The Hunger Games SynopsisEvery year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which Tributes must fight with one another until one survivor remains.
Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If shes ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Why Thelma & Louise Was Really Frustrating For Geena Davis
Thelma and Louise will surely go down in history as one of the great female empowerment films. Stars Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon were given bold, strong, take-action characters to sink their teeth into, and the result is a fantastic and unfortunately rare bit of woman-led entertainment.

Another Hunger Games Movie? Here's What Josh Hutcherson Let Slip
The Hunger Games franchise has been a colossal money-maker for Lionsgate, banking $408 million, $424 million and $337M, respectively. Studios arent prone to let lucrative films just dry up and blow away. At the same time, fans no matter how diehard can see when a studio is milking a property just to keep the brand active.

The One Thing Josh Hutcherson Hated The Most About Doing The Hunger Games
Josh Hutcherson surely has very little to complain about where the Hunger Games movies are concerned. After all, he has a lead role in the series, and the movies have been both huge financial successes, and also critical hits. Being even amazing things have their small problem, and for Hutcherson's experience as Peeta, the worst part of all of it was dying his hair blond.

Gen. Ed. Category: Required Skills and Competencies Dr. Sharon Harrow TR 11:00 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. TR 12:30 p.m. - 1:45 p.m. The goal of this course is teach you what it means to be a Public Intellectual: a scholar whose particular academic training helps him or her to contribute to the larger world. We will examine the discourse, or language, of your chosen field, and you will develop the rhetorical skills you need to write well within your own discipline. However, this course will do more than simply teach you to write well; you will learn how writing acts as a force of change in the world. You will also learn how and why it is important to present your ideas in a public forum and thus will be required to present your research in class. You will also write several mock conference proposals. This will help you to think of your work as part of a conversation beyond the classroom.
Gen. Ed. Category: Required Skills and Competencies Dr. Christine Senecal MWF 9:00 a.m. - 9:50 a.m. MWF 10:00 a.m. - 10:50 a.m. History is the study of the past, but it is certainly not immutable. What college freshmen were required to learn in their courses a few generations ago has changed considerably. Obviously, the past has not changed, but what historians have thought is important for you to study certainly has. To illustrate, in this course we will focus on important trends in the history of the world, beginning with humanity's earliest origins and ending around 1500 of the Common Era (C.E.). In other times and places, the stress of undergraduate history has been on Western Europe. Thus, we can see that even though the past might not change, history--the study of the past--does, depending on who tells the story.
Gen. Ed. Category: B Dr. Blaine Shover T 6:30 p.m. - 9:15 p.m.
This class will introduce you to various landmark operas and Broadway Musicals. Several different types of musical dramas will be studied with emphasis on their structures, storylines, and musical qualities. A few examples of the things we will learn are: the compositional techniques that are used to create the dramatic musical forms; the similarities and the differences between opera and the Broadway musical; the "groundbreaking musicals" of the 20th Century; the voice ranges and different timbres as they apply to various roles in Opera/Musicals; how, when and if the music dictates the staging/blocking; and the roles the various people in the production staff play (e.g. Director, Technical Director, Musical Director).
Gen. Ed. Category: C Dr. Curtis Zaleski MWF 11:00 a.m. - 11:50 a.m.
Chemistry: A Cultural Approach develops an understanding of the relationship between chemistry and our society and illustrates the way a scientist thinks about science. Coverage will include discussion of elements, atoms, molecules, molecular properties, and simple chemical reactions. Discussions will be based on class deliberation of public policies of chemical topics such as BPA in plastic bottles, flame retardants in furniture, and nanoparticles in personal care products.
Gen. Ed. Category: D Dr. Alison Feeney TR: 12:30-1:45 p.m. In this course we will examine patterns and processes that define human settlement in various places around the world. We will examine the historical context to help identify relationships between societies and their environments, and the spatial patterns that have emerged within those societies. Topics that will be examined include: location, population, landforms, ecology, culture, natural resources and settlement patterns. While we will cover the same content as in the regular general education World Regional course, I will try to present the information in a different manner with many group learning opportunities, student presentations, and hands-on computer projects.
Gen. Ed. Category: E Dr. Alice James TR 2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. Why do people do the things they do? The many answers to this question and many more questions are the focus of this course. Students will actively explore some of the major principles, concepts and applications of contemporary psychology. We will cover some of the traditional topics such as learning, development, states of consciousness as well as the controversial issues in the field of Psychology. Bring your critical thinking skills, your motivation and your curiosity; be prepared for an exciting adventure in learning about people.
Dr. Gretchen Pierce Fulfills the Honors Program's capstone requirement. Open to Honors juniors and seniors.
This course will be the springboard to launch year seven of the Reach Out program. We will fundraise for school supplies and student travel money, create and maintain a budget, prep curriculum that will be implemented in the Dominican Republic in January, research important issues that shape that country today, and continue our public relations campaign which advertises our activities and helps to maintain the sustainability of the project. You will also get an introduction to the history and culture of the Dominican Republic as well as its current events, practice your Spanish-language skills, and otherwise prepare yourselves to travel (whether this January or in the future). This service-learning course ought to stimulate your desire to help others, immerse you in an interdisciplinary learning environment, and supplement your academic program by providing you practical, hands-on experience. Along the way, you ought to improve your abilities to work with a team, effectively communicate in both oral and written formats, problem-solve, and meet deadlines.

