GeForce4 MX440 [CRASHES] 4191
none of the nvidia drivers have ever worked for my system, and the latest ones 4191 are no difrent. err.. actualy the new ones dont hang the system but they trap the display requireing me to shell in remotaly and reboot the system.
there is something seariously wrong with them and im doing everything right.
I have a PcChips M810L Motherboard with a AMD Duron 1000mhz (Morgan core) with the latest bios patch applied and here is where I think the prolbem is.. Ive tested the Card on very similar PcChips M815L Motherboard and had no prolbems. (the systems had a _very_ similar software configuration as well, the card also runs well on a Pentium2 board just fine)
ive even gone so far as to speak with some XFree86 developers on this.. and im currentaly using there 2D "nv" driver without any trouble at all (except for the preformance)
so.. what I want to know is.. should I keep trying to document and debug this prolbem, and e-mailing your support only to be ignored?
ive been working on this since september. here is my logfile.
Not exactly the same bug but similar enough....
Have a GF2 MX400 64 MB on an Athlon 1800+ w/ 512 MB RAM (the MB is an Asus A7V266).
The symptoms: Usually all works fine. However, precise combinations of playing Q3, restarting X (such as in a logout/login operation) and playing a video file (avi, mpeg, etc.) afterwards will cause a crash (black screen with colored lines, usually a deformed mouse pointer still survives (and works)). However X cannot be restarted, I can't switch VTs, CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't work and since I can't remotely connect to my machine I must ALT-SYSRQ-S/U/B to reboot.
Since installing MDK 9.0 + 4191 drivers this happens less often than before but it's more random...
GeForce4 MX440 [CRASHES] 4191
I am also currently working on this same bug. It affects both PCchips 810 w/ Geforce4 (TB 2100+) and Abit kg7 w/ geforce3(TB 1400).
Install 4191 drivers
X crashes
3-4 seconds later Bash Freezes.
software configuration works on every other test system.
I wanted you to know your not crazy. The 4191 nVdrivers seem to have a real issue.
If you make any progress on this please share.
Well the symptoms are present since well before the 4191 drivers for me.
The workaround I found is that whenever I log out, I restart the X server before login in again. If I don't do this, video players make X crash (or Quake can cause the whole system to crash, which seems to be a very serious situation -- only a SysRq B can reboot the machine).
But it doesn't seem to be the same bug as you. Mine is more like this.
hrm....im gettin a new board with that(video) chipset... however i have an msi motherboard, will i still get that prob???
Still having AGP prob
I am having the same problem with similar hardware:
SiS 730 host
PCChips 810L
eVGA GeForce4 MX 440
Mandrake 9.1
XFree86 4.3
nVidia 1.0-4363
The only way I can get the nvidia driver to work is by setting NvAGP to 0, as in this thread:
In any other AGP-enabled configuration, the system freezes shortly after X (KDE or Gnome) is loaded. Oddly, the mouse still moves but does not click. Must hard reboot.
The nv driver works OK, but with poorer performance. Even with AGP disabled, nvtv crashes when I try to turn the TV-view on, which is the reason I bought this card in the first place. Sucks to be me - help appreciated.
More AGP info
1 Attachment(s)
I can't get MX440 to work in AGP or TwinView, as stated above. Here are the two log files to prove it.
Thanks for any help!
More TwinView info
1 Attachment(s)
And the twinview attempt, connected to a monitor and an SVHS vcr (which thens goes to TV). I have nothing plugged into the DVI/flatscreen thing.
Thanks for any help!
My Fix...
Well, I was having the same problems with my new MB (ECS L7S7A2 -- SiS 746 chipset). It would try to startx, fail, and seconds later bash would crash.
If you look in /var/log/messages and search for nvidia, you may have a message simular to:
Jun 9 18:16:18 dhcppc2 kernel: 0: nvidia: Can't find an IRQ for your NVIDIA card!
Jun 9 18:16:18 dhcppc2 kernel: 0: nvidia: Please check your BIOS settings.
Turns out I just need to set Assign IRQ to PCI VGA to true (even though I am using an AGP card).
Hope this helps!

DETROIT -- Torii Hunter Jr. might be ready to play for Notre Dame next season after all. Speaking at TigerFest Saturday, Torii Hunter Sr. said his son is progressing ahead of schedule after breaking his left femur during practice for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl at the beginning of January. "He's doing a lot better," Hunter Sr. said. "He's on crutches, but he's driving to rehab right now. He's riding a bike now., so he's excited about that. The doctors are all excited. They're like, 'Man, this is crazy. He shouldn't be doing this right about now.' But he's young and his body's going to heal very quickly." Hunter Jr. underwent surgery Jan. 2, and the recovery time is generally six to eight months. "He's possibly going to be back at the end of June and July," Hunter Sr. said. "He should be able to be 100 percent, so he'll be ready before summer practice. "He'll be able to get some reps in and different things like that. I don't know if they're going to redshirt him to let h...

The Eighth Annual Got Hope Walkathon occurred on Saturday, May 17, 2014 with great success. We would like to thank all of our participants, volunteers and sponsors for all of your help. We raised more money and had more participants than ever before. Planning for the 9th Annual Got Hope Walkathon is currently underway! One of the ways we chose to remember the last walkathon by asking some of our volunteers about their experience.
"This years 8th Annual Got Hope Walkathon required a lot of behind the scenes efforts. Despite a little rain at the end of the day, I would call the day a success. Knowing that the money we raised and donated to Life with Cancer and Crisis Link will help so many people makes the whole event worthwhile. But, what touches me the most is seeing people come out to the Walkathon to support finding a cure for cancer and raising awareness for suicide prevention."
-SGA President Kristin Erickson
If you have any questions about the walkathon or would like to help with planning, feel free to email email@example.com.

