Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.
Looking today at week-over-week shares outstanding changes among the universe of ETFs covered at ETF Channel, one standout is the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) where we have detected an approximate $107.2 million dollar inflow -- that's a 4.1% increase week over week in outstanding units (from 88,300,016 to 91,950,016). Among the largest underlying components of XHB, in trading today Tempur-Pedic International Inc (TPX) is down about 0.3%, Mohawk Industries, Inc. (MHK) is trading flat, and Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc (LL) is up by about 0.3%. For a complete list of holdings, visit the XHB Holdings page �
The chart below shows the one year price performance of XHB, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, XHB's low point in its 52 week range is $18.93 per share, with $29.98 as the 52 week high point � that compares with a last trade of $29.67. Comparing the most recent share price to the 200 day moving average can also be a useful technical analysis technique -- learn more about the 200 day moving average �.

Huh? For UNC Athletics, the pot of boiling water included Marvin Austin, Greg […]

BobLee: The Reason For The Rings
September 23, 2013 at 8:51 amLarry Fedora's decision to give out rings for last season's unofficial division co-championship was roundly poo-pooed and ridiculed.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

I have had a camera in my hand since the late sixties! Recently someone looked at a photo display I had in a coffee shop and got goose bumps. All I try to do is to capture various aspects of God's amazing creation and let you also enjoy what I am seeing! If you get goose bumps, that's great. But remember I only capture what he created. He creates, I capture, we enjoy.

Thanks Phil! We are on the mainland in the NW for 3 weeks to see family and friends and to get a good does of cold. It's rather chilly in the Seattle area, but tomorrow we go to my mother-in-law's where it will never hit freezing and there is over 2 feet of snow on the ground right now. I took this shot on our way home from Palau last summer.

Career opportunities exist in... hospitals, rehabilitation centers, pediatric facilities, private practice, research, industry, sports medicine, school systems, nursing homes, and other health care settings. In addition to completing an academic major... each student must complete the Wilkes Pre-Physical Therapy Core, which provides a base from which students can structure their classes.
There are no universal prerequisite courses for all physical therapy programs so students must consult the school(s) to which they plan to apply to be sure to fulfill the necessary prerequisites.

Gender, Culture, and Mathematics Performance: Disparity Not Innate Ability to Blame
"If you provide females with more educational opportunities and more job opportunities in fields that require advanced knowledge of math, you're going to find more women learning and performing very well in mathematics," says Professor Mertz of UW-Madison, co-author of a recent study that concluded that gender disparity and sociocultural factors impact the STEM landscape worldwide. more

A cable that plugs in, in either orientation to the port!?!? A warning.
Without modifying the connector, a Thunderbolt cable cannot be inserted incorrectly. Are you using an Apple branded cable?
Like (0)
"Without modifying the connector, a Thunderbolt cable cannot be inserted incorrectly."
This is not a true statement, which was the point of my post. Unlike USB, firewire, etc, a thunderbolt cable CAN be inserted incorrectly with minimal effort. I tried to make it clear, I have been doing this for a very long time and this is what really happened.
The cable I'm refering to is built into my Thunderbolt display and I'm connecting to an 11" macbook air. I didn't hammer the cable into the port. I inserted the cable with normal pressure and at a normal angle.
I'm just trying to give everyone a heads up to a possible problem. If your display, or other thunderbolt peripheral doesn't work, here's one more thing to troubleshoot.
Like (0)
The Thunderbolt connector is based on the Mini DisplayPort. Just like the Mini DisplayPort connector, two edges of the Thunderbolt connector and receptacle are chamfered. This makes it similar to any other connector (i.e. USB) where it can only be put in one direction. I would recommend inspecting your cable and receptacle for defects, or, if possible, take your system to an Apple Store where they can inspect your system for defects.
Like (0)
Why do you keep implying that I'm wrong or don't know what I'm talking about? There is nothing you have said that I don't already know.
I know how plugs work and how to plug them and how they're designed. The thunderbolt port is NOT as assymetrical as a usb port or firewire port, and a thunderbolt cable CAN be plugged in incorrectly.
To insist that what I'm saying can't happen is nonsensical and counter-productive to anyone who may have the same issue.

Is it possible for you to post pictures of the cable connected in both orientations?

