I dont know what rent is like but 1000 is at most maybe first month and deposit if you get a spot on your own. Thats even before utilities.
Im thinking maybe looking into renting a room from someone would be a good way. 1000 should be enough for a couple months while you get a job and all that. If theres a college nearby, should be pretty easy to find some cool dudes you can rent a room with. Then you wont have to worry about getting approved for your own spot or whatever and not having solid work yet. |

#2 - Save up some cash before you make the move.... You don't want to get where you're going and find out then, that your plans have a few cracks in them. So, always have some emergency cash ready. #3 - Most jobs have and will give you relocation expenses ... depending on the type of job it is. Always ask, if you have the skills to pay the bills. #4 - Plan, plan and plan some more ... expect the unexpected. Everything can be worked out on paper or in your head, but rarely do things happen that way in reality .... have a backup plan. #5 - Find self-storage space in your target area, just in case you have to store your stuff temporarily. #6 - Most importantly, get to know the area before you sign a lease .... |

Just find the best cheapest living situation.
Decide on what city you want to go to, find an area that's close to your house that has all the things you want and need, and google cheap apartments or if you're single and want to save money, go to roomates.com sometimes you can get a great deal on a room with somebody you can stand depending on the area. Some areas have much higher rent than others so do your research on good deals Also don't forget to take in the cost of electricity, water, and cable/internet/phone. If you dont have a car a city where you dont have to drive everywhere is beneficial. Some cities like miami have almost no transport system and if you don't have a car you're ****ed because everything is so far away from each other. Last edited by Genius~; 06-19-2012 at 07:31 PM. |

the first logical step would be to get a roommate and a job and live and work locally to start out
when you get a cash base and start to get on your feet (and your lease with your roomie(s) is close to ending you can look at stuff in another city it's easiest to find a job when you're currently employed. you will want to get an entry level job for starters and work your way up. local job and roommate(s) first you're going to need a job (and a couple grand to put down,) to qualify for a lease. you'll probably need a cosigner for your first lease.

I live with a few roomies in a 3 bedroom house in a great city and combined it's only 1200 dollars. Some schmuck in NYC is paying that for an apartment the size of a closet. |

my mortgage is a fraction of what it costs to rent a studio in NYC, and MA is an expensive state and i'm in a nice city. crazy as that sounds; it's the truth the difference is the down payment. b1g d1ck, baby. |

UCAN needs your support
Dear Reader,
You are why we do what we do - report, describe, comment, review. It is to bring to your eyes just what life is like for believers across Asia that we publish UCAN.
But as you know, the effort needs to be sustained if it is to have continuing effect.
UCAN publishes some 150 stories a week in four languages across six websites. We are grateful to benefactors in Europe and the US who support us. But those countries and the Church there are under increasing financial strain and their generosity no longer covers our costs.
We need financial help from our readers to sustain our efforts. Our reporters, editors, video producers and photographers all have families and we need to support them. They do excellent jobs, but they can't do their jobs for nothing.
Will you help us to sustain UCAN? Please click here to help.
Thanks in anticipation.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director
Caritas wins fishermenтАЩs release
Church efforts succeed in freeing men attacked by pirates and held by India
Sri Lankan boats in a harbor- ucanews.com reporter, Beruwala
- Sri Lanka
- June 16, 2011
"The authorities would have struggled to get the fishermen back had it not been for Caritas representatives in both┬аSri Lanka┬аand┬аIndia," said S. P. Anthonimuthu, coordinator of Caritas Sri Lanka.
The four fishermen were among a crew of six who were attacked by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean in November last year. ┬аThe pirates abducted two of the crew тАУ who were later released and returned to Sri Lanka -- and forced the other four to help them attack an oil tanker using their fishing boat.
After the tanker was taken the four crewmen were held for ransom but after Caritas appealed for their release they were taken back out to sea and freed by the pirates.
They were later picked up by Indian coast guards and taken to Minicoy Island on December 3, where they remained in custody as a result of what they call bureaucratic inactivity.
National director Father George Sigamoney and other Caritas officials however worked through diplomatic channels during that time to win the fishermenтАЩs release.
For the┬аlast six months weтАЩve written hundreds of letters and made thousands of telephone calls, to try and win their freedom, Anthonimuthu said.
The four fishermen, who arrived home later on Tuesday, said if it had not been for Caritas their hopes of getting back home may not have been realized.
тАЬWe are indebted to Caritas for bringing us back,тАЭ said Ruwan T. Fernando, 31, after returning to his hometown of Beruwala.
He criticized the government for тАЬnot tryingтАЭ to speed up their return.
"Two of our colleagues captured by the┬аSomali pirates┬аwere able to return home earlier than us,тАЭ he said.
тАЬWe were not fishing illegally. We are innocent fishermen.┬аIt wouldnтАЩt have been difficult to get us back. Instead the government let us languish for six months,тАЭ he complained.