Gen. Ed. Category: Required Skills and Competencies TR 8:00 a.m. - 9:15 a.m.This course is designed with two primary goals. First, as an introductory course, Introduction to Human Communication introduces you to the field of human communication and provides you with the background to pursue upper-level courses in Communication. Accordingly, this course focuses on communication contexts, vocabulary, and basic theories of the discipline to provide you with a foundation for advanced study. In addition to public speaking, we survey important features in the study of all human communication, including language, conflict, climates, culture, and gender, and we locate specific study within the contexts of interpersonal and group communication. Second, as an introduction to a humanistic field of study, this course seeks to provide application of theory in order to further your skills as communicators, and abilities as critical thinkers. Consequently, this course focuses on experiential learning in order to demonstrate the purpose and practicality of academic inquiry.
Gen. Ed. Category: Required Skills and Competencies Dr. David Godshalk MW 2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. MW 3:30 p.m. - 4:45 p.m.

Gen. Ed. Category: B Dr. Sharon HarrowTR 9:30 a.m. - 10:45 a.m.This course will be a unique academic and field experience, using New York as a laboratory for exploring the origins, dislocations, and new social configurations associated with the rise of modernity. We will also examine some of the most enduring literary and artistic achievements of our time. Students enrolled in this course or Honors World History II will have the option to take part in a five-day, four-night field trip to New York so that they can experience firsthand some of the neighborhoods, buildings, parks, and food that have inspired the writers and historical actors whom we are studying. Throughout the semester, students will work in small groups on more specific projects relating to their majors and/or proclivities: music, art, immigration, architecture, the Harlem Renaissance, beat poetry, theater, bridges - you get the idea. Some possible texts: Washington Square by Henry James, The Age of Innocence OR The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Golden Spur by Dawn Powell.
Gen Ed. Category: C Dr. Thomas FeeneyTR 2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.Fundamental principles of geology will be addressed in a lecture format aided by labs and homework exercises. As a Category C General Education course lecture will often follow the history of scientific inquiry to demonstrate the scientific method, and labs will employ fundamental mathematical concepts to solve basic problems in the earth sciences. Topics will include geologic time, rock and mineral identification, global geologic processes (including tectonics, volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building), surficial processes of water, wind, and ice that shape the earth's surface, and topographic map interpretation.
Gen Ed. Category: D Dr. Sara Grove TR 12:30 p.m. - 1:45 p.m.
This course provides a foundation for understanding the philosophical heritage, constitutional principles, civil rights and liberties, and the formal and informal institutions that form the U.S. government. We focus on the political factors and dynamics of democracy, the Constitution, political parties, interest groups, the media, elections, and the branches of U.S. government. Among our learning objectives are mastering the basic concepts of the American political system, understanding how American political institutions work, and critically analyzing the interplay of/among political institutions and political actors.
Gen Ed. Category: E Dr. Rebecca Ward TR 11:00 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
Women's and Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary academic field that examines the experiences and status of women in the U.S. and considers "women" and "gender" to be socially and culturally constructed categories—that is, ways of organizing how we think about our world and our place(s) in it. This course will familiarize you with the key issues in Women's and Gender Studies scholarship, looking at the history of feminism in the U.S. as well as contemporary concerns facing women's lives. You'll learn about the many critical questions and concepts scholars use when thinking about women's lives, and we'll approach these issues from an interdisciplinary and multicultural perspective. A service learning project is required
Dr. Christine Senecal M 6:30 p.m. - 9:15 p.m.Counts as one of the required Honors seminars. Open to Honors sophomores, juniors, and seniors. This will count as a major elective for History and English majors.
Offers an introduction to the study of various famous and infamous women throughout history. Using history, literature, and artwork, students will view these women in light of the historical biases surrounding their legends, the motivation for authors to have considered these women worth discussing, and how later periods have viewed these women. Students will gain an appreciation for the literary and historical sources that discuss these heroines' lives, the historical context which produced these sources, and an understanding of the difficulties of resuscitating "real" historical characters from "invented" ones. Some possibilities of heroines for consideration include: the Old Testament figure Juliana, Dido/Cleopatra (the fictitious literary character was inspired by the last Egyptian Pharaoh), Mary the mother of Jesus, the Byzantine Empress Theodora, the Anglo-Saxon Saint Eugenia, and the French medieval literary allegory Silence (not historical, yet will reveal much about Central Medieval European historical trends), and Queen Elizabeth I of England.