10 Fabulous Flats for Fall
Fall shoes are FABULOUS this season! A huge Fall-shoe-trend right now is FLATS.
Flats are everywhere and they are absolutely gorgeous. It's all about color and texture and embellishments. Being 5 feet tall (yes, an even 5 feet) I have always gravitated towards heels. I always felt flats would make me look, well... shorter. But with the trend the way it is right now, I thought I would try it. I kept seeing the most amazing different styles and I felt I needed to include this flat trend into my shoe arsenal. Let me just say, I love them! They go with everything - jeans, leggings, dress pants, skirts and even shorts.
Here are 10 pairs of FABULOUS Fall Flats that I am just ga-ga over. There's something for everyone in this bunch - if you're looking for comfort, if you're looking for some fun, if you're looking for something classic and basic, or if you're looking for something a little wild, you'll find it.
GAP's Herringbone bow Ballet Flats - Preppy, trendy and chic. Pair with jeans or black pants.
J.Jill's Everyday Ballet Flat - Cozy and comfy, like wearing a pair of slippers. Lounge around in these flats everywhere.
Piperlime's Calvin Klein MacKenzi - Beautiful statment of a flat with beaded pom pom. These could be worn with leggings, jeans, pencil skirts or dress pants.
Famous Footwear Nickels Women's Taxi - Bold and red. These are the perfect shoes to announce, "I'm here, I'm confident and I'm ready to go!"
Banana Republic Nayla Ruffle Flat - My personal favorite! Ruffles are such a huge trend this season, it's beautiful (and such a treat!) to see it reflected through these magnificent flats.
Payless Zac&Zoe Snapdragon Ballet Flat - Made of organic cotton, you will love these eco-friendly ballet flats. These go with anything, my preference... a long dress or leggings.
Sears Gola Women's Iris - Blue Multi - Fun and fabulous! This fun flat should be worn with a monochromatic outfit - all black, all creams, all neutrals.
Forever 21 Gingham Check Flats - These exude "laid-backness" to me. The perfect flat to slip on during the cooler months ahead. Love the bold colors!
Steve Madden SNIPP - OK, wild and just FUN! We all need a little bit of that in our lives!
J.Crew Satin Ballet Flats with Contrast Trim - Elegant and classic. These look stunning with black leggings.

"I bought this invitation for my daughter's second birthday. I choose the rounded edges and pearl paper. The card was gorgeous. Everyone complimented on how nice it looked and how perfect it was for her county fair themed birthday party. Very happy with this card, super adorable and playful."
"We recently ordered our 3 year old daughters birthday invitations from Tiny Prints. The party is at a Pony Farm so naturally we chose. 'Just Horsing Around'. They were delivered right on time and they were adorable. The invitation quality is fantastic! The print is good... Cannot complain. Envelopes were superior quality and I do appreciate the fact Tiny Prints were very open with the possibility of extra postage for our envelope size/shape, I'm not sure I would have caught that! They are exactly what I expected! I will most definitely order again in December for our next child's birthday!"
"Beautiful invites. I ordered these for my 3 year old's birthday party. I selected rounded edges for a more customized effect. The cards are vibrant and beautifully done with very nice card stock quality. I love tiny prints. Consistent quality."
"I'm so happy with these invitations. The animals on it are so cute. The paper is really thick. The quality is just great. The delivery was also very quick. I liked how I could write a little note on the back of the card."
"Love this invite, got it for my daughters 1st Birthday Cupcake theme and it was a hit! I just wish it had color on the back as well instead of plain white."

By overcoming France at Berlin's Olympiastadion on Sunday night, Marcello Lippi's Italy have become world champions of the most popular sport on the planet for the fourth time in their history. And in keeping with the greatest stories, they had to overcome adversity before claiming the most coveted prize of all.
In the very arena where Jesse Owens won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games, Lippi guided Italy to the fourth world title in their history and - like Argentina, Germany and Brazil before them - their second since teams began competing for the FIFA World Cup Trophy in 1974.
Rome in 1934, Paris in 1938, Madrid in 1982, Berlin in 2006: four European capitals, and four times now that the Italians have displayed a footballing swagger that has captivated people from all four corners of the globe. Whether or not Italy's brand of football is the best is the subject of much conjecture. Yet, whatever its pros and cons the fact remains that when it comes to the FIFA World Cup, Italy are now the second most successful nation of all time.
Go to the Italy team page
With four world titles to their name, the Azzurri have now claimed one more crown than their proud rivals Germany, whom they vanquished in the closing stages of a splendid semi-final, and more importantly are now just one behind the masterful Brazilians.
This was a victory for traditional football, for a united team driven by an absolute determination to finish the match one goal better off than the opposition, while ideally keeping a clean sheet. In his quest for FIFA World Cup glory Lippi went back to basics, placing the importance of team spirit above all other considerations, as he set out to prove that without camaraderie you achieve nothing.
Anyone who has ever been a footballer or a coach will tell you that getting every member of any squad to pull in the same direction at the same time is no easy task. It requires considerable skill and also a good deal of fortune. All the ingredients may be at your disposal but there are no set recipes or pre-arranged formulae for success. You need to be able to call on all your experience and expertise to blend these various elements together in the right way and hope that everything works out for the best.
A testimony to Lippi's man-management skills is the fact that this victory was achieved without Alessandro Nesta, a player as important to Italy as Michael Ballack is to Germany or Ronaldinho to Brazil. As with all great sides, though, when they were called on to make do without a key player, Italy's class of 2006 were up to the challenge, proving that they were greater than the sum of their constituent parts.
We should also spare a thought for Paolo Maldini, the legendary captain who missed out on the greatest triumph of all. This trophy is also his, as it is Gianluca Pessotto's and all of those Italians who have dedicated their lives to their passion for the game, from the highest echelons of Serie A all the way down to Sunday league football.

