The fastest times for Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya in morning practice bode well for Williams' prospects in qualifying at Magny-Cours this afternoon.
After Fernando Alonso and Rubens Barrichello led the way in the first three-quarter hour session, the Williams drivers hit their stride in the second.
Following yesterday's rain everyone had to start their homework on race preparation and tyre evaluation all over again, with the added complication that the track conditions were improving throughout the two sessions, which meant chasing set-up all morning.
"It's been a useful morning as far as tyre comparisons are concerned and we are very happy with both cars," technical director Patrick Head said. "It will be very tight between the top four teams. We have a little bit of tyre graining but nothing serious, and it looks like Ferrari is quick in the first sector which means that we will have to take care and make sure that they do not pass us in the race."
Ralf Schumacher said he was very happy on his way to the fastest time of 1m 14.966s, while Montoya was happier at the end of the session after dialling out a bottoming problem early on and later understeer. He lapped in 1m 15.577s.
At McLaren David Coulthard had a welcome fillip with third fastest time in 1m 15.600s, while team mate Kimi Raikkonen was fifth on 1m 16.012s. The Scot had one incident when he spun over the new kerbs at the end of the lap, but his MP4-17D was undamaged. "They are a bit higher than they need to be," he said. "Otherwise, the car felt pretty good and it was just a case of finding the best balance we could in the time available."
Michael Schumacher was fourth fastest for Ferrari, in 1m 15.918s, and Rubens Barrichello ninth on the time he set in the first session. "The Bridgestone tyres are better than at the Nurburgring," said technical director Ross Brawn. "It looks like our rivals are fast over one lap but we are more consistent." Interestingly, down at Jordan Gary Anderson was saying just the opposite.
Brawn said that he envisages pole position being very difficult to achieve this afternoon, but is optimistic for Ferrari's race chances.
Renault had an uneventful practice. After setting fastest time in the first session, Alonso ended up sixth overall on 1m 16.039s, with Jarno Trulli 10th on 1m 16.376s "The car has come on well, it's competitive and we are quick in all the sectors," the Italian said. Both drivers said they did all their programmes, and were happy with the balance of their R23s.
Jaguar's expectation of going strongly this weekend was justified by Mark Webber's seventh best time of 1m 16.112s, and Antonio Pizzonia was 11th on 1m 17.036s. They each did a lot of laps, pounding round to evaluate tyre choice for qualifying.
Toyota is quietly optimistic, with Olivier Panis eighth on 1m 16.133s and Cristiano da Matta 13th on his first session 1m 17.118s. At BAR Jenson Button lost an engine at the end of the first session, and had to rely on his time of 1m 17.341s from that for 14th overall, two places behind team-mate Jacques Villeneuve who spun in the first session but recovered to record 1m 17.101s.
Giancarlo Fisichella struggled with the handling of his Jordan for 16th best time, and the Sauber drivers were 15th and 17th, Frentzen and Heidfeld respectively, with Ralph Firman 18th ahead of Minardi pilots Jos Verstappen and Justin Wilson.

