A prolific interpreter of American standards, singer Ken Greves transports audiences back to the Golden Years of jazz and champagne music with his latest album, The Face Of My Love. The selection for the recording includes hallmark works by some of jazz music's most cherished writers like Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Billy Strayhorn, Johnny Mercer, and Jimmy Van Heusen. Greves' vocals are beautifully poised as he molds his ruminations to the melodic knolls, and strokes the lyrics like they were made of fine porcelain. He brings out the songs classic curves and melodic charms while enhancing their timeless quality as they pass from generation to generation.
Greves displays an instinct for finessing American standards like Strayhorn's "Daydream" and Cole Porter's "Where Have You Been." His versing is poetic, and his suave handling of the tunes is thoughtful as he traverses along the chord progressions with a leisurely stride. His treatment of Manning Sherwin and Eric Maschwitz's "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square" accentuates its romantic-bent, while Greves' refurbishing of "You Stepped Out Of A Dream" bodes a dreamy sonorous. His rendition of Harold Arlen and Leo Robin's "It Was Written In The Stars" has a gristle of heavy bass streaks which turn to a breezy bossa nova style in "I Thought About You." His remodeling of the torchlight flutters in Billy Strayhorn and Elvis Costello's "My Flame Burns Blue" is shrouded in somber tones, which shifts to an upbeat pulse in Rube Bloom and Johnny Mercer's "Day I, Day Out." The shimmering tones of the piano keys in "Someone To Light Up My Life" cradle Greves' vocals in silky threads, which transform into a sprightly jitter in "By Myself" inducing a festive mood into the album.
Ken Greves' treatments have a penchant for classic styles and veer towards sustaining a positive mood even through the melancholic tunage of Billy Strayhorn's "Chelsea Bridge." Hope springs eternal in Ken Greves' delivering of American standards, showing an inclination to influence audiences to adapt to a leisurely stride through life like himself.

The American Civil Liberties Union sued today on behalf of four U.S. servicewomen to challenge a
longstanding policy barring women from thousands of ground combat positions, citing the changing
nature of warfare and fairness for career soldiers.
The civil rights group argued in a legal complaint filed in federal court in Northern
California that a military policy to bar women from combat roles on the basis of gender was
"Nearly a century after women first earned the right of suffrage, the combat exclusion policy
still denies women a core component of full citizenship - serving on equal footing in the military
defense of our nation," reads the suit, on behalf of four women soldiers who have fought in Iraq or
Their career opportunities also had been limited by the policy, the women said.
The Department of Defense has slowly been dropping such restrictions. In February it allowed
some women to serve in combat battalions, a unit of 300 to 1,000 members, and dropped restrictions
on women serving in units that were required to be based with combat units.
But women still are not allowed in infantry, or in smaller units engaged in combat. Women are
barred from more the 238,000 positions, the ACLU said. But in Iraq and Afghanistan, where there are
no clear battle lines, women have been pulled into combat in spite of the policy, the group added.
"(Defense) Secretary (Leon) Panetta remains strongly committed to examining the expansion of
roles for women in the U.S. military, as evidenced by the recent step of opening up thousands of
more assignments to women," spokeswoman Eileen Lainez wrote by email in anticipation of the ACLU
More than 14,000 jobs were open to women because of the February change, she said.
A 2009 study by the Defense Department found that women already served in combat roles in the
two wars, and that female veterans felt the experience opened up career opportunities.

3? July 1869 • Elmira, N.Y.
(Paraphrase: OC to MEC, 7 July 69, CU-MARK, UCCL 11698)
I have been writing at some length to Sam, in answer to one received yesterday, in which he said Mr. Langt don offered $20,000 cash and $10,000 canal stock for our land.1 . . . Sam wrote that he wanted a quiet place to write his next winter's lecture2
Explanatory Notes
I am much pleased with Mr. Langdon's
offer; but as you suggest, he must not buy blindfold, or until he
sends his Memphis agent there to examine. Neither you nor Ma nor
Pamela know anything about the land. ... I have laboriously
investigated the titles, localities and qualities, and I would put
its present value at about five thousand dollars, though Ma and
Pamela would not be willing to take that. . . . The difficulties are
that Tennessee grants the same land over and over again to different
parties if they apply for it, leaving them to fight out among
themselves questions of priority of entry and compliances with the
provisions of the laws, and will then give it with a better title
than all of them to some stranger with seven years possession under
a deed from some person having himself absolutely no shadow or
pretense of title. Orion proposed trying to perfect the family's title by leasing
the land in "160 acre tracts and settling immigrants on them
with seven or eight years' leases. . . . How would it do to
propose to Mr. Langdon an equal copartnership—we to furnish
the land and he the means to colonize?—Provided we make no
other disposition of the land before next April, as, until that time, it
is locked up in the hands of Merriman & Co." And
he closed by reiterating the terms of his agreement with the St. Louis
land agents, which Jervis Langdon had found questionable: "If
Merriman & Co. sell for a dollar an acre, we give them 5 pr
ct. If they sell for over a dollar we give them half of all over,
provided their commission shall not be less than 5 pr ct."
(CU-MARK). Langdon's
response to Orions's "equal
copartnership" proposal is not known. In November 1869,
Clemens declined to involve him in any sort of purchase, although he
agreed to approach him about mining the coal on the land (see 9 Nov 69 to

