JustJENN recipes » Iron Man Pizza Hand Pies. Tony Stark is the man. No literally. THE man, Iron Man – and for some reason I can only envision little Iron Man hand pies filled with…pizza. Oh, so delicious. I used the Marvel cookie cutter set from Williams Sonoma. And like my Captain America Apple hand pies, these couldn't be easier. Ingredients:pie dough marinara sauce mozzarella cheese pepperoni, diced small egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 Tablespoon water) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Half of the cut outs will be the back side. Now take the other Iron Man faces and place them carefully on top of the filling. Place the pies on the baking sheet and brush the tops with the egg wash. Little Iron Man pizza pies, the snack of choice for all Avengers! Crepes of Wrath. White Chicken Pizza.
January 19, 2011 White Chicken Pizza In this house I know that anytime I make a pizza, it's guaranteed that it will get eaten.
Even if I screw it up, the mantra seems to be that there is no such thing as a bad pie. Only the "this is pretty darn good pizza, pass another slice please" pizza, the "thank you soooo much for making pizza mommy" pizza (trust me, dinner compliments from the six and under crowd are a rare treat so this is the sign of a job well done), and the "Get your hand off that last slice, I called dibs and I'll fight ya for it if I have to" kickin' awesome pizza. This pizza is of the third distinction. I made my own crust (my recipe's here), but you can also use a pre-bought dough or pizza crust and it will still work just perfectly. Ingredients needed: Throw your chicken, shallots, garlic and the salt/pepper in a skillet and cook them up on medium heat. Once they're cooked through, remove them from the heat. Next up, the spinach. End of Summer Recipe: Three Cheese Tomato Tart.
Pizza Swirl Bread. I have good news and bad news.
The good news is… I made you bread. It tastes like pizza. It's swirled with piles of grated provolone and spicy pepperoni and a nice little mixture of Italian seasoning [...that came out of a tube]. Yeah. We all do it. The bad news is that it disappeared. Like… all of it. At best I could dig the foil out of the trash for you that enveloped this loaf for a full 13 minutes before complete domination took over. See, bread if my favorite thing to make. I want to dive headfirst into this pepperoni roll on steroids and doggy paddle through every cheesy swirl. Pizza Swirl Bread [adapted from martha stewart.com] makes one loaf 4 tablespoons butter 1/3 cup milk 1/4 cup warm water 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 teaspoon sugar 1 large egg 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 garlic cloves, minced 6 ounces provolone cheese, freshly grated 4 ounces grated parmesan cheese 20-30 slices pepperoni, or however much you would like 1/3 cup tomato sauce, or more if desired.

Re: How to compact iTunes music library files in response to Frank Nicodem SolvedHi Frank,
You can delete these files, and upon reopening of itunes, they will be recreated fresh and new. However, you will lose song ratings, playlists, playcounts and possibly other information you have diligently passed to iTunes over the years, and you will have to re-add your music...
It might be fun to save backup copies and then "refresh" the files to see how big they are...but I have around 2400 songs, and my files are close to 4MB. So 10x sounds about right.

Welcome to New Technical Director: Drilling and Completions
Welcome to the SPE's Drilling and Completions discipline page. This is intended to be a portal to all SPE activities and events of interest to the drilling and completions community.
Technology transfer is at the core of SPE activities. The SPE Drilling and Completion journal, now published online, provides access to quality assured technology through peer-reviewed technical papers. The SPE publishes a wide range of drilling and completion related textbooks, monographs, primers, and reprints. Each year there are many regional and global conferences, forums and workshops covering topics of relevance to drilling and completions. Three technical sections—Drilling Systems Automation, Wellbore Integrity and Wellbore Positioning—exist to support members' interests in those specific aspects of oilfield technology. SPE Connect, its professional networks and drilling and completion online communities together allow SPE members to meet and to collaborate on technical matters and challenges.
Two recent innovations expanding the range of technology transfer activities are the webinar series and Petrowiki. The webinars are a great way to hear industry experts talking about topics of current importance. I'm proud that drilling and completions was the first discipline to be represented in Petrowiki. Please use and contribute it to help it become the best possible resource for all drilling and completion related information and knowledge.
It's my honour and privilege to serve as Technical Director for Drilling and Completions. I believe it's important that the SPE should provide the support practising drilling and completions professionals need to drill and to complete every well safely, efficiently, and with minimized environmental impact. Through my career in the development and application of drilling technology I've benefitted greatly from many of things the SPE does for its members. I've become increasingly aware of how much of that depends on its members volunteering their time and talents. I encourage you to visit the Get Involved pages of SPE.org to learn more about how you can help your fellow members by contributing to SPE activities.
I've outlined here some of the SPE's various drilling and completions related activities. With the Drilling and Completions Advisory Committee, I'll be working to expand these and to make them more relevant to today's challenges. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you think there are additional activities SPE could be pursuing which would be of value to you in your professional life.