This manga, is quite simply, a masterpiece. It's very rare that you will come across a piece of media that can be called that, but still to this day, Sanctuary holds that hefty crown still. Written by Sho Fumimura, better known as Buronson, the creator of Fist of the North Star and other famous works, and illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami.

This is a political strategic mind-battle manga dappled with intrigue, violence and provoking messages to the reader. It doesn't mean this series is something overwhelming and stilted, though. The scope is indeed epic: from one's dignity and pride to ideological inconsistencies and the world peace, - however downright realistic. Pros: Just the right size and pace.

And although I did get some, to the most part it was all so childish and ideal that it lost quickly all seriousness and became mostly lackluster.

ABC News' Amy Robach diagnosed with breast cancer
While Robach was reluctant to get a breast exam in front of millions of viewers last month during the "GMA" October Pink initiative, little did she know how important it would be.
"That day, when I was asked to do something I really didn't want to do, something I had put off for more than a year, I had no way of knowing that I was in a life-or-death situation," she revealed in a blog post.
Weeks later, Robach thought she was going in for follow-up appointment, but it was then when doctors revealed her diagnosis.
Robach considered it virtually impossible for her to have cancer, writing, "I take care of myself and I have very little family history."
As for what's ahead, Robach will go into surgery on Thursday to get a bilateral mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.
"Only then will I know more about what that fight will fully entail, but I am mentally and physically as prepared as anyone can be in this situation," she wrote.
While the shocking news was seemingly hard to take at first, Robach is thankful she got checked and hopes her story inspires all woman to do the same.
"It is the difference between life and death," she wrote.

Jim Dean is coming to NYC and going to bat for Chris Owens
Democracy for NYC and New Democratic Majority, both offshoots of the Howard Dean campaign, endorsed Chris Owens for Congress sometime back. Now Democracy for America is sending the big guns. Jim Dean is coming to NYC to go to bat for Chris.
Jim Dean for Chris Owens:
A DFNYC & NDM event in the East Village, Mon. Aug 28
Jim Dean, Chair of Democracy for America and brother of Howard Dean, will be our featured speaker at an event next Monday, August 28th, at Cinema Classics/Rafifi in the East Village! The Cinema Classics/Rafifi location has been a frequent meeting place of progressive activists since the Dean days. Democracy for NYC and New Democratic Majority are putting together a fun filled evening!
For up-to-the-minute details click here.
More about Chris Owens:
Chris Owens is the only candidate in the CD 11 race to take a stand against big developer money and Ratner's proposed Atlantic Yards Project. Chris is a strong supporter of verified voting and has been actively involved in the movement against the Iraq War since Day 1. Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-California) recently endorsed Chris, stating: "Chris Owens has been the strong voice for an immediate end to U.S. involvement with Iraq and will join the Out of Iraq Caucus here in the House of Representatives," said Waters. "I want fighters beside me here in Washington. I support Chris Owens for Congress because he is a fighter and we need his powerful and progressive voice."

If you can't make the event, you can still show your support for Chris here.

Nice Republican talking point
And THIS is what you see as humor? Sheesh!
As a Democrat I'd think you'd be embracing the Deans who have led the Democrats to record breaking fundraising in practically every state in the Union, led the Democrats to a great victory last year and, if trends continue, are leading the Democrats to a great victory this year.
But some do prefer being the underdogs, I guess. Why else would a Democrat object to the work the Deans have done for the party?

