"Helping America Get In Touch With Its Feminine Side"
The tragedy at Pearl Harbor impacted America far beyond the strike of Japanese bombs. Fathers, brothers, husbands, and lovers were being sent overseas leaving their country, and women, behind. Still blissfully newlywed in 1941, *Mrs Andrews could never have guessed the hardship the following years would bring. Luckily, however, an opportunity arose that would change the way Americans saw women forever.
"When my husband heard about Pearl Harbor he said he'd be in the service in 6 months...and he was, almost to the day," said Andrews.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, it was safe to assume that her family life was about to radically change. By the time her husband got his draft card, she was prepared.
"Of course I was sad," Andrews said, "But it was what he was supposed to do...we had to put that out of our minds."
Living alone as a woman in 1941 was a daunting task. Weighted by sadness, but armed with a sense of duty, she was forced to take on responsibilities she had never experienced before. Her top priority, of course, was to find a job. Because of prior work with a local factory, Andrews received a call from Civil Service asking her to come for testing in Fort Wayne to see if she was qualified for a possible job opening with the Navy. "Someone must have been looking out for me," she said.
Only days after her husband was shipped overseas, Andrews began working at the Hosdreg factory in Huntington, which manufactured artillery shells. Aiding in the cause, she made over $17 a week--an exceptional wage during that time. Under the official title of Naval Ordinance Inspector, she spent her days in front of a conveyer belt, randomly inspecting thousands of artillery shells. Through their work at the company, women of Hosdreg did not let their efforts go unnoticed. Numerous employees received the prestigious "E" award for outstanding production and patriotism. Surprisingly, Rosie faced no harassment due to her gender during her time at Hosdreg.
"It really didn't matter, as long as you were qualified," she said.
While her husband was overseas and money was tight, friends and family insisted that she stay with them. Because of this, free time was spent in the company of loved ones. Like everything else, gas was rationed during wartime, and she was one of the few of her female co-workers who owned a car. "Gasoline bothered me the most because I had to be careful where I drove." Whenever she saved enough, her and her friends would drive to Fort Wayne to shop and eat at Azar's.
Toward the closing of WWII, Andrews position was terminated. "It was a wartime job, I knew that."
Her husband returned in early November, 1945 and the traditional normalcy she had once known returned along with him. Andrews, along with the other nine female inspectors, inadvertently became the model for generations of feminists to follow. These women have made giant leaps considering women had only gotten the rights to vote 20 years previously. The memories Andrews made and the strength she had shown gives an example of honor and duty all can learn from.
"It was our country, and we worked for it."
The subject of this story has requested we keep her first name confidential.

Product Details
Just when we thought they couldn't get better, our classic ballets step it up a notch in sleek patent leather. We didn't skimp on comfort, either: They're loaded with easy-on-the-feet details, including a cushioned insole and a removed shank, making them more flexible for all-day wearability.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1
Rated 5 out of 5 by Momofone Please Bring These Back!
I have several pairs of classic ballet flats and can't say how much I love them and miss them! They do run wide and a bit big but once I added heel grips and a small lift, they fit perfectly. I was so sad when they discontinued these. I have had to settle for other manufacturers substandard flats and have had to treat my J Crew ones like gold so they will last longer. They don't have much padding but then I've found no other brand does either. They feel good and look great on. They are truly classic as the name implies. Only complaint is the leather sole-it can be a bit slippery at times. Otherwise, these are a terrific shoe! Please J Crew, if you are listening, bring these back ASAP!

Acanthosis nigricans is a brown to black, poorly defined, velvety hyperpigmentation of the skin. It is usually found in body folds,[1] such as the posterior and lateral folds of the neck, the armpits, groin, navel, forehead, and other areas.
Acanthosis nigricans is conventionally divided into benign and malignant forms.,[2][3] although may be divided into syndromes according to cause.:[4]:506
- Benign This may include obesity-related, hereditary, and endocrine forms of acanthosis nigricans.[2]
- Malignant. This may include forms that are associated with tumour products and insulin-like activity, or tumour necrosis factor.[2]
An alternate classification system still used to describe acanthosis nigricans was proposed in 1994. This classification system delineates acanthosis nigricans syndromes according to their associated syndromes, including benign and malignant forms, forms associated with obesity and drugs, acral acanthosis nigricans, unilateral acanthosis nigricans, and mixed and syndromic forms.[5][6]
Signs and symptoms[edit]
Acanthosis nigricans may present with thickened, relatively darker areas of skin on the neck, armpit and in skin folds.[2]
It typically occurs in individuals younger than age 40, may be genetically inherited, and is associated with obesity or endocrinopathies, such as hypothyroidism, acromegaly, polycystic ovary disease, insulin-resistant diabetes, or Cushing's disease.
Endocrine syndromes associated with acanthosis nigricans can develop in many conditions, particularly:[2]:978 [7]:86
- starts with insulin resistance, such as diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome
- excess circulating androgens, particularly Cushing's disease, acromegaly, polycystic ovarian disease
- Addison's disease and hypothyroidism
- Rare diseases, including pinealoma, leprechaunism, lipotrophic diabetes, pineal hyperplasia syndrome, pituitary basophilism, ovarian hyperthecosis, stromal luteoma, ovarian dermoid cysts, Prader-Willi syndrome, and Alstrom syndrome.
Acanthosis nigricans associated with endocrine dysfunction is more insidious in its onset, is less widespread, and the patients are often concurrently obese.[8]:676 This is also known as "Acanthosis nigricans type III",[4]:506–7 and insulin resistance syndromes may be divided into Type A (HAIR-AN) and type B syndromes.[2]:978
Insulin resistance and acanthosis nigricans[edit]
In young persons, AN is a visible marker which strongly suggests insulin resistance. Higher than normal insulin levels in the blood stream causes the growth of darkened skin over certain areas of the body. There is no skin treatment that will get rid of AN. Acanthosis Nigricans may lighten up and possibly go away by treating the root cause, Insulin Resistance but it can take months or years to do so.[9]
The majority of cases of acanthosis nigricans are associated with obesity and otherwise idiopathic. This is likely because of insulin resistance, and more likely to occur in darker-skinned persons.[2]:968 This is also known as "Pseudo-Acanthosis Nigricans", or "Type 3 Acanthosis Nigricans".[7]:86
Acanthosis nigricans has been linked to the use of nicotinic acid,[2] glucocorticoid use, COCP, growth hormone therapy, and stilbesterol.<.[7] This is also known as Type 4 Acanthosis nigricans.[7]:86
Familial acanthosis may arise as a result of an autosomal dominant trait, presenting at birth or developing during childhood.[4]:506[8]:676 This is also known as Acanthosis nigricans type 1.[7]:86
Acral Acanthotic Anomaly[edit]
Acral Acanthotic Anomaly refers to a variant of acanthosis nigricans limited to the elbows, knees, knuckles and dorsal surfaces of the feet, in the absence of any other findings, in otherwise healthy individuals.[10][11][12][13] While the etiology remains unknown,[13] its presence does not suggest a likelihood of malignancy.[13]
Malignant acanthosis nigricans refers to acanthosis nigricans occurring as a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with a cancer. Malignant acanthosis nigricans is most-commonly associated with gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas, as well as genitourinary cancers such as those of the prostate, breast, and ovary. Other cancers, such as those of the lung, stomach, and lymphoma, are occasionally associated with acanthosis nigricans.[7]:86[14]
This form of acanthosis nigricans is more likely to involve mucous membranes (25-50% of cases)[3][15] This variant is also known as Acanthosis nigricans type I[8]:676 or 5.[7]:86 Malignant acanthosis nigricans that may either precede (18%), accompany (60%), or follow (22%) the onset of an internal cancer.[4]:506 Malignancy-associated acanthosis nigricans is usually rapid in onset and may be accompanied by skin tags, multiple seborrheic keratoses, or tripe palms.[8]:676
The pathogenesis of acanthosis nigricans is poorly understood, and likely to relate to an interplay of factors,[16] including insulin-mediated activation of ILGF receptors on keratinocytes, and increased growth factor levels.[16]
Factors involved in the development of acanthosis nigricans include:
- Increased circulating insulin. This activates keratinocyte ILGF receptors, particularly IGF-1. At high concentrations, insulin may also displace IGF-1 from IGFBP. Increased circulating IGF may lead to keratinocyte and dermal fibroblast proliferation.[16]
- Fibroblast growth factor. Hereditary variants are associated with FGFR defects.[16]
- Increased TGF, which appears to be the mechanism for malignancy-associated acanthosis nigricans. TGF acts on epidermal tissue via the EGFR.[7]:86
In conjunction with increased end levels of ILGF, it is likely that perspiration and friction may be necessary predeterminants for lesions.[16]
Acanthosis nigricans is typically diagnosed clinically.[2] A skin biopsy may be needed in unusual cases. If no clear cause of acanthosis nigricans is obvious, it may be necessary to search for one. Blood tests, an endoscopy, or x-rays may be required to eliminate the possibility of diabetes or cancer as the cause.[7]:87
On biopsy, hyperkaratosis, epidermal folding, leukocyte infltration, and melanocyte proliferation may be seen.[2]:979[7]:87
Differential Diagnosis[edit]
Acanthosis nigricans should be distinguished from the Casal collar appearing in pellegra.[citation needed]
Acanthosis nigricans is likely to improve in circumstances where a known cause is removed. For example, obesity-related acanthosis nigricans will improve with weight loss, and drug-induced acanthosis nigricans is likely to resolve when the drug is ceased. Hereditary variants may or may not fade with age, and malignancy-associated variants may, after a malignancy is removed, fade.[7] :87
People with acanthosis nigricans should be screened for diabetes and, although rare, cancer. Controlling blood glucose levels through exercise and diet often improves symptoms. Topical fade creams (normally used for eliminating age spots) can lighten skin cosmetically in less severe cases. Acanthosis nigricans maligna may resolve if the causative tumor is successfully removed.[17]

