Why should I get married? It's just a piece of paper.
Unfortunately, the world is moving further and further away from moral purity and more towards doing what is right in its own eyes. One of the symptoms of this moral decay is the increase in denial of the necessity of marriage.
First of all, we need marriage because God says we should be married. Marriage is not only for the benefit of the couple but also for the children. When a husband and wife are bound by a public promise to stay faithful to each other, to remain dedicated to one another even through sickness and poverty, the marriage bond is a much stronger one; and this is vitally important because marriage is the foundation of society. It is the bedrock of moral development of children and the place where faithfulness and integrity are lived out in the lives of its participants.
If a man and woman live together without the benefit of marriage, they are saying that God is not correct and that marriage is not necessary. If they have children out of wedlock, they are risking the children's moral and emotional health since the children will learn that convenience and self-serving ideals are more important than integrity. They will learn that personal preference is more valuable than the welfare of another. They will learn that selfishness is the model by which to live since the sacrifice of commitment to one person has not been made.
In addition, children need security and instruction. Marriage helps to secure the family bond, thereby providing a more secure environment in which the children may grow so that they might properly learn morality and integrity as they enter into society as adults. After all, those parents who do not value marriage, tend not to value commitment; and children should not be raised where the parents are not committed to each other.
Furthermore, marriage with its promise of fidelity helps to ensure health through the prevention of venereal diseases. Marriage helps to ensure the very sanctity of the spouse-to-spouse relationship since marriage is a public statement of exclusive dedication. This helps to establish a foundation in the relationship where a marriageless, living-together relationship can have no true trust since people are together out of convenience. If it becomes inconvenient, then they can easily break up--children or no children.
Marriage is not just a piece of paper. It is a promise to live together faithfully till death, through thick and thin, and sickness and health; and it is a benefit to the children who are raised in it. Marriage is a blessing from God.

It's all a storyFEAL | 05 Jan 2008
It's all a story. Even this which I am telling you now, it too is a story. Every-thing is a story told by a Great Mystery beyond the grasp of our human mind, for even our humanity is a story told by this Great Mystery.
These are stories also; mathematical stories. Yet even the concept of mathematics is again another story. I would about to say "The truth is we can't get away from telling stories," yet that too is another story. Tricky, isn't it?
Actually it's not that complicated nor tricky. Once one realises the world of things is a story, a kind of a letting go can take place. It's like we can sort of let go of the seriousness of it all, and approach Life from a perspective that is potentially much more at ease with things and especially much more at ease with the unknown, the realm of no-thing–which ordinarily has such a frightful presence in the world of Man.
Because everything is a story there is nothing to believe. There is nothing to disbelieve. We can simply choose what kind of story we wish to tell, and then experience the con-sequence of this story unfolding within our perception. I've noticed that the world of Man reflects many stories on many different dimensions. From one perspective it's an awful story of war, hatred, fanaticism, religious dogmatism, and environmental and ecological destruction, where humankind somehow got it all wrong. There isn't much fun to be had at that level of story telling–it's mostly made up of pain and anguish, although human beings seem to do a pretty good job of hiding that fact from themselves. I know I've played my part in such stories, at one time or another.
From another perspective Life as made manifest here on/in Earth is an exquisitely beautiful affair, of unimaginable intelligence and perfection. There is such bliss to be experienced, such radiance to be lived, and such kindness to be shared, that all beings are simply overflowing with these qualities. Another angle on that story, however, is that despite this story being true most people seem to hide it from themselves. It's awfully silly really, yet I know there's a sound reason for this.
Whenever I am struggling with my circumstances I find it very helpful to pause and ask myself what story I am maintaining in this moment. I invariably find it is my story that is the cause of my pain and whatever suffering I may be experiencing in relationship to that pain. This leaves me with no one to blame, and no one to attack or defend (including myself). It simply leaves me with an opportunity to forgive and in that forgiveness–in that giving up of my story–the opportunity to tell my story anew.
In my story I trust you've enjoyed reading this story which I've now shared with you.

