processes and tools which are suitable for the production of true-formed and true-fitting prints and stamps are known.
In one specific embodiment, the insert is a photographic recording material which has a substrate of paper or plastics, and the substrate is provided with a value mark print, for example with guilloches and/or with water marks. In this embodiment, the information and a photo of the owner are transferred photographically to the insert. The photographic emulsion on the insert may be a black and white silver halide emulsion for the production of a black and white insert, or a colour emulsion, with which a coloured card may be produced.
The layer which may be developed photographically may either be a daylight-sensitive silver halide emulsion or a daylight-insensitive receiving layer containing developing nuclei for the silver salt diffusion process, so that the insert may be produced in daylight.
The information data may be digital or analog data, or both. It may be read as a clear text and/or as a code and by a machine, which further complicates a forgery.
An advantageous embodiment of the information carrier is distinguished in that additional security features are applied photographically to the insert, for example marks, dots, lines or surfaces and corresponding security features are imprinted into the cover film in a visible, tangible and exactly-fitting manner.
In addition to the different information such as name, date of birth, address, code numbers and other data, each insert has symbols, marks, dots, lines (guilloches) or surfaces which may be black and white or coloured and are fixed once and are applied photographically to the insert. The film for covering the insert has imprints corresponding in position and shape to the security features of the insert. The film is applied with its imprints to the insert in an exactly fitting manner, for example by bonding or welding, such that the imprints are exactly positioned over the exposed security features of the insert.
Another advantageous embodiment of the information carrier is distinguished in that in addition to the photographically applied information, marks, dots, lines or surfaces are printed as security features onto the insert using printing inks for the visible or invisible spectral range and corresponding features are printed into the cover film in a visible, tangible and exactly fitting manner.
Imprinting the security features on the insert using printing ink indeed necessitates another working cycle, but shows considerable advantages in that in so doing it is possible to use printing inks which cannot be reproduced photographically. Colours may be used which may only be recognised in the infrared or ultraviolet ranges, or which show a different colour shade or a different colour in polarized light compared to in normal daylight. In this manner, a forgery may be further complicated and an authenticity test may be made more reliable. Of course, printing inks having different properties may also be applied by repeatedly printing on the insert inks which, for example are visible in the normal spectral range, in addition to inks which are only visible using specific aids. One imprint on the cover film is allocated to each print to ensure against forgery, which imprint is positioned exactly over the imprint on the insert.
If a photographic film is used as the insert, the photographic emulsion of which is cast onto a plastics substrate, then it suffices to provide the side of the insert bearing the information with a cover film which is imprinted corresponding to the security features.
In an advantangeous embodiment, the insert is provided on both sides with cover films and at least one of the sides is imprinted in an exactly fitting manner to the imprint on this side of the insert. Of course, it is also possible to provide both sides of the insert with security features and to imprint both cover films accordingly. In this arrangement, both cover films may be provided with the same or different imprints corresponding to the security features. The bilateral arrangement of the cover films also has the advantage that the information carrier does not bend due to its symmetrical construction, and therefore it is easier to read mechanically.
A particularly advantageous embodiment which complicates forgery even further is distinguished in that the cover films are composite films consisting of at least two films of a different chemical composition, and the stamp extends into each of the films.
A split in the composite film is immediately visible, because the imprints are damaged as a result of this. Also, a split in the information carrier between the composite film or films and the insert leads to ultimate destruction, because the security features cannot be subsequently superimposed again in an exactly covering manner.
Thus, the present invention opens a very reliable and economic door to the production of an information carrier which is extremely forgery-proof. This invention is particularly suitable for the production of identity cards or ID cards, but also for the production of bank cards or permit cards.
One embodiment of the present invention will now be described in more detail, with the help of the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a top view of an identity card (ID card);
FIG. 2 is a cross-section through the identity card according to FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 illustrates a greatly enlarged portion of a cross-section through the identity card.
FIG. 1 illustrates in top view an example of an embodiment of an identity card. The identity card contains one panel 1 for a photograph of the owner, one panel 2 with the details about the owner of the card, such as name, address, date of birth and signature etc., one panel 3 with details about the purpose or the validity of the card and generally one panel 4 for mechanically-legible data. If necessary, the panels 2 to 4 may be positioned such that there is room for a fingerprint. On its surface, the card has imprints 8, the purpose of which will be explained in the following.
FIG. 2 illustrates a section through an identity card according to FIG. 1. Accordingly, the card comprises a substrate 6 which supports a photographic silver halide emulsion layer 7. The substrate 6 may be a photographic paper support with or without a plastics covering which, before being covered with the silver halide emulsion layer, is printed like a bank note on one or both sides with a security print (photographic value paper), for example with guilloches, and/or is provided with different water-marks. However, the substrate 6 may also comprise a printed plastics film.
A photo 1, the details 2 to 4, optionally including a fingerprint, and other security features 9, 10 are exposed on the photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer 7 which is applied to the prepared substrate. The layer is then fixed and, after rinsing, dried. However, the details 3,4 and the security features 9, 10 may also be printed with printing inks before or after exposure and processing (FIG. 3). Conventional printing processes are suitable for the printing operation.
If the photographic layer 7 comprises a daylight-insensitive image receiving layer, then the substrate 6 and the photographic layer 7 may be printed in daylight. The prepared insert 6, 7 is joined in an undetachable manner, at least on the side supporting the photographic layer 7, to a film 5, or (as illustrated in FIG. 2) on both sides to films 5. The joinder is made by laminating using specific adhesives, for example those which contain hardening initiators which may be activated by radiation, by heat or by accelerators and may be hardened in this manner. Such laminates are known, for example from German Auslegeschrift No. 2,952,322. It is impossible to detach the films from the insert when these adhesives are used without destroying the film and the insert.
The undetachable joinder between the films 5 and the insert 6, 7 may also be achieved by welding using pressure and heat, when the films 5 and the surface insert 6, 7 are to be fused together.
Composite films are illustrated in FIG. 2 as films 5 which comprise two films A, B of a different chemical composition. The films A and B may have a colour shade of a slightly different type in order to further complicate a forgery.
FIG. 3 shows an enlarged portion of FIG. 2 with the substrate 6, the photographic layer 7 and a composite film 5 which is firmly joined to the photographic layer 7. Security features 9, 10 are imprinted on the photographic layer 7 which is provided with a photograph 1 and information 2,3,4. The security features may be, for example marks or surfaces 9 or thin lines (guilloches) or dots 10, and are imprinted at specific points on the insert 6, 7 or are distributed over the complete surface of said insert.
The film 5 is provided with imprints 8 at the points corresponding to the printed image 9, 10, so that a similar overlying imprint 8 which exactly corresponds to the printed security feature 9, 10 comes to lie above each printed feature.
The film 5 may be provided with the imprints 8 before it is attached to the insert 6, 7, and then applied onto the insert 6, 7 in an exactly fitting manner.
However, the imprints 8 may also be provided after the films 5 have been applied, in which case the information carrier is supplied in a true-fitting manner to the stamping tool.
In this arrangement, the stamping operation is carried out from above in the direction of the arrow to such a depth that both films A and B of the composite film 5 receive an imprint 8. The imprint extends through film A into film B. Therefore, any attempt to split the composite film 5 is immediately apparent.
Due to the imprint pattern 8 of the films A and B which is identical to the pattern printed on the insert 6,7, it is immediately possible to detect a separation of the film B from the insert 6, 7, and such an attempt cannot subsequently be repaired.
Not only opaque but also transparent inks may be used as printing inks in order to optionally facilitate the legibility of the information carrier. Likewise, it is possible to use inks which cannot be recognised in the visible spectral range without aids. In general, it is possible to use conventional pigmented printing inks.
Instead of imprinting the security features, it is also possible to provide the photographic layer of the insert with a background pattern by suitable exposure and development, and/or marks thin lines or dots, which, for example, may be exposed and conform with the imprints applied to the film (FIG. 2).

