Awesome goggles!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
got a pair with the bronze/silver chrome lens which has a VLT of 13%, my favourite do anything lens, perfect at blocking the sun on a bluebird day and still perform great on an overcast day. field of vision is good and makes it easy to spot landings. lens seems to be pretty scratch resistant so far. the goggles fit perfectly with my giro helmet, they feel good on the face and dont fog. that look super sick too!! clean and simple. have not tried any other electric lenses and dont think i need to, (i have a different pair of goggles for storm and night riding) at a reasonable price aswell. recomend them to anyone!

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 12, 2008 NATO's efforts against insurgents in Afghanistan are helping the Afghan people realize a better future, and the Atlantic Alliance should keep the door open to admit new members, a senior U.S. military commander told a Senate panel here today.
"NATO's efforts in Afghanistan are making a difference," Army Gen. Bantz J. Craddock, NATO's supreme allied commander for Europe and commander of U.S. European Command told Senate Foreign Relations Committee members.
Craddock said the alliance's security and reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan are making progress and "improving the lives of many Afghan citizens" while "creating the conditions for a better future."
The security situation in Afghanistan remains difficult, especially in the southern and eastern parts of the country, Craddock said, noting that the NATO International Security Assistance Force deployed to Afghanistan has achieved numerous victories against Taliban insurgents that threaten President Hamid Karzai's central government.
NATO's ISAF has 47,000 members, including about 19,000 U.S. troops.
"We are succeeding, but, indeed, not as fast as we, the international community, are capable of succeeding," Craddock said. NATO and its international partners "can and must do more" in Afghanistan, the four-star general emphasized.
The Afghan national army continues to increase in size and capability, Craddock reported, noting it is expected to exceed the ISAF in numbers sometime this year.
Afghanistan's national police force, too, has grown larger, Craddock pointed out. But, the capability of the country's constabulary "continues to lag significantly" behind that of the ANA, he added.
"Police performance needs to be urgently enhanced," Craddock emphasized. "Recent pay and performance reforms will help, but corruption, criminality, and lack of qualified leadership remain the most pressing areas."
While security gains are evident across Afghanistan, such progress "is slowed by force shortfalls in some key locations and capabilities," Craddock explained.
"We are at a critical juncture in Afghanistan, and the ISAF mission needs its military requirements filled immediately," the general said.
In addition, conditions of deployment, known as caveats, used by some NATO members limits or restricts the utility and movement of their forces in the Afghan theater of operations, Craddock noted.
"These caveats, like (troop) shortfalls, increase the risk to every soldier, sailor, airman and Marine deployed in theater," he emphasized.
Regarding the issue of admitting new members to NATO, Craddock pointed out that "enlargement has been an historical success, strengthening our alliance and serving as a powerful incentive to promote democratic reforms among aspiring members."
Several eastern European nations, including Croatia, Albania and Macedonia, have expressed their desire to join NATO one day.
"I believe the process of NATO enlargement is not complete," Craddock said. "NATO's door must remain open."
However, NATO candidates "must provide added value to the alliance," Craddock added.
"They must be contributors to security, not consumers of it," the general said.
Meanwhile, NATO's current obligations, including response-force needs in Afghanistan, are challenging its pool of available military manpower, Craddock pointed out. If unresolved, he said, this situation threatens to reduce the alliance's "force pool into a puddle."
"Key capability resourcing is crucial to ensuring NATO's ability to simultaneously execute its main task, respond to crises, and transform to meet future challenges," Craddock said.

Fabulous Friday: A Time for Directory Lists!
Filed under: SEO
Yup, been again one of those weeks…but for the first time this summer, we got caught up and moved ahead of Google et al with a couple of tests…
What kind of tests you might ask? Directory SEO linkjuice tests is the answer and that's perhaps "counter-intuitive" to some of our readers, eh!
What do I mean and hey, wait a minute, doesn't Google treat directory IBLs (inbound back links from directories) as pure garbage?

Ding Dong the witch is dead! Well the Google Authorship initiative is at least….the bell has tolled!
Wait, you say…what'm I talking about?
Okay, backstory first….
Google back in June of 2011, announced that it "would begin to support authorship markup. The company encouraged webmasters to begin marking up content on their sites with the rel="author" and rel="me" tags, connecting each piece of content to an author profile…" as Eric Enge put it so well here.

Google Pigeon UpDate: What you Gotta Know!
Filed under: SEO
About a month ago now, Google rolled out a brand new update to it's web results search algo, and it was quickly noted and named by the SEO community as the "Pigeon" update. And while it did make changes to the overall rankings for web search result serps, it didn't happen up here in the google.ca world till just this past week – at least our whole Canuck client roster was unaffected till then.
So, what's this Pigeon update and what do you need to know about same?

LOCAL SEO: A Checklist for On-Page Factors!
Filed under: SEO
It's always a surprise when I get a new LOCAL SEO Campaign client and do a competitors analysis for their channel – and when I say surprised what I mean is that it's really a set of on-page factors that must be done – and they're not! That is, while the new client may not know what to do it's the lack of just about anyone in their city and channel too, that always makes me shake my head with a "doh!"
Let's say you run a legal firm in your city. You have (like any professional does) certain "areas of expertise" like perhaps "personal injury" or "trademarks and patents" – which ones you choose to specialize on is of course up to you but when it comes to Google et al, what you want to do is to let them know – yup, you're the leader in that type of legal area in your city.

Do You Use Long-Tail Keywords? You Should!
Filed under: SEO
What are long-tail keywords and why might they be important to an SMB owner? Ah…some of the finest friends your website will ever have are "long-tails" when it comes to Google search results, so let's get into it!
A long-tail keyword is – as Google itself reports here - "Long-tail keywords are longer and more specific keyword phrases that visitors are more likely to use when they're closer to a point-of-purchase. They're a little bit counter-intuitive, at first, but they can be hugely valuable if you know how to use them…"

HTTPS is Now a Ranking Signal!
Filed under: SEO
SSL – the acronym means Secure Socket Layer is something that many SMB owners – perhaps other than those in the eCommerce space – have bumped into, and it's now becoming more important than ever for your website. It's the modified notation up front in any URL – the HTTPS instead of the HTTP notation that indicates that an SSL is being used by that site.
Why do I post about that here today?

Negative SEO: A Funny Guide….maybe?

Okay, the topic today is again, Negative SEO – the tactic that both exists and is in use by some to try to knock down the competition's rankings and replace their page 1 spots with your own. You know…more of a DEFENCE type maneuver than an OFFENCE one….and yes, I've reported on same before at some length too!
There has been much blogging press on this lately….perhaps because our own SEO guru Rand Fishkin over at moz.com has asked for some help in developing a case study that will irrefutably prove once and for all that it exists….I believe this to be a "cart ahead of the horse" type quest as I know for a simple fact that yes, it does exist….but that's not what today's post is about…

Revisting the HillTop Algo: AuthorRank Lives!
Filed under: SEO
Yup, I know…what is Hilltop and what do I mean by 'AuthorRank' too? Simply put, what I'm going to be talking about in this Canadian SEO blog post is what might be the newly intended value of the patented Hilltop algorithm that Google bought about a decade ago.
First, what's the Hilltop algo?
It was as Wiki states "…an algorithm used to find documents relevant to a particular keyword topic. Created by Krishna Bharat while he was at Compaq Systems Research Center and George A.

