Consumer Reviews
"Bought a new 2011 RX450H which was our 3rd Lexus SUV purchase. We have a 2006 RX330 also and decided to go with the Hybrid for my wife and I took over the 2006. Both are loaded models but the new RX450H is so much nicer, the voice command, the mouse control, and the ride is great. The mileage is alot better that the RX330, I've gotten as high as 32MPG on a trip. Also the way the dealership traets you it can't be beat!"
I would recommend this car to a friend: Yes
Primary use for this car: Commuting
"Hove only taken one relative short road trip, but impressed by highway mileage (31.8 mpg indicated). However, I am not getting better mileage in "town" than on the highway as advertised (~28 mpg)."

Primary use for this car: Just getting around
"We got this car 3 months ago. When we bought it we were contiplating between MB ML350, Infinit JX and the Lexus RX. I test drove the ML350 (Excellent car) & the JX (Loved it) the Lexus my wife test drove and said it was ok. We chose the Lexus over the others because we were offered by the dealer the hybrid model at the same price of none hybrid. Since by far it is doing better MPG than the others we took it. After 3 months I can only discribe it as A huge disappointment. I'm a tall guy and the drive seats just doesn't go low enough. Although I have enough legroom it never feels 100%. The car doesn't fit 5 adults comfortably and on long drives even with 4 people everybody come out beaten. The navigation is pretty good so is the sound system. The lack of radio memory buttons is a pain when you need to use the mouse to change between saved stations while driving. The auto wipers are ok but sometimes will start working for no reason or will not start when needed and they need a little tweak to be remaineded to do so. Overall I had great expectations from the car I thought I will leave to love it and will enjoy it more over time. Unfortunately, the opposit is happening and me and my wife getting more annoyed with everyday that we have to drive it."

"I bought my 2012 Nebula Grey Pearl RX 450h about six months ago. I traded off a RX400h and upgraded. The 450 is nice, it is smooth, quick and responsive. The optional high tech 'mouse' for the navigation is awesome, you feel right at home using the 'computer-like' nav, climate control and audio with the Lexus Enform system. The mileage is great too... not amazing but decent, I get about 29 mpg on a mix of city and highway. I love this SUV!"

Primary use for this car: Work
"I bought my Cerulean Blue AWD 450h in July 2011. My only dissatisfaction is that I am averaging only about 25 mpg. We live on very hilly area so I am not able to get the 28-29 MPG as advertised. But compare to my neighbors with X5 or M-Class, 25 MPG is outstanding. The interior is amazing, and I love the quietness of driving this car. Everything seems to have a very nice touch. For my next car, definitely another Lexus hybrid."

Primary use for this car: Transporting family
"Traded 2011 RX350 for 2012 RX450H - Very pleased with the performance and fuel economy - Went from an average of 17- 21 MPG to an average of 25 - 28 MPG - Hybrid Ride is smoother than non hybrid - probably due to the Hybrid being heavier with it's batteries and recharging system. My wife is the primary driver and she's a happy camper with this SUV."

text: A 28-year-old Opotiki man is facing a serious charge under the Fisheries Act after being found with more than 50 times the legal limit of paua. Police found the man, who is suspected of being involved in the black market distribution of paua, in Auckland late at night, with 511 shucked paua. Members of the public are allowed to take or possess a maximum of 10 paua per day. According to Ministry of Fisheries Waikato/Bay of Plenty Field Operations Manager, Brendon Mikkelsen, the illegal paua is alleged to have been taken from the top of the Coromandel Peninsula area. "Given the quantities involved and where and when it was seized, it seems certain that these paua were plundered from the Coromandel especially for sale on the black market in Auckland," Mr Mikkelsen said. Following the man's apprehension in Auckland, houses in South Auckland, Opotiki and the Coromandel Peninsula's Kennedy Bay were searched. The vehicle used to transport the paua from the Coromandel Peninsula to Auckland was seized and may be ordered forfeit to the Crown. Brendon Mikkelsen said the man is now facing a serious black market charge under the Fisheries Act. "If convicted, he could face imprisonment, fines of up to $250,000 and the permanent forfeiture of any property used in the commission of the offence, such as the vehicle that has already been seized," he said. "The poaching of our precious paua resource is a serious matter for both the Ministry and for the communities where this plunder occurs. "These poachers are literally stealing from these communities and from our future generations." Brendon Mikkelsen urges anyone who sees illegal fishing activity to call the Ministry's popular 0800 4 POACHER number (0800 476 224). "We all need to work together to protect our fishing resources for now and into the future," he said.

