Blog — What's New
Redchampion1 contacted the UK team recently to share a bit of artwork he had been working on. Turns out that it's an AMAZING drawing of each of the UK team's penguins! He had clearly put a lot of time into making this drawing as brill as possible. The team love it so much that they put it up on the wall in the office and asked me if he could be the next Penguin of the Week. So, here he is, with his incredible drawing! Soooo colourful! Congrats! :)
What do you think of Redchampion1's drawing? Leave some nice comments below! If you know someone who's done something brill, let me know and they could be the next Penguin of the Week!

Hey Meld246! I'm not a moderator, obviously but I can help you out here. Two options.

That isn't how I draw penguins but I'll tell you now..
2: Start with a circle/oval for the beak, draw an "m" shape for the eyes and an egg with arms and feet (like pizzas!). I hope I helped.

Hey there I have a nomination for penguin of the week
Its my cousin whose in college, he created an account for himself and accounts for me and my brother back when he was in High School. Not only does he use his account but he maintains ours while we are in school, He has put aside his search for Mascots in order to help us meet them
He has spent a lot of money over the last two years on our accounts.
his penguin name is Haos Drago, please consider him for the honor.
CP Rules
I agree with Lil Cuz! Their cousin sounds like the perfect person for Penguin of the Week!
Hope you choose him!
Don't be so hard on yourself.
That's so swaggy! I couldn't possibly keep my cool if I tried drawing 10 + penguins on one drawing.
Redchampion1 NEVER EVER give up on your art work. Your work is truly amazing, and if you keep at it you could go and work for some of the big animation companies. Keep up the great work Redchampion1!!
Great job Redchampion1! I wish I could be penguin of the week...
Hey Club Penguin Team, I'd like to nominate my best friend, Atm40. He has an iBitz, and he works hard everyday to get lots of steps. He almost has all of the iBitz items! He even ran a 2.3 mile run to support cancer awareness! He is a very nice friend on CP and in real life too!
Awesome drawing! Congrats on the Penguin Of The Week Redchampion1! You earned it!
im speech less

You're going to be a great artist someday!!!!
Excellent drawing Redchampion1 , lovely use of colour and very detailed .... Also a very nice outfit
The next penguin of the week should be Olivianature because her and her class have been saving money to give to a charity. That's why Olivianature should be the next penguin of the week.
Looks like A PRO Great Job!
I nominated The Shy Guy, as is the UK, he is amazing and a good friend, his parties are epic and very funny, I hope he wins next week.
That's just amazing! My penguin drawings basically look like ovals with beaks! I can definitely say that's the most detailed CP picture I've seen!
I would like to nominate my good friend, Pinki90790 for Penguin of the Week. She is so nice and creative. She always invites me over to her igloo and we have so much fun together! Once 2 penguins were fighting and she solved all of their problems and made them friends again! She has been a member for more than a year and has 40 puffles! Her igloo is really cool too. She also has a great scence of style. She is perfect to be Penguin of the Week! Please reply if you think Pinki should be POTW. Bye
Oh my gosh, that is so nice! I hope your friend gets picked.
I think it's A W E S O ME.
I wanna be a penguin of the week cuz I have a lot of clothes, I agree to everyone, and I'm actually trying to hold a save the earth parade! PS, why can't we do a Frozen takeover? I watched it 30 times. I'm listening to it on iTunes and it is Disney! Bye!
awesome drawing congrats I nominate clovey212 because she is always a good friend and is fair.
Nicely done, Redchampion1. :) It must have taken a long time to draw and color that, wowza! I don't think I have enough patience and self control to do something like that...
This inspired me to submit some of my own doodles. Keep up the good work, Redchampion1. :D
Congrats friend! you deserve it ;)

Redchampion1 should be really proud of he's self and he must be the top best drawer in he's whole school. But I think the penguin for next weak should be Boo335,why? Because he is really smart, brave and has a really cool igloo, that he calls Crash Landing. He has captured many crimals for EPF. Yeah, you should chose him for Penguin Of The Weak. Maby someone like him should be for next next penguin of the weak.
Redchampion1, I think you are the BEST drawers I ever known on this Earth!! Dude, the most coolest thing in the Picture is the Detail! The colors are soo Cool!! Redchampion, you are the best!! Maybe we could be friends! I can't even draw that, I think that's impossible for me to that! You have a Great skill dude!! YOU ARE AMAZING!! Best Drawing I ever Seen!!