#JerkTech: Is ReservationHop a Disruptor or Not?

Simply Grilled Ginger-Soy Chicken
Okay, SO having a new born baby (that refuses to breast feed, therefore forcing her mommy to not only feed baby when hungry, but also be tied to a pump like a milk-maid every three hours around the the clock AND yes that includes the night time!) can be a bit time-consuming. Certainly more time consuming than I could have ever anticipated.
With that being said, I'm head over heels in love and truly enjoying my new Mommy role, I just haven't figured out how to do anything else in the course of a day that is not associated with this new role (ie. blogging, showering, washing the dishes;)).
The funny thing is that I have been cooking and making my weekly menu plan… I just haven't been able to photograph and record the recipes (I'll get there!).
ANYHOW… this is a very simple marinade for grilled chicken breast that I really liked. I used this chicken on top of my Asian Chicken Salad and liked it so much that I 've made it two weeks in a row!
With my limited cooking time, I 've become very friendly with my
dried herbs and spices. They're a FAST and EASY way to add tons of FLAVOR with
very little additional work (just open up the jar and pour).
As for the chicken, I just throw the marinade together in the morning and then let it sit in the fridge all day. Then when it's dinner time, simply send your husband and the chicken outside to the grill… HOW EASY IS THAT?;).
Gonna keep this post short and sweet but before I go, do you guys have any favorite "go-to" marinades for chicken? I sure would love some fresh ideas!!

Hi Dani,
Love your blog! I had breastfeeding problems 20 years ago and wanted to make sure that you have considered a lactation consultant. Breastfeeding difficulties are not unusual and who knew there were experts who could help?! Best of luck..!
Hang in there with the breastfeeding…….have you contacted your local La Leche League? They helped me out quite a bit when I was nursing. It is the best thing for at least the first three months. I eventually loved nursing and both mine weaned straight to sippy cup at about 11 to 14 months. Good luck!
I think about you many times trying to coordinate all the loves in your life. Kuddos to you always!
Cary, Katklaw, and Judy – Thanks for all the support and input. I have seen three lactation specialists, am attending a Mom's group and went to my first breastfeeding support group this past week.
The problem is that Katie does not root… and will not open up her mouth (which is usually a primal instinct) when I bring her to my boob.
Everyone thinks it has something to do with her jaw and the way she was laying in my pelvis (some sort of compression issue).
I just saw a wonderful doctor yesterday that is known to help baby's release the compression and get back to the boob! Hopefully we will get there soon:).
Thanks again!
Your doing an awesome job, just keep on trying. It's so worth it for your baby. Mine never liked the bottles but I didn't mind. We started shifting to sippy cups around nine months. Your chicken looks great…my husband will thank you for a new marinade.
My favorite is a little salt and pepper, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. It doesn't take long to marinate – 20 minutes and can be used for grilled chicken or chicken that is skewered and done under the broiler. Serve with a simple brushetta topping, tomato, fresh basil, salt, pepper, olive oil, a little garlic and a dash more balsamic vinegar OR with pasta topped with basil oil.
I had a baby just like yours. My first could not get the latch right and it became very painful. I was determined that he would get breastmilk. I pumped and bottled fed him the breastmilk for a year. (My next two breastfed just fine.) It can be done. Hang in there.
Dani, Bravo to you! You are hanging in there and not giving up, my son had the same issue and eventually came around and breastfeeding became a wonderful expreience. I love to marinate in Olive oil, Basil chiffonade, Fresh chopped garlic, Kosher salt and Fresh Cracked pepper. I love this marinade! I rencently used it on some Beef and Chicken Kabobs and they turned out wonderfully! Goodluck.
MAnders – Thanks. And I hope you and your hubby like the chicken.
Karen D. – Your marinade sounds great, thanks for sharing. And thanks for all th BF support (lord knows I need it!).
Marcia – It's always good to hear other peoples stories w/ BF so thanks for sharing! As for your kenbabs, I think I'm gonna give them a try!
Hi there,
I love your site. Was just looking through your wheat-free recipes and wanted to let you know that there is indeed wheat in your SIMPLE GINGER-SOY CHICKEN. Unfortunately soya sauce (and tamari) contain wheat. Options for the wheat sensitive are wheat free tamari or bragg's. Be well!
Love your site – you have so many great how to videos,,, very easy to follow..Thanks
Love your recipes! …. Good luck with the feedings. I gave birth just recently (Nate is now a few weeks old) and have been seeing a lactation consultant for help with pain while feeding. I had a wonderful experience with the delivery (pain-medication free), but found breastfeeding to be a much bigger challenge.
I look forward to following your updates.
This was outstanding! I only had time to marinate for an hour, but the flavor was still incredible. I ate the chicken for dinner one night and used leftovers in salads & wraps all week. I know this will be one I will keep in the rotation. Dani, thank you for another great recipe!
Hi Dani,
I made this for dinner tonight. I thought I was going to grill it last night so it ended up marinating for 24+ hours. I cooked it on my barbecue tonight and it was just delicious.
Definitely a keeper. Thank you so much for sharing it!
HI Dani,
I just found out your youtube channel and I fell in love with your videos.
You make healthy and clean food sooo delicious and the amount of love you put into making these videos and food is much appreciated. I am always looking for high protein recipes and yours' were so simple and delicious!
Now about my version of 'go to' chicken marinade :
In a mixing bowl add 3-4 tablespoons of greek yogurt and add to it 2 tbsp Lemon juice, garlic powder , ginger powder, onion powder, salt, chilli powder, turmeric and then finally add the chicken and leave it for a day and grill it. You will have the best grilled chicken! make sure to spray some oil while grilling on the chicken to save it from becoming too dry.
Love from India ,
There is "honey" listed in the ingredients but not in the directions. Is it safe to assume that I am to add the honey to the other ingredients or am I to drizzle the honey on the chicken after cooking? Thank you!

