BNP Paribas has closed financing of the first of two new Airbus A320 deliveries to LATAM Airlines Group.
The French bank is the arranger of a commercial debt facility covering an A320 (MSN 5707) delivered to LAN Airlines. The second aircraft under this facility is expected to be delivered in December.
The transaction is part of an eight-aircraft mandate arranged by a syndicate of banks. BNP Paribas and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia are the structuring agents, and, together with the Development Bank of Japan and NordLB, form the mandated joint lead arrangers.
The aircraft will be delivered to LATAM Airlines Group during the third and fourth quarter 2013.
Each of the mandated lead arrangers funds two aircraft under this facility, which is agented by BNP Paribas and represents the first time that LATAM is tapping the commercial debt market for its Airbus equipment.
Earlier this month German bank NordLB funded an A320 (5654) delivered to TAM Linhas Aereas, while Commonwealth Bank of Australia funded an A320 (5683), delivered to LAN Airlines.

BACKGROUND: Tracing the origin of a metastasis of a neuroendocrine carcinoma is a challenge. The transcription factors Cdx2 and TTF1 have been found to be helpful in identifying well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors of gastrointestinal and pulmonary origin, respectively. So far, such a marker is lacking for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PETs) and metastases thereof. Islet1 (Isl1) is a transcription factor expressed in pancreatic islet cells. The aim of this study was (1) to test the specificity and sensitivity of Isl1 as a marker of PETs, and (2) to test the specificity and sensitivity of a panel of markers, including Isl1, Cdx2, and TTF1, for the localization of the primary. DESIGN: One hundred eighty-eight primary gastroenteropancreatic and pulmonary endocrine tumors and 49 metastases thereof were examined. Immunohistochemistry using antibodies directed against Isl1, Cdx2, and TTF1 was performed and the staining results were scored semiquantitatively. RESULTS: Isl1 proved to be a highly specific marker for pancreatic endocrine tumors. In 84 primary PET its specificity was 78.4% (sensitivity 74.3%) and in 18 metastases of PET the specificity reached 100% (sensitivity 77.8%). Strong Cdx2 staining showed a specificity for gastrointestinal origin of 83.9% (sensitivity 82%) in primary tumors and of 100% (sensitivity 40%) in metastases. Including weakly positive tumors lead to a decreased specificity but an increased sensitivity. TTF1 expression was detected in 2 PET and 1 ileal primary tumor only and was absent in all metastases of gastroenteropancreatic endocrine tumors. CONCLUSIONS: Isl1 is a reliable marker of pancreatic endocrine tumors and metastases thereof. It shows a comparable sensitivity and specificity as Cdx2 as a marker of ileal and appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors and their metastases. TTF1 is very rarely expressed in well-differentiated gastroentero-PETs. Therefore, the panel of Isl1, Cdx2, and TTF1 seems useful for examining metastases of well-differentiated endocrine carcinomas of unknown origin.

Chicken Egg as a Cell
Name: Ronni T. Status: Student Age: 20s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
I am fighting with my boyfriend because I say that a chicken egg is a SINGLE cell. He says that a chicken egg is made up of multiple cells. Is it one tiny cell surrounded by proteins OR, is it one large cell containing the proteins within its large membrane? Thanks for your help.
You are right and your boyfriend is wrong...its one cell...the Ostrich egg is the largest cell on Earth....I think your boyfriend should have to suck an egg.
This is a great question! However, there is only one cell in a unfertilized chicken egg and the rest is by definition of what an is an egg.
The controversy is -does the egg shell membrane encompasses the nucleus containing the genetic material and the cytoplasm (together called an ovum) or does the ovum have the cell membrane and the yolk and albumen are separate structures in birds. With most mammals, they are together in the cytoplasm.
The yolk and albumen together contain a rich supply of protein and all the other nutrients to allow the developing bird an adequate supply for 3 weeks or so. The albumen and the york are frequently viewed as large food vacuoles or containers and an essential element to the ovum's potential development; and all the components are enclosed by one single membrane.
Actually, the ovum is intergrated with the yolk in mostly all organisms, but since the yolk is part of many ovum's cytoplasm in most animals and not in others, it becomes a matter of definition as to whether the Ostrich's egg is the largest living single cell [before development] having the yolk separated from the cyctoplasm.
Since man makes the definitions of structures, not nature, we find that science has made the egg or ovum of three or more types by definition. It so happens that with or without the yolk and albumen, the poultry ovum is the largest living cell. If you investigate the details, one of the egg (ovum) definitions does make the Ostrich Egg a one cell unit. I'm sure that like so many other definitions in science, there is not a complete universally accepted agreement.
Whatever, there is only one cell in the unfertilized chicken egg when it is laid.

Another use for hydrogen peroxide is to treat bacterial vaginosis (bacterial infection of the vagina - very different from yeast).
It has actually been shown to be effective even *without* antibiotic treatment and even in cases that did not respond to the first round of treatment.
Better still, because it helps balance the pH of the vagina, it encourages the regrowth of "good" bacteria. Keeping things healthy down there is a delicate balance. Treating for yeast can encourage BV and treating for BV can encourage yeast! If you've been diagnosed, you might want to ask your doctor about this treatment.
The study I saw used the three percent concentration of hydrogen peroxide.

