Applying a top coat is one of the most important steps in any nail care regimen. Without top coat, a manicure is more likely to become chipped and require more frequent applications. Because the needs of every woman are different, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to nail care; however, many brands offer just one or two top coat options, meaning that women have to settle for formulas that aren't always ideal for them. The Deborah Lippmann Top Coat collection is different from others on the market in that it features multiple solutions to more fully meet the needs of women everywhere.
The Deborah Lippmann Top Coat range was created by Deborah Lippmann, a world-renowned manicurist who has worked for major couture design houses like Balenciaga and Versace and for well-known celebrities like Cher and Sarah Jessica Parker. To protect the nails and the rest of the body from the effects of toxins, the Deborah Lippmann Top Coat range is free of DBP, toluene and formaldehyde. Shop the Deborah Lippmann Top Coat line to find the right formula for your needs.
The key to having a beautiful manicure is using the right top coat, not just any top coat. The Deborah Lippmann Top Coat collection offers many different formulas to fully meet your every nail care need.
When it comes to manicures, many women love an ultra-shiny, wet look that draws attention to the hands. Deborah Lippmann On a Clear Day Top Coat is a high-gloss top coat formula that makes getting that sleek, shiny finish incredibly easy. Just one thin coat helps to protect polish, and the formula is enhanced by a UV protector to prevent sun-related discoloration.
For women who are struggling to improve the health of dry, brittle or weakened nails, Deborah Lippmann Umbrella Waterproof Top Coat is the ideal way to complete a manicure. This unique formula allows air to still reach the nails, providing the oxygenation needed for the tissue to recover from various signs of damage. The formula has a glossy finish and is 100 percent waterproof, so it can be applied before heading out the door on rainy or snowy days.
With their busy lifestyles, many women don't have time to sit and wait for their polish to dry. For manicuring on the go, Deborah Lippmann Addicted to Speed Ultra Quick-Dry Top Coat is the perfect choice. This top coat has an accelerated drying time, hardening quickly to create a durable layer of protection over nail color. Cellulose and dimethicone are included in the formula to create a glossy finish.

CLEVELAND -- Dr. Jerry Sue Thornton, who has been president for 21 years at Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C), announced Thursday that she will retire, effective June 30.
Cuyahoga Community College, currently marking a year-long celebration of its 50th anniversary, was Ohio's first community college and remains its largest.
Thornton became its third president on Jan. 2, 1992, after serving six years as president of Lakewood Community College (now known as Century College) in White Bear Lake, Minn.
Thornton was credited with guiding the unprecedented institutional growth and development during her 21 years there.
She began her community college career in 1971 as an English faculty member at Triton College in a Chicago suburb and remained there until she left in1985 from her position as the dean of Academic Affairs.
"With the continued support and confidence of the Board of Trustees, the College Foundation and the people of Cuyahoga County, it has been my distinct privilege to work with our outstanding faculty and staff to promote student success in collaboration with our community partners," said Thornton.
"Together, we have steadily expanded affordable and accessible opportunities for student achievement and success and to meet the ever-evolving needs of our region's employers. I am extremely proud of what we have been able to accomplish and believe this is the appropriate time for me to bring closure to my tenure and for the College to begin the transition to new leadership. We have recently launched several major academic initiatives, implemented new student success strategies and completed many major capital projects."
Jerry L. Kelsheimer, chairman of the Board of Trustees, said, "Dr. Thornton has worked tirelessly for more than two decades to shape Cuyahoga Community College as truly a place 'where futures begin.'"
A search advisory committee, which will include trustees as well as faculty, staff and community representation, will be chaired by Trustee David W. Whitehead, immediate past president of the Board. Dr. Carol A. Cartwright, retired president of Kent State University and Bowling Green State University, will be among its members.
The Board will also engage an executive-search firm to conduct a national search for the new President.
During Thornton's tenure:

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Evan Turner, Thaddeus Young and Spencer Hawes
each turned in double-doubles as the Philadelphia 76ers cruised past the
Atlanta Hawks, 101-90, at Philips Arena. Turner finished with 24 points and
11 rebounds, Hawes scored 19 and pulled down 12 boards and Young netted 14
to go with 13 rebounds for the 76ers, who kept their slim playoff hopes alive.
Philadelphia trails the Milwaukee Bucks by five games for the final spot in
the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Bucks lost on the road to the New York
Knicks Friday night. Josh Smith led five Atlanta players in double figures
with 19 points and Al Horford added 18 points and 10 rebounds for the
Hawks, who hold a 2 1/2- game lead over the Boston Celtics for sixth place in
the East. Boston lost at home to the Cleveland Cavaliers Friday.
Final Score: Cleveland 97, Boston 91
Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Tristan Thompson posted career-highs of 29
points and 17 rebounds, and the Cleveland Cavaliers broke a 10-game losing
streak with a 97-91 win over the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. Alonzo Gee
added 16 points and 10 boards for the Cavaliers, who won for the first time
since March 12 against Washington. The Cavs won despite a woeful shooting
performance from Kyrie Irving. He went 4-of-20 from the floor and had 11
points and eight assists. Boston, which got 23 points and nine rebounds from
Jeff Green, is 2 1/2 games ahead of Milwaukee for seventh place in the
Eastern Conference. Shavlik Randolph tallied 16 points before fouling out
for the Celtics, who have lost eight of their last 11 games. The Celtics
played without forward Paul Pierce, who sat out due to a sore left ankle.
Kevin Garnett also missed his eighth consecutive game for Boston because
of inflammation in his left ankle.
Final Score: New York 101, Milwaukee 83
New York, NY (Sports Network) - Carmelo Anthony recorded his third straight
game of 40 or more points, and the New York Knicks earned their 11th
consecutive victory by putting forth a huge second half to register a 101-83
win over the Milwaukee Bucks at Madison Square Garden. After racking up 50
points at Miami on Tuesday and 40 in a triumph at Atlanta the following
night, Anthony put up 41 on a sizzling 17-of-28 shooting and added a game-
high 14 rebounds. Eighteen of Anthony's points came during a third quarter
in which the Knicks shot 79 percent from the field and outscored the Bucks by
a whopping 42-21 margin. J.R. Smith had a huge night as well for New York,
which hasn't lost since a 93-80 setback at the Los Angeles Clippers on March
17. The Knicks' sixth man came through with 30 points while grabbing 10
rebounds to help his team overcome an early 10-point deficit. Brandon
Jennings led the slumping Bucks, losers in seven of their last nine outings,
with 25 points. J.J. Redick netted 18 points in the setback, with Larry
Sanders scoring nine to go along with 12 rebounds.
Final Score: Miami 89, Charlotte 79
Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - With LeBron James and Dwyane Wade sitting
once again, Mike Miller stepped up with a season-high 26 points and the Miami
Heat took an 89-79 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday. The bulk of
Miller's points came on 3-pointers, converting 7-of-11 from beyond the arc.
Chris Bosh had a well-rounded game with 18 points, eight rebounds and six
assists for Miami, which was without James and Wade for the third straight
game. Ray Allen also missed the contest for the Heat with a sprained ankle.
Rashard Lewis posted 14 points in the triumph. The Bobcats, losers in four
of their last five, were led by Michael Kidd- Gilchrist's 18 points and 14
rebounds. Kemba Walker and Gerald Henderson scored 12 and 11 points,
respectively, in the setback.
Final Score: Chicago 87, Orlando 86
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Nate Robinson scored 12 of his 19 points in the
fourth quarter to lead a late rally that propelled the Chicago Bulls to an
87-86 win over the Orlando Magic at the United Center. Luol Deng also had 19
points for Chicago, which trailed by five with 10 minutes to play before
embarking on an 18-4 run to take an 87-78 lead with 3:51 remaining. The
victory, Chicago's sixth in its last eight games, moved the Bulls within one
game of Brooklyn for the fourth playoff seed in the Eastern Conference.
Chicago now owns sole possession of the No. 5 spot as well after Atlanta lost
to Philadelphia on Friday. Beno Udrih poured in a season-high 27 points
for Orlando, which scored the game's final eight points and had a chance to
go ahead in the closing seconds before eventually being dealt a fourth
straight defeat and 12th setback in 13 outings. Nikola Vucevic finished with
16 points and 15 rebounds for the Magic, with Tobias Harris also recording a
double-double of 12 points and 11 boards.
Final Score: Oklahoma City 97, Indiana 75
Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - It was too much Kevin Durant and Russell
Westbrook Friday, and the Oklahoma City Thunder moved into a tie with San
Antonio atop the Western Conference. The duo combined for 58 points in the
Thunder's 97-75 rout of the Indiana Pacers. Durant netted 32 of his 34
points over the final three quarters, while Westbrook added 24 points
and nine assists for the Thunder, who downed San Antonio 100-88 on Thursday.
The Thunder dominated the glass and held a 53-31 rebounding margin against the
normally-physical Pacers, who lead the NBA in rebounding. Roy Hibbert
tallied 22 points and eight boards for Indiana, which failed in its attempt
to clinch its first Central Division title in nine years. The Pacers, who
had their five-game winning streak snapped, are 1 1/2 games behind the New
York Knicks for the second seed in the East.
Final Score: Toronto 95, Minnesota 93
Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Rudy Gay poured in a game-high 26 points
and DeMar DeRozan added 25 as the Toronto Raptors held on for a 95-93 win over
the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. The Raptors trailed 90-89 with 2:35
left, but DeRozan's 3-point play at the 2:13 mark gave Toronto a two-point
edge. Ricky Rubio then split a pair of free throws, and Gay buried a
turnaround jumper to put the visitors up 94-91 with just over 1 1/2 minutes to
go. Rubio bricked a trey, but Andrei Kirilenko stripped Gay and was
quickly fouled. Kirilenko missed the first try, but knocked down the second to
make it a two-point game with less than a minute remaining. Kyle Lowry
missed a short jumper, but Landry Fields grabbed the rebound and the Raptors
called a quick timeout. Gay dribbled the clock down to five seconds, but
missed a tough turnaround. Dante Cunningham grabbed the rebound and quickly
passed it to Rubio, who drove the length of the court before he was
fouled attempting a layup with 1.7 seconds to play. Rubio knocked down the
first free throw, but his second attempt rimmed out and the Wolves were
forced to foul Amir Johnson with 0.1 seconds showing. Johnson made the first
free throw to put Toronto ahead 95-93, but missed his second attempt. Nikola
Pekovic led Minnesota with 24 points and eight rebounds and Kirilenko scored
20 in the setback.
Final Score: Denver 113, Utah 96
Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Danilo Gallinari scored 21 points and
the Denver Nuggets handled the Utah Jazz with ease, 113-92, on Wednesday.
Kenneth Faried had 19 points and eight rebounds. Evan Fournier and Corey
Brewer scored 18 and 14 points, respectively, off the bench for the Nuggets,
who have won two straight and 17 of their last 19 games. Denver, which has
already clinched a playoff berth, is 3 1/2 games behind the Oklahoma City
Thunder for the second spot in the Western Conference standings. Gordon
Hayward scored 18 points while Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap scored 16 points
apiece, with Jefferson grabbing nine boards, for the Jazz, who had a five-
game winning streak snapped. With the loss, Utah drops to ninth in the
Western Conference standings, one- half game behind Lakers for the eighth and
final spot, with six games left on the schedule.