The Model Organization of American States (MOAS) is a simulation that allows students from several universities from the Western Hemisphere to come together and discuss problems and topics that affect countries in the Americas. In order to prepare for the simulation, students spend the semester researching the country that they will represent, the OAS, and the issues that confront the region.
Prior to the beginning of the simulation, students receive a briefing at the embassy or mission of their country. Often times this briefing is from a high-level representative of their country and affords students the opportunity to engage in a question and answer session with a person who is actually working on the issues that the students are researching. Work sessions occur in a hotel conference center and at OAS headquarters in Washington, D.C. The students work on topics as diverse as economic development and planning, security, international law, human rights, education, social issues, labor practices, and environmental protection.

What you need to know to navigate today's most critical debates.

America's last hope: A strong labor movement (Salon)
Roosevelt Institute Fellow Dorian Warren argues that Americans must challenge autocracy in the workplace as strongly as they oppose autocracy in government -- even in regions where that last part isn't a sure thing.
Pain Without Gain (NYT)
Paul Krugman writes that Europe's shrinking economies prove austerity in the midst of an economic downturn is as bad an idea as anyone who's ever heard of Herbert Hoover could have predicted, but proponents still won't own up to their mistakes.
Manufacturing: Why We Should Help the Sector (But Not Too Much) (On the Economy)
Jared Bernstein makes the case that instead of inventing an industrial policy from scratch or abandoning the manufacturing sector and relying on iPad app debuggers to fuel the economy, we need to get smarter and more focused in our support.
Some Doubt a Settlement Will End Mortgage Ills (NYT)
Critics are skeptical that the settlement's promise of a single point of contact for loan modifications will put a stop to the Kafkaesque nightmare of confusing paperwork, impenetrable bureaucracy, and in rare cases, homeowners turning into giant bugs.
In Alabama, a County That Fell Off the Financial Cliff (NYT)
When Jefferson County officials hit a dead end with run-of-the-mill graft, they turned to Wall Street for a master class and left their constituents with $4 billion in debt, a broken sewer system, and a bankrupt government that can't afford basic services.
Check out "The 99 Percent Plan," a new Roosevelt Institute/Salon essay series on the progressive vision for the economy.
Obama's Budget, Your Server's Budget (The Nation)
Greg Kaufmann looks at the president's latest budget proposal as a mixed bag for antipoverty advocates and notes that while you should always remember to tip your waiters and waitresses, providing them with a living wage would be even better.
The Two Americas (TNR)
Timothy Noah reviews Charles Murray's controversial Coming Apart, in which, by ignoring racial disparities, Murray tries to avoid being labeled a racist, and by denying the importance of economic disparities, he avoids making a coherent argument.
Who Actually Benefits From Federal Benefits? (MoJo)
Kevin Drum highlights a CBPP study that ought to elate critics of the "entitlement state" who argue that government aid should only go to the elderly, disabled, and working poor who really need it. Looks like they've pretty much gotten their wish.
Ideological hypocrites (WaPo)
E.J. Dionne argues that the anti-government rhetoric doesn't match up to the reality in a Republican primary between two career politicians who have proved willing and eager to secure earmarks and bailouts to reward their supporters.
Shifting the Center of the Political Debate (Economist's View)
Mark Thoma writes that it's all well and good that Barack Obama has finally decided to resist Republicans' efforts to drag the debate to the right, but now he needs to start pushing back to the left, not pretend that the far right is the new center.
With additional research by Roosevelt Institute intern Elena Callahan.