A wise man once said, �If we do not learn from mistakes of the past, we are doomed to repeat them.�
In a political sense, such wisdom is especially prophetic as we approach this election year.
For the past three years, the American people have witnessed a president whose leadership style reflects a disturbing pattern of contradictions. The facts speak for themselves when we see a president who:
�Maintains a moratorium on offshore drilling in the U.S. (as gasoline prices soar), but agrees to subsidize similar oil drilling in Brazil.
�Verbally opposes illegal immigration but takes legal action against one of his own states (Arizona) for stricter enforcement of the law.
�Talks repeatedly about lowering our dependence on foreign oil, but rejects the Keystone XL pipeline, estimated to provide 700,000 barrels of oil daily.
�Promises greater transparency in government but presides over one of the most secretive and autocratic administrations in history — i.e., Obamacare; Solyndra; recess appointments; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives� Fast and Furious scandal, etc.
�Publicly professes allegiance to our closest ally (Israel), but privately disparages its leader (Benjamin Netanyahu).
�Sends U.S. soldiers to deal with freedom uprisings in Libya where hundreds have died, but refuses help to Syria where thousands are dying.
�Expresses his concern about a growing national debt that has nearly doubled during his term, but ignores the recommendations of his own debt commission and offers no reforms to save Social Security or Medicare.
�Professes Christianity but denies two of its most sacred truths, the sanctity of life (he�s pro-�choice�) and the sanctity of marriage (he refuses to support the Sanctity of Marriage Act).
It has become painfully clear that the actions of President Barack Obama seldom match the rhetoric of his speeches.
Perhaps the most puzzling contradiction about this president is how such an obvious product of American capitalism and free enterprise system became so strong an advocate of European socialism, wealth redistribution and class warfare.
Historians will one day ponder how this 2008 Democratic candidate of ��hope and change� ever became a sitting president with such diverse and perplexing contradictions.

A lot of laughter and a few tears accompanied the VFW Post 308's 75th anniversary celebration Sunday, March 2. Recognizing fellow veterans and post members as a "brotherhood," Post Commander James Rebman said the members of the Tinkerfield Road post had served their country with honor and courage, and continue to serve their community. "We're here for the community and here for those who served," he said Sunday afternoon. A host of special guests offered remarks, before the party continued with cake and conversation.
The Daniel Barden Highland Mudfest takes place this year on April 5, at MJK Farms in Deansboro, N.Y. The 5K obstacle race is organized and run by volunteers, with support from business and corporate sponsors, and incorporates a half-mile Half Pint Kids' Fun Run for ages 5 to 12, as well as an additional 5-mile timed Mud Run for 250 elite entrants. The Mudfest honors the memory of first grader Daniel Barden, one of 20 children who perished at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. Organizer Daniel Williams of Deansboro is a personal friend of Mark and Jackie Barden, and their surviving children, James and Natalie, and came up with the idea for a mud run last year. More than 1,000 people registered to wallow in the mud and squeeze through a drainage pipe three-quarters full of mud, among other challenges in the inaugural event.
The Newtown Earth Day Committee is already making plans for its late April celebration. Newtown's Seventh Annual Earth Day Festival, which brings together school groups, families, green-minded organizations, food and drink vendors, children's activities, live music, and more, is slated for Saturday, April 26, between 10 am and 4 pm. It will again be presented on the front lawn of Newtown Middle School. Sharon Audubon Society will again offer birds of prey demonstrations, and Newtown Lions Club members will encourage residents to scour the roadsides in the annual Lose The Litter campaign. The Earth Day Festival Committee promises "a full day of family fun and learning." Heading into its seventh year, the festival is designed to highlight Newtown's abundant natural resources, help the community continue to become greener, and also continue to raise funds for the festival committee's scholarship fund. The committee has donated more than $4,000 toward scholarships during the last three years.
Lingering snow may be on the ground with more in the forecast, and many are counting down the days until the beginning of spring, but Marie Athans is already thinking about summer.

The get-together will be between 4 and 6 pm, with free pizza and surprises for children.

"Leave your mark" on the Newtown Park and Bark dog park, is the message from park friends. Launching a buy-a-brick campaign this month, the Friends of Newtown Park and Bark, which is under construction and will open in early May, is selling Havana red 4-by-8-inch and 8-by-8-inch bricks for $100 and $200, respectively. The bricks will be used to create a walkway from the park entrance into the off-leash park, located on Old Farms Road, adjacent to the new Brian J. Silverlieb Animal Care and Control Center. Bricks purchased by April 1 will be included in the walkway in time for the grand opening on Saturday, May 3. Bricks will still be available after April 1, but will not be included in the initial installation.
Although it was only the second time that it had staged an awards ceremony, Newtown Kindness brought together several hundred people at Edmond Town Hall on the night of Saturday, February 22, to honor the memory of Charlotte Bacon, one of the first grade children who died in the 12/14 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School. On what would have been Charlotte's eighth birthday, Newtown Kindness provided several dozen Charlotte Bacon Acts of Kindness Awards to children from across the US and Canada for performing acts of kindness. The organization presented eight awards to finalists, 35 awards to medalists, and one legacy award during the ceremony held in the historic building's theater.

Policy and Guidelines for World-Wide-Web Site: Copyright Protection
UMM WWW Advisory Group
Last revised June 1, 2000
Copyright protection of published works is a complex area of law and university policy. These guidelines concern only the appropriate form of a statement of copyright on web pages designed for the University of Minnesota, Morris's web site, and are not intended to serve as a guide either to the law concerning copyright protection, nor to university policies concerning either publication of information on the world wide web or an individual's intellectual property rights related to material created in an individual's capacity as an employee of the University of Minnesota.
Pages created by employees of the University of Minnesota for individual units of the university (such as individual university departments, offices, disciplines, or divisions) are considered to be owned by the Regents of the University of Minnesota. As such, a copyright statement of the form
"© Original Publication Date by the Regents of the University of Minnesota" (for example, "© 2015 by the Regents of the University of Minnesota")
should appear in the footer material at the bottom of all unit web pages.
A copyright statement of the form
"© Original Publication Date Page Owner" (for example, "© 2001 Jane Q. Faculty")
should appear in the footer material at the bottom of any personal or professional page whose copyright protection the page owner wishes to emphasize. Examples might include creative content on a student home page or specialized instructional material posted for a course by a faculty member. If there is any question whether a page should be considered to be a unit page, or a personal/professional page hosted on the University of Minnesota Morris website, please contact the webmaster for guidance.
A web page is a publication, and as such the date of the copyright should be the date of first publication, and not the date the document was last modified. However, if a page undergoes substantive revisions, it may be considered to be a new publication (or a new "edition" of an extant publication), and as such a revised copyright date may be appropriate under some circumstances. One option in these situations would be to include a range of dates in the copyright statement, as in "© 1999-2015 by the Regents of the University of Minnesota".)

The new finds significantly impacted the early agricultural towns and villages.
New settlements were established to service thousands of prospectors and miners who came and went.
Many came from Australia and overseas to win the gold, many set up businesses to feed and supply the miners, while some chose to steal.
Today, this golden heritage vein underpins the story of nearly every major town and village across central and south west NSW.
Every goldfield has its own trail to follow – every goldmining family their own story to tell.
Follow the GOLD TRAILS and discover for yourself, the heritage riches underpinning the towns, villages and landscapes of NSW.
Here the stories of those who won the gold and those who stole the gold, are brought to life by communities committed to conserving and sharing their heritage.