The day after for Ray Allen
Posted By Kirk Minihane On June 9, 2010 @ 2:57 pm In General | 2 Comments
Following his 0-for-13 shooting nightmare in Game 3, Ray Allen [1] spoke to reporters for about 20 minutes before the Celtics [2]' practice on Wednesday. He quickly dismissed a radio report that suggested he was at the team's practice facility shooting jumpers at 7:30 on Wednesday morning, telling the assorted media that he was asleep until 10 AM.
When he was asked about the biggest difference between Game 2 (NBA finals [3] record eight 3-pointers) and Game 3, Allen didn't hesitate.
"My thigh," said Allen, who took a first-quarter shot from Ron Artest [4]. "I took a knee to the thigh."
But Allen was also quick to give credit to a Lakers defense that has held the Celtics to 41 percent shooting in the first three games of this series.
"They gathered out to my shot very quickly, adjusted well. You know, a couple of shots early I missed, and I think after that they got it back out to my shots very quickly. Maybe four or five shots they got their hand on. They had an outstretched arm in front of my ball all night."
Allen "watched the tape" of Game 3, but he isn't going to dwell on it or even use it as motivation for the rest of the finals. He seems comfortable chalking it up to A) the thigh, B) the Lakers' defense and C) one of those nights that happen in the life of a shooter.
"I don't question it [Game 3] I just move forward," Allen said. "Just focus on getting a good rest today and moving forward."
The referees have played a leading role in this series, and were once again on center stage in Game 3.
"You know, we didn't have a great whistle," admitted Allen. "Not a lot of calls yesterday went in our favor. But again, we have got to make our breaks. We had great opportunities last night, I think offensively down the stretch we just didn't do what was necessary."
When asked if his Game 3 goose egg would lead to any changes in preparation for Game 4, Allen responded with a "nope" before the question was even finished.
As for the thigh, Allen said on Tuesday night that he thought it would probably be sore the following day. He was asked Wednesday if that was indeed the case.
"It's sore," Allen said. "It's difficult walking up and down the stairs."

Central and transitional memory T-cells remember previously encountered foreign invaders, such as viruses or bacteria. These cells can survive in the body for the individual's lifetime and reactivate when they re-encounter the same antigen. On reactivation they produce a faster and stronger immune response than the previous encounter. SB-728-T seems to both expand the total memory pool and, by CCR5 modification, protect a proportion of that pool from HIV entry, suggesting that SB-728-T treatment has the potential to durably reconstitute and protect an effective immune system in HIV-infected individuals.
"We are amassing a body of data suggesting that SB-728-T treatment can potentially enable attacks on HIV infection from several angles," said Geoff Nichol, M.B., Ch.B., Sangamo's executive vice president of research and development. "Our aim is to provide a protected reservoir of immune memory cells to replenish the cells killed by HIV and to generate an effective immune response against the virus and opportunistic infections.

Killarny...yes a good 3 stage charger is necessary for your AGM's...you don't say the SIZE in amp hours of your banks but since you will be plugged in full time to the dock it is of little importance on a daily basis what size charger you use. Where charger size WILL be of importance is when you are on the hook and out cruising around and depleting those battery banks and need to re-charge at a dock or with a generator. I will guess that you have 400AH of capcity...which means you will have 200 AH's to recharge when off cruising. This will take 5 hours to replenish to about 90% with a 40 amp charger so an overnight stay at a marina will get you fully topped off. You can substitute your actual numbers for my assumption to see if it makes sense for you.
Living at the dock with the DC stuff in heavy use...you're still gonna be using less than 20amps DC so even a small charger will suffice to keep you topped up full time as long as you remain plugged in.

