- OR - Select an option belowhttp://www.bar-lab.com Although there is an increasing trend toward thoughtful cocktail consumption, the Broken Shaker boys did it better, making their own ginger beer — swirling cucumbers, fennel, and gin to become punch-ified — and perfecting classics like the Manhattan. Cofounders Elad Zvi and Gabriel Orta have a true passion for mixology that reinvents the cocktail wheel. They built everything at the Broken Shaker with their own hands. The interior space is homey, and the garden offers comfy couches and twinkling lights under starry skies. No guest list, no attitude, no lines. The place is much like a lover you might meet during aimless summertime travels. It's difficult to give your heart to someone (or something) that you know in advance will leave -- it was originally a pop-up bar. Yet this place claimed our love, and left. But, fortunately, it decided to come back, and we're forever in its debt. Read more about The Broken Shaker >>
http://www.burgernbeerjoint.com This South Beach hangout has more attitude than a Hell's Angel. OK, perhaps that's pushing it a little, but it's a sports bar, lounge, and restaurant that is definitely more than just a tatted-up Mickey D's. (This should come as no surprise, because it is the creation of Automatic Slims' conceptual owner and a former GM from SushiSamba.) An upstairs lounge, open 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays and now Mondays for poker, is a great getaway for locals who love to rock, especially when bands perform. It boasts eight TV sets, green chalkboard walls, an oval bar, and a purple-cloth pool table. B&B's sports bar is where you can also find folks drinkin' and smokin' from happy hour on. With 99 types of beer, an incredible wine list, a full bar, and a cocktail menu with selections named "Harry Palmer," "Lowrider," and "Daisy Duke," you can bet patrons stay until the wee hours. But the focal point is the restaurant, where carnivores can customize a burger with a choice of a half- or full pound of free-range beef, Kobe, or turkey; four buns; eight types of cheese; grilled toppings; a selection of unique sauces (we're partial to the Atomic horseradish, tarragon rémoulade, and chipotle ketchup); raw veggies; and "Pure Platinum" toppings such as foie gras ($13) and truffle demi ($8). The least expensive cheeseburger runs about $10.75, but the "Stairway to Heaven," with Kobe, foie, and the demi, rings in at a whopping $39. Whatever you partake of, throw the thoughts of keeping kosher out the window and pair your beef with a deep-fried Twinkie and an adult milkshake (we love the "O Face" and "Money Shot"), made with Edy's ice cream right from the case. Even the kiddies will get a kick out of this joint, especially because they get their own menu and crayons with which to deface the tabletops. Hell, if you're feeling rebellious, pick up a Crayola too. Read more about Burger & Beer Joint >>
http://www.cameomiami.com Once upon a time, Cameo was a theater inhabited by skaters and punks. Trick contests took place in the alley while bands such as the Circle Jerks, 7 Seconds, Fugazi, and Gwar set up inside the large club. Nowadays, Cameo is one of the main clubs in the Opium Group dynasty. The floor plan is similar to that of neighboring Opium family member Mansion; the large main room features a DJ booth on a stage, and the second-floor balcony overlooks it and the dance floor. Depending on the night, partygoers can get a taste of hip-hop, house, or live performances from some of the biggest names in the industry. Read more about Cameo >>

A statue of Bruce Lee's karate-ripped body overlooks the bar. A World War II Hindenburg hub floats from the ceiling. An astronaut in a space suit hangs next to a dangling chandelier made of glass bottles. A bearded dude wearing an Hoy Polloy T-shirt scores on the Playboy pinball machine, and chicks in high-waisted black shorts show off their perfectly toned abs as they chug glass after glass of free vodka soda during ladies' night on Wednesdays. Killer riffs and catchy beats from Jean Jacket and other local indie acts captivate the crowd, and a DJ gets the party started and asses shaking with some serious electro-pop dance tunes. There are regular karaoke nights, the long-running gay party night Glitter Box Mondays, and a good selection of craft beers and well-mixed cocktails. That whole eclectic-meets-hipster vibe that Kill Your Idol's got going is what makes it a diamond in the rough of uhntz-uhntz powerhouses dominating SoBe's drinking scene.

Best Uses
Easy to use lightweight saves time moving snow with shovel. I have driveway of about 70ft. It is difficult to move wet snow with this mover... I have used it twice in MD. When you assemble it make sure to tight up bolts n nuts before 1st use.
Best Uses
I have used it only once so far and it worked as well as I had hoped when I purchased it. The snow was about 5 inches deep and was quite wet/heavy. But this machine was able to throw it a good 15-20+ feet. There were a few times when it clogged, but only when it encountered partially melted snow. But, it literally took me 7-8 seconds to clear it and get back to snow blowing. All I had to do was stop the machine, push the packed snow back down the chute, pick up the solid ball and toss it off to the side. I have a concrete driveway that usually would take 45 to 60 minutes to shovel off 5 inches of snow (and I work quickly). I finished the job with this electric snow thrower in 20 minutes. It's true that you have to be aware of the cord so you don't run over it, but for snow depths of 5-6 inches or less, it sure beats hauling out the large John Deere 2-stage thrower that I have. I told my wife when I came in that this was about the best machine I have ever purchased for accomplishing what it was made to do. I hope it stays just as good for the next few years.
Best Uses
Light weight and easy to assemble. Quiet running and easy to maneuver. Haven't used it yet but can't wait for the first snow to take it for a drive. Beats using a shovel and killing my back. This is something my kids could use at their age.
Best Uses
I will clean the walk and and approach to garage doors.I
have a big tracor an plow for the 500 foot drive.
I rigged up brackets to hold an extra 100 feet of cord.

Hi All
Hope you are all well.