I nominate pizzaman604 because he is a very good friend on club penguin.When I first met him we had such a good time.He also helped me with a old friend on club penguin because he said a bad word and I got him off my friend list and got off club penguin forever.He is a very good friend.
Sunny54323 is one of my best friends! She is super kind and super fashionable! You should really see her igloo! Sometimes she'll decorate it differently when ever we come over!
I want to nominate this brill dude called Freezepop! He is so fun to be with: he has parties, he likes puffles and he loves nature!
We are really lucky to have Redchampion1 in our penguin community! He is a great role model for other penguins!!! We need more people like

I think Perry22111 should be penguin of the week. She hasn't been on in a very long time but she's really nice and loves to pretend. So if you do choose her, can you send her a postcard or something saying "congratulations! You became penguin of the week! Here's (whatever you get for winning)"
Thank you!
Hi! I would like to nominate my BFF, Aquagirl5904. She loves sports and gets a little competitive. She also wants to grow up to be a popstar! One of her favorite games is Minecraft(and CP) . And her favorite color is red. She sticks up to bullies and all she wants to do all day long is run! I don't think you really need to know this but she LOVES seafood. I've learned a lot from her and even though we're total oppisites, we're still BFFs. Please choose her I would love to see her as PotW!

champ he should be the new wallpaper REDCHAMP IS THE GREATEST PENGUIN IVE EVER SEEN AND IM HES MY FRINED
My friend 18 Polly 18 should be POTW. He is a amazing friend, EPF agent, and Ninja. He helps new Penguins that come to the island. He donates most of his coins to coins for change. He gives Penguins tips on all the mini games since he has all the game stamps. He also helps Penguin find Mascots they want to meet.
i think i should be potw because i found a number if 73 snail that were hurt by a car and now they are my pets and happy. i gave my 13724 coins to coins for change and earth day i reused recycled and reduced and my sister did the same thing and her penguin name is :saron88888.i also set up charity for my school and her school forgetting homessless people homes. i love meeting new people every day and i have so many friends on cp.

I think that Faithepac123 should be next penguin of the week. She's a really good friend, and I always see her standing up to bullies. Whenever I'm sad she cheers me up, and we go to the coffee shop for a cookie or two! She tries her best to take care of her puffles, and when I'm bored she'll hang out with me. I really think she would be awesome for Penguin of the Week! She deserves it! Oh, and she also likes all the igloos she sees! I hope you pick her!
I just used my club penguin username if that's okay. I think redchampion1 should be like some club penguin artist, maybe u could start having a segment in the newspaper for an artist of the month; or something like that.
This is an amazing drawing!! I just love this!!! So talented! :)
That's cool
Good Job on the Drawing I love it! :D

Greetings! My core love and talent is being creative on the page. I have written non-fiction, fiction, articles, "story" product descriptions, blog posts, and "impression" beer reviews. I have had the honor of being published in the paper magazine "Primitive Archer." The writing bug bit me when I was very young and my parents had to put up with a continual influx of half-finished stories and bad attempts at non-fiction. The bug followed me through 4 years of military service, long summers spent in wild places, and 5 years of college, nipping at my heels, causing me to sporadically put pen to page. While earning my BS in Wildlife/Forestry I fed the bug by taking several creative writing courses, including the 8 month, Long Ridge Writers Group course on "Writing Short Stories and Articles for Publication." Just lately I have taken the leap into the freelance world, while I go through 7 months of Craft Brewing School. Most of what I have written about I have first-hand knowledge in; martial arts, green living, environmental issues, brewing, fitness/health, the outdoors, and wild places. Though, I also enjoy fresh writing challenges that allow me to go out of my comfort zone. I work hard to deliver something that I can be proud of whether my name is, ultimately, on it or not. I want to give people good information in an interesting and readable way. I am highly self-disciplined, on time (comes from a Swiss mother), and above all honest about what I can deliver.

