HP has agreed to pay $55 million to settle a US investigation of false billings.
The money is going to be used to clear up allegations that HP paid others so they would recommend its products to government buyers. Two whistleblowers filed claims in the US court in 2004 - the Justice Department joined the case and filed its own complaint in 2007.
The money will also be put into resolving claims that a 2002 contract between HP and the General Services Administration, the US government's chief procurement body, was defectively priced because HP provided incomplete information to it.
Gina Tyler, a HP spokeswoman, said in a statement: "HP denies engaging in any illegal conduct in connection with these matters.
"We believe it is in the best interest of our stakeholders to resolve the matter and move beyond this issue."
The US earlier settled similar kickback allegations involving EMC, IBM, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Computer Sciences Corp.
A spokesman for the US Department of Justice said the the government would always take action against outfits seeking "to taint the government procurement process with illegal kickbacks".
''Contractors must deal fairly with the government when doing business with federal agencies," he added.
According to Auntie, HP said the size of the payout would affect earnings on its shares, which now could suggest why former winer and diner of soft porn stars and ex CEO Mark Hurd wanted to flog all his $30 million worth. We were wondering what the story was when we heard yesterday.
*EyeSee - Rejected straplines: "Hurd it on the grapevine," "Do you really want to Hurd me".

It really is on the bottom of every single piece of commodity trading literature, just about every commodity expense advertisement, as demanded by the New York Stock Exchange, the National Futures Association, and so on...
WARNING Only danger richesse ought to be applied for this variety of trading. CFTC rule 4.41, the official title of an additional set of warnings to the investor, may as well be Place 51 when it arrives to investors caring the warning!
Above my CTA/trading vocation, I have talked to numerous traders just beginning their quests for riches and also numerous of them method the industry with "income they've saved up" for the intent of speculation.
That may be all well and superior, but ahead of you start on your journey of ache and enjoyment, get a person matter straight. You happen to be heading to get psychological... just HOW emotional will be largely a function of whether your chance richesse is "easily losable," when you are confronted with a binary options strategy step back again on your street to profit.
The far more psychological and emotional expense you have in not seeking to eliminate your stake, the a lot more you are likely to eliminate it.
Ok. You've got obtained a buying and selling technique you like.
You've got back-examined it.
You like.
You do some "worst situation" math. "Why don't we see, with the stake I am heading in with, if I retain my losses to a greatest of X bucks, then to drop my stake, I'd have to have 20 losers in a row."
"Under no circumstances transpire."
Seasoned traders are laughing to themselves reading this due to the fact they know that if you have to do this kind of math, then your probabilities of surviving and prospering are slim to none.
It can be like the man who counts his chips at the blackjack table...
These that are as well involved about each and every chip are generally participating in afraid. And you know what occurs to scared funds.
Indeed, it binary options strategy flows into the pockets of the assured. And that is the position of this text exercising.
If you do not Genuinely have an "If it's gone it truly is gone, and it would not have an impact on my way of life in the least" mindset, you are not developing the ideal chance to win.
I'm not saying that you should just take a flippant mindset towards losing or winning. I am stating that the much more shedding your income has emotional which means the considerably less likelihood you have of succeeding.
Stock (Forex, Futures and possibilities...) trading must ideally be aspect of a blend of diversified investments.
Who am I kidding?!
Most of the newbie traders I occur across barely have their expenses covered and are seeking for a way to break out of the economic doldrums.
Enter Ken Roberts, and all the gurus telling you your dream is possible for a stake of $3,000. And probably it is for the Number of, the Proud trade binary options and the Fortunate.
But not for most. Why?
Afraid money.
To win, your interest ought to be centered on the method of trading, not on just about every win and every single loss. If you really don't take care of investing like a business, and make certain it truly is well funded, you can expect to wind up the way of the Edsel (inquire an older buddy if you do not know that term).
In the end, it truly is all about frame of mind and you mental energy of conviction to observe your examined buying and selling method.
If you're beneath-capitalized, your conviction will waiver as dread creeps in.
You are going to hesitate when your system presents you the green gentle and you'll get your profit too early. Your gentle will dim and in the conclude, soon after blaming market place situations, your light will go out.
No matter if you happen to be going to "fake it until you would make it", or you have ample money to commence with, you greater have your psychological wits about you.

SpiderTech Precuts
What are SpiderTech Precuts?
SpiderTech Precuts are ready-to-apply kinesiology tape, designed and cut for specific body parts. No measuring, cutting or special training is necessary to apply them. Simply remove the backing and apply according to the step-by-step instructions included in every package. Online instructional videos are also available showing exactly how to apply each SpiderTech application.
Who should use Precut SpiderTech Tape?
Anyone wishing to relieve pain and inflammation, accelerate healing from injuries, or enhance athletic performance should be using SpiderTech Tape. The lightweight, single use packages fit easily into a sports bag or trainer's kit. They display well for resale in clinics, training facilities or pro shops. The easy-to-understand application instructions allow virtually anyone to use SpiderTech successfully, including athletes, family members, coaches, trainers and therapists.
How are SpiderTech Precuts packaged?
Each Spider Tech precut kinesiology taping "spider" is individually packaged and contains complete step by step application instructions. Each single-use application is designed to be worn for 3-5 days. The Wrist Spider and Small Lymphatic Spider come with two applications in each package – all others contain one.
What are the advantages of Spider Tech Precuts?
All SpiderTech applications are machine cut from a single, wide roll of tape. Every edge is finished, greatly reducing the fraying around the edges that occurs when applications are hand-cut from rolls of tape. This increase the wear time over applications cut from rolls of tape. The backing on each application is serrated, allowing it to be removed one section at a time. This allows for more accurate stretching and placement of each section. Each section on the backing is also numbered, making it simple to follow the step-by-step instructions included in each package. These features reduce application time by approximately 80%, compared to cutting and applying kinesiology tape from a roll.