AP Sports Writer
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Georgia is expecting to land one of the largest football signing classes in school history.
The Bulldogs are bolstered by 13 players who graduated early from high school and enrolled in Athens. Before noon, the school has announced 24 signees and expects at least seven more before the day is done.
This class is expected to be more about depth than big names. Georgia missed out on top-rated prospect Reuben Foster, who picked Alabama over Auburn and the Bulldogs. Also, the No. 1-ranked player in the nation, defensive end Robert Nkemdiche of Grayson High, signed with Ole Miss.
Georgia is coming off its second straight Southeastern Conference East Division title. The Bulldogs lost to Alabama in a thrilling SEC title game, missing a chance to play for the BCS championship.
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) -- The consensus top recruit in the nation Robert Nkemdiche has announced he will attend Mississippi.
The 6-foot-5, 260-pound defensive end from Loganville, Ga., has been on several programs' wish list for more than a year, but Ole Miss appeared to be his destination for months because of close family ties. His brother Denzel Nkemdiche plays for the Rebels and he led the defense with 82 tackles, including 13 for a loss last season.
Wednesday is the first day prep football recruits could officially sign with colleges. Nkemdiche made the announcement in a news conference on ESPNU.
Second-year coach Hugh Freeze led Ole Miss to a 7-6 record last season, improving from a 2-10 mark in 2011.

Saw your artwork,dude you got a buyer for life .
Love your work, it's truly amazing!
Damn...I goint to buy some ice-cream
Yuk, I find this repugnant...is it meant to be satirical? or do you actually enjoy this kind of imagery?
I agree with Arielle.
this is so anti women. this is not art, this is sickness.
Looking over the art on society 6, women are depicted as sex objects in a very predictable and cliche way, with them scantily clad in ornamentation and staring blankly or with a glazed look in their eye that reflects the limited imagination of the artist, regardless of the artist's gender. I'm curious why not illustrate a man in the same position. I do not think this art is "anti-woman" because the women depicted are not women but some fantasized version of them that perpetuates sex stereotypes more so than redefine them.
agreed, kat! still, this piece is very well done!
^^ eh, i'd actually love to see a male version of this...
This is not artistic and highly offensive. Not sexy at all.
hot art!! ;)
love it
It is art, and it is sexy
wow these are gross
Gross-ly amazing.
Amazing if you have no respect for women and basically see them as sexual objects. I image a rapist would love this work.
Its a shame to have to come across images like that here. Revolting.
Its a shame to have to come across images like that here. Revolting.
....Because women aren't allowed to enjoy sucking on... popsicles??
I think this is great! Calm down on the judgement, please.
I think this is great! Calm down on the judgement, please.
She is crying....not enjoying it. The false sincerity is almost as revolting as the picture.
You gonna be like this GREAT ART to!!! ==> http://bit.ly/1pJ0n3r
You gonna be like this GREAT ART to!!! ==> http://bit.ly/1pJ0n3r
there's a different between crying, and tearing. If you gag your eyes will run uncontrollably It doesn't mean it isn't fun. Despite the rush and psychological fun when you gag your vagina contracts... just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable, and art fosters conversation. Well done.
cheers lucky.

Columbia, MO (Sports Network) - The Vanderbilt Commodores took advantage of a
banged up Missouri Tigers and rallied to a 19-15 victory at Faurot Field.
For the Commodores (2-3, 1-2), Jordan Rodgers threw for 180 yards and an
interception on 14-of-24 passing. Zac Stacy averaged just 2.5 yards per carry,
rushing for 72 yards on 29 touches, but added the only two touchdowns for the
Tigers' (3-3, 0-3 SEC) starting quarterback James Franklin completed 5-of-9
passes for 56 yards before leaving the game with a left knee sprain midway
through the first quarter. Freshman Corbin Berkstresser, who already has a win
under his belt after starting for an injured Franklin earlier in the year, was
unable to get into any sort of rhythm. He completed just 9-of-30 for 189 yards
and a touchdown. He also lost a fumble on his first drive of the game. Kendial
Lawrence ran for 92 yards on 21 rushes.
Missouri moved the ball well early on with Franklin but failed take full
advantage of two first quarter trips to the red zone. Andrew Baggett connected
on two field goal attempts from 31 and 28 yards away. Missouri led 6-0 near the
end of the first half when punter Trey Barrow fumbled a snap in the end zone,
causing the ball to trickle out of bounds for a Vanderbilt safety.
The Commodores gained just 18 total yards in the first quarter, and they were
only able to sustain one drive of more than four plays in the entire half.
That one drive did result in a touchdown run by Stacy which capped an 11-play,
82-yard drive, sending Vandy into halftime leading 9-6.
The Tigers' four second quarter possessions resulted in three punts and a
turnover on downs. Berkstresser was only able to complete four of his 14 first
half pass attempts. Both teams were 1-of-8 on third downs in the half.
The third quarter was reminiscent of the first half, as neither team was able
to assert themselves offensively. Missouri managed a field goal late in the
third period to tie the score at 9-9.
Stacy gave Vanderbilt the lead back early in the fourth frame when he ran for
his second touchdown of the game, this one from 14 yards out. Missouri struck
back quickly when Berkstresser, who had struggled mightily to this point, threw
an 85-yard touchdown pass to Bud Sasser. Unfortunately for the Tigers, their
extra point attempt was unsuccessful when T.J. Moe botched the snap and his
subsequent desperation pass attempt fell incomplete. Vanderbilt added a late
field goal and stopped Missouri on fourth down from the Commodores' 16-yard
line with 2:43 remaining in the game. Stacy managed to move the chains which
gave Vandy the ability to run out the clock.
The loss is Missouri's second at home already. They did not drop a single game
at Faurot Field in each of the past two seasons. Vanderbilt's win evens the
all-time series with the Tigers, 2-2-1.

