AP Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hit with a multimillion-dollar barrage of televised attacks, Democrats in tough re-election races want credit for trying to fix the problematic parts of the health care law at the same time they claim bragging rights for its popular provisions and allege Republicans will reverse the crackdown on insurance company abuses.
It's a tricky, high-stakes political straddle by lawmakers who voted to create the law, which Republicans intend to place at the center of their campaign to win control of the Senate and hold their House majority.
In one of the year's most closely watched races, Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., recently aired a commercial that shows her in numerous public settings last fall sternly telling President Barack Obama to keep his promise to let people keep their current health plans if they want to -- and then taking credit after he took steps to make that happen.
"I'm fixing it and that's what my bill does, and I've urged the president to fix it," Landrieu says in the ad.
It ends with a screen that reads: "The result: People now allowed to keep health care plans."
The three-term lawmaker aired the ad after a televised attack by Americans for Prosperity, a group funded by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch that has spent more than $25 million on similarly themed commercials in several races.
Hundreds of miles away, in Arizona, an outside group that backs Democrats stepped in after Americans for Prosperity targeted Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick.
Referring to HealthCare.gov, which had a wretched debut last fall, a House Majority PAC ad said Kirkpatrick "blew the whistle on the disastrous health care website, calling it stunning ineptitude, and worked to fix it."
At the same time, Kirkpatrick "fought to hold insurance companies accountable, so they can't deny coverage for pre-existing conditions or drop it when they get sick," said the commercial, referring to popular elements of the law already in place.
The response comes as Democratic Party leaders look eagerly to outside groups to keep pace with the Koch brothers' early campaign barrage, while acknowledging they have been neither fast nor aggressive enough inside the Capitol in countering Republican attacks and demands for the law's repeal.
"We have to stop being so defensive," said Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, recently tapped to lead an effort inside the Senate to respond publicly to GOP attacks.
Democrats also say public opinion points the way to a strong campaign rebuttal to Republicans.
Geoff Garin, a pollster with ties to many lawmakers in the party, said that even in GOP-leaning districts, "there is a preference for a Democrat who wants to keep the good parts and fix the bad parts over a Republican who wants to repeal the whole thing."
It's a point Democrats emphasize.
In North Carolina, fast becoming ground zero of the "Obamacare" fight, a Senate Majority PAC ad says Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan "forced insurance companies to cover cancer and other pre-existing conditions." It adds that one of her Republican rivals, state House Speaker Thom Tillis, "sides with insurance companies and would let insurance companies deny coverage."
Hagan has yet to air her own ads on the subject, although her campaign website makes the claims similar to the commercial by the Senate Majority PAC.
Americans for Prosperity has put more money into North Carolina than any other race, more than $5 million so far compared with about $1.5 million for the Democratic organization helping her. Both totals are certain to swell.
One recent anti-Hagan ad shows a woman saying she was shocked when she got a notice that her coverage was being canceled. "Kay Hagan told us if you like your insurance plan and your doctors, you could keep them. That just wasn't true."
Americans for Prosperity also has attacked in Arkansas, where Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor faces a tough race. The incumbent ran an ad late last year that did not mention the Affordable Care Act by name. It said he was working for "more doctor visits, free preventive care and lower prescription costs," references to elements of the legislation he voted for.
Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire has been attacked by a different group, Ending Spending, which mocked Obama's now-discredited statement that people could keep their health care if they liked it.
"Next November, if you like your senator, you can keep her. If you don't, you know what to do," says the announcer.
Shaheen's official Senate website says she "voted in favor of the 2010 Affordable Care Act because she believes it is an important first step to making essential changes to our health care system."

News From Florida where a measure in the Senate would allow parents to learn the titles of overdue books checked out of libraries by their kids.
Confidentiality laws currently prevent libraries from disclosing to parents what materials their children had borrowed, even though the parent may be responsible for the fines if the books are overdue.
The bill (SB 192) would allow parents of children younger than 16 to learn the titles of overdue materials checked out by their children. The Florida Library Association supports the change, which could reach the full Senate as early as today.