AlternativesExperience, Discipline, Focused Solely on Investment Management
Alternative strategies go beyond traditional, long-only positions in stocks and bonds. What makes a strategy "alternative" may be the assets it owns or the methods by which it invests.
Invesco has a long history of managing alternative strategies, and we offer a wide variety of choices for all types of investors. Explore how alternative strategies can play a role in your portfolio.
|Bank Loans
|What they are. Bank loans are privately arranged senior debt instruments that are structured with floating rates.
Reasons to consider them. Bank loans' floating rates make them an attractive source of yield to consider in a rising rate environment. They also have historically low correlations to traditional bonds, making them a potential diversifier for a fixed income allocation.
|What they are. Commodity strategies provide exposure to real assets such as precious metals, industrial metals, energy or agriculture.
Reasons to consider them. Commodities have historically outperformed in inflationary environments. Also, they can add diversification benefits to portfolios due to their historically low correlations to both equities and bonds.
|What they are. Currency strategies take either a long or short position in a single foreign currency or a basket of other currencies.
Reasons to consider them. Currencies can provide diversification to a portfolio. Currency returns have historically had low correlation to stock and bond returns, and may help mitigate portfolio volatility.
|Diversified Alternatives
|What they are. Diversified alternatives strategies invest in a number of different types of nontraditional asset classes and strategies.
Reasons to consider them. These strategies typically target equity-like returns with significantly lower volatility. They provide exposure to multiple alternatives in a single investment.
|Equity Market Neutral
|What they are. Equity market neutral strategies use offsetting long and short stock positions in an attempt to limit non-stock-specific risk.
Reasons to consider them. They seek to provide positive returns above cash, regardless of market environment, and typically with lower volatility than the broad market.
|Global Macro
|What they are. Global macro strategies base their investment decisions on macro views of various markets around the world. They may take long and short positions within and across such asset classes as equities, fixed income and currencies.
Reasons to consider them. These strategies seek to provide consistent returns in all market environments. They target equity-like returns with lower volatility.
|Hedged Equity
|What they are. Hedged equity strategies invest in stocks and may use derivative instruments or other investment techniques in an effort to control volatility or protect against losses.
Reasons to consider them. Hedged equity strategies seek to reduce an investor's exposure to volatility while also enhancing returns.
|Infrastructure and MLPs
|What they are. Infrastructure companies own or operate assets such as bridges, toll roads, water supplies, pipelines and others. Master limited partnerships (MLPs) are publicly traded partnerships that derive most of their cash flows from real estate, natural resources and commodities.
Reasons to consider them. Infrastructure strategies can provide diversification as well as a stable income stream and natural hedge against inflation as revenue is adjusted. Because MLPs must distribute most of their cash on a quarterly basis, they may offer high income potential while diversifying equity portfolios.
|Long/Short Equity
|What they are. These strategies typically take both long and short positions to benefit from rising stock prices on the long side and declining stock prices on the short side.
Reasons to consider them. Long/short equity strategies seek to mitigate portfolio volatility and provide protection against downside risk. They can also provide diversification.
|Private Equity
|What they are. Private equity strategies invest in companies that are not publicly quoted on a stock exchange. Investments in private companies aim to deliver long-term capital gains that are realized when the holding is sold or when the company goes public.
Reasons to consider them. For investors who understand the long-term, illiquid nature of the asset class, private equity strategies offer the potential for above-average returns, low long-term correlations with other asset classes and lower volatility.
|Real Estate
|What they are. These strategies invest in real estate properties through the purchase of equity and/or debt. Ownership may be direct and illiquid (e.g., the purchase an office building) or indirect and liquid (e.g., investing in securities such as real estate investment trusts).
Reasons to consider them. Real estate can provide diversification to a portfolio, with low correlation to other major asset classes as well as global property markets that have relatively low correlations with each other. Real estate can offer yields that have low correlation to corporate and government bonds. This asset class may also offer inflation-hedging characteristics.
|What they are. Also known as risk parity strategies, these portfolios are constructed so that each asset contributes a relatively equal amount of risk to the strategic allocation of the portfolio. These portfolios may also include a tactical overlay that allows managers to opportunistically adjust the strategic allocation.
Reasons to consider them. This approach seeks to limit the effect that one underperforming asset may have on overall strategy performance. The goal is to mitigate portfolio volatility and protect against downside risk.
|Unconstrained Fixed Income
|What they are. These strategies may seek returns in a variety of ways, including the creation of long/short exposures or the implementation of an unconstrained approach that allows the managers to pursue their best ideas across fixed income markets.
Reasons to consider them. The goal of these strategies is to generate positive returns in any market, with lower risk than traditional fixed income strategies.

FIVE BURNING QUESTIONS FOR THE TEXAS A&M AGGIES' 2012 FOOTBALL SEASON: Few football programs have ever undergone wholesale changes like Texas A&M has this off-season. The Aggies will start 2012 with a new quarterback, a new head coach, a new conference and a new athletic director overseeing it all. Needless to say, there's a lot of uncertainty in College Station. So which questions are nagging head coach Kevin Sumlin most? Here's a look at five.