ECU Chancellor Steve Ballard says the creation of a super conference involving Conference USA and the Mountain West would have many benefits for East Carolina University.
Ballard sees the merger as a positive thing that will make for a stronger conference and bring in more television revenue, which he says will ultimately benefit the universities involved. Ballard says while the teams will be spread across the country, they'll play in regional divisions, so travel won't be extensive.
The students we talked with Tuesday were positive about the new conference, including women's basketball player Katie Pashcal.
"I think it would be a great thing for us to join a new conference. I think it would give us the experience to play not better, but new teams than we've been playing and I think it would be a good change for us."
Ballard says the presidents and chancellors will have follow-up meetings over the next six months to fully develop the new conference's operational issues.
DALLAS, Texas - Presidents and chancellors from 16 universities, including East Carolina University, met Sunday to discuss future conference membership plans and agreed to work on forming a new intercollegiate athletics association that would begin competition in the 2013-14 academic year.
This presidentially-led association will ensure stability and be built upon the principles of operating at the highest level of integrity and sportsmanship, enhancing the student-athlete academic and competitive experience, bringing fiscal discipline into athletics, and ensuring competitive fairness.
"We are very encouraged by the teamwork and energy exhibited among all the presidents and chancellors involved in our recent discussions," ECU Chancellor Steve Ballard said. "I'm in strong support of the commitment of the new conference to the academic success of the student athlete."
In addition to East Carolina, universities involved in the discussions were the U.S. Air Force Academy, University of Alabama-Birmingham, Colorado State University, Fresno State, Tulane, University of Hawaii, Marshall University, University of Nevada-Reno, University of New Mexico, University of Nevada-Las Vegas, Rice University, University of Southern Mississippi, University of Texas-El Paso, University of Tulsa and University of Wyoming. With the exception of Hawaii as a football-only member, the participation would involve all sports.
"The statement from the Chancellors'/Presidents' (CEO's) meeting is encouraging and indicative that the merger is moving forward as expected," ECU Athletic Director Terry Holland said. "That is good news for all involved and we are looking forward to the continuing discussions."
The structure of the new conference will likely include:
•Membership of 18 to 24 universities
•National scope from the Atlantic Seaboard to Hawaii
•Championship football game format that includes semifinal match-ups
•Championship basketball tournament
•Regular season scheduling in divisions

Video: Bobby Cox helps raise funds for scholarships.
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. -- Bobby Cox is ticketed for the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Yet he still thinks about those in his own backyard who need him to go to bat for the right reasons.
The former Braves manager still keeps his hand in the game by consulting with GM Frank Wren and manager Fredi Gonzalez, but he also has time to work on projects like the Daniel Hager Memorial Endowment Fund.
The fund was established by Bobby's friends Kaye and Gerry Litzinger to honor the life of their son. When they told the longtime Braves field boss what they had in mind, they didn't even have to ask, he volunteered to round up celebrities for a golf tournament.
As former Falcon and Brave Brian Jordan said, when Bobby calls, you listen. Former Falcons quarterback and current board of director member Steve Bartkowski said "Bobby's one of my heroes; what he's done for the city is amazing".
Prior to the October 16th event at St. Ives in Johns Creek, the fund had helped 20 students from North Fulton, Forsyth and Eastern Cherokee Counties attend Georgia Tech. The West Lanier Georgia Tech Club awards the scholarships.

Media Advisory 05-021 Robotics Researchers Return to Examine Katrina Devastation With Small Unmanned Helicopters
Journalists are invited to join the study team from Dec. 2 to Dec. 4
The Like90 unmanned aerial vehicle that SSRRC team members will use in Miss.
Credit and Larger Version
November 22, 2005
Building upon an earlier search mission using helicopter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), engineering researchers from the University of South Florida (USF) are returning on Nov. 28 to the Mississippi Gulf Coast with their small, radio-controlled aircraft.
The researchers are accepting requests from accredited reporters who wish to join the team to examine damage to multi-story structures still vacant after Hurricane Katrina and to develop new techniques for using UAVs. The researchers will also be testing new optic and range sensors that may help the helicopters operate in the dark.
Robin Murphy, director of the USF Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue (CRASAR), will lead the team and coordinate media participation. Members of the media may embed with the CRASAR team from Dec. 2 through Dec. 4, although the team will stay only as long as necessary to complete their mission. B-roll is available from USF.
The research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in partnership with Jackson State University's National Center for Biodefense Communications and NSF's Safety Security Rescue Research Center, an Industry-University Cooperative Research Center.
Details of the mission, including visuals from the first search effort, can be found in the university press release linked below.

Biodiversity loss is one of the world's most pressing crises, and there is a growing global concern about the status of the biological resources on which so much of human life depends. It has been estimated that the current species extinction rate is between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than it would be naturally.
The Mediterranean is a mosaic of natural and cultural landscapes that has led to the evolution of remarkable species. The Mediterranean flora is outstanding, with between 15,000 and 25,000 species, 60% of which are unique to the region. Besides this great richness of plants, a high proportion of Mediterranean animals are also endemic.
However, this natural wealth is subject to heavy pressures, causing severe environmental degradation. Species are disappearing, important habitats are being lost or degraded, and both terrestrial and marine ecosystems are destabilized because of pollution, the over-exploitation of resources, invasive alien species, human disturbances, and the increasing impact of climate change.
Sound scientific information is critical for guiding decision-makers and ensuring the sustainable and wise use of natural resources.
The Mediterranean Species Programme
The Mediterranean Species Programme aims at:
- Encouraging the development and availability of scientific data on Mediterranean species;
- Promoting regional conservation tools, especially Red Lists or Actions Plans, that can guide conservation actions;
- Building capacity on species conservation and management in the region; and
- Supporting the work of regional IUCN members and networks, such as the Species Survival Commission.
The Mediterranean Species Programme collaborates with numerous individuals and organizations in order to achieve these goals. Amongst its main partners are the IUCN Species Survival Commission and IUCN Specialist Groups, Conservation International, the CI Centre for Applied Biodiversity Science, the Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS), the Barcelona Convention, BirdLife International, the Instituto Centrale per la Ricerca Applicata al Mare (ICRAM), the Turkish Marine Research Foundation (TUDAV), as well as several universities (Centro de Investigaçao em Biodiversidae e Recursos Genéticos da Universidade do Porto (CIBIO/UP), American University of Beirut, Université d'Annaba, etc...).

