This paper will describe the challenges associated with newly formed enterprises, the viability of niche products being introduced into bigger markets and the impact that they entail, and also discuss the reasoning behind consumer's fascination with exclusivity. Six examples companies will be provided to explain how these factors worked into their success. Challenges of Business in Today's Economy
Identify at least three challenges when setting up a business. Explain why they are challenges. In today's credit crunch global economy many entrepreneurs are faced with the daunting tasks of not only finding the necessary resources to produce their products, but the funding and crucial business structure in order for their livelihood to stay profitable.
Funding and Lack There Of
Raising startup capital is an extremely huge task when attempting to set up your own business, especially in today's credit tight economy. Finding the source to secure the financing necessary to purchase even the basic necessities, such as equipment, acquisition of property, and the hiring of personnel, (Bradsheet) can be one of the most daunting tasks an entrepreneur can partake in. In most cases when starting a business there are two ways to procure the essential funding needed to make this happen; debt financing and equity financing.
Debt financing is the main source of startup capital for many new business ventures. Generally, entrepreneurs will attempt to take out small business loans through banks. This method is by far the most reliable way to secure a business' commerce. However they are several drawbacks and obstacles associated with this type of financing.
(Debit Financing) The banking industry has implemented many stipulations before they will even offer you a single dime. Many banks now require a solid income history based on previous tax returns, to prove whether or not in fact a person has the ability to pay the...

Peter O'Toole Passes Away At 81
By Malik Forté on December 15, 2013
Renowned actor Peter O'Toole died in London's Wellington Hospital yesterday, according to his agent. O'Toole, who was best known for his role as T.E. Lawrence in Lawrence Of Arabia, was 81 when he passed.
His acting career kicked off on stage in England as a teenager, before steadily expanding onto television and then film. He landed his first major role in Lawrence Of Arabia before moving on to star in other great films such as Becket, The Lion In Winter, and The Stunt Man. He was nominated for eight Academy Awards over the course of his 54-year career before going into retirement less than a year ago. He is survived by his two daughters Patricia and Kate, and his son Lorcan.
O'Toole was an extremely charismatic presence on screen and his performances always succeeded in gripping some area of my emotions. Hell, the movie Venus was a clear display of how natural O'Toole's acting abilities were, putting on stellar performances in the latter stages in his career. A legend in Ireland and the world, his contributions to film and theater will always be remembered and appreciated.
This makes me so sad. He was a truly great actor with amazing versatility. He could do an epic masterpiece like Lawrence of Arabia and comedies like How to Steal a Million (my favorite of his).
The Lion in Winter, hands down.
"I found out the way your mind works and the kind of man you are. I know your plans and expectations – you've burbled every bit of strategy you've got. I know exactly what you will do, and exactly what you won't, and I've told you exactly nothing. To these aged eyes, boy, that's what winning looks like! "
The Lion in Winter. This one will raise a little hell in heaven, or bring a little heaven to hell, and it makes me smile to think of it.
We also lost Joan Fontaine at 96 today. She starred in two Hitchcock films, Rebecca and Suspicion. There's not a whole lot left from classic Hollywood, which saddens me. Of the top of my head, there's still Mickey Rooney, Shirley Temple and amazingly Fontaines older sister Olivia DeHavilland. Good genes in that family
I quit working at shoprite to work online and with a little effort I easily bring in around $95 – $115 per/h. Without a doubt, this is the easiest and most financially rewarding job I've ever had. I actually started 6 months ago and this has totally changed my life. Here's what I do… Јobs95.Сom

"And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest…"
Now that grand, beautiful actor can finally join his pals Harris, Burton and Reed for another drink, swapping stories into eternity.
Some of my earliest memories are of his film performances. As his career was roughly coeval with my life, I feel gutted at his passing, despite having expected it for some time. Thank you, Peter, for sharing your gift with us.
I'm reminded of the story of T E Lawrence's widow, concerned about who would portray him in David Lean's upcoming film, waiting with the director to meet the young, unknown O'Toole; as he strode towards them from outside, head down in thought, she said it was as if her long-dead husband had come back to life–he even had Lawrence's odd, duck-footed stride down pat. Then, O'Toole raised his head and looked at her with those ethereal pale blue eyes, and she gasped in shock, saying, "It's him…where did you find this young man?" That was his debut in film.

