Required application documents Application form Curriculum Vitae (in French or in English) Cover letter, stating the motivation for studying at ESCP-EAP (in French or in English) Transcripts or grade sheets of previous years at the university Proof of good level of French, if student wishes to take management courses in French. Admission requirements Age As the exchange students will integrate our Master in Management programme, they will be studying with French and International students aged from 21 to 24 years old. We would advise you to nominate students that are not older than 28 years old. Language We require the exchange students to speak fluent English or fluent French in order to have no difficulties to follow the management courses taught in French and in English. Visa requirement and residence permit The information below should be checked for updates with the French consulate of your residence at least 3 months before departure. 1. Students from the European Union and the European Economic Area do not need a visa. 2. Students who need a visa can apply for one of three kinds of visas: 2.1. "visa de court séjour pour études" (short stay study visa) - valid for only 90 days. It applies to you only if you come to ESCP-EAP for the summer semester. Other semesters are longer than 90 days. This visa entitles you to enter and to stay for up to 90 days without a residence permit. It cannot be extended. 2.2. "visa de long séjour temporaire pour études" (long stay temporary study visa) - valid for 91 to 180 days. This visa is the one you need if you will be in France for one semester. It entitles you to enter and to stay up to 180 days without a residence permit. It cannot be extended. 2.3. "visa de long séjour pour études" (long stay study visa) - valid for 181 days and more. This visa is the one you need if you will be in France for one academic year. It entitles you to enter - but not to stay. Upon arrival, you need to apply for a "carte de séjour" (residence permit). This procedure takes up to 2 months. This type of stay can be extended. 3.1. To apply for a long stay temporary study visa or long stay study visa in a country where a CEF (Centre pour les Etudes en France) is in force, you need to go through the CEF procedure, also known as Pastel. Students going on an exchange can normally get a waiver (50% or 100%) of the CEF fee. They 4 can also ask for a waiver of the interview. After your CEF procedure is completed, your visa is issued by the French Consulate (a visa fee applies). Among ESCP-EAP partner university countries, those with a CEF prodedure (February 2008) are Brazil, Canada, China, India, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, the USA, and Vietnam. In these countries, you should apply online on the CampusFrance website specific to your country. 3.2. If your country does not have a CEF procedure, or if you are applying for a short stay study visa, please apply to the French consulate of your residence. 3.3. In all cases, you should insist on getting a long stay temporary study visa if you will be staying under 181 days, even though this type of visa may not be clearly offered on the documentation provided. It will make your stay simpler as you will not have to apply for a residence permit. 3.4. There is positively no possibility of extention for a tourist visa or for a type 1 and type 2 visa above. Exchange students should not enter France on a tourist visa. Insurance requirement Medical coverage is mandatory in France. All students are required to provide ESCP-EAP with proof of their medical coverage. All students have to register with the French Student social security (195 euros*), except if: - they are EU nationals : they can benefit from the French Social Security by providing their European Health coverage card, which they must obtain from their Social Security before leaving their home country. They will be required to show a copy of this form upon arrival. - they have a French government scholarship, such as a bourse Eiffel or Bourse CROUS - they are over 28 years old. They cannot register for French Student medical coverage. They must show proof of medical coverage from their country. French student medical coverage covers sickness, hospital and accident costs. It reimburses 70% of expenses (however, dental and optical care are minimally covered). Students will be asked to show proof of an insurance, covering them for the risks of civil liability, repatriation and individual accident. * Price is subject to change ACADEMIC CALENDAR (Tentative dates) Fall semester 14 September 2009 – 18 December 2009 (exams included) 31 August 2009– 4 September 2009 (Orientation week) Holidays 26 October 2009 – 1 November 2009 21 December 2009 – 3 January 2010 Spring semester 25 January 2010 – 14 May 2010 (exams included) 4 January 2010 – 8 January 2010 (Orientation week) Holidays 1 March 2010 – 7 March 2010 26 April 2010 – 2 May 2010 Summer semester 31 May 2010 -9 July 2010 Dates are subject to change.