Model #FAV6800AWQ, this top load, high efficiency washer would intermittently display the door lock indicator, but the lid was not locked. Other times one or both of the locks would engage, but the washer would not start a cycle. The problem seemed to have no rhyme or reason for when it would fail, but it seemed to not work more than it did work. The problem wasn't getting any better, so it was time to get a professional to have a look at it.
This particular washer does not use traditional washer parts like a spin basket and agitator, but rather uses a pair of agitation disks in the bottom of a rather large capacity wash basket and tub. These disks will rotate in opposite directions causing the clothes to tumble through the wash water. Must like any other high efficiency washer, this washer uses very little water and relies on tumbling the clothes through this water to saturate the clothes and clean the dirt away. But unlike many of the front load HE washers, this one relied on a rather complex gear case and drive mechanism to operate. It also uses a pair of lid latch assemblies to know when the lid was closed and to keep it locked when in operation.
Because the problem seemed to revolve around the locks, I proceeded to perform the recommended tests as outlined in the machines tech sheet. This enabled me to lock and unlock both of the lock mechanisms to get a feel for how they were operating and see if there was any indication of a problem. After several latching cycles, each lock seemed to engage properly, but I noticed (as did the customer) that the lock light would often times stay illuminated even when the lid was not secured. And a couple of times, I was able to get only one of the locks to disengage while the other remained locked. It became obvious I was dealing more with a latch problem than a control problem since both locks operate off the same wire harness to the control board. With that information, I opened the lid to have a look at the locks.
Each of these locks uses a two way solenoid to actuate the lock pin and has within it, a set of switch contacts to tell the control board the position of each latch. The lock on the left side, also contains a reed switch actuated by a magnet within the lid itself, that tells the control board when the lid was closed. This prevents the lid locks from operating unless the lid is closed. Since both locks seemed to operate, if inconsistently, I decided to take some resistance measurements and ensure the internal switch contacts and the solenoid coils themselves were operating properly. A good way to know you are checking the correct terminals is to use a wiring diagram from the tech sheet, but I prefer to actually open the lock itself so I can visually inspect the contacts as well as make my measurements. Once the cover was removed on the right lock however, I didn't have to go far to find a problem.
The lock housing itself had water leaking from it (go figure, its mounted above the tub) and the switch contacts were visibly oxidized. A multimeter check of the lock confirmed the solenoids were in good shape, but the switch contacts didn't always make a good connection. I attempted to clean each contact and to dry the switch housing, but after installing it back in the top panel, I was still getting less than perfect results. The lock was going to need to be replaced.
With the old right side lock removed, I installed a new lock and connected the wire harness. I also inspected the left side lock to ensure it was at least in better shape than the right. The customer decided to get both locks replaced after I showed him the condition of the contacts. With two new locks and the power back on, I again used the diagnostic mode to test the locks, but this time, they both worked without a problem. The machine was repaired and the customer was ready to get some laundry done.

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — An attorney for a man accused of slaying five members of an Illinois family says someone else is to blame and that his client walked in on the scene of slaughter and had to fight off the killer.
Defense attorney Peter Naylor says his client, Christopher Harris, discovered members of the family dead and then fought and killed the family's 14-year-old son, Dillen Constant.
The killings took place in Beason in 2009.
Naylor says that the family's teenage son had a long history of troubled behavior.
Prosecutors say Harris and his brother broke into the home intending to sexually assault one of the family members and carry out a robbery.
Wednesday's testimony marked the start of Harris' trial. His brother, Jason, is expected to testify in a deal with prosecutors.

What Does Community Building Mean to You?
NLA alum Carol McClain has been able to engage her passion for social issues through her work as an AmeriCorps Vista with Grace Hill Settlement House. Carol chose her work with a College Hill safety committee as her NLA project, and was successful in engaging neighbors and securing a donation of 8,000 fluorescent light bulbs that would increase safety in the neighborhood. "My Vista term is coming to an end soon, but I can honestly say I've been a part of something great," she said. "The NLA changed my whole outlook on what community building and outreach really means."
What Kind of Leader are You?
NLA alum Jennifer Nefzger, operations coordinator with Mission: St. Louis, found that understanding her leadership styles and the styles of others is making a big difference in her work. "Learning my leadership style and strengths has really allowed me to become a stronger leader in my organization and community," she says. "By gaining that understanding and learning how other people may lead, I have been able to work with individuals from our community as they grow into leadership positions. Seeing long-term community members adapting, growing and seeking to make change is exactly how the leadership skills I have developed can be used to effect change in the city."
Building Your Neighborhood Networks
If you've worked on neighborhood projects in St. Louis, chances are that you've met NLA alum George Jones. George is a master at building relationships and learning from other neighborhoods with similar goals. The NLA provided George with an expanded network and new ideas that he could use in his own neighborhood. "I identified my strengths and weaknesses, which allowed me to facilitate a brand new neighborhood organization – "Friends of Clifton Park," he says.
Sometimes You Have to Try a New Approach
NLA Alum Shonette Morgan, of the Wabash Neighborhood Association in Ferguson, has learned that doing the same old thing doesn't necessarily bring results – and sometimes you have to mix things up a little. "From NLA … I learned that strong neighborhoods are the result of good neighbor relations," Morgan says. "For my community, only having neighborhood meetings was not effective at growing and strengthening the neighborhood association and neighbor relations. So, for 2014, I changed my strategy. I am increasing the social events, decreasing the number of meetings, and we created a community garden. My vision is that this will create strong relationships amongst the neighbors."
Building the Confidence to Lead
The Neighborhood Leadership Academy provided NLA alum Judy Ricks, of the O'Fallon Community Organization, Inc., with the experience and the skills to get involved in issues that impact her community. "When I received the call to attend a community forum for the proposed bond issue for the City of St. Louis, I was there, contributed significant ideas for our break-out group discussion, and served as the facilitator of our group," Hicks says. "Prior to the NLA, I would have participated along with everyone else in the group without really engaging others. I am thankful for the opportunity to serve as one of the voices from my community. I am confident, thanks to my training from the NLA, that I will make a difference."
Getting Ready for the Next Step
NLA alum Liz Pund, Executive Director of the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council, used the NLA experience to sharpen her skills and prepare for new leadership roles in her community. "NLA helped me become a more effective force for good in the community by strengthening my community organizing skills, helping me develop my leadership style, and connecting me with a network of people who are trying to make our region a better place," she says. And did that skill-building pay off? "Shortly after graduating from NLA, I stepped up to become the executive director of a community-based nonprofit. In my new role I find myself using my NLA training on an almost daily basis - and I keep my NLA training binder close by for easy access!
Congratulations to the 2013 Neighborhood Leadership Academy Class!