Stealth: Not-So-Secret Secrets
The US had been working on radar-evading and heat-signature-suppressing technologies since the late 1950s. There is nothing either very secret or surprising about this. All military forces try to hide their forces and are willing to spend a lot of money and effort on various forms of camouflage and concealment.
Stealth technology as we know it came into being in the 1970s, thanks in part to work by a Russian mathematician, but mostly thanks to advances in US computer technology. Lockheed was able to build a technology demonstration aircraft for the air force called the "Have Blue," which showed that an aircraft with the new radar-evading technology could penetrate Soviet-style 1970s integrated air defense systems.
"Have Blue" was followed in the early 1980s by the secret F-117 Stealth "Fighter," which was never actually a fighter but, as it was roughly the size of a fighter, the Air Force choose to call it a fighter, even though it would have been more accurate to call it a light reconnaissance bomber.
Although the F-117 was first used during the overthrow of the Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega in 1989, it proved itself during the 1991 Gulf War. The Iraq air defense system, which at the time was the best that Saddam's oil wealth could buy, was unable to shoot down a single F-117, even though they flew dozens of missions over the most heavily defended parts of Iraq, especially over Baghdad. The F-117s were able repeatedly to hit Iraqi headquarters and other critical targets such as bridges and industrial facilities. It was this that crippled Saddam's ability to continue the war.
At the same time in the early 1990s, the Air Force was introducing its new strategic bomber, the B-2. This was, and is, an extraordinary aircraft that combines stealth with a long range. The B-2 can fly more than 5000 miles on a single fuel load, as well as anywhere in the world with air-to-air refueling, even with a heavy payload. This bomber was first used against targets in Afghanistan in the fall of 2001.
Since its existence was revealed during the 1980 Presidential campaign, "stealth" has become surrounded by an aura of mystery and invincibility that tends to obscure its value in being able to defeat the most advanced air defense systems. Although talk about invisible and invulnerable airplanes was hogwash, normally skeptical journalists and media commentators bought into the myth, and sometimes used it to propagate a dangerously sterile vision of modern war, especially the idea that wars can be fought with no friendly casualties and almost no casualties on the enemies' side.
In 1999, during the Kosovo operation, an F-117 was shot down over Serbia by an old Soviet SA-3 surface-to-air missile. This seems to have been done by a Serb missile battalion commander who, using basic intelligence methods, analyzed US air operations. Specifically, Serbian intelligence had informers with cell phones around US bases; the informers would phone in the departure times of US aircraft. Using this data the Serbs were able to make educated guesses when and where US aircraft would appear in the skies over their missile launchers.
The pilot ejected and was rescued, but the wreckage of the plane was recovered by the Serbs; it is believed they gave the debris to Russia as a "thank you" for Moscow's political support.
Whatever the next military technological breakthrough is, if it keeps American troops alive and victorious in war and globally respected in peacetime, it will be worth every penny.

T-50 not T-80. The latter is a Russian main battle tank. It doesn't fly.
"It has already cost US taxpayers more than $400 billion. " The 390 billion includes 2400 planes so are you saying that taxpayers have already paid LM in advance for undelivered planes?

A personal statement from John Mann
John Mann and Forward Magazine
John Mann An unexpected journey through colorectal cancer delivered some equally unexpected gifts for the actor, singer and songwriter On stage, he is lithe, muscular and full of life. But John Mann, the accomplished actor and lead singer/songwriter of the Canadian folk rock band Spirit of the West, quickly softens as he talks about being diagnosed with colon cancer five years ago. As John tells it from the quiet confines of his eclectic character home in East Vancouver, he was rehearsing for Les Misérables at Vancouver's Arts Club Theatre in the spring of 2009 when he suddenly started experiencing painful abdominal cramping. Most colorectal cancer (94 per cent of new cases) is diagnosed in people over age 50, and John, then 47, was just on the edge of that milestone. And, while diet and lifestyle are among the most significant risk factors for colorectal cancer, John had lived a healthy, clean, fit life. Still, symptoms of abdominal pain prompted his family doctor to send him for a colonoscopy. The diagnosis: an early-stage, slow-growing tumour in his lower intestine. |