In the unluckiest of cases, families and investigators conduct their own parallel investigations for decades — cops and coroners searching for clues to identify an unknown body; sons and daughters or mothers and fathers searching for a sign of what happened to their loved one — until fortune, and DNA, finally connect them.
That's what happened last year when a dismembered body discovered in 1985 was finally identified as Nilsa Padilla. (The case was described in the May 9, 2013 New Times cover story, "Memories of Murder.") Padilla's daughter said she had witnessed the killing when she was a child. But it took more than two decades for her horrific story to be taken seriously. When cops finally reopened the case, scientists tested the 27-year-old bones, and the results came back a match. Police are now looking for Padilla's killer.
Even that saga, however, seems simple compared with the fate of the bones that Mina Coleman's dogs discovered in Tamiami in 1997. At first, Coleman didn't think much of the find. She threw the bones on top of her carport to keep them away from the dogs and then forgot about them.
Eight months later, however, her father happened to be talking to Dr. Joe Davis, then the Miami-Dade medical examiner. Davis asked to look at the bones. When Coleman pulled one down, Davis immediately recognized it as a man's femur.
Cops used police dogs to search the adjacent woods. But after several days, all they could find were animal carcasses. It would be another year before the body would be found.
On April 27, 1999, two men were surveying an overgrown lot near Coleman's house when they spotted something strange: a noose dangling from a tree. Underneath it lay a human skull. This time, cops found the skeleton and confirmed it belonged to the same body as the bones Coleman's dogs had discovered.
Even with an entire skeleton, it would take 12 years for technology to catch up to the case. In the meantime, family members fruitlessly searched for signs of Victor Murgado. The handsome, mustached Cuban had paddled himself to Miami on a raft in September 1995. But he grew frustrated that he couldn't find a job. On January 17, 1996, Murgado left his wallet on the kitchen counter of his cramped trailer. He was last seen riding away on a black bicycle with chrome fenders.
On July 28, 2011, the University of North Texas lab finally matched a bone sample taken by Boyd to DNA taken from Murgado's family. The two parallel mysteries snapped together into one sad, seamless story. On that cool January day 15 years earlier, Murgado was pedaling along when he spotted a shady copse of Australian pine. He stopped his bicycle, walked across the soft carpet of fallen needles, and slung a rope around the bough of a solitary melaleuca tree. Then, in a fit of depression, he hanged himself.

Ever since I was twelve years old, I wanted to go to Gordon. It was where one of my five sisters went, but it was still my dream school. However, applying as only an average student I knew that it would be very challenging for me to make it in. Although I was an undecided major for almost two years, today I am proud to say that I am a senior social work major here at Gordon. I did it, and I absolutely love this place. I have remained an average student, but I have excelled in other areas of my college career that continue to shape me into the person I want to be in the world someday.
I have played on the women's varsity soccer team the past three years and this upcoming year I was nominated as captain of the team. I work for the Executive Vice President, Dan Tymann, as his assistant all throughout the year and summer. The people I work with are incredible. Someday I hope to be a social worker assisting the elderly population, helping them to comfortably remain in their homes while I research and provide programs and services to meet them where they are at. Gordon has already provided me with an internship where I can do exactly that next spring semester and I can't wait to start! My passion is helping people, loving on people and seeing God's subtle but incredible grace within people.
Fun Facts:
My two absolute favorite things to do in life are apple picking and whale watching. So random I know, but those were the two things I loved most as a kid when we got to do them. I guess I still haven't grown up completely! I also love camping and having picnics anywhere that I can.

Mathilda Geppert Toddler Program
The USD Children's Center Toddler Program is designed to accommodate children between the ages of 12 months and 36 months. The Toddler Program is housed in three classrooms, has approximately 10 children enrolled in each room, and each classroom is directed by an experienced teacher with the aid of USD student childcare assistants.
Using the Creative Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers, the Toddler Program is designed around the growing child; child directed and child centered. Children are provided opportunities which include water play, tactile play, books, blocks, toys, puzzles, musical instruments and a variety of art media for experimentation.
With the choices offered, the children are encouraged to use all of their senses of discovery to master and integrate skills and language. Special care is placed on modeling social awareness and to acknowledge and respect emotions. At the Children's Center, toddler-aged children learn to make new friends and begin the process of separation.
Children in this age group eat family style meals in the dining area. As with the infant program we honor parent choices and work with parents and child's development to assist in potty training.
The Center has a fenced playground specifically designed for toddler age children with access from each room.

2011 Ford Fiesta -- Interior
When the model year 2006 Honda Civic went on sale in late 2005, its interior "video game" dash caused quite a stir from both the press and the public. I can see the all-new Ford Fiesta's interior causing a similar reaction.
The specific section I'm talking about is the center stack. The infotainment controls splay out like butterfly wings, with setting controls slanting towards the driver while the numeric pad angles at the passenger side. I found myself glancing more than once at the unique arrangement but discovered it actually works quite well. A status screen sits above the array, hooded against all but direct sunlight. Many of us were surprised by the turn signal, which progressively clicked on after one touch ala German turn signals. Personally, I like the touch.
The Fiesta felt competitive with its rivals' best offerings. Soft plastics covered the dash and cloth, not mouse fur, lined the headliner. The control buttons and knobs were dampened, a surprise at this price segment. An elbow pad on the interior panel was covered in either cloth or leather depending on the trim. Note both driver and passenger seat backsides were padded and covered as well, an unusual touch. There's only one map sleeve, which is located behind the passenger seat. Fit and finish were quite good; I saw no glaring misalignments of door panels, etc.
Front row space was adequate for tall people. (I'm six feet tall). However, my head touch the sloping roof in both hatchback and sedan models. And leg space was on the tight side especially with the front seats pushed back though the footwells were generous for thick shoes. Second row folded in 60/40 split though not flat like the Honda Fit.
There are at least five cupholders in the Fiesta.