Ken Kurson
This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2008) |
Ken Kurson (born October 23, 1968) is a political consultant, journalist, and author who currently serves as editor of The New York Observer. He previously served as executive vice president of Jamestown Associates, a political consulting firm based in Princeton, New Jersey and Washington, DC. PolitickerNJ ranked him as the 71st most influential individual in New Jersey politics on their 2009 Power List.[1]
Work with Rudy Giuliani[edit]
Kurson is co-author with former Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani of Leadership. Published in October 2002, Leadership became an immediate best seller, spending twenty-five weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List, including five at Number One. With over a million copies in print, Leadership garnered wide praise from critics, including glowing reviews in the New York Times ("a confident, dynamic primer on basic business ethics and grace under pressure"), the New York Times Book Review ("sturdy and leavened with flashes of wry wit"), and Business Week ("blustery, unapologetic, and marked by an obvious passion").
From Jan. 1, 2002 – Dec. 31, 2006, Kurson served as the Deputy Director of Communications for Giuliani Partners, the consulting company founded by Rudy Giuliani. Kurson wrote speeches and editorials with Giuliani and traveled with him to a dozen countries and nearly every state. Giuliani's speech to the 2004 Republican National Convention, written with Kurson, was broadcast on national television and earned praise as the standout speech of the convention. Kurson's published work with Giuliani includes editorials in Time, Newsweek, the New York Post, and a full-page editorial about European anti-Semitism in the New York Times that followed a meeting at the State Department with Colin Powell and the American Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. Kurson also collaborated with the former Mayor on his speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention, joined by John Avlon.
Giuliani presidential campaign[edit]
Kurson served as Chief Operating Officer during Rudy Giuliani's unsuccessful 2008 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. Kurson was among the first hires of the Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee, responsible for the Mid-Atlantic Region -- New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. In May 2007, he was promoted to Chief Operating Officer, reporting to Michael DuHaime. He served in this role until Giuliani withdrew from the race on January 30, 2008. In November 2007, during a debate about Jewish issues with surrogates for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Mitt Romney, Kurson said, "if Bill Clinton was 'the first black president,' then the former New York mayor would be the first Jewish president."
Kurson was the founder of greenmagazine.com and Green Magazine,[2] a personal finance site and magazine that was acquired by Bankrate in 1999.[3] The Industry Standard and the New York Times ran substantial profiles of Kurson in 2000. Yahoo! Internet Life named Green to its list of "100 best websites for 2001," featured on its cover.
Doubleday published Kurson's first book, The Green Magazine Guide to Personal Finance in April 1998 as its lead Spring paperback title.[4] It enjoyed positive reviews/mention in Worth, Wired, Playboy, Publishers Weekly, Detroit News, Salon.com and elsewhere.
Kurson was a contributing editor at Esquire, where for five years (1997–2001), his monthly section, "Green," covered the world of investing.[2]
Kurson is the co-author with CNBC television personality David Faber of The Faber Report, published by Little, Brown in 2002.
Kurson is also the co-author of the personal memoir of biotechnology executive John Crowley entitled Chasing Miracles: The Crowley Family Journey of Strength, Hope and Joy. It was published by New Market Press in January 2010 to coincide with the release of Extraordinary Measures, the film dramatizing Crowley's work to find a treatment for his two youngest children who were diagnosed with Pompe Disease.[5]
In January 2013, Kurson was named the editor of The New York Observer by the newspaper's publisher, Jared Kushner.[6]
In June 2014, Kurson received The Algemeiner's Journalist of the Year award.[7]
Musical career[edit]
Ken Kurson graduated from Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook, Illinois in 1986. In high school, he led three-piece punk group Circles, whose tape The Defenestration of Prague earned a rave review from influential punk fanzine Maximumrocknroll, which noted that the song "War Heroes is an instant classic." From 1986 - 1990, Kurson played bass for the legendary Chicago rock band, Green. He is the younger brother of bestselling author Robert Kurson. While playing with Green, Ken wrote a song called "My Sister Jane" about his sister, the former Jane Kurson (now Jane Glover), who is not the same person as the film editor Jane Kurson, who edited Neighbors and Bad Girls. The song appears on Green's third album, White Soul. After leaving Green in 1990, Kurson founded The Lilacs with David Levinsky. Their first EP, The Lilacs Love You, was produced by Material Issue front man Jim Ellison. That release was followed by another 7", The Lilacs Hate You. Their full-length CD The Lilacs Rise Above the Filth was produced by Brad Wood and appeared in January 1992. Kurson lives in South Orange, New Jersey.

