Many people fail to take into account the potential risk for an unexpected event, such as the death of a spouse, which can leave your financial life in disarray. By careful planning of your estate for you and your family's future, you can have the confidence that your family will be protected and will be taken care of in the event of an unexpected death. An estate planning attorney in Dallas can bring you that level of assurance through the skilled execution of the legal documents needed to protect your loved ones.
Contact me at (888) 225-9167 to get started with your estate planning needs.
Although it is not often a pleasant situation to think about, it is important to realize that it is an extremely important area of the law that will have a profound impact on the future of your loved ones.

At my firm, I recognize how important it is to provide compassionate and respectful assistance in estate planning. I know how difficult it can be to overcome situations of this nature and I am therefore fully committed to ensuring that my clients are protected and supported as they move forward in the process.
My name is Carol Butrus and I am a sole practitioner who has been helping families with their estate planning needs for over 23 years. I am dedicated to helping my clients with all of the following:
There are many benefits to estate planning, including a wise distribution of assets using the proper legal tools at my disposal. There are numerous types of trusts that individuals can establish to protect their assets, depending on their circumstances. Such things as irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts or qualified domestic trusts all can be set up to serve your unique financial needs. It is always wise to plan for incapacity of a loved one with the proper establishment of executors, guardians and trustees. For business owners, we can set up a business continuation plan that will protect your business from estate taxes and allow it to continue to operate into the future, keeping it secure as a financial source of income for your surviving family members. I can even establish a family limited partnership when the needs are better served with this type of a legal solution for your assets.
Estate Planning The process of estate planning involves proactively taking steps that will help plan for your future. This can be looking into the drafting of a will or a trust, could be the establishment of a guardian or it could be planning for possible future incapacity. Regardless, it is a proactive step that allows for members to plan for their loved ones in the future – distributing their assets and determining the future of their property. If you are interested in planning your estate, it is highly encouraged that you do not hesitate to get the involvement of an experienced lawyer who is well-versed in this area of the law. At our firm, we know the importance of estate planning and we know just how profound of an impact this will have on your future.

Dealing with an estate planning issue is never simple – it is an emotionally delicate situation and deserves to be treated with respect and care.
For this reason, I work exhaustively to provide my clients with personalized assistance. While many firms are content to run their clients through a legal mill, I take the time and invest the effort so that my clients can be confident knowing that they will not be treated as mere numbers. They will be given the compassionate attention that will address the nuances of their case. I know that you are an individual with unique needs – you can trust that I will always keep this in mind as I work to help you obtain the result that you personally are seeking.
I feel strongly about the establishment of a will and using a caring and skilled legal advocate to help plan your wishes in regards to your estate, rather than using an online form. With my expertise in this area, I can provide clients with cost effective solutions, yet bring them an understanding as to why I am helping them establish certain legal documents that I know will assist them in their future.
Don't let taxes eat up your estate because of a failure to plan effectively. My office is ready to help you with the complex legal strategies that can allow you to preserve your wealth and bequeath it to those who matter most to you.

Learning Nonlinear Visual Processing from Natural Images AbstractThe paradigm of computational vision hypothesizes that any visual function -- such as the recognition of your grandparent -- can be replicated by computational processing of the visual input. What are these computations that the brain performs? What should or could they be? Working on the latter question, this dissertation takes the statistical approach, where the suitable computations are attempted to be learned from the natural visual data itself. In particular, we empirically study the computational processing that emerges from the statistical properties of the visual world and the constraints and objectives specified for the learning process. This thesis consists of an introduction and 7 peer-reviewed publications, where the purpose of the introduction is to illustrate the area of study to a reader who is not familiar with computational vision research. In the scope of the introduction, we will briefly overview the primary challenges to visual processing, as well as recall some of the current opinions on visual processing in the early visual systems of animals. Next, we describe the methodology we have used in our research, and discuss the presented results. We have included some additional remarks, speculations and conclusions to this discussion that were not featured in the original publications. We present the following results in the publications of this thesis. First, we empirically demonstrate that luminance and contrast are strongly dependent in natural images, contradicting previous theories suggesting that luminance and contrast were processed separately in natural systems due to their independence in the visual data. Second, we show that simple cell -like receptive fields of the primary visual cortex can be learned in the nonlinear contrast domain by maximization of independence. Further, we provide first-time reports of the emergence of conjunctive (corner-detecting) and subtractive (opponent orientation) processing due to nonlinear projection pursuit with simple objective functions related to sparseness and response energy optimization. Then, we show that attempting to extract independent components of nonlinear histogram statistics of a biologically plausible representation leads to projection directions that appear to differentiate between visual contexts. Such processing might be applicable for priming, \ie the selection and tuning of later visual processing. We continue by showing that a different kind of thresholded low-frequency priming can be learned and used to make object detection faster with little loss in accuracy. Finally, we show that in a computational object detection setting, nonlinearly gain-controlled visual features of medium complexity can be acquired sequentially as images are encountered and discarded. We present two online algorithms to perform this feature selection, and propose the idea that for artificial systems, some processing mechanisms could be selectable from the environment without optimizing the mechanisms themselves. In summary, this thesis explores learning visual processing on several levels. The learning can be understood as interplay of input data, model structures, learning objectives, and estimation algorithms. The presented work adds to the growing body of evidence showing that statistical methods can be used to acquire intuitively meaningful visual processing mechanisms. The work also presents some predictions and ideas regarding biological visual processing.