Parting Out, Part Four: How to Sell Car Parts on eBay
After buying a 1992 SC400 to get its suspension for restoring a different car, Murilee Martin set out to make his money back by parting out the 20-year-old luxury car. In this final installment, he sells parts on eBay to see whether it's possible to come out ahead.
By Murilee Martin
In Part 1, we bought a $1000 1992 Lexus SC400 as a project-car suspension donor. In Part 2, we disassembled the car and extracted all the parts that might be worth selling. Part 3 saw the beginning of the Great SC400 Sell-Off, with scrap-metal and Craigslist sales. The largest single source of money from the SC400 part-out project, though, came from sales on eBay Motors. Here's how that part of the process went.

Why I liked this title:
The notion that dogs are man's best friends has never been truer than the touching story of Hachiko. Based on a true story, Hachi and his owner Professor Ueno are both creatures of habit, doing things in a very routine fashion every day. Hachi even goes so far as to see his master off at the train station every morning, go home for a few hours, and then return to greet his master at the station each afternoon. When the Professor doesn't return one afternoon, loyal Hachi still waits and waits... for 10 years! Of course, Hachi has people looking out for him during these years, particularly a young boy and the station master, but no one can fill the shoes of the master he longs to see again.
This quick book is a must-read for animal lovers or anyone looking for a tale of true friendship. While the other characters are fictionalized, Professor Ueno and Hachi were real characters. Another book about Hachi came out the same year as this book. Hachiko: The True Story of a Loyal Dog is done in a picture book format and tells of another young boy's experience with Hachi. Each book shares different details about Hachi, and while I am not sure of all the facts, I prefer Hachiko Waits. The best thing about both books is that they reinforce that animals are sensitive creatures and have feelings just like us.

Boy, 10, robbed in Thorpe St Andrew
Monday, August 20, 2012
A young boy was robbed of his bike and mobile phone in Thorpe St Andrew. It happened on Friday between 5.30pm and 5.45pm near the Fitzmaurice Pavilion in Pound Lane.
The victim, a 10-year-old boy, had been with his brother and a friend when they were approached by two other boys who became aggressive towards them. He ran from the boys and became separated from his brother and friend.
The two boys approached the victim again, punching him in the arm before stealing his Vertigo Rockface mountain bike and Samsung mobile phone.
The suspects were aged between 10 and 15-years-old. One is described as mixed race, wearing a black hooded top with the hood up and grey tracksuit bottoms. The other is described as white with blond hair.
Police are keen to speak to a person who is thought to have intervened earlier when the boys were running from the suspects.

Cops seize stolen cars, parts; owner of tow yard arrested
BY BRIAN SLODYSKO AND STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporters June 27, 2013 1:30AM
Article Extras
Updated: July 30, 2013 8:11AM
About 100 vehicles, new tires and engines "so new you can eat off them" were seized early Thursday from a South Side tow yard whose owner is suspected of trafficking in stolen vehicles and auto parts.
Detectives and a convoy of flatbed tow trucks descended on the gravel lot at 64th and Bell on Wednesday night to begin removing the vehicles.
Among those vehicles confirmed stolen was a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am taken during an armed robbery and carjacking Monday morning on the South Side, as well as a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu reported stolen Sunday, police said.
The tow trucks worked into the morning hours, bringing the vehicles to a police lot where detectives will continue their investigation, police said.
As of Thursday afternoon, investigators confirmed 10 pieces of stolen equipment, including cars, a tow truck and two construction trailers.
The owner of the tow yard, who police said was able to supply titles for only five vehicles, was arrested and taken to the Chicago Lawn district station, police said. No charges had been filed by Thursday afternoon.
As tow trucks rumbled in and out of the lot, "Frank" thumbed through car titles, like he was counting $100 bills.
"It's not a chop shop," said the man who identified himself as the brother of the owner and would only give his first name.
If his brother had been running a chop shop, he'd have had tarps to cover the stolen vehicles, Frank said.
"We ain't got no tarps to be chopping up no cars," said Frank, a beefy guy with tattoos scrawled on his arms. "It's a misunderstanding."
To prove it, Frank pulled out the car titles — 20 or so, but he was working on finding a few dozen more, he said.
He said his brother runs a legitimate business called "Little Ray's Towing." The sprawling lot ringed with rusting cyclone fencing holds vehicles that are insured and are towed there after accidents — at the request of the owners, Frank said. Insurance companies then come to inspect them for claim purposes, he said.
But a spokeswoman for the city's Department of Business Affairs & Consumer Protection could find no evidence Thursday of a business license for the towing company.
By mid-morning, perhaps two dozen vehicles remained in a lot strewn with old tires and a cobweb-covered lawn mower — among other things.
In one corner of the lot sat a trailer canopy with a barbecue out front and some gray vinyl bucket seats.
Frank said his brother keeps six dogs — three German shepherds, two Rottweilers and a pit bull — for security.
Once the cops showed up Wednesday, no one was allowed onto the lot — even to give the dogs food or water, Frank said.
"It's animal cruelty," Frank said. "It was so hot. They were in the sun."
Leroy Ball, 37, showed up at the lot Thursday morning in search of his white 2000 Cadillac Seville, which he said was stolen Monday or Tuesday from outside a buddy's house in the city. The water pump needed to be replaced, but there was no good reason for anyone to tow it, Ball said.
"The body was fine, everything was fine and everything was up to date," Ball explained.
He said he showed up at the lot after his little brother called him and said he'd seen the story about the seizure on the news.
Ball got some good news — he spoke to a lot employee who said, yes, there had been a white Cadillac like his on the property. So Ball left, heading for the Far South Side, where he was told the car had been taken.
"It's wrong when somebody takes things that don't belong to them," Ball said before he left.