Judge Denies Bond for 4 Georgia Militia Members
Gainesville, GA (AP) - A federal judge on Wednesday denied bond
to the four Georgia militia men accused of plotting terror attacks
against government employees, siding with prosecutors who feared
the elderly men might lash out against federal officials because
they have nothing to lose.
U.S. Magistrate Susan Cole's ruling echoed concerns from federal
prosecutors who warned that releasing the men risked a deadly
standoff with federal agents who are forced to bring them to court.
"I can only imagine the arrests of these defendants have only
heightened their ill will against the government," Cole said after
a third day of federal hearings. "I'm concerned there would be
government officials and employees in harm's way."
Defense attorneys, who intend to appeal the judge's decision,
said the men never intended to live up to the boastful chatter and
that the charges accusing them of plotting to use guns, explosives
and the biological toxin ricin against federal employees are
Frederick Thomas, 73, and Dan Roberts, 67, are accused of
conspiring to obtain an explosive and possessing an unregistered
silencer. Ray Adams, 55, and Samuel Crump, 68, are charged with
conspiring and attempting to make ricin.
The four men were arrested in early November after at least seven months of surveillance by an undercover informant who infiltrated their meetings at a Waffle House, homes and car rides. The dozens of hours of recordings the informant made are the linchpin to the government's case against the four.
In the tapes, the four allegedly boasted of a list of government officials who needed to be "taken out;" talked about scattering ricin from a car speeding down a highway past major U.S. cities; and scouted tax offices. One man said, "We'd have to blow the whole building like Timothy McVeigh," a reference to the man executed for bombing a federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995, killing 168 people.
Defense attorneys said the conversations were taken out of context and that the men were actually planning to unite various militia groups across Georgia to create a legitimate "governor's army" that would be at the state's disposal.
"It's all a hypothetical," said Jeff Ertel, who represents Thomas, the suspected leader of the plot. "This is not a plan to take action now. This is a plan to take action if we are legitimized and if the government calls us into action."
But assistant U.S. Attorney Robert McBurney said the men took a
series of concrete steps toward carrying out a violent plot.
He said the men cased two federal buildings in Atlanta, talked
of targeting U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, obtained an illegal
silencer, amassed small arsenals of weapons, tried to purchase a
briefcase-sized explosive from an undercover agent and attempted to
make ricin from castor beans.
"We've moved beyond hypotheticals," he said.
McBurney warned that releasing the men risks giving them exactly
what they want: A galvanizing standoff with federal agents whom
they could portray as "jackbooted thugs taking action against elderly patriots."
The four played very different roles in the plot, according to court testimony. Thomas was described as the "thought leader" who
helped host meetings and recruit new members. He is accused of
scouting the two federal buildings with the informant and leading
the effort, along with Roberts, to get an illegal silencer and buy
explosives from an undercover agent.
Prosecutors said the men brought Crump and Adams into the mix
after Roberts talked of obtaining a "silent killer" -- the toxin ricin, which can be lethal in small doses. Crump had memorized the recipe for the poison, prosecutors said, and Adams had the know-how to make it as a former government lab technician.
Defense attorneys, though, heaped scorn on the informant, who
recorded the conversations while on bond on South Carolina charges
that he sexually abused two girls and had child pornography. They
called him an "instigator" and a "scoundrel" and questioned why
he's free while their clients are facing stiff penalties.
And they claimed prosecutors were making too much of idle chatter from elderly men complaining at gatherings in local restaurants and at each other's homes.
"The government doesn't have a strong case. Surely there was talk about ricin, but it was ridiculous," said Dan Summer, who represents Crump. "It was like an old man in the stages of senility talking out of the side of his mouth."
Witnesses called over three days of hearings said the men were
loyal to the government and often gave back to the community.
Roberts, for instance, had an animal shelter at his home with 20
dogs and 30 cats. And Melissa Adams said her father spent many
holidays playing Santa Claus for children.
"He may be intimidating at times, but on the inside he's just a teddy bear," she said of her dad, a big man with a busy beard. "He has his disgruntles just like the rest of the country, with the economy, but that's all they were -- small disgruntles."
Lawyer: Men Accused in Militia Plot Had No Plans
Gainesville, GA (AP) - Prosecutors have described a group of
four Georgia militia members as a dangerous cabal plotting to
unleash an arsenal of weapons and poison on the federal government.
Their attorneys described them Tuesday as a bunch of ailing old men
shooting the breeze with no specific plans and targeted by an
informant with a checkered past.
Troubling recordings of the men talking were played in federal
court Tuesday at their bond hearing. One told the others they need
to "do whatever it takes" and another declared: "The first ones
that need to die are the ones in the government buildings."
Their attorneys said the recordings showed the men exercising
their constitutional rights to arm themselves and express their
political views. They said comments about the alleged plot that
were taken out of context, and attacked the credibility of the
undercover informant who recorded them.
Frederick Thomas, 73, and Dan Roberts, 67, are accused of
conspiring to obtain an explosive and possessing an unregistered
silencer. Ray Adams, 55, and Samuel Crump, 68, are charged with
conspiring and attempting to make ricin, a deadly biological toxin.
Thomas' defense attorney, Jeff Ertel, said the group was
planning to unite the various militia factions in Georgia into a
"governor's army" to serve the state. An FBI agent testified they
planned to reach new members at militia gatherings and through
courses in First Aid and gardening.
But prosecutors said the men took a series of concrete steps
toward carrying out a violent plot. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert
McBurney said the men cased two federal buildings in Atlanta,
obtained an illegal silencer, tried to purchase a briefcase-sized
explosive from an undercover agent and attempted to make ricin from
castor beans.
He also said that Thomas, described as the ringleader, talked of
targeting U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and former U.S. Rep.
Cynthia McKinney. And he said Thomas had stockpiled a small arsenal of weapons -- 52 guns and 30,000 rounds of ammunition -- at his home in the Georgia mountains.
Ertel used part of Tuesday's hearing to attack the credibility of the confidential informant who recorded the conversations. He said the informant has had a series of legal troubles, including two recent charges in South Carolina of child pornography and child molestation that involved a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old. Those charges are still pending, but the informant was released from jail on bond.
The prosecutor said the informant first contacted FBI agents in
July 2010 and that authorities are confident in his credibility because his statements were corroborated by other sources and by the audio recordings. He played several recordings, including one clip of Thomas speaking of targeting "enemies of the Constitution" with weapons and explosives.
He also played aloud another tape where Thomas talked of attacking "civilian government operatives" with the FBI and other government agencies. Roberts was heard telling the group to "do whatever it takes" and Adams said on the tape: "The first ones that need to die are the ones in the government buildings."
Some family members of the suspects quietly shook their heads as
the tapes played Tuesday.
The four allegedly boasted of a list of government officials who
needed to be "taken out;" talked about scattering ricin from a plane or a car speeding down a highway past major U.S. cities; and scouted tax offices, with one man saying, "We'd have to blow the whole building like Timothy McVeigh," a reference to the man executed for bombing a federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995.
Federal investigators said they had the men under surveillance
for at least seven months, using an undercover informant to
infiltrate their meetings at a Waffle House, homes and other
places, before finally arresting them in early November. The
arrests came in early November, just days after authorities
discovered evidence they were trying to extract ricin from castor
beans at Adams' home.
At the hearing, attorneys for the four men gave a glimpse into their defense strategies.
Thomas' lawyer suggested his client, a great-grandfather who
suffers from a long list of illnesses, was too old and infirm to carry out the plot. Roberts' attorney contended he was a "bump on the log" who didn't intend to carry out any attacks. Barry Lombardo, who represents Adams, said the only proof against his client is a few "harmless" castor bean plants.
And Crump's attorney, Dan Summer, said prosecutors only had a
few muffled recordings as evidence his client was trying to make a
bioterror weapon. He said Crump was only being boastful, and would
never have actually tried to make the toxin.
"Mr. Crump was puffing, bragging," said Summer. "Isn't that what he was doing, talking smack?"
Relatives of the men have repeatedly said they were patriotic,
law-abiding citizens who were just making idle chatter, and even
some federal investigators privately refer to them as "The Gang
Who Couldn't Shoot Straight."
Some details from the hearing even elicited stifled grins from
the crowd, such as when investigators said Thomas got lost on his
way to Atlanta and refused to use his GPS for fear of being tracked
by the government.
But authorities said the charges are no laughing matter. McBurney said investigators grew particularly alarmed when they discovered that Adams and Crump managed to get a bucket of castor beans, which later tested positive for ricin. The men were arrested a day after the discovery.
"Prior to that there had been a lot of talk," Korneski said. "Once we determined they had the main ingredient, it significantly increased our concern."
4 Georgia Militia Suspects Plead Not Guilty
Atlanta, GA (AP) - Four suspected members of a Georgia militia
charged with plotting attacks with toxins and explosives against
government officials have pleaded not guilty to charges against
The four men appeared at a bond hearing at a Gainesville federal
courthouse on Wednesday. Prosecutors say the men talked of
assassinating U.S. Attorney General and former U.S. Rep. Cynthia
McKinney, among others.
Prosecutors have accused 73-year-old Frederick Thomas and
67-year-old Dan Roberts of conspiring to obtain an explosive and
possessing an unregistered silencer.
Authorities also charged 55-year-old Ray Adams and 68-year-old
Samuel Crump with conspiring and attempting to make ricin, a
biological toxin that can be lethal in small doses.
If convicted, the men could face more than a decade in prison.
Attorneys and relatives of the men say the charges are baseless.

