Many of us know someone who has been affected by melanoma – a parent, child, friend, cousin or coworker. Not too many people know that we are watching a two time survivor each day deliver the 11 a.m. news. WGN-TV Midday anchor Dina Bair is drumming up support from her fellow media personalities to come and help her celebrate being cancer free while getting the word out about the importance of being checked for melanoma. "For too long, people fighting this cancer have had few treatment options, recently, people fighting melanoma have seen some important treatment breakthroughs, and scientists are getting close to cracking the code to effectively treating melanoma" said Jennifer Gilbert one of the race organizers for TEB's Troops Miles for Melanoma taking place on Sunday, July 29th at Montrose Harbor (601 W. Montrose Drive, Chicago). The 5k run and walk will start at 9 a.m. rain or shine.
The start of this race is a special one, a time where you hear from survivors including Bair who will bring a tear to your eye. Hearing about her personal struggle with melanoma and seeing her four lovely children and adoring husband as they cheer for her to cross the finish line. Bair's children are growing and lacing up their shoes (her youngest just finished a 5k on Fathers day!) This is a special race for Bair and her family. Bair shares her story.
Q: How did you get involved with the run?
A: The two incredible women who started the race contacted me, hoping I would help them carry on the spirit of their lost friend . TEB (Trisha E. Black) was a young mother who battled valiantly but passed away after melanoma spread through her body. Teb was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic melanoma at 29 years old. She had a 9 month old son. Wanting to rally her "troops" her friends started the "TEB's Troops" race now teaming with the Melanoma Research Foundation it's called "TEB's Troops Miles for Melanoma."
Q: What does this race mean to you?
A: When I first emceed this event, I had recently been diagnosed with Melanoma. I was a mother like Teb. I felt guilty standing there giving a speech knowing the strong woman for whom the race was named was gone. But her friends and family offered me support and hope. This disease is particularly devastating because there are very few effective treatments. If the disease spreads to a place where it cannot be surgically removed (Brain, Lungs, Liver are the first places), the cancer is deadly. That is why research is so critical. This race helps raise funds for the study to find lifesaving treatments. As I live in fear of the disease popping up somewhere else in my body, I know our efforts will make a difference.
Q: How is this has this affected you as a mom?
A: This is my second battle with cancer. The first time I was diagnosed, I asked how will the treatment affect my ability to have children? Now, all I worried about were my four kids. When the doctor said "there is no effective treatment," all I heard was "four kids, no Mom." That was devastating. Now my kids come to this race and they support me as a survivor and work to raise money to give me and every other person who will face Melanoma a fighting chance.
Q: Will your kids be running with you this year?
Yes! They give me the strength the finish strong on a bum knee!
A: What would you like to add to get people to come out and participate with you?
When I was battling cancer, I ran and competed in races to feel strong. I knew it was the one thing I could do to build up my endurance and give me the tools I needed to stay healthy. Join me in this race to embrace your own power over your health, to feel the breeze along the lakefront, to look at the serene views of the water, to experience the emotion of people all coming together for a common goal and to feel the warmth of knowing you ARE making a difference!
Your participation in Miles for Melanoma funds important research. You can be a part of the next discovery – one that will help people with melanoma live longer, better lives.

One of the (few) upsides of the offseason is that it reminds me why I am a baseball fan and not a fan of these other crazy sports. Like the sport with the helicopter mom for a commissioner. Looking at you, David Stern. Or the sport where the fans turn on their starting quarterback after one game, one game, and call for him to never-evah be started again. Looking at you, Niners fans. Now look, I'm not a fan of these sports. I follow them very tangentially. So you can argue that Colin Kaepernick is the greatest thing to happen to the planet since Peter Jackson decided to make the Hobbit movies a trilogy until you're blue in the face and you probably won't convince me of anything. A) Because they tried to fine Alex Smith $25,000 for wearing a Giants hat and he drove in the parade, which forever endeared him to me and also because I think fans should be a little less, ahem, fair-weather.
Let's not even argue about David Stern. I found a list of signs you might be a helicopter parents on a site called Momservations and the #1 sign is: "You run out on a field of play during a time-out to apply sunscreen." Which is, like, totally a David Stern thing to do. I mean, I can just imagine it.
Also, this sign: "Your kid can't hear what the coach is telling them to do because of your yelling from the stands." This is getting eerie, people.
Anyway, in kinda-sorta-not-really-at-all baseball news, I went to the CJM yesterday for The Radical Camera exhibit and if you're in the area, it's really a fascinating portrait of early to mid 20th century America, not to mention it's side by side with an exhibit about the picture book writer and illustrator Ezra Jack Keats, which is amazing.
And guess what postcard I came home with?
That one. #RallyZitoSanitaryBakery.

