... was refreshing and very clear. Lemon everywhere in this region so I had a lemon custard stuffed baba, I hope to prefect the art of baba making upon my home coming, everyone hold me to this. After we were all sunned out we took to the bus for the twisty turny ride to Positano. I expected it to be far worse due to everyone going on about it. I sat myself in the window seat opposite the cliff side to prevent further anxiety. There were some moments my heart rate ...

... enjoyable stop and a delight to the eyes. This is a six-generation family business and it was lovely to see traditional design still made along with more contemporary designs which really appealed to Phillip and me.
I should tell you that although geographically close, Sorrento and Naples are very different.

Lawrence Ghost Tour has been a top seller for many years now! History of Quantrails Raid adds to the historical element of this tour along with the full apparitions captured on camera in Pioneer Cemetery during get-out stops by guests. Eldridge Hotel haunted stories continue to pile-up. Be sure to check out the picture of the ghost in the elevator at the registration desk and of course I am sure you have all seen My Ghost Story presenting The Eldridge Hotel. Getting out at Haskell Cemetery has an even eerier feel after hearing the stories. Teller's continues to be haunted by that of a ghostly man who was captured on laser grid during an investigation by Kansas Paranormal Research Society. Sigma Nu is an extra special highlight, and usually one we can go into if no special events are taking place. Listed on Ghost tours of Kansas most haunted top 5 3 years in a row. We do not guarantee ghosts but cool stuff has happened during the Lawrence Tour. Many other locations not mentioned. All tours depart the lobby of the Eldridge by the fireplace inside. Tour lasts approximately 2 hours and you will get out in 2-3 spots for a few minutes to take pic's. We do not mail tickets. Please purchase your tickets online and print out your email confirmation.

CANDELS: The progenitors of compact quiescent galaxies at z~2
ABSTRACT We combine high-resolution HST/WFC3 images with multi-wavelength photometry
to track the evolution of structure and activity of massive (log(M*) > 10)
galaxies at redshifts z = 1.4 - 3 in two fields of the Cosmic Assembly
Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS). We detect compact,
star-forming galaxies (cSFGs) whose number densities, masses, sizes, and star
formation rates qualify them as likely progenitors of compact, quiescent,
massive galaxies (cQGs) at z = 1.5 - 3. At z > 2 most cSFGs have specific
star-formation rates (sSFR = 10^-9 yr^-1) half that of typical, massive SFGs at
the same epoch, and host X-ray luminous AGN 30 times (~30%) more frequently.
These properties suggest that cSFGs are formed by gas-rich processes (mergers
or disk-instabilities) that induce a compact starburst and feed an AGN, which,
in turn, quench the star formation on dynamical timescales (few 10^8 yr). The
cSFGs are continuously being formed at z = 2 - 3 and fade to cQGs by z = 1.5.
After this epoch, cSFGs are rare, thereby truncating the formation of new cQGs.
Meanwhile, down to z = 1, existing cQGs continue to enlarge to match local QGs
in size, while less-gas-rich mergers and other secular mechanisms shepherd
(larger) SFGs as later arrivals to the red sequence. In summary, we propose two
evolutionary scenarios of QG formation: an early (z > 2), fast-formation path
of rapidly-quenched cSFGs that evolve into cQGs that later enlarge within the
quiescent phase, and a slow, late-arrival (z < 2) path for SFGs to form QGs
without passing through a compact state.

Article: The ATLAS3D project-XX. Mass-size and mass-σ distributions of early-type galaxies: Bulge fraction drives kinematics, mass-to-light ratio, molecular gas fraction and stellar initial mass function[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We study the (M,sigma) and (M,Re) projections of the thin Mass Plane (MP) (M,sigma,Re) which describes the distribution of the galaxy population. The distribution of galaxy properties on the MP is characterized by: (i) a zone of exclusion described by two power-laws joined by a break at M 3e10 Msun. This results in a break in the mean M-sigma relation with Msigma^2.3 and M sigma^4.7 at small and large sigma respectively; (ii) a mass M 2e11 Msun which separates a population dominated by flat fast rotator with disks and spiral galaxies at lower masses, from one dominated by quite round slow rotators at larger masses; (iii) below that mass the distribution of ETGs properties tends to be constant along lines of constant sigma; (iv) it forms a parallel sequence with the distribution of spiral galaxies; (v) at even lower masses, the distribution of fast rotator ETGs and late spirals naturally extends to that of dwarf ETGs (Sph) and dwarf irregulars (Im) respectively. We show via dynamical models that sigma traces the bulge fraction, which drives the observed trends in M/L, Hbeta, colour, IMF and molecular gas fraction. We interpret this as due to a combination of two main effects: (i) an increase of the bulge fraction which increases sigma and greatly enhances the likelihood for a galaxy to have its star formation quenched, and (ii) dry merging, increasing galaxy mass along lines of nearly constant sigma, while leaving the population unchanged.