Four-Links – AMX Spyder, GAZ-AAAA, donut drive-throughs, Le Mans Classic 2012
* How many AMX/3s were built again? Over at MyCarQuest this week, Jack Koobs de Hartog provided some background on the so-called AMX Spyder, a mid-engine sports car with a muddied provenance.
* We are super stoked that Old Russian Cars has started posting again. Where else would we learn about the experimental six/eight-wheeled GAZ-AAAA?
* Krispy Kreme is the anti-donut and should not be consumed by any living being. Now that I've gotten that off my chest, David Greenlees got a little donut-happy this week over on The Old Motor and gave us a quick rundown on donut drive-throughs.
* Like our friends at Fuel Magazine, we're digging these photos of this year's Le Mans Classic shot by Laurent Nivalle. One of the few cases where Instagram-style toning makes sense.
* Finally, on Along for the Ride, John this week profiled Brant and John Parsons, who are planning on rallying their 1965 Porsche 911 in the Peking to Paris.

- How to Read a Study Record
Diseases of mineral metabolism such as familial multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (FMEN1), familial hypocaliuric hypercalcemia (FHH), familial hyperparathyroidism (FH), and pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) are known as hereditary abnormalities. Meaning these conditions are passed from parents to their children through genes. These specific conditions result in abnormal levels of calcium in the blood.
This study was designed to help researchers understand more about the genes that are responsible for these disorders. By learning more about the genetic process involved in hereditary abnormalities, new tests and treatments can be developed.
Subjects for this study will be members of families that have had relatives diagnosed with a disease of mineral metabolism. Participants will be asked to give blood samples for DNA extraction. DNA is the part of cells that carries genetic information.
The DNA will be analyzed and the results given to the subjects. Genetic counseling will be provided to subjects to aid in interpreting their results.
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Family Studies in Metabolic Diseases and Mineral Metabolism
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|April 1993
Familial multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), familial hypocalciuric (or familial benign) hypercalcemia (FHH), hyperparathyroidism jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT), other causes of familial isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIH), and pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) are disorders of metabolism that are generally inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. MEN1 is characterized by overgrowth and hyperfunction of the parathyroids, anterior pituitary and gastrointestinal endocrine tissue. MEN1, p15, p18, p21, and p27 are identified genes for MEN 1-like states. FHH is characterized by a usually benign syndrome sometimes mistaken for typical primary hyperparathyroidism, which may result in unnecessary and unsuccessful parathyroid surgery. The CASR gene for the calcium-sensing receptor of the parathyroid cell is mutated in of most FHH kindreds;a minority of kindreds with FHH have mutation of the GA11 or AP2S gene. HPT-JT is a distinctive subtype of familial isolated hyperparathyroidism that has combinations of parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid cancer, jaw tumor, uterus tumor, kidney tumor and kidney cysts. It is caused by mutation of the HRPT2 gene. PHP is characterized by parathyroid hormone resistance, and one form is associated with mutations in the gene encoding the stimulatory G protein. We are continuing to collect blood and tissue samples from affected and unaffected members of known and suspected MEN1, FHH, HPT-JT, FIH, PHP, and related kindreds for the purpose of genetic analysis and gene identification. In most cases, the procurement of specimens will be at an off-site location. Samples will be processed for extraction of DNA and RNA.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Patients with known or suspected metabolic disorders of such as MEN 1, MEN 1-like states, FHH, HPT-JT, FIH, FIC, PHP and their first degree relatives (parents, siblings and offspring) and spouses. For the most part only one index case in a family will be tested.
Pre-test counseling by an NIDDK investigator.

Albany Bureau Chief
ALBANY The state's 10 regional economic development councils Wednesday will provide an update on their progress and provide details about their funding targets for next year.
The regional councils, set up in 2011 by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, will each give a presentation to the governor at the Capitol starting at noon.
In its third year, the councils will again be competing in December for a pot of more than $700 million in tax breaks and grants for hometown projects. Last year, $738 million was doled out to 725 projects across the state.
As last year, the total awards will include $150 million in grants and $70 million in tax credits approved specifically for the competitive-grant program; the rest comes through pots of development funds that already existed.
The Finger Lakes, Mid-Hudson and Southern Tier had the best strategic plans at the awards ceremony last year. The Finger Lakes received the most funding of the 10 regions at $96.2 million last year.
The Mid-Hudson, which stretches from Sullivan and Dutchess counties south to Westchester County, received $92.8 million. The Southern Tier - covering the Binghamton, Ithaca and Elmira regions - received a total of $91.1 million, up from a statewide low of $49.4 million in 2011.
WNY Regional Council Co-Chair Howard Zemsky and council member Brenda McDuffie were in Albany representing WNY.
Zemsky told Cuomo and the assessment team, "Welcome to the new Buffalo and WNY." Zemsky says Buffalo's waterfront is "alive and vital now" and pointed to the residential growth in downtown Buffalo.
Ninety-three percent of the WNY Regional Council's projects are underway an on-time according to Zemsky.
The WNY Regional Council says along with the Empire State Development, WNY has brought in 2,000 new jobs and retained 5,000.
McDuffie says WNY will need more skilled workers as older workers get set to retire.
Zemsky says the council continues to work on boosting tourism in Buffalo and Niagara Falls, the medical corridor and advanced manufacturing.