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Audio Interface
Product Ref: 22482
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Audio InterfaceDetails
The Scarlett 2i2 is a 2 in / 2 out USB recording interface, which features two award-winning Focusrite preamps. It's housed in an attractive anodised aluminium unibody chassis, leaving you with a great sounding, great looking device which you can take on the road with you!
Full DescriptionView Full Description
Quality Preamp
Having designed some of the most popular microphone preamps in the industry, Focusrite give you the transparent, low-noise and low-distortion preamp found not only in the Scarlett 2i2 but also their flagship Firewire interface, the Liquid Saffire 56. There's plenty of available headroom, which makes it suitable for moving coil, condenser and ribbon microphones regardless of the source. Phantom power is provided for mics that need it.
Front Panel Neutrik Combination Input
The front panel Neutrik combination input can be used to connect line and instrument level signals as well as microphones. This makes it perfect for recording the output of a synthesiser or stage piano, whilst at the flick of a switch you can cater for the output of an electric or acoustic guitar.
Unique Halo Signal Indicators
The Scarlett 2i2 features unique halo signal indicators which inform you that you've got a good signal level for recording. Red means that your signal is clipping, and that you should reduce the gain. The halo will momentarily turn amber as the level returns to a healthy level, at which point it will turn green.
Great Monitoring Capabilities
Get tactile control for the volume of your speakers with the large monitor dial. A high quality headphone amp provides a clean yet loud signal to headphones connected to the front panel socket. The direct monitor switch routes audio directly from the inputs to both the headphone and speaker outputs, allowing you to monitor the incoming signal with zero-latency.
Included Software - DAW and Effects
Included with the Scarlet 2i2 is Ableton Live Lite 8, as well as Focusrite's Scarlett plug-in suite. Compatible with all major DAWs, Scarlett plug-in suite provides EQ, Compression, Gate and Reverb - essential tools for polishing your mix.
To take a look at a comparison chart of the Focusrite Scarletts please download the PDF below.
"A great-sounding, well designed interface that packs plenty of flexibility into its slender frame." - Future Music

We Will Rock You
Food Bank Seeks Volunteer for Rock n' Box
June 7, 2011
OKLAHOMA CITY - Looking for a fun and free activity to do this summer? Help your neighbor in need by volunteering at the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma for Thursday night Rock n' Box. From karaoke to comedy, this themed event puts a fun spin on volunteering.
Future Rock N' Box entertainment includes:
- June 9 - Stellar DJ
- June 16 - Country Night
- June 23 - DJ Dan
- June 30 - Karaoke
- July 7 - Stellar DJ
- July 14 - Pot Luck Dinner
- July 21 - '80s Night (Dress up and listen to the top 80s music)
- July 28 - Karaoke
"I wanted to help those less fortunate," said Roy Jarrett, a full-time volunteer at the Regional Food Bank. "People are out of work and need help. Plus, you meet a lot of friends down here."
Last fiscal year, more than 20,500 volunteers donated 64,000 hours of service to the Regional Food Bank, which saved the nonprofit more than $1 million in labor.
"Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Regional Food Bank," said Jamie Treadaway, volunteer coordinator. "Right now, we really need volunteer groups on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. and for Thursday's Rock N' Box nights. With volunteer opportunities just about every day of the week, it's a great summer-time activity for families, youth groups and individuals!"
Rock N' Box takes off every Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. in the volunteer center at the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, located at 3355 S. Purdue in Oklahoma City. Tuesday and Wednesday night group volunteer appointments are available from 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturday volunteer hours are from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Open volunteering (no appointment needed) for individuals or groups of four or less is available Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. and on Thursday evening Rock N' Box. To schedule groups of five or more, contact Jamie Treadaway at 405.600.3154 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also sign up online at regionalfoodbank.org.
Established in 1980, the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is the largest private hunger-relief organization in the state, providing enough food to feed more than 77,000 people each week throughout central and western Oklahoma. The majority of those served by the Regional Food Bank are children, seniors living on fixed incomes, and working families who cannot make ends meet.
To volunteer, contact Jamie Treadaway at firstname.lastname@example.com or 405.600.3154. For more information, visit regionalfoodbank.org.
The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is a private, 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that acts as a link through which the food industry and community may donate food and other goods. The products are then distributed to nearly 700 schools and charitable feeding programs in 53 central and western Oklahoma counties. In the last fiscal year, the Food Bank distributed 36.5 million pounds of food and product to help the charitable community effectively feed people in need. Since its inception in 1980, the Regional Food Bank has distributed more than 393 million pounds of food to feed Oklahoma's hungry. Visit regionalfoodbank.org to see the new counter that tracks the pounds and meals distributed every second.