Tips & Tricks
Periodically you will encounter a blown fuse. This occurs when the thin metal strip that runs through the middle of it has melted. When this occurs the fuse needs to be replaced. When replacing make sure that you use a fuse that is rated the same as the existing one. It is also good to do so while on dry ground.
When using your power tools with an extension cord check the power rating of the item as well as the gauge of the extension cord. You could be losing precious power if the cord cannot carry enough to the device. This will lead to poor performance as well as it could damage your tool or device by not giving it to the power to run properly.
When changing a light bulb be sure to check what is rated for the device that it is being put into. Do not try to overload the item by putting in a larger wattage bulb. This will only damage the device and can lead to safety issues down the road. It is OK to go with a smaller wattage, but do not go higher.

No not without cracking it etc etc. So just take it as a no .
Is there a way to view the users password that is stored in AD?
No not without cracking it etc etc. So just take it as a no .
oh ok, not to worry
You cannot access the SAM file whilst the server is running. If you boot into DOS you can perform all manner of wonders!!!
Out of curiosity, why would you need to do that anyway?
Auditing password security.
I would have thought GPOs were less effort.
One must be able to prove that the policies are being followed. It is not sufficient just to set them and forget about it.
Although to be fair, in a school enviroment you'd probably never be asked to do this. Most likely because you don't have an audit department.
Very true
Isn't running your own dictionary attack against the accounts enough?
The auditing you'd have to perform would be dictated by a combination of your audit and password policys.

How to Use the Scholarship Directory
If you need assistance subsidizing your master's degree, search the scholarship directory we have compiled below. Use the filters offered to determine which scholarships you are eligible for. For instance, if you want scholarships available to student pursuing an all-online program, uncheck the "hybrid" filter to eliminate campus-based scholarship. You can also filter for scholarships based on your grade point average so you don't waste time applying to those that you don't qualify for. Finally, you can use the ethnicity filter to seek scholarships that are only available to people of a given demographic, which narrows the field of applicants and gives you a better chance of getting funding for your education.
Remember, this is a good starting point for seeking master's in accounting scholarships, but you can also speak directly with the financial aid department of your university for departmental scholarships. And if you are currently employed in accounting, check with your employer, as many companies are willing to partially subsidize higher education for their employees, since they will bring more value to the company with a master's degree.

Understand Trends in Accounting Scholarships
Many of the scholarships featured here are targeted at students entering highly specialized areas of accounting, like taxation, forensic accounting, and auditing. You'll have a better chance of getting money for your education if you know exactly how you want to use your degree. Furthermore, you are always more likely to get a scholarship in a narrow area of specialization where there are fewer applicants than you would if you apply to general accounting and finance scholarships, where you will be up against more competition.
Another trend is to offer educational funding to graduate students who want to use their degree to help others. In an effort to attract more qualified accountants to underserved communities and industries, many sponsors limit eligibility to students who are interested in working less popular areas such as state tax departments or education.
Notable Accounting Scholarships
The Association of Accountants and Financial Professionals in Business provides a number of scholarships and grants for MAcc students. These are reserved for graduate and undergraduate students interested in pursuing a career in management accounting, financial management or information technology. Beyond that, specific degree specializations are not required. Awards range from $500 to a full academic year of tuition and fee coverage. Part-time students qualify, but all applicants must be prepared to provide proof that they are currently enrolled in an accredited accounting program.
The Ritchie-Sennings Memorial Scholarship
The purpose of the Ritchie-Sennings award is to advance the level of fraud awareness and prevention in the financial services industry. To that end, thirty awards of $1,000 are awarded annually to students pursuing degrees related to accounting, business and finance, or criminal justice. This scholarship is reserved for students enrolled in an accredited accounting program full-time. It is non-renewable and may be applied to both undergraduate and graduate tuition payments.