Licensees must prove their worth
PUBLISHED: 03 May 2013 06:03:31 | UPDATED: 06 May 2013 03:44:03PUBLISHED: 03 May 2013 PRINT EDITION: 03 May 2013George Caredes from Goodwin Financial Services sought a business career that allowed him to build strong client relationships. Photo: Sasha Woolley
Leng Yeow
Sydney-based financial planner George Caredes, of Goodwin Financial Services, has been with the same licensee since he started his career in the late 1990s.
Soon after graduating from university with a bachelor of mathematics and finance, he joined National Mutual as a paraplanner and went on to head the group's paraplanning unit before starting his own planning business under the group's licensee, Charter Financial Planning.
He was there when National Mutual demutualised and was acquired by French insurance giant, AXA, and has remained with the Charter group following its 2011 acquisition by AMP.
In 2003, Caredes merged his business with Goodwin Financial Services, run by principal, David Goodwin, and together the firm's four partners have built a highly profitable practice with around $500 million in funds under advice.
Caredes says the AMP/AXA merger provides financial planners and their clients with the "best of both worlds" in terms of products and solutions.
Advisers from the AXA side now have access to AMP's corporate and business superannuation solutions while AMP has the platform it desperately needed and desired.
However, Caredes says it has never been more important for licensees to evolve and improve their value proposition to advisers to ensure that their planners are receiving true business value from the relationship.
"A decade ago, financial planners were dependant on their licensee for front-end software, managed funds research, marketing and other support services but these days there is less reliance on licensees to provide these services," he says.
Instead, successful financial planners have discovered that business growth and profitability is driven by quality staff and business practices. Caredes says licensees can assist with both around the edges, but ultimately the business tools that licensees traditionally provided are now more easily and directly accessible, especially for larger operations.
For example, Goodwin Financial Services licenses XPLAN's financial planning software directly rather than accessing it via Charter. The practice switched to XPLAN a year ahead of the broader AXA network, which was still using VisiPlan.
"Licensees provide value for sole practitioners and smaller operations who do not have economies of scale, but they are struggling to demonstrate their value for larger practices," Caredes says.
"If licensees wish to retain larger practices and keep them happy, then they need to ensure they are delivering the necessary service and guidance to justify the dealer fee being charged. It cannot simply be about fund flow and revenue targets."
In the same way the Future of Financial Advice reforms are forcing financial planners to know and articulate their value proposition, Caredes says licensees must also demonstrate their worth and find new ways of generating revenue.
He identifies the exponential growth of the self-managed superannuation fund sector as a real challenge facing product manufacturers that also own licensees, because the nature of fund flow has changed due to direct portfolio holdings. It is difficult for those institutions to make margin on administration only.
"Manufacturers are struggling because self-managed funds are accessing investments directly, rather than utilising platform solutions, which is where the margin was traditionally made," Caredes says.
As one of Charter's top 10 practices by revenue, Goodwin Financial Services is committed to maintaining its position by providing quality advice.
The business's slogan is: Clear Transparent Advice. To ensure continuing improvement, the practice regularly undertakes internal reviews specifically targeting client feedback on how it is performing against its peers.
Caredes had the perfect start to a career in financial planning.
As the head of National Mutual's paraplanning unit, he met every financial planning practice in the network, assisted them with their systems and processes, and prepared them for life under the Financial Services Reform Act, which was introduced in 2002 and phased in over a two-year period.
He assisted in the development of a planning tool called "Draft" which many of the group's advisers still utilise today.
Caredes used his intimate knowledge of the AXA network to identify the best practices and determine the type of business that he wanted to build when he set up his own practice.
He identified Goodwin and another adviser, Brian Beazley, as being the ideal fit for him.
He acquired half of Beazley's business and went on to buy the remainder when Beazley retired. He then merged the business with Goodwin Financial Services, which had two active advisers at the time.
Today the business employs six financial planners including four partners: David Goodwin, Michael Gulli, Greg Mifsud and Caredes himself. The group has strong and varying levels of expertise across all market segments.
"I always knew I wanted to run my own business but I didn't know it would be in financial planning," Caredes says.
"I wanted a role where I had a high degree of control and autonomy, which allowed me to build strong client relationships."
Goodwin Financial Services now has more than 1000 active clients, and continues to identify clients who require top-quality advice and a long-term relationship to help them achieve specific goals.
The practice uses a number of platforms including North, MLC Wrap and Colonial FirstChoice.
Caredes and Mifsud established the group's self-managed superannuation unit, which provides investment advice, compliance, administration and accounting services to 90 self-managed funds. Self-managed funds now represent approximately 20 per cent of the practice's total revenue.
"Like many in the industry, self-managed superannuation has been a growth area for our business but it's a major change from the traditional platform approach," Caredes says. "Clients with greater wealth want more control and transparency, which we feel we provide. SMSF should only be considered where assets exceed $500,000."
Goodwin Financial Services was established in 1977 and focused mainly on the corporate superannuation market, group life and risk market. It has evolved over the years to offer a holistic range of services to its clients.
Caredes says the changes to licensing under the Financial Services Reform Act were necessary, but argues that the government appears to have gone too far with the Future of Financial Advice reforms.
"The financial planning industry is unique – it delivers advice often via product and strategy solutions and as a result is difficult to legislate. Indeed it is impossible to legislate against people doing the wrong thing," he says.
Compliance is necessary, Caredes acknowledges, but he argues that it should not be overbearing. Too much red tape can add costs, which must be borne by the end consumer.
In the end, it's Caredes's view that good planning will continue to thrive in an environment where there is a strong, open and honest client-adviser relationship.