Good health is necessary for academic success. Like adults at work, students at school have difficulty being successful if they are depressed, tired, being bullied, stressed, sick, using alcohol or other drugs, hungry, or abused.
School Health Advisory Councils
District-level School Health Advisory Councils are required by the NC State
Board of Education.
To be effective, coordinated school health programs must be directed toward the needs of students, responsive to the needs of families, and reflective of the values of the local community. All components of school health must be linked to each other and supportive of each other.
Some school districts employ a coordinator who works to optimize the connections between the eight separate component areas to prevent duplication and to seek additional resources. Coordinating school health efforts is an efficient way to identify and meet student health needs and increase quality class time.
Tobacco Free Schools
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. The
majority of daily smokers (82%) began smoking before 18 years of age, and more
than 3,000 young people begin smoking each day.
School-based programs to prevent tobacco use can make a substantial contribution to the health of the next generation. School districts across the state are becoming 100% tobacco free, prohibiting the use of tobacco by students, staff and visitors on campus and at campus events.
Nutrition Standards
Research shows that there is a direct link between good nutrition and the
ability to learn, play, grow and develop. Well-nourished children have higher
test scores, better school attendance and fewer behavioral problems.
The school nutrition environment integrates an attractive meals program with nutrition education and an atmosphere that promotes healthy eating for lifelong benefits. Ensuring that schools offer nutritious, appealing choices whenever and wherever food and beverages are available on campus is an important policy objective.
Active Children Policy
The NC State Board of Education recommends that all elementary
schools should consider the benefits of having students receive 150 minutes of
physical activity per week and middle school students receive 225 minutes per
week. This State Board policy also protects recess by stating that, "structured
recess and other physical activity will not be taken away as a form of
Research demonstrates that physical education instruction can increase students' knowledge, physical activity and physical fitness. Daily physical education from kindergarten through 12th grade is recommended by the American Heart Association and the National Association for Sport and Physical Education and is also a national health objective. Most North Carolina students do not receive daily physical education.
Participation in physical education may mean less time for other academic subjects due to strained school schedules, yet studies indicate that schools that offered physical education did not experience a harmful effect on standardized test scores, even though less time was available for other academic subjects.
HIV Prevention and the Curriculum
Schools containing grades 6-12 should allocate sufficient personnel time and
resources to assure that policies and programs are developed and implemented
with appropriate community involvement, curricula are well-planned and
sequential, teachers are well-trained, and up-to-date teaching methods and
materials about AIDS are available. In addition, it is crucial that sufficient
classroom time be provided at each grade level to assure that students acquire
essential knowledge appropriate for that grade level, and have time to ask
questions and discuss issues raised by the information presented.

Illinois hires 135 new correctional officers
SPRINGFIELD (AP) — The Illinois Department of Corrections has hired 135 new correctional officers after the cadets completed six weeks of training.
Department spokeswoman Stacey Solano tells Lee Enterprises newspapers in Illinois (http://bit.ly/QVuIsz ) that the new officers will replace some of the 206 employees who've left the job during the current fiscal year.
Solano says the number of guards leaving is down from the same point last year, when 343 had left.

The Joint Commission, the organization that accredits all of the hospitals in America completed its survey at BIDMC and has issued its report. The Joint Commission surveyors spent several days in intense review of BIDMC's physical facilities, information systems, and -- most importantly -- our actual delivery of care to patients. As is the current practice, this was an unannounced visit by the Joint Commission, with the surveyors showing up on a Monday morning with just a few hours notice. The people who came were excellent, thoughtful, and comprehensive. There were six surveyors who spent a total of 24 surveyor-days with us. In all, they talked with almost 300 of our staff members and visited 49 unique sites on and off campus. The surveyors found some things that needed improvement, but they also had many compliments for the hospital in general and for many of our staff in particular. Consistent with BIDMC's practice and commitment to transparency, we have posted the Joint Commission's Accreditation Survey Report here on our website.

Living & Learning Communities
WLLC students work together to rearrange classmates along a log during the fall retreat to Cal-Wood.
The Wellness LLC is an engaged community that fosters balanced living through academic and personal journeys of wellness. In the Wellness LLC, students work to cultivate and maintain a healthful lifestyle as it applies to self, spirituality and community. In this LLC, students become more aware of their strengths and challenges in the dimensions of wellness such as spirituality, fitness and physical health, community wellness, emotional wellness and mental wellbeing. With the support of the community, students thrive in the Wellness LLC and create lasting friendships.
The community is developed and nurtured through experiential programming, community engagement, and regular interaction with students, staff and faculty. As a member of the community, you will enjoy retreats, community projects, and wellness workshops in addition to your academic class in Wellness. For students with a strong desire to take their studies in Wellness to the next step, we offer an academic minor in Wellness. The LLC courses are the foundation for the minor.
Community Profile
- Number of Partipants
28 - Residence Hall
Centennial Halls - Academics
Three 2-credit courses, with optional minor in Wellness
Student Profile: Rebecca Matsko
Why did you join the Wellness LLC?
I joined the wellness LLC because I think that it is very important to learn about being well, and to try and exercise the practices of being well all throughout your life.
What is the best part of being in an LLC?
The best part about living in an LLC is the companionship, all of the people you live with you become close friends with and it helps a lot the first few weeks of college.