The number of children qualifying for seats in gifted programs in New York City public schools declined slightly this year after the Department of Education overhauled its admissions process in part to combat a recent explosion in eligibility.
Of the 36,012 children tested, 9,020 of them qualified for seats in gifted and talented programs in September, a decrease from the 9,644 who qualified a year earlier, according to data released by the department on Monday.
At the most competitive levels, the decline was even greater, with 1,363 children this year scoring in the 99th percentile, the highest level, compared with 2,144 a year ago, the department said.

Getting f*cked up, Israeli style: TLV ranks first globally for "best beach party" scene
Tel Aviv's party scene is vibrant both on and off the sands (Shutterstock)
Tel Aviv is topping charts this week, for getting F*cked up that is.
Yes, you read that right.
According to Haaretz, USA Today has ranked Tel Aviv in the number one spot of its new travel guide called "101 Places to Get F*cked Up Before You Die."
The list, which ranks "the best beach party spots on the planet," put Tel Aviv in the top slot not just for its lovely sands and blue waters, but also due to the ease in which tourists can "chat up locals" to find out where the best parties are in town.
Tel Aviv's laid back licensing scene (both on and off the beach) further promises tourists one heck of a f*cked up experience in the variety of new (and legendary!) clubs that keep Tel Aviv's scene pulsating 'til the tide comes in.

A grandmother in Oregon believes she is being unfairly targeted and harassed by her mobile home community's new landlord because she is gay, an allegation that recently received some attention from the local news after vandals spray-painted the words "die dike" on the side of her home.
Melanie Powell tells KOIN6 that she's been living as an openly gay woman in her Rainier mobile home park for 25 years without incident, and only recently felt discriminated against when a change in management gave her a new, aggressively homophobic landlord.
"I got my gay pride flag hanging out front," she says. "I've kept my business inside my house. I don't put it in people's faces."
But despite being a rather low-key and rule-abiding resident, Powell says new property manager Maureena Schmaing has issued her several absurd violation notices, which she lays out for reporter Chris Holmstrom in the report below. One of the violations is for "using a flashlight," while another threatens her for "being outside after 10pm."
Among Powell's several other notices are an order to repair her porch, her one-year-old roof, and to repaint her entire home. Concerned neighbors tell KOIN6 that they've received no such notices since Schmaing took over, and believe Powell is definitely being unfairly harassed due to her sexual orientation.
"I'm tired of being yelled at, screamed at, vulgar language, being accused of doing stuff we are not doing," Powell added.
William Pierce, Powell's neighbor, claims he's intervened several times when Schmaing comes to Powell's home to verbally assault her.
When confronted, Schmaing delivers a smugly assholish response to the allegations: "I'm a landlord. I follow the Manufacturing Housing Oregon Law, and I follow all the Title 10 Law with any park site I manage."
But this story will most likely have a happy ending, as the report indicates overwhelming support coming from Powell's neighbors. "It's a great deal of support," she said. "I don't know what I would do without having all these people on my side."
Always be suspicious of anti-gay graffiti. Sometimes it's real, but it's also one of the most commonly faked hate crimes.
@Dae: Sounds like you're a bit biased in your response there Dae. If you've been in that park do you know specifically which unit is Melanie Powells and can you cite her specific violations? Being cited for using a flashlight and being outside after 10 pm sure sounds harassing. The fact that according to you everyone in this park was guilty of violations yet Ms. Powell is the only one getting violation notices seems harassing. Again, your bias is clearly showing when you talk about those poor Landlords getting unjustly accused by the fill in the blank card playing tenants. Has a landlord never abused their powers or let their personal feelings interfere in doing their duties properly? Sounds like Ms Powell has been living there openly for 25 years but the vandalism only happened recently, which coincides with the arrival of this new landlord. Is that coincidence? Maybe. Sure seems silly for you to insist that the landlord didn't do it unless you have some proof to back up your statement.
Are you sure you're not Maureena Shmaing?
Someone ought to look into Maureena Schmaing's background.

The Bowery is a neighborhood with an illustrious, if somewhat checkered past.
The Bowery was carved out of a Lenape Indian footpath that covered the length of what was to become Manhattan, and 100 years before John Hancock thought to put quill to parchment, was the main route used by the Dutch settlers of New York traveling between the center of their colony (near Battery Park) and the farmlands further north.
After the Revolutionary War, wealthy families with names like Astor and Delancey built grand homes along The Bowery, as well as theaters that featured popular operas and ballets, and circuses with elaborate equestrian shows. — These attractions along with market gardens and trading posts made Bowry Lane, as it was then called, second only to Broadway in terms of popularity.
With the theaters came the pubs, ale houses, and by the time of the Civil War, pawn shops, flophouses and brothels. By the turn of the century the once fashionable and sophisticated Bowery had become the eastern most border of America's most notorious neighborhood, the Five Points.
The construction of the Third Ave. El in 1878, an elevated train that shuttled New Yorkers from The Bronx to lower Manhattan, cast a dense shadow over The Bowery that embraced and concealed the rambunctious, depraved behavior now common on The Bowery and cemented the area's reputation as New York's skid row.
This is, until 1955 when The El was closed and The Bowery began a cycle of rebirth that continues today. It was in the 1970's however, that The Bowery began to uncover — or rather, rediscover — it's artistic and cultural promise. Russian abstract expressionist Mark Rothko lived and worked the neighborhood and Andy Warhol's film company bought two buildings on Great Jones which housed young and upcoming artists like Jean Michelle Basquiat. Meanwhile, one the east side on Bowery and 2nd, a rock club called CBGB's helped shake the change out of the pockets of the hit parade by championing a new style of music that would lead to a culture unto itself. It was called Punk. Richard Hell, Patti Smith, The Ramones and the New York Dolls were among the first group of musicians that rejected the overindulgence of mainstream disco and the all-too common extended guitar solos of 70′s hard rock. They helped bring hard, rhythmic, stripped down songs back to the front lines of popular music.
Today, The Bowery you walk through is completely up to you. It all depends on what you're looking for. From any point on The Bowery you can find yourself in a museum, restaurant, boutique or bar in less time than it takes to say Jack Robinson. William S. Burroughs, who lived in an apartment he named 'The Bunker' 222 Bowery, said "There couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. They'd be dead in two weeks." The
Bowery Project dreams of a community that provides support for one another, from East 4th to Chatham Square and Mulberry to Allen — and exits to help visitors and locals find their way…
… So, which Bowery will you walk through today?

In the heart of London's media world, leading American video artist Tony Oursler created a spectral son-et-lumiére for our image-saturated age. In The Influence Machine the artist delved deep into the early 'phantasmagorical' days of the moving image and mixed modern technology with the wonder of the magic lantern (courtesy Artangel/the artist)

The primary carving stones are Italian Alabaster, either translucent white (where light will pass through the stone) or opaque white (where light will not penetrate the stone), and Soapstone (talc block) which will be mostly light and dark green in color.
Stone is usually classified into four groups each defined by its hardness or carvability. Soapstone is the softest. Alabaster is the second hardest and is considered a medium hard stone as are sandstone and limestone which are abrasive stones. And alabaster comes in many colors. However, the favorites of sculptors everywhere are the translucent and opaque white alabaster. Green soapstone and white alabaster are suggested as carving stones for beginners.

