Metalforming companies expect a continued decline in business conditions in the next three months, according to the November 2011 Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) Business Conditions Report. Only 11% of participants in the November report expect economic activity to improve in the next three months (down from 20% in the October report), 61% expect activity will remain unchanged (56% in the October report), and 28% expect activity will decline (24% in the October report). Only 21% of metalforming companies expect an increase in incoming orders in the next three months (26% in the October report), 49% expect no change (45% in the October report), and 30% expect a decrease (29% in the October report). 27% of participants report that average daily shipping levels are above levels of three months ago (38% in the October report), 47% report shipping levels are the same as three months ago (44% in the October report), and 26% report a decrease in shipping levels (18% in the October report). Metalforming companies with a portion of their workforce on short time or layoff jumped to 17% in November, from 8% in October. In November 2010, companies reported 15% of their workforce on short time or layoff. "PMA members are signaling caution regarding the general economy, most likely because it continues to be impacted by political dysfunction with the deficit committee deadlocked and apparently ready to allow action on the U.S. deficit to be a 2012 campaign issue, rather than addressing it in a timely manner," said William E. Gaskin, PMA president. "However, year-to-date, the typical PMA member reports 12% growth in shipments for the first 9 months compared to 2010 and most expect similar growth in 2012. Housing starts have been at an annual rate of more than 600,000 units for four of the past five months, manufacturing output grew by 0.5% in October and inventories remain lean. PMA's November Business Conditions report indicated that while expectations for current shipping levels softened somewhat, expectations are still more positive than they were in November 2010."

Nov 13, 2012 3:29 PM by The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi says she'll announce Wednesday whether she'll continue in her current position or step down after her party failed to gain the 25 seats it needed to win the House majority.
When a few undecided races are called, Democrats will gain less than half of that number. But Pelosi, who raised millions of dollars to put Democrats back in power, has refused to say whether she'll relinquish or keep her leadership post, serve out the two-year term to which she was just elected, or retire.
She spoke while introducing some of the newly elected House Democrats at a news conference on Capitol Hill, where Congress was reconvening for a lame duck session.

Yesterday, on "All My Children," Reese and Bianca got married, creating a milestone in matrimony. The first lesbian wedding on daytime TV was a real Kleenex-fest! With enough tears of joy to float everyone's boat, the whole affair was a beautiful spectacle and a timely push for equal rights, in light of the struggle to stop Prop 8. But dang girls, you just got hitched — we could have used some more hot action to go with those warm fuzzies! And the same sex lovin' is headed from daytime to primetime — supposedly Eva Longoria and Teri Hatcher are slated to suck face on this season of "Desperate Housewives." It's hard to imagine that this peck on "L.A. Law" caused such a scandal back in 1991! I've put a thermometer in my mouth with more passion. Anyway, all these awesome story lines combined are a clear sign that the times, well they are a changin'. So now that we're feeling the love, here are our favorite scenes of lesbian lovin' on TV… Keep reading »

NEW MOON REMINDER… Sunday, APRIL 3, Aries, 9:32 am EST (10:32 am, EDST = Eastern Daylight Savings Time), is the New Moon Power Day in April! This month offers us an ESPECIALLY powerful New Moon because the New Moon in ARIES is the most potent Moon of the year for making wishes involving new beginnings! If you have a copy of the book, New Moon Astrology, be sure to consult page 13 for more information.
Don't miss this opportunity to use timing to make wishes for experiences you'd like to have. Mercury is retrograde, so take your time in compiling your wish list and check out how you 'feel' about the wish before deciding whether or not to keep it on the paper. Because this New Moon is in the sign of Aries, it's a powerful time for wishes involving courage, starting new enterprises, and making a new beginning in any area that is important to you: a relationship, a business, a job, a new behavior. Things you may have wanted to happen in your life for a long time can begin easily manifesting through using the boost of this powerful New Moon.
For success, your wishes must be handwritten on paper and ten wishes maximum are allowed on each power day. The most potent time is the first 8 hours AFTER the exact time of the New Moon; within the first 48 hours will still work. The potency continues to exist for another twelve hours, but is weaker.
For clear success, it's best to avoid wishing during those hours when the Moon is Void of Course. Therefore in April, your most potent times for wishing are:
Sunday, April 3: 10:32 am – midnight
Monday, April 4: 12:01 am – 6:03 am, 7:47 pm – midnight
Tuesday, April 5: 12:01 am – 7:01 pm.
These times are in Eastern Daylight Savings Time and need to be converted to your local time zone. Keep in mind that if you are not observing Daylight Savings Time, subtract one hour, and then convert to your time zone. The Moon Box on the Homepage of this site will tell you how many hours difference your location is from the Eastern Time Zone in the US.
Among other things, this New Moon stimulates the ability to more successfully navigate your life by boosting your energy and boldness. It empowers you to become more aware of yourself and those things that truly are in alignment with your own identity. It stimulates in you the boldness to follow your impulses and discover yourself.
The energy of ARIES also creates an opening for demonstrating your independence and thereby increasing your vitality. This New Moon offers us the support to become more honest and authentic in our dealings with others. It gives us the confidence to begin a desired new pathway of self-expression that before we may have lacked the courage to initiate.
Your wishes can be about anything that is important to you to bring into your life. The New Moon in Aries is the most powerful New Moon of the year for making new beginnings in your life. Be sure to use this opportunity to your advantage.