Influence of layer charge and charge distribution of smectites on the flow behaviour and swelling of bentonites
Applied Clay Science
- By:
- G.E. Christidis, A.E. Blum, and D.D. Eberl
DOI: 10.1016/j.clay.2006.05.008
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
- Download citation as: RIS
The influence of layer charge and charge distribution of dioctahedral smectites on the rheological and swelling properties of bentonites is examined. Layer charge and charge distribution were determined by XRD using the LayerCharge program [Christidis, G.E., Eberl, D.D., 2003. Determination of layer charge characteristics of smectites. Clays Clay Miner. 51, 644-655.]. The rheological properties were determined, after sodium exchange using the optimum amount of Na2CO3, from free swelling tests. Rheological properties were determined using 6.42% suspensions according to industrial practice. In smectites with layer charges of - 0.425 to - 0.470 per half formula unit (phfu), layer charge is inversely correlated with free swelling, viscosity, gel strength, yield strength and thixotropic behaviour. In these smectites, the rheological properties are directly associated with the proportion of low charge layers. By contrast, in low charge and high charge smectites there is no systematic relation between layer charge or the proportion of low charge layers and rheological properties. However, low charge smectites yield more viscous suspensions and swell more than high charge smectites. The rheological properties of bentonites also are affected by the proportion of tetrahedral charge (i.e. beidellitic charge), by the existence of fine-grained minerals having clay size, such as opal-CT and to a lesser degree by the ionic strength and the pH of the suspension. A new method for classification of smectites according to the layer charge based on the XRD characteristics of smecites is proposed, that also is consistent with variations in rheological properties. In this classification scheme the term smectites with intermediate layer charge is proposed. ?? 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.Additional Publication Details

Now, this might be a very newbie question, but I don't really have experience with multithreaded programming and I haven't fully understood how threads work compared to processes.
When a process on my machine hangs, say it's waiting for some IO that never comes or something similar, I can kill and restart it because other processes aren't affected and can, for example, still operate my terminal. This is very obvious, of course.
I'm not sure whether it is the same with threads inside a process: If one hangs, are the others unaffected? In other words, can I run a "watchdog" thread which supervises the other threads and, for example kill and recreate hanging threads? For example, if I have a threadpool that I don't want to be drained by occasional hangups.

men's golf reigns in the rain
One of these days, warm weather will finally arrive for good. And perhaps the Muhlenberg mens golf team will have a tournament that day.
Until then, the Mules will have to settle for competing in the cold, rain and wind. But thats just fine with them if theyre winning tournaments.
Muhlenberg won the Moravian Spring Invitational by one stroke over Rutgers-Camden and Moravian for its third tournament title of the 2010-11 year. The Mules also won at Moravian and their own tournament in the fall, and at all three tournaments they had to deal with less-than-ideal conditions.
Today, just like every day, I told the guys to stay patient and keep grinding, said senior Zachary Oyer. When we get into this weather I feel we have a competitive advantage as we do not let it affect us. Im proud of how all our guys stayed together, grinding it out, knowing that each and every stroke counts.
Oyer was one of only seven golfers (out of 97) to break 80, playing at even par over the back nine to finish with a 6-over-par 78, good for fifth. He has shot in the 70s in all but one of his 11 rounds this year.
Freshman Chris DiMaio (right) tied for eighth with an 80, one stroke ahead of senior Eric Boskey. Senior Jordan Carpenter rounded out the Mules top four with an 82.
This is the second time in the last four years that Muhlenberg has won three tournaments.

The Last WhaleA timely reminder of how far we've come since the days of routine slaughter, of how hard conservationists fought to bring it to an end, and how vigilant we must be in making sure that the dark days of whaling are behind us forever.' - Tim Winton '... an important contribution to Australian history and to the protection of whales. From a historical perspective, it chronicles the people and events which created Greenpeace in Australia and it also seeks to understand the minds and thinking of those who hunted whales in Australia ...' - Steve Shallhorn, CEO Greenpeace Australia Pacific Jean-Paul Fortom-Gouin, aka the Phantom, is man on an anti-whaling mission who wangles his way onto the International Whaling Commission with a snappy suit and ticket from the Panamanian Government. Ches Stubbs, Skipper of the whaling ship Cheynes III, is known for his long range skills with a harpoon. Just like Ahab, Ches loses a leg while whaling and, just like a pirate, sails with a pet cockatoo that happens to have a penchant for gnawing on naked toes. These are just two of the real-life characters captured with heart and humour by Chris Pash in his story about the end of whaling in Australia. The book shows a town reliant on whaling dollars pitted against a determined band of international protesters. Officially endorsed by Greenpeace International |