ALEXANDRIA BAY The local school district is saving three teaching positions.
In the process, however, midday preschool transportation and late runs for athletes were taken out of the budget at Alexandria Central School Districts Board of Education meeting Tuesday.
Five positions were originally on the chopping block, according to Superintendent Robert B. Wagoner Jr., when the $11,635,213 spending plan for 2013-14 was approved at the boards April 1 meeting.
This will allow us to save around $60,000 minimum and allow us to save teaching positions, he said.
According to Mr. Wagoner, six of the seven board members were at the meeting. They unanimously approved the decision.
The budget will remain the same amount, but money will be reallocated to personnel. Next years spending plan is a $359,742 increase, nearly 3.2 percent, from this years $11,275,471. The tax levy will increase 4 percent.
No midday transportation means children in the morning class will have to be picked up by parents and children in the afternoon class will have to be dropped off.
Mr. Wagoner confirmed the two positions being cut from the budget are teaching positions. However, he did not reveal what positions they were.
Until the budget passes (in May), Id have to say no, he said.
In other business, high school earth science and agriculture teacher Richard Campany was awarded the Ideas Unlimited Award from the National Association of Agricultural Educators. He submitted a marble maze for the contest.

(4) a transaction by a stockbroker in a security that is executed after a transaction of a kind specified in paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection in such security and before the expiration of 40 days after the first date on which such security was bona fide offered to the public by the issuer or by or through an underwriter, if such stockbroker provides, at the time of or before such transaction by such stockbroker, a disclosure statement approved under section 1125 of this title, and, if the court orders, information supplementing such disclosure statement.

