6 linked to $1M mortgage swindle
Six people linked to a Hasbrouck Heights mortgage company have been charged by federal authorities with fleecing distressed homeowners out of a total of $1 million in a foreclosure rescue scheme.
The FBI said Monday that in 2005, mortgage broker Daniel Verdia, who formerly owned Challenge Mortgage Services in Hasbrouck Heights, promised to help five financially ailing homeowners by either selling or refinancing their homes.
In several cases, authorities said, Challenge arranged for a "straw buyer" to purchase the homes, and promised to sell the homes back to the original owners after they recovered financially. The straw buyer was promised $5,000 for participating, authorities said.
But all five transactions ended with the defendants taking the proceeds of the mortgage loans and the homeowners defaulting, authorities said.
"To swindle people out of the roofs over their heads is just deplorable," said Weysan Dun, the FBI's special agent in charge of the Newark office.
Challenge Mortgage and several associated companies allegedly falsified information on the homeowners' loan applications. Attorney Philip Blanch of West Caldwell allegedly closed the loans, and his employee, Crystal Paling, allegedly recruited buyers and wrote some of the documents.
"In the end, three of the victim homeowners received no compensation whatsoever for the sale of their homes," the FBI said in a statement. "The other two victims received a fraction of the money they were owed."
Foreclosure rescue scams sprang up several years ago, as homeowners struggled with high monthly mortgage payments.
In one of the most common, homeowners agree to sell, thinking they'll remain in the house as renters and be able to buy back the property in a year or two. The "rescuer" will recruit and pay someone to take title to the house and refinance the mortgage in his or her own name.
But the homeowners' financial situation rarely improves to the point that they can afford to buy the home back. They often end up losing the house.

[säl′id stāt′]solid-state definition by Webster's New World
- designating or of the branch of physics dealing with the fundamental properties of solids, as structure, binding forces, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties etc., and with their effects
- designating, of, or equipped with electronic devices, as semiconductors, that can control current without heated filaments, moving parts, etc.
solid-state definition by American Heritage Dictionary
solid-state - Computer Definition
Non mechanical. Solid state refers to electronic circuits composed of transistors, resistors, capacitors and other components, which may be discrete, single devices, or millions of them can be created in a single chip. For example, microprocessors and memories are all solid state. In a solid state device, there is no mechanical action, although an unbelievable amount of electromagnetic action takes place within. A computer has solid state and non-solid state parts. The solid state components are the motherboard, chips, screen, camera and optical mouse, while the hard drive, CD/DVD drive, fans, keyboard, microphone and speakers have mechanical components. Faster and More Reliable Storage For data storage, solid state devices are faster and more reliable than mechanical drives that spin disk platters, but they are more expensive. Although the cost of solid state disks is dropping all the time, the cost/performance ratio of magnetic disks continues to improve as well. See solid state drive.

ENTRIES TAGGED "diversity"
Open Source convention considers situational awareness in cars, and more
A report from OSCon
Every conference draws people in order to make contacts, but the Open Source convention also inspires them with content. I had one friend withdraw from an important business meeting (sending an associate) in order to attend a tutorial.
Lots of sessions and tutorials had to turn away attendees. This was largely fall-out from the awkward distribution of seats in the Oregon Convention Center: there are just half a dozen ballroom-sized spaces, forcing the remaining sessions into smaller rooms that are more appropriate for casual meetings of a few dozen people. When the conference organizers measure the popularity of the sessions, I suggest that any session at or near capacity have its attendance counted as infinity.
More than 3,900 people registered for OSCon 2013, and a large contingent kept attending sessions all the way through Friday.
Community Leadership Summit tracks the forces that spread ideas
Inclusivity and recruitment among the themes at the unconference
American businesses, along with many others around the world, hustle to find enough programmers and computing staff. The gap widens precariously between the number of job openings and the number students graduating with the necessary skills. And yet, at the same time, we seem to drown in an overabundance of software packages. If you want JavaScript frameworks, large-scale data stores, bulk system configuration tools, mesh networking protocols, or even a new functional language, you have almost too many choices. So the shortage of programmers does not apply when people offer their code to their colleagues across the globe.
Open source software's ever-expanding options show a programming culture that is proud of its accomplishments and eager to explore untapped potential. But above all, they reveal a desire to work together on problems. The existence of open source packages shows the strength of community.
The Community Leadership Summit (CLS), which started four years ago at the Open Source convention and has been held on the weekend preceding it ever since, drew more attendees than ever this year (I estimate some 200 at the opening plenary), and a large fraction of them actually work as community managers. The field has matured in other ways as well. At early conferences, people expressed aspirations and complained of problems that this year are finding solutions.
Do's and don't's for changing the ratio of women in tech
Etsy's Marc Hedlund shares the tactics he's using to boost the diversity of his engineering team
You've probably heard of Etsy, the bustling online marketplace for crafters and artists. You probably wouldn't be surprised to learn that most of its customers are women, both buyers and sellers. Ditto that the Etsy team is a pretty good representation of the Earth's gender ratio.
Yet when Marc Hedlund took the helm of Etsy's Product Development & Engineering department, 97% of the engineering department were men. Hedlund realized that in his nearly two decades in IT, he's hired no more than 20 women for engineering positions. This began to bother him. Especially after his daughter was born.
"You're in a position of authority. What have you done to make it better?"
While she's only four, Hedlund imagines this is the pointed question his daughter will ask him when she's old enough to follow in his footsteps in the computing industry.
Impatient to change the gender ratio before his daughter enters the workforce, Hedlund decided to take action. Last year, he partnered with Hacker School to create a training program to address the engineering shortage in general and the lack of gender parity in particular.
The result: women now make up 15% of Etsy's engineering team.
How did he do it? In his video interview, Hedlund offers concrete advice for companies who want to hire more women in technical roles.

