I recently came back from my summer vacation and once again, I'm sad to report that I've returned very disappointed. My buddies and I recently went to Cancun, Mexico expecting to meet a lot of women — especially the ones that like to "party" and have a good time (if you know what I mean). Unfortunately, none of us managed to have a summer sexual affair.
Now don't get me wrong; there were a lot of women, but we just found it very difficult to approach them. The only time we managed to make contact with an eager group of sexy women was on our last night before returning back to New York.
We met them at the hotel's dance club and managed to start a pretty interesting conversation. Regrettably, I didn't have much time to successfully use my charm and get any action.
My question to you is, how in the world do you manage to charm a woman into bed within a period of one week?
Peter, on a Siesta
The clock is tickingThere's something mystical about vacations that makes most women feel more playful, sexual and willing to experiment in sensual games with charming strangers.
Most men don't realize it, but it is actually a lot easier to approach and meet women on vacation than it is back home. Women lower their cat-shields and are more receptive to men that approach them when they're far from home.
The main reason is because there is no fear of family or close friends finding out about their secret summer affairs. In other words, they're not afraid of ruining their "good-girl" reputation.
This doesn't mean that a woman will sleep with the first man that approaches her. Nor does it mean that all women will sleep around while on vacation. What it does mean is that women are more open to the idea of being seduced by a stranger who can charm them off their feet.
The advantage: she is making it a little easier for you to seduce her. The disadvantage: there is a time limit before her cat-shield resurfaces.
Your goal is to approach her, introduce yourself, become friends, gain her trust, charm her, make her laugh, play with her, flirt with her, seduce her, and finally sleep with her within a span of one week.
Which women should you look out for?