United States - Last active: 3 days ago - Tests: 4 - Portfolio: 6
As a graduate of New York University and a freelance editor, I believe my education, experiences and interests would make me an excellent writer for your publication. Since leaving the university I have sought out every opportunity to build writing and editing experience. I have written a number of articles across topics (and have samples) as well as devoting a large portion of my time to editing the writing projects (novels, novellas, papers and articles) of my friends, relations and teachers. I worked as a ghost writer and editor on a memoir by Jacklene Russell, copyedited the written content of a new start-up website, Geek N' Garden, and I continue to work on my own projects while seeking out online grammar tests and courses to stay in practice. I completed an internship with Dystel and Goderich Literary Management where I was responsible for reviewing incoming manuscripts and passing on promising projects to the agents. Manuscripts that I felt had promise but were not yet recommendable I took the time to edit. Though I did not send these suggestions to the hopeful authors, as it would have been against company policy, I did see it as a good way to practice. I have also held administrative positions on various writing game websites and my duties have included evaluating a large number of character applications, updating site databases and membership directories, and drafting site constitutions and election protocols. I would greatly appreciate the chance to work with you. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Loki C.

Tamping machine
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014)
A tamping machine or ballast tamper is a machine used to pack (or tamp) the track ballast under railway tracks to make the tracks more durable. Prior to the introduction of mechanical tampers, this task was done by manual labour with the help of beaters. As well as being faster, more accurate, more efficient and less labour-intensive, tamping machines are essential for the use of concrete sleepers since they are too heavy (usually over 250 kg (551 lb)) to be packed into the ballast by hand.
Early machines only lifted the track and packed the ballast. More modern machines, sometimes known as a tamper-liner or tamping and lining machine, also correct the alignment of the rails to make them parallel and level, in order to achieve a more comfortable ride for passengers and freight and to reduce the mechanical strain applied to the rails by passing trains.