Students are expected to stay in France until the last day of the semester. 5 Orientation week All exchange students are required to attend an orientation week, and attend an integration seminar on Business in a European context. It is entitled "Management and European Integration". This seminar is credited (2.5 credits) and lasts one week prior to the beginning of classes. COURSES Courses registration Fall semester April 2009 (April 10th to April 27th) Spring semester October 2009 Summer semester February 2010 Exchange students must register for their courses online (through the school intranet). Detailed dates for online registration will be informed as soon as available. One month after the end of the online registration, students can check on the Intranet which courses they've been enrolled in. Please note that some courses can be cancelled because of a low demand. Upon their arrival at ESCP-EAP, students have one week to request course changes. Courses offered to Exchange students Elective courses There are two types of elective courses: Advanced management electives which enable students to broaden their knowledge of a specific discipline. Introductory management electives which explore sector-specific, geopolitical, and cultural issues, as well as issues related to a specific business function. Specializations A specialization is a block of 4 or 5 courses in the same field. Specializations are offered in French and in English. Language classes Exchange students may enrol in a weekly French class upon arrival at ESCP-EAP, at no additional cost. In this case, they must take a French level test on the welcome day to evaluate their level in French. Course duration is 2 hours per week, and is credited (2,5 credits). French classes for beginners are also offered. A tutor for other languages is also at their disposal for private, half-hour lessons. Students can register for these one to one lessons for half an hour per week. Language of instruction French or English 6 Workload The normal workload for a degree student is 25 ECTS per semester. The maximum workload authorized is 180 hours (=30 ECTS) per semester, which is a maximum of 6 courses x 30 hours (excluding language classes). PER SEMESTER ECTS 1 advanced management elective course of 30 5 ECTS hours (10 weeks) 1 introductory management elective course of 15 2.5 ECTS hours (5 weeks) Specialization of 120 to 150 contact hours 20 ECTS or 25 ECTS Learning expectations Attendance to each class is compulsory. Students should not miss more than 2 classes (per course and per term). More than 2 missing classes will be considered as a "Fail"(with no resit possibility). Even though students timetable may show that a course ends before the official ending of the term, they are required to stay at ESCP-EAP until the official ending of the term. Indeed, exams take place during the last week of the term. ESCP-EAP does not organise distance exams, students are expected to be present on the Paris campus on the exam date. Missing exams with no valid excuse will result in a "Fail" grade. Transcripts and certificates Grades are published around 1 month and a half after the end of the term. The incoming students coordinator will send to the partner institutions all the official transcripts of their exchange students. Attestations can be provided, on request, to certify that exchanged students successfully followed a specialization. ECTS Grading system (European Credit Transfer System) ECTS grade A B C D E Grade 10% 25% 30% 25% 10% distribution (EU recommendation) Please note that the ECTS grades depend on the results of the whole class through our 5 campuses on each specific course. For example, for one specific course, the grade shows the student's performance as compared with the average grade of the class, the average grade of the students on the Paris campus and the average grade of the students on all the ESCP-EAP campuses. 7 LIVING AND STUDYING IN PARIS Accommodation ESCP-EAP has no accommodation on-campus. However, the school has an agreement with a student residence called "Le Vivaldi". The Residence is about 35 minutes away by metro and there is a direct bus from the residence to the school which takes about 25 minutes. Rent is about 700 euros for a 20 sq meter studio and 600 euros for a 19 sq meter studette (all equipped with a bathroom and a small kitchen). Rent includes electricity, water and heating. Students need to buy their own dishes and linen. Students can also apply for accommodation at the Cite Universitaire Internationale : www.ciup.fr They can also choose to look for a private flat. However they should be aware that it is very difficult to find a flat in Paris for a short term rental. Students can regularly check for accommodation ads published on the school intranet. Transport Public transportation in Paris is very convenient and covers the whole city. Tickets are purchased in the metro stations or from bus conductors. Tickets cost €1,60 per unit but are cheaper when bought by 10 (€11.40). A single ticket is required for any distance (unlimited transfers within the bus or the metro system). Transfers from bus to metro or vice versa require a new ticket. Imagin'R (http://www.imagine-r.com) is a student pass valid for one year with which students can travel all over Paris in the bus, metro and RER (€291.50 for one year). Students may also go to the suburbs (outside of Paris) on the weekends. If students only stay for a few months, a monthly "Carte Orange" pass is available for €55.10. Students will need to request for a Navigo pass. With it, they can travel all over Paris as much as they like. Details of travel passes available on www.ratp.fr. Estimated cost of living Transport 55.10 € per month ("Navigo pass" for the metro, buses, RER within Paris) Health insurance 195 € (once per academic year) Accommodation Between 600 € and 1000 € per month (depending on the choice of accommodation for a single occupancy) Food around 300 € (Meals at the school canteen cost around 70 € per month) Mobile phone around 40 € for a monthly contract Tandem Programme/Buddy system (Linda Cohen and Jane Cassis, LCI department) The language department organizes a tandem programme. Tandem learning involves two people with different mother tongues working together to improve their foreign language skills and intercultural awareness. The approach is based on autonomous learning. In the context of ESCP-EAP, an additional objective is to enhance socialization processes and to facilitate integration of different student populations on the Paris Campus. Thus, tandems provide a framework for using language in an authentic context and help stimulate empathy among students from various backgrounds. Each tandem will be monitored by a member of the faculty in the language department. 8 Career services (Company relations office) Students have access to information on internships and may participate in recruitment fairs. Students can look for internship offers on the school intranet. ESCP-EAP allows them to do a part time internship under the condition that the internship takes place while they are enrolled in the school for their exchange programme and before the end of the academic year. If students plan to do an internship, they need to ask for the precise rules applying to their case. If they have entered France on a visa allowing them to stay for a non-extendable period, their internship should not go beyond that period. Before applying for internships, students need to show to the International office: - proof of payment of medical coverage (Sécurité sociale étudiante) - proof of payment of individual insurance (covering for civil liability and repatriation) - the authorization of the partner institution – allowing them to stay to do an internship. Students will need to present to the company "a convention de stage" (internship contract), which is a legal 3-party agreement between the company, the school and the student. The school will not approve a student's request for a residence permit extension or renewal for the purpose of taking an internship (unless the internship is a compulsory part of the exchange programme, as described in the agreement between ESCP-EAP and his/her home university). Therefore students should engage only in internships due to end before their residence permit expires. Facilities on campus Sport facilities Nursery Bookshop Library Computer rooms Student clubs and Student Union Canteen and Cafeteria Mailboxes Alumni association Printing facilities, scanners, photocopy machines Language department Audiovisual department Students services Sport office (Thierry Simon and David Laroque) The sport office offers a variety of sports. Exchange students need to provide a medical certificate and to pay a subscription fee of 60 € for the year and can practice any sport they like. Student clubs There is a lot of students association that exchange students can join. Two associations "Comité International" and "Club international des jeunes à Paris" suggest a lot of activities for international students. 9

Conservative News Update:
I wasn't on the scene of the Michael Brown police shooting; So I'm not making any assumptions about it. Here is some advice from a retired police officer about assaulting police officers and resisting arrest. I will keep it short and to the point!
First, I want to say that I am permanently disabled due to an attack by a large 'mentally disturbed' assailant that I (and several officers) were trying to get psychological help. We responded to a 911 call and we didn't just randomly find this 'mentally disturbed' man walking on the streets.
Second, being a Police Officer is just a job. I know that jobs are a rare commodity in the black community, but this is what the Democrat machine wants. Jobs will be even rarer after Obama gives amnesty to 25 million illegal aliens (11 million is a fake statistic).
Not every police officer is looking to have a boxing match in the street with you as your friends cheer you on, because you are bored, drunk and rowdy on a Saturday. When a police officer tells you to "take a walk", because your neighbors called 911 to complain about you and your friends; You should just take a walk.
Your Saturday night won't end well if you are rolling on the ground with a police officer and he/she believes you are reaching for their gun. A police officer can use 'deadly physical force' if he/she believes their life is in danger.
As time goes by, your name will be forgotten…Soon after the rain washes the bloody sidewalk clean.
Rich liberals aren't concerned that your friends loot and riot in the 'ghetto'. They are only concerned that you stay on public assistance and keep voting Democrat.