Fano is a town and comune of the province of Pesaro and Urbino in the Marche region of Italy. It is a beach resort 12 kilometres (7 miles) southeast of Pesaro, located where the Via Flaminia reaches the Adriatic Sea. It is the third city in the region by population after Ancona and Pesaro.
This section requires expansion. (June 2008) |
An ancient town of Marche, it was known as Fanum Fortunae[1] after a temple of Fortuna located there. Its first mention in history only dates from 49 BC, when Julius Caesar held it, along with Pisaurum and Ancona. Caesar Augustus established a colonia, and built a wall, some parts of which remain. In 2 AD Augustus also built an arch (which is still standing) at the entrance to the town.
In January 271, the Roman Army defeated the Alamanni in the Battle of Fano that took place on the banks of the Metauro river just inland of Fano.
Fano was destroyed by Vitiges' Ostrogoths in AD 538. It was rebuilt by the Byzantines, becoming the capital of the maritime Pentapolis ("Five Cities") that included also Rimini, Pesaro, Senigallia and Ancona. In 754 it was donated to the Popes by the Frank kings.
The Malatesta became lords of the city in 1356 with Galeotto I Malatesta, who was nominally only a vicar of the Popes. Among the others, Pandolfo III resided in the city. Under his son, the famous condottiero Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, Fano was besieged by Papal troops under Federico III da Montefeltro, and returned to the Papal administration. It was later part of the short-lived state of Cesare Borgia, and then part of the duchy of the della Roveres in the Marche.
During the Napoleonic Wars it suffered heavy spoliations; the city had an active role in the Risorgimento. In World War I Fano was several times bombed by the Austro-Hungarian Navy. During World War II it was massively bombed by Allied airplanes due to hit the strategic railway and street bridges crossing the Metauro river, suffering also the destruction of all its bell towers by the Nazi occupation troops when they withdrew.
Main sights[edit]
Fano's main attractions include:
- The Roman gate called Arco d'Augusto. The upper story was destroyed in a siege conducted on the order of Pope Pius II in 1463, although a bas-relief of it was made by Bernardino di Pietro da Carona in 1513[2] on an adjacent wall of the annexed church and the loggia of St. Michael, the former having a noteworthy Renaissance portal.
- The Corte Malatestiana, built after 1357 by Galeotto I Malatesta. The 14th-century section includes a great vaulted hall (probably part of the first residence of the Malatesta in the city) and a small turret. The modern part was built under Pandolfo III in 1413–23. The current edifice was heavily restored in the 20th century, but original are the mullioned windows in Gothic style as well as the staircase and the loggia from a 16th-century restoration. Also noteworthy is the Borgia-Cybo Arch (late 15th century). The palace is connected to the Palazzo del Podestà by a modern bridge, probably present also in the original structure.
- The Rocca Malatestiana (Malatesta Castle) was partially destroyed in 1944. The most ancient part dates probably from pre-existing Roman and medieval fortifications. The castle in its current form was begun in 1433 or 1438 by Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta. The now missing mastio was erected in 1452. Here Sigismondo's son, Roberto, was besieged by Papal Troops in 1463 and signed the peace treaty that ended the Malatesta domination of Fano.
- The Museo Civico (Archeological Museum and Art Gallery), located inside the Palazzo Malatestiano, contains paintings by Guercino, Michele Giambono, and Giovanni Santi.
- The Cathedral (12th century), which was erected over a pre-existing cathedral destroyed by a fire in 1111. The current façade is from the 1920s restoration, but is similar to the original. The interior has a nave and two aisles. No remnants of the town's namesake temple have been uncovered, nor of the basilica we are told that Vitruvius built there.
- Palazzo del Podestà or della Ragione (built from 1229 in Romanesque-Gothic style). The interiors are in Neoclassicist style, and it houses a museum with archaeological findings, coins, medals, and an art gallery with works by Guido Reni, Domenichino and others.
- The church of St. Francis, housing the tombs of Pandolfo III Malatesta (designed by Leon Battista Alberti) and his first wife Paola Bianca Malatesta.
- The church of Santa Maria Nuova (1521). It has an ancient portal and two works by Perugino (Annunciation of Fano and Fano Altarpiece, the latter including perhaps an intervention by Raphael).
- The church of San Paterniano (16th century) with a Renaissance cloister.
- The Fontana della Fortuna (Fountain of Fortune) (17th century).
Outside the city, in the place called Bellocchi, is the church of St. Sebastian (16th century), for the construction of which parts of the ancient cathedral were used.
- Fano dei Cesari is held annually in July or August for a week.[3] During the week there are a variety of cultural events ending with a parade in Roman costumes and chariot races.
- The Fano Jazz by the Sea festival is held annually for one week.

