- Summary
When people think of bankruptcy, they typically think in terms of "Chapter 7" personal bankruptcy. Under this form of bankruptcy, most of a bankrupt person's debts are cancelled, but the bankrupt person may have to surrender items of property.
Qualifying for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Relief
Under amendments to bankruptcy law, effective October, 2005, a two-part test is applied to determine if a debtor qualifies for Chapter 7 bankruptcy:
1. Determination of Ability to Repay - The debtor's income is examined under a formula which exempts certain necessary expenses, such as food and rent, to determine if the debtor will be able to repay 25% of his or her "nonpriority unsecured debt".
2. Comparison to State Median Income - The debtor's income is compared to the median state income.
If the debtor earns in excess of the state median income, and is able to repay 25% of his or her "nonpriority unsecured debt", the debtor will be ineligible for Chapter 7 protection and must proceed under Chapter 13.
Debtors must also meet with a credit counselor at some point during the six months prior to applying for bankruptcy, and must attend money management classes at their own expense before a discharge will be issued.
The Automatic Stay
Once a debtor files for bankruptcy, the debtor's estate is protected by the "automatic stay", which bars creditors from trying to collect debts without the permission of the bankruptcy court. This provides immediate protection against foreclosure, repossession of your car, eviction from your apartment, garnishment of your wages or bank accounts, cut off your electricity, or other measures creditors may take to try to recover monies owed. Please note that although the stay may prevent your eviction, any new obligations you incur will be payable to your creditors. That is, if you continue to rent an apartment, although a rent arrearage may be subject to discharge, if you do not pay rent accrued after the date you filed for bankruptcy the court may permit your eviction.
The Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Process
In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a trustee is appointed by the bankruptcy court. The primary responsibility of a trustee is to ensure that your creditors are paid as much as possible of what you owe to them. The more of your assets the trustee is able to recover for your creditors, the more the trustee is paid.
The bankruptcy trustee will review the papers that the debtor has filed with the bankruptcy court. The trustee will ask the debtor questions about his assets and obligations at a short hearing, called a"creditors' meeting," which the debtor is required to attend. In most cases, the creditors' meeting is resolved in about five minutes. Although creditors are entitled to attend the meeting, they rarely exercise that option.
The trustee categorizes the debtor's property as "exempt" or "non-exempt", in accord with legal definitions and the dollar limits which apply to various types of exempt property. Once this categorization process is complete, following the creditors' meeting, the trustee will collect the debtor's nonexempt property. The non-exempt property is then sold or liquidated, with the proceeds used to pay off the debtor's unsecured creditors.
A creditor is considered to be a "secured creditor" if the financial obligation to the creditor is protected by a "security interest" in the debtor's property. A "security interest" is sometimes referred to as "collateral" for the loan. For example, a car loan is ordinarily secured by the car, and the existence of the loan is reflected on the car title. The property which secures a loan is exempt from Chapter 7 bankruptcy, although the debtor must continue to make any payments due. If the debtor misses payments, the secured creditor may seek to foreclose upon or repossess the property that secures the debt.
An "unsecured creditor" is a creditor who does not have a security interest in any of the debtor's property. The most common unsecured debt is the outstanding balance owed on a credit card.
Once the trustee has exhausted the funds obtained from liquidating the debtor's non-exempt property, most remaining unsecured debts are discharged.
The Chapter 7 bankruptcy process typically takes four to six months to complete.
Non-Dischargeable Debts
Some debts are not ordinarily dischargeable in bankruptcy, or can be discharged only under very extraordinary circumstances. Examples of debts which cannot ordinarily be dischared in bankruptcy include child support obligations, student loans, taxes, and damage awards resulting from intentional wrongful acts or intoxication.
Certain debts incurred within sixty days of a bankruptcy petition, such as debts associated with the purchase of luxury goods or cash advances, will not ordinarily be dischargeable.
Considerations in Liquidating Non-Exempt Property
In some circumstances, although certain items of property are not exempt, the cost of liquidating the property may exceed its value. As a result, the trustee may allow the debtor to keep certain items of non-exempt property which have little market value, in which case they are deemed "abandoned" back to the debtor, or the trustee may permit the debtor to purchase the items from the estate.
Similarly, where part of an item of property is exempt, but part is non-exempt, the trustee may elect to approach the debtor to purchase the non-exempt portion of the asset. In the alternative, the property may be sold with the value of the exempt portion paid to the debtor.
Fraudulent Transfers
Some debtors believe that if they attempt to hide their assets, or transfer them to friends or relatives in advance of filing for bankruptcy, they will be able to protect or hide those assets from the bankruptcy process. This is a dangerous assumption, which can subject the debtor to the discharge of a bankruptcy petition and, in some cases, to criminal prosecution
Dismissal of a Bankruptcy Petition
During the course of a bankruptcy, a debtor may ask a court to dismiss the case. If the court finds that dismissal will not harm the creditors, ordinarily a court will grant a petition to dismiss a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Choosing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Once a debtor has examined the various factors affecting whether filing for bankrupcy is appropriate, the debtor will typically choose between a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. A debtor may prefer to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition if:
The debtor wishes to resolve certain debts which may not be discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy;
The debtor wishes to protect certain cosigners on personal loans from being pursued by creditors for repayment;
The debtor wishes to maintain ownership of certain valuable non-exempt property;
The debtor will not be able to keep up with payments on certain items of property, such as a car, while the bankruptcy is pending;
The debtor feels otherwise obligated to repay certain debts (e.g., a moral obligation);
The debtor believes that future creditors will look more favorably on a Chapter 13 reorganization than a Chapter 7 discharge.
A debtor may be required to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy if:
The debtor has received a Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge within the prior six years, or obtained a Chapter 13 bankruptcy discharge within the prior six years and and has not paid off at least 70% of the unsecured debts under that bankruptcy.
The debtor was subject to the discharge of a prior Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing within the prior 180 days because the debtor violated a court order, or requested dismissal after a creditor sought relief from the automatic stay.
Conversion of a Bankruptcy Petition
Some debtors discover after filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition that they would be better served by pursuing relief under Chapter 13. For example, certain tax debts which are not dischargeable under Chapter 7 may be included in a Chapter 13 repayment plan. If the debtor has not previously converted a Chapter 7 bankruptcy to a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and the debtor's estate qualifies for Chapter 13 relief, upon filing an appropriate motion with the bankruptcy court the debtor has an absolute right to conver the petition to a Chapter 13 filing. Where a court approves the motion for conversion, the debtor must file a Chapter 13 repayment plan within fifteen days.
The Effect of Bankruptcy
After a debtor files for bankruptcy, until the case is resolved, the debtor's property, assets, and debts will be subject to the control of the bankruptcy court. Subject to a few exceptions, the debtor will be restricted from most financial actions, including the sale of property or the making of payments, without first obtaining permission from the bankruptcy court.
After the completion of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a debtor may not again file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition for six years from the date of filing.
In a "Chapter 7" bankruptcy:
A trustee is appointed to oversee your property;
Some of your assets will likely be surrendered to the trustee, who will sell them to pay your creditors;
Depending upon the laws of your state, you will be allowed to keep some personal property, and probably an interest in your home (although perhaps not all of your equity).
Most debts are cancelled.
You will most likely be unable to file a "Chapter 7" bankruptcy if you have filed and dismissed a "Chapter 7" petition in the last 180 days, or if you were granted or denied a "Chapter 7" discharge in a prior case within the past six years. If you believe those exclusions apply to you, you should discuss your case with an attorney as you may qualify for an exception.