It never fails that when my five year-old borrows a book from his school�s library it�s about whales or dolphins. Feeding the belugas and watching the orcas at Canada�s Marineland was the highlight of our family vacation. So when I had the opportunity to review The Last Whale by Chris Pash, I was thrilled.
The minute I began reading it, I had flashbacks of the movie Free Willy 3: The Rescue, where whalers illegally hunted killer whales. The Last Whale, though, is the incredible story of how whaling came to an end in Australia, the last of the English-speaking countries to do so in 1978. The author says he was a pimply reporter at the time (1977), when activists launched Greenpeace�s first direct action in Australia. This small group of men and women risked their lives as they daily went out in open dinghies (Zodiacs), and became a human shield between the whales and the towering steel ships. They braved the rough Southern Ocean, the blistering sun, flying harpoons, and endless hours miles away from land in water that was also home to great white sharks. The threat of their appearance was real every time a whale was killed and its blood spilled.
What I loved most about this well-told story was that the author gave us a detailed account relating not only the actions and feelings of the anti-whaling activists, but also the fears, motives and actions of the whalers. We get a chance to know their story and their history as some of the whalers learned their trade from their fathers who in turn learned from their fathers. It is a story about Albany, the town where it all took place, whose port is one of the five largest in the world, and the unemployment rate one of the highest in Australia. The struggle they all faced with the ethical issue of whether it is right or wrong to hunt whales was clear, and it needed to be addressed. The world took notice, and the small band of activists soon had many allies.
Although the book is a non-fiction account, it reads like a novel thanks to Pash�s writing skills. I felt I was in Western Australia in the seventies watching the fight unfold before me. The black and white photographs add drama to the account as we could see exactly what a whale chaser looked like with a loaded harpoon gun at its helm, or the upclose face shot of The Phantom�as one of the leading activists was known�as he sits in the open seas with a chaser seen clearly behind him. And the book�s cover is so attractive. It led me to really want to read this account. By the end of the book, I wanted to meet some of these interesting folk, both from the activist and whaler groups.
I highly recommend this book to conservation groups, whale and animal lovers, activists, journalists, and just about anyone who loves happy endings. It is an inspiring tale. One that will surely come to mind when next summer I visit Tadoussac in my own province of Quebec, where the mouth of the St-Lawrence River opens invitingly to welcome back the migrating whales�those beautiful ocean creatures that fascinate both young and old alike.

The Chelsea midfielder has rejected suggestions that the Three Lions are "terrible" but acknowledged that they have plenty of things to work on before they arrive in Brazil.
Frank Lampard admits England still has plenty of room for improvement ahead of the 2014 World Cup, after an experimental lineup lost 2-0 against Chile at Wembley on Friday night.Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring early on before wrapping up the win with a cute finish in stoppage time, ending an unbeaten run for the Three Lions that stretched back to November 2012.
Lampard, who made his 103rd appearance and was presented with his golden cap, has rejected notions that England has been dealt a reality check but conceded that there is work to do ahead of next summer's tournament in Brazil.
"We are very aware of the job in hand," the 35-year-old midfielder told the Football Association's official website. "We are not on the moon and we are not terrible – we are somewhere in between. We have got a long way to go.
"We need to concentrate on what we are doing, we have got another game against top class opposition on Tuesday [against Germany] and we need to improve."
Lampard was keen to praise Chile afterwards and, despite the defeat, was pleased to test himself against a different style of opponent.
"They are a good team first and foremost. We knew that coming in to the game. It is a different style to what we have been playing recently," the Chelsea ace added. "It was a great exercise for us. Nobody wants to lose a game. They scored early and late, and we had quite a few chances in the middle.
"It is one we need to take the positives out of going forward, we created some good stuff at times."