335 Tasting Notes
I have not had a lot of genmaicha teas. The first one I tried was from a purchase, from probably one of those generic german blenders. I thought it quite strange at first and downgraded it for gardening tea, tea I have while doing some (lazy gardening) on winter weekend mornings (when it´s not raining or TOO dreary. lazy…). And somehow it really worked for that purpose, the toastiness and the green energy, I have been quite fond of it. I was very curious about what a better version of genmaicha would be like, and Ysaurella was kind enough to send me some.
And this is probably going on my shopping list. It really is a different, much more refined, hints of floral genmaicha than the one I had before. Really lovely, I am converted. Though I am also wondering about Lupicia´s genmaicha teas….
A sample from a swap, which has been languishing for a while – it´s winter, and I am craving tea and new teas but trying to watch caffeine intake which is annoying.
This was a perfectly nice earl grey, just the right level of bergamot for me. I can not particularly noticed the vanilla, but I was absentmindedly enjoying it.
A sample from Ysaurella, and a great idea for a rooibos team.
The dry tea smells just heavenly, like coconut yes and cookies and maybe a bit of vanilla. The rooibos itself was a bit smaller than I expected, but it turned out to be a very smooth rooibos base. Good for those who do not love plain rooibos. And full of beautiful whole coconut shavings.
The brewed tea, makes for a very pleasant cup. I don´t know how long ago the tea was blended is, but coconut oxidizes and I think I got a hint of that in the background here – not going to rate this because of it. In all a very good idea for a blended tea, a beautiful balance of flavours.
I love Lapsang Souchong teas. Theodor is probably the tea company I find more interesting currently. When Ysaurella offered to share her Theodor Lapsang Souchong with me, I jumped at it, and was the very first tea of the very tempting package I tried.
Much as I love LS, I wish I was more educated about the differences regarding those, to understand better the (very obvious) difference s. My inevitable comparison of this Lapsang Souchong was with my current favorite, Mariage Freres´s Lapsang Souchong Imperial and the dry leaf of both smells unmistakably different. Like totally different tree smokes – the MF is sharper, maybe more piney. This reminds me of something else, something almost eucalyptus like or oak (not the same at all, but I truly can not describe better), a smell almost umami-rich. It was so different from what I expected I was sure at first sniff I was not going to like it! But no fear, that old magic of lapsang souchong tea, the ability to taste so very different was at work – this is just wonderful, extremely smooth. And now the first shock of not recognizing the smoke smell, I love the smell at least as much as the other Lapsangs in my collection.
A very lovely tea and perfect for a rainy afternoon…
I was interested in rooibos earl grey last year, at the Thé-o-dor shop, while smelling all of their sublime rooibos blends. With limited luggage space, I ended up restocking a few other favorite blends, thinking this simpler idea might be easier to find, and test, from other blenders. And did find this one. It was a bit cheaper, a reasonable around 5 euros per 100 grams. And that kind of shows – the rooibos is not as smooth as from some other brands, the bergamot is a bit too-much. It still makes for a very nice cup of tea, if I am careful to not brew it too hot (bergamot goes bitter) nor too weak. It´s just perfect for a late afternoon cup of tea, when I am already weary of too much caffeine but want something more tea-like than a mere tisane.
Flavors: Bergamot
This is the last, the little bits at the bottom of the tin – am clearing a lot of teas, I have a totally unprecedented number of available tins. Weirdly with no compunction to have a large mega order yet, almost as if I am not really sure what teas I would really love to have. I have been trying so many flavoured things, I might have tired from the concept a bit, at least in general. So for now, am just happy to be drinking what i got at home.
This is one which is no chore to finish and might be a rebuy though I need to see how much I will miss it now I have finished it . There is something so perfectly civilized, so elegant and smooth about it, the smoke I love so much, the bergamot just a hint.
I also have a bunch of used tins, which have been languishing in boxes/bags for quite some time. A few weeks ago I washed all of them in soapy water, then rinsed them repeatedly, then soaked them in vinegar water, then rinsed repeatedly, then soaked them in Baking Soda water, then rinsed, then left them to dry. They are still empty, although I'm pretty sure they are completely dry by now :)
One of these days I'll make cute labels for them & refill them with teas that I love…
Terri, I do that, any tin, I wrap in italian paper for reuse. I don´t wash the tins though, because of rust, but I steam them, put them upside down for an hour or so over a vessel of boiling (cooling) water and wipe it down and then store them open for a while – all smells really disappear, though I am kind of wary of smoked teas
thanks to you and the sample you sent me I have now bought a 100g of Tzar Alexandre- this is a very lovely and smart tea.
Winter is coming! Or at least autumn is, you should have seen what it rained this morning. Summer is on the way out and I was finally in the mood to make some tea. This is a new purchase, from this very summer, and my first, fast tasting of it
First, this smells like the french-est tea ever blended. French teas, do you have a mental idea of what that style is? This is precisely it, like the most paradigmatic french tea ever. (well, and there is Vert de Provence as well. Maybe a few others, Thé au Tibet also comes to mind as the most french imaginable Earl Grey tea, but no other tea I ever had, and I have been having a lot of french teas, is more French tea than this). Really sublime perfume, far too complicated to categorize – fruity, flowery, with tea underneath. And it was one of the few The-o-dor teas I could buy locally and hello, welcome Acte II.
But at my first try I suspect lotus is an ingredient even if they do not explicitly mention it. And lotus in tea is for me like tuberose in perfumes – it ruins things. I did not quite love it as much as I loved the smell, but I must experiment some more.
It is still a wonderful, balanced, quality tea by the way.
I have been desperately craving another Theodor the, their Peché Mignon, their melon and peach green tea. This is their green mate with melon and peach and well it was on stock – and it´s just as amazing!
I made it iced, cold brewed and then strained for maybe half a hour (with mate and tea, I find it gets bitter if I leave it much longer than say one hour even when cold brewed. Even hibiscus I do not like to leave overlong. Only rooibos I leave overnight). It really tastes a lot like Peché Mignon, even their own page makes a reference to it, but with a mate base. I suppose this description won´t be much help to anybody who never had the fortune to try Peché Mignon but it means it tastes naturally and strongly like melon and peach, in balance somehow. Pecadito reportedly has some passion fruit as well, which I think i detect on the aftertaste and makes it non-cloying somehow.
Love it, this package will probably not survive the summer here.
Flavors: Melon, Peach
That's a good tip, steeping it for only 30 minutes. I've tried leaving a mate overnight before and it was very bitter.
Ysaurella, the green mates are smoother than the red – the real sold in 1 kg packages of southern brazillian/argentinian mates are a bit scary, but these flavoured Theodor ones are so much smoother and softer. i think you might like them – I got to send you some of this one! They do give an energy kick which is difficult to explain, smoother than coffee, less jittery.
OMGsrsly, I have tried cold brewing mate and had to throw it away, which was a waste. really really bitter.
A little while ago Anna sent me a sample of Lupicia´s Jardin Sauvage – a Jekyll and Hyde tea for me. I loathed it when brewed hot and absolutely loved it when I cold steeped it overnight. It did wake me to the possibilities of cold brewed flavoured green rooibos, which is such an awesome concept for me in the summertime.
I was reminded of that Lupicia tea when I chanced upon this green rooibos with peach. Blender is another of those kind of generic german (austrian in this case, i believe) blenders – you know, not expensive teas, lots of flavoured teas, a certain propensity for adding sunflower petals, dried carrot or pineapple or grapefruit rind to unlikely teas. This one just has the sunflower petals and it´s pretty much what you would expect – not as awesome, or subtle or full ot interesting secondary flavours as the Lupicia. But it is nice, and it is much much cheaper than the Lupicia, a definite plus particularly for a iced tea. Flavour is mostly artificial, but not too cloying and it´s kind of one of those correct does-what-it-says-on-the-label teas. No surprises or hidden depths, but it does make very nice, and very lazy, iced tea – put some tea in a bottle, pour water and put in dridge, strain whenever you want it, sweeten if you want. I suspect the 100 grams I got will not make it to autumn.
How I misjudged this… I got it on the recommendation of the saleslady, and it was not the rooibos i was looking for. First couple times I tried it hot, I disliked it – I am coming to realize I dislike the flavour of mint brewed in boiling water. But after i discovered the cold brewing process, oh it was love. This just might be of my favorite iced teas ever – the rooibos, the mint, the rose.
Finished but a rebuy for sure.