The best place to begin when embarking on your first — or any — email marketing campaign is to determine your goal. In order to do that, you need to ask yourself two questions.
Are you talking to customers or prospects? Are you reaching out to industry experts and peers, or to followers of your brand? No matter who you're talking to, it's a good idea to dig a little deeper and ask:
The more you know about who they are, the more focused you can make your message. And the more focused your message is, the more effective it will be.
Now that you know who you're talking to, the purpose of your message starts to come to life on its own.
Customers, prospects and industry leaders are vastly different audiences with different expectations, levels of knowledge and reasons for wanting to hear from you. Knowing what to say affects every step in the process.

Best of The Nest
The man I'm marrying has a son who will be nine years old when we get married. I want to give him something during the wedding ceremony to show that I am not just marrying his father, but joining his family too! I have no idea what to get him. Can you help?
How about a really nice watch? Maybe one of those cool pocket watches hidden in a gold or silver case. The symbolism of time -- that you will love and support your new son for the rest of your life -- is appropriate and a watch is something people use every day, so he'll always remember it was from you. You can even have the back engraved with the date or a personal message. It's wonderful that you've thought to include your fiance's son in your ceremony; you can count on the fact that he'll always remember your loving gesture.

Half-centuries from Scott Elstone and David Wainwright helped Derbyshire fight back on a rain-affected second day against Gloucestershire.
Elstone made 63 and Wainwright 54 not out, the pair putting on 70 for the seventh wicket, as Derbyshire went from 166 for six overnight to post 278 at the County Ground.
With the rain again proving a disruption, Gloucestershire only managed to get to 21 without loss before play was called off for the day.
Derbyshire's hopes of a recovery lay largely with all-rounder Elstone at the start of the day as he resumed on 36.
After a first day dominated by the ball, Derbyshire needed a strong start and Elstone and Wainwright gave them exactly that.
Elstone, 23, brought up his first 50 in only his second first-class innings and moved on to 63 before he was trapped lbw by Will Gidman, bringing an end to a 158-ball knock.
His partnership with Wainwright had taken the score to 223 and Wainwright kept the score ticking on past the 250-mark.
Tim Groenewald chipped in with a useful 17 from 20 balls before becoming Gidman's fourth wicket of the innings, the all-rounder finishing with four for 50.
Rain prevented Gloucestershire's reply from getting off the ground, with openers Michael Klinger and Chris Dent on 12 and eight respectively at stumps.

Environmental Studies
Olin/Rice Halls of Science, Room 249
1600 Grand Avenue
St. Paul, MN 55105
Department History
In May 1972, the faculty at Macalester College adopted in principle an Environmental Studies (ES) concentration. In spring 1973, a specific proposal was developed and the program began the following fall. Students were required to take 6 courses in one department, 6 supporting courses, and 2 new ES courses - a senior seminar and an introductory course. Students either could graduate with this concentration alone, or they could also obtain a major in the other department (students at Macalester were able to graduate with a concentration only until the late 1990s when the faculty voted to require a major for graduation).
The program was lead by a Coordinator and a Coordinating Committee consisting of a faculty member from the geography, geology, chemistry, political science, economics, and philosophy department. In spring 1982, the Coordinating Committee revised the major and made the requirements more stringent. The new set of requirements, which were continued with only minor modifications until 2000, required students to complete a major (or core) in an approved department, as well as some additional course requirements (Principles of Economics, Physical Geography, Physical Geology and Ecology or Biodiversity), an internship and a senior capstone course.
A new ES Director was hired at the start of the 1998-1999 academic year. This position was added as part of a general expansion of the size of the faculty during which a number of interdisciplinary programs, including ES, were granted their first "stand alone" positions. New courses were added as requirements: an introductory Environmental Science course and a junior-level course in Environmental Policy Analayis. New requirements for the major were also developed..
In 2003-2004, Macalester's Educational Policy and Governance Committee (EPAG) recommended to the faculty that the current Environmental Studies (ES) Program be converted into an interdisciplinary Environmental Studies Department under criteria previously developed and adopted by EPAG and the faculty. The faculty endorsed the creation of the Department of Environmental Studies, and two professors were hired with specialties in Environmental History and Environmental Policy. In 2008, a third full-time position was added in the field of Climate Science. The department is now staffed with 3.5 FTE and will continue to draw on courses from faculty in other departments.
In 2006, the Macalester Faculty approved the addition of a minor to supplement the major in Environmental Studies.

Last week, Blackbaud released the 2011 donorCentrics Internet and Multichannel Giving Benchmarking Report. This report analyzes data from 28 organizations (some of the biggest national nonprofits in the U.S.) and includes transactions for over 15 million donors and $1 billion in revenue.
The study confirms much of what we already know (and why you should care) about online donors and online acquisition! It also highlights the interesting opportunities and challenges posed by multi-channel giving. Here are some key findings.
- Online-acquired donors are younger.
- Online donors tend to have higher household incomes than mail-acquired donors.
- Online-acquired donors tend to give much larger gifts and to give more in total revenue each year than mail-acquired donors.
- Online donors become multi-channel donors. According to the study, "Every year, large proportions of online-acquired donors switch from online giving to offline sources — primarily to direct mail. The reverse is not true, however; only a tiny percentage of mail-acquired donors give online in later years."
- Finally, and this may be the most important point - Online-acquired donors have much higher lifetime value than traditional mail-acquired donors. See chart below.
"Robust direct mail programs drive up the retention and long-term value of new donors acquired online. Without the ability to become multichannel givers by renewing their support via direct mail, this group of donors would be worth far less. Other than monthly recurring giving programs, established direct mail programs are the best method for gaining repeat gifts from online- acquired donors."
We've seen this multi-channel challenge/opportunity with several of our clients at Care2. Namely, after working with hundreds of nonprofits, we've learned that the only way to significantly improve your fundraising success is to "fire on all cylinders" vs. keeping donors in silos.
For example, check out this recent case study we did with Human Rights Campaign, an organization that works for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equal rights. You'll notice that by employing a multi-channel fundraising approach, which included email, telephone and mail, they were able to significantly increase the lifetime value of Care2 leads to $11 per subscriber!

