Biographical Sketch
Denise Schmandt-Besserat is a professor emerita of Art and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Schmandt-Besserat studies the art and archaeology of the ancient Near East. Her research has focused on the origin of writing and counting, and her published works include: Before Writing (1992), How Writing Came About (1996), The History of Counting (1999), and When Writing Met Art (2007). Dr. Schmandt-Besserat trained at the Ecole du Louvre in Paris, France. She received an honorary doctorate from Kenyon College in 2008.
Dr. Schmandt-Bessert began her academic career at Harvard's Peabody Museum in 1965. Schmandt-Besserat received a Radcliffe fellowship in 1969, and her first grant to travel the Middle East in 1971. Schmandt-Besserat intended to study clay pottery from the Near East created before 6000 BC (Neolithic Era). On this trip, Schmandt-Besserat first encountered the tokens, which had largely been ignored by the archaeological community. The discovery of tokens inside a sealed clay envelope from circa 3000 BC by one of Schmandt-Besserat's professors from the Ecole du Louvre, led her to develop the theory that the tokens were part of a recording system that dated back to the Neolithic Era. According to Schmandt-Besserat, this recording system spanned several thousand years and across the Near East before rapidly evolving into complex tokens contained in sealed envelopes in circa 3500 BC, and eventuallty into writing. Put forward in How Writing Came About, Schmandt-Besserat's hypothesis pushed back our understanding of the development of writing by 5000. Her efforts resulted in How Writing Came About being named one of the hundred most influential science texts of the twentieth century by the American Scientist. Schmandt-Besserat has written a number of articles and delivered several presentations concerning her study of statuary, figurines, art, and tokens at the Ain Ghazal excavation site in Jordan as well.
Scope and Content
Research materials, manuscript drafts, page proofs, and editorial materials document the creation of Denise Schmandt-Besserat's published works, including Before Writing (1992), How Writing Came About (1996), and scholarly articles. Also included in the collection are subject files, correspondence, reviews and press clippings, publications, teaching materials, and research materials that document Dr. Schmandt-Besserat's scholarly activities, research, teaching, lectures, and travel. Of particular importance are hundreds of pages of computer printouts from five, nine and one half inch mainframe tapes containing the data pertaining to tokens and envelopes that is central to Schmandt-Besserat's landmark work, Before Writing. The data from these printouts were the result of student assistants crafting FORTRAN statements derived from a coding scheme developed and refined by Schmandt-Besserat. FORTRAN statements were keyed into a CDC 6600 mainframe computer housed at the UT Computation Center. The data was processed using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The results were printed out and the five mainframe tapes were housed at the climate-controlled UT Computation Center till 1991 when they were transferred to Schmandt-Besserat's custody. Schmandt-Besserat stored the mainframe tapes in a shop with no climate control before they were transferred to the Briscoe Center for American History in July 1992.
Documents, databases and data files associated with the research and publication of Before Writing. Also included in the collection are teaching materials (syllabi, schedules, quizzes and assignments), correspondence, reviews and press clippings, publications, and research materials that document Dr. Schmandt-Besserat's scholarly activities, research, teaching, lectures, and travel.
A collection of seventy-six, three and one half inch floppy diskettes contain more than five hundred digital files. The diskettes contain drafts of Before Writing, articles, presentations, lectures, course materials, personal materials, spreadsheets, and materials pertaining to Schmandt-Besserat's work at the Ain Ghazal excavation site in Jordan. The bulk of the files are created in Microsoft Word .doc format. Other file extensions, include DAT, BAK, DBF, DBH, EXE, and xls, The files were created and/or modified between 1983 and 2000.

Dell to launch a smartphone next month
The Dell-to-launch-a-smartphone rumour has been a persistent one, with analysts already predicting a February debut, but it's got a new lease of life this week following a report in the Wall Street Journal.
The paper says that the PC maker is plotting a launch for next month, although curiously also states that the plans are not finalised and may be abandoned, without elaborating as to why.
With prototypes said to have been floating around Dell headquarters for a year, the rumoured smartphones are said to be both Windows Mobile and Android offerings.
One model is said to feature a touchscreen, "not unlike the iPhone's", sources "familiar with the matter" are said to report.
If true, next month will be a busy one for the phone market with the Mobile World Congress event heralding the launch of Acer's now-confirmed smartphone offering, as well as launches from other major manufacturers.