The Andhra Pradesh Commercial Taxes NGOs Association has criticised the Andhra Pradesh NGOs Association for trying to bring pressure on elected representatives and thereby political parties to meet its end.
Members of the CT NGOs Association from 13 districts of Seemandhra met here on Thursday to chalk out their agitation programme. The Association president K.R.Suryanarayana and general secretary G.Satyanarayana addressing a press conference after the meeting said that they would go on strike from the midnight of August 12 along with the others, but they would agitate in coordination with the people and not the political parties.
The leaders said that the Centre should take into consideration various aspects before thinking of dividing the State.
Meanwhile, APTRANSCO employees have taken out a cycle rally to register their protest against the proposed division. An APTRANSCO Samaikyandhra JAC has been formed with D.Jagapathi Rao as the chairman for conducting programmes.

Arthur Christmas Photo Gallery
The 3D, CG-animated family comedy Arthur Christmas, an Aardman production for Sony Pictures Animation, at last reveals the incredible, never-before seen answer to every child's question: 'So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?' The answer: Santa's exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the heart of the film is a story of a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero, Arthur, with an urgent mission that must be completed before Christmas morning dawns.

The current special issue is written as a practical guide for the health care providers managing children with kidney diseases. In this issue, the guest editors have emphasized clinical skills, diagnostic procedures, treatment, long-term followup as well as underlying pathophysiology with the general practitioner in mind. Since the call for manuscripts by the journal, we received 27 excellent submissions. We selected 9 papers to include in this special issue. We chose only those that we deemed appropriate to the scope that we outlined for this special issue.
The guest editors who are leading experts in the field of pediatric nephrology did a terrific job writing their designated sections. A. J. Barakat's excellent perspective on presentation of children with renal disease is a practical guideline for referral to the specialist. S. Habib reviews controversies in the management of urinary tract infection. R. Quigley provides a comprehensive yet concrete review about children with chronic kidney disease. J. Gattineni discusses thoroughly the management of children presenting with proteinuria and hematuria. In my section on hypertension, I tried to provide a comprehensive practical guide that can be used in the management of a child with elevated blood pressure.
The nine papers that we selected for publication were outstanding. Y. R. Bhat et al. discuss the antenatal Bartter syndrome in a succinct fashion. D. Morin et al. provide a detailed review on nephrogenic SIADH, and kidney disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus are very well discussed by A. B. Dart et al. The approach to a patient with acute glomerulonephritis is also well covered by T. R. Welch.
On behalf of the contributing authors, we hope that the readership will use our contribution to help them manage children with kidney disease.

These microorganisms came from our culture collection as well as many collected by Dan around the wilds of Wisconsin! Fermented and aged in Oak. This beer spent the summer of 2009 aging outdoors in used oak barrels. Then bottle fermented. This is a funky and very sour beer not for the faint of heart. If you are unfamiliar with sour or Brettanomyces beers you may want to pass this one up!

postfix config & mailclients outside of the server's internal network
Hy there!
I used this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch (written by falko) to configure a mail server for one of my friends. Everything works well, till one point. I can't get it to work under any circumstances with a mail client (Thunderbird) from outside the network. Can you help me please? I modified mynetworks variable, adding my ip. With telnet I was able to send mails, but the mail client didn't react at all. Code:
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version |
What's the mail client telling you - is it just a firewall issue or something more complicated?

- How to Read a Study Record
Pityriasis alba (PA) is a frequent cause of consultation in tropical areas due to its chronic course, trend to relapse and aesthetic impact. Currently, no treatment is widely accepted. The objective is to assess the calcitriol and tacrolimus ointment efficacy in the treatment of PA compared with petrolatum. Twenty lesions on the face greater than 3 cm, in individuals of phototype IV-V, aged 3-18 years are going to be randomly assigned to receive petrolatum, calcitriol, and tacrolimus twice daily. No photoprotection is going to be indicated, and hygienic habits will not be modified. Patients will be evaluated at baseline and for 9 weeks, by means of Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL), colorimetry, clinically and by photography control.