Should false rape accusers be sued?By Roxanne JonesUpdated 7:52 AM ET, Tue December 17, 2013Roxanne Jones says men who find themselves falsely accused of rape are turning to suing their accusers in civil court.Story highlightsRoxanne Jones: 2% to 8% of rape accusations are "unfounded" Jones: Some men who insist they've been falsely accused are suing accusers in civil courtJones asks if Jameis Winston is innocent, shouldn't he sue his accuser to prove it?It's more complicated than that, she says. You can't win, it could end in a backlashEighty years -- that's about how long it took the state of Alabama to posthumously pardon the last three of nine men who were falsely accused and wrongly convicted of raping two white women on a train. They infamously were called the Scottsboro Boys, because the nine black men were just 12- to 19-years-old when they were arrested in 1931.It turned out that the women, Ruby Bates and Victoria Price, had lied to police about the rapes. At one of the trials, Bates recanted her testimony, saying she had made it all up. Still, the all-white jury convicted the boys, one after another.Forty-three years later, a similar story: This time it was Delbert Tibbs, who died recently of cancer. Tibbs spent nearly three years in prison in Florida after he was convicted in 1974 of a rape and murder that he had nothing to do with, according to the Florida Supreme Court.Ancient history, you say? We've moved past those shameful days of unequal justice, you insist. Think again.Roxanne JonesIn 2012, according to the FBI, nearly 87,000 "forcible rapes" were reported. That's down 7% from the number of rapes reported in 2008. Law enforcement agencies estimate that the number of false rape accusations ranges from 2% to 8% annually, or between 2,000 and 7,000 cases each year. Exact numbers are difficult to track because of the lack of in-depth research on false rape cases and because of the varying definitions of what constitutes an "unfounded" rape claim. It can mean the alleged victim did not try to fight off the suspect or suffer injuries, was not threatened with a weapon or the victim and perpetrator had a previous relationship.Law enforcement experts agree that rapes are widely underreported, and no one is suggesting that violence against women isn't a serious problem. But experts do not dispute that false rape accusations can and do happen. Many of those innocent men end up in prison or with lives shattered.One of the unfortunate statisticsIn 2002, Brian Banks was one of those unfortunate statistics. He was just 17 when a classmate, Wanetta Gibson, 15, falsely accused him of raping her at school. Banks, then a top football talent, spent more than five years in prison and five years on probation for rape and kidnapping. He was exonerated after he got his accuser to admit on tape that she lied about the rape. Banks later explained that his attorney had advised him to take a plea bargain and avoid a jury trial because "... I was a big black teenager, and no jury would believe anything I said."Just WatchedNo rape charge for FSU's Jameis WinstonreplayMore Videos ...No rape charge for FSU's Jameis Winston 00:53PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedAnd the Heisman trophy goes to ... replayMore Videos ...And the Heisman trophy goes to ... 02:21PLAY VIDEOThe Long Beach Unified School District sued his accuser, and she has been ordered to repay the $750,000 she was awarded in a lawsuit against the district. It seems more men who insist they have been falsely accused of rape are trying a new tactic: suing their accusers in civil court, mostly for defamation. They are seeking to repair their ruined lives, save their careers and clear their names. Make no mistake, I could never defend men who rape and believe even harsher penalties are needed for rapists. But I can understand why some men are opting to fight back. And I even agree with this strategy in some cases.TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington is fighting back. Arrington is suing his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Allen, after she accused him in 2012 on Facebook and Twitter posts of physically abusing her and raping one of her friends (who later denied this). The case is pending.Recently, it sounded as if Heisman Trophy winner and Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, who was accused of raping a fellow student, and his legal team were also considering this strategy. His attorney, Tim Jansen, said that they have not ruled out a civil suit of their own."His reputation is important to him," Jansen said after his client was cleared when the state attorney said no charges would be filed. "His career is important to him." The accuser's attorney has requested a review of the case by the Florida attorney general's office and argues that the Tallahassee Police Department tried to stymie the rape investigation of the star athlete. Throughout the investigation, Winston insisted that the sex was consensual. And his unidentified accuser equally insisted she was raped but was heavily intoxicated and had a "broken memory" of events. However, toxicology reports found no drugs in her system and very low alcohol levels. Complicating the case further, Winston's DNA was found on the woman's underwear and a second DNA sample, reportedly from her boyfriend, was found on her shorts.No simple solution to clearing your nameAdmittedly, my initial reaction to hearing no charges would be filed was relief. For me, the case was troubling on both sides. And though I'm no lawyer, I thought: "Winston should sue his accuser. If he's really innocent, he should prove it and clear his name."But it may not be that simple. Xavier Donaldson, a defense attorney and former assistant district attorney in New York, warns that while initiating these lawsuits against accusers may seem like a good way for men who are wrongly accused to get justice, he'd be hard-pressed to advise any of his clients to pursue this strategy."It's a very sensitive issue, and these suits should be extremely case specific, extremely rare. ... You can't win these cases, too much backlash," Donaldson said.His advice to Winston: "Move on with your life, remain above the scandal, and focus on school and following your dream to play in the NFL."I asked Donaldson what about the thousands of men who are wrongly accused -- just ignore them? "Look, I tell my clients innocent before proven guilty is not reality. It's more of a marketing slogan to promote faith in our justice system; without that premise, the system would fall apart," he said. He also said it could "discourage too many from reporting real rapes." It sounds to me like ancient history repeating itself. It sounds to me like we have a very long way to go before there's justice for all.Follow us on Twitter @CNNOpinion.Join us on Facebook.com/CNNOpinion.