Article: Newly-quenched galaxies as the cause for the apparent evolution in average size of the population[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abridged. We use COSMOS to study in a self-consistent way the change in the number densities of quenched early-type galaxies (Q-ETGs) of a given size over the interval 0.2 < z < 1.0 to study the claimed size evolution of these galaxies. At 10^10.5<Mgalaxy<10^11 Msun, we see no change in the number density of compact Q-ETGs, while at >10^11 Msun we find a decrease by 30%. In both mass bins, the increase of the median sizes of Q-ETGs with time is primarily caused by the addition to the size function of larger and more diffuse Q-ETGs. At all masses, compact Q-ETGs become systematically redder towards later epochs, with a (U-V) difference consistent with passive evolution of their stellar populations, indicating that they are a population that does not appreciably evolve in size. At all epochs, the larger Q-ETGs (at least in the lower mass bin) have average rest-frame colors systematically bluer than those of the more compact Q-ETGs, suggesting that the former are younger than the latter. The idea that new, large, Q-ETGs are responsible for the observed growth in the median size of the population at a given mass is supported by the sizes and number of the star-forming galaxies that are expected to be progenitors of the new Q-ETGs over the same period. In the low mass bin, the new Q-ETG have 30% smaller sizes than their star-forming progenitors. This is likely due to the fading of their disks after they cease star-formation. Comparison with higher z shows that the median size of newly-quenched galaxies roughly scales, at constant mass, as (1+z)^-1. The dominant cause of the size evolution seen in the Q-ETG population is thus that the average sizes of individual Q-ETGs scale with the average density of the Universe at the time when they were quenched, with subsequent size changes in individual objects through eg merging of secondary importance, especially at masses <10^11 Msun.The Astrophysical Journal 02/2013; 773(2).

Article: The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS). A precise measurement of the galaxy stellar mass function and the abundance of massive galaxies at redshifts 0.5<z<1.3[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We measure the evolution of the galaxy stellar mass function from z=1.3 to z=0.5 using the first 53,608 redshifts of the ongoing VIMOS Public Extragalactic Survey (VIPERS). We estimate the galaxy stellar mass function at several epochs discussing in detail the amount of cosmic variance affecting our estimate. We find that Poisson noise and cosmic variance of the galaxy mass function in the VIPERS survey are comparable with the statistical uncertainties of large surveys in the local universe. VIPERS data allow us to determine with unprecedented accuracy the high-mass tail of the galaxy stellar mass function, which includes a significant number of galaxies that are usually too rare to detect with any of the past spectroscopic surveys. At the epochs sampled by VIPERS, massive galaxies had already assembled most of their stellar mass. We apply a photometric classification in the (U-V) rest-frame colour to compute the mass function of blue and red galaxies, finding evidence for the evolution of their contribution to the total number density budget: the transition mass above which red galaxies dominate is found to be about 10^10.4 M_sun at z=0.55 and evolves proportionally to (1+z)^3. We are able to trace separately the evolution of the number density of blue and red galaxies with masses above 10^11.4 M_sun, in a mass range barely studied in previous work. We find that for such large masses, red galaxies show a milder evolution with redshift, when compared to objects at lower masses. At the same time, we detect a population of similarly massive blue galaxies, which are no longer detectable below z=0.7. These results show the improved statistical power of VIPERS data, and give initial promising indications of mass-dependent quenching of galaxies at z~1.