Patt is the voice of WIDR: World Internet Dance Radio. Located at www.widr.com, the site offers five different prerecorded music shows, each mixed by a different DJ. For the "Daily Show," Patt chooses a sampling of commercial and underground dance music that's updated six days a week. (Patt rests on Sunday.) The other channels, updated weekly, are the "House Mix," the "Alternamix," and a "Feature Mix" by a guest DJ. They vary from 40 to 120 minutes each, and past mixes are archived on the site. On any given day, WIDR has twelve or thirteen hours of music to choose from.
Visitors to the site can click on a channel and listen to the audio track while continuing to use their computers for other tasks. In that sense it's much like traditional radio, which listeners can put on in the background at work or at home. The difference is that WIDR's "signal" isn't limited to a city or two.
"It's cool," says Patt, "to know that, daily, I'm sitting here in this house broadcasting worldwide."
Patt's suburban home, in a quiet section of Lauderhill, has served as WIDR's studio and business office since it began in October 1996. In a corner of the living room stand two CD-players holding a total of 300 discs, a CD-burner, a double-deck cassette player, a large mixing board, a Pentium 233 MMX with a seven-gigabyte hard drive, a 56-kilobyte modem, and a cable connection to the Internet. In the wee hours of each weekday morning, Patt can be found sitting before his microphone, mixing CD tracks with a software program, puffing on a menthol cigarette, and sipping a cup of coffee from the eternally brewing pot in the kitchen. From these humble surroundings, Patt reaches as many as 30,000 people each month in all corners of the globe.
"I get 30 to 40 comments per day," says Patt. Those are e-mail comments, of course. Patt does almost all of his communication via e-mail. He has never met the fellow who designed the WIDR site, or the DJs who do the feature mixes (from London, New York, Canada, and elsewhere), or the people who created promo spots and station IDs for him. But he knows he's connecting with his listeners. "A lot of times, people tell me they're in these areas where there are no record stores for 100 miles," he notes, "or they say there are no stores with good dance-music selections."
WIDR's large and far-reaching audience is bigger than the circulation of some national magazines. Yet Patt finds it difficult to attract advertisers to his site. "Granted," he says, "15,000 to 30,000 people a month seems like a lot. But it's not when you compare that to Yahoo!, which gets like three million a week." With that level of traffic, Yahoo! can afford to charge thousands of dollars for ad space. For Patt, advertising accounts come in only occasionally, bringing perhaps a couple hundred dollars in revenue each month.
Netmix, an Internet radio station based in New York City, claims to receive one million hits per month. But even that kind of traffic isn't enough to draw the big accounts, according to Netmix's founder, Tony Zeoli. "It's always nice to get a check for a hundred here or two hundred there," Zeoli says from his office in Manhattan. "It helps pay a bill, like the phone bill or the ISP [Internet Service Provider] bill."
WIDR and Netmix are basically shoestring operations. Zeoli works days for Simon and Schuster's Website; Patt delivers flowers. Netmix, located in a city where much of the music industry is based, charges record labels for promoting their albums on the site; Patt is just thankful that record labels send him albums for free. Neither of their sites makes much of a profit.
"But I'm building this up in the hopes that someday it will pay off," says Patt. "And I think it will."
At the moment, WIDR functions somewhat like a pirate radio station. Not in terms of legality -- Patt pays all licensing fees and guards against illegal downloading -- but in terms of programming. Unlike the helpless DJs of today's rigidly formatted FM stations, Patt can pick his own tracks and put them in whatever order he likes. If he wants to take a chance on a brand-new single or an unknown artist, he can do it. "If you were a new artist and you have a CD, you'd be stupid not to give your music to me," says Patt. "I don't charge, and you get worldwide exposure."
In January 1997 Roy Kamen created MRK Records in Manhattan in order to release singles by his wife, a dance-pop singer named Marina. An audio engineer by trade, Kamen knew nothing about the business side of the record industry, and he went to the Internet to learn. "What occurred over the next few months was me getting linked to all these dance sites," says Kamen. "And then I got in touch with Bryon at WIDR, and he started playing Marina almost daily. And I would e-mail everyone his [Web address] when he covered her. And from the Internet, we ended up getting coverage from the traditional media. Street Sound magazine picked us up, then Dance Music Authority, and then Billboard."

(Welcome back.)
There are many doors in a city like ours, some of them leading to surprising places. We are unlikely to be invited behind as many of them as we might wish.
But there are other ways, as in this anthology of video works that is the fifth piece in "EyeShow," an Independent series of commissioned works by local artists to create an ongoing "virtual gallery."
Alice's Wonderland was not without its dangers, but her character is a reminder that a lively sense of curiosity is always the best protection in such cases. It is that sense that the artist invites us to here in her description of this piece:
"The portal site is a project that began with a drawing of a local New Haven house on Sherman Avenue, where many artists have lived in the past. The site reflects a desire to create a context for my video works, one which involves locations both inside and outside the artist's studio. My aspiration is to create a ongoing handmade web experience that leads viewers through non-linear narratives.
– Laura Marsh"

The Salem Area Historical Society was founded in 1975 in preparation for the Nations Bicentenial. The first meeting was August 13 where a few Salemites fearing the stories and history of the area would soon be lost set to work collecting the stories of pioneer and present families, sites, and images .Their efforts produced a one hundred sixteen page History of Salem Township. Published in 1976 for the Bicentenial celebration it went along with an extensive display in a History house decorated with furniture, pictures, records and items of days long ago. In 1978 deed was given to the SAHS to the Salem (Jarvis) South Stone School. Many in the group had attended this school in their earlier years. In poor repair from neglect and only owning the small bit of land it set on the group made plans to acquire more land and restore the building to its as remembered state. Now restored and with deed to a large lot we use it for our meeting and also occasionally as a real school. In 2005 one of the former students, Billy Kruse, donated the funds to build a representation of the wood shed that was at the site during his school days . In 1998 the SAHS was approached by a business owner wanting to know if we would like to have an old barn that was on his property. Discovering it was built by one of Salem's earliest residents and perhaps one of the oldest barns in Washtenaw County plans to move it started. Evaluation showed the structure sound but cost to move beyond our limited means.By the fall off 1999 the owner wanted it gone and if we could not take it would be knocked down. Faced with that ultimatum a decision to take it down piece by piece and save it that way. A work force of all volunteer help (500 hours worth) in three weekends totally dismantaled the entire barn and removed it to storage. After a survey and proper foundation put in on our schoolhouse lot we hired a contractor, who reassembled the barn in 2007. After the barn is completed we can display representations of the early farm history of the area.