Genetics of Colorectal Cancer (PDQ®): Genetics - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Major Genetic Syndromes
Table 5. Extracolonic Tumor Risks in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis continued...
Most APC mutations that occur between codon 169 and codon 1393 result in the classic FAP phenotype.[27,28,29] There has been much interest in correlating the location of the mutation within the gene with the clinical phenotype, including the distribution of extracolonic tumors, polyposis severity, and congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. The most consistent observations are that attenuated polyposis and the less classic forms of FAP are associated with mutations that occur in or before exon 4 and in the latter two-thirds of exon 15,[28] and that retinal lesions are rarely associated with mutations that occur before exon 9.[29,32] Exon 9 mutations have also been associated with attenuated polyposis. Additionally, individuals with exon 9 mutations tend not to have duodenal adenomas.[33]
Density of colonic polyposis
Researchers have found that dense carpeting of colonic polyps, a feature of classic FAP, is seen in most patients with APC mutations, particularly those mutations that occur between codons 169 and 1393. At the other end of the spectrum, sparse polyps are features of patients with mutations occurring at the extreme ends of the APC gene or in exon 9. (Refer to the Attenuated Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (AFAP) section of this summary for more information.)
Extracolonic tumors
Desmoid tumors
Desmoid tumors are proliferative, locally invasive, nonmetastasizing, fibromatous tumors in a collagen matrix. Although they do not metastasize, they can grow very aggressively and be life threatening.[34] Desmoids may occur sporadically, as part of classical FAP, or in a hereditary manner without the colon findings of FAP.[15,35] Desmoids have been associated with hereditary APC gene mutations even when not associated with typical adenomatous polyposis of the colon.[35,36]
Most studies have found that 10% of FAP patients develop desmoids, with reported ranges of 8% to 38%. The incidence varies with the means of ascertainment and the location of the mutation in the APC gene.[35,37,38]APC mutations occurring between codons 1445 and 1578 have been associated with an increased incidence of desmoid tumors in FAP patients.[32,36,39,40] Desmoid tumors with a late onset and a milder intestinal polyposis phenotype (hereditary desmoid disease) have been described in patients with mutations at codon 1924.[35]

Lined Linen Blazer: Notch collar style blazer in an easy-care linen blend that's fully lined for quality. Features seaming for shape.
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 4.10 out of 10 votes cast
Love the blazer and pant . I also purchase the blazer and pant in white The fit is perfect. Would love to see some fall colors in the linen material .
Monroe, LA
washable Linen
Love these, bought the blazer, pants and skirt. Every piece fit well, the pants are a little long, but with heels they will be fine. I will have these pieces dry cleaned as with any linen clothing, even with the cotton, will wrinkle. I am very satisfied with my purchase with the on sale price.
Linen Jacket
I bought this jacket in orange and lime for my daughter's birthday along with the matching skirts and a white skirt as well. She was extremely pleased and she looks so professional when she wears them to work.
Cleveland, Ohio
Received the jacket in good time. It was pretty wrinkled so I washed it before I wore it. It looked okay after the wash, but then it felt too small around the waist. I don't know if it shrunk or not, can't say for sure. It looks okay to wear, but can't button it.
Calistoga, CA.
Love these Jackets!
I love these jackets! First time buying them, and I purchased the black, white and cool mint. They look really nice on and are very comfortable to wear, and I like the material. It's real nice to wear this spring and even on those cool breezy summer days and evenings. I will also wear them in the fall and winter months too. I purchased the skirts to match, so I can mix and match everything. I can wear the blazers and jackets together or separate. They look great any way you wear them, and are a great price too. I wear a lot of black and white and they match well with everything, but the cool mint is a really awesome color and looks just like what you see on your computer screen. I love the color! I'm real happy I decided to purchase these blazers! :)
San Jose, Ca
Very Nice
Jacket is a beautiful color, fully lined and nicely tailored. I've gotten many compliments!
Sterling, CT
Washable Linen Blazers
I have 6 of these blazers. I am long limbed and the tall sizes are perfect for my long arms. They run true to size. I do not wash them, I have them dry cleaned. I wish there were more colors.
Salem, NH
This Color is NOTHING like shown in Picture, Color All Wrong, it's more of a Fuchsia Color instead of Pink, this Color of the Blazer is a Light Red.
What A World
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Nice jacket
This is a pretty nice jacket. Fits very well if you have an hourglass figure, is true to size. Not the highest quality one can find but very comfortable and nice to have to look very presentable on a hot summer day. I'm here to buy another white one and a purple too.
Rutherford NJ
Colors are NOT as delivered
The dress and jacket quality is good. But the Colors are NOT what you see. The Island blue in person has much more green and is more emerald blue and the Bright Pink in person is more a salmon pink. seems like it has some red tones too it.

agree with Size it Up!
Loved the style and material and quality, but I think the sizing is off. I usually wear a 14-16 but this size 16 was way too small
Pine Grove, PA
Size up UP!
2 STAR! I ordered this in a 10 tall to be loose. Not only was it very small, it didn't fit properly and was to short. I'm 5'8", wear a size 8. But I easily could have gone up another size or two. Returned both the black & white. Loved the material though!
Houston, Texas