A National Republican Senatorial Committee official puts it simply this morning: "The NRSC has not pulled out a dime in this race."
A Republican Party official adds, "We have spent more money in Ohio than any other state and that level of spending will continue through Election Day."
Wrap all of that pushback together and it still doesn't refute Nagourney's artful reporting that the GOP is "moving to reduce financial support" in that race.
McCain vs. Clinton:
The MoDo column that ratcheted things up a bit and caused Sen. Clinton to phone Sen. McCain with an apology: LINK
Ben Smith of the New York Daily News advances the early look at the McCain vs. Clinton potential 2008 match-up beyond the North Korea squabble and explores the frontrunners' differences on torture. LINK
"The comments about McCain's prisoner-of-war days put Clinton's camp in damage-control mode with five weeks left in the 2006 cycle, at a time when everyone around her has stayed on-message," wrote Maggie Haberman of the New York Post in her Sunday story on Clinton's phone call to McCain to apologize for and disassociate herself from the blind quote. LINK
(Don't miss how the New York Post characterizes Sen. Clinton's stance on the war in the paper's "Tale of the Tape.")
David Lightman of the Hartford Courant writes about the political blame game that has ensued after the North Korea nuclear test. He Notes the high, and/but mostly the low points of the McCain-Clinton-Dodd feud from last week and the polarization created by the war in Iraq. Lightman points to how politicians' current finger-pointing "violates a long-held tenet of American foreign policy, that politics stops at the water's edge during a crisis." LINK
Foley: political fallout:
In an article slugged, "A Maverick who Worries Both Parties," the New York Times' Raymond Hernandez reports on Jack Davis, the unconventional Democrat running to unseat Rep. Thomas Reynolds (R-NY), head of the NRCC. LINK
On Sunday, the Chicago Sun Times' Bob Novak columnized about a Republican operative who seems to think Reynolds will definitely lose reelection and how the Foley scandal may hurt House Speaker Dennis Hastert's (R-IL) ambition to be Ambassador to Japan. LINK
ABC's Teddy Davis reports that Sheriff Brad Ellsworth, the Democrat running against Rep. John Hostettler (R-IN), has become the latest House candidate to air a Foley-related ad. LINK
Foley: Hastert:
The Washington Post's Michael Grunwald and Jim VandeHei look at the "accidental speaker" -- Coach Hastert whom they describe as looking like a "cross between actor Wilford Brimley and Jabba the Hut." LINK
Foley: FL-16:
The AP is reporting a new poll from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that has over 70 percent of respondents saying the Foley scandal would have no effect on their vote for FL-16 as well as other races. It also shows Democrat Tim Mahoney with a 48 to 41 lead over Republican replacement Joe Negron in what was previously considered a solidly Republican district. LINK
In Saturday's Los Angeles Times, Carol J. Williams had Negron telling a group of Florida voters: "People are saying you can't push the button next to Mark Foley's name. But I know that you're smarter than that." LINK

4. Roast in a 450°F oven 20 minutes. Turn oven control to 350°F. Roast until meat is cooked as desired; a meat thermometer inserted in the leg will register 160 °F for medium and 170°F to 180°F for well-done meat.
5. Remove from roasting pan to a carving board. Keep warm. When ready to serve, slice meat on the diagonal. Save the pan drippings to use for making gravy.
6. Prepare orzo by boiling it according to directions on the package, adding cooking oil and 1 tablespoon salt. Drain. Rinse under hot water.
7. To make gravy for the orzo, remove the fat from the pan drippings. Add boiling water while stirring with a spoon to loosen drippings on bottom of the pan. Add onions.
8. Bake at 350°F 15 minutes.
9. Pour the gravy with onions into a blender and puree. Return to the roasting pan. Combine the orzo with the gravy. Toss quickly. Serve with shredded kefalotyri as an accompaniment to the lamb.

If you write a book, the first thing you want someone to do is read it. The next thing is to review it.
Most reviewers want the same kind of information. Title, author, genre, price, etc. Make a review request for each book as it comes along, and you'll have a handy document you can copy and paste into email.
Here's what to include in the master document:
Heat rating:
Cover artist:
Link to buy:
Link to cover:
Link to excerpt:
Anything unusual or unique:
Remember to change it up a little when you write it. I always use the titles with : at the top part, then for the tag and blurb, omit those and simply put the text. For the anything unusual or unique part, I mention if it's a prequel/sequel, part of a series, or has strong erotic content. I write for the Molten Silver line of Liquid Silver Books, and they require content warnings, so I include those here.
Pay attention to what each review site wants. Some may want only two or three things, some may want more than you have on hand. Also, be sure to offer whatever format of book they are reading, especially if you have more than pdf on hand. Your publisher should provide you with the ISBN and a copy for reviews. If not, ask for them.
Here's a sample (for my current release, Alitus).

Tales of the Chosen
Passion. Addiction. Loyalty. Will true love bare its heart forever?
Alitus Vivaldi is a Better, an enhanced human bred for intelligence, discipline, and responsiveness. His combined talents in bed and politics take him from the Conqueror's favorite pleasure slave to her personal assistant. He quickly learns the way to her heart is passion, love, and loyalty. When the empire's political upheaval begins to nibble at her iron fist of control, the Conqueror must strip her favorite of his freedom and rights. To help the Conqueror accomplish her secret agenda, Alitus forsakes his identity and pride, and surrenders himself to his darkest fears. But will what he becomes save the Tarthian Empire and its Conqueror, or rock them both to their crumbling core?
Content: Graphic sex, light bondage, F/F/M menage, M/M sex, male submission, multiple partners, voyeurism, and some damn fine sex in a sleek flying limousine...
This book is a sequel to For Women Only, and Wulf, and the second of a series about the Chosen, a secret society in the Tarthian Empire.