For months after Kristina Ponischil was raped at a party in her off-campus apartment, her life at Western Washington University was hell. Police wouldn't act, as often happens in college towns with "he said, she said" accounts of alcohol-influenced student encounters behind closed doors. Despite a restraining order, she kept running into her assailant on campus, prompting panic attacks.
Once, the man who'd raped her brushed up against Ponischil in the bookstore, then smirked.
"I was just constantly worried that I would run into him again," Ponischil said.
But if the criminal justice system let Ponischil down, Western Washington did not. When she finally told an administrator what happened, the school sprang to action, offering her the support she needed. Perhaps most importantly, the campus judicial system, using a lower standard of proof than criminal courts, suspended her assailant, removing him from campus until she graduated in 2009.
"I was able to start healing," she said. "When I was constantly afraid, there was no healing. It was just constant fear."
The college's response wasn't just a moral obligation; it was also a legal one.
June marks the 40th anniversary of Title IX, the federal gender-equity law that has made headlines mostly on the sports pages. But over the last decade or so, through a series of court rulings and more recently controversial guidance published by Obama administration, Title IX has shifted onto a different patch of contentious terrain — sexual assault on college campuses. It is transforming how colleges must respond to allegations of sexual violence.
The reasoning: Title IX's key language, running barely 30 words, forbids sex-based discrimination that denies access to educational opportunity. It's long established that sexual discrimination and harassment can create an atmosphere that denies women their right to education. What's newer is applying the logic to even a single episode of sexual assault.
Typically, colleges enjoy wide leeway in responding to student misconduct, whether that means using a disciplinary board to enforce their own rules or simply punting the matter to law enforcement. But as Title IX is now interpreted — and would be reinforced under a new version of the Violence Against Women Act awaiting a Senate vote — colleges must respond if a sexual assault is reported, even if prosecutors refuse to get involved. Moreover, they face often precise instructions from the government for conducting their investigations and proceedings, and even the standard of proof to use.
Victims' advocates welcome what they call an overdue push for colleges to take seriously a problem they've long swept under the rug. The latest Title IX guidance also requires colleges to train staff, and develop and publicize policies to help sexual assault victims, or risk large legal judgments. And they must remediate the harm to victims, for instance by providing counseling.
More broadly, these advocates contend Title IX is also reframing the entire discussion about sexual violence on campus, away from blaming victims and toward the big issue at stake: their right to an education.
But Title IX's expanding role in campus sexual assault cases has proved contentious, on a variety of fronts, even among victims' advocates.
Some argue channeling sexual assaults to campus proceedings lets the criminal justice system off the hook. Others argue the problem is colleges can't or won't hand down tough punishments. Still others oppose some of what the government now requires of colleges. For instance, schools may be required to pursue a case even if the victim wants to drop it, and they cannot offer absolute promises victims' anonymity will be protected.
Virtually all college administrators agree it would be wrong to ignore sexual assault reports, but some feel unequipped to handle such cases. Regardless, they face suits from both sides — under Title IX for failing to act forcefully enough to ensure their campuses are safe for women, and by accused assailants claiming they were treated unfairly.
But the most vigorous criticism has come from civil libertarians, who argue the Obama administration's guidance undermines the rights of the accused. They've focused on the requirement that colleges use a "preponderance of evidence" standard in such cases — essentially a belief guilt is more likely than not, and a much lower standard than defendants enjoy in criminal court.
Illustrating the dangers, they say, are cases like that of a former North Dakota college student who was found responsible for sexually assaulting a fellow student by a campus disciplinary board. Later, police investigating the incident cleared him and brought false-reporting charges against his accuser. Still, he struggled to clear his name and has yet to return to school.
Title IX, these critics claim, is a blunt legal weapon for addressing sexual assault on campus. They too see a threat to access to education — but for the accused.
Studies vary in their findings of how common sexual assault is at American colleges. None, however, paint a reassuring picture. An often-cited 2007 study estimated one in five college women were victims of an attempted or completed sexual assault. A national telephone survey estimated 20 to 25 percent of women would experience a completed or attempted rape in college.
A 2003 Justice Department study of violent crime calculated a lower rate: about six college women per 1,000 per year, or roughly 3 percent overall during a college career.
"It's disgusting how much this goes on and how unaware people are of it," said Susannah Johnson, a freshman at Wheaton College outside Boston, whose account of being raped by a former boyfriend on campus last year went viral, prompting nearly 200 e-mails to her from women at other area colleges sharing their own stories.
Fewer than 5 percent of attempted or completed rapes are reported to law enforcement or campus authorities. That endangers others, because most campus rapes are committed by serial offenders (though usually not strangers).
Last April, the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) sent colleges a "Dear Colleague" letter, explaining its interpretation of Title IX and outlining the steps it believes colleges must take in response to sexual assault on campus. The 19-page letter carries over from past guidance that has been in force since the Clinton administration. But it was the first such guidance to address directly how Title IX applies to sexual violence, not just harassment.
The letter reminds colleges they must provide "due process" for the accused, such as giving both complainant and accused timely access to relevant information. But the focus is protections for the accuser. Schools must act promptly to investigate, not waiting for a criminal case to proceed. If necessary, they must take interim steps to protect the complainant before a verdict is reached, such as separating the accused and accuser in classes and dorms. In such cases, the burden of inconvenience should fall on the accused.
They also must offer immediate support to victims, and ensure cases are resolved before perpetrators graduate. Historically, some advocates say, colleges trying to avoid messy cases have simply "run out the clock." That's no longer an option.
The case for these strong measures lies with women like 24-year-old Ally Clendineng, who contends she was driven away from Northern Iowa Area Community College by a 2006 rape and the college's inadequate response. Clendineng was fumbling for her keys after an evening out with friends when a guy she vaguely knew let her into a dormitory. He'd been drinking, and she brushed him off, but he followed her to her door. For reasons she says she can't explain, she agreed to hang out with him in his room for a few minutes. She sat on his bed, and soon he lay down beside her and pulled her toward him.
"He kept me pinned," Clendineng recalled. Eventually, "I just stopped trying to stop it because I couldn't stop it," she said.
"I remember at one point, he was like, 'This would be so much easier if you'd help me out here.'" A resident adviser took her to the hospital, but when she talked to police she couldn't remember the order of events. Police filed preliminary charges, but they were dropped.
On campus, she says, a dean told her the assailant had rights, too. He was told to stay away from her, but she encountered him almost daily.
"It made me unable to focus, to concentrate on anything other than making sure nothing like that ever happened again," she said.
Clendineng began abusing painkillers and her schoolwork fell apart. Eventually, she dropped out. She's now trying to finish a degree online.
"I should have been able to finish school long before now," she said. She believes she could have "had there been more support from the school, had they done more to tell him to stay away, had the dean not essentially blamed me for it happening."
A NIACC spokeswoman, Michele Appelgate (CQ), provided with a summary of Clendineng's account, said it did not accurately reflect the college's response in that case. She also provided a statement from president Debra Derr describing a series of changes and improvements, made under new leadership four years ago, to the college's sexual assault response policy.
Only recently, Clendineng said, did she become aware Title IX might apply to a case like hers. At the time, she had no idea of her rights or the obligations it places on colleges to act and help victims.