Fodder Knows Best
For those who missed the Punch & Judy Show that Rudy Giuliani and Ron Paul performed the other night as a shiny array of business-suited window-display mannequins stood rooted behind their Jeopardy lecterns, fret not--Roy Edroso keenly distills the salient highlights:
BROWNBACK: If you're raped, you should have a baby.
ROMNEY: I am recently and totally pro-life.
TANCREDO: I hate Mexicans. These guys love Mexicans.
McCAIN: Well, at least Mexicans aren't Muslims.
ROMNEY: Mexicans shouldn't get a special pathway. Or doorway. Citizenship! (applause)
McCAIN: Why's everyone looking at me? Abortion!
GIULIANI: I'm not soft. I'm hard! I'm America's Mayor! We need tamper proof IDs! And a fence!
HUNTER: I built a motherfucking fence.
PAUL: We really fucked up in Iraq. (applause)
GIULIANI: 9/11! 9/11! (cheers, gunfire)
Yes, that about sums up the evening's frolics. I kept waiting for one of the second-tier candidates--i.e., cannon fodder--to interject his willingness to authorize the torture of immigrant women to disclose the names of their abortion providers, but perhaps it slipped Sam Brownback's mind in all the excitement of Rudy Giuliani standing on a pile of 3,000 WTC dead being showered with money and applause. It's easy to get distracted in the thrill of the moment.
Upon reflection, it occurred to me that with each Republican debate, the gender gap promises to widen and deepen to benefit of the Democrats. I'm not the only to whom that thought's occurred. I was surprised to hear one of the female guests on Neil Cavuto's Saturday morning business show warn Republicans that there are millions of unmarried women and single moms in this country who risk being alienated and driven away by the constant drumbeat about "family values." The American family is in a constant state of reformulation and it's not the traditional nuclear unit anymore. This guest, whose name I can't recall, may have been springboarding off of the same stats Tom Schaller cites in a Baltimore Sun op-ed titled "Single Women a Sleeping Giant for Democratic Party":
The Democrats' gender gap thus derives from the party's wide support among unmarried women and nonwhite women. In fact, in 2006 unmarried women chose Democratic congressional candidates by the eye-popping margin of 66 percent to 32 percent.
Along with union households and racial minorities, these unmarried women helped the Democrats erase Republican majorities in Congress, among governors and in the state legislatures.
Based on what we saw the other night, I doubt this crop of Republican candidates can court this bloc of voters, or even cares to. They're all about projecting force, certitude, resolve, and Male Authority. K'Lo must have gotten dizzy watching them, unable to decide whose cruel boots she should wrap herself around and declare herself his harem-slave. From this week's debate the sole issue regarding women in this country is how difficult to make it for them to obtain an abortion; policies that would help working families seemed out of place in an exhibition of muscleman poses. It was cut this, torture that, bomb this, stand tall, never waver, build mo' better Gitmos. And in the wings wait two even more smug, patriarchal, well-padded know-it-alls: Newt Gingrich and some Edward G. Robinson knockoff with a cigar pasted in his mug.

How long does it take for under muscle implants to drop after surgery?
I had surgery 3 and half months ago and my breasts still ride way to high on my chest and they don't feel very hard not natural. When I saw my doctor two weeks ago he said this was normal YEAH RIGHT! Or is he right? :confused:
No worries, it can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months for unders to take their final position and for the swelling to subside.
u said under the muscle. did u mean the submuscular or subpectoral breast implants?

E-reader Battle Royale: Kindle 2 vs. all the rest
The Amazon Kindle 2 bursts onto the scene with impressive new features, but it's not alone. There are already plenty of e-readers on the market — and even more coming — each with its own abilities, shape and pricing. So how does the new Kindle stack up (ouch!) against its peers?
The Kindle 2, with its ultra-thinness and tight integration with Amazon's vast array of e-books, is going to be hard to beat. It also stands alone with its free 3G connectivity, something no other e-reader has, letting you order books from anywhere there's a Sprint wireless connection.
Hit Continue for a comparison of the Kindle 2 to its predecessor and its major competitors, then jump to the bottom to see a tabular comparison.
Sony Reader PRS-700 ($400)
Here's the Kindle 2's most worthy competitor. The touchscreen Reader has the same 6-inch screen size and 800 x 600 resolution, nearly identical weight, a touchscreen keyboard instead of the physical one of the Kindle, and the ability to handle a variety of document and graphics formats (unlike the Kindle's need for conversion). Sony gets clever with a couple of LED lights on each side of the screen for night reading (which diminish battery life).
Astak EZ Reader ($287)
This e-reader seems to be popping up everywhere, and it's known by many names, including the Hanlin V3 in Europe, IBook V3, Endless Ideas BeBook, WalkBook, and Papyre 6.1. Except for the lack of connectivity, its specs are similar to the Amazon Kindle 2, with the same 6-inch 800 x 600 screen. However, it handles a whole lot more document types and graphics with no need for conversion, and it costs $72 less. Astak teases us with promises of a 9.7-inch "flexi-screen" model "during the first six months of 2009."
iRex Digital Reader 1000S ($749)
Now we're getting fancy. Aimed at an upscale market, the pricey 1000S has a relatively huge 10.2-inch screen with considerably higher 1,280 x 1,024 resolution. For $110 more, you can get Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, or go bare-bones for $599 with the non-touchscreen iLiad "book edition." The 1000S is big, about the size of a piece of paper, but its main drawback is its weight, a hefty 20.1 ounces. Some hands-on reviewers have called its response "sluggish."
Foxit eSlick ($259, or $229 for early buyers)
This one looks exactly the same as the $350 CyBook Gen3 and Astak Mentor, all the size of a medium paperback. It's using that familiar 6-inch 800 x 600 screen, and at 0.4 inches deep, it's almost as thin as the Kindle 2. The eSlick's low price is matched by its featherweight heft, just 6.4 ounces. Foxit says its first eSlick readers have sold out, with the next batch due mid-to-late April.
Plastic Logic (no pricing announced yet)
This ultralight, all-plastic reader is just a prototype thus far, but it's looking good. Its touchscreen is the size of commonplace 8.5 x 11-inch piece of paper, and uses gestures to navigate from one page to the next. Able to read Microsoft Word, Excel and Adobe PDF files as well as newspapers, magazines and books, its makers claim it can display anything you can print. The company says it'll be shipping a few units later this year, but this e-reader won't be widely available until 2010. Also not mentioned yet: pricing, which could be steep with such advanced tech.
Amazon Kindle 1 ($359)
The Kindle 2 has 25% longer battery life, text-to-speech, is the thinnest reader on the market, is slightly lighter than its predecessor, and holds in its back pocket a formidable, if not devastating weapon: Amazon. The company offers more than 230,000 e-books for the Kindle 2, as well as numerous newspapers, magazines, and blogs — all downloadable anywhere. The downside? Those store-bought books are laden with DRM (digital rights management), preventing you from easily copying them anywhere else, and there's a clunky email-to-yourself routine for converting PDFs or other files.