Artist Details
It's become pretty well known and by now, and indeed is often remarked upon, that Brighton, England-based Will Holland works damn hard. Works damn hard, has put a lot of records out, and is still damn young. Of course, when you really consider that for someone in their mid twenties to be, in 2006, releasing what is essentially their 8th album, and racking up nearing 30 remixes since his first release in 2002, then that is quite astonishing.
We all know though, that quantity does not equal quality, so what really astonishes is the fact that every single release is a winner. Every single release is worth your time and sees him trying something different, exploring sound, and translating his own huge thirst for new sound into his own work.
There isn't a musical genre out there thats related to the hearts of funk and soul that he hasn't turned his hand to, and yet at the same time he his one of the few producers around that always sounds like himself.
Whether it's under his original Quantic moniker or as the live rocking funk soul heaviness of The Quantic Soul Orchestra you can spot a Quantic production a mile off, even if it doesn't sound like anything you've heard him do before.
At 26 years old, Will Holland has established himself as one of the most talented, prolific & active artists in the DJ community today. Recording under various guises Will first found acclaim as Quantic, fusing jazz sensibility with dance floor orientated grooves and intelligent breaks. Exploring the worlds of jazz and deep funk his second project, the Quantic Soul Orchestra, is a live affair. A group of highly talented players, the Q.S.O. pays homage to the funk explosion of the early Seventies, and to the dusty 7" records that have always been an inspiration to Will. As well as Quantic and the Q.S.O Will is one half of The Limp Twins, a duo he formed with Russ Porter. Initially a deejay partnership, it wasn't long before they started recording, with Russ taking on the vocal duties and Will adding the magic with his savvy production. He has enjoyed consistent success with his Quantic moniker. Releasing his first album "The 5th Exotic" in the summer of 2001, it was picked up on by some of the most respected names in underground music. Gilles Peterson, Richard Dorfmeister, Mr Scruff and LTJ Bukem all rated it very highly, not surprising when tunes like 'Common Knowledge' and the near classic 'Life in the Rain' had blazed across dance floors all over Europe. With elements of Jazz, Funk and Afro blended with tight breaks and Will's distinctive production "The 5th Exotic" proved irresistible to many, and won him many plaudits.
He built on this acclaim with the release of "Apricot Morning" less than a year later, dispelling any talk of "the difficult second album". His sound seemed to expand in every direction on "Apricot Morning" collaborating with the incredible Alice Russell, MC EQ and Bristol's freshest hip hop crew Aspects. "Apricot Morning" is a perfect snapshot of everything that's happening at the jazzier end of underground music in 2002, as proved by Gilles Peterson who ranked it amongst his albums of the year. His third Quantic album, "Mishaps Happening" was released in 2004 and marked the first of Will's albums to receive a proper North American release via California's Ubiquity Records, a relationship which has also seen Tru Thoughts' artists Nostalgia 77 & The Bamboos getting domestic releases through the two label's now two year old partnership.
The Quantic Soul Orchestra's debut album 'Stampede' was unleashed in April 2003, a strictly sample free, all-live affair influenced by super heavy original funk, soul, jazz and afro-beat. The band consists of highly talented musicians and features the sublime vocals of Alice Russell and John Hughes. Accredited with sheer, raw energy of their live sets, do not miss a chance to see the band perform live.
It's a talent that has seen him work with some of the finest names around. Remixing Charlie Parker and Breakestra, collaborating with Sharon Jones and Mr. Scruff, sharing a live stage with De La Soul, to producing and writing with Spanky Wilson, Quantic's is a talent that is admired by producers, vocalists, and musicians of all the ages. And naturally, clubbers around the world have felt the Quantic pressure too.
From the festival stages of The Big Chill, Glastonbury, and Roskilde, super smooth clubs in Europe and Japan, hard core roadtrips around the USA and Australia, tiny Muscovite basement sessions and Puerto Rican Candela sweat boxes, where there's the music love Quantic will go. Literally, where there's a Will, there's a way.