Not that we need to recap what this device is, but we will. You lucky Canadians are looking at an Android 2.3.5 device, 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus, 1.5Ghz dual-core processor and an 8mp camera. For all practical purposes, it is a Galaxy S II. No specifics on a price tag as of yet but I would imagine that it should stick around the same price that its US cousins are dropping for. The document that was snapped does show us the most important thing when it comes to a new device, its launch day. How many awesome Canadians are looking forward to picking one of these bad boys up? Source: MobileSyrup Anonymous ive been waiting since march for this phone. it just keeps getting pushed back, and it took all of my might not to jump to bell when they got the gs2 in july. im still on a 1st gen blackberry pearl (fml) and now i have to wait 2 more god forsaken weeks? the gs2 was announced 1.5 years before release, thats a cruel joke. if apple does one thing right, its marketing. they unveil their new stuff 2 weeks before you can get your hands on it, which keeps you interested. instead, im just pissed off that for the past 6 months i held myself back from buying a much needed new phone due to the hope that "any day now" the gs2 would come to telus. Angel_of_Death Well, I absolutely agree with you on this one. I, however, was without a phone for months just to save up for this phone. So, if it gets pushed back AGAIN, I am going to cry. I want this phone. I need a phone. I really don't know what I'll do if it doesn't come out on the 19th. Acontreras4 Well its not available, according to my work at TELUS this may be an addition to our line up come November. Acontreras4 Well its not available, according to my work at TELUS this may be an addition to our line up come November. Angel_of_Death sigh… -_- Man, this sucks….

Dubai's taxi services have been named the third best in the world, according to a study by travel website TripAdvisor.
A poll of 75,000 respondents worldwide by the site ranked the emirate's ubiquitous beige cabs second only to those of Tokyo and Singapore in terms of standard of service. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Moscow, Beijing and Kuala Lumpur were castigated for the quality of their cabbies.
The study, which looked at 40 key tourist destinations worldwide, also scrutinised cities on criteria including friendliest locals, cleanest streets, ease of getting around, value for money and shopping.
Dubai, home of the world's largest mall, was also praised for the quality of its shopping, although was still ranked behind New York City and Bangkok.
Japanese capital Tokyo was commended in several categories, coming top of the pile for safety, public transport, cleanest streets and taxi services, as well as coming second to Cancun for friendliest locals.
Russia's capital Moscow was slated across the board and drew criticism for its unfriendly locals, low quality taxi services, uncompetitive value for money and poor shopping options. Mumbai, India's largest city, scored badly in terms of cleanliness and ease of getting round.

The Edwardsville District 7 School Board took a contentious, ill-advised step backward this week when the majority reappointed Greg Roosevelt to the board despite his loss at the ballot box last year.
Board President Jill Bertels said Roosevelt is uniquely qualified to fill a board vacancy because of his 12 years of previous service. (It probably didn't hurt that his wife, Brenda, is a Madison County Board member.) Actually, it's his past that should have disqualified him for this opening right from the start.
No offense to Roosevelt, but the voters decided they wanted different leadership. There were three open seats, and Roosevelt came in fourth. Bertels makes a point the Roosevelt lost to the third-place finisher by just 52 votes, but that's beside the point.
The board should have respected the voters' decision and chosen from among the other six applicants for the open seat. If Roosevelt wanted back on the board, he should have waited to run again at the next election.
The arrogance of sitting board members who think they know better than their constituents isn't going to play well. This appointment undermines public confidence in the board, which likely will make dealing with the district's ongoing financial challenges all the more difficult.

New Evidence: Was Autism, Asperger's Or Psychotropic Drugs Behind Adam Lanza's Bloody Rampage?
It goes without saying that anyone who could gun down his own mother and then slaughter 26 children has serious mental problems. However, a new report from investigators is causing some people to point the finger in a different direction.
"Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's": and: "Born on a Blue Day: Inside the Mind of an Autistic Savant": were found in Lanza's home. This has led some people to wonder whether Autism, Asperger's or Selective Serotonin Uptake Inhibitors, which may be used to treat both conditions, make people dangerous.
The short answer to that question is "No."
People with Asperger's and: Autism: are no more likely to commit crimes than the general public. Additionally, while it's wise to pay close attention to the side effects of any psychotropic drugs, they're also unlikely to cause someone to commit a crime. If you're wondering how that can be, it's worth considering the "chicken and the egg" argument when it comes to drugs.
For example, it has been noted for decades that people who take some types of antidepressants have a higher: suicide rate: than the general public. Of course, people who are healthy, happy and doing well don't take antidepressants to begin with. If you are taking antidepressants, it's an indication that you're depressed and people who are depressed are more likely to commit suicide. Moreover, some people who are depressed may want to kill themselves, but lack the energy because of their depression. The antidepressants may give them just enough energy to off themselves. Does that mean the antidepressants caused the suicide? No. Certainly, that's an issue that's still being debated in the psychiatric community, but it's : worth keeping that perspective in mind.
In Adam Lanza's case, his mother was reportedly considering having him committed. Given his behavior, it seems that she had good reason to be worried. But, it's also important not to assume that Asperger's, Autism or other forms of mental illness automatically make someone dangerous. Not only is that completely untrue, it unfairly stigmatizes people who already have enough issues on their plate to deal with.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Ryan McDonagh, Marian Gaborik and Sean Avery scored in a 4:53 span of the second period and the New York Rangers rallied to beat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-3 on Thursday night for their fourth straight win. Ryan Callahan and Michael Sauer had the other goals for the Rangers, who got points from 14 players and earned their 11th win in 13 games. Martin Biron made 28 saves as he made a spot start for No. 1 goalie Henrik Lundqvist. New York remained three points behind Eastern Conference-leading Pittsburgh, but the Rangers have played four fewer games than the Penguins. Derek Joslin, Jeff Skinner and Jiri Tlutsy scored goals for Carolina, winless in two games under new coach Kirk Muller. Muller replaced the fired Paul Maurice on Monday, and the Hurricanes lost 3-1 to Florida in his debut behind the bench Tuesday night. Cam Ward made 22 saves for the Hurricanes, who have lost five in a row and are last in the Southeast Division. Carolina got off to a good start...