I always find the birth of gambling in WV to be very odd. It was on the statewide ballot numerous times and it never passed. Pro gamblers try to mobilize us by doing the Obama style hate thing, its the bible thumpers in the south that are voting it down. But it still never passed. So one day the rodents who run WV decided that the Gov should just say, well heck we don't need to have that on the ballot, its just a logical extension of the powerball lottery. Shucks, we gots us some casinos. But casinos are a private business, not a state lottery and the money goes to companies not the public coffers. And there is a small army of bureaucrats and "regulators" for those industries and many have the same names as their bosses. Its so WV. If we don't vote the right way, they will just do it anyhow. The casino wave has flattened out and its harder for the regulators to make a buck. There are whole families of state bureaucrats at risk here, looking the other way is at risk.

And the usual add on by Myers and his minions to have pity for the beautifully run, Wheeling Island. See the news differently and ask yourselves why the Wheeling Island pity party continues yet again in an article about a merger between 2 other companies.

I am not against gambling. I do very little myself. I find it interesting that the states locked up and prosecuted many people for the same thing in the past. Fined them..took their property and now the state does it. You know a lot of the older gangsters made their children go to college and earn law degrees. A lot of them are now senators and congressmen. Still doing the same thing only being above the law now.

A "premium" cash price of 11% over today's close for less than 20% of all outstanding shares?
The NR did not do its' homework. Following the merger, Eldorado's current shareholders will wind up owning 35.6 million shares, or 55% of the new company, at a valuation of $5.15 per share.
The new company will thus have a market cap of about $333 million.
MTR's current cap is $128.45 million and Eldorado is a private company so we don't know what their situation is.

Royals help open Holiday Shop at Johnson County Christmas Bureau
Last Friday, the Royals were on hand as the Johnson County Christmas Bureau opened their annual Holiday Shop. The JCCB is a volunteer, non-profit organization that serves nearly 2,600 low-income families each year. Third baseman Alex Gordon and his wife Jamie joined a team of Royals associates, led by Kevin Uhlich, Senior Vice President of Business Operations.
Associates were matched with shoppers, who picked out clothing, food and holiday gifts. Coats donated to the Royals Coat Drive in September were among the items distributed.
Uhlich assisted shoppers in the personal care section while Alex and Jamie helped in the toys section. Bicycles were a popular item and we spotted Alex rolling (and riding) bikes out to the shopper's cars. He was asked to autograph a few of the new wheels.
Check back later for pictures of Gordon's Saturday community visit in Overland Park.

