- India had a relief rally on Wednesday after the RBi surprised by not hiking rates, but fell anew last night - dropping 0.7% for its 7th decline in 8 sessions.
- Leading among the blue chips were the rate-sensitive stocks, with ICICI (IBN) Bank off 3% and HDFC (HDB) Bank down 2.1%.
- "One of the big questions post Fed's move is whether liquidity will continue flowing to emerging markets like India or not. If rates go up in U.S. then it will be risk for EMs," says Aneesh Srivastava, CIO at IDBI Federal Life Insurance.

- Extrapolating the Fed's more dovish stance to emerging markets, JPMorgan upgrades Turkey (TUR) and Peru (EPU) to overweight, where they'll join Mexico (EWM), Thailand (THD, TTF, TF), The Philippines (EPHE), and Taiwan (EWT).
- "Turkey feels like the tapering trade," says the team. "The suffering this summer turns to euphoria as the Fed returns to dovishness and retreats from tapering."
- Taiwan and Mexico rate an overweight because of their exposure to developed world growth, but what about Korea (EWY, FKO, KORU, KORZ)? Typically, the country belongs in this group, but JPMorgan is cautious on high-end tech and thus on Samsung. Taiwan, on the other hand, should benefit from the growth in low-priced smartphones.
- Moved to underweight are Russia (RSX, ERUS, RBL, RSXJ, RUDR) and Colombia (GXG, COLX, ICOL).
- Top 10 individual stock picks include ICICI Bank (IBN), Southern Copper (SCCO), and Cemex (CX).

- ICICI Bank (IBN -3.9%) and HDFC Bank (HDB -4.4%) tumble after India's new central bank head unexpectedly hikes the benchmark rate to 7.5% from 7.25%, citing the need to bring inflation down. It's the first boost to rates in two years.
- Amid that tightening in policy, however, the bank also eased other restrictive measures put in place over the summer to try and stem the rupee's decline (it's up 8% vs. the dollar in September).
- The Sensex closed down 1.9%.

- For a second straight day, Indian stocks rise sharply — Sensex +2.2% — with banks leading the way, as new RBI governor Raghuram Rajan has apparently managed to instill some confidence in the market. (previous)
- In addition to the creation of inflation indexed savings certificates and the issuance of long-awaited new banking licenses, Rajan will open FX swap lines between banks and the RBI (see diagram) a move BofA says may boost the country's flagging reserves by $10B.
- "This is exactly what the market wanted to hear," one Mumbai-based banker says. Apparently so — shares of India's largest lender HDFC Bank (HDB +7.1%) rose 8% Thursday, fueling what Bloomberg says was the largest rally in the S&P BSE India Bankex index in four years.

- IBN's 2.8% premarket decline comes on the heels of yesterday's 5.7% dive and a 41% fall YTD. The rupee is having its worst session in decades, off nearly 4% vs. the greenback. The Sensex however, managed to reverse a sizable early loss to close slightly in the green.
- The WisdomTree India Earnings Fund (EPI) - not currency-hedged like WisdomTree's popular Japan Hedged Equity Fund - is off 3.2% premarket.
- Another Indian bank traded with reasonable volume here, HDFC Bank Limited (HDB) is off 1.4% premarket.
- Other India equity ETFs: INDY, EPI, PIN, INP, INDA, INXX, SCIF, SCIN, INDL, SMIN.

- The Sensex declined 1.25% overnight after the Reserve Bank of India kept its benchmark rate steady at 7.25% but said it would "forfeit some monetary policy discretion to address external sector concerns." Translation: Slowing inflation and growth might normally lead to easier policy, but the bank is instead focused on supporting the rupee.
- Marketfields' Michael Shaoul notes an Indian small cap index off 27% YTD to a 4-year low is a pretty good gauge of the stress in the domestic economy. An Indian small cap ETF: SCIF -5.3% today.
- Individual stocks: ICICI Bank (IBN -3.3%), Tat Motors (TTM -4.7%), Dr. Reddy's Labs (RDY -4.4%).
- Not bullish on Indian consumer names, Credit Suisse does take a liking to one with U.S. exposure: Wipro (WIT +1.1%).