Hiring Levels in 2008
Construction companies expect one of the larger drops, with 23% of employers saying they expect to curtail hiring, compared with 16% in the same quarter last year. Seventeen percent of employers in this sector say they expect to increase hiring, down slightly from 18% last year.
Wholesale and retail saw a slight drop, with 21% of companies saying they planned to increase hiring, down from 23% last year. Eighteen percent plan a decrease, up from 17% last year.
In the finances and real estate sector, plans to increase hiring remained steady at 21%. But the number of companies in the sector that planned to hire less than last year grew to 9% from 7%.
Hiring levels are also projected to vary regionally.
Nineteen percent of companies in the Midwest reported they would increase hiring in the first quarter, down from 26% during the previous one. Thirteen percent of companies were planning a decline, up from 9% last quarter.
The West continues to have the best outlook, with 29% of employers saying they planned to increase hiring, down from 33% last quarter. Eleven percent of employers said they planned to decrease hiring, up from 10% last quarter.
The South dipped slightly, with 23% of employers expecting to increase hiring next quarter, down from 26% last quarter. Eleven percent expected to decrease hiring, up from 8% last quarter.
The Northeast also saw a dip, with 21% of companies saying they planned to increase staff, down from 25% last quarter. Thirteen percent of employers in that region said they planned a decrease, up from 10% last quarter.
The survey doesn't ask why employers choose to increase, decrease or maintain their staffing levels. The mortgage crisis or possibility of a recession could be reasons, but the survey can't say for sure.
3 Responses to Hiring Levels in 2008
These statistics are helpful, particularly how the numbers vary regionally and seem at this point only to indicate a slight, not a severe decline.
What do these numbers mean for someone who is interested in beginning an MBA program in 2008?
Will companies decrease the number of summer interns they hire in 2009?
What has happened in the past during times of recession for business school students?
I think numbers mean: Its OK. You'll find a job.

Well I bit the bullet and took home a 2010 Cannondale Caad8 6 compact crank.
I love the ride and i feel comfortable with the set up/frame.
As you can see, the frame geometry is for comfortable stance. I might try to turn the stem for a more aggressive stance. I also plan to add aerobars. I hope to take it for a long ride tomorrow weather permitting.

you said it, updating outfits w/assos stuff could cost you. crashes that does no damage to the bike frequently tear your clothes up. the best way to get some is to go to the races in the hood. when a crash occurs, the locals usually runs off with the bikes. you have to run off with the cycling outfits.

So does anybody else use a forkmount for their Carbon forks? it already chipped a bit of the inner paint and im a bit weary tightening the fork mount
I always use fork mounts. The fork dropout is made to handle clamping. You put just as much pressure on it when you put your wheel one. It's kind of stupid that they paint the clamping area because it come right off anyways. Also, make sure to shave off the lawyer tabs to make it easier to take the front wheel off.

I have a set of the Speedplay pedals also, but my shoes are the SH-RT80, which are the 2-hole variant. I like that you CAN walk around without hobbling, so I use the SPD-cleats... even though they're not as big and manly as the Speedplay cleat system.
Love the shoes though. -Love them so much I bought a second pair!
I just realized my existing shoes may not be true to road biking... Can this pass for a road bike shoes? or would i look ridiculous using these on my road bike?
This is what i was using for my converted mtb/hybrid
Don't know; I'd listen to the others, but how much forward adjustment range do you have on those cleat positions? -I wear mine further forward closer to the ball of the foot, away from the arch, though I don't know if you use more of the arch when on a mountain bike... it seems like it would be more 'sure-footed' that way?
But it's not a fashion show to me, if it's comfortable and safe then I'm less bothered. -now if you're wearing full-on yellow jersey/bib/'spensive prints everywhere, then I think people might point at the shoes, but there's no shame in getting the feel of the bike and trying different shoes out where I'm concerned.
Check out issue 3 or 4 of the online rag, IMBike Magazine. www.imbike.com there is a technical section in there and part of it deals with clip placement to maximize energy efficiency! I fiddled with mine according to that info and noticed a pretty dramatic improvement in efficiency and comfort over long rides.
Those are mtb shoes. Road shoes will be flat, no tread, a lot more difficult to walk in, and have a stiffer sole for power transfer. Road shoes can make a big difference in comfort and in power, especially in major hills where flex of the shoe can be really be felt.
Those shoes may fit the pedals but the tread may get in the way.
I doubt that the tread will get in the way, I'm sure they'll engage just fine... My shoes are road shoes, with the inflexible sole etc, but they have the large rubber treads either side of the SPD cleat, which makes walking comfortable and easy. I think that's the whole reason behind the SPD cleat: it's smaller and the shoes can be 'built up' either side, to make them easier to walk in.
Certainly if it's not their whole raison d'etre, it's an enormous benefit!
But as for the flexible sole... yeah, that's probably a drawback.
Oh GAWD!! The disgrace!!
Actually you should just ride whatever works best for you.
I have my road shoes with Speedplay cleats that I use for road and track racing and training in the summer. They are not meant for walking, that is for sure.
Then I have my mountain bike shoes with SPDs that I use for mountain biking and commuting and my winter riding in the rain. But the SPDs work fine for road riding, they just aren't as stable and secure as a road pedal platform. But they do make it easier to walk around in when you get off you bike.
Any of you been watching Paris-Nice?
cool. Is that a real track bike? or a repro?
Hey, Saugus huh.. is Northeast Bikes still in business?
It's a repro, Bianchi has repro'd this and the Campoine for 2010-11. I guess the new trend in bikes is just giving the taiwanese builders the old blueprints and just re-make. Also, by def its not really a true track bike (not to sound like a bike weenie) because its got brake caliper holes in the fork and rear triangle. BUTTTT, it looks purdy and after taking it out on its maiden voyage, gotta say, this thing is a ton of fun!
That Northeast bikes is out, maybe relocated? I picked this up from Belmont Wheelworks. Oddly enough I was just in there to buy a new trainer, but ended up with a bike.
did the originals have flat crown fork? the downtube also seem to run a little high, like it has a long fork.
Anyone else in this forum plan to do the LA River ride. Im only signing up for the 50 mile...
I only know 3 other from Fourtitude doing it
The Mighty LA river?
-You gunna recreate the chase scene from Terminator?

screen disappears when detach the pen or attach the earphone
hi, experts, by default on note ii , when attach the earphone, the phone switches to the "ear phone" screen automatically.
however, how, my note ii does not switch to switches to the corresponding screen automatically when both attaching the earphone and detaching the pen.
how to solve? -
Re: screen disappears when detach the pen or attach the earphone
go into settings -> display and check if Page Buddy is turned on. Page Buddy is where the screen changes based on the pen or ear piece connection. if it's on and still doesnt work, did you root your phone? what was the last app installed?