Skip to comments.No background check needed to fire gun on range (barf alert)
Posted on 05/16/2010 11:23:11 AM PDT by rellimpank
Juan Cardona-Marquez can't legally buy a gun. He can't shoot one. He can't even touch one without committing a crime.
So how was it that the 22-year-old Milwaukee man - who threatened his girlfriend and was later charged with armed robbery and a string of burglaries - was able to rent a .45-caliber Glock handgun from Badger Guns and practice his aim on the store's shooting range?
The answer lies in a little-known quirk of federal gun laws.
Gun stores must check the criminal background of anyone buying a gun. But no check is required if someone rents a gun to use on the store's shooting range. In fact, a background check is not even allowed for rentals.
Prosecutors say a felon or other person legally barred from having a gun is breaking the law by handling one and could be charged. But they need proof.
"They can go and play with a gun, handle it, fire it, even take pictures with it to intimidate other people and nobody is going to know about it," said Joseph J. Vince Jr., a retired supervisor from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
"If they have the gun in the store or out of the store, it is a danger to the public."

Liberals are little kids and afraid of their own shadows.
They can also do that by carving a block of wood, and painting it to look like a gun. They can do that by having someone who's good at Photoshop superimpose their face on a photo of another person in a threatening pose.
These hand-wringing ninnies need to get a life. Why don't they worry about incoming asteroids.
Did these guys ever come across a problem, not related to sex or drugs, where they DIDN'T think the solution was for ME to give up some more freedom?
Personally, I think it would be a good idea to do a background check when they rent a gun. The problem is that there is no facility to do a background check on such short notice. We have a local gun range where a mother and her 20 year old son went to the range and rented a gun. The mother killed the son, then killed herself. Turns out that she had been Baker Acted, yet they rented her a gun. There was no way the gun shop could have known that she had been Baker Acted. They complained to the State that the State would not let them do an instant background check, but to no avail. A month later, some guy went to the same range, rented a gun, and committed suicide. I was just there a few days ago. They are still not doing background checks because there is simply no way to do them.
Are you an ATF agent? You certainly have the mentality.
I suspect they're also not *allowed* to refuse to rent a gun to someone just because they have a bad feeling about him/her, because as an establishment open to the public, that would be "discrimination" and they'd find themselves on the losing end of legal action.
In many cases, the management's hunch might be more effective than a federal or state background check.
Give me a break. Are you going to stand up for the right of crazy people and felons to rent guns? Not me. And by the way, the NRA is also opposed to the idea of mental defects and felons being permitted to have guns. Law abiding gun owners do not benefit from letting crazies and felons have guns.
You do know that they can't leave the shooting range with the gun, don't you?
I've been hoping for one of those to hit DC.
No, I'm standing up for the right of sane law-abiding people to rent weapons without their employees (at the gun range OR the statehouse) knowing their business.
If Juan Cardona-Marquez (Obviously an Amish name!) were indeed a "prohibited person" when he went to that gun range, then even touching a firearm there was already a crime. Thus there is no loophole in the law and the author should go and change his Depends.
No such luck. In reality, it would hit my town or yours, and the perfectly intact Mensa candidates in Congress would ban asteroids! :-(
Please tell me how a background check is going to stop a suicide if some person wakes up one morning and decides to kill themself and their family members? Mom could have also rented a car and driven off a cliff. Are you going to do firearm background checks on car rentals?
Bigmouth! He hadn't thought of that one yet!
"...Shall not be infringed..."
The lady I wrote about had been Baker Acted. That is pretty crazy. The other guy, as far as I know, had not been Baker Acted, so the range probably would not have been able to stop him. But the range I go to has a big sign on the door, "We reserve the right to deny service to anyone for any reason." They also make you fill out a form where they ask you if you've been declared incompetent or convicted of a felony. They also ask if you're subject to a restraining order. Of course, anyone can lie about that stuff, and they'd never know. Personally, I would feel a bit safer in the range if I thought they had done a background check on everyone. And I don't see what the civil liberties issue is, assuming that it could be done quickly.
The fact that the guy killed himself doesn't bother me. I just don't want to be standing in the stall at the shooting range next to that guy when he does it.
If they are law abiding sane people, then they won't know their business. It's the insane people and the felons who fail the check.
That's a laugh. The idea of you even being 'in the range' is ludicrous.
Did you wet your pants?
They should be required to keep spare pants too, for those like you.
Whoops! Correction: Turns out to be plain old rain...Whew! That was close...
OK just band all Obama voters.
I've been shooting for decades, so yes, I know they can't legally leave the shooting range with the gun. But that leaves more opportunity for mischief than I think is necessary. What is the problem with telling a crazy person or felon you can't rent a gun? Why are you so determined to vindicate the right of a crazy person or a felon to rent a gun?
And how will the range be checking them without telling the federales their names? (Actually there is a way this could be done if we really need a NICS system, but they won't do it)
Why are you so determined to make it more difficult for sane people to rent a gun? Why are you trying to solve what amounts to a statistically non-existent problem by restricting all of our rights?
I can answer that for you. It's because 'moderates' like you are really nothing more than the fascist wing of the Republican party. You want everyone to be 'safe', just like the Democrats. But your solutions are 'less radical' than the eeevil Democrat ones, while still looking out for our 'safety'.
In actuality, a 'less radical' jack-booted thug is still a jack-booted thug.
Well, more like a Jack Loafered Thug. Much less tyrannical.
Jack Loafered Thuggery(tm)! Now with 28% less tyranny! Get yours today!
< rimshot > Try the veal, it's great! I'll be here all week!
$hit happens . Live with it !
They check my name every time I buy a gun. I have no objection to changing the way it's done to make it less obtrusive. Like I've said in my earlier posts, if they were going to do a background check on people who rent guns, they WOULD have to change the way they do them, because you can't get an instant check under the current system.