Run by collectors for collectors
Incorporating Crystal Exchange Ltd (UK) & Nancy Gibbs Collectibles Ltd
WELCOME to The Crystal Lodge, the home of rare and retired Swarovski crystal. We are the UK's premier secondary market Swarovski crystal company - a company with a long trading history, a company you can rely on and trust. We have a world-wide customer base, and many thousands of happy customers.
We hope you will enjoy browsing our website for information about Swarovski crystal, and of course, shopping and/or pre-ordering longed-for Swarovski items which are no longer in production, from us.
We have an on-line shop packed with a huge selection of retired Swarovski crystal animals and other products, which are available for immediate despatch worldwide. Don't forget this means you don't have to pay upfront and wait weeks for the item to arrive like you would using a brokerage company. There are no confusing lists of different prices for the same item for buyers to trawl through. We stock our own crystal, therefore the prices are fixed, and the items can be despatched immediately. For sellers, because we buy your entire collection, you don't have to send individual items off to us one by one as and when a buyer is found, which is expensive, time-consuming and can take years to sell every single item.
For rare and unusual items, we also operate our fabulous Crystal Detective service tracking down those hard to find crystal pieces for you. We have the contacts worldwide to make this possible and have an excellent success rate.
You can visit our on-line crystal shop by using the shop links on the left of this page, or by clicking the "shop" tab above. When you find the item you are looking for, click on it to reveal the second page which has the description and a larger photo.
All our retired Swarovski crystal is boxed and in mint condition unless specifically stated otherwise.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not buy Swarovski jewellery, watches or accessories - nor can we provide valuations for these items as our specialist knowledge is centred on the crystal figurine and functional product ranges, and this is also where our client base lies.
Available from the drop-down menu in the Insurance/Valuations tabs. Don't forget to download a second copy, so that you can create your Swarovski wish list!
Also available - fully updated Swarovski Crystal Reference guides including Swarovski Crystal Retirement Guides and Swarovski Crystal Introduction Guides plus many more including Mos, Kris Bears, Christmas ornaments, annual editions. All documents are available free to download, and are updated annually.

Health and Safety reminder: Please remember that crystal items, however cute the animals might be, are not toys and Swarovski are clear that they are not intended for children under the age of 15.
We use cookies on our website, they are small files stored on your computer to enhance the performance of our website and your user experience. They are not harmful and the site cannot operate without them. We are legally required to inform you of our use of cookies for our site to be EU Cookie Compliant. The cookies extract minimal data regarding the tracking of our visitors through Google Analytics to assist our marketing team and help them to enhance the interface of the website for our customers.
Payment methods
We offer payment via both WorldPay and PayPal. The choice is given once you get to checkout stage. WorldPay is a very secure method of payment, which requires you to complete your card details yourself - we don't get to see them, it goes direct to WorldPay for processing! PayPal needs no introduction. We have no preference as to which method you use. Beware of any company who can't offer more than just PayPal and can't process credit/debit cards over the phone. This doesn't show a high level of commitment to the client. You can pay on the phone via all credit/debit cards (except Amex) if you prefer, or we accept UK cheques, although they need to clear before we can despatch your goods. Bank transfer is also available to UK and international clients.
We are happy to ship internationally for all but the very large pieces, for example signed limited editions and any single item over 2kg in weight. We can ship those items to you, however, we cannot cover the cost within our flat rate fee. You will need to ask for a shipping quote.
UK orders are FREE (includes Channel Islands).
Clients in Europe pay a flat rate of £12 per order, not per item.
International clients pay a flat rate of £15 per order, not per item.
Please note that if an item is shown priced at £0.00 this means it is out of stock and therefore you cannot order it. If you wish to pre-order, then please use our expression of interest form to tell us which items you would like to find for you and once we have them we will notify you and we can complete the transaction at that point.
SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL INSURANCE VALUATION GUIDE: To locate our UK insurance valuation guide, click the insurance tab above. There are pdf and Excel formats - Excel will allow you to add in the number of each piece you have, plus will add up the total for you. This service is completely FREE of charge! Valuation guide notes and general valuation notes are also available.
Note to potential sellers: All the information you need about selling to us can be accessed by going to the "About Us" tab, and selecting "Selling Crystal" from the drop down menu. This will tell you everything you need to know about preparing your list for us and what happens next. Please be advised that we do not purchase collections immediately or make any offer/valuation until your collection best suits the gaps in our stock levels. We are rather inundated at the moment, so please bear with us! The situation has been exacerbated since the purchase of Crystal Exchange as they had quite a backlog of sellers, all of whom are now coming to us! Don't forget we had previously purchased Nancy Gibbs Collectibles 2 years earlier, and we had a lot of initial stock to get through!
Here are the 5 aims of The Crystal Lodge:
To provide Swarovski crystal collectors with a fully functioning e-shop in which they can purchase and/or pre-order retired Swarovski crystal in a safe, secure environment.
To provide an on-line shopping experience which is intuitive for clients to find what they are looking for and with one price so they know exactly where they stand.
To provide collectors who wish to sell their Swarovski crystal collections with the opportunity to sell the entire collection in one simple transaction as soon as we require the stock, and for a fair price.
To produce an informative, attractive and fun Newsletter to collectors who join our free electronic mailing list - please note just because we have your e-mail address this doesn't mean we send you unsolicited mail! If you would like to receive our Swarovski crystal e-Newsletters, you need to join the mailing list! We would never assume that it's ok to add you to it, without asking you first! This is a way that we can keep you informed of changes, special offers and exciting news. There is no schedule for the e-mail flyer - we will just send them as and when we have breaking news to tell you. Please note that we would never reveal issues like next annual editions etc, as this is information that Swarovski themselves want to surprise you with!
To promote Swarovski products in a good light, and impart expertise and specialist knowledge about retired Swarovski crystal.
We also bring you links to other companies who can provide specialist services to Swarovski crystal collectors, such as collectible insurance, bespoke cabinet makers and so on.
To some extent, we are a victim of our own success, with copy-cat companies springing up from time to time who often "borrow" our ideas and innovations. However, they don't have our trading history, they don't have our contacts - its not worth taking the chance. We say "why shop with the rest, when you can shop with the best?" We are proud and highly honoured to be the only company who Swarovski UK are happy to recommend to their clients. We feel that says it all.
We are also the sole UK stockist of the Warner Blue Ribbon Books on Swarovski crystal, and only one of 2 distributors in the whole of Europe of this world-famous reference book.
So that's a little information about The Crystal Lodge. Don't forget that if you are looking for a particular retired Swarovski piece/pieces and can't find it here, use our Express an Interest facility and we will search for it for you via our in-house "Crystal Detective Service".
As Swarovski collectors ourselves, we feel we are in a position to provide the sort of website and secondary market crystal company that Swarovski crystal collectors want, deserve and will enjoy exploring. We want to bring back the fun into crystal collecting. We deliberately leave products which are not currently in stock up on the website not just so that you can pre-order but also to provide a valuable collector's resource about your favourite Swarovski products!