th metacarpal. I felt sorry for myself for all of 0.05 seconds, until the two other patients I shared a room with, I'll nickname them "Mr. Heart attack" and "Sir Blocked Upper Intestine Requiring Life Saving Emergency Surgery" made me realize how lucky I am. For I'd rather break a hand while exercising and taking care of my body versus the certain outcome those who take their bodies for granted will eventually face. Consider this your Heather PSA for the day. Wanna know why you should eat well and exercise NOW? Head to your local ER and check out all of the unfortunate middle-agers who walk through the door with gnarly ailments. Now, I understand that some things can be genetic, however the barrage of conditions my "roomies" were rattling off to the nurses (congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus, irritable bowels, arthritis, high blood pressure) …not to mention the numerous medications…can be avoided by the majority of us if we just take care of ourselves NOW.Now, all of that said, I have this ridiculous gigantic splint on my right hand and half of my forearm that makes everything quite hilarious. God bless Geoffrey Hart and his patience for having to do things like tie my shoes, cut my fruit, and put my hair into a ponytail. I feel like a preschooler. The seemingly awesome request of "can you strip me down and tie me up?" only refers to helping me unzip my sweatshirt and securing a plastic bag over my splint so I can attempt to shower. Add in the fact that I just got toothpaste all over my face trying to brush with my left hand, I can't stop laughing at the ridiculousness over the fact that I did this during a BOX JUMP. Truth be told, I am pretty surprised it took me 30 years to break a bone. I started dancing (ballet and tap) at age 5, and since then I've always been doing something active. Softball, basketball, soccer, track & field all through school. There were the winters my friend and I would spend acting like Remember that beautiful RockTape job in the last post? Well after 36 hours of no relief, I caved and headed to the hospital where an xray confirmed that I had indeed snapped my right 4
I I've been hesitant to post about this, because believe it or not there are a few things I really don't want to share with the entire world. But my last post about being true to my writing, and all of your responses, gave me the confidence to share. I've been missing my kids a lot lately. And by "a lot", I mean gut wrenching, broken heart "a lot". It has been almost 3 months since I've seen them, as they are living with their dad in SC, and lately it has really started taking its toll on me.
So many people, including their father, my BFF, and probably 100 others who have no idea what they are talking about, seem to think that my complete lack of outward emotion or even mentioning of it seem to signal I've grown distant or complacent about the situation. That I've become accustomed to life without kid-responsibilities. Honestly, I can't blame them, as I would probably think the same if I was on the outside looking in. The truth is, I would give anything to have my 4 year old wake me up at 3 am, and then 3:15 am, and then 3:30 am for the most ridiculous reasons. I miss the sibling throw downs I have to referee, I miss the whining, I miss the messes, and more than anything I miss the hugs and kisses. But life isn't always perfect. There are only 2 people in this world who know the whole truth of this situation, and only one of them knows how it really knocked me off my feet. A lot of healing had to happen, a lot of pieces are still being picked up off the floor and put back where they are supposed to be. And now it is solely a financial issue, but soon enough my boys and I will be together again. So in the interim, I don't talk about it. I don't whine about it, I don't post about it, and I only try to cry about it when I'm alone. It was my decision to let them live with their father for a while, so I must live with my decision, and thus, I don't talk about it. Call me heartless. I call it survival. So instead, I sweat it out. Running, the gym, pushing my physical limits has been my mental release, my therapist, and anti-depression medications all in one for years, this last one in particular. So many people don't understand that, but I suspect many of you reading this do. My coping skills work best with a heavy dose of endorphins. A good run or some PR's in the weight room will almost always ease the "I'm a failure at life" feelings that creep in from time to time. To put a great big physical limitation on my "therapy", at a time when I really need it, temporarily freaked me out. As we left the gym, we discovered my car had a flat tire. "Great, just what I effing need", I thought to myself. What ELSE could go wrong, WHY ME? Without hesitation, my most amazing boyfriend, who hates the cold quite possibly as much as I do, hopped out of the car and got to work changing the tire in the 20 degree night darkness, without a single groan or complaint. And I know it sounds silly and cliché, but it made me realize how truly lucky I am to have him. I mean, I always know how lucky I am when it comes to him, but at that moment, it was more than that. I realized how truly lucky I am in so many aspects of my life. Sure I'm not with my kids right now, but they are in a beautiful home with people who love them. No I don't have my dream job, but I have a full time job. And a car to get flat tires in, and a roof over my head, and friends and family who love me. Yes its cold in this currently miserable state, but it is beautiful New England that has brought me so much peace over the last year, and where I met the person who has reminded me what it feels like to be loved, and who helped bring my happy back. Just like the bones in my hand will fall back into place and heal with time, so will my life and my heart. It has already started. And all will be stronger because they've been broken. Stupid metacarpal and wooden plyo box…thanks for the life lesson.

