Stefan Goldmann - The Transitory State/Voices Of The Dead
Fri 21st Nov, 2008 Music Reviews
inStefan Goldmann is a leading light in German house and techno music and a favourite producer of many a renowned international DJ. This is for a number of reasons – Goldmann is a man as likely to mix a Kerri Chandler track with one from Jake Fairley as he is to sit and get lost in classic drum and bass and Plastikman records. He has almost unrivaled attention to detail which sacrifices not the slightest shred of dance floor appeal in an effort to make an interesting listening experience.
The Transitory State is actually a double CD package the second of which is titled Voices Of The Dead. The Transitory State is comprised entirely of previous Goldmann releases on Perlon, Innervisions and his own Macro Recordings (on which this album is released). On the other hand, with the exception of Turret – which formed part of the intro to Richie Hawtin's groundbreaking DE9: Transitions compilation – Voices Of The Dead is entirely unreleased and… terrifying.
Simply put, it makes most horror film soundtracks seem utterly redundant and the electroacoustic project draws on many interesting textures and settings. It will be much too esoteric for the likes of some but deserves a good bottle of plonk and a rainy day to be properly appreciated. Turret still stands tall amongst the tracks on this album but the bleak and brooding Slit Trench definitely trumps it in the fear factor stakes. On the other hand, the epic twelve and three quarter minute Izo more comprehensively captures the album's prevalent ideas – an impending doom prophesied by cold machines bleeping their harsh premonitions.
If that all sounds a bit too much well you still have The Transitory State to keep you entertained and with classics like _Radiant Grace, Lunatic Fringe, Blood and Sleepy Hollow providing the muscle there's not much to complain about!

(KMOV) – A girl claiming to be a college cheerleader raising funds for a children's hospital is accused of scamming a local woman out of money.
Police say the girl who came through an Edwardsville neighborhood to collect cash told people that half the money they donated would pay for her cheerleading competition in Florida, and that the other half would go to local hospitals.
However, according officials at Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville, the cheerleaders are not going to Florida, the squad is not collecting money, and the girl asking for money is not even a member of the team.
Sandrarae Hyatt was one of the victims scammed, and says the girl's story tugged at her heart. "When she said that, I thought about my own daughter who had cancer, and that kind of won me over to go ahead and write a check," Hyatt says.
But when Hyatt learned it was all a scam, she was extremely upset. "It was just a terrible thing to do. When you think about the children who have cancer and the things that they go through, it was pretty low," says Hyatt.
Police say the girl's smooth-talking story was part of a racket with Midwest Circulation, a Missouri company with an F rating from the Better Business Bureau.

I've always been one of those people that's curious about juicing. I also think it'll be a great way to continue with my diet.
Check to back to see my progress for the next three days and enter the giveaway below to win a 3 Day Cooler Cleanse for yourself.
Day 1: Eating the Cooler Way
Cooler cleanse recommends that you eat the "Cooler Way" for three days before your cleanse, but insists you at least do one. I chose to do one, and started yesterday. Yesterday I ate salads, yucca, and for full disclosure, had a cocktail or two. (They don't recommend the cocktails) I know I'm used to eating vegetarian, but for some reason didn't get around to cooking anything I really wanted to eat yesterday, so I went to bed pretty hungry.
Day 2: First Cleanse Day
I woke up around 7 this morning and had two glasses of water with lemon, as Cooler Cleanse recommends. I read the New York Times and answered emails while I waited for the FedEx package to arrive. Cooler Cleanse ships over night, and you start your cleanse as soon as you get it. Mine came around 11am, so I was pretty hungry at that point. I started out with the Sweet Green. It sort of tasted like bananas, and I really don't like bananas so I was put off... once I read the ingredients and saw that there were none, I talked myself into thinking that flavor was the apple and spinach. Overall, it was ok. Right now I'm drinking the watermelon & lime. It's really good. It'd be even better with a little tequila. I'm not feeling tired or hungry, and the juices are pretty filling. So far, so good.
*It's 2:30 and I'm waiting until my next juice @3:00. I have a slight headache. I'm not sure if I'm hungry or if I just want french fries. I've been wanting french fries for days.
*5:30 I cheated and had a little bit to eat. My headache was too intense and I wasn't prepared to take a tylenol without something in my stomach. I don't feel worse, but my headache has dissipated, and for that I'm grateful. I also just had the Young Coconut Water. I'm really surprise now nutty it is. I like it. I haven't had a problem with any of the three other juices I've drank so far today.
*11:00pm I'm having cravings for the most ridiculous foods. Like Chic-fil-A, I haven't had that since College. Day 2 ended fine. I'm not hungry at all, but I miss the satisfaction that I get from eating. There's no 'Wow- this is really good!' when you're drinking juice.
Day 3:
I woke up not really hungry still, and I braved the scale and I'm down two full pounds. That's motivation enough to keep going for me. Two things- I did not sleep well at all last night, and my face is breaking out.
*1:30 I've been doing my typical weekend cleaning, dusting, laundry, vacuuming, dishes- nothing crazy, and have noticed that I'm sweating a lot. Nothing I'm doing should warrant sweating- it is really humid in Chicagoland today, so that could be playing a role. I'm also feeling very present. If you've read any of Eckhart Tolle's books you'll know how he talks about living in the now. That's exactly what it feels like. Still not hungry. I've had two juices so far today, I'll be drinking my third in a half hour.
*5:30 half hour until my 5th juice. I'm feeling tired. I was hungry earlier and had two big glasses of water. That helped a lot.
Day 4:
I slept really well last night, despite there being thunderstorms. I also did a mud mask before I went to bed last night and my face has cleared up. As far as weight loss- I didn't lose anything yesterday. Which is odd, because I was moving around a lot yesterday. Today I decided that I'm going to keep this going by transitioning into 10 days of mostly vegan, 100% vegetarian. Usually when I'm doing my 5-meatless days I'm craving beef. With this cleanse I'm craving salad. I figure, it's a perfect opportunity to take advantage of that.
*4:00 again with the unnecessary sweating, dizzy, and really hot. I ate an all-fruit popsicle after this and it stopped.
*8:00 just drank the last juice.
I can see a sandwich in my future.
Day 5: Overall thoughts & total weight loss
After doing this cleanse, I've thought about two things- 1. I get too much of my satisfaction from what I eat. Even if I make a healthy salad, I try to make it one of the best salads I've ever tasted. I've really gotten into a routine of making something that is really hard for dinner -knowing it'll be good and feeling happy, excited, etc about it. I really noticed that when dinner was juice. 2. Cravings will go away. Usually I succumb to them if it's been a day or two, and on cleanse day 4, they had all basically stopped. Overall, I lost 4lbs. The biggest side effect was the dizziness. Keep in in mind I have an inner ear problem and was taking my medication, but I don't know if the juicing interacted with that. I'd probably do it again, if I found myself needing a reset. I also want to note, some of the reviews that I read about Cooler Cleanse said some of the juices tasted horrible. Other than one, the Brazil Nut Juice, I didn't think any tasted bad.
Congrats Kristen!
Please email me your shipping address at email@example.com
Winner has 48 hours to claim their cleanse, if the winner doesn't contact Living Mostly Meatless within 48 hours a new winner will be chosen.