The Walking Dead: Zombie-Mania Is Upon Us
March 15, 2013
What would you do if the world suddenly got overrun by thousands of hungry walking (and crawling and climbing) dead people? Would you run? Fight? Hide in a Costco warehouse where you'd have an awesome supply of food, batteries, restrooms, and a big heavy door to keep unwanted brain-eaters out? (Well, you can probably guess what my plan would be.) Luckily for us all, a zombie apocalypse isn't at our doorstep, and we don't have to make the difficult decisions that zombie apocalypse survivors would unequivocally have to make. Instead, we get to sit back and watch what other people would do on AMC's The Walking Dead.
Ah, yes. A show full of blood, guts, dismembered body parts, and a bunch of dead guys…I just can't get enough! And I'm not the only one — The Walking Dead is the most-watched drama series on basic cable for adults between the ages of 18 through 49. Just tune in and you'll see why — the show's dangerously addicting. Read on if you're a Walking Dead fan or if you're just really into the whole zombie-mania thing. I'd go out on a limb here and say they're even bigger than the Beatles…but then again, maybe not. (You get the idea.)
Here's a list of funny, scary, cute, and tasty (eyebrow raise) stuff inspired by none other than the undead to feed your insatiable zombie obsession:
Don't be left for dead — avoid getting caught fumbling with your keys when zombies are right behind you. Stick these Zombikeys key caps over your keys and always be reminded that organization can be a real life saver!
Mmm…brains!!! Now you can enjoy brains too with Fred & Friends' Brain Freeze ice tray. This tray is made of durable silicone and produces 4 ice cubes in the shape of a brain. To make your brainy ice cubes more believable, just add fruit or food coloring!
3) Undead Teds
Created by Phillip Blackman, Undead Teds are re-purposed plushy toys transformed into fluffy, bloody horrors to keep you awake at night. Is it just me or are they almost…cute?
Order a handmade plushy in the shape of a severed hand for some fun. It's a lot less murder-y/going-to-jail than a real severed hand — that's always a plus!
Here's a doorstop sure to grab people's attention. For those boring days at the office, give your coworkers a small scare when they pass by this creepy-looking crawler. At the very least, it's a conversation starter.
6) Walking Dead Survival Kit T-Shirt
Blood-stained graphics on a black cotton tee featuring the basic tools of surviving a zombie apocalypse. Baseball bat, katana, pistol, crossbow…looks about right.
7) Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Oh yeah. Take a classic beloved story of English literature and throw zombies into the mix? Genius. For those of you who passed on Jane Austen's book in high school, maybe it's time to reconsider with this delightful remake!
Forget those boring family stickers you see on everyone else's cars. Stand out and show your humorous side with these zombie stickers. Even the pets are undead!
9) Zombie Party Dessert Table Decorations
This Walking Dead zombie apocalypse inspired party printable decor set is sure to send your party guests running…for their lives! Add a viral outbreak, some flesh eating undead, maybe some sweets and what do you get? Fun times, that's what! Just order, print, and party!
10) Walking Dead Vinyl Figures
Zombies? Cute? Whaa? It's true…Check out your favorite characters from The Walking Dead as cute vinyl Pop! figures. Choose from Rick, Daryl, the Bicycle Girl, and the RV Walker, or collect them all!
What's sweeter than brains? Cookies! Duh! See if this zombie head jar will be scary enough to keep your kids out of the cookie stash. (We seriously doubt it!)
Celebrate being alive with some zombie cupcake toppers. They're a good reminder for us all to enjoy the sweet things in life…before it's too late! Dun dun dun.
13) Zombie Apron
One of the biggest things that sets us apart from zombies is that we're civilized and they're not. Whereas they like to splatter guts all over themselves, we like to keep things a bit cleaner. Do just that with a zombie apron. This one (vegetarian zombie) is absolutely adorable. I chuckled as soon as I saw it!
Decorate your cookies to look like Rick Grimes with these step-by-step instructions. They're so cute you almost don't want to eat them! But, of course, you do!
15) 5 Killer Beers for The Walking Dead (and Other Zombies)
Check out this fun read about the perfect beers to go with surviving a zombie apocalypse. After all, according to the author, you really can't call it "surviving" without tasty beer.
Well, I'm about zombied-out for the time being. Hope you all enjoyed these zombie-tastic items and relish in the thought that the vampire reign is over! Zombies for life!

Dancing cop lightens mood
Motorists stuck in traffic during the US Democratic Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina were treated to a bit of a show and dance... by a traffic cop. Whilst directing traffic down the busy intersection in Charlotte, the traffic officer pulled off some signature dance moves that included Michael Jackson's moonwalk and some of Elvis Presley's moves too, much to the delight of motorists and pedestrians. We wouldn't recommend that he quit his day job though

Armenian American literature constitutes a diverse body of literature that incorporates American writers of Armenian ancestry.
Encompassing a cross section of literary genres and forms, Armenian American writers often incorporate some common themes (i.e. the Armenian Genocide) while maintaining very personal literary styles.
The New York-based Ararat Quarterly, published since 1959, has been a major venue for Armenian American writing. Ararat is published in English by the AGBU and also includes works by Armenian writers around the world in translation.
First generation Armenian American writers include William Saroyan, Levon Surmelian, A. I. Bezzerides, Michael Arlen, Peter Sourian, David Kherdian, Marjorie Housepian Dobkin, Leon Serabian Herald, Emmanuel Varandyan, Arlene Voski Avakian, Jack Kevorkian, Nishan Parlakian, Leo Hamalian and others.[1]
Second generation Armenian American writers include Peter Balakian, Nancy Kricorian, Mark Arax, Aris Janjigian, George Stamboulian, Carol Edgarian, Michael J. Arlen, Arthur Nersesian, Micheline Aharonian Marcom, Dahlia Elsayed, Nancy Agabian, Hrag Vartanian, Christopher Atamian and others.[1]