Small risk of rain forecast for Friday practice
Welcome to the first official day of the 2004 FIA Australian Grand Prix meeting here in Melbourne's Albert Park, where the weather has been cloudy, but warm enough for 27C ambient temperatures.
The general forecast is good for the whole weekend. It will be cloudy most of the time, and there is a 30 percent chance of isolated thunderstorms in the area for the first day of Formula One action tomorrow, but the temperature then should be around 26C, dropping to 21C on Saturday and raceday.
The Albert Park circuit encircles the Albert Park lake and is located in the centre of Melbourne, close to the St Kilda district. It is 5.303 km long and the race will run over 58 laps (307.574 km). It will start at 2pm local time, which is 11 hours ahead of GMT.
The circuit is largely unchanged since the 2003 race, but of interest is the fact that Australian track marshals will be assisted by marshals from the forthcoming Bahrain Grand Prix, in order to give the latter hands-on experience prior to their own event in April.
The chequered flag at the end of Sunday's race will be waved by Stephanie Sheene, widow of the motorcycle star Barry who died aged 52 in March 2003.

bought this because my dermatologist recommended this product to me. it's soo gentle, but it works in keeping my skin clean. i love the fact that it doesn't have any fancy smell to it. my skin doesn't feel dry after using this <3
I purchased this as I needed a cleanser to remove the dirt/make up from my sensitive skin.
Far from being gentle, this made my skin feel tight, sore and pink. What a waste of money! I think i'll just have to use this on my T Zone.
I love this cleanser! It gets all my make-up off and leaves my skin feeling very soft. I love the smell of it, it's nice, without being way too harsh or irritating. I have fairly sensitive skin so even using a cleanser with scent in it it amazing! I have been using this for about 6 months now (and the bottle is STILL going...) so I counter balance the price with how long it lasts. It is about $29.00 CDN at London Drugs. They regularly have sales like spend $30 and get something free so I definatly take advantage of that. It is a 400ml bottle and you only need approx half a squirt to wash up. Ask for samples !

Update: This stuff smells like rotten eggs after a couple of months. I still have about 1/3 of the bottle left. One lippie off.
I love, love this stuff. I always hesitated to buy this because I thought that rougher scrubs and cleansers were the way to go for my oily, acne-prone skin. However, after using this gentle cold cream cleanser (I wouldn't personally categorize it as cold cream in the sense that it removes all my makeup), my complexion was instantly brighter and not red or ruddy. I use this after an oil cleanser to take off makeup and it doesn't dry out my skin or leave any film. It comes in a big 400 mL pump-top bottle which is my ideal type of packaging. The consistency is a liquidy gel that foams up really well if you add a lot of water, or you can not add much water to have a minimal to no foam gel-wash. It was 29 dollars CAD before taxes. I will repurchase.
Edit: I stopped using this. This isn't that special anymore and I'm looking into more natural or organic brands.
I bought this for when my skin gets sensitive and dehydrated during the winter season, but unfortunately, this didn't seem to help at all. It seemed to dehydrate my skin further, instead of leaving it comfortable or soothed. It felt quite harsh and also didn't cleanse my skin thoroughly. This might work better for me during warmer seasons, but I would prefer using something with glycolic and salicylic acid in the summer. Won't be repurchasing this one.
This is a cold cream gel for individuals with very sensitive skin prone to irritation. It was recommended by my Derm. I did not find the gel to be any more hydrating that any other product in its class such a La Roche Posay. I also did not like the consistancy of the gel. Very borring and plain.
Product Name is: Nettoyant Surgras Cold Cream Gel
This is the way I cleanse my skin: first I apply Safflower Oil on my face and neck, then I wash off with a gentle wash-off cleanser. I've found that this is the best way to remove sunscreen and make-up without drying out my sensitive normal-dry skin (Baumann type DSNT close to DSPW). I bought this cleanser after reading the great reviews and all the recs on the Skincare board. It does its job well and would be great for someone with more normal-oily skin but it's too drying for mine. I used it from summer until early November so the 400ml lasted about 4 months. It was too drying by November where it's winter in England and the heating's on. I've gone back to my 473ml Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Cleanser which suits my skin better and lasts me about 7 months.
This comes in a very large bottle and occasionally on sale, so I can afford to also use this on my body, but normally save it for my face. It has no clogging/irritating ingredients and does not leave my combo skin more oily, just nice and clean. I use Retin A and have to use gentle products. Supposedly contains a high percentage of that wonderful thermal water. Good stuff.