Hip hop's roots as a musical phenomenon are subject to debate, but its roots as a commercial phenomenon are much clearer. They trace back directly to January 5, 1980, when the song "Rapper's Delight" became the first hip hop single ever to reach the Billboard top 40.
Prior to the success of "Rapper's Delight," hip hop was little known outside of New York City, and little known even within New York City by those whose orbits were limited to Midtown and Downtown Manhattan. The basic elements of hip hop—MCs rapping, DJs mixing and scratching, B-Boys break-dancing—were all in place by 1979, but you could not walk into a record store in Times Square and buy a hip hop album. Hip hop was something you had to experience live, in clubs and at parties in neighborhoods like the South Bronx and Harlem.
Those were the settings in which founding fathers of hip hop like Grandmaster Flash, Kurtis Blow and DJ Kool Herc were busy making their names while the crowds at Studio 54 danced away the last days of the disco just a few miles to the south. Meanwhile, it was a businesswoman from New Jersey who put the two trends together to give birth to an industry. Her name was Sylvia Robinson, formerly a singer and later the owner of a small record label called All Platinum. After hearing a DJ rapping over records in a Harlem club, she set her son Joey to the task of finding someone who could do the same thing on tape. Joey recruited his friend Big Bank Hank from an Englewood, New Jersey, pizzeria, and Master Gee and Wonder Mike from the surrounding neighborhood. This was on a Friday. Sylvia named the newly formed trio after the Sugar Hill section of Harlem, chose Chic's disco smash "Good Times" as a backing track and scheduled studio time for the following Monday.
What happened between that Friday and Monday is a subject of some controversy. It involves Big Bank Hank borrowing his lyrics almost wholesale from the notebook of Harlem MC Grandmaster Caz, whose name appears nowhere on the credits or royalty checks for "Rapper's Delight." What happened on Monday, however, was straightforward and revolutionary: the making of a record that began, "I said a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie..." and ended up changing the course of music history.

Memphis Woman Receives Prison Time and Is Ordered
to Pay $1.3 Million Dollars in Restitution
Memphis, TN - Ann Edwards, 39, of Memphis, a former employee of Associated Realty Services, Inc.
(ARS), was sentenced on March 28, 2011 by Judge Bernice Donald to 42 months in prison and ordered
to pay restitution totaling $1,303,882.19. Edwards pleaded guilty in November 2010 to a felony charge
of bank fraud.
According to the Indictment, from May 2004 until May 2008, Edwards, working as an accounting
specialist for ARS – a private management firm under contract to manage several HUD-funded apartment
complexes in Shelby County, Tennessee – embezzled approximately $1.3 million from ARS HUD-funded
bank accounts by manipulating accounting software programs to issue checks made out to her maiden
name, Ann Woods, and to falsely reflect that these checks were going to legitimate vendors of the HUD-funded
complexes. During the relevant time period, Edwards forged authorizing signatures on
approximately 500 checks totaling approximately $1,303,882.19 and deposited the checks into her own
bank accounts. Edwards would then use these funds for her own personal benefit and gain – including
numerous casino cash withdrawals.
The case was investigated by the United States Secret Service and was prosecuted by Assistant United
States Attorney Stephen Hall.

For one cross-branding minute, The Avengers and Amazing Spider-Man would exist on screen together. Latino Review found out during the press day for Spider-Man that for a brief second, the Oscorp tower would appear in the same skyline as Stark Tower in Avengers. It wasn't due to fan request, marketing tie-ins or even an attempt at cross-promotion between Sony and Disney.
Like Us on Facebook
It was thanks to the happy accident that J. Michael Riva was the production designer, among a number of films, on Spider-Man and the Iron Man films.
"That design overlap, and the stunning look of the Oscorp Tower (seriously stunning) was enough for Marvel Studios and Sony to have the discussion about inserting Oscorp into The Avengers skyline. The Unified Marvel Manhattan Skyline almost existed.
By the time the Oscorp building was fully designed, The Avengers digital Manhattan was already basically rendered and there was some up-conversion that needed to go down, so - for timing - it was scrapped.
BUT - Sony and Disney were going to let this happen. THAT's the key thing here. Timing just didn't work out."
This would be the first time since X-Men that a Mighty Marvel Team-Up could remotely occur. Granted, the X-Men footage was a little off-kilter:

Dimanche 27 mai
I have already explained, like my 19 year old slim brunette escort black men by a black janitor, who met while working as a nurse in a hospital in west London. The year was 1977. His clients were exclusively black and Pakistan. The puritanas agency was led by goalkeeper brother. It has been suggested that they could earn more money when you entertain clients at our house near Hampstead Heath. She asked what I puritanas thought. At that time she was sued by the needs of its customers. Response tended to be very passionate and aggressive in his image chic. not be too anxious, but I was thinking, enthusiastic customers and listening to the sounds of what you paid for sex sessions. I sound tentative. Then I answered my own arguments against them to say they are likely to be in order and perhaps safer than men in South London, not because I would have. To my delight, she said she still attending to customers in countries such as Brixton and Clapham, but theCheck out our apartment would be extra. However, I agreed and puritanas tried to sound cautious. He began to escort puritanas the next chapter of his work. Customers would visit on their days off. I was unemployed, so it would be there when they arrived. Imagine my delight when the new pink satin lingerie she had bought especially for your first visit with us in the house exposed. Janet Reiger was a group that consists of a heavy satin and lace slip length with matching bra, panties high cut French league deep satin ribbon and black silk stockings. All her clothes had a lot of exquisite lace. when you put your makeup, perfume had fitted, blue jacket, knee-length skirt and high heels, saw the image of the vulnerability of white women. If your previous customers were, to judge by, would get the fuck of his life, he first saw as a client. sex spend time in bed. My wife had bought new pink satin sheets and pillowcases for the occasIon. The room smelled of flowers. Our wedding image was left on puritanas the bedside table, because many customers like to know they were having sex with a married woman, but very young. The first customer was February 00 clock in a quiet Saturday afternoon. When the doorbell, I accepted a position in the vicinity of a crack in the door of the kitchen. I wanted the kind of guy, my wife had seen fucked. Elizabeth was very nervous. Although through some very rough black and Pakistanis have been fucked before, she was always nervous. I think I was more nervous, because new heard everything. Isabel then very priimly along our flag stoned hallway to the door sounded. Her skirt and heels to mean that only very short steps. I wondered what he would do if the man is bad. I am not a very aggressive and strong and is not a good fighter. When I heard the door open, my stomach was churning and my heart racing was. Isabel does not speak, butI could hear two male voices. I could not be in the client, as were two of the voices of Burr was a Jamaican who had to be puritanas for the client and the other man. My stomach churned quickly. No doubt they could not expect to see two clients at once, I thought incredulously.

RATIONALE: Epigenetic changes are implicated in the persisting vascular effects of hyperglycemia. The precise mechanism whereby chromatin structure and subsequent gene expression are regulated by glucose in vascular endothelial cells remain to be fully defined. OBJECTIVE: We have studied the molecular and functional mechanism whereby the Set7 methyltransferase associates with chromatin formation and histone methylation in vascular cells in response to current and previous exposure to glucose. METHODS AND RESULTS: To characterize the molecular and functional identity of the Set7 protein, we used vascular cells overexpressing or lacking Set7. Chromatin fractionation for mono-methylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 identified methyltransferase activity. Immunofluorescence experiments strongly suggest that Set7 protein accumulates in the nucleus in response to hyperglycemia. Moreover, activation of proinflammatory genes by high glucose is dependent on Set7 but distinguished by H3K4m1 gene patterns. We show that transient hyperglycemia regulates the expression of proinflammatory genes in vascular endothelial cells in vitro and the persistent increase in glucose-induced gene expression in the aorta of nondiabetic mice. CONCLUSIONS: This study uncovers that the response to hyperglycemia in vascular endothelial cells involves the H3K4 methyltransferase, Set7. This enzyme appears to regulate glucose-induced chromatin changes and gene expression not only by H3K4m1-dependent but also H3K4m1-independent pathways. Furthermore, Set7 appears to be responsible for sustained vascular gene expression in response to prior hyperglycemia and is a potential molecular mechanism for the phenomenon of hyperglycemic memory.

The myogenic basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor myogenin plays an essential role in the differentiation of skeletal muscle and, secondarily, in rib and sternum formation during mouse development. However, virtually nothing is known about the quantitative requirements for myogenin in these processes. Here, we describe the generation of mice carrying a hypomorphic allele of myogenin, which expresses myogenin transcripts at approximately one-fourth the level of the wild-type myogenin allele. The hypomorphic allele in combination with wild-type and myogenin-null alleles was used to create an allelic series. Embryos representing the complete range of genotypes from homozygous wild type to homozygous null were analyzed for their viability, ability to form normal ribs and sternum, and extent of skeletal muscle differentiation. Embryos carrying the hypomorphic myogenin allele over a wild-type allele were normal. In embryos bearing homozygous hypomorphic alleles, the sternum developed normally and extensive skeletal muscle differentiation occurred. However, muscle hypoplasia and reduced muscle-specific gene expression were apparent in these embryos, and the mice were not viable as neonates. When the hypomorphic allele was placed over a myogenin-null allele, the resulting embryos had sternum defects resembling homozygous myogenin-null embryos, and there was severe muscle hypoplasia. Our results demonstrate that skeletal muscle formation is highly sensitive to the absolute levels of myogenin and that correct sternum formation, skeletal muscle differentiation, and viability each require distinct threshold levels of myogenin.