Rating: 4.60 out of 10 votes cast
I had high hopes for this coat to replace a camel colored one that the moths had their way with. I was extremely disappointed in the quality of this coat. While the fit wasn't bad, the fabric was stiff and had many flaws including greenish spots of dye all over the coat... No quality control... Chadwick's used to have better fabrics...what happened?Had to return. Zero Stars!
Parma, MI

I received this coat about three weeks back and I wear it when I possibly can. I love this coat. It is warm, and it fits beautifully. It is a wonderful buy....I know, I looked everywhere for a long wool camel-colored coat. The color is just like the picture and I love it. It is very classy. I can't say enough good things about this coat. Love it.

A Perfect Coat
I purchased this coat over a year ago in Camel however, it collects too much lint therefore, I am now purchasing it in Charcoal. That's how much I love the coat! Good for dresses and skirts actually keeps legs warm.
St Louis
I ordered this coat about 10 years ago in the pumpkin spice just to add a bit of color to my coat wardrobe....LOVE that color!I was fortunate to find a beautiful bulky knit scarf to accentuate the coat and I get many compliments whenever I wear it. I have since gained a bit of weight but it still fits me well. I wish Chadwick's would offer it in black and also in heather gray as I would like to have those colors as well.

It's been a couple of weeks since Barack Obama, referring to small business, passionately declared words he probably now wished he hadn't in a speech in Roanoke, Virginia. "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." He was referring to the country's infrastructure – the roads and bridges.
Here's a reality check on launching a business and making it a success. It takes more than a dream, and it takes more than roads and bridges. It takes sacrifice. Money. Time. Energy. Drive. Risk. And less government intervention. Rules and regulations on make it almost impossible for small entrepreneurs to succeed today.
This October TCW celebrates its 30th anniversary. Looking back, it's almost farcical how politicians on both sides of the political fence have made stupid laws, levied more taxes and pandered to big business lobbyists, while small entrepreneurs struggle to deal with their 'help.' It's painfully obvious that small business doesn't really count to them. Entrepreneurs struggling to keep their ventures alive know that only too well.
Someone recently commented on how proud I must be to approach three decades of publishing. I'm not. Reflecting back, all I can say is that I plodded along, day after day, meeting deadlines and absorbed in making it work with significant help – certainly not from the government, but from a very small staff who shared a passion for highlighting the achievements of Chicago area women. And from the support of TCW advertisers, freelancers, and friends. In fact, the stories I could tell about trying and failing to fund a business with the help of government or financial institutions would make for a great sitcom. So, I guess another trait that should be added to an entrepreneur's checklist is humor. And plenty of it.