Adobe Illustrator has long been a popular vector–based drawing program, but for many the learning curve is steep. In Illustrator CS4 One-on-One: Fundamentals, author and leading industry expert Deke McClelland shows users how to get in to the Illustrator mindset and overcome this learning curve. He covers the application's key features in a new way, making it simple and easy to master Illustrator. Deke teaches viewers how to use the core drawing and shape tools, the transformation and reshaping features, text, and the Pen tool. He also explains how to export and print. Even if learning Illustrator has been a struggle in the past, this training can help make sense of it. Exercise files accompany the course.
In this exercise we are going to draw a couple of partial arcs to represent this little line, this little doohickey here under Horus's eye and then we will cut off the extra bits and then in the next exercise, we will join them together. All right, so I'm working in this document right here. If you are of a mind to open my progress so far, the name of my progress document is Arc & spiral.ai and it's found inside the 04_line_art folder. I'm going to switch over here to the Arc tool and I'm going to draw an arc thusly and it happens to be going in right direction. If it isn't for you, of course you would press the F key to switch it.
But this is looking good for me and I'm using the Spacebar to get it aligned properly and I'm just trying to make sure I'm cutting that path which appears red, that it's cutting right through the center of my template item there so that I'm matching the angle of that line. As soon as I release, it should look good. Then I'm going to draw another one this direction but, of course, it needs to be flipped so I press the F key in order to accomplish that. I'll move this guy upward and again I'm just eyeballing it folks. When I say I'm moving in upward, I'm using the Spacebar to accomplish that. So that's Spacebar trick, I tell you. I use it incessantly, always. I don't think I draw a single shape that I don't use the Spacebar at some point for positioning purposes, so that I can position or reposition the object on the fly.
Okay, so that looks pretty good. So it's a fairly shallow arc as you can see. I'm not doing anything with the arrow keys; I'm keeping it just a gentle elliptical arc. All right, so I have got these two guys crossing each other. Let's go ahead and zoom in here so that I can better see what I'm doing, because I really want to see how the paths of these two lines cut across each other. Like I could go and get the Selection tool, the Black Arrow tool, and I could Shift-click in the center of this arc so that I could see that they come together right there. That's where I want to cut them.
So I don't want the rest of the strokes sort of confusing me and making me think the path is elsewhere. So the easiest way to make sure you're seeing the paths correctly is to go up to the View menu and get rid of the falderal by choosing the Outline Mode and pressing Ctrl+Y. That way you are just seeing the paths and you can see that my paths don't line up perfectly with the template paths, but you know what, so what? What I'm really concerned about is that they line up perfectly with each other. So let's just go ahead and turn off the template for a moment. Or here's another thing you can do. This is a wicked cool technique. I'm going to press Ctrl+Y or Command+Y to reenter the Preview Mode.
You know how we've got these eyeballs, right? If I click on an eyeball, that layer disappears. If I click again, it comes back. If you press the Ctrl key, see that tip right there, if you press the Ctrl key and click or the Command key and click on the eyeball, you get a little Orphan Annie eyeball. For those of you who don't know what the heck I'm talking about, that means the pupil goes away because little Orphan Annie did not have pupils, not the Broadway version, of course, I'm talking about the comic strip version. Now we're seeing just this layer in the Outline Mode and this layer in the Preview Mode. So you can actually juxtaposition different layers, and once again that's a Ctrl-click or a Command- click on the Mac. That will toggle you in and out of this Preview Mode. So it won't turn the layer off, it will toggle the preview.
All right, so now we can see that these guys meet right at this position. I want to insert a cut at this location, so we're busting these guys apart and I'm going to accomplish that using a very old school tool. Right here, it's available with the Eraser tool. It's this Scissors tool, which you can get by pressing the C key if you want to because it allows you to cut. I am going to get the Scissors tool and I'm going to click right there and notice who I cut apart. I cut apart this line. So this one is selected down here and this one is deselected, but it's the one that just got cut. I think, okay, that's great. Now, let's say I want to cut this guy, right? So I'm going to click again, but it's not going for it this time.
It's saying hey, you've got to use the Scissors tool on a segment or an anchor point, but not an end point of a path, meaning, it's yelling at us because right there that's now an end point for this forward line. This is the front line and it sees this area as an end point, not the middle of this segment and so it's saying, I can't cut an end point dude, it's the end after all, an end point being the last point or the first point in the path. And I say OK, because there is really nothing else I can do. I could say Don't show again. This is one of those classic dialog boxes that we will run into a few times in Illustrator and by classic I mean exceedingly annoying.
So I'll say OK, that's my only option. What do I do, how do I solve this problem? Well, what you do is you twirl open this layer and you check it out. There's that path right there, right? There is the one that got cut; it's the one that's selected. This, if I meatball it, that's this guy, okay, fine. So who is this? If I meatball it, it's this one right here and how do I know? How am I so sure that it's got to be one of these three paths? Because they're the last ones I drew, the most recent paths are on top, by default. They are on top of the stack inside the layer.
So watch, all I got to do is take this guy, dram him up to the top above the other one and then click again. Now it works. Now I have cut that path into two pieces. Now I'll go back to the Black Arrow tool, this guy is selected, just click on it again to make sure it's totally selected. Shift-click on this guy, press the Backspace or the Delete key and they are gone. Now you have these two partial ellipses that are going to be married together. But let's go ahead and check out what they look like now. I'm going to go ahead and twirl close the layer and I'm going to Ctrl-click or Command-click on the little Orphan Annie eyeball right there and you can see that they aren't really totally joined at this point. They are not completely joined together the way that they actually need to be.
It becomes even more obvious if we were to change this stroke to something different, like if I were to grab this guy and I were to give him a thicker stroke. You could see that things aren't jibing at all anymore. So what we really want to do is we really want to join this guy into a single path outline. So this segment and this segment are part of the same path. I'm going to undo that big stroke. And we are going to accomplish that beat in the very next exercise.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I think I cook better at our cottage. I'm not sure if it's the supreme relaxation, the sound of waves coasting onto our beach or the two ice cold beers I have by 3pm. Whatever it is, it works. I'm probably exaggerating here a bit as this dessert recipe wasn't too hard. (Thank you Whole Foods App!) Actually, it was painfully easy. It also didn't require cooking. However, it was the most refreshing treat I've ever had on a hot, hot, hot day.
Light, cool and super delicious. What else could you ask for? Well, an oreo cookie blizzard also does the trick but whose going to split hairs over this.
It was a 90 degree day by Noon and we were having guests for dinner. I needed something easy and refreshing because I didn't want to spend a second longer than I had to in the kitchen on such a gorgeous day. Besides, turning the oven on seemed beyond silly. It was a nice project to get Scarlett out of the mid-day sun and she was able to handle the whole process. I just cut the strawberries for her.
Fresh Strawberry and Raspberry Granita
1 cup orange juice
3/4 cup water
6 tablespoons of agave nectar (or more to taste)
1/4 a cup sugar
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 pound of strawberries, hulled and quartered
3/4 pound fresh raspberries
In a blender (we didn't have one at the cottage and ended up using a hand mixer.…it worked), combine orange juice, water, agave nectar, sugar, zest and half of the strawberries and raspberries. Puree until nearly smooth. Add the rest of the berries and blend until smooth.
Taste and add more agave if necessary.
Pour mixture into a 9– x 13-inch nonstick metal baking pan and freeze for about one hour. Remove from freezer and use a fork to scrape icy, frozen edges into the soft center. Repeat two times.
When completely frozen, scrape down granita to form icy shavings. Daddy and Scarlett worked on this part of the project. I think they ate more than they scraped. Add into glass bowls and serve or place back into freezer. Allow a few minutes to thaw before serving.