Mercedes-Benz might have been first with its 1998, body-on-frame, Alabama-built M-class, but it's the BMW X5 of a year later that defined the modern SUV. Built in South Carolina, USA, it was based on a more advanced monocoque and set out the formula of hi-tech, good on-road performance, scant off-road ability and sound dynamics that have become the prerequisites of the class.
These German SUVs might be fraudulent off-roaders (BMW even coined a new acronym for the X5, SAV – Sports Activity Vehicle), with off-road prowess limited to brief forays on grassy fields or traversing high kerbs, but they are what the market wants. The Range Rover Sport attempts to bridge the gap, but few will ever approach that car's capabilities off the beaten track.
So here we are at the third-generation X5, an exemplar of the SUV mein. In the past 14 years BMW has sold 1.3 million X5s and made getting on for £20 billion of profit in the process.
At a whisker over 16ft, the new X5 is longer than the old model. SUVs are never very light, but high-strength steels, an aluminium bonnet, magnesium instrument support and plastic side panels have helped the 2.1-ton X5 diet a little.
We're told the new design is "deliberately evolutionary", though in the process the X5 seems to have evolved into something quite ugly. It is essentially a 5-series on stilts and the first examples looked exactly thus, square set and understated. The Mk2 got simple curves, which retained its strong road presence, but the new car is all over the place. Olivier Heilmer, its designer, had to lengthen the nose to incorporate a pedestrian-impact-friendly pyrotechnic bonnet, which doesn't sit well on the front panel. The grille looks out of proportion, the 20in wheels are lost in the wheel arches and around the inside of the wings are bare bolt heads that would give an Audi designer the vapours.
The cabin, however, retains and strengthens its appeal, with more rear leg room and a larger boot, more versatile seat folding and a standard automatic remote opening tailgate, which split folds like a Range Rover's. Like the last model, a brace of occasional seats in a third row is available as a £1,000 option.
It's the quality of the materials, the design and the build that marks the X5 out, however. I counted nine surface changes between the side window and the door bin. It's not flashy, simply the designers showing off BMW's production prowess. The front seats are capacious, and the Comfort option is more comfortable and supportive than the sports seats. The dashboard, with its simple four-dial instrument binnacle and long, low-centre screen is elegant and informative, although it's complicated; there are 69 buttons, not including the iDrive rotary control or the steering-column stalks.
Back to those options. The £47,895 30d model will account for about 60 per cent of UK sales, but there's a minimum spec that the used market expects. Buyers of new BMWs tend to spend at least 10 per cent of the base price on options and one expert suggested the following are essential for successful X5 used-value maintenance: active security pack including dynamic safety, driving assistant and folding mirrors £1,340; connected drive services £230; cold weather pack including seat and steering-wheel heating £775; dynamic package including 19in wheels; sports transmission, sports leather steering wheel, running boards, electric sports seats, exterior shadowline trim and anthracite headlining £2,795; sports automatic transmission £175; adaptive comfort pack (instead of dynamic pack) £1,495; active steering £895; brushed aluminium trim £295; adaptive headlamps £540; reversing camera £355 with surround view £530; speed limit display £250; and comfort access £765. Phew, that's a £56,840 car. At least BMW throws in the metallic paint for free, although cynics might say that it's most likely factored into the basic price.
Four diesels and one petrol model are available and, for the first time, the X5 is offered with a four-cylinder turbodiesel. This 215bhp 25d is likely to take a quarter of all X5 sales and is offered with four- or rear-wheel drive.
At launch, however, there will be three main engines: a 258bhp 3.0-litre straight-six cylinder 30d, the 376bhp M50 which is a three-stage turbo version of the same engine, and the 443bhp 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol, which barely musters 27mpg in the Combined cycle and for which UK sales can almost be counted on the fingers of one hand. All versions come with BMW's own eight-speed automatic transmission. A plug-in hybrid model, unveiled earlier this month in concept form, will be on sale by 2015.
We only got a choice of the 30d diesel or V8 petrol to drive. If you can stomach its fabulous thirst (27.2mpg, 242g/km) the V8 is a great engine, although the eight-speed 'box seldom lets it lug down the rev range and the gear lever detents are horrible fiddly.
The diesel has had its industrial roar slightly muted and it is refined and powerful, and the eight-speed suits its power delivery well. EU Combined consumption is 45.6mpg, which is better than the equivalent Audi Q7, Mercedes ML and Range Rover Sport. On the road the new X5 makes a big step forward in ride quality. Where the old car felt heavy and slightly unwieldy, the new model carries its mass more lightly. It flows over poor surfaces and the wheels don't crash through potholes quite as much. This is another strange case of a BMW that requires the optional tyres to get the best out of the suspension. No test cars were available with 19in wheels, but the 21in wheels rode and handled a lot better than the 20in option, although that was on a more sophisticated (and expensive) "Dynamic" air suspension with the anti-roll system (one of four separate active suspension options).
As far as the handling is concerned, the X5 instils confidence but not inspiration. It's perfectly safe and supremely secure, but not a vehicle you drive for the hell of it, where you might the Range Rover Sport or (possibly) Porsche's Cayenne. The new electronically-assisted steering is accurate and well weighted but inert. In extremes the chassis rightly understeers, but it doesn't do a whole lot else.
As a competent and comfortable car with all-weather capability, the BMW is still as good as it ever was, but it looks clumsy. From inside that lovely cabin, however, that's not going to matter much.
BMW X5 30d
Tested: 2,993cc, straight-six cylinder turbodiesel, eight-speed automatic transmission driving all four wheels
Price/on sale: Range starts at £42,590. As tested £47,895/December
Power/torque: 254bhp @ 4,000rpm / 413lb ft @ 1,500rpm
Top speed: 142mph
Acceleration: 0-62mph in 6.9sec
Fuel economy: 40.35mpg/45.6mpg (EU Urban/Combined)
CO2 emissions: 162g/km
VED band: G (£175)
Verdict: Really lovely cabin and impressive drivetrain, plus good ride and handling, but the styling of this latest X5 leaves something to be desired
Telegraph rating: Four out of five stars
Audi Q7, from £43,660
Ghastly elephantine lummox, whose only claim to fame is its decent-sized sixth and seventh seats. Often seen outside Premier League club training grounds.
Mercedes-Benz M-class, from £43,870
Much better than it used to be, but the coachwork looks arriviste and the interior a bit gimcrack. The six-cylinder diesel engine is very refined.
Porsche Cayenne, from £47,390
The car that saved Porsche and it's surprisingly good to drive, although clearly no sports car despite the hysterical hyperbole. Beautifully crafted cabin and fine engines.