Will Max be a tax break? Can Fido help with FICA?
A bill making the rounds on Capitol Hill marries two feel-good propositions -- tax cuts and pet ownership -- to generate a novel idea: A tax break of up to $3,500 per person for pet care expenses.
The measure is a legislative long shot. But it's been championed by a veteran Hollywood tough guy and by a conservative Michigan congressman, and has drawn the enthusiastic support of animal rights groups eager to promote pet ownership during economic down times.
"We think this is as much a health care bill as any," said Nancy Perry, vice president of government affairs at the Humane Society of the United States. "It's a human health issue to ensure that pets are provided with better care because of the role they play in our families."
The measure even has a snappy acronym: the HAPPY Act, as in Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years.
"What a pro-active way to be able to help the economy and change the culture in this country around animals," Robert Davi, a veteran actor ("The Goonies," "Die Hard," "License to Kill") who was a main force behind the bill's introduction, told ABCNews.com in a telephone interview.
"This money goes back into the economy, and it encourages people to understand the social responsibilities we have toward animals," Davi said.
Betsy Dribben, vice president of government relations for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is realistic about the bill's prospects. Her group is supporting the bill but taking a wait-and-see attitude before pressing members of Congress.
But with more attention being paid to the fate of pets whose owners lose their homes, she said interest is growing on Capitol Hill and beyond about how the government can respond.
"There is a move afoot. There is a general acknowledgement that people really care about their pets," Dribben said. "Taking care of pets does cost money, and during the dramatic decline of people's income and the shaky economy, any possibility of assisting people in meeting those costs should be looked at."
The Humane Society estimates that 39 percent of U.S. households own at least one dog, while 38 percent own at least one cat. About 62 percent of American households own a pet.
The tax break would apply to more exotic pets as well, so long as they're being owned within the bounds of the law. Any "legally owned, domesticated, live animal" would qualify, under the terms of the bill.
According to the ASPCA, a cat costs about $670 a year on average to take care of, while dogs are about $200 a year more expensive. The tax break would be capped at $3,500 per person, regardless of how many animals a taxpayer owned.
Davi, the owner of four dogs and a cat, said the concept of using the tax code to promote pet ownership occurred to him a few months ago, in thinking about the stimulus package passed by Democrats in Congress -- a package, he said, that he opposed.
Davi's cousin runs a prominent California animal rescue foundation, D.E.L.T.A. Rescue, and is always looking for ideas that would get more pets adopted, he said. Why not let people deduct expenses like pet food and veterinarian bills from their taxes, like child care expenses or mortgage interest can help reduce your tax burden?

I'm not happy with it and thus not in the mood to finish it, but it's still OK as a "speedpaint".
Maybe I'll want to finish it later when I have more skill...
Aarrrrgh my room is almost 30°C hot... and my notebook's CPU is almost boiling. No good! I'll turn off the computer and do some traditional sketching now.

Your SB is just gorgeous to look through. I'm not an artist and I'm not sure if it's close but your art has that neoclassical feel about it, and it's just beautiful.
it's not the end that matters but the journey

Wow. Those cast study paintings and the figure drawings are jaw dropping magnificent. And the with classical studies the line sensitivity really reveals the form well. Keep at it Your doing a stellar job.

Alien, thanks!
Nele, danke! (here's some coffee). The still life took a couple of days, which is like lightspeed, at least for angel academy standards XD
Alex and aldodark, thank you
I went to Rome on Monday and Tuesday together with my awesome boyfriend, and it totally rocked (even though we didn't get to see all the Caravaggio paintings there). Especially the ancient Roman ruins were mindblowing! I think I know now what "Stendhal Syndrome" is.
New digital painting, I'm titling it simply "Eighty Nine".
It's a self portrait in the year 2078-2079... actually I would have to turn 300 years old to paint all the pictures I want to paint, if I include my procastination issues into the calculation. But let's have realistic goals! XD Turning eighty-nine one day (and still being able to paint then) is good enough for me!

When Mario Falcone was spotted snogging the face of a girl in Marbella, we were dying to find out exactly who the girl in question was - especially as his ex Lucy Mecklenburgh was strutting around showing off her incredible bikini body just down the road.
And last night's episode of The Only Way is Marbs introduced us to Mario's new girl, a former Miss Universe runner up called Beth.
It was actually Mario's former BFF, Little Chris, who first spotted Beth and went to chat her up.
However, Mario swiftly stepped in and whisked Beth outside where he proceeded to snog her.
[Mario Falcone caught snogging Beth on a yacht in Marbs]
[Lucy Mecklenburgh starts seeing TOWIE's Dan Osbourne]
But despite spending much of his time in Marbella with Beth, when we spoke to Mario after he'd returned from Marbs, he told us that she wasn't his girlfriend.
Mario told us exclusively (in the video below): "I am single so... she [Beth] is a lovely girl, don't get me wrong, she would be perfect girlfriend material but I've just got out of a relationship so I want to have fun with the boys."
[Lucy Mecklenburgh reveals the secrets to her body with new exercise video]
But Lucy was the one who got the last laugh, turning up in Marbs to surprise her pals after previously saying she wasn't going on the trip to avoid Mario.
As she strutted towards the pool area in that unbelievable white swimming costume and wedges, ALL the boys turned to gawp at her body.
[Get fit in four minutes in ultimate bikini body work out]
Tom Pearce was first to admire Lucy's newly toned body, but then Dan Osbourne waded in and called her 'a sort'.
And if rumours are to be believed, Lucy is now dating Tom. A source told the Daily Star: "The relationship is still in the early stages but it's been looking very good so far. They've been having a lot of fun getting to know each other.
"Spending time together in Spain has worked wonders and they're starting to get really close. She's had bad luck with men so here's hoping this relationship works out."
We're keeping our fingers crossed!