Ron Johnson is an Oshkosh businessman and junior Republican United States Senator from Wisconsin, after defeating incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold in the 2010 election. He was endorsed by the Tea Party and the Senate Conservatives Fund.
Ron Johnson, who had never before held public office or even visited D.C., won by a remarkable margin of 51.9% to 47%.[1] However, his credentials are subject to question since he made statements wrongfully condemning Todd Akin. This statement earned him a place with the RINO Backers.
A recent comment by him indicates that he has become another pawn of powerful homosexual activist groups.[2]

Overall Experience
Great staff, room, and rate
June 30, 2015
I chose this particular IHG property because it participated in the PointsBreak program. I would choose it again because of the staff and the overall condition of the hotel.
Each member of the staff I had occasion to visit with was so friendly and helpful.
My suite was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. I especially appreciated the perfectly-functioning air-conditioning system!!
Nice Visit

Although it's not quite "all-new"—even by the standard of the U.S. auto industry—the 2014 Kia Sorento will arrive in dealerships early this year with a nicely refreshed design and some significant feature upgrades, including the next generation of the brand's UVO telematics system. And that feature, in turn, is upgraded as well, and now will integrate Google Maps and Google Places into its wide range of functionalities.
Of course, combining the power of Google with UVO's natural voice recognition capabilities does more than just allow drivers to gain hands-free access to accurate driving directions and point-of-interest information while they're in their vehicles. Owners of the 2014 Kia Sorento also will be able to use the UVO smartphone app to gather all that data remotely, then stream it to the Sorento using Send2Car technology.
"The newest iteration of the UVO platform is a breakthrough as one of the industry's first mobile pure app-based telematics systems, and now with the Google solutions and APIs, we take the platform to yet another level of enhancement for the Kia customer," said Henry Bzeih, head of the connected car program and chief technology strategist for Kia Motor America. "Due to the popularity and ease-of-use of Google Maps, owners can remain confident in the technology and information being delivered to them."
After debuting in the 2014 Kia Sorento, the automaker's enhanced UVO system will migrate throughout the Kia family, with the all-new 2014 Kia Forte due to receive the technology next. (Naturally, Kia's corporate sibling, Hyundai, also will implement the new Google features in its Blue Link-branded telematics system.)
2014 Kia Sorento: Let's Talk Telematics
When added to the 2014 Kia Sorento, the company's next-gen UVO system provides two basic types of functionality. First off, it lets folks use natural voice commands to manage music resources, navigation features and hands-free calling via a paired cellphone, assisted by an eight-inch touchscreen (that also offers a rearview camera). Then, in addition, owners can leverage the latest suite of UVO eServices, which includes:
- 911 Connect—Capable of automatically connecting with 911 if the 2014 Kia Sorento's airbags deploy, this feature allows for communication between vehicle occupants and 911 operators, while also automatically providing the vehicle's location.
- Car Care Web—Available via mobile device or home computer, the Car Care Web portal provides information about vehicle diagnostics, maintenance schedules and driving behavior, and also can be used to schedule dealership appointments.
- Parking Minder—This app can help guide drivers back to the 2014 Kia Sorento, using maps and owner-taken photos of the vehicle's surroundings, if they can't remember where they've parked it.
- Vehicle Diagnostics—This feature can automatically identify many common vehicle issues and alert the driver, as well as Kia's 24/7 customer call center, and also facilitate a dealership appointment.
And remember, all this is on top of the new Google functionality, as well as an automated eServices Guide that explains the UVO setup and its features to provide a helping hand to users.

40 CFR 63.11494 - What are the applicability requirements and compliance dates?
prev | next
(a) Except as specified in paragraph (c) of this section, you are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a chemical manufacturing process unit (CMPU) that meets the conditions specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of this section.
(1) The CMPU uses as feedstocks, generates as byproducts, or produces as products any of the hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in Table 1 to this subpart (Table 1 HAP).
(3) Table 1 HAP are present in feedstocks, or Table 1 HAP are generated or produced in the CMPU and are present in process fluid, at concentrations greater than 0.1 percent for carcinogens, as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration at 29 CFR 1910.1200(d)(4), and greater than 1.0 percent for noncarcinogens. To determine the Table 1 HAP content of feedstocks, you may rely on formulation data provided by the manufacturer or supplier, such as the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the material. If the concentration in an MSDS is presented as a range, use the upper bound of the range.
(b) A CMPU includes all process vessels, equipment, and activities necessary to operate a chemical manufacturing process that produces a material or a family of materials described by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 325. A CMPU consists of one or more unit operations and any associated recovery devices. A CMPU also includes each storage tank, transfer operation, surge control vessel, and bottoms receiver associated with the production of such NAICS code 325 materials.
(c) This subpart does not apply to the operations specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (6) of this section.
(1) Affected sources under the following chemical manufacturing area source categories listed pursuant to Clean Air Act (CAA) section 112(c)(3) and 112(k)(3)(B)(ii) that are subject to area source standards under this part:
(ii) Mercury Emissions from Mercury Cell Chlor-Alkali Plants, subject to subpart IIIII of this part.