My point here is that the whole thread is premised upon the notion that a felon ought not be subject to a background check, and a lot of posters seem to be standing up for the right of a felon to rent a gun without being subjected to a background check. That is just plain crazy. And when they try to turn it around and say they are standing up for the right of law abiding sane people to rent a gun without a background check, they just look foolish. This can be done quickly, easily, with no violation of privacy. There is no legitimate reason that anyone has offered so far for why it should not be done.
Heck, as I stated before, the gun range itself was complaining that it could not do an instant background check. They don't want to rent guns to nuts either.
If I ran a gun shop and wanted to rent guns, I would make rentals contingent upon joining a "club" wherein they are checked using whatever means necessary to insure they are legally allowed to own a gun. After the check is complete, they are issued a card, and then they can rent a firearm for range use.
Renting firearms to anyone that walks in the door just seems like a recipe for trouble.
No, they're not. They're standing up the for the rights of the sane people, and if a few kooks slip through the cracks, better that than invading the privacy of the other 99.99%.
This can be done quickly, easily, with no violation of privacy. There is no legitimate reason that anyone has offered so far for why it should not be done.
It CAN, they choose no to revamp the system in such a way that the users' names are NEVER in the possession of the feral government, despite the fact that they're prohibited by law from keeping records of the names. If they won't do that, it makes them look like they're lying. Plus we have to trust them with information. What would you say the odds are of the government NEVER, NEVER misusing information once it's in their grubby statist little hands? And, yes I did state (quite clearly I thought) why this was a bad idea.
"Law abiding gun owners do not benefit from letting crazies and felons have guns."
I'm not defending the guy but who gets to say whether a person is a mental defect? According to the libs gun owners are mental defects. And I wouldn't trust the NRA to defend your rights either.
If they've been Baker Acted, that is a pretty good sign. Or if they've been convicted of a felony.
I agree it would need revamping, but the whole idea of doing a background check for gun rentals would involve revamping because you can't get an instant background check right now, period.
"Why are you so determined to make it more difficult for sane people to rent a gun?"
My philosophy is similar to the NRA's. Do the simple things to reduce gun crime that don't put a significant burden on law-abiding gun owners, and that will reduce the pressure from the leftists to take more draconian actions. Denying a felon or a court-declared insane person (Baker Act) the right to buy or rent a gun is a simple thing that does not imping upon my rights.
If you are that worried about it, don't go to the range. Or the grocery store, movie theater, restaurant or bar. Prohibited persons are armed in all those places.
And I dont see what the civil liberties issue is, assuming that it could be done quickly.
Shall not be infringed" is pretty easy to understand and it's a Constitutional right, not a "civil" anything.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, Pennsylvania Assembly: Reply to the Governor, November 11, 1755.The Papers of Benjamin Franklin, ed. Leonard W. Labaree, vol. 6, p. 242 (1963).
A version is on a plaque on the Statute of Liberty. "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Yeah, 'revamping' is just a peachy idea. Let's have the government that considers returning veterans, pro-lifers, and tea partiers to be potential terrorists 'revamp' the background check process. That's one heck of a brilliant idea right there. I see where you get your user name.
You said in your nice little FreepMail to me that I don't know you. Oh, but I do know you. You were a fervent Rudy Giulliani supporter who assured us all that his anti-gun past was behind him. And now, you're here trying to 'save us all' from some non-existent problem of gun range suicides by doing background checks on everyone who wants to rent a gun. And to top it all off, you're using the liberal tactic of telling everyone who questions your idea that they must be for guns in the hands of crazy people.
I know exactly who and what you are. It's 'common-sense regulation', you'll say. You'll tell us you 'have no problem' with guns, yet you seem to want to make it more difficult for us to have or use them. On this particular thread, you even make the laughable assertion that you are a gun owner yourself who would 'feel safer on the range' if there was a background check.
I don't know about any of the rest of my fellow FReepers, but I've never felt unsafe on a gun range in my life. In fact, I feel a hell of a lot safer there than I do in a 'gun free school zone'.
What would make ME feel safer is if people like you would just mind your own damn business and leave our constitutional rights alone. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is pretty clear language.
No. They are Domestic Enemies that are an active threat to the rest of us.
Pull your head out of your arse, right now.
How do you propose to do the check without telling the government that the "law abiding sane people" are going to the gun range?"
How do you propose to do the check without telling the government that the "law abiding sane people" are going to the gun range?"
Hasn't been but since 1986 that they would *sell* a gun to anyone who walked in the door. I have a nice 1911A1 that was the last gun I bought from a dealer before the "background check" became manadatory for handguns, and a "serious social purposes" shotgun that I got before the check was required for long arms. Plus a nice WW-II carbine that I bought with no check, since it was from a private seller, not a dealer.
The receiver for my AR also did not require a background check, even though I bought it just over a year ago. Bought it from a dealer too.
Brain fade. That was when you could last buy a newly made machine gun. 1994 was when the "Brady law" went into effect requiring all those useless background checks. So 16+ years ago. Out of the 219 years since the Bill of Rights was passed.
But that pressure from the left will NEVER abate. Their goal is totalitarianism. Not saying that necessarily with reference to this issue, just an observation how the left works.
Yeah. But this same Milwaukee Sun Sentinel would be slobbering all over this thug, working to keep him from being DEPORTED!!!
You keep saying that as if it means something. After they've paid their debt to society, what other rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights (among others) do you wish to deny to these individuals?