ConsWorking for a publicly held company isn't all it's cracked up to be. Accelrys' strategy is to grow through M&A (they are sitting on a ton of cash) and management doesn't seem to make any efforts to integrate new acquisitions with the existing product line in a way that makes sense. Legacy companies/divisions are extremely territorial and protective of their turf and often unwilling to help out others. Even at HQ in San Diego, there are turf battles between biz opps, marketing, sales, services and support.
Advice to ManagementAdviceDon't be afraid to hire managers who can make tough decisions. Paralysis analysis is crippling ACCL and it won't get better as long as your managers feels like everything is being second guessed up the chain. Managers and employees need clear goals (and incentives that support those goals) and a careful balance between Responsibilities, Accountability and the Authority to make things happen. Good luck!

Political endorsements
Candidate endorsements for the June 8th Primary Election
April 2010 National and State Offices Sam Farr | U.S. House of Representatives Bill Monning | California State Assembly, 27th District Monterey County National and State Offices Sam Farr Representative Farr has earned endorsement by the Sierra Club for his tenth bid for the House of Representatives. He has been one of the environment's most stalwart friends during his 15 years in public office. Farr is co-chair of the House Oceans Caucus and continues to provide leadership on ocean policy in Congress. During his tenure in Congress, he has consistently fought for funding and development of ocean activities and programs. In January 2009 Farr introduced legislation known as Oceans-21, the cornerstone of a strategy to implement the highest priority recommendations for ocean policy. As part of this policy he has recently authored bills that will give added protection and funding for the Southern Sea Otter, create and fund ocean research programs, and establish the Ocean and Great Lakes Conservation Trust Fund to responsibly manage regional and national oceans, coastlines and Great Lakes region through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Ocean policy legislation Farr has cosponsored includes a bill that requires rapid testing methods for bodies of water and forces states to issue beach advisories within 24 hours. Other laws have dealt with establishment of a public-private partnership to identify and conserve salmon strongholds, permanent prohibition of oil and gas leasing off the California coast, increased enforcement and penalties for violations related to illegal, unreported, or unregulated fishing, and more stringent protection for coral reefs, marine turtles, and sharks. A lifelong advocate for the natural wilderness areas in Monterey County, Farr sponsored two wilderness bills last year. One would upgrade the status of Pinnacles National Monument to a National Park and add 2,905 acres to Pinnacles wilderness. The second bill would create a separate funding source for the Big Sur portion of the Los Padres National Forest and add portions of five local rivers to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. To contact Congressman Farr's congressional office or learn more about his public service record go to www.farr.house.gov. To help with his campaign contact: http://friendsoffarr.org. Pedro Nava Sierra Club endorses Assembly member Pedro Nava for state Attorney General, which is probably the second-most important position in the state government. As the top lawyer for the state, the Attorney General enforces our environmental laws, including the California Environmental Quality Act, the Global Warming Solutions Act, and the Coastal Act. As an Assembly member, Nava has introduced important environmental legislation, including bills banning the use of lead ammunition in Condor country, establishing a comprehensive oil spill prevention program, and strengthening watershed protection. Additionally, Nava has been a staunch opponent of offshore oil drilling in California Coastal Sanctuary waters. Prior to his service in the Assembly, Nava served on the California Coastal Commission for eight years where he had the highest coastal resource protection voting record. Sierra Club California sent questionnaires to all nine viable candidates in this race. None of the three Republicans returned the questionnaires. All six Democratic candidates participated and were interviewed by our team. The last two Attorneys General, Bill Lockyer and Jerry Brown, have set a high standard of standing up for California's air, water, and wild places. We are confident that Pedro Nava will continue and enhance that standard. Barbara Boxer Senator Boxer will hold strong on our issues as she has for her 28 years in Congress. Now as Chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, she has addressed climate change by advocating for clean energy jobs. She supports California's AB 32 which will reduce carbon emissions. Boxer's work has led to the preservation of more than one million acres of wildlands in California. She is still working to stop offshore drilling and to halt the proliferation of toxic chemicals in our environment. Boxer was a cub reporter for the Pacific Sun, the alternative weekly in Marin/Sonoma, in the early 70s. She wrote about local environmental issues—an environmentalist in word and deed from the very beginning. The Marin Group was instrumental in encouraging Boxer's first run for office, Marin County Supervisor in 1976, and she won. The Sierra Club has endorsed Boxer in all of her races since then: in 1982 she ran for the House and won, and in 1992 she ran for Senate and won. In this difficult political year, we stand once again in support of Barbara Boxer. She is a steadfast fighter for the environment. Bill Monning Sierra Club endorses Bill Monning (D-Carmel) for a second term as Assembly member for AD 27 which includes coastal communities in Monterey County, and portions of Santa Cruz County and Santa Clara County. Sierra Club California has given Monning a 100% score on its 2009 California Legislative Report Card. Assembly member Monning was one of only two Assembly members to support the Sierra Club's position on all 15 of its priority issues for 2009. Some of these priorities were opposition to off-shore oil drilling, timber harvesting, and support for state parks. Monning said: "I am honored to be one of the few members of the Legislature to be selected for early endorsement by the Sierra Club California. Ultimately, our stewardship of our region, state, and the planet will determine the rate and impacts of climate change. Waste management, recycling, reduction of plastics, water conservation, and sound forest management are all areas where we can make a difference through education and advocacy. I look forward to our continued collaboration to protect our coast, habitat, and species while promoting green jobs, green tech, and green lifestyles. The quality of life of all Californians is intimately tied to how we define and practice our relationship with nature." This year Monning introduced AB 1956 which provides guidelines to ensure a long-term safe and reliable food supply for the California condor, while also fostering additional collaboration with the Department of Fish and Game to recover this species to the wild. Monning also just introduced a resolution in the Assembly urging the federal government to protect public health and the environment by requiring the disclosure of ingredients in pesticides. "Americans have no idea what chemicals they are being exposed to, since elements that are deemed inert or inactive never show up on pesticide ingredient lists. Not only do consumers have the right to know the complete list of pesticide ingredients that are put on their food and end up in their drinking water, but in the case of an emergency, it is critical for our health care professionals to have access to the full ingredient list of pesticides so they can properly treat anyone who was exposed to them," he said. To help with Monning's campaign contact: www.friendsofbillmonning.org. Monterey County Ed Mitchell Ed Mitchell has earned the Club endorsement for District 2 in North Salinas and North Monterey County. Mitchell is running on a strong platform of environmental reform in an area of the county plagued by mismanagement and poor water quality. Ed has a long record of opposing current water and land use policies which compromise human safety as well as damage the environment. Working with his wife Jan and Chapter members he has tirelessly advocated for almost two decades for improved water quality and safety in North County. Currently, dozens of families are without water in the Granite Ridge area, and private wells all over District 2 suffer from rising arsenic and nitrate pollution. Several private water systems do not meet safe drinking standards, and saltwater intrusion is pushing inland. In 2007 Mitchell discovered that 45% of the fire suppression water capacity was not built in a subdivision in Pesante Canyon, placing 400 families in the area at risk from not having adequate fire protection as required by state law and by county ordinance. The Board of Supervisors was not responsive. Only after Mitchell took a "failure to enforce" petition to the Office of the Attorney General of the State of California, did the County fund and contract for building the needed water capacity. Since January 2000, the Mitchells have donated use of their ranch by the Red Wings Horse Sanctuary for abused and abandoned horses. As Supervisor, Mitchell is also willing to oppose continual approval of subdivisions at maximum size, septic tank pollution of local water sources, level-1 toxic waste seeping out of the Crazy Horse garbage dump, and the application of noxious chemicals in agriculture which put residents, farm workers, and wildlife at risk. Chapter members are encouraged to help support Ed Mitchell's campaign and become involved. His website is: www.mitchellforsupervisor.com. |