THE BEATING WINGS OF A GAME BIRD — frightened in the forest — thrum with a weighted vibration that resonates in your heart. I was ducking through lodgepole pine saplings when I felt this, while hiking part of the Lolo Trail across the Bitterroot Range, the most arduous stretch of Lewis and Clark's 8,000-mile journey. The Bitterroots are often billed as the landscape least changed since the Corps of Discovery passed through 200 years ago, and to a degree this is true — just north of the Lolo Trail lies a vast and untouched wilderness on national forestland.
But my avian encounter is rarer than it should be. While much of the Lolo Trail itself runs through rugged terrain, a two-lane highway parallels portions of it, and even in the more remote areas, the historic footpath has been superseded by a U.S. Forest Service road called the Lolo Motorway. These days, most expeditions involve four-wheel-drive vehicles. And decades of commercial logging, including a recent binge on the Lolo Trail itself, have left so many clearcuts that one is almost never without a view of large-scale industrial forestry. It's not always easy, in other words, to see the past through the fog of the present.
Based on the little that was known about North American geography, and especially on what he dreamed would be true, President Thomas Jefferson had directed Lewis to explore the Missouri River's tributaries to their northwestern headwaters, link them to the headwaters of the Columbia River, and navigate the Columbia to the Pacific, in the interest of establishing "the most direct & practicable water communication across this continent."
On August 12, 1805, nearly a year out, the Corps of Discovery found the source of the Missouri on the Continental Divide. But when Lewis crossed what is now called Lemhi Pass, he looked down not at the plains of the Columbia but at "immence ranges of high mountains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered in snow." To wit: the Bitterroot Range. There was no all-water route across the continent, and the best path to the Columbia lay through country so rugged that no paved road crossed it until U.S. Highway 12 was built in 1961. The Bitterroots have indeed changed, but they offer a glimpse of a time gone by.
Arriving in the late spring, when even the motorway was impassable under heavy snow, I'd been poking around for several days, seeing those portions of the Lolo Trail accessible from Highway 12, which runs east-west between Idaho and Montana. I'd been reading the relevant sections of the journals of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and now I was walking up a mountainside and skirting a ridge, my clothes soaked by worsening rain. Grizzlies, wolves, Indians, a band of soldiers adrift in the biological majesty of the unspoiled North America-it's one of the great creation myths of our national identity, defining the American experience as a heroic adventure in a wild world. But what does it mean to go looking for it now?
HISTORICAL TOURISM is a peculiar business, traveling not just through the world as you see it, but as we collectively conjure it-a joint production of the physical landscape, your imagination, and whatever picture you assemble from all the conflicting versions of the past. Even something as simple as deciding what the "Lolo Trail" is, for example, can lead you down a road every bit as treacherous as the Bitterroots themselves.
Start with the fact that contemporary scholars think of the Lolo Trail as having been less a single trail than a whole web of roughly parallel paths through the same country. Then there's the little issue of the name: Nobody actually knows where "Lolo" comes from, and the best theory pins it on a rough transliteration of the name of a French trapper who used to live near Lolo Pass.
At Howard Creek, the first place you can easily walk one of those original footpaths, a Forest Service interpretive sign dispels the notion that Lewis and Clark were true pioneers by explaining that Nez Perce, Salish, and Shoshone Indians had been traveling this way for centuries. The sign also offers two additional names for the trail: "Q'u seyna Iss Kit" is apparently Nez Perce for "The Trail to the Buffalo Country," and "Nap-Ta-Nee-Sha" is Salish for "The Trail to the Nez Perce," which the Salish used when heading west to fish for salmon.
The same sign explains that "two historic land routes," the Nez Perce National Historic Trail and the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, now cohabit in the physical space of the Lolo Trail/Q'u seyna Iss Kit/Nap-Ta-Nee-Sha. Two significant historical events involved crossings of the preexisting and many-named web of trails now known collectively as the Lolo Trail, and both of these events are enshrined by the modern bureaucratic designation of national historic trail.
In order to avoid the impression that the Lewis and Clark experience was more significant than the Nez Perce experience, a separate interpretive sign is devoted to each. The Lewis and Clark panel emphasizes the group's reliance on Nez Perce, Salish, and Shoshone guides to help them across the Bitterroots-the crossing would likely have been impossible without them-and especially the fact that "the gratitude that Lewis and Clark felt...was not honored by later generations." The Nez Perce panel commemorates the ghastly events of 1877, when the United States Army chased 750 Nez Perce men, women, and children off their ancestral lands-lands previously deeded to them in a formal treaty with the U.S. government-because the Nez Perce were harassing gold prospectors on Nez Perce property.
Next comes the problem of the landscape itself. A Forest Service plaque elsewhere along the Lolo Trail corridor is titled "Soldiers as Naturalists," pointing out what many of us hold so dear about Lewis and Clark's journey, that it was "the first major expedition launched by the United States to explore new lands with an emphasis on scientific inquiry." Shaking off the vertigo brought on by the Howard Creek interpretive signs — I found the Nez Perce catastrophe, and its historical link to Lewis and Clark, more upsetting than I'd anticipated — and went on a naturalist hike of my own.
Climbing that slope of evergreens, where the Corps of Discovery had struggled over fallen timber, I kept my eyes out for species they recorded here. It didn't take long: The damp air rang with the songs of a cedar waxwing. Well, it sounded that way to me, and at least some of those bright-green shrubs in the shadowy understory were snowberry, and that was almost certainly a female pileated woodpecker I saw lighting on a sunlit branch, while a colorful male tried to make time with her.
I was delighted to find a western trillium blooming pretty and white in the red duff of the mulching pine needles, but trying to see the mountains that Lewis and Clark saw also produces the creeping realization that their mountains no longer exist-or at least not along the Lolo Trail. Head north into what's called the Great Burn, a 250,000-acre roadless area that the Sierra Club is working to protect (see page 26), and you can still find forests every bit as pristine as the ones Lewis and Clark described. But if you hew to the route the explorers actually followed, you'll see entire slopes riddled with logging roads and scarred by the dragging of felled trees. The visual effect is so jarring that other Forest Service interpretive plaques struggle to explain.
Reading them, you can almost hear a worried ranger thinking, Gee, you know, the Lewis and Clark bicentennial is coming up, and people are really going to wonder why their national forest looks so lousy. One of these signs explains that the federal government, in the 19th century, tried twice to entice railroad companies to build tracks across the Lolo Trail country by giving them alternating square-mile sections of land in a checkerboard pattern through the proposed track corridor. The railroads never happened, but the companies were allowed to keep the public property for which they had paid not so much as a penny. That property eventually fell into the hands of timber harvesters, and the result is the hideous clearcuts today.
"This land," begins another plaque, putting a particular spin on the issue, "was the aboriginal territory of the Nez Perce and Salish People. They viewed the Lewis and Clark expedition as a business venture into a very old cultural landscape-the territory of sovereign nations with richly developed cultures. The people who followed Lewis and Clark practiced a more visually evident style of land management than did the American Indians. American Indians utilized resources made available by natural events. Today, on the other hand, we often create disturbances to make resources available. The look of the landscape along Lolo Creek reflects that style."
This is an exquisitely tortured piece of writing. The text addresses the theft of Indian lands without naming it, puts an argument about the true purpose of the Lewis and Clark expedition-commercial and territorial expansion-in the mouths of local peoples, implicitly readdresses the fantasy of Lewis and Clark as pioneers in an empty wilderness, and explains that sinking feeling in your very own stomach-call it Clearcut-Induced Nausea Syndrome-in a masterpiece of compromise: "a more visually evident style of land management." Translation: They left the land alone, and we trashed it. I shudder to think of the committee meetings, rewrites, and arguments.