Justin can't seem to contain himself. The pop star reportedly peed his initials in the snow in Snowmass, Col. as local residents looked on in shock. Public urination is illegal in every state, so it looks like the Biebs could be facing more legal trouble for his latest bizarre stunt!
Justin Bieber seems to be spiraling out of control. First police raided the Biebs' Calabasas, Calif. mansion on Jan. 14 after his neighbor accused him of viciously egging his house. Three days later, a report alleged that Justin has been using drugs so heavily that his friends are urging him to go to rehab. And now, despite the fact that he is already in trouble with the law, the Biebs reportedly urinated in public on Jan. 19. What was he thinking!?
Justin Bieber Peeing In Snow — More Trouble After Biebs Pees Initials In CO?
While driving with his entourage in Snowmass, Col., Justin had to take a bathroom break. So naturally the group pulled over to the side of a private road in an affluent neighborhood, TMZ reports.
Justin and his bodyguards popped out of the car and he proceeded to relieve himself in public in broad daylight — either not realizing or not caring that he had an audience.
After Justin and his crew sped off, the surprised residents went over to inspect the scene of the crime, and discovered that Justin had peed his initials, JB, in the snow, an eyewitness tells TMZ.
How shocking! Does Justin even stop to think about his actions anymore?
Selena Gomez: Did She Break Up With Justin Bieber Via Text Message?
Justin's bizarre behavior may have costed him his relationship with the woman he loves. Two weeks after Selena Gomez and Justin reunited, text messages that were allegedly sent from the pop star's phone leaked online — and they weren't pretty.
And after Selena reportedly urged Justin to get help for his alleged drug addiction and Justin responded by allegedly sending her naked pictures of himself, Selena reportedly decided to end the whole thing.
"We r done. U need to grow the f**k up," Selena reportedly said in texts obtained by Radar Online. "I hope you get jail time. U deserve it at this point."
Wow! If Selena really said that, it should have been a wake-up call for Justin — but unfortunately he seems more out of control than ever.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Does Justin deserve to go to jail? Do you think he should be punished for urinating in public? Let us know.

Felted Knit Journal Cover
By: Bernat
Cover your personal diary or daily notebook with this free knitting pattern from Bernat Yarns for a felted journal cover. Felting after knitting helps hide imperfections and is therefore very helpful to beginner knitters. Follow the instructions in this project to create the soft cover in warm, blended colors.
- Yarn: 3 balls of Bernat Felting Wool (75 g / 2.6 oz) #94606 (Happy Bouquet).
- Knitting Needles: Size 6.5 mm (U.S. 10½) knitting needles or size needed to obtain gauge. Elastic 1 inch 2.5 cm wide.
13 sts and 17 rows = 4" [10 cm] in stocking st.
To fit journal 8 x 10" 20.5 x 25.5 cm.
Things to Know Before Felting:
Record all the measurements and changes before and after felting. You will be able to adjust the method to produce proper results.
Always test a sample. Different colored yarns may felt differently.
Colorfastness can be affected by very hot water.
Any knit fabric that has been properly felted becomes very dense and matted.
How to Felt:
Using low water level, run a Hot/Cold cycle for 5 to 15 min. Add a pair of old jeans for agitation.
Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda for a small load. After one cycle, check for size. Repeat if necessary.
Run through the rinse and dry spin cycle.
Do not use a clothes dryer.
Lay felted piece onto a dry towel, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Shape piece to correct measurements.
If an edge ripples, baste a thread through the edge and gather in. Remove the thread after the felting is dry.
Cast on 67 sts.
Proceed in stocking st (knit on RS and purl on WS) for 16 ins 40.5 cm, ending with a purl row. Cast off.
Felt piece following "How to Felt" instructions.
Shape piece to measurements and let dry. Trim piece to measure 17 ins 43 cm wide x 10½ ins 26.5 cm long.
Cut 2 pieces of elastic 9 3/4"[25 cm] long. Pin elastic to WS of Cover 1 1/2" [4 cm] in from each side edge. Sew ends of elastic to Cover. Slip cover of Journal through elastic.

Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 13
Adjacent Routes
24m. This major route follows the blunt overhanging prow, up the front face of The Promontory, above an evil landing. It gives a sustained sequence of dynamic and blind moves between some reasonably positive holds and some unreasonably sloping ones. Start beneath the obvious pocket on the front face. Once above this, a nasty slap around the arete for a dish leads to the famous knee-move (not really necessary unless you've got inflexibly long legs). A final worrying stretch for the half-height break (harder for the short) gains compulsory protection, easier ground and, ultimately, salvation. USER COMMENTS