I feel your pain, I lost my first quad under similar circumstances. Got too high, lost orientation, it was windy. I plodded around a cow paddy for over 4 hours and never found it. I learned an expensive lesson that day and one that I never repeated. Fly within your ability level, take baby steps before you jump off the cliff. Just because you can shoot some GoPro video does not make you a A/P company. There is a big difference between guys like you and me, and the professionals that do this as a business. That have the post production capabilities. I have been doing this for a few years, I have some high end equipment, I am not a professional and would not even consider trying to compete against those that are. They have $10's of thousands of dollars invested in their equipment, and someone comes in and offers to do the job for $.10 on the $1.00. Will it be as good no, but in this economy the lowest bidder a lot of the time gets the gig. My suggestion is to pay some dues. Get with a Pro A/P guy and do some freebee grunt work and learn everything you can. Fly MR's, learn to fly SR Helis. Be a pilot, they are in higher demand than the camera guy.

Well, I'm back from another unsucceful search.
Thanks to you all for your support and advice. I would have to agree with pretty much everything that was said here. I did not have enough experience, that's obvious given the results, but before this flight I thought I had it I wasn't at ease with the location before the flight, I didn't like that there were people around, thats why I shoot on christmas day that the plaza was closed, nor the fact that I could not see far because I was surrounded by buildings. I never thought I would loose the quad like that. I should have listened to my guts. I am very happy that nobody got hurt, it could have ruined someones life. I would be much more careful in the future selecting my locations, if and when I get on the air again, thats for sure. I live in a third world country in the caribbrean, unfortunately I dont have someone who can teach me so it was all by myself. I probably own(ed) the only quad in the island! for us to access that kind of technology is very hard, we don't earn in dollars here. So for my family is a serious set back, even if the amount of money lost is not huge in the big picture. we were hoping to be starting a new business, even if it was a small one. I don't think you need a top end rig to get decent pics for realstate, I'm not talking hollywood. But having some safety features will be in my wish list for my next bird . Again thanks to all Cheers Alumina |

Labor force participation rate of mothers, 1975-2007
January 08, 2009
From March 1975 to March 2000, the labor force participation rate of mothers with children under age 18 rose from 47 percent to a peak of 73 percent.
By 2004, the rate for these mothers had receded to 71 percent, where it remained through 2007.
In general, mothers with older children (6 to 17 years of age, none younger) are more likely to participate in the labor force than mothers with younger children (under 6 years of age).
These data are from the Current Population Survey and were collected in the March CPS. To find out more, see BLS Report 1011, Women in the Labor Force: A Databook (2008 Edition).