Published: January 9, 2014
Many professional athletes – more specifically, baseball players – continuously hear criticism when their production increases as they enter their mid-to-late 30s. The so-called 'experts' writing columns in the sports section of the various newspapers all around the country begin dropping hints that something may be amiss and the dreaded 'performance-enhancing drugs' term is thrown around loosely.
But the odd thing is that if these players (and journalists, too, for that matter) went to the doctor and had a blood test, the likelihood that their testosterone levels would have been low and they would be candidates for Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
Before you ask what that is, pay attention to the commercials the next time a sporting event is on television. "Is it Low T?" is not a reference to talent or tenaciousness, but rather your body's natural testosterone levels. Even the best of us age and there are certain things that come with that. One of them for men is that their bodies produce less and less testosterone as the birthday candles start to crowd the cake – usually between 35 and 40.
Your doctor can prescribe testosterone and it can be administered in a number of ways, the most common methods being injections or topical gel (AndroGel is one of the most popular brands). There are plusses and minuses associated with both, so this is where personal preference and doctor's opinions come into play.
The injections are more potent, so either weekly or bi-weekly shots are the norm. Before you start to cringe, the needle goes into your butt cheek (even the most squeamish can handle that). The gel is applied to a body part (usually the upper body) once a day, but you have to be careful that it doesn't rub off on anyone else in your household.
Popular belief is that Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens began using PEDs in their mid-to-late 30s or 40s – the same demographic that the medicine industry is making millions on and is covered by insurance.

Aims of this cross-sectional study were to assess health status and care dependency in patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or chronic heart failure (CHF) and to identify correlates of an impaired health status.
The following outcomes were assessed in outpatients with advanced COPD (n = 105) or CHF (n = 80): clinical characteristics; general health status (EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D); Assessment of Quality of Life instrument (AQoL); Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)); disease-specific health status (St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ)); physical mobility (timed 'Up and Go' test); and care dependency (Care Dependency Scale).
Patients with advanced COPD or CHF have an impaired health status and may be confronted with care dependency. Multiple regression analyses have shown that physical and psychological symptoms, care dependency and number of drugs were correlated with impaired health status in advanced COPD or CHF, while demographic and clinical characteristics like age, gender, disease severity and co-morbidities were not correlated.
Clinical care should regularly assess symptom burden and care dependency to identify patients with advanced COPD or CHF at risk for an impaired health status.

Dramatiques, the Parker School theater group, will present its production of "In the Heights," a four-time Tony Award-winning play which "tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York's Washington Heights neighborhood," April 26 through May 5, playing Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. at the historic Parker School Theatre in Waimea.
There will be no show Friday, May 3. Tickets are $10 for general admission and $5 for students and will be available at the door. Or, call 885-7933, ext. 7128, or email email@example.com to purchase tickets in advance. For more information please visit www.parkerschool.net.
The community in the play is described as "a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It's a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind."
The play is directed by Parker School drama and dance teacher Angela Alforque and presented through special arrangement with R & H Theatricals.
It will feature plenty of lively Latin-flavored singing and dancing.
Alforque said, "One of my favorite aspects about directing this production is having the opportunity to teach our students about the social and cultural aspects that inform the musical. African-Caribbean dance cultures, in particular, are close to my heart, as well as the history of immigrant families here in the U.S.; these are important inspirations for the show. With In the Heights, we're bringing a New York City neighborhood to Parker School and featuring urban Latino-American culture through music, dance, storytelling, and various styles of street art. I wanted the students to feel the dance and music from the inside out and I think we've achieved that to a great extent. It's been really special to me to see the students discover the connections between their own life stories and what is happening in the play."
There are several lead roles in the play.

"I am proud of and grateful for the student leadership in this production," Alforque said. "We could not have done a musical of this scale and difficulty if not for their extraordinary talent and willingness to step up to the challenge of such a difficult show."
: our musical director, assistant director, four choreographers, costume designer, lighting and sound supervisors, and stage managers all are upper school students. They mentor their peers and our middle school students, so that as older students graduate, others are able to follow in their footsteps. My predecessor, Maren Oom, put this structure in place and these artist-leaders have gone above and beyond their duties, putting their time and energy and heart into everything they do.

Fab 1960s-1970s sconce pair! Fanned leaf design, stylized acanthus buds with bloom spikes. Hand-applied gilding, velvet candle sleeves in color choice. Rewire included.
Fanned, stylized leaves reminiscent of cattail leaves form the basic design of these wonderful vintage modern sconces. Leaf fans are topped by acanthus leaf pods with unusual stylized bloom spikes. Hand-applied gilding is faux-distressed for a wonderful, textural effect.
Manufactured by Peerless Electric Merchandising Co, labels are still intact. These great sconces were found with only three of their original red velvet candle covers which, alas, were in very poor condition. I have held on to these beauties for quite some time as I waited patiently for just the right candle covers to come along. Patience really is a virtue! I am delighted to offer the new owners of these sconces your choice of peacock blue or 1970s green velvet candle covers, new vintage stock sourced from Spain! If you prefer something more subtle, just let me know.
LOVE the lamp but don't live in the Dallas area? No problem! I am happy to ship worldwide following online payment via PayPal.
My Vintage Modern Gilded Acanthus Sconce Pair is looking for a new home to illuminate. Might it yours?
As always, thanks for stopping by!
Very good – excellent structural and surface condition.
Rear of sconces bear some pale blue paint, as though once hung on before paint was dry.
Wiring is old and has been clipped short. Rewire necessary – included in purchase price.
Sconces will be rewired for hard wire installation by an electrician onto your wall.
Lamp: 26.5 in High x 12 in Wide x 4.5 in Deep