Most dermatologists are familiar with patch testing, but expanded testing beyond standard trays is not ubiquitous. Patients with metal implants (orthopedic, dental, or cardiac devices) referred to dermatologists for patch testing present a unique challenge an important practice gap. How should we manage these patients? Who benefits from testing? What, if any, impact does patch testing have on implant selection or management?
Whether seeing the patient preoperatively to determine what metals the patient is allergic to or postoperatively to help manage issues of joint failure or device complications, the dermatologist must set realistic expectations for the patient and referring physician about what information will be obtained through patch testing. For the patient undergoing testing prior to implant selection, the dermatologist must emphasize that the patch test detects current allergy but is not indicative of future allergy. In addition, limitations must be discussed. The patch test is a cutaneous test that does not recreate the environment in which the metal resides. Therefore, the testing might not recreate or elicit the same response as that of a metal within a joint space, for example. Coordinating the patch test procedure with a surgeon's timeline is yet another challenge.

Staycations Here to Stay?
Southland residents are looking no further than their own back yards, relatively speaking, when
it comes to planning summer getaways. According to a feature in today's L.A. Daily News, 2009 represents the second year so-called staycations are in vogue. Last year holiday travel was cut by skyrocketing gas prices and steep air fares. Although those two metrics are far more traveler-friendly this year, deepening apprehension about the global recession, combined with Angelenos' anxieties about job security, are making day trips to Disneyland or Universal City way more popular than two-week stays in Hawaii or Europe.
Jeffrey Spring of the Auto Club says his group's annual pre-summer
survey of membership travel plans won't be out for a couple of weeks,
but feels this year's vacation season will be "softer" than 2008.