I could not figure out how to add stations that I want to listen to to the listings and I do not want to listen to the stations that were in the list.
It does have a very easy to use interface to use the program and that is good since the actual idea behind the program can be somewhat complicated, but the problem for me was that I could not add stations that I wanted to listen to, (and know that they have an Internet presence), to the listings in the program. If I wanted to listen to a lot of foreign language or foreign country stations, they are there, but that is not what I wanted to use it for, I wanted to listen and more than that, to record some radio shows that I like a lot but don't always have the time to listen to at the time that they are broadcast. I could not get through that process successfully, and I finally just gave it up and unloaded the program.

Using animals in the form of entertainment is usafe and unethical. The animals are abused and neglected; their lives are only full of pain and saddness. This causes them severe psychological disorders that are very detrimental to the well being of the animals as well as to the safety of any and all spectators. The animals are forced to perform even when the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus are fully aware that the diseases they do often carrry can be easily transmitted to humans. Since the 1990's, circus animals have been responisible for over 100 human deaths and injuries. These tragedies happen because of the incredible abuse that the animals face on a daily basis. The animals do not take being beaten and knocked around lightly. Wild animals are not meant to be in close contact with humans. We, the undersigned, are aware of the moral and public safety issues faced with using wild animals. We are asking that they are banned until the animals have been removed from performances.

JoshuaJuly 1997 |
Hey there, it's you-know-who again!!! Nice to be back. This past month has been another fine one...
The Problem With David
David (not his real name) is Mike's (my boyfriend's) thirteen-year-old brother, and I've grown pretty close to him over the past few months. He really is a great kid, very polite and well-mannered (as are all the other family members) so I enjoy being around him, and as I mentioned before, sometimes I'll run errands for Mike's parents when they are too busy to . . . it's no problem.
Lately, however, there's been some changes with David. He's become very quiet around his parents, and he's been wanting to spend a lot of time with me. I have no trouble with that, but what's getting to his parents is that he's started to hug me when I come over, which is on a regular basis. They've made it clear that they accept Mike and I being gay and having sex, but they think that it's not very healthy for David to be around me so much. Where have we heard this before???
I've done a lot of thinking about this, and the conclusion I've come to is that David is either gay or questioning his sexuality, and he's using me to try to figure things out. Now this might sound far-fetched, but there's reason behind my thinking: He was caught experimenting with another slightly younger boy a few months ago during a sleepover and was sent home by the other boy's parents, although they never really told David's folks the real reason; They told them that their son was misbehaving and David was sent home to punish their boy.
David confided this to me. . . he didn't even tell Mike! He's also dropped hints here and there about gay things -- one example that really sticks out is when I was over their house one evening and he asked me if the clothes he was wearing were "faggy"(he was wearing a blue sweater, a white button-down shirt and a pair of khaki pants). I told him "No" and he just dropped the subject. It was so strange!!! Another time he asked me if you could get AIDS by tasting another guy's sperm (he called it another name, but I won't use that here!) and I told him that as far as I knew it was possible, but rather unlikely, and he totally dropped the subject again. Plus, he's asked me about what Mike and I do in bed and I always brush off that topic. I don't think that's something I'd want to discuss with him, nor is it really his concern. But now I wonder if I should talk about it with him. . . this isn't a easy thing for me.
I want to bring it up with Mike, but I just can't seem to say anything to him! And the fact that his parents are concerned about how much time I spend with him isn't a positive thing. . . I'm concerned that they may think I'll take advantage of David. Not in a million years!!!!
I think there is a bit of tension between Mike's parents and me now, but it's kind of subtle. I've noticed that whenever I'm in David's room with him, either his mom and Dad will come in and "check up on us" -- I don't dare even think about closing the door! They also linger around for a while, which gets annoying, because most of the time when I'm in his room we're either playing video games (I suck at them!) or until recently, helping him with his homework.
They're not very happy about us exchanging rings, and while they didn't come right out and say it, Mike's Dad made a very casual comment about how our state would probably never allow gay marriages during our lifetime. I almost said "Idaho does!" but I kept my mouth shut. The whole idea of the rings was to show that we're committed to each other, but maybe I'm being harsh on his parents? Mine thought it was a cool idea, so maybe his will come around soon? I hope so!!!!
Mike is the only person I know who's aware that I'm writing this column, and now I'm having a serious debate about whether or not I should tell David about Oasis? I think it's a great thing, but he's not stupid and he'd probably find the columns I've written and put two and two together. Oh boy! I think I'll wait on that one. . . anybody have any advice on this one??? Please write!!!
Other Things
Over the past month I've been reading the cover story about the tragic suicide of Robbie Kirkland (Cleveland Plain Dealer, Sunday April 6, 1997) over and over, and each time I do it just tears me apart. I may not be the most sentimental guy, but it hurts me knowing that this really cool and intelligent kid killed himself because he couldn't accept something that can't be changed. I didn't even know him and I've teared up while reading the story! I guess it goes to show that someone you don't know can have an impact on your life. What's even more tragic is that there are many more Robbie Kirkland's out there, and they need our help!!!
Part of the reason I write this column is in hope that I may be able to reach someone who is struggling with accepting their gayness, and maybe even give them some hope? Who knows. If I reach even one person, than this is worth it.
Until next time,