About the Program
"My Family Story" – the Manuel Hirsch Grosskopf International Annual program.
For two decades, Beit Hatfutsot has been engaging tens of thousands of students from all over the world in Jewish heritage through the annual My Family Story International program. In this program, middle and high school students research and present their family stories and thereby explore their collective Jewish history.
Contributing countries for the 2014 program included: Israel, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Costa Rica, Germany, Mexico, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Canada and the United States. 76 institutions and over 12,000 students participated in the MFS program around the world. MFS joined with the Partnership for Effective Learning and Innovative Education (PELIE), expanding the program in the North American region.
We invite your school to participate in the 2014 My Family Story International program. Please be in touch with firstname.lastname@example.com for information about registration fees and any further questions.
Program Details
- Target participants. The program intended for 12-15 years of age students.
- Eligibility. Participation is only available through educational institutions and community centers. Individuals may not enter independently.
- School representatives. Each institution may select up to four individual projects prepared by their students to represent them in the international program.
- Family Tree. Every project must include a family tree. We recommend using Family Tree Builder, which is a free genealogy software by MyHeritage.com. This specially designed software will help students to build their family trees and then register them at the Douglas E. Goldman Jewish Genealogy Center at Beit Hatfutsot, for future generations. You can download the Family Tree Builder here or start working on-line here.
- Language. Projects can be submitted in students' native languages (Hebrew, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, French, etc.)
- Hebrew Abstract. In schools where Hebrew is taught, students are recommended to include an abstract page in Hebrew.
- Cover page. Every submission must include a cover page that contains the following information: name of the student, grade and name of the school.
- Digital copy. The projects should be sent in digital form to be kept by the Museum (either alone or in addition to the printed copy).
- Size. The Museum will not accept projects that exceed 60×60 cm. In the case of artistic presentations which exceed this size, we suggest the inclusion of the respective pictures. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
- Teacher support and on-line forum. Beit Hatfutsot and the The International School for Jewish Peoplehood Studies has produced an accompanying curriculum unit in order to support teachers and students in the process of preparing My Family Story projects.
Project Delivery
- Schools are responsible for the delivery of the projects, and we do not accept delivery from individuals.
- Each school should send by e-mail a list with the names of the students whose projects have been sent to the Museum.
- It is important to find out all customs taxes before the delivery and to provide for the payment. The Museum will not cover payment of custom taxes in Israel.
- We suggest that every school organizes the arrival and collection of the projects with the delivery company before being sent.
- Every school should select a maximum of four projects to be sent to Beit Hatfutsot. In case more projects arrive, only four will be considered, being selected at random.
- The projects sent to Beit Hatfutsot will be evaluated by a jury of representatives from the Israel Ministry of Education, The Constantine Family School of Education of Tel Aviv University, the Douglas E. Goldman Jewish Genealogy Center, the Education Department of Beit Hatfutsot, and experts in the field.
- The selection criteria include the following areas: research, documentation, originality, presentation and genealogy.
- All students whose projects reach the museum will be awarded with a certificate from Beit Hatfutsot.
- Prizes will be awarded for the best projects in two separate categories – Israel and the Diaspora communities; and to schools (or community centers) which demonstrated a special achievement.

If you could label it winter-sunshine I think it would be fitting. It's fresh like a sunny day in spring but warm toned like marshmellows in hotchocolate by the fire. What a wonderful thing! Great lasting power of scent for a lotion as well.
More reviews by VioletVonSchmidt
This is a review for the body butter. VS was not kidding with the name..it REALLY does look and feel like butter, oily almost, but it sinks in quickly and feels great. I asked the Boyfriend to pick out his favorite scent for me and he chose Amber Romance. It's definitely an alluring and man-friendly scent...warm, sweet, without being too foody (which I like). I'm going to try layering this with some of my perfumes, but I can also see myself wearing it alone (after slathering every inch of my skin) for a date night. :)
this is a review for Amber Romance EVERYTHING! i got everything Amber Romance as a Christmas gift from my sister in law, because she knows what kind of scents i appreciate. this is very beautiful, warm, and a bit spicy out of the bottle. but...well, my experience with this stuff is about the same as my experience with Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds (see my review). maybe it's the amber *scribbles notes*.
More reviews by PeeWeeScaresMe
The lotion is a little thin and at first the scent is a little odd, but given some time, the scent is really nice. And, its a nice change from the fruitiness of lovespell and the other boring ones.
More reviews by tenderheart003
I love this scent! I like VS's lotions much better than the creams, as they seem to sink in better. I don't like the feel that VS claims is "silky" and which I call silicone. I will put up with it for the scent though.
Funny...when I first got this smell as a gift, I didn't care for it on first whiff. When I actually used the spray and lotion a few days later I was in awe. This is THE perfect fall/winter smell. It's not for the faint of heart because it is a heavy, exotic smell. Men seem to love this one. I get loads of compliments with this. If this seems to strong for you, try Brown Sugar and Fig from Bath and Body Works. It's in the same scent family but a lot sweeter and softer.
Just tried the new Body Butter. Great consistency and wonderful smell. I like the shimmer cream better but the girl at the store told me this is a special item, only out in the summer and at the holidays so I will be sticking with the body butter until then.
I actually bought the body shimmer cream and it was wonderful. Gold flecks throughout, wonderful consistency to the cream, which really enhanced the fragrance. Looked great with a tan and received many compliments on the gold shimmer effect.
Love it! It's not sophisticated in any way, but it smells, warm, sweet, and yummy, and extremely sensual. I find that this stuff moisturises very, very well too. This is one of the best of the Garden line, and I will re-purchase as long as they make it. *EDIT* I have gotten so many compliments on this one over the past few months of wearing it - it makes me really happy. My husband likes it too.