The controversy started when head football coach, Terry Bowden, resigned midseason in 1998, according to David Laband, former chair of the economics department and current head of Ph.D program at Georgia Tech University.
Laband said Bowden argued that Bobby Lowder, a member of the Board of Trustees at the time, forced him out of his position.
When word of the cause of Bowden's resignation hit the press, John Denson, former member of the Board of Trustees and present attorney in Auburn, told the press he had no knowledge of the action taken by Lowder against Bowden.
"The fact that this was questioned by Denson enraged Lowder," Laband said.
Denson's ignorance of the issue showed that Lowder was keeping things from other members of the board, who might not have supported his decisions.
In retaliation to Denson's comment about Bowden, Lowder made sure to take away anything to do with Denson at Auburn, including eliminating the economics Ph.D program that he was involved with at the time, Laband said.
Laband said students currently in the economics Ph.D program were allowed to finish the program, but ultimately the program was eliminated by voting of the Board of Trustees.
"At that time we had demonstrated something like the fourth or fifth most productive P.hD programs at Auburn University in terms of number of students graduating," Laband said. "This was a very, very shocking event to the University."
Denson was the head of the economics program at the time. He also helped connect Auburn University with the Ludwig von Mises Institute, a center to teach students Austrian economics.
Against the Auburn faculty's wishes, Lowder ensured the economics Ph.D program would not be allowed to accept any more students to the program.
"All but three of the Board of Trustees members voted to eliminate the economics Ph.D program," Denson said. "All but the objection of the president of the University, the provost and the faculty committee that were in charge of the program."
The Mises Institute left Auburn's campus shortly after.
Auburn's students lost scholarship opportunities once the Mises Institute left campus.
"When the program was eliminated, Mises Institute had to change its focus on just bringing students to take courses at the institute itself," Denson said.
With a changing of members of the Board of Trustees, discussion between President Gogue and Michael Stern, head of the economics department, allowed the economics Ph.D program to accept students once again starting June 2012.
The economics program now has changed with the times, Stern said.
"It is still an applied program," Stern said. "We will just be using a lot more statistical and mathematics techniques."
The economics program lost a lot of economics history professors when the program was frozen in 1999.
"Now we have professors that will teach macroeconomics and international economics, which we've never had in the past," Stern said. "We also have a health economist now, so health economics is really exploded within the discipline as a whole because the health care and aging of society is now 1/7 of the whole economy. Environmental economics has become more important as well."
Although working with the Auburn's economics program was beneficial, leaving Auburn's campus and moving off of West Magnolia allowed the Mises Institute to change for the better.
"We were growing very fast, and we were outgrowing the room that the University had given us in the College of Business," said Mark Thornton, senior fellow at the Mises Institute. "It sort of made sense that we realized we were outgrowing our facilities on campus at a time when the other branches of the College of Business were expanding, so it just made sense for us to move across the street."
Now that the economics Ph.D program is back, the Mises Institute helps Auburn as much as possible, Thorton said.
"When they need somebody to teach courses in the economics department, I'd been more than happy to do so," Thornton said. "There are certain courses that I know how to teach that they don't have any specialists for. I've also helped them by teaching some principle classes."
Denson said he is happy that the economics Ph.D program is back at Auburn.
"Bringing the Ph.D program back shows that the administration has control of the University again," Denson said. "I think it's a great thing for Dr. Gogue to bring it back. They're in the process of hiring new professors and getting the program going again."

Taraji P. Henson's slightly bodified bob looks sleek and chic thanks to super straight strands and side-swept bangs.
Styling Tip
Mix a nickel-size amount each of leave-in conditioner and straightening cream and apply onto damp hair. Add a dollop of mousse at the roots. Blow dry two-inch sections at a time with a large round brush. Lift slightly at the root for volume and then roll the ends under. Create a side part and move your bangs to one side. Finish with a light mist of hairspray for all-day hold.

KTTV reports authorities are searching for a mother and daughter. Four other members of their family managed to escape the flames.
Diaz says a firefighter was hospitalized with minor injuries.
The cause of the fire on East Compton Boulevard is under investigation.