CNBC Top Videos of The Day: InBev, IndyMac & More
InBev buys an American icon and IndyMac falls. Today's top videos recap the highlights.
Fate of Fannie & Freddie
"Lets recognize that this housing crisis was and is much deeper in some parts of the country than others and there's a very direct relationship in most afflicted regions to bad lending practices. It's no surprise to us, for example, that some of those communities with the largest over hang and the largest foreclosure rates tend to be those same communities that were the heart of the problem in 1990 with the savings and loan crisis."
—Abby Joseph-Cohen, Goldman Sachs Sr. Investment Strategist
Deal On Tap
"All along we told you about the power behind written consent. That really was the key weapon here in Arsenal and the one that ultimately deployed to great effect…Friendly talks ensure, you get a deal, and you get a deal that calms some nerves on the Anheuser-Busch side."
—David Faber, Faber Report
Saving Fannie & Freddie
"I think this is a case where Fannie and Freddieare fundamentally sound, they are not in danger of going are not the best investment these days from the long-term standpoint going back, I think they are in good shape going forward, there in the housing market. I do think their prospects going forward are very solid."
—Rep.(D-Mass.) Barney Frank, Chairman of the House Financial Services
Stop Trading, Listen to Cramer!
"I would emphasize that everyone in the game knew that IndyMac was going to go, everybody. It's because they had a huge number of non-performing assets…You don't want to wait until there's a line out the door getting your deposit, just look at the NPA's, that's what determines whether a bank is going to be seized or not, non-performers."
—Jim Cramer, Mad Money

New smartphone research: 1/4 smartphone Internet users in top markets have made a purchase on their phones
Cross-post from Googlemobileads Blog
Yesterday we shared some topline insights into consumers' love affair with their smartphones and why businesses must fall in love with mobile in 2012. Today we go deeper into key findings on mobile consumer behavior in six countries - USA, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and Japan - from the new "Our Mobile Planet: Global Smartphone Users" research we conducted in January 2012 with Ipsos.
Consumers love multi-tasking while using their mobile phones
- In general Americans are the biggest mobile multi-taskers, with 81% having used their smartphone while engaging with other media.
- 54% of UK smartphone users watched TV while engaging with their smartphone.
- 36% of Spaniards exhibit true multi-screen behavior as they use their smartphones while also using another internet connected device such as their computer.
This offline media consumption causes consumers to search on their smartphones
- Across most of these six markets, roughly 60% of smartphone users are searching because of an ad they've seen offline or in a store.
- Smartphone owners in Spain lead the way in searching as a result of seeing an offline ad. More than two-thirds (68%) search because of something they saw offline, with 62% searching as a result of something they saw on TV.
- Half of German smartphone users (49%) have searched because of something they've seen in a store, and one-third (34%) of French smartphone users have searched on their mobile due to an ad they've seen in a magazine.
- 99% of smartphone users in Japan have used a search engine on mobile. This means that practically everyone who's gone online on mobile has searched on their phone.
- Mobile search is a frequent activity. In most of these six countries more than 75% of smartphone Internet users search at least once a week.
Consumers Take Action After Looking for Local Information
- 92% of Americans use their smartphones to look for information about local businesses or services.
- Local information seekers take action. 81% of French smartphone users who've looked for local information then acted on it with a quarter (26%) having called the business and 43% having visited the business.
- Globally, 1 out 5 smartphone users in all six countries made a purchase after looking for local information, whether in-store or online.
- Japan leads the way in mobile commerce with 40% of smartphone Internet users having made a purchase on their phone. One third of Americans (34%) and approximately a quarter of those in the European countries have made a purchase.
- Mobile shoppers are frequent purchasers. Across all markets, more than 50% of those who've made a mobile purchase do so at least on a monthly basis. In Spain, 64% of mobile shoppers make a purchase at least monthly, with 15% purchasing on a weekly basis.
Smartphones Influence Consumer Purchase Decisions & Channels
- Nearly one in four (26%) French smartphone owners say they intentionally have their mobile with them to compare prices and get product information. And the French say they have changed their mind about purchasing something in-store (19%) or online (17%) as a result of information they gathered on their smartphone.
- Smartphone research also leads to purchases online and offline. 37% of UK smartphones Internet users have bought something online and 26% of German smartphone users have made a purchase offline in-store or over the phone after having researched something via their smartphone.