I first received a sample of this from a SA at Shoppers Drug Mart, and I left it in the drawer unused all summer while I searched for the elusive perfect skin clearing-makeup-removing face wash. Since my skin started to get quite irritated from the recent dipping temperature here in Ontario, I hesitantly gave the tiny tube a try. After 5 days I went out and purchased the full size pump bottle. No other cleaner currently cleans my skin as gently as this does *without* causing breakouts. While I still have to follow with a moisturizer (currently using a mix of Avene Soothing Serum and Clinique Moisture Surge) there is simply no comparison between my skin after using this cleaner and my skin before, after using one of the multitude of cleaners for acne-prone combination skin. I will most certainly use up the full sized bottle before spring, and Ill have to decide at that time if I still need such a moisturizing cleaner during the summer months. For now, absolutely HG.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this product for the past 7 months and really like it a lot.
I had been using a cleansing oil for a long time, but had switched to Avene because cleansing oils are hard to find where I live now.
The Avene removes m/u and sunscreen really well, but it's a little drying on my dry, sensitive skin. It's not a big deal though because I spray my face w/ Avene Thermal water after washing, then immediately follow w/ a moisturizer. continued >>

Gospel Voom of Gos is about to hit the grid tomorrow (noon SLT) with a new line of shoes that will be a game changer in footwear. Am I exaggerating? No. I am hardly even touching the surface, to be honest. In the Elegance Collection there are four different mesh styles that are named after famous Hollywood legends and each shoe is without flaw. I honestly mean it, without flaw. The mesh feet that you can also purchase to wear separately are the cutest toes I have seen in SL. Listening to Gos talk and plan for the shoes for soo many months I knew they would be gorgeous, because well...he is in my personal opinion one of the best modelers in SL. I just had no idea how gorgeous they would be.
The shoes are web coded for skin matching and there are over 300 skins that you can match and more being added daily. Pretty amazing. You wear the shoes, log into the website, search for the skin you are wearing, add it to your hud by clicking 1 button, go back in world - sync the hud (1 button) and then click the swatch/number you just gave the skin and there you go. PERFECT MATCH! I tried every pair of the new shoes, with several different skins with different wind light settings and PERFECT for each one. There is also an option for a manual match if your skin isn't listed quite yet. Now listen, I am seriously challenged when it comes to computer/technical things. I only learned how to link items a few months ago and that is sadly not an exaggeration. This system is EASY. When Gos first passed the collection to me, I didn't listen to his instructions on purpose because I wanted to see if I could sort it out. I did. In minutes. My feet were perfectly matched in under 5 minutes from drop to wear.
Elysium Eilde did an amazing tutorial on YouTube that explains and shows you much better than I ever could.
Also, you REALLY want to join the Gos Boutique group because members will be given an additional 10% off.
Okay, I think that is it with the exception of all the links and stuff you will need for tomorrow.

BM is up to something...maybe?
She and her DH just moved--this has been in the works for a couple months now. Their landlord decided to sell their house, so they got a 30 day notice that their month-to-month was up. They were able to get a little more time to find a place, and the house they chose is 10 minutes farther away from us and the school SS will attend in the fall. DH was kind of ticked about this b/c THIS was their prime opportunity to move closer. Oh well--SHE is the one that will be doing all the driving. Seriously, the new house is probably 25-30 miles from the school.
Well, the last couple weeks SS has been making random comments here and there about how he is going to a new school next year. DH and I both thought that BM had finally accepted that he would be going to our district. (DH got residential custody for schooling purposes last December. So this is all court-ordered.)
Well, this is apparently NOT the case. SS is insistent that he is going to a new school and it is the school RIGHT by their new house.
THEN DH was going through some paperwork in SS's school folder, and there was a sheet that had been filled out by BM. It was sent from his current school, asking if the child would be returning to that district in the fall. BM had written "we are unsure, depends on court case."
We are both SO worried now that BM is going to re-open the school issue. Can she do that? In December, SHE and DH signed papers settling the case, and agreeing to 50-50 custody, with DH having residential for school. The papers CLEARLY state that SS is to finish 1st grade in his current school and then he will start 2nd in our district.
It just all sucks. Plain and simple, it sucks. This stress is going to be the death of both of us.
I don't think BM has ANY leverage, though. I mean, for real---she comes drunk to our house, and tries to drive with her son. Then WE take HER to court b/c of that incident. And meanwhile, she has moved FARTHER AWAY, knowing that SS is set to start school in our district in the fall.
She has nothing, right? Please reassure me.
i hope SS stays in school close to you.
I certainly am horrified of the fact that she drinks the way she does (it of course effects her poor son), also the fact that she drives drunk alone or wiht a child, and then attacks people and so forth. this woman is crazy, no good. But saying that you do not seem to have much documentation or evidence of her behavior.
her behavior when she punched you and so forth is awful but it is one incident and I wonder if in the eyes of the judge it is not enough. she might be ordered to treatment or anger management but they don't take children away because of one incident. DH was covering up for her and her alcohol addiction for too long.
If DH gets full custody (I doubt he will, not enough evidence) then BM cannot enroll SS in her district. But if it stays 50/50 then who knows what judge decides.
I don't think he will get full custody, either. He is not even ASKING for that per the attorney's advice. He is asking for BM to complete a treatment program.
"But if it stays 50/50 then who knows what judge decides."
But here's where I think (hope!) we are okay---the judge ALREADY decided. In December, the GAL recommended that SS transfer to our district. He told BM she was welcome to take it to trial, but that THAT was what he was going to recommend. SO--BM agreed to it. She signed papers, DH signed papers, the judge approved them and that was the end of it.
I'm not sure what grounds she has to modify that now. DH's attorney doesn't seem concerned about it...BUT it is still nerve-wracking.
It depends on what state you live in. Since we are going through the court crap right now, I have been brushing up on family law and several states have the same philosophy.
In an initial determination of custody, the court considers the best interests of the child. Since there was an order and if she signed, it was also an agreement on her part last December... that it's in SS best interest to go to school in DH's district. The court ordered it so they have put their stamp of approval on THAT being in the child's best interest.
In a modification, before the court considers the best interest of the child, there has to be a significant change in circumstances. BM moving is NOT a significant change in circumstance unless it affects the child. In my opinion, which means nothing really but I'll give it anyways, her move would be a negative affect to the child, rather than a positive one. She may claim it's in a nicer neighborhood.. better school, blah blah blah... but she moved the child FURTHER from his father. If she claims the move was to be closer to a job or anything having to do with HER... that is definitely NOT a change in circumstances at all. It has to be a change that affects the child... like abuse or one parent is homeless and there is nowhere for the child to live or the child is being so neglected that his schoolwork is seriously affected or he isn't being taken to school or habitually late... it has to be SIGNIFICANT. The courts don't like to revisit this crap over and over.... especially when they just heard it a few months ago and the order hasn't even been implemented to see if it works.
If she were to petition for custody, after the drunken incident, she may very well end up with less time than 50/50 BECAUSE she moved further away. SS shouldn't have to suffer less time with his father because his mother moved away when she could have moved closer. Of course, nobody can really argue that she could have moved closer because you don't want to open the door for her to argue about what YOU and DH should do....
The order says DH is residence for school. He should let the current school know and go forward with enrolling SS in your district. Don't give her any reaction at all. The burden of proving a change is on her. And I would certainly let her know that if she is going to fight to put SS in her district, DH is going to request that BM drive SS to his house during his time because nobody else should be inconvenienced because she chose to move and because she wants to have SS in her district. Now, whether she or he gets any of that... a whole other issue. I don't know the laws in your state but it's not only up to what a Judge thinks or feels, there are written laws that the Judges must adhere to. In custody cases, there is usually a lot of discretion for the Judge to have an opinion, but the law cannot be ignored. If it says there has to be a significant change... the court does have discretion regarding what that means. In my opinion... her moving is not good enough. Like I said, it may help DH if he were to say she's unstable... always moving. Of course, one move is nothing but how many times has she moved? How long does she stay in one place?
If you work on maintaining stability in your home & your life, she will eventually implode. She is an addict and probably craves chaos. If you don't give her a chance to have chaos with you, she will find it somewhere else. Unless she gets help... on her own, she will spiral downhill. It may not seem that way now, but trust me... it takes years sometimes. Of course, if she gets the help she needs, it will get better too.
What IMA said about significant change of circumstances is what I have read too. So soon after the initial order the court is not going to want to revisit the same issue (in many states anyways). So relax and discuss this with your lawyer to put your mind at ease.
Continue with enrolling ss for school in your district next year.
And if bm is moving away from that school district that ss is currently in why would she even bother putting anything about a court case affecting his enrollment for next year anyways???