I'm home with my 2 kids. We have fun playing and cooking. I like to include them in cooking whenever I can. My favorite cookbook, at the moment, is a Cooking Light Best of 10 Years cookbook. I'm trying to eat more healthy for the new year. I sell toys so they, along with my kids are my passion. My pet peeves are people who don't know how to have fun, merging on the road with someone who doesn't know how and people who have no clutter (or maybe I'm just jealous). I'd read, read, read if I had a month off.
My favorite dishes to cook are anything chocolate - I also like to eat them. I like to cook a variety of foods. I'm usually the person who makes the new dish or salad at the potluck. As for my favortie restaurant, I love Big Bowl.

This is about all I could find about this brom. The closest similarity (to me) is a variety of Aechmea chantinii. In the meantime, until someone can tell me otherwise, I am going to care for it as an Aechmea. I've added the link to the pic I found online which led to my conclusion. I must say that "she" is doing well (she presented me with a pup this morning which was not there yesterday). Seems to like the filtered light on my patio. The photo is the leaves. Those spines on the leaf edges sure hurt when you brush up against them!! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Aechmea chantinii

Here is great source for looking for ID's and other information. I do beleive your plant is Aechmea chantinii http://fcbs.org/pictures.htm |
- Posted by splinter1804 10 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 9, 12 at 22:28
Hi everyone, Sherry - I have to agree with HDD, your plant certainly looks like an Aechmea chantinii or even one of the many chantinii hybrids. The only other comment I'd like to make is that they can be a bit "cold sensitive", so when the weather's chilly, move it to a warmer area. All the best, nev. |
- Posted by Sherry1976 9 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 9, 12 at 22:54
Thanks everyone. Can you believe that when I held the pot over my head today the labeling read Bromiliad Guzmania? I'll look up the temps for my Aechmea. It really doesn't get cold in Houston until January, but I'll keep a watch and bring my brom in when I bring in my Dieffenbachias and Scheffleras for the "winter". |

AWESOME!! I just got my Hummingbird yesterday!! I didn't know they came this early up here!! He flew up to me yesterday about a foot away from me looked at me for a few seconds and flew away! It was weird, I know this sounds really stupid but it was like he was showing me he was here so I would put out the feeder. So I did. I thought it weird because I have a very small backyard like 15' x 20' with a 6' fence on one side and our 2 story house on the other. It's not like I walked in HIS path. My mom was thinking he probably thought I was a giant flower because I had a red shirt on :). This morning while I was out looking in my garden he came to the feeder, but because I was there left he came back and left 5 times. When I left he came back and ate!! I am so excited, I don't know if there is a big population of hummers up here because I only saw the one last year but I sure am happy I got the one back!
doing the happy dance yay!! |

I have two males fighting over the feeder so I put another one out. It's so cool everytime I go in my garden I see hummingbirds. I hope this becomes a regular thing. |

If you change the sugar water every three or four days he or she is likely to return. Where there is one hummingbird there are more. Do you also have flowers to attract them? Some salvias in bloom would make your yard more attractive. Very happy for you. It's a joy to see them. |

If you will hang that red shirt on the fence , you will have more birds. I'm just as excited about my hummers as you and I have been feeding them for well over 20 years. You need red in the yard to attract the birds and you need more feeders (no red dye)to keep them, and for them to come back every year. My wife has been planting flowers at my current residence of about 3 years, but my previous 2 places had no flowers and I had tons of birds. |

Sometimes I think I talk about it too much, monopolize conversation, work it into every situation, twist perspectives, think about it too much, bring it up uneccesarily, make it too known, am too righteous and defensive.
My friends, my mom, my word documents, my mind are all exhausted.
I need gay friends.
I recently made a livejournal entry regarding this very same issue, needing more lesbian friends...
Sometimes it's hard for anyone to relate to you, and it'd be nice to have that a little more, right?
I'm not sure if it's needing someone to relate to or just a general tiredness of the majority population...
aaww! i guess we all are in the same boat! i would love to have a gang of gay friends...i know a few...around 6-7 of em...of which,3 are my really close friends. but im greedy for more :]
and you think about stuff a bit too much? welcome to my world =P