I second that emotion
So far as I can tell, Jim Dean has been up hill and down dale all over the US on behalf of progressive democratic candidates over the last two years. I dont know him well, but he's seemed smart, thoughtful and energetic in our few encounters.
Is there a more focused way to make fun of DFA's candidate picks? Likely there is. Has Jim Dean himself been acting foolishly? Well, I must have missed it.

Tears of a Clown
Millstone: Love the Smokey Robinson reference.
Mole: Can't figure out your enthusiasm for Maxine Waters. Do you think calling the Rodney King riots an uprising serves an educational purpose? Or, perhaps you admire her willingness to always refuse to be supportive of Israel's right to defend herself. I mean, opposing the war should not be the sole criteria to determine whether someone is praise-worthy. Pat Buchanan opposed the war too. So did Bin Laden. Opposition to the war does not render them Barney Frank.

Maxine Waters
Well, the quote was from the DFFNYC press release, not from me directly. I was plugging the event.
Having said that...
I don't agree with Maxine on everything, but I remember her from my California days. She's a good one and her coming to Congress was a big deal. She's been around too long now, perhaps, but she has been a good voice, overall, in Congress and honestly represents those who elected her.
As to the L.A. riots, actually I was there and watched it happen. It was an uprising. People were PISSED! And, with the exception of a few incidents (e.g. Florence and Normandie) the uprising was multiracial on that first night. What might not have been shown nationally was that the crowd trashing the downtown police HQ included whites, Asians, and blacks. It was later, once the asshole police chief made it clear he was abandoning the streets to the riot, that it became a loot-fest.
Out of the riots did come some good. Gang violence went way down after the gangs realized that they were targets of police violence and shouldn't hurt eachother.

Maxine Waters
gatemouth, you say opposing the war should not be the sole criteria of judging a politician, and then you make it clear your primary problem with Maxine Waters is her being weak, in your opinion, on Israel. Just as opposition to the war does not render them Barney Frank, as you said, opposition to the policies of Israel's right wing government does not make one anti-semitic or anti-Israel. There are plenty of jewish voters in her district who support and vote for Maxine Waters, because she is a strong liberal and a great champion of civil rights and social causes.
Maxine Waters has NEVER said Israel doesn't have the right to defend itself. Your saying or implying that is just like Bush saying that one being against the war in Iraq and ANY actions deemed to be "anti-terrorism" is one being against "america being allowed to defend itself" It is misleading, unfair and VERY wrong!
- 0 points
Oh for crying out loud
"Opposing Israel's right to defend itself" my ass.
Waters' offense to Gatemouth is not supporting his preferred candidate, end of story. And if a couple of slurs are needed to advance that particular cause, or the good name of a good man needs to be trashed, well, then that's just what Gatemouth is going to do. "Blood libel", anyone?

Now YOU'RE being "humorless."

Well, it's true
I really do fail to the humor in a barrage of commentary, all of which has as a common thread, and without any substantiating evidence, that Chris is insufficiently 'pro-Israel'. It's been going on for months, and it had better end - right now.

Bouldin: Actually, I'm with the Jewish War Veterans on Pollard; he's a traitor to his country, and he can rot in jail his entire liife as far as I'm concerned. If he loved Israel so much (1)he shoudln't have taken money for his efforts, and (2) he should have renounced his US citizenship and made aliyah. I've heard convincing evidence that Pollard's sentence was disproportionate, and perhaps an injusitce was done, but given his crime, I'm not going to lose any sleep over the fact that some other traitorous scumbag got a shorter sentence than he did; it's maybe #438 on my list of injustices needing righting when I get the time, which I won't. Moreover, I suspect that most of those who do lose sleep over Pollard really believe that he did nothing wrong, which is a concept I find personally repugnant.
- 0 points
In that case, you might want to stop agitating against Chris Owens based on Pollard-esque sentiments, no? Such as your recent remark that you want the next congressman from the 11th to take his cues from Ehud Olmert, for example. I imagine most voters there would disagree with that desire, preferring a congressman who votes their interests.
It does seem that to you, Pollard is at least a role model for legislators. A bit of a bad precedent to set, methinks.