Chapter 7: Boll Weevil
The story was boxed across the top of the front page of the Sunday edition. It was even above the masthead. Of all the stories I had ever written, nothing came close to this, my first story as a reporter at the Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester.
Not only did the story herald my arrival, but there was also a photograph of me, which was a way of letting readers know that for the first time the newspaper had a reporter who was black.
I'd arrived in town expecting the newspaper to make good on a promise. Back when they were wooing me, I was told that if I accepted the job, they would have an apartment waiting in a luxury building not far from the newspaper. When I got to town and mentioned all of this, I got a blank stare. Nobody knew what I was talking about. Then, Dick Dougherty came up with his idea.
He was the city editor, and on my first day at the D&C, he told me of all the complaints that he was getting from blacks. "They say the housing here is really segregated," he said. "I don't know if that's true or not. You have to find an apartment. We don't need to phony up anything. We can use your experience to tell a true story of what the situation really is."
"Will you do it?" he asked.
Dougherty was a tall, thin guy whose hair was white even though he didn't look to be a day past 35. His style was low key but very persuasive. I had never reported and written a story about race, and what Dougherty was suggesting caught me off-guard. But I was just starting out on a new job; there was no way I was going to say no to my city editor.
Dougherty wanted two reporters on the story, one white and one black. The plan was for each of us to try separately to rent the same apartment. The white reporter was Bill Vogler. He was a veteran on the staff at the D&C and he liked the idea. The two of us got newspapers and circled apartments in my price range. Then we got started.
After we had visited about five or six apartments, Vogler asked me, "Are you sure you're actually going into these places?" He did not understand. I would just reach the door and promptly be told, "The apartment has already been rented." Right after I was told that no apartment was available, Vogler would visit the same place and be invited inside. He'd get a whole spiel on how great the apartment was, why he'd like it and what the neighborhood had to offer.
My experience was so different that at times it would be downright embarrassing. One building had a big sign on the lawn, Apartment for Rent. I was heading up the sidewalk when a window on the second floor opened. A woman leaned out and hollered: "If you're coming for the apartment, forget it. It's already rented."
Once I explained all this to Vogler, we kept going. We visited apartment after apartment. It was always the same: no to me, yes to him. I just kept making notes of everything that happened. At the typewriter, I got my chance to tell the story.
The day after the story was published, blacks began showing up in the newsroom "to meet Earl Caldwell." Some would barge right past the receptionist. These were not ordinary citizens. Some people called these visitors troublemakers. They called themselves activists, which meant they were in the forefront of stoking, shaping and channeling the anger they said was growing in Rochester's two black communities, the Third and Seventh wards. The newspaper itself was a target of their anger. They said they never saw reporters in their neighborhoods "except when there's trouble" and accused the newspaper of not covering the important issues in their communities.
They looked to me to change that. They said that they expected to see me in their communities to tell the stories that were not being told. The irony was that in a sense, my editor and the activists were saying the same thing. "You can find out what the facts are," Dougherty had challenged me. "We expect you to tell the story," the activists said in inviting me to the ghetto. I was being handed what every reporter wants: a big and important story.
The front-page story of my experience in hunting an apartment had given me the kind of notoriety that a reporter new in town could only dream of getting. The reaction was overwhelming. Once the story was published, so many whites called to offer an apartment that I had to write another piece just to tell that story. One very nice woman, also white, did rent me a place not far from the office. But even though I had settled in, black folks still hung a nickname on me.
They called me boll weevil. The name came from the title of a popular song, and when they'd see me, they'd say, with a lot of laughter, "Here comes boll weevil. He's still looking for a home."

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 3 Roger Federer survived tough scrapes in the round of 16 on Wednesday at Indian Wells, with Djokovic up again on Thursday after a tough three-setter.
Djokovic overcame a second-set hiccup to defeat Spaniard Pablo Andujar 6-0, 6-7(5), 6-2, setting up a meeting with the hot-handed No. 12 seed Nicolas Almagro, who steamrolled No. 7 Tomas Berdych 6-4, 6-0.
"He surprised me with his aggressive approach. He was taking the ball early and was playing well," Djokovic said of Andujar. "Second set, I start playing a little bit more defensive, and that allowed him to come back to the match. All the credit for him to play the way he played. The second set I could have won, but I managed to stay calm mentally and just find my rhythm again."
Federer likewise needed three sets to subdue Tomaz Bellucci 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
"I struggled early on making the transition from day to night," Federer said. "I wasn't playing well so it was good to get the win."
Other winners were No. 2 Rafael Nadal, No. 13 Gilles Simon outlasting American Ryan Harrison 6-1 in the third, No. 11 John Isner, and unseeded David Nalbandian upsetting No. 6 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in three. Nadal and Nalbandian will meet in a much-anticipated grinder.
In women's singles quarterfinals action on Wednesday, world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka blew out No. 5 Aga Radwanska 6-0, 6-2, and No. 18 Angelique Kerber upset No. 8 Li Na 6-4, 6-2.
"I was executing my shots brilliantly," said Azarenka who improved to 21-0 on the season.
Radwanska fell to 1-5 career against Azarenka.
"I was pissed, yeah, in the first set especially losing 6-love is not fun," Radwanska said. "Especially when you expect that you're at this kind of level that you can beat anyone. But then I was seeing that she was playing just too good."
The top-ranked American doubles pair of twins Bob and Mike Bryan withdrew from their quarterfinal match when Mike fell ill with the viral illness sweeping through the tournament.
Thursday play includes (1) Novak Djokovic vs. (12) Nicolas Almagro, an all-Russian match-up with (2) Maria Sharapova va. (20) Maria Kirilenko, (7) Marion Bartoli vs. (15) Ana Ivanovic, and Gilles Simon vs. (11) John Isner.