Jury Convicts 2 In Mortgage Scam

Posted to: Legal Writes
A former corrections officer and an aggressive loan officer now face decades in federal prison, after a man who orchestrated a poverty real-estate scam helped the government convict his alleged accomplices.
A federal jury on Friday found mortgage officer Andrew Constantinou (at left) and Jacques Kelley, a late-night infomercial-watching former Westchester corrections officer (pictured above) who dreamed of getting rich quick in real estate, guilty of their roles as mid-level players in a mortgage fraud scheme in struggling New Haven neighborhoods.
Following a three-week trial before Chief U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in New Haven, a jury found both men guilty of conspiracy to commit mail, wire, and bank fraud. The jury also found Kelly guilty of one count of wire fraud and one count of making a false statement to a financial institution, according to Matthew Reilly, spokesman for the New Jersey U.S. Attorney's Office, which has been overseeing the case because of the recusal of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut.
The case hinged on the testimony of star witness Joseph Menachem "Yossi" Levitin (pictured), who has pleaded guilty to pocketing up to $1 million in the scam. Levitin took the stand, hoping to cut his time behind bars from 30 years to zero by helping the government's case.
Constantinou now faces up to 30 years in prison at his sentencing, which is set for July 15. Kelly faces up to 80 years in prison at his sentencing, which is set for July 14. Both men are now free on bond.
Levitin is also awaiting sentencing; it remains to be seen whether his testimony will spare him from the slammer.

Brown adds to United injury list
Wes Brown's suspected broken metatarsal has added to Manchester United's injury woes ahead of AC Milan's visit in Champions League on Wednesday. Brown picked up the injury against Wolves on Saturday and there are concerns that the England defender may have broken his fifth metatarsal, the one that takes the longest to heal. Although Brown should have recovered in time for the World Cup, the timing is bad for Sir Alex Ferguson with Wayne Rooney doubtful for the Milan game after hurting his knee on England duty last week and Michael Owen out for the season. Anderson (knee), Ryan Giggs (arm) and John O'Shea (leg) are also out while Jonny Evans missed the Wolves game. Ferguson has already confirmed Dimitar Berbatov is likely to start against Milan, saying: "Rooney is very doubtful for the Milan game unfortunately. It's one of these bad bits of luck you get - the Wembley pitch has just killed him. "I was pleased with how Berbatov did against Wolves though and I'll probably start with him on Wednesday." United have yet to overcome Milan in the Champions League with the Italians always emerging as victors from the two-legged ties, most recently in 2007 when having lost 3-2 in the first leg at Old Trafford, they won 3-0 in the San Siro. United again have a 3-2 advantage but this time with the away goals counting in their favour, and keeper Edwin van der Sar has warned that they cannot afford to make any mistakes this time. He told http://www.betfred.com: "It's not a case of owing Milan one, but we will want to make sure we don't make the same mistakes we did a few years ago when they knocked us out at the semi-final stage. "They played particularly well in the home leg here when we won 3-2 and Kaka scored two goals. Then at the San Siro, Clarence Seedorf was fantastic - he was excellent in both games actually. But we got a good result in Milan and now we need to finish it off with a magic night at Old Trafford." Meanwhile, AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato has been included in Leonardo's 22-man squad for Wednesday's game. The Brazil international missed Saturday's goalless draw at Roma having sustained a hamstring strain the previous weekend. Pato will travel to England but whether the South American striker will be fit to play remains to be seen. Pato has been in superb form for Milan this season, scoring 12 goals in Serie A and two in the Champions League. How do you see Wednesday's game going? Have your say.

While browsing through my image search results on PIXSY (a new service that finds and invoices image theft for you), I was surprised to see my picture for sale on Etsy (above). My immediate reaction:
- What an ugly mousepad. I'd never print my photo like this.
- The seller seems to be stealing thousands of photos. How could Etsy let this happen?
- Who had the nerve to think they could do this?
So my picture was the party and I wasn't invited. I decided to see what I could do to notify the seller and contact Etsy about the problem. Read more…