Goldman Sachs Unimpressed By Street Art Campaign
The firm gives "Gold in Sacks," stickers "a failing grade for originality," but we think they're kind of cool.
Late this spring, at the peak of Goldman Sachs-hating hysteria, stickers that parodied the bank's logo—with the words "Gold In Sacks," in place of the name of the wealthy, influential, and perceived to be dastardly bank—began appearing on mailboxes, walls, and wherever else viral stickers can be stuck. The stickering campaign seemed largely to be confined to New York, although one Flickrer snapped a picture as far away as Chicago. Unable to find the person behind the stickering campaign, Daily Intel reached out to Goldman Sachs, assuming that with their vast resources, government connections, and notorious penchant for exploiting every opportunity to make a buck, the bank would already have their squid tentacles wrapped around the perpetrator, or at least and have fired off a cease-and-desist letter, like they did last year to the founder of the website GoldmanSachs666.com. Surprisingly, they had not. "We're not planning on taking any action," Goldman spokesman Lucas van Praag told Daily Intel. "Although I think whoever is producing it gets a failing grade for originality." The photos taken by various tourists and New Yorkers in our slideshow are pretty cool-looking, however.

Barnsley has lost out to Huddersfield as the location for a golden postbox to mark Ed Clancy winning gold at the London Olympic Games.
Royal Mail has said for every Team GB gold medal won at this year's Olympic and Paralympic Games, it will paint one of its red postboxes gold in the 'home town' of the winning athlete.
Endurance cyclist Ed Clancy, 27, won gold in the cycling men's team pursuit. He was born in Barnsley, near Penistone, and went to Springvale Primary School before moving to Huddersfield.
But Royal Mail has chosen to paint a Huddersfield postbox golden, on Railway Street, to mark his medal haul.
When asked why Barnsley was snubbed as a location, a spokesman for Royal Mail said postboxes were chosen 'based on a range of potential sites'.
He added: "This could be where they were born, where they grew up or where they presently live and we look at all these factors before reaching a considered choice."
But he was born in Barnsley first what they should have done in this situation is asked Clancy wer he wanted it :) well done on gold Clancy so proud x
Born in Barnsley ,lived in Huddersfield obviously after school now lives in St Helen's ??? Surely the post box goes to Barnsley they do call him Ed the red after all ...

Many thanks Tom for the information. Time now is Wednesday 131845 UTC. I just checked all my sources and the launch is still on schedule. A complete set of backup up antennas have been sent to the Satellite Amateur Radio Club on Vandenberg via a trailer with mast and rotors in place. I will be bringing a set of backup amateur radio VHF/UHF equipment as well as FM equipment on 145.825. At this point in time it appears that we will be just too busy to attend to the FO-29 pass mentioned a few days ago, but we are equipped to do so. There appears to be other real time paths to alert all of us as well as my concern NOT to cause QRM of any kind from the launch site. One fellow voluteered to place a notice on this BBS. We will try a low power two meter transmission to get this information to you. 73 Cliff K7RR On Tue, 12 Jan 1999, Tom Clark -- W3IWI wrote: > > I just verified that (as of ~20:00 UT) the launch is Friday AM. > The answering machine with the info is 407-867-6358 and if you > need to speak to a warm body, try 805-734-8232 x53001.

(Wichita, Kansas) An outspoken opponent of gay rights was arrested Sunday as he led a protest against a gay pride festival in Wichita.
The city's LGBT community held its annual parade followed by a festival at Naftzger Park. Wichita Pride rented the park for the day from the city and more than a thousand people held a picnic, took in a stage show and hunted for arts and crafts from local vendors.
But for the second year in a row a local pastor staged a protest.
Rev. Mark Holick and about 20 of his followers from the Spirit One Christian Center rallied near the the park and handed out Biblical tracts condemning homosexuality.
At one point Holick entered the park, paying the $5 admission fee, but when he began handing out his literature was asked to leave.
The Wichita Eagle, quoting witnesses, reports that Holick on leaving the park asked for his money back. The witnesses told the paper that Holick threw it at Thomas Witt, vice president of Wichita Pride, striking him on the arm.
The incident was captured on video by a pridegoer.
Holick was arrested on suspicion of battery.
It is not the first time he has been charged with attempting to disrupt a pride celebration.
Last year he was arrested and charged with charge of criminal trespassing. The charge was later dropped but Holick has filed a federal lawsuit against the city alleging that his constitutional right to free speech had been violated.

The Memorial Hospital Board of Control met in regular session Tuesday evening, and voted to continue the process of hiring Lee Hughes as permanent Chief Executive Officer. Hughes, the former CEO of Cimarron Memorial Hospital in Boise City, was named interim CEO last month when the Board voted to hire NewLight Healthcare to manage the hospital.
The Board last month wanted to hire Hughes as permanent CEO, but at Tuesday's meeting, decided to go through a hiring process that includes the medical staff. Hughes said he would be interviewed next week.

Associate Head Coach Steve McClain
On the game
"It became a back and forth game. When they got it back even, it was you have to score or they are going to score. I thought (Gonzaga guard) Matt Bouldin was going to try to win the game for them and he made a big shot. Yet I thought our guys made some big shots, stepped up and made some big plays. It was a battle. It was Big 12-type game out there. Like I told the kids, I walked out of the locker room for the first time since I've been at Colorado and felt like our kids believed we were going to win that game. At halftime, I knew they were going to come back. That team isn't where they are at because they quit. I knew they'd come back and be even, and we would have to fight. But I give our kids lots of credit. I thought we showed passion. I thought we were prepared. They made a shot where we didn't. We had a couple turnovers, but again, that's easy to say when you're sitting on the sideline. Give them credit, they found a way to win and we didn't."
On Colorado's performance
"We love our young players. (Cory) Higgins is going to be a really good player. Alec's (Burks) going to be a very good player. Again, our young players looked like they belonged out there. They weren't intimidated by it. Alec got a couple charges that I felt could have gone either way. But you know what, I know this: you expect your team to compete and leave it all on the court and I think our kids did that. We got a nice run going early, our kids kept their composure and got up, yet you knew they'd come back. I think Cory knows he's got help out there and it probably came down to one play. We pushed it, we had Casey (Crawford) wide open here, but the ball goes in and out. If we go up three it might have changed the whole thing. But he at least shot the ball like he believed he was going to make it and you live with the misses. I'm not going to fault our effort. We played like we believed in CU today."