Oh, Boy: Culture Club to Reunite for World Tour
The singer, 49, also promises a "proper huge worldwide tour" starring the iconic '80s hitmakers. The announcement comes during the run-up to the release of his solo album 'Ordinary Alien,' partly written while he served four months in prison for the assault and false imprisonment of a male escort.
Responding to a question about a Culture Club reunion, sent to the BBC's 'Breakfast' show late last week by celebrity fan Mark Ronson (a top producer in the industry, and brother of Lindsay Lohan's ex, Samantha Ronson), Boy George replied: "We are getting back together. Next year. This year [I'm touring] on my own. It's kind of a precursor for what I'm doing with Culture Club in 2012. We'll be doing a proper huge worldwide tour. And a new album."
The reunion falls on the band's 30th anniversary. They nearly hit the road together in 2006, when original bandmates Mikey Craig and Jon Moss announced a Culture Club comeback, but their flamboyant frontman declined to sign on, and plans were soon scrapped.
"I kind of use my writing like a diary, so I write about things that are very personal to me, things that I've experienced, things that have affected me and that I feel strongly about," Boy George (born George Alan O'Dowd) has said about growing as an artist during his 2009 imprisonment. "I've surprised myself, really with my resilience. Yes [prison] did happen, but it feels so long ago now."
Speaking of things that happened long ago, revisit Culture Club at their most brilliant, with the original 1983 video for 'Karma Chameleon.'

Hi-Liner graduates Jesse Hass and Dustin Lindgren join Enderlin/Maple Valley graduate defensive end Dylan Claus on the 11-Man Football East Team in Sunday's 41st annual, WDAY TV-broadcasted North Dakota Shrine Bowl, 4 p.m. at the FargoDome in Fargo, N.D.
Hass, an offensive lineman, was First Team All-Region and First Team All-State, and became Valley City's Most Valuable Offensive Lineman and a Large Dairy Queen Blizzard Award winner — for having performed a pancake block this season — at Nov. 24, 2013's Hi-Liner Football Award Ceremony.
Lindgren received a Hi-Liner Training Award and was the team's Most Valuable Back/Receiver.
Claus and Lindgren have signed football letters of intent at Valley City State University.
Both the East and West teams reported to practice on Tuesday at Mayville State University and will complete six days of training and ceremony with Sunday's 7 a.m.-to-7:45 a.m. continental breakfast, 7 a.m.-to-8:30 a.m. player checkout and 10:30 a.m. banquet at the Holiday Inn in Fargo before Sunday's 11-Man Game that precedes the 7 p.m. 9-Man Game.

Very slow X startup

nVidia is most likely in damage control mode for the past 9 months, trying to recover from their disastrous FX flop. As a result of those bad engineering decisions I would submit that perhaps all energies are being refocused to reclaim some lost business with a major unpublished redesign effort. And in doing so, the company may have undergone some restructuring that currently affects the entire organization. Perhaps some financial problems are on the horizon.
So you see, our slow X startup problem pales in comparison
On a more positive note though, the rise of the Canadian dollar (or the demise of the US dollar if you wish) means the ATI video cards will probably cost more. Some rumors say the US dollar can slide even further in the 1.10-1.15 range which would give nVidia a real boost.
Within a year, the landscape may have changed completely so that nVidia, by regaining maket shares, could bevote resources to customer support - and fix our damn problem.

I'm a (very!) new user to Daz Studio and I'm trying it out to see if I can use it to create figures and animations for the video games I make.
To do this I often need a bunch of different angles on the same animation, sometimes they're easy to set up (like just the four angles North, South, East, West) but sometimes I need loads of images only a few degrees apart from each other.
Is there a script that will let me set a start and end angle for the scene (or the camera) and a number of steps in between, then batch render all those different angles into separate images saved on my disk?
If that one doesn't exist, is there one which will let me provide a list of camera positions and angles (or scene rotations)? I can write code to calculate the angles if needed.
I'm currently using Daz 4.0. I'm a little worried about switching to 4.5 because I couldn't find any documentation on how the new qt scripting language links to entities in Daz Studio.

Thomas, B.A.; (2012) Improved brain PET quantification using partial volume correction techniques. Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
Positron emission tomography (PET) suffers from a degradation in quantitative accuracy due to a phenomenon known as the partial volume effect (PVE). The effects are due to the limited spatial resolution of the scanner. Methods that correct for PVEs are known as partial volume correction (PVC) techniques and are either data-driven or make use of anatomical information from other modalities such as magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. This thesis reports investigations into PVC techniques for improving the quantification of brain amyloid PET tracers. These tracers image amyloid plaque aggregation in-vivo, which is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. An extension to existing anatomy-based PVC methods is reported. Region-based voxelwise (RBV) correction has been shown to reduce PVE-induced regional bias and variance when compared to commonly applied PVC techniques. This has been proven in phantom studies and observed in clinical data. In addition, RBV has been used to demonstrate that white matter variability exists in two different amyloid tracers. This finding has implications for the application of PVC in amyloid imaging and also how scans should be normalised. Alternative reference regions were investigated in two amyloid PET tracers. The brain stem, in combination with PVC, was found to result in the strongest agreement between tracers. Anatomy-based PVC techniques rely on parcellations of structural images. These parcellations are not necessarily representative of the PET data. A further extension to RBV is proposed which iteratively modifies the parcellations to find an optimal PVC in terms of the observed PET data. This novel technique reduces quantification errors due to PET-MR mismatch and has the potential to provide an additional parameter of 'functional volume change' in longitudinal studies.