Historical and Revision Notes
legislative statements
Section 1145 of the House amendment deletes a provision contained in section 1145(a)(1) of the House bill in favor of a more adequate provision contained in section 364(f) of the House amendment. In addition, section 1145 (d) has been added to indicate that the Trust Indenture Act [15 U.S.C. 77aaa et seq.] does not apply to a commercial note issued under a plan, if the note matures not later than 1 year after the effective date of the plan. Some commercial notes receive such an exemption under 304(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. § 77ddd (a)(4)) and others may receive protection by incorporation by reference into the Trust Indenture Act of securities exempt under section 3a(3), (7), (9), or (10) of the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. 77c (a)(3), (7), (9), (10)].
In light of the amendments made to the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.] in title III of the House amendment to H.R. 8200, a specific exemption from the Trust Indenture Act [15 U.S.C. 77aaa et seq.] is required in order to create certainty regarding plans of reorganization. Section 1145 (d) is not intended to imply that commercial notes issued under a plan that matures more than 1 year after the effective date of the plan are automatically covered by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 since such notes may fall within another exemption thereto.
One other point with respect to Section 1145 deserves comment. Section 1145 (a)(3) grants a debtor in possession or trustee in chapter 11 an extremely narrow portfolio security exemption from section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. 77e] or any comparable State law. The provision was considered by Congress and adopted after much study. The exemption is reasonable and is more restrictive than comparable provisions under the Securities Act [15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.] relating to the estates of decedents. Subsequent to passage of H.R. 8200 by the House of Representatives, the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated Rule 148 to treat with this problem under existing law. Members of Congress received opinions from attorneys indicating dissatisfaction with the Commission's rule although the rule has been amended, the ultimate limitation of 1 percent promulgated by the Commission is wholly unacceptable.
The Commission rule would permit a trustee or debtor in possession to distribute securities at the rate of 1 percent every 6 months. Section 1145 (a)(3) permits the trustee to distribute 4 percent of the securities during the 2-year period immediately following the date of the filing of the petition. In addition, the security must be of a reporting company under section 13 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 [15 U.S.C. 78m], and must be in compliance with all applicable requirements for the continuing of trading in the security on the date that the trustee offers or sells the security.
With these safeguards the trustee or debtor in possession should be able to distribute 4 percent of the securities of a class at any time during the 2-year period immediately following the date of the filing of the petition in the interests of expediting bankruptcy administration. The same rationale that applies in expeditiously terminating decedents' estates applies no less to an estate under title 11.
senate report no. 95–989
This section, derived from similar provisions found in sections 264, 393, and 518 of the Bankruptcy Act [sections 664, 793, and 918 of former title 11], provides a limited exemption from the securities laws for securities issued under a plan of reorganization and for certain other securities. Subsection (a) exempts from the requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. 77e] and from any State or local law requiring registration or licensing of an issuer of, underwriter of, or broker or dealer in, a security, the offer or sale of certain securities.
Paragraph (1) of subsection (a) exempts the offer or sale under section 364 of any security that is not an equity security or convertible into an equity security. This paragraph is designed to facilitate the issuance of certificates of indebtedness, and should be read in light of the amendment made in section 306 of title III to section 3(a)(7) of the 1933 act [15 U.S.C. 77c (a)(7)].
Paragraph (2) of subsection (a) exempts the offer or sale of any security of the debtor, a successor to the debtor, or an affiliate in a joint plan, distributed under a plan if such security is exchanged in principal part for securities of the debtor or for allowed claims or administrative expenses. This exemption is carried over from present law, except as to administrative claims, but is limited to prevent distribution of securities to other than claim holders or equity security holders of the debtor or the estate.
Paragraph (3) of subsection (a) exempts the offer or sale of any security that arises from the exercise of a subscription right or from the exercise of a conversion privilege when such subscription right or conversion privilege was issued under a plan. This exemption is necessary in order to enhance the marketability of subscription rights or conversion privileges, including warrants, offered or sold under a plan. This is present law.
Paragraph (4) of subsection (a) exempts sales of portfolio securities, excluding securities of the debtor or its affiliate, owned by the debtor on the date of the filing of the petition. The purpose of this exemption is to allow the debtor or trustee to sell or distribute, without allowing manipulation schemes, restricted portfolio securities held or acquired by the debtor. Subparagraph (B) of section 1145 (a)(4) limits the exemption to securities of a company that is required to file reports under section 13 of the Securities Act [15 U.S.C. 78m] and that is in compliance with all requirements for the continuance of trading those securities. This limitation effectively prevents selling into the market "cats and dogs" of a nonreporting company. Subparagraph (C) places a limitation on the amount of restricted securities that may be distributed. During the case, the trustee may sell up to 4 percent of each class of restricted securities at any time during the first 2 years and 1 percent during any 180-day period thereafter. This relaxation of the resale rules for debtors in holding restricted securities is similar to but less extensive than the relaxation in SEC Rule 114(c)(3)(v) for the estates of deceased holders of securities.
Paragraph (5) contains an exemption for brokers and dealers (stockbrokers, as defined in title 11) akin to the exemption provided by section 4(3)(A) of the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. 77d (3)(A)]. Instead of being required to supply a prospectus, however, the stockbroker is required to supply the approved disclosure statement, and if the court orders, information supplementing the disclosure statement. Under present law, the stockholder is not required to supply anything.
Subsection (b) is new. The subsection should be read in light of the amendment in section 306 of title III to the 1933 act [15 U.S.C. 77c (a)(7), (9), (10)]. It specifies the standards under which a creditor, equity security holder, or other entity acquiring securities under the plan may resell them. The Securities Act places limitations on sales by underwriters. This subsection defines who is an underwriter, and thus restricted, and who is free to resell. Paragraph (1) enumerates real underwriters that participate in a classical underwriting. A person is an underwriter if he purchases a claim against, interest in, or claim for an administrative expense in the case concerning, the debtor, with a view to distribution or interest. This provision covers the purchase of a certificate of indebtedness issued under proposed 11 U.S.C. 364 and purchased from the debtor, if the purchase of the certificate was with a view to distribution.
A person is also an underwriter if he offers to sell securities offered or sold under the plan for the holders of such securities, or offers to buy securities offered or sold under the plan from the holders of such securities, if the offer to buy is with a view to distribution of the securities and under an agreement made in connection with the plan, with the consummation of the plan or with the offer or sale of securities under the plan. Finally, a person is an underwriter if he is an issuer, as used in section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. 77b (11)].
Paragraph (2) of subsection (b) exempts from the definition of underwriter any entity to the extent that any agreement that would bring the entity under the definition in paragraph (1) provides only for the matching combination of fractional interests in the covered securities or the purchase or sale of fractional interests. This paragraph and paragraph (1) are modeled after former rule 133 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Paragraph (3) specifies that if an entity is not an underwriter under the provisions of paragraph (1), as limited by paragraph (2), then the entity is not an underwriter for the purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.] with respect to the covered securities, that is, those offered or sold in an exempt transaction specified in subsection (a)(2). This makes clear that the current definition of underwriter in section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. 77b (11)] does not apply to such a creditor. The definition in that section technically applies to any person that purchases securities with "a view to distribution." If literally applied, it would prevent any creditor in a bankruptcy case from selling securities received without filing a registration statement or finding another exemption.
Subsection (b) is a first run transaction exemption and does not exempt a creditor that, for example, some years later becomes an underwriter by reacquiring securities originally issued under a plan.
Subsection (c) makes an offer or sale of securities under the plan in an exempt transaction (as specified in subsection (a)(2)) a public offering, in order to prevent characterization of the distribution as a "private placement" which would result in restrictions, under rule 144 of the SEC, on the resale of the securities.