Admissions | Registration | Transfer Credit | Graduate Course Option | Re-admissions | Examination Policy | On-Line Withdrawal from Courses | Petitions to the Faculty | Change of Major | Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam
Undergraduate applications and admissions are handled through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Registration is on-line at On-Line Student Computer Assisted Registration, or OSCAR, http://oscar.gatech.edu. You can view class schedules, calendars, course catalog, transfer equivalencies and register via secured access. Generally, the registration process is straight forward if planned properly. However, sometimes, issues can occur. Some of these are listed below.
Overloads of closed sections. ISyE has an on-line overload system which is turned on at the beginning of Phase II registration . Sometimes classes (especially popular and/or required ones) will "close out." In order to register for such a class, you must go to the respective school or department and request an (on-line) enrollment permit. Be prepared, however, to have your enrollment request denied if it is not predicated upon compelling reasons. Requests such as ones based on a desire to take a course with a friend, or from a particular instructor, are certainly not considered "compelling."
Enrollment in restricted or graduate courses. You may need permission from appropriate school or department. These can be forms or on-line.
Time conflicts. In order to register for two classes that are scheduled in overlapping time periods, you must obtain a signed note from one of the instructors certifying that the conflict will not affect your ability to complete the course successfully. The note should be taken to the person in charge of overloads and permits and a "time conflict override" can be applied.
Holds. If your time ticket indicates a hold on registration, check the OSCAR for an interpretation of the hold and instructions for its clearance.
Cross registration. Students who would like to take courses not offered at Georgia Tech can do so through the cross registration program administered through the University Center in Georgia. The contact for this at Georgia Tech is through the registration office.
Coursework completed at another institution may be considered for transfer credit if (i) it was passed with a letter grade of C or better and (ii) it is not a substitute for a course which was failed previously at Georgia Tech. In most cases and for most lower division courses, the Admissions Office or Registrar, upon review of a transcript, will automatically give credit (if deemed transferable) for courses taken at other institutions. You can find the transfer equivalencies online on OSCAR. Otherwise, the student should contact an instructor or associate chair in the relevant department at Tech that the non-resident course is "equivalent" to the particular one here. If you are seeking transfer credit by this means, make sure to bring all relevant materials (course syllabi, textbook, catalog description, tests, etc.) to the instructor of the similar Georgia Tech course, and ask that a Non-Resident Credit Form be completed and submitted to the Registrar. You should check subsequently that the form did reach the Registrar. Remember, the obligation of gaining approval of non-resident credit in this way is the student's.
Transfer credit appears as the initial entry on a student's transcript. When credit is granted for a course which has content deemed identical to a Georgia Tech course, the latter course number will be listed. If the credit is for a course that does not "exactly" match a Tech course in content or hours, the listing will appear in generic form, i.e., Math 3xxx.
Undergraduate students can take graduate courses with approval. If the credits are not to be used towards the master degree, there is a minimum GPA requirement of 3.0. Students who intend to use graduate credits toward both the bachelors and masters in the same discipline at Georgia Tech may use up to 6 credit hours of graduate-level coursework in the major discipline. To qualify for this option, students must complete the undergraduate degree with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher and complete the master's degree within a two-year period from the award date of the bachelors degree.
A student must apply for readmission if he or she is out of school for two or more consecutive terms or for other situations below. More details are in the GT catalog.
Voluntary withdrawal after completion of term. Students who are on good standing or warning status may apply for re-admission in any subsequent term and expect positive action by the Registrar's Office. Students who are on probation status must arrange for an interview with an academic advisor to discuss their application for re-admission. A positive recommendation will normally be given if there is clear evidence that the problems which led to the student's poor standing have been, or are being rectified.
Voluntary withdrawal with all "W" grades. Students who withdraw during a term and receive all "W" grades will not be allowed to re-enter the term following withdrawal. In addition, the application for readmission must be accompanied by a letter which provides a credible explanation of how the problems and/or circumstances that led to the withdrawal have been resolved. As stated previously, students on probation status at the time of withdrawal must schedule an interview with an advisor.
Dropped for unsatisfactory scholarship. Students who have been dropped from school because of unsatisfactory academic performance will not normally be re-admitted. They are advised strongly to seriously consider their educational and career aims and to seek educational alternatives accordingly. Among these alternatives are non-technical as well as engineering technology programs at other institutions. The sobering fact that many students who have fared poorly here must often face is that their aptitude, preparation, or work habits may simply not be amenable to a successful experience at Tech. In such cases, neither the Institute nor ISyE does the student a favor by granting readmission.
On the other hand, and sadly, some students perform poorly (and are dropped accordingly) because of emotional difficulties, family and/or personal problems, substance abuse, and the like. Certainly, if this is the case, the student must be prepared, at the time of the readmission application, to present evidence that such problems contributed to the prior difficulties and that they are presently being dealt with appropriately. Helpful in this regard is documentation from suitable professional sources (i.e., physicians, counselors, etc.).
If re-admission is recommended by the School, the student will be asked to sign a contract which will include a program of study and a minimum grade point average which will assure a GPA of at least 2.0 at the end of the period described by the contract. Failure to meet any part of the contract will result in the student's dismissal from the institute. With this action, the student will also agree that no attempt will be made to seek further re-admission to ISyE.
ISyE policy is that, void of extenuating circumstances, a student who has been dropped for unsatisfactory scholarship must remain out of school for at least 2 semesters (excluding summer semester). During this time, the student is urged to consider taking courses at an alternative institution. Demonstration of an ability to perform in a satisfactory manner accordingly and with regard to meaningful coursework strengthens the student's case for re-admission to Tech. Again, please take note that the School (ISyE) only provides a recommendation regarding re-admission. The final decision is made by the Institute Undergraduate Curriculum Committee.
Students are advised to review Section VIII, B.6 of the Student Rules and Regulations stating: "A student who is dropped a second time for unsatisfactory scholarship will not be re-admitted to the Institute."
The School of Industrial & Systems Engineering follows the guidelines on quizzes and final exams which are set forth by the Institute Academic Senate. These are provided below. Note that these are only "guidelines" meaning that they are subject to some variance in their application across courses, from term to term, and even among professors. The aim of the School is that adherence to these guidelines be met where and as often as possible.
1. Students should receive some form of performance evaluation prior to the withdrawal deadline for a course. This evaluation can be in the form of an exam, a quiz, a graded project or report, or even (if relevant) from consultation with the instructor.
2. Quizzes or exams may not be given during the week preceding final exams. No final exam will be given earlier than the final exam week under any circumstances. All quizzes and tests must be graded and returned on or before the last day of class preceding final exam week.
3. Each regularly scheduled lecture course shall have a final exam, and it shall be administered at the time specified in the official final exam schedule published and distributed by the Registrar.
4. A request for a change in the final exam period for an individual will not ordinarily be granted (i.e., to meet early plane reservations, to avoid a last period final, to miss rush-hour traffic, etc.). Any such request must be justified in writing and submitted to the instructor well in advance of the scheduled exam period.
5. A request for a change of the final exam period for an entire class must have the approval of the instructor and the unanimous approval of the class as determined by a secret ballot.
6. If a student has two final exams scheduled during the same period, it is the obligation of the instructor of the lower numbered course to resolve the conflict by giving a final exam to that student at a mutually satisfactory alternative time.
7. If a student is scheduled to have three final exams on the same day, it is the obligation of the instructor of the class scheduled for the middle exam period to give a final exam to that student at a mutually satisfactory alternate time.
Georgia Tech policy allows students to withdraw from a course without penalty each term, if they are permitted to do so by their major school. The specific drop-date is published in the academic calendar. ISyE follows Georgia tech policy. However, students should be judicious to avoid waste of time and resrouces. More importantly, "W's" on transcripts often viewed by prospective employers and graduate schools as indicative of poor planning, ineffective time management, gaming the system, lack of ability to complete assigned tasks, or a propensity for simply "bailing out." Therefore, a decision to withdraw from a course is a serious one and should be made only after substantial deliberation and preferably in consultation with an academic advisor.
Students may ask for relief from any of the Institute's rules and regulations by submitting a formal request to the Institute Undergraduate Curriculum Committee. The necessary form, called a Petition to the Faculty, can be obtained in the ISyE undergraduate office. Typically, these petitions are granted when the student has been unjustly served by the regulations or when relief is requested from the consequences of a mistake over which the student had no control. Note, however, that these petitions will not be looked upon favorably if they seek protection from the consequences of your own carelessness.
A petitioner should complete the form, obtain the recommendation and signature of the undergraduate advisor or the Director of Undergraduate Studies, and submit the petition to the Registrar. Understand, however, that a departmental recommendation is not routine. If your case is not viewed as a legitimate one accordingly, do not expect a positive recommendation.
ISyE does not consider change of major requests during registration. Please sign up for the next change of major session.
Change of Major rules, effective summer 2013
ISyE follows the Georgia Tech Change of Major rules with exceptions below.
All students, whether they have accumulated 60 hours or not, wishing to change their major to ISyE must meet the following requirements:
Since enrollment in ISyE 2027 is restricted to ISyE and a few other majors, students will need to obtain a provisional permit for 2027, which can be obtained after registering and attending an information session. Similarly, since enrollment in Math 2602 is restricted, ISyE will need to work with Math about obtaining a provisional permit.
The Georgia State Board of Registration offers Georgia Tech students the opportunity to take the EIT exam before they graduate. This is a privilege not normally afforded to the general public. Students who desire to take the exam must fill out the application prior to the deadline established by the Georgia State Board. The application forms can be downloaded from the Board's website at 222.sos.ga.gov/plb/pels under "Downloadable Forms." The student should check with the advisor or with the College of Engineering for deadlines and exam dates.
Regulations concerning Grades, Deficiencies, cross enrollment, etc, can be found in the Online GT Catalog. Below, a few more common ones are listed below.
Incompletes. Incompletes must arrange to remove the incomplete by the end of the next semester, or the grade will be automatically changed to F. A grade change form must be submitted by the instructor to the academic office.
Academic Standing. The minimum GPA for good academic standing is 1.7 for freshman, 1.8 for sophomores, 1.95 for juniors and 2.0 for seniors. Any student who has an overall average below the minimum or whose average for a given semester falls below the minimum requirement will be placed on academic warning and will be limited to a maximum course load of sixteen credit hours. A student on warning whose average for any semester falls below the minimum requirement for good standing will be placed on academic probation and will be limited to a maximum course load of fourteen credit hours. A student on probation whose average falls below the minimum requirements in any semester will be dropped from school for unsatisfactory scholarship.
Maximum Academic Load. Students in good standing may take up to 21 credit hours in any semester. Note that course loads exceeding 18 hours are typically not recommended except for exceptionally talented students.
Pass/Fail. Certain courses may be taken on a Pass/Fail basis. For ISyE students these are limited to free electives. The maximum number of Pass/Fail credits is 3 for those with total of 45 – 70 hours at Georgia Tech; 6 for 71 – 90; and 9 for 91 or more. No ISyE courses may be taken on a Pass/Fail basis by a student seeking the BSIE degree.
Thirty-Six Hour Rule. The final thirty-six hours earned for a degree must be taken in residence at Georgia Tech.
Ten-Year Rule. Courses completed more than ten years prior to one's graduation date must be validated by a special examination.
Repeating Courses. Courses which are passed normally may not be repeated. Students who wish to repeat such a course must first obtain approval in writing from their major department. Concurrence of the department in which the course is offered is also required.
Responsibilities. "Sloppiness" may not be tolerated by faculty such as overdue assignments, or missed examinations. Indeed, if an examination is missed or an assignment not completed on time without prior acknowledgment and/or explanation, the student should not routinely expect to be given extra time or an opportunity for any makeup work. It is also the student's responsibility to know and/or to find out when exams, assignments, etc. have been re-scheduled.
Honor Code. Georgia Tech has an Honor Code and the faculty of ISyE is serious about upholding it. If you are deemed to be in violation of the Honor Code, ISyE faculty members are instructed to file a report accordingly with the Director of Undergraduate Studies who then forwards, to the Associate Dean of Students, all documentation related to alleged transgressions. Matters are then handled in the Dean's Office.