Factors To Think About Before Committing To A (User)name
Not to be dramatic, but picking a really good username is kind of a big deal. Think of it like this, your username, and the persona that you craft around it, is the foundation of your business as an adult entertainer. This is your brand and putting in the work now to make it the best you can will save you time, energy, heart and headaches down the road. So in this post, we're going to look at some of the factors that you should consider before committing to a (user)name.
Keep it short.
While technically you could have a username that is up to 30 characters long on some platforms, I'd advise that going as short as possible is best. Why? As you can see from the nifty infographic below, Twitter has a 15 character limit for their usernames. So if you plan to incorporate using social media to help market yourself, being able to have the same username across various websites will help keep your branding consistent, and doing so helps existing or potential clients find you.
- Niteflirt: 1-30 Characters
- AdultPhonePal: 5-20 Characters
- TalkToMe: 5-32 Characters
- SinfulCall: 6 – 16 Characters
- ExtraLunchMoney: 3 – 20 Characters
- Twitter: 1-15 Characters (@Username) or 20 Characters Real Name
- Skype: 6 – 32 Characters (alphanumeric, no spaces or special characters)
- Facebook: ?-50 Characters
- Google: ?-60 Characters
- Yahoo: ?-32 Characters
- Email: 64 Characters for Local (Before@) and 254 Character Combined (LOCAL@DOMAIN)
Keep it simple.
Again, while some platforms will allow you to use spaces, numbers, and/or symbols in your username, I'd highly advise against it. Also, if at all possible, I'd also steer clear of funky substitutions (like M4dison instead of Madison) and truncations. I know, this makes it harder to find an available name, but your primary goal in picking a name is that it be very easily remembered by clients. Why remembered? You have to keep in mind lots of clients don't save bookmarks or even go out of their way to frequently erase their browser history to keep their fun time with you secret (and away from the judgeful eyes of their significant other, boss or IT department). So when their cock or clit is hard and they're looking for action, you don't want to lose an interaction to someone else because the couldn't remember your name. Make it easy for them to give you their money.
Get inspired.
Maybe it's the nerdy RPG gamer in me, but I absolutely love hunting for the perfect username to fit a character I'm developing. There are heaps of resources available online, just doing a google search for "baby names" brings up more than 605 million results. Use resources available to help flesh out your character. Is the character in a specific age range? Why not make it a bit more authentic by checking out some of the most popular names from their year of birth? Life happens in the details and thinking about the little things like this can really help you find the voice and personality of the character you're slipping into. And being able to stay in character, providing the best experience for your clients, will keep them eagerly coming back for more.
Do your homework.
Market research is a huge part of any business, and the adult entertainment industry is no different. Search the platforms that you're interested in to see how many other entertainers have similar names to your short list of potential usernames. I'd much rather be in a search result of 5 than a search result of 200 on a platform where every peer is competition. Also, if you're thinking of targeting a specific niche or fetish, make sure there isn't someone with a similar name already well established on the platform that you're most interested in. Besides causing confusion for clients, it'll look like you're trying to benefit from the history the other person has worked so hard to build for themselves, and that's just not classy. Leave that those catty bullshit games for the silly bitches of the world, cause you are not one.
Check availability.
Use the variety of tools available to help expedite your search. Nothing sucks more than getting your heart set on a username, getting a few accounts created, and then finding out one account you'll really really need isn't available. Check out sites like NameChk.com, knowem.com and NameCheckr.com to check the status of social media usernames AND domains. Because remember, we're building your brand and making sure the web address is available is another key brick in building a solid foundation of your brand.
Thanks for checking out the first installment in my PSO 101 series! More of these are in the works. Let me know what you think with by adding your thoughts in the comment section below, shouting out on Twitter (@SarahDoesPhSex), or if shy, feel free to email me at email@example.com.

Mets' Harvey Spending Time Wisely During Rehab
By Sports Talk Florida

Last month Matt Harvey talked the Mets into letting him do his Tommy John elbow surgery rehab in New York rather than at their complex in Florida, so naturally he's been taking in the local scenery.
Mike Puma of the New York Post reports that Harvey "was spotted at Sunday's Knicks game alongside British fashion model Asha Leo." (Not to be confused with American fashion model Anne V, whom Harvey dated last year.)

Packing light???
Hi, Ok, so this weekend we are doing a trial pack run. We are not leaving until May, and I realize how completely nerdy that is! But, we are traveling with 3 kids (ages 16, 13, and 9), and while we've traveled quite a bit, we've not been to Europe together. So, I re-read Rick's suggestions about packing, and I think I gasped when I re-read that he means ONE bag. Not one bag and a carry one, but ONE bag. So, I need some advice. We have a good assortment of suitcases (we got Rick's newer, smaller rolling bags at his travel seminar last September), but I had always assumed each kid would also have a small backpack to carry books, entertainment, snacks, etc. Way off base? So, time for a poll. Do you travel with one bag? A bag and a light carry on? Should we consolidate clothes and take 4 rolling bags and a few lighter backpacks? I'd love your combined knowledge! We are traveling to Paris, Rome, Florence, the CT, and the Berner Oberland for three weeks. Flight from Paris to Rome and trains the rest. Many thanks!

Google, the little start-up that grew up
Latest update : 2008-11-10
From a tiny search engine to the massive company now present in most new tech sectors, Google's success story is for many reasons. A history of this unique phenomenon.
Last September, the ubiquitous search engine Google celebrated its 10th birthday. To mark the occasion, the six coloured letters of homepage logo were accompanied by a cake and some confetti. Nothing more - a birthday without a song and dance.
But the route that this small start-up took to become a Web giant within a decade is everything but ordinary. "What started as a simple search engine became a multinational offering online services of all sorts to ordinary users as well as professionals", says Jonathan Briggs, professor of e-commerce at the
In 2008, the company offered its search engine in 43 languages, going from Norwegian to Chinese by way of Byelorussian. The site indexes about one trillion web pages and two billion images. It lists thousands of extracts of university works in Google Scholar and follows live current events with Google News. Not to forget the spectacular Google Earth, which offers a detailed look at Earth from space, on top of which is Google Maps, a cartographic and itinerary search system. It's difficult to imagine what internet search today would be without Google!
Two students in a garage
Google germinated in 1996 as a Stanford student's research project. Larry Page, aka "Backrub" was convinced that the number of entering links (or backlinks) towards a site would measure the importance and usefulness of a site. The 24-year-old wanted to create a tool to quickly list them. He was joined by another student, Sergei Brin, who was then interested in "datamining".
It was in working with their results they had the idea to apply their results to a search engine. To evoke the infinite quantity of information which their system would index, they called it "Google", in reference to googol, 1 followed by hundred billions zeros. At first, they put the engine only on campus, but its reputation for speed and the relevance of its results were fast spread by word of mouth. At the beginning of 1998, Google processed 10,000 requests daily and indexed 60 million URLs. In 2000, they reached a billion.
It was former Sun Microsystems CEO Andy Bechtolsheim who first backed them financially with a 100,000-dollar check - towards a company which still didn't exist. After registering the head office of their start-up in the garage of a friend in
In 1998, the bet seemed won: Online PC Magazine appointed Google as one of 100 best sites of the year. Users followed suit in 2000 by granting Google their first Webby prize. The company, too big for the garage, began a series of moves before becoming established in the legendary Googleplex, the imposing group HQ in
A "research lab" on the side
Google management likes recalling its modest history and the "lab" aspect of the company. According to them, it's one of the keys to their success. "Certainly, the start-up grew up", said Anne-Gabrielle Dauba-Pantanacce of Google
Brin and Page, for example, slip on white overalls routinely for meetings with engineers, or the executive board. To encourage the evolution and creation of new products and services, engineers are encouraged to spend 20 % of their work time on personal projects, explained Gabrielle Dauba-Pantanacce.
Sometimes this creativity results in ambitious partnerships, such as the one recently concluded with Nasa. Sometimes it results, on the contrary, in gags, such as the jokes the site reveals to users every April 1st: MentalPlex, a tool which allows Google to read your thoughts and to guess your request, is an example or Google Romance, to find your soulmate using the search engine …
The group also displays surprising strategies occasionally to entice the best researchers: in 2006, they posted the following equation on a
No other indications, not even the group's logo. Curious math students who solved the problem found a website with a series of mathematical problems which, once resolved correctly, resulted in an interview with Google.
Even the initial public offering of the company in 2004, was "very particular, with a price fixed by bids", said Dauba-Pantenacce. The bet appears to have succeeded, with Google shares dealing well with the current financial crisis. On October 17th, on of the worst days of the market, Google was valued in 373, 92 dollars. In 2008, the turnover of the group increased by 31 % as compared to the previous year, reaching 5.54 billion dollars.
Projects everywhere
Since its creation Google distinguished itself from rivals with its will to launch projects everywhere, to touch everything. "Google has the means to invest in an idea, even if it's not instantly profitable, by saying it will probably be useful later", said Daniel Glazman, founder of Internet programming company Disruptive Innovations.
Like their purchase of Keyhole, a failing company which became Google Earth. In 2004 it was a risky bet. Barely two years later, the American army used this free tool to help victims of hurricane Katrina.
In 2008, in a quite another field, they joined Radiohead to create a music video with only data, without using a camera.
This diversity is without doubt the strength of Google, but also makes for some interesting failures. To those who blame them for rushing headlong without strategy, the "Google Boys" answer that it's all rather worked out well so far. "We don't often talk of strategy… because that is strategic", explained Page to the Time magazine in 2006. "I prefer that people think that we do not know where we are going, rather than inform the competition about our projects", he said.
Convinced that one of their main advantages is the effect of surprise, the group is discreet about its forthcoming projects. The most curious can always check out Google Labs for a sniff of their latest projects …