VERY disappointed. Dress is advertised as white and the color is actually a light sandstone color. It would be better advertised as off-white. NOT HAPPY.
Lady J
Virginia Beach, VA
Collar was not sewn right and would have had to have been covered. Also ran small. Color was right on.
Momma swag
Caledonia, mn
The dress is beautiful. I recommend you get the dress professionally pressed with light starch or sizing before you wear, this will eliminate a lot of the wrinkles.
Abingdon, Maryland
Wrinkles in a second
Love the style but the material wrinkles very easy. I ironed it before putting it on. By the time I left the hose there were horizontal wrinkle across the entire front in the lap area. Ok for a party where you won't be sitting.

I will wear them, but just a bit disappointed with the stitching. I love the back of the shoe. Fits perfect with my slightly bow legs. Very comfortable and the colors are currently popular...

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Tyler Gaffney will have season-ending surgery after tearing the lateral meniscus in his left knee.
The former Cathedral Catholic High star was Carolina's sixth-round draft pick out of Stanford and was expected to provide some depth in the backfield.
Coach Ron Rivera said Saturday that Gaffney will have surgery next week and will be placed on injured reserve. Gaffney injured his knee in Friday night's Fan Fest practice while attempting to make a cut.

Why not hold a special election for state comptroller?
The office is empty now, following Alan Hevesi's resignation and conviction on defrauding the government by using a state employee as his wife's chauffeur for several years. He copped a plea and quit only six weeks after easily winning re-election.
Now the replacement pro-cess is under way and, per the state constitution, it's up to a vote of Senate and Assembly members. Contrast that to what happens when a senator or Assembly member resigns, as in the case of Michael Balboni. ...