Anyone interested in learning more about their options for long-term care, including applying for the Family Care benefit, should contact their local Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC). Resource center services are available to everyone, whether or not they are eligible for Family Care or other Medicaid programs.
To be eligible for Family Care a person must have long-term care service needs, be an older adult or an adult with a disability, live in a Family Care county, and meet financial eligibility requirements. Medicaid-eligible individuals automatically meet the financial eligibility criteria for Family Care. Individuals receiving the Family Care benefit may be required to pay a cost share to their Managed Care Organization (MCO).
There are three steps to determine eligibility and enroll in a Family Care MCO. The ADRC helps people with each step.
The ADRC will visit the person and complete the Long-Term Care Functional Screen to assess the individual's level of need for services and functional eligibility for the Family Care benefit. Once the individual's particular needs for long-term care are determined, the ADRC will provide advice about the options available to him or her. Options may include enrollment in Family Care, IRIS or a different long-term care program. Or the person could choose to receive services through the Medicaid fee-for-service system, or to privately pay for services.
If the person is interested in Family Care or another Medicaid program, the ADRC will help the individual contact an income maintenance agency to determine financial eligibility.
Once functional and financial eligibility is established, the ADRC notifies an "enrollment consultant" to contact the person, either by phone or in person. The enrollment consultant makes sure the person understands what it means to become a member of the MCO, and that he or she understands all the options for long-term care available. If the person decides on Family Care, the resource center finishes the enrollment process and notifies the MCO of the enrollment date.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The two leaders of a committee overseeing the state's plan to lower Oklahoma's prison population and violent-crime rate abruptly resigned on Thursday, a day after lawmakers approved legislation backed by Gov. Mary Fallin that they believe sharply undercuts the panel's involvement.
Former Republican House Speaker Kris Steele and Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater resigned as co-chairmen of the Justice Reinvestment Initiative working group during its monthly meeting. The group was formed last year with the governor's approval to oversee the plan's implementation, and it includes legislators, law enforcement leaders and officials from the Department of Corrections and other state agencies.
Both men said they could no longer ask other members to continue serving, pointing to what they said were underhanded attempts by Fallin to kill the plan she approved last year. That includes the House's approval on Wednesday of a bill supported by Fallin that creates a politically appointed panel to replace their committee. Also, the Legislature hasn't yet funded the plan, which outlines ways to keep non-violent offenders out of prison and other programs.
"When I see anyone, including the governor's office, playing games with public safety and the safety of our citizens, I get very angry about it," Prater told The Associated Press after the meeting. "I will say that the governor's office has been trying to kill this initiative. Now, since they have complete control over the working group, they will succeed."
Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz said the Republican governor's record shows she supports the Justice Reinvestment Initiative, dubbed the JRI.
"The governor campaigned on JRI and smart crime initiatives," Weintz said. "We are currently pushing for a bill to create a new JRI committee that has more authority and more involvement in implementation."
Last year while House speaker, Steele championed the effort. It began as a collaboration with the Council of State Governments Justice Center and other groups to reduce the strain on Oklahoma's overfilled justice system. The final proposal, signed by Fallin last May, aimed to redirect nonviolent offenders toward treatment instead of jail, prevent re-offending by supervising released prisoners and, ultimately, lower the state's persistently high crime rate and save taxpayer money.
But a budget-conscious Legislature has not yet funded the plan, and last month Fallin rejected federal money meant to pay for the initiative's training, saying the state could pay for it alone. Steele disputed that the state could pay for it and pegged the amount lost at more than $300,000.
"We're talking about bringing the various groups together," he said in an interview Thursday. "It's not just the dollar amount. It's the expertise that goes along with the dollar amount."
The plan has brought its own internal frustrations, which were on display during the working group's meeting Thursday.
Members reported that a $2 million grant program to support local law enforcement had received just two applications since January; however, the program hasn't been funded yet. Another program to reroute people who violate parole to treatment instead of jail has only a few dozen candidates, hampered by sentencing documents that take weeks to arrive at jails. And a mental health and substance abuse screening program has diverted less than two dozen people from jail time.
Steve Mullins, Fallin's general counsel, told the committee they didn't have the power to fix those problems and a political committee would.
"We love this group. This group is wonderful," he said, to tittering from around the room. "But to simply say that this committee can achieve those outcomes is misleading. This committee cannot."
Steele sharply disagreed, saying the committee was meant to foster communication and troubleshooting that a political committee couldn't match.
"That's what this committee is for, and it requires that sort of multiple-disciplinary discussion and representation to figure out these issues," he said. "My greatest hope would be that the governor and the various state leaders do follow through and that this initiative is implemented."