(ii) Manufacture of photographic film, paper, and plate where the material is coated with or contains chemicals. This subpart does apply to the manufacture of photographic chemicals.
(iii) Fabricating operations (such as spinning or compressing a solid polymer into its end use); compounding operations (in which blending, melting, and resolidification of a solid polymer product occurs for the purpose of incorporating additives, colorants, or stabilizers); and extrusion and drawing operations (converting an already produced solid polymer into a different shape by melting or mixing the polymer and then forcing it or pulling it through an orifice to create an extruded product). An operation is subject if it involves processing with Table 1 HAP solvent or if an intended purpose of the operation is to remove residual Table 1 HAP monomer.
(5) Ancillary activities, as defined in § 63.11502(b).
(6) Metal HAP in structures or existing as articles as defined in 40 CFR 372.3.
(d) This subpart applies to each new or existing affected source. The affected source is the facility-wide collection of CMPUs and each heat exchange system and wastewater system associated with a CMPU that meets the criteria specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section. A CMPU using only Table 1 organic HAP is required to control only total CAA section 112(b) organic HAP. A CMPU using only Table 1 metal HAP is required to control only total CAA section 112(b) metal HAP.
(1) An affected source is an existing source if you commenced construction or reconstruction of the affected source before October 6, 2008.
(2) An affected source is a new source if you commenced construction or reconstruction of the affected source on or after October 6, 2008.
(e) Any source that was a major source and installed a control device on a CMPU after November 15, 1990, and, as a result, became an area source under 40 CFR part 63 is required to obtain a permit under 40 CFR part 70 or 40 CFR part 71. Otherwise, you are exempt from the obligation to obtain a permit under 40 CFR part 70 or 40 CFR part 71, provided you are not otherwise required by law to obtain a permit under 40 CFR 70.3(a) or 40 CFR 71.3(a). Notwithstanding the previous sentence, you must continue to comply with the provisions of this subpart.
(f) If you own or operate an existing affected source, you must achieve compliance with the applicable provisions in this subpart no later than October 29, 2012.
(g) If you start up a new affected source on or before October 29, 2009, you must achieve compliance with the applicable provisions of this subpart no later than October 29, 2009.
(h) If you start up a new affected source after October 29, 2009, you must achieve compliance with the provisions in this subpart upon startup of your affected source.

Man At Romney Rally Wears Mindblowingly Offensive Shirt
The Getty Images photo was taken at a Romney/Ryan campaign event in Lancaster, Ohio on Friday. A Romney spokesperson commented that the shirt was "reprehensible and has no place in this election."
Update Jamie Sabau, the Getty photographer who took the photo tells BuzzFeed the photo "was taken inside the rally, not taken in line" as some have questioned.
Update 2 Jodi Einhorn, manager of public relations for Getty Images also confirms "that contributing photographer Jamie Sabau shot the image in Lancaster, OH during a rally for Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Republican vice presidential candidate Representative Paul Ryan."

If you form your Delaware Company through Harvard Business Services you will experience the fastest and friendliest way to start your business that you can imagine. We're specialists in just this ONE thing, and we take pride in our desire and ability to do it BETTER than anyone out there. Excellence means getting it done quickly, getting it done correctly, and making you feel important, because you are!

Your data is kept confidential and is not released to third parties.
Your personal information is encrypted by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.
Like our service? If you are one of our many satisfied customers, please give us a BBB review.
As we help our customers reach informed decisions about forming business entities, we find that some questions about incorporating arise more often than others. Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions. If you don't see your question answered here, our business formation specialists are available to help via phone (800-345-2677) or live chat.
Yes. A corporation can own another corporation and can purchase it using the first corporation's stock. This is yet one more advantage among many of having a Delaware corporation. In fact, under the new IRS regulations, even subchapter S corporations can own and control major portions of affiliated companies.
Yes! Preferred stock is a popular way to give investors what they want and still retain voting control of the company. Preferred stock is much cheaper and easier to issue upon formation than later, so consider getting it right from the beginning if you're planning to raise money.
Yes. Only Harvard Business Services, Inc. gives you a 5% discount on the formation of every new LLC or corporation after your initial filing, regardless of when you form them. If you're a current client, you must form the new company in your own name and at your own address to be eligible for this discount. Call for more details.
No. You don't need to transact business in Delaware, keep a bank account here, or even visit the state in order to form and operate your corporation under Delaware law. (See more on why you should choose Delaware for your incorporation needs.)
Yes. We retain as our company counsel a prestigious and widely acclaimed Wilmington, DE law firm whose specialty is Delaware corporation law. This is an important consideration for at least two reasons. Your corporation or LLC is defined by the wording in the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws. Delaware law allows wording in corporate papers that offers added flexibility and protection to a corporation or LLC. Many filing services use generic or boilerplate wording in their forms that don't take full advantage of the benefits of Delaware's corporate law.
Our law firm writes, reads, or reviews everything we do with the specific mission of drafting our corporate papers and keeping the language state-of-the-art.
Investors, in addition to a suitable return on their money, want tangible, legal evidence of their investment (their part of ownership) in your enterprise. Stock certificates are really the only way to accomplish this. Serious and savvy investors are far less likely to invest in a "project" or an "idea" without the stock ownership structure in place. If you approach or are approached by an investor, have that structure and your business plan ready.
Only get as many shares as you need. Your annual Delaware franchise taxes will be based on the number of shares you have. (See more on understanding your company's stock.)
No. Your stock certificates are printed with your company name and the total authorized shares in your company. You choose the name of the stockholder and the number of shares the certificate represents and enter that information on the certificate.
No, we are not affiliated with Harvard University.
The key difference is that their "packages" are not really packages because they don't include extras that wind up costing a lot of extra money. Our packages include everything they say they include. There are no hidden fees or surprises. The wording, the claims, and the promises we make about our services are very straightforward and easy to understand. Beware of what others claim.
The name of your corporation or LLC must have an approved corporate ending (suffix). The following corporate endings are available to Delaware corporations: Association, Club, Company, Corporation, Fund, Foundation, Incorporated, Institute, Society, Syndicate, or Limited, or one of these abbreviations: Co., Corp., Inc., or LTD. Your corporate name cannot have the word "Bank," "Trust," "University," or "College."
For more information, check out an article on naming a company posted on the HBS Blog.
We can deliver the fastest incorporation services in the world, period. When we say "next day delivery," it means exactly that: a first-class corporate kit, which includes a stand-up desk seal, as well as stock certificates and a minute book the very next day.
Service that fast comes by virtue of our special authorization in cooperation with the state of Delaware to process approvals on an expedited basis. Your approval process takes top priority not just with us but with the Division of Corporations as well. Then we rush your documents out by courier so that they are in your hands the next morning (in most areas).
We often hear the question, "What is a Delaware corporation?" In short, a Delaware corporation is a business entity that is created under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The state of Delaware is the popular choice for companies that wish to incorporate due to its business-friendly legal climate, which has been voted the best in the country for 11 years in a row by the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform. Corporations are different from limited liability companies in that they have the ability to go public by selling shares of stock in the company. For more details, or to form a corporation, please visit our corporation 101 page.
People from outside Delaware who wish to form Delaware corporations must, as prescribed by Delaware law, have a registered agent within the state. The registered agent acts as the original incorporator, files the corporation, and remains the registered agent for the life of the corporation.
You can count on our registered agent service to send out your annual Delaware franchise tax report, to help you compute your tax if necessary, to assist you when necessary in making changes in your corporation such as increasing the number of shares of stock or changing the corporate address, or just to answer your questions whenever they come up.
We charge $50 per year which, to our knowledge, is and has been the lowest fee available. And, unlike some other services, our fee covers 12 full months regardless of when during the calendar year you file your corporation. (See next question below.)
Par value has no relationship to the market value of your stock. If your stock were publicly traded, investors would determine its day-to-day market value. The stock of many large and well-known corporations may trade for $50, $75, or $100 on a given day, but the par value of their stock may be as low as $.00001. Par value affects your franchise tax, so it saves money to assign a low value. A $0 par value is usually recommended for companies with 1,500 shares or less. (See more on understanding your company's stock.)
We bill you on the anniversary of your incorporation date each year, which means your fee covers a full year's (12 months) service. For example, if you file through us in October, your next registered agent fee is not due until the following October.
Some registered agent services bill you on a calendar-year basis. If you incorporate toward the middle or end of the year, you'll get a registered agent invoice again at the beginning of the next calendar year, which may be only a few months away. Again, beware of what others claim.
Your LLC name CANNOT contain the words "Bank," "University," or "College." It may contain the word "Trust."
Rick Bell, the founder of Harvard Business Services, Inc., has an entrepreneurial background which spans a wide range of start-ups and business ventures. Since starting Harvard Business Services, Inc. in 1981, Rick has kept that spirit and those experiences foremost, as he has refined and simplified the business of helping other entrepreneurs form businesses.
Rick firmly believes that self-reliance, hard work, and the can-do spirit of entrepreneurship have a proven history of creating and supporting vibrant, dynamic economic systems. If the process of forming a corporation were an expensive, time-consuming barrier to starting a business, it would stall an otherwise powerful economic engine.
Absolutely not. This is one of the hallmarks of our way of doing business and we are proud to point it out. We are alone in guaranteeing a fixed annual fee of $50 for the life of your corporation.
Look out for registered agents who tell you their fee can be increased at any time without notice. They can, and will, increase your annual rate.