Dissent in the Desert
Editors note: this story originally ran in The Salt Lake Tribune July 15, 2001.
America's United Nations-free zone starts near the mouth of Zion National Park, takes in a few stucco homes, an alfalfa field or two, some shops, cows and horses and peters out part way though Utah's Virgin River Valley. It is country as lovely as it is rugged and blunt.
Early Mormon pioneers fashioned a congregation here, led by men such as John D. Lee, a fiery zealot executed for his role in the Mountain Meadows Massacre. In 1857, Lee and the Mormon territorial militia raided an Arkansas wagon train near Enterprise, a city about 50 air miles from La Verkin and Virgin.
Nearly 144 years later, Lee's great-grandson, Virgin Mayor Jay Willard Lee, is leading a raid of another sort.
Based on deep concerns that the federal government, environmentalists and the United Nations want to rob southern Utahns of land and water and subvert myriad constitutional rights, Lee is shepherding a movement to ban the global organization, arm neighbors and outlaw wilderness activism.
The latest salvo came on the Fourth of July, when the La Verkin City Council passed an ordinance declaring the city a U.N.-free zone. Virgin's council is considering a similar statute.
"The U.N. wants the Virgin River," Lee says. "The global elite are using the United Nations and organizations that were set up to help the environment to lock up private property. It's time to fight back."
While efforts here may be novel, they are influenced by an enduring mix of sagebrush rebellion, constitutional devotion and old-time Mormon millen- nialism.
The John Birch Society, a conservative organization whose Cold War clout has withered, still thrives in La Verkin, Virgin, Toquerville and Hurricane, towns linked by a river and a road.
"I'd say 90 percent of the people pushing this are John Birchers," says Toquerville Mayor Charles Wahlquist, who opposes the anti-U.N. ordinance. "Or they used to be."
City leaders also share ancestors, grandchildren and church duties. Lee and two of his city councilmen constitute a municipal quorum and used to serve in the bishopric of the Virgin Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. La Verkin's elected officers show a similar mingling of church-civic authority.
In Toquerville, at a recent LDS sacrament meeting, Ned Snow denounced the United Nations in a rousing speech, the sort of church-pew partisanship frowned on by LDS Church leaders in Salt Lake City.
"When the Constitution is hanging by a thread, [the LDS Church] will save it," says Snow, a Toquerville auto mechanic and Vietnam-era veteran. "That day's not far off."
The LDS Church rarely takes an official political position or comments on matters before the United Nations, LDS spokesman Dale Bills says. "Church members who hold public office and individual members who cite church doctrine, practice or belief to justify their views on public policy do not speak for the church."
One senses that Lee, 56, enjoys the publicity that has consumed his city since it enacted a measure last year requiring heads of households, with a few exceptions, to own guns. He offers free "Virgin" T-shirts to reporters and has become a darling of conservative talk-radio shows.
While some of Lee's closest friends disagree with his political blueprint, naysayers have been unable to dissuade a bloc of city bosses from proposing increasingly isolationist laws.
"They have this sky-is-falling, everybody-is-out-to-get-us mentality," says Gary McKell, a state game warden and La Verkin councilman. McKell was one of two council members to vote against a ban on displaying U.N. symbols on public property that also orders residents who work with the international organization to post a sign.
Under pressure from Utah's attorney general and civil libertarians, Lee and his brother-in-law, La Verkin Mayor Dan Howard, have reaffirmed that the "U.N.-Free Zone" is symbolic. Still, violators can be prosecuted and two part-time La Verkin police officers resigned in protest.
"It's an isolationist view and we don't need it," says LaMar Gubler, owner of the Sunrise Market, a morning gathering place in the middle of La Verkin. Gubler keeps a copy of the ordinance on a store counter for customers to read. "You could go to any place in rural America and find the same sentiment."
Dissension has not weakened support. Ned Snow is pushing Toquerville to vote on the measure and Don Tait of Hurricane, a John Birch Society member since 1962, has asked his city to consider it.
Others hope Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who has agreed to discuss the ordinance Wednesday with the La Verkin council, can persuade city leaders to reverse course.
"The last place I would want to go is someplace that has declared war on the U.N. at the same time they are arming themselves," says Andy Anderson, who moved to Virgin eight years ago with wife Dee and five daughters. The family built and runs the Fort Zion Trading Post, a large tourist shop that caters to the roughly 2 million yearly visitors to nearby Zion National Park. To foster goodwill with Zion's many international guests, the Andersons surround their property with flags from other nations.
"I would in no way want to offend the sensibilities of people from other countries," Dee Anderson says. "I make my living off these people."
But for Lee, the debate runs deeper than pocketbooks. Political deliberations only magnify his religious conviction. More than a few La Verkin and Virgin residents accept the so-called "White Horse Prophecy" ascribed to Mormon founder Joseph Smith, an apocalyptic belief that the U.S. Constitution one day will hang by a thread and a Mormon elder will ride in on a metaphorical white horse and save it.
"If you want to see the hand of the Lord, read the Constitution," says Lee, a soft-spoken man who ranches, farms and works for a building-supply company. "God is at work there and his work is under attack."
Al Snow, a La Verkin councilman and Lee confidant, agrees.
"The United Nations would love to destroy the Constitution," says Snow, a former John Bircher. "They'll never overturn [the ordinance]."
Snow's influences are more abstract than Lee's. A retired NASA employee who moved to La Verkin from California in 1974, Snow is critical of a 1972 treaty that established U.N. World Heritage Sites. Among the designations are Independence Hall in Philadelphia and Yellowstone National Park. Tait and Al Snow contend the treaty infringes on U.S. sover- eignty.
"Our leaders have given up the Constitution for one-world government," Tait says.
Lee, on the other hand, is a landowner who for years has fought the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management and Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance over access to land and water.
Howard, La Verkin's mayor, is angered by the loss of historical hunting spots on federal land and designation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Four parcels within La Verkin, promised in a trade from the BLM to Utah, were tied up after the monument's designation. Three of the parcels eventually changed hands but Howard says SUWA wants to scuttle development.
"These people come from a firebrand form of patriotism," says Dick Hingson of La Verkin, who has worked for SUWA. Hingson has asked the American Civil Liberties Union to consider challenging the anti-U.N. ordinance. "The next step is witch hunts if this is not handled in the right way."
The views of Lee, Howard, Tait and Al Snow coalesced after a recent meeting with Texan Daniel New, whose son, Michael, was an Army medic court-martialed in 1996 for refusing to wear a U.N. beret.
New says La Verkin is just the start of a movement to get the United States out of the United Nations. "A spark has struck. Now the question is, 'What will the nation do with a spark?' "
When Virgin passed its gun ordinance, Lee and Daniel New began corresponding. Last month, New agreed to meet with town councils in Virgin and La Verkin where he unveiled a draft "United Nations-free zone" ordinance.
About the same time, Lee's son-in-law, Sean Amodt, began lobbying leaders in adjacent communities to pass a measure supporting repeal of the 17th Amendment, which provides for the election of U.S. senators by popular vote rather than selection by state legislatures.
"We need to get back to the way it used to be," says Washington City Councilman Micheal Heaton. Washington, just north of St. George, adopted the resolution last week.
"A good deal of our problems could be solved if we return to the vision of our original document," says Tait, a Republican precinct chairman and retired Dixie State College professor. "It's a heavenly inspired document and the men who put it together were put here by God mainly for that purpose."
The constitutional absolutism sweeping southwestern Utah is grounded in the political philosophy and teachings of W. Cleon Skousen, the 88-year-old former Salt Lake City police chief, author and ultraconservative icon. Lee, Snow, Tait and New all have met Skousen or taken a class he has taught on the U.S. Constitution. Lee and Snow credit Skousen with inspiring them to act.
And ridding southern Utah of outside influences such as the United Nations that don't appear in the original U.S. Constitution, says Lee, is his prime motivation.
"This has really given me faith in this country," he says. "It's a rallying cry for all the people who saw evil and thought they couldn't do anything about it. They can. We can. We will."