Welcome | Office of Disability Services (ODS)
The Office of Disability Services at Fordham University helps to ensure equal educational access and opportunity for all members of our community. In the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis, members of the ODS staff work individually with each student to understand his or her strengths and limitations in order to develop their most effective and comprehensive accommodation plan.
In addition to working in a direct service capacity with our students, the Office of Disability Services also collaborates with administrators, faculty, and staff to ensure that the facilitation of reasonable and appropriate accommodations for students with documented disabilities is provided. As a University, Fordham will offer reasonable and appropriate auxiliary aids and services to assist otherwise qualified persons in achieving access to its programs, services, and facilities once documentation is submitted to ODS and an intake appointment is conducted to develop an accommodation plan directly with the student in accordance with Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
We believe that our policies and mission carry out the intent of Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act, which states:
"No otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States, as defined in section 7(20), shall solely by reason of his or her disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
Please contact us for documentation guidelines according to type of disability.
Our Transition Year Program for incoming freshmen with disabilities will continue during Spring 2013! There is limited space still available for additional freshmen in Spring 2013, so if you are interested in signing up please contact Carolyn Mooney at firstname.lastname@example.com as soon as possible.
Stay tuned for information on Disability Awareness Events to be scheduled during Spring 2013!
OFFICE HOURS | spring
Rose Hill: Monday - Friday: 9am-5pm
Lincoln Center: Monday: 2:30 - 5:30pM; Tuesday: 12:30 - 5:30PM; Wednesday: 8:30am - 4:30pm; Thursday: 9:00am - 5:oopm; Friday: 9:00am - 12:00PM*
Proctoring appointments for Test Proctoring can be arranged at LC at other times by turning in your test proctoring form 10 days ahead of time to allow ODS time to hire proctors. If no proctors are available for time requested, ods will discuss alternate options with each student regarding accommodations for exams.
Intakes/Registration as a student with ODS: In order set up academic accommodations for use on final exams for the Spring 2013 semester, students must be registered with ODS by submitting current documentation and having their intake appointment completed no later than April 12, 2013. If you miss this deadline we can conduct your intake after May 20, 2013 to provide academic accommodations for next semester. Please contact us to arrange your intake and to ask any questions about necessary documentation.
Accommodation Request Forms: All accommodation request forms for letters for the Spring 2013 semester must be submitted by December 7, 2012. New students who register after this date will be able to submit forms prior to the start of the Spring 2013 semester. In order to have ample time to write students' accommodation letters, hire note-takers, and prepare for alternative text requests ODS needs accommodation letter requests to be submitted when students are registering for classes. If you are a student using a wheel chair who is planning on taking a class at either the LC or RH campus and need ram van transportation for class, you should have contacted us by December 20, 2012 so we can arrange this with Ram Van for next semester. As always if you make any changes to your class schedule, please notify our office to request a new letter when that change is made.
Test Proctoring Forms: In order to take a test with ODS, you must fill out a test proctoring form with your professor and submit it to ODS 7-10 days before a normal test or quiz and 2 weeks before midterms and finals. We routinely send reminders regarding this policy before midterms and finals. We will accommodate you on shorter notice as space allows. We've seen a significant increase in the number of tests being proctored at ODS, so in order to ensure we have space for you to test with our office we need you to submit your forms in a timely manner. To find proctors at our LC office outside of our business hours test proctoring forms must be turned in 10 days prior to the exam.
Thank you!
ONGOING PROGRAMS | spring
Students at Fordham University who are registered with the Office of Disability Services who struggle with time-management and/or organization are invited to contact Disability Services to set up an appointment for one-on-one academic coaching sessions with either Carolyn Mooney or Faith McBride-Byrne. These sessions are typically scheduled once a week and last for 45 minutes, but we are happy to assist you on an as-needed basis as well. Please contact email@example.com for more information.