Harris' late free throws give La Salle 75-72 win over Duquesne
PITTSBURGH (AP)—Darnell Harris scored 18 points, including two late free throws, as La Salle held on for a 75-72 win over Duquesne on Sunday.
Ruben Guillandeaux added 17 and Yves Mekongo Mbala grabbed 10 rebounds for the Explorers, who avenged a 101-84 loss to the Dukes on Feb. 9. Since then, La Salle (13-13, 7-5) has won four straight.
The Explorers closed the first half on a 10-3 run to take a 41-34 lead at the break. They extended the lead to 47-34 with 17:52 remaining in the second half.
But Duquesne used a 10-0 run to tie the score at 52-52 on two free throws by Kojo Mensah with 12:11 to go. La Salle then regained control as Harris scored eight consecutive points and the Explorers built a 62-55 advantage.
Duquesne came back again and made it 73-72 on three free throws by Gary Tucker, who was fouled on a 3-point attempt with 27 seconds to go.
But Harris hit the two free throws with 16 seconds left and Bill Clark's potential game-tying 3-pointer hit off the rim at the buzzer.
Tucker scored a career-high 23 points and Aaron Jackson had 11 to lead Duquesne (16-10, 6-7), which has lost three in a row.

Off the Dribble: Highlights from Mike Krzyzewski's press conference at Duke basketball media dayBy Ryan Hoerger | 5 hours ago
Duke held its media day Tuesday afternoon at Cameron Indoor Stadium as the Blue Devils prepare to defend their 2015 national title with a a mixture of returning veterans and the nation's top-ranked recruiting class. Here are some of the highlights from head coach Mike Krzyzewski's press conference, including an injury update and progress adapting to the NCAA's new rules for 2015-16.
"[Sean] Obi had been out for awhile [but] he's now practicing. The only kid that's been out the whole time for us is [freshman center Antonio] Vrankovic, he had a stress reaction earlier in the month in September. He's close to being able to practice—the other guys are in pretty good shape. Grayson [Allen] had not played for about three weeks because he had an annoying hamstring there in September, so we shut him down. He's only been practicing since the start of practice, but today he had a really, really good day."
Krzyzewski now has a full roster at his disposal after winning a national title with just eight active scholarship players in April. Allen's balky hamstring would appear to be the most serious concern, but based on his physicality and explosiveness at Friday's open practice and Krzyzewski's assessment of Tuesday's practice, the Jacksonville, Fla., native should be good to go moving forward. Vrankovic was in a walking boot at Friday's open practice but was dressed to participate. A stress reaction denotes the earliest stages of what could lead to a stress fracture.
"Ingram will be all over. He's that good of a player. Brandon's gained 23 pounds since July 1. A lot of it is muscle mass and so he's in the 190s now, he came in about 172 [pounds]. He's worked very, very hard."
The 6-foot-9 swingman can shoot the ball from anywhere on the floor, and spent much of Friday's open practice rotating in with the rest of the Blue Devil guards. With his height and jumping ability, Duke may also look to utilize Ingram down low, where he faces a disadvantage because of his slight frame. Justise Winslow provided effective inside-out scoring for Krzyzewski as a freshman last year at 6-foot-6, but had already packed on plenty of muscle prior to arriving in Durham. Ingram's ability to deliver down low could be critical for a Duke team now without the services of dominant post threat Jahlil Okafor.
"We did an officials clinic today because there are a lot of new rules changes. They're going to have a big impact on the game."
The college game underwent a significant overhaul during the summer as the NCAA sought to increase scoring. Among the big changes are a reduction in the shot clock to 30 seconds from 35 and the elimination of the five-second closely guarded rule as long as a player maintains his dribble. Krzyzewski—who said he supports a further reduction of the shot clock to the NBA-regulation 24 seconds—particularly stressed the importance of a shift in officiating pertaining to defensive positioning. Post defenders will now be allowed to keep an arm-bar on their assignment in the post when the offensive player has the ball. Prior to this switch, defenders could keep an arm-bar on their man when the ball was elsewhere but had to remove it when the ball arrived, allowing the offensive player a better opportunity to back down in the post. That's a big thing," Krzyzewski said. Read more »

Assemblyman has head shaved at fundraiser
Assemblyman Das Williams, D-Santa Barbara, had his head shaved Monday in Sacramento at a St. Baldrick's Foundation event to raise money for childhood cancer research.
Joining him was staff member Tatum Holland, an eight-year survivor of childhood cancer.
Williams, whose district includes Ventura and much of Oxnard, said he participated to show solidarity with cancer patients and survivors.
"By shaving your head, you give them kinship," he said. "By donating, you give them hope."