Protest Links Afghan War, City Budget Cuts
by Melinda Tuhus | Feb 21, 2011 8:19 am

Posted to: International
Four men stood in front of City Hall with signs calling for redirecting military spending to meet human needs at home. Why weren't more people joining them?
"What do you think this is—Cairo?" joked Henry Lowendorf (pictured), chair of the Greater New Haven Peace Council, which had called the demo Friday afternoon.
Not Cairo—and not Madison, Wisconsin, either, where tens of thousands of union members and their supporters have gathered at the state capitol over the past several days to oppose the new Republican governor's efforts to strip public employee unions of collective bargaining rights.
But that didn't mean the small, quiet protest in New Haven Friday didn't garner local support. Its message: If the country didn't spend so much money fighting wars abroad, it would have more to spend at home—and avoid the kind of police and school cutbacks facing cities like New Haven.
New Havener Deborah Taylor (pictured) was passing City Hall with her toddler, Hunter, in tow. She said she "absolutely agrees" with the sentiments on the signs the protesters were holding. "More money is going to war and less to public education," she said.
Taylor said she worries about the quality of education that will be available to "my little guy" in a few years. Plus, her husband is a teacher.
She said a second concern is the environment; the House Republican leadership in Congress is trying to gut the Environmental Protection Agency, which is in charge of ensuring clean air and clean water. "We need to go to clean energy, and I don't mean 'clean' oil or 'clean' coal," Taylor said. "If you don't have your environment, you have nothing."
Lowendorf engaged her in conversation about the extension of tax cuts for the wealthy that President Obama signed off on in December, and the freeze on federal government workers' salaries that Lowendorf argued amounts to a tax increase for middle-class workers. She nodded in agreement.
The protesters point out that Mayor John DeStefano is calling for belt-tightening among city workers to bridge a $5.5 million gap in the current year's budget and a projected $22 million gap in the next fiscal year's. Meanwhile, according to the National Priorities Project, New Haven taxpayers will pay $84 million for FY2011 in total Iraq and Afghanistan war spending—or $1,766 per household— which is "more than enough to cover the projected budget deficit," Lowendorf said.
His group is calling for an end to the wars, bringing the troops home and funding local needs.
Maureen Fisher (pictured) lives in West Haven and works at a bank near City Hall. On her way home Friday, she stopped to say that instead of spending billions on "unnecessary" wars, "We should be spending more money on our children and families. When I walk here in the mornings, I see people who have nowhere to go. We need to build shelters for them. And also we need to not lay off the police officers. We need them," Fisher said.
Right on cue, a New Haven cop pulled up in his cruiser to take care of an errand inside City Hall. That was the only information he'd share with a reporter. He declined to make any comment on the protest.