I began taking Activated Liquid Zeolite to help me with fatigue and to improve my general wellbeing.
The first week or so I had a terrible metallic taste in my mouth, which indicated to me that I had heavy metals in my system.
Soon after that I did have a pain in my liver area that lasted a couple of days but by the 3rd week the detox symptoms eased and I felt much better.
I have also suffered from hay fever and other allergies for most of my life and was taking daily antihistamines to deal with the symptoms. While I was taking the Activated Liquid Zeolite I soon noticed I was "forgetting" to take the antihistamines because my symptoms seemed to have disappeared.
Gradually I completely stopped taking them while I was on the Activated Liquid Zeolite. Consequently I did not take one antihistamine tablet during the Hay fever Season.
I also used to suffer with sinus infections often, but since taking these remarkable drops I am lucky not to have had any symptoms or related infections.
Knowing how I was benefiting from Activated Liquid Zeolite I began giving my 5 year old son a couple of drops in a glass of water when he was being affected by food additives. If he ate certain flavour enhancers or colour and preservatives, his behavior became similar to that of ADHD and can last for a couple of days.
Depending on how much 'bad food' he has had, it now only takes about 30 minutes for him to calm down. So much so that he can sit down quietly and colour or watch a movie. Prior to the use of Zeolite he could not keep still, listen or concentrate. Even my 'skeptical' husband is quick to grab the drops when he's behaving like this.
Unfortunately, I stopped taking the drops for about 6 months as financially things were hard while building a new home. My overall health and in particular my allergies and sinus problems came back stronger than ever. I tried a cheaper Zeolite which found on the internet, but in made no difference to either my son or myself.
I have now come back to Activated Liquid Zeolite and look forward to my health improving as I continue to take these amazing drops, I am also looking forward to receiving residual income to enable me to stop going out to work and spend more time with my children.
I would recommend these remarkable drops to any parent who is concerned about their children's health especially if there is a problem with ADD or ADHD. Please call me if you have any questions as these drops are perfectly safe for children of all ages.

CNN scrutinizes Operation Baghdad Pups
A recent CNN report raises questions about Operation Baghdad Pups, and the charity that oversees the program, SPCA International.
CNN, whose sister network presented a positive and heartwarming portrayal of the program last year, found that SPCA International spent nearly all $27 million it received in donations to raise more money through a direct mail company.
The report also said SPCA International "misrepresented" Baghdad Pups on its tax filings, and that it hired an officer for that program with a "questionable background."
Two immediate thoughts:
One, in an ideal world, which of course we're not in, it would have been nice of CNN, or even its less probing sister network, HLN, to do its digging before tugging at our heartstrings to the extent we cough up money.
Two, with animal charities becoming big business, where should the line be drawn when it comes to how much of the money they rake in actually goes to helping animals?
A charity needs to spend money to raise money, of course, but Bob Ottenhoff, president of the charity watchdog group GuideStar, told CNN that the SPCA International's tax records raise "a number of red flags."
"No. 1, there is an enormous amount of money going into fund-raising," Ottenhoff said. "It's not unusual for a nonprofit to fund-raise. In fact they need to fund-raise. But this organization has an enormous amount of fund-raising costs, certainly relative to the amount of money being spent."
Of the $14 million raised in 2010, SPCA International reported it spent about $60,000, less than 0.5%, on cash grants to animal shelters across the United States. About $450,000 — about 3% of the total raised in 2010 — went to bring back animals from Iraq and Afghanistan as part of its "Baghdad Pups" program.
The CNN report seems to make much of the fact that most of those animals weren't actual members of the armed services — but, from our coverage of the organization, it never seemed to making the claim that they were.
Baghdad Pups is a program that "helps U.S. troops safely transport home the companion animals they befriend in the war zone," it states on the website.
As CNN put it, "the charity admitted that only 26 of the nearly 500 animals transported to the United States from Iraq and Afghanistan were actually service animals. The rest were stray animals … And those 26 service animals were not attached to military K-9 units but belonged to Reed Inc., a private contractor that built roads in Iraq and Afghanistan."
While dogs abandoned by contracting companies have been a concern of the program, stray animals, as I understood it, were what the program was all about — seeing that, in cases where they bonded with soldiers, they had a chance to come home with them.
While the CNN report may have been barking up the wrong tree in that regard, it was on the money in other ways — namely, in looking at what happens to the money.
SPCA International funneled nearly all the donations to Quadriga Art, one of the world's largest direct-mail providers to charities and nonprofits. The payments to Quadriga Art and its affiliated company, Brickmill Marketing Services, were for publicizing the organization and helping it raise more funds.
It is the same company hired by two veterans charities that spent tens of millions of dollars for its services, triggering a Senate investigation last month. One of the charities,Washington-based Disabled Veterans National Foundation, collected nearly $56 million in donations over the past three years yet paid Quadriga Art more than $60 million in fees, raising questions about whether it should retain its tax-exempt status.
SPCA International is still $8 million in debt to Quadriga Art, according to a spokeswoman for the direct-mail firm.
Lat week's CNN report also brought up previous problems Operation Baghdad spokeswoman Terri Crisp encountered while working on behalf of animals.
Crisp, who appeared on CNN's sister network, HLN, last year with two dogs rescued from Iraq, is the former head of a California-based animal rescue charity called Noah's Wish. It took in $8 million in contributions to support its work "rescuing and caring for the animal victims of Hurricane Katrina." An investigation by the California attorney general was looking into whether that money was being used for that purpose when a settlement was reached in 2007.
Crisp, while not admitting to any wrongdoing, agreed to return $4 million in donations, and to not "serve as an officer, director or trustee or in any position having the duties or responsibilities of an officer, director or trustee, with any non-profit organization" for five years.