Another day of searching the wooded areas of Christie Road in southern Caldwell County turned up nothing new in terms of bone recovery for investigators seeking more evidence and clues into the disappearance of 10-year-old Zahra Baker. It was four weeks ago today that the Hickory girl was reported missing by her father Adam and stepmother Elisa Baker from their home at 21 21st Ave NW in Hickory.
An unknown thief broke into a Conover business Friday and stole almost $400 in electronics. Catawba County Communications Center alerted police at 12:39 a.m. to the activation of an alarm at Radio Shack, located at 432 Conover Blvd. West in Conover. The communications center said broken glass and motion sensors activated the alarm, according to the Conover Police incident report.
College students use laptops during class to take notes, transcribe lectures and communicate with professors. At Jacobs Fork Middle School, seventh- and eighth-grade students have those opportunities years before they submit college applications. Jacobs Fork Middle is a STEM school, which focuses on implementing science, technology, engineering and mathematics concepts in the classroom. The school participates in the STEM-ICT 3-D project that allows students to learn, build and explore three-dimensional, interactive worlds on computers.
A man was found murdered Friday outside a duplex in Hickory, and police arrested a suspect they say is responsible for the man's death. Hickory Police responded to a call Friday about 9 a.m. from a resident who lives in the 1000 block of 20th Street NE, which is where the body was found. Police arrived on the scene to find a male victim dead from an apparent gun shot wound to the chest. The victim was found outside the building lying on the ground. The name of the victim hasn't been released pending notification of his family.
Catawba County's Hazardous Materials Response Team responded Friday to a reported chemical release at a Newton facility. The call was part of a training drill, which was designed to test the team's response capabilities during a major chemical release or spill. "You're always going to have some issues in training," said Ryan Monteith, HAZMAT coordinator for the Catawba County Fire and Rescue Division. "That's the goal of the drill. We're trying to get better."
Mary Belle Jarrett Huffman, 90, of Conover, passed away Thursday, Nov. 4, 2010, at her residence after a period of declining health for several years. Hickory Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
Robert Burke Goble, 90, of Hickory, died Thursday, Nov. 4, 2010, at Palliative Care Center and Hospice of Catawba Valley. Bass-Smith Funeral Home is serving the family of Robert Burke Goble.
Three teens were injured Wednesday in a single-car crash allegedly caused by a drunk driver. The accident happened about 11 p.m. on Mt. Olive Church Road near the intersection of Ruth Avenue in Newton. According to the police report, the driver of the vehicle, Melinda Cobie Carpenter, of Conover, admitted she drank six shots of liquor before getting behind the wheel. Carpenter turned 19 on Tuesday.
Jacobs Fork Middle School students itching to climb behind the wheel of a car learn how a build a skeletal vehicle years before they are eligible for a license. They use miniature gears, wheels and belts to construct working models of car transmissions during automation and robotics class. The class is part of Jacobs Fork Middle's Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) initiative, which promotes hands-on learning for professional success beyond the classroom.
A recent string of crime in Sherrills Ford could be the work of several people. At least four boat batteries were stolen since Oct. 22 from boats kept in the Sherrills Ford area. Several homes were also broken into, resulting in more than $6,800 of property stolen or damaged. Catawba County Chief Deputy Coy Reid said the battery thefts are likely the work of one person, and several other people are possibly responsible for the home break-ins.
The Catawba Valley Buccaneers went swashbuckling through another regular season. Head coach Shannon Hudson and the Buccaneers started the season with a 3-0 loss at the beginning of the season to Cape Fear Community College, but they rallied and won 10 of their next 11 matches en route to a 19-5 overall record. CVCC ended the season 12-2 in conference play and earned the top seed from the West at this weekend's Carolinas-Virginia Conference volleyball tournament at Rockingham Community College in Wentworth.