In the wake of a criminal investigation in which he allegedly was blackmailed and accused of engaging in a sexual affair with a woman during work hours, a city codes enforcement officer resigned Thursday, putting additional stress on a department that remains understaffed and must handle the inspection of a city of 30,000 people.
Ousted officer Charles Wentzell was asked to resign and voluntarily stepped down after three years of employment, according to city Codes Administrator Joseph Gerardi, who said that losing an otherwise "good employee with a positive attitude who went down the wrong road," will pinch his department this summer.
According to city police, on Jan. 28, Wentzell went to 325 Rural Ave. three times in his function as a codes officer. One of the residents of the structure was Kimberly Carol Hilfirty, 47, and a relationship developed between the two.
The code violation was a report of excessive cat litter and feces and hoarding, police said.
Hilfirty and Wentzell would meet occasionally by accident and exchange pleasantries, police said.
Earlier this month, Hilfirty met with Wentzell at her place of employment downtown and soon after the alleged extortion took place, police said.
Gerardi said the codes department already has one position it must fill part-time due to another code officer's extended illness and medical leave. "We will hire for filling a vacancy and readvertise for Wentzell's position," he said.
Gerardi said the investigation doesn't changed his or his staff's approach.
"Hopefully," he said, "the public will understand and go on and (let us) do our job." But it's going to take a toll, at least temporarily on those filling out inspection forms, doing site inspections, checking on code violations and other duties.
Gerardi said he will ask for assistance from zoning officer Gary Knarr and said he also will pick up some slack.
Gerardi said he is hopeful residents understand if they place a complaint why the department might not be able to immediately respond.

America's capital wants you to know where you are, and the city goes all out to impress in terms of grandeur and size. Drama and scandal bubble under the surface while the streets are abuzz with hip and happening events, museums, restaurants and clubs around every corner. The principles of Equality, Justice, Life and Liberty are still upheld, but DC is, above all, a trendy and international town. Facts Population 581,000 Currency US Dollar, $1 = 100 cents Opening hours General opening hours for shops are 10am-7pm/9pm Monday-Saturday. Noon-5pm/6pm Sunday. Some shops are closed on Sundays. Newspapers Publications: The Washington Post The Washington City Paper On Tap (free) Georgetown Independent Tourist information DC Chamber of Commerce Information Center Address: 1300 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Ronald Reagan Building Opening hours: Monday to Friday 9am to 4:30 pm, closed on Saturday and Sunday. Washington is a city of contrasts. While it might be best recognized in its political role, DC wants the world to know that it has much more to offer than governmental gossip and diplomatic deals. Divided into districts, each neighbourhood represents another distinct feature that adds to the diverse characteristics breathing life into the city. While isolated Georgetown is bustling with new, trendy boutiques and restaurants, Shaw, once the site of racial tension and riot, is undergoing a revitalization program to make it a hot destination for African-American heritage tours. Downtown might offer theatres, galleries and the best Chinese food in the Chinatown restaurants, while the New U district, where Duke Ellington once played, is the in vogue neighborhood for hearing live music. And amid all this, let's not forget the political and military monuments and memorials along the National Mall. It is in this area that you'll also find the wonderful Smithsonian complex of museums. The city is a melting pot of cultures and communities, which have a fantastic influence on restaurants in particular.

Healthcare Funding Options for Securing Large Capital
With borrowing, generally, the overall interest rate on direct bank loans is competitive when compared to public debt issuance levels. The interest rate varies with the borrower's creditworthiness and the credit spread. Hospitals have become more strategic about their borrowing approach, Hesselmann says, with more willingness to access lower-cost medium-term financing options, as opposed to longer-term borrowing for short term-needs.
In addition, cost savings from focusing on efficiency gains in the revenue cycle are getting more attention than ever. "Where we are having more conversations is as it relates to counseling clients on creating efficiency through treasury solutions, going end-to-end through the payment mechanism, and accelerating the receipt of cash and optimizing the back end by using the products that do that," Hesselmann says.
To gain savings within their true financial picture, hospitals are focusing on improvement in the revenue cycle, striving to reconcile their claims data with their reimbursement payment dollars to the highest automated degree possible, he adds.
Deciding which capital lending approach to take is individual to the organization and the project, says Glenning.
"There's no system that's grown significantly without a trail of tears in the learning process," says Glenning. "For those who want to avoid that, my best advice is to figure out what's important to your organization's core mission. For us it was our academic and tertiary service. … Investing in a community hospital was a way to ensure that goal, and this joint venture was the way to do it."