Detailed Description:
Pityriasis alba (PA) is a benign inflammatory dermatosis affecting about 5% of infantile population, frequently seen in tropical areas of the world. This entity has received many synonymous such as chronic impetigo and erythema streptogenes, but its actual name was given from Hazen. PA is also considered a minor criterion for the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis. It is characterized by hypopigmented, irregular plaques with well-defined borders, covered by fine scales; it affects mainly face, limbs and occasionally thorax.
Its etiology is still unknown, although infectious mechanisms and vitamin and minerals deficiencies have been implicated, a causal relationship has not been recognized. However, excessive and unprotected sun exposure is considered the most important causal factor involved. However, studies from stratum corneum from of PA lesions have described defects in hygroscopicity and water-holding capacity detectable by water sorption-desorption test, this suggests that the condition is similar to a dermatitic change and its hypopigmentation may be consequence of a postinflammatory mechanism.
The study population will include at least 20 lesions in individuals with phototype IV-V, affected symmetrically by PA on the face. Their selected age will be less than 18 years. Patients with other dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis, use of any systemic or topical medication during the past 4 weeks will be excluded. Informed consent was obtained from the parents and children before entering the study, which was approved by the local ethical committee (Institutional Review Board).
Patients will be randomly assigned in a double-blind manner to receive on the lesions 0.0003% calcitriol (Galderma, France), 0.1% tacrolimus (Astellas, Pharma, USA), and petrolatum (Aquaphor ointment)in all of them. All subjects were instructed to apply the treatment twice daily. Sunscreen will not be indicated, and hygienic habits are not being changed. Hypopigmented areas are going to be initially evaluated and supervised at 3, 6 and 9 weeks. Digital photographic registration(frontal, right, and left views) with an SLR Fuji FinepixS1pro camera will be taken and analysed by ImageJ software to quantify the reduction area of the plaques. The methods of assessment involve clinical evaluation by investigators, an independent observer, and by the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) with an evaporimeter (Dermalab, Cortex Technology, Denmark), and pigmentary changes using a colorimeter (Chromameter CR-300, Minolta, Osaka, Japan). Water loss will be recorded on each plaque for 60 seconds, as well as the L* (luminosity) and a* (erythema) axis. All adverse effects will be recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using T student, the level of significance was set at 5%. And clinical evaluation will be analysed by means of chi square tests.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 2 Years to 18 Years |

Microsoft Says It Has Sold 40 Million Windows 8 Licenses
Skip to storyMicrosoft has sold 40 million Windows 8 licenses in the month since it launched, suggesting that the operating system is selling faster, and in larger numbers, than Windows 7.
Microsoft executive Tami Reller announced the milestone at the Credit Suisse 2012 Annual Technology Conference, and the company reiterated it Tuesday in a blog post that said, "Windows 8 is outpacing Windows 7 in terms of upgrades."
This is the first sales figure Microsoft has shared since CEO Steve Ballmer said the company had gotten 4 million Windows 8 upgrades in four days, and it must be taken with a big spoonful of salt. Microsoft did not specify how Windows 8 devices are selling in comparison to past launch devices. Nor did it say whether Windows 8 is selling below expectations, as recent reports have suggested. The catch in all of this is that 40 million figure includes all of the licenses Microsoft has sold, including to manufacturers building Windows 8 hardware. That means many of those 40 million copies of Windows 8 haven't actually made their way into consumers' hands.
Microsoft also emphasized that its Windows Store is growing in conjunction with Windows 8 growth. A report from app analytics company Distimo suggests the same thing and notes that millions of people who have upgraded to Windows 8 are downloading Windows Store apps at a healthy rate. The top 300 apps in the Windows Store have an average of 200,000 downloads per day. The top 300 apps in the Mac App Store see around 80,000 daily downloads, the firm said.
The Windows Store had grown to 21,183 apps by Nov. 22, according to Distimo's data. That puts the Windows Store at more than twice the size it was at launch on Oct. 26 and more robust than the Mac App Store, which has around 13,000 apps. Still, it's significantly lower than the 600,000-plus apps available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. Since the Windows Store covers both desktop computers and tablets and the Windows Phone Store offers apps for smartphones, it's somewhat difficult to compare the various available app stores across platforms.
Missing from Distimo's report, however, is the total download rate for both stores. Distimo does mention that when it comes to paid apps, the Mac App Store is still performing much better than the Windows Store, with five times as many downloads. While Windows 8 users are downloading plenty of apps, they aren't necessarily paying much, or anything, for them.
Microsoft's Windows Store has significantly fewer paid apps than its competitors. Paid apps make up only 14 percent of the Windows Store, compared to the 35 percent in Google Play and 84 percent in Apple's App Store. Microsoft did not specify how much revenue the Windows Store has made, but noted "a number of apps in the Windows Store have crossed the $25,000 revenue mark and the developer keeps 80 percent of the revenue they make off downloads for the life of their app." Download rates of paid apps, however, are much lower than download rates of free apps.
More notable is that Windows 8 users are actually active on the Windows Store, which will likely convince developers who have been hesitant to build for the nascent platform.

Title: | Nonmonotonicity and Compatibility Relations in Belief Structures |
Authors: | R. R. Yager |
Series: | Linköping Electronic Articles
in Computer and Information Science ISSN 1401-9841 |
Issue: | Vol. 5 (2000), No. 020 |
URL: | http://www.ep.liu.se/ea/cis/2000/020/ |
Abstract: | We concern ourselves with the situation in which we use the Dempster-Shafer belief structure to provide a representation of a random variables in which our knowledge of the probability distribution is imprecise. We discuss the role of compatibility relations as a means of enabling inference about one variable, the secondary variable, based upon knowledge about another variable, the primary. We define monotonicity as a condition in which an increase in information about the primary variable in an inference should not result in a decrease in information about the secondary variable. We show what are the conditions required of a compatibility relation to lead to monotonic and nonmonotonic inferences. We provide some examples of nonmonotonic relations. |