Pat awoke one recent morning with cold symptoms. She reached into her medicine cabinet for a well-known over-the-counter cold remedy she had often used in the past.
An hour later, Pat was on the phone to her doctor's office. She told the nurse that her heart was beating unusually fast, she had shortness of breath, and blurry vision.
Pat's doctor had recently put her on a prescription antidepressant. She was feeling the frightening result of one drug causing a problem because of a reaction with another drug. Fortunately, the effects were mild and wore off within a few hours.
Pat's experience shows how reading the information that comes with all drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter medications, can help you avoid problems. If Pat had read the information paper that came with her prescription, she would have known not to take the cold medicine with her new prescription medication.
These days it's common to see this information in prescription drug ads in magazines, newspapers, television, and other media. Such information is also available in the packages of over-the-counter drugs and any prescription drugs you may use. The FDA and the Federal Trade Commission have rules requiring which warnings about side effects and interactions must be included in advertising. If your pharmacist doesn't hand you a paper with this information when you get your prescription, be sure to ask for it.
The "fine print" in these papers is what's known as "Prescribing Information" or "Patient Information." It's required by the FDA to balance the information a company put in their drug advertisement.
Experts agree that people who want to know as much as they can should read the fine print that comes with any drug that they plan to use.
Prescribing and Patient Information papers tell you how to use the drug safely and effectively. This information is used by health care professionals, too. You can also use the patient information to learn:
The diseases or conditions the drug treats
The dose needed
Who should not receive the drug
Other medications that should not be used when taking the drug
Side effects that can occur
How the drug should be stored
This information might at first appear to be a bit confusing. FDA rules say that drug advertisements must have a list of every side effect that occurred during testing. For example, the patient information in a magazine ad for a typical drug might say that the drug can cause dry mouth, dizziness, blurred vision, and even hepatitis, a sometimes-fatal liver disease.
That may sound like a good reason to avoid the drug, but you need to look at the information in the correct way, experts say. Given the right circumstances, every drug can cause side effects — even aspirin.
If you are not sure if the information you read applies to you or want help figuring out what you read, be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Young Children of Black Immigrants in America: Changing Flows, Changing Faces
Young Children of Black Immigrants in America: Changing Flows, Changing Faces
With global mobility on the rise, the international community is finally grappling with the challenge of stranded migrants, which is one of the main agenda items for the High-level Dialogue on Migration and Development in the UN General Assembly in October 2013.
A panel discussion on the release of the Regional Migration Study Group's final report, Thinking Regionally to Compete Globally: Leveraging Migration & Human Capital in the U.S., Mexico, and Central America, outlining its findings and offering recommendations to policymakers in the region.
This MPI event discussed the Dutch model for fighting human trafficking and the strategic and operational dilemmas that public prosecutors in the Netherlands face.
This discussion with Mexico's new Ambassador to the United States focused on changing dynamics in Mexico, and their implications for both Mexico and the U.S.
With the prospects for immigration reform greater than they have been in more than a decade and the U.S. economy slowly shrugging off the effects of the recession, the United States may be on the cusp of historic changes that make the immigration system a more effective tool for innovation, economic growth and the competitiveness of its firms—large and small.
MPI's President, Demetrios G. Papademetriou, and the Editor-in-Chief of The American Prospect, Kit Rachlis, engage in a lively Google Hangout discussion about the policies and politics that have created the United States' antiquated, inflexible immigration system and how to create a modern-day, flexible immigration system suited for the competitiveness of the 21st century.
This discussion covers some of the most difficult issues that must be addressed if the United States is to reform its immigration system in ways that work not only for today's reality but tomorrow's future.
Testimony of Demetrios G. Papademetriou, MPI President, before the Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, Committee on the Judiciary, U.S. House of Representatives.

A delegation of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) visited Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, and Iraq in late November to discuss the humanitarian crisis with refugees, officials from host and donor governments, representatives of international humanitarian organizations and local nongovernmental agencies; and to get a firsthand look at the work of IRC partners and staff who are directly involved in providing assistance to the refugees and to Syrians trapped inside the country.
MPI has released a major study that describes and analyzes today's immigration enforcement programs, as they have developed and grown in the 25 years since IRCA launched the current enforcement era.
The event discussion, which touched on the intersection of race and immigration, focused on the demographics of Black immigrants (both African and Caribbean) in the United States and their children, their educational success, and the implications of the recently released volume's findings for research and public policy.

Second Parent Adoptions in the Gay Community
Christine J. Klein, Esq.
December 2009
Recently, I received a telephone call from a woman asking for help because she thought she might lose her child. She and her partner were breaking up and she had never adopted the child they had conceived and raised together. I then had to deliver the heartbreaking news that she was absolutely correct. She was going to lose her daughter and there was nothing I could do to help. As the non-biological parent, she had no right to the child she had raised since its birth, not even visitation rights.
I wish I could say this is the first time this has happened, but it is a devastating reality in our community and it happens far too often. Under the current law in the State of New York, a second parent, who does not adopt, has no legal rights. If a couple breaks up, the biological parent will have sole custody and the non-biological parent has no standing to seek either custody or visitation. If the biological parent dies without a will, his or her family can be given custody of the child. Moreover, a known sperm donor or surrogate could also seek custody of the child. Without an adoption to terminate their parental rights, surrogates and donors have the right to seek custody and visitation, regardless of any contract you may have with them.
But this can be prevented. A second-parent adoption can protect your family and should be part of a family plan, right from the start. An adoption will give the non-biological parent all the rights and responsibilities of any other parent. If the couple breaks up, custody and child support issues will be determined by the same rules that apply to all parents. If one partner dies, the other parent will retain custody of the child(ren). As part of the adoption process, the donor or surrogate signs their consent and surrenders any legal rights.
Many delay adopting, because they believe that they will never break up. But breakups do happen and to couples we never thought it would. Another reason people put it off is because they think that a will, leaving custody to the non-biological parent is enough protection if their partner dies. But a will could be challenged later or a technical defect might prevent the Court from probating the will. The Court will then determine what is in the "best interest" of the child. Do you want to leave your rights as a parent to the judgment of a judge?
It is easy to protect yourself and your family. A second-parent adoption is a simple process by which your attorney will prepare and submit the necessary documentation to the court. After a brief home study, and approximately four to six months later, you will appear in court and the judge will, in most cases, sign the Order granting the adoption. Both parents will now enjoy the benefits and share the legal and financial responsibilities of parenthood. You will have protected yourself, your partner and your children.