Melinda, thanks for this great article and bringing to the attention of the public one of the major factors contributing to New Havens budget crisis.
As a Commissioner on the City of New Haven Peace Commission I would like to extend an invitation to folks to come testify at a Public Hearing we are holding on the adverse affects of military spending on senseless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and how this money should be redirected to funding social needs
in New Haven. The hearing will take place March 23 at 5:30 at City Hall, 165 Church Street in Room 1. Christopher Hellman from the National Priorities Project (http://nationalpriorities.org/) will be present to give testimony as to the devastating affects of the military budget as it impacts our city.
See you on March 23!

Dear New Haven Independent,
You are the freedom of information the rest of the world is longing for. Thank you. Melinda Tuhus' story is about our shared financial (and moral)responsibility.It is the story the world needs to understand to guide our progress toward real democracy. We need oppose war and to fund our own basic needs and those of our brothers and sisters far away.

Thanks, Seth, for letting us know about the hearing on March 23.
See you there,

Yes. Same concerns are being voiced up in the Naugatuck Valley. Stop the wars and there would be the funds to cover the budget deficit in our town and state. We are trying to get wind energy established here in Prospect. It will mean clean energy, saving land that would be sprawled and many green jobs. Federal funds are necessary so stopping the wars would release the money for these much needed projects.
Thanks for covering this important action.

New Haven Independent~Thank you for the coverage of citizens taking action against the funding of wars, however small their numbers. Responsible citizen participation of questioning how our tax dollars are spent should be recognized and covered by local media. Isn't this part of a participatory democracy; questioning and having public discourse on these very important issues of where our tax dollars go and how our communities will develop and be affected? The majority of our tax dollars is spent on funding military defense and interest on military debt. Cutting funding of astronomical military spending is essential to designate funds for the human needs of our community; shelter, a safe place to live, food, health insurance and a living wage job.

Sou'Wester news
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has turned thumbs down on a request from the P.E.I. FishermenŌĆÖs Association for a short extension to the season in the IslandŌĆÖs major lobster fishing area.
Heavy seas and high winds kept fishermen in Area 24 in port for several days, especially during the critical first weeks of the season.
Encompassing the north side of the province, the season there accounted for a record 14.5 million pounds in 2010. That amount exceeded the combined catches of the spring and fall seasons on the south side of the province.
The associationŌĆÖs request would certainly have to be termed modest. The season closed June 30 and they wanted the extension to July 2 ŌĆō a mere two days. This is by no means the first time DFO has turned thumbs down on such a request, both for Island fishermen and in other areas across the region.
Area 24 fishermen actually lost more than two days due to weather, so the season would still have been shorter than the parameters laid down when the licences were granted. However, it appears flexibility is not a word in the DFO lexicon when it comes to such issues.
There is no question Area 24 fishermen could have used the extra time on the water. Prior to the season there was a great deal of cautious optimism within the Island industry. The world economy, which drove prices down in late 2009 and 2010, seemed to be on the rebound. Processing inventories were rumoured to be low. (It is hard to get accurate reading since processors are reluctant to share specific information on their company.)
Despite the closure of the largest processor, Ocean Choice International, there were plenty of buyers on the wharf. But the colder water and missed fishing days meant there were less lobsters for them to buy.
The price remained below the $5-mark for market lobster at the beginning of the season. In fact, for the first two weeks of the season, fishermen were frustrated at the lack of a shore price.
The price for market lobster stayed around the $4.50 a pound mark. Association president Mike McGeoghegan said fishermen selling to the Boston market south of the border were receiving in excess of $5 American. Given the fact the two currencies are now virtually at par (the Canadian dollar was actually slightly more for much of the spring) and that much of the Island catch eventually goes to the American market, the veteran fishermen said Island prices should also be over the $5 mark.
The two-day extension may not have been the difference between balancing the books and going into the red for most fishers. There are only a set number of days allowed in the season.
Still, the department could have been more flexible in allowing the extension since the two days would still have meant less time on the water than the season called for.

Nivea Lip Butter Caramel Cream Kiss would be what I am talking about. I am extremely picky when it comes to things that I use to moisturize my lips in which I mean that it actually has to do just that. I have tried every lip balm & chapstick out there. It seems that only Carmex seems to do the job, that is until now.
Nivea lip butters have been making the rounds around youtube and on various other blogs so I wanted to see what the hype was all about. I wanted to know if maybe just maybe this would work for me. I am always on the look out for something to fit my high expectations so I can switch things up and have a little bit of variety.
The smell of this is amazing. It has a salty sweet smell that temps me to want to take a bite! Seriously it is that yummy. The texture is very soft so if you are using your finger be very careful not to press too hard. It has no color when you apply to the lips. I have seen some posts that say it leaves a white cast on your lips but I haven't experienced that myself.
I found this baby at my local CVS. It wasn't located with the cosmetics or the lip products but in the isle with all the lotions and creams. The one thing that concerned me about these lip butters is that the very first ingredient is Petrolatum. You can read more about it

Arash Borhani rescues Esteghlal against Saba |
QOM – Iran Professional League (IPL) leader Esteghlal drew with Saba thanks to Arash Borhani's equalizer on Monday.
Saba and Esteghlal tied 1-1 in Qom's Yadegar Emam Stadium.
Iman Razzaghi Rad gave Saba the lead in the 29th minute. Saba dominated possession in the first half and could have extended the lead but its strikers didn't take advantage of their chances.
Esteghlal was the better team in the second half but failed to score.
In the injury time, referee Yadollah Jahanbazi showed the penalty spot. Saba players heavily criticized the decision and their captain Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh was sent after receiving his second yellow card.
Arash Borhani scored the penalty in the dying moments of the match.
Elsewhere, Traktorsazi defeated Naft 2-1 in a home game. Mehdi Seyed Salehi and Javad Kazemian were on target for Traktorsazi and Alireza Ezzati pulled a goal back.
Sepahan also beat struggling Gahar 4-1 in Doroud. Xhevahir Sukaj opened the scoring in the 9th minute. Mohammad Reza Khalatbari extended the visiting team's lead just before the break. Farshid Talebi scored Sepahan's third goal four minutes into the second half and Ahmad Jamshidian scored in the 70th minute with a long-range shot.
Ammar Nik-kar scored a consolation goal for Gahar in the injury time.
Esteghlal remains at the top of the table with 56 points, followed by Traktorsazi and Sepahan with 55 and 53 points respectively.