What to do with a chicken tender?
Chicken Tender Tacos
Locally-raised, Kadejan chicken tenders are on sale through Nov. 18 for only $5.99/lb. But what are they and what can you do with them?
Knowing their identity, chickenwise, makes the difference between something succulent and something with the texture of sawdust. That's because this cut is white, fatless meat from the underedge of chicken breasts. It's thin, and if you don't protect it during cooking, it will not tempt your appetite. If you enjoy furtive stops for fast food, you are certainly familiar with so-called chicken tenders: they're those deep-fried, crusty little chicken nuggets or fingers that so many people fuel their gridiron football season with.
To get the most out of chicken tenders, protect their fatless selves by either breading and frying them or poaching them delicately. Here's how, followed by a tasty taco to make with the meat.
Breaded and fried tenders
½ pound chicken tenders
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup flour
¼ cup dry bread crumbs
coconut or refined peanut oil
large paper bag
1. Cut the tenders into whatever size you want, but no smaller than 1 inch square. Dredge the nuggets/pieces in beaten egg, then in flour and bread crumbs. Set aside to semi-dry for about 15 minutes.
2. Pour about ½ inch of high-smoke-point oil into a heavy (preferably cast-iron) skillet or Dutch oven. When the top starts to look iridescent or the temperature reaches 360°F. on an immersible thermometer, lower a small handful of coated tenders into the oil. (A Chinese spider works perfectly for this; if you don't have one, use a large, perforated spoon.) When the tenders have turned a lovely golden brown, lift them out with the spider or spoon, and place them on the paper bag to drain.
Poached Tenders
small piece of fresh ginger
1 scallion, cut into three pieces
2 cups of cold water
½ pound chicken tenders
1. Cut a 2-inch piece of ginger from the main stem; you needn't peel it. Slice it crosswise into several thinner coins. Add this to a large, heavy pot (cast iron, cast aluminum, enameled iron), along with the scallion and 2 cups of water, cover, and bring the water t a boil. Boil for 5 minutes.
2. Add the chicken tenders to the water, turn off the heat, re-cover the pot, and allow it to sit for 45 minutes. When you uncover the pot, the meat will be cooked through, very delicate in texture and flavor, and not the least big dried out.
Terrific Tacos
Makes 4 well-stuffed tacos
olive oil
8 corn tortillas
½ pound breaded/fried or poached chicken tenders
1 lime, halved
¼ cup very finely sliced red or white onion or scallions, white and green parts, cut crosswise
1 ripe avocado, smashed, then salted
some salty feta or queso añejo
salsa or sriracha sauce
fresh cilantro leaves
1. Heat a cast-iron griddle or skillet on MEDIUM, then add about 1 teaspoon of oil, and spread it across the surface. Lay two tortillas, one atop the other, in the pan, and heat until they start to bubble and heave. Turn them over, adding a bit of oil if the pan becomes dry.
2. Tuck ¼ of the meat, squeeze of fresh lime juice, onion or scallion, spoonful of avocado, cheese, squirt of sriracha, and cilantro leaves to each doubled tortilla, and serve immediately.

We ordered engineered hardwood in oak with a stained finish. The installer installed about 100 sq feet and called me to look at it. You can see blonde parts of the wood on the beveled edge - but not consistent in all the planks and not even consistent along the same plank. It looks splotchy to me. I will let you know what the company is saying later. Just want to know how your beveled edge looks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Did the sample have the same thing going on? (I doubt it, unless the product is supposed to have a "rustic" appearance.) That is a defective or low quality product. Engineered flooring has a factory finish that you can't touch-up. The original finish has to be perfect. Any chance you are getting product from a box store? They routinely sell the items that have slight manufacturing defects.The way you describe it, sounds like par for course. If the seller is reputable, make them exchange it. Or return it for a refund. In the future, all flooring needs to be carefully inspected before ANY is installed. Sometimes the color batches do not match even on high quality product. The installer should have done this and noticed the defects before he started. He'll probably agree to take up the defective product and lay new for no additional charge. His labor was his mistake. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Pepsi!
Facts about Pepsi
- Breed: Husky/Akita Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Pepsi's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
http://www.valleydogs.org/pepsi.html -- Pepsi was abandoned at a boarding facility by her owner. Hard to believe as beautiful as she is.
Pepsi is desperate to find a new home as she has been in a kennel for 90 days. She is showing signs of kennel stress and urgently needs out.
She walks VERY well on a leash and knows basic commands. She is very treat driven and easily trained.
She is an Alpha and has many traits of a husky. So, a strong human leader is required to ensure she understands her place in the pack.
Pepsi may be ok with submissive larger dogs but is very selective.
If you would like to meet Pepsi please contact us to arrange a meeting.
For more information or to meet me, please complete an Adoption Interest form and please email email@example.com

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pepsi, a Gilbert Husky/Akita dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Husky/Akita for sale in Gilbert, or seeking a Husky/Akita dog from a breeder in Gilbert.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gilbert already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gilbert breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Husky/Akita breeders who help with Husky/Akita rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gilbert paves the way for another one to be saved.