Estate Planning for the LGBT Community
Christine J. Klein, Esq.
June 2011
Estate planning is important for all couples and singles, regardless of sexuality or gender identity. But for members of the LGBT community, it can be absolutely critical.
LGBT families need to be protected, even more than heterosexual families, simply because we do not have the same automatic safeguards that other married couples do in this country. What is more, many members of the LGBT community are estranged from their families. Because our family structure is often "non-traditional," we need to take extra care to be certain that the people we love are provided for when we are gone.
Do you know who will inherit your property when you die? Who will care for your children? And who will make decisions for you if you are unable to do so for yourself? If you do not know the answers to these questions, you may not be prepared.
If you do not have a health care proxy or you die without a will, the law is going to look to your "next of kin." You might think of that as your partner or even your dearest friend, but the courts probably may not. Instead, your property could go to your parents or siblings and they will make the decisions on your health care as well. Your partner might be excluded completely. The child you raised, but never adopted, could be left with nothing. The parent who evicted you when they found out you were gay may make your health care decisions when you no longer can.
But there are ways to protect yourself and your family. There are legal documents we can use to make sure that the people you want to make the decisions and receive your property are the ones who actually do. The most common tools we use are wills, trusts, health care proxies, living wills and powers of attorney.
Last Will and Testament – It is through your will that you can leave your property to those you care about in the proportions you wish. Your will can also appoint a guardian for your minor children, as well as a guardian for the assets they may inherit from you.
Trusts – A trust is a document that contains the rules on how, what, when and where a gift will be distributed to heirs and beneficiaries. Common objectives of trusts are to protect property, save estate taxes and avoid probate.
Health Care Proxy – This document will allow you to appoint someone to make health care decisions for you when you are not able.
Living Will – A living will is a legal document wherein you can state today, while you are still competent, your wishes for your future health care.
Durable Power of Attorney – This document will allow someone to manage your property and make legal decisions for you when you are no longer able to do so.
No two estates are exactly the same. Finding the right combination of these and other legal documents to protect your family will be a collaboration between you and your attorney. But if you plan carefully, you can ensure that you and your loved ones are protected and provided for.

Where Do We Stand Now?
A Look at Recent Changes in the Law Affecting the LGBT Community
by Christine J. Klein, Esq.
In 2011, we saw a lot of change in the laws affecting the LGBT community including the legalization of same sex marriage in New York and the repeal "Don't Ask. Don't Tell." So now we ask, "What has changed? What steps must LGBT men and women take, in order to protect themselves and their families? And where do we stand now?"
Although much has changed, so much has remained the same. Without the repeal of DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act), federal law does not allow our community many of the benefits heterosexual couples still enjoy. Until that law is repealed, the LGBT community will need to take extra steps to ensure that their families are protected and cared for.
It is clear under New York law, that if an LGBT individual dies without a will, his/her husband or wife is entitled to inherit under the estate. They would have the same rights as any other spouse. But those rights do not necessarily go beyond New York. For instance, New York would not assess any estate tax on the inheritance, but the federal government might, depending on the size of the estate. Moreover, property held outside the state of New York, in a less gay-friendly jurisdiction (such as a summer home or condo Florida or Pennsylvania), may not fall under the same rule.
Similarly, New York hospitals recognize a same sex-spouse as the next of kin, with rights to make health care decisions and visit the spouse in a New York hospital. But when you leave the state of New York those same rights may not exist. Other states do not have to recognize gay marriages and it is possible that the spouse could be completely excluded. For these reasons, we continue to draft wills, health care proxies and other legal documents to protect same-sex couples.
Another example of disparity can be found in the continued need for stepparent adoptions. In New York a child born to a married woman, through artificial insemination with the knowledge and consent of her husband, is deemed a child of the husband. Legal adoption is not necessary. While we expect New York to apply this same law to lesbian couples, other states do not have to follow suit. Other states may not honor birth certificates as proof of parentage for the non-biological mother. They do, however, have to honor an Order of Adoption.
These laws affect not only couples who relocate, but also those who choose to travel outside of the state. You may want to take the kids to Disney or travel with your partner to Key West or simply take a ride out to the Poconos for a weekend. In any of these places, your rights and those of your family members simply are not the same. And if you leave the country, the complications can be even greater. As such, it is critical to complete a step stepparent adoption, even if you are legally married. Make sure your health care proxies, wills, and other legal documents are up to date.
That the fight for equality is far from over can further be seen in the military applications of "Don't Ask. Don't Tell." I was recently invited to address the legal implications of the repeal of "Don't Ask. Don't Tell," as part of a panel at Rockland Community College. I was joined on the panel by an Army recruiter and a former member of the military.
We cannot diminish for one second the value of being able to openly serve, and being honest with oneself and others about one's own identity and the identity of those we love. For those in the military to be able to serve their country, without fear of being "found out," is an incredible step forward.
Nevertheless, the glaring limitations of rights for same-sex couples in the military cannot be ignored. Even if married in a state where it is legal, such as New York or Connecticut, the military will not and cannot recognize the service member's spouse in the same way they would a heterosexual spouse. An LGBT soldier's spouse is not eligible for medical benefits, death benefits or any other military benefit. They might be allowed to shop at the PX, but they would not be eligible for family housing. A gay soldier's stepchild is not eligible for medical benefits and military scholarships. While strides have been made, equality still eludes our grasp.
What we take away from all of this is that while we made tremendous progress in 2011, there is still so far to go. We've moved toward equality, but the fight is far from complete. Protect yourself and your loved ones in the interim. Make sure you have an up-to-date will and health care proxy. Make sure you complete that step or second-parent adoption. Continue to support the groups that fight for equality for the LGBT community.