I didn't want to hijack the other thread about shooting in the back so I thought I'd pose this question here.
What if you are at a restaurant or say gas station and as you wait in line to pay or sitting down eating and an armed robber comes in? The robber has his gun pointed at the clerk. You have a clear shot at the bg but it will be a shot in the back.
Do you take the shot?

In September 2007 we took our two young daughters on a year long round-the-world trip, removing them from the UK education system and leaving our jobs, our home and all the other responsible 'grown up' stuff associated with modern 30-somethings.
This is the story of our journey from the first thoughts and plans in 2006 to the day we stepped back on UK soil in 2008 after 345 days away, including our blog and all the amazing pictures we posted, an additional section of all our references and an update on how we have settled into 'normal' life again - if in fact we actually have! This is the book I wish I could have read beforehand.
We - Chris and Rachel - did a 2 year Round The World trip back in 1995-97 and always thought we'd do another one, or at least extended travel. We settled in the UK, worked for 10 years, got married and had 2 children, but never lost the wanderlust - our 2 girls travelled from the age of 6 weeks. In 2006, having finally caught up on enough sleep to seriously contemplate it, and with our youngest due to start school in September 2007, we realised the time was right. We packed in our jobs and other reliable, grown-up, responsible stuff to take our gorgeous 7 and 4 year old girls off on a year long family round-the-world trip.

Mariska Hargitay and Alec Baldwin are coming together for a special "Law & Order: SVU" episode in which Baldwin will guest star and Hargitay will have her directorial debut. While Alec Baldwin is expected to be busy this spring 2014 with his upcoming return to NBC, the actor will be making a guest appearance in a March episode for the perennially popular "Law & Order: SVU" series, confirms a representative for the TV show. MSN TV News also adds this Friday, Feb. 21, 2014, that the special episode will be a big one for Olivia Benson actress Mariska Hargitay as well, because she will be directing it.
Known to be good friends even away from the film set, a Mariska Hargitay, Alec Baldwin combination is sure to make for an outstanding hour of "Special Victims Unit" show time. At this point in production, "Law & Order: SVU" producers and spokespeople are keeping quiet on just what Baldwin's role will be, however. Nonetheless, it has been confirmed that Hargitay will also be making her debut as director instead of just starring as the lovely yet strong Olivia Benson on the show.
Alec Baldwin is mostly known in recent memory for starring on the hit series "30 Rock" for an impressive seven seasons, nabbing himself a total of two Emmy awards for his leading role in the process. The actor did have his talk show on MSNBC recently canceled due to him saying some anti-gay remarks, though. Mariska Hargitay, meanwhile, is known for being a "Law & Order: SVU" favorite for years now, being featured as major character Olivia Benson. While many people feared the show might struggle with the loss of actor Christopher Meloni as Detective Elliot Stabler this most recent season, "Special Victims Unit" is still raking in strong TV views and ratings.
The first confirmation that a Mariska Hargitay, Alec Baldwin special episode would be happening on "Law & Order: SVU" was made by The Wrap earlier this week. With so much acting experience on the show, Hargitay is expected to no doubt do a great job in her directorial debut.

Tokyoflash Introduces A Functional Breathalizer Watch
This is the (currently $99 for a limited time) Intoxicated watch from TokyoFlash. It has a functional breathalyzer built in so you know how crunk you are. The unit reads blood alcohol content in 0.02% increments from 0 to 0.20%. For reference, 0.08% is the typical legal driving limit. The watch's face glows green when you're sober, yellow after blowing between 0.41% - 0.60%, red above that, and would explode if I ever got my lips close to the thing.
Hit the jump for several more shots and a video demo.

What is it about springtime that makes me want to clean up and get rid? And spray paint?
We live in an old house. Which means Al and I share a small closet. Like the closest at IKEA in the 500 sq ft home showroom where the closet holds maybe five outfits.
This is what it was looking like sometime last week:
|My Momma tried!
One overflowing garbage bag to the thrift store and one ginormous box of winter clothes later...
The tragedy is that I probably only wear 1/10th of all that remains. Baby steps, people.
Now I've got to finish the dresser I am painting so I can tackle the overflowing pajamas, socks, etc. Spring cleaning is liberating... and exhausting.
Do you Spring Clean? Are you one of those hardcore cleaners that moves all of the furniture (even the toilets) to get the big clean on? Or are you the type of cleaner who gets it looking nice, but leaves the deep cleans for moving time? (Guess which one I am. HA!)

Because Logan had been dating Bonnie, he's now a suspect in her murder, and he begs Veronica to fly to California and help him choose a decent lawyer.

What are Light Emitting Diodes? In the early 1960's Nick Holonyak Jr.
invented them:
"A light-emitting diode is essentially a junction
between a region of p-doped semiconductors having an excess of holes
and an n-doped region having an excess of electrons. At the junction
between the two regions, the electrons and holes can combine. Because
electrons occupy a higher conduction band than holes, they have more
energy, which must be released during the process of recombination."
-Justin Mullins
Ok, that stuff is mostly above my head, but not to worry. The main
thing to realize is that, unlike a lamp, which is just a piece of hot metal
enclosed in a vacuum, an LED is actually a much more sophisticated and efficient
light producer. They draw less current than a lamp, and their color output is
much more defined. Another distinction to keep in mind, is that LED's are
diodes, meaning that they only like to pass electrical current in one
direction. This can lead to a lot of trouble for first-time users. There
are ways to determine the correct polarity of LED's, which we will talk about
LED's come in an almost endless variety of form factors, from the venerable
"bullet" shape, to square and even surface-mount styles.
Typically, projects involving case modding usually concentrate on the bullet
shapes, and maybe a square or rectangular shape for case-status lights and
such. One way to get up to speed on the various form factors is to check
out an electronics catalog. One fine example of this is the Jameco
catalog. When I was doing a lot of custom case work, Jameco always gave me good
service. There are other fine retailers out there, including Digikey,
Allelectronics, and even Radio
Shack. Although I will reference Jameco's catalog more than once, most of
the terms used here are industry standard.
The typical bullet LED comes in two basic sizes, T1 and T1-3/4. The T1
- 3/4 is the larger, and is very common. Here is a size comparison chart for
these two varieties.