Robert Pattinson skipped the Abduction première, forgoing a chance to support his Breaking Dawn co-star, Taylor Lautner. The British actor is back in Los Angeles, but he did not make a stop by to see the new film.
"What about Robert Pattinson? He flew back from London on Sept. 14, surely he could have put on an outfit and gone?" Hollywood Life asks. There could be a very logical explanation for this. Perhaps RPattz did not want to cause a frenzy and take the spotlight off of Lautner. In fact, it is possible that Rob was there, but didn't walk the red carpet and just snuck in to the film.
If he didn't go, surely he had a good excuse. There would have to be a reason for him not to support Taylor Lautner, right? It's interesting to see the dynamic between Hollywood friends, and sometimes they don't go to each other's premieres, that's just the way things work apparently.
Maybe RPattz is anti-Lily Collins, since she is Kristen Stewart's Snow White competition!

Except for the fast idle knob, I never use that except in the middle of winter, maybe.
The TDC is the key though. Gently push your kickstart down until it's hard, bring it back to the top and a decent smooth kick and you'll be away laughing.
Don't be ridiculous Maple! You only ride for the two summer months of the year. The rest of the year you spend with your bike polishing your knob. (don't be disgusting, I meant his fast-idle-knob... LOL)

Hi vanessa, Paul rebolted this one. I think he bolted a linkup between bj and wbf. Bj goes straight up from the dbb and still needs some bolts in the top. Lofty and I did this climb this morning - thought it was great.
The snake(s) was a nice bonus eh?
Very. Paul told us there was a snake on the climb (but neglected the arrows so I just assumed it was a key hold. I had already seen one lower so just went for that hold and put my fingers on the snake followed quickly by a desperate pounch sideways...

In an 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed on June 12, Macquarie Infrastructure revealed that it is adding two FBOs at Norman Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC) in Northern California to its acquisition of the Mercury Air Centers FBO chain.
L-3 Avionics Systems has received STC approval aboard the King Air C90 for its new Iris infrared imaging system for general aviation aircraft, along with FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval. The C90 is the first application for Iris, which a spokesperson said is generating "tremendous interest. We have installation and certification programs under way for many different platforms."
Enhanced-vision system (EVS) makers Forward Vision and Max-Viz have announced a joint venture to bring lower-cost infrared products to the general aviation market. A repackaged version of the Max-Viz EVS-100 will be the first manifestation of the alliance when the $15,000 forward-looking sensor goes on sale early next year.
Allied Capital, the private-equity firm owner of the Mercury Air Centers FBO chain, has agreed to sell its 24 FBOs to Macquarie Infrastructure, a publicly traded Australian company that also owns the Atlantic Aviation FBO chain. The $456.2 million deal includes 24 Allied Capital FBOs, which include Mercury Air Centers (purchased in 2004 from Mercury Air Group), Corporate Wings, FirstAir and IX Jet Center.
The top spots at two of the country's largest FBO chains are changing hands. Mercury Air Centers (16 locations) has confirmed that president John Enticknap has been replaced by Randall Jones; and Signature Flight Support (43 North American locations) has verified that Beth Haskins will step down in September. Signature has not named a replacement for Haskins, who served as the company's CFO before taking the reins as president in 2000.
Australia's Macquarie Infrastructure confirmed that it is buying Allied Capital's chain of 24 FBOs, which includes Mercury Air Centers, Corporate Wings, FirstAir and IX Jet Center. Price of the purchase is $456.2 million, and the deal should close in the third quarter, "subject to consent (or letters of estoppel) being received from relevant airport authorities," according to a Macquarie statement.
Cleveland-based Corporate Wings/Mercury Air Centers this week named Richard Michaels as its vice president of marketing. Michaels, a 25-year business aircraft sales veteran, was tapped by company CEO Kenn Ricci to head marketing and sales functions for all affiliated companies.
Nobody likes to disconnect a push-pull primary fluid line and take a shower in jet fuel or hydraulic fluid, especially in a combat situation. To avoid this all-to-common scenario on the new multinational F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, Lockheed Martin chose Eaton's new Ultra-Mate couplings for primary fluid conveyance applications.
Publicly traded Macquarie Group, the Australian company that owns the Atlantic Aviation chain of FBOs, is purchasing the FBOs owned by private-equity firm Allied Capital and will merge them into the Atlantic network. Macquarie, which bought Atlantic in April 2004, is performing due diligence to purchase Allied's 22 Mercury Air Centers, Corporate Wings, FirstAir and IX Jet Center FBOs, according to Atlantic v-p Sue Sommers.
Allied Capital, a Washington, D.C.-based business development firm, last month finalized a complex, controversial $81 million deal (including closing costs) to acquire the Mercury Air Centers (FBO) division of Los Angeles-based Mercury Air Group.