Madrid owes us two passports
Trip Start
Dec 21, 2009
Trip End
Jul 17, 2010
We touched down in Madrid airport and got onto a train to the centre of town. A couple of train changes later we arrived at our hotel. We were excited at the prospect of sleeping in a proper bed and flushing toilet paper into a sewerage system that could handle it without spitting it back in our faces. Our excitement joined the toilet paper on its trip down the crapper when the concierge asked us for our passports and we were unable to produce them. We searched top and bottom to no avail. The search party was called off when we found a hole just large enough to fit two passports cut into one of our bags. Adios y buen viaje dos pasaporte. Close to 6 months in Latin America, travelling through countries where kidnappings, murders and drugs are commonplace and less than 1 hour in Spain is all it takes for us to have something stolen. With our passports went any chance of making our flight to Morocco the next day. When we told the concierge that we had our bag slashed, he knew we'd caught the train. Apparently this happens a lot to tourists in Madrid. Nic's pretty sure it was the guy wearing a purple shirt who was holding onto a jumper over his forearm. That's probably what was used to disguise his blade. Makes sense, who would carry a jumper when it's nearly 35 degrees outside? Needless to say for the rest of our trip I was on the lookout for purple shirted jumper carrying men to beat up. You could just see the headlines now, "Aussie tourist breaks innocent man's arm for wearing purple and carrying jumper" - and that was just me, imagine what Nic would have done if she'd found him!
Petty theft here is so common that they have a system where you can call a hotline to make a police report. You get someone who speaks perfect English who takes down all of your details. Then you go down to a station and get them to confirm the details and print out a report. A couple of stamps and a signature or two later and you're done. It's all very efficient. In and out in less than 10 minutes. But you have to worry when the process for reporting a theft is that streamlined.
We spent the next couple of days sorting out our passports and enjoying the rest of Madrid. We were actually due to spend time in Madrid after we'd visited Morocco, so we just decided to move our plans forward a few weeks while we waited for passports and flights to be sorted out. It's a lovely city and we made the most of the long summer days, cool squares and yummy food. When it comes to curing meats, the Spanish know their stuff. You have to love a country that has a store called the Museum of Ham (Museo de Jamon). We spent some time enjoying a proper bed, checking out the sights and moving around on our own time. No schedules to keep to, just Nic and I walking the streets, watching some football (it helped that the Spanish were doing well in the World Cup), eating lots and drinking lots as well. We also checked out plenty of cool museums but I came to realise that I really don't "get" modern art. My level of comprehension is so low that I can't even tell you what I don't get. Check out some of the examples in the pictures. We saw a can that was labelled "Artiste's Faeces" which I could only take to mean that the contents was as advertised. Very arty farty (pun was poor but intended). We also saw a piece of art that was literally a few fluorescent lights stuck to a wall. All of that was enough to make my head spin. The only remedy was a nice tapas place and some icy cold beer. Thankfully that wasn't too hard to find. Not all the museums were incomprehensible. Most of them were actually really good and truly world class. All that being said, Madrid's definitely a city that we'll be visiting again soon.
In our next blog, we get to Morocco after sorting out our passports and find out that the one thing I was banking on in Morocco fails to deliver.

Fish Beat: Temps hamper local fishing
It's not often when temperatures reach 80 degrees at mid-day and breath-condensing conditions through the evenings. This summer, especially July, seems like an exception. Whether global warming, El Nino or the next ice age is responsible certainly isn't worth debating. What is known is drastic July temperature fluctuations have made the fishing a bit slow.
In the last 10 days or so, it's almost as though some species made a mass exodus or a pact to simply stop eating. Truth be known, the latter is usually the case during unusually intermittent cold and hot fronts.
While Illinois bluegills usually stay relatively active year round, the last week has been slow, to say the least. By July, fans of the little fighter usually have a freezer full, dozens of stories to tell, and secrets they won't reveal. July is in the books, and bluegill are still at large.
With only a few 12- to 14-inch largemouths per outing these days, resorting to near winter and fall techniques for walleye, muskie and northern pike have been resorted to by a slew of area bass fishers. Smallmouths are biting on leeches and bright-colored plastic worms.
This, too, shall pass…maybe
Generally, fish don't feed as often in cold weather. Food is scarce and metabolisms slow. After the last ice, water temperatures rise and feeding patterns increase. By summer, most fish toggle between deep, open water as the temperatures dictate. This year, as it feels like fall, some species have begun their journey to these depths significantly early. When this occurs, a string of hot days is all they need to get back on schedule.
Keep in mind, this is the Midwest. While there is enough time for a warm August to save area fishing, anything like July could prompt even the most successful anglers to get their tip-ups and jig poles ready for the ice. We'll see.
Send us your fishing photos
The Rock River Times is interested in seeing pictures of local fish caught in area waters. Send digital photos to us at firstname.lastname@example.com with "Fish Beat Photos" in the subject line. Glossies can be sent to The Rock River Times, 128 N. Church St., Rockford, IL 61101.