Hearing everyone talking about the bullpen and comments along the line of "...even I could hit of that guy", is part of the problem mental?
While I am sure that mentally, our bullpen has got to be pretty exhausted by now, I wonder how other teams see our bullpen.
Take the Yankees and Mariano Rivera. Most fans felt that the game was over once it got to Rivera, and I am sure other teams had to have that same feeling. It really wasnt until the Red Sox got to him back in 2004 that he started to appear human. Once the Sox believed they could hit off him, they started finding ways to do so.
Flash back to our bullpen. While no one except Coffey has had a strong year, it cannot help the cause that other teams have to see our bullpen as a batting tee. There is a part of this game that is very phsycological, and the way other teams view our bullpen cant help.
Obviously, we dont have a great 'pen, but I have to think that a big part of the struggles this year will be that until someone starts getting hitters out, or we bring up young arms from the minors that hitters are less familiar with, hitters will feel good about facing the pen. I imagine they feel that if they just get past the starters, then its time to play home run derby. So not only does our bullpen suck lately, but the hitters they face must just be dripping with eagerness and confidence.

C&N Donates $4,000 to Jersey Shore YMCA Renovation CampaignPosted Wednesday, 01 July 2015 01:35 | Filed under C&N News
Sean Simcox, center, C&N Jersey Shore community office manager, presents C&N's donation to Barbara Schmouder, left, Jersey Shore YMCA Advisory Board chairperson and Laura A. McMahon, right, Jersey Shore YMCA executive director.
WELLSBORO, PA – Citizens & Northern Bank has donated $4,000 to the River Valley Regional YMCA – Jersey Shore Branch's building renovation campaign. The campaign was initially launched five years ago, but plans were put on hold due to the downturn in the economy, said Laura McMahon, Jersey Shore YMCA executive director. The $350,000 renovation is being paid for entirely through fund raising efforts.
Plans call for construction to be complete this fall. Renovations to the more than 100-year-old facility include a 3,000 square foot Wellness Center that will accommodate treadmills, ellipticals, and strength training equipment. A new 1,600 square foot aerobics room will provide space for group exercise classes, as well as popular programs such as Zumba and Silver Sneakers. Rounding out the new fitness areas will be a new 900 square foot free-weight room.
Separate from the fitness areas, another part of the renovation includes the creation of a new Teen Center. Once completed, teens will be able to use the new room to work on homework, socialize with friends, or enjoy games like air hockey, billiards, or sports, said McMahon.
"On behalf of C&N I am extremely honored to be able to contribute to the Jersey Shore YMCA's renovation project. It is a much needed and welcome improvement that will benefit the entire community and C&N is proud to be a part of this project," said Sean Simcox, C&N Jersey Shore community office manager.
"Having been a member of the YMCA for many years and with fond memories of the bowling alley that once was the source of many hours of fun and excitement, it is truly satisfying to see this area finally being brought back to life. The plans for the space are exactly what are most needed and will be welcomed by the entire community. Moving the fitness equipment and weights into this large space will also allow the YMCA to better utilize the space in the rest of the building resulting in a new Teen Center that will certainly fulfill a need within Jersey Shore.
"C&N recognizes that the YMCA is a cornerstone of the community in Jersey Shore and as a community bank is glad to be a part of this renovation," he said.
Citizens & Northern Bank is a local, independent community bank providing complete financial, investment and insurance services through 26 full service offices throughout Cameron, Potter, McKean, Tioga, Bradford, Sullivan and Lycoming counties in Pennsylvania and in Canisteo and Hornell, NY in Steuben County. C&N can be found on the worldwide web at www.cnbankpa.com. The Company's stock is listed on NASDAQ Capital Market Securities under the symbol CZNC.

We have now released new music announcements for Trailerpark Festival 2015 and you can watch all of them on trailerparkfestival.com/videos
We're ready with our art announcements for this years festival, with Richard Colman headlining! Check out the line up so far this year here.
3 days. 40 concerts. Only 500 DKK. Get your ticket today and join this years Trailerpark Festival 2015. billetto.dk/trailerparkfestival
Each year Trailerpark Festival presents a line-up of great contemporary artists who transform the entire festival with unique, handmade artwork that are produced especially for the festival. Expressions of all kinds are showcased on the festival grounds - from installations and live art murals to performance arts and mind blowing light designs. Designers and makers create a parallel
universe by converting old trailers into small colorful hang outs, raised bars, and chill out areas. This fantastic universe creates the optimal setting for our bands and their fans. Over the years we've presented prominent artists like Dark Matters, Frederik Næblerød, HuskMitNavn, Hvass & Hannibal, Obscura, Henrik Vibskov among many others. Stay tuned for new art announcements!
We are thrilled to introduce Trailerpark I/O - a natural progression of the Trailerpark Festival concept, unfolded as a new daytime lineup of talks, exhibitions, makerthons, hackerthons and innovation labs.
So what is I/O all about?
Trailerpark I/O stands for Input/Output and symbolises the discovery of technology, creativity and human interaction. We bring together rebels from multiple and diverse artistic and digital landscapes, to explore technologies, co-create radical solutions, showcase new talents and share ideas. Oh, and of course have a lot of fun together.
By becoming a volunteer at Trailerpark Festival, you are a part of making the 9th Trailerpark Festival happen. At the same time you become a part of a movement of people who share a passion for art and music. Volunteering also gives you insight into what it takes to produce a festival as well as getting the opportunity to create a great network of new friends and future collaborators. The volunteers at Trailerpark Festival are each given an all-days wristband and when working you are a part of a team of like-minded people. Apply here
The festival is organized and produced by the creative community ArtRebels, who started Trailerpark in the summer of 2007 - as a party for a few hundred people in an empty warehouse. Since then it has grown into a highly anticipated summer festival for a very dedicated crowd.
Trailerpark is hitting the road in 2015. Instead of only growing the festival in Copenhagen we have decided to go travel and we would like you to join us. It is in the spirit of Trailerpark Festival to seek new adventures and connect with more creative and trailblazing communities around the world. Now we turn this nature into a new mobile Trailerpark concept. 2015 is the year where we begin to share our unique Trailerpark Festival with more cities. Stay tuned!