Sentiment: Strong Buy
even heard of the co before two weeks ago...people are going to get hurt..that is what happen when you gamble instead of invest..DANGER, DANGER..BRIDGE WASHED OUT.
Sad. FIRSTLY, you sold everything and were wrong about 90% of the time. SECOND, I am always right as we have seen.
Somewhere between zero and zilch .0000 and .0000
I sold those same options against my YHOO longs for about $100 each. They are destined for zero.
ABBV has great products coming out in the near future. I HIGHLY recommend you to NOT short it lol. But if you like losing money, then go for it!
You are correct. We make a post about a current event such as a screw up by Obama and the response from you liberals is never intelligent. You are catching on Zero boy.
I am "THUNDERSTRUCK",.....HELLS...BELLS.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Doc.. who wrote the research report and is a copy of it available online? I'd love to see it.
Dated Page the co founder.She is SUPER smart with tons of connections.I'd think she is WELL advised.
Last EPS was UP,Revs down.Brought all working from home employee's into office.Some were fired or quit.She is doing a good job.
anything is possible. I do find it odd ,that they guided down last quarter ,but when numbers came in they beat the number big time
No. Short selling rules changed after the financial crisis. You can no longer short the bid down. When on open market you have to short on the uptick. In other words you can only short at the same time someone is buying on the ask (uptick). Pre-market however, is different.
I do and it's obvious
EA, you read my mind. I think the name change s the signal. With 4503 to grow on, the pipeline can be a significant producer for a nice, long run at BP. One other thing, the longer this was delayed, the more telling for the OS. People surviving that nasty stuff. Yes, VReb, that surprises me.. but I think that's how the data will read: A strong bump in OS. I'm still looking for $35.
You should stop your #$%$ on Michael . The guy is frugal you should just wish your government was run by a guy like this he will stretch your cash and will bring home the kosher bacon. Enough with blaming Michael instead use those thoughts to praise him for not wanting to dilute your shares and watching the pennies. Find the good the positive first give him trust . I was very very impressed by what I saw today by what I felt today by real honest people . Mistakes can be corrected .
You really should lay off the FOOL. He's autistic you know.

For me, the ends of education is to learn – get new opportunities or at least exercise your brain; the degree is secondary (though I do seek a PhD eventually.. just my BS suits me just fine for now). So for me, MIT's opencourse initiative is perfect! You can take classes from MIT for free! But.. sans the instructor (oh, but this course has videos, so it's like he's right there on my iPod mini). That's where PhD friends and relatives come in handy, heh.
Anyway, I made this spreadsheet for myself for Biology 7.014, which is the basic Biology course for Biology majors. Just go down the list, and do the assignments and watch the lectures.. Then, try to discover something yourself..
Biology 7.014 Syllabus (.ods)
Biology 7.014 Syllabus (.pdf)
Biology 7.014 Syllabus (.xls)
(And no, it hasn't escaped me that the file extension for Opendocument Spreadsheet looks like "odious")
Here's the course itself. I can't believe no one else is taking advantage of this!!