I had never seen moss like this before. Each individual frond is like a fern-hence, fern moss. A book cites it as Hylocomium splendens. However, it could be something completely different, although a type of moss. I posted two different kinds of fern moss in the two pictures, both found along the trail and on the forest floor.

More On Legal & Compliance
from The Advisor's Professional Library- Nothing but the Best Execution Along with the many other fiduciary obligations owed by RIAs, firms owe a duty to seek best execution of clients transactions. If they fail to do, RIAs violate Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act.
- Dealings With Qualified Clients and Accredited Investors Depending upon an RIAs business model and investment strategies, it may be important to identify "qualified clients" and "accredited investors." The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the SEC to change which clients are defined by those terms.
Most advisors use Windows-based machines in their offices to do everything from customer relationship management to financial planning, but two recent announcements by partners to advisors show that Apple is gaining a presence among advisors beyond placing AAPL into client portfolios.
MFS Investment Management said it has launched a iPad application for use by its U.S. wholesalers while its website, mfs.com, has been optimized to work with iPads and iPhones.
Like other mutual fund wholesalers, MFS' wholesalers can now share documents and build presentations on iPads with advisors away from their desktop machines, and link to third-party analytics to perform due diligence on MFS mutual funds.
Laserfiche, the international document management software firm, now offers its Laserfiche Mobile users the ability to use an iPhone's onboard camera (or an iPad's, for that matter, though fewer iPad owners use its camera) to take photographs of documents. Those photographed documents are converted into images that are securely placed into the advisor or broker-dealer's document repository in the same way that an iPhone user would email a photo.
Once in the repository, an advisor can use Laserfiche Mobile for iPad to view that photographed document immediately, or have other authorized LaserFiche users view that document. Then, using Laserfiche Mobile's Document Viewer, the advisor or compliance officer can email, print or rename the document, all while using an interface familiar to iPhone users.
The process, as demonstrated by Laserfiche engineer Brett Hickinbotham in an interview Monday in New York, shows how simple and intuitive Laserfiche has made the process of uploading and managing documents using an iPhone and iPad.

ASIA/CHINA -Priestly ordinations, a new mission station and a procession in the snow for the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Patron of the Church in China
Shi Jia Zhuang (Agenzia Fides) – The priestly ordinations, the inauguration of a new mission station, a procession under the snow with the statue of St. Joseph: are some celebrations that marked the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Patron of the Church in China in the Catholic community, which has a great devotion for Him According to Fides by Faith of He Bei, the diocese of Shang Hai lived with great joy the ordination of seven priests (celebrated on Sunday, March 18 because March 19 is a working day in China) that mark "the continuity of the mission in China." After 9 years of study and 2 years of pastoral activity in the parishes, the seven deacons received their priestly ordaination by the ordinary Bishop, the 90-year-old Bishop Jin Lu Xian. The diocese of Ning Xiang, which is located in a remote area in the northwestern part of the continent, lived the ordination of a priest the day before the feast of St. Joseph, which was attended by over 800 faithful. So the number of priests of the diocese, which has 12 thousand faithful has reached 16.
Instead, for the faithful of the community of Hou Shan district, inhabited by the minority ethnic group belonging to the Diocese of Chong Qing, the days when they were forced to travel dozens of miles to attend Mass finally came to an end. On 19 March the new mission station in the district of Shan Hou was inaugurated: more than 200 faithful attended the blessing and the solemn Eucharist. Finally, the community of the parish of Zhao Zhuang, dedicated to St. Joseph, in the town of Xing Tai of the province of He Bei, celebrated its patron saint with a solemn procession that took place under a heavy snowfall. Over a thousand faithful attended, regardless of the weather, bringing during the procession a huge statue of St. Joseph. (NZ) (Agenzia Fides 20/3/2012)