Fukuoka : Michelin's recommendations
Fukuoka, to the north of Kyushu island, is a dynamic city. It has its sights firmly set on the future, as illustrated by the ultra-modern architecture in the Momochi district and an economy based on new technologies… as well as the fantastic Asian Art Museum. But the city has a 2 000 year history that has been deeply influenced by its proximity to China and Korea. Its old town is still intact, and the shops are now concentrated there. To sample the lively atmosphere around the yatai (food stalls), head to the banks of the Naka River that crosses Fukuoka.

What is an emergent process?
David Gómez 270000KTWU email@example.com | | Tags:  case management acm advanced bpm ecm. | 1 Comments | 3,563 Visits
I was struggling with what is the difference between business process management (BPM) and advanced case management (ACM). Then while reading a book called Mastering the Unpredictable (Swenson 2010) and looking at some internal presentations on the subject the picture crystallized for me. It came down to an emergent process.
This is my attempt at helping it be the same for you. Let's see where BPM and ACM are similar. They both have a goal of increasing efficiency and meeting customers' needs. They both also have workflows or processes as part of them. They also both have roles filled by knowledge workers or experts. ACM and BPM also have information or data as part of them. Both ACM and BPM benefit from visibility into them along with history, analytics, integration, and communication. Well, if you look at these things together they both create a compelling reason to use either one. Well, if they are so similar then what's the difference? I mean really is ACM the next evolution of BPM? I say it is if you get past the initial similarities since they go about achieving those goals in very different ways due to the role of the knowledge worker, information, and workflow in each.
First, let's look at what types of processes a business process management system (BPMS) is focused on. Process or workflow is king in this system. This means defining a process, putting it into production, and going back to see how you can optimize this or automate steps. Everything feeds into this. Information or data feeds the process. Knowledge workers participate at pre-defined steps in the process. So, simply put once again, workflow is king here.
Now, let's see what an emergent process is and how it differs from a pre-defined process. This is a process that unfolds or emerges as information or understanding is discovered. So, a knowledge worker sees an initial set of data or information. Based on this information, he or she will determine what other experts need to be involved and what workflow(s) need to be invoked. It is not a static process. This means that as things are discovered or emerge other experts and workflows may need to be used. Therefore, the process emerges or is emergent. Here we have an emergent process. And as is shown here information or data is the king in ACM.
So, now to that famous radio station WIIFM (What's In It For Me?). Well, if you have had the dubious honor of having been a victim of fraud or been rejected a claim an emergent process as part of case management would have benefited you. Based on your information or the specifics of your case, workflows and experts would have been called upon and may have altered based on what was discovered as new knowledge or information emerged.
We've discussed what the difference is between BPM and ACM. We've also discussed what an emergent process is. Now, where do we go from here? Well, a solution bringing together this notion and creating a template based offering leveraging analytics to optimize case resolution is what is called for. The challenge has been that BPMS based solutions have not had the focus of information or data being the king as is the case of an ACM based solution.
Until next time,
Your friendly neighborhood ECM guy

Singer Ozzy Osbourne has been tapped to voice a character in children's animated show "Bubble Guppies."
The Black Sabbath frontman will guest star as Sid Fishy, "a rock and roll fish who loves being rotten," on the popular Nickelodeon series.
Osbourne explains he was keen to take on the role because of his granddaughter Pearl.
He says, "She has Nick Jr. on 24/7 (all day). I can't wait to see her reaction when she hears my voice come from Sid Fishy's mouth."
The 65-year-old's first episode will premiere next year.
He's not the only member of the Osbourne family to find success as a kids TV character – Ozzy's wife Sharon voices Captain Hook's mother in "Jake & the Never Land Pirates."

DALLAS, Texas -- A hearing is scheduled for Monday to determine the fate of a 1959 Masters green jacket that was slated for auction.
In late February, Dallas County District Judge Emily Tobolowsky temporarily halted Heritage Auctions' planned sale of the jacket.
Augusta National Golf Club has sued Heritage to have the auction stopped, claiming that the jacket had been stolen by former employees and that it, like every other Masters jacket in existence, rightfully belonged to the club.
RELATED | How recent Masters have been won
Dr. Stephen Pyles, a Florida doctor who in 2012 anonymously purchased the jacket from a New Jersey auction house for $61,000, has filed documents that he, not Augusta, has rightful claim to the jacket.
Pyles, represented by Dallas attorney Mark Senter, says that Augusta made no objection when the jacket was auctioned last April, nor did club representatives return numerous phone calls in advance of that sale.
Pyles says not is the jacket his to sell, he also wants damages since Augusta's lawsuit "may taint the jacket's reputation" and eat into the $90,000 he was expected to fetch last week.

Our lucky day: So we found more gratuitous shirtless shots - this time of Andy Roddick, who dropped his cute Lacoste tennis duds for a practice session during the Kooyong Classic.
The defending champion reached the final today by easily defeating another shirtless wonder, Russia's Marat Safin 6-3, 6-3.

Ugh! There's no accounting for taste I suppose. It's really difficult to decide which of the two Andys - Roddick or Murray looks the worst without his shirt! (They also tie IMO for the most grubby looking sartorially challenged ATP player when they have their shirts on.)They really don't come up to the high standards of the real heart-throbs like Safin, Nadal and Willy Cañas...ReplyDelete
we can't argue with that either candida - we just enjoy looking at athletic boys in general, but shirtless certainly helpsReplyDelete

Hi Folks,
I am importing some messages from a MailDir archive. I am using the command:
Several are in excess of 100 megs, and I am getting an error message UPLOAD_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED. I have set upload size and max message size to 64 MB, which is admittedly not sufficient for these message, but when I set it to 128 MB, MTA went on strike until I set it back to 64MB. How do I relax this limit without upsetting Zimbra? Is there a command line way to do this? Config File? Is there a command line way to examine these limits?Code:
echo addMessage /old-mail /home/cjm/Maildir | zmmailbox -z -m <email address>
That's a lot of questions, but they are all related and I suspect anyone who can answer one can answer all.
Thanks for the help,

Look of the Week: SF Ballet Presents Giselle
The window displays around Union Square are all a flutter with fancy tutus and pretty pink pointe shoes, circling buzz for the SF Ballet's 2011 Season, opening with Giselle this Saturday evening.
The ballet is a classic place to see and be seen in SF. With that in mind, we're channeling our inner Gisele, and thinking long, lean and elegant.