Sebastian Silva's 2009 film The Maid examined the physical and psychological demands of working as a nearly indentured live-in housekeeper, and the toll taken by more than 20 years in the same household.
Perhaps in part because Silva based the film on his childhood growing up in Santiago, Chile, the approach to a subject rife with issues of social class was more personal than overtly political.

Here's some news for parents of the sippy-cup crowd: The Food and Drug Administration has proposed a 10 parts-per-billion threshold for levels of inorganic arsenic in apple juice. This is the same level set by the EPA for arsenic in drinking water. Right now, there is no FDA standard for apple juice.
Now, we've told you about the brouhaha over trace levels of arsenic commonly found in apple juice before.

PPK RZM Bad Purchase
3 Attachment(s)
Good evening,
I recently purchased an RZM PPK without doing any research for $1500. It is SN 841002. Since my purchase I have done some research and found the last three digits should be scratched into the slide thru the ejection port. My eyes are not good even with glasses so I took a snap shot and blew it up. To me it looks like it ends with a "2" or "3" but it sure is not lead by to zeros. (photos attached). My question to the experts is: 1. what digits are those in the slide? 2. How much did I lose on my purchse? 3. What should I pay for a real RZM PPK? I thank you all in advance for your time and expertise. SD8 |
Re: PPK RZM Bad Purchase
IAW my reference, the entire block of serial numbers 820000 to 845000 was devoted to RZM. Now I'm the first to admit that I'm not a Walther expert, we do have a regular , Danny who is very well versed on these animals, however, the gun looks authentic. I find nothing ion my references that state the last three digits are supposed to be scratched on the inter part of the slide. The slide is right, serial number correct, grips look good and the magazine looks correct. I think you have a RZM PPK.
Re: PPK RZM Bad Purchase
IMHO, the price was high given the condition of the gun. But alternatively, RZM guns don't turn up on every street corner, so if you want one, you take it when you can.
The authority for the 820000-845000 numbers is Walther, so I have no reason to think it is not accurate and I agree with RJay that yours is genuine. (I don't know if it would bother you or not, but that pitting looks like blood spatter. I have seen much the same thing on guns used in suicides.) Jim |
Re: PPK RZM Bad Purchase
First I would like to thank you for responding.
I was reading various sites information and came to the conclusion that the PPKs from that time period had the digits scratched inside the barrel. I do have a nice PPK from 1934 (not RZM) in the 809xxx range. It did have the last three digits scratched inside the slide and could be viewed thru the ejection port. I had to photograph it and blow it up and after that I could make out the chicken scratch. It was the last 3 digits of the PPK. Your response makes me feel a little better. Regardless if it is real or not it does shoot well. Everything I collect I shoot. I try to only buy pistols that looked used. It makes my think the firearm has been somewhere. Pristine pistols are very nice and pricey but it seems like they have been no where but in a box or cabinet. I also try to think what kind of person who own it was like. I have some WWI Colts and WWII Colts that looks very used. I wonder he owned them and where they been. This PPK is easy, I am sure he must have been a NAZI if its real RZM. I am wondering if there would have been NAZI's if the Treaty of Versailles was written differently? I would to say to all in the TFF, thank you for years of good reading. I learned a lot about firearms from your posts. I hope at some time I can contribute some useful info to someone. Rjay, thanks again for responding and everyone have a great day, Stephen |

Blood splatter?
It does not bother me. It makes the pistol a little more interesting. To provide futher detail the spots are smooth, not pitted or rusted. They are visually seen only and have no depth into the metal. If you run your finder over them you would not be able to tell they were there. I assumed the spots were from sitting in the holster. (see photos). Do you or any other member know what type of holster this is? It is unmarked. It came with the pistol and two mags. I looked on all sites selling holsters and do not see one like it. Thank you all for your responses. |