1145. WILLIAM BEEBY was indicted for stealing, on the 17th of April, 1 handkerchief, value 6d., the goods of John Joanes Jackson, from his person.
JOHN JOANES JACKSON . I am a druggist. On the 17th of April, I was in the City-road about six o'clock in the evening—there was a crowd round an omnibus—I stopped with the crowd—I put my hand to my pocket to feel if it was safe, and missed my handkerchief, which I am sure was there before—I turned round immediately, and perceived it in the prisoner's hand, close behind me—I took hold of him—a policeman was standing near me—I told him the circumstance, and gave the prisoner in charge.
Prisoner. Q. Can you swear positively that I stole it? A. No; it was in your right hand by your side.
THOMAS KELLY . I am a policeman. I received him in custody—he denied the charge.
(Properly produced and sworn to.)
GUILTY . Aged 17.— Confined Six Months.

The Choice Offers "Blind Date Experiment" for Celebrities — Are You Intrigued?
"The Choice" is an upcoming FOX series that manages to combine "The Voice"-style spinning chairs and lonely celebrities looking for love.

Big 12 Competition Opens for Cyclone Tennis
AMES, Iowa – Big 12 Conference play begins Friday afternoon for the Iowa State tennis team. The Cyclones will start off this weekend's home stint against two top-15 nationally ranked schools.
The 3-10 Cyclones will play host to the No. 8 University of Texas Friday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. at the Forker Tennis Courts. UT is 7-4 this season, coming off of a 4-3 non-conference loss against the University of Southern California Wednesday.
Following the Longhorn match, Iowa State will have Saturday off, but the team will jump right back into conference action Sunday, when they will battle No. 15 Texas A&M at 10:00 a.m. in the same place. The Aggies are 9-1 this season, with their only loss delivered by Mississippi back in January.
Sunday's match will wrap up Iowa State's Big 12 series against Texas A&M, with the Aggies' move to the SEC coming this summer.
Both matches are scheduled to be played outside, but if weather does not permit, the competition will be moved indoors to the Ames Racquet and Fitness Center.

Eriadu Trade Summit
this wiki
The Eriadu Trade Summit was an event proposed by Senator Palpatine in 33 BBY, ostensibly to gather all parties affected by Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum's proposal to allow the Trade Federation an increase in standing permissible armament in exchange for Galactic Senate taxation of free-trade zones. The Nebula Front, a radical political group that opposed the Trade Federation, was specifically not allowed to attend the event. This decision culminated in an attempt on Valorum's life by the spurned Nebula Front. The event was held on the planet of Eriadu, an important trade world in the Outer Rim.
The event itself resulted in disaster. The majority of the Trade Federation Directorate was assassinated by its own security force in a plan orchestrated by Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, who made the Nebula Front appear responsible for the murders. No consensus was reached regarding the taxation of trade routes, and the Trade Federation was placed under the leadership of Nute Gunray, who would proceed to blockade trade on the planet of Naboo in protest.
In 33 BBY increased political pressure was placed on Finis Valorum, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, by the Trade Federation and its political allies regarding his proposal to tax trade routes in the outer systems. In order to discuss Valorum's proposed legislation, the senator from Naboo, Palpatine, suggested that a summit be held on the Outer Rim planet of Eriadu, where the Trade Federation and its delegates could share their ideas on the proposed legislation and debate with their political opponents. The summit was to serve as a platform for all relevant parties to express their viewpoints on the taxation of the outer trade routes; as such, all voting on the matter was postponed until the summit's completion.[1]
The summit itself was held in Seswenna Hall in Eriadu City. Organizations and governments invited to the Summit included the Association of Free Trade Worlds, the Commerce Guild, the Corporate Alliance, the Hutts, the Rights of Sentience League, Senex sector, the Stark Veteran Assembly, the Techno Union, and the Trade Federation. Although the Republic was represented by Valorum personally, many of its member worlds were allowed their own delegations, including Bothawui, Clak'dor VII, Falleen, Malastare, and Sullust. The Nebula Front itself was not invited despite its concerns regarding the Trade Federation because Valorum believed that it would only grant them unwarranted legitimacy.[1]
The Nebula Front, however, was concerned that the Trade Federation would pass on the additional costs of taxation to those who used their shipping services. Having been denied a voice at the trade summit, the Nebula Front's leader Eru Matalis—known to his allies as Havac— made plans with the mercenary Captain Cohl to assassinate Valorum during the trade summit. The Front's intent was to prevent the new taxation in the hope that the outer worlds could avoid increased shipping costs while the Front continued its campaign of violence against the Trade Federation.[1]
As it was essentially a meeting of the Republic and Trade Federation, those organizations were represented by their leaders, the Supreme Chancellor and the Directorate, respectively. However, it was to be a serious mistake; in an act orchestrated by Darth Sidious, security droids assassinated six of the seven Directorate members and made an attempt on the life of Valorum, making it look like the Nebula Front was responsible.[1]
As a result, the Summit ended prematurely, with nothing resolved. It was a major public relations disaster for both the Jedi who failed to prevent the attacks, and for Valorum himself. The Senate unilaterally passed its new taxation laws anyway, while also passing restrictions on the Chancellor's use of the Judicial Department and Jedi Order. The deaths of his companions allowed Viceroy Nute Gunray to assume direct control of the Trade Federation and order a blockade of Naboo as retaliation against the Republic and its senator who had proposed both the summit and taxation. Thus, the Summit's failure set the stages for the blockade and Battle of Naboo.[1]