S.J.C. Order of Term Suspension entered by Justice Spina on October 10, 2008.1 MEMORANDUM OF DECISION The Board of Bar Overseers adopted the findings of fact and conclusions of law of a hearing committee, and voted to file an Information with the Supreme Judicial Court recommending that the respondent, Jay M. Lipis, be suspended from the practice of law for two years.2 There is substantial evidence that supports the findings and conclusions of the board, summarized as follows. Count One. In January, 2003, the respondent telephoned an insurance adjuster's supervisor and, without identifying himself personally, said he was an officer of the court3 who overheard a judge say that he was appalled that the insurer had made only one offer to settle a particular claim that was the subject of an unfair settlement practices (G. L. c. 93 A) case (Baer case) on trial before the judge. He quoted the judge as saying the insurer was going to get "hammered." The respondent told the supervisor that the insurer should consider itself "warned," and advised settlement of the case. The respondent had a similar case pending against the same insurer. The day after he spoke to the supervisor, he telephoned the adjuster in his case to say that the insurer was going to lose the Baer case. In the meantime, the insurer filed a motion for a mistrial in the Baer case. At an evidentiary hearing on the motion, the insurer's counsel reported that the telephone call had been traced to the respondent's law office. The respondent left a message on the answering machine in the judge's lobby to the effect that he would attend the continued hearing on the motion for mistrial because he wanted to testify that he had been misunderstood. The judge received the message. The judge decided he would allow the motion for a mistrial and recuse himself. He also cancelled the next hearing date. The defendant learned that the judge cancelled the hearing. He telephoned the judge's lobby and left a message on the answering machine to the effect that the allegations against him were "incredible," and he "want[ed] to straighten the record out." The hearing committee disbelieved the respondent's testimony that he telephoned the judge's lobby solely out of concern for his reputation. Instead, the hearing committee found he wanted to dissuade the judge from declaring a mistrial. The hearing committee found that the respondent fabricated information about the judge's impressions of the Baer trial to affect the insurer's decision in his pending case. The respondent's intentional misrepresentations to the supervisor violated Mass. R. Prof. C. 8.4 (c), 426 Mass. 1429 (1998) (conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation). Because the misrepresentations also were aimed at a witness in an ongoing trial, they cast doubt on the integrity of the judge and the adjudicative process, they could have affected a party's willingness to proceed with trial, and they resulted ultimately in a mistrial, they violated Mass. R. Prof. C. 8.4 (d), 426 Mass. 1429 (1998) (conduct that is prejudicial to administration of justice). The respondent's exparte telephone calls to the judge's lobby constitute violations of Mass. R. Prof. C. 3.5 (a), 426 Mass. 1391 (1998) ("a lawyer shall not seek to influence a judge . . . by means prohibited by law"), 3.5 (b), 426 Mass. 1391 (1998) ("a lawyer shall not communicate ex parte with [a judge] except as permitted by law"), and 8.4 (d) (conduct that is prejudicial to administration of justice). Count Two. In June, 2004, the respondent refused to turn over, within a reasonable time after discharge, clients' files to successor counsel in a contingent fee case, in violation of Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.16 (d), (e) (5), 426 Mass. 1369, 1370-1371 (1998). His conduct toward successor counsel was intemperate and vulgar. The respondent made certain knowingly false statements when responding to the grievance filed against him, in violation of Mass. R. Prof. C. 8.1 (a), 426 Mass. 1427 (1998) (knowingly making a false statement of material fact in connection with a bar discipline matter), and 8.4 (c). Sanctions. The proper sanction must be determined by sanctions imposed in comparable cases. See Matter of Alter, 389 Mass. 153, 156 (1983). The recommendation of the board is entitled to substantial deference. Matter of Tobin, 417 Mass. 81,88(1994). The respondent's ex parte telephone communications (recorded on an answering machine) to the judge's lobby warrant a sanction of at least a public sanction, but probably a three-month suspension. See Matter of Orfanello, 411 Mass. 551 (1992) (three-month suspension); Matter of Wilson, 17 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 608 (2001) (public censure); Matter of Ryan, 6 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 275 (1989) (public censure). The misconduct involving misrepresentations intending to interfere with the testimony of a witness in an ongoing trial, which also were intended to affect the outcome in his pending case, and which brought about a mistrial, warrant a suspension of at least one year. See Matter of Goodman, 22 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 352 (2006) (one year); Matter of Ghitelman, 20 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 162 (2004) (one year and one day); Matter of Neri, 17 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 417 (2001) (one year and one day). The conduct involving client files in count two usually warrants private discipline, see AD-04-07, 20 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 686 (2004), but it is aggravated by the respondent's hostile conduct toward successor counsel. Moreover, in aggravation, the respondent previously had been disciplined by public reprimand for "intemperate remarks during [a] mediation and his use of vulgar and insulting language . . . intended to disrupt a tribunal." Matter of Lipis, 18 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 369 (2002). The misrepresentations made to bar counsel during the investigation that led to count two involved, as found by the hearing committee, "material elements of his narrative to Bar Counsel to make it more credible that his clients had been lured away from him unlawfully." Such misconduct warrants at least a public reprimand. See Matter of Sprei, 10 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 246, 249 (1994) (prior discipline for filing inaccurate and misleading reports with court and with bar counsel relative to attorney he was to monitor). Other aggravating factors include the respondent's substantial experience practicing law, see Matter of Luongo, 416 Mass. 308, 312 (1993), and the presence of multiple violations. See Matter of Saab, 406 Mass. 315, 326 (1989). The hearing committee and the board also concluded that the respondent "lacked appreciation of his fundamental ethical responsibilities as an attorney." See Matter of Clooney, 403 Mass. 654, 657-658 (1988). Considering the various sanctions and aggravating factors, the recommendation of the board, to which substantial deference is owed, is comparable to what has been imposed in qualitatively similar cases. I therefore ORDER that a judgment enter suspending the respondent from the practice of law for a term of two years.
FOOTNOTES: 1 The complete Order of the Court is available by contacting the Clerk of the Supreme Judicial Court for Suffolk County. 2 The hearing committee recommended a suspension of one year and one day. Bar counsel recommended a suspension of three years before the hearing committee and the board, but now recommends a suspension of two years. 3 There was some question whether he said "court officer" or "officer of the court. The hearing committee found no need to resolve the question.