The sudden passing of
Tooker Gomberg leaves
us all saddened and contemplative.
One of Canada's most daring and
courageous political figures, Tooker
was a friend, co-conspirator and
guiding light to so many of us.
A selfless trailblazer, Tooker's
absence will be felt in the
environmental, labour,
social justice, human rights,
arts, and music communities
in Canada and around the world.
We invite you to join in reflection,
mourning and celebration of such an
exemplary writer, activist, politician,
videographer, public speaker and
advocate for a better world.
I took a bike ride yesterday and saw a funny world at play
I saw new bike lanes on a street, saw people and slowed down to greet
Green boxes next to blue and grey, posters for a car-free-day
Saw families without a trace of fear enjoying public space
Pedal power in full sway - I saw things in a different way
Le Monde à bicyclette. Le monde à bicyclette.
Tooker Gomberg never shied away from what had not been tried
With faithful friends there at his side he showed us we could turn the
On Adam's Mine and Kyoto, and not go the way of the Dodo
Burnin' passport declarations, buried car commemorations
Robin Hood through town he'd glide, inviting us along to ride
Le Monde à bicyclette. Le monde à bicyclette.
When the King of Furniture decreed his actions immature
Tooker took aim at his crown and threw the people's gauntlet down
Which some folks called buffoonery - how accurate they proved to be!
For like the clowns of vielle Paris, his stock-in-trade was honesty
Sparking fires mirthfully to melt the ice of apathy
Le Monde à bicyclette. Le monde à bicyclette.
Sometimes statistics only bore 'em, so he perforated dull decorum
Energized the public forum - what else can one do but adore him?
Ask yourself and a make a list and for a spell unclench your fist
For laughter is an activist, look up now see through the mist
Conviction like a lightning flash, dispensed with humour and panache
Le Monde à bicyclette. Le monde à bicyclette.
I only saw him a couple o' times in person where the tower chimes
Raging at the climate crimes, with horns a honkin', words in rhyme
Or juggling by a tent for peace in frozen winter without cease
We wish for him eternal laughter, peace of mind in the hereafter
Inspirin' him as he does we and may we all forever see
Le Monde à bicyclette. Le monde à bicyclette.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU's Will Sutton returning for senior season
Will Sutton, the reigning Pat Tillman Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, announced he will return to Arizona State for his senior season, eschewing the the popular thinking that he'd leave early for the NFL draft.
"It's been a long decision, it's been a hard decision, but my decision is that I'm going to stay and play another year at ASU," Sutton said Tuesday amid thunderous applause at his press conference.
Sutton, a junior from Centennial High School in Corona, California, had a dominant season in which he earned consensus All-American honors, becoming the 18th player in ASU history to do so.
Sutton was unblockable throughout most of the season, finishing with 63 tackles, 23.5 for loss and 13 sacks. He capped off his campaign by wreaking havoc in Navy's backfield during ASU's decisive 62-28 win at the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco December 29. Sutton finished with 3.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and took home the game's Most Outstanding Defensive Player award.
The junior didn't pinpoint just one factor that helped him arrive at his decision.
"It was a lot of things, there was a lot of pros and cons, but some of the main the things were coming back, winning a championship, doing it for my teammates and getting my education," Sutton said.
Getting Sutton back in 2013 is a huge coup for Arizona State head coach Todd Graham. In fact, Sutton's return, along with fellow defensive playmakers Carl Bradford, Chris Young and Osahon Irabor could have the Sun Devils at or near the top of the Pac-12 South in most projections.
"He's the best defensive lineman I've ever coached and one of the best defensive players I've ever coached," Graham said. "I think it speaks volumes about his commitment to our team. I do think his teammates had a lot to do with that decision."
With the decision to return now behind him, Sutton was asked "what's next?"
"I've got class at six o'clock," he joked.

Tor users are advised to not use Windows
Posted By Joe On August 7, 2013 @ 1:10 PM In Windows,World Wide Web | 6 Comments
Tor is a tool that protects your identity while browsing the internet. While it is known as the 'Darknet' by some due to how it can be used to distribute pornographic and child abuse images, the main purpose of this project is to give people freedom of speech without having to identify themselves – particularly those in politically unstable countries. And Tor is used by many people around the world to anonymously surf the web.
Now, however, it is being reported that malware is specifically targeting Tor users.
On Sunday, Tor reported that there was a malware attack "which was carried out by exploiting a vulnerability in some versions of Mozilla Firefox":
"The vulnerability allowed a malicious piece of JavaScript code to be injected into Freedom Hosting's servers, and start feeding information back to a remote webserver. The perpetrators of the attack are not known."
(Freedom Hosting is a company that has specialized services to host/run Tor.)
The attack that took advantage of "vulnerability in the Windows version of the Firefox Extended Support Release 17 browser" which was used in Tor Bundle Brower (TBB). Although this vulnerability "had been patched by Firefox" back in June, TBB version of Firefox doesn't support automatic updates so users with old versions may not have been protected if they hadn't upgraded manually.
This time only Windows users were affected, but this doesn't mean that Linux and Mac OS X users couldn't be targeted in the future.
Because of this new malware, Windows users are being strongly recommended by Tor and security experts to switch to either Linux or Mac OS X:
"Really, switching away from Windows is probably a good security move for many reasons."
For those who want to remain on Windows, you should update Firefox, switch off JavaScript, and upgrade Tor to the latest version but be were warned that certain websites may not be accessible due to lack of JavaScript.
It is believed that the creator of the malware may have been the FBI or "a law enforcement agency" in the U.S. [2] because the malware does nothing but collect user data including hostname and MAC address of victims' computer, and it also coincides with the owner of Freedom Hosting, Eric Eoin Marques, getting arrested for being the largest distributor of child pornography. According to the Irish Independent, he is currently being held by the Irish authorities and is waiting to be pending to be extradited to the U.S.