You get the sense that he is on the inside looking out, while you are on the outside looking in at something more complicated to you, but simple to him.
This is because Anderson's view of accounting appears more colorful than some of his peers. His view has more in common with his values than with mathematics. This CPA has taken a profession of facts and figures and turned it into a descriptive trade that people can easily understand and relate to.
"I was never interested in numbers as a child," Anderson admits. "In fact, mathematics was an extreme challenge for me academically. Fortunately, accounting is not about numbers. It's about telling a story of business activity through numbers. I have always been great at telling stories and reading stories. Accountants are, in fact, historians and history has been a favorite of mine since early childhood."
But there is nothing boring about the way Anderson tells "a story of business activity through numbers." Using enthusiasm, gestures and illustrations to explain what he does and how he does it, this tax expert is clearly in his comfort zone when it comes to discussing the process of keeping financial accounts.
He has a bachelor's degree in business from Illinois Wesleyan University and a master of business administration from Illinois State University. Having worked with an international accounting firm, partnered in regional as well as local firms and acted as sole proprietor of small businesses in several industries, Anderson is highly qualified to excel at complex accounting work and help individuals and businesses achieve financial security.
Having been the chief financial officer of several businesses in the Southeast Tennessee region, including the current CPA for The Academy of Mutual Interest in Motion Pictures LLC, Anderson has achieved a degree of expertise beyond that of a normal accountant. In fact, he can practice as a CPA in 48 states.
Every two years CPAs must take 80 hours of continuing education courses to maintain their license and stay abreast of changes in their profession.
These multifaceted professionals are capable of performing a variety of highly specialized job functions, including but not limited to tax advisory services, business consultation, auditing, financial reporting, information technology and management consultation.
According to Anderson, every financial circumstance in every business environment can benefit from CPA services.
"As financial reporting becomes increasingly complex, there is a greater opportunity for criminal activity and negligence," Anderson said. "Tighter regulations passed by the Securities and Exchange Commission need to be complemented by CPAs with honesty and integrity, in order to put a stop to white-collar crime and financial misstatements.
"Forensic accountants working with independent financial organizations, firms, local and state police, the IRS, and the FBI to expose fraud and capital crimes. They are frequently called upon to testify during criminal trials as expert witnesses."
While all CPAs are accountants, not all accountants are CPAs. To become a CPA, an accountant must take and pass a series of rigorous tests administered by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
"Lots of people can prepare tax returns for individuals, businesses, estates and trusts," Anderson said. "Many do fine work — others, not so fine. The IRS, over the past few years, has become concerned about the quality of tax return preparers. They have instituted several programs to identify Certified Tax Return Preparers. These people need to take an exam to qualify and receive 15 hours of update training each year — several hours of this training involves ethics. None of this is required of CPAs. One of the differences, then, is that CPAs have a recognized knowledge base on ethical standards while others need to prove themselves to gain a PTIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number) from the IRS.
"Another difference is that the normal preparer may be very good at asking their customers' basic questions related to the specific returns they are preparing. CPAs, on the other hand, have clients, not customers. Their questions are more about the story of the clients' many and varied business activities for the past year. CPAs can get really good at discovering tax-related activities by pursuing the story, not the canned questions."
Anderson said the big advantage to individuals and businesses in using a CPA involves the notion that the rules involving business operations as well as taxes are changing at light speed.
"The no-professional is very much about, 'This is the way we have always done it!' The CPA thinks it's his or her responsibility to do a report, and assist the client in keeping up — or ahead of — the changes," he explained. "What you don't know in this age is likely to hurt you. CPAs have a place in the modern information system that puts them on the leading edge of changes, often well before they happen.
"For example, we do traditional bookkeeping. But then we develop operational reports out of the traditional monthly reporting so the small-business man can convert 'what he is doing' to 'how he is doing.' That is one of the changes I am emphasizing in my practice. Another is forensic accounting, which is finding the source of lost profits and identifying fraudulent transactions as well as fair value accounting. It's a trend that's especially helpful to small and medium-sized businesses. It's also a critical skill for all accountants."
Those who know Anderson are also aware of his skill as an "Angel Flight" pilot and his passion for helping people in need. When asked why he volunteers his service to fly people for free to certain destinations — paying all of the cost except fuel, which is provided by Bradley Sunrise Rotary — Anderson related a recent experience as the best of all answers.
In mid-December, Anderson flew Terry Lee Messer and his mother, Bobby Mullins, to Nashville while doctors at Vanderbilt hospital were in a race to save his life.
"I flew Mr. Messer to Nashville to be examined for a possible liver transplant," Anderson said. "This was an exam to see if he was well enough for a transplant. I would then be on call in the future when a donated organ became available. Mr. Messer had never flown before. I understand he was occasionally homeless and living with his mother during this time of illness."
Anderson described the beauty of the night flight amid twinkling lights from houses and traffic below, calling it "a magical sight." The colorful holiday lights made the flight all the more mesmerizing from an aerial perspective as they descended upon Nashville. It was a trip that granted Messer a special highlight in his life — offering him his first and only view of earth from high above. More than that, it was an opportunity for Messer to experience the unselfish love of a pilot who was willing to go out of his way to help his fellow man.
"A short car ride to the hospital and a phone call several hours later saying Mr. Messer had been admitted — that he and his mother would be staying overnight— and the solo ride home completed the mission," Anderson said.
Then on Dec. 22, Anderson received a call from Messer's 77-year-old mother, stating her son had passed away.
"His liver had caused complications, his kidneys failed and all of this was more than his body could handle," Anderson explained. "It was a short phone call — two or three minutes. She thanked me for giving them a ride. But mostly, she described how much her son had enjoyed the experience of flying. It was the gift of a very bright moment for a person who was otherwise in a very dark place. That's why I do what I do."
Anderson said his faith impacts his daily life, whether it is related to business or anything else, adding he feels being "a person of faith does have an impact on my work. It's the reason why I handle myself the way that I do. I don't think it makes me a better accountant. It just makes me the accountant that I am. I enjoy meeting people. I enjoy helping people."
Over the past 25 years Anderson has made more than 100 flights to help people in need who counted on the kindness of strangers to help them get well or survive.
"Angel Flights do provide me with an experience that could be called 'the joy of flying,'" Anderson admits. "But much more than that, they provide me with the opportunity to give. Whether they are kids or adults — whether it's their very first flight or another in a long series — I get to give the passenger transportation they could not otherwise afford. You can see it in their faces. You can hear it in their voices. You can feel the energy. It's called giving. Try it, you'll like it!"
His friends say Bob Anderson is a CPA people can count on, who counts for something more than being trustworthy, but who realizes that he too must render an account for his honesty, integrity and values — as a professional CPA and as a man.