For those willing to blow the wad on an overnighter, options range from
the rustic
(Lake Arrowhead), to the coastal (San Diego) or to heat-driven bargains
(Palm Springs). The unwillingness of many, however, to entail overnight
expenses is killing hotel business in places like San Francisco. Last
week'sN.Y. Times reported that
boutique hotels in the City by the Bay were going for under $100 a
night. The Auto Club's Spring says hotels are already preparing for the
slowdown by slashing prices and offering tempting package deals.
even such same-day destinations as Six Flags Magic Mountain or
Disneyland don't seem recession-proof. Six Flag's stock fell so low on
the New York Stock Exchange last week (27 cents a share) that it
suffered the ignominy of being delisted
by the exchange, and the Walt Disney Co. has announced 1,900 layoffs in
its theme parks nationwide, with 300 pink slips being handed out at
Anaheim's Disneyland Resort.
Of course, really frugal Southlanders are taking the term staycation to a literal level and by not going anywhere at all. The Daily News feature
raises the new specter of the "naycation," where people don't simply
stay home, but stay home and grumble about their plight.

Christiane Luise Amalie Becker
Christiane Luise Amalie Becker-Neumann (15 December 1778 – 22 September 1797) was a German actress.
She was born in Crossen-an-der-Oder, in the Kingdom of Prussia (now Krosno Odrzańskie, Poland), daughter of a theatrical manager and dramatic poet, Johann Christian Neumann. She made her first stage appearance in 1787 at Weimar.[1]
Here she received some training from Goethe and from Corona Schröter, the singer, and her beauty and charm made her the favourite both of court and public. She married actor Heinrich Becker in 1793.[1]
Her last part was that of Euphrosyne in the opera Das Petermännchen, and it is under this name that Goethe immortalized her in a poem which first appeared in Schiller's Musen Almanach of 1799.[1]
She died of tuberculosis in 1797. The Euphrosyne-Denkmal (Euphrosyne Memorial), erected in Rosenberg (now Olesno) and moved to Weimar in 1950, was built in her honour.[1]

NimbleGen CGH arrays are used to identify DNA copy-number changes associated with a broad range of human diseases including mental retardation, autism, schizophrenia, cancer, and autoimmune disease. Figure 2 shows whole-genome PDF views of pathogenic chromosomal gains and losses associated with mental retardation using the NimbleGen CGH 12x135K Whole-Genome Tiling v3.0 Array.
Data is displayed as whole-genome "rainbow" plots where each chromosome is denoted by a different color. CGH analysis of gDNA from a healthy male versus healthy female shows the expected copy-number loss of chromosome X (probes are shifted below the baseline) and gain of chromosome Y (probes are shifted above the baseline), but no other pathogenic copy-number changes are detected. In contrast, large copy-number gains and losses associated with Trisomy 21 and Velocardiofacial Syndrome are detected, as indicated by the arrows.
In addition to whole-genome PDF views, NimbleGen CGH data is provided in GFF for interactive viewing using SignalMap software. Figure 3 shows a zoom-in view of an ~382 Kb deletion region and an ~35 Kb amplification in a Burkitt Lymphoma cell line detected using the NimbleGen Human CGH 3x720K Whole-Genome Tiling v3.0 Array but missed using a lower-resolution competitor's array.
Data is displayed in SignalMap software alongside annotation tracks (provided with Roche NimbleGen CGH arrays) showing corresponding normal CNVs annotated in the Database of Genomic Variants, segmental duplication regions, and known genes.
The NimbleGen CGH array portfolio includes catalog whole-genome and custom targeted designs in 2.1M, 3x720K, and 12x135K array formats for human and nonhuman organisms (e.g., mouse, rat, dog, cow). This flexibility in array format and design, combined with a simple workflow with validated instruments, reagent kits, and software offers a complete solution for DNA copy-number analysis from high-resolution discovery to high-throughput detection.

Benefits Of A Tankless Water Heater In Your Home
Hot water is essential in the home. Previously, people would use the water heater systems that had a tank that contained pre-heated water. These days, however, there are tankless water systems in the home. The water gets heated as it passes through the pipes, which means that unless the power is out, you will constantly have hot water. This system has proved to be advantageous in many ways. Below are the benefits of using the tankless water heater.
One, this type of system is efficient since your hot water does not run out. With the tank system, once the hot water is over in the tank, you have to wait for the tank to get filled with cold water so that the water heater will heat it. This is time-consuming and often annoying when you find that there is no hot water, and you are in a hurry to get somewhere.
Editor's Note: We are fond of Reeves Family Plumbing's Water Heater Installation in Dallas
Additionally, the tankless water heater system saves lots of space in your home. Since the water will be heated as it passes through the pipes, it means that you do not require a tank. Not only will you save space, but you will save money since you will not need routine maintenance for the tank.
The tankless system is also preferable since you will have a shower at your convenience. You will not need to have specific bath times for everyone in the home. This is a huge convenience.
When water is stored in the tank for a period, it tends to become unsafe for you to use. However, with the tankless water heater system, you will be getting fresh water as it comes through the pipes. Thus, the tankless system proves to be a safe and hygienic way to use the water in your home.
Apart from the installation costs, you will not need to pay for any other costs for the water heater. The bill will be in the general electric bill. If you do not use too much water, then the cost will be affordable. A water heater does not get spoilt too often so you will be saved from repairs too. A good storage tank is often pricy and with all the maintenance costs, one will be paying lots of money altogether.
All in all, the tankless water heater system has proven to be more effective than the tank storage ones.