Why is it that American voters cannot understand the deficit mess comes from unfair trade agreements that go back to 1992? Perot described the whole mess and predicted that our deficit would go up and the jobs would leave the USA. Now we have the GOP congress taking full advantage of the tax system that allows major corporations to use deductions that would cancel out any tax payments. This new tax system was voted on and approved by the House and Senate back in 1997. This morning on Morning Joe, ex-Senator Bill Bradley mentioned this abuse of government and I, for one was surprised that no one had mentioned it. However the American people would rather whine and refer back to Socialism to force a redistribution of wealth than to check their own House and Senate members to get off their arses and do something.
This system of open debate has failed all who come on line to learn anything. When I read Thomas Friedman's "The World is Flat" I remembered the many lectures and the great book by Perot who laid this out accurately and clearly.
Of all the whining and crying about GE not paying taxes, not one person checked the legality of this action. Anyone owning stock in GE would be silly to say a word. I own no stock in GE these days. But when I am labeled as lacking morals here, I realized that nobody ever checks facts and would rather issue labels on these subjects. I have mentioned the outsourcing of profits for years and yet no one would ever consider changing the law to stop this action.
We could discuss the financing of our elections to stop the abuse of allowing GE to have their way…..one cannot blame them for passing this mass of laws allowing the money to stay in their control.
I spent years exposing the abuse of our federal government and the only solution to me was to remove the power to allow them to pass bills in their favor. Hell, yes the Lobbyists are all over this action and will always finance those Reps who will allow it.
The crime is not with the Lobbyists but with the corrupt members of Congress. I could even extend the criminals as the voters who continue to elect men and women who can be bought by the corporations.
One subject that stirred up Perot was the fact that the Corporations are eagerly hiring Congresscritters to work for them. Perot suggested a law that would prevent any House/Senate member of going to work for any Corporation for the purpose of Lobbying.
Perot sounded and looked like a hillbilly and was made fun of by easily 90% of the people on line. Again the American voters will look to candidates like Palin and Trump who are professional celebrities and therefore must be good candidates.
I find not a single reason to vote for either candidate being suggested at this time. Even this above average forum CHB would rather force the government to take money from GE and give it to ??? than take a close look at the tax laws from 1997 to today.
I tend to blame the religious right for kidnapping the Republican Party and forcing prohibitions on the Constitution to stop the Secular movement that is creeping into the RNC. I don't blame the Christians for acting like teenagers chasing anything that gets them laid. I blame the Christians for demanding a law against birth control and abortions. I remember when I was younger and the Christians wanting unlimited births from all women due to the fact that a good percentage of their children would be Christians.
One of the stupidest reasons for banning abortions came from a group right here on Reader Rant. Who would pay for their Social Security if all the unwanted babies were destroyed?
I have bitten off more than I can sell. Gregor tried to explain my political points of view because he claims I got it from Ayn Rand. Thank you Gregor, but I was working for free enterprise capitalism long before I read Rand. I was thrilled to have found a soul mate who shares a love for individual rights based on the individual, not the government.
I had greatly missed the point that American voters depend on the word of God more than the word of the men who wrote the Constitution. American freedoms were based on the individual imaginations of people who demanded freedoms within their own communities. The open mind cannot be destroyed. Any human brain that searches for excuses for their actions deserves slavery. I got this from Orwell long before many of you were born. Maybe I should have chosen my words with more care but at my age, time is fleeing.
Screw D.C. and screw CHB.
Some day, I hope a really intelligent person can show up here and explain the reason our tax system is sacred and above change. Some one who has knowledge of why not a single Congress member can explain their reasons for allowing the rape of the American tax payer. The answer to our debts and deficits sits in the IRS. Had anyone believed Perot and followed his suggestions, our corporations would be growing in America and our debts would be lowered every fiscal year.

The Bill will have a material impact on remuneration structures for a broad range of executives, which is likely to be inconsistent with APRA's recommendations for greater performance- and risk-based remuneration. The Bill is also likely to have unfortunate and inconsistent impacts on existing employment contracts (even with prior shareholder approval), superannuation payments, restraints of trade, and damages settlements.
APRA has announced a second round of consultation on remuneration principles for regulated financial sector companies, with submissions due by 2 October and new standards to be issued in November, effective from 1 April 2010.
Meanwhile, the Productivity Commission is considering whether to give shareholders of public companies a greater say on executive remuneration than is presently the case with non-binding votes on the annual remuneration report. The Commission's draft report is due out later this month.
There have also been further developments on amendments to the Government's unpopular taxation reforms of Employee Share Schemes (ESS), announced in the Federal Budget.
The Government released an exposure draft Bill last month seeking submissions until 31 August on proposed amendments in a range of areas, including the deferred taxing point for shares and rights, salary sacrifice based tax deferral and restrictions on the ability to obtain a refund for out-of-the-money options.
The Senate Economics Committee has reviewed the Bill and recommended that it be deferred until after the Productivity Commission review of executive remuneration, the Henry Tax review, and a Board of Taxation review have been completed later this year. (The Board of Taxation recently announced a review of aspects of employee share schemes and called for submissions by 9 October.)
For more detailed analysis of ESS, see Mallesons publications here.
The International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) recently released the Final Report of the Task Force on Unregulated Markets and Financial Products (TFUMP), following a Consultation Report in May. The Final Report gives Australia a clear mandate to implement changes in a way which recognises the particular features of market practice in Australia. Read more
The recent Final Report of the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Technical Committee in respect of the Task Force on Unregulated Markets and Financial Products (TFUMP) makes for encouraging reading at a time when it can be very difficult to find a positive word said about the CDS market.