Who is your starting 5 of Rick Pitino players at UofL?
My friend Chris Tingley posed this question to me a couple of weeks ago, and it is very interesting and fun to talk about. Of all the players that Rick Pitino has coached at the University of Louisville, who would be your starting 5? Now I will say that some players did play multiple positions, and after discussion, we decided to only have each player on 1 poll. So guys like Francisco Garcia, Larry O'Bannon, Ellis Myles, and Samardo Samuels had to be placed in only 1 category, even though we are well aware that those guys (and others) could be on different polls.
Please vote for each position. This will run until the end of the week on Thursday night, so that will give us time to get the word out all week and get as many people as possible to vote on this.
Jerry Smith burries his hometown team at the buzzer!
By Justin Renck:
Jerry Smith grew up just about 15 minutes from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Marquette even offered him a scholarship when he was in the 8th grade! So you know this was a big game for the freshman when he returned home to take on the Golden Eagles.
UofL vs Syracuse- revisiting the Freedom Hall Finale
By Justin Renck:
When I think of UofL-Syracuse, the first thing that comes to mind was the final game at Freedom Hall, or the "Kyle Kuric show". It is kind of weird to even think that before this game, Kuric was never really a main player for UofL. He was ending his sophomore year and only averaging about 2 points per game. After this game, he went on to be a fan favorite (of course) but also play a main role for UofL for his last 2 seasons.

Jason carves a wooden Mio with a chainsaw Famous slasher Jason from Friday the 13th has apparently traded in his machete for a chainsaw to produce wood carvings (nicknamed "Mokkoroids") of our favorite anime and game characters. Jason-san's most recent work is a life-sized carving of Mio from K-ON! — impressive work as always. If he put her up for auction he'd probably get a lot. Some of the other carvings Jason-san has made include Nagi-sama (the Kannagi Nagi), Idolmaster characters, and Horo. Check out some more videos with big chainsaw service by Jason-san below.

"I thought Two Virgins was by John Lennon?", another younger agent asks.
"It was", Agent 13 responds, "but Paul McCartney did the liner notes."
"Are...you...through?" Nick asks Agent 13. The younger agent puts his head down and rushes off. "Yeah. That's pretty much all I got." Agent 13 responds. You get the impression that not many people within SHIELD can speak to Nick like that. The two of them obviously have some sort of shared history as well as what seems to be a strong respect for each other.
Nick turns back towards EnergyStar, somewhat calmer than he seemed before. "We're not sure where the ship is heading. It's far easier to beam you here and then beam you back to the planet wherever you are needed should they decide to decend to the surface. In spite of your limited experience, honey, not EVERYTHING happens to New York...any yer face ain't THAT pretty, sweetheart."

The ship seems to have stopped decending towards Earth, almost as if it has gone into orbit around the planet. Just before you manage to get the ship within range of your laser cannons, a small pod is ejected from the alien ship and it rockets towards the Earth with great speed. The main vessal appears to stay on the same orbital trajectory.

Remember back in the 1980s when Pascal was supposed to be one of the languages that "real" programmers needed to know? What happened to it? I haven't heard about Pascal in some time, other than a few vague descriptions suggesting it had been pretty much tossed aside in favor of "C."
Are a lot of people still using Pascal?

The Urban China Research Network (UCRN) promotes multidisciplinary research through international conferences, exchanges of faculty and students, establishment of working groups, and seed funding for new projects. Network members are at work on research projects ranging from urban morphology to the dynamics of rural-urban migration to issues concerning housing, crime and changing family structure within China.
UCRN was initiated in 1999 by researchers at the University at Albany, SUNY. Major research funding by the Andrew Mellon Foundation made it possible to organize a series of conferences and working groups and to sponsor a small grant program that supported over 100 young scholars during 2000-2005.
UCRN is now supported by many institutions and senior scholars around the world. The co-directors are Zai Liang (University at Albany) and John R. Logan (Brown University). Infrastructure support is provided by the University at Albany (Center for Social and Demographic Analysis) and Brown University. The steering committee includes scholars from University College London, Hong Kong Baptist University, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Sun Yat Sen University, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, Fudan University, and Shanghai University. The senior advisory committee represents a wide range of interests, including sociology, geography, history, economics, anthropology, political science, demography, and planning.
The Urban China Research Network is beginning to plan for a conference to be held at Brown University on May 8-9, 2015. Similar to the conference that we held in Albany last month, this conference will be based on papers presented by current doctoral students -- from any country and any discipline. A limited number of papers will be selected by the UCRN advisory board, and a board member will be assigned to comment on the paper in advance and to discuss the paper in person at the conference. UCRN will cover the local expenses for presenters; their institutions will be asked to handle travel to and from Providence.