Giant Cell Tumor of Tendon Sheath involving the extensor tendon of the 2nd digit of the hand, also referred to as localized nodular tenosynovitis. Pathologically, the tissue is identical to PVNS. Lesions contain histiocyte-like multinucleated cells and fibroblastic cells. Frequently, they contain hemosiderin deposits.
Calcium hydroxyapatite deposition disease.
Sciatic nerve stump neuroma.
Foreign bodies.
Paralabral cyst extending posteriorly and impinging the sciatic nerve.
Post-traumatic seroma interposed between the medial gastrocnemius and soleus muscles following partial medial gastrocnemius tear. Ultrasound-guided seroma aspiration may allow prompt resolution of symptoms and rapid improvement in patient mobility. The use of ultrasound during these procedures allows safe and accurate needle placement and ensures complete evacuation of the fluid collection.
Immediately following aspiration of the ganglion cyst, the patient was able to painlessly perform the ballet maneuvers and great toe flexion that had previously elicited discomfort. As clinically indicated, cortisone injection into the ganglion could also be performed at the time of the initial cyst aspiration. Due to the relatively high recurrence rate of ganglion cysts, the patient will be monitored clinically for evidence of symptom recurrence.
Osgood-Schlatter Disease.
Moderately differentiated mucin-secreting adenocarcinoma, consistent with a pulmonary origin. This matched the previous pathology of the patient's primary lung tumor.
Peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the ulnar nerve.
Congenital Muscular Torticollis.
Based on the clinical presentation, the diagnosis of meralgia paresthetica was considered most likely. Ultrasound evaluation of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve was requested with peri-neural anesthetic injection to confirm the diagnosis.
Calcific tendinosis of the proximal hamstring tendons.
Infected Olecranon Bursitis.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome secondary to tibial nerve compression from a perineural ganglion cyst.
Treatment of choice is ultrasound-guided aspiration of the cyst with resulting nerve decompression.
Ganglion Cyst.
Spinoglenoid notch cyst causing denervation atrophy and fatty replacement of the infraspinatus muscle.
Partial thickness ear of the proximal patellar tendon.
Nodular Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis arising from the lateral tibiotalar joint.
Myxomatous tumors of the soft tissues are a heterogeneous group of lesions, both benign and malignant, that show an overproduction of mucopolysaccharide substances. Characterized by a mixture of primitive mesenchymal cells and myxomatous stroma.
Following the ultrasound-guided aspiration of the paralabral cyst compressing the femoral nerve, the patient experienced symptomatic relief of her femoral nerve symptoms.
Calcific tendinosis of the long head of the rectus femoris tendon at the Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine
Epidermoid inclusion cyst.
Giant cell tumor with ABC formation.
Sindig-Larson-Johansson syndrome.
Right rectus abdominus hypertrophy with strain common in tennis players.
Traumatic peroneus brevis tear status post ultrasound guided PRP injection with healing response.
Glomus tumor of the terminal tuft.
Lateral epicondylitis with deep surface tear of extensor tendon origin/lateral collateral ligament with seroma formation.Ultrasound guided seroma aspiration and platlet rich plasma injection.

APC, Stulz, Data Aire... All are inferior to Liebert in my opinion. Also, in-row cooling designs are the way to go. LIEBERT IS THE CADILLAC OF CRITICAL ROOM COOLING!
410a systems are even more prone to clogging LL driers.
May have got away with it using 22, but never with 410 & POE oil. We fix a lot of these after poor install. Purge with nitro during all pipe work. Triple evac & use ACCURATE micron gauge. ONLY 2 things are meant to be in a working refrigeration system.....refrigerant & oil!

A day at the Fort Wanye Children Zoo the summer 1994. It was very hot out that summer must of the family were there. We went to the outback part of the zoo. Where we talked my husband Randy Bookmiller and my brother Dan McMaken to dress up like Indiana Jones. It took them awhile to get the outfits on Randy's jacket was to small. He tried but it almost got stuck on him. So we told him just put it over you so it looks like its on. We took lots of pictures just to make them stay longer in the outfits remember it was very hot that summer!

Siapa nih yang mau menerjemahkan? Pod-rock? Ali? Gw rada geuleuh sama si Lisa, yang ternyata doyan ngesex sama imam mesjid di mesjid, padahal sang imam udah punya bini dan banyak anak. Weleeehhh.... mualaf jahanam, imam keparat, mesjid celaka!