Tamper machines are built in many different varieties depending on their purpose:
- Straight track tamping machines:
- Universal tamping machines (UT)
- Unomatic
- Duomatic
- Continuous action tamping machines
- Tamping Express
- Points and crossing tamping machines
- Multi-purpose tamping machines (MPT)
Additionally, there are non-tamping machines as well:
- DTS (DGS), Dynamic Track Stabilizing Machine
- Points and crossing relaying machine
- Track relaying train (TRT)
- Straight track laying machines
General arrangement[edit]
The majority of track machines are powered by a diesel engine. This provides power to the driving wheels via a cardan shaft, allowing the machine to propel itself to and around a work-site. The engine also drives an hydraulic pump to provide power for the various tools.
Tamping units[edit]
For each rail there is a tamping unit attached to the main frame by means of vertical guide columns and a lifting and lowering hydraulic cylinder. The tamping unit consists of tamping tools (arms or "tines"), a hydraulic vibration motor, a vibration shaft and an eccentric flywheel. For each sleeper, a tamping unit is provided with four pairs of tamping arms: one each side of the sleeper, i.e., 16 tamping arms are used for tamping a single sleeper.[vague] To process several sleepers simultaneously, a tamping unit may have between 32 and 64 arms (for up to four sleepers), leading to the derivation of machine type numbers: "16" indicates 16 tines, enough for a single sleeper, "32" for two sleepers. Machines capable of processing greater amounts of sleepers per movement are now labelled by the Plasser 'X' methodology. 09-2X for two sleepers, 09-3X for three sleepers and 09-4X for four, etc.
Tamping units of a Unimat have swivelling tamping arms to pack points and crossings.
Special units are available for use with third-rail electrified track.
Universal tamping machine[edit]
This type of straight-track tamping machine is the oldest of the varieties. It uses a two-chord lining system for alignment of track (for slewing the track to left or right, as-and-when required). This type of lining is controlled mechanically. The machine has four bogies, one at the front, one at the rear, a third in the centre and a fourth in between the centre and the rear. They are called: front-tightening, rear-tightening, lining bogie and measuring bogie, respectively.
The measuring bogie determines the amount of slewing required and measures the subsequent adjustments applied by the lining bogie. The lining bogie also lifts the track to make it level. The tamping bank behind the lining bogie has a vibrating motor and four arms for each rail.
A tamping cycle comprises three operations:
- Penetration – The arms are pushed down vertically into the ballast either side of a sleeper.
- Squeezing – The arms squeeze the ballast under the sleeper, packing it together.
- Moving – The arms are lifted and the machine is moved to the next sleeper to repeat the cycle.
The operations are controlled from the control cabin by an operator using three pedals, while the lining bogie holds the track in its lifted and slewed position.
Specialist tamping machines[edit]
Continuous Action Tamping Machines[edit]
A Continuous Action Tamping Machine (CAT) can pack between one and four sleepers at a time, with outputs between 320m/h and 2600m/h generally anticipated.[1]
Dynamic Tamping Express[edit]
The 'Tamping Express' is a machine developed by Plasser & Theurer, and in the UK & Europe is referred to as the 09-3X. This machine consists of a conventional CAT style satellite with tooling for 3 sleepers in continuous succession, along with a full DTS stabilising unit suspended from the rear most vehicle in the machine.[2]
DGS / DTS (Dynamic Track Stabilising)[edit]
Tamping and cleaning operations have the adverse effect of reducing the resistance of the track to lateral movement. The resistance gradually recovers with the passage of trains, but may require a speed restriction imposed for the duration. This 'consolidation' can be achieved faster and in a more controlled manner using mechanised equipment known as the Dynamic Track Stabiliser (DTS).
A DTS will normally be used only after a stretch of track has been tamped and aligned.
D.G.S. has a vibrating unit which holds the track in position and applies a horizontal vibration and vertical load to simulate the passage of trains. The track parameters (or cross levels), before and after stabilising, can be viewed through bogies in the front and rear.
Dynamic Track Stabilising has the following advantages, resulting in enhanced safety:
- Increases the resistance of the track to lateral movement
- Creates a homegenous bed of ballast
- Permits earlier relaxation of speed restrictions
- Eliminates non-uniform initial differential settlements caused by rail traffic
- Retains correct track geometry for a longer period than was achievable using tamping machines alone
- Vibration frequency: 30–35 Hz
- Working speed: 1–2 km/h
- Vertical pressure applied: 100 kg/cm²
The stabilisation achieved by one pass of a D.G.S. is equal to that achieved by 100,000 tonnes of traffic, and allows a speed restriction of 20 km/h to be relaxed to 40 km/h
Dynamic stabilisation is usually avoided on bridges or around overhead structures since there is a risk of damage to foundations.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 2005 The Defense Department's first assistant secretary for homeland defense acknowledged he's surprised terrorists haven't launched another 9/11-type attack against the United States -- but is quick to say he's not calling it luck.
Paul McHale told civilian leaders gathered at the Pentagon Feb. 18 that he credits the country's aggressive efforts to disrupt the al Qaeda terrorist network, as well as to build up its homeland defense capabilities, with preventing more attacks within U.S. borders.
"Luck has had nothing to do with it," McHale told alumni of the Joint Civilian Orientation Conference, who traveled here for a full day of briefings about U.S. defense issues. The civilians attending the session were among about 50 business, civic and academic leaders who traveled throughout the Pacific region in September to learn about military operations and observe them firsthand.
Had the United States not taken multiple measures to confront the terrorists and build up its defenses, McHale told the group, he has little doubt that al Qaeda would have attacked again, "probably on multiple occasions."
"We have had significant achievement in terms of taking the fight to the enemy overseas and in making it known that we are better prepared at home," he said. Both, he said, are probably deterring terrorists intent on launching more attacks.
The United States has "dramatically disrupted" al Qaeda, killing or capturing more than two-thirds of its leadership and making it difficult for the terrorists to move money or communicate over significant distances, McHale said. "We have disrupted their planning cycle, and with an aggressive intensity, we must continue to do so," he said.
McHale said there's no doubt that, given the opportunity, terrorists will launch another attack. He said there's no way to know for certain how many "sleeper cells" may be in the country, planning one or more attacks or preparing to carry them out.
But, he said, extensive measures to beef up the country's homeland defense capabilities may be hampering these plans. "We will never know how helpful (this has been) and to what extent we might have disrupted a plan under way," he said.
"We have built up defenses that did not exist on the morning of Sept. 11," McHale told the group. The Air National Guard routinely flies combat air patrols within U.S. airspace, and "a very robust number of F-16s and F-15s" is prepared to take off within minutes to assume a combat posture within U.S. borders, he said.
McHale said the military also has trained for the "sobering" mission it feasibly could be forced to carry out: shooting down a hijacked civilian airliner about to be used by terrorists as a weapons platform, as occurred on Sept. 11, 2001. It's a mission he acknowledged carries "a heavy burden" for all involved, but could be necessary to save even more lives.
"The purpose is to let it be known that we have that capability and are prepared to use it under the necessary circumstances so we can deter such an attack," McHale said.
In addition, a new combatant command, U.S. Northern Command, is focused on homeland defense and the use of the U.S. military in and near the United States.
McHale said civilian law enforcement continues to provide the county's first line of defense, backed up by a greatly enhanced National Guard force, in which every state now has its own quick-reaction forces.
In addition, the United States now has "significant" active Army and Marine forces on alert, ready to respond as necessary, he said. "Today in the United States, unlike on Sept. 11, we have active duty units on alert, prepared to deploy within our country in order to confront terrorists should we become aware of a potential terrorist attack," he said.
McHale said the United States also is at work enhancing its maritime defenses to prevent hostile nation states or transnational terrorists from launching attacks within U.S. waters or ports. These attacks could be devastating if ships are used as platforms to launch attacks involving weapons of mass destruction against U.S. ports or cities, he said.
If these defenses prove inadequate and terrorists successfully launch an attack on the United States involving weapons of mass destruction, McHale said, Northern Command's Joint Task Force Civil Support stands ready to respond immediately. If needed, thousands of troops would support the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency "to put military capabilities and manpower behind a national response to a terrorist attack or series of attacks involving weapons of mass destruction," he said.
McHale said he never uses the word "comfortable" to describe the level to which he believes the terrorist threat is in check. But by remaining vigilant, he said, it's feasible that the United States will maintain a comparable level of security during the next three years.
"We have methodically built defenses that did not exist on the morning of Sept. 11," he said. "We tried to develop the vision (and) the imagination that was absent on Sept. 11 and tried to develop capabilities to deal with emerging threats as best as we could anticipate."
These steps, he said, have enabled the county to "earn its safety in the last three years."
"We've come a long way in the last three years" in expanding U.S. defense capabilities, McHale said. "And we must remain vigilant."