Australian gold miner Norseman Gold has appointed an administrator to its main operating subsidiary CNGC after production problems at the Norseman mine left it short of cash. The appointment of the administrator will give Norseman a five week breathing space to deal with its suppliers and other creditors.
Major shareholder Tulla, the vehicle of mining tycoon and executive chairman Mr Kevin Maloney has agreed to take on debts owed by Norseman to Red Kite group and also agreed to indemnify the Administrator in relation to his costs. As a result, Tulla now directly and indirectly holds approximately AUD 25 million in secured debt.
Norseman's directors said they propose to submit a deed of company arrangement for consideration of creditors that will provide for the continuation of the business of CNGC and control to be returned to them.
The miner added that while the agreement between Tulla and Red Kite had resolved the immediate financial difficulties faced by the company, its shares will continue to be suspended both in Australia and on AIM while the administrator is in charge of CNGC.
Norseman is one of the oldest mines in Australia. The company had budgeted for 17,000 ounces of gold to be produced in the quarter to September but heavy rain, equipment failures and incorrect data points at its North Royal pit plus the closure of the Harlequin underground mine due to safety concerns meant it came in well short of that target.
The company said that this created significant short term cash flow issues. The mill was also closed due to mechanical and maintenance problems with the last gold sale swap occurring on September 11.
Mr Ron Dean Willcocks of Dean Willcocks Shepard who has been appointed administrator to CNGC said that he intends to continue to run the Norseman Mine as a going concern.

"Valde ECP" consists of two specially engineered powder coating layers that are applied consecutively and cured in a single oven cycle.
In a study, the effect of various micro and nano-sized particles on the mechanical and adhesion properties of a commercial non-pigmented polyester-TGIC powder coating was investigated.
The manual "Powder Coating for Industrial Finishing Applications" serves as a guide to operating a powder coating system and managing the process for efficiency and profit, with emphasis on practical issues affecting daily operations.
Researchers from the University Eindhoven, The Netherlands, and Gdansk, Poland, evaluated linear and branched bio-based semi-aromatic (co)polyesters as resins for solvent-based and powder coatings.
Sonja Specks, Editor of the European Coatings JOURNAL took part in this year's "Color Run" in Berlin. What it is about? See for yourself and browse through the picture gallery. How was it for Sonja? "I sum up: As a substrate you have lots of fun. Have a look, my pictures prove it."
Bridges are one example of construction projects that are often built from hot-dip galvanized steel. How to coat this steel without adhesion failure of the powder system is explained in the new ASTM standard.
From current market situation and REACH to the various types of powder coatings, raw materials, parameters affecting the porperties, production technologies and application technologies - all information in one book available now.
Make automotive bodies more durable. That's the target as well for the new powder coat. But what does it comprise?
Novel technologies facilitating successful powder coating of inherently non-conductive architectural products made of plastics, composites and wood will be presented at a conference.
Aim of a new study was to correlate the characteristics of UV powder resins with the photochemical process and the final coating properties.

Home > Research Legal Advice > Child Support > Form: FL-397 (Request for Income and Benefit Information from Employer) ...
I'm going through a child support hearing in Napa County. My former spouse earns $113,000 per year, her husband claimed annual earnings of $85,000 as of May 2012, and despite remaining in the same job with same title, now claims he only makes $65,000.
Our child lives 50% with both parents. Four months ago I became unemployed and filed for immediate child support modification which formerly required me to pay her $720 per month.
She has also stopped working (taking FMLA leave) and claims her paediatrician "recommended" she stay at home with her son until he is 2 years old.
I'm on food stamps and cash aid. She has an attorney, I do not. For discovery purposes, since she now claims to be 100% living off her husbands reduced salary, can I send a FL-397 to husbands employer?
For purposes of calculating child support, the new husband's income will not be considered. The primary purpose of the ex-wife including it on her Income & Expense Declaration is for purposes of showing that there are two people, not one, sharing in payment of househole expenses, and to identify the ex-wife's tax-filing status.
As my colleague stated, your request will invariably be denied because it pertains to your ex-wife's income, not the new husband's income. As the form itself reflects, you would serve such a document on the employer after the ex-wife failed to fill out her Income & Expense Declaration within 30 days.
Even if your ex wife is on leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), doesn't mean she has the legal right to not work for 2 years based on the pediatrician's "recommendations." In such cases, it would be appropriate to ask that the "inpute" income to her, e.g. $113,000/year due to her wilful refusal to return back to work.
The problem here is that she could make an equal argument that you are not making good-faith efforts to seek employment.
Your case is complicated. May I suggest you speak with an attorney willing to provide a free consultation--to, at the very least, put you in the right direction.
Good luck!