Field of Work: Career development support to severely injured veterans.
Problem Synopsis: By 2007, the Army's Wounded Warrior Program was helping more than 2,000 severely injured soldiers make the transition from military to civilian life. However, the program lacked a focus on career development for these veterans.
Synopsis of the Work: The National Organization on Disability worked with the U.S. Army to develop, implement and assess a three-year demonstration program called the Wounded Warrior Careers program, which used an intensive, case-management approach to help severely injured veterans and key family members transition to civilian careers.
The Wounded Warrior Careers program was serving 243 veterans: 62 in Dallas, 74 in Colorado (Colorado Springs, near Fort Carson) and 107 in North Carolina (Fayetteville, near Fort Bragg).
Some 67 percent of program participants were in an educational or training program, or working-about double the rate for veterans who did not receive the services.
The assessment's preliminary findings showed that:

Electric Cars Cause More Pollution
- Uploaded by Ghost32 on Feb 19, 2012
- Views: 608
Tired of the hype electric cars are getting for being efficient?
Well—you're in luck.
TIME reports a recent study by the University of Tennessee says eco-friendly drivers are actually meaner in most cases.
The study found that—in terms of air pollution—electric cars aren't completely in the clear when you look at how the electricity is generated. One of the researchers says...
"If we compare gasoline car emissions to electric car emissions, the electric cars look very, very bad... So the point is that you have to consider the emissions exposure when the exposure source is far apart—the electrical power plant as opposed to the tailpipe of a car."
So if they aren't effecting the environment on the road, how big of a deal could it be? About as big as China where the study was conducted. Here's Autoline Daily—
"That's because of about 85% of China's electricity comes from coal, and coal is dirtier than gasoline."
So what's giving the cars such a green image? VP of communications at The Electrification Coalition tells US News and World Report—
"Coal accounts for only about half of American electric power, while cleaner natural gas and nuclear energy accounts for about 20 percent each. Because America depends less on coal for its electricity, electric cars [are] a more appealing option here..."
Takepart.com reports the "earth-friendly" engines create 3.6 times more emissions per passenger than gasoline-dependent cars and while their wheels may be dirtier—There's still a reason to support them.
"As countries continue to decarbonize their electricity grid and move towards renewables, EVs are only going to get better for the environment. In the meantime, they're doing exactly what they were designed for: to give us an alternative to gasoline-fueled vehicles."
But a writer for Arbiter Online says that's not good enough.
"If society truly wants to be responsible it should look at every option, and not just blindly accept electric automobiles as the only answer. They are a great first step, but this shouldn't be where the quest should end for viable alternatives."

MONDAY Sept. 6 Labor Day. This is a joke, right?
TUESDAY Sept. 7 It's that time of the month for the Diocese of Orange: pedo-spinning! Over the weekend, the Los Angeles Times reported that church officials settled a sex-abuse lawsuit last year against Father Daniel Murray for $500,000. Church spokesman Father Joe Fenton defended the non-disclosure of the settlement—which violates a 2002 vow taken by all Catholic bishops in the United States to reveal all sex-abuse settlements—by claiming the alleged victim wished to avoid publicizing the case, a claim quickly repudiated in the article by the victim's attorney. Meanwhile, all was silent at St. Boniface Church in Anaheim, where Murray served as priest from 1983 to 1994. Weekly writer Gustavo Arellano said there was no announcement on the Murray settlement at this past Sunday's Mass, despite Thesis No. 6 of the diocese's "Covenant with the Faithful," which pledges to be "open, honest and forthright" regarding all sex-abuse settlements. Instead, a prayer was offered for the fifth straight Sunday that "everyone involved—victims, lawyers and judges—reach a fair and equitable settlement in their lawsuits against the diocese for sexual abuse." Those three are the last entities for which the faithful should be lighting votive candles—how about a tire fire for the soul of Orange Bishop Tod D. email@example.com