In this lesson, students will explore Othello's transformation from a confident, successful general to a jealous, murdering husband as a result of Iago's deception.
Students will examine this transformation as it is reflected in the form and style of Othello's language use at key points in the play.
As a result, students will deepen their understanding of the way that a character's emotions, psychological state, and understanding of the world is captured in the form and content of what he or she says.
This lesson can be used as a summary exercise to draw conclusions about Othello's transformation.
This lesson should take two to three fifty-minute periods.
Folger edition of Othello Available in Folger print edition and Folger Digital Texts
Folger's YouTube Video, "Deception in Othello"
Chart Paper
An open space
Screen the Folger YouTube video, "Deception in Othello,"and lead a discussion of key ideas raised by the Folger Theatre team. What are the students' thoughts about deception in the play? Are they convinced that a person could be so wholly deceived in the way that Othello is? And Roderigo, Desdemona, and Emilia for that matter?
Review the section from 2:45-4:10 when the discussion turns to the deception of Othello. Solicit responses from students about Othello's jealousy and how he is totally "driven by deceit," and that Othello is "insecure" because marriage and jealousy are new to him. Finally, lead a discussion about Owiso Odera's claim that Othello "believes the best in people." Is this true?
Take note of where and with what students agree and disagree. Offer the idea that many of Shakespeare's plays are about people who think the world works according to a fixed set of rules only to find out that this is not the case. The drama that ensues is this very recognition by the main character(s) of the play. (A strong example is Brutus in Julius Caesar whose idealism allows him to think of Caesar's assassination as a symbolic cleansing of tyranny. When Mark Antony spins it, however, Brutus looks little better than a murderer. Brutus is dead by the end of the play.)
Divide students into groups of four (you may need to adjust based on your class size) and assign each group a scene to work on. The scenes for this lesson include: 1.2, 1.3, 2.3, 3.3, 3.4, 4.1, 4.2, 5.2
Once groups are assigned, have them read through the scene together (for some groups, this may take a chunk of class time and may need to continue to Day 2). They may read the scene part to part around a circle or they may cast parts -- they can work this out.
After a first read around, students should write on a piece of chart paper Othello's words and phrases that stuck out to them. Did any words recur? Does he have a particular phrase he likes? Does he ask more questions than he makes statements, or is it vice-versa?
What adjectives do students come up with to characterize Othello's lines? Do his words flow? Are his sentences choppy? Does he seem relaxed, anxious, defensive? Have them free-associate while focused on Othello's language.
Once this is done, students should brainstorm a "headline" about Othello's language -- a single sentence or bullet point that captures the essence of Othello's words. If students struggle with this, that's okay -- there is no right way to create this headline. The very conversation about it is a valuable exercise in close reading for the form and content of Othello's speech. If students feel strongly that one headline won't work, two may be admitted (3.3, for instance, represents lots of different emotions in Othello, so this might require different headlines).
Once the headline(s) is/are done, have each student then search out a line or two each from their scene that illustrates and supports the headline.
When they each have a short piece of text, then each person in the group should come together and stage the line by making a short scene or tableaux that they will share with the class. Each member of the group should be involved in each person's line as an actor or tableaux participant. As a group, they will stage as many scenes as they have participants. For background on how to create tableaux, please refer to the following video prepared for Shakespeare in American Life.
Once everyone is prepared, have them present their tableaux and/or scenes to the class.
At the conclusion of the presentations, facilitate a conversation about what students discovered in their reading, preparing, and performing of the text. Is Othello's journey registered in his language? What did students discover about the words he uses? What do they reveal about him?
This lesson will work with a number of other characters whose worlds are turned upside down and where we can see their disillusion reflected in the style and form of their language:

Wow , & I was thinking of hosting a school-wide LoL Tournament for Senior Project. Thank ! I'll ask for more info C:
Senior Member
Dang, I hope my college is doing this, I gotta check it out with them!
Please create a club for Napa High School!
@RiotJaws I was wondering how long would it be after an application was submitted will we see the organization show up. Also, What about displaying information about the colleges that have been issued a challenge so that we can help with that challenge?
This sounds like it would be great! I already know some ten people from my school that play League, so I'm curious how many more play it. This is an excellent step towards community gaming!
GG PwnZwn
This is amazing i am very excited to see this i attend the College of Sequoias Visalia California.
Got Jinxed
I tired to start a ranked team in my school, even asked in the office if I could start a club but even with the large number of students that play we got no traction. This should have come out Season 2 and it is to little too late.
A Man of Justice
"nab some kick-ass swag" I'm done, goodbye league.
Cool idea. My one question here: How do we go about gathering people who would like to be in a League club? Just start with the few who we know play LoL? I need to know where to start because I am excited about this opportunity and I know that many people play League on campus. I just need to find a way to get their attention.
Hi I'm ectoBiologist and I live in Australia therefore I miss out on all the awesome stuff like this. ._.