"The French have been a force within the decorating world ever since Louis XIV swung open the gilded gates leading to his father's once modest hunting lodge—refashioned into the sumptuous Château de Versailles—in the late seventeenth century. . .But for some time now, gentrification has been freeing classique French furniture from its historically formal association, mostly in revived neighborhoods of the capital closest to the center of the city."

Product Reviews
Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 26 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nwtxn Mini iPad accessories The accessory for hand, stand, and multiple ways to use anywhere is great. April 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Safet1 Utility Series I purchased this for my ipad mini. I got it so that while using this at work it easier to type on with out worry of dropping the ipad. While have a defender to total protect the ipad, this just a a greater degree of protection and ability to hold the ipad while typing on the ipad. Really great December 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jode very useful the strap is very helpful. I have child sized hands and having the Latch II on my Galaxy Tab 3 helps so much when it comes to holding my tablet and using it. My hand barely stretches across it to hold it, making it very difficult to hold. The strap makes it like a 'camcorder' or a baseball mitt and my hand is very snug underneath and I don't drop it. I have my hand inside it when I'm laying down using my tablet and it's much easier and more comfortable than before. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to use the shield that came with my Galaxy Tab 3 Otterbox with the Latch, but with the shield snapped onto either the front or the back of the tablet the Latch still fits over it. The Latch strap does not make it stand propped up angled like the shield does, but I'll take it because it's more comfortable to have on my stomach when I'm laying down than the shield stand. I received this free from Otterbox for when they gave me a $60 credit for my phone case being discontinued so I can't complain. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ConcreteOverdose Nice Fit The smaller version of the Latch fits just right on the iPad mini. I use it all the time to carry my mini hanging off my belt or pocket with the included S-clips in the accessory pouch. The shorter elastic and rubberized corners grip well and hold it securely in the carrier. July 7, 2014