This year marks my seventh Walk to Cure Diabetes in San Diego! Over the years, I have met some amazing people and feel lucky to be part of such a wonderful event. Our JDRF rock star volunteers continue to inspire me to work toward turning Type One in Type None.
My job for the Walk is to raise funds to improve the lives of all people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). The money we raise will help JDRF fund critical research to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people's lives until no one has to fear developing the disease.
During the morning of the Walk to Cure Diabetes, I am busy managing the event and never get the opportunity to actually walk the route. For this reason, I have been eager to complete a race of my own.
So in 2014, I will turn 33 years old and I am challenging myself to complete the San Diego Half Marathon Triple Crown. This is a trio of Southern California half marathons starting with the Carlsbad Half Marathon in January, followed by the La Jolla Half in April, and finally the America's Finest City Half Marathon in August.
As part of the challenge, I will be personally raising funds to support the mission of JDRF which is funding research to deliver a cure for T1D and its complications. At the same time, JDRF is also focused on developing better treatments that will transform the way people with T1D treat the disease today, in order to help them live healthier lives now and in the future. Finally, JDRF also seeks to prevent T1D, to keep future generations from developing the disease.
T1D is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin - a hormone essential to the ability to get energy from food. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and changes life as they know it forever. It cannot be prevented and there is no cure.
Please support me and donate to my Walk/Run fundraising campaign. Your gift will make a difference for millions of people affected by this devastating, life-threatening disease. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible today?
Thank you for your support!

Plans move ahead for downtown mixed-use in Indianapolis
CityWay, a $155 million mixed-use development planned to revitalize Indianapolis' Southeast downtown quadrant, could mean big things for the city's redevelopment. The Indianapolis Star released this interactive map of the project's features, which include a flagship YMCA planned for 2014, 250 apartments, a 209-room hotel, 10 restaurants and shops and land targeted for 400,000 square feet of future development.
As AN reported in August, the project counts Gensler and OZ Architects among its designers. The 14-acre site is near several of Indy's major employers, as well as cultural attractions like Super Bowl locale Lucas Oil Stadium and the cultural trail.
Kimmelman: Have your Prentice and Build It, Too
New York Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman waded into the controversy embroiling Chicago's old Prentice Women's Hospital Wednesday and wound up soliciting a unique solution from Jeanne Gang that has already garnered praise from the coalition of preservationists fighting to save the building from demolition.
Noting the "familiar" tone of the dispute between landowner Northwestern University, who wants to demolish Prentice to make way for up to 500,000 square feet of medical research facilities, and preservationists seeking landmark status for the distinctive 1970s Bertrand Goldberg structure, Kimmelman called for a third approach: incorporate old Prentice into a new design on the site. As the pendulum begins to lean towards demolition, with 42nd ward Alderman Brendan Reilly saying he supports Northwestern's decision, the critic asked Gang what she thought.
AIA to Honor Helmut Jahn with Lifetime Achievement Award
AIA Chicago will honor German-born architect Helmut Jahn later this month with a lifetime achievement award during its Designight event Oct. 26.
Jahn is president and CEO of Murphy/Jahn, a firm with a formidable track record Chicago, including U of C's Mansueto Research Library, O'Hare's United Airlines Terminal and the state of Illinois' Thompson Center. His work in Germany is also extensive, including the well-known Sony Center in Berlin and the Messeturm in Frankfurt.
Jahn will also receive a lifetime achievement award from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat Thursday. AIA's Designight is open to the public. Tickets are available at aiachicago.org or by calling (312) 376-2725.
Event> DLECTRICITY Lights Up Detroit
Not long after the Detroit Design Festival, Detroit's design enthusiasts have another event to celebrate: DLECTRICITY begins today and runs through Saturday.
The "contemporary light art festival" features 35 local, national, and international artists who will illuminate historic structures in Midtown Detroit. Buildings including the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Michigan Science Center, and the Detroit Public Library will become canvases for 3D video mapping, laser displays, and light sculptures.