GMAT Preparation Tips: How Daljeet scored a 780
Written by Sameer Kamat
GMAT preparation tips are easy to come by on various sites. Using these ideas, there are many Indian MBA applicants who do well on the GMAT. A few others crack it. And then there are those who completely destroy it. Daljeet Singh is one those warriors. After scoring a 780, he could've easily joined one of the elite GMAT preparation companies and made a killing. Instead, he chose to be part of an online marketing consultancy. He shares with us his story.
GMAT preparation tips from a 780 scorer
MBA for me has always been a moving target. When I was in my last year of under graduation, I started preparing for CAT (2006). Spent a few months preparing for the same, gave mock CATs & read through Pagalguy discussion forums about others preparation tips etc. Basically did all I could. When the results came out I had 89 percentile. I was shattered. I had a few calls from decent institutes but not from the ones I was looking forward to joining. Those were very depressing days. I had no idea what life would be, most of my friends either had calls from IIMs and the likes or were placed through their engineering colleges. I did not know what next to do in life, it was nightmarish then. Looking back, it was the best thing to have happened to me.
After the results, I started looking for a job and pretty soon, I was working for a large PR firm, that exposed me to various industries, their underlying business etc. I also kept upgrading my skills and did various evening / week-end courses in subjects as varied as finance, econometrics, stock markets etc. An year later, I got a call from an old acquaintance who was working in one of the hottest start-ups in Indian online space, informing about an opening there. I immediately said yes. I later realized that it required moving to a totally different city, a pay that was less than what I was already earning and no job security. But then I had said 'yes' you see.
I moved to Mumbai, a week later and did not know a soul there. My boss was moving to US for next one year and I was the only person in sales / marketing. I had never done sales / marketing. The next two and a half years were better than I could have hoped for. I worked with some of the most brilliant people in the industry. Did stuff I would not have been able to do in any other organization, achieved what I could not have achieved in any other organization.
Unfortunately, I had to move back to Delhi (my hometown) due to some personal complications and hence, left my job. Back in Delhi, I started receiving consulting offers from start-up and other small companies in my industry. I did that for a while and then thought this could be done in a more structured manner and hence started my own company that helps educational institutes with online marketing. Also, immediately after I moved back, I gave my GMAT and got 720. A lot of people said this was a decent score and I should not take a risk giving GMAT again, but I knew I could do better with a little effort, so a month later I gave GMAT and got 780.
Below are a few things that helped me during my preparation:
[Read more about Daljeet's GMAT prep strategy by clicking on any of the social media buttons]
That's what worked for me. I applied to Columbia, Duke & Wharton (my dream school) but was rejected by all of them (Columbia at least gave me an interview call). This year I have an ISB admit and am still contemplating whether to join or to focus on my own company as that has also picked up some steam in the last one year.
As Daljeet thinks about the next steps, we wish him all the best for his MBA plans.
So what worked for Daljeet seems to be the fact that he didn't rely upon a single source of GMAT test prep material. He created a 'personalised system' that worked for him.
If you are looking for options to give your GMAT study plans some structure and discipline, check out our GMAT preparation courses page. Set the ball rolling with a basic general course, then add the missing pieces as you discover them. And when you do get that fantastic GMAT score (or you already have one), let us know. We'll publish your story too.
While you work on the GMAT, also ensure that you research what's in store when it comes to MBA applications and the actual MBA course. Pick up a copy of Beyond The MBA Hype if you are serious about international MBA programs.