How to Be a Good Boyfriend As a Teen
Four Parts:Communicate WellBe AttentiveBe AffectionateMake it Last
It's hard enough to learn how to be a good boyfriend at any age, but it's even harder to be a good boyfriend as a teen because it's likely that you and your girlfriend don't have much dating experience. Still, if you learn to communicate and stay attentive and affectionate, you'll be on your way to being a great boyfriend as a teen in no time at all.
Part 1 of 4: Communicate Well
1Be honest. If you want to be a good boyfriend as a teen, then you have to learn to be honest with your girlfriend. This doesn't mean that you have to tell her every thought that runs through your head, but it does mean that you should be able to tell her if you're in a bad mood, if you're upset because you did poorly on the math test, or that you wish she wouldn't call you every five minutes.
- Part of honesty is tact. If you have to be honest about something you wish she did or didn't do, tell her in a kind and sympathetic way so she doesn't get mad at you.
- Don't pretend that you never had another girlfriend if you did. You don't have to go into all the details with your girlfriend, but you shouldn't lie about your past.
- You don't have to tell your girlfriend everything -- for example, if you think the girl in your gym class is cute, you can just keep that to yourself.
- If she finds out that you've been dishonest, that will break her trust very quickly.
2Compromise. Part of growing up and being a good boyfriend, as well as being a good son and friend, is learning that you can't always get what you want. You may want to see the new Bond movie with your friends, but she may really want to have date night -- you have to learn how to pick your battles and how to make sure that both people in the relationship are happy.
- Remember that it's better to be happy than right. If you think you're girlfriend really wants something while you just kind of want it, let her get her way.
- Be mature. If you and your girlfriend are arguing about something, sit down and make a list of all the pros and cons of each decision. That can help you both get perspective on the situation.
- Make sure that both people are compromising. It's not a real compromise if you always end up getting your way, or if your girlfriend always ends up getting what she wants.
- Learn to take turns. Maybe you can pick the dinner place tonight, but she can pick the movie tomorrow.
3Say you're sorry. Part of being a master communicator is learning to say you're sorry if you made a mistake. You may think that admitting you're wrong will only make you look worse, but quite the contrary is true. If you acknowledge that you've made a mistake and even apologize by giving the girl flowers or a sweet note, she'll like you much more than if you ignore the fact that you did something wrong and hope she'll get over it.
- It's not easy to say you're sorry -- it can be very humbling. But if you get into the habit of apologizing when you've done something wrong, it will feel much more natural.
- When you say you're sorry, you should sound like you mean it. Sit down, look into your girlfriend's eyes, and even take her hands if you need to. This will show her that you're making time to apologize. If you just mutter the word "Sorry" as you pass by, or apologize in a text message, she won't take you seriously.
4Don't fight for no reason. It's important to have disagreements from time to time and to work together to find a solution to the problem, but constantly fighting for no reason and with little provocation is a quick way to ruin your relationship. Teenage couples are prone to fighting a lot because they don't have a lot of experience compromising or having serious discussions with people they're romantically involved with, and this does take practice.
- Whenever you find yourself raising your voice or even shouting, just calm down and take a few deep breaths. You won't resolve anything if you're feeling emotional or heated.
- If you think your girlfriend is starting a lot of fights, communicate about why this is happening and how it can be changed.
- If you're kind of annoyed about something minor and have the urge to pick a fight, ask yourself if it's really worth it.
- Don't let your anger build up -- if you're really mad about something, it's better to communicate about it than to avoid the topic and wait for weeks until so much anger has built up that you feel like fighting.
Part 2 of 4: Be Attentive
1Understand her moods. Some teenage girls are prone to mood swings because of their raging hormones, and because of the natural confusion that comes with growing up. If you want to be a good boyfriend, then you have to be attentive to her moods and to understand when she's feeling happy or when she's annoyed or even upset. She may be trying to hide her moods, but as you get to know her better, you should understand how she's really feeling.
- If she's clearly upset about something, you can ask her to open up about why. If she doesn't want to talk about it, don't push it or keep asking about it, or she'll feel much worse.
- If she's sad, give her some love and affection. Ask if she wants to stay in instead of going out, or how she feels like dealing with her mood. She may want to be left alone, or she may just want to snuggle with you.
- Don't say, "I can tell you're in a bad mood." Instead, say, "Is something wrong? I'm worried that you're upset. Talk to me." If you accuse her of being in a bad mood, she may get annoyed and defensive.
2Do her favors. If you really want to be a good boyfriend, then you should be attentive to her needs. Maybe she's really busy during lunch because she has to cram for her Spanish exam -- offer to buy her lunch in the lunch line while she studies. If she stays home sick, offer to pick up her homework from her teachers.
- If she needs a ride somewhere, offer to give her one if you can drive.
- If she needs help, she may not admit it right away, so be attentive and see if there's anything you can do.
- Make sure there's a balance. If you do favors for her, she should help you out, too. If it's a one-way street, then she may be taking advantage of you.
3Be supportive. You should recognize that your girlfriend is her own person and that you should support her as she tries to reach her goals as well as when she deals with any conflict in her life. Here are some ways to be supportive:
- If you know she has a big test coming up, then you should either give her space to study or help her if you can.
- If she's really passionate about soccer, tennis, or some other school sport, then you should cheer her on on the sidelines during her big games.
- If she's going through some trouble at home, make sure to be extra attentive and to ask if there's anything you can do. And if she doesn't want to talk about it, she doesn't want to talk about it.
- Ask about her interests. If you know she's passionate about painting or playing the violin, support her by letting her talk about these interests and sharing how much they mean to her.
4Pay attention to her friends. It's very important to be attentive to your girlfriend, and it's also key to pay attention to her friends. Friends can make or break teenage relationships, and if her friends love you, they'll tell her how lucky she is to have found an amazing guy like you. But if they don't like you because you're rude or ignore them, they'll tell her that you're a jerk and may even convince her that she can do better and that she should break up with you ASAP.
- Be friendly to her friends. Say hi, even if your girlfriend isn't around, and ask them how they're doing. You can even talk to them about their interests and get to know them a bit.
- Don't ignore them. If you approach your girlfriend when she's with a group of friends, make sure to greet them when you do.
- Don't tell your girlfriend that you don't like her friends. Even if they're a little annoying, they mean a lot to her, and if you admit this, you'll be making a rift in your relationship.
5Don't ignore her in front of your friends. This is an important point. If your girlfriend is hanging out with you and your buddies, or even if you're hanging out in a group surrounded by all of your friends, you should still pay attention to her and let her know that she's important to you. Don't ditch her as soon as your friends show up, or she'll start to feel like a burden or like a last priority.
- If you two are hanging out with your friends, you should sit next to her and include her in the conversation. Don't leave her hanging.
- Help your friends get to know her. If your friends are shy or awkward around your girlfriend, it'll be hard to have a good time. Bring up some common interests for your friends and your girlfriend to talk about.
6Pay attention to your looks. If you want to be a good boyfriend, you should be attentive to your appearance. You don't have to look like a teenage pop star to show your girlfriend that you care about how you look when you're around her. Just shower regularly, shave if that's what you normally do, and wear flattering, well-fitting, and unwrinkled clothes.
- If you look sloppy around her, she'll think that she's not important to you.
- It's important to look nice, especially before you pick her up on a date. Show her that she's worth the effort it takes to look nice.
7Be a gentleman. Though it may be hard to be a gentleman when you're a teenager, you should try to treat your girlfriend with respect as much as you can. Part of being a gentleman means being attentive to your girlfriend's needs, from opening the door for her or her friends to hanging up her coat if she comes over.
- If you pick her up, open the car door for her.
- Let her walk into a room first, before you.
- If she looks cold, offer her your coat.
- If you take her out to dinner, pull out her chair for her to sit down.
8Know when she needs space. If you really want to be attentive, then you should notice when your girlfriend wants to be left alone. Space and privacy are necessary for every healthy relationship, so don't be put off if it seems like your girlfriend wants a night in to herself or even a night with the girls. If you're always around, then your relationship may be becoming too intense. Take some time apart from your girlfriend so you have time to gain perspective and realize how much you miss each other.
- If you're always around, then she may start to feel that you're controlling or domineering. Let her do her own thing.
- If she wants to be alone, be cool with it. If you look upset or hurt, she'll think you're insecure.
- Leave some room in her schedule. Don't try to plan your weekends so you're together every second and don't have time for your families or other friends.
Part 3 of 4: Be Affectionate
1Compliment her. It's natural if you feel a bit shy about complimenting your girlfriend. If you're a teen, then this may be your first, or one of your first relationships, and you may feel awkward about telling your girlfriend that she looks nice or for complimenting her outfit, but you should get into the habit of complimenting her. This will let her know that you like her and notice her, and that she means a lot to you.
- You should compliment her even more if she gets a new haircut or wears a new outfit.
- You can tell her she looks pretty whenever you want to -- it doesn't have to be only when she's all dressed up. If she looks cute in a tank top and a pair of casual shorts, let her know.
- You don't have to overdo it -- just make sure to compliment her at least once every time you see her.
- You don't only have to compliment her looks -- you can compliment an aspect of her personality, like her amazing sense of humor, or you can tell her that she's an amazing gymnast or that she's great at French.
2Give her physical affection. If you want to be affectionate, you should put your arm around your girlfriend from time to time, hold hands, or even give her a quick kiss when you see her. You don't have to overwhelm her or put your hands all over her whenever you see her, but you should give her some sign that you like being around her, even if it's just a gentle squeeze on the hand after class.
- Learn to cuddle. Spend some time hugging her, stroking her hair, or showering her with kisses. Put you arms around her waist! Girls love this, they feel protected and safe in your arms.
- Only be as affectionate as she wants you to be. Don't make her feel like she's getting groped in public or like she doesn't have room to breathe.
- Take it easy on the PDA. You'll find that often, the couples that are the most comfortable with each other don't need to hold hands 24/7 or to make out in public. You can show her affection in public, but only as much as makes her comfortable.
3Ask her if she is ready to take the next step. Do not pressure her though. It will make her very uncomfortable.
- You can do this by literally asking her.
- You can also try something new out whenever it seems natural, whether during a kiss or something out of the blue. But just be careful to read both her verbal reactions and her physical cues clearly, and stop if she's not comfortable.
- Don't rush her! Let her work at her own pace. If she says she doesn't want to, don't keep asking, or you could jeopardize how safe she feels with you.
4Give her small gifts. Gifts are a great way to show your affection for your girlfriend, no matter how small or silly they are. If you're a teen, you probably don't have a lot of spending money, and you don't have to save up to get her a diamond necklace. Just give her a cute and silly teddy bear for Valentine's Day, a bouquet of flowers on her birthday, or tickets to the movie she wanted to see as a special treat.
- It's not the actual gift that counts -- it's the gesture. A gift shows that you've taken time to think about her.
5Leave her sweet notes. Sweet notes are another old fashioned and romantic way to let your girlfriend know that you've been thinking about her. Leave them in her locker or hand them to her after school, or even at the end of a romantic date. You don't have to say much in the notes -- just tell her that you've been thinking about her and compliment something about her.
- Don't leave the notes if it feels forced. But if you really want to show your affection this way, she'll love it.
- You can also just text her randomly, saying things like "I love you" or "Thinking of you". This feels a little less personal than leaving notes, but it is better than nothing, especially if you're apart for a period of time and can't leave her notes.
6Make time for romance. Part of being affectionate is making time when just the two of you can hang out, go on a date, and talk about how much you like each other -- or about nothing at all. You should try to have a "date night" at least once every week or two so you and your girlfriend can have time to make your relationship move forward.
- You and your girlfriend can alternate picking where you'll go and what you'll do. Maybe she wants to go mini-golfing one weekend and you want to go to the beach another time.
- Almost any situation can be romantic if you're alone with your girlfriend and show her lots of affection. You can have a romantic time at the county fair or even when you're watching a silly movie.
- You should also make time for the guys, but don't make your girlfriend feel like she's a last priority.
Part 4 of 4: Make it Last
1Pursue some interests together. If you want to be a good boyfriend and to make your relationship last a long time, then you and your girlfriend should find some interests to pursue together. Though it may be hard to do this with your busy schedules, you should find an activity that you both like to do, like playing tennis together on weekends, or trying every sushi restaurant in town.
- You can even find a new TV show that you're both addicted to.
- It doesn't matter what you do -- what matters is that you're building more interests together, which will give you more to look forward to and to talk about throughout the course of your relationship.
2Keep it fresh. If you've been with your girlfriend for a while, things can begin to fall into a routine, and you may feel like your relationship is losing that special spark. Make sure to keep things interesting by finding new ways to compliment your girlfriend, going to new spots during your date nights, and finding new interests to pursue together.
- Be spontaneous. Pick her up after school and drive her to a park for an impromptu picnic.
- Don't do the same thing every weekend. Make sure you try at least one new things together every time you go out, even if it means seeing the same movie in a different theatre.
- Don't forget about your looks. You should continue to look nice, even if you've been together for a while. If you slack off in this department, she may think you don't care anymore.
3Maintain some independence. If you're in a teenage relationship, then it's never a good idea to spend all of your time together with your significant other. Let's face it -- teenage relationships are less likely to last than adult relationships, or even college relationships, so you shouldn't invest 100% of your time in each other or you may both be disappointed. Your relationship can continue to grow and strengthen while both of you still remember who you are without each other.
- Continue to make time for your guy friends. Don't ditch them completely to hang out with your girlfriend.
- Don't let your girlfriend ditch her friends to hang out with you all the time, either.
- Don't stop pursuing your interests just because of your girlfriend. Continue to practice with your band, even if she doesn't like the music.
- If you and your girlfriend are always together, you won't have any room to step back and gain some perspective. Being apart helps you value what you have, and to think about anything that may not be working.
4Don't move too fast. If you're a teenage guy, then it's likely that you have raging hormones and want to make out, or do much more, with your girlfriend whenever you can. But whether you want to move a little further than kissing or to go all the way, you have to make sure that your girlfriend is completely ready to take this step.
- Don't ever pressure your girlfriend to do more than she wants to do. She may feel forced to give in to you, and she will regret it later.
- If you keep trying to move too fast, your girlfriend may think that you're not in the relationship for the right reasons.
- Let your girlfriend make the calls sometimes. Wait for her to tell you what she wants instead of making it clear that you want more.
- You should avoid moving too fast not only in the bedroom, but in general. Don't start talking about college or your potential futures together until you've been together for a long time and feel truly serious about each other.
We could really use your help!
- This cannot be stressed enough, when your girlfriend is talking to you KEEP EYE CONTACT!! Don't look away this can be seen as you're not listening, don't look at her...you know...because that's disrespectful, especially don't look at a girl that walks by because that's just wrong and cliché, yet don't awkwardly stare at her.
- When she is venting about something (whether it's about her life or about your relationship,) don't turn it into something about you. She's just telling you her feelings. Tell her your feelings at another time.
- Don't change for her. She's going out with you, isn't she? That means that she likes you for who you are.
- Make an effort to get along with her friends. Be friendly, but don't flirt with them. Your girlfriend could easily be hurt by this. Do your best not to argue with them. Make a good connection with them since they know her best and can influence her thoughts about you.
- Be cheesy. Roses for Valentine's day, telling her she's beautiful when she's wearing sweatpants, etc. BUT don't over-do it. That's never attractive.
- Be caring, nice, and funny! Girls always want a little laughter.
- Let her play with your hair, even if she's messing it up. Don't make a big deal about it because she will feel bad about it. She'll also feel like she can't touch you anymore, or can't be comfortable around you which you obviously don't want!
- Don't be paranoid. Let her talk to other guys, don't always worry that she's gonna break up with you, don't always wonder if she's pissed, etc. Just love her as much as you can and treat her right and hopefully everything will turn out right.
- If she thinks that you are cheating on her, or that you like someone else; make sure that you remind her how much you love her. Do something cute, or really nice to remind her that she means so much to you.
- Make sure that you don't say "I love you" too early in a relationship. You should always wait at the very least a few weeks before telling her that; not only because you really need to mean it, but because you need to be sure the relationship won't just start and stop in a short period of time. It hurts so very much to be told you're loved and wanted and be told the exact opposite a couple months into the relationship.
- Vary your word choice. Don't always call her "beautiful" and don't always call her "sexy." Mix it up. Better yet, compliment her on things other than her appearance or on things uniquely attractive on her. (For example: her adorable nose, her confidence in any situation, her graceful neck, the way she accepts everyone for who they are, etc.)
- Make sure you talk to her every single day. It doesn't matter if it is a text, or a call, or if it is in person. Make sure she knows you care and love her.
- Opposites attract. You can like different things. Even if you have lots in common, you can still like different things and have a strong relationship.
- Listen to her music before you decide you don't like it. Even if it's a genre you don't normally pay attention to. If after some time you still don't like it, try to nicely tell her you have other interests. Share your music with her. Don't tell her it's "gay," that's very offensive.
- Answer her phone calls, and don't complain if she wakes you up.
- Don't obsess about her past. She's with you now and that's what's important.
- When you are upset and she goes to comfort you, don't be afraid to show emotions, but don't overdo it! Girls love it when their guy feels comfortable enough with them to shed a few tears when they are sad, or stressed, or are just feeling a little under the weather. And remember, it's not good to keep your most private emotions from the girl you love.
- Don't try too hard. Girls find it kind of weird when guys try to impress them too much. But some girls do like when you try to impress them a little bit.
- Bring her flowers from time to time
- Don't stare at her breast when you are talking.
- When you give her gifts for her birthday, don't give her money or gift cards, make them real gifts. It lets her know you care and that you don't think of her as a prostitute.
- Don't not rush your relationship because you feel pressured to enter a deeper relationship. Remember that you are young and have lots of time.
- Don't let every fight mean you have to break up. Even the best couples fight but they get through it. NEVER threaten to break up during a fight because it means the relationship is always one fight away from ending.
- If she has guy friends, don't get jealous. It's annoying and incredibly clingy. Just tell her subtly that it kind of bothers you that she spends so much of her time with them. Never overdo it.
- NEVER ask for nude pictures. If she wants you to see her naked, she'll do it for you in person.
- Don't be jealous of her exes. She's with you, not with them. In the same way, don't make her jealous of your exes. Keep conversations about them to an absolute minimum.
- If you aren't feeling the same way about her, tell her. Its damaging to be in a relationship, without knowing the others feelings
- Don't tell her to get off your lap. If your leg is falling asleep have her change her position a little. Be gentle. If you tell her to get off, she'll think she's fat or heavy.
- Remember that no matter who, no matter when, any guy has a chance to sweep any woman off her feet. No woman wakes up saying, "God, I hope I don't get swept off my feet today!" You just have to get on the right path.
- Don't try to make her jealous, or suggest that she may be jealous. But if you do suppose she is jealous, give her some extra affection.
- Don't tell her you think other girls are hot, even if she asks your opinion. This can be very damaging. You don't want to hear about how much she likes Taylor Lautner. It's the same with her. She doesn't want to hear you talk about Megan Fox. It's worst for girls since they're extra insecure.