Lees-McRae has announced that they will begin the process of construction of a building to house their new program, their release says that, "Based on student interest, marketplace demand and the generous donation from Daniel and Dianne May,
Lees-McRae College is pleased to offer undergraduate degree programs in Nursing and Allied Health, pending accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)." President Barry M. Buxton announced the plans last Wednesday evening to friends and alumni during a reception at the home of Daniel and Dianne May. He said, "We believe the May School of Nursing and Allied Health can be an important tipping point in the continuing revitalization of Lees-McRae College. There is great student interest in nursing and no shortage of demand for additional health care professionals," said Buxton. "This new program will benefit the College and the community by elevating health care in Southern Appalachia. We are grateful to Daniel and Dianne May for their love of Lees-McRae College and their transformational support." Their release said that groundbreaking construction for the May School of Nursing and Allied Health will begin as early as spring 2013 on the campus of Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk. A new 18,000 sq. ft. facility will be constructed directly across from the main entrance to campus and the Chaffee Administration Building on NC Hwy. 194.

home energy assessment
. Compare your energy use to similar homes in your area and see where your home uses the most energy.
Roll it Out:
Make sure your home has adequate insulation. This includes the attic, exterior walls, floors, basement and crawl spaces. In unheated areas, be sure to insulate around furnace ducts or boiler pipes.
Buy it Right:
Install ENERGY STAR® lighting and appliances in your home. ENERGY STAR light bulbs use 75 percent less energy and last up to 25 times longer than standard incandescent bulbs.
Seal it Up:
Use weather stripping and caulk to seal air leaks and block drafts, even in the basement and attic, around doors, windows, chimneys, electrical outlets and other potential areas for air leakage.
Set it Smart:
Keep your thermostat at 68 degrees or lower in the winter and 78 degrees or higher in the summer to save some green. You also can save with a programmable thermostat that automatically adjusts the temperature when you're asleep or away.
Wrap it Up:
Put clear plastic sheets over the inside or outside of your windows to reduce heat loss and increase comfort. Window wrap kits, available at your hardware or home store, are an ideal choice for the job.
Let it Shine:
Keep draperies, shades and blinds open on sunny winter days, especially with windows on the south side of your home, and closed on hot and sunny summer days. Closed drapes also double as insulators.
Turn it Off:
When plugged in, many appliances and chargers use electricity whether they're on or not. This wasted power is called phantom load. Save some green by turning off and unplugging what you can, possibly reducing your home's phantom load by as much as one third.
Keep it Clear:
Make sure your air registers and radiators aren't being blocked by furniture, rugs, drapes or other objects in your home. In addition, be sure to dust or vacuum registers or radiators on a regular basis.
Keep it Up:
Have your heating system serviced once a year so it runs properly and efficiently. Change your furnace filters regularly since dirty filters make the system work harder and use more energy than necessary.
New and Replacement Fireplaces
When building a traditional fireplace, install ducts around it so cool room air is drawn in and circulated around the firebox. Warmed air is ducted back into the room by convection.