Buston, K; Williamson, L; Hart, G; (2007) Young women under 16 years with experience of sexual intercourse: who becomes pregnant? J EPIDEMIOL COMMUN H , 61 (3) 221 - 225. 10.1136/jech.2005.044107.
Full text not available from this repository.
Background: The UK has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in western Europe. Although there is a large body of literature focusing on predictors of conception among this age group, almost all the work compares those young women who have become pregnant with their peers, regardless of whether or not their peers have experienced sexual intercourse.Objective: To compare 16-year-old young women who have become pregnant with their peers who also have experience of sexual intercourse, but who have not conceived.Design: Analysis of data from the baseline and follow-up surveys conducted as part of a trial of sex education.Setting and participants: Female school students aged 14 - 16 years from the East of Scotland.Main results: Young age of self and partner, and non-use of contraception, all at first intercourse, are most strongly associated with pregnancy.Conclusions: Those who engage in sexual intercourse at a relatively young age will often have had more opportunity to become pregnant than those whose sexual debut comes later. Similarly, the fact that those who use contraception at first intercourse have been less likely to conceive than those who do not could reflect the overall patterns of contraceptive use: young women who have used contraception at each occasion of intercourse will have had less chance to conceive than those who have not. Having a young partner at first intercourse suggests that, if this pattern continues, the couple may lack the resources needed to prevent a pregnancy due to the immaturity of both partners.

I am having company over for dinner tonight. I don't want to go back out. I have a cake mix. Can I use olive oil insted of veg oil???
Mommy to CJ 7/3/06 & Ryan 1/30/12
"The greatest gifts you can give your children are roots and wings."
I wouldn't, EVOO has a much stronger flavor than veg oil.
Maybe someone will give you a sub suggestion. I think you can sub applesauce for oil, but I'm not 100% sure.....
mom to :
Nick (18), Ellie (7), Emily (4)
I would think that would taste horrible!!! But I have never tried it so don't just take my word for it, lol
I wouldn't recommend it! It will definately effect the taste of the cake. One of my girls made a cake for her sister and used olive oil, thinking oil was oil... It was horrible. We had to throw it out. And almost nothing gets thrown out around here with my hungry crew!
I found this at the Duncan Heinz website:
|Can I substitute butter in place of oil in the cakes mixes that specify oil?
|Butter or margarine can be melted down and in its liquid form measured to the amount of oil necessary to the recipe. It should be cooled down however, before adding to the other ingredients.

I was just wondering the same thing earlier this week! I am glad to find this thread because now I know to not even try it! Thanks!
EVOO in a cake tastes pretty nasty. The look comes out the same but he taste...Not so much.
♥Hunter 2/95♥ ♥Jax 3/02♥
♥Teague 1/04♥ ♥Ranger 7/07♥
I find it depends on the oil. Some Olive oil doesn't have much taste, while others do. I always use Olive oil because it's what I have on hand. Either we are used to the taste or our oil isn't very flavorful.
Mom to to L and R
Going completely crazy
yes, you can use apple sauce in place of oil
"Although we enjoy men individually, you must agree that as a group they're rather stupid" -Mrs. Banks
I always use olive oil, and 2 weekends ago used evoo in some cookies and we couldn't taste a difference. I guess I got lucky!