Oregon loan officer charged in $1.5 million fraud allegations
In the following press release Karin J. Immergut, U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon (pictured below), announced a federal indictment was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon charging Kamau Herndon, 37, of Portland, with six counts of wire fraud, one count of mail fraud, three counts of money laundering, and one count of aggravated identity theft in connection with a mortgage fraud scheme.
Agents from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Investigation Division and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Herndon on Thursday, February 19, 2009 in Gresham at Mt. Hood Community College on the 11-count indictment. The defendant is scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dennis J. Hubel on Friday, February 20, 2009 at 1:30 p.m.
The indictment charges Herndon with submitting three materially false loan applications to purchase homes totalling more than 1.5 million dollars for his girlfriend, including one which was purchased without her knowledge. The indictment charges Herndon, a former loan officer at Lighthouse Financial Group in Vancouver, Washington, with submitting three residential loan applications and related documents which contained false verifications of rental history, false statements regarding the residency intentions of the buyer, and which failed to disclose that the sales price was inflated and in excess of the true sales price, so that a kickback could be given to Herndon. The mail and wire fraud charges carry a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years for each count and a fine of up to $250,000. Each money laundering charge carries with it a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years and a fine of up to $250,000. Finally, the single count of aggravated identity theft carries with it a mandatory two-year consecutive term in prison.
[Ed. note the following properties are mentioned in the indictment, click here to read it.
- 7712 SE 120th Place. Portland, OR
- 17978 SE Nature Way. Milwaukie, OR
- 8307 Sierra Drive. Edmonds, WA
A reader informs me that more people are going to be charged, more when available]
U.S. Attorney Karin J. Immergut stated that "Greed drove the brazen conduct in this case. The U.S. Attorney's Office and our law enforcement partners have made the investigation and prosecution of mortgage fraud a top priority. We will devote the resources necessary to aggressively pursue those who engage in crime that has had a devastating impact on the economy."
An indictment is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant should be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The case is being investigated by IRS Criminal Investigation Division, the United States Postal Inspection Service and the FBI. Assistant U. S. Attorney and Senior Litigation Counsel, Allan M. Garten is prosecuting the case.
The Associated Press reports Kamau Herndon has pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and agreed to help the goverment in its efforts with other mortgage fraud cases. He is scheduled for sentencing on September 21, 2009.