He is adorable and that was hot.
Please No. I don't find anything redeemable about this, except he mentioned using a rubber. I think its just as bad as str8 women-exploiting-rap, but maybe that's the point. I will take Le1f over the newcomer. Btw the "boy-pussy" phrase is stupid as crap. I would never sleep with a dude who used it.
*shudders* Boy pussy?
Gah, I hate that expression. It's not a fucking pussy. It's a mans ass hole.
@Scribe38: Thank you! You summed up my thoughts exactly.
That is horrible. As a culture do we have to accept everything with a gay theme? At some point we have to stand up and say "no", your gay movie, web series, tv show, book, article music and poem suck. Just because it's gay doesn't mean it's good.
You guys need to loosen up and take that stick out of your ass. It's just a party song! I like it, so there.
As much as I hate the phrase "boi pussy" I am loving the vulgarity of this song from a gay rapper. its just the nobelty of it that i say kudos to you because there are so many other hetero black rappers who have the women twerking and bouncing their asses in videos, so i appreciate this guy being out there with it. I'm sure there will be a faction out there who can't stand it, but the "homothug" set will get their life to this song. Almost makes me want to go to a NY or DC or Atlanta black or Latino gay club just to see the crowd get it in to this song. Yeah Cazwell has his "pop" rap, but this is the song that the fellas in the black gay clubs are going to get their life too. I like all music except country and this brand of vulgar rap, but I give props to this guy for just being so in your face with it.
"Novelty" correction from my previous comment. Queerty, you need a damn edit option. This is 2014 and we r not in the early days of the Internet. I need y'all to get it together.
@a new member: This comment is offensive in what manner? The subject of the article is offensive. Or were you planning on playing his music to your nephews at Thanksgiving?
So for those that eschew the term "Boy Pussy," what about "Mangina?" LOL
Or he could stop htronorm-ing it and call it what it really is.
Some of you sound like you could really use some boy pussy
My ears, my eyes… YUCK. At least most "mainstream" rap has some kind of musical hook… this was just HORRIBLE, except for the "put on a rubber part". Is this supposed to advance "our cause", I'm gayer than Gay Gayerson and this made me scream for the exit !!!
You should be promoting that British guy instead, from X factor, Christopher Maloney (HE needs OUR help, he's surrounded by DRAMA and a bit cray-cray), at least it's not as embarrassing.
Rupaul's "rejects" would probably come up with a better, more entertaining product than THAT !!!
Didn't rap die after Cypress Hill / Beastie Boys? (maybe IT should have)…
I must admit it gets kind of catchy after a while. This video was definitely strong in vulgarity and I'm certainly no prude, its probably the sight of guys twerking better than Miley Cyrus.
Fortunately, there is diversity within the gay community. Some people don't want to listen to rap and some of don't want to listen to some "all American" boy strumming his guitar singing some country song to his boyfriend. To each his own.
It's a shame I can't post this on my Facebook or google+, I have to stay classy for the time being.
This is sexy!!!! Luv it!
For all the "boy pussy" haters, the term is no more stupid than the terms "twink, bear, DILF, top, bottom ass hole" or even calling someone hot.
This is wonderful for those to whom it appeals. Insanely hot, is in the eye of the beholder.
And let's be honest, the guy looks an awful lot like ItsKingsleyBitch which undermines any of its credibility
Maybe I need glasses because Fly Young Red looks NOTHING like Its Kingsley to me.
I like the idea but not the misogyny. But he's on the right track! For now I'll still take Le1f.
He demonstrates lyrical creativity, and everything makes sense so congratulations.
"Boy Pussy" is a term that makes me cringe.
I think it's hard for us to fully accept and respect this is because not only are we used to the objectification of women in videos, but we aren't used to "gay promoting lyrical" content (there are very few songs). With such little representation in the music/music-video industry we want whatever little image of us that is portrayed to be positive and not booty-shaking, butt-twerking men in women's clothing.
Equally ridiculous to "hetero" rap.He is kinda cute though.
It's not something I would play or purchase (because it lacks quality),but I didn't NOT like it.lol He is so cute and kudos for him.He could have my ass anytime he wants though.
@Kangol: What misogyny are you talking about? In his lyrics? I don't know the rest of the lyrics but surely objectifying men instead of women isn't equivalent to misogyny. And using the word 'bitch' in this context isn't either.
I'd rather throw some hamburgers than boy pussy to those background dancers, as it wouldn't hurt to have more 'junk in da trunk'.
This is probably the worst instrumentation I have EVER heard on a rap song — and that is saying a lot: a clapping drum machine, a piano (??!), and an air horn?!!

And while Anderson claimed she was paid simply for a dinner appearance with Sheen and his entourage -- including his ex-wife, Denise Richards -- Galanter countered that "she was hired to be the entertainment for the evening."
Both sides agreed Anderson was never paid to have sex with Sheen.
Anderson threatened her own civil suit on Monday, but it has yet to be filed.
"I never expected the night would unfold the way it did," she told "Good Morning America" Monday.
"He definitely was growing more intense as the night grew and went on. It's hard to say being that it was my first time hanging out with him if it was normal of his everyday behavior or not," Anderson said. "He seemed like a very egotistical person."
Anderson said she spent most of the dinner on Oct. 25 speaking with Richards. After Richards left the dinner and the rest of the group -- Anderson and Sheen included -- went out for drinks, Anderson said she was asked by a friend of Sheen's' to escort him to his hotel room and make sure he stayed there.
"At this point he was fairly intoxicated," she said.
"I was sitting on the edge of a coffee table and he was serving us both drinks and he was snorting something," Anderson said, adding that she doesn't know what he was using, but that it was a "white powdery substance."
"There was a little bit of romance, if you will," she said. "In the moment a lot happened."
But with her dress removed, Anderson, who admitted she was in the room willingly, said things took a turn for the worse.
"When I became really uncomfortable is when he put his hands around my neck," she said.
Anderson said Sheen became incensed when she begged for him to release her.
"He started throwing things. He threw a lamp. That was the first thing he picked up," Anderson said, her voice cracking. "And he threw it across the room at me."
"When he started throwing things at me I became shocked, scared," Anderson said.
Galanter initially responded to Anderson's allegations Sunday night in a statement to ABC News.
"Ms. Capri never made any allegation of wrongful conduct on the part of Mr. Sheen the night of the incident. She has posted on her website that she was 'fine' after the incident but if you wanted to see more of her enter the web site for money," Galanter said. "We will defend this lawsuit vigorously and will never pay her a dime. These allegations against Mr. Sheen are completely false, and are a blatant attempt to cash in on his celebrity."
Anderson told "Nightline" that she feared for her life.
"He was, from the beginning of the night, very loud and he had no hesitations when it came to using derogatory language or cuss words," she said, adding that "towards the latter half of the night, it got really bad. He started yelling racial slurs."
"He threw the lamp against the wall in my direction … And once the lamp flew, it was like there was just stuff coming from every angle. He was just -- anything he could pick up, he was trashing the place," she said.
Photos obtained by TMZ show a rumpled bed and strewn chairs. One of the chair legs appears to be broken.
When police officers arrived at the famed luxury hotel, they found Anderson locked in the bathroom of Sheen's suite. Police said the room had been trashed. Sheen was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.
"He was calling me a whore a lot. And he was yelling things like, you F-ing bitch. If you don't come out here, I'm going to kill you. If I get in there, you're going to be sorry. If I get in there, you ... whore, you whore, whore. Like he just keep screaming and slamming on the door," she said.
Anderson also tells "Nightline" that she did not know Sheen's children were on the same floor in the hotel.
Anderson told "Good Morning America" she was never paid the $3,500 she was promised for attending the dinner with Sheen.