Juggling the caseloads of 9 attorneys keeps Gretchen Embrey's hands full
By Chip Mellor
Six heavy, document-filled boxes sat imposingly behind us as we began our trial in Chattanooga to break open the funeral industry's monopoly on selling caskets. Facing an array of expert and lay witnesses, we had to be exceedingly well-prepared with all of our documents instantly accessible. That's why, in the midst of the trial, when I turned around in need of a key document, I took such delight in seeing Gretchen Embrey sitting calmly next to the paper-packed boxes. Sure enough, Gretchen promptly handed me the necessary documents, and we did not miss a beat in our trial presentation.
Such steadfast efficiency and professionalism under pressure epitomize Gretchen's performance as IJ's chief paralegal. Thanks to Gretchen, the daunting amount of paperwork generated in our cases is always well organized, court filings are timely and complete, and the lives of our attorneys are immeasurably more pleasant in the face of very intense litigation. Perhaps most impressive, Gretchen juggles the needs of nine demanding attorneys with poise and unfailing good humor. For that she earns the undying respect and gratitude of us all.
In the five years since she joined IJ, Gretchen has contributed to our litigation success in countless ways. And, amidst all of her responsibilities, she still finds time to organize our softball season each summer! Gretchen Embrey: Paralegal extraordinaire!

This Week's TV: Your One Chance To Watch Bryan Fuller's Lunar Adventure
Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller also adapted a classic novel of extraterrestrial discovery for television — and tonight, we'll get our one and only chance to see High Moon. But also, two incredibly weird comedians are bringing you a new spin on the Twilight Zone. And that's not all television has in store for you…
Here's the first real info on Bryan Fuller's new Syfy series High Moon
Bryan Fuller has made such awesome (if oft prematurely canceled) shows as Pushing Daisies, Mockingbird Lane, Wonderfalls, Hannibal, and the first season of Heroes. He also loves scifi in general and Star Trek in particular, which is presumably why he's taking his talents to Syfy for his new series High Moon.

Carl Bildt tells reporters vote was 'regrettable' and 'serves no useful purpose'
March 12, 2010 7:00 PM
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt has denounced a parliamentary resolution that recognizes the killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks as genocide.Bildt held talks with his Turkish counterpart late Friday on the sidelines of a meeting of European foreign ministers in Finland. He told reporters on Saturday that the vote in Sweden's parliament was "regrettable" and "serves no useful purpose."Swedish lawmakers by a narrow margin Thursday passed the resolution recognizing the "genocide of Armenians." Days earlier, there was a similar vote by a U.S. congressional committee.Turkey condemned both measures and recalled its ambassadors from the United States and Sweden.Armenians say Ottoman Turks slaughtered as many as 1.5 million people from 1915 until 1923.Turkey recognizes that Armenians were killed, but says the death toll is greatly exaggerated. It says the Armenians died in a civil war that accompanied the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Saturday that parliaments should not try to define history.

Was at the Tampa Con on sunday supporting my friend Joe(who draws and writes his own indie book Unlikely Heroes) and my sister and her boyfriend, when this guy came up. He was holding this big folder with a bunch of green pages. Well long story short this guy has been going around to conventions and having different artists draw Green Lanterns and he is building up an archival of sorts. It was pretty cool and I was porud to be able to be a part of it even if my sketch was far from his best. I dont mean to pimp another site but any green lantern fan needs to take a look at what this guy is doing.