Montreal, Canada's Dancehall entertainer, Sampaloo, teamed up with 4 In The Morning's R&B artist, Sasha for a collaboration on her hit record "Encore".
While working on his new Dancehall hit with Darshan Records, based out of Atlanta, Georgia, the Dancehall entertainer took the chance to collaborate with an Urban Media Group, 4 in the Morning, who are based out of Montreal and L.A. The group has been making waves in Montreal for some time. The Montreal Dancehall king was honored when asked to collaborate on the record and after hearing Sasha's track he knew it was time to make his mark on the R&B scene.
February 22, 2014, Sampaloo was invited back on the Monaie Money stage as a special guest with Sasha to promote the new single (Monaie Money is a platform that promotes the younger generation and their talents).

4 in the Morning invited him back over the past weekend to finish off the final touches of the music video where 2010's Dancehall queen, Sade Deroche, and Montreal's video vixen, Ebo, costarred in his scene.
Sampaloo and his team take us outside of the box this year and are coming back strong while showcasing the artists' versatility. He plans to make his mark in the broader urban scene here in Montreal, as his collaboration with Reggaeton group Efigy Sound is set to release before the summer.

NEW YORK -- A federal appeals court July 1 sent back a challenge to the Pentagon's two-year-old "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law and ruled that a lower court must decide whether the constitution allows the government to treat lesbians and gay men in the military differently than non-gay servicemembers.
A three-judge panel for the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that a ban on sailors and soldiers who identify themselves as gay would be constitutional only if the government has the right to subject lesbians and gay men to different rules than those imposed on non-gay servicemembers concerning speech, relationships, and intimate conduct.
In the case brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, the court ruled on the government's appeal of the decision last year by U.S. District Court Judge Eugene Nickerson. The appeals court vacated Nickerson's ruling and remanded the case back to his Eastern District Court in Brooklyn, New York.
Lambda Legal Director Beatrice Dohrn said, "We now have the opportunity to demonstrate the unconstitutionality of a law that prohibits behavior for lesbians and gay men that is permitted and even commonplace for non-gay people -- things as simple as holding hands. The Second Circuit agreed with us that, if the military's harsher rules for gay people's behavior cannot be justified, then the entire ban must fall."
"The appeals court did not uphold the law," said Matthew Coles, director of the ACLU's Lesbian and Gay Rights Project. "Instead it reframed the question. Today's ruling puts the spotlight where it belongs: on the unequal treatment of lesbians and gay men. This is what we've been challenging from the beginning. If we're successful again at the lower court, the entire ban will be declared unconstitutional."
The case challenged the ban on behalf of six service members, none of whom were facing discharge under the policy. Nickerson rejected the policy as "Orwellian" and "inherently deceptive," and struck it down on First and Fifth Amendment grounds.

This week on CounterSpin: An independent review board has concluded that the National Security Agency's surveillance program poses threats to citizens' civil liberties, isn't really working to catch terrorists and should be ended. But while much debate centers on the data collected being misused, what about what happens if it's used as intended? We'll talk with Alfred McCoy, professor of history at the University of Wisconsin/Madison about the history of spying by the US government--and the actual reasons they do it.

I hate to sound racist but these comments below are clearly all from white people, I know that you all think that pancake flat a** is a good thing, it's not, you guys look horrible with those flat a**es your clothes are ill fitting. The best thing that ever happened to white girls were low riding jeans, I think the ones that look deformed are the ones that have absolutely no cushion. Kim is a beautiful girl with a great body and there is absolutely nothing wrong with her a**. It's so funny how white girls will go out and pay for breast but they think that if you have a big butt you are fat. Please, that girls body is smoking. Her man loves it that's for sure.
Posted at 6:27 PM on August 13, 2012
she's not smoking and as a black woman or woman of color you should be a little angry that kim wants everything but the burden of being black or latin. it's the ultimate slap in the face when a tramp has her but inflated with silicone to emulate ethnic women but wants to have nothing to do with them. she has no black friends so why stick up for her. her but is manufactured and yet you stick up for a fake whore who is anything but natural. she seems to stay relevant as long as fools like you stand up for her. she is an abomination to all women, and nothing but a trashbag. she's barely 5'2 and always taking swimsuit photo of herself to stay relevant in the media. her mother manufactured the whole "kim's an entreprenuer" image and it seems like america is sick of seeing her and kanye prance around everywhere. if they're in love – more power to them – but it would be nice if we the public didn't have to see a photo or story about them daily. she's not doing anything productive to solve any of the world's problems (like hunger, literacy, domestic violence, etc.) all she's doing is taking pictures of her short and dumpy self and posting it online.