Desktop G4 - Sleep Problems
I recently bought some new RAM for my 4 year old G4 that was running very slow. I found that the sleep function didn't work properly after it was fitted and when woken up, the fan spins but the screen remained blank and stubbornly refuses to do anything - I have to force a shut down and restart. There were other issues too like the CD-ROM drive door refused to open. I cleaned everything up using OnyX and this has resolved everything but the Sleep function - Any bright ideas...? BillM
G'day Bill and welcome to the Forums.
You do not advise what OS you are running, so assuming it is Tiger or Leopard go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and check the settings there. It is known that PCI cards suck as USB2 will prevent sleep - anything like that fitted?
Hi, thanks Harry, its OS 10.4.11 - The only change I've made is adding 2 Kingstion RAM sticks - I took back the first one thinking it was a bad stick but the new ones give the same problem - take them out it works just fine - put them in and the thing won't wake up... I know its the sticks causing it but is there a way around...?
Sorry never used Kingston memory so can't help. Always use OWC own brand. You have solved the problem however. Any mac owner near you that would loan you RAM to experiment with?
I think Kingston are a pretty reputable brand - got them from the best apple store in Western Canada!!! I don't know anyone with an Apple though, so can't experiment - but that has to be it. I just wondered if they caused a software glitch that was easily solvable - but I guess not...!
Thanks anyway...Billm