This is an awesome story of an awesome achievement!!
at a 780, you could well be hired by Manhattan GMAT !!
A few more details on how you cracked the Verbal section would also help fellow Indians, verbal being the Achilles heel of many.
Congratulations on your ISB admit and I hope you decide what's best for you!!

Wow! Congrats on the 780 score and the ISB admit! Like Pranjali says, a few tips on how you managed the Verbal Section would definitely help aspiring GMATers.
Cheers! All the best!

Congratulations Daljeet, your score and sheer hard-work is an inspiration in itself. People stop at milestones(720) but you my friend had the destination(750+) clear in you thought process.
Do share the verbal preparation part though.
I wish you good luck for the future.

Hi Pranjali / Gopi,
I dont think there is a magic potion to clearing verbal, the only way according to me is to practice. I was generally good in English, so I didnt pay much attention to it initially but when I started giving my first set of mocks I was quite disappointed to see my knowledge of english was not was GMAT was looking for. I had to completely un-learn what I knew, and then start all over again.
The rules of verbal for GMAT are totally different from the ones we normally use in India. So, learning those set of rules is very important specially for Sentence Correction, which I think is the most important in verbal. Plus it is totally based on a set of rules and not subjective like RC etc., so you have a higher chance of getting all the questions here right.
As I mentioned above I did Manhattan GMAT's SC guide atleast 4 time, if you ask me what topic was there on page 74 or so I might still be able to tell you. That helped a lot.
For RC etc., again there is no alternative to practice. Take Kaplan 800 and GMAT official guide should do.

This is absolutely inspiring. Even for a person like me who hardly understands the GMAT thing. But I do know people could be totally crazy about attaining a 700+ in GMAT. The way you put your abilities to further testing by taking the test again even after getting a decent score like 720 is the most insirational part of the story. Wish you all the very best in future and may success be yours in every endeavour.

Hi Daljeet,
Score is just awesome!! Its a wow feeling!!Congrats.I know how one feels when we get returns for the hardwork we invested.
But my query is, u said you r dumped by Duke & wharton.Sorry for that!.
Can u let us know what may be "the probable reasons"?
Did u gave ur interview with their alum?
Even I too got dumped by Wharton for a score of 710. but interview was just too too good. The adcom was very very happy with my presentation. But still i got dunked!!
Would like to hear your story!
| Tuesday, 25 January 2011 at 10:26 am
Hi Govardhan,
I wasnt even given an interview call by Duke / Wharton, so I am sure it pretty much has to do with my essays. Also, yes I was interviewed by a Columbia alum based in India and it went fine, but I guess they had their reasons for not giving me a call.
| Friday, 28 January 2011 at 12:07 pm
Hi Daljeet,
Good to read through this. I too am very confident that a great future is lying for you ahead.
All the best.

Gud Luck.

Hi Dalijeet,
Did u apply for Harvard Business School???
If yes,What happened??
If no,are there any reasons to not apply for HBS???
Could you please clarify on this
| Sunday, 30 October 2011 at 3:54 am
Thanks for stopping by. This is an old post, so I don't think Daljeet is still checking it out for queries/comments. But from the school list he has shared, seems like he didn't apply to Harvard.
Daljeet did not work with us, so I don't know the reasons for his choice of schools (or for that matter, why none of the schools accepted him with such a strong profile). But I'm guessing it had more to do with 'Fit' and individual priorities.