After patching, since the patch modified Makefile.am, I should run aclocal, autoheader, autoconf, automake. I did that. Only then I realized that for some unknown reason I should also run libtoolize --force. Also, to rule out badly written patch, I executed these commands in the freshly unpacked source tree, without any patch. Since the problem reappeared, I assumed it's with autotools. That's what my first report is about. AFAIK libtoolize only adds config.guess, config.sub and ltmain.sh symlinks. Which of these files is responsible for guessing the shared library extension? Why did the old code break? I understand that auto* commands are needed when I change the Makefile.am file. But sometimes libtoolize --force is needed and sometimes not. What is the exact condition? Where in documentation is it stated? In other words: which file changed by invocation of autoheader, aclocal, autoconf, automake causes ltmain.sh in the package to become out-of-date? -- Alexander E.

Arkansas, Florida, And Georgia Get Their Own Pop Tarts
Darren Rovell of ESPN.com reports Kellogg's has reached agreements with five schools to make Pop Tarts with those schools' sports logos printed right in the icing. Sweet! (Or tart, I guess).
Three of the five Pop Tartable schools are in the SEC: Arkansas, Florida and Georgia. Michigan and North Carolina will also get in on the fun.
Ah, from "Frosted Razorback Red" to "Frosted Bulldog Berry" to "Frosted Florida Gators Strawberry," who could resist? Now athletes who decide to toke up can actually satisfy the ensuing muchies with officially licensed, school-themed pastries.
Anything for a buck. At least there's no expiration date on Twitter jokes about the product.
What's interesting is that each SEC school apparently cut its own deal with Kellogg's regarding the packaging. Arkansas' box design is different than those for Florida and Georgia. Georgia allowed their flavor to be called "Bulldog Berry," which brings to mind the old Lewis Grizzard "But that dog will bite youuuu" joke. Florida's flavor is officially "Florida Gators — trademark symbol — Strawberry."
We'll see if any other SEC schools jump on board the pastry train. To get your hands on an Auburn Pop Tart, you'd probably have to outbid a Mississippi State booster. A Tennessee Pop Tart would would be hard enough to throw through a car windshield. A Vanderbilt Pop Tart would come with a tassle to look more like a mortarboard. Etc, etc, etc.
No word on whether there's any truth to the rumor that Alabama is cutting its own marketing deal with the folks at Lipton's tea. (Think about it.)

In 1990, for instance, at the dermatology clinic where he worked, Resnick sidestepped scandal after the death of another doctor's patient who had received ultraviolet light therapy. And then there is his latest venture. According to more than a half-dozen former employees and clients at Imagen, Resnick has been known to misrepresent the services rendered at the spa in order to collect additional money from insurance providers.
Defense lawyer Sharpstein says such allegations are nonsense concocted by disgruntled ex-employees and other enemies.
But even some of Resnick's defenders concede there is a sad logic to all the accusations: The family legacy of attracting controversy has finally caught up with the youngest, quietest Resnick.
If officials from UM, or Mount Sinai, or even the FBI want evidence that Resnick used his publicly funded lab for personal reward, they won't have to look hard. The doctor freely admitted as much three years ago, in a sworn deposition taken after David Acer's insurance company CIGNA hired Resnick to testify in a civil lawsuit filed by Richard Driskill, one of the dentist's HIV-infected patients.
"Tell me the parameters of what you were to be paid for this research," Driskill's attorney asked Resnick during the December 1991 deposition.
"One hundred and fifty dollars an hour," Resnick replied.
"Describe for me more specifically how your group was to be paid by CIGNA."
"Wasn't really a group that was to be paid by CIGNA per se. It was based on $150 an hour [as] my rate, and the group itself was performing as part of a research project, funded by my own research."
"So do you have people that work under you in your lab?"
"Yes. I have a number of people who work under me."
"Are they also paid $150 an hour by CIGNA if they're working on this case?"
"No. No one else in my lab is paid by CIGNA."
In fact, the equipment in Resnick's lab, and the employees he supervised, were funded with public monies, primarily federal grants. Though the money was explicitly earmarked for specific research projects, by his own admission Resnick was using these resources to pursue private research for which he alone was paid.
When Driskill's lawyers showed Resnick's statement to their own experts, the reaction was immediate. "I saw something in there that just blew my mind," recalls one, a highly respected AIDS researcher. "This guy was openly admitting that tens of thousands of dollars were going straight to his pocket, based on work being done with federal research money. When you receive a grant from the government, that's for the betterment of mankind. You're not allowed to take that money and subvert it into a private endeavor."
Resnick did not actually subvert money into a private endeavor; what he did was more complicated. The lab at Mount Sinai was funded by a system known as "direct cost reimbursement," which meant that whenever Resnick needed money A to pay for staff salaries, equipment, et cetera A he submitted a form to Mount Sinai, detailing the specific grant projects for which the outlay was needed. Mount Sinai would pay the money, then pass on the information to the grant provider for reimbursement.
By failing to note that he also was devoting lab staff and equipment to private projects for which he was paid, Resnick was not complying with federal regulations. "What he should have done was note every time he used those resources for his own business," Resnick's civil attorney Alan Kluger acknowledges. "He simply didn't realize he had to do that."
But federal investigators say Resnick's actions may amount to fraud, because when he signed off on the reimbursement forms, he was misrepresenting to the government how the public funds were being spent.
All this was obvious to the scientist who reviewed Resnick's deposition three years ago. He was so furious, he says, that he called officials at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), one of the entities that had funded Resnick's lab. But after faxing them the relevant pages of the deposition, he says, he never heard back from them.
Resnick, meanwhile, continued to conduct research, both private and public, at the Mount Sinai lab. A lot of research.
According to a preliminary audit Mount Sinai officials ordered after they discovered Resnick was using the lab for private work, the doctor billed hundreds of thousands of dollars to a variety of entities over the past five years. He conducted numerous blood tests and clinical studies for companies hoping to develop AIDS medications. Last year, for instance, he billed $105,000 to a California company called Applied Immune Sciences Inc. The audit also includes the prospectus for a proposed study for Hoffmann-LaRoche, with an estimated budget of $875,000. Additional documents indicate Resnick was working with Searle, Abbott, and other pharmaceutical firms. He also charged lawyers for providing expert testimony, often based on work performed at the Mount Sinai lab. In the Driskill case alone, he billed $182,400. The City of Miami Beach paid Resnick $43,000 for a pair of high-tech DNA tests later used to defend a suit against the city. Mount Sinai's audit shows that Resnick's biggest customer was the University of Miami. Since 1989 UM has paid him more than $600,000, most of it in federal grant money, to conduct complex blood tests and other research for Dr. Margaret Fischl.