TUCSON, Ariz. - The University of Arizona men's golf team posted its lowest round of the event and finished in seventh place Sunday at the 2011 Pac-10 Conference Men's Golf Championships in Palo Alto, Calif.
Arizona tallied a final-round 360 (+10) to finish the 72-hole event with a team total of 1,450 (+50) to finish seventh. It was Arizona's best finish at the Pac-10 Championships since 2008.
Oregon, trailing USC by nine shots after 54 holes, rallied to force a team playoff, as both teams finished with a tally of 1,415 (+15). The Trojans won the team title in a one-hole team playoff. UCLA (1,418) finished third, while host Stanford (1,420) placed fourth.
Martin Trainer of USC defeated Alex Moore of Oregon State in a seven-hole playoff to earn individual medalist honors after each shared the 72-hole individual lead at five-under 275.
Arizona finished six strokes ahead of intrastate rival Arizona State, who finished in ninth place, and the win in the standings clinched the decisive point in this season's State Farm Territorial Cup Series. The Wildcats, who have now claimed the trophy in each of the series' first two years, have a 9.5-6.5 lead with just two events remaining.
As was the case the entire event, the Wildcats were led by freshman Erik Oja, who carded a final-round 68 (-2), Arizona's low round of the tournament, to finish in a tie for ninth place at 283 (+3). It was Oja's first top-10 finish of the season, and the second time this season that the native of Sandviken, Sweden has been UA's top finisher.
Senior Tarquin MacManus posted four-over 74 Sunday and finished in a tie for 33rd place with a 291 (+11) total. Teammates Stefan Cox and Juan Pablo Hernandez tied for 39th place at 294 (+14) after the duo posted final-round scores of 74 and 73, respectively.
Jonathan Khan tied for 45th place at 298 (+18) after carding a 72 (+2). Khan rebounded nicely from a disastrous first round to finish with scores of 72, 71, and 72, which was UA's second-lowest total over the final three rounds. Tye Beall tied for 53rd place at 303 (+23).
The Pac-10 Men's Golf Championships were contested at the Stanford Golf Course, a par-70, 6,742-yard layout.
The University of Arizona will host the 2011 NCAA Regionals, May 19-21, at Omni Tucson National Golf Course.

Challenge in finding the right test talent
According to a top executive from the industry, "with growing demand for people, companies have no choice now but to dip deeper into the source of talent pool."
How can we help organizations in their entry-level QA talent hunt?
1. ReadyTalent
At Cleansoft Academy, we "chisel" test talent in graduates via a structured and intensive Finishing School in Software Testing – Software Test Engineering Professional Program (STEP Program). We create a ReadyTalent – talent tool – of 50+ test professionals bi-annually, who are project-ready and can work as effective tester with least supervision for entry-level positions.In addition to building strong foundation in testing, the Finishing School focuses on developing soft skills, systems thinking, team work and communication. IT companies have the option of hiring them after a minimal contract period of 12 months.
2. Customized QA Talent grooming program for IT companies
Alternatively, CleanSoft Academy will be glad to partner with IT companies to conduct customized software testing talent grooming program – to develop entry-level test talent with specific curriculum to suit their needs. Based on the eligibility criteria set by the partner IT company participants to this program will be invited. The participants will be groomed on technical skills, industry awareness and soft skills for a period of around 4 weeks. On completion of the grooming period the fresh test engineers will join the partner IT company on their payroll.

I had some issues with pulseaudio playing with other apps that I regrettably didn't file (reinstalled with FC6 soon after and forgot about it.) I think esd releases the sound device after a period of inactivity which allows other applications to use it whereas pulseaudio doesn't. Not sure though as I tried running padsp <PROGRAM> and some other things with no change. Regardless, we should evaluate how well pulseaudio plays with other programs early in the cycle so we have a chance to find and fix any little compatibility issues that crop up. -Toshio

College Hockey:Kilfoy's Goal Gives Dutchmen Edge
Union Rolls to Third Straight Win with Gritty Defense
POTSDAM, N.Y. — Senior Paul Kilfoy's first goal of the season was the difference as the Union defense, along with solid goaltending from Brandon Snee, helped the Dutchmen come from behind and win their second straight game at Cheel Arena, 2-1, over Clarkson on Friday.
"One of the plays we have is we try to bring it up low," said Kilfoy. "[Jeff Wilson] gave me a great pass. I went in, and I meant to go five-hole, their guy hooked and it hit his pads, and the rebound came back to me. It's a good feeling."
The goal was only the second collegiate goal for Kilfoy.
"I thought [Clarkson] played hard, and it was a good college hockey game," Union coach Kevin Sneddon said. "I thought it was a very defensive battle. I'm real proud of our guys. I didn't think we gave them too many grade A opportunities, and when we did Brandon was there to make the save.
"We played a lot more disciplined tonight, from a systems standpoint. We didn't take any really dumb penalties. I'm proud of our guys tonight. It's three games in a row where we've played real disciplined."
Both teams came out of the gate skating well, and for the first few minutes play was back-and-forth. However Clarkson jumped out to the early lead at 7:08 in the first.
A penalty to Union's Ales Havlik for obstruction-interference gave the Golden Knights the man advantage at 5:59, and Clarkson (13-9-3, 8-5-2 ECAC) made it count. The puck cycled to defenseman Kerry Ellis-Toddington at the blue line, and Ellis-Toddington put the puck on net. Snee made the initial save, but could not control the rebound, and David Evans was on the doorstep to recover the rebound and put Clarkson in front 1-0.
Union (10-12-3, 6-8-1 ECAC) bounced back from the early deficit in the second period, as senior Clark Jones picked up only his second goal of the season. Just 28 seconds into the frame, Jones took a rebound from in front of goaltender Mike Walsh and put it home, tying the game at 1.
The game-winner for the Dutchmen came late in the same period. Kilfoy got the puck at the blue line, and skated into the Clarkson zone unobstructed. Walsh saved his first shot, but the rebound bounced back out to Kilfoy's stick, and he lifted the puck past the prone netminder for a 2-1 lead.
"I think the only time we created a lot of traffic was on the power play where David Evans knocked in a rebound," said Clarkson coach Mark Morris. "They did a great job picking us up, and they were gritty in their own zone. We never really got to the net. Credit Union, they played a good game."
The power play was the only offense for Clarkson, as the Golden Knights went 1-for-2 with the extra man, while Union only had one shot at the power play, but failed to capitalize.
Goaltending was big for both teams as Snee stopped 23 shots in the win for Union, while Walsh came up with 18 saves and allowed both goals. Walsh was pulled in favor of the extra attacker late in the third period, but the Golden Knights were unable to cash in.
Speculation surrounds the co-captains for Clarkson, as both Kent Huskins and Don Smith left the game with injuries. Both are questionable for Saturday's game, as Huskins left with a sprained shoulder, while Smith had a twisted ankle.
Union travels to Canton, N.Y., on Saturday to face St. Lawrence, while Rensselaer heads to Potsdam to take on Clarkson.