Let's go back to the beginning, because there is a far darker aspect to this story. The day I became a Muslim, I spoke for quite a while to the imam who had converted me, discussing Islam, my life situation, and other subjects. He was a tall and rather heavy man, originally from Jordan, and he seemed quite genuinely interested in me. Along with writing me a certificate of conversion that first day, he also gave me a check for a hundred and fifty dollars (as I recall), since I'd mentioned how broke I was. I stayed until after the evening prayer, when he offered to take me home in his car. I accepted gratefully; it seemed a lot better than taking the bus and walking home in the dark. We spoke some more about my life and the possible problems I might have with my family over my conversion, and he dropped me off about a block from where I lived so that they wouldn't see him.
The next day, I returned to the mosque, and he and I were able to talk a little more. He seemed to really like me, I thought; he was always happy to listen to my problems and give advice. Noor, the young niqab-wearing woman, was also friendly and helpful to me. We discussed all sorts of things, and she even took me shopping for some new, more modest clothes, since my wardrobe consisted mostly of shorts and shortsleeved shirts, which just wouldn't do for a Muslim woman.
The imam took me home again that night, picking me up at a bus stop some distance away from the mosque so that nobody would see us together, I supposed. I remember he told me at some point during the drive home, "You need someone to take care of you." I didn't disagree.
This continued for the rest of that week—I would spend much of the day at the mosque, occasionally punctuated by my classes at the community college, and speak with the imam and Noor about what was going on, about Islam, and so on. He drove me home a couple more times, and one time I distinctly remember him kissing my hand as I left. I also remember sometime that week, while I was at the mosque, I became overwhelmed with feelings of depression and began to cry, and the imam took me into his office and talked to me for a little while.
Then he suggested we go for a drive. I agreed. We went to an empty house that the mosque owned, which was located on a large lot at some distance from the main road. The mosque was planning to use the land for a school at some point in the future, and that's why the imam had the keys to the place. We got out of the car and walked around the yard for a while, speaking together a little bit, before getting back in the car and heading back to the mosque. On some semiconscious level, it occurred to me that perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to be going to a deserted location with a man I didn't know very well, one so much older than I was, but I was hopelessly naïve. I may have been twenty-four years old, yet emotionally I felt eighteen, perhaps younger. This man was a respected imam, after all—what could I fear from him? He had a wife and three children, all of whom I'd met or at least seen, and they seemed to be a very nice, happy family.
We visited the house again the next day—I'm not sure why—and this time things were different. I remember sitting on the carpet in the empty living room with him and listening to him as he told me about the problems he was having. Since he was so eager to help me, I told him a little bit more about my own problems; we stood up to go, and he began to hug me. As he held me tightly, I could feel the unmistakable hardness of his erection against my thigh. He kissed me and asked me how I played with myself. I couldn't answer; I was simultaneously frightened to death and, strangely, a bit excited. He asked me if I wanted to see "it," and when I didn't say no, he took me into one of the bedrooms off the main hall, sat down, unzipped his fly, and began masturbating furiously. I don't know why I didn't run. Instead, I sat there watching, fascinated and disgusted at the same time, and when he finished we left. I have no idea what the hell was going through my mind the next day, because I not only returned to the mosque, I also went back to the house with the imam and let him touch my body any way he wanted. I think I wanted to know what "it" was like. I'd never been with a man before and was insatiably curious about everything to do with sex. I was also very lonely, and the fact that this man was actually taking an interest in me seemed too good to be true. I do remember feeling awful about the fact that he was married and that all of this was completely forbidden under Islam, but I just couldn't seem to stop myself. I wasn't thinking rationally; I was probably just so desperate for somebody to care about me and talk to me that I threw all my inhibitions and morals out the window, even though this meant transgressing everything my newfound faith taught.
We fell into the habit of going out to the house almost every day during the afternoon, and these visits became more and more intense. We would engage in various forms of feverish foreplay before having to go back to the mosque an hour or two later, in time for the sunset prayer. Anything was fair game, other than actual vaginal intercourse. This way, I realized later, the imam could avoid the guilt of actually committing adultery, while getting as much as possible out of my "favors."
This was, as we both knew implicitly, an untenable state of affairs. Something would have to give. Fortunately for the imam, he had the perfect "Islamically acceptable" solution in mind, and it wouldn't take him long to put it into effect. It was a decision that I would come to regret enormously, but as it turned out, it was only the beginning of my destructive experience with Islam. Things were about to take a new and queasy turn, one that would lead me to the depths of despair, agony, and humiliation before I finally found the way out to physical and mental freedom.