You are truly a dumb b*tch. Did you read what you just wrote? why would I be offended as a black woman that she has a big butt, we do not corner the market on big butts, lips or anything else, Kim may be white but she is ethnic and if you know anything about armenian women they are very shapely women. Khloe has a curvy shape and as little as Kourtney is she is also very curvy, even Rob has a big butt, it is inherited, if you look at pics of Kim K from back in the early 2000's she has a big butt, so I don't know why people think that her butt cannot be natural and if it is not it is no offense to me as a black woman. Just like white women have been going for years and getting breast implants and lip injections, that does not offend me, hell let them do what they want, we don't corner the market on anything. You clearly do not know Kim Kardashians. She has no black friends? most of her friends are black or latina La La Vasquez, Kelly Rowland, Serena Williams, Trina, Mel B, and I could name many more. Please tell me what you are doing to make the world better, because the hate that you are putting into the universe is sure not doing anyone any good. You have a choice to not click on the post of Kim K, there are several other post on this site, but YOU chose to click on the one with her, so if you are so tired of them keep it moving. You are the type of b*tch that has HATER written all over them, every single thing that you said came from a place of jealousy and hate and it is so obvious, if you were not a hater you would not have gone out of your way to click and comment on someone that you don't like that takes time and effort and that's what haters do, it's their full time job. You showed your hand hater. Have a seat, and don't ever tell me what I should be concerned about as a black woman.

Tracy, it's not a racist comment, (but it is if you keep using the white word). Clearly is a distinction of what society we come from. In
Africa, for example, all tribes have their own depiction of what is hot, ie; colors, razor body cuts, body piercing. but, in our society it is stressed that "fat" is not good for you, and that is what Kims Butt is "fat" and altered. Since she seems to be attracted to African American descent males,then she's right -up-their-alley.

Judge Jaroslovsky
Memorandum of Decision Re: Late Claim in Chapter 12 Case

Memorandum of Decision Re: Late Claim in Chapter 12 Case
Printer-friendly version
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA In re DOROTHY PAMLYN KELLY, No. 1-88-00271 Debtor. Chapter 12 ______________________/
Memorandum of Decision
Prior to the debtor's Chapter 12 filing, creditor Sharon Kennedy obtained a state court judgment against the debtor and a nondebtor codefendant in the amount of approxomately $120,000.00. The debtor filed her petition on February 17, 1988. On February 24, 1988, the clerk gave notice that in order for a creditor to share in distribution it must file a proof of claim by June 14, 1988. The notice was duly served on Kennedy, and her counsel admits that he received it from her in a timely manner. Kennedy did not file a proof of claim until October 18, 1988, some four months after the bar date and the day after the debtor's plan was confirmed. The successor to Kennedy's claim rights, Affiliated Development Company ("ADC"), now seeks to share in distributions notwithstanding the lateness of its claim. ADC makes two arguments in support of its position. First, it argues that the time to file claims should be extended pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9006(b)(1) due to "excusable neglect" on the part of Kennedy's counsel. Second, it argues that letters written by Kennedy's counsel to the debtor's counsel on March 10 and March 14, 1988, constituted amendable "informal" proofs of claim. The Court can deal summarily with the "excusable neglect" argument, as there has been no showing of any excuse whatsoever for the neglect to file a claim. The declaration of Kennedy's counsel only recites that he was under the mistaken impression that he had filed a proof of claim, without stating any reasons why he had such an impression. For neglect to be excusable, it must have been caused by some agency or sequence of events which might have led any reasonably prudent person to make the same mistake. Here, counsel attributes his failure to file a timely claim to nothing more than a mistaken belief without any explanation as to how this belief came about. There is nothing upon which the Court can base a finding that such neglect was excusable. Under the fairly liberal requirements of this circuit, it is clear that the letters sent to debtor's counsel had sufficient content to be deemed informal proofs of claim.
In re Franciscan Vineyards, Inc.
(9th Cir.1979) 597 F.2d 181, 182. The crucial issue, however, is whether the letters can be considered proofs of claim if sent to the debtor's counsel in a Chapter 12 case. The procedural basis for allowing an informal proof of claim is Bankruptcy Rule 5005(b), which allows the court to deem as properly filed papers mistakenly sent to certain specified court officers, including the trustee and trustee's counsel. To constitute an amendable proof of claim, the writing must have been sent to one of these officials.
In re Anderson-Walker Industries, Inc.
(9th Cir.1986) 798 F.2d 1285, 1288 (construing old Rule 509(c), the predicessor to Rule 5005(b)). The issue here is whether the debtor's attorney was such an official. A debtor's attorney in a Chapter 7 case is clearly not a court official for purposes of Rule 5005(b); in cases under that chapter, the debtor's knowledge of the claim is irrelevant.
In re Smith Atlantic Financial Network
(11th Cir.1985) 767 F.2d 814, 819. Likewise, it has been held that debtor's counsel in a Chapter 13 case is not a person encompassed by Rule 5005(b).
In re Stern
(Bkrtcy.E.D.Pa.1987) 70 B.R. 472. On the other hand, a debtor in possession in Chapter 11 has the same powers and duties as a trustee pursuant to section 1107(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and is therefore deemed to be a court official for Rule 5005(b) purposes.
In re Sambo's Restaurants, Inc.
(9th Cir.1985) 754 F.2d 811, 815. The Court must therefore decide if a Chapter 12 debtor is more like a Chapter 11 debtor than a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 debtor. The Court concludes that a Chapter 12 debtor, like a Chapter 11 debtor, is to be considered a "trustee" for purposes of Rule 5005(b), and hence a letter to debtor's counsel may be an amendable proof of claim. While there is a separate trustee appointed in Chapter 12 cases, the debtor is still called a debtor in possession, and section 1203 of the Code gives the Chapter 12 debtor the same powers as a debtor in possession in Chapter 11. Having determined that the letters sent to debtor's counsel may be amendable proofs of claim does not mean that they are automatically deemed as such; the rule is permissive, not mandatory. If there has been significant prejudice to the debtor or the other creditors in reliance on the formal claims, such as confirmation of a plan which would become unfeasible or unlawful if the informal claim is allowed, the court may still exercise its discretion to disallow the claim.
In re Sambo's Restaurants
, supra, at 816. The Court will hold an evidentiary hearing on the issue of prejudice on June 16, 1989, at 10:00 A.M. All direct testimony at said hearing shall be in the form of declarations filed and served at least seven days before the hearing. Declarants shall be available in court for cross-examination unless such appearance is waived by the opposing party. If the Court finds no significant prejudice, it will allow the claim; if there has been significant prejudice, the claim will be disallowed.