On a gorgeous, sunny day last month, the Saks Fifth Avenue Michigan Avenue shoe department was filled with scores of fashionable Chicago women. And while some may have been browsing for a pair of Manolos or Jimmy Choos, many were there to enjoy a glass of wine and meet New York Times best-selling author Emily Giffin.
On the fifth stop of her 11-city book tour, the Naperville native spoke about her sixth novel, Where We Belong (St. Martin's Press, $27.99), and signed copies for attendees. Here, Ms. Giffin gives us a glimpse into her literary world – and beyond!
What was your inspiration for Where We Belong? At its heart, the book is about secrets and what happens to us, and to those closest to us, when we keep them. I've always been intrigued by the power of secrets. When is it justifiable to keep them from the ones we love? And does keeping them irrevocably change who we are? Adoption (under the secretive circumstances in Where We Belong) seemed to be a great way to explore some of those broader themes.
Which character do you identify with most? I don't know if I identify with her the most, but I just love Kirby. She's probably my favorite character in any of my books. I think she's so wise for her age – an old soul with a lot of heart. I can relate to her in some ways, but she's much braver than I was at 18.
What do you hope your readers take away from this book? I think from time to time we all struggle with the question of who we are. Our identity. Where do we come from and where do belong? I hope that, when people read the book, they see the answers to such questions a little more clearly.
You've talked about the feedback you've already received from readers. How does it feel each time someone sends you a note about how they connect with your writing? It goes beyond encouraging and affirming. It has become, even beyond my passion for writing, the main reason I do what I do.
As a Chicago native, where do you like to shop, eat, hang out, et cetera? I grew up in Naperville and later clerked at the law firm Winston and Strawn. But as an adult, I only spend time here on vacation and book tours. I still consider Chicago home, though, and love the culture, vibe and people. I always stay at the Peninsula, which is one of my favorite hotels (with one of the best bars!) in the world. And at least once during my stay, I will have breakfast at the nearby diner Tempo (best omelets in the world!). As for shopping, it's tough to beat Chicago. I love the jewelry counter at Barney's, as well as the many boutiques in the area, including Henry Beguelin, Blake and Ikram. When I bring my children, we go to Sox and Cubs games (a house divided!), the American Girl store, Oak Street Beach and many wonderful museums. Recently, my husband and even talked about moving back from Atlanta. Believe it or not, I even miss the cold. Christmas should not be 50 degrees!
You went from practicing law to becoming a writer. What advice do you have for women who want to make a complete career switch? Picture your life in 10 years if you don't make the change. Fear of future regret has always motivated me. Remind yourself that nothing has to be permanent. If you don't like the change, you can always return to what it was you were doing before. Isn't it worth a try? Finally, don't listen to the naysayers. I still remember the elevator doors closing at my law firm on my last day of work, and the smirking partner I worked for pointing at me, snidely saying, "Good luck with that book!" Use those moments to motivate you.

I really like it! I'm gonna buy another one with different color. This is too cheap but the quality is so good. You rock miniinthebox!

The first item that I buy at MiniInTheBox that deserves my 5 stars. Here is the reason why: Anti-skidding is just perfect, light and not too strong so I can put it on my jeans pocket without much resistance and when I place it upright and against a wall it feels 100 % secure and it will not slip (even Android robot is happy about it...) Case looks strong. You also have an iPad Mini you know that i...

Its actually an idea/suggestion that keeps spinning in my head that would make every agot lcg palyer really happy!!
How many of you do have surplus characters-attachments- events and lack the gold/influence providing locations to form a viable deck?
How many of you have already bought the core set multiple times just to form additional decks?( i know i have…)
Ok, you can always switch the locations between decks but still its really time consuming if you want to play the decks as well…The way i see it, basic locations are just essentials to every deck build and you dont have the option to replace them with other cards, so you cant have them in 3x like the rest of the cards. Say for example i want to build a war crest,a holy,a discard and a choke GJ deck, i have to buy kings of the sea 4x just for the locations.
Imagine now a chapter pack that would have the basic locations of each house (+neutral), that would be pretty awesome

Dragon's Dogma (With Resident Evil 6 Demo Download Code) Xbox 360 8 New from £11.99 Free delivery Available used from £4.98
5 Surprise RPGPosted: 05/06/2012I purchased this game after seeing the demo and being interested in the fighting. It has the best fantasy combat I have seen in any RPG.It also manages to back this up with an interesting free roaming world and a better than most quest system.There are very good challenges in the quests and especially in fighting the monsters - which actually require different tactics to defeat.Fighting after dark should also in avoided if you are new as the monster AI is excellent and will use the darkness against you!!All in all a very pleasant surprise to find a little gem of a game.However, it is pretty hardcore RPG and takes a while to understand the system - but the reward is a cracking fantasy game worth playing.