Catholic Church Visits High Schools to Speak Against Gay Marriage
Wow. The work that the Minnesota Archdiocese is doing to make sure this amendment passes this fall is just sad. Now they're visiting school-aged children to talk about marriage and why same-sex marriage is so dangerous to society. The Catholic Church is apparently hitting up anyone that may be able to vote, or have the ability to influence parents, this fall.
Apparently, the talk at DeLaSalle did not go well. It ended with kids arguing with the presenters (a priest and married heterosexual couple) and providing them with some historical information on being gay. One student held up a sign saying that she loves her gay moms. Others were reduced to tears.
I've said it before (1, 2, 3, 4), I'll say it again and again, this assault from the Catholic Church has to stop. From sending out DVDs to telling their own priests to shut up about the issue or face being dismissed, the hatred the Catholic Church is spreading is ridiculous. I just wish there was something to do about this… I feel so helpless in only using my words.

Disneyland has precautionary measures in place if there ever was an earthquake. Today after the 7.2 Earthquake that hit the Baja Mexico but could be felt very well in downtown Los Angeles, was the real deal.
The local television news station ABC7 says that the Disneyland security has shut down the park and there are people stuck in elevators. Here is what was put on Twitter only minutes ago.
'BREAKING: Disneyland security reports that all rides are shut down and some people are trapped in elevators after the quake.'
Disneyland prepares for this type of situation and so does Disneyland security. While nobody ever wants to be stuck in an elevator, officials know exactly what to do to help individuals.
The media are reminding everyone not to use up all their time on the cell phones. Instead use your text messaging to notify family and friends of your condition while emergency workers use the lines of communications for emergency use.

Wow, that is pretty interesting. But considering the number of things that could go wrong with that much rattle and shake, guess it is a good idea to shut down and inspect.
P.U.S.H.-A mantra MOST will not understand.
Disney rocks, Walt was a genius.
The two parks are now open, however Disneyland is about 50% open. By now everything should be back to normal. Lets hope everything is ok, like the monorail supports and ect.