By J.K. Yamamoto
Three Nisei received honorary degrees, and a standing ovation, at San Francisco State University's annual Hall of Fame ceremony, held May 21 on campus.
Hatsune Arita Fukuchi, Helen Nitta Hori and Kaya Ruth Kitagawa Sugiyama were among 19 Japanese Americans who were attending San Francisco State College during World War II and were unable to graduate because of the internment.
Among this year's Hall of Fame inductees was poet and community leader Janice Mirikitani, who was interned as a child. She was one of six alumni honored for distinguishing themselves with extraordinary achievements in their professional and civic endeavors.
Also recognized were Grammy-winning musician/producer George Duke; John Gumas, founder and president of Gumas Advertising; Kathleen Martinez, assistant secretary for disability employment policy at the U.S. Department of Labor; and Don Nasser, president and CEO of San Francisco's Castro Theatre. The title of Alumnus of the Year went to environmentalist Randall Hayes, founder of the Rainforest Action Network.
The honorees' families and friends gathered at the Seven Hills Conference Center for the ceremony, which was hosted by journalist, author and broadcaster Ben Fong-Torres and SFSU President Robert Corrigan.
The honorary degree ceremony was one of several conducted statewide since the passage last year of legislation, introduced by Assemblyman Warren Furutani (D-Long Beach), calling on the University of California, California State University and California Community College systems to grant diplomas to Nisei students who were interned or otherwise forced to relocate in 1942.
Leroy Morishita, vice president of administration and finance at SFSU, commented, "We've wanted to honor them in this way, giving them the honorary degrees, but thanks to Assemblyman Furutani, we're finally able to do this. So we're really excited that three of the former students are alive and are able to be here." He added that it was "a real treat" that Mirikitani was being recognized at the same event.
Corrigan said that the ceremony should have been held more than a decade ago, but "the law of the state would not allow
In 2002, he continued, the university opened the Garden of Remembrance, which includes 10 rocks representing the internment camps, and presented an honorary doctoral degree to artist and former internee Ruth Asawa, who designed the garden. "If you haven't been there, you really need to see it," Corrigan told the audience.
"Now we have the legislation," he said. "It's come very late. We would like to have had it earlier. But we are now able as a university to actually award degrees ... Some went to other campuses within the California State University as part of their graduation, some will be with us tomorrow (at the commencement), and some are here this evening ...
"In the heat of World War II, there were 120,000 Japanese Americans on the West Coast who were torn from their homes, their livelihoods and their education and sent off to internment camps. There were 250 students at campuses that are now part of the California State University ... We've tried to reach out to as many of those 250 who are alive or whose relatives or descendants we could identify ... All three of these former students were admitted in September of 1940, they were forced to leave in 1942, and had they not been interned they would have graduated in the Class of 1944."
Corrigan introduced the Nisei alumni, presented their diplomas, and posed for pictures with them and their families. The three also received congratulatory letters from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Hatsune Fukuchi
Fukuchi was born in Hilo, Hawaii and was the first in her family to attend college. Her studies at San Francisco States were focused on education and social sciences. During the war, she relocated to Kansas and married her college sweetheart, giving up plans to return to Hawaii. Because of Stanley Fukuchi's career as an officer in the Military Intelligence Service, the family lived at many U.S. bases around the world.
After her husband was incapacitated by a heart attack, she sought work but was hampered by the lack of a college degree. She could only qualify as a substitute teacher, receiving a fraction of the pay of a full-time teacher and minimal benefits. She worked as a substitute teacher for the Hayward Unified School District until her retirement in 1983 and has lived in San Leandro for about 30 years.
Fukuchi, who was accompanied by her son, daughter and their spouses, said she was pleasantly surprised to be invited to the ceremony. "I think it's wonderful ... I'm really honored."
Helen Hori
A native of Loomis, Hori studied music and recreation at San Francisco State. She re-entered the university in September 1945 and received her B.A. in liberal arts with honors in June 1946. She began graduate studies in the summer of 1951 and received her elementary school credential in 1953.
Hori, who was accompanied by her two sons, her daughter-in-law and two granddaughters, reflected on her college days, saying, "What I miss most is seeing some of my former classmates and friends."
She noted that fellow honoree Sugiyama was her roommate at the time. "I've kept in touch with her, one of the very few other than people from my area where I came from. We were both in teaching, but we were called one day by the dean to tell us that there was absolutely no future for Asians in the teaching field, so she was recommending that we go to a business school and find some secretarial jobs. Those were very discouraging days ...
"I remember walking out on the beach thinking, 'Should I quit school?' ... The war came along and I had to leave anyway.
"I came back and got my teaching credential, and I taught in San Francisco schools for 20 years until I retired ... I guess I was one of the earlier groups of Niseis who were accepted and got a job, so I was able to send my sons through the university system and have a nice family, so I'm enjoying life now."
Her son Keith is also in education, directing the Upward Bound program at UC Berkeley. Her son Kent is a lawyer with his own practice.
Kaya Ruth Sugiyama
A San Francisco native, Sugiyama was a music and education student at San Francisco State and returned to the university in the fall of 1954 to enroll in a speech class. She holds a degree from the University of Colorado with majors in education and music.