Last month a prehistoric tooth protruding from a boulder tipped off researchers to hidden evolutionary treasure: remarkably complete human-ancestor fossils trapped in a rock that had been sitting in their lab for years.
Scans later showed that the rock contains two-million-year-old fossils that will "almost certainly" make one Australopithecus sediba specimen "the most complete early human ancestor skeleton ever discovered," anthropologist Lee Berger said in a statement Thursday. --- The tooth turned out to be just the tip of the fossil iceberg.
A CT scan revealed other bones inside, including parts of a jaw, a complete thigh bone, ribs, vertebrae, and possibly hand and foot bones.

Leica X1 digital camera
Leica announced their forthcoming X1 digital camera yesterday and we were on hand to grab a few shots of a (sadly) non-working sample.
When it hits the shelves in January 2010, it will bring with it a 12.2-megapixel CMOS APS-C sensor (which you'd normally find in a DSLR) and a fixed 24mm lens.
Following the design lines of the M series, the all metal body is lovingly trimmed with leather, giving it an unmistakable Leica look.
It isn't until you glance around the back at the 2.7-inch display that you realise you aren't holding a museum piece – such are the retro looks.
A pop-up flash is neatly and discreetly positioned in the left of the camera, but a hot shoe will take Leica's SF 24D or SF 58 flashes if more power is required.
With a price yet to be revealed, you can be assured that the X1 is likely to become the reportage camera of choice for discerning photographers.

Premier League - Villa thump West Ham
Eurosport - Mon, 16 Aug 00:08:00 2010
Aston Villa crushed West Ham 3-0 in their Premier League opener at Villa Park, with James Milner scoring in probably his last game for the club.
The midfielder, who is expected to join Manchester City within days, wrapped up an emphatic victory after first-half goals from Stewart Downing and Stiliyan Petrov.
Villa showed no ill-effects from a traumatic week that saw manager Martin O'Neill resign following a dispute with owner Randy Lerner - an interested spectator at Villa Park - over transfer policy.
Caretaker boss Kevin McDonald stepped into the breach and had no qualms about picking Milner.
The England midfielder was given a classy standing ovation when he went off late on, but he was outshone by a potential gem of a player - Marc Albrighton, who fairly terrorised West Ham down both flanks.
Aston Villa 3 West Ham 0
Albrighton set up Milner's goal and enjoyed a terrific afternoon against the shell-shocked Herita Ilunga, Winston Reid and Julien Faubert. He has a big future ahead of him.
Also to the fore was another in-demand player, Ashley Young. The 25-year-old is a target for Tottenham Hotspur and it is not hard to see why. He boasts pace, skill and an eye for a pass, and was to the fore as Villa completely dominated proceedings.
His clever reverse pass down the line led to the game's first chance as he found Downing, whose cross John Carew headed just wide.
Carew was in the thick of it minutes later when played clean through. The Norwegian rounded Robert Green but the ball fell into the path of defender James Tomkins who managed to shin it against the post from the edge of the box before it bounced to safety.
Green suffered a torrid summer, making a terrible error against the USA at the World Cup, and he brought his uncertain form back to the Premier League with him.
He wafted hopelessly at two early crosses and was badly at fault for the goal on 15 minutes. The goalkeeper palmed a Young cross unconvincingly to Albrighton, whose follow-up shot was parried into the path of Downing who could hardly miss from a couple of yards, although West Ham had a strong offside claim.
Green partially redeemed himself when Carew flicked a long Brad Friedel clearance into the path of Young - the winger saw his dipping volley tipped over.
But it was not long until Villa got the second goal their total dominance merited - Young crossed from the right and Petrov powered a header past Green.
Never the chirpiest character, Avram Grant looked a picture of misery just 40 minutes into his debut on the West Ham bench.
Villa cruised through the second half despite the visitors' introduction of Frederic Piquionne and Pablo Barrera.
Downing hit the crossbar twice, while at the other end Faubert missed a sitter in a rare foray forward.
Milner completed the scoring on 66 minutes after Albrighton's umpteenth mazy dribble of the afternoon. The 20-year-old pulled the ball back to the edge of the box and Milner lashed in a left-foot shot from the edge of the box.
It was fitting that after Milner and Young went off to great acclaim late on, Albrighton was afforded a stirring ovation when also withdrawn.
Villa's future remains uncertain, but based on this performance there are grounds for genuine optimism.
Now if only they could keep their manager and best players at the club, they could really be something.Alex Chick / Eurosport

If the club face is impacting the ball and is not square or pointed towards the target, it can only be done so with a corresponding none square swing path. This would produce an amount of curve spin on the golf ball, which can be difficult to control on a consistent basis.
The ideal golf swing is a downward descent, slightly de-lofting the club face to help increase backspin that uncocks the wrists at impact to take advantage of releasing all of the club head speed into the ball.