The US Treasury Department has delivered draft legislative language to Capitol Hill with proposals on regulating the "over-the-counter" (OTC) derivatives industry in the United States. These proposals have attracted significant comment in the US, not in the least because of their breadth and apparent novelty. However, all but one of the fundamental principles of these new US regulatory proposals are unlikely to surprise market participants already familiar with derivatives regulation in Australia.

The first phase of the national consumer credit protection reform process is nearing completion, with the National Consumer Credit Protection Bill through the House of Representatives and introduced into the Senate on 7 September.
The process has been notable not only for the major change it represents to the regulation of credit in Australia but for the lack of broad-based consultation and the haste with which the Bill was drafted. Read more
On 18 August 2009, the United Kingdom Office of Fair Trading (OFT) released proposed changes to its guidance on director disqualification orders in competition law cases. Currently, a company director can be disqualified from acting as a director for up to 15 years if their company is involved in a contravention of competition law and a Court finds they are unfit to be involved in the management of a company as a result.

Budget and Spending
We need a balanced approach to government spending and a budget that reflects our values. This includes making common sense spending reductions that eliminate waste and fraud, while protecting key investments that create jobs, foster economic growth and promote entrepreneurship.
Civil Rights
Whether it's defending voting rights, providing equal rights to the LGBT community, or making sure that people with disabilities have the opportunity to live fulfilling and productive lives, we need to make sure that our civil rights are always protected.Cutting Waste and Fraud
American taxpayers who work hard every day and play by the rules should have confidence that their government is doing the same. It is important to me that America spends its money wisely. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case.
All of America's students should have access to a high-quality education that will create opportunities and help them achieve the American Dream. We must make sure our children receive the tools they need to succeed in school, including early childhood education programs, school modernization projects, and investments to increase high-quality learning opportunities.Energy and the Environment
Protecting our environment and developing sufficient energy infrastructure should be a national priority. To secure America's energy future, our nation must promote new industries that will help develop more efficient and affordable renewable fuel technologies.Health Care
While far from perfect, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) made many significant improvements to our health care system by giving patients more control over their health care coverage and by holding insurance companies accountable. The ACA puts patients back in control of their health care.Immigration
As Americans, our rich immigrant history has helped make us the strong and diverse nation we are today. This great country was founded by people from many backgrounds and nations, bonded by a common hope of achieving the American Dream. But unfortunately, our current immigration system is defective and needs to be reformed.Jobs and the Economy
I am committed to making it easier for small businesses to grow and hire new workers, which is why the first bill I introduced was the bipartisan Small Business Paperwork Relief Act. This legislation will waive fines for most first time federal paper work infractions by small businesses.
Medicare and Social Security
Social Security and Medicare make a real difference in the lives of working Americans and it is a top priority of mine to protect these programs. Since the creation of Social Security and then Medicare, millions of Americans have relied on these crucial programs to live their lives with dignity.
National Security
My views on national security and foreign policy are shaped by my experience as a military officer. I will work to provide our troops with the tools they need to succeed in our pursuit of Al-Qaeda or any group that threatens our nation.Poverty
Poverty is a deeply personal issue for me. When I was growing up, my father lost his job and my family suffered through years of unemployment. I know the toll poverty takes on an individual and I know how hard people who are poor must work to survive. It is a priority of mine to make sure that we provide basic assistance so those in need can get back on their feet.
Reducing Gun Violence
My State of the Union guest was Denise Reed, the mother of a fourteen year old honor roll student who was killed by a stray bullet from an AK-47 near her home in Chicago. Our country is in need of common sense legislation that prevents gun violence. While I will continue to protect the Second Amendment rights of marksmen like myself, there are immediate steps we can take that will ensure the safety of our children, military installations and communities.Transportation
Improving our nation's transportation and infrastructure is vital to our economy. By connecting diverse communities across the nation by roads, railways, bridges, runways and waterways, our transportation framework has allowed commerce to thrive.
Veterans Affairs
As a member of the Armed Services Committee, a 21-year member of the National Guard and a Veteran myself, I understand the sacrifices Veterans have made for our country, and I am committed to serving those who have defended our freedoms.Women's Rights
Throughout America's history, women have made extraordinary contributions to our nation. Women have made significant milestones by voicing our opinions for equality in the workplace, government and military. While we still have a long way to go in gaining full equality for women, we should look to our recent successes to reinforce the belief that change is possible.