Clio is a city in Genesee County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The city is considered a suburb of Flint and is located entirely within Vienna Township, but is administratively autonomous. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 2,646. Originally named Varney after the city's first grain buyer, its name was changed in 1864 to Clio. The name change was brought on by Colonel Hill, a literary minded local hotel owner. Colonel Hill convinced the local ladies to name the town after the Greek goddess Clio, muse of history and poetry and daughter of Jupiter.[1] On July 23, 2007 Governor Jennifer Granholm announced Clio as a community chosen by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), to take part in the Blueprints for Downtowns program. Clio will receive a comprehensive, market-driven strategy toward developing an action-oriented downtown that will result in economic growth, job creation and private investments. The Blueprints for Downtowns award, were announced to be also received by the communities of Caro and Ypsilanti. Scottville received a similar award to take part in the Cool Cities Michigan Main Street program. [edit] Research Tips

Home sweet home is a nice sentiment, but for many people -- especially children -- home can make them sick. Millions of homes still contain lead-based paint. Nothing sweet about that. Allergens, mold, dust and tobacco smoke can be health concerns, too. Not to mention pesticides, plastics and even unsafe wiring. It's time to talk about being safe at home. We'll tell you how, Wednesday at 9 on 90.3.

Viagara - Sorry long
Here's my issue a few months back my hubby (45) had a physical, everything was fine, but he did speak to the doctor due to sometimes having problems maintaining an erection. This has never caused us any problems just not as firm but still very do-able (lol). Anyways the doctor gave him a perscription for Viagra, we have had sex at least 25-30 times since then and he has only used 1 pill and to me that was just his curiousity. Anyways our marriage of 17 1/2 years have been on the rocks for the last few months to the point of him saying he doesn't know whether we should work on it. For the last month he has made a full turn around saying he is willing to give 110% to this marriage, things have been going pretty good but I was very hurt through all this. Anyways to get to the point today I was out moving stuff in our garage and found an empty pack of Viagara (not from his perscription) so I am assuming the doctor gave him a sample pack. I am livid right now. I don't believe (and maybe I am just being naive) he is or was having an affair because he calls each night when he leaves work and is home right from then. Never goes out at any other time. Now having said that he did just go away for 11 days to his hometown (which I call Trampville) but swears on mine and his childrens' lives that he did not cheat or cross any lines. The blister pack was not in the box so I pray he can show it to me or I think that after all I have went through in these last few months I am going to end our marriage. I can't take anymore hurt. He cheated on me 11 years ago (in Trampville)and I stayed if I find out he cheated again he is gone. He is at work now and I will be confronting him when he gets home.
Well, I hope you get a satisfactory and believable explanation - keep us posted. But if he denies it, then what? Suspicion is a terrible thing. How will you know if he is telling the truth or not? Maybe he took the pills when he was with you? There is really no way for you to know for sure. If he denies it and you choose to disbelieve him and end the marriage - well, what if you were wrong? There are children here, also, how old are they?
One more thing - if he took the pills in Trampville, why would he bring an empty pack back home and put them in the garage? It seems to point to his using them at home, I think.
turkeytrott -
You might want to take a "wait and see" approach on this one.
You mentioned that DH has been unfaithful once to you in the past. It is understandable that you might have some issues with trust but it has been quite some time since that incident.
Wondering, did you ask to go with him on his visit out of town? Did he say yes or no. If he said "yes" then that is a good sign.
If you want to and can, why not go with him?
Try not to jump to conclusions yet.
So here's what happened...I asked him to explain why I would find this empty pack in the garage he said the doctor had given it to him and that they were in his truck all but 1 of them which he claimed he used with me to see if it seemed any different, that is what he said when he wanted one from the ones' I bought. I do not believe that he needed to try one from each pack to see if it made a difference and my biggest issue is that he hadn't told me the doctor gave them to him and instead had me spend over $100.00 on the pack I picked up ,(we do not have much money to waste) He knows that I do not accept secrets or lies and due to all the hurt he has caused me lately I feel that this was wrong for him to keep from me, there is other little lies I have caught him in recently. Anyways he stormed out of our room saying you believe what you want and that I always have to be right I did not raise my voice and he would not even let me finish a sentence. Then he slept on the couch. I said then maybe we should just file for a seperation and he said go ahead. I am so tired of feeling pain. Yes we have 4 kids one is moved out the others are 17,16 and 12. I wish he was willing to talk I don't even know if he read my letter although he says he did I gave it to him this morning at 2 when he was playing on the computer. Where the heck do we go from here ?
So here it is now friday we haven't spoke since tuesday night when he blew up at me and he finally spoke to me for 5 minutes this morning, we were suppose to go out of town to see our oldest daughter and grandson tomorrow and he asked if I was still going I said yes that I had put off going for the last 2 months to try and save our marriage. Our Grandson is 4 months old and it has been a long time since I saw him. He has not come home either night from work but it wasn't too late when he did. So although I did not accuse him of anything and he is the one that got angry it seems we are at a stalemate, I am not willing to kiss his a$$ anymore. So today I picked up our court papers we will probably have to continue living in the same house due to finances,yeah by the way he came back to our bedroom Wednesday night even though we hadn't said a word to each other. I love him dearly and this is really killing me but I am tired of beating a dead horse. I am going to rearrange my house when I return so that he sleeps in the spare room. Can anyone give me advice about trying to live together but apart emotionally.
That's probably the worst choice (living together but apart emotionally) you could make. Either leave him or don't. You're still living in limbo.
If I'm remembering your other post correctly... your relationship is full of drama. It wouldn't surpise me a bit if your husband were having an affair but at the same time, I think you are highly contributing to your rocky marriage. You either need to trust him or not. This counting his pill thing (and other demands about not going to trampville, etc) has got to stop. If he is not cheating on you, I can only imagine that you may be driving him to want to.
It obvious you want to stay together but are getting to the point with your ultimanums that you have nothing left to bargain with. Your husband is probably so sick of your drama that at this point that he may be hoping that you leave him.
Personally I would use what little money you have and get a PI or tail him yourself to see if he is having an affair. If you don't find any REAL evidence, then drop the shenanigans, ultimatuns and accusations once and for all and let him live in peace.
Did if ever occur to you that maybe he is embarassed that he is taking viagra and is maybe going to act like he isn't/doesn't have to take it that much even though he needs it? Maybe that's why he got more medicine than you were aware of. Leave the guy some pride and dignity.
I'm not sure if this was addressed on the other post, but I believe you would benefit from some counseling. I doubt you ever got over his cheating on you years ago and I think it is tearing up your marriage. I think if you could come to terms with it, you may be able to more forward in a more positive direction with your marriage.