a memoir of forgiveness, survival, and my journey from homeless to Harvard
Community Activity
Add a CommentEven though the subject matter can be very difficult to read about, Liz Murray writes in such a way that I couldn't put this book down. Her love and perseverance is awe inspiring. Reading Breaking Night was like having a midnight chat with a girlfriend.
The best book I have ever read!!! Liz Murray shared the front page of newspapers with the Clintons..it's 5 stars..
38th in line... The movie, Homeless to Havard: The Liz Murray Story also tells an amazing, inspiring life. I can't wait to read it!
Liz Murray grew up the daughter of two crackhead drunks, but she didn't let that deter her from persuing her dreams. Out of her grim beginning came a determined woman who was ultimately admitted to Harvard. A memoir with no sense of self-pity. Good for anyone with an interest in the memoir, and for teenagers as well. It contains valuable life lessons about hard work overcoming a terrible childhood.
Add a SummaryStarred Review. From runaway to Harvard student, Murray tells an engaging, powerfully motivational story about turning her life around after growing up the neglected child of drug addicts. When Murray was born in 1980, her former beatnik father was in jail for illegally trafficking in prescription painkillers, and her mother, a cokehead since age 13, had just barely missed losing custody of their year-old daughter, Lisa. Murray and her sister grew up in a Bronx apartment that gradually went to seed, living off government programs and whatever was left after the parents indulged their drug binges; Murray writes that drugs were the "wrecking ball" that destroyed her family-- prompting her mother's frequent institutionalization for drug-induced mental illness and leading to her parents inviting in sexual molesters. By age 15, with the help of her best friend Sam and an elusive hustler, Carlos, she took permanently to the streets, relying on friends, sadly, for shelter. With the death of her mother, her runaway world came to an end, and she began her step-by-step plan to attend an alternative high school, which eventually led to a New York Times scholarship and acceptance to Harvard. In this incredible story of true grit, Murray went from feeling like "the world was filled with people who were repulsed by me" to learning to receive the bountiful generosity of strangers who truly cared.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (KNSI) There's no need to spend Thanksgiving alone if you live in the St. Cloud area.
That's because Place of Hope Ministries is hosting a free Thanksgiving Day meal over the noon hour at 511 9th Avenue North.
Pastor Carol Smith says it will be a traditional meal, with turkey and all the trimmings. She says they have enough food to serve at least 200 people. Members of Celebration Lutheran Church in Sartell will be volunteering their time today to help prepare and serve the meal.
Smith says she was, "called to the community to provide some basic needs for them, and food is our very first basic need." Smith says he loves Thanksgiving and believes, " everyone should have the chance to share it with other people. "

Well we got through the endoscopy of my little two year old today without a hitch. He did really well! He is home and playing and happy and HUNGRY!
The initial comment from the doctor is that it didn't look too bad in there. We will find out what the biopsies looked like on Friday and go from there. So we will see.
he did lose a little weight in the last two months.. nothing like before the gluten-free diet.. And we have had him gluten-free except for the 1/2 slice of bread for the last two months..
So he does do better on a gluten-free diet.
There's one peice now we have to see if the other peices fit!
Thank you all for your help and support!!

Kansas tops AP preseason poll |
Story Highlights
Kansas was voted the top team easily in the preseason AP pollMichigan State, Texas, Kentucky and Villanova rounded out the top fiveDefending champion North Carolina was sixth in the poll |
Kansas is the runaway choice for No. 1 in The Associated Press' preseason college basketball poll. The Jayhawks return all five starters and welcome one of the country's top recruiting classes. They are coming off a 27-8 season that ended in the third round of the NCAA tournament. Kansas received 55 first-place votes Thursday from the 65-member national media panel to easily outdistance Michigan State, which was No. 1 on five ballots. The Spartans return seven of their top nine scorers from last season's national runner-up squad. Texas, Kentucky and Villanova round out the top five. North Carolina, a unanimous preseason No. 1 last season that won the national title, was sixth. Purdue, West Virginia, Duke and Tennessee complete the top 10. Copyright 2009 Associated Press.

The last time I tried to board a plane they told me I was too drunk, so I haven't seen the latest Skymall catalog. Apparently the company is really going after people too lazy to sit up. These "Deluxe" Prism Glasses allow you to lie flat and view a book or television by turning the image 90 degrees. They're also supposed to prevent claustrophobia during an MRI. And at only $50 they're practically giving them away. Too bad I invented this years ago. I taped a mirror to my shoe so I could see up the skirts of women on the subway. Pervert? No sir.