One solution is a virtual private network (VPN): a collection of technologies that creates secure connections or "tunnels" over regular Internet lines-connections that can be easily used by anybody logging in from anywhere. Key advantages offered by a VPN include universal connectivity, security, and low cost. Until now, a key disadvantage was the lack of documentation available to network administrators considering implementing a VPN.
O'Reilly's newest release, Virtual Private Networks describes how to plan and build a VPN. It covers general concerns like costs, configuration, and how a VPN fits in with other networking technologies like firewalls, as well as providing detailed descriptions of how to install and use VPN technologies that are available for Windows NT and UNIX, such as PPTP and L2TP, the Altavista Tunnel, and the Cisco PIX Firewall.
Virtual Private Networks author Mike Erwin warns: "Just like in the real world, security is one of life's little things that needs to be addressed and re-addressed, and tested and probed, and re-done; constantly underfoot. Without firewalls, a VPN could exist, with some paranoia, but without encryption it most certainly could not. Cipher routines are what solve the fundamental problem of secure communication over an insecure channel in a hostile environment."
"In many companies in the near future, modem banks and remote access servers may become a thing of the past." says author Charlie Scott. "Many ISPs are offering VPN capabilities as a service, and it's important for network administrators to understand the issues involved." Virtual Private Networks gives network administrators all the information they need to decide whether to implement a VPN and step-by-step instructions on how to do it.
Paul Wolfe has done everything from drive M1A1 tanks in Desert Storm to sling computer chips for Motorola. He has written four books in the last two years covering such topics as Windows NT web servers, Internet commerce, VRML, and Virtual Private Networks.
Mike Erwin is the president and chief executive officer of OuterNet Connection Strategies, Inc. Mike is the co-author of several other works, including the CGI Bible, Building Web Commerce Sites, and the 60 Minute Guide to VRML. Mike's technology related interests involve encryption algorithms, super computing, Distributed Operating Systems, universe game simulations, and building secondary securities markets on the Net.

Air Force makes $1M selling scrap metal
Thursday - 10/6/2011, 5:41pm EDT
The Air Force has made $1 million dollars by selling 15 tons of scrap metal, Federal Times reports.
The scrap metal has been saved up for more than 15 years at Thule Air Base, Greenland. President Obama gave an order for agencies to recycle at least half of their non hazardous waste by 2015. Agencies can keep their earnings from their recycling efforts.

H1N1 inspires palm-vein biometrics
Palm-vein biometrics uses near-infrared light to capture palm-vein patterns in a person's hand, which serves as their identity to the systems. A user would hold his hand over a small scanning device attached to his computer that reads the pattern and matches it to a database of preregistered users. Unlike fingerprint scanning, palm vein is contactless, meaning the user doesn't touch any devices and risk leaving behind a "footprint" fingerprint that could be accessed or stolen.

Celebrity Millennium Cruise Review by Bodo H: You may call it what you want - Millenium is my ship !

You may call it what you want - Millenium is my ship !
As an organizer of Cruise-trips for middle-size groups, we were very happy to on That ship that often !
Stayed in different Hotels in San Juan, which are most the same: Clean and good for that one night.. no more comments ! They know: tomorrow someone else is waiting for a ship, and needs a sleep over.
Embarkation can be a "very sunny action", while waiting outside. (The most royal Carib. ports have a better - longer Roof, so you are in the shadow,while waiting.
After youre through with that, a glass of champagne (or two..) is waiting at the ship. If you are not that early - youre cabin is ready to use. Very early birds on embarkation sometimes have to wait for the cabin.. ! Tip : Check you're dinner seating time and location, as soon as you get to know them. Now is the time to make changes if necessary.
The millenium is a ship, where the overlook is done pretty fast.
The cabins are really OK! If you like it bigger : take the aft ones, on the very tail. It's 2 More
rooms with one big balcony. You see them from Deck 10.
Deck 10 has been the magic formula for our guests! It means : a little music when leaving the port - a nice Bar, and that wonderful air breeze feeling. The staff is always there.. even when you dont need them..but everyone has been very friendly! After a time we became real friends,and were happy to meet them at next cruise again. The food in the self-serving restaurant has a wide variety (but more is on Royal Caribbean) The Main Restaurant again has a better service and Food , as RC does ! Depends on what is really important to you.
The shows on board are excellent, but a little old fashion. Entertainment for younger people is not that much. Sometimes some games at the pool ( if you like it..) but always with a little too loud music ! (I'm not always in a party mood while laying in the sun, you know..)There are other decks, that are quiet! If you like it really quiet: go to Deck 4, where the lifeboats are! Be in the shadow of them or in the sun, just as you like it ! But if there's a real Pool Party : Don't miss it ! And don't miss the formal nights. If you like to wear youre Dinner Jacket - do it ( it might not fit anymore one week later..) But a Jacket and a tie will do also! The shoretrips offered by the ship are expensive ! In some ports you can do youre own trips pretty well, by taking a taxi for a half day or join one of the local companies at the pier. You'll see, whats trust able or not, the way they offer their tours.
After 5 trips the ship is on a different itinerary now. But we are glad to offer a "around the world tour" with the Millenium in October 2012, when this ship goes down to Asia for next years. Would we, as a sales group, go on a 67 days world tour with the Millenium, with paying guests, when not sure about the quality ? No ! Never ever ! But we do ! And I think, that should show up,how we like the Millenium and its staff ! Less

Cabin review: 2A
Problems with Sea sick ? Order an outside cabin , down on deck 2 ore 3, mid ship Smoker ? Only on the ledt side of the Pool, and the Pool Bars, and on left side on Deck 10 bar ! Not (allowed) on Cabin Balconys ! And if you refuse that rule.. close youre balcony door probably ! Otherwise, the AC will suck it in the cabin.. the gangway in front of youre cabin..to youre Stewart ! That means :Trouble ! So close that damned door ;-) Better : check out for the last Balcony Cabin on any Deck..no neighbors to the wind pulling side. The same the other way around, if you dont like to smell some smoke: check out the front cabins.