Well, I feel ready for a new challenge. You've got an email!
I need an un-labelled world map made for a Dark Fantasy Campaign.
Aiming for a dark and gritty look, the following is a good example http://www.cartographersguild.com/at...5&d=1268506199
The premise of the world is that, it is threatened by volcanoes, dying crops and a perpetual diabolical mist which covers much of the low-lands... So the 'dark' look is rather important in order to capture the 'hopeless' feeling felt by the people (I know sounds like a lovely place, right?)
-Here are some example Geographics I am looking for: A pair of twin seas clearly separating the East and West. The West would extend towards the north but not the East (so only one arctic culture). The East would compromise mostly of a large desert with the southern tip extending into some Greenlands and a jungle. The West would have to be distinguishable between four nations, either separated by mountains or other natural barriers. a large island either south or east of the dessert ... Lots of mountain ranges, few wooded areas... but we can discuss details like this over email...
-Its a working project, so I am easy on time constraints.
-It does not need to be copyright to my name, its for personal use only, and will be distributed amongst friends (so you get all the credit).
-Willing to negotiate a price if required.
You can reach me at email@example.com
Well, I feel ready for a new challenge. You've got an email!

If you missed the Pulse Opening session you missed a movie, a play, results from the 2008 CEO Survey with some insights of future industry trends, and some powerful inspiration . . . here is the recap:
Over 4000 experienced the excitement of unlocking innovation with the Visibility, Control, and Automation of IBM Service Management at the Pulse Opening Session! Al Zollar opened the session with a mini movie about Tivoli. After the movie, Al introduced Steve Mills who took the stage to provide insight on how only IBM can provide short and long term solutions with the breadth and depth of the unmatched IBM portfolio of solutions. Then Al Zollar took the stage again to address the industrialization of IT, explaining how IBM Service Management helps ensure cost effective, quality service delivery that is business aligned and environmentally aware. Then Chris OConnor took the stage to moderate to moderate the Demonstration of Values, the story of fictitious corporation VCA Bike and Motorcycle that demonstrated how Tivoli can help businesses utilize existing resources to overcome business challenges in a tough market, launch new products on time within budget. Liz Smith then shared results from the 2008 CEO Survey, which collected input from over 1000 CEOs and Public Sector leaders worldwide to find out what they see as next major business impacts are and how that affects the enterprise of the future. Liz then introduced and explained the five entry points to Service Management: Discover, Monitor, Protect, Industrialize and Integrate.
Concluding Day One General Session was Lance Armstrong, seven-time winner of the Tour de France, but perhaps even more widely known as an individual dedicated to helping researchers cure cancer, inspiring all of us to have the courage to rise above lifes challenges. Lance candidly shared his personal story of how he discovered that cancer was the best thing that ever happened to him in showing him that his life would only get better. And did it ever get better! Following his record-breaking athletic career, Lance redirected his passion for his work in becoming a leader and activist on behalf of cancer survivors around the world. Inspiring more than 50 million people across the globe to wear the yellow LiveStrong wristbands in support of people living with cancer, even more to volunteer in our own communities to affect positive change in the world.

SSA Marine's Oakland International Container Terminal will make appointments mandatory for the majority of containerized import pick-ups in order to shorten lines at terminal gates and speed up cargo delivery to customers.
The company plans to accept the weights that clients provide as certified, but if clients are not able to provide the certified weight, it will weigh the cargo on their behalf.

The proposed alliance would become a dominant player in the three major east-west trades, beating out total capacity currently offered by the 2M Alliance on those trade lanes, according to an analysis from BlueWater Reporting.
The proposed ocean carrier alliance will include Hapag-Lloyd of Germany; Japan's MOL, NYK and "K" Line; Taiwan-based Yang Ming; and South Korean line Hanjin, and could potentially add Dubai-based UASC and Korea's HMM down the road.
Consolidation in the ocean shipping industry is causing drastic changes to the current carrier vessel sharing agreements, but how will it all play out? American Shipper CEO Hayes Howard discusses some of the possible alliance scenarios.

Actor Paul Walker died from traumatic and thermal injuries during a car crash in California on Saturday.
The "Fast & Furious" star perished when the driver of a Porsche Carrera GT he was a passenger in lost control of the vehicle and crashed in to a lamp post and a tree in Valencia, California.
The sportscar then burst into flames.
Walker and the driver, the actor's friend and business partner Roger Rodas, died at the scene.
Autopsy results were released on Wednesday and it has been revealed that the two men could only be identified by their dental records.
Both deaths have been listed as accidental by the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office.
Toxicology reports will be released in six to eight weeks.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Universal Pictures has shut down production of action sequel "Fast & Furious 7" to consider its options for the franchise following the death of actor Paul Walker, the studio said on Wednesday.
"At this time we feel it is our responsibility to shut down production on 'Fast & Furious 7' for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise," Universal Pictures, a unit of Comcast Corp, said in a statement.

Associated Press Release
February 2, 2013
Texas Gov. Rick Perry says he hopes the Boy Scouts of America doesn't soften its mandatory no-gays membership policy.
The Republican addressed an annual gathering of Scouts from around Texas on Saturday. Asked about the policy afterward, he said "I think most people see absolutely no reason to change" it.
Perry is an Eagle Scout and in his 2008 book "On My Honor" he details his love for the Scouts and why the group should continue to embrace conservative values. Profits from the went to the Boy Scouts of America Legal Defense, because Perry wrote: "they continue to be under attack from the forces of secularism."
The Boy Scouts reaffirmed the no-gays policy seven months ago. But the group now says it may allow different religious and civic groups sponsoring Scout units to each decide how to address the issue.