Re: nV News Widescreen LCD Club (formally DELL thread)
Guys, hi picked up one of these today at Microcenter for a good price:
samsung syncmaster P2770HD, and seems good using dvi atm, but can use HDMI instead.
Would it make a differnce if using HDMI over DVI and would it pick up as a syncmaster like it does over DVI with the monitor pnp functions?
Great display but notice it changes darkenss fileds at times so will HDMI fix that and also i can update firmware with usb so how can that be done?

"Shattered" is the 157th episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager, aired on the UPN network. It is the 10th episode of the seventh season.
This series follows the adventures of the Federation starship Voyager, isolated tens of thousands of light-years from home. In this episode, a spatial phenomenon causes the ship to be fractured such that different parts exist at different points in time and Commander Chakotay must fight old adversaries in order to get Voyager restored to normal.
Commander Chakotay encounters Icheb and young Naomi Wildman in Cargo Bay 2, where Naomi is enjoying the puzzle the two are playing with, while Icheb is attempting to use it as a teaching tool. Chakotay tells Icheb of his cider stash and how he hopes Neelix will not find it. Icheb suggests storing it with the Borg spare parts as Neelix says they give him the creeps.
Later, a chronokinetic surge from a rift in space interacts with the warp core, and Chakotay is hit with a blast of temporal energy.
He awakens in the Doctor's Sickbay and is astonished to discover the Doctor believes it is now several years earlier. Chakotay explores the ship and realizes that it is fractured into many differing time periods. The Doctor's treatment of him, realigning his body with a chronoton serum, allows Chakotay to pass through the time barriers.
During his exploration, he finds Engineering is under the control of the Cardassian Seska and the Kazon. He is beaten and detained, but manages to escape as the upper level of Engineering is in a different time period altogether. The bridge of the ship is a few days before the Caretaker incident, so Chakotay is regarded as a spy. He is again detained, and ordered taken to the brig. He escapes when the security men who arrest him do not follow him through time, as they have not been injected with the Doctor's serum.
Chakotay gets the Doctor to produce a hypospray filled with the same serum he was injected with. He again finds Captain Janeway on the bridge. Janeway, a guard, and Chakotay talk in her ready room. Despite his knowledge of her past, he is not implicitly believed. He manages to take the Captain hostage and injects her with the serum. They pass through a time barrier, leaving Janeway's guard unable to see her. This convinces Janeway to help Chakotay.
In Astrometrics they encounter an adult Naomi Wildman and Icheb wearing Starfleet uniforms. After recovering from their surprise at seeing Janeway and Chakotay alive - in their timeline, they had died 17 years earlier. After recovering from their surprise, they are able to help Chakotay and Janeway gain additional information about the ship and the temporal disturbances. They devise a strategy to bring the ship into temporal alignment. Icheb tells Chakotay he never revealed the location of the cider.
During the course of this they visit many areas and time periods. Cargo Bay 2 is from when the Borg have formed an alliance with Voyager. They meet Seven of Nine, who is still part of the collective, who also helps them further develop the plan. Their efforts reveal they must inject the serum into the bio-neural gel-packs on many areas of the ship. If successful, Chakotay will find himself in his right time and be able to stop the time-fracturing.
In the process, he refers to several episodes from the past seven years. Janeway begins to second-guess decisions she has not even made yet, especially after learning her human doctor will soon perish. She knows she started with 153 crewmen and struggles with wanting to know how many more she will lose. After witnessing Commander Tuvok's death as a result of the chronokinetic surge, she becomes convinced that entering the Delta Quadrant at all is wrong, as it is a "gigantic deathtrap". Chakotay convinces her not to attempt to alter the timeline to avoid stranding the ship in the Delta Quadrant.
Both Astrometrics and Cargo Bay 2 have provided vital information to the problems, but the next few sections provide many dangers. The Transporter room is in the days immediately after the Caretaker incident and contains Maquis, led by Torres, angry at Janeway's decision to destroy "[their] only way out of the Delta Quadrant". The holodeck, which is malfunctioning, is running Lt. Paris's Captain Proton program, which Janeway must talk herself out of. Again, Chakotay must visit Engineering. He enters it alone. Seska decides to attempt realign Voyager with her time period and use the knowledge of the future to guarantee she will keep control.
It does not work. Janeway had organized a resistance movement from all corners of time and ship. Current Tom, early Harry, the Maquis, future Icheb and Naomi, and Borg-Seven-of-Nine (all injected with Chakotay's serum) help defeat Seska's forces and allow the plan to go forward.
In a few seconds the ship is back to the original time and Chakotay manages to stop the disaster. When Janeway asks him why he ordered B'Elanna Torres to burn out the deflector dish, he says he can't tell her because of the Temporal Prime Directive. Later, Chakotay has dinner with Janeway, who lets on that she knows the location of Chakotay's cider stash but can't tell him how she knows because of the Temporal Prime Directive.

I've had a 335i since 2007 and been mountain biking with it all this time - no issues!
It sounds like you didn't get the folding rear seat option? I specifically ordered my car that way so I could put my bike in the back. It fits perfectly.
For those occasions when I do need to bring a second bike, I have the BMW factory rack. It only takes a few minutes to install. If I had to do it again I would probably go the Thule route.
Don't worry about getting dirt/mud all over it. That stuff washes off. Bring a towel with you to line the driver's seat.

Product Description
Ask the average person to sum up his ideal life in a few words, and he'd describe the American dream: College. Job. Marriage. House. Kids. Comfortable income. Retire.
Though God designed people for far more than this, nevertheless millions waste their lives on such "fatal success"-all because they have not awakened to the simple, biblical reality that "to live is Christ, and to die is gain." But this valuable resource can assist churches, small groups, and teachers in reversing that empty trend.

It's been a fight from the start to get my kids to take Omegas as a daily supplement. But, they absolutely LOVE these and not only are willing to take them, but REMIND me that they need to take their vitamins every day. I recommend these to all my friends who have picky kids like mine. Now I can can be confident that they're getting some needed nutrients that they're definitely not getting from the foods they eat.