The older adult population is rapidly growing, and more are experiencing hunger across Colorado and the nation. It's estimated that more than 1 in 7 Colorado seniors are unsure of when or where they would get their next meal.
After a lifetime of working, many Colorado seniors are left to fend for themselves and face the question: Do I buy needed medication or food? Some just do not have the resources to access or prepare food, in order to maintain their health and independence.
A number of food assistance programs and community resources, such as SNAP and community meal sites, are specifically designed to meet the needs of older Coloradans—from dietary restrictions to limited transportation.
Find out what food assistance is available , where meal sites are located, and how you can access these resources.
Older adults (age 60 years and above) can interact with others from their community and enjoy a free nutritious meal at sites across Colorado. Community (congregate) meal sites provide an opportunity to meet new people and build relationships. All meals must meet older adult dietary guidelines and are approved by a dietician. To locate a nearby community meal site, click on the map below and provide an address.
What food resources are available?
A number of nutrition programs exist to meet the needs of older Coloradans. They include:
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps
- Child and Adult Care Food Program for Seniors (CACFP)
- Commodity Supplemental Food Program for Seniors (CSFP)
- The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)
- Home-delivered meals (like Meals on Wheels)
- Congregate feeding programs (community meal sites)
- Adult day and residential care programs
- Food banks and food pantries
How can I access these food resources?
You can find out more about available options by calling our confidential Hunger Free Hotline at (855) 855-4626 or in the Denver Metro area at (720)-382-2920, visiting Your Neighborhood Food Truck, our mobile program, or by contacting our Older Adult Nutrition team at 303-228-7945.
Hunger Free Colorado works with older Coloradans to ensure that they have access to adequate, nutritious food. Our Older Adult Nutrition team can provide one-on-one assistance to determine eligibility for federal and charitable nutrition programs, answer questions about nutrition assistance programs, as well as help complete any needed applications or forms.

Below is the poem entitled Angel becoming which was written by poet
Forber. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Helen Forber
Iridescent curls,
lay askew around his neck.
The wind they blew them upward,
Lifting off his chest.
His skin so pale and flawless,
That it almost hurt to look.
He unfurled his wings of beauty,
And stretched them from their nook.
They spread across the open sky,
Blocking out the sun.
Then wrapped them round his torso,
After he was done.
He stood their looking sideways,
Amidst the open fields.
And when he turned to gaze at me,
His eyes they seemed unreal.
His pupils interchangeable,
Beside their snowy grey.
And when he closed them briefly,
Long lashes took their place.
So black that they lay striking,
Against his chiselled cheeks.
So perfect they were haunting,
They could make the Greek gods weep.
He looked down at his feet,
Which lay bare in dewy grass.
And as he made this movement,
I couldn't help but gasp.
My angel stood their naked,
With nothing but his wings.
And they were golden honey,
Who's colours seemed to sing.
His chest lay unadorned,
Except a single chain.
On it lay a pendant,
Within a silver frame.
As he turned to meet me,
With eyes that were alight.
I couldn't help but notice,
He smiled with pure delight.
He crossed the space between us,
With a single easy stride.
And wrapped his arms around me,
We set off in twilight skies.

Date of Stay: July, 2010
Pull thru sites were so small I had to BACK UP to get out. They had enough rules to sink a ship. Separate additional rule sheet if you have a dog.Barely made it through the roads there with our trailer. This was the most expensive place we stayed at on our trip from Texas to Massachusetts and offered the least. Needed sales receipt to access pool... Now Really. Power went out in our area at 7:00 am next morning and no one acted like they cared. Blame the electric company. Office and other areas had power. Wanted to charge $1.10 for a lame 6 oz. cup of coffee. I WON'T VISIT HERE EVER AGAIN.
Date of Stay: January, 2010
Excellent park with nice graveled sites. Pleasant owners that went out of their way to help. Park is expanding and upgrading, as this is a newer park, making our stay there excellent. This is our second time staying here and next year we will be here for the winter as they are right across the street from the beach and have a pleasant climate and not in an overcrowded area. I highly recommend it to anyone going down the gulf coast.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
Old Campground. Home made trailers there with permanent tenants. Roads and sites need major regrooming. Lots of stray cats and the smell of cat urine everywhere. Owners need to update/upgrade. There are nicer places up the street for less $$$. Wi-Fi here worked intermittent. Will not stay there again.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
Nice park on bluff in town. Friendly managers and well kept and nicely landscaped. Will definitely stay here again. We are here for 1 week and would stay longer if it were not for previous commitments.
Date of Stay: April, 2009
Excellent park across from Matagorda Bay and white sand and shell beach. Can see ocean from site. Friendly owners with dog walk area. No office or restrooms due to FEMA regulations. Nicely groomed gravel roads same as beach. Can drive or walk across street to beach. Would highly recommend. New park and owners are constantly upgrading facilities. Satellite TV available for free. Owners supply receiver. A+++ in my book.