Other possibility... your husband is a big pig and has been and will continue to cheat on you forever. In that case, you can either accept him as he is and choose to stay with him (STD's and all), or you can choose to totally leave him. You're not really going to welcome his girlfriends into the house your both living in or subject yourself to wondering where he is on the nights he doesn't come home? Please, that will only drive you crazy.
my BF lived with ex in the same house but emotionally separate waiting for kids to grow up and leave the house, they got divorced right away as kids were out of the house.
He is angry and bitter now that he agreed to that, same with her, they feel they wasted the best years of their lives, kids do not appreciate it, she ended up having an affair and he ended up taking up alchohol.
They both wished they never did it and either tried to fix their marriage or got divorced early in life. It did a lot of emotional damage to them and their children. And it also effects their personal lives and relationships with new partners now.
I don't know the truth of the matter. Do know that I was once married to an inherently jealous woman. (Yes, there were signs during courtship, too. Didn't heed them.) Her suspicions and confrontations poisoned the union thoughout. Unlike your case there was no basis for them in reality whatsoever. I never lied to her about anything and never did anything or acted in any way that would make any normal person think I would even consider it. It was, perhaps, the major reason I bailed. I might as well have lied and had affairs because the price was the same regardless.
If you can't believe what he says or trust his behavior, get out of there. If you decide you can/will, then take it off the table and never mention it again. Nobody wants to live with a harpie. If you can't put this to bed between you, I don't see much hope.
I have to disagree, respectfuly. I don't see this wife as obsessively jealous or a "harpie" - she has had her trust broken before and what is love, if not trust? This festering wound is at the bottom of all their interactions.
My take is that until she deals (THEY deal) with this old baggage she can't trust or be a really loving wife nor he a trustworthy and truly loving husband. There is an elephant in the room! I hope they will go to couseling, or if he refuses, she will go because trust issues can extend to her future relationships, either with the present husband or future men.
As far as legal papers and separate bedrooms, they are just throwing rocks at each other right now, because they are expressing hurt and anger. Don't point a gun unless you mean to fire it, don't get a divorce started unless you mean to go through with it. Right now they need a referee to get the communication going and to sort out fact from suspicions. How else will they ever know if they did the right thing or threw it all away because of unfounded doubt?
It's me again things are the same and yes I do plan on going through with the divorce, no I am not a drama queen and we had 11 absolutely wonderful years since his affair and if you read the post right it says I don't believe (and maybe I am just being naive) he is or was having an affair. I believe he is going through some mid life crisis I feel like I am living with Dr. Jekyl, Mr Hyde I have asked him to go to see someone by his self or with me and he says no doesn't really believe in it and after his affair we did go to counseling. I would say we had a better marriage after his affair then before. It's the hurt and the lies that are causing this to end and you can believe whatever you want about me but I have not once yelled or said anything hurtful to him and also I asked him to explain why this was kept a secret,he got this pack before he told me he wanted out,and obviously this does not affect his dignity or he would have went and filled his own perscription not gave it to me to do. He has been a wonderful man for so many years that all this hurt has seemed to come out of left field. I just can't handle lies and secrets I feel that is too much, I have never kept a secret or told a lie to him. He has put me down so much over the last two months it is crazy and prior to that never has he said cruel things to me I really believe he is having some kind of crisis and won't seek help. I would do anything to have the man back I lived with 3 months ago but he seems to be gone and I can't keep this up all by myself. I am booking an appointment to see somebody by myself not to try to save what we had but to try to let go of him with a little more self respect and dignity of my own.I will always love him, have for 30 years but it is time to let go.
If you've really only had problems for the last 3 months why not stick it out; maybe he's just going through a bout of depression or something similar or maybe you are the one going through the bout and aren't really aware of it.
I'm just not sure what you are so mad about with him all the time. Without knowing he is lying or what he has lied about, why are you divorcing him? I know you may not think you are being a drama queen but if you re-read your last post (and probably the one(s) before it, it seems like you are always leaving him. Why are you divorcing him? 3 months of him being "off" (maybe going through a midlife crisis) is nothing to leave him over especially if you love him and have no real proof of any wrong doing. And suggesting you will still live together... that's just more crazy drama in itself. I think sweeby hit the nail on the head with her last post on the thread below. Have you considered her advice?
Here is a link that might be useful: Other Post
Sometimes, we can be our own worst enemies. Our insecurities, and behavior cause the very situation that we feared the most.
I think that before you do anything, you need to get away alone for a week or two. And you need to really think through, what you are doing. You have not healed from the past. Like someone who had something traumatic happen to them, sometimes the trauma reappears many years later. Perhaps this is what is happening here. I am sure it did not help that he wanted to return to the place where the betrayal occurred, alone, to see his family. It re-ignited all of the trauma, fears, insecurity, emotions, etc. that have been pushed aside, to raise your family. But it lurked in the shadows, like an elephant in the room.
But his motives were probably innocent. He may have wanted to simply go "home", and be with his family, as he was when he was a child growing up. You would have changed the dynamics. Especially if you have "issues" with his family. I can understand wanting to be alone with your childhood family. And simply "be".
Your wanting to go, was not because you wanted to spend time with his family. It was because this is where the trauma occurred. And it brought all of your old wounds to the surface. The fear, the insecurities, the what-ifs.
But it appears that your behavior and response is bringing about that which you fear the most.
Find someone to talk all of this through. Your emotions are what they are, and you need someone to talk to that can help you make sense of it all, and actually heal. It sounds like your DH loves you. You love him. You have children and a family counting on you two to somehow repair the damage that was done to your marriage. Do the work (through counseling) to bring about healing, so that you will both find peace.
Post after post has said that this doesn't make sense. That is a clue that your emotions may be guiding you down the wrong path. This is a time where I believe that you need someone to talk to, before you make one of the biggest mistakes of your life.
Spend some time on the step parent forum. Do you really want to push your DH into the arms of someone else, and go down that path? Do you want that for your children?
Go and clear your head, and think through very carefully the path you are "choosing". Sometimes, our emotions lie to us. And sometimes, they are clues that something is wrong. If your DH cannot be trusted, than sweeby is right. But if he once made a mistake, and has lived an honorable life since, than you are making a huge mistake, and I think you will regret throwing away your marriage, on fear.
Tread very, very slowly here.