Patrick Duff, once singer in the alternative rock band Strangelove, is now a solo artist in his own right. Having travelled the world recording and playing at festivals he has collaborated with musicians on five continents. He released his first solo album 'Luxury Problems', produced by Adrian Utley of Portishead and Alex Lee of Goldfrapp in 2005.
In 2009 his 2nd album "The Mad Straight Road", a collection of 12 songs that took in Disney soundtracks, The Kinks, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, saw Duff establish himself as a solo artist. His 3rd solo album, "Visions of the Underworld", recorded live in a cottage in Dartmoor and released in 2013, saw him go back to the basics of his voice and his guitar.
Patrick's voice and songs are rich and dark with a hint of pop sensibility. Think Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Nick Cave and Johnny Cash.

Anne Hathaway
While growing up in New Jersey, Anne Hathaway sang in the school choir and appeared in several local theater productions. At 16, she spent a season as the overachieving daughter on the critically acclaimed Get Real. In 2000, she took a timeout from Vassar to portray an unlikely royal opposite Julie Andrews in Disney's The Princess Diaries, a sleeper hit that cemented her future in film. She dusted off the tiara for the sequel in 2004, the same year that she also played a cursed princess in Ella Enchanted. (She moved up to queen in Alice in Wonderland in 2010). She started to shed her kid-friendly image after going topless in Havoc and Brokeback Mountain in 2005. (There's more nudity in store when she reteams with Jake Gyllenhaal in Love And Other Drugs in 2010.) After holding her own against the master Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada, Hathaway earned the freedom to bounce between comedies (Get Smart, Bride Wars) and dramas (The Dark Knight Rises, One Day). Rachel Gets Married nabbed her first Oscar nomination and she became the youngest person ever to host the awards ceremony the following year. She'll likely return to the show as a nominee in 2013 for her gut-wrenching performance in the musical Les Miserables as she's already nominated for a Golden Globe. Her personal life is on an upswing as well after a difficult 2008 break from her four-year relationship with Italian real estate developer Raffaello Follieri, who was sentenced to prison for money laundering, wire fraud conspiracy and other tax crimes. She started dating actor Adam Shulman in 2009 and the twosome tied the knot in September 2012 on the California coast.

The Ultimate Shotgun Training Tool; the Universal Shotgun Trainer LT-120 From LaserLyte. LaserLyte, innovators in firearms laser technologies, have released their first shotgun laser system, the LT-120 Universal Shotgun Trainer laser system. Now shotgunners, from beginners to seasoned pros, can perfect their swing and follow-through on targets, through the innovative LaserLyte concentric laser system. The LaserLyte LT-120 fits all 12 and 20 gauge semi- auto, pump, over-under and side-by-side shotguns. Shotgun training for home defense, target shooting or wing shooting can be learned and perfected in the comfort of one?s own home. The LaserLyte LT-120 fits in the primary barrel?s muzzle-end and produces a sound-activated laser when the user pulls the trigger for each barrel (Example: 2 trigger pull clicks results in 2 activations). The LT-120 projects a ring of 8 red laser dots with one red laser dot in the center as the aiming laser. The circle grows at one-inch per yard, about the same configuration as the shotgun would when aimed at a moving target. The red laser circular pattern gives the user the advantage of a wide field-of-view while using both eyes for aiming. The LaserLyte LT-120 allows shotgun shooters to build muscle reflex skills such as swing, follow-through and sight pattern identification.