The province reduced toll prices for the new Port Mann Bridge by 50 per cent Wednesday, in what is a temporary reprieve for motorists that will last for three months.
The new toll is set at $1.50 and goes into effect in December. The price break will remain in place until Feb. 28. The toll was originally slated to be $3.
"The new Port Mann Bridge will open in just a few short months, and when it does, drivers will be able to cut their commutes in half," said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Mary Polak in a news release.
"Some drivers will have an extra hour a day to spend time with family and friends, rather than wasting their days in traffic."
The $1.50 toll will apply to cars, pickups, trucks and SUVs only. Cars pulling trailers and light trucks will be charged $4.50, while semi and tractor trailers will pay $9 and motorcyclists will be charged $1.
Motorists who opt for a free windshield decal and tolling account by Feb. 28, 2013 will be guaranteed the half-price introductory toll rate for the first year. Those who sign up before Nov. 30, 2012 will receive a $30 credit on their account.
"We do have to figure out how to fund continued improvements in transportation, and one of the discussion points is always road pricing," said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart.
"I think this does allow for people to be eased into it and to some extent, get a feel for a mechanism that is used everywhere else in the world."
The technology that will be used to process the tolls is referred to as TReO, a system designed to cover toll registration, account management, payment and customer service needs. Drivers will be given free decals to track their trips, while vehicles without decals will be monitored via a licence plate camera system.
Those registered through the decal system will be charged via credit card, while drivers who aren't registered can pay at a kiosk either before or after they cross the bridge, or either online or by phone later.
Drivers without a decal will have seven days to pay.
"I was impressed by the way they are rolling in the tolls," said Simon Fraser University professor Gordon Price.
"It gives us a taste of the future. Road pricing is the way of the future, but politically and technologically, we've still got a ways to go. This begins to ease us in to it."

With over 750 lawyers across offices in the US, Europe, Asia and the Middle East the firm is well placed to serve clients with a global reach and has represented the likes of AES Gener and Emirates Aluminium Company Limited. Our research identifies 50 lawyers at the firm as leading names in 16 distinct practice areas.

Twenty-one V&E lawyers are selected in the oil and gas chapter demonstrating the firm's "unparalleled" depth of expertise in this field. The practice covers M&A, joint ventures, project developments and financings, dispute resolution, environmental and regulatory matters, tax, and intellectual property. Recent engagements include advising Santos Limited on its $7.4 billion joint venture with Petronas for the development of an LNG facility in Australia, in addition to advising Hanover Compressor Company on its merger with Universal Compression Holdings, creating Exterran Holdings, a leading company in compression and surface production solutions for the global oil and gas industry.
The Houston office fields the largest contingent, with six lawyers selected for inclusion. Stephen Davis is "highly regarded" by peers and clients alike and is a member of the corporate department, energy transactions/projects and M&A/private equity practice groups. Davis has "extensive experience" in the field representing a range of parties to major transactions relating to oil and gas, LNG and other energy industries. His work has spanned the globe, with transactions covering five continents, and he is a member of the firm's Brazil and Africa focus groups. Robin Fredrickson specialises in representing private equity firms in the formation of joint ventures, acquisitions and divestitures of assets of oil and gas properties. A "leading expert" in the oil and gas field, her expertise covers drafting and negotiating a range of agreements including exploration and development as well as drilling programmes. Fielding Cochran III has a "long-standing" reputation for M&A, project development, financing and commodity trading in the oil and gas industry. Cochran's recent work includes advising an oil and gas operator in the formation of a drilling fund to explore and develop properties in the Gulf of Mexico and leading financial institutions in the acquisition of a 50 per cent partnership interest in one of the top ten gas marketing companies in North America. In Washington, DC, Michael Doble is "well known" for his work in Asia and the Middle East and has advised in relation to projects and transactions in these regions.
Managing partner of the London office, Alexander Msimang is "highly proficient" in oil and gas transactions and his knowledge covers energy projects in Africa as well as throughout Europe.