Distracted driving is a growing problem in the United States. Here are just a few of the facts surrounding teens and distracted driving:
Traffic fatalities among 16- and 17-year-old drivers jumped by a whopping 19 percent during the first six months of 2012, according to preliminary data compiled by the Governors Highway Safety Administration (GHSA). *
Texting while behind the wheel has overtaken drink driving as the biggest cause of death among teenagers in America.**
Sprint M2M has developed a number of wireless solutions for insurance companies to keep drivers safer and we are one of the first to deliver text disablement as a part of our Sprint UBI (usage based insurance) products.
Sprint believes is the most important reason to use OBD2 technology is because it cuts down on accidents and helps improves driving.
Using one of the solutions developed by Sprint UBI, you can disable texting and driving and keep your teen driver safer. As the mom of two teenagers, I was first in line to get this product.
Easy as...
I can't program my DVR without the help of my teens but installing Sprint's UBI device in my car took less than 60 seconds!
The small wireless "OBD2" device plugs into any car to provide features such as text disablement, vehicle tracking, maintenance alerts, and more to improve driver safety, reduce accidents and save money for insurance companies because the technology helps speed up claim processing and cuts down on insurance fraud.
In September, we are having some moms of teenagers test our new text disablement product from Sprint UBI. You can read more about what moms have to say about Sprint UBI products here:

By Alexander Nixon, Managing Arts Editor
This Friday and Saturday, twenty-seven Master of Fine Arts candidates will open their studios to the public, unveiling creations from their first year of love, labor, and learning here at Brooklyn College. By inviting the public into the artists' inner sanctum, Open Studios organizers hope visitors will engage artists about their creative processes.
For example, visitors to Mitch Patrick's 6th floor art studio in Boylan Hall will be able to see what hi-tech tools transformed his ideas into art. He said, "I'll be exhibiting CNC laser routed illuminated panels, 3-dimensional printed work, as well as videos."
"I've learned how to use these technologies through taking classes, building my own [3D] printer, and learning the software needed to run the machines I'm currently using. For me, challenges arise from change and progression, which is also a driving force. My curiosity is also something that I challenge, so it's important for me to explore these new tools and find out how I can use them to realize my ideas/plans," he said.
According to Professor Jennifer McCoy, who is the faculty coordinator for this year's event, the 2013 MFA spring open house is the first of its kind to be organized by first year MFA candidates. The first-year MFAs will take over the Graduate Art club next year. The open studios event marks their "take-over" as second-year students, when they finalize work for their thesis exhibitions.
McCoy said coordinating back-to-back Open Studios and thesis shows is a challenge for organizers but a blessing for Open Studios visitors, who will be able to glimpse at preparations by second year students for their thesis shows.
"[Open Studios] visitors can watch as these students put the finishing touches on the culmination of their graduate work," he said.
Twenty-seven year-old Chicago native Kate Ostler plans on showing some recent ceramic pieces she has been working on in the ceramics studio in Whitehead Hall.
"It's been a while since I focused on a body of ceramic work," she said. "And the Open Studios will be a nice time for me to show others what I've been doing so far this semester."
"I also enjoy MFA Open Studios because the twenty-seven of us are so seldom available in our studios at the same time— it's nice to know that I can drop in on other artists to view and encourage their work, and it's nice to know that some of them might do the same for me."
"Everything that's in my studio has been made while I've been at BC," Olster said. "Everything shown by MFAs in this Open Studios event should be stuff that the MFA students made during their first year."
Ostler said, "the MFAs have been trying our best to promote the event to the greater Brooklyn College community, as well as other arts organizations, arts-oriented universities, and galleries. We've reached out to the art department, all art majors including the BFA group, and have set up a Facebook page with more information."
Ostler enjoys the event's "inviting atmosphere" and that it gives visitors the opportunity to meet the artists.
"It's great to have a mix of visitors who are not familiar with our work, and other students who may have an idea about what we're focused on. I'm especially interested in seeing the second-year MFA studios, as this is their last Open Studio before their Thesis Show and graduation," she said.
The MFAs open their studios this Friday, March 22 from 4pm to 10pm and Saturday from noon to 6pm.

I'll be getting my permit soon and I wanted to hear some opinions regarding carrying on the left or the right. I know most people have a "strong side" and that is the way they go, but since I'm rather ambidextrous, I'd like to know if any of you have strong feelings either for or against either side, given a choice. Basically, are there any advantages or disadvantages to choosing right over left or vice versa? Here are my considerations:
1. I do most things right handed, so I guess that could be considered my strong side.
2. I am left-eye dominant and find it easier & quicker to come up "on target" left handed.
3. I am just as accurate either right or left handed, assuming a 2-handed grip & carefully aimed shots. (I don't really have any experience shooting either righty or lefty in any type of quick-fire or stressed situation. I intend to take classes to remedy that...)
4. Since I haven't carried before, I have no experience with either. This means I can pick either side without having to break any habits or having any unused, expensive equipment left lying around for whichever side I choose against.
5. Again, since I haven't carried before, I will need to train regularly to become comfortable & confident with either side.
One other related issue to ask about here as well. I plan on carrying a small 1911 as my primary carry weapon (probably IWB or tucked), with a pocket-carry BUG (in a holster). For those of you who carry a BUG, do you carry it on the same side as your primary weapon, or opposite? Why you do so would be interesting to hear as well...
My assumption is that there is a wider range of equipment available for right handers, but do lefties have a problem finding good equipment? Thanks in advance for any & all opinions / insights on this issue!