Twenty-Two charged for multi-state scheme to obtain real driver's licenses with fraudulent documents
June 27, 2012 |
Criminal Enterprise Allegedly Provided Illegal Aliens and Others with Stolen Immigration Documents, Falsified Visas, Passports, Utility Bills and Bank Statements
NEWARK, N.J. – Charges against 22 individuals were unsealed today and arrests were made in six states in connection with an alleged scheme to fraudulently obtain driver's licenses for illegal aliens and other ineligible individuals, New Jersey U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman and FBI Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward announced.
Federal agents have made 17 arrests in New Jersey, New York, California, Nevada, Virginia, and Georgia – including a contract employee of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) charged with stealing and providing forms used to aid in the scheme. The charged criminal operation allegedly provided a suite of unlawful services to individuals illegally residing in the United States, including fraudulently obtaining driver's licenses, and investor and student visas.
The federally charged defendants arrested in New Jersey are scheduled to appear this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy L. Waldor in Newark federal court. Those arrested in other states will have initial appearances in local federal courts.
"Today's charged conspiracy included brokers across the country who recruited and served customers looking for a valid driver's license to legitimize their illegal presence in the United States," said U.S. Attorney Fishman. "By allegedly shepherding illegal aliens through the application process and providing them with counterfeit documentation, the defendants enabled their customers to gain access to all the credibility that a driver's license affords. Strong immigration enforcement includes guarding against those who subvert the safeguards designed to keep us secure."
"By gaining access to protected, blank government immigration forms, the subjects in this case were able to utilize sophisticated computer software to create false identity documents and subsequently move to receive legitimate driver's licenses," said Special Agent in Charge Ward. "In doing so, they were able to circumvent established safeguards and proper vetting put into place post 9/11. The exploitation of this vulnerability is significant because identity-type frauds are a gateway crime. Seldom are they the end game. Individuals with falsely obtained identities are more likely to commit financial frauds, walk away from legal obligations, and are more difficult for law enforcement to identify and investigate."
According to the Complaints unsealed today:
Young-Kyu Park, formerly a resident of Fort Lee, N.J., and currently a resident of Los Angeles, was the leader of a criminal enterprise ("the Park Criminal Enterprise") operating in Palisades Park and Fort Lee, N.J., as well as in other states.
The Park Criminal Enterprise illegally obtained driver's licenses genuinely issued by New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Nevada, and elsewhere. To do so, it acquired, created, and counterfeited a variety of documents for sale to customers. Members of the Park Criminal Enterprise also escorted customers to various state motor vehicle agencies and coached them through obtaining the licenses. In return, customers each paid the Park Criminal Enterprise a fee of approximately $3,000 to $4,500 for the unlawful services.
In particular, Young-Kyu Park fraudulently obtained, completed and sold genuine I-797 forms for customers to use to get licenses. An I-797 form is used by the federal government – including USCIS, a division of the Department of Homeland Security – to communicate with others or convey an immigration benefit. State agencies that issue driver's licenses rely on these forms to verify the authenticity of an applicant's foreign passport and to verify the applicant's lawful presence in the United States. One version of this form can be used to show eligibility for in-state college tuition.
The Park Criminal Enterprise also altered and counterfeited other immigration documents, including passports, and created and provided fictitious documents to customers – such as fictitious utility bills and bank statements used to establish residency requirements. In furtherance of the scheme, Young-Kyu Park and his co-conspirators fraudulently extended expired Korean passports of individuals without legal status in the United States so they could obtain driver's licenses. These illegal services were, at times, advertised in Korean newspapers and online with headings such as, "New Jersey Driver's License."
Young-Kyu Park obtained blank I-797 forms from Karine Michmichian and Martin Trejo, a USCIS contract employee working at the USCIS' Western Forms Center in Montclair, Calif. – the United States' largest warehouse storage facility for these forms. At various times, Young-Kyu Park ordered the forms from Michmichian, who contacted Trejo.
For example, on Feb. 2, 2012, Young-Kyu Park called a cell phone used by Michmichian. Approximately two minutes later she sent a text message to a cell phone used by Trejo, stating, "Need 200 (A) call me asap, please, valentines is coming," – an alleged reference to the purchase of approximately 200 I-797A forms.
Young-Kyu Park then used a computer to print customers' information onto the blank, stolen forms.
The Park Criminal Enterprise maintained a network of co-conspirators in New Jersey, Nevada, Georgia, and Virginia that met with customers. Young-Kyu Park often communicated with his co-conspirators in various states through email. For example, on Nov. 3, 2011, Young-Kyu Park sent an email to a cooperating witness, stating, "Not sure if [you] have received [the customer's] passport from Director Kim [Ki-Sok Kim]. Must receive the passport and extend it. When extending passport . . . [sic] set the period to 11/3/2011-11/2/2016 . . [sic] issue date should be 11/2/2011." In the same email, Young-Kyu Park directed the cooperating witness to then send the altered passport, via Federal Express, to Ho-man Lee, a co-conspirator in Alexandria, Va., who helped customers to illegally get licences in that state.
Members of the Park Criminal Enterprise, including Young-Kyu Park's wife, Soong-Young Park, and his daughter, Hanna Park, laundered the proceeds of the illegal operation to distribute the proceeds and conceal the scheme.
The criminal Complaint charges the following offenses:
Count One charges the named defendants with conspiracy to unlawfully produce identification documents (driver's licenses) and false identification documents (passports). The charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Count Two charges the named defendants with conspiracy to steal government property and to transport and receive stolen property in interstate commerce. The charge carries a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Count Three charges the named defendants with conspiracy to commit money laundering. The charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
A chart appended to this release identifies the defendants and the offenses with which they are each charged.
* * *
U.S. Attorney Fishman praised the work of special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Ward, in the investigation of this case – along with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Andrew M. McLees; the Department of Homeland Security, Office of Inspector General, Special Agent in Charge Gregory K. Null of the Philadelphia field office; and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, under the direction of New Jersey District Director John E. Thompson.
U.S. Attorney Fishman noted the invaluable work of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, under the direction of Chief Administrator Raymond P. Martinez, in facilitating the investigation; and praised the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, under the direction of Prosecutor John L. Molinelli, for providing the manpower for a vital investigative role throughout. He also thanked the New Jersey State Police, under the direction of Colonel Joseph R. Fuentes, for its substantial assistance.
Also thanked were the FBI field offices in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, Atlanta, and Richmond, Va., as well as U.S. Attorney's Offices for the District of Nevada and the Central District of California for their support of this case and today's operation.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Anthony Moscato and Lisa M. Colone of the U.S. Attorney's Office Organized Crime/Gangs unit in Newark.
The charges and allegations contained in the Complaint are merely accusations, and the defendants are considered innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Nike SB Eric Koston 2 LR – Black – Anthracite – Wolf Grey by Brendan Dunne 0 Comments
March 22, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 1
Just how good is Eric Koston? Just how hard did he tear down your local skate spot when he rolled through town? This hilarious new spot, featuring the Nike Koston 2 on feet of course, approaches that very subject from a slapstick angle. The story starts off small enough as a couple of kids discuss Koston's skills, only for the tale to grow taller as stars like Tiger Woods, Kyrie Irving, Neymar Jr., Allyson Felix, and Danny Kass manage to amplify what actually happened to the point where you've got Koston eluding police, getting shot at, and saving a baby's life during a line. See the spot after the jump and watch for the Nike Koston 2 to debut next month.