The Three Lions boss is "pretty sure" the Manchester United striker will lead out the national team at some point in the future, and sees him definitively as a striker
England manager Roy Hodgson has stated he is considering Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney as a potential captain of the national team for the upcoming friendlies against Ireland and Brazil.Regular captain Steven Gerrard will miss both matches after undergoing shoulder surgery, and Hodgson has hinted that Ashley Cole will be offered the role for one of the matches when he picks up his 100th cap.
However, Hodgson says he has had assurances from Rooney about his state of mind after handing in a second transfer request at Old Trafford, and with wife Colleen due to give birth to their second child in the near-future.
20/1 | England are 20/1 with William Hill to win World Cup 2014 |
"There are rumours circulating about whether he wants a move, whether Manchester United are prepared to sell him. It's a matter for Wayne, it's a matter for Manchester United and I'm sure it will all get sorted out between them and that it won't affect me.
"I've spoken to him. I was concerned because you know that his wife Coleen is having a baby not long before we meet up.
"But he was at great pains to assure me that he was really looking forward to playing for England, that it's something that's top of his agenda, and that's enough for me."
Rooney has not featured as regularly this season in an out-and-out attacking role for United, but Hodgson says that the national team still see him as a striker.
"As far as we're concerned, we regard Wayne as a forward, either in the advanced No.9 position, as he has for us on a couple of occasions, or possibly alongside a more advanced player," Hodgson added.
"Those are the two positions we consider him for. We know he can do that. We know he is happy doing that. But in club football things can vary."
Hodgson confirmed that Chelsea duo Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole will also be considered for the captaincy with the latter set to notch his 100th cap, but it would depend on their fitness following a post-season club trip to America.
"It would be a special gesture," Hodgson added. "I will ask [Cole]. He's receiving his cap at Wembley before the Republic of Ireland game, it's something for us to think about."

Former Shiv Sena MP returns to party fold after four months
In one of the quickest example of 'gayaram' (deserter) making a u-turn, five-term former Shiv Sena MP Mohan Rawale Tuesday decided to return to the party.
"Its true that I had left the Shiv Sena due to certain issues. However, I am a Shiv Sainik to the core and I cannot live without the party," Rawale told media persons Tuesday evening as he prepared for a welcome by party president Uddhav Thackeray at a public rally in south Mumbai.
He added that Shiv Sena was like "his breath" from which he could not stay away for long.
Denied a renomination from Mumbai South-Central seat, last Dec 2, Rawale had launched a vitriolic attack on Shiv Sena which he alleged was run by "dalals (touts)". He was immediately expelled.
Asked to comment on his allegations, Rawale clarified that he had criticized only the party and not party leader Uddhav Thackeray, but did not elaborate.
Elected in 1991, 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2004, he said he had no grievances against the Nationalist Congress Party - which did not give him a Lok Sabha nomination - or its chief Sharad Pawar - but simply "could not live without Shiv Sena".
In December, Rawale had cried foul and said Shiv Sena "is no longer the party it was under the late founder Bal Thackeray" in what was construed as a direct attack on Uddhav.
Also attacking Uddhav Thackeray's personal assistant, Milind Narvekar, whom he accused of "destroying the party", Rawale even refused to tender an apology for his remarks.