Treatment Programs
Depending on the needs of the patient, we offer diverse programs that cover the continuum of care in a variety of settings. From community-based programs that help each individual function in his or her family environment, to programs that help patients transition from acute care to rehabilitation treatment, to supported living residential programs, we provide individualized, holistic treatment that honors the whole person, including personality, likes and dislikes, hobbies, family life and profession. Incorporated into all of these programs are our ongoing neuropsychological evaluations. These evaluations help determine the level and type of impaired brain functioning and the pattern of preserved and impaired abilities. These evaluations not only help with an initial assessment, but they also help assess the progress and ultimately the appropriate recommendations for real-life situations, such as driving, returning home, making financial decisions, etc.
Post-Acute Day Neuro
This program allows patients to visit us up to six hours a day, Monday through Friday. During daily therapy, patients receive personal attention in an environment that encourages success. Each patient's treatment is specifically designed around his or her unique needs, offering a clear plan for reinforcing daily living skills and encouraging leisure activities. Each personalized plan is focused on not only improving the patient's mobility, communication, and cognitive abilities, but also enhancing adaptive behaviors.
Post-Acute Residential
Our transitional program is designed for patients who are medically stable, yet require 24-hour individualized, comprehensive rehabilitation to return to their highest level of independence. In addition to cognitive and communication issues, the program focuses on areas such as physical functioning, daily living activities, community integration, leisure activities and behavior management. Patients and families work together with our staff in the proper setting to tailor a program specific to their needs.
Spanish Program
Pate Rehabilitation provides the same specialized care and support in Spanish as we do in English. Spanish-speaking therapists and caregivers, who are also sensitive to cultural differences, work with each patient and family to develop a personalized plan for better results. This includes therapies conducted in Spanish-speaking environments, enabling patients to practice these skills in their own cultural communities. Read More
Supported Living Residential
We provide residents in this program with a safe, secure, and relaxing rural environment in which they receive specialized care and support in the least restricted way possible. We work closely with families, healthcare providers, insurance companies and the resident to create an individual program of life-long support that is sensitive to financial considerations and promotes the best outcome.
Young Adult 16- 18 Years of Age
Young adults from 16-18 are assessed for participation in either a full day treatment or residential program at any one of Pate's locations. Clinical staff with training in adolescent rehabilitation will evaluate each young adult referred to identity level of autonomy, developmental status, and educational need. Each patient's status will be compared with the traditional brain injury rehabilitation needs and a determination made regarding the appropriateness for admission and ability to benefit from a young adult program. Any young adult accepted for admission will be incorporated into rehab services consistent with functional level with an emphasis on greater supervision and educational support.

Realtors in New York state, which like California was one of the last states to sign onto the settlement, remain skeptical. "Certainly any action that will help bring confidence back to troubled New York homeowners and the housing market as a whole is welcome," says Duncan R. MacKenzie, chief executive of the New York State Association of Realtors, in a statement. "However, there are more fundamental [housing] issues that need to be addressed in Washington [D.C.] if New York State and the nation are to return to normalcy."
Which raises the question of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While private lender-serviced foreclosures may push through the pipeline faster now, it's crucial to note that we are still talking about a relatively minute number of distressed loans, out of a relatively small percentage of mortgages in general.
What's missing from this plan is the Government Sponsored Entities better known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While the top five banks engaged in this settlement may seem like financial giants, in terms of mortgages, the GSEs trump them. An estimated 82% of all mortgage bonds are held by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). And as much as 96% of all mortgages that have been written since the downturn are backed by these government-affiliated entities. These GSEs are not involved in this particular settlement and these mortgage relief opportunities do not necessarily apply to the homeowners who have loans through them. In fact, a principal balance reduction program instated by these mortgage giants would cost as much as $100 billion, according to a Federal Housing Finance Agency analysis released last month.
Additionally, homeowners with mortgages held by private sector banks other than the five involved in this settlement will not have access to this "relief plan." (My colleague Dan Fisher notes that as many as nine more banks may still join this settlement, here.)
Also important to note is the fact that other housing incentives where government has been involved have fallen far short of expectations. For example, the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) aided less than a fifth of the estimated five million struggling homeowners it was expected to help. Its lackluster success has even led to the recent launch of a revised version known as HARP 2.
"I think you are going to find that the average American homeowner that's on the verge of losing their home will think this new settlement is a golden parachute for them to stay in it," comments one skeptical Realtor who handles distressed sales in the New York Tristate Area. "And ultimately, after much energy, they will find that this is one more housing-related disappointment."
What do you think? Will this prolong the housing market's woes or help it? Will this reach the homeowners who need it most or fall short, as earlier plans have? Please tell me your thoughts in the Comments section below.