WELLSBORO - The Towanda Black Knights showed up in Wellsboro last night with determination; nothing was going to take this win away from them. Their old but familiar offense given the name of elephant-rhino was a key component of their 42-14 defeat over the Wellsboro Hornets.
The Knights got the ball rolling early in the game, coming out on the first drive of the game with a touchdown. With 11:43 left to play in the first, sophomore quarterback Noah Huff raced down the right sideline for the score. Kicker Nick Place's PAT was good, and Towanda led 7-0 only 17 seconds into the game. Wellsboro would gain possession, and attempt a field goal on fourth and eight, which was wide left, and Towanda still led 7-0.
On Towanda's next possession, a couple mistakes cost them the ball, handing it right back to the Hornets. On second and six, a Michael Pietropola pass to a wide open Ben Shaw changed the score. Kicker Jonathan Chambers' extra point was true, and the game was tied, 7-all with 4:16 left in the first quarter.
The beginning of the second quarter was a lot like the first. With only 11:21 to play, Justin Hunsinger pounded the ball one long yard into the end zone for the score. The PAT was again true, and the Knights extended their lead to 14-7.
On Wellsboro's ensuing drive, Daniel Saniga gave them their first punt of the night, setting the Knights up at the Wellsboro 40 yard line. Noah Huff would pass to Austin Markel on first and ten, who would then in turn run 20 yards down the left side line for the score. Place's extra point was good, and Towanda led 21-7 with 9:27 left. Wellsboro's next drive again ended in a punt, giving the ball to Towanda, whose drive also resulted in a punt - their first one of the night.
When Wellsboro took possession of the football, again, Pietropola threw an interception, this time into the arms of David Canfield, who set Towanda up at the Wellsboro 46. From there, Noah Huff would throw an incomplete pass on second and ten, three sets of hands reaching for the ball and no one coming away with it, to conclude the first half.
The Hornets came out of the locker room, and their first drive once again resulted in a punt from Saniga. Towanda's 15 play drive would set them up at the Wellsboro four, just the place for Brandon Dinelli to be pushed into the end zone by a pile of defenders. Again, Place's extra point made the cut and the scoreboard now read 28-7. On their next drive, Huff threw an interception to Anthony Cooper, who stepped in front of the pass and then raced 75 yards down the right sideline for the touchdown. Chambers' extra point was again true, and the Knights' lead was cut, 28-14 with 11:19 to play in the fourth.
A few penalties later, and Pietropola would throw his second pick on the night, this one caught by Dinelli. On second and twelve, Huff would scamper down the field 82 yards with 8:36 left in the game. For the seventh time of the night, Place's kick was true, and the Black Knights now led, 35-14. Another punt from the Hornets set up shop for Towanda at the Wellsboro 45. Nine plays later, Hunsinger would run two yards in for his second score of the night. The PAT was good, and with 1:41 left in the fourth, the final score was set, 42-14.
Noah Huff led all rushers with 207 yards on 18 carries, followed by Justin Hunsinger with 24 carries for 118 yards. For the Hornets, Wyatt Covert had 69 yards on six carries.

Mediamark partners with MBI for proposed 2011 launch of US Touchpoints
US— 2011 has been earmarked as a potential launch date for the US version of the UK's Touchpoints multimedia survey and planning database.
The Media Behaviour Institute (MBI), the holder of the US licence for the Touchpoints name and methodology, has partnered with GfK's Mediamark Research & Intelligence (MRI) to run the study, which collects data on when, where and how people are using the variety of media channels open to them.
MBI has been working on transferring the survey to the US since June 2008, when it secured the Touchpoints licence from the UK's Institute for Practitioners in Advertising (IPA). Initially pursuing an observational approach to tracking media use, MBI has now developed an iPhone application through which study participants can self-report where they are, what they are doing and what media they are consuming every half hour over a 10-day period.
Pilot studies using this iPhone media diary have already been completed in Detroit and Indianapolis, administered by MRI and involving 50 adults. The partners said cooperation had "exceeded expectations" with 82% of invitees agreeing to participate and 90% of participants seeing the study through to completion.
Respondents are recruited via MRI's Survey of the American Consumer, an annual face-to-face survey of 26,000 consumers covering their usage of nearly 6,000 product and service brands across 550 categories, along with magazines and newspaper readership, internet usage, TV viewership, national and local radio listening, Yellow Pages usage and out-of-home media exposure.
It is the diary data mixed with the American Consumer survey information that will form the basis of the Touchpoints database. "We are on our way to establishing a new standard for integrated research to support multichannel planning," said MBI chief executive Bill Moult.
Referring to the pilot test, Moult's MRI counterpart, Kathi Love (pictured), said: "We knew where a respondent was, who they were with, what they were doing and what media they encountered along the way. And because these consumers are respondents to MRI's Survey of the American Consumers, we also know what they buy and how they think. This facilitates the highest form of context planning."
Meanwhile, wave three of the UK's Touchpoints survey is due to report in July.