And that puts the House leadership in a tight spot: The last thing leaders want is a spotlight on Democratic wrongdoing right before the November election.

July 15, 2010 President Obama and the Democrats scored another major legislative victory Thursday. The Senate passed a broad bill to overhaul financial regulations. The measure rewrites the rules for Wall Street to try to avoid crises like the 2008 economic meltdown. This time the Democrats got a little help from Republicans.

June 30, 2010 Democrats have been struggling to round up the 60 votes they'll need to push the financial regulations bill over the finish line. They agreed to some changes in the bill Tuesday in order to win some Republicans' votes.

June 27, 2010 When college senior Peter Wann reeled in an 883-pound marlin off the coast of North Carolina earlier this month, he thought for sure he and his shipmates had won nearly a million dollars in prize money in the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament. Unfortunately, his prize slipped the hook.

June 18, 2010 Capitol Hill lawmakers grilled BP's top executive Tony Hayward in nearly 7 hours of hearings investigating the Gulf Oil spill Thursday. Hayward said he was sorry for the incident but refused to comment on technical decisions the company made leading up to the oil rig explosion in April. But he wasn't the only one issuing apologies.

June 3, 2010 The financial regulatory bill headed for a House-Senate conference would set up federal oversight of the controversial derivatives market. It requires most derivatives be vetted through clearinghouses. The Senate bill would require banks to spin off their derivatives business.

June 1, 2010 Congressional efforts to overhaul the rules for Wall Street are on the home stretch. Members of the House and Senate will meet over the next few weeks to work out the differences between their two bills. And while banks are the focus of the legislation, competing provisions on consumers are some of the most contentious.

May 21, 2010 The Democratic-led Senate has pushed through the largest rewrite of financial regulations since the aftermath of the Great Depression. But some Republicans and liberal Democrats say the bill, which must be reconciled with a similar House measure, falls short of its goal.

May 20, 2010 The U.S. Senate on Thursday passed a sweeping measure to overhaul the rules for Wall Street. The bill still has to be reconciled with a similar House measure.

May 20, 2010 As the Senate finishes up its financial regulatory bill, another key player in the economic meltdown is getting some scrutiny: credit rating agencies. They were giving favorable ratings to questionable financial products. Under new proposals, product issuers could no longer shop around for rating agencies -- they would be assigned by the SEC.

May 19, 2010 In financial regulatory bills in Congress, some lawamakers are proposing a consumer financial protection agency. Only one constituency has made headway against it: auto dealers. The House bill carves them out from under the scrutiny of the proposed lending watchdog. An amendment pending in the Senate would do the same. It's one of several such measures aimed at taming the watchdog.

May 12, 2010 Republicans say they want the government-backed institutions to compete on a level playing field with the private sector. But Democrats say pulling government support for the struggling organizations will ultimately hurt average Americans.

May 11, 2010 The vote would force the Fed to put details of its emergency lending on its website and require the Government Accountability Office to investigate any potential conflicts of interest in those deals. A separate amendment calling for more regular audits failed.
May 7, 2010 The dispute over the creation of a consumer financial protection agency has been at the center of the debate of a measure trying to overhaul regulations on banks. A Republican proposal to dilute consumer provisions was defeated Thursday. Democrats and the president argued that the GOP proposal would have "gutted" consumer protections.

Off Remote from Hobbyist Software is a switch for remotely changing the active status of a Mac OS X or Windows system; some simple software needs to be installed on the desktop server. It only works on devices connected to the same home or office router, whether connected via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
With Off Remote, you can be at the other end of the house or office and turn off a computer from your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. Or you can restart it, put it to sleep, lock it, or log out of the active account. The commands can also be set to occur after a chosen period of time.
Off Remote may sound like a tool only for the most lazy. It is that, but it's also a great remote control if you run computers scattered about a home or office.