Deer munching on our beloved trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals is often a problem many people face throughout the year. Though, there are many things you can do to discourage these four-legged critters from feasting in your yard. It is important to use a mixture of strategies, as deer will become accustomed to various deterrents and once they reach a certain "comfort level", if you will, they will ignore the deterrents, so mix it up! Read on to learn more...
Plant Deer Resistant Plants
We all know if deer are hungry enough, they may munch on even the most "deer resistant" plants on the market. Though, these plants aren't those they fancy, so they are most likely going to walk right by them. Also keep in mind that deer can (and will!) adapt to most any available food source, especially during the spring when shoots are tender, in severe drought situations when plant life may not be as readily available, or in areas that are over populated. At the end of this article, you will find an extensive selection of Deer Resistant Plants, broken down by plant type. Though, if you do not have your list with you while shopping, keep in mind these important tips:
- Select plants with strong aromatic qualities. Deer rarely eat these type of plants.
- Choose plants that have a rough, course texture or hairy-like surface.
- Choose plants that have a milky sap-like substance or a bitter taste.
- Mass plant or plant multiple varieties of deer resistant plants to create an area that deer will bypass.
- Intermingle "must have" deer prone plants with deer resistant plants. For example, plant miscanthus grass in between roses. Deer do not like the grass foliage in their faces and will often bypass the cherished roses.
- Select aggressive growing plants that can withstand some browsing.
Spray Plants
You can choose to spray your plants with commercial repellant products or if you have time, make a homemade remedy to try. We have a nice selection of commerical repellants available at Fairview. It should be noted that sprays are most effective when applied immediately after your plants are planted or when new foliage begins to emerge in the spring. Repeat sprays are required throughout the year.
Homemade Deer Spray Recipes:
- Blend three eggs with one cup of water then add to a gallon of water. Apply spray to dry foliage. This spray should last about three to four weeks, even with rain or irrigation.
- Mix one small bottle of hot pepper sauce with one gallon of water and one tablespoon of liquid soap or vegetable oil. Apply every one to two weeks, or as needed after rain.
- Blood meal (available in our Garden Center) can be applied around plants or mixed in water and sprayed on the plants. Apply every one to two weeks, or as needed after rain.
Hang Noisy and Shiny Objects
- The old fashioned toy the slinky can be hung near deer-prone plants. It serves both as a noisy and shiny object that deer will often avoid.
- Hang tin cans or pie pans.
- Consider playing a radio in your garden from time to time.
Other Options to Consider
- String fishing lines at various heights along a wooded area or in an area that is known for high deer traffic (make sure it is readily detectable by humans!). The theory is that deer will not try to cross something they cannot see but can feel.
- Put up a fence. Net fence options are relatively inexpensive and somewhat see through. Though, it should be noted that fencing under eight feet is usually ineffective. Deer will often avoid jumping a fence if they cannot gauge the width or see where they will land. Consider constructing a slanted fence or a solid structure.
- Man's best friend: Get a dog. A dog that frequently patrols your yard is quite possibly one of the most effective deer deterrents.

Acer AX1930-UR10P
- Category: Desktop Computers
March 22, 2012
Editor's Rating
- Affordable price
- Slim size
- Top-of-category performance
- Limited connectivity
- Poor 3D gaming performance
The Acer AX1930-UR10P certainly looks like a standard issue budget desktop on the outside, but thanks to its 3.3GHz Intel Core i3 and 4GB of RAM, it is one of the best performing computers in its category. It does lack connectivity options and has limited storage capacity at 500GB, but what can you expect from a sub-$500 desktop?
This Acer budget PC has a slim chassis that measures 13.9 x 10.5 x 4.0-inches (whd) and weighs about 12-pounds. Because of its small size, however, you do limit yourself quite heavily in terms of future expansion. There is no room for an extra hard drive or optical drive, so replacement of the current stock components is your only option. There are free PCI Express x16 and x1 slots, so there's a little expansion room there. Other than that, it has a standard matte gray finish that will fit right into any most home or small business setting.
Acer includes two USB 2.0 ports on the front and six more USB 2.0 ports on the back in addition to HDMI-out, VGA-out, gigabit Ethernet and the usual audio ports. There is a multiformat memory card reader in the front as well as a DVD+/-RW optical disc drive. There are no USB 3.0 ports, which are a must-have in our opinion to keep a computer from becoming quickly obsolete in the near future. Network connectivity is limited to just Ethernet, so Wi-Fi users will have to add an internal card. However for a sub-$500 computer, we can't complain too much.
Internally Acer has chosen to include an Intel Core i3-2120 (3.3GHz) CPU, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive and integrated Intel HD graphics. The speedy CPU, while only a Core i3, offers quite a bit of processing power that, in combination with the 4GB of RAM, does very well. We found its performance to be at or very near the top of the budget desktop category, so you're definitely getting more power for less money here.
Most users will find no flaws in the Acer AX1930's performance and should be quite pleased with it. It does well at streaming HD video online, multitasking and doing some casual image and video editing.
Hardcore 3D gaming performance is extremely limited thanks to the integrated Intel graphics, so this isn't the desktop to buy if gaming is your thing. However if you're looking for a budget desktop that won't leave you wanting more in terms of speed, this is the one to get.