Famous Nicaraguan Selection 4000 Toro
6 x 50 - Natural - Bundle of 20
Nicaraguan 4000 cigars are handmade at a small, out-of-the-way factory somewhere in lovely, downtown Nicaragua. Blended with robust Nicaraguan longfillers tamed by mild Ecuadorian Connecticut wrappers, these medium to full-bodied cigars offer-up superb construction and burn. Each cigar reveals an earthy-spicy smoke with a breath of sweetness and toasted nuts on the finish. Order a bundle and try this enticing, full-flavored blend that's become one of the best buys on this site, or anywhere.
These are my new everyday cigar. They are constructed well, burn great, nice taste. I usually find a lot of bundled cigars have tight draws on a lot of cigars in the bundle, I ve smoked four bundles of these so for, three of the bundles all the cigars had a great draw, one bundle had about seven cigars with a tight draw. Hopefully it was just a aberration.
This cigar was amazing, it was my first toro so i was skeptical especially one like this. but i was really impressed, im a big fan of leathery smokes and this hit the spot! its not too strong though. its got a nice mild smooth flavor, and the burn on it was pretty good too, nice long lasting just how i like em. i would highly reccomend this cigar.
well constructed, even burn and consistently good flavor ... for the price, it's tough to beat
I bought the bundle pack of all the #000 series Nicaraguan and honestly these are the best in there. They burn even have a easy draw, dont fall apart and have the smoothest taste of them all. If you are looking for a good everyday smoke i suggest these especially in the toro size for the good pull.

Cadillac Changes Logo on All of Its Cars
Cadillac is in the midst of a resurgence, and the debut of the gorgeous ATS Coupe at the Detroit Auto Show today makes its future look even brighter.
At the reveal, GM's luxury brand made another, less spectacular announcement: It's changing its logo. The new look was first shown in August on the Elmiraj concept, and now we know it will be on all new cars starting mid-2014.
The wreath is gone, and the crest is lower and wider. "Sleek and streamlined," Cadillac says, just like its current lineup.
"This new Crest matches the lower, longer, leaner mantra of our current car designs," Andrew Smith, Cadillac's executive design director, said in a press release. The crown last seen before the 2000 redesign has not reappeared — no need to look cocky.
Here's a closer look:
And the evolution. Click to enlarge:
General Motors Reveals New Cadillac ELR
The Chevy Volt is now the top-selling plug-in car in America with sales having tripled in 2012. General Motors, building on the Volt's popularity and technology, just introduced the two-door plug-in Cadillac ELR at the Detroit Auto Show.
Besides having a different body, the ELR will have big 20-inch wheels. GM promises, an "engaging driving experience" to go along with the new look. The chassis and front suspension have both been altered from the Volt's to provide a more responsive feel, said Caldwell.
The Cadillac ELR relies on the same propulsion system as the Volt but, in the Cadillac, it has been reprogrammed to provide more performance at a slight cost in efficiency. The Volt relies on a gasoline engine to provide additional energy after about 35 miles.
Unlike the Volt, the ELR will allow the driver to run the gasoline engine before it's really needed, saving more of the battery's charge for later. That way, GM suggests, a driver could elect save some electric charge for city driving, where a battery driven car is most efficient. The car will also have Cadillac's "safety alert seat" which vibrates to warn a driver of hazards such as a car in a blind spot. This feature is already found on the Cadillac XTS and ATS sedans.
Pricing for the Cadillac ELR will be announced closer to its planned production date, but GM doesn't plan to sell a lot of them. "An additional aspect of ELR's appeal to will be exclusivity," said Bob Ferguson, Cadillac global vice president, said in a statement. "It will be a specialized offering produced in limited numbers." Only about 10,000 of the cars will be produced each for year for sale in the U.S. and, later on, in Europe and China, Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell said.
When you get your new ELS, be sure to make it even more fuel-efficient by getting its windows tinted by Midwest Glass Tinters. Tinted windows not only make your car look sleeker, but also help to keep the inside temperature constant, so you use less energy on air conditioning and heating your car. For more information, or to make an appointment, contact Midwest Glass Tinters at 847-438-1133.

Luxury Cars Come Back in 2012
On the heels of the recession, global automakers are racing to meet the increased demand for luxury vehicles. At this week's Detroit Auto Show, automakers unveiled nearly 2 dozen new luxury models or concept cars, expressing confidence that luxury sales will boom this year. "We see success…in very direction we look," said Johan de Nysschen, head of Audi's American arm.
Luxury cars and trucks — costing over $35,000 — account for 13% of the U.S. auto market. While auto sales have increased slowly over the past year, luxury car sales are forecast to grow by more than 10% in 2012, outpacing the rest of the auto market.
In their new luxury car, buyers will expect the latest technology, everything from WiFi internet hotspots to night vision displays to infotainment systems that link over Bluetooth with up to 10 devices simultaneously. Refinement has replaced raw horsepower with reduction in interior noise reduction taking the lead.
The 2012 Cadillac ATS was the most notable unveiling at the Detroit show this year. The ATS is an all-new small car that GM wants to take on the world's most popular luxury sedan – the BMW 3-Series. BMW also renewed the 3-Series this year with BMW execs confident they can take on any comers. It appears that the real competition among luxury brands will be in the SUV's, which are as popular to luxury seekers in Europe and China as they are here. Fuel costs and tough regulations have forced automakers to find ways to power luxury SUVs with smaller, more efficient engines. The Buick Encore, the U.S. version of the Audi Q3 and a refreshed Acura RDX — all smaller SUV's with engines less than six cylinders, were revealed this week. Porsche will join the category with its own small SUV next year called the Cajun. Even Bentley, the British builder of six-figure sedans, will present its own SUV within a few years.
Another driver behind the return of luxury cars is the rebound of Japanese automakers, following a year of deadly natural disasters Toyota's Lexus Division, which lost its spot as the top US luxury brand to BMW in 2011, will introduce nine new or updated models this year.
2012 promises to be an exciting year in the automotive industry as customers react to new and updated luxury cars, filled with the latest technology.