text: SIDEBAR 5-2 Blue Sky Ideas for Research on Environmental Issues • Economical recovery of metallic constituents from acid rock drainage releases, including methods of recovering iron sulfides in a form that could be used as a soil acidifier in agriculture. Technologies that could turn costly waste-treatment projects into economically viable production activities would have significant benefits in terms of resource conservation and waste minimization, in addition to the clear economic benefit of creating a secure and dedicated funding source for the remediation of acid rock drainage releases problems. • Sealing of pit walls to prevent the oxidation of sulfides and the formation of acidic pit lakes. Open-pit mine walls at or above the water level of a pit lake can continue to oxidize and adversely affect the quality of pit water if they contain unbuffered sulfide minerals. Significant technical barriers must be overcome to devise a cost-effective way to seal these rock faces and prevent their long-term oxidation. • Sealing of in-situ mineralized zones to prevent the inflow of groundwater and allow in-situ leaching and complete recovery of solutions without continuous pumping to maintain a cone of depression. The migration of metal-rich leaching solutions beyond the mineralized zone of an in-situ orebody and into the surrounding aquifer is currently controlled by continuous pumping of the groundwater to create and maintain a cone of depression around the operation. The cost of this dewatering activity, as well as the use of the water resource, could be eliminated if the mineralized zone could be sealed in place. Better control of the leaching solution would also provide a significant environmental benefit. • Remote sensing of groundwater quality throughout the operating life of a mine and during the closure and postclosure periods. Groundwater-monitoring programs at mine sites can involve large numbers of wells, require thousands of samples and analyses, and last for decades. Techniques for direct, down-hole measurements and data logging could significantly reduce the cost and human resources requirements of monitoring. • Effective, inexpensive technology for removing low concentrations of contaminants (e.g., selenium, arsenic) from high-flow volumes of water. The cost-effective recovery of low concentrations of potentially toxic large flows would have significant economic and environmental benefits. • Techniques for rapidly developing soils on mine wastes, heaps, and tailings. The direct vegetation of mine wastes, without a soil cover or amendments designed to create a suitable growth medium, may foster some plant growth but can result in the establishment of a monoculture that cannot support complex ecosystems. Research should be conducted to develop cost-effective techniques for creating soil that can support a diverse plant community directly from mine waste. |

Harvard pulled off the biggest shocker of the NCAA tournament Thursday by knocking out No. 3 seed New Mexico, 68-62. Then No. 15 seed Florida Gulf Coast claimed that distinction Friday with a convincing 78-68 win against Georgetown.
Florida Gulf Coast became the seventh No. 15 seed to win bump off a No. 2 seed, and the third in the past two seasons. The first time that a No. 15 seed beat a No. 2 was 1991 when Richmond derailed Syracuse. Florida Gulf Coast didn't exist as a school until 1997.
Harvard's win was the 17th time that a No. 14 seed has beaten a No. 3 seed since the tournament field expanded to 64 teams in 1985, so an upset coming from this part of the bracket is hardly an unprecedented development.
But sometimes the upset is about more than strictly the number of the seed. It has about the perception of the two teams, and Harvard brings plenty of decidedly non-basketball stereotypes to the table, Jeremy Lin notwithstanding.
Here's a look at notable first-round upsets in which second, third and fourth seeds went down in stunning fashion.
The No. 15 seed Eagles were making their first appearance in the NCAA tournament. It has been eligible for the tourney for just two years and lost 20 games in 2010-11. The Eagles led by as many as 19 points and ousted No. 2 seed Georgetown 78-68.
This was the first time that a No. 15 seed beat a No. 2 seed, but given Richmond's track record in the tournament, maybe it wasn't an absolute stunner. With coach Dick Tarrant, the Spiders had knocked off an Auburn team with Charles Barkley in 1984 and beat defending national champion Indiana in 1988.
This is the game that made Harold (The Show) Arceneaux a March Madness legend. Arceneaux finished with 36 points and made the winning free throws in a 76-74 win for No. 14 seed Weber State. It was the first time the Tar Heels lost their tourney opener since 1980.
No. 14 seed Cleveland State stunned the Hoosiers 83-79 and then kept going. It beat St. Joe's in the next round before losing to Navy and David Robinson, 71-70, in the regional semifinals. Indiana recovered to win the national title the next season.
The No. 13 seed Tigers had come close to toppling a giant before, but they finally broke through against UCLA, the defending national champions, 43-41. Gabe Lewullis scored the winning basket on a signature Princeton backdoor play with 3.9 seconds left