The University of Oregon community came together to collect items to benefit the flood victims of Pakistan, a country that suffered massive flooding in July of this year. The flooding devastated approximately one-fifth of Pakistan's total land area. With the help of St. Vincent DePaul, all donated items will be shipped to Pakistan just in time to prepare for the upcoming winter season.
Members of O Heroes, the Holden Leadership Center and Fraternity and Sorority Life teamed up by volunteering to receive collections on November 2nd and 3rd on campus. The volunteers greeted a steady stream of donors in an effort that resulted in filling the collections truck.
Professor of International Studies and one of the event's main organizers, Anita Weiss, who is currently in Pakistan said, "They really need these items in hard-hit areas like Swat, Noushera and Charsadda."
O Heroes thanks all who donated and appreciates how the entire University of Oregon community collaborated to make this event possible.

What's On the Radar for 2012: Social, Tablets, Personalization, and Video
What's On the Radar for 2012: Social, Tablets, Personalization, and Video
We've noticed several trends percolating over the past several months, which we believe will become more mainstream in the coming year. There are lots of ways to create compelling marketing strategies around these popular trends, and you don't want to overlook site search and navigation as an important way to connect with your customers. Each article below offers insights and tips to help you do just that.
Socialized shopping
Shoppers are turning to their social networks to get ideas for products to buy, and they're looking to online retailers to add social information into search results. One way to capitalize on this trend is to add a search box to your Facebook page, which will allow shoppers to look for products without leaving their Facebook friends. Make Me Heal has done this, adding a search application its Facebook page, which has helped drive traffic from Facebook to its site. Also, you can add the number of Facebook "likes" (or Google "+1s") a product has received to site search results, and allow visitors to rank results by which items have received the most.
Another great idea is to bring social media content into search results, like Artbeads.com does, adding in user-generated content like videos and blog posts into search results. A "Community" tab within search results direct shoppers to this content.
Tablets gain steam in e-commerce
One of the biggest trends in the mobile space is the growing popularity of tablets. The good news is that tablet shoppers are showing a willingness to use these devices for online shopping. According to IBM Benchmark, 2011 holiday sales from smartphones and tablets accounted for 11% of total online sales, up from just 5.5% in December 2010. Data also points to tablet shoppers converting at a similar rate as traditional e-commerce shoppers, and spending more on average per visit. The challenge for online retailers is to take tablets' advantages and disadvantages into account when figuring out how to display search results and navigation elements.
For example, you need to configure lists of refinements so that choices are not too close together, since finger-tap navigation might mean that users select the wrong choice. You also need to make sure that the shopping experience across channels – including tablets, smartphones, PCs and print catalogs – remains consistent.
Personalizing the shopping experience
Site visitors increasingly expect a more personalized, engaging experience – and site search is a great way to do that, since you can deliver search results tailored to their needs based on what they've searched for before, where they're located, and what products they prefer. Consider adding a "Recent Searches" or "Search History" list to your site search results, which will help shoppers remember names and types of products they looked for previously. You can see how this works on FTD.com's website – in the example here, the "Recent Searches" box shows "chrysanthemums" and "yellow roses" as previous searches.
It's also easy to add a feature like Personal Preference Memory, which stores a shopper's product preferences and then delivers search results and navigation options based on these preferences (see how motorcycle products site Cruiser Customizing does this). Localization can also help feed shoppers' need for personalized search results – for example, you can ask for a visitor's zip code as soon as they land on your website, like Tractor Supply does, and deliver product availability and pricing information based on location. Multichannel retailers can also include information about the closest store for in-store pick-up.
Video brings products to life
In 2012, shoppers will continue to show greater appetite for videos, especially ones that make it easier to understand a complex product or process. Videos not only encourage purchases, but they can also boost your SEO rankings when you include videos on product pages.
Make sure to highlight the availability of your videos within site search results. For example, you can place video icons on site search results pages next to items with related video content, as you can see on the Etrailer.com website. Also, make the most of your videos by using them for merchandising. When visitors search for popular products that have an accompanying video, push these video-related results up higher; in addition, you can display banners highlighting video content when visitors search using specific keywords.

There is no way you've ever been around the lacrosse scene and not been influenced by Cascade's work. What people are becoming familiar with as the standard for all lacrosse helmets, it just typically another Cascade helmet.