To provide an always best connected service to the end user, the network provider needs to make best use of the various access networks available to the end-user. The infiltration of multi-mode terminals in wireless networks and the introduction of the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) in release 8 of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications make a make-before-break handover an attractive feature to support in the core network, especially for real-time services which have stringent service continuity and packet loss requirements. Proxy Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (PMIPv6) supports multi-homing where a multi-mode device can connect to more than one access network simultaneously. In this paper we extend the standard multi-homing support of PMIPv6 so that a make-before-break handover can be achieved in the EPC PMIPv6 adoption. A test-bed prototype of the scheme is implemented and testing is performed using IPTV as a model service for real time services. The results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the default PMIPv6 scheme in terms of packet loss and handover delay.

When South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley endorsed Mitt Romney in December 2011, it sparked rumors Romney was either considering Haley for a vice presidential nomination or that he would consider her in the future for the position. Now the governor is telling the Wall Street Journal Romney is not considering her for the position.
Gov. Nikki Haley said she isn't under consideration as Mitt Romney's running mate in the race for the White House.
"No, I am not," replied Ms. Haley after being asked is she was being vetted by the Romney campaign.
"I have made it very clear from the very beginning that I love my job, I love South Carolina and I made a promise to the people of my state [to complete my term] and I have to keep it," said Ms. Haley during an interview at the Farnborough International Air Show promoting South Carolina aerospace.
VP speculation continues to swirl with Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, former Governor Tim Pawlenty still on the potentials list.

VIDEO - CCTV captures the moment a woman is held at gunpoint in store raid
Posted: March 11, 2014|
THIS footage shows the terrifying moment a shop owner was held at gunpoint.
Detectives investigating the attempted armed robbery at Granville Stores, in Swadlincote Road, Woodville, last week, have released CCTV footage which shows the suspect, clad in white overalls with a scarf covering his face, pointing a gun at the store's owner Kulwat Rai before turning it on a customer who followed him in a short time later.
The have-a-go hero, who is clearly stunned to see the situation unfolding before him, then took it upon himself to diffuse the situation, appearing to spook the would-be robber before shoving him out through the door.
The drama, from the moment the gunman enters the store until abandoning the robbery attempt, is over in less than a minute.
Derbyshire Police chiefs are hopeful the footage and distinguishable clothing the suspect was wearing will lead to fresh information being brought forward as the hunt to trace him continues nearly a week on.
A spokesman said: "He produced what appeared to be a handgun and demanded cigarettes and cash from a worker, but was confronted by a customer who pushed him out of the shop. The offender then ran down Swadlincote Road towards the ski slope.
"The man police want to trace was white, about 6ft, and was wearing white overalls, black trainers and a scarf covering his nose and mouth. He was also carrying a black drawstring sports-style bag.
"Anyone with information should call Derbyshire Constabulary on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111."
Mrs Rai, who was alone in the shop at the time, said she expected the man to be 'just another customer' and thought nothing of his unusual clothing until he pulled a gun out of his bag, before the customer – known only as David, who is thought to live locally – stepped in.
She said the family-run store had never been targeted in the 26 years that she has owned it.
She said: "He took a gun out and said 'give me everything. It was terrifying. I was on my own."

Perfect Pintuck Poet Shirt 93 93
My favorite GoTo Shirt This is my current favorite shirt. I like it so much I have it in several colors, I wish there were more pastel colors. The material weight is just right to not cling but it also stays cool in hot weather. It drys quickly if wet. July 1, 2015
Wonderful blouse! This is a wonderful blouse. The catalog said that the sizes ran large so I took that into consideration when ordering and it fits perfectly! The fabric is very high quality and the workmanship is superb! I am so happy that I ordered this blouse! June 23, 2015
Fabric is very rough I bought 2 of these shirts. I love the fit and style and the fact that they don't require ironing. But, the fabric is so stiff and scratchy. I've laundered several times with fabric softener and still the shirts rub on my neck. I still rate them 4 stars. June 22, 2015
Perfect Pintuck Poet Shirt I liked the style and fit of this shirt which I ordered first in blue, so I ordered the white before washing the blue one. I followed laundering directions, but the blue shirt came out of the dryer quite wrinkled. It wasn't fashionably wrinkled, just unkempt looking. I tried ironing it when dampened, on increasingly warmer iron settings. The wrinkles stayed in. Returned both as I didn't want to fight with two wrinkled shirts. Alas. . . May 19, 2015
fall of a favorite This used to be my favorite shirt - great for travel, comfortable and really doesn't wrinkle. I have several, but recently ordered another and found that due to a style change, the neck band is 2 inches longer than it had been previously. Makes it look sloppy - and why would a medium size woman need a 20 inch neck! Reported this to customer service hoping that it's just a mistake and not something that others have been requesting because I really want more shirts - but I want them to fit properly. Any comments from others about this? April 20, 2015
Doesn't show wrinkles I love this blouse, I have it in white, green, plum, turquoise and now tangerine. It is easy to slip on and doesn't wrinkle. I hope that it will be offered in a soft yellow. The tangerine is a rich color! April 14, 2015
Not Up to Your Usual Standards I am a long-time customer. I have 6 long-sleeved Microfiber shirts and 2 short sleeved plus 2 pintucked poet shirts aling with other slacks and skirts.. I have worn all with pride. My daughter admired the poet shirt so I purchased her one for Christmas 2015. She worn it today while visiting from out of town. I was appalled. The fabric is flimsey and definitely not no-iron. What happened? Go back to your other manufacturer. The new poet shirt is not up to snuff. You should put some negatives reviews at the front of the list. April 7, 2015
Liked the first so well, bought another Good medium weight fabric with slightly textured finish which adds style, Great look over slim pants. Wash, dry, hang up and wear. I think I will enjoy this shirt a lot! April 1, 2015