The New and Improved Art Thread
Well, at least new... by popular request (okay, KatG asked), a new thread to highlight some artwork.
Let's start off with a big one, my first attempt at a steampunk image. It's called, "You Can't Run Forever, Contessa..."
October 15th, 2009, 02:48 AM #2
Part steampunk, part cowboy.
I think you need to think more Victoriana... the girl is looking sensational but the guy is all wrong, just quietly.
Waistcoats, top hats, walking sticks, gentlemen/mad scientists, with gadgetry made from copper pipes and clockwork, and the dog is just a standard robot... we need to see its clockwork guts. I don't know what the girl in leathers with the swimming goggles is there for. Need long coats, driving hats, flying leathers, clothes of an English Victorian-era adventure hound.
Here's a photo of a steampunk bad dude:

Explain the title, please. She doesn't appear to be running from anything at all; she appears to be ready to blow whoever has the temerity to interfere with her immediate plans all to hell and back. And he looks...how does he look? He looks androgynous. I do approve of the knee pads, though, It's so easy to bang your knees when you are trying to save the beautiful woman.
Sheepie: I recognize that arm and that watch. They are both your property. Now you're passing yourself off as steamed punk? What kind of dish is that?
October 15th, 2009, 05:48 PM #4
My arm is thin, my wrist and hands are bony and witchlike and my skin is a strange shade of khaki having decided that tan is just too much to ask for and from now on, some kind of shade resembling dirt is all it can come up with... that is a nicely-tanned fleshy boy arm... not mine.
Steampunk is a dish best served cold.Last edited by Rocket Sheep; October 15th, 2009 at 05:56 PM.