Sept. 30-Oct. 6, 2008
Luncheon: Live from YouTube Our 23rd Annual Luncheon and Symposium is just a month away, and we don't want you to miss it. See and hear what we have planned: Watch our video now at cfw.org or see it on Facebook. And add us as a friend if you're on Facebook or MySpace. To see the luncheon itself, you have to buy your tickets now. And registration for the morning symposium is free as always. This year it focuses on "The Art of Social Justice: How Creativity Complements Advocacy." WBEZ recently featured Global Girls Inc., a Foundation grantee, on its "Eight Forty-Eight" program to get their opinions on the pregnancy of Bristol Palin, teenage daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Global Girls is a youth development organization that uses the performing arts to equip girls with strong communication and leadership skills. Featuring the girls on the program "really validated the work that we do at the ground level, educating girls about their own issues and looking at [teen pregnancy] through a national lens," said Marvinetta Woodley-Penn, executive director. When the girls heard themselves, "they said, 'this is real,' that their own voices matter. People out there were really interested in what they had to say." Click here to listen to the segment or read the transcript. Spotlight on Margaret GarnerModern-day Margaret Garners are women whose life experiences mirror the tragic yet heroic life of this slavery survivor. Read a synopsis of the opera Toni Morrison based on her life.The story: Louisiana State Representative John LaBruzzo last week floated an idea to pay low-income women to be sterilized in order to reduce the number of people who would qualify for public assistance. LaBruzzo's program would give $1,000 incentives for tubal ligation, and possibly for vasectomies for men, as well as encourage higher-income, college-educated women to have more children. Following a firestorm of debates sparked by LaBruzzo's public suggestion of the program, LaBruzzo now suggests offering more funding to "temporary" contraceptive methods, "acknowledging that poor women might decide at a later time, when they are in a better economic position, to have children," The Times-Picayune in New Orleans reports. LaBruzzo is anti-choice and does not favor offering low-cost or free abortion services. What's missing: Though LaBruzzo says he was brainstorming new ways to reduce poverty, there's nothing new about population control (read: eugenics) and sterilization specifically. As The Times-Picayune found, public aid spending is not skyrocketing as LaBruzzo implies. In the last 16 years, Louisiana welfare spending has dropped from $187.2 million to $16.5 million, "less than legislators earmarked for pet projects," the article states. Then there is the issue of reproductive justice, based on four cornerstones: to become a parent and parent with dignity; to determine whether or when to have children; to have a healthy pregnancy, and to have healthy and safe families and relationships. (A report by the Center for American Progress (PDF) uses this definition.) Communities of color disproportionately face challenges to these rights, and Louisiana has the country's second-largest African American population (about one-third of residents), according to 2005 Census data. Instead of extending access for reproductive health and economic opportunity, which would focus on the women in need, LaBruzzo's strategy portrays low-income women as incapable of responsible decision-making. Much more can be and has been said: Read an in-depth post on feminist and reproductive justice at the blog Elle PhD and a brief overview in Ms. Magazine's Feminist Daily Wire. (Thanks to Feministe for the Elle PhD heads-up.)The Margaret Garner connection: Forced pregnancy and sterilization are two sides of the same coin. For women enslaved as Garner was, the choice of whether and how to have children was taken away by slaveowners. Historical accounts tell us that the real Margaret Garner was probably the child of her plantation owner's father, and most of her own children were fathered by his son—her own half-brother. Though trafficking through the slave trade was illegal by the time Margaret Garner's story took place, plantation owners like hers used rape and forced pregnancy to produce new generations of slaves. When Margaret Garner killed her daughter to prevent her return to slavery, she was charged with destruction of property, not murder. This shows that not only did slavery dehumanize enslaved people, it hurt enslaved women in particular by making their fertility a tool of oppression. As we learned from LaBruzzo, threads of that legacy continue. Discuss topics like this and more at a conversation, "Margaret Garner in Context": 3-4:30 p.m. on Tues., Oct. 7, cosponsored with Roosevelt University's Women's and Gender Studies Program. Please join us at this free public event at Roosevelt's Chicago Loop campus, 430 S. Michigan Ave.AnalysisWorld Contraception Day was Fri., Sept. 26. Read about the latest statistics and trends from the Guttmacher Institute, and contrast this problem-and-solution from Guttmacher with the "What's Missing" story above: "Unintended pregnancy and abortion are increasingly becoming concentrated among low-income and minority women, who often lack access to high-quality contraceptive counseling and services. This underscores the urgent need to increase investments in subsidized family planning services through the federal Title X program, as well as by increasing eligibility for such services under Medicaid."A transgender woman's appearance on reality TV is drawing public attention to gender identity issues. Isis King, as a contestant on the CW Television Network show "America's Next Top Model," let viewers "see real gay and transgender people facing many of the same ups and downs as everybody else," said Neil G. Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, the Associated Press reports. Activists say King provides an alternative to TV transgender stereotypes of "sex workers or villains." On the show, King met with prejudice and support: Some competitors used male pronouns or called her a "drag queen," while others were more sensitive. One contestant helped distract King from pain while she injected female hormones. King was born physically male but lives as a woman and plans to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Foundation News On Sept. 18, we welcomed back Jasmeet Kaur Sidhu from Alliance for Justice to lead a workshop on how nonprofits can be involved in lobbying and election-related activities. About 23 of our grantee partners attended. Legal restrictions on lobbying are crucial for nonprofits to know because 501(c)(3) organizations risk losing their tax exempt status if they engage in too much or certain kinds of lobbying. Unfortunately, laws governing what such nonprofits can do are confusing at best. And different rules apply during the months leading up to an election. The Alliance's website has free resources for how 501(c)(3)s can decide how much and how often to lobby, as well as many wonderful books for sale. For this election season, don't miss the Alliance's free fact sheet (PDF) on how to talk about voter outreach and protection with candidates and elected officials. Thank you to the Alliance for another spectacular training.Amber Smock (left), the 2008 Founders' Award for Young Women Advocates honoree for her work on feminist disability activism, will be using her award money to travel worldwide. She has started the blog Amber Tracker to allow us to follow her progress and experiences. Smock will "travel to meet and mobilize women with disabilities and Deaf women to take action on our human and civil rights," she says on the blog. She and Bridget, her ASL interpreter, start off this week in Seoul, South Korea. Read more at our Press Room and our Past Events at cfw.org. Update: New Cook County Hospital CFO plans reformsPitt Calkin, the newly named interim chief financial officer of the restructured Cook County Health and Hospitals system, told board members on Friday his plan to restore lost services while saving money. Calkin's $80 million proposal for 2009 would reap $50 million in returns by one year later, Calkin claims. We are encouraged that his budget proposes new full-time health service providers, which will help restore the lost services from the drastic 2007 cuts. Though the board's finance committee was skeptical of the budget's size, in light of the system's debts from unclaimed Medicaid payments and patient fees, it has sent the budget draft to the hospital board of directors. They will make final budget recommendations to the Cook County Commissioners. Rob Olmstead at the Daily Herald has more. We will keep you updated if and when services and jobs are restored and more about the final budget's outlook for women and girls.

Efficient Online Structured Output Learning for Keypoint-Based Object Tracking AbstractEfficient keypoint-based object detection methods are used in many real-time computer vision applications. These approaches often model an object as a collection of keypoints and associated descriptors, and detection then involves first constructing a set of correspondences between object and image keypoints via descriptor matching, and subsequently using these correspondences as input to a robust geometric estimation algorithm such as RANSAC to find the transformation of the object in the image. In such approaches, the object model is generally constructed of- fline, and does not adapt to a given environment at runtime. Furthermore, the feature matching and transformation estimation stages are treated entirely separately. In this paper, we introduce a new approach to address these problems by combining the overall pipeline of correspondence generation and transformation estimation into a single structured output learning framework. Following the recent trend of using efficient binary descriptors for feature matching, we also introduce an approach to approximate the learned object model as a collection of binary basis functions which can be evaluated very efficiently at runtime. Experiments on challenging video sequences show that our algorithm significantly improves over state-of-the-art descriptor matching techniques using a range of descriptors, as well as recent online learning based approaches.

I think you can get this from most meat products but they recommend you take supplements for maximum dosage. Other than that, I've heard that Yoga and acupuncture have been effective treatments as well.