Hi and welcome to the Department of Science Education. We have just moved into the new Hall of Science Building and are so excited about our new space! We hope that this website provides you with information and answers to your questions regarding our program. If we can be of assistance, please give us a call at 562/985-4801.
The Science Education Department at CSULB is one of the largest Science Education Departments in the country. Housed in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, we work closely with our CNSM colleagues and our College of Education colleagues in addition to collaborating with each other. Faculty members often work together on grants & projects, articles and other scholarly activities.
The Department teaches courses to Liberal Studies majors as well as elementary and secondary science credential students. We teach over 800 students per year in our Science Capstone and Science Methods courses. Additionally, we also offer a Professional Development/Teaching Techniques course to science graduate student teaching associates to support excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level. Our graduate program, a MS in Science Education has pathways and options for practicing elementary teachers and secondary teachers and informal science educators. Applications for the Master's Program are accepted each spring.
Our research spans from early childhood to post-secondary science settings and touches on themes including assessment, science-based integrated teaching, inquiry-based teaching and learning, science learning environments, the impact of teacher beliefs on the teaching of science, alternate and misconceptions in science learning, technology-enhanced science teaching, science learning in informal settings, role of caring in teaching and learning science, using literature circles to support nature of science learning, and post-secondary science reform in physics and earth science.
Additionally, the Science Education Department is also host to several large educational projects. We house the National Center for Early Childhood Science Education and in that capacity we offer yearly summer institutes to train early childhood teachers and early childhood leaders in the teaching of science to young children. These summer institutes are led by Dr. William C. Ritz and are offered through the Head Start on Science Program. We have a newly funded California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC) grant to support the science professional development of K-2 teachers. Susan Gomez Zwiep and Bill Straits are coordinating that project. Jim Kisiel has grants to support his work with science learning in informal settings (zoos, aquariums, museums). Laura Henriques is Principal Investigator on several NSF-funded projects which support future teachers, partnering with other CSU campuses, Cerritos College, Long Beach Unified and Whittier Union High School Districts, striving to support of quality teacher preparation and professional development in PreK-postsecondary science teaching and learning in the greater Long Beach area. Other projects in which we are actively participating can be viewed on our Grants and Projects page.

American eager to get back to work after tough opener
Toro Rosso driver Scott Speeds first race weekend of the 2007 Formula One season started and ended with a bang. His time at Melbournes Albert Park circuit began with some light-hearted celebrity fun, but ended in rather more deflating fashion.
After giving rock stars Tommy Lee (of Motley Crue) and Lukas Rossi (winner of the TV show Rock Star: Supernova) a ride around the track in a Ferrari sports car, Speed and his Toro Rosso mechanics got down to work preparing for the Australian Grand Prix, though because the Ferrari-powered STR2 had such a late debut, the team are still playing catch-up.
As expected, we are quite far behind at the moment as we learn about a lot of things that we should have done in testing, Speed said after posting the19th-fastest time in the opening practice sessions on Friday.
Lots of stuff on the car is brand new for today, and so inevitably some of it didnt work. The one positive element is that it is clear that we will be able to develop this package through the season and can do something with it.
Its going to be a tough time until we get some more testing under our belt, as we seem to be quite a way off the pace, unless some of those ahead of us were on low fuel loads.
On Saturday, Speed qualified 18th, two spots ahead of his team mate, Tonio Liuzzi. The car was no better than yesterday because we are not going to be able to improve this car until we get some testing behind us, Speed said.
We are throwing darts in the dark, and on top of that my qualifying was completely (ruined) by traffic, when as I came past the pits there were three cars coming out the pits in front of me going into Turn 1. Also on my last lap, there was some dirt on the track, and I had a moment at Turn 14. Tomorrow if I can keep the car within the white lines, I will be happy.
It didnt quite work out that way. On race day, Speed stayed on track until lap 29 of the 58-lap event, when factors beyond his control took charge of his fate.
"I had two flat front tyres after the pit stop, he said. It was a mechanical problem with something in the valve stems. I started losing air pressure in the front, and immediately after the pit stop I started having massive understeer.
Going into the fastest corner on the track, the outside front tire exploded, and I went straight off the track. Luckily there was gravel in front of me instead of a wall!
And so a blown tyre ended the first Grand Prix of the season for the USAs sole Formula One representative. Californian Speed now plans to spend a week in Australia before heading to Malaysia for the forthcoming multi-team test at Sepang, followed by the Malaysian Grand Prix on April 8.
