Julien Khabbaz, the head of investment banking at FFA, attends the Lebanese premiere of 2 guns, starring Mark Whalberg and Denzel Washington at ABC in Beirut, Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2013. (The Daily Star)
BEIRUT: Beirut has been a backdrop for war and terrorism in countless American movies, but one Lebanese investment bank, FFA Private Bank, has been working behind the scenes for the past two years to put the country on the map as a different sort of cinematic destination by co-financing two major Hollywood films.
The first of FFA's film forays, "2 Guns," an $84-million blockbuster starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg, premiered in the Middle East last week after reaching No. 1 on the U.S. box office charts in its opening weekend in August.
The head of investment banking at FFA, Julien Khabbaz, agreed to take an equity stake of nearly 40 percent in "2 Guns" in 2011, making FFA the film's largest shareholders, and he expects the approximately 40 investors who participated in the private placement to receive annual returns of about 20 percent. The second film, an animated adaptation of Gibran Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet," is in production and will premiere next year at the Cannes Film Festival.
Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Qatar have all set up state-run film financing arms since major Hollywood production studios began drastically cutting the number of new films they finance in 2008, but FFA private bank was one of the first institutional investors in the Middle East to try its luck in the movie business when Khabbaz was approached about "The Prophet" in 2010.
"A couple of years ago, by chance, I was sent an email from a friend from overseas who said we have this interesting opportunity," Khabbaz told The Daily Star last week. "I start looking at it and I'm thinking, 'This is crazy. Movies. Who would invest in that?' Obviously having no clue that this is a valuable asset class. So we start researching. In the U.S. big movies get funded by either big studios, institutional investors or major funds. Obviously, the perception is that it is a very risky investment, and it is risky in a sense, but what most people don't know is that most movies recoup their capital. A few lose money, but a few make a lot of money. The question is hitting the ones that make a lot of money."
Putting up just under $15 million as the majority financer of "The Prophet" was an easy decision for FFA, Khabbaz said, because the project not only boasted a cultural connection that would resonate with investors, but had also locked in a good foreign and domestic distributor and producers. "The book has sold 100 million copies world wide. [Gibran is] the third widest read poet in history, and obviously it helps that he's Lebanese as well because investors felt a kind of pride or patriotic duty, but its not just that," Khabbaz said. "First and foremost this is not a sponsorship deal or a donation, so we looked at what the budget is, what the potential returns are, how much profit we can generate for our clients, and we decided that this was really a unique opportunity given the history of the book and how many copies it sold."
Movies are just one of the many off-the-beaten track asset classes that FFA has ventured into since it was granted a specialized license to become Lebanon's first private investment bank in 2007. FFA has structured private equity deals in Lebanon and locations as far-flung as Khazakstan, India, Bangladesh and Nigeria since then, and currently has about 5,000 clients and assets valued at just under $1 billion, in addition to a separate real estate development arm, Khabbaz said.
Despite the negative economic and security situation, FFA Real Estate is currently managing the development of a $40 million project to build a wellness center at the Naas Springs in Lebanon. It also launched a luxury residential development in Amchit earlier this year, which Khabbaz said was selling well because it was a niche product that doesn't exist anywhere else in the Lebanese property market.
"If you want to buy something on the sea you have very [few] choice[s]. You either buy a plot of land on the beach and spend a fortune to buy a house or you buy a chalet that has been there since the 1980s," Khabbaz said. "Obviously the real estate sector has had a slowdown, but it's not something disastrous. It was growing too fast and now it's just growing nicely I think. There's no scenario where you've had people going bankrupt or developers stopping projects or sales completely stopping. It's not that bad. There will always be people who need to buy properties. Now it's become a question of niche product. If you're still building 500 square meters in prime areas you're going to have to wait to sell these. But that doesn't mean there are not clients who are still looking to buy houses."
Next on the private equity horizon for FFA is a $6 million capital raise to fund the expansion of W Motors, the Lebanese-designed luxury company that unveiled the prototype of the $3.4 million, limited edition "supercar" earlier this year. "That's an investment we're super excited about, one because it's the first Arab company developing sports cars and two because the investment itself is very promising," Khabbaz said. "Ralph [Debbas, the founder and Chairman of W Motors] is doing something no one ever dreamed of. The clientele for that kind of car, we're talking collectors from all over the world."
The seven supercars are in production now, Khabbaz said, and will be shown at the Dubai Motor Show in November for the first time. The $6 million will fund the construction of a W Motors manufacturing plant in the UAE. "It's not a big amount, but it's one of those stories we really wanted to be part of and we think there will be tremendous returns," he said. "We try to do stuff that is different, whether it is the movie or supercars or exotic locations."