I agree that the dog seems a bit off -- it's too comic looking maybe for the picture. The bald guy could use a mustache. But other than that, it's a really interesting picture.
October 15th, 2009, 07:43 PM #6
Interestingly enough, on the art sites people really seem to like the dog... The guy has a goatee but it got lost behind his big collar, so yeah a moustache would have been good. I agree that a more Victorian outfit for him would have been better, but we still have a dearth of male outfits relative to female outfits (by about a 20:1 ratio). So getting any decent male clothes at all is a challenge.
October 17th, 2009, 04:35 PM #7
I like the robot dog, it just looks like he's smiling and happy and since no one else in that picture looks at all happy, it seems out of place. More facial hair on the guy!
October 18th, 2009, 11:33 PM #8
You will all be pleased to know (well, okay, mildly interested to know) that I have re-done the Steampunk picture and re-posted it above (if you're still seeing the western-looking guy, refresh your browser). I've replaced the western guy with a much more steampunk-looking guy. I've also given him a little robotic nasty as a counterpart to the cute robotic dog (whom I've also re-colored).
October 19th, 2009, 01:07 AM #9
You're saying steampunk... but you can't have steampunk without clockwork and copper tubing... I don't care how cute the creatures are... I can't see their cogs and windups and brassy bits and steam tubes... so they're not steampunk. Dr Who's dog looks more steampunkish that that one.
The longer coat with the top hat is better... but leather was only worn by those chaps in their incredible flying machines in the Victorian era... and those are not flying leathers on that girl with kneepads... even if those are flying goggles.
Mine is not a complaint about the quality of the image... it's about the genreness of it.

I think Kevin needs to buy the steampunk add-on... he's a few cogs short of a steampunk at the moment, just quietly.

This next one is all Sheepie's fault. She likes the dark and gritty, but I like the soft and pretty. My steampunk wasn't gritty or punky enough, so now we go the other way. This one is much more my natural style, somewhere between Alma-Tadema and Maxfield Parrish. It's called "My Heart Sails With Thee." (I told you all I'm an incurable romantic...)
October 20th, 2009, 12:07 PM #14
I like the revamped steampunk better. You can see the tubing on the robot dog's belly, so I don't know what Sheepie is complaining about. It seems steampunk to me.
The romantic one, I like her dress, but the picture is sort of enh for me. Maybe if we could see part of her face? (I keep editing your pictures, sorry about that.) I do like these wide panascapes you're doing now.

National survey reveals surprising answers for where tax refunds will be spent
POSTED: Friday, April 6, 2012 - 8:00am
UPDATED: Friday, April 6, 2012 - 8:04am
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — Credit card companies, banks and anyone who generally extends credit will like hearing what most Americans plan to do with tax refunds this year.
"Forty-two percent of Americans say they plan to use that windfall from Uncle Sam to pay off their debt, pay down bills," says Farnoosh Torabi of Yahoo Finance.
Yahoo Finance who, along with Fitness Magazine surveyed 2,000 people on their spending and saving habits and found most would rather be financially than physically fit.
Torabi says that in this economy it is cash that is king.
As far as advice going forward, Torabi suggest you adjust your withholdings if you're getting a refund of three thousand dollars or more.
"If you're getting anything higher than that, that probably means you're paying the IRS too much out of every single paycheck," said Torabi.

OverviewThe Knowlton Visiting Scholar Program brings together faculty and students from various departments to promote interdisciplinary discussion and scholarship. The marquee event is the Charles W. Knowlton Law & Liberal Arts Lecture, which is also open to the public and features internationally known scholars from a variety of disciplines. Current LectureThe 2014 Knowlton Scholar is legal philosopher Jeremy Waldron, who holds professorships at both New York University and Oxford University. His lecture, "Deep Morality and the Laws of War" was delivered on Thursday, March 27 in the School of Law auditorium. During the lecture, Waldron will explore the role of moral philosophy in evaluating the laws and customs of armed conflict. View a recording of the lecture. A Brief HistoryIn 1989, professors Nathan Crystal of the Law School and the late Ferdinand Schoeman of the Philosophy Department collaborated to develop the concept of an interdisciplinary visiting scholar program. With the support of the Deans of their respective colleges, two seminars took place. In 1989 Professor Robert Post of the University of California at Berkeley led a seminar on "Community and Liberalism: Problems with Free Speech and Privacy." In 1990 Professor Deborah Rhode of Stanford Law School conducted a seminar on "The Impact of Feminist Theory on Law, the Humanities, and Social Science." The next year family and friends of distinguished Columbia attorney Charles Wilson Knowlton began establishment of an endowment in his memory to support the program, which is now known as the Charles Knowlton Law and Liberal Arts Visiting Scholar Program. The lecture is made possible by generous support from the Knowlton Family; Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd, P.A.; and the many friends and associates of Charles Knowlton who admired his outstanding contributions to the legal profession.

Liz is a member of Residential Home Funding's Consumer Direct team, operating out of the corporate headquarters in Parsippany, NJ. She began her career in consumer lending in 2003, after almost 20 years in hospitality. Her customer service mentality, combined with an ability to "think outside the box", makes her an exceptional loan officer. What sets her apart is her philosophy. She says, "It takes dedication and patience to establish a relationship with each and every client. Only when I understand what is truly important to someone will I advise him or her on an appropriate course of action to address his/her unique needs." She chose RHF as her professional home because of its untarnished reputation for integrity and customer service, as well as its enormous arsenal of available loan products. "If a solution exists, not only do we have it available here, but we do it better and faster than anyone else!"
Liz credits her prior career in restaurant/hospitality for her customer service mentality and for her people skills. She left that industry in search of a more flexible schedule that would enable her to be available to enjoy her children. "Residential mortgages make it possible for me to have a huge impact on my clients' lives while still enjoying every minute of my boys' activities with them. They are 10 and 12, and between baseball, football, basketball, band, and regular school, there's always something going on. It's not unusual for me to be on my phone or laptop conducting business while watching baseball practice. I love it!" This flexibility enables Liz to be as available as she needs to be when her clients' situations require it. "You never know if someone will find their dream home on Sunday at 7pm and need a customized preapproval letter immediately. I don't expect to work 9-5, and my willingness to come through in a pinch is why my clients send me their friends and family."