I don't know much about women's college basketball (I know who Pat Summitt is, I know that lesbian coach got fired from LSU, I know Tennessee, Connecticut and Duke seem to always win the title and I know the Vols just beat Rutgers 59-46 to win this year's title. If I learned anything new, it would probably push one of those old pieces of information out).
I also don't know much about Rutgers athletics.
But I just learned that Rutgers University athletics, the athletic program that is credited as inventing modern college football, has won an NCAA title once in any sport in its history. That was a fencing title. In 1949. And they shared the title. With Army.
The school no longer participates in collegiate fencing. They do, however, currently participate in football, baseball, basketball, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, swimming, wrestling, volleyball, and that sport from that movie with Arnold and the guy from Family Feud.
Ok, I made that last one up.
But you get the point. All those sports and only one title ever. Sucks to be Rutgers.
Maybe it's because of the nickname. Scarlet Knights? What do you think of when you think of scarlet? Scarlet Letter, Scarlet fever, Scarlet O'Hara. (Also Scarlet Johanssen, but that's just distracting). Doesn't really instill much fear, does it?
So as a public service to Rutgers, and any other university with a "faggy" (as Billy Packer would put it) nickname and mascot, we offer the following potential nicknames to anyone looking to really engender dread in their future opponents:
Rebels Without a Cause
Rock Eaters
Hell's Angels
Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles
Drunken Pacman Joneses
Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Penguin Rapers
Chompin' T. Rexes
Jerry Porter's Dogs
Satan's Army

TabletopGame YMMV main index Narrative
Aeon War Syndrome isn't losing your mind. It's losing your friends. It's losing your family. It's losing whatever hope you might have had left. They say War Is Hell. I've seen hell. This is worse. CthulhuTech is a tabletop roleplaying game that can be described as Neon Genesis Evangelion and the Cthulhu Mythos put into a blender and set to "Speed Whip".The mythos begins when a scientist discovers a Tome of Eldritch Lore ("The Mysteries Within") and uses the information within to create the Dimensional Engine (D-Engine), an infinite-energy Magitek device that draws power from another dimension. Though both the creator and her apprentice were driven insane by the design process, the D-Engine proves to be a remarkable success and soon makes futuristic technologies like Humongous Mecha and Anti Gravity possible.This development does not sit well with the Migou, a local group of Starfish Aliens from Pluto that pride themselves on their complete and utter superiority to mankind. They declare war on Earth, first via the Nazzadi, a cloned puppet race of Proud Warrior Race Guys created from the human genome. After the Nazzadi discover their true origins and defect to the side of humanity, the Migou take to the stage of war personally with their own semi-biological mecha and a perfect form of Brainwashing called "Assimilation". This conflict is known as the Second Arcanotech War, and devastates the Earth.It is now the era of the Aeon War. Humanity has survived the Second Arcanotech War thanks to the totalitarian (but otherwise okay) New Earth Government, but greater threats are stirring under the surface. Various Eldritch Abomination cults are enjoying a resurgence thanks to the development of Functional Magic and are attempting to revive The Old Ones from their slumber. An army of Deep Ones lurk below the waves of the ocean, planning to swarm the land and enslave/transform its people. An avatar of Hastur (He Who Must Not Be Named) has been summoned into the world, organising its crazed devotees into the trigger-happy "Rapine Storm" that threatens to sweep across the world like a plague. And the Migou—stubbornly proud and terrified of the idea that even one of the Old Ones could be awoken—have declared war on everyone.However, all is not completely lost. Realising that they were ill-equipped to fight against all of these threats at the same time, the New Earth Government have been busy creating new weapons to defend the last bastion of humanity: the Engels, a line of Evangelion-esque bio-mechanical super-mecha with apocalyptic firepower and a mind of their own. Meanwhile, there are factions that fight their own shadow wars against the darkness, such as the Eldritch Society and their Tagers, a group of elite agents that have literally fused their bodies with an alien symbiont to gain otherworldly power.And so it begins, in a brave new world that teeters on the brink of complete collapse. You find yourself on the front lines with your futuristic weaponry or otherworldly powers as the only barriers between you and the madness that lies beyond reality. Good luck.The following books are part of the series.

Oncogenic ERBB3 Mutations in Human Cancers Cancer Cell, Volume 23, Issue 5, 13 May 2013, Pages 603-617 Bijay S. Jaiswal, Noelyn M. Kljavin, Eric W.