Alice A. Bailey (1880 - 1949), born in England was a writer and lecturer on Neo-Theosophy. She lived in America since the year 1907. She was a prolific author on mysticism and founded an international esoteric movement. She has authored many a book on subjects concerning with spirituality, esoteric astrology and esoteric healing. The emergence of Esoteric astrology is based on Alice's soul-oriented wisdom teachings. Esoteric astrologers typically base their work on Bailey's five-volume series, Treatise on the Seven Rays. The third book in the series, Her book "Esoteric Astrology" is considered to be the foundation for this system, "Treatise on the Seven Rays" is the one that contains the basics of the subject.
Esoteric astrology is a branch of Astrology. While Mundane (or classical) astrology focuses on the personality (individual identity), Esoteric Astrology is concerned with the spiritual evolution of a person or groups of persons.Esoteric astrology focuses on the soul, or one's higher purpose. Development of the Soul component in the human being is the main focus of Esoteric astrology. Letting a deeper energy influence one's consciousness leads to transform him into a 'Soul Infused' human who would consider life as soul oriented and would give not credence to the influence of the collective unawareness. Even though Esoteric astrology works for the enlightenment of the spiritual quality in a person, the practice of esoteric astrology still takes a cue only from the Sun, Moon and Ascendant to determine the basic principles and the chart comes in handy in the same way as it does for exoteric astrology.
However planetary rulerships in esoteric astrology differ from that of conventional astrology. Instead of the house system, a system of crosses with highly individualized meanings and multiple levels of interpretation has been introduced.
The esoteric astrology employs a system of symbolic representation of pictogram and hieroglyphic with most of the mundane images to portray the complex inner realities. It believes nothing exists without being linked to images or concepts which lead, ultimately, to the divine. Mainly it traces an aspect from the horoscope to find out its divine origins. Aspect in esoteric astrology is not the angular relationship between the planets, but is a group of symbols combining the planets, signs, and houses. By exploring the aspect the personality could be led in a relevant and meaningful direction, according to the Soul's Purpose.
Esoteric astrology incorporates many layers of study, dovetailing into other levels of astrology and the Seven Rays.(the fundamental divine energies behind life in the universe). The seven Rishis represented by the seven stars of the Great Bear are the originating sources of the seven rays of our solar system. The Rishis express themselves through the seven planets. The planets are considered as their representatives. Each of these seven rays, coming from the Great Bear, are transmitted into our solar system through the medium of three constellations and their ruling planets.
The Seven Rays is one among the "septenaries (groups of seven such as 7 solar systems, 7 sacred planets, 7 colours, 7 endocrine glands etc.)", on the basis of which occultism has been built. As in the case of astrological practice Rays are ruled by the Planets, and hence the interface between Rays, planets & zodiac signs. It is believed that each individual human soul is an essential part of one of the Seven Rays, and by successive births the qualities of that soul are developed and refined, to advance the evolution of Humanity.
The important tables of 7 Rays that depict the relationship of human life to the septenary are given below:
1.Planets, Colours, Chakras & Jewels of the Seven Rays
2. Virtues and Vices of the Seven Rays
Glamour's of the Seven Rays
3. Dual Expression of the Seven Rays
4. Seven Rays Miscellany
5. Vocations of the Seven Rays
6. The Seven Rays in Nations and Cities
7. The Seven Rays in Literature, Music and Art and
8. The Seven Rays of Historical Figures
Alice Bailey herself has drawn a distinction between the exoteric and esoteric astrology in her book Esoteric a Astrology: "The human being in his eventual recognized group relationships is of more importance than appears in his individual life, which the orthodox horoscope seeks to elucidate. It only determines his little destiny and unimportant fate. Esoteric astrology indicates his group usefulness and the scope of his potential consciousness".

Dakar Dazed II - the return! Part 1: Project LC4-50

Hi Brimstone! - I'm sure you're not the only one wondering this, hell I'm wondering myself!
Typically things have taken a lot longer than we first imagined - not so much the physical development, but a series of other commitments (for John at Rally Raid in particular) over the past couple of months mean things have not progressed as far as we'd hoped.
The good news is we have a bike, and an engine sitting on the bench and a crank and rod assembled.
John has also CAD designed the shape of the piston we are confident will produce the correct compression for the prototype engine - Cosworth have also modeled this on our behalf, but that will be for the production spec pistons.
John and Martin (from Torque Racing) are currently in Malta for a week preparing a pair of 690cc Rallye bikes with the EVO2 kit for a couple of guys who raced the Heroes-Legend last year, and will be racing the new kits at the Transanatolia Rally in September. Once John and Martin are back, work will resume on the LC4-50...
However, one element we had not fully considered at the inception of the project was the fact that while a KTM 690 is an FIM homologated machine for the 450+cc Open Class, it is not homologated as a 450cc production machine of course.
Now we all know (and the FIM agree) that it really is just a case of a capacity change to comply with the ASO/Dakar (and FIM Cross Country Championship rules, which the ASO use) - the original production bike itself - frame, swingarm, engine cases etc are all exactly the same...
However, rules is rules - and if it still says KTM690 on the homologation papers, the ASO scrutineers are at liberty to exclude it as it doesn't comply with their rules - that it must be based on a single cylinder production machine, of 450cc capacity or less - even though ours is a single cylinder production machine, and we can prove (and they can test at the time) the capacity has been reduced to 449cc... the problem is that it wasn't originally built as a 450 from the manufacturer.
The alternative is to rename the bike to avoid any confusion, and effectively create a new model... however, we then are faced with the situation that the bike is not homologated at all! Obviously we are in no position to go into full scale production of this bike, and produce 100* examples required for homologation - never mind the associated costs of FIM homologation itself.
*Note in my discussions with the FIM, they are considering lowering this number to perhaps 75 or less, but still it is not applicable to our project - while we intend to build maybe 3 or 4 examples this year at most - a couple for testing and the pair of Dakar bikes.
So we are in effect in limbo at the moment - the ASO have agreed to allow us to enter a reduced capacity 690, as long as it complies (or at least is approved by) the FIM homologation department.
Our situation has been fully explained to the FIM homologation department, and we are waiting for a reply from the Commission as to whether they will approve (not fully homologate it must be clear) this bike for the 450cc production class.
While there is no physical reason not to allow this bike, they are concerned about setting a precedent in a class that currently has no facility for 'prototypes' to be included.
One might argue that surely this would actually encourage engine development from other manufacturers - a larger oil capacity/longer service interval 450cc engine with a broad spread of gears is the golden goose here on ADVrider - and you'd think in this austere times of rising fuel prices and evermore stringent emissions controls, that development of such would be a priority for the dual-sport/adventure travel market?
However, the reality of course is that the the dual-sport adventure market is still very small in comparison to the big 1000+cc behemoths, never mind the street bikes, cruisers and MX machines; and that ultimately racing (at the manufacturer sharp end at least) is all about who's fastest, and makes the most power...
So we wait. For a while longer at least.
ps. Even if the decision is not returned in our favor, John does still intend to build the prototype engine - just because he likes a challenge and is bloody minded enough to do it! As his quote on the Jennydakar.com website says: "To try is not to fail..."
However should that be the outcome, where that leaves my personal Dakar campaign is a story for a whole other thread perhaps...
Honda CB500X 'Adventure' - not a unicorn as such, just a little mule with a bump on it's head...