Bitonic euclidean traveling-salesman problem
The euclidean traveling-salesman problem is the problem of determining the shortest closed tour that connects a given set of n points in the plane. Figure 15.9(a) shows the solution to a 7-point problem. The general problem is NP-complete, and its solution is therefore believed to require more than polynomial time (see Chapter 34).
J. L. Bentley has suggested that we simplify the problem by restricting our attention to bitonic tours, that is, tours that start at the leftmost point, go strictly left to right to the rightmost point, and then go strictly right to left back to the starting point. Figure 15.9(b) shows the shortest bitonic tour of the same 7 points. In this case, a'polynomial-time algorithm is possible.
Describe an O(n2)-time algorithm for determining an optimal bitonic tour. You may assume that no two points have the same x-coordinate. (Hint: Scan left to right, maintaining optimal possibilities for the two parts of the tour.)

If owners Rita and Mike aren't there when you visit, the rest of the Live Bait family is sure to extend the southern hospitality this establishment has become known for.
Looking to enjoy those warm ocean breezes even after the sun sets on Orange Beach? Live Bait recently renovated its tiki deck and oyster bar so you can enjoy the Gulf Coast culture en plein air. It doesn't even have to be dusk to start partying, either. Live Bait boasts the island's longest happy hour - 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day! The tiki deck is also a great place to host a party. Whether it's a family reunion, a bachelorette bash or a school dance, Live Bait is happy to put its two indoor dining spaces, Live Bait Too patio, Live Bait Restaurant Tiki Bar and the four full-service bars to good use! This is the perfect venue for groups staying in three-bedroom Orange Beach houses.
Even if you aren't planning your own party, stop by Thursday through Sunday - there's sure to be some activity. The massive dance floor and stage featuring professional audio, visual and lighting systems makes it a perfect venue for local rock groups, who play Thursday through Saturday every week. On Sundays, gather some friends for the weekly All You Can Eat Crawfish boil! Fortunately, this establishment is located just steps from Orange Beach rentals.

The Cook Islands consist of 15 islands with a total population of approximately 19,000, scattered over some 2 million square kilometres of the Pacific Ocean. They lie in the centre of the Polynesian Triangle, flanked to the west by The Kingdom of Tonga and the Samoas and to the east by Tahiti and the islands of French Polynesia.
The Polynesians are unique and friendly. They have their own language and government and enjoy a vigorous and diverse culture with significant differences between each island. Despite some 100,000 visitors a year to the capital island, Rarotonga, the Cook Islands are largely unspoiled by tourism. They offer a rare opportunity for people from the cities of the world to experience a lifestyle exuding warmth, happiness and respect.

Iran announced the arrest of an Israeli "network of spies and terrorists" on Tuesday, claiming the men were responsible for the death of one of its top nuclear scientists.
Professor Massoud Ali Mohammadi, a leading nuclear physicist, was killed last January when a booby-trapped motorcycle parked outside his home in Tehran exploded.
"They have confessed to being trained by the Mossad and receiving all of their equipment from that agency," Ismael Kowsari of the Iranian parliament's National Security Commission told the FARS News Agency.
Iranian intelligence chief Heidar Moslehi confirmed that 10 men, allegedly with links to Mossad, Israel's secret service, were in custody.
"Iranian intelligence infiltrated the Zionist regime's intelligence system and located the regime's networks," Moslehi told reporters on Tuesday.
"We acquired solid intelligence and managed to place our people in the regime's intelligence in order to trace people connected to the Zionist regime," he said.
The ministry also posted a statement on its website.
"Following extensive security measures and precise monitoring of information and thanks to Allah's graces, the intelligence ministry forces succeeded in identifying and arresting the main elements responsible for this terrorist crime and disbanded a spying and terrorist network affiliated to the Qods Occupying regime [Israel]," the statement read, FARS reported.
"Heavy blows were inflicted on the structure of the Zionist intelligence and security services," the statement concluded.