I have stuck with the same lotion my whole career, and then I had a client that was allergic to propylene glycol so I tried to find lotion that didn't contain that ingredient. This is the one I chose and I really like it. I don't have to apply the lotion nearly as often, so it is actually lasting longer than the cheaper stuff I used to use.
I love Organica lotion. It has great glide, doesn't ball up, leaves skin feeling smooth and not greasy. My clients love it too. I also love that it is organic.
I got an 8oz bottle of this to try after deciding to switch from my old lotion of choice. This has a faint fragrance that i find fresh and kind of pleasant. It absorbs a little quick and i have to use a bit more than usual for a good glide. It gets a little sticky, but not in a bad way like some other lotions i've tried. I liked it and my clients did too.
I LOVE this lotion but have found that the generic 1/2 gal pump does not work with this particular product very well. Upon digging around the MW website I found Bon Vital pumps. Bought them and voila! They work great! If you get this product make sure you get the Bon Vital pumps. I went through 3 generic pumps before I figured this out!
Great glide whether I'm doing light touch or deep tissue! Love the fact that there is no alcohol in this product! Highly recommend!

The holidays are upon us again and a New Year just around the corner. Time for a change.
Lately, I've become restless here at Cinema Styles. I don't feel I'm doing enough of what I want to with this blog on a weekly basis. I want to do more reviews, introduce new features (that inevitably fall by the wayside), spark more discussion. Since November, I've let Cinema Styles slide a bit, not devoting as much time to it as I should. The last couple of months have produced far more picture posts than previous months and I want more than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my picture posts and have no intention of stopping them, it's just that there's more I want to do. And that 'more' is this: Opinion. What do I mean? I mean this: As the hits have increased I feel I have pulled back on writing from the gut and going with my instincts.
But more to the point, I've shied away from more controversial topics or just expressing an opinion that might land me in a bit of hot water with fellow cinephiles and I'm bored with it. I'm not saying I want to become that "jerk blogger" who's always burning bridges but I want to get back to why I started this blog in the first place: To write about movies, to express my love for them and to be honest in my reactions. A part of this feeling comes from reading bloggers like Flickhead, Marilyn, Kimberly and Arbogast. Not that there aren't other bloggers like them (so if I didn't mention you it's not an intentional slight) it's just that those bloggers come to mind as examples of writers who not only speak their minds (anyone can do that) but back their opinions up with solid writing, good examples and just the right amount of attitude. Flickhead and Arbogast consistently amaze me with their blunt, to the point reactions that don't come off as offensive or insulting like some young, scorched earth bloggers I've read. And Kimberly and Marilyn seem able to inject politics into their writing without fear of backlash. So I'm impressed and want to get back there myself (waits for collective groan about posts on racism in the movies and documentaries about nuclear arms starting up again).
So that's my New Year's Resolution, to stop second-guessing myself and my posts. It's an easy resolution to keep. Anyone who's been blogging any significant amount of time (and in the blogging world, two years is considered a significant amount of time) knows that you get to a point where you just don't care anymore about keeping up with Joneses, you stop worrying about how many posts you have and on what topic and you just start writing for yourself again and hope people will find you interesting enough to read. Just ask Dennis or Larry. It's clear they both arrived there in the last couple of years and seem more relaxed than ever with their blogging. The Siren got their long ago too it seems. And now, hopefully, so will I.
And now some parting morsels:
*In January I will, believe it or not, have a short post looking back at the scant few movies I've seen from 2008. I've seen a lot more in the last few weeks and am rotating through nothing but 2008 movies in my Netflix queue right now.
*Also, in January, Marilyn kicks off the first ever post for The Oldest Established Really Important Film Club at Ferdy on Films. The film will be The True Meaning of Pictures: Shelby Lee Adams' Appalachia and all are invited to join in. Once the post goes up there will be a permanent link here. For now, it simply links to Marilyn's blog. In February I will take a hold of the reins with The Tin Drum. As for March, no word from Rick yet on what that might be but check in at the Film Club for updates.
*I've got movie books. Lots of movie books. And you're going to hear about them. I enjoyed writing up The Haunted Cinema in October and want to write about others as well.
*Name that Movie will continue and we may soon have a winner. Arbogast stands at eight (first to ten wins) but has not guessed the last three. Is Arbo slipping?
*Currently working on two movies. One is a montage that I'm very pleased with and is a little different than what you're used to here. It should be ready by February. The other is a short film in which I'm going for a specific reaction based on horror motifs and built-in genre expectations by producing a film ( about two-thirds done at this point) with no characters that are seen on the screen or dialogue heard and yet the viewer not only understands what is happening, and understands what characters are involved, but is viscerally affected by it. It won't be shown here of course, it will be on my personal blog. So why am I telling you? Because once I'm done I might e-mail a few of you to ask your opinion of it, that's why. Be completely honest of course, while somehow finding a way to kiss my ass at the same time.
*Tomorrow or Wednesday, I'll be putting up my Holiday montage, a video card for all my readers and wonderful friends I have made here on this blog. And then...
*I'm taking a few days off. I'll have a post here or there before the New Year but don't count on anything big until we're into 2009. I'll leave the video up for a few days, visit and comment on other blogs and generally just relax (so everyone write lots of important stuff that I can read while I'm taking a break from Cinema Styles). But that's not until Wednesday. For now, I'm still around, and speaking of resolutions, still smoking. Come Monday, January 5th, that ends too. Yikes. Wish me luck.