FILE - In this Wednesday, March 23, 2011 file photo, Microsoft Corp. founder and philanthropist Bill Gates, right, and his wife Melinda Gates attend to a child as they meet with members of the Mushar community at Jamsot Village near Patna, India. The Gateses won the Lasker public service award "for leading a historic transformation in the way we view the globe�s most pressing health concerns and improving the lives of millions of the world�s most vulnerable," the Lasker foundation said Monday, Sept. 9, 2013. (AP Photo/Aftab Alam Siddiqui, File)
NEW YORK (AP) — Two scientists who illuminated how brain cells communicate, three researchers who developed implants that let deaf people hear and philanthropists Bill and Melinda Gates have won prestigious Lasker Awards for medical research and contributions to public health.
The Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation announced the recipients of the $250,000 prizes on Monday. The awards will be presented Sept. 20 in New York City.
The Gateses won the public service award "for leading a historic transformation in the way we view the globe's most pressing health concerns and improving the lives of millions of the world's most vulnerable," the Lasker foundation said.
They have donated more than $26 billion to their philanthropic foundation. They often team up with agencies that can provide diverse expertise, the Lasker foundation said, noting that they supported an international partnership that has helped immunize hundreds of millions of children against killer diseases. Their current priorities include polio, agriculture and family-planning information and services.
The Lasker clinical medical research award will be shared by Graeme Clark, an emeritus professor at the University of Melbourne in Australia, Ingeborg Hochmair of the company MED-EL in Innsbruck, Austria, and Blake Wilson of Duke University in North Carolina, for developing the modern cochlear (KAH'-klee-er) implant. More than 320,000 people around the world use the implants for severe hearing loss, the foundation said.
The devices stimulate the auditory nerve with electric signals. Hochmair and Clark worked independently, in the face of scientific skepticism that electrical stimulation could produce meaningful hearing. The implants were approved in the U.S. in 1985.
Wilson later designed a new way for implants to process speech, which has allowed most users to understand words and sentences with no visual cues. The advance fueled a growth in implant use that began in the early 1990s, the foundation said.
The Lasker award for basic medical research will be shared by Richard Scheller of the biotech company Genentech and Dr. Thomas Sudhof of Stanford University. With research they began independently in the late 1980s, they unraveled details of how brain cells release chemical messengers to communicate with each other. Scientists are beginning to find connections between the molecular equipment they studied and serious illnesses like Parkinson's disease, the foundation said.

It's nice if you already have your own vehicle. You will be able to go anywhere you want without waiting for the scheduled bus to arrive. You also won't have to put up with strangers who have weird habits and confusing stares. You can be on your own or with company. You can also play your own songs. And if you have work to do, you can already begin working while on the road with the use of portable printers for vehicles. It's hard to find the time to sit down and accomplish things if you are always needed on the road.
This has to change. If you want to use your time efficiently, you have to be able to think of ways that you can work even outside the office. Working at home is easy as long as you have your tools with you. But, if you need to travel, this won't do.
You need some help, and this can come in the form of portable printers. The printer can work well with your laptop so that while the traffic is causing you to stay on the road longer than usual, you can still have some productive work done. Just make sure that you are watchful so that you won't encounter any problems. If you just need to print, you don't have to pay full attention to it. Just let the printer do its work while you look at the road for any signs of movement or danger.
Portable printers for vehicles are effective tools that will help anyone maximize the limited time that he has. Just imagine, you will have more free time and you won't even feel burdened by your work since driving is your main focus but printing in the background can help you finish your work quickly.

The main living area is split level, and has a stone fireplace, a baby grand piano, and comfortable sofas. On a raised level to one side is a modern fully equipped kitchenette and a small elegant dining area. A pretty tiny patio leads off the kitchen, and there is a full bathroom/WC leading off from the dining area. From the first floor terrace there is a narrow wrought iron staircase leading up to a really beautiful split level roof terrace with latticed wood surround, ideal for relaxing in the sun. The roof terraces offer attractive views all around, across to the sea in the distance, over rooftops and old village houses. Due to the village and the nature of the old buildings around, not all of the terraces of Villa Athena are entirely private. The house is also not suitable for those with mobility difficulties but the terraces of the villa have been designed with the safety of children in mind.
The nearest beach can be found at a distance of 3 km. There are some village mini-markets and tavernas, within walking distance, and there is a bus service to Rethymnon, but we consider car hire to be essential.