What do you think should be added, or not added, to the Bluffton Oyster Factory Park in a $2 million, four-year improvement project -- or on top of that?
The town will ask residents their thoughts on a revised draft conceptual plan in September, tentatively at a Sept. 10 workshop at Town Hall. Start the conversation here. For a look at the plans and what's behind them, see the cover story in the Sunday, Aug. 24, edition of Bluffton Today.
Options on the conceptual plan -- or suggested by Friends of the Rivers and others -- include a community building, a visitors center, Farmers Market facilities, a staging dock for boaters, oyster roast facilities, a better oyster shell recycling setup, a boat-launch staging area, crew (rowing) facilities, pathways, designated parking for cars, trailers and bicycle racks, community and nature gardens and interpretive trails or even a bandstand or storage areas for canoes, kayaks and small sailboats.
Deed restrictions set limits for much of the property, but that does not apply to the Minor parcel addition.
What do you think should happen?

El Paso, TX (KTSM) — Students preparing to take subsidized government loans will see their interest rates double to 6.8 percent. The change takes effect Monday.
All hope is not lost yet. Lawmakers are trying to strike a last minute deal to save the seven million college students slated to take the subsidized federal Stafford loans this year.
The higher rates only apply to new loans. Only Congress can change the rates.
Congressman Beto O'Rourke expressed his disappointment on his Facebook page Monday morning.
The full text is below:
STUDENT LOAN RATES: I am deeply disappointed that the House and Senate adjourned for a week long recess without acting to prevent federal student loan interest rates from doubling to 6.8% today. If the rate increase is not fixed, college will become out of reach for students all over the country. At UTEP, 9,600 students rely on federal student loans to pay for school. If the rate increase is allowed to stand, many of these students will be forced to make extremely difficult decisions about whether they can afford to continue their education.
This is a crisis that we can fix. I have cosponsored legislation to maintain the current 3.4% rate for two more years and last week I signed a discharge petition to try and force a vote on this bill. I am open to other ideas as well, including pegging the rates to market rates for Treasury bonds (as President Obama has proposed) as long as the rate students pay is fixed. In May, the House majority brought up a bill that would tie rates to the market, but it made the rates variable. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that this would increase costs for students by $4 billion and students would not have the certainty to adequately plan. I did not support that plan.
I think we can reach a compromise and pass something that can be signed into law and can keep college within reach, but we need to be in session to do it. I look forward to getting back to DC and fixing this problem.

It was a year of Hope — at first in the sense of "I feel hopeful!" and later in the sense of "I hope this year ends soon!"It was also a year of Change, especially in Washington, where the tired old hacks of yesteryear finally yielded the reins of power to a group of fresh, young, idealistic, new-idea outsiders such as Nancy Pelosi. As a result Washington, rejecting "business as usual," finally stopped trying to solve every problem by throwing billions of taxpayer dollars at it and instead started trying to solve every problem by throwing trillions of taxpayer dollars at it.To be sure, it was a year that saw plenty of bad news. But in almost every instance, there was offsetting good news:

Looking for alignment specs
I have a 98 5 lug that I just installed a Downey mid travel suspension lift on the front end of. I am trying to find a shop in central Jersey (Lakehurst/Manchester area) to do an alignment for me. A couple of shops have ask me if I have the alignment specs for the lift. I have searched the 5 Lug and Suspension forums and haven't been able to find anything. If anyone out there has any numbers or knows where to look I would appreciate it.

The Financial Services Agency of Japan (FSAJ) recently granted the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) permission to create a trade repository for the purpose of reporting data from OTC derivatives transactions, according to a statement released on March 12, 2013.
This new Tokyo-based facility is the first one to be approved by the FSAJ for use in clearing trades in that market, and will be fully operational before April 1, 2013, which is when traders in the jurisdiction will be required to report their OTC derivatives trades to either trade repositories or government agencies.
Mandatory clearing has already been implemented in the U.S. for transactions involving certain swaps contracts, where market participants became obligated to process transactions of OTC derivatives in this manner starting on March 11, 2013. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission released a statement on that day, indicating the new change was in place.
"DTCC is pleased to be able to deliver to regulatory authorities and market participants in Japan a comprehensive, robust trade repository that brings greater transparency and risk mitigation to the OTC derivatives markets," Michael Bodson, chief executive officer of the DTCC, said in the statement.

Claire Danes' flaxen strands look sweet and romantic in a curl-laced bun with loose tendrils.
Styling Tip
Starting with dry hair and smooth roots and curly ends, create a side part. Leave a few pieces out in front and sweep your length back. Gather hair into one hand and twist into a bun, leaving some of the ends out. Pin securely into place. Take random curls, create a loop and pin into the base of the bun. Add long-lasting hold by misting with hairspray.