Minnesota Taps HKS for New Vikings Stadium
Twin Cities sports fans may be most excited about Sunday's victory on the field, but a twinge of that satisfaction could be due to the team's new stadium. Minnesota's Sports Facilities Authority chose HKS architects to design a new home for the NFL's Vikings.
HKS also designed Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and Cowboys Stadium in their home base of Dallas—two of the most high-profile NFL construction projects in recent memory. A decision on the lead contractor for the project has yet to come down, but news of the $975 million stadium's designer is the latest announcement in a long and at-times contentious political process that subsidizes professional sports in Minneapolis.
Face-painted fans turned out to city council meetings as the deal cleared hurdles. With respected stadium architects on board, supporters may anticipate validation for their use of public funds. Those opposed maintain only time will tell, no matter the designer.
Bloomingdale Trail Plans Come Into Focus With New Renderings
Last night, updated plans for Chicago's Bloomingdale Trail were presented at a public meeting—the public session's last chance to comment on the design before final plans are presented this December. The trail is an elevated linear park designed by a team including Collins Engineers, Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, and Frances Whitehead on a former rail viaduct running through Chicago.
AN contributor and sustainable transit enthusiast Steven Vance attended the meeting at the Humboldt Park Field House, recapping the event on the GRID Chicago blog. Among the details confirmed at the meeting, construction is set to begin summer 2013. While the trail will open for bikers and pedestrians in Fall 2014, landscaping and art installations will continue into 2015.
Save Prentice Coalition Delivers Petition to Chicago Mayor's Office
The ongoing saga of Bertrand Goldberg's Old Prentice Women's Hospital continues, with members of the Save Prentice coalition delivering a petition with more than 3,500 signatures Monday to the offices of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Alderman Brendan Reilly, and the Landmarks Commission.
They include Pritzker-winning architects as well as preservationists and ordinary citizens from Chicago and beyond. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks said earlier this month it would take up the issue before the end of their fall session, possibly as early as October 4. Emanuel, Reilly, and the Commission could grant landmark status to the iconic 1975 structure but have so far remained neutral on the issue.
Forest Retreat: Studio Gang Groundbreaking in Kalamazoo
Studio Gang, which recently kicked off the first solo exhibition of their work at the Art Institute of Chicago, will celebrate another opening event next month: the architects' Arcus Center at Kalamazoo College will ceremoniously break ground October 9.
Gently curving wood walls demarcate a 10,000-square-foot space for social justice leadership development in the woods. The structure uses local white cedar, engaging its environment while transparent façade elements honor the building's goal to facilitate conversation. Targeting LEED Gold certification, the project will source sustainably harvested wood for its low-impact, highly insulating structure.

Actually, the big issue, with any person in a medical career, is once you are
, you are screwed. I work as a Nuc Med Technologist and I must immediately report any arrest and I can immediately have my license suspended and/or lifted. Every medical facilty does background checks and, if they see you have been arrested, regardless if you were tried or convicted, they will pass you by for one of the many people out there with no baggage.
The dealership has really screwed with this guy's ability to get/keep his license and to get/keep a job. Has nothing to do with him making less money; it has everything to do with him not being able to work in his field, ever.
Frankly, he should not only get a big,fat check, but the dealership should have to pay to have his record totally expunged and pay for any future legal bills he has to deal with in regards to his illegal arrest. It could be years before all this is cleared up.

on an unrelated note, it's sad that Piazza might not get in even though he hasn't failed a drug test/been linked to the Mitchell Report, especially when one of the biggest witnesses was a former Mets employee, other than somebody seeing acne on his back. He was a great offensive catcher and his defense was surprising undervalued (he couldn't throw anybody out, but he was good in all other aspects of the game)

Bart Bass is Gossip Girl
This is wrong. Bart's secret is that he raped Amira, that is what Chuck is trying to expose. That is why he payed her off with so much money, his secert has nothing to do with gossip girl. Chuck doesn't care about exposing gossip girl, that is nate. Gossip Girl is not reveled till the series finale, and she happens to be Juliet not Bart.
Bart being Gossip Girl is partially what I believe is going to happen.
I think it was ORIGINALLY conceived by Bart, William and members of that Secret Gentlemens club that are also alumni at St Judes and Constance. They hired Diana to operate the site initially because she is good at working in the media. She knows so much about it and she knows when to release and control information that gets sent to her. I think that the operator of the site may have changed at least once and this secret group of older relatives lost control of it. There could possibly have been a change in ownership in 4x03 because the site was down if I remember correctly. If Juliet is not involved in the Ivy/William takedown of Lily then she is definitely involved in the identity of Gossip Girl because Season 4 was her season.
You are right that Juliet is involved in some way, but I don't agree that Bart created the site. If you remeber from past seasons Gossip Girl began when the core cast was Freshman, it began when Serena was wearing a white dress in the rain. They site arose to report around Serena. There was nothing between Bart and Lily then so Bart would have no reason to start the site to report about Serena. I do agree Juilet may have not been her from the beginning becuase it wasn't until Serena's sophmore year that she went to border school and put ben in Prison so Juliet would have no reason to care about Serena Van Der woodson. I think the possibly founders of the site could be Nelly Yuki (why else would they bring her back all season) or William Van Der Woodson.
I don't think Bart created the site, but rather it was a collective idea conceived by him, William and other high power people. I don't think he operated either. I think Diana originally was the operator who received the tips and posted them at the perfect time. Anyone who observes the elite people of this show can see that Serena is the most powerful. She is the centre of them all and the It-girl. They all circle around her. That's why she is Gossip Girl's first target. You control Serena, you control all of them. Hence the focus on her. I also think that the operator has changed at least once so it's not necessarily in control of the parents anymore. I also think that Dan is involved in the identity of Gossip Girl, either directly or indirectly.