ConstantColor CMH lamps combine HPS technology (providing stability, efficiency & uniformity) and Metal Halide Technology (providing bright white quality light) to produce highly efficient light sources with good color rendering and consistent color performance through life. This is achieved by using the ceramic arc tube material from the Lucalox lamp, which minimizes the chemical changes inside the lamp through life. GE has now miniaturized this technology resulting in the CMH Precise MR16, highly efficient 20 & 35 Watt lamps with the light quality and color stability associated with Ceramic Metal Halide, in a size comparable to tungsten halogen reflector lamps, thus offering new energy saving options to the lighting designer and end user.

I have seen the HL-550fx on Tokyo's website and it appears to be just what I want (160-6M). It must be fairly new as I haven't been able to find any reviews on it.
I don't even know if they ship to Canada but I would like to know more about it before I go any further.
Are there any users of this out there?

A-Trak's "Piss Test" is anti-Miami Vice music. It's influenced by the '80s but filled with womps and warbles, and has darkness that would have made Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas uneasy while approaching the scene of a crime. As the title suggests, this is about imbibing, and Juicy J—who, after all, can't say no—and an extra focused Danny Brown take the off-kilter beat and turn it into a weirdo's playground. The track, now available for purchase, comes from an upcoming Fool's Gold compilation, Loosies.

St Peter, Lindsey
www.suffolkchurches.co.uk - a journey through the churches of Suffolk
hover to read,
The first entry for this church was one of the first on the Suffolk Churches site. I believe that only Thornham Parva preceded it. I have revisited Thornham Parva probably a dozen times since then, and rewritten its entry three or four times, but on a crisp winter day in January 2006 I came back to Lindsey for the first time in six years.
I suppose that not much has changed in the village since then, and when I look at what I wrote there is not much to correct. It is still a delightful village in the gentle hills between Hadleigh and Lavenham. The chapel of St James, now in the care of English Heritage, still hides away behind a hedge on the top road. Tragically though, one of the pubs has closed. The White Rose is no longer, and only the Red Rose remains. These two had existed at either end of the village for centuries, and for one of them to be lost is like an arm being lopped off.
The temperature on this sunny morning was just creeping above freezing, the rime of frost retreating and dissolving, the air stunningly clear. Across the valley I could make out scatters of crows miles away, and there was a frozen silence that I loved. I stood and breathed the cold air.
Lindsey, and its neighbours Kersey, Boxford and Groton, was a hotbed of puritan dissent in the early part of the 17th century, and from here hundreds of families fled across the Atlantic to the new world. The Winthrops, of tiny Groton, would become founders of the State of Massachusetts. But most of the settlers were poor, working families, and they would devote themselves to quiet, prayerful unpersecuted lives, and work hard to build new communities. Of course, they would never see Suffolk or the valley of the gentle Brett again.
Did they miss it? If I had been brought up in this beautiful landscape, I would always remember it on a day like this, and yearn for it. I don't suppose that I would ever stop longing for it if I knew I could never see it again, and all across New England you find towns and villages with the names of East Anglian villages, including Lindsey, Kersey, Boxford and Groton.
In comparison with the touted glories of nearby Kersey, Monks Eleigh and Lavenham, this is a small, rustic church. There is no tower, and little chancel to speak of. But of all the mid-Suffolk cloth-village churches, this is the one that most retains a sense of continuity. You can imagine the late-medieval liturgical presence here as easily as you can imagine its current use for Anglican congregational worship. There is a taste of every century.
In winter, it is colder and damper inside than out. You step into an ancient space, furnished with lime-washed wood and cold stone. The white walls bow outwards, and large windows with their dropped sills intensify the sense of lightness and air. In summer, there is a sweet coolness about this building which intensifies its remoteness from the 21st century, and I log to go back on a hot day later this year. This is a church which retains a sense of mystical presence within its community, without the need for Victorian fripperies.
It lends itself to private prayer far more than its grander neighbours.It is almost all of a piece, 14th century Decorated. The unsafe tower was removed in the early 19th century, and the clear glass of the west window fills the church with light. This is a building to delight in on a sunny day, with the subtle interplay of spangling on wood and stone. The light wood of the rood screen dado is set off by the surviving red, green and gold of the painted panels. Beyond, the three-sided altar rails are almost ghost-like, the oak is so silvered.
There are remains of paintings and image niches around the walls, and there is an ancient font, from about 1300. The font stands against a pillar on the arcade of the south aisle, which is traditional, but this font must have stood alone at some point, since it has designs on all sides. And, in any case, it is older than the pillar.
There are some fascinating grafitti on this arcade, including a scratch-dial near the font, so this stone must once have been outside. There is what appears to be a 12th century bishop. If this particular scratching is contemporary, then it is older than the church, and both these stones must have been reused from an earlier building. And there is a rose, to reminds us of the pubs.
The great drop-window in the north aisle wall must have been off-set by an altar; Mortlock thinks to the guild of St Peter. He also detects fixings for a parclose screen (and hence a chantry chapel) in the south aisle. We have here an ordinary village church with much evidence of its former Catholic life, as at Uggeshall.
When I first wrote about St Peter, I said that this was a church that everyone should visit. It is quintessential rural Suffolk; timeless, without the Victorian triumphalism you so often find. I wanted to make sure that you didn't pass it by as you burn rubber between Kersey and Lavenham, and that, really, is the reason I've put it in my Top 30. I haven't changed my mind.
St Peter, Lindsey, lies off the B1115 Hadleigh to Bury road, about 2 miles from Kersey. The church is open during the day, or you can get the key from the bungalow on the other side of the triangle of grass.

University of Mary Washington sophomore Alex Anderson became the fourth individual NCAA national champion in UMW school history by breaking the NCAA Division III record in the 400-yard individual medley on March 21 at the National Swimming and Diving Championships in Shenandoah, Texas. Anderson finished with a time of 3:50.55. Seeded fourth in the event entering the championships with a time of 3:57, Anderson destroyed his career best by seven seconds in the final. He led the race from start to finish. He shattered the previous NCAA Division III record of 3:51.45, broken in 2009 by Alex Beyer of Washington University. "Alex represented all of the Eagles in the best way possible tonight," said UMW head coach Abby Brethauer. "We could not be more proud of his national championship.