NBA Salaries index |
Glossary of terms used on salary pages: Player option: Player has the option to extend the contract to already dictated terms. Team option: Team has the option to extend the contract to already dictated terms. Early termination option: Same principle as player option, but with some subtle differences that aren't particularly important, and aren't interesting unless you're unfathomably keen for this sort of thing. Qualifying offer: The amount of money the team has to extend as a contract offer to a player to make them a restricted free agent. Player can choose to accept the offer, or do all manner of other things. All players with three years or less experience that are becoming free agents are eligible, with the exception of players who were on a rookie scale contract who didn't make it the full four years due to having one or both of their team option years declined. Unguaranteed: Contracts that aren't fully guaranteed. Obviously. Details of how much or how little is guaranteed is usually to be found by holding the mouse over the player name. Note that contracts listed as having "no guarantee date" are still bound by the league-wide contract guarantee date of January 10th - it means only that that contract has no guarantee date specific to it other than that one. Not on roster: Player is still on the team's salary figure, but not on the roster. For example, people who were on the roster but who were cut for lack of skill, or players who took buyouts. Note: this is only for salaries which the team has on its salary figure - that is, players who retired due to injury and whom had their salaries removed from the team salary figure are NOT listed. Mauve: A sort of purple colour. In all cases, hold your mouse over a player's name for more information. Qualifying offers NOT included in team salary totals at any point, for they are not committed salary. |

I don't know about you guys, but i am a person that likes to play many different types of heroes with different setups. Having a max rune cap greatly narrows down my chances of playing newer and different hero setups. If not removal, at least up the limit to something higher, seeing as there are not enough room to even keep runes for future builds. Right now i barely have enough room to keep the runes that fit in my 3 pages. I don't even see the reasons for having the maximum rune cap in the first place. Also, is there any way to remove runes? I did not know that i should not buy tier1 and tier2 runes in the beginning and now i have two tier1/2 runes that just sit there and i can't get rid of them
Senior Member
try to combine? or already did?
cant combine a tier1 rune with a tier2 rune ( I am assuming you were talking about my cry about the leftover tier1/2 runes. If you're talking about my total runes i have combined and gotten the runes i wanted for my builds in the 2 pages already, i can't get the last 3 runes for my third page since im at max rune capacity. It's also frustrating to know that if i want to try a diff build i would have to sacrifice one of my page's runes and it would take me another 1-2 hours of combining to get it back )
To remove tier 1/2 runes: Get a new stack. Let's say you have... 8 T1 runes after getting new. Combine them 2 and 2 until you have 5 of them. Then do a 5rune combine, and voila, last one's gone. I want to be able to carry more runes as well. Atleast increase the cap. The 90 runes you can carry is exactly enough to fill 3 pages, but not a rune more.
I have same problem have with runes. "REMOVE" button will be nice or at least remove all When i was Combinerring and i have 92 points when 90 is max dont know is it a bug or not
The 90 rune cap is most likely not part of the rune system, it is part of the beta. With a Get Runes button that gives you a dozen runes every time you click it, there needs to be a cap to prevent people from killing the LoL servers purely by grabbing too many runes.
A remove button would be nice while they iron out the system. That or drop it entirely until it is more usable.
I'm guessing the 90 is a limit for the beta but could we get any headups on what the limit will be once the game ships? Maybe there wont be a limit, but if there is one then please have it alot higher since atm. its almost impossible to test some things. Atm. I have alot of crti/haste/lowercd runes, and then for extra I have some dodge, and a minor amount of APgain. If I wanted to test a tank for runes with armor/hp then I would have to give up something else and if I don't like that then I have destroyed alot of crit/hast. Right now I play my tanks with dodge/lowercd since I already have that for some dps, but I get the feeling that I'm geting hindered by the system. The 3 pages are great but since Im so limited in the number of runes I can have I still can't really use it.

Cs-corrected high-resolution imaging & high-sensitivity analysis with unmatched throughput In the fields ranging from R&D to quality control of advanced nano materials and semiconductor devices, there have been increased demands in recent years for improving spatial resolution and analytical performance for electron microscopes. Aberration correction provides a prominent solution to these demands. Hitachi High-Technologies had previously commercialized electron microscopes equipped with spherical aberration correction capability, since then continued efforts toward pursuing the concept of providing both high throughput and high performance benefited from aberration correction. The HD-2700 STEM with the newly developed Hitachi spherical aberration corrector realized this concept successfully.