Aside from the sound of chew hitting the floor and barkers calling "Peanuts! Popcorn! Ice cream!" and "Cowboy boomerangs!" the crowd of 8,000 is quiet throughout the three-hour show. Even during segments featuring a self-deprecating midget named Charlie Too Tall and an English whip-and-lariat master named Vince Bruce, the audience remains contained, clapping appreciatively when appropriate, critiquing the events when necessary.
"This is serious business for most of us," says Russell Harris, who sports the largest belt buckle ever seen on a living human. "It reminds people of the way life used to be out here -- folks working together, open sky, wild animals. For some kids, this is as close as they'll ever get."

Rain, rain, rain
... where I purchased some new walking boots to replace my 20 year old ones.
Virginie wanted to make the most of the sun that had appeared so she took us on a short walk. We drove 15 mins and walked for just under an hour. Our rest day ended in a walk that was mainly up hill at the end...but Michelle's pace did mean we were going at ...
Walk number two
... around but we found the cross!
Virginie decided that we needed to take a route down that she had never done before! As we descended, the cloud moved and the sun was out...and she was right, there were some fantastic views and we saw some chamonix. Thee were parts of the walk where we were walking along ridges, something that did not agree ...
Walk number one
The weather looked pretty good this morning but we knew there was a threat of some rain so Virginie made the decision that we would just do a mediocre length walk! We set off walking from the chalet, heading for the summit of Col de Maronne and then down via Signal de l'Homme. 5 or so hours later in mountain conditions, the rain certainly came down so we arrived back wet through!
After dinner, our evening entertainment was watching the Life of David Gale. Great film!
Flying out

It hadn't changed since I was last here some 15 years ago! We didn't do much that evening. After some dinner we were not late in bed due to the late finish we had the night ...
Day 11 Geneva to Allevard
After our rest day we were back into the daily routine of wake up early, down to breakfast, back to dress and then drop bags on truck and then find the bike. My bike is looking a little worse for wear after the last 8 days and 650 mostly wet miles. Like a Top Gear challenge I am willing her to make it to the finish. A quick spray of WD40 (gin and tonic for bikes) was greatly appreciated and she rolled ...

Knicks' Toney Douglass resurfaces
Toney Douglas swears he never felt a glimmer of jealousy, not when Jeremy Lin was on the cover of Sports Illustrated — or when Lin was on the cover of Sports Illustrated again.
The out-of-nowhere phenom with the "hard work pays off" story was everywhere, Linsanity outrunning any other star in the NBA. But for Lin to rise, someone had to drop. That is where Douglas comes in.
A key part of last year's squad, Douglas underwent surgery for a torn labrum after the season and spent the summer rehabilitating. The opening day starter at point guard for the Knicks, Douglas wasn't physically ready, lost his job and disappeared. The starter became the backup, then the third-stringer and finally a player that then-head coach Mike D'Antoni commented was the one player with a defined role — without speaking the sad truth, that the role was at the end of the bench, unused and forgotten.
So, much like Lin had in waiting for his chance, Douglas worked. One Knicks official said Douglas always is the first player in the gym, hours before the scheduled start of practice or morning shootarounds, recording countless hours with assistant coach Kenny Atkinson. Like the payoff that came for Lin, Douglas got his chance. While it hardly was a burst of Linsanity, instead going nearly unnoticed, Douglas burst back into the Knicks' consciousness with a 15-point second half Thursday in the win over Orlando.
"I never thought about that," Douglas said of the possibility his chance would not come. "When Jeremy had his Linsanity, I was there for him, I was happy for him. That's my teammate. I would never think in a negative way. We were winning games, he was going good. I was proud of him.
"He's been through a lot, from the D-League, and he took advantage of his opportunity. Hey, you know, still to this day, he's still my teammate. I texted him the other day to see how his surgery went because he is my teammate."
The chance for Douglas came in part because Lin fell back to earth, a torn meniscus ending at least his regular season. With Baron Davis banged up, unable to play major minutes, and Mike Bibby not producing, Mike Woodson turned to Douglas — finally.
"I just take everything in," Douglas said. "I feel like me sitting out has kept me being more healthy. I was working out every day like I was playing, had my routine going, staying ready, because I knew at some point the team was going to need me. I got my opportunity back and I've just got to take advantage of it.
"If I had a 9-to-5 job I'd be doing the same thing, working out early in the morning, weight room, get some shots up, play pick-up ball. I love the game, so it's not hard at all.
"Having this as my job is a blessing. You've got to love it no matter what. You're having ups and downs. It's a business."