Her family has the dubious distinction of being housed in Seabiscuit's horse stall while interned at the Tanforan Racetrack in San Bruno. Sugiyama and her brother George were able to avoid internment because their father arranged for them to attend the University of Colorado, the only school west of Chicago that would accept them. Their father was later able to leave the Topaz camp and join them in Boulder as a Japanese instructor at the Navy's language school.
An educator for 40 years, Sugiyama ran her own arts school in San Francisco, where young Japanese Americans and kids of various ethnicities studied such subjects as music and dance. She wrote all the curriculums herself and opened her doors to all students regardless of economic background.
Sugiyama, who was accompanied by her godson, his spouse and close friends, said before the ceremony, "I am so excited." A recent stroke did not prevent her from attending or dampen her enthusiasm.
Her entourage included Sally Matsuishi, president/CEO, and Beverly Matsuishi, clinical director, from Next Generation Scholars in San Rafael. Both cited her as a role model.
Sugiyama also attended a ceremony at UC San Francisco last December to accept a degree on behalf of her late husband, Masao.
Janice Mirikitani
Fong-Torres introduced Mirikitani, the founding president of the Glide Foundation at Glide Memorial Church and the author of four books of poetry, as "one of the living treasures of San Francisco." She studied humanities and creative writing at SFSU.
"As a high school teacher, she counseled abused and troubled students and found that she related to the most rebellious students, identifying with their frustration and anger at life's injustices," said Fong-Torres. "At Glide, she developed numerous programs serving the poor and homeless, particularly women struggling with substance abuse, domestic violence, rape, incest, single parenting and other challenges. Affordable housing and the safety and well-being of those living on the edge in the Tenderloin is another emphasis of Janice's work."
Among other honors, Mirikitani was named one of the "100 Most Influential Women in Business" by the San Francisco Business Times, received the Minerva Award from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver, and was named San Francisco's second poet laureate in 2000.
"It is truly an honor," she said. "I also want to congratulate the three Nisei that have received their honorary bachelor's degrees. It's well deserved and justice deserved. As my Nisei mother would say, 'It's about damn time.' "
Although she received her bachelor's degree and teaching credential from the UC system, Mirikitani was heavily influenced by her experiences as a graduate student in creative writing at SFSU with professors like poet John Logan and "the grande dame of writing," Kay Boyle.
She regaled the audience with an anecdote about Boyle. "I made the mistake of choosing two authors for my thesis whom she knew personally, and John Keats ... I was doing this thing on existentialism and metaphor or something like that. She said, 'I happen to dine frequently with William (Carlos Williams) and I've shared wine in cafes in Madrid with Ernest (Hemingway), and they would not have agreed with your presumptions.' I was just lucky that she didn't know John Keats.
"She passed me somehow and we did later become friends, and she did do a great review of my first book of poetry. I'm eternally grateful for that friendship."
The political unrest on campus prompted her to become a poet, Mirikitani recalled. "It was because of the rebellion and the radical movement for our voice, for justice, for our rights — for civil and human rights for all people, especially people of color and communities of color who did not feel their fair representation in our history, in academia, in the books of learning here. And San Francisco State provided that wonderful, fertile ground on which we could run and speak and scream and yell and be eloquent in expressing ... who we really are.
"It was a time of wonderful upheaval and revolution, it was a time when we as artists and activists of color discovered one another and discovered our own voices and created our own pages of history and legacy and pride in our ancestry. We discovered the absolute necessity of interdependence of all the communities, and of celebrating our diversity. "
She started to work at Glide around the same time. "It was kind of a perfect storm, where organizing and radical creativity and empowerment of the margins rushed together in this sea of rebellion and self-determination and empowerment. Truly the margins were coming to the center. It was just a great time for academia and the campus and community to come together ... for all of that which was chaotic and which was institutionalized to come together and clash and to become partners, truly, in creating a different world ...
"I feel incredibly blessed because I've been at Glide for 43 years, and I've been with (Rev.) Cecil Williams, who's a pretty extraordinary individual."
Despite numerous challenges, she and her husband "managed to grow 87 programs, three buildings for affordable housing for the homeless, and also all of these holistic services to break the cycles of dependency and poverty," Mirikitani said. "I'm so privileged to work with the people who every day remind me that creativity and respect, diversity and dignity for everyone is the life breath of community because we continue to bring the margins to center and transform ourselves first."
She thanked Williams, "with whom the journey at Glide has been 'Amazing Grace,' fried chicken and unconditional love," and their daughter, Tianne. "She's not only given me a grandson but she's been the source of my challenges, my love and my pride."
Mirikitani closed on a bittersweet note, reading some lines from "a poem that I wrote for my Nisei mother, whose voice still rings in my ears. She broke her silence about the concentration camps 40 years after our incarceration."
Past inductees into the Hall of Fame, which was established in 1994, include Kent Nagano of the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra in 1995 and Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Okazaki in 2009.
At commencement the following day, two families attended on behalf of Nisei students. Ken and Greg Miyake accepted for their mother, Yoshiko Miya, and George Magotaro Hirose was represented by his wife Toshi, brother Bill, daughter Elizabeth, and son Peter. Dr. Jim Hirabayashi, professor emeritus of anthropology and ethnic studies at SFSU, also attended on behalf of the CSU Nisei College Diploma Project Honorary Committee.