In the past twenty years, Global Exchange has legally sent thousands of travelers to Cuba, and of these travelers, many have had the opportunity to study and experience Cuba's innovative policies and practices in environmental protection and sustainable development. In an age of climate instability, now more than ever, we need to ensure that the U.S. and Cuba work together to protect our shared and endangered ecosystem, the Gulf of Mexico and its surrounding bodies of land and water, and to encourage unrestricted communication and collaboration in regard to best sustainability practices. However, as part of the U.S. embargo against Cuba, U.S. citizens are forbidden to travel freely to Cuba. Join us to send an urgent message regarding U.S.-Cuba environmental exchange to President Obama as his administration enters the final stretch of his second term – and he has vowed to take action by executive authority. If you've traveled to Cuba: Add your name to the letter demanding that all restrictions on travel to Cuba related to environmental sustainability, for professionals and non-professionals alike, be lifted. If you haven't traveled to Cuba: Sign the petition demanding President Obama end the travel ban to Cuba so that all can learn, experience, and appreciate the island nation.
For information about travel to Cuba visit our Freedom to Travel campaign or e-mail us at email@example.com.
In solidarity, The Global Exchange Cuba Team

Adjusting rear shocks has always been a big compromise, because settings are not independent. Until now. Cane Creek's Double Barrel, developed with Öhlins' Twin Tube technology, gives you true 4-way independent tuning over high- and low-speed compression and high- and low-speed rebound. So you can dial-in the response you need for big-hits, high-frequency stutters and small bumps. And you can make these adjustments by hand, whenever you like to respond to changing conditions. When you get superior damping for every kind of ride, you'll understand why this groundbreaking shock design keeps winning praise and races by the barrelful.
Twin Tube Technology
Circulates oil continuously through the valving to achieve highly controllable, independent damping for both compression and rebound strokes.
4-Way Independent Adjustment
Unique in the industry, this Öhlins breakthrough design totally isolates the rebound and compression circuits.

In Response To: Well, the LA ER BBQ will be in July.... (Betsy A. (0-) seamstress extraordinnaire)
You are obviously such a warm, open sort to hostess multiple ER gatherings, and now this amazing sounding BBQ! You don't even know how much I want to GO!
1.) I am YEARS overdue for a proper VACATION! 2.) I want to meet you, Cassandra, dd, Verna et al. (Manya, Veera, EVERYONE!) 3.) I am YEARS overdue for a proper VACATION! 4.) An ER BBQ, how cool would THAT be??!!!!! 5.) I was born in LA and have only been there once (since age 5 months *L*!), but I loved it! 6.) I could drive cross-country and finally see the Grand Canyon, Sedona, AZ, get my kicks on Route 66, etc!!!! (Although, no stopping for coffee and cheese fries at a diner!) 7.) I am YEARS overdue for a proper VACATION! 8.) I could then participate in the post-BBQ bb discussion and festivities as someone who was there! A member of the bb glitterati! 9.) I am YEARS overdue for a proper VACATION!
But alas, I fear I cannot afford to trek all the way out there and then there is the ever-present reality of my dog...no one else would take her in, even for a few days, I've polled the audience already on that one!!!!!
So, I'll probably take time off this summer and just hang out terrorizing my hometown and pining wistfully away about the ER BBQ going on across the country!!!! Have a rib in my honor! :D
P.S. Most bbq sauces have corn syrup, so get Verna to make a homemade concoction! :D

MEDFORD, Ore. — Local education leaders say they're getting their act together to better serve the community.
"Southern Oregon Success" is a growing group of community leaders impacting youth and families, ranging from non-profits, schools, and other volunteer agencies in Jackson and Josephine counties.
They call it the "Southern Oregon Success Initiative." Officials want to use its practices as a model for the rest of the state to encourage a team effort in helping the community.
"I think the state is really interested in starting a movement…so that the dollars go further," said Scott Perry with the Southern Oregon Success Initiative.
The $45,000 grant will be used this coming school year to help fund meetings and create a website among other resources needed for the pilot project.

With new oversight powers, House GOP aims to put Obama on defensive
Obama has faced little congressional oversight so far, but with House GOP probing into policies ranging from illegal immigration to health care, the president's oversight holiday may be over.
With Republicans taking up gavels in the House, a season of inquiry is opening on Capitol Hill, putting the Obama administration on defense through the 2012 elections.
To date, the Obama administration has faced relatively little congressional oversight. During the past two years, the House Oversight and Government Reform panel has held 197 oversight hearings. But that will change now that Republicans have control. Incoming oversight committee chair Rep. Darrell Issa (R) of California plans 280 hearings this year alone – and counting.
With the White House and the Democrat-controlled Senate still able to stymie GOP legislation coming from the House, investigations might be one of the most potent ways for House Republicans to leave their mark on this Congress. Committee chairs have broad powers to investigate – and Republican leaders are encouraging them to do so.
New probes will emerge from many committees and on a range of topics, from the actions of the Federal Reserve during the financial meltdown to enforcement of illegal-immigrant laws to how the administration is implementing sweeping health-care and financial reforms passed by Democrats last year.

I have a 2001 Focus 1.8LX. A week ago my radiator fan kept coming on, and I noticed the coolant level was below minimum. I topped it up with coolant and water and the temp gauge reduced and the fan stopped coming on. The only problem is the coolant level is low again, but no fan or high gauge, I'm confused?
There is no sign of a leak on the road or when I look under the car, any ideas what it could be?