In Hong Kong James Cuclis is "greatly respected" for his expertise and serves as the head of the corporate department, international coordinator of the firm's Asia practice and managing partner of the Hong Kong office. Lewis Jones and Christopher Strong are based in Abu Dhabi and both come "highly recommended" in our research for their expertise and "exceptional client service".
The firm receives seven listings in the environment chapter, six of which honour lawyers based in Texas. The firm's environmental lawyers advise on climate change, air and water permitting, enforcement defence, natural resource damages, water rights and environmental crisis management. In Houston, Carol Dinkins is one of the most highly regarded individuals in our research and chairs the firm's environmental practice group. Dinkins advises on transactions and permit matters as well as handling litigation, mediation and criminal defence, and her clients include energy companies, utilities and municipal and governmental entities. In Austin, Molly Cagle advises on a wide range of environmental matters and regularly represents clients before agencies and in federal and state courts. Her experience includes litigating under the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act and the Recovery Act and she is described as a "great asset" to her clients. In DC, Kevin Gaynor focuses on litigation and mediation of environmental matters, his practice encompassing both civil and criminal enforcement actions.
V&E fields three lawyers in the project finance chapter, two of whom also appear in the oil and gas section. Douglas Bland is based in Houston and is considered "excellent" in transactions and project financing and development focusing on energy. Beijing-based Paul Deemer focuses on international M&A and the development and financing of international energy projects, and is recognised in both corresponding chapters in our research. His representative work includes advising EBRD and OPIC on the Chernogorskoye field financing: the first financing of a privately developed oil field in Russia. Deemer currently serves as co-managing partner of the Beijing and Shanghai offices. Mark Spivak resides in the DC office and represents developers, financial institutions, private equity firms, investors and equipment suppliers in energy projects around the globe.
The firm receives further praise for its intellectual property expertise, with two lawyers selected for inclusion in the product liability chapter and one entry for patents. The "brilliant" William LaFuze is recognised for his patents expertise which covers litigation in the electronics, oilfield equipment, internet and computer-related fields. LaFuze is a "first-rate" litigator and has represented major manufacturers in patent infringement suits. Both based in the Houston office, Knox Nunnally and Robert Schick are "greatly respected" litigators with significant expertise in the field of product liability. Schick is co-head of the firm's litigation and regulatory department.
In addition, William Sims Jr and Harry Reasoner are recognised for their broad commercial litigation practices while James Loftis receives praise for his work within the field of commercial arbitration.

So let me get this straight the word "demolish" according to TJQ means to win no matter what the result. A 1-0 win is a demolishing win. A 10-0 win is again a demolishing win. A three million vote win with one hundred twenty six million votes cast equals demolishing! A two percentage point victory equals demolishing! A thirty five vote electoral college win you guessed it, demolishing.
If you have any questions, please refer to TJQ's map which shows you that lots and lots of land voted for the incumbent. If you have any other questions, well, your mother sucks.

Macon Newby recently spoke to 150 guests at the Christmas luncheon of Priority Associates. Mrs. Newby is the wife of Paul Newby, who was recently re-elected for a second term as Supreme Court Justice. Mrs. Newby chose her favorite soloist, Patty Fussell, to sing for the noon meeting. Patty's selections were "Mary, Did You Know" and "Falling before Your Throne."
Macon, who has a degree in Business Administration from UNC and who also graduated from Carolina Law School, was introduced by Faye Johnson. Faye shared that Macon, an identical twin, grew up in Wilson, but now lives in Raleigh with her husband and their four adopted children.
The Newby children range in ages from 17 to 24. Macon home schooled her two sons and two daughters in the earlier stages of their education. She has worked as a clerk at the N.C. Court of Appeals. Her hobbies are walking, riding horses and playing tennis. She also enjoys working on their farm in the country.
As Macon began her remarks, she took the group back to her childhood and told of lying in bed at night with her twin sister; she began pondering some of the things she had been taught about Jesus. She marveled that at some point she would die.
She realized that she was really a person in her own right. Macon knew she would have to answer to God for everything she had said and done personally.
Macon knew her parents loved her, yet, they disciplined her and her sister. She knew there were some things she had done that were not right, so there would be a price to pay. Even at that young age when she heard about Jesus coming to earth and dying on the cross to take away the world's sins, she knew He had died for her. At that time she asked Jesus to come into her life and save her.
Holding up a black cloth that represented sin, Macon said, "All of us have sinned; no matter what we do, that sin is between us and God. But God loved us so much that He sent His Son, a part of Himself, into the world to take away our sin."
Lifting the black cloth, she said, "Only Jesus could take away our sin. He came to earth as a baby in a manger sent by God. Jesus was willing to give His life on the cross for us. We now have free access to God, because Jesus did not stay in that manger.
You may hear people say there are many gods and many ways to God, but that is a lie. Quoting Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Wages are what we deserve; a gift is what we do not deserve. So we deserve death, but God has a gift for us—eternal life. The only way to have this life is through Jesus Christ when you have asked Him to be your Lord. Let us not leave Jesus in the manger, but let us have Him live in us with joy. Jesus is God!
The next luncheon meeting of Women's Priority Associates will be held 0n Jan. 29 at Bentwinds Country Club at 11:30 a.m. The cost is $10. The speaker will be Anne Curry of Stonecroft Ministries. For reservations, contact Faye Johnson at 919-552-3763 or email@example.com.