WASHINGTON, March 7, 1997 TRICARE/CHAMPUS-eligible patients will gain access to new cancer therapies under an agreement between DoD and the National Cancer Institute.
The agreement provides TRICARE/CHAMPUS patients access to clinical trials through a nationwide network of 2,000 comprehensive and clinical cancer centers, community hospitals and practices, and DoD treatment facilities. Institute-sponsored clinical trials help care providers evaluate new treatment approaches for adult and pediatric cancers.
CHAMPUS, currently undergoing a name change and conversion to fall under TRICARE, will cover therapy costs for eligible cancer patients who enroll in Phase II and Phase III cancer institute clinical trials.
"This is an important commitment by DoD because it provides cancer patients with more choices for their treatment and it promotes the development of improved cancer therapies," said Dr. Stephen Joseph, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs. "TRICARE/CHAMPUS-eligible individuals can now take advantage of some of the most promising treatments science has to offer."
To participate in the clinical trials, TRICARE/CHAMPUS-eligible patients first must have their physician confirm with PGBA CHAMPUS that the proposed trial meets the terms of the demonstration project. PGBA CHAMPUS is the DoD contractor serving as national point of contact for this program.
Once authorized and the patient agrees to participate, the physician must contact PGBA CHAMPUS for treatment authorization. To learn more about PGBA CHAMPUS requirements, patients can call the office toll-free at (800) 779-3060.
DoD participation in the clinical trials also expands the cancer institute's research capabilities, said Dr. Robert Wittes, director of the institute's Division of Cancer Treatment, Diagnosis and Centers.
"This agreement with DoD will move us in the direction of ensuring that trials enroll enough patients to answer vital research questions about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer," Wittes said.
For general information about NCI-sponsored clinical trials, contact the National Cancer Institute Cancer Information Service at (800) 422-6237 or TTY (800) 332-8615; or access CancerNet (http://cancernet.nci.nih.gov/trials) on the Internet. Health care providers can access a customized data base through the Physician Data Query search service at (800) 345-3300.
The Cancer Information Service, a network of 19 regional offices serving the United States and Puerto Rico, also offers information about institute-sponsored programs. The service provides specific information in English and Spanish about particular types of cancer and the availability of clinical trials. It also can obtain and forward to patients and their families information (including clinical trial listings) from the Physician Data Query. Calls are answered 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. local time Monday-Friday and automatically routed to the nearest regional office.

Full detailed profile on Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane Played by Lindsay Hartley on Passions Daytime Soap Opera.
Lindsay Hartley
Birthday: 1978-04-17
While Kay and Fox are about to make love, he goes into a trace. Kay damns Siren for putting him under her spell! The minute Theresa gets in position at the pie-throwing booth, Gwen comes up to throw the first pie. Jared witnesses Theresa taking it in stride, encouraging for more pies to be thrown her way. Jared steps up to throw a pie and surprises Theresa by smashing it in his own face. Siren tries getting out of the dunking machine, but Kay's right there to make sure she doesn't. With Siren's first dunk, her secret is out...� Everyone sees she's a mermaid!
At the mansion, Pilar and Theresa discuss joint custody for little Ethan. The two are cut short by Whitney's call, asking her to come to the Wharf. Once she hears that Ethan is at the Wharf, she jumps out of her chair and the two head to the Wharf.
At the Wharf, Gwen and Whitney bond over their matchmaking, but Theresa walks in on them, wondering what's going on. Whitney covers, showing her gorgeous ring to Theresa. The two girls tell Theresa that Jared is there, and how much of a help he is being.
Theresa offers her help to Jared, who brushes her off. Whitney asks her to give Jared some time.
Theresa asks Ethan to speak in private. Ethan lets it slip that he and Gwen will be leaving town by the end of the year. Theresa is distressed at the news, thinking to herself that if she is honest, she'll lose little Ethan. When Ethan asks what she wanted to talk to him about, she covers, telling him that she's sure Eve and Whitney are thankful for his help.
After she leaves, Ethan realizes that this is the second time she has tried to tell him something.
Pilar meets up with Theresa, who shares Ethan's news. Pilar still has a positive outlook that the two could be together, while Theresa stomps on that notion. She tells her mom that she can't bear to lose Jane, and little Ethan, and refuses to be honest.
Whitney tries to talk to Jared on Theresa's behalf. Chad pitches in to tell them about Theresa's history, and how she is a good person. Jared is deep in thought, but since he can't trust Theresa, he can't forgive her.
Pilar tells Ethan and Julian that there is something important she must tell them. Pilar starts to share the secret with the men when Theresa interrupts, ...I will tell them the truth.... She is about to tell them when Little Ethan runs in. After they greet the boy, they say goodnight, and outside the door, Theresa asks them to stop badgering them about custody, and then hurries down the stairs.
Pilar follows Theresa, and they continue their conversation. Theresa has hopes that once Eve comes back to the mansion to live, that Julian will forget about being father of the year.
Downstairs at the mansion, Theresa tells Ethan her fears about Julian. Ethan sticks up for him, telling him that Julian is trying, and he explains that he will help Julian take Theresa to court if she continues being uncooperative. They argue, and Theresa yells that she doesn't want to lose little Ethan, and Ethan tries convincing her that she'd be doing the right thing by giving him shared custody.