Dr. Nikita Levy (Baltimore Sun / February 25, 2010) |
One law firm has rented out a conference room in the downtown Hilton and invited patients of a Johns Hopkins gynecologist to discuss their legal options. Other firms are taking out newspaper ads, urging his patients to contact them. Others are asking clients to spread the word to other potential victims.
Baltimore lawyers have begun jockeying for a role in finding out what happened in the offices of Dr. Nikita A. Levy, who is accused of secretly photographing and videotaping patients.
All of this is happening even before all of the facts of the case are known to police, who are conducting a criminal investigation. As attorneys contemplate civil action, officers are continuing to comb through multiple computer hard drives and servers seized from Levy's Towson home.
Levy was found dead in an apparent suicide Monday, but police have revealed few details about the case because they have not ruled out that others were involved in the capturing or viewing of the images. Hopkins officials revealed the allegations against Levy after his body was found — two weeks after they learned of the doctor's alleged activities.
Hopkins spokeswoman Kim Hoppe declined to comment on any possible legal action.
Attorneys say they plan to sue as soon as possible so that they, too, can begin investigating a case that remains shrouded with questions.
Lawyers said swift civil action also could help provide answers to the hundreds of women who have contacted police, wondering whether they might have been taped or photographed. Police said Levy made at least some of the recordings with a camera hidden in the top of a pen.
"We need to wait for the smoke to clear sometime next week to see how many [clients] we have," said Baltimore attorney A. Dwight Pettit, who said he had about 25 clients as of Thursday morning. "Then we're going to move into court as quickly as possible to give us the opportunity for a more intense investigation."
Levy had practiced gynecology and obstetrics at Hopkins since 1988, the year he received his license to practice medicine in Maryland. Many patients have said they had not noticed any inappropriate behavior.
A colleague of Levy's on Feb. 4 reported the allegations of secret surveillance to Hopkins officials, who notified police. Within days, police searched his house and seized the computer equipment. Hopkins officials let Levy go Feb. 8.
He was found dead Monday, having placed a plastic bag over his head and filled it with helium, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation. Later that day, Hopkins officials revealed the investigation in a statement in which they apologized to Levy's patients and called any invasion of privacy "intolerable." Hopkins trustees also launched an internal investigation.
Levy's family has not spoken publicly since his death. A man who answered the door at Levy's home Thursday and identified himself as a relative said, "It's a very difficult time right now," adding that the family is planning to issue a statement in the next few days.
Lawyers, meanwhile, have acted quickly to connect with patients just hearing about the accusations, placing advertisements on websites and in newspapers, including The Baltimore Sun.
Medical malpractice law firm Schochor, Federico and Staton PA has gathered more than 70 clients, said attorney Jonathan Schochor.
"The sooner we begin the process, the better for everyone concerned," Schochor said. "We need to be able to more definitively define exactly what occurred here."
The Cochran Firm has rented out a conference room for Saturday afternoon in the Baltimore Hilton, where a representative said lawyers will try to inform potential victims about their rights. Scott Lucas, an attorney with the national firm, acknowledged that there's a scramble among lawyers to find potential victims.
The firm planned to line up experts on "privacy, patient advocacy, maybe an OB/GYN" and have reached out to the Police Department to see if a representative will attend. "Of course, we will have attorneys there as well," he said. He said patients have been left in the dark by Hopkins, and several have reached out to the firm trying to get answers.
"What we're trying to do is not be among the jockeying, and look at this as an opportunity to be a service to the community," he said. "We're trial attorneys, and if it leads to more, it leads to more."
Some lawyers said a class action suit could be an option, given the large number of women who police say may have been affected. Pettit said he has heard from several other firms interested in the possibility, though he hasn't determined whether he thinks a class action would be appropriate.
In class action lawsuits, people can sue as representatives for a larger number of plaintiffs who share common legal issues and facts. Such cases can be filed in either state or federal court.