There are 8 lottery picks every year. Most of those picks stay in the league for 5 - 6 years. So that's 40 - 48 lottery picks. How many turn out to be true franchise players? How many of those 48 aren't even starters 3 year later?
Never said it didn't hurt to have good position picking. But a lot of franchise players have been picked by good GM's selecting from spot number 9 on down. Personally I would rather have the management smarts working on the side of the team I am rooting for. Then you might wind up with a team the "franchise player" bolts to after his rookie contract is up.
Totally agree.
I think D. Smith's comment was taken slightly out of context. First of all, he said "building" a successful team, not "rebuilding" so i dont think he was necessarily referring to the Raps. Also, if you think of it in terms of a team on the fringe of being successful, then draft picks are a small part of such a team. If its a team like the Raps, then picks are a huge part of the building process. I do hope after this draft, we never ever get a lottery pick again.
And the question arises, if say the Raptors get lucky and land the #1 pick in this season's draft, and the Blazers offer Batum (im using him as an example since everybody here seems to love him) in exchange for the #1 pick, would you do it?
I think this is the perfect example of the argument, which is better, draft or trades
Two points:
1. The time between drafting a player and winning a title isn't overnight. Dallas got Dirk on a draft-day deal (or thereabouts), same with Kobe, and the Spurs had Duncan. Did they win a title immediately? No. Did they win it with the people they got on draft day? yes.
2. You're comparing apples and oranges. The teams you listed can all attract free-agents, the Raptors cannot. Hence, drafting is even more important for the Raptors than teams who can afford to play the FA market. It's not a surprise that the very light success this franchise has had was on the backs of drafted players - Vince Carter, T-Mac, and not free-agents - Hedo Turkoglu, Jermaine O'Neal, etc.
I think what Puffer is insinuating is once you get that franchise player, it doesnt make sense relying on the draft year after year to get talent. But i agree with Arse, the Raptors need this draft, heck, until they get a franchise player, they need to rely heavily on the draft.
Having said that, i would still trade that #1 pick if i was offered a franchise player in return.
The lack of a state-of-the-art arena cost Seattle their franchise. The success of Oklahoma City hosting the New Orleans Hornets after Katrina probably had an impact on that relocation as well.
Off the top of my head:
Shaq in Orlando. Next year they get #1 and trade Webber for Penney Hardaway who was #3.
Aldridge and Roy in Portland. Next year Oden #1. Didn't quite work out due to injury but, man, what if.
Kevin Love in Minnesota. Next year Rubio.
The Rubio pick was acquired by Minnesota via a trade with Washington for Mike Miller and Randy Foye.
Houston drafted Ralph Samson in 1983 and then redefined the word tank the following season to win a 50% chance at the privilege of drafting Hakeem Olajuwon.
I was always curious whether Houston would have been a better team than Chicago had Sampson not been injured.
Been an interesting discussion. I'm not personally convinced that Drafting is the most important element of a teams success, but it probably isn't the least important either.
What messes things up is when teams get good drafting position, and then their management team makes bad selections. Contrariwise, teams drafting in worst position often get excellent picks that were flying under the radar, or that are solid role players that every team wants five years down the road, making trades possible when the team is trying to fill holes in the roster.
I agree it has been a good discussion.
I still definitely disagree with the draft being arguably the smallest part of building a successful team. A lot of things go in to building a successful team but I don't think the draft is the least of them. The draft gives struggling teams their best shot at young, talented players.
I can only imagine what kind of amazing things we'll see next season from the raps

Christian Domestic Discipline
I talked to my hubby about this last night after he got home from work.
We even went to the CDD website to read up a little more because neither one of us had ever heard of this before yesterday.
Needless to say.. Yeah.. We both feel it's a sick and twisted practice after reading the website.
Really seems like that this is advocated and has come about for a couple of reasons:
1) People who do have a little freak in them, like a little slap and tickle in the bedroom.. Either giving or receiving. And they didn't feel that those types of sexual activities went with their religious beliefs. So this is a way that they fill that need.
2).. Men who have really heavy control issues.. Who want total control of everything in their lives, including their wives' actions...
3).. Men who have control issues who wish to be able to hit their wives but need a justification. And with this they got one, "Religion"..
4) It is used by some as a means to handle conflict and problems in their marriage. Instead of working together to try and fix their problems. They just punish or discipline their spouse and bingo their problems they have are gone.
EDIT:::::: I cut off the crap from the site and their link since the OP had already put it up..

Bad fashion all over the place. I don't know who half of these people are anyway. Ashley Greene should have worn the green dress. It would have looked better on her than that girl who is wearing it. The fashion thing isn't the same without Kristen Stewart. Even if I hate what she wears, it's always edgy and different.

Made for my brother's big feet, this is a top-down sock with a very subtle pattern. The pattern is charted only, no description, but it's fairly easy to follow. The texture is entirely knit/purl based, and so it knits up pretty quickly. I'm not certain how much yarn you'll need, it depends on how big the feet are you're trying to cover. I used one skein for each foot, since I wanted to be safe, and I had quite a bit of extra at the end.

Truth in advertising lives! The covers in this series always show female faces with their mouths filled with cock—and that is exactly what you get in this latest release in the series devoted to oral, gagging, swallowing and just overall messy blowjobs. A large cast of cuties and industry studs keeps the action hopping.
This starts with a party which quickly turns into a mouth orgy topped off with facials. Next, Kasey Grant makes her own party and takes on a trio of studs—whatta gal! From here, the action continues with more parties, big and small, and other themes, such as voyeurism as a guy whacks off watching from a closet as his woman blows and jacks off what appears to be an unaware customer in a jack shack room. A special pat on the nodding head of Lina Paige should be made for personally draining five overeager cocks.