Quick-fire goals from Darius Charles and John Mousinho added to Jimmy Smith's first-half strike as the home side stretched their unbeaten run to four league games.
Curtis Obeng's own goal with two minutes left was nothing more than a consolation for Rovers.
Despite the victory - a third in the last four games - Boro remain in the relegation places but Westley believes that could all soon change.
"We were strong, it was a determined display, we did what we had to do and it was quite convincing on the whole," said Westley, whose team are now just a point from safety.
"I wanted us to play on the front foot and take the game to them and I thought the change worked well. We put them under more pressure and showed more positivity in the way we played.
"Like I keep saying, we knew to be a League One club we need to win a certain number of games. To get into the top half, which is our objective, we've got to win a lot of games.
"We're three wins out of four now which is a good bounce back from the situation we've been in.
"We're not complacent, we know the top sides have nicked results against us and we're hoping that we've made enough improvement in the last two or three games to match another top side on at Preston on Tuesday and this time do better than we've done previously."

The Federal Reserve Board on April 2 requested comment on a proposed amendment to the Board's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) issued February 11, 2011, to establish requirements for determining whether a company is "predominantly engaged in financial activities" solely for purposes of determining whether a company qualifies as a nonbank financial company under Title I of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act). Under Title 1 of the Dodd-Frank Act, a company generally can be designated for Board supervision by the Financial Stability Oversight Council (the Council) only if 85 percent or more of the company's revenues or assets are related to activities that are financial in nature under the Bank Holding Company Act. The Board "believes that clarification is needed regarding the scope of activities that would be considered to be financial activities under that proposal."
For purposes of Title I of the Dodd-Frank Act, a company is considered to be "predominantly engaged" in financial activities if either:
"The Board is proposing to amend the February 2011 NPR to clarify that, consistent with the purpose of Title I any activity referenced in section 4(k) will be considered to be a financial activity without regard to conditions that were imposed on bank holding companies that do not define the activity itself. To provide clarity, the Board further is issuing as an appendix to the NPR a list of the activities that would be considered to be financial activities as of April 2, 2012, including conditions necessary to the definition of the activity as a financial activity, for purposes of determining whether a company is predominantly engaged in financial activities." Among other things, the Federal Reserve believes that "Congress recognized that nonbank financial companies do not conduct their activities in compliance with the requirements applicable to bank holding companies. It would be illogical to conclude that a company would be eligible for Council designation only if it conducted its financial activities in conformance with the requirements imposed on bank holding companies' conduct of financial activities set forth in section 4(k), but would not be required to conform its financial activities to the conditions imposed on bank holding companies by section 4(k) after being designated by the Council for Board supervision."

NCIS Season 9 Spoilers: Gibbs Faces a "Pivotal Moment" in Episode 200, "Life Before His Eyes"
NCIS fans, get ready for a mind-bending experience when the long-running series' 200th episode — "Life Before His Eyes" — airs on February 7.
Showrunner Gary Glasberg spills on the surreal premise to TVLine: "It very much is about a pivotal moment that Gibbs (Mark Harmon) faces," he teases, "and it literally looks back at key moments through nine years of NCIS where decisions had to be made, and had people gone in one direction instead of another, how the world would have ended up."
In one scene, Tony (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva (Cote de Pablo) cross paths for the first time — and in an entirely new way. "For the first time, I didn't know what was going to happen [in a scene]," Michael Weatherly explains. "I literally had to concoct in my mind seven years of 'What if there was no Ziva in Tony's life, how would he have been different?'"
This begs an important question: Will Tiva happen in this alternate reality?
Most of the episode takes place in the diner where Gibbs gets his morning coffee, and in a sneak peek Glasberg screened for the Television Critics Association winter tour yesterday, a hooded stranger holding a gun walks up to Gibbs in the diner... and someone fires a shot.
The episode promises to be a wild, wild ride, but — per Glasberg — it ultimately leads Gibbs to "the realization that the decisions he has made were meant to be."
Even at the ripe old age of 200 episodes, NCIS is pushing boundaries on the small screen. What craziness does Glasberg have up his sleeve for Episode 300?