Our imaging department (radiology) offers a wide range of
advanced diagnostic equipment to help us see what's happening inside our patients — so that you can be diagnosed and treated
quickly and accurately. We can find a tumor in the brain,
reveal a spot on an organ, or discover any number of abnormalities
without even scratching your skin.
Our Imaging Department is staffed by
board-certified radiologists, who interpret images with skill, as well as registered and licensed radiology
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create still or video images of soft tissue areas of the body. Because ultrasound uses no radiation, sonography is the gold standard for imaging the fetus inside the mother's womb. Ultrasound is useful for many other types of problems such as blood clots in the legs, appendicitis in children, and many other indications.
Warm acoustic gel is applied to the skin over the area to be viewed. A hand-held instrument called a "transducer" is then moved slowly across your skin generating an image that appears on the ultrasound monitor. Ultrasound procedures are generally painless and quick. Sometimes pressure is applied to the transducer to facilitate scanning. Ultrasounds usually take less than 30 minutes to complete.
If your abdomen or pelvic regions are to be examined, you may be asked not to eat or drink after midnight prior to the exam, or you may be asked to arrive for the test with a full bladder. For some women having pelvic ultrasound exams, the physician may request the use of a vaginal "transducer" to view pelvic anatomy from the inside. If you have questions concerning this you can always speak with your physician, or the sonographer prior to the exam. In all cases, you will receive specific instructions for your exam when you speak with a scheduler.
Computed Tomography (CT) is a diagnostic tool that uses X-rays to produce a series of computerized images of your body that are useful in detecting many medical conditions that do not appear on traditional X-rays.
Similar in appearance to an MRI scanner, the doughnut-shaped CT scanner houses an X-ray tube that moves rapidly around a specific anatomical area of your body, taking X-ray pictures and transmitting them to a computer. The computer reconstructs these signals to form a complete image of your internal anatomy.
During your CT exam, you will be asked to lie very still and quiet on a padded table for approximately 15 minutes.
In some cases, your physician may request you be given a substance called contrast to be taken through one of your veins. You may also need to drink oral contrast before your exam. This enables radiologists to view some specific images with greater accuracy.
Nuclear medicine scans use a camera to take pictures of certain tissues in the body after a radioactive material accumulates in certain tissues. Patients undergoing nuclear medicine scans receive a safe dosage of radioactive material either orally or through an IV. The radiation dose serves to make tissues visible during the scanning pictures. The material soon leaves the body as waste. Nuclear medicine exam times are quite variable and some are lengthy depending on the type of exam you are having. You will be given information regarding the approximate time your exam will take when your exam is scheduled.
Diagnostic imaging generally refers to the use of traditional x-ray technology technologies to produce images of bones, tissues, organs, and body parts to help physicians see problems within the body and recommend solutions.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced medical imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves instead of X-ray to take internal pictures of different parts of the body. It is an easy, safe and comfortable exam. It provides an excellent way to diagnose diseases of the brain, spine, skeleton, chest, abdomen, pelvis and blood vessels.
The MRI exam requires you to lie very still on a table that moves into a doughnut-shaped scanner housing a large magnet. During the procedure, you may speak with the technologist overseeing your test by intercom. Due to various noises made by the machine during the test, you may be provided with earplugs or earphones to listen to music. The procedure lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number and types of images needed. In some cases, your physician may request you be given a substance called contrast, to be taken through one of your veins. This enables radiologists to view some specific images with greater accuracy.
An MRI procedure is very safe. There is no known health risk associated with the magnetic field or the radio waves the machine emits during a procedure. However, some special circumstances limit the use of a magnetic field, so it is important for you to tell us if any of the following apply to you or a loved one accompanying you into the exam room:

Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) is an X-ray test that measures bone thickness. It is used to see if your bones are getting thin and brittle, which means they could break more easily. The results of the test may show that you need treatment for osteoporosis.
DEXA scans at Riverton are available on Tuesdays, 7 a.m.-6 p.m. and Wednesdays and Thursdays, 7 a.m.-5 p.m. To schedule an appointment, call (801) 507-7840.
Mammography is a specific type of low-dose, noninvasive X-ray used to examine breast tissue, commonly searching for breast tissue irregularities. Mammograms make it possible to detect tumors that cannot be felt. Mammograms can also find micro-calcifications (tiny deposits of calcium in the breast) that sometimes indicate the presence of breast cancer. Mammography can be used either for screening or for diagnostic purposes in evaluating a breast lump.
You don't need a physician referral to get a mammogram. Mammograms at Riverton are available on Tuesdays, 7 a.m.-6 p.m. and Wednesdays and Thursdays, 7 a.m.-5 p.m. To schedule an appointment, call (801) 507-7840.
Not only do we have the latest imaging technology,
but we can detect problems faster than ever before. For Example: After
the onset of a stroke, two million brain cells can die in just a minute.
Technologies such as our multi-slice CT scanner and brain perfusion
color flow mapping, can help the physician quickly assess the location
and extent of damage caused by stroke within minutes. Every minute we
save could mean the difference between permanent brain damage and full
The bottom line is, we're using the latest technology to care for
you effectively and efficiently to ensure your safety. We also commit to
doing all we can to make it enjoyable for you to be here. Those are
important priorities to us.