In Egypt, military officers rise up in revolt, hinting at the first signs of a nationalist movement against British and French occupation. The government, too weak to retaliate, is forced to make concessions to the rebels.

For as long as I can remember, I've been told that achieving optimal body weight is a simple process. Anyone who can count calories can do it! Just get the numbers right and reaching a perfect weight becomes as easy as keeping track of "calories in, calories out." Simple enough, right?
Not necessarily. I've been a performance athlete and cycling coach for a long time now, and if I've learned anything it is that calorie counting is actually a very complicated business. Read the full story

A peep at the neighbors
Posted By Viva Sarah Press On May 14, 2012 @ 9:23 am In | No Comments
It's that time again, when neighbors are encouraged to peep inside one another's homes. The Houses From Within happening is set for May 17-19, 2012.
Designer lofts, urban villas, unique synagogues, architecturally significant public buildings, curious construction sites, plazas and gardens will all be open to the public this coming weekend to "allow visitors to discover Tel Aviv from within."
Houses From Within is one of the many "Open House" events to take place around the world.
The weekend activities also include an urban drawing workshop, a tour of the traffic control center, and a guided bike ride through the city center.

BOSTON — Boston. -- What it comes down to is the nature of forgiveness, redemption -- or maybe rehabilitation is a better word when we talk about crime and punishment. Do we really believe in clean slates? Are there some dues that are never fully paid?
For over a week now, the talk of this town has been a Cambridge high school senior named Gina Grant. On April 2, this 19-year-old appeared in the Boston Globe as a model of how resilient kids can be. She was an all-A student, the captain of the tennis team, a devoted tutor for disadvantaged kids.

Last week news hit that Hurley's Heroes, a comic shop in Joplin, MO, survived the tornado and was offering any and all help it could to the community. They still have electricity and running water as well as supplies of food, clothes and bottled water. They became real life heroes.
But their efforts aren't done yet. Countless children have been misplaced, having lost possessions, homes and in some cases, family. Hurley's Heroes is now asking for help from the comics community at large.
This is a call to publishers, distributors, stores, anyone who has all ages books they would like to donate. My name is Jason A. Hurley, my brother and I own a comic shop called Hurley's Heroes in Joplin, Missouri. This last weekend, Joplin was hit by a deadly tornado that wiped out a huge chunk of town. Several hundred, perhaps even thousands, of families were put out of their homes. Now, hundreds of children are stuck inside huge shelters, and no doubt bored out of their minds. We've taken a few books from the store to a shelter nearby, and they were greatly appreciated. I've been inspired, and I want to make this effort bigger.
I have plenty of people, mostly my loyal customers, willing to distribute these books far and wide to the various shelters around town. Now, I need books to distribute. If anyone out there has all ages comics that they would be willing to donate to this cause, you can just send them to me, and I'll get them out to the shelters.

So, there you have it. A simple request. Comics to for kids who need the temporary escape.

The year 1968 was one of the mst discouraging in modern US history. The Vietnam War dragged on. Despite major civil rights bills, many people feared the country was turning "increasingly seperate and unequal." The nation grieved over the assassinations of Martin Luther King JR. and Robert Kennedy. Riots filled the streets.
At the end of this dismal year a Saturn 5 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral on mankind's first attempt to reach the moon. On board were three Apollo 8 astronauts: Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders. Their mission was not to land on the moon, but to orbit it ten times. NASA told their wives that the men's chances of making it back to earth alive were about 50-50.
On Christmas Eve millions of enthralled TV viewers watched as the astonauts trasmitted a blurry but miraculous image of the lunar surface. Then they heard the voice of Bill Anders: (Listen here)
"We are now approaching lunar sunrise and, for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a messge that we would like to send to you. 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved uon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light, and there was light..."
The astronauts took turns reading the first ten verses of Genesis. Then Frank Borman said, "And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you-all of you on the good earth."
After a year of death and destruction, the astronaut's brave journey and healing gesture were like a balm in Gilead. Apollo 8 held the promise that a free people would not fail after all. Americans coming together could still achieve wonders.

Explain what is wrong, and be ready to describe where you are. If you can, give the suburb, street, building name, floor and room. You will also be asked for your name and phone number/extension.
Call Campus Security
f the emergency occurs on campus, please notify Campus Security after you have spoken to Emergency Services. Call +61 2 9351 3333.
Campus Security is the University's first-response unit, and will respond very quickly to on-campus emergencies of all types.
All Campus Security officers are trained in first aid, fire-fighting, evacuation techniques, situation assessment, scene preservation, and situation management for criminal activity.
In a medical emergency, Campus Security officers can provide help until an ambulance arrives. They hold current first-aid certificates, and their vehicles carry automatic electronic defibrillators.
If the emergency occurs inside a building
- Warn everyone in immediate danger.
- Activate a 'break glass' alarm if the building has one.
- Evacuate the building via the nearest safe exit, if the type of emergency warrants it.
- Follow the directions of the fire warden or Campus Security officer.