[OS] RUSSIA/IRAN/US/ISRAEL/UN/ENERGY - Soviet scientist denies helping Iran develop atomic bomb

MOSCOW | Thu Nov 10, 2011 1:52pm IST
(Reuters) - A Soviet scientist has denied being the brains behind Iran's
nuclear programme, despite U.S. media reports that he helped put Tehran on
the threshold of making an atomic bomb, a Russian newspaper said on
The United Nations' nuclear watchdog said in a report issued this week
that it had strong indications that a foreign expert had helped Iran
develop a "high explosives detonation system" but did not identify this
The Washington Post newspaper cited intelligence reports that named the
foreign expert as Vyacheslav Danilenko and said he had assisted the
Iranians for at least five years.
Kommersant, one of Russia's leading newspapers, said it had tracked down
Danilenko, now 76. It said he had worked for decades at one of Russia's
top secret nuclear weapons research centres, known in Soviet times as
"I am not a nuclear physicist and am not the founder of the Iranian
nuclear programme," Danilenko was quoted as telling the newspaper. He
declined any further comment, Kommersant said.
Kommersant said Danilenko was one of the world's top experts on
detonation nanodiamonds, the creation of tiny diamonds from conventional
explosions for a variety of uses from lubricants to medicine.
Hard evidence that Iran has sought a nuclear bomb is extremely sensitive
as it could prompt an attack on the Islamic Republic by Israel, a step
Russia has said would spark a catastrophic war in the Middle East.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said in its report this week that
Iran appears to have worked on designing an atomic bomb and may still be
conducting secret research, prompting Western leaders to call for more
sanctions against Tehran.
Russia criticised the U.N. nuclear watchdog report, saying it contained
no new evidence and was being used to undercut efforts to reach a
diplomatic solution. Iran denies it is seeking to build a nuclear weapon.
Israeli media have speculated that the Jewish state may strike Iran,
though it is unclear whether the United States has the appetite for
risking another conflict while President Barack Obama tries to bring back
troops from Afghanistan.
Danilenko did not immediately answer a request for comment.
The Washington Post said Danilenko was believed to have tutored the
Iranians over several years on building detonators which could be used to
trigger a nuclear chain reaction.
He worked at the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Technical
Physics (VNIITF), a top secret nuclear weapons research centre in the Ural
mountains, from the 1950s until retirement.
Kommersant said Danilenko had also worked in Ukrainian nanodiamond
company Alit from 1992 to 1996.
The company's director, Vladimir Padalko, said U.S. and IAEA officials
had contacted him several times in previous years for information about
"I told them that nanodiamonds have no relation whatsoever to nuclear
weapons. They were interested in Danilenko's work in Iran," the paper
quoted Padalko as saying.
Padalko confirmed that Danilenko had worked in Iran in the second half of
the 1990s, primarily on nanodiamonds but also reading lectures.
Kommersant said a 2010 monograph by Danilenko entitled "Explosion: the
physics, the science, the technology" included research on gas dynamics,
shock waves, high-velocity strikes and explosions in various mediums.

Hublot lance la Big Bang Ferrari en Nouvelle Zélande
Fechar Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe touched down in Auckland, New Zealand for the first time on 10th August 2012, to celebrate the launch of the company's Big Bang Ferrari timepieces.
Hosted at the Ferrari Showrooms, VIP guests of Hublot's exclusive NZ retailer, Partridge Jewellers, were treated to dinner and a first look at the range – the product of the new partnership between Hublot and Ferrari.
Speaking at a presentation during the evening, Mr Guadalupe said the two brands were undertaking a 360-degree relationship that will ensure all future activities take a truly collaborative approach.
"We share so many of the same values, like technology, design and quality, and overall we both have such a passion for what we do".
Glenn Peachey, of Partridge Jewellers, said the strongly attended event was a thrill for 100 of his top customers.
"These were serious watch enthusiasts, so the opportunity to spend time with Mr Guadalupe, one of the change-makers of the Swiss watch
industry, was a real bonus.
"Hublot is an emerging brand in New Zealand, but it definitely has some firm fans now."