I loved the Ice Creame truck as a kid. We could hear the music coming down the street so we'd run inside and ask our parents for money... hoping they'd let us get some. Go running out all excited.... hmmm so many good ones Orange creme pops, Bombsicles, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle ones with the gumballs for eyes... Good stuff I think the guy questioning this needs to spend a week in one of those trucks... (in the Ice cream freezer! That ought to help him "Chill out")
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State, and may her colors ever fly!!! In Accordance with Prophecy
The only ice cream truck I've ever seen was on the 4th of July in Kansas City. We were sitting along side the road with thousands of other people waiting for one of the many fireworks displays. This truck pulls up with its music playing and wouldn't shut up for half an hour. The music finally stopped while the fireworks were going, but when the guy started the truck again the music started up too. Most annoying vehicle I've ever witnessed.
Throwing seven different kinds of smoke!
What's next, are they going to outlaw the Poolmobile too?
If this guy is driving the truck, make sure your kids stay away.
I thought it was a joke when someone told me Des Moines had banned them in the 60s. We had them in Cedar Rapids while I was growing up and during the summer they were awesome. Always had a little money stashed away for the Ninja Turtle treat. I don't remember exactly, but I thought I read that the issue in Des Moines was that a kid ran out in front of a car to get to the ice cream man and died ,and since then its been her parent's mission to keep them from returning. I hate to be crass, but perhaps they should've taught her to look both ways before crossing the street. Additionally, a lesson in causation is certainly in order. The cause of their loss was not the ice cream truck per se, rather their daughter choosing not to use caution when running into the street. A similar incident could've happened had her basketball rolled into the street. Would Des Moines then ban all basketballs?

I just remembered a 3rd ice cream truck which occassionaly came to my neighborhood. It was named "Mr. Feel Good". Originally Posted by ffelknirznarf I used to live in Albany, New York. There were 2 ice cream trucks which came to my neighborhood. They were called "Mr. Ding-A-Ling" and "Mr. Softy".

Just got this e-mail from Lifeproof: Thank you for signing up for the iPhone 5 pre-order list. We know you love your iPhone 5 and want a case that lets you take it everywhere without worrying about drops, scratches, daily living or the elements. Our goal is for you to have your LifeProof Frē case as soon as possible, however, Apple does not share any information prior to their official announcement. We have an army of engineers working 24/7 on three continents, racing to get the case delivered. You may be asking, "Why is LifeProof not yet on the market when other protective cases are?" The answer is simple: LifeProof is the only everyday case that's water proof, dirt proof, snow proof and shock proof − which means we won't design a product with gaping holes over the camera, microphones and speakers just to rush a case out the door. Without these protections, other case makers avoid any technical complexity in getting their cases ready. At LifeProof, we make a promise to our customers to deliver the best case possible, even if it means our case takes a little longer to get to you. Additionally, all LifeProof cases need to pass thorough independent lab testing to meet Military Standards for shock and impact protection, and for IP-68 water, dirt, and snow protection. Our team is working with total dedication and urgency because we believe this is worth getting right. What's more, anyone can build a bulkier case, but we're committed to making our thinnest and lightest case ever. This adds a level of complexity to our case, but our values drive us to deliver only the best. We want you to be thrilled with your LifeProof Frē case for the iPhone 5, and our new iPhone 5 case substantially improves every dimension of experience over our very popular iPhone 4 case. And, we're almost there! We expect to ship our first LifeProof Frē case for iPhone 5 within the month. I thank you for your patience and I'm confident that you will believe the wait was totally worth it once your iPhone 5 is LifeProof. © 2012 LifeProof 15110 Avenue of Science, San Diego, CA 92128 USA Sent from my iPhone 5 using iCafe app
yeah me too How exciting I remember waiting for the 1st case to come out we waited forever as it seemed
Figured quite a few of us got the email but just for those that didn't. Did (do) you like yours? I've yet to have one and am debating. I HATE cases that add too much bulk. I couldn't stand the Otterbox Sent from my iPhone 5 using iCafe app

I love my lifeproof! Don't buy ever at eBay or amazon you'll get the first model. The one I have is easy touch screen touch just like a screen cover and perfect nice slim and protection 100%!

Lifeproof does not cover water damage. Like every other case manufacturer, they warrant their cases only not the device inside.
Just ordered mine. Getting directly from lifeproof. Figure best way to ensure I get the second gen. Did you have one for the 4s? How does it compare?