So what's the truth about Lindsay Lohan and James Franco?
Of all the Hollywood names who made an appearance on Lindsay Lohan's infamous 'sex 'list', James Franco seems to be the one most willing to talk about it. At first Franco flat out denied that he'd slept with Lindsay, but now he's told Howard Stern that the pair did 'make out' in 2004 and has branded the actress delusional. There seems to be so many pieces to this particular Hollywood puzzle, but as far as we know, what is the real story between Lindsay and James?
James Franco has denied he slept with Lindsay Lohan
Speaking on Howard Stern's Wednesday show, Franco discussed his appearance on Lindsay's notorious list saying "I will swear on my mother's life that I never had sex with her.'' However he also confessed that the pair did 'make out' saying, "All right, we maybe kissed… it was lame. I can't believe she put me on that private list, she's so delusional!'' Lindsay's 'delusions' appear to have come from an incident in 2004 when the pair met in New York where James was filming Spider-Man 2. Franco explained that he considered Lindsay, who would have been 17 at the time, too young saying, "it was also like, "What the hell am I doing?" She was young.''
More: James Franco could have starred with Lindsay in Mean Girls
A month ago, when the list was first made public, Franco was quick to deny that anything had happened between himself and Lohan. When promoting his poetry book, Directing Herbert White, which coincidently contains a poem about Lohan, Franco said "Lindsay herself has told lies about me with her people-she's-slept-with list!" Adding that anything he might have written about the star was "much less than what she said".
Lindsay Lohan has suffered more embarrassment since her list was made public
Lindsay's 'sex-list' isn't the first time that her name has been linked with Franco. Last year Franco also appeared on Howard Stern's show (he really must have an invested interested in these two) where he was asked about Lohan. In his own style, Stern asked Franco about the Lohan rumours saying "'You turned down sex with Lindsay Lohan, didn't you?" Franco answered with, "'Oh, gosh. Poor Lindsay. I haven't talked to her in a while... We were friends." He added that the incident happened at the Chateau Marmont where Franco had been staying and Lohan was living. He later said, "She was having issues even then, so you feel weird. Honestly, she was a friend. I've met a lot of people that are troubled and sometimes you don't want to do that.''
More: Lindsay has been celebrating the Mean Girls 10th Anniversary
The incident that Franco alluded to last year at the Chateau Marmont might be the same one that he developed further on during his Stern appearance this week. Franco said that in 2007 at the Chateau Marmont Lindsay made it "'pretty damn clear that she liked" the actor. Even saying that she once broke into his room, explaining that he was on the couch and when he opened his eyes Lindsay was in his room at 3am.
James Franco has branded Lindsay delusional
So what's the real story between Franco and Lohan? Well from the picture Franco paints it seems to be one of unrequited lust. But interestingly, in 2011 when Lindsay was vying for a role opposite Franco in Oz the Great and Powerful she said ''I'll only do the movie if I can work with James. We're like best friends. We're hanging out later.'' The problem now is, other than the leaked list, Lindsay hasn't had a chance yet to give her side of the story with Franco. Until she does lets give Lohan the benefit of the doubt before we rush to judgement.

Covert Operations is an add-on for Command & Conquer which features 15 new missions, new music tracks, and multiplayer maps. Unlike the original game, the missions of Covert Operations can be played at any time and in any order, and are not accompanied by mission briefing cut-scenes. It added two new units to the game, and the new missions are more difficult than those of the original. The add-on pack features the DOS version's soundtrack, which includes music that was absent from the Windows 95 (or Gold Edition) version. Covert Operations was originally needed to unlock secret missions, which were later enabled by a patch to the main game.
Work has been progressing well on our next development cycle, and we are today making a snapshot of this work available in the form of a new playtest release. playtest-20150628 focuses on behind-the-scenes improvements, but also includes a collection of new features and bug fixes.

It has been a strange few days...
It seems that lately, very similar cars have buzzed me ...
Last week, friday, on the way to work - a lady smoking a cigarette in a white hyundai sonata (older model) buzzes me, I catch up to her at the light and it goes like this:
me: You need to give bicycles 3 feet of space when you pass.
lady: you were in the road.
me: there is no bike lane, that is where I have to be.
lady: you need to be on the right of the white line.
me: you don't have the right to kill people with your car.
lady: ignores me.
me: you need to respect bicyclists, and you need to give 3 feet when you pass, its the law in florida. - and I ride off.
fast forward to this morning...... on the way to work again .
Same model hyundai (gold colored) and another lady in the car... I am making a left turn and she comes around the same turn and screeches the tires and crosses over from the inside to the outside lane in one shot ... those kinds of turns always scare me.. lol ..
I catch up to her at the next light, and she is the 2nd car in line on the right side... I pass, nobody coming, I go past the red light..
about 1/2 a block down, the car in front passes me safely, gives me 3 feet - no problem. Here comes the golden girl ... my entire body lights up with her headlight glare, I see her front headlight in my peripheral vision so I knew she was CLOSE ... she buzzes me fast and just as she passes I slammed my palm against her rear passenger window..
She gives me the finger and I give it back, - she merges onto the highway ramp.

An Australian startup last week launched Oi, a simple messaging app along the lines of Yo. But today the startup team got an email from Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) saying that Yo wants the app taken down due to it being a "direct clone" that infringes on Yo's copyright. "We think it's a ridiculous accusation," says Chhai Thach, a co-founder at the unfortunately-named Getyo, which makes business automation software.
He explains to Tech in Asia:
Although Oi is a nano social app, its design and features are more advanced than Yo and is purposely designed for B2B [business-to-business] to complement our Reception for iPad app.
Oi (pictured below) has an open API so that it can be incorporated into other B2B apps as well. Thach continues, "While Yo clones were meant to make fun of Yo, we have been looking for a lightweight solution for our reception app to notify staff or co-workers when a visitor arrives to meet with them. Oi does this. When a visitor arrives and checks in, the staff would get an Oi from the reception app."
Other micro-messaging apps got the same threatening email today too, such as YOLO. The Oi app is still in the App Store right now. "We won't be removing the app voluntary as we believe it's a different app to Yo and our API is also different," says Thach.
We've contacted the Yo team on this issue and will update when we hear back.