In 37 locations across the U.S., AFSC works with young people, communities, policymakers, and partners to promote peace, challenge inequities, transform unjust systems, and build alternatives grounded in the common good.
Waging Peace
When President Obama called on Congress to authorize military strikes on Syria in September, public opposition effectively pressured the U.S. to support diplomatic options instead. More than 10 years of AFSC's public education on the human and financial costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan clearly made a difference. So did our ongoing work to prevent the next war.
From a high-level meeting of the U.N. General Assembly on nuclear nonproliferation to events held with faith communities, partners, and youth, AFSC facilitated conversations about just and lasting peace—and what each of us can do to help achieve it.
Young people across the country called for better federal budget priorities, with 250 submitting original videos for our If I Had a Trillion Dollars film festival.
AFSC partnered with 119 diverse national organizations on a sign-on letter asking Congress to "pull the pork" from the Pentagon budget. Campaigns with partners in Kansas City, Mo., Raleigh, N.C., and Massachusetts resulted in calls on Congress to move money from the military to fund human needs.
These efforts and others brought hundreds of organizations and tens of thousands of individuals to affirm that reducing military spending is key to funding education, healthcare, green energy, and more.
Youth leadership
Young people are among the most deeply affected by high rates of unemployment, violence, and discrimination. They are also important agents of change.
Youth organizers in Seattle worked tirelessly to bring a message of "education not incarceration" to teachers, school administrators, and others this year, challenging policies that effectively funnel children into prison. Students in St. Louis took steps to free their high school of violence after learning about the extraordinary incarceration and homicide rates affecting African-American youth in Missouri. Students at the Chesapeake Center, an alternative school in Maryland, embraced a peer-to-peer mentoring program designed to reduce violence.
In Los Angeles, young people won approval for a new raised-bed garden at a housing project located in one of the city's food deserts. Participants in AFSC's 67 Sueños program in the San Francisco Bay Area advocated for humane immigration policy with a mural depicting the injustices of the nation's first bracero "guest worker" program. Young people in New Orleans created a mural promoting youth as role models, advocates, and leaders. And 10 young people working with AFSC programs across the country came together for a human rights summit in Washington, D.C., where they honed research and advocacy skills to bring back home.
Humane immigration policy
AFSC campaigned hard for humane immigration policy this year, and not just in Congress. As senators and representatives took up bills, AFSC engaged communities in legislative advocacy and advocated for humane reforms in Washington. At the same time, we worked hand-in-hand with partners to make change from the ground up.
Those efforts had concrete results: California passed the TRUST Act, limiting local collaboration with federal immigration enforcement efforts. Colorado passed laws offering in-state tuition and driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants and repealed the state's "show me your papers law." The Newark, N.J., Police Department issued a policy to ensure immigrants feel safe contacting the police in an emergency, and Amherst and Northampton, Mass., passed ordinances addressing similar concerns. Homestead, Fla., considered making municipal identification cards available to all residents, regardless of immigration status. And Dayton, Ohio, was recognized by the U.S. Conference of Mayors for its efforts to welcome immigrants as partners in revitalization and job creation.
At the same time, AFSC assisted thousands of immigrants who couldn't otherwise afford legal representation, including the mentally ill, unaccompanied minors, survivors of domestic violence, young people applying for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, those in detention, and those seeking Temporary Protected Status. We also helped victims of wage theft, offered "Know Your Rights" trainings, and provided citizenship classes that helped approximately 200 Haitians attain citizenship.
Justice in the system
When 30,000 California prisoners went on a hunger strike last summer, over three dozen of them refusing food for 60 days, AFSC staff served on the mediation team representing them. Prisoners overcame broad differences to build consensus for the nonviolent action, which succeeded in opening a dialogue with prison officials and policymakers.
That dialogue is sorely needed, as AFSC staff and volunteers in Michigan and New Jersey who responded to more than 1,300 prisoner letters can attest. Across the country, AFSC worked closely with prisoners, faith communities, families, advocates, police, corrections staff, and policymakers to end human rights violations and systemic racial injustices and to promote institutional change.
As Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) celebrated its 30th anniversary and with it, the launch of what has become a multi-billion dollar industry, AFSC's program in Arizona made clear that pioneering for-profit prisons is nothing to celebrate. In fact, the private prison record in Arizona helped AFSC and partners convince the state of New Hampshire to reject bids for privatization this year, despite intense lobbying by prison operators.
From testimonies that helped persuade the San Joaquin, Calif., County Board to reject a proposed prison expansion to the launch of a new mentoring program for lifers in New York prisons, AFSC promoted alternative approaches to prevent harm and to facilitate healing.
Ending poverty, creating opportunity
A campaign to end child poverty in West Virginia achieved many of its first year objectives, thanks to organizing efforts by AFSC and partners. Results included hard-won Medicaid expansion, funding for child care and family violence prevention programs, an innovative school nutrition law, health coverage for teenage mothers, and prison reform.
In New Mexico, AFSC doubled its training programs for aspiring and beginning farmers. The program helped participants aged 19 to 75 learn traditional growing techniques and expand markets for locally grown food—and in the process, creating jobs. The Seattle Indian Program strengthened economic opportunity as well, promoting standards of authenticity in support of Native artists.
AFSC supported Move to Amend campaigns in 11 Ohio communities calling for a U.S. Constitutional Amendment declaring that corporations are not people and that money is not speech. Our economic and social justice newspaper, Street Spirit, worked with a coalition of homeless advocates in Berkeley, Calif., to defeat a ballot initiative that would have criminalized homeless people for sitting down, sleeping, and resting. And in cities and towns nationwide, AFSC continued to support labor rights, organize with families facing foreclosure, and support safety net services to help people through hard times.