Centro de seguridad en InternetInternet SecuritySecurity Tips77 million subscribers to Sony's PlayStation Network has been compromised in a security breach
Lo sentimos!
La página actual fue escrita en otro idioma. ¿Qué le gustaría hacer ahora?
Update: May 3rd it came out that the details of Sony Online Entertainment users have also been targeted by hackers, adding approximately 24.6 million SOE accounts to the 77 million PSN accounts and bringing the total to a whopping 100 million user accounts compromised in the attack.
"The only thing that we can be virtually certain of is that the information has now been parcelled up and sold on black exchanges – market places where digital information is traded as any other commodity, with rates that range from $2 for one kind of information to $25 for credit card details, depending on the going rate," says BullGuard CTO, Claus Villumsen in a comment to the breach.
BullGuard has these tips to PlayStation subscribers on how to limit the damage and protect themselves from identity theft:
1. Change username and passwords for unrelated accounts that use the same username and/or password as the PlayStation account. As most people use the same few passwords/security questions for all their accounts, stolen passwords pose a major security risk.
2. Change security questions and password on PlayStation account.
3. Moving forward, only make purchases with devices that have security software installed such as your PC.
4. Closely monitor account statements and credit report. If your details have been stolen it is most likely that the thieves will siphon out small amounts at a time, making them less likely to be spotted.
5. Get a fraud alert on your credit card, or cancel it and get a new one.
General advice – how to protect your personal details on public networks like PlayStation:
1. Do not store your credit card details online. Many services have so-called "e-wallet" services which allow you to store credit card details, in order to make future purchases fast and easy for you. This conflict between security and convenience is a huge dilemma for online services, and should be something you consider carefully as well.
2. Do not use the same passwords and security questions for all your accounts. Most people alternate between 2 or 3 passwords for everything. Consequently, if one account is hacked, identity thieves have access to all your different profiles and accounts. At least make sure that the passwords and security questions you use for banking and money transfers are very different from the ones you use everywhere else.
3. If you mention your children's, pet's and spouse's names on social media like Facebook and Twitter, do not use these for your passwords. That's what everyone else is doing, and the bad guys are on that!
4. Only make purchases with devices that have internet security software (minimum antivirus and firewall) installed such as your PC.

what is the biggest most fundamental question in all of physics? |
Feb20-12, 02:54 AM | #19 |
I think, as in so many areas, there's a convergence between physics and philosophy. Philosophers in the past have argued that unless there is some uncaused cause external to the universe, then the universe must be causa sui and have persisted through infinite time up to now. The notion of an uncaused event is anathema to physics, as is the notion of belief in some unseen metaphysical entity. Therefore, physics and a philosophical perspective both demand that there is no spontaneous ex nihilo creation. It is contrary to the foundational principles of physics that the universe should have just popped into existence with a cause. So there is no such thing as t<0. If something else caused our universe, then its contours will surely one day be divined just as surely as we are now probing the contours of events 14 billion years ago.
And in any case, it's not really a question for philosophers because that sort of speculation was the preserve of philosophers centuries ago. Nowadays philosophers tend to be interested in things like logic, language, and the mind. The real heirs of that sort of philosophy are modern theoretical physicists. |
Feb20-12, 04:03 AM | #20 |
I think " why is there something rather than nothing " or make a universe out of absolutely nothing, says it all you could also add where does God fit in as well
Feb20-12, 04:05 AM | #21 |
Particle physicists would argue that it's something like "how to combine relativity and QM", which would then hopefully lead to the "theory of everything" governing the behavior of all fundamental particles (and then, some think that string theory is the answer to that). This is of course often heard in popular media. On the other hand, a condensed-matter or non-linear physicist, for example, would argue that understanding phenomena is more important than understanding specific cases. Like broken gauge symmetry which underlies both superconductivity and the Higgs mechanism. With this view, it is hard to formulate a single "ultimate question". Nobel Laureate Robert Laughlin's nice book "A Different Universe: Reinventing Physics from the Bottom Down" is an excellent critique of the common particle-physics view. |