How to Learn & Memorize Medical Terminology... Using a Memory Palace Specifically Designed for Achieving Medical Fluency
If you'd like to improve your ability to learn and memorize medical terminology by as much as 100%, 200%, even 300% (or more) using simple memory techniques that you can learn in 15-20 minutes (or less), then this may be the most important book that you will ever listen to.
Believe it or not, it really doesn't matter if you think you have a good memory or not. The information in this book will teach you:
These techniques have been used by real medical students to make real strides in their professional careers as medical experts, most of whom previously considered themselves owners of a "bad memory".
Don't worry! None of these techniques are rocket science. Frankly, if you can memorize a short email address or the name of a movie, then you can use this system to memorize medical terminology.
But there's really no time to lose. Every day that you are not using this simple memorization system, you are literally stealing from yourself the joy of being able to recall an abundance of medical terminology as you easily expand the natural abilities of your mind.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"to repetitive"
the book spends 45 minutes explaining the technique and another 2 hours repeating those 45 minutes. I wish I had bought the other audiobooks that are actually 45 minutes long instead, then I wouldn't have wasted 2 hours + some.

The Economics Department's IT Team (Econ-Systems) provides computer support for over 300 users in the department, including all faculty, students and staff. The team currently consists of three full-time IT Professionals, and graduate lab TAs. Our goal is to provide the economics community with state-of-the-art technical resources and support services. Please let us know how we can better serve you.
Economics Computing at MIT
The Department supplements MIT's computing resources with it's own cutting-edge systems designed to support learning and research. Our graduate computing lab grants students access to powerful Windows-based virtual machines, which run a full suite of econometric and statistical software packages. The lab is open 24 hours a day and is also remotely accessible, allowing students to connect using their personal computers from anywhere in the world. Additionally, we provide multiple Linux-based research computing servers, including a 200+ processor high-performance computing cluster. These systems allow students to work with massive data sets and easily manage long-running jobs. Our computing infrastructure is backed by a robust and secure fiber-optic data storage system which provides user-accessible backups of datasets and documents.
Three full-time professionals, Carl Anderson, Andy Dorner, and Mark Leary, support our extensive IT operation. Graduate students may also look to user consultants for assistance and direction. These consultants, drawn from the ranks of current economics PhD students, train new users and help with data management and programming.
The Department offers a student-taught programming course designed to acquaint both graduate and undergraduate students with popular programming languages. Students often take this class in preparation for empirical projects and work as faculty research assistants. Other important computing resources for MIT economists include MIT's Geographic Information Systems Laboratory, housed at Rotch Library, and the virtual Harvard-MIT Data Center. This Spring we launched an agreement with the Census Bureau's Research Data Center (RDC), located at the nearby National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), allowing all of our students and faculty to access confidential government microdata sources for approved projects at no cost.

Thomas, P A and George, Rani Mary (1987) Gorgonid resources of India. Marine Fisheries Information Service, Technical and Extension Series, 74 . pp. 1-13.
| PDF - Published Version 938Kb |
The quantity of gorgonids exported from India since then showed a downward trend, but the price/kg was on a steady increase. For 1,008 kg exported during 1983-'84 the total revenue realised was Rs. 1.04 lakhs, averaging Rs. 103.65 per kg. For these aesthetic reasons these animals have been collected all over the world, and from India too they have been exported under the head 'curio' for a long period. But the demand for this commodity was not at all specific and the revenue realised under this head was also not very attractive. The total quantity of gorgonids exported from India during 1975-'84 was estimated at 36.4 tonnes valued at Rs. 9.9 lakhs. At present 22 species of gorgonids referable to seven families and 15 genera are exported from India under four trade names or 'types' such as 'Black', 'Red', 'Monkey tail' and 'Flower'. The above commercial classification is based on colour. It is advisable to fix a minimum size for each species at which their exploitation could be commenced. In the event of extending the fishing activity to any of the virgin areas indicated in the section entitled 'Areas where fishing could be intensified', care should be taken to earmark some selected areas as 'gorgonid reserves.

The United Arab Emirates will stop imprisoning expatriates for writing cheques that bounce, Abu Dhabi daily The National reported on Tuesday, citing a senior official.
The UAE's tough penalties for defaulting on loans, which is a criminal offence in the Gulf Arab monarchy, were relaxed for Emirati citizens in October after a royal decree.
"In line with the directives of Sheikh Khalifa... and in the spirit of fairness and equality, the courts have stopped as of last month accepting collateral cheques presented as a criminal tool against expatriate debt defaulters," Ali Khalfan Al Dhaheri, head of the legal affairs department at the Ministry of Presidential Affairs was quoted saying.
In July a British businessman who had been jailed for nearly three years in Dubai for writing bad cheques was released when his conviction was overturned following a seven-week hunger strike.
The UAE has no bankruptcy laws to protect debtors and many have called for the decriminalisation of bounced cheques.
"Federal public prosecutions in the country have, indeed, released expatriate detainees as has been the case of their Emirati counterparts who were freed last October," The National quoted judge Jassem Saif Buossaiba, head of the judicial inspection department at the Justice Ministry, as saying.

It is a sad commentary on the state of the nation that nearly 42,000 state-run schools still function without buildings of their own, while over one lakh schools have only one classroom. Basic amenities continue to be inadequate in most schools. Budgetary allocations for education as a whole, and elementary education specifically, have risen only incrementally over the decades. According to a survey by the National Institute of Education Planning and Administration, only 65.56 per cent of all classrooms are in good condition; the rest are in need of either major or minor repairs. In meeting needs such as drinking water, toilets, blackboards, and furniture, there are major inadequacies. The picture at the crucial entry-level is particularly bleak in the rural areas and the worst affected are the poor. Today there is a 2 per cent education cess on taxpayers: the accruals were Rs. 6,975 crore in 2005-06. Since its introduction, outlays for the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and the mid-day meal scheme have been augmented, according to a statement made in Parliament recently. Yet the overall scene in the 10.4 lakh schools remains as dismal as ever. It was in 1987 that the Government came up with Operation Blackboard, envisaging the provision of at least two classrooms and a verandah for every school. In 1994 it launched the District Primary Education Programme that aimed at providing more classrooms, and in 2001 came the SSA.
It is not too difficult to identify the causes for the lag: investment in school infrastructure has been low over the years, the monitoring has been poor, and there is corruption, though it may not be at as high a level as some critics of public spending would say. In data that appear to have a direct correlation with the level of school facilities, the retention rate at the primary level was only 58.11 per cent as of 2004-05, although in a few States such as Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh the figure is above 80 per cent. School infrastructure creation is a task that cannot wait. Schools need to operate from premises designed and purpose-built to suit children. The risks involved in operating from unsuitable premises have been evident from tragedies of the kind that was witnessed in 2004 at Kumbakonam, where 94 children were burnt to death. If the Government is committed seriously to the goal of universalisation of elementary education, it should turn its attention to the creation of adequate school infrastructure in a mission mode. Norms and guidelines need to be standardised, and a specific monitoring mechanism put in place to ensure compliance. If elementary education is indeed a fundamental right, it is contingent on the state to provide conditions that will enable every child to enjoy that right.