Location & area
The residence is situated in the center of the traditional village of Loutra in the municipality of Arkadi/Rethymnon. During the Venetian rule over Crete this village was owned by the aristocrat Mattheos Kallergis. Much of this atmosphere has been preserved, like picturesque narrow streets, arcades, a fountain with an Arab inscription and more. The village is situated in 12 km distance to Rethymnon and about 3 km to the sea and is surrounded by olive groves.
The nearest beach can be found at a distance of 3 km. There are some village mini-markets and tavernas, within walking distance, and there is a bus service to Rethymnon, but we consider car hire to be essential.
Aboe picturesque town of Rethymno, is the capital town of the province of the same name. This province extends from the White Mountains (Lefka Ori) to the Idi Mountains through to the borders of the provinces of Chania and Heraklion. Rethymno is positioned on the north coast of Crete, 80 km west from Heraklion, and 75 km east of Chania, where the two airports of Crete are to be found, about an hour's drive away by car. Rethymno harbour has a direct ferry connection with the mainland of Greece. The mediaeval old town of Rethymno, with its narrow streets, Venetian palaces and Turkish minarets has a distinct atmosphere. The oriental flavour of the town brings to life the ever changing history since ancient times. Along with the numerous seemingly unlimited sights to see and the beautiful old town, with the Venetian 'Fortezza' or fortress, the scenic harbour, and the many enticing tavernas, cafes and restaurants with wonderful Cretan delicacies, Rethymno has one of the most magnificent fine sandy beaches, which stretches to the east almost as far as the eye can see. The beach, which is the longest in Crete, continues for several kilometres, here and there en route broken into small shingle coves where here and there one can find the scattered tiny hamlets reminiscent of the mountain villages. Altogether between Rethymno to the town of Prinos there are no less than 8 beaches, which have been awarded the European Blue Flag. There is much to delight in exploring the many different archaeological sites, monasteries, churches, Venetian and Turkish monuments and memorials, and of course there are archaeological, historical and folk museums, as well as other art museums waiting to be visited. Exploring one of the many Cretan gorges in this area, is sure to reward you with the sight of numerous caves and little grottos. Those of you who delight in traditional customs, will enjoy the numerous cultural festivals and traditional days of celebration in Rethymno, where you get the opportunity to experience a slice of Cretan life.
Religious days, the seasonal times of the year and many other reasons mostly form the basis for the regional and public festivities. So in the middle of July you will find for example the Cretan wine festival with its 500 year old tradition, which lasts three weeks and is attended by thousands of people. Of further interest, in the many outlying villages not far from Rethymno, traditional handicrafts are still very much alive. For example, the lovely pottery in Margarites, or the basket weaving of Mixorrouma, the traditional stone masonry in Alfa, or the village of Anogia where lengths of material are still woven on traditional weaving looms, and where traditional Cretan folk art is still being produced. There are also interesting wood carving workshops in Argyroupoli, Agios Konstantinos and Margarites.ut the twon and the surrounding

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Kevin Durant poured in 32 points and pulled down nine rebounds as Oklahoma City topped the Los Angeles Clippers, 104-87, at Staples Center.
James Harden tallied 17 points, while Russell Westbrook had a great all-around effort with 15 points, nine assists, seven steals and six rebounds. Jeff Green ended with 14 points and Nenad Krstic added 13 with 11 boards for the Thunder, who bounced back from a 119-90 Wednesday loss at Denver to win for the fourth time in five contests.
"Our defense has gotten us this far and it helped us tonight," Harden said. "We were able to get some steals that led to some easy baskets."
The Thunder held an 18-2 advantage in fast-break points.
Chris Kaman had 19 points and 15 rebounds for the Clippers, who have lost two straight and four of five. Craig Smith also scored 19, while Rasual Butler ended with 17 for Los Angeles, which shot 37.2 percent from the field.
"Our energy was better in the second half," Clippers coach Kim Hughes said. "It's tough to win a game when your guards are shooting 6-for-28. We've got to bail each other out on defense."
There wasn't much to cheer on the Clippers' side. Their last lead of the game came at 4-2 on a Butler layup. The Thunder scored 11 in a row later in the first quarter for a 17-6 cushion. Krstic had three straight baskets during the burst and it was 31-21 after 12 minutes.
The Clippers got within four a few times in the second, but trailed 53-46 at the break.
A three-pointer by Butler had the hosts within 68-64 with 4:07 left in the third, but Oklahoma City netted the ensuing eight points, culminated by a Westbrook layup.
Oklahoma City led 78-69 moving to the fourth and essentially put the game away by scoring the opening eight points of the final frame.

How extra customers annoy the council
Council refuses to collect bins from culs-de-sac - Telegraph
Russell Clark, Uttlesford's waste and recycling officer, said efficiency savings had to be made because a glut of new housing had increased the number of households from 11,000 to 16,000 within two years.
But rather than increase the amount of money spent on waste collection, in line with increased revenue from council tax, Mr Clark said the council is trying to make savings.
I'm all for councils making savings but do they really understand this customer service thing? If BurgerKing's customer numbers grow from 11,000 to 16,000 they don't complain how hard it is and how all those extra burgers cost them too much money, they get on with serving them and use the increased efficiencies of scale to keep their prices down. Why is it so hard for a council to do this?