Who was the physicist that said "after the big bang is the job of science, before the big bang is the job of theologists." Not an exact quote, but hopefully someone can make the connection. Ive read it somewere, a while ago.

1. Why don't General Relativity and Quantum Physics agree?
2. How did Justin Beiber ever become popular? Claude. |
Feb24-12, 06:47 AM | #24 |
"String theory" still needs an experimental basis. I would say that the most important fundamental problem is combining quantum theory and relativity- the "unified field theory".
Feb24-12, 07:14 AM | #25 |
well extend it to what is fundamental problem in physics NOW?
That would definitely be GUT/UFT or add FTL travel to conquer space. Physics is more of EXPLAINATION OF NATURAL PHENOMENA. ANOTHER age of successful space exploration and beyond will bring in new phenomenons. |
Feb24-12, 07:33 AM | #26 |
Whatever question you formulate, its answer will not be the answer to 'everything'. Why do I say that? Because, however long we take and however much we pool our own personal awarenesses, there is a limit to the degree to which we can analyse and understand ourselves.
I guess the best we can do is to come to terms with that basic situation but not to 'just give up'. Keep swimming or we drown. And could someone explain to me why 'Space' and its conquest are supposed to be, in some way, the ultimate goal? That always sounds to me too much like the Wild West and Cowboy movies. The really important stuff is going on Inside our Heads. |
Feb24-12, 08:02 AM | #27 |
Conquest of space will provide fuel to the brain we have. Fuel to open new vistas to our thought processes.
Well i am not going to believe that everything is inside our head after the clear evidence of evolution of beings and creation of our brain from chemicals. Its difficult to imagine EVEN THAT to be hollogram created by brain. Where would evolution/bigbang and everything outside that fit in? There might be no end to curiosity but at least I cant remain without thinking. |

what is the biggest most fundamental question in all of physics?
Wonderful question! However, I refuse to give only one answer, so here comes ten : 1. Can Quantum mechanics be joined with Relativity? 2. What is the most correct interpretation of Quantum mechanics? 3. When will QM & Relativity be replaced with even better theories? Will they? The history of science seems to say yes... 4. Why does the arrow of time point in only one direction? 5. What is the origin of mass (Higgs?) and how does the interaction of gravitation work (gravitons?)? 6. What is the origin of charge? Can it in any way be related to energy? Why does it not care about relativity? 7. Do the electron and/or the quarks have any substructure? 8. What is the true nature of vacuum? Is it empty or not? 9. Are there more spatial dimensions than three? How could we find out? Can we ever? 10. Is there only one Universe? Can we ever answer that question? Here is a good link too: Open Questions in Physics. |
Feb24-12, 12:09 PM | #29 |
hmmm - to me, it boils down to "what is a field?"
since there is basically no-thing there (ie, all fundamental particles are point particles with no volume, just properties), and the idea that "particles" are simply excitations of a given field, and since, from what i can tell, there is no understanding of what a field actually is or how it operates (virtual particle exchange explains pretty much nothing at all), i would say that is my most basic question. |
Feb24-12, 12:18 PM | #30 |
You make the very important point that it's YOUR most basic question and that's the point. We all have different ones - which makes life interesting.

I can't tell you what the most puzzling question in physics is now, but I can tell you what it will be probably like in a year or so.
"And now? How do we cope with this?" You have to picture some distressed faces saying that. |

Disney domain registrations point to a racing game in the works
The ever vigilant Internet sleuth Superannuation has dug up some more domain registrations, and they pertain to a possibly racing game of sorts from Disney. The domains registered vary from having a .net to .com on them, and carry the monikers DisneySpeedster, DisneySpeedsters, DisneyRacers, DisneyRacing, DisneyKart, DisneyKartRacing, and DisneyKarting. Lots of Disney in there. There's even a Disney Speedsters Twitter account, but it hasn't tweeted yet. Sounds, to me, like Disney is possibly looking to create its own version of Mario Kart or Diddy Kong Racing, only with Disney characters. I'm no psychic though.