Historical Traveler Reviews Hibiscus Suites - Sarasota / Siesta Key
Not walking to the beach
Wrongly advertises proximity to the beach. We researched and were also told over the phone that this hotel was 4-blocks and a 10-minute walk to Siesta Key Beach. Be advised, this hotel is not walking distance to any beach! Otherwise nice enough with good overall value for the area.
Very nice place
My husband and I spent 6 nights at the Hibiscus Suites Inn in Feb. 2006. We found the staff to be pleasant and the accommodations very nice; the furniture is comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The location is ideal for the area. The only drawback was the lack of cable TV (no PBS) but that's a minor issue. We didn't go down there (from NH) to watch television anyway, but would have liked to watch a favorite news program. We recommend the Hibiscus Suites to others--it's a very nice place and it's clear that the owners/managers are interested in doing a good job.
Excellent ... our "every year" new place to go
We loved the Hibiscus Suites Inn. The staff was amazingly friendly. The rooms and beds were awesome!
The location PERFECT, the pool beautiful. We used the grill and cooked in our room some to save money.
But we were able to go a few extra places because the hotel was so reasonably priced ... we even stayed an extra day.
We will stay at the Hibiscus Suites again and again!!
A Steal
My wife and I stayed at Hibiscus Suites Inn April 2005 for six nights and we were more than thrilled when we got there. We were a little bit scared before because the price was so low and most places around their are a lot steeper but we were going on vacation on limited funds and just wanted a place that wasn't trashy so we could hit the beach every day. We got a lot more than that. The rooms are Very Clean and look exactly like the pictures on the website, the pool is a little decieveing because even though it is very nice and clean, it is right off the road, but it wasn;t a big deal because when you have one of the most beautiful beaches in the United States less than a mile away who needs the pool. I'm planning on returning there in 2007, I would go sooner but my wife is expecting a baby this year. If you are looking for a steal, nice service, and great location, look no further. I only have one minor qualm about it, and it wasn't because of the room. The Public Laundry Room is kind of eerie, and dark, and they only had when I was their 2 machines. But that is very minor, and we used the Laundromat about 2 minutes down the road. Great for Couples!
What a Bargain!
The Hibiscus Suites is the best place I've stayed in Florida in quite some time. The rooms are brand new, spacious and bright, with a convenient kitchenettes. Everything was exceptionally clean! The living area was well appointed with brand new leather furniture and the feather beds in the bedroom were a pleasant surprise. This hotel has features that you would expect to find in a much pricer setting. We really enjoyed our stay and regretted we couldn't stay longer!
Nicest Suites In Sarasota/Siesta Key
We have been vacationing to Siesta Key for 5 years now, and we have never stayed in Hotel as nice as the Hibiscus Suites Inn! The suites are beautiful, comfortable, and very quiet. Very clean, brand new furniture and appliances, and the featherstuffed comforters on the beds are to die for!! It is a brilliant location... four blocks from the beaches, restaurants & bars, family activities, aquariums and a whole lot more. Just half of a mile up the street we rented a boat for a half day and had so much fun, and when we came back there was a great restaurant right next door where we had a excellent meal. I highly recommend staying at the Hibiscus Suites Inn if you want to experience a great time. Also, thier staff were great! Wonderful, polite housekeepers and front desk personel. Thanks Guys! We will see you next year!
Excellent Accomodations!
Excellent accomodations, close to everything. We love this place and will definitely stay here again. We though the amenities were great! Great furniture, very comfortable, peaceful, a great way to see Siesta Key. Thank You Hibiscus Suites Inn, you are wonderful!

Never Again
My husband I stayed there in March 2005. The expensive season for Florida! Every day there were work trucks all over the parking lot, and even for a few days a cherry picker was there so new roof tiles could be out on. No pool just sit and look at the trucks and hope you have a parking space. Then the fun starts our reservations were botched we were told we" may" have to switch room in the middle of our vacation, thier mistake! We were told to put our luggage in the office for a few hours while the rooms were cleaned and we could switch rooms for the last night we were there the people next door were booked to have the room we were in. The suites were the same yet them wanted us use our vacation time time to move. We opted to leave early , very unfriendly office people.
On a good note The rooms were very nice and the cleaning staff very friendly.
Absolutely Horrible
Although we did not stay at Hibiscus Suites Inn (see below for explaination) I would highly recommend staying away from this hotel. My mother, sister and I had made reservations and tried to stay there in March. When we arrived the parking lot was full of construction machinery, the pool was closed with a "danger" sign posted on it, and the people at the desk were rude and unhelpful. We had made two reservations, one by phone and one through the internet - with two separate confirmation numbers. We cancelled the internet one, but the hotel had cancelled both, even though they sent us a letter confirming the phone reservation. When we arrived at the hotel we found out we didn't have a room. In the process of trying to figure out what to do, one of the employees started shouting at us, and physically pushed my sister out the door. We went to a nearby business (CB's Saltwater Outfitters) where an employee there was very helpful and assisted us in finding another hotel room. We sent a letter to various local entities (i.e. the Chamber of Commerce) and they are following up on it. We were told that this was not the only complaint against this hotel. I cannot comment on the rooms since we didn't get to see them. I LOVE the Sarasota/Siesta Key area (as does my whole family), so please note that this one horrible experience with one hotel should not reflect on the area itself. The area is beautiful and everyone else we have met there has been very friendly.

Bee, imo.
If you feel like it's not substantial enough you could always add a second middle, though I think it would depend on how long your surname is. It might feel better balanced to have a 2nd middle with a one syllable surname and might feel like too much with a very long surname.

Valentine's Double Whammie!
Well, my boyfriend's birthday is on Valentine's Day so I'm looking to do something extra special (especially since he far outdid me with xmas gifts). Besides the typical "romantic" restaurant scenes (quiet, warm ambience), I'd love to hear if anyone has a favorite romantic spot, such as a corner table, back room, etc. at a restaurant (that you won't need for V day!). I'm creative and crazy so wouldn't mind making the extra effort to make his night stand out!
Specific requests:
-Budget: $120 on food alone (for 2)
-Wine & cocktails available
-Non pre-fixe options available
-not too casual (formal fine as well)

We love Del Posto.
i think it is nice that he went the extra mile for you on Christmas..................that's the way it should be.
Check out the Del Posto site and see if it is a fit for you. The restaurant is beautiful and there is a piano player.
The food and service are exceptional.
Have fun................Make reservations early wherever you decide to celebrate.
re: Raisel
Wouldn't Del Posto's dining room be over the $120 for two food cost? I haven't been to Del Posto's enoteca, so don't know how romantic it is, but would be closer to the budget.
I will recommend my new favorite restaurant, Allen and Delancey. It is quite romantic and elegant without being too stuffy. Most importantly, the food is really good! The menu isn't huge, but almost everything I tried was perfectly prepared and delicious.
I went there before Bruni did a review on A&D, and since then it has been much harder to get reservation. Below is the link to the review:)
(p.s. I don't know what he was thinking, but I will give A&D 3 Stars instead of 2
The price point also fits with your budget.
Another cozy place I can think of is Little Owl, but it is a bit too causal (I think) for your occasion, and the food is not as good as A&D's.
Just as a reference, if you really want to go all out, Bouley is certainly romantic and upscale, but it is prix-fixe and will cost about $200 for 2 (food only).
re: kobetobiko
allen and delancey agreed !
L'Impero. $64 for the 4-course prix fixe, less if you order 3 courses a la carte. It has a cozy but elegant atmosphere, and the food is superb.
Beware that many restaurants have special (and generally more expensive and limited) menus for Valentine's day. Check before reserving.