Joy Behar
Someone Just Blamed the Kardashians for Terrorism
The Kardashians pretty much suck. We think we can all agree on this.
But that doesn't mean Joy Behar still may have gone a tad too far on The View this week when she blamed Kim Kardashian and her family for terrorists attacks on the United States.
Nene Leakes: The View Co-Hosts Are A Bunch of "Mean Girls"
Nene Leakes can hold her own, especially when it comes to a group of opinionated women.
The View Announces New Cast (Including a Very Familar Face)!
Hey! Look who is set to enjoy The View once again!
ABC has confirmed the full panel for Season 19 of this ever-changing talk show, with Joy Behar officially on board to return as a full-time host.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck Fires Back at Rosie O'Donnell, Joy Behar
The daytime drama continues!
Just one day after word got out that Rosie O'Donnell would return to The View as a co-host of the popular chat show, Elisabeth Hasselbeck responded as only she can.
Joy Behar to Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Explain Yourself!
It's Deju Vu all over again for Joy Behar.
For many months during her stint as co-host of The View, Behar was stuck between a feuding Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck - and now that O'Donnell is on her way back, Behar finds herself once again being asked about the two rivals.
Joy Behar Exits The View: Kisses All Around!
The View gave Joy Behar quite the official send off this morning.
On the panelist's final day as host, the show's set was filled with past and former colleagues, along with beloved guests and friends.
Joy Behar Leaving The View After 16 Years
Joy Behar is leaving The View after 16 years on the ABC daytime gab-fest.
The 70-year-old's contract is up in August and she has reportedly informed the network that she will not renew it as she moves on to other endeavors.
Joy Behar Not Leaving The View; Will Anchor Current TV Show
Joy Behar is not leaving ABC's The View, at least not yet, despite reports of her imminent departure ... but she will anchor a new show on Current TV.
Behar will co-host a 6 p.m. talk show Monday through Thursday starting in September for the low-rated outlet founded by former V.P. Al Gore.
Joy Behar and Steve Janowitz: Married!
The View co-host Joy Behar will have even more to talk about than usual - she and her longtime boyfriend, Steve Janowitz, have tied the knot.
Calling Steve her "longtime boyfriend" is actually an understatement. They have been dating for 29 YEARS. Hey, why rush a good thing, right?
Awww: Snooki Apologizes to Joy Behar, The View
As her war of words with Joy Behar continued to escalate, Jersey Shore star Snooki decided to be the bigger person (for the first time in the 4'9" pip squeak's life).
On the Wendy Williams Show earlier in the week, Snooki apologized for tangling with The View host. Wednesday, Behar officially accepted Snooki's mea culpa.
The View Fights Back: Babs, Behar Bash Snooki
Taking a break from espousing their opinions on Gabrielle Giffords, Sarah Palin and blood libels, The View focused on something equally pressing this morning:

Theft-Theft Charges-Cook County, Illinois
Call a Chicago criminal lawyer at 312-229-5500 for legal help with your Theft case.
What is Theft in Illinois?
You can be guilty of a Theft if you:
(1) Obtain or exert unauthorized control over property of the owner; or
(2) Obtain by deception control over property of the owner; or
(3) Obtain by threat control over property of the owner; or
(4) Obtain control over stolen property knowing the property to have been stolen or under such circumstances as would reasonably induce someone to believe that the property was stolen; or
(5) Obtain or exert control over property in the custody of any law enforcement agency which is explicitly represented to them by any law enforcement officer or any individual acting on behalf of a law enforcement agency as being stolen, and (A) Intends to deprive the owner permanently of the use or benefit of the property; or (B) Knowingly uses, conceals or abandons the property in such a manner as to deprive the owner permanently of such use or benefit; or (C) Uses, conceals, or abandons the property knowing such use, concealment or abandonment probably will deprive the owner permanently of such use or benefit.
You can be guilty of a theft when you intentionally deprive the owner of their property or exert unlawful control of the property.
What is the Sentence for Theft?
Whether the Theft charge is a Felony or a Misdemeanor depends on the value of the stolen property. If the value of the property is up to $500.00, the Theft is a Class A Misdemeanor (720 ILCS 5/16-1(b)1). If the value of the property is over $500.00 it's a Felony. Generally, jail is mandatory if the amount stolen is over 1 million dollars or over $100,000 if the property was stolen from a place of worship, school or government property. However, probation or Court supervision are generally available as an alternative to jail depending on your criminal history, the facts of the case, and whether you are charged with a Felony or a Misdemeanor.
Can I Expunge or Seal a Theft Conviction?
In Illinois, Misdemeanor Theft charges can be expunged or sealed depending on your criminal background. Felony Theft convictions are not eligible for expunging or sealing and can only be removed by a Governor's Pardon.
Convictions can be viewed by the public, employers, credit agencies, schools, government, landlords, etc. Most employers do not hire people with criminal convictions. Especially a criminal record for stealing. Colleges may deny admission or expel a student who gets convicted of a crime. Landlords can refuse to rent to people with criminal convictions. A conviction can also affect custody and visitation rights.
The Prosecutor often fails to see the broader consequences of a criminal conviction. Prosecutors are mostly concerned with getting a conviction and sending people to jail.
Why TRUST Legal Defenders as Your Attorneys For Your Cook County Theft Case?

Upon reviewing all of the evidence, we will then typically file a Motion to Dismiss, Motion to Quash Arrest and Suppress Evidence, Motion to Suppress Statement and any other motions if required by the facts and law. The idea is to win the case before it goes to trial.