As reported by Information Week, the Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a law to improve the state's IT infrastructure and make it less expensive. the law aims at stronger project oversight, increased transparency in spending, greater cost savings, energy usage reduction and further services consolidation. It strengthens the former Department of Technology Services, now transformed into Office of Technology Services under the California Technology Agency.
Among the provisions of the law:
- consolidation of data center space by 50% by July 2011
- cut energy usage from IT operations 20% by July 2011 and 30% by July 2012.
- standardization of IT governance under the Office of the State CIO
- hosting all mission-critical public-facing applications and server refreshes in a Tier III data center, closing all existing data centers and server rooms that house non-network equipment by June 2013.
- migrating from existing network services to the new California Government Network no later than July 2011, and begin migrating to a state-shared email solution no later than June 2011.
- development and maintenance of enterprise architecture plans to comply with statewide enterprise architecture policies and standards as established by the California CIO,
At first sight, the list above makes a lot of sense. Reducing duplication, increasing compliance, better utilizing resources, further consolidating and centralizing are all important steps that need to be taken in order to reduce costs in a sustainable way. A great advocate of centralization has been the State CIO Teri Takai, who has been selected for a federal role at the Department of Defense, but may not leave as soon as expected (see NextGov latest news).
On the other hand, is centralization the only option to achieve savings, or should a better balance be found between state-wide decisions and the ability of individual agencies to find better and cheaper solutions? For instance, in areas where the market is commoditizing, wouldn't it make sense to let agencies make their choices, and focus on controlling how they procure services rather that necessarily provide services from an internal organization? Excessive centralization can lead to tension, slower than planned deployments, and the constant pressure for the central organization to be better than anybody else. The common wisdom says that consolidating the buying power and service all agencies permits the achievement of economies of scale that would not be otherwise possible.
However, does a single data center work better than a hybrid solution where agencies have the autonomy of buying – for certain categories of applications – infrastructure as a service straight from the market?
Does the focus on enterprise architecture encourage or rather prevent different agencies from exploring innovative solutions that may slash the cost of their operations?
Isn't there a risk that all this centralization makes agencies feel that IT is really a commodity, take a compliance attitude to meet the requirements of this law, and lose countless opportunities for transformation?
While I do understand the background that led to this decision, and I know that many of my own colleagues always applaud to more centralization, I wonder whether this is not going too far, reducing the ability of exploring those radical (and innovative) cost cutting options that a jurisdiction like California may have to face earlier rather than later.

The Bharathappuzha, also known as Nila, is a river in India in the State of Kerala. At 209 km, it is the second-longest river in Kerala after the Periyar River. The word "Nila" indicates the culture more than just a river. Nila has groomed the culture and life of south Malabar part of Kerala. We see the name "Peraar" indicating the same river in ancient scripts and documents.
The headwaters of main tributary of Bharathappuzha originates in the Anamalai hills in the Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu, and flows westward through Palakkad Gap, across Palakkad district, Thrissur and Malappuram districts of Kerala, with many tributaries joining it, including the Tirur River. For the first 40 km or so, the Bharathappuzha follows an almost northerly course till Pollachi. At Parli both Kannadippuzha and Kalpathippuza merge and flow as Bharathappuzha and follows a westerly course until it empties into the Arabian Sea at Ponnani. Thootha River merges with Nila at Pallippuram. As Thootha river is rich in water after its merge Nila becomes thicker in flow.
The river is not navigable along most of its course except the small stretch where it joins the sea. With a drainage basin or watershed of 6,186 km², Bharathapuzha basin is the largest among all the river basins in Kerala. A little more than two-thirds of this area (4400 km²) is within Kerala and the remaining area (1786 km²) is in Tamil Nadu. Though Bharathapuzha has a large basin, the water flow is relatively less compared to other long because a large portion of the basin is located in the comparatively drier regions of Tamil Nadu and Palakkad Gap. The construction of number of dams after independence has also reduced the river flow. In fact in the summer months there is almost no flow in most part of the river.The river is the Nile of Kerala and has the name NILA also.
The Bharathappuzha is the lifeline of many cities and villages, including Palakkad, Parli, Killikkurussimangalam, Ottappalam, Shoranur, Pattambi, Thrithala, Thiruvegappura, Kudallur, Pallipuram and Kumbidi. The village of Parudur, including the town of Pallipuram, stands near the confluence of this river and the River Tootha or simply Thuthapuzha.
Irrigation projects
.The Bharathappuzha is extensively dammed and there are six reservoirs along the course of the river, and two more are under construction. Malampuzha dam is the largest among the reservoirs built across Bharathapuzha and its tributaries. Other dams in the Bharathapuzha basin are: Walayar dam, Mangalam dam, Pothundi dam, Meenkara dam and Chuliyar dam. Most of these reservoirs serve the purpose of irrigation only. A total area of 773 square kilometer|km² is irrigated by these irrigation projects. Two more dams, Kanjirapuzha dam and Chittur dam are under construction. The construction of these two dams will increase the area irrigated by another 542 km².
Another major project is the Regulator cum bridge at Thrithala built on the Velliyankallu bridge inaugerated by Kerala Chiefminister VS Achyudanandan. The bridge connects the two villages Pallippuram and Thrithala. The main objective of the regulator is drinking water supply. The water supply projects towards Thrissur district has already started.