Always be sure of where you're placing your feet are and what they are doing.
Ask someone to take a friend to record your games so that you can see how yourself in action. You can see things differently as you observe the game and notice things you missed. Be honest with yourself but not overly critical.
To become a great free thrower, always go through the same routine before each shot. This may mean you want to dribble three times, touch your forehead, touch your forehead, or any other movement. As long as this is a quick set of movements and it's consistent, using a consistent routine can help your body retain the memory to make those shots after your "ritual."
Passing between the legs is great when you have defense all over you. Practice dribbling the ball between your legs while stepping forwards and backwards. Mastering this skill will provide you a big advantage on the court.
There are clearly many ways to better your skills. When you improve your worth as a player, you can help to lead your team to victory while giving fans a taste of victory. Everyone has to play a part in the team and people that cheer on the games also have a big part to play too. Your part as a player is to assist your team any way that you can. You'll become a better team member if you use the tips in this article.

The body of a missing Israeli lone soldier from the United States was found in central Israel with gunshot wounds.
David Menachem Gordon, 21, was found Tuesday afternoon, hours after reports that he was missing were made public. His army-issued assault rifle was by his side, according to the IDF.
Israel's Channel 2 reported that Gordon was from Ohio.
Gordon a member of the Givati Brigade, was last seen at a military base in central Israel on Sunday at around noon. He was wearing his military uniform and its purple beret, and carrying an assault rifle, Israel Police said.
Gordon, who entered the Israeli army in August 2013, wrote a blog about his experiences in the military.

WALLA WALLA -- The Chamber of Commerce gave its approval this week for a city proposal to replace its failing infrastructure of underground water and sewer pipes, as well as the roads above those pipes, and paying for the decades of work with a 50 percent graduated increase in water and sewer rates over the next five years.
"Imagine for a minute what would happen to Walla Walla's business climate if we had a major system failure that caused contamination to our potable water supply. How many tourists do you think would visit a town where you could not safely consume the water?" wrote Damien Sinnott, the Chamber of Commerce's director of public policy and legal affairs, in an opinion column in Monday's U-B.
But it turns out the possibility of contamination to the city's potable water lines because of the failing infrastructure is an unlikely, according Interim Public Works Director Tom Purcell.
"The potable water lines are held under pressure so the prospect in unlikely," Purcell noted, making it clear that though potable water pipes are leaking as much as a billion gallons a year, because they are under pressure they are not at risk of being contaminated from nearby leaking sewer lines.
But that isn't the case for the Valley's shallow aquifer, which is still the source of water for a number of city and county residents and businesses, who rely on wells for irrigation and drinking water.
"I think the greatest potential threat to the public health can come from infrastructure sewer lines during the dry season," said City Manger Nabiel Shawa. "You have parched soil. And the (sewer) water, instead of running into the pipes, can start running out of the pipes, and that is where it can contaminate the shallow aquifer," Shawa said.
Though far more probable than contaminated potable lines, the possibility of contamination to the aquifer is still a big unknown.
"The likelihood, we don't even know what the amount is," Shawa said.
The third facet of the Infrastructure Repair and Replacement Plan, roads improvements, was not a major factor in swaying the Chamber of Commerce, Sinnott said, in an interview Monday.
"I think everybody complains about the roads, and we didn't really consider that as a huge threat to our businesses," he added.

One-third of new iOS-based games are Flappy Bird clones
Over a 24-hour period on Wednesday, there were approximately 293 new iOS games uploaded to the App Store. Out of this slew of 293 games, 95 of them were Flappy Bird clones, or at least inspired by the original Flappy Bird game.
Starting a couple of weeks ago, Apple began rejecting some of the Flappy Bird clones, but it looks like the company has all but given up trying to filter out the Flappy Bird clones. Developers are trying to capitalize on Dong Nguyen's success with the original Flappy Bird, as it saw him earning $50,000 per day.
Google Hangouts for iOS is now better than Hangouts on Android

Animated stickers also make an appearance in the updated Hangouts for iOS app, but most of all its all about the redesign - which looks beautiful. Hangouts on iOS now looks more beautiful than Hangouts on Android, what is happening, Google? You can grab Hangouts 2.0 for iOS from the iTunes App Store.
Opternative online test will give you a prescription for glasses
I'm sure a bunch of people out there are wondering if they need glasses right about now. The problem for many people is that going to the eye doctor is expensive and takes a lot of time. A new service has turned up online called Opternative that will give you an online eye test and a legit prescription for glasses or contacts.
Once you get that prescription, you can take it wherever you want to have the glasses or contacts made. The test takes about ten minutes and costs about $35. The only potential drawback is that you need to pay for the test whether or not you end up needing glasses.
This is a real test according to the co-founder of the company, Dr. Steven Lee. Lee is an optometrist and he says that the Opternative test given uses a series of images that is able to tell what sort of eye problems you might have.

Square Pickup food ordering app testing now in San Francisco
If you work in an office often the only time you can get out before closing time is when you head out for lunch. The problem is that much of the time lunch break isn't long enough to go to a restaurant, order, eat, and get back. That means you need a quick and easy way to order your food and get it back to the office on time.
If you are familiar with Square, the company that makes the mobile credit card readers and operates a mobile payment system, you might be interested in Squares latest offering. The new offering is an app called Square Pickup and it lets you order food from any eatery that takes Square payments.
The app lets you view the full menu offered for all participating restaurants, choose what you want, order, and pay in one place. That means all you need to do is drive over, get your food, and get back before the boss misses you at your desk.

Another iOS security flaw found, allows apps to track your keystrokes
Just a day after releasing a fix for authenticating SSL certificates, there's another security flaw found in iOS that's equally dangerous. It was recently found that iOS allows a malicious apps to keep a track on your keystrokes.
This flaw was found by a security firm called FirmEye. To prove that this flaw exists, the security firm uploaded a dummy app in Apple's app store. The dummy app was able to record touch and keystrokes when changing wallpaper, pressing buttons like home, volume up/down and TouchID buttons. The app then sent the records to a remote server. According to the security company, attackers can use these information for reconstructing every character that the victim uses to access any types of accounts.