CCTV on campus
The University has a number of internal and open-space closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras operating on campus.
All cameras are overt and are plainly in sight. The University does not use covert security cameras or audio recording devices under any circumstances.
CCTV warning signs are in place around campus. The University complies with legislation including the Privacy and Personal Information Act 1998 (NSW) and the Workplace Surveillance Act 2005 (NSW).
Most images are kept for a minimum of 30 days and are then automatically deleted. Any requests to use or see CCTV images are evaluated in accordance with the University's Privacy Management Plan.
If you have any queries or concerns regarding the use, management or placement of CCTV systems at the University, please contact the manager, Campus Security by calling +61 2 9351 3789
Building access
Various security systems are in use within University buildings. The majority of the University's alarm and access control infrastructure is centrally monitored twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
The Campus Security unit manages these services on each of our campuses and provides students, staff and other authorised people with keys and magnetic cards to access University facilities.
Cards and keys are issued upon presentation of appropriate identification together with the properly authorised written request by an authorised signatory from the relevant faculty or administrative unit.
Keys and cards issued are not transferable, nor are they to be used to admit other students, staff or visitors, or to be loaned to others. At all times, responsibility for a key or card rests with the person to whom it is issued. The loss of keys or access cards should be reported immediately to the Campus Security unit on 9351 3487.
Students and staff not issued with keys or access cards and wanting to enter a building after hours for any purpose require written permission from the head of the faculty, school or department.
This authority must be lodged with the Security Office in advance. Photographic identification (usually a University ID card and driver's licence) will be required. Failure to notify Security may result in access being denied or delayed.
After-hours access
All buildings within the University are alarmed after hours.
Your access card should deactivate the alarm if you have general access to the area. If you are using a key, you should contact the Security unit on +61 9351 3487 before entering the property to confirm the alarm status.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa One allegation at the center of the upcoming trial to determine the outcome of the contested Springville mayoral election is that the library board president helped Springville senior resident Dayle McCleary cast his ballot.
"She did not," McCleary said on Thursday afternoon in a phone call to his Springville home.
Asked if his vote was somehow tainted by Library Board President Treva Davis, he said as adamantly, "No sir. It was not."
The polling place for the city of Springville on Nov. 5 was the Springville Memorial Library in an election where Mayor Rick Heeren was defeated by City Council member and challenger Roger Shebetka by five votes, 142 to 137.
A special three-member election panel now will conduct a trial on Dec. 26, and Heeren's designee to the panel, Lena Gilbert, said that the help that Davis allegedly provided McCleary could have made his vote illegal.
"We may have others," Gilbert said, noting that it wouldn't take many in a race decided by just five votes.
Heeren has contested the election, alleging improprieties, and on Thursday the three-member panel convened to prepare for a trial to address the allegations. Susan Cooper is Shebetka's designee to the panel and Cedar Rapids attorney Brian Fagan has been picked by the District Court to preside. The trial is slated to start at 9:30 a.m. Dec. 26 in the Linn County Public Service Center, 935 Second St. SW.
At Thursday's hearing, Heeren's designee, Gilbert, spelled out the case for throwing out the Nov. 5 result, a case that she said centered around Library Board President Davis, a Shebetka supporter, and what Gilbert said was the inordinate amount of time that Davis spent in the library during the day of the election using "tactics" to try to "persuade," "counsel," "intimidate" and "taint the result."
People are not permitted to "electioneer" on behalf of a candidate in a polling place, and Fagan asked Joel Miller, the Linn County Auditor and commissioner of elections, to provide a definition of electioneering at the Dec. 26 trial.
Gilbert alleged that Davis as library board president has said she spent time at the library other than to vote on Election Day to, for instance, help repair a library toilet.
Gilbert has asked that two members of the library staff, one of Davis' colleagues on the library board and the library's maintenance man testify at the Dec. 26 trial about the toilet to see if it was Davis' role as a citizen board member to perform such tasks.
"Was there ever a broken toilet?" Gilbert said she wanted to know. "... To my knowledge, she (Davis) is not a plumber."
Gilbert said as big a problem on Nov. 5 was that Linn County's three election workers failed to do their job by not confronting Davis and telling her to leave or by not calling Auditor Miller and insisting that he come to the Springville polling place to order Davis out.
Gilbert alleged that Janice Johnston, chairwoman of the county auditor's three-member election staff at the Springville precinct, should have called Miller to ask that Davis leave the polling place. A second poll worker, Beverly Franks, raised questions with Miller's office about the Nov. 5 vote and Davis' activities on Friday, Nov. 8, Miller said.
After Thursday's organizational meeting by the election panel, Mayor Heeren called the session "a learning experience."
"I believe we have reason to believe that there was electioneering going on, which is illegal," Heeren said. "Whether I win or I lose is not the object, the object is a fair election. That's all I'm really looking for is that everything was fair and above board."
Shebetka said he expected to be mayor after witnesses testify at the panel's trial.
Of the allegation against the library board president, Shebetka said, "She's board president for the Springville library, and she's in and out of the library all day long. I mean that's her job being board president.
"It (Election Day) was an especially busy day at the library. They needed paper towels or toilet tissue, the library workers has their work to, so she (Davis) was probably filling in trying to help out."
He said she was a hands-on library board president.

Video: Fiat 500 commercial expanded into 'Sexy People' music video
Filed under: Convertible, Marketing/Advertising, Videos, Hatchback, Celebrities, Fiat
The last time we wrote about the Fiat USA commercial Immigrants, it was to question whether the ad provided our first glimpse of the 500T. That was a year ago, but Fiat isn't finished utilizing that commercial theme. The song in the one-minute commercial was Sexy People (All Around the World) by Italian songstress Arianna, and the Immigrant commercial has been lengthened and turned into a music video for the song as Arianna prepares that track and more for her first studio album.
The tune features Pit Bull and the clip is like a hip-hop video meets The Little Mermaid. Well, until Charlie Sheen shows up. That's when it starts Winning, and you can enjoy it all in the video below, along with the original ad from Fiat.