Carbs Are Essential!
Carbohydrates are absolutely essential to our health. They are an important energy source and should be part of every meal. Carbs are especially crucial for physically active people; if you're trying to get into shape, you don't want to do without a steady supply.
Of course, some carbohydrate choices are healthier than others. Aim to eat complex carbohydrates, typically found in whole-grain breads and cereals and in fruits and vegetables. Try to limit simple sugars, which are often in high quantities in snacks and prepared foods.
And as for those high-fat/low-carb diets: Medical experts stress that eating excess calories -- whether they come from carbs or fat really doesn't really matter -- is what leads to weight gain.

Every week, The Crimson publishes a selection of articles that were printed in our pages in years past.
October 24, 1924: Eliot Predicts Race Suicide in Talk To Harvard Dames
"Is marriage the most important thing in life?" was the question discussed by President Eliot at a meeting of the Harvard Dames held yesterday afternoon at Phillips Brooks House.
"I have asked many young men and women this question", said President Eliot, "and the majority say 'Yes'. But there is a growing number of young women who desire to have an independent life with intellectual and financial freedom. I cannot say that I consider this career better than the career of motherhood."
October 26, 1939: Invading Indian Demands Room in Stoughton
Ughing something about an ancient charter entitling Indians to free lodging in Stoughton Hall, an early arrival from Hanover last night attempted to force his way into the Yardling room of David B. Shaw in Stoughton.
The Indian, who said his name was George Washington Nopokum, had come to Cambridge to "watch my brethren wallop you white men." In violent and rum-inspired terms, the Hanover Brave claimed the right to stay in Stoughton according to the provisions of the gift of the bricks used to build the hall in 1965.
October 25, 1946: Horseless Carriages Back to Spew Flame
Children of necessity, a host of rare vintage automobiles have made their appearance on the Cambridge scene. No addicts of chrome and fluid drive their owners have cars that were built to last, and they know it.
These hardy, car hungry souls, unfazed by wear, have scooped up the cream of the 1929 used car mart and buy their oil with a reckless abandon. Thomas it. Morse '48, who operates from Lowell House, pours a quart of oil into his 1922 model T Ford with each gallon of gasoline and loves every minute of it.
October 22, 1953: First Lady of Quincy
A maid sweeps about the room emptying ashtrays and straightening chairs. The Deans have just left, the Harvard Dames will begin arriving any minute. The man from the museum is coming later with a choice of pictures for the living room. There are notes to answer, calls to make, invitations to accept or postpone.
And if there should be a little time in the evening to relax and look over the children's homework, Mrs. Nathan M. Pusey considers this a slack day. Since her arrival in Cambridge early in the fall each hour has been packed with obligations, either social or domestic. "At this point, our outside interest is people," Mrs. Pusey smiles.
October 23, 1967: Parietal Committee Says 250 Back Co-ed Study-In
Members of an ad hoc student committee working to increase parietal hours claimed last night to have about 250 signatures of students agreeing to take part in a coed "study-in."
James M. Hollomon '69, a spokesman for the Student Committee on Parietals, said last night that in addition to the petition, his organization has been arranging informal talks with Masters, tutors and students, on the general parietal issue.
October 1, 1985: And How Would You Describe the Sackler?
* "It looks like a German torte with all those layers. It looks like it should be eaten but that green fence makes it look unappetizing," said Sophia S. Pao '87.
* "That's a building in mourning," said former mayor and Cambridge City Councilor Alfred E. Vellucci. "Remember the old armbands that immigrant men used to wear when there was a death in the family? The black bands running around the building remind me of Italian funerals."

Comments: Super fast break in, and comfortable and light weight skate. Boots are stiff and
protective. I upgraded from the old Vapor XIV and i never missed a beat with these. Only
baked once and they felt like an old pair of skates already. I strongly recommend this skate
From: Joe
Comments: I was concerned with the break in of a new skate. I know it needs to be done, but
some skates are torturous to get comfy. Well, I am here to say that there is virtually NO
BREAK IN period for these skates. I baked them before the first skate and 4 skates later I have
yet to feel them on my feet. No blisters, no pain, none of the break in garbage. So...if this is
any kind of concern to you before buying, I hope I eased your mind a bit. Being a new skate, I
felt a bit awkward for about 10 minutes and that's it. Feels like I've been skating them for
The skate flies. Super light and responsive. You really feel the ice. Might not be but...I feel
much quicker and lighter on the ice. Two thumbs up!! Enjoy.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:less than 1 day
Pros:very small and low weight. Has 2 submini LED and 3 small LED. $3.19 is a very low price. Looks water tight with silicone gaskets on both ends and silicone transfer pad to internal switch. Some excess plastic to infer with the gasket.
No reflector. Has white colored board in back of LEDs so it doesn't reflect the light outward. Have Al foil or silver color foil will increase light out put. High current draw (78.1 mA with Alk. batteries) for the amount of light. A NR light put out much more light at 54.6 mA but 3 times the price.
For a very low cost bike light is one to try. The other lights are so low cost try them all. Should show internal picture for better view of LEDs arrangement and size. Should have a 2 AA size rear light. AAA are useful for low weight walking light but should use AA for bike light.