Al Qaeda's No. 2 killed in Pakistan
August 27, 2011 2:04 PM
Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, an operational leader who rose to number two in
al Qaeda, was reported killed in Pakistan. (CBS/AP/U.S. State
WASHINGTON - Al Qaeda's second-in-command, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, has
been killed in Pakistan, delivering another big blow to a terrorist
group that the U.S. believes to be on the verge of defeat, a senior
Obama administration official said Saturday.
The Libyan national who was the network's former operational leader
rose to al Qaeda's No. 2 spot after the U.S. killed al Qaeda leader
Osama bin Laden during a raid on his Pakistan compound in May.
Al-Rahman was killed Aug. 22 in the lawless Pakistani tribal region of
Waziristan, according to the official, who insisted on anonymity to
discuss intelligence issues.
The official would not say how al-Rahman was killed. But his death
came on the same day that a CIA drone strike was reported in
Waziristan. Such strikes by unmanned aircraft are Washington's weapon
of choice for killing terrorists in the mountainous, hard-to-reach
area along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
Al-Rahman, believed to be in his mid-30s, was a close confidant of bin
Laden and once served as bin Laden's emissary to Iran.
A U.S. official told CBS News al-Rahman spoke on behalf of both Osama
bin Laden and Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahiri, and was the one
affiliates "knew and trusted."
"There's no question this is a major blow to al Qaeda," the official
told CBS News Homeland Security correspondent Bob Orr. "Atiyah was at
the top of al Qaeda's trusted core. He ran daily operations for the
group since Shaykh Sa'id al-Masri was killed last year, and has been
Zawahiri's second-in-command since Bin Laden's death in May."
"He planned the details of al Qaeda operations and its propaganda,"
the official told CBS News. "His combination of background,
experience, and abilities are unique in al Qaeda - without question,
they will not be easily replaced.
"Zawahiri needed Atiyah's experience and connections to help manage al
Qaeda; now it will be even harder for him to consolidate control."
Al-Rahman was allowed to move freely in and out of Iran as part of
that arrangement and had been operating out of Waziristan for some
time, officials have said.
Born in Libya, al-Rahman joined bin Laden as a teenager in Afghanistan
to fight the Soviet Union.
After Navy SEALs killed bin Laden, they found evidence of al-Rahman's
role as operational chief, U.S. officials have said.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said last month that al Qaeda's defeat
was within reach if the U.S. could mount a string of successful
attacks on the group's weakened leadership.
"Now is the moment, following what happened with bin Laden, to put
maximum pressure on them," Panetta said, "because I do believe that if
we continue this effort we can really cripple al Qaeda as a major

Parent Krista Thomas says Garvey Elementary, which is on CPS' closure list, is well-used and well-loved. She is fighting to keep it open and refuses to send her children to their assigned school, calling it inferior. (Kate N. Grossman photo)
Updated: May 5, 2013 2:51PM
This is what one "half-empty" Chicago public school looks like:
Just about every classroom at Garvey Elementary, a cozy and well-loved Washington Heights school, is in use.
In fact, during a visit on Monday to the school, where colorful and neatly displayed student projects and artwork line bright yellow walls, we didn't see a single room going unused.
Garvey has air-conditioned classrooms, a well-stocked library, a garden, an art room, a computer lab, several small science labs and the kind of discipline and order in the classroom and hallway that tell a visitor this school has its act together.
These are the things CPS says it wants all schools to have. Of course, most of these strengths and amenities were conveniently left off the fact sheet the school system distributed about Garvey.
On paper, Garvey, with roughly 300 students, is about 50 percent used. Staff say a few rooms aren't fully used. That's how it landed among the 54 schools proposed for closure. It's to be consolidated with Mount Vernon Elementary, three blocks to the south in a quiet residential neighborhood of bungalows on the Far South Side.
This page strongly supports closing severely underused schools. It's right for those schools, and it's right for CPS to redirect money from underused schools to enhance other schools, as it plans to do.
But, as we've said repeatedly, 54 closures by this summer — affecting 109 schools and about 30,000 kids after receiving schools are added in — is far too many. It is too massive an undertaking to do at all at once.
Two kinds of mistakes are inevitable in such a rush: mistakes while relocating such an unwieldy number of students and mistakes in closing the wrong schools.
Like Garvey.
On our visit, children sure didn't look "trapped," as the mayor and the schools chief like to say about students in under-enrolled schools. We didn't see much flab, either. On a tour of the small building with a parent — the principal wasn't involved — we saw an intimate school making good use of its space. Parents at many other schools, including Trumbull and Courtenay, also are making good cases for their schools.
Hearings on each proposed closure start Saturday. We urge CPS to listen — which it has done so far in this process — and remove more names from the closure list. CPS says Mount Vernon, a large, recently renovated building, is at 44 percent capacity. It likely has space, but merging it with Garvey makes little sense, especially since Garvey looks better academically.
Yes, Garvey is a "Level 3" school, the lowest rating, and is on probation, while Mount Vernon is a Level 2 and not on probation.
But Garvey is new to probation just this year, while Mount Vernon was on probation from 2005 to 2011. And get this: Mount Vernon progressed to Level 2 in large part because its scores and attendance have grown — an important achievement — but they have grown to be just below Garvey's level.
At Mount Vernon, 74 percent of students meet state standards. At Garvey, it's 77 percent. Garvey's scores have stagnated, the reason it dropped from level 2 to 3 — which is a cause for concern not closure.
Moreover, students and teachers gave significantly higher marks to Garvey than to Mount Vernon in a survey of school culture. In the University of Chicago research-backed survey of key indicators of school success, Garvey outpaced Mount Vernon in every area, earning a "strong" rating, for example, for ambitious instruction and school safety to Mount Vernon's "weak" ratings.
Our tour guide, parent Christa Thomas is deeply invested in her school's success and knows almost everyone there. She teaches an after-school dance class at Mount Vernon, where she says the culture is much rougher. A strong rivalry between the schools and gang issues are also a great concern.
She refuses to send her children there and is fighting to save her school.
"They're taking kids from a calm, family environment and putting them in a stressed one," she said. "This is not a wasteland."