One of the things I love most about my job is getting to talk to people, especially those people that have a passion for what they do.
I talked to many passionate individuals this holiday season.
I believe Christmas couldn't have come at a better time for all of us this year. With the economy at record bottom and so many families struggling to make ends meet, it was such a breath of fresh air to welcome the hope of Christmas into the community.
And that's where the passionate individuals enter.
Editor's note: The identity of the subject has not been revealed in order to protect the privacy of the individuals mentioned in the story.
For many families in Harrison County, Christmas wasn't quite the same as in years past.
"Christmas is kind of skimpy this year," said Jane Doe, in her living room one Monday morning. "This year I just wanted to give the kids a good Christmas since their dad was gone."
John Doe is currently serving in Afghanistan. He has been gone a year and won't return home until March.
Many of our tropical houseplants aren't so happy indoors during the winter.
Low light levels and low humidity are contrary to their tropical nature. There are some plants in the house, however, that don't seem to be phased by indoor winter conditions.
If you have moderate light you can maintain a nearly non-stop bloom cycle with African violets. Their fleshy, fuzzy leaves are their defense against lack of humidity; and with adequate sunlight, some fertilizer and well-drained soil you can keep them blooming all year round.
With apologies to Charles Dickens, it truly was the best of times and the worst of times.
I had just learned I was pregnant with our now- 25-year-old daughter. We had wanted another child, and the news was definitely in the best of times category. It remained best and blissful for about a month until the worst of times began.
I can still see my husband walking across the yard of our apartment complex toward our back gate. It was the middle of the morning as he handed me a check and said, "I lost my job — I got laid off."
Plant and seed catalogs will be jamming the mailbox any day now. I always feel like January ushers in a clean slate for the garden: optimism abounds among the fresh ideas and new goals; and promises never to repeat a crop busting mistake are sharp in my memory.
Sometimes the slate stays clean; sometimes it doesn't. Either way the next couple of months can be used to plan and prepare for the next growing season. Don't get over whelmed by (or over indulge in) all the catalogs until you actually decide on what you want to accomplish for the year.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Kate!
Facts about Kate
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Kate's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Kate is very sweet, playful and inquisitive. She is one of four kittens who had been abandoned in a box that was left in a parking lot. She is a beautiful little tortie girl who loves to play.
Other Pets at The Little Cats' Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kate, a Elfers Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Elfers, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Elfers.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Elfers already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Elfers breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Elfers paves the way for another one to be saved.

DescriptionsSangri or Prosopis cineraria is a small to medium size tree, found mainly in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan in India. Common names include: Ghaf (United Arab Emirates), khejri, jant/janti, sangri (Rajasthan), jand (Punjabi), kandi (Sind), Vanni (Tamil), sami, sumri (Gujarat). Its trade name is kandi. It grows in dry and arid regions of Arabia and in regions of India mainly Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Gujarat, Western Uttar Pradesh and drier parts of Deccan. Sangri is a small moderate sized evergreen thorny tree, with slender branches armed with conical thorns and with light bluish-green foliage. The leaflets are dark green with thin casting of light shade. Although they belong to the same family as beans and lentils, they are usually distinguished as a separate group because of the ways in which they are prepared. The different types of sangria are all spherical, a feature that also sets them apart from beans and lentils. Dried sangria are produced by harvesting the pods when they are fully mature and then drying them. Once they are dried and the skins removed, they may split naturally. Soaked sangri- Whole sangri needs to be soaked in cold water for at least eight hours before cooking, while broken sangri do not need this extra preparation.Parboiled sangri- Parboiling is a cooking technique in which soaked sangria beans are partially cooked in boiling water, but removed before it is cooked all the way through. Many recipes call for parboiled sangri as they longer to cook. Parboiling them in advances ensures that they get completely cooked in the final dish.How to selectDried sangria beans are generally available in prepackaged containers as well as bulk bins. They are available as whole beans or cracked or broken beans. Regardless of packaging, check the sangri as best as possible to ensure that they are not cracked and that they are free of debris.Culinary uses" Use sangri to make dhal, the classic Indian dish. " Ker Sangri is one of the most mouth-watering delicacies of Jaisalmer. Ker Sangri is a popular vegetarian dish of Jaisalmer. It is cooked on low heat. The ingredients that goes into this dish are desert beans and capers. This vegetarian delicacy can be best enjoyed with Bajara roti" The kandi or sagri pachadi is easy to prepare and makes for a tasty chutney recipe also.

Back in 1997, Los Angeles starting giving its restaurants report cards based on a points system. Instead of sending it to the owner's parents, the restaurant has to post the grades on their front window. Fast forward to 2010, New York is going to adopt the same plan. Starting in July, New York City restaurants will bare their souls in the form of grades A, B, C, or F.
A- The letter A means you scored 90-100 points on your inspection and can expect to see The Kitty Bradshaw as a customer. It also means that in the event that there are no available seating, customers can eat of off your floor because you are that clean.
B- You have scored 80-90 points. This means you have storage issues, and previously served food is being re-served to new customers. Ummm, yea so The Kitty Bradshaw will not be dipping back to your spot unless I can watch my food be made.
C- So that means you scored 70-79 points. This means you have a roach problem, employees don't wash their hands, and the bugs sometimes assist the chef in the kitchen with chopping and grading.
F- Congratulations… you have scored 0-69 points and your business is now shut down. Do not pass go, go straight to the unemployment line!
I think this is a great system. The grading system makes me feel that much more secure knowing that the restaurants that I patronize and abiding to health department standards. If a restaurant scores low, they lose business. If a restaurant scores high, they gain business. It's as simple as that. It's now time for restaurants to put on their game face.