Facebook for iPhone iOS 4 hits iTunes App Store
Installed the update on my 3GS about half an hour ago... No problems so far, saved-state/fast app switching is nice. Profiles and feeds seem to load faster, graphics and animations seem smoother.
@Dan I've been having issues with my 3G network all day. Is starting to piss me off.
Works pretty well for me.
Loving the fast app switching. Saves me maybe a half second each time even on iPhone 4 and it really adds up.
@???nm: Alex's point was that there is NO iPad version yet, just the iPhone version scaled up. People want a native iPad version.
Can you collect farmvilel friends giveaways like 3.1.2?
I sometimes have issues with the chat I just stop using it and linked my FB to AIM. Works so much better plus u get push notifications.
@Chiapet can I ask where your at, the network is really slow for like 3days . I'm staRting to think it's my iPhone 4
@Staythirsty Yes Im having the dsame problem getting the farmville links/giveaways to open!!
@David - it's a feature available on 3GS & iPhone 4 models as part of iOS4. By double tapping the home button, you bring up the task switcher and can move quickly between apps.
I used to have the same problem too. It would take FOREVER to post a comment, like a status or even upload a picture. Actually, the app would crash most of the time before it completed the task. The last release fixed the crashing. I uninstalled, rebooted and re-installed straight from the app store on the phone. Now with this update everything is running smoothly!
No solid evidence but last crash log did not list Facebook (version 3.1.4)as one of the running apps. I have had problems with iphone 3gs w 1Os4 rebooting during longer phone calls. Have restored phone as "New" phone on Apple's advice but rebooting reappeared with selection of 4 (iOS4 tested) apps. Systematically tested and think facebook is the culprit.. any thoughts or advice please?
Just started getting Facebook crashing on open tonight on my iPhone 4. Reinstall did not fix. App is currently broken for me.
Me too. D:
I think this has happened before and it's been fixed a few hours later. There's always facebook.com thru Safari for the addicts, but it's not the same!
I have an Ipod touch with the new OS4 and I am running into the same issue. It was working fine earlier today but now upon opening up the Facebook app, it opens for a few seconds then closes. I turned off the Ipod for about 5 minutes then turned it back on and got the same results. I even re added the app, same thing. I can browse to FB and access it just fine. I'm wondering if the app needs to be updated?
nice , thx :))
thanks for nice post. keep going...

The Inverness company, which already employs 130 people and has a turnover of around £30 million, said the move will create 10 jobs with the possibility of more in the future.
Chairman Doug McGilvray hopes the facility, the first of its kind in Scotland, can be open by spring. He said: "Like many other crane operators, our skilled workforce has an ageing profile. The nearest crane schools are in England so we've pursued the idea of establishing our own and we're ready to go.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Is it physical or mental.... And explain why..
please answer below- don't be scared to tell us the truth
Most Helpful Opinion
The one thing I would change about myself is probably how I felt about myself in the past... I wish I could go back and get the confidence in myself that I have now... like specifically through out middle school and highschool... why? I think that I would of had a lot more fun in school and I wouldn't of had the "i hate the world attitude" I wouldn't have been so shy so distant... I think I wouldn't have gone through the depression I did if I discovered things then that I did when I got out of school... .but honestly I don't think I would be who I am now... if I would have known that then... I am a much stronger person... so maybe I wouldn't change a thing.
What Girls Said 15
I'd give myself a better memory. Mine is terrible. I'm decently smart and can grasp things quickly, but I wish I didn't have to re-grasp them quite as often as I do. That and it'd be nice if I could occasionally know someone's name when they call me by mine. My office just got a lot bigger (merger) and all these new people had my name down in like a day. It's been over a month and I think I've got like 5% of their names down. Ugh.
I would be more confident too.
I honestly like the way I look, but it's like as soon as I'm out in public, my opinion of myself just drops. It makes me hold back and feel like I'm not good enough, and I've missed so many opportunities because of that.
I want the confidence to go after what I want, to have something and feel like I deserve it.
The reason your confidents drops is because you start looking at other people and see what they have that you don't you need to think more along the lines of what you have and they don't.... I am not saying judge everybody else or put them down to make yourself feel better.... but I hope you see what I mean.
Start looking at what you DO have instead of what you don't have... that way, ur gonna be more confident- because if you look at everyone else, and compare- ur always gonna come up short... everyone has something the other guy/girl doesn't.... you might be more flexible than me, whereas I may be stronger, and so on....
I wish I could change my shyness. And I will because there are things I wanna do and I'm not gonna wait anymore. I think people need to stop saying what they wish they could do, and just take risks and do it. We all have things that we wanna change, but we should still love ourselves and realize that its a personal or life-style change. I'm not wishing anymore, I'm making things happen. I'm changing the way I think,eat,and feel. Its an amazing feeling, I'm so glad I'm making these changes.
i'm kinda tired of being a DD.. go down a size or two
a D or a CC would be better
ARE...YOU...CRAZY???!!!! LOL j/k
- Show Older Hide Older
Lol thanx XD
I don't think I cud pick just one thing tbh... haha
Id like to be slimmer... that would be the main one I suppose!
but then I cud also say shorter so I can wear high heels, smarter just to make sure I actually graduate from uni and less jealous so I can trust boys more! x
So ur around 6 feet tall or something?
- Show Older Hide Older
Fwiw, my wife is 6'0" and I love that about her.
Thats worth the climb, huh lefty...
I'd change... the fact that I'm very jealous. :/
That's a great one... definently... ur future bf's will thank you...
Yeah :P thing is, I've never had a boyfriend, so I don't know if I am jealous in a relationship.
I only know that when girls flirt with him... it really annoys me, too much sometimes.
I let people walk all over me. It is almost impossible to say to people so if someone asks for something I am always willing to give. This is bad in relationship because my exes think they can treat me like crap and I will let them. My ex actually told me at the beginning of our relationship he thought if he cheated on my that I would take him back, then 6 months ago he did just that and then dumped me for the girl and when that didn't work he came back to me for sex. I have been letting him do this because I have so much difficulty to say no to him. Worst thing is, whenever I try to stand my ground and kick him to the curb he doesn't take me seriously.
For ur sake, ya gotta start bn more assertive!!!!
I'd love to just have confidence. To be able to be myself all the time and not hold back. I'm sure my life would be so much better and more exciting if only I could more easily express myself
And regarding my physical appearance, I'd love to have bigger breasts- I'm only an A cup and it really holds me back and makes me really insecure when it comes to guys.
Bigger boobs are good, but they ain't everything... you can exercise to make 'em bigger
What Guys Said 5
i would change my body, get rid of my fat and replace with muscle.
How big ru then?
- Show Older Hide Older
That's big... I'm not as big as you (6' 2400, but I know watya mean- I was over 300 lbs once... that's no fun. In my view, ifya got down to around 225-250 range, you'd be a chick magnet
LOL yea that's what I'm hoping to =D
I would be more confident. For most of my life I've felt held back by my shyness and it's kept me from doing things that I might have enjoyed. If I were confidant I wouldn't need to worry about my physical appearance. I would be going out more which would help me lose weight and for things like acne I doubt I would care as much.
You answer ur own question, now it's up to you to get that done... I been thar, it ain't fun... Here's hoping you get that done...
I've been trying to think better of myself but after so many years of negative thoughts it isn't easy. Breaking up feelings of worthlessness takes time.
It does- I been there, it can be done
Have an opinion?