Stern, Krishnaraj Rajalingam, Gabriele Schaefer, Mark A. Merchant, Mark X. Sliwkowski, Frederic J. de Sauvage and Somasekar Seshagiri Summary The human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family of tyrosine kinases is deregulated in multiple cancers either through amplification, overexpression, or mutation. ERBB3/HER3, the only member with an impaired kinase domain, although amplified or overexpressed in some cancers, has not been reported to carry oncogenic mutations. Here, we report the identification of ERBB3 somatic mutations in ∼11% of colon and gastric cancers. We found that the ERBB3 mutants transformed colonic and breast epithelial cells in a ligand-independent manner. However, the mutant ERBB3 oncogenic activity was dependent on kinase-active ERBB2. Furthermore, we found that anti-ERBB antibodies and small molecule inhibitors effectively blocked mutant ERBB3-mediated oncogenic signaling and disease progression in vivo.

erbb3 and erbb2 Are Essential for Schwann Cell Migration and Myelination in Zebrafish Current Biology, Volume 15, Issue 6, 29 March 2005, Pages 513-524 David A. Lyons, Hans-Martin Pogoda, Matthew G. Voas, Ian G. Woods, Brianne Diamond, Rebecca Nix, Naomi Arana, Jennifer Jacobs and William S. Talbot Summary Background: Myelin is critical for efficient axonal conduction in the vertebrate nervous system. Neuregulin (Nrg) ligands and their ErbB receptors are required for the development of Schwann cells, the glial cells that form myelin in the peripheral nervous system. Previous studies have not determined whether Nrg-ErbB signaling is essential in vivo for Schwann cell fate specification, proliferation, survival, migration, or the onset of myelination.Results: In genetic screens for mutants with disruptions in myelinated nerves, we identified mutations in erbb3 and erbb2, which together encode a heteromeric tyrosine kinase receptor for Neuregulin ligands. Phenotypic analysis shows that both genes are essential for development of Schwann cells. BrdU-incorporation studies and time-lapse analysis reveal that Schwann cell proliferation and migration, but not survival, are disrupted in erbb3 mutants. We show that Schwann cells can migrate in the absence of DNA replication. This uncoupling of proliferation and migration indicates that erbb gene function is required independently for these two processes. Pharmacological inhibition of ErbB signaling at different stages reveals a continuing requirement for ErbB function during migration and also provides evidence that ErbB signaling is required after migration for proliferation and the terminal differentiation of myelinating Schwann cells.Conclusions: These results provide in vivo evidence that Neuregulin-ErbB signaling is essential for directed Schwann cell migration and demonstrate that this pathway is also required for the onset of myelination in postmigratory Schwann cells.

Lethal Contractural Syndrome Type 3 (LCCS3) Is Caused by a Mutation in PIP5K1C, Which Encodes PIPKIγ of the Phophatidylinsitol Pathway The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 81, Issue 3, 1 September 2007, Pages 530-539 Ginat Narkis, Rivka Ofir, Daniella Landau, Esther Manor, Micha Volokita, Relly Hershkowitz, Khalil Elbedour and Ohad S. Birk Abstract Lethal congenital contractural syndrome (LCCS) is a severe form of arthrogryposis. To date, two autosomal recessive forms of the disease (LCCS and LCCS2) have been described and mapped to chromosomes 9q34 and 12q13, respectively. We now describe a third LCCS phenotype (LCCS3)—similar to LCCS2 yet without neurogenic bladder. Using 10K single-nucleotide–polymorphism arrays, we mapped the disease-associated gene to 8.8 Mb on chromosome 19p13. Further analysis using microsatallite markers narrowed the locus to a 3.4-Mb region harboring 120 genes. Of these genes, 30 candidates were sequenced, which identified a single homozygous mutation in PIP5K1C. PIP5K1C encodes phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase, type I, gamma (PIPKIγ), an enzyme that phophorylates phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate to generate phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). We demonstrate that the mutation causes substitution of aspartic acid with asparagine at amino acid 253 (D253N), abrogating the kinase activity of PIPKIγ. Thus, a defect in the phosphatidylinositol pathway leading to a decrease in synthesis of PIP2, a molecule active in endocytosis of synaptic vesicle proteins, culminates in lethal congenital arthrogryposis.

Lethal congenital contractural syndrome type 2 (LCCS2) is an autosomal recessive neurogenic form of arthrogryposis that is associated with atrophy of the anterior horn of the spinal cord. We previously mapped LCCS2 to 6.4 Mb on chromosome 12q13 and have now narrowed the locus to 4.6 Mb. We show that the disease is caused by aberrant splicing of ERBB3, which leads to a predicted truncated protein. ERBB3 (Her3), an activator of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt pathway—regulating cell survival and vesicle trafficking—is essential for the generation of precursors of Schwann cells that normally accompany peripheral axons of motor neurons. Gain-of-function mutations in members of the epidermal growth-factor tyrosine kinase–receptor family have been associated with predilection to cancer. This is the first report of a human phenotype resulting from loss of function of a member of this group.