RSS generator
npm install diffuse
A fast and simple RSS generator for Node.
var RSS = require'diffuse';var http = require'http'; var feed = RSScreateFeed title: 'Amphibious Rodents' link: 'http://www.amphibiousrodentsclub.com' description: 'Where we share our thoughts about amphibiosu rodents'; feedaddItem title: 'Let me introduce myself' description: 'My name is Bobby Stevenson and I command several fleets of amphibious rodents. Come with me on a journey to learn more about them.
My RSS feed can contain HTML in case I would like to emphasize my interest in rodents.' guid: '2013-1-20' pubDate: toUTCString;
Usage is fairly simple. The
Diffuse API is mostly compatible with node-rss module.
var RSS = require'diffuse';
Creating a feed
Just call
#createFeed with an object containing elements & their contents.
var feed = RSScreateFeed title: 'my feed' link: 'www.example.com' // Not limited to text! description: text: 'A description of my feed' attrs: href: 'www.example.com' ;
Some elements are required according to RSS spec, and these are created for you automatically. Usually you would at least prefer to specify a
link and a
description, but diffuse will accept anything you throw at it. Unlike
createItem does not have any defaults.
Adding items
#addItem to add an item to your feed. This behaves similarly to
createFeed, by building whatever elements you provide it.
var item = feedaddItem title: 'The color white considered harmful' description: 'Here is the content of my RSS article. I hope you are ready for grammatical mistakes and poor word-flow.';
title and
description of the feed as well as items within it are wrapped in CDATA blocks, so your descriptions may contain HTML. Give her hell.
Rendering your feed
To render your feed, call
#render. This returns the generated XML of your RSS feed, and accepts a callback.
var data = feedrender; feedrender //Do stuff ;
Diffuse has an internal caching mechanism. Diffuse watches its document structure for modifications, and caches your generated XML. Re-rendering only needs to occur when the document has been modified. This happens either when you add a new item, or items have been modified using
item#set. This gives it a significant performance advantage.
More item configuration
After you've created an item, you can still modify it using a simple API.
var item = feedaddItem title: 'Butt'; itemset'title' 'My modified title. I didn\'t mean to say butt. Silly me.'itemtitleset'text' 'Hello ';itemtitleset'text' itemtitleget'text' + 'world';itemtitleset'attrs' href: 'www.example.com' ;
Building new Elements
Internally, Diffuse has a simple API for building its document structure. That is exposed to you if you need to build a more complicated structure.
var anchor = RSScreateElement'a' href: 'http://www.google.com' ;anchorappendText'My anchor.'; var mine = RSScreateElement'strong' ' Mine.'; anchorappendChildmine; var content = anchortoString; // My anchor. Mine.

Clippers star guard Chris Paul setting tone in series with Grizzlies
Lionel Hollins returned to Memphis with an apology.
The Grizzlies head coach regretted saying Monday during Game 4 that Clippers all-star point guard Chris Paul flops.
But Hollins stopped there.
He doesn't lament how his team has played, even though the Griz suit up tonight for Game 5 down 3-1 in their Western Conference first-round playoff series with Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers.
"I just wouldn't say they're outplaying us from an effort perspective," Hollins said. "We play with a lot of effort. If we hadn't played with a lot of effort I don't think we'd be in these games like we have been."
The Griz have lost two games by a single point and another in overtime during the series. Yet they are on the brink of elimination despite starting the postseason with home-court advantage and a 27-point, second-half lead in Game 1. Both advantages slipped away from the Griz, who will try to become just the ninth team in NBA history to win a series after falling behind 3-1 in a seven-game series.
It's a daunting task given the odds and the opposing point guard who is valiantly trying to write new chapters for the otherwise downtrodden Clippers.
Paul has dominated the series with his productivity and leadership. He'll be the reason for canceling Game 6 Friday in Los Angeles if the Griz don't take Paul out of his comfort zone.
"Obviously, Chris Paul is Chris Paul," Griz guard Tony Allen said after defending Paul in Game 4. "Going into the next game, we have to keep our antennas up on Chris Paul and try to make other guys beat us."
Former NBA great and TNT analyst Charles Barkley is baffled as to why the Grizzlies don't double team Paul.
"It is Chris Paul going one-on-one every time," Barkley said. "You can't let Chris Paul make all those shots; you have to take the ball out of his hands."
Paul has been a key for the Clippers in this series. He nearly amassed a triple double in Game 4 and his scoring in pick-and-rolls dominated the overtime period. Paul scored eight of his 27 points in the extra session.
He also got to the free-throw line where he hit all six of his free throws in the game.
"I used the wrong word (Monday) night," Hollins said. "Chris Paul is very good at creating fouls and I shouldn't have used the word 'flop.' That's the wrong word to use but he's good at putting you in position where you have to foul him; where he creates a foul."
Expect the Griz to continue to use Allen's size and strength to defend Paul. Several Grizzlies will also have their shot at giving Paul a different defensive look. Memphis will likely send another defender to crowd the crafty floor general.
One of the best and clutch defensive moments on Paul Monday night happened at the end of regulation when Rudy Gay converged on Paul with Allen guarding him.
The result was a trap that didn't allow Paul to attempt a good shot or locate an easy passing lane.
"We don't want anybody to feel that free," Gay said. "I don't get that many wide-open shots at the end of the game so I didn't want it to happen for him."
Allen said the Clippers have been "manhandling this series." That's another way of saying the Grizzlies have succumbed to the Clippers' will, led by Paul's assertiveness.
Paul has carefully handled the ball to create space for good shots whether he's taken them or set up teammates for easy scores. The idea of forcing the ball out of Paul's hands is to force other Clippers to make plays, which may lead to turnovers.
"We haven't been able to turn them over," Hollins said. "They've taken good care of the ball and that's because Chris Paul has the ball in his hands. They've shot the 3-ball really well and now they're starting to attack with (Blake) Griffin in the post and the mid post."
Griffin and Paul have made it a rugged series with the help of reserve forward Reggie Evans' tenacity. Paul, however, has been the most difficult puzzle to solve.
The Griz insist they aren't demoralized by the Paul dilemma or their series predicament.
"Our heads are up," Allen said. "The confidence is still high. All of the guys are still together."
Memphis needs to capture three games in a row to win the series, and is bolstered by the fact that two can be had at home.
"We're a tough team," Gay said. "We're a resilient team. We can bounce back."
CP3 by the numbers
Chris Paul ranks sixth in the playoffs with his 23.5 scoring average
Paul's assists per game in this postseason rank second only to Boston's Rajon Rondo (13).
Paul's free throw percentage (22 of 24) in series.