Bacchanal with a wine vat

- Bacchanalians with a wine vat, Bacchanal with a wine press
- Location
- Not on display
- Further information
Mantegna's art epitomizes the revival of the artistic ideas of antiquity that defines the Italian Renaissance. This classical scene was probably inspired by a Roman frieze, as might appear on a sarcophagus. In a setting of pagan revelry, the deity Bacchus is crowned with a vine wreath while a satyr dances in a puddle of wine and two inebriated putti lie sprawled in the foreground. The collector's mark at the top of the sheet, although partly cropped, identifies this engraving as having once belonged to Pope Benedict XIV (1675-1758). Most of his art collection was left to the city of Bologna.

Learning Science, Saving Dogs' Lives
In science class, eighth-graders gain hands-on knowledge of why dogs and hot cars don't go together
Think science class is boring? Not if you're in Mrs. Giordano's classroom at Brielle Elementary School in New Jersey. Textbook readings about heat energy transfer could put even an imaginative student to sleep, but eighth-grade teacher Elaine Giordano asked her students to assess these science concepts and how they apply to real life situations.
"Students need to see that science knowledge is at work in their everyday lives," said Mrs. Giordano.
Recognizing that many young people have a dog as a family pet or know a furry friend, she asked them to imagine that they were hired by The Humane Society of the United States to head a campaign to educate dog owners on the risks of leaving their pets alone in a car for an extended period of time.
The students created posters to show how radiation, convection, and conduction relate to a dog who is left in a car. On a warm day, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise rapidly to dangerous levels. On an 85 degree day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within ten minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees. This can happen even with a window partially open and the vehicle parked in shade. Since pets are not able to cool off the way people do, being trapped in a hot car can lead to heatstroke and even death.
Despite the serious subject matter, Mrs. Giordano urged her students to keep their messages positive. "I encouraged the kids to be uplifting about their message," she says. "Many of them used humor in their campaign poster and lighthearted messages to illustrate a tough topic."
Students were asked to include slogans or pictures in their posters that would positively engage others. The science lesson also became a lesson in advertising as students learned how to tune people in rather than turn them off with an admonishing tone or gruesome images.
The sixteen posters that made it to the finals were displayed in the hallway outside of their science classroom. Students from fourth to eighth grade were then asked to view the posters and vote for the top three.
One of the winning posters showed a Labrador in 3D popping out of a red hot car. The dog said, "Help, I'm a chocolate lab, I'll melt!"
"Many of us were unaware of the things dogs go through when left in cars. So now we learned a life lesson and a science lesson simultaneously." - Kevin N., student
The project really brought the subject to life for the students. Here's what some of them had to say:
"Our project made us actually care about what we learned. We didn't just throw things together since this was a real issue. We wanted people to actually get what we are saying and apply it to their lives, because we cared about this topic." - Nicole L.
"This project may save a dog's life and prevent an owner's broken heart." - Alalyiah K.
"Many of us were unaware of the things dogs go through when left in cars. So now we learned a life lesson and a science lesson simultaneously." - Kevin N.
"I love it when my work is used to change the world for the better." - Liam R.
The winning posters were sent to The HSUS's New Jersey state director for possible display in an educational campaign this summer. The remaining finalists' posters will be displayed in the waiting room of a local veterinarian office, where students hope their message will reach even more people—and maybe even save a life.