Steven Meisel
Raised on Long Island, New York, Meisel had parents who were both creative: His mother, Sally, was a singer before she married Lenny Meisel, who worked at London Records. (And his maternal grandfather, Nat Simon, was a composer and lyricist.) His fascination with glamour started at an early age. Escaping into the glossy pages of his mother's fashion magazines, he longed to be part of the world illustrated in Richard Avedon's photographs and was fascinated by the beauty of high society matrons like Gloria Guinness and Babe Paley. When Meisel was about twelve, his cousin, the advertising executive Diane Rothschild, took him on a shoot with fashion photographer Melvin Sokolsky. Meisel recognized the models: "I was obsessed even then,"[2] he later said.
His younger sister, Robin, was his first muse; he did her hair and makeup and then she posed for him. At the High School of Art and Design he began his formal study of fashion illustration, pursuing it further at Parsons School of Design. He hadn't even graduated when he brought his portfolio to James Spina, an art director at Fairchild Publications, who immediately hired him as an illustrator for Women's Wear Daily.
By the early eighties, Meisel felt it was time to move on. He bought a camera. Among the first models to sit for him were the sisters Phoebe and Valerie Cates. His contribution to their portfolios led him to an assignment at Seventeen—and his career as a photographer was launched. Shoots for W, Mademoiselle, and Self soon followed, as editors cottoned to his fresh sense of style, informed by after-hours explorations of the downtown Manhattan punk rock clubs.
His first assignment for Vogue came after he met the Condé Nast editorial director Alexander Liberman, who sent him to Europe to photograph the collections. It was on the streets of Paris, as a photographer without a crew and with only one model, that he began to develop what would become a unique collaborative relationship with his subjects: "He pays attention, and you know that he's really interested in you,"[3] Carolyn Murphy, long a Vogue favorite, told the magazine in 2009.
Aways on the lookout for inspiration in the new and unusual, Meisel began working with Christy Turlington, soon to be a superstar, in 1986; she in turn introduced him to the other two members of the supermodel Trinity, Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell. ("When I met Steven I was struck by his beauty," Naomi would later say, "what a beautiful man, beautiful skin and beautiful cheekbones!"[4]) He made them over, again and again, into countless personalities and guises, from biker chicks clad in leather jackets to bohemian royalty bathed in sequins. His models are always eager to mold themselves to fit his vision. "If he says it's so, it's so," Coco Rocha has acknowledged. "And that makes your career. He's the Godfather of all models."[5]
Meisel's influence has reached beyond fashion into the pop realm. An early example of his many projects with Madonna was the cover for her album Like a Virgin in 1984. Perhaps their most infamous collaboration was the coffee-table photography book Sex, published in 1992.
Not afraid to court controversy—in fact, prone to prodding at convention as often as possible—Meisel revels in pushing social boundaries of sexuality, civility, and politics. In the September 2006 issue of Italian Vogue, he played with the concept of restricted liberties in a post-9/11 America, posing models as terrorists and causing a stir in the press. Still, Meisel claims, he is often misunderstood. "Everybody interprets these things in their own way," he told the culture magazine 032c in 2008, "but it's not my intended meaning. I am simply holding up a mirror."[6]
In 2009, Vogue dedicated its May issue to the photographer, who over the years has become a core cog of its creative machine. The cover, which he shot, featured a bevy of beauties whose careers he helped launch. In her Letter from the Editor, Anna Wintour recalled his auspicious beginnings in the industry, then noted, "What distinguished his work then remains true to this day: his unmatched ability to pick the right girl and mold her into a great model; his intuitive and learned sense of fashion; and his love of picture-making and the history of photography. He's just sensational and has been from day one."[7]
Steven Meisel, in the sixth grade, begins phoning agencies trying to get copies of models' composite cards, and at one point—he later claims—schemes to track down Twiggy, the first supermodel, in the flesh. He lives with his parents, Leonard and Sarah Meisel, on Long Island, not far from Manhattan. Dad is a music promoter, mom a former big-band singer. "In the pictures from his childhood that Steven sent to us," Anna Wintour will later write, "his parents are just gorgeous: His father could be Cary Grant, his mother Amber Valletta. Surely they were a deep influence on his unerring grasp of beauty and style."[8] His maternal grandfather, Nat Simon, is a songwriter whose standard "Poinciana" was a hit for Bing Crosby.
Poses for a yearbook portrait with long hair and a bit of hippie chin stubble.
After graduating from Manhattan's High School of Art and Design, enrolls at Parsons to study fashion illustration.
Becomes an illustrator for Women's Wear Daily.
Receives his first assignment as a photographer for Seventeen magazine.
Shoots his first fashion portfolio for Vogue, in which model Marisa Indri is seen clutching a lamb mid-sprint in a field in Rome.
Designer Stephen Sprouse, a friend, asks Meisel to photograph some clothes. The resulting images help fuel Sprouse's lightening-fast fame.
Does a portrait of Madonna for the cover of her album Like a Virgin. (She will later reveal that they get along well because they're both divas: "Steven, like me, likes to fuck with people."[9])
Begins working with models Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, and Naomi Campbell. Their collaboration is so close, and so extended, that Campbell will later say, "He's like family to me. . . . I've learnt so much from him, about how to be, how to let go, how to let him mould you into being what he wants you to be. I trust him. I feel safe. I know I'm going to love the end result. I mean, it's a big deal to work with Steven Meisel."[10]
Shoots his first cover for Italian Vogue. He will photograph every cover for the next two decades and beyond.
Collaborates with Madonna on the book Sex.
At the Council of Fashion Designers of America awards ceremony, where he is honored, delivers the shortest acceptance speech of the evening: "Thank you very much."[11]
Shoots his first Prada ad campaign. He has photographed every Prada campaign since then.
With Italian Vogue editor Franca Sozzani, organizes an issue of the magazine for which he exclusively photographs black models. "Fashion was much more open in the '70s, and even in the '80s, which is insane," he tells 032c. "Today, it's totally closed down and worse than it has ever been. Look at your ads and you don't see any black girls, maybe once in a blue moon. Look at editorials; once in a while they allow it. . . . It is very disheartening."[12]
Profiled in the May issue of Vogue. "Because he has such a thick outer-borough New York accent," Jonathan Van Meter says of their telephone interview, "I sometimes felt as if I were talking to a cranky but very funny old Jewish grandmother."[13]

In addition, we believe:
The approach of the ELLP firms to audit services addresses each of these areas.
A multidisciplinary approach means audit engagement teams have access to professionals in such areas as forensics, tax, information risk management and valuation, providing them with a broad understanding of an organization, and enabling teams to focus on key areas of risk, adequacy of internal controls, and potential fraud.
Using KPMG's global training platform, the professionals within each of the ELLP firms have access to industry training, technical skill building, and instruction in KPMG's audit methodology.
Recognizing the importance of audit committees, KPMG in Germany established in 2003 the Audit Committee Institute (ACI) to help provide a resource to audit committee members to help them keep pace with evolving business issues related to governance, audit issues, accounting, and financial reporting.
All of the ELLP firms understand the increased regulatory pressures that companies are facing. In 2004, KPMG in the UK launched the 404 Institute to provide a forum where organizations could learn more about the requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, share leading practices, and discuss ways to address the evolution of effective internal controls.
The objective of the ELLP firms is to assist clients in providing credibility and transparency in financial reporting. Each ELLP firm is committed to delivering quality, independent audit reports.
The KPMG Audit Methodology (KAM) is an effective audit methodology that facilitates audit quality. It meets the goal of delivering quality, independent, rigorous audits. Our audit methodology:
ELLP firms utilise technology infrastructures populated with systems and tools that are robust, enabling, and easy to use.
We believe organizational culture has a significant impact on audit quality. Central to our culture are our values and our code of conduct, which are fundamental to how business is done. The ELLP firms understand and value their role in the capital markets and will continually seek to enhance the perception of our profession by supporting our people, strengthening quality, and affirming the importance of trust and integrity.