They should do a Where's Waldo type book and hide the guy in the Steelers bumble bee throw back. At least some of these fans like the Bee jerseys which is pretty cool. I've run into Steeler fans around the world, but I can't remember ever meeting one in the UK.
I didn´t see him till now. Wow, he scare me so much. I hope don´t see him at the London game...
You know what's even sadder?

Wala Na
I have chosen You.
Sweet and handsome mortal, come to me…
Whisper to me your longings,
and I shall tickle your ear with my saccharine breath.
I shall take you to places
where only gods and goddesses roam.
Aware am I of how my radiant beauty entrances you...
Be thankful to the Fates that it is you I have chosen.
I have sprung forth from Ocean's foam,
but we shall churn that sea...
Flowers at my feet would pale
to the flowers that spring forth from my heart
How I know too well that my eyes mesmerize
A twinkle from the windows of my soul
and I know I have captured you.
I would gladly take off these necklaces 'round my supple neck
if it means that your lips trail soft kisses instead…
I would happily unclasp these brooches in my hair,
and let my flowing tresses
tickle your gorgeous face and body,
as I take my turn to adorn you with my kisses.
I shall discard these golden robes made by the Kharites and the Horai
and reveal my nubile body for you to explore
with your eyes…
…with your hands
with your lips…
Let the Seasons be forgotten,
as we move to only know of Love.
I have chosen You.
Sweet and handsome mortal, Come to me…

Statement by the European Commission, the ECB and IMF on the Fifth Review Mission to Greece
A joint EC/ECB/IMF team has been discussing recent economic developments and reviewing policy implementation in the context of the fifth review of Greece's economic program. The mission has made good progress, but has temporarily left Athens to allow the authorities to complete technical work, among other things, related to the 2012 budget and growth-enhancing structural reforms. The mission expects to return to Athens by mid-September, when we expect the Greek authorities to have completed the technical work, to continue discussions on policies needed to complete the review.

Discussing tax laws and procedures
Underscoring its ability to attract experts who can provide the "inside baseball perspective" regarding monumental changes in the law, the Boston Bar Association today announced that Kevin Brown -- leader of the Washington National Tax Services' IRS Service Team at PricewaterhouseCoopers and a former IRS official who held the roles of Acting Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner for Services and Enforcement -- will speak at the BBA on Wednesday, February 13 when it presents Understanding the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA), a three hour CLE program.
"Kevin will provide perspective and context regarding the political currents that gave way to changes in the ATRA," said Stephen Ziobrowski, a partner in Day Pitney's Boston office who will also be presenting at the BBA CLE program. "His ability to provide the perspective of someone who has worked at the highest echelons of the IRS nationally will help attendees gain better insight on how this Act came to be, what we can anticipate next, and why."
ATRA is frequently misunderstood, with even some attorneys mistakenly believing that ATRA only affected tax rates, when in fact ATRA made significant changes in the tax law itself. The CLE will deal with Income Tax, Transfer Taxes, and Employment Taxes under ATRA.
Joining Kevin Brown and Stephen Ziobrowski on the panel will be Sara A. Wells and Travis L. Blais, both of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo; Julie Hogan Rodgers of WilmerHale; and Sean T. Donovan, Day Pitney.
The February 13 program will be made possible in part by a grant from the Federal Tax Institute Fund of the Boston Bar Foundation. Both the BBA's Trusts and Estates Section will be sponsors.