Samsung's Knox 2.0 will use the Galaxy S5's fingerprint scanner
MWC 2014 - Samsung has taken the wraps off of its Knox 2.0 software, which will be capable of using the Galaxy S5's fingerprint scanner. Knox 2.0 will use two-factor biometric authentication, which will access a central keystore that will require not only a fingerprint, but a passcode.
Corporate app makers and security policy developers can push this into their software, which should keep devices safe from unauthorized access. Not only that, but now Knox can run "most" applications from the Google Play store without setting up a new environment, all while keeping the system and kernel secure from malicious code.
Samsung's refreshed Knox software can now secure individual apps data, and prevent unauthorized editing and access to system partitions and other sensitive areas and databases. The company is setting forward a bit more, offering up a Knox marketplace, which will allow IT staff to set up and deploy apps across all users' phones.
Knox 2.0 will come pre-installed on the Galaxy S5, as well as other Galaxy smartphones - but requires Android 4.4 - in Q2 2014.
WhatsApp apologizes for outage on heals of voice calling announcement
Today WhatsApp announced a new upcoming feature that most likely played a major role in Facebook's recent acquisition of the company. WhatsApp says that later this year it will be adding voice calling services to the popular text messaging app, a move that will undoubtedly send it rocketing even further past its competition. The new Voice calling feature will arrive on Android and iOS first, with Windows Phone and BlackBerry receiving the new features later down the road.
WhatsApp says that the new voice calling feature will be free initially, but could charge for the service in the future, much like the way its messaging service is free for the first year and then requires a $0.99 per year subscription fee. If the company can keep the new voice calling service in the same $0.99 to $2.99 per year range, I can see almost everyone subscribing at the new rate, which in turn would equate to massive revenue growth for Facebook and WhatsApp.
Additionally, WhatsApp's founder issued an official apology for the downtime the service recently suffered. Jan Koum, WhatsApp co-founder and CEO said that the outage was the app's longest ever, lasting about four hours. As someone who uses WhatsApp almost exclusively for all of his text messaging, the outage was an annoyance, but as a techie myself, I know that these things happen. I do find it refreshing to see a CEO apologize about the outage, something not many other leaders of tech companies do when their services go down.

New uTorrent client speeds up downloads and prevents DDoS attacks
The UTorrent dev team released 3.4 version of the client with a promise that it would change the way uTorrent chooses peers and therefore improves the download speeds and preventing DDOS attacks.
Other than the bug fixes and new features, BitTorrent's Adam Kelly explained how the new system works. He said,"If a BitTorrent client chooses poorly, or if there are malicious actors in the swarm, the connections between clients are not well distributed through the swarm, leading to a large number of hops from node to node. That slows down the ability to each client to pass data on to the next."

WhatsApp's lack of encryption is the kind that the "NSA would love"
While Facebook might be acquiring WhatsApp for a hefty $16 billion, it looks like the messaging application company might not be too good with encrypting its messages. With over 450 million active users, this becomes quite the user base for government spies, hackers, and more.
WhatsApp's use of secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption is meant to support version 2 of the protocol, which is capable of being hacked into, and monitored by a third-party. The messages being flown back and forth between WhatsApp users can even be manipulated. WhatsApp has failed to use a technique known as certificate pinning, which is designed to block attacks using forged certificates to bypass Web encryption.
Pinning allows an app to work only when communicating with a server using a specific certificate, and because this certificate is hardwired into the app, it will simply reject connections with any other attempts of a false certificate. Security consultancy firm Praetorian, has chimed in, with Paul Jauregui writing: "This is the kind of stuff the NSA would love. It basically allows them-or an attacker-to man-in-the-middle the connection and then downgrade the encryption so they can break it and sniff the traffic. These security issues put WhatsApp user information and communications at risk".
New app makes it easy to edit GoPro on Android phones and tablets
Mobile video editing company muvee recently announced its muvee Action Studio app for Google Android users looking to edit GoPro videos.
The app allows users to enjoy Fast Mode, Automatic Mode, and Pro Mode editing settings to quickly and easily edit videos from their mobile device. Fast Mode edits videos without decoding them, allowing users to trim and splice videos together; Automatic Mode has a unique setting that allows the app to cut videos to music tracks; and Pro Mode allows shots to be refocused, reframed, with a wider selection of editing tools available.
"I was snowboarding in Lake Tahoe with my GoPro and wanted to quickly put some highlight clips together to music and post on YouTube," said Terence Swee, muvee founder and CEO, in a press statement. "I did not want to bring a PC along with all the other equipment I was already lugging. I then realized that there must be a ton of GoPro users who are out mountain biking, diving, surfing or kayaking... in places where you don't want to bring a PC. But we always have our phones with us. I thought: 'I should be able to edit my GoPro videos on my phone immediately!' Now we can."

After getting over my disappointment of the departure of Angel from Alice, I was able to appreciate how the author led me into Alice's emotions. Because of the author's artistic/poetic style, I was able to feel this story clip. The words can paint a vivid picture if you let them. This unique style of plunging into back stories and then returning to the story line is used in cinema these days and is more of how the human mind thinks. I look forward to reading more clips!

Have you ever had a conversation with someone and they are so excited about something they are rambling on and a bit incoherently at that? The Meeting is like that. The writing is all over the place - carries you to the middle of a point and then suddenly, and in an untimely manner, abandons that point to jump to a new one. The author has much to say but is doing it all too quickly and not at all fluidly.
This can be a good book if the authors opts to revise it and give it the appropriate attention needed.

The Dublin Education Foundation Board of Trustees congratulates Ms. Nicole Durant for successfully building a collaborative effort among various schools in addressing the food needs of the low-income family students in our school district through Blessings in a Backpack. Her Nov. 12, 2014 appearance on the Dr. Oz television show will bring the message of the "Dublin Difference" to the national spotlight, which will certainly inspire many more such efforts around the nation. We, at the DEF, are proud to be one of her first seed-funding sources in 2012. We deeply appreciate the dedication of the many teachers, like Ms. Durant, who often think outside of the box and go an extra mile to create a safe, wholesome and conducive learning environment for all of our students in Dublin.

"Effects of Salts on the Clouding and Micellization Behavior of Pluronic F127 (registered trademark) Solutions"
Pandit, Nivedita K.

Trygstad, Troy
Koch, Cody

SubjectMicelles; Cloud point; Critical micellization temperature; Critical micellization concentration; Non-ionic surfactant; Pluronic F127; Poloxamer; Surface active agents; Pharmaceutical sciences
We have investigated the effect of NaCl, Na2SO4, Na3PO4 and NaSCN on the cloud point (CP), and critical micellization temperature (cmt) of F127 solutions.