(at least for me) on another web site. Kraft is having a special promotion where you can get a box of Kraft products ($30 value) if you pay $4.99 for shipping. You must order by credit card.
http://www.shopkraftfoods.com/ The site shows which products are supposed to be in the box. Some of this stuff is junk food and there are things that I don't usually buy, but it looks like a good way for me to try some different foods for my kids without a big investment. I know this doesn't fit into the money saving plans for some of you, but it may be worth a shot for others. Also, I think it's only good in the US. |

Shoot! I just checked, and it looks like they've suspended the offer-- |
Looked at that offer and they only had things we don't eat. If you checked out www.spoofee.com, you will find the bargains daily, including the freebie ones. Still laugh at the expression of the post office clerk when I picked up my "free" roll of paper towels. Now wouldn't you think the company could have just sent a coupon . |
Hi BetsieLT, Golly - you're from a long way away - if you live in Lithuania. Thanks for your Spoofee address - I think that I just signed up for a year free of Kiplinger Magazine. Which I first read and found interesting at Mother-in-law's place [40 years ago]. For a good deal in the humour category - visit www.adbusters.com (or maybe ending in .ca). They were the ones that put out the picture that looked a lot like the Marlboro man, with the big cowboy hat. And a cigarette that drooped. Cutline, "Smoking can cause impotence".

I bought an old 1905 house that I'm fixing up. We had plumbing issues that are fixed but while cutting a hole in the livingroom ceiling I found that the ceiling had been dropped about 12 inches in the 70s (70s newspapers were in ceiling). Anyways since other drywall work was being done throughout the house I decided to demo the ceiling.
We tore out the drywall and now we are taking out the framing that held the dropped ceiling. Only about 1/2 of the plaster lathe is still in the ceiling so I told the guy helping me to demo that as well up to the studs or whatever you call the boards so that new drywall can be installed for the ceiling. I'm happy with my idea still despite the mess and extra time. But what are we going to do with the 12" or so from the drywall over plaster on the walls to the new drywall that will be installed on the ceiling? Obviously there's going to be a difference in size in drywall fo the 12" from the drywall over plaster on the walls. We of course didn't open up walls to demo the ceiling. Also my friend said to try to blow in insulation into the walls from the top holes once we demo the plaster/lathe more on the ceiling and the upper part of the walls. Would that make sense? I had the idea of adding a few beams to make the livingroom more dramatic and I'm looking at books with ideas for trim and such. Is there such a thing as over 12" trim or layered trim for the walls to ceiling to cover the 12" gap? Or how about the idea of boards of some sort or beams and boards? Thanks in advance for any ideas. |

Just asking a question here, don't have any knowledge to impart. It seems to me, if those ceilings were high enough that they could be dropped a whole foot, they could also benefit from the installation at that height, going around the room, with a nice picture rail. If you do re-drywall that space all the way around the room, the picture rail/molding would be in keeping with the period of the house. Would that sound logical to you? |
Multiple layers of drywall and then possibly a skim coat to match the thickness of the plaster. If done carefully the patch will not show under a coat of paint. |
Assuming your total ceiling height is now going to be circa 10 feet, the norm would have been a picture rail placed a foot below the ceiling. But even with that, you would match the thickness of the wall, probably with a double layer of drywall. You can do beams, though they're not common with a picture rail - I started a thread on this some time back to help with a room I have with a picture rail. You can also just patch it up and make it smooth wall and finish it continuous with the rest of the wall. Also common was a wallpaper border at that height, with a different paper or paint on the ceiling. Blown-in insulation is used when you can't get into a wall cavity any other way. If you have the wall open, I'd use fiberglass batts or whatever sheet goods you prefer. If the wall is empty down below where you have it open, you can use blow-in to fill it up. KarinL |
Depending on the thickness you are talking about, you can either fir out the studs or use multiple layers of drywall. eg if the finished thickness needs to be 1 inch, you can use 1 layer of 3/8 and 1 layer of 5/8 and you get an inch. If it is much thicker than that, you would probably want to fir out with wood and then use 1 layer of drywall. You can cut wood to any width you want, so the options are endless. Either way, you will probably need to skim coat over the top to make it 100% smooth. Any hand made wall isn't going to be the exact same thickness at each point, but a decent drywall/plaster guy will be able to blend them to make them so that nobody will know the difference. Re Insulation - You may or may not be able to blow in insulation from the top. Before the invention of plywood sheathing, it was common to have diagonal bracing within the walls. To fill the wall cavity, you would likely have to drill additional holes to insulate below the cross bracing. |