Cruel Lullabies:
The Bard Handbook
So, you want to be a Bard, huh? Think it's all about charming the ladies, prancing around, or earning lots and lots of coin? Think again. You're here to lead people into battle, and I don't mean going all Pied Piper and marching kids into a war zone (although some of you might think that's fun). In fact, you might want to make sure you're as good with that blade as you are with your lute. Celts and Vikings are more our model here.
So why play a Bard?
Clerics close wounds fast and Warlords make things die fast, so what is special about you besides the fact you can sing? Well, quite a bit:
* You are the master of positioning. You have a knack for making sure your allies are in the right place at the right time. After all, it doesn't matter how good your party's nova potential is if they're not in a position to unleash it, and you can get a party into position more consistently and expediently than any other Leader can. And not only do you get your allies into the right place, but you also tend to force enemies there.
* You tend to cripple the enemy as much as you help your allies. With your natural secondary role as Controller, this isn't really a surprise. You like to jinx the enemies' attacks, strip their defenses, inflict status effects, and generally do a lot of nasty things to their survival chances. You're still a team player, but you can't help but get some satisfaction yourself as your powers have more of a direct effect than those of other Leaders. There's something about dominating a foe and making him do your bidding that just sounds really cool.
* You are extremely versatile. Want to lead from the front with a shiny blade in hand? You got it. From the back? You got it. With a conductor's baton? You got it. With a bow? You got it. Strumming a lute? You got it. And it doesn't stop there. You are free to dabble in as many other classes' abilities as you'd like to tailor your arsenal as you see fit. Want more healing? You got it. Want things to die faster? You got it. Need more control? You got it.
* You are a master of skills. In fact, only three of the skills in the entire game aren't on your class skill list. Moreover, you start with the second-most number of trained skills after the Rogue. Because you're charismatic, you excel in conversational skill challenges involving skills like Diplomacy and Bluff. And to top it all off, you have the ability to make the skills you didn't train almost as good as the ones you did train.
Ratings system:
Red: AHHHH! My ears! A trap, or just plain garbage.
Purple: A rather sour note. Situational at best.
Black: Tolerable, an acquired taste even.
Blue: A fine selection, indeed.
Sky Blue: Bravissimo! Meaning, you definitely want this.
Gold: Mandatory. Not just the best. Mandatory. A very rare rating.

AP - Action Point
Bard Taxi - A build concept written up by Thaldryn here, which involves the Bard's teleport feats Bardic Wayfarer and Walk Among the Fey and a multiclass to Warlock to take the paragon path Evermeet Warlock. The result is a hyper-teleport-focused build of Bard that exerts impressive control over ally and enemy positioning on any battlefield.
BBEG - Big Bad Evil Guy (typically a Solo or an Elite)
Charmer - A character who takes a preponderance of powers with the Charm keyword and optimizes their use. Bards are well predisposed toward being this type of character.
DPR - Damage per round
ED - Epic destiny
Fake Skald (or F-Skald) - An original Bard (typically melee-inclined) that takes the feat Skald Training and picks up a CHA- or INT-based MBA to emulate the defining characteristics of the Skald subclass while keeping the original Bard's features. Can be a powerful build, but it is also rather feat-intensive.
Feywalker - A Paragon Tier Bard who took the feat Walk Among the Fey to change all his sliding powers into 2D teleportation powers. Bard Taxis are an extreme example of this type.
MAD - Multiple-attribute dependency. Otherwise known as stretching your ability scores too thin. Typically a designator for a build needing three or more ability scores to function.
MBA - Melee basic attack
MID - Multiple-item dependency. Having to use both a weapon and an implement is a cause of this, eating up more of your allocation of finances, feats and other resources.
NAD - Non-AC Defense (Fortitude, Reflex or Will).
OA - Opportunity attack
O-Bard - The original Bard class from the PHB2, used when it is necessary to distinguish it from its subclass, the Skald.
PP - Paragon path
RBA - Ranged basic attack
THP - Temporary hit points.
Wayfarer - A Bard who took the feat Bardic Wayfarer, generally with the intent to optimize around teleporting. Bard Taxis are an extreme example of this type.
Oh! Blame not the bard by JWT (The original Bard handbook)
The Bard Taxi - The Little Red Corvette by Thaldryn
Thanks to:
Everyone who posts and helps out.
Authors of other classes' handbooks, some of which REALLY helped for the multiclassing section.
NOTE: This handbook will cover both the original Bard from PHB2 and the Skald from HotF. Since both variants use the same AEDU power structure and have access to all the same powers one way or another and only differ in the class features, the Skald could conveniently be folded into this handbook.

Comments about Marmot Urban Hauler - Large:
I like this bag, but it isn't exactly the most durable bag. The straps are thin and the material doesn't exactly feel like it's going to last.
It is good for shopping and it makes a good climbing haul bag for smaller climbs.