Jefferson County zoning board OKs body farm
Carson-Newman College to start cadaver program
DANDRIDGE — One vote made the difference Tuesday night when zoning officials gave the go-ahead to Carson-Newman College's proposed body farm.
The Jefferson County Board of Zoning Appeals voted 3-2 to allow the private college's cadaver research program on 7 acres of agricultural land in New Market, despite protests from neighbors.
Art Bohanan, a retired Knoxville Police Department fingerprint specialist who's donating the site, said his neighbors have nothing to worry about.
"We're pleased with this, and we'll live by the laws," he said.
Opponents said they'll challenge the decision in court.
"You wouldn't want to live next door to this," one angry man told board member Condon Batson, who sponsored the motion to approve the body farm.
"I live near a cemetery," Batson said.
"It's not the same," insisted the man, who didn't give his name.
The county has no regulations on cadaver research, but board members said they'll ask local planners to draw up rules. Bohanan and college officials said they'll abide by any restrictions but expect their own guidelines will be more stringent.
"We're ethical people," said B.J. Ellington, a professor of nursing who'll help supervise the program. "There will be nothing toxic. There will be no infectious diseases. The property will be under 24-hour surveillance with three kinds of barriers in place."
Residents accused the board of
setting a dangerous precedent.
"It's a Pandora's box," said Evelyn Blackman, a neighbor. "This means anybody can come in tomorrow and start their own body farm with no restrictions, and they'll be grandfathered in."
The program would study the environmental effects of decaying corpses, human and animal, on the surrounding air, water and soil.
College officials said they'll use no dangerous chemicals and will simulate the presence of toxins by using synthetic dyes.
The board initially questioned whether county zoning laws, which don't account for a body farm, allowed such a program on Bohanan's land, which is zoned for agricultural use.
Terry Reneau, the board's chairman, said he hesitated to approve such a request without any regulations in place.
Batson said he trusts Bohanan and the college to do the right thing. He and board member Rob Wilson voted to approve the body farm. Reneau and board member Wayne Schrader voted against it.
Board member Sue Springfield first abstained, then argued with Batson over whether she had the right to recuse herself. The county attorney told her she could abstain. She then voted to approve the body farm.
"I didn't feel pressured," she said afterward. "I could have abstained, but it would have come back up again."
College officials said they hope to begin classes with graduate students this summer. County officials said regulations could be in place by then.
Arthur Seymour, attorney for neighbor Doris Ligon, said the next step for opponents would be a lawsuit in Chancery Court.
"We will look at the appropriate legal remedies, which are many," he said.

Full text not available from this repository.
The search for motor primitives has captured the attention of researches in both biological and computational motor control. Yet a theory of how to construct such primitives from first principles is lacking. Here we propose to do that by building a compact forward model of the sensory-motor periphery via unsupervised learning. We also propose a method for probabilistic inversion of the forward model, which yields low-level feedback loops that can simplify control. The idea is applied to simulated biomechanical systems of varying levels of detail.

Digital journalists are optimistic about the future of their industry, more so than those working for more traditional media outlets, according to a new survey of select members of the Online News Association produced by the Project for Excellence in Journalism.
Full release:
in revenue, technology
"I think there's a huge potential in online journalism, but there's also a lot of scary stuff out there …," said one respondent. "We have to try to not lose our way."
This optimism also applies to the economics of the online news business. More than 60% say their online units currently are making a profit, and four in 10 respondents are"very confident" that online news can find a profitable model.
For now, these economic hopes are largely pinned on Internet advertising, which began flattening out in 2008, and has further declined. Roughly two-thirds of journalists surveyed predict advertising will be the most important form of revenue at Web sites in three years. Only a quarter of respondents named an alternative model."This survey is just a snapshot of our 1,800 members," said ONA Executive Director Jane McDonnell. "With all of the doom and gloom surrounding legacy media, we wanted to separate out what journalists working in the digital arena really are experiencing and thinking — and they appear confident there will be shake-out for the better."
The respondents were less likely to think journalism is headed in the "wrong direction" than journalists from legacy media. Fully 91% praised some aspect of available technology, 30% saw value in the diversity of voices and half believe the move toward more overtly ideological points of view at news sites "is a good thing."
More than half, however, believe the internet is changing the fundamental values of journalism— more often than not for the worse. Among the biggest changes cited are a loosening of standards (45%), more outside voices reducing the clout of journalists (31%) and an increased emphasis on speed (25%).
These are some of the findings of a survey of nearly 300 members of ONA, produced jointly with the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, which drafted the questionnaire. The survey was administered by Princeton Survey Research Associates. The survey is a special report included in the Project's annual report on the health and status of the news industry, the State of the News Media 2009.
Among other findings:
- When asked what online journalism is "doing especially well these days," many named aspects of technology such as using advancements to create rich, engaging media (31%) and reaching out quickly to audiences, as well as giving readers a voice (30%). Lower on the list were new forms of storytelling (16%) or exploiting the potential for greater depth or analysis (12%).
- The vast majority of the respondents (77%) work in for-profit models. And a majority, 61%, say their sites are currently turning a profit. Notable here is the fact that two-thirds of those in for-profit models (67%) say their sites are subsidized by their legacy media outlets. Less than a third (29%) are either an online-only entity or separate from the legacy outlet.
- Six in 10 (63%) respondents ranked original reporting as the most important type of information they produce. This was more than four times as much as the second choice, aggregated material from wires and other legacy outlets (13%).
- Three-quarters of the surveyed ONA members said their sites' home pages are "essential to getting their content to users." This is nearly three times the number that named e-mail alerts (26%) and RSS (26%). Just 9% considered posting to social media sites essential and postings on YouTube were named essential by 4%.