But bureaucratic borders remain, as does what Washington attorney John O'Leary, who served as ambassador to Chile until last July, calls "a natural instinct to compartmentalize.
"How could something so well financed, so international, not get on our radar screen?" O'Leary asks. "What September 11 showed was a failure to gather, analyze, and act on intelligence in real time."
But was the intelligence Mohamed offered any good? "He could have fabricated the whole thing. It could have been partially true. Or maybe it was all the truth but people didn't judge it credible," says terrorism expert Dennis Jett, dean of the University of Florida's International Center. "There were a lot of indicators out there that Osama was going to do something, and frankly, nobody took them seriously."
Mohamed may have embellished his tale to enhance his chances for asylum, but his account was consistent, and he was persistent. For weeks before September 11, he told anyone who would listen about his hard-luck life, his picaresque adventures in South America, and his days in Buenos Aires, where "the most horrifying thing happened to me."
Argentina, along with parts of Brazil and Paraguay, has long been known as a crossroads of Islamic terrorist connections. In the last decade the Lebanese-backed terrorist group Hezbollah is believed to be responsible for two bombings that have killed 115 people in Buenos Aires. "Evidence is now emerging that links Muslim activities in the region to the September 11 attacks on the United States," the Jane's Terrorism and Security Monitor newsletter reported in October. "And worse still, that an insider's attempt to issue warnings of the impending attack were ignored."
The insider Jane's refers to here is not Shaheed Mohamed but rather a 27-year-old Moroccan student arrested last year in Brazil. But the pre-September 11 warnings from each man about impending actions directed at the United States have a similar ring.
"I cannot explain everything that I have seen," Mohamed wrote in the fifteen-page July letter to the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center (FIAC), a nonprofit group that promotes immigrants' rights. "But I know that America is the great target of the Muslim world of terrorism."
On August 23, two and a half weeks before hijacked planes struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Mohamed told the same story to an INS judge.
Lawyers at FIAC deemed him "forthcoming, very credible," according to Charu Newhouse al-Sahli, one of several attorneys who met with Mohamed while he was in federal custody in Bradenton, south of Tampa, where the INS rents jail space from Manatee County. They also talked often with Mohamed over the phone. "His accounts of things are extremely detailed," she says. "He couldn't make up that much detail."
But immigration judge Jonathan D. Dowell was not impressed. At the conclusion of the August hearing, he immediately denied Mohamed's request for asylum and ordered him deported, either to Trinidad, Britain, or any other British Commonwealth country that would take him.
On December 6 Mohamed was removed from the Manatee County Jail, and under INS escort was flown to Trinidad, where he said Muslim militants intended to kill him. He has not been heard from since.
When the history of America's war on terrorism is written, Mohamed may be little more than a footnote. But his account of sitting in on terrorist planning sessions, his past as a police informant who infiltrated militant Islamic groups in Trinidad, and his July warning in which he mentioned three specific U.S. locations -- New York, New Jersey, and Los Angeles -- now seem intriguing at the very least.
Since September 11 more than 1000 Muslims, Arabs, or others from the Middle East have been detained by federal authorities in an effort to reconstruct the movements of the hijackers and ferret out any hidden al Qaeda cells in the United States.
Shaheed Mohamed, however, was in custody long before the post-September 11 roundups began. He had been shuttled by the INS from Miami's Krome Detention Center to the Manatee County Jail, where other inmates, he says, taunted him by calling him bin Laden. He was frightened for his safety. "Everybody here came from prison," he wrote, "and I came from the airport."
Indeed Mohamed was different from the other prisoners, and from most of the other foreign nationals being held by federal authorities. Although he is a Muslim, he is not an Arab. He does not speak Arabic. He harbored no ill will toward the United States and in fact wanted to tell officials what he knew.
By his own account Mohamed has led a life on society's margins. He acknowledges a record of irresponsibility and bad choices. He served jail time in Saratoga County, New York, on a fraud conviction and was deported from the United States in 1990. He has been imprisoned three times in Trinidad, once for two years, and he admits he has not supported his wife and children for years.
At home he has been beaten up, stabbed, and run down by a car after Muslim militants discovered he had become a paid police informant. Hiding out in Trinidad and Tobago, he fell in with marijuana smugglers, worked as a courier for gun runners, and was only too happy to take refuge in mosques that did not require him to work in exchange for shelter and food. "He was known as something of a con man," according to the FBI's Judy Orihuela.

KISS kicks off Cheyenne Frontier Days, skips over Denver
In possibly one of the strangest bills yet, we've just learned that KISS is slated to kick off this year's Cheyenne Frontier Days and rodeo on Friday, July 23. The other acts on the bill, we think you'll agree, are slightly less incongruous: Brooks & Dunn, Aaron Tippin & Neal McCoy, Clay Walker, Dierks Bentley & Miranda Lambert, Sugarland and Alan Jackson. The date also marks the start of another leg of the band's Hottest Show on Earth tour, which, as it happens, is skipping Denver this time around, and instead heading north to North Dakota the day after its gig in Cheyenne. Tickets ($38-$58) are on sale now at the Frontier Days site.

Bookshelves typically take up a lot of space in a room and their visual appeal can make a big impact. Learning to decorate bookshelves effectively will help define your space. Think of it as hanging art on a vacant wall. What do you want that art to represent? How do you want the room to feel?
Here are some basic considerations when decorating bookshelves:
Don't over decorate! Many homeowners think they need to fill every nook and cranny of open space. This typically results in the area looking cluttered or disorganized. Instead, keep it simple.
Break up symmetry. Bookcases already have too much symmetry and linear design. Use varying heights, round objects, flowing greenery, and unpredictable "patterns" when decorating the shelves to break up the symmetry.
Think outside the "box". Incorporate round decorative mirrors, artwork on easels, or display decorative platters to help create dimension and visual interest.
Group like items to create the appearance of organization such as items of similar height and color, a family of vases, or assorted picture frames with a similar theme.
Don't hesitate to fill a shelf with a large-scale item, such as a single statue or arrangement. When placed at eye level, it will help create a focal point.
Books should take up no more than 1/3 of the overall space. The remaining space should consist of a balance between open space and decorative items. If you have a larger scale library and you plan to fill more than one shelf end-to-end with books, do so randomly within the bookcase to maintain the visual balance.
To decorate with books, group them according to appearance (similar color, thickness, etc.), use odd numbers (a grouping of three or five books typically works well), and scale them in height (tallest to shortest).
Remember this does not have to be an expensive project! Don't be afraid to "borrow" items from other areas of your home or purchase inexpensive accessories from discount stores, such as Homegoods or Target.
Routinely re-evaluate the space and mix things up by adding some new pieces or rearranging the existing pieces for a new feel.
If the project feels too overwhelming, bring in an expert! A skilled interior designer has an objective eye and their expertise will create a beautiful outcome.