If you pay your credit card bills on time, the new credit card rules that went into effect yesterday will have a very limited impact on your wallet. This is because the key rules are aimed at penalty fees. A second element of the new rules could help consumers who have seen their interest rates increase dramatically, but if this rule proves effective, it still won't save you money until February, if not later.
Of the new credit card rules, the ones limiting penalty fees will have the broadest impact. Two days ago, many credit card companies charged late fees of $39. Today, the maximum late fee cannot exceed $25 or the minimum payment due. Thus, a person who has a $10 minimum payment and fails to pay on time can only be charged $10.
These limitations on fees will provide the most help to people who accidentally miss payments. Those who pay late frequently may find that, instead of late fees, credit card companies may start charging them annual fees, reduce their credit limits, raise their interest rates or close their accounts altogether. And don't be surprised if the minimum payment on your card increases to $25. Credit card companies will be looking to recoup as much lost income as possible, so the days of $10 minimum payments may soon be coming to an end.
The second major element of the new credit card rules requires credit card companies to re-evaluate all rate increases since January of 2009 and reduce interest rates on customers who qualify. Unfortunately, this rate reduction does not have to conform to a standard and banks can come up with a plethora of reasons to leave rates unchanged.
To make matters worse, banks aren't required to complete this review for another six months, so if you are waiting for a rate reduction, it may be best to seek out a 0% APR balance transfer credit card. Not only will doing a balance transfer reduce your rate immediately, it will reduce it much more than your credit card company will if you qualify for a rate reduction.
Overall, the new credit card rules for August 22nd won't impact your wallet in the same way as the first set of rules enacted on February 22nd. While these rules cut down penalty fees and leave the door open to interest rate decreases, they will primarily help those who frequently incur penalties and not the vast majority of credit card users who manage their accounts correctly.

As the 2014 version of the WWE Royal Rumble goes into the books, fans are disenchanted about how the show went leaving many with the proverbial bad taste in their mouth as the show went off the air last night.
Even though The New Age Outlaws defeated The Rhodes Brothers for the WWE Tag Team Championship the rest of the show seemed to do more to irritate the fans than satisfy them.
One of the biggest complaints fans have is how the WWE is treating Daniel Bryan by first having him lose in his match to Bray Wyatt and then not giving him a spot in the Royal Rumble itself.
"I just don't understand it, I really don't," one fan said. "Daniel Bryan is better than most of the roster but yet they treat him like he is another Brooklyn Brawler."
Bryan is, arguably, one of the most popular performers in the WWE but he does not seem to be that popular with the powers that be ranging from Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and the boss himself, Vince McMahon. A former mega-star on the indies especially in ROH, Bryan has been limited during his time in the WWE especially now that his popularity has heightened.
Brock Lesnar completely obliterated the Big Show using a chair to hammer the big man almost to the point of excess. Lesnar is scheduled to square off against The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX and there are some who feel Lesnar should end the long undefeated streak of the dead man.
Randy Orton and John Cena was tantamount to a disaster with the crowd turning on both chanting for Daniel Bryan, the Divas, Randy Savage and even TNA star Kurt Angle among other things. Orton and Cena worked hard but you could tell they were distracted by the crowd and Orton won which then saw the Wyatt Family attack Cena post match much to the fans delight.
The main event was the Royal Rumble which was won by Batista much to the chagrin of the live crowd (reports are a fan flipped off Batista and said 'you suck' and Batista flipped them off as well) and much to the chagrin of the viewing audience.
The return of Batista, outside of the initial reaction he received in Dayton (though there were others who received bigger reactions) has been somewhat flat. Knowing he, instead of Bryan, will be in the main event at WrestleMania has left some fans pondering whether or not they will take part in WrestleMania XXX, one of the first PPVs to be offered on the new WWE Network.
"I couldn't stand him before and I sure as hell do not like him now. The 'minds' in the WWE are not thinking putting this moron in WrestleMania," a fan added.

The Chestnut Fine Arts Center opened Always, Patsy Cline, Jan.16 to an overly enthusiastic crowd there to hear the mucic of legendary country singer, Patsy Cline whose career ended far too soon with her untimely death at 30 years old.
Brad Zimmerman, executive producer and director of the Chestnut, assembled a super tandem of Valerie Fagan and Stasha Case to perform the musical tribute to Patsy Cline. The show, created by Ted Swindley and licensed by the family and estate of Patsy Cline, covers a Houston fan's initial sighting of Cline via the old TV show, Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts from the early 1950s. From the initial viewing of the singer, Louise Seger (Stasha Case) tells the story of her meeting with Cline and the relationship that subsequently developed.
Valerie Fagan as Patsy Cline could not be better cast. Fagan stepped onstage, walked to a microphone, introduced her character and burst into Cline's repertoire of well-loved songs. Fagan performed each song in the style of Patsy Cline, but never tried to imitate her sound. Fagan's voice matched perfectly with Cline's range and the songs did not vary from what audiences expect when hearing a Patsy Cline tribute. As for the characterization, she was Patsy Cline from the moment she stepped on the stage through the end. What a bravura performance!
Not to be outdone, Stasha Case used her dynamic stage presence, acting ability, and body language to create an admirable compliment to the Patsy Cline character. Case's comedic timing, facial gestures, dialogue delivery, and southern drawl just added moment by moment to the show. Keep an eye on Case, she just dances and bops her way through so many of the Patsy Cline ditties. At intermission, several guest commented on how much they were enjoying "Louise" and did not expect anything other than Patsy Cline music. Watch for Case. She's destined to get lots of parts in lots of shows as more directors see her work.
Zimmerman constructed a great four-piece band to provide the needed background for Always, Patsy Cline. Of course, Zimmerman on piano always drawn wonderment. But he added percussion and bass in the form of Garett Heinz and Danny Kaul, both regular musicians at the Chestnut. But for Always, Patsy Cline, he needed a steel guitar as well. This came in the form of Russ Wever who fit right in with the other band members to create a beautiful backup for the Patsy Cline vocals.

If we weren't already married, we'd ask Bobbi Brown to be our maid of honor. Her creations have done more for our confidence and our knowledge of makeup than any other brand. True story. And this Bellini Lip and Eye Palette ($75) could be her wedding gift to us. Featuring ten shimmering eye shades and four glittery glosses, this set is much better than a toaster or thirty-seven oven mitts.