The Online News Association is the world's largest association of online journalists. ONA's mission is to inspire innovation and excellence among journalists to better serve the public. The membership includes news writers, producers, designers, editors, bloggers, technologists, photographers and others who produce news for the Internet or other digital delivery systems, as well as academic members and others interested in the development of online journalism. ONA also administers the Online Journalism Awards.
The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism specializes in using empirical methods to evaluate and study the performance of the press, particularly content analysis. PEJ, a non partisan, non ideological and non political organization, is part of the Pew Research Center in Washington D.C., and funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts.

Dia's Gluten Free & Vegan Yeast DoughnutsPosted by ♦***Admin--Dia***♦ on March 11th, 2012. Filed under: Casein Free, Dairy Free and Vegan, Vegetarian, What's New, Wheat and Gluten Free.
Oh boy oh boy…what a day I have had making these doughnuts and filming every single part of the process in between. Phew! I'm wiped out, but you know what? After I bit into one of these delicious little doughnuts it all became worth it. I'm not gonna lie though, this is a long process, and that is mainly because this is a recipe for yeast doughnuts not cake doughnuts. No need for one of those popular "donut baking pans" because these are getting fried!
I fiddled around with this recipe as you have to when trying to create any gluten free and vegan dough. It took me a few tries to tweak it to where the dough makes a great consistency.
Recipe: Dia's Gluten Free & Vegan Yeast Doughnuts
© Cooking With Dia 2012 www.cookingwithdia.com
1 1/2 cups of Rice flour (I used a mixture of brown and white rice flour)
1/2 cup of Oat flour (Remember to check the packaging on the oats you buy because even though oats are naturally gluten free they sometimes get processed alongside gluten products.)
1/4 cup of Maize flour (Again check the packaging for the same reason above. Maize is naturally gluten free as well, but look for a brand where the packaging says gluten free.)
1/4 cup of Tapioca flour
1/4 cup of unrefined granulated sugar
1/2 cup of peanut milk
1/4 cup of water
4 tablespoons of vegetable suet
2 1/2 teaspoons of rapid rise yeast
For the faux eggs
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon of baking powder
whisked together
Sunflower oil for the frying
Cinnamon & Sugar
1/2 cup of unrefined granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
1 bar of cooking dark chocolate
1 splash of peanut milk
In your main mixing bowl combine all of the flours, suet and yeast.
In a second bowl pour in the cider vinegar and baking powder and whisk together.
Warm the peanut milk to 110 degrees F (45 degrees C) maximum and then pour into the second bowl.
Warm the water to the same temperature and add to the second bowl.
Pour the sugar into the second bowl.
Mix everything in the second bowl and then pour out everything into the main mixing bowl.
With your mixer put on the dough hook and keep at a very low speed for about 5 minutes.
The dough should have formed into a ball.
Take dough and set aside on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle some rice flour over your rolling surface and roll out the dough until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
Take your doughnut cutter and cut out 12 doughnuts.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on the baking sheet.
Put doughnuts on top of parchment paper and cover with a light towel.
You will need to find a warm spot (draft free) for these doughnuts to rise. You can either put them in a turned off oven on the top rack while filling a pan full of boiling water on the bottom. Or you can preheat the oven to 80 degrees then turn off and stick the doughnuts in there to rise. Or you can put them in an airing cupboard (something we have in the UK).
Whichever place you use you will need to keep the doughnuts in there for about 2 hours or until they have risen to double the size. This is a key part of the process. The doughnuts will not rise properly if they are in the wrong environment. I know it is a hassle, especially if you live in small living quarters, but I hope you can find the right spot for the rising process.
Now comes the frying portion. Please I can not stress this enough, be careful! I have burnt my fingers making doughnuts, so please do not fry while you are tired.
Heat approx. 2 inches high of sunflower oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a pan.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the doughnuts in and out of the oil.
Have a paper towel area already set up before you start frying so that the doughnuts have a place to rest and also to get rid of the excess oil.
If you haven't done this before do it one by one, not all 12 doughnuts at once, otherwise you will most likely have some kind of an accident. I know I sound a bit like a mother hen right now, but that is only because I don't want you to burn yourself.
So…one by one place the doughnuts carefully on the slotted spoon.
Move the spoon over to the oil and drop the doughnut in gently.
Wait about 15 seconds before flipping the doughnut over with the slotted spoon (I know you knew that, but just reiterating in case)…gently!
Once the doughnut looks golden brown remove immediately from the oil and place on the paper towels.
When on the paper towels flip doughnut onto the other side after about 30 seconds that way both sides get a chance to get rid of that excess oil.
OK, Phew…we have gotten past the frying stage. You should now have 12 delicious smelling golden brown doughnuts.
While they are warm you are going to want to put on their toppings.
I did 6 cinnamon & sugar doughnuts and 6 with a chocolate covering, but you can experiment with different ingredients once you are used to it.
To make the cinnamon & sugar topping mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl until you can see that the sugar looks a bit brown. Make sure to get all that cinnamon up from the bottom of the bowl mixed in with the sugar.
To make the chocolate topping all you need to do is break the bar of chocolate into a bowl and heat on a low setting in your microwave oven for 5 minutes.
Add a splash of peanut milk to the chocolate and whisk until it looks chocolate again.
Now with your warm doughnuts dip each one into the topping of your choice.
Place doughnuts on top of a cooling rack that is on top of a piece of parchment paper to avoid any messy spills.
You can eat the cinnamon & sugar doughnuts straight away, but wait a little bit for the chocolate to set on the other ones.
© Cooking With Dia 2012 www.cookingwithdia.com
I hope that you really enjoy these doughnuts, as I have. I know if you have made them the long yeast way you might get annoyed half way through. But if you make a day of it by resigning yourself to only making doughnuts, you should have fun.
Just look how lovely and fluffy they are once you take a bite!

Just got back from Bosnia and Herzegovina (more on that next week), and am now off for a week to Skokholm, an island off the Welsh Coast, where there is nothing to do but look at puffins. Sounds perfect. I may even finish Piketty…….

Skokholm sounds a lot like my home town Stockholm. It has to be a name of Viking origin. Sure seems like a perfect spot to get away from it all.