Less Than Jake announce their across Canada tour ! ****TICKET LINKS UPDATED*****
Less Than Jake's bass player Roger Lima says "America's hat is a great place to eat some poutine" and with that sentence you know that LTJ is looking for a good time on the run of headline shows across Canada this October.
Less Than Jake return to the great white north for their first Canadian tour in 4 year in support of their latest release on Fat Wreck Chords See The Light .
While some other bands of a certain vintage are latching onto musical trends, you won't find any dubstep beats or vocoder distortion onSee The Light—a title that nods to the band's history of marrying dark lyrical content (the tunnel) to bouncy musical arrangements (the light at the end). Less Than Jake aren't turning away from their roots, and echoing Mark Twain, Fiorello points out that the rumors regarding their genre's demise are greatly exaggerated: "Punk has been declared dead every year for 30+ years and it's still going stronger than ever. People like to declare things dead just because it's dead to them, but if bands are passionate about what they're doing, they'll attract fans who are passionate."
Do The Math is the title track from See The Light and the a-side of a 7"that was released in June. The b-side is a previously unreleased original titled "Connect the Dots "from their See The Light recording sessions. Read what drummer Vinnie Fiorello had to say about this single below:
"The song is an important one to everyone in the band, it encapsulates being through ups and downs in life- not only remembering who was there for you but also who is still around. The notion that you have to carry this heavy weight around on your shoulders becomes null and void when you realize the people, places, and things that matter the most in your life."
The new "Do The Math" video is as much fun as the band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntL2IYTiJgo
This tour begins hot off the heels after hitting a giant milestone for the band as this summer Less Than Jake celebrated their 365th Warped Tour date.
Make sure to catch Less Than Jake on tour across Canada this fall with special guests Big D And The Kids Table and The Interrupters !

At last the Pension Reform Act passed by the National Assembly was signed into law by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The law is to govern and regulate the administration of uniform pension scheme for both public and private sectors. It repeals Pension Act No 2 of 2004. Better late than never, it is believed that the new law is a response to the dynamic nature of the society and consists of sound provisions that are aimed at not just bridging the gap between the private and public sector labour but also protecting the worker and ensuring that contributions and investments made with pension funds are protected against risks and abuses especially by managers. The law, among several of its provisions, empowers the National Pension Commission (PenCom) to institute criminal proceedings against employers who fail to either deduct or remit pensions contributions. Equally, penalties and sanctions have been reviewed upward in view of the fact that the provisions in the old law became obsolete and ineffective.
In the new law, mode of diversion of assets and/or non-disclosures of interests and commissions accruable to pension fund assets which were not addressed in the old law have now been captured as offences and stiffer penalties are enshrined to serve as deterrence against mismanagement or diversion of pension funds under any guise. The new law also provides for, upon conviction, a prison term of not less than 10 years or fine of an amount equals to three times the amount so misappropriated or diverted, or both imprisonment and fine on any operator who mismanages pension funds.
Significantly, PenCom now has the legal powers to take proactive measures on licenced operators whose situations, actions or inactions jeopardize the safety of pension assets; and it further fortifies pension assets against mismanagement and/or systemic risks. The Pension Transition Arrangement Directorate under the new order is to ensure greater efficiency and accountability in the administration of the Defined Benefit Scheme in the federal public service such that payment of pensions would be made directly into pensioners' bank accounts in line with the current policy of the Federal Government.
On utilisation of pension funds for national development, the law makes sufficient provisions that will enable the creation of additional permissible investment instruments to accommodate initiatives for national development such as investment in the real sector, including infrastructure and real estate development. Finally, the new law consolidates previous amendments made to the 2004 Act. Some of these amendments are Pension Reform Amendment Act 2011and Universities Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2012, which reviewed the retirement age of university professors.
One of the major landmarks of the new law is the expansion of coverage to the private sector organisations with a minimum of three employees while reviewing the minimum rate of pension contribution from 15 per cent to 18 per cent of monthly emolument while 8 per cent will be contributed by the employee and 10 per cent by the employer. The law, by implication, further provides for additional benefits to workers' Retirement Savings Accounts (RSA) and enhances the monthly pension benefits at retirement as well as reducing the waiting period for accessing benefits in the event of loss of job by employees from six months to four, while at the same time compelling the employer to open a Temporary Retirement Savings Account on behalf of an employee that fails to open RSA within three months of assumption of duty.
As good as these new provisions are, the bill was delayed longer than necessary before its eventual passage due to the contentious issue of qualification of who to head the commission. As valid as the arguments from the two sides were, we are of the opinion that both the executive and legislative arms of government need to keep each other informed and sufficiently educated on matters requiring legislation in order to reduce unnecessary delays that are often experienced in the process of either making laws or amending laws that serve the good of the polity. Such unity of purpose and vigilance are also required at the implementation stage too. Specifically, the government must now work hard to ensure strict adherence to all aspects of the new Pension Reform Law.