2005 Toyota Tundra Vibration
i have a 2005 double cab 4.7 2x2 i have been getting a vibration for some time now it was slight at first now it is very notisable at hiway speed when you move the shifter to n it will go away so it seems to be in the drive line new brakes and rotors new michelin tires could it be a u-joint or a carrier bearing has anyone had this problem
nojar Posts: 6I also have an 05 Tundra DC 4x4 that has had a vibration since it was new. It kind of resinates in and out and now that it has gotten worse it can be heard and also felt in the gas pedal. Kind of feels like going in and out over rumble strips. It is worse when I go down hill. I've been doing some research on this and if I find anything I will post it. Please do the same.
Take care. -
nojar Posts: 6No, haven't figured it out yet. Taking it to a new dealer to have them check it out. The previous dealer said they could not feel or hear it. It is getting worse. If your problem started after you installed new tires, it could be the way they were balanced. I ran in to this problem a few years ago on my Tacoma. Went though numerous wheels and tires because of a bad vibration that could be felt in the steering wheel. Here is a good article to read about Toyota tire balancing. http://www.gadgetonline.com/Vibration.htm I eneded up buying my own balancer and adapter plates. Best investment I ever made.
phillipgo Posts: 2I had a 2003 tundra, and now a 2005 Tundra and they both have a shimmy at cruising speed. I would have thought after 2 years they would have figured it out.
On the 2003, I put on new tires, new pads, rotors, and had it aligned. Didn't make a bit of difference. It had only 30,000 on it. The 05, I'll just live with.
Bummer for such a nice vechile. -

Take a look at this link I posted earlier. http://www.gadgetonline.com/Vibration.htm I had the same problem with two previous Toyotas until I found out it was improper balancing. Adapter plates that center the wheels with the lugs not the hubs need to be used or you will never get a good balance. I tried different wheels and different tires and was at my wits end until I did a little research. Once I got a proper balance, my truck was as smooth as silk. -
nojar Posts: 6So did changing the middle u joint (which I believe is a cv joint right?) cure your problem. My dealer said my problem was in the front diff and after a full rebuild, it still has the same problem. How did you know it was bad? Mine seems ok. Doesn't seem to have alot of play. I appreciate the help.

bwackerlin Wrote:Question 1: Does Beckett have any evidence that this card exists? 2001 Fleer Tradition "Stitches in Time" Willie Mays Autograph #4 The price guide checklists it and has a high BV of $150.00 for it. Yet I have collected this set and have spoken with many knowledgeable collectors of this set and no one has ever seen this card in autographed form. An unautographed version had surfaced, but not out of a pack (Fleer bankruptcy release). I would like to know how Beckett can catalogue and value this card, as it doesn't exist to my knowledge and isn't traded (i.e. no market information for valuation). Question 2: The serial number quantities produced of 2007 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Autos is dead wrong in Beckett's checklist on many of the parallels for many different players. I have two Mark Grace cards that can be shown to contradict what Beckett publishes as the print runs. I understand you get this information directly from the manufacturers upon product release, and there may have been changes to the product by the manufacturer that make their provided checklist incorrect. Is there any way we as collectors can submit corrected information and photo evidence to Beckett to update the listings?
To No. 2, they can always submit corrections. Images are important to include.
I am sending you his e-mail address via a PM. >>