Welcome to "The Room"
The subscribers-only home page of Casey Research
The August edition of the International Speculator, is now available: click here.
Last updated: July 28, 2006
Dear Subscriber,
Who needs entertainment when all you need to do is turn on the news?
My personal favorite over the past week was the announcement yesterday that, on top of selling Venezuela boat loads of armaments, Putin's Russia would be investing billions into Venezuela, with a focus on the energy sector.
Can you say, "Yo, Bush… right back at you"? This for the U.S. foreign policy that has Cheney and company running all over Russia's backyard cutting energy and arms deals.
It's too early to see clearly the implications of this small but important bit of geopolitical one-upmanship, but there is little doubt that there will be implications.
This reminds me of GO, my favorite board game. An ancient Chinese game, it is often remarked that "If Chess is a battle, GO is a war". In GO, when you feel threatened in one sector of the large board, you typically open a new front in a far away corner, forcing your opponent to decide between continuing to attack you where he is, or redeploying in order to head off what may be a bigger loss down the road.
Make no mistake, political leaders – or at least those who are reasonably astute – well understand the principles expressed in the game of GO. And whatever his other qualities, Putin is clearly astute.
The current management of the U.S., however, seems somewhat less so.
That is, unless stumbling into the tar pit of Iraq while on the hunt for Osama bin Laden is part of a large and yet-to-be-revealed master stroke. Or, dealing ourselves into the latest war between Israel and its neighbors, first by stubbornly refusing to call for a cease fire until a "lasting solution" can be found... this in an area that has been in conflict for time immemorial and will remain so until it is someday covered in radioactive glass… and then by sending Condi into the fray.
Something tells me that Chinese diplomats aren't booking any flights to Beirut or Tel Aviv. That's because they, along with those from Japan and now India are busy trotting around the globe, not with soldiers but with briefcases, busily locking up energy and mineral concessions needed to assure strong economies for decades to come.
The U.S., empire though it may be, is instead focusing on only one small corner of the game board, preoccupied in its battle against "terrorists".
Now don't get me wrong. I don't like religious fanatics of any stripe, especially those who think killing people will buy them a ticket to paradise. But the Bush team's insistent attempts at trying to lump together virtually all of the world's many revolutionary factions, especially those where the members are Muslims, into a single, vaguely connected terrorist army with ill-intent towards America, is just a tick short of madness.
It wasn't Hezbollah that boarded those planes on 9/11… it was, most people believe, members of Al Qaeda. Not anti-Russian Czechan fighters, or anti-Israeli Hamas fighters.
Yet we declare ourselves at war with all of these people, no matter their cause, their particular sect, or even if they hate each other or someone else far more than they hate us. It is, as Doug calls it, a Forever War, a war without possible end.
What Does This Have to Do With Speculating?
What does this have to do with speculating in the resource sector, you might ask (especially those of you who favor the approach summed up by "kill them all and let God -- our God -- sort them out")? Everything.
Because while we chase ghosts in the Middle East and elsewhere around the world, creating more ghosts and more enemies in the process, the competition for natural resources is getting a serious leg up… and the big picture is falling apart.
In addition to Russia, China and others using our distraction to their advantage, there is a real threat to global trade, from the failure of the Doha Treaty, to heavy-handed trade sanctions being threatened against China by U.S. politicos talking tough in an election year. In retaliation, China is beginning to pass legislation limiting foreign investments in that country.
"Yo, right back at you!"
Meanwhile, the cost of the Forever War -- layered on top of the mountain of already out-of-control spending mandated by vote-seeking politicos – is helping to drive inflation up. Which, in turn, is helping to push interest rates up around the globe, with India, Japan and soon Australia the latest in a long list of countries where rates have either been raised, or soon will be.
The air in the U.S. housing bubble is already starting to hiss out. According to the U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, the first 3 months of 2006 saw 320,000 properties enter the foreclosure process, a 72% increase over the same period last year.
Adding to the immediate pain of higher mortgage payments as ARM's reset and borrowing costs rise, we have oil at persistent highs, the economic discomfort from which is only now beginning to kick in.
Regardless of the warning signs, the current administration – in league with the Democrats who seem to be trying to out-hawk the Republicans - stubbornly refuse to pay attention to anything other than the Middle East. In fact, given that the Pentagon has just announced it will be boosting troop levels in Iraq and is said to be considering issuing more stop loss orders, keeping soldiers in theater beyond their planned deployments, it seems as though we intend to get only deeper in the tar pit.
While I recognize that our subscriber base is made up of a diverse group, with a lot of opinions, we do share a common interest – namely to find intelligent ways to create personal wealth, thereby assuring ourselves and our families a more comfortable lifestyle than otherwise might be the case. That seems a perfectly reasonable objective, seeing how the average American retiring today will do so with about $60,000 in total net worth.
There is no doubt that the chaos in the Middle East will continue, and little doubt that we will continue to lose ground in the new Great Game by alienating the leaders and populations of countries containing much of the world's natural resources – Russia being just the latest example – and by dithering while other countries get down to business.
Based solely on the geopolitical front, the resource sector makes for a solid speculation. Toss into the mix a long list of monetary concerns, and investing in the resource sector becomes essential. That is, if you want to survive, let alone prosper, in the months and years ahead.
On Monday I am heading back to Argentina for another round of meetings on our real estate project (and a bit of fine dining, fine wine, horse back riding, golf…), so you'll likely be hearing from another of our editors in this space next week.
Those of you who have expressed interest in learning more about Argentina and the area where Doug and I, and a small group of friends, have been buying land, might be interested in a recent article on the area that appeared in the New York Times Sunday Travel Section. Here' a link:
While still a few months early, if you're interested in learning about the resort community we are working on with a development partner in Cafayate, drop us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll make sure you get some information as it becomes available.
But for now I must return to the tasks that inevitably must be done before leaving on a trip, and so sign off by thanking you for putting up with occasional rants, and for being subscribers to one or more of our publications.
Until next time…

The 2,996 Project
The idea is simple, but powerful: have a special tribute for each victim of 9/11, with each tribute being created by a different blogger. We started 2,996 Project to coordinate the creation of the tributes, and that's what this site is all about. Here you can sign up to make a tribute yourself, on your blog (we'll randomly assign a victim to you). You can also browse or search through either the victims that have already been assigned, or those that have not -- and you can get pointers to more information on all of them.
SIGN UP HERE (no cost, only a couple of hours of your time is required)
To date over 1900 bloggers have signed up, which means 1000 victims do not have a tribute writer assigned to them yet. The tributes are to be written on September 11th.
I signed up yesterday. The process took less than one minute. I was randomly assigned to do a tribute to John Iskyan. He left behind a wife and two young children. There is lots of information on the internet for all victims. Tributes have been done before. But this is a unique tribute which marks 5 years since the 9/11 tragedy.
Join up now. These victims need to be remembered.

Thnak you for advertising this: I just signed up and will be honoring Steven Francis Schlag..alhough I notice there is barely anything about him in my initial search! Ah, all the more reason to honor him. If you do not mind, I will link your site in my own blog, perhaps get a few more folks interested. Although, new to blogspot, I will post the link and the tribute on my current Xanga site:
