Hey all,
Going to be in Amsterdam in from 3/10 - 3/13 - been to town 8 times and am planning to hit some favorites but wanted to give a scope to see if it came up with any good suggestions. So here it goes:
Dinner - La Perla - Nduja pizza - so good!
Lunch - Provisions from De Kaaskamer - Spanish ham, cheese and olives.
Velminkcx - French Fries - so good!
Dinner - Japanese Pancake World - one of my favorites all time for Amsterdam and Europe as a whole. A one of a kind experience and with limited hours. The last 3 times I've been they've been closed.
Lunch - Broodje Bert - Grilled Salami and Cheese Sandwich or the famous buger
Dinner - Restaurant Marius - god I love this place, my wife will be so jealous but it has to be done.
Hope this helps some of you all and please add suggestions if you see fit!

If you thought the days of companies paying six figures for domain names was over, think again. Pizza.com has been sold for US$2.6 million.
The owner is one Chris Clark who registered the domain back in 1994 and has paid US$20 a year since then to retain it. The domain didn't lie dormant, however, with Clarke initially trying to get a pizza company involved, but turning to offering a pizzeria directory service when there were no takers. Putting a "For Sale" sign on the site also attracted a large offer, which led to Clark deciding it was time to sell.
His auction site of choice was Sedo.com and a minimum selling price of US$2 million was set. When the auction finished the price had reached US$2.6 million with 10% of that going to Sedo.com in commission charges for the sale. The buyer remains anonymous.
Clark is going to use the money to fund his other venture Minestream Software.

Matthew's Opinion
If you could go back to 1994 which domains would you register? Sex.com and StockandFund.com would be my top choices seeing as they have earned someone US$22 million combined. You'd also do well with film.com, movies.com, music.com etc. etc. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
So is Pizza.com worth US$2.6 million? I'd say that it definitely is if used correctly. If an outfit like Pizza Hut has managed to get it they can start a big marketing campaign off the back of it and garner extra sales from the masses of people who already visit the domain. Other companies could start a new pizza business with it or earn money advertising and forwarding surfers on to buy pizza elsewhere. It's definitely a domain with a lot of opportunities.

Pantheon Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey ya'll, I go by Continentleman on Mobafire. This is my first legit guide. I love Pantheon, as we share the same heritage. Anyways, I've practiced this build a lot, and I hope you have the same results I do with Pantheon. I'm not the biggest fan of him on SR, but on Dom, built right, he's insane. I play him as an initial top fighter who's job it is to roam the map to push, defend, and assassinate as necessary.
Greater Mark of Lethality
Greater Seal of Scaling Armor
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist
Greater Quintessence of Lethality
Armor per level seals and MR per level glyphs are much better than flat ones in dominion, as you'll be leveling up quickly (obviously).
Skill Sequence
Heartseeker Strike is such a good spell in dominion. There will be a lot of team fights, so try to position yourself well to maximize the damage on HSS.
Use Aegis of Zeonia to initiate and interrupt certain abilities. Katarina's Death Lotus comes to mind. It's fun sometimes if an AD Sion decides to turret dive you with his ulti active. If you are both a relatively low health, wait until he pulls turret aggro and stun him. He will most likely be dead if you play your cards right.
Starting off with a Prospector's Blade and longsword provide you with a hefty amount of AD and health at level 3. Yes, you will be slow, but I usually burn ghost at the beginning to get to the speed buff so that I maximize my boosted speed time, which is more explained in the summoner spells chapter. If we cap top, I will stay until I have enough gold for my boots 2.
As a quick side note, check out the enemy team. If they have a lot of auto attackers or simply AD champs going top in the beginning, take a Cloth Armor in addition to your Prospector's Blade. This will help you survive that level 1 fight at windmill, and will help you get your Ninja Tabi more quickly.
Your boots depend heavily on your matchup. Ninja Tabi will be your bread and butter, as many champs you will face on dominion will either be auto attackers or bruisers. You don't need the ionian boots since you will already have enough CDR from your The Brutalizer/ Youmuu's Ghostblade, Frozen Heart, and masteries. You can pick up a pair of Mercury's Treadss if you are facing a fair amount champions dealing magic damage, and / or a lot of champions with stuns and other forms of CC.
Finish your The Brutalizer as soon as possible. It's a fantastic item for Pantheon, and shouldn't be looked over. Don't upgrade it to Youmuu's Ghostblade until you finish your Frozen Mallet.
I grab a Giant's Belt and Pickaxe after my The Brutalizer. I get the belt first for some more survivability, and then a Pickaxe for more damage in between finishing my bigger items. If I simply finished my Youmuu's Ghostblade or Last Whisper, I would be too squishy for my own good. You want to be able to hold positions and stay in the fight for as long as possible.
Now kids, don't forget to use your Youmuu's Ghostblade active! Using this in an important top fight will quickly turn the tide. You will be a damaging monster. If you get focused, that's ok. You will be tanky enough that you can still deal a fair amount of damage and give your teammates a chance to pummel some face.
With masteries and items you should be at 39% CDR! Frozen Heart will help your matchup versus auto attackers. The mana isn't that important, but the armor will help you eat up turret aggro if necessary. It's one of the main CDR items in this build.
Summoner Spells
Garrison works insanely well with Pantheon. If you see a small group of enemies attempting a turret capture, jump in there with your Grand Skyfall and see if they attack. If they do, pop Garrison then stun the one with turret aggro (or squishy) with Aegis of Zeonia. Proceed to kill the one you stunned and then move on to the other.
Ghost is a pretty standard dominion spell. I use it at the beginning to get to the speed buff on our side. Make your way top and proceed to fight. I use Ghost in these other situations:
When you need to...
- Chase down enemies
- Get to a capture point quickly when you either don't have Grand Skyfall up or know you will need Grand Skyfall in the very near future
- Escape
Other viable choices:
If you are playing draft pick and the enemies have a lot of auto attackers
Not as useful, but good for champions like Dr. Mundo who think they can turret dive and be OK with ulti.
All the others aren't that imporant... make sure to take ghost, kids!
Why Frozen Mallet over Entropy, and why not both?
Frozen Mallet will allow you to stick onto enemy champions much harder. It's a great health item overall and especially for dominion. It provides a small amount of AD, but you get your AD from other items. I also pick this over Entropy because the combination of health, ad, and ArPen from the Frozen Mallet / Last Whisper. Entropy's active is nice but you're an AD caster and won't be auto attacking that often.
I don't take both because they are simply too expensive. I would prefer to have Frozen Mallet and Infinity Edge as my expensive items. Last Whisper and Youmuu's Ghostblade are not too expensive and coordinate well with your other items.
Gameplay, Roaming, & how and when to effectively use Grand Skyfall
(Really quickly, one tip is to shoot off your E four times before the game starts in order to proc your passive :D )
Grand Skyfall is one of the best spells on dominion. I use it in many scenarios, like the following:
- Defend a capture point
- Help assault a capture point
- Backdoor a capture point
- Escape from a losing fight (make sure to use AFTER enemies have used abilities which could disrupt it)
- Chase down a fleeing troublesome enemy (don't do this often)
This spell can change the tide of a fight. If your teammates are losing a fight at top, jump in on top of them. They will either stay there, fight, and take the damage, or run away and suffer more damage from my team.
Using Garrison with Grand Skyfall- these work very well together. I already described this up in the summoner skill section, but the jist is that you ulti in on two or so enemies capping your point, pop Garrison if they try to fight you, and watch them die. It's fun.
The skill order in a fight goes Q > W > E > Q > E, and repeat. Make sure to use Aegis of Zeonia on enemies like Katarina when she pops Death Lotus. Use your stun on a pesky Sion when he pops his ultimate to focus him down and take him out of the fight. Using your Aegis of Zeonia on carries then bursting them down with Q, E, and auto attacks is your main role. Assassinate them.
Roaming Pantheon!
When playing Pantheon, I will usually stay top and base myself around it. Don't be the only one there in case you need to Grand Skyfall into a fight to take or defend a point! If you have an adequate number of people defending top point, you can roam. This means taking the healing pots on enemy sides, taking mid buff, and being in fights wherever you are needed. Pantheon's greatest strength is his ability to be where he needs to be, when he needs to be. Having the enemy not know where you are is quite scary, especially with tihs build!
Proof of Pantheon's power!
I did lose two of those games, but you can't win every one. Dominion requires good team work which some people tend to lack...
I also came in first in every game except one, but that was a rough game. Truly rough.
I know that you can easily throw the game to get high personal score, but there's no point in doing that. The best solution is to try your best and attempt to secure the win.
Thanks for viewing my guide, please rate, comment, and provide feedback! If you try out my build and like it, be sure to email me a picture of your match history success. I'll post it on the build! Thanks!
Hall of Glory!
Grats to Albo1125, a job well done! 5/6 victories is all that matters. Keep up the good work brother!

Threats to Blitzcrank with this build
|Dr. Mundo
|dr. masio isn't crucial to this setup, so after receiving the corpses from his dungeon, quickly dispose of ghost before his brother crab convinces you to duo with coel tanank.
|truth be told, garen is actually harmless, but to avoid tension between your team, blame it on kyle pozarski (grandma) playing demacia
vincent pierce, the legend
this man will ruin your life, that is why you must take all precautions against this menace. vincent will always ask for adc, and this is when you must take the bullet for your team and call blitz support in order to bait him into feeding you harder than soup kitch n on a sunday. if vincent successfully gets baited into feeding you kills, then your next course of action is to call upon your trusty jungler to cosplay support while you steal kills and buffs across the map. if for some reason you fail this step, afk until vincent finds the zweihander in the old iron keep, but if this is 2016 please buy dark souls 3 before asking gumbi the guzzler to cosplay the weeaboo role.
purchase options
when considering static shock or bioshock infinity, please consider that vincent may actually be playing bazir mid. in the case that your adc is actually a decent person, you must quickly rush another red sightstone and precisely aim q e until your lane opponents pull an amanda todd for a free double kill. if all goes wrong please consider asking james to help, and blindfold yourself for the ultimate no-scopening.

Breitbart News has discovered previously unknown handwritten notes from Elena Kagan to radical professor Derrick Bell, sent to Bell as Kagan worked on his seminal 1985 article on Critical Race Theory in the Harvard Law Review (99 Harv. L. Rev. 4).
The notes, which were not among materials presented to the Senate during Justice Kagan's confirmation hearings, are preserved among Bell's papers at the New York University archives.
Advertisement - story continues below
Kagan's work on Bell's article was revealed in 2010 by Harvard Law School professor Charles Ogletree, after President Barack Obama nominated her to the Supreme Court. Ogletree cited her "phenomenal edits" on Bell's "classic" article.
Bell's article, "The Civil Rights Chronicles," combined exposition and fiction to argue that the Constitution was–and remains–tainted by white supremacy, and that the United States awaited "a common crisis that will overcome racism" through radical constitutional reform.

Unlike then-Harvard Law Review president Carol Steiker, who corresponded with Bell via typed letter (apparently on a 1980s-vintage dot matrix printer), Kagan chose to write to Bell exclusively on yellow notepad paper. She did not explain her choice to write by hand, save to suggest in one note on Aug. 30, 1985 that she was pressed for time.

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen: CT, MR, PET, and 99mTc-sulfur colloid SPECT CT findings with gross and histopathological correlation
- 1.4k Downloads
- Citations
Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a benign, proliferative vascular lesion affecting the spleen. Few reports detailing the cross sectional and PET appearance of this lesion are available, and the lesion's behavior with 99mTc-sulfur colloid scintigraphy is previously unreported. Sclerosing nodular transformation of the spleen shows increased tracer accumulation on positron emission tomography, and a central scar-like appearance with an enhancing capsule and radiating septae on CT and MR studies that reflects the gross and histopathological features of the lesion may be visible. An understanding of this pathological finding may allow prospective recognition of the sclerosing nodular transformation of the spleen on cross sectional imaging studies.

Splenic lesions are commonly incidentally encountered during abdominal cross sectional imaging studies. The majority of such lesions are benign. Occasionally solid, vascular splenic lesions may be identified and can prove difficult to characterize with non-invasive imaging. Awareness of the imaging appearance and differential diagnosis of rare vascular splenic lesions, and, in particular, recognition of certain imaging features that may suggest a specific diagnosis for these uncommon lesions, may facilitate proper patient management.
Report of case
The incidental detection of a splenic lesion is not an uncommon clinical occurrence, and differentiation of indolent from aggressive splenic lesions on imaging studies can occasionally be difficult. Fortunately, most cystic and solid lesions within the spleen in patients without known primary malignancy are benign, and neoplasms within the spleen are less common than benign processes and are often encountered in a known clinical context, commonly patients with lymphoma or metastatic disease.
Vascular splenic lesions include both benign and malignant etiologies, but most of these lesions are non-hematolymphoid tumors [2]. Non-hematolymphoid tumors arise from the red pulp of the spleen and include hemangiomas, hamartomas, lymphangiomas, and SANT [2]. Vascular splenic lesions with variable biological behavior include littoral cell angioma, hemangioendothelioma, and hemangiopericytoma, whereas angiosarcoma is a primary, frankly malignant, vascular splenic neoplasm [2].
SANT of the spleen is a recently recognized, rare, benign vascular splenic neoplasm of uncertain etiology, first described in 2004 as a distinct, non-neoplastic vascular splenic lesion by Martel et al. [3]. Prior to 2004, isolated reports of splenic SANT were described under various other terms, including splenic hamartomas, multinodular hemangiomas, cord-capillary hemangioma, or splenic hemangioendotheliomas [4].
Clinical, pathological, and histopathological features of splenic SANT
Only a few reports have detailed the clinicopathological aspects of splenic SANT [3, 4, 5, 6]. The few reports detailing this lesion suggest that splenic SANT is most commonly encountered in middle-aged adults, with a mean age of presentation approximating 50 years [4, 7], although a fairly wide age range for presentation of 22–74 years has been noted [4]. A female preponderance of cases is described, with a female-to-male ratio of 2:1 suggested in several sources [4, 7]. Most reports indicate that splenic SANT is clinically silent and is detected incidentally, usually during laparotomy or imaging studies for unrelated reasons.
At gross inspection, patients with splenic SANT often have a normal-sized or mildly enlarged spleen. The lesion itself usually appears as solitary, unencapsulated but circumscribed mass consisting of red or brown nodules of variable size. The histopathological and immunohistochemical findings of splenic SANT have been the subject of several reports [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]. At low-power examination, splenic SANT is composed of multiple, variably sized, circumscribed and confluent angiomatoid nodules within a fibrosclerotic stroma containing hemosiderin-laden macrophages, myofibroblasts, lymphocytes, and plasma cells [4]. The nodules have a slit-like, vascular morphology lined with endothelial cells, pericytes, and red blood cells. Minimal cellular atypia may be present within splenic SANT nodules but mitotic figures are rare. Immunohistochemical analysis of splenic SANT shows staining with various markers for splenic sinusoidal lining cells, capillary-like, and venule-like elements [4], including CD34, CD21, and CD8. CD68 staining is also typical in splenic SANT, whereas CD21 staining is characteristically absent.

Predominantly ↓ T1 and T2 signal with small central foci of ↑ T1 and T2 signal. Iso- to mildly hypointense on unenhanced images and arterial and portal venous phase images with peripheral and septal enhancement. Delayed imaging is isointense to spleen, with persistent hypointense stellate center. Opposed-phase imaging may show presence of iron
↑ uptake
The presence of signal changes on MR imaging suggesting the presence of iron initially supported the impression of extramedullary hematopoiesis as the etiology of the splenic lesion in this patient. However, iron deposition may occur in a number of conditions unrelated to extramedullary hematopoiesis, and it is likely that the hemorrhagic nature of splenic SANT accounts for this MR imaging appearance.
Only one prior published report of the FDG-PET behavior of splenic SANT is known [13]. These authors [13] indicated that splenic SANT shows hypermetabolic activity on FDG-PET, simulating neoplasm; our lesion showed similar behavior. The abundance of cells, including hemosiderin-laden macrophages, myofibroblasts, lymphocytes, and plasma cells, may account for splenic SANT's FDG avidity.
The 99mTc-sulfur colloid SPECT CT imaging findings of splenic SANT have not been previously reported. The absence of reticuloendothelial cells within the SANT lesion accounts for the lack of uptake of 99mTc-sulfur colloid.
Diagnosis of splenic SANT
Most published reports of SANT of the spleen have established the diagnosis following splenectomy, although one investigation has shown that the diagnosis of SANT may be made with percutaneous core biopsy [11]. Nevertheless, percutaneous biopsy of the spleen must be undertaken with caution as a higher frequency of complication is noted with percutaneous biopsy of vascular splenic lesions [15]. The gross pathological and radiological correlation of splenic SANT in this report as well as the published descriptions of the cross-sectional imaging findings of splenic SANT [7, 11, 12, 13] suggest that the diagnosis of SANT of the spleen may be specifically offered when contrast-enhanced CT or MR shows a centrally hypovascular lesion with peripheral enhancement progressively extending toward the center of the lesion through septae on delayed imaging- the so-called "spoke-wheel" appearance [11, 12]. However, it is likely that when a vascular splenic lesion is encountered, particularly when large and bulging the capsular surface of the spleen, concerns for malignancy and the potential for splenic rupture will render splenectomy the primary means by which splenic SANT will be diagnosed and treated.
SANT of the spleen is a recently described, non-neoplastic benign vascular lesion. Few cross-sectional imaging reports have detailed the radiological appearance of SANT of the spleen, but the literature suggests that a variably sized lesion, often large, with peripheral enhancement that progressively fills in toward the center of the lesion through radiating septae is a typical appearance on enhanced ultrasound, CT, and MR studies. Possibly due to the presence of various inflammatory cells within the lesion, FDG avidity is expected on FDG-PET studies of SANT of the spleen, whereas, due to the absence of reticuloendothelial elements, absence of 99mTc-sulfur colloid uptake is observed. The diagnosis of SANT of the spleen may be established by percutaneous biopsy, but, due to the potential for an increased rate of complications when vascular lesions of the spleen undergo percutaneous biopsy and concerns regarding the possibility of spontaneous rupture of a large vascular splenic lesion, splenectomy will likely be the means by which SANT of the spleen is diagnosed and managed.

CRI has several HIV and hepatitis C (HCV) clinical trials in progress at any one time at our Boston research facility. Clinical research helps find better ways to fight drug resistance and lower the possible harm from side effects. It also helps people stay on their drugs for as long as they need them and improves the simplicity of drug regimens so people can take fewer pills. Research improves the quality of HIV and HCV patient care on a global scale.
About clinical research trials
Clinical trials are supervised, scientific studies of new drugs to determine if they are safe and effective. These trials are the fastest and best way to find new treatments that might improve people's health, and there are many safeguards in place to protect the rights and safety of people who volunteer to participate. To learn more about clinical research, click here.
Ongoing clinical trials at CRI's research facility in Boston
Switch 4030 – Ongoing; no longer enrolling
This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind study evaluating the safety and efficacy of switching from a regimen of Dolutegravir plus either Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (Descovy) or Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (Truvada) to an investigational fixed-dose combination (FDC) of Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive the investigational HIV medication regimen Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide or the approved medicines Dolutegravir and Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (Descovy). Each subject will take a total of three pills once daily.
Integrase STR – Ongoing; no longer enrolling
The Integrase STR study is evaluating how safe and effective an experimental once-daily medication is in treating HIV. The Integrase STR study is designed for people who are at least 18 years old, HIV-positive, and have never been on treatment. Participants are randomized to take a fixed dose combination of either the experimental HIV regimen (GS-9883/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide or GS-9883/F/TAF) or the approved medicines dolutegravir + emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (DTG + F/TAF). The study measures the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of the GS-9883/F/TAF regimen compared to the DTG + F/TAF regimen.
Emerald – Ongoing; no longer enrolling
The Emerald study is comparing the efficacy, safety and tolerability of an experimental once-daily single-tablet treatment for HIV. The Emerald study is designed for people who are at least 18 years old, HIV-positive, and currently virologically suppressed on an antiretroviral regimen consisting of a boosted protease inhibitor combined with FTC/TDF (Truvada). Participants are randomized to stay on their current regimen, or switch to the experimental regimen (darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide or D/C/F/TAF).
Complera Switch – Ongoing; no longer enrolling
The Complera Switch study is examining the safety and effectiveness of an investigational single-tablet combination that contains three HIV medicines. This study is designed for adults who are HIV-positive and virologically suppressed on the single-tablet regimen FTC/RPV/TDF (Complera). Participants will be randomized to stay on Complera or switch to an investigational single-tablet regimen that contains the pro-drug tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) instead of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a component of Complera.
START – Ongoing; no longer enrolling
The START (Strategic Timing of Antiretroviral Treatment) study will answer the question, "When should I start taking HIV medication?" Currently guidelines are not consistent as to when the best time to start treatment would be. Some practice guidelines state that it is okay to begin medication when a person's CD4 count reaches 350, while others suggest offering treatment immediately no matter how high the CD4 count is at the time of diagnosis. START is a large, definitive study to determine whether individuals should begin treatment with high CD4 counts (above 500) or whether it is better to wait to start for a CD4 count of around 350.
For more information about clinical trials at CRI, call 617.502.1700.

Mega news - Mega motor is a bright spark - 2006
Commercial vehicles don't get us too excited as a rule, but the oh-so cutesy Mega is an exception.
The tiny-tot commercial also appeals because it's exempt from the London Congestion Charge and you can park free of charge in parts of the capital that normally require a second mortgage to feed a meter.
The Mega gets around the Congestion Charge if you opt for the electrically powered model, which starts at £9,500 plus VAT.
A range of 60 miles continuous driving limits the Mega to town work, but the manufacturer says the car will hold a charge for a full day's work driving around a city.
There are also 400cc and 479cc diesel engines available.
Find out more from www.goingreen.co.uk, which sells the French-built Mega directly through its website.

Americans are the envy of the world even though we can still point to a thousand and one things that are wrong with the country. There's no denying the fact that we have a massive national debt burden, homelessness, unemployment, and that social services are under a strain. Yet, the fact remains that we still have it better than most of the world in broad terms.
However, many outsiders would be surprised to find out that their idea of wealthy Americans only shows their perspective about our corporate wealth and it doesn't necessarily reflect the state of our individual finances. In fact, a recent survey showed that about seven out of 10 Americans (69%) had less than $1,000 in their savings account. This article provides insight into two major reasons our personal wealth doesn't live up to the expectations of our collective wealth.
One of the main reasons most Americans have a poor handling of money is that they don't set SMART financial goals. Your financial goals must be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-Based. Any deviation from the core principles of SMART financial goals raises the odds that you'll fall short of meeting your target.
To start with, your finances can't be healthy unless your income is more than your expenses. Hence, you'll need to take proactive action to increase your income or reduce your expenses in order to stay smart in your finances. You might decide to reduce your expenses by $100 every month or increase your side income by $50 week by taking on a side gig.
Setting SMART financial goals is also applicable to getting loans and getting out of debt. For instance, if you have a poor credit score, you'll be better off looking for loans with bad credit instead of wasting time and resources chasing lenders who only cater to people with excellent credit. More so, if you develop a strategy for making automatic withdrawals to repay your loans, you won't have to worry about bad debt.
Setting SMART goals could also help you get out of the rat race and build a life of financial prosperity. Buying a lottery ticket every week is not a SMART strategy and neither is hoping that your father's granduncle from his mother's side will leave you a $10M inheritance. You'll need to take stock of your current financial position, decide on where you want to be financially, and start taking small measurable steps everyday to get there.
People assume that financial advisors will act in the client's best interest
A report by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA) reveals that 51% of respondents in a survey felt they don't have the money to seek the services of a financial advisor. Yet, many more people hire the services of financial advisors and they are not much better off financially. Irrespective of whether you think you need the services of a financial advisor or not, an understanding of the Fiduciary rule can help you know if the financial advisor is acting in your best interests.
The U.S. Department of Labor developed the Fiduciary Rule to ensure that people who provide financial and investment advice act in the best interest of the client. The fiduciary rule, which will go effect in April, requires the financial advisor to act in a trustworthy manner to reveal any conflict of interest and ensure that they act ethically in your best interests instead of chasing sales targets or commissions.
However, not all financial advisors are under a legal obligation to act within the ambits of the fiduciary rule. Hence, you should ask your financial advisor if they'd be acting as a fiduciary 100% of the time. You should also be careful if they ask you to sign a "best interest contract exemption" (BICE) contract that allows them to sell you products that are not necessarily in your best interests.

The oldest award for electronic media, the Peabody recognizes "distinguished achievement and meritorious service by broadcasters, cable and Webcasters." In 2011, GlobalPost published 75 "On Location" videos reported from 34 different countries. Of those 75 reports, 9 videos were submitted as examples of what the series does each week: engage the audience with distinctive reporting on the economy, politics and culture in places most people will never visit. The videos considered by the Peabody Board are available to view here.
"This is an extraordinary achievement considering we are a young news organization," said GlobalPost Editor Thomas Mucha. "Our correspondents in the field have done an amazing job on this video series, giving viewers a close-up look at stories that would most likely go untold by other media. 'On Location' is unique and ambitious, employing the highest standards of professional video production with an authenticity and grit that is palpable. We couldn't be more excited to have won the Peabody in our third year."
First presented in 1941, the Peabody awards program is administered by the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia. In announcing the awards Horace Newcomb, director of the Peabody Awards, said being a Peabody recipient is a "designation often considered the most significant award in the media industries."

Son wants to join Navy, question regarding contacts
My 17yo son is a senior in HS. He wants to graduates and leave for Naval boot camp.
But his mom is a devout Jehovah Witness. They are anti joining military. So she won't sign. My son will turn 18 this February. The recruiter said it is better opportunities for the HS seniors. Anyone 18 and older has more competition for the technical schools. My question is can my son have a contract where he joins and gets to go to the school of his choice. If not, he can get out?
Son wants to join Navy, question regarding contacts
First, do the test at the recruiters office, it's a mini asvab. Then he can get an idea what he qualifies for. He cannot go to MEPS absent parents signature if under 18, if he goes to MEPS that is where they will do the offer of actual jobs available and he qualifies for. They will pressure him to sign for 'something' while there and say they can change it later, I told my sons recruiter that if MEPS doesn't offer what he wants he don't be signing anything, they tried to say well if he don't sign there's no guarantee blah blah blah, I told them well unless you want to make a second trip with him you better be talking to your contacts up there before he goes and have them hold his preference for him, the head recruiter called me later and said all set. my son got exactly what he wanted when he went to MEPS
The recruiter knew once I talked to him and the head guy that my son would not be pressured in to anything

Absolutely DO NOT buy the 'he can get a school once he gets to the fleet' line from the recruiter. If he gets in without a GUARANTEED school he'll be sent to the fleet as a non designated airman/fireman/seaman and treated like an absolute dog (I saw what they did to non designated airmen on a carrier, they end up getting worked to death on the flight deck [cat crews, recovery teams, etc). Sometimes they will 'group' schools together (in my case it was aviation electronics [AT, AQ, AX, AE, TD {yes it WAS a long time ago}) and I went to AE school out of boot camp. But if he fails out of the school he'll be sent to the fleet as a non designated airman/fireman/seaman so you GOTTA study, no time to play then, there will be plenty of time for that later. So, no school IN THE CONTRACT (yes it will be CLEARLY spelled out in the contract) no sign. (I was an Aviation Electrician 1976-1982 working in AIMD [Aviation Intermediate Maint.] on E-2's, A-6's, EA-6B's at NAS Miramar and the USS Independence] Oh yeah, they were going to do that 'once you get to the fleet nonsense but I came to my senses during the ride to the induction center, boy was the recruiter mad...best thing I ever did [related to the military]...
Tell him to go Coast Guard. Life is much better. Save lives, please Navy wives, do law enforcement, anti terrorism, counter drug/piracy/smuggling. It's a much more relaxed culture. You are family instead of just another worker bee.
Spoken from experience.
The Coast Guard is much harder to get into than the Navy, and for good reason.
CG recruiters have quotas just like Navy recruiters, but the quota works differently. The Navy guy has to bring in at least as many recruits as his quota requires. The CG recruiter is limited by his quota. For that reason don't expect the CG recruiter to shower you with interest. It ain't gonna happen. You've got to convince the recruiter that you're worth their time.
I'm not going to go so far as to say that Navy recruiters actively lie, but they have been known to present a plethora of "alternative facts."
Life in any service (including the CG) as a non-rate is a "bottom of the food chain" experience. It's an apprenticeship like any other. Once you earn a rating, you're one step off the bottom. A guaranteed "A" school is the fastest way to get there. The down side is that you've got to be sure of your choice. Lateral changes in rating are difficult.
My advice:
1) If you know what rating you want - Get the guaranteed "A" school.
2) If you don't know what rating you want, and are serious about joining - Then join, do your messcook duty and use the time to wisely choose your rating.
3) If you don't know what rating you want, and are just considering joining - Don't sign anything until you figure it out.
What is really needed here is less "Tactical" thinking and more "Strategic" thinking.
If he's not super set on the Navy, I'd also have him look at the Coast Guard. I was a Gunner's Mate in the Navy and aside from being and EOD armorer for a while, life on the ship was mostly boring and we were constantly underway. Out of my 4 years in, I think I ended up doing a cumulative 3 years out at sea. If I had to do it over, I probably would've gone CG, especially with their Maritime Law Enforcement rate.

My advice is also the coast guard. Spent 8 years and it is a much different experience. I deployed on navy vessels and it is very different. Iam now a noon electrician so if he wants to join the trades i that should be supported for his mother's sake.
Not sure about Navy reserves and how much training he will get as a reservist. A friend of a friend was telling me how he went to boot camp, received training, and did the once a month/two weeks a year commitment. I think they helped him with school costs. He got a taste of military life, received training and earned some money - without a an active four year commitment.

Last year, thousands of lives were impacted by the wrath of Hurricane Katrina.
Residents from all areas of southeast Louisiana shared in the devastation. However, each persons account of what happened is detailed by their own emotions, even those stories told by the men and women whose job it is to stand first in the most difficult of times. One of those people is Cpt. Patrick Yoes of the St. Charles Parish Sheriffs Office.
Yoes, who oversees the Special Services Division for the St. Charles Parish Sheriffs Office, shares with the world his experiences in his new book, Chest Deep and Rising: The Hurricane Katrina Nightmare.
This story conveys a moment when the future seemed out of reach, and out of control. It was a time when our world collapsed all around us. It was a time of ever-changing challenges, unspeakable horrors, and survival. Equally important, it was a time of bravery, heroic acts, and selfless devotion by Americas first responders, said Yoes.
According to Yoes web site, this memoir captures the before, during and after effects of Hurricane Katrina, and details the 16 grueling days after the storm when first responders were discovering the horrific results of the hurricane.
After the hurricane hit, Yoes worked with the Fraternal Order of Police in an effort to assist those officers who were directly placed in the middle of the devastation, and his book zeroes in on the failures of emergency prepardness and provides suggestions as to what needs to be done in the future.
According to Yoes, he decided to write the book after receiving a detailed personal account of the hurricane from a friend.
Yoes, who has been employed by the sheriff's office since 1984, said he wrote the book in order to recall his own experiences and involvement with emergency services and recovery efforts, and to urge others to share their stories.
A portion of the proceeds will go to the Fraternal Order of Police Charitable Organization, the Annual National Peace Offices Memorial Service in Washington D.C. and the FOP Disaster Relief Fund.
The book costs $22 plus shipping and handling, and can be purchased online at www.patrickyoes.com.

Why do you need to make a program to do this. Just block the IP address of the site in your Firewall. Some firewalls will access a file for a list of IP address to block and you could access that file to write addresses into it with a VB program but you will need to talk to your Firewall software company on the details of doing this.
Sorry I could not help but there are lots of firewall softwares out there and there is no way of knowing wich one you are using.

A spokesman for Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), the bill's sponsor, said he is hoping for floor consideration before the start of summer.
Republicans assign the bill, H.R. 3, a high priority in large part because they see it as a way of correcting last year's healthcare law, which Republicans say includes no language to prevent federal funding of abortion. During the Judiciary markup, committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said President Obama agreed to sign an executive order that he said limits federal funding, rather than face an amendment that might have complicated the healthcare bill.
"But an executive order cannot trump the text of legislation enacted by Congress," Smith said. Smith also noted recent comments from former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who said the executive order does not have the force of law, and that he came up with the idea for an executive order as a way of avoiding statutory language.
"So Congress must pass H.R. 3 to put into law a ban on the federal funding of abortions," Smith concluded.
The bill would prohibit the use of federal funds for abortion, bar funding of any health coverage plan that covers abortion and proscribe the inclusion of abortion in any health plan offered by a federal or District of Columbia healthcare group.
In the markup earlier this month, Smith said the bill "does not ban abortion," but sets up a "government-wide prohibition on abortion funding," and said recent poll data shows that 77 percent of Americans said federal funds "should never pay for abortion."
Democrats, in the meantime, have argued that while Republicans claim they are trying to remove taxpayer money from abortion decisions, the bill would make it much harder to find health coverage that pays for abortion services.
"All the rhetoric about public funding is a smokescreen," Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said in the markup. "The real purpose and effect of the bill is to make it virtually impossible to buy private healthcare insurance that covers abortions with private money, to drive those policies out of the private market."

Journal article
Radio frequency penetration depth in HTSC ceramic samples
The authors present measurements of the temperature dependence of the RF penetration depth δ(T) in YBa2Cu3O6.9 and BiSrCaCu2Ox ceramics. They found that δ(T) closely follows the Gorter-Casimir two-fluid model at T<Tc, but with an unusually high value of δ(0)=(1.5-10)·105 Å, which is at least two orders of magnitude higher than reported for the London penetration depth in the HTSC. A large absorption peak in RF losses was observed at Tc and for ω<10 MHz which disappears at higher frequencies. These effects are most likely caused by weakly coupled superconducting loops within ceramic HTSC

She wasn't even one of the people who cleans my bathroom. In fact, I met her in a library (surprise!). Ultimately, our relationship was doomed (me being a capricorn and her being insanely tardy all the fucking time, I had to fire her ass), but as it ended I was shocked to discover that I'd developed some feelings for her. I was unprepared for the fact that her being black didn't get in the way of me really liking her. Thus, as we parted, I was forced to reevaluate my world view: if a white man like me could have feelings for a black girl like her, what other interracial coupling experiments might I one day be a part of and might I have to accept among other couples? What I learned was that just because someone is black (or hispanic, or Chinese, or Protestant) doesn't mean he or she is less lovable. It was a hard reality to face, but it's one I've adjusted to.
It's with that lesson in mind that I've watched the actions of the Senate these past few days. As they debate the issue of whether or not English should be our national language, I realize that what they're actually debating is whether or not someone who doesn't speak English is less American than someone who does. Six months ago I would have said, "Yes! If you can't speak English, you can't be my neighbor!" But now that I am wiser, I understand this is wrong. If a black person is not less lovable, then a non-English speaker is not less American. It's the only conclusion that follows logically.
However, if you are still unpersuaded, consider this: If speaking English equals being American, then we have to determine when it is that someone becomes an English speaker. Is it when he learns his first English word? Is it when he can order a ham sandwich at the deli? Is it when he scores a 650 or better on the SAT? This is important because most of the employees at the local Chinese buffet have English skills on par with the average second grader. If their English isn't good enough to make them Americans, then we also must accept that our children aren't Americans either. Further, Americans in general have poor English skills, and if being able to speak English determines one's Americanness, then it only follows that the quality of one's English determines the quality of one's Americanness. In other words, your ability to correctly use a semicolon is a direct reflection of how much you love your country. Up front, this might not seem like a terrible thing -- it just means that most people love their country an "average" amount. But look a little deeper and you'll uncover a horrible truth: that the most American people in the world are... (get ready!)... the British. Now that's irony.
And it's shameful. Shouldn't we be judging our citizens by more important standards? Like whether or not they drink domestic beer, or attend PTA meetings, or (here's a crazy idea) get out and vote.
Let's not wait until we're back to saluting the Queen before we realize this is an idea that's gone tits up.