A previously healthy 6-year-old boy developed H1N1 pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and multiorgan failure requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for 54 days and a 2-year hospitalization. Episodes of acute pancreatitis subsequently developed complicated by pseudocyst formation. He presented 14 months later with continued acute recurrent pancreatitis. There was no family history of pancreatitis. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed dilated intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts with a distal filling defect, pancreatic atrophy, and ductal dilation (Fig. 1). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed severe chronic pancreatitis by Cambridge classification (1) with diffuse main duct and side branch irregularities with intraductal filling defects. Both biliary and pancreatic sphincterotomies were performed with removal of a biliary cast and small pancreatic duct stones, balloon dilation of the dominant pancreatic duct neck stricture (Fig. 2) followed by placement of a 7-F stent. He was clinically improved 2 months later.
ECMO is sometimes used in infants for respiratory distress and persistent pulmonary hypertension. Ischemic cholangiopathy (2) occurs in adults with hepatic artery thrombosis and in critically ill patients; some develop secondary sclerosing cholangitis (3). We believe this case may represent ECMO-induced ischemic acute and chronic pancreatitis. This has not been previously reported and clinicians should be aware of this potential association.

John Rice's Music in the Eighteenth Century takes the reader on an engrossing Grand Tour of Europe's musical centers, from Naples, to London, Berlin, Vienna, Prague, and St. Petersburg -with a side trip to the colonial New World. . Against the backdrop of Europe's largely peaceful division into Catholic and Protestant realms, Rice shows how "learned" and "galant" styles developed and commingled. While considering Mozart, Haydn, and early Beethoven in depth, he broadens his focus to assess the contributions of lesser-known but significant figures like Johann Adam Hiller, Francois-André Philidor, and Anna Bon. Western Music in Context: A Norton History comprises six volumes of moderate length, each written in an engaging style by a recognized expert. Authoritative and current, the series examines music in the broadest sense-as sounds notated, performed, and heard-focusing not only on composers and works, but also on broader social and intellectual currents.

Based on a 40nm GPU codenamed "Redwood," the card's specifications include 400 stream processors operating at a clock frequency of 775MHz, offering more than 600 TeraFLOPS of raw computing power, and either 512 ($99) or 1GB ($119) of GDDR5 memory for a total bandwidth of up to 64 GB/s on a 128-bit bus. In terms of energy consumption, the single-slot Radeon HD 5670 offers an impressively power low draw of just 14W at idle and 61W under load.
The new card is said to consistently outperform Nvidia's GeForce GT 240, which was already an irrelevant product anyway, but since Nvidia is pricing it at $99 that's what AMD is positioning its 5670 after. Overall you can expect most games to run smoothly at 1680x1050 with anti-aliasing and detail levels cranked up. Check out some reviews at PC Per, Legit Reviews and Anandtech.

Macbeth Time Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line) from the Folger Shakespeare Library
Quote #4
My dearest love,
Duncan comes here tonight.
And when goes hence?
Tomorrow, as he purposes.
O, never
Shall sun that morrow see!
Your face, my thane, is as a book where men
May read strange matters. To beguile the time,
Look like the time. Bear welcome in your eye,
Your hand, your tongue. Look like th' innocent
But be the serpent under't. He that's coming
Must be provided for; and you shall put
This night's great business into my dispatch,
Which shall to all our nights and days to come
Give solely sovereign sway and masterdom. (1.6.67-82)
Yeah, King Duncan is not getting out of this castle alive. What caught our attention about this passage is the way the couple talks about the planned murder in terms of time —"Duncan comes here to-night"; "when goes he hence"; "never / Shall sun that morrow see!" The pair talk about their plans as though time will come to a complete halt for King Duncan. Lady Macbeth also puns on the word "time" when she suggests Macbeth should suit his demeanor to the occasion ("To beguile the time, / Look like the time") in order to make Duncan believe he's happy to see him.
Quote #5
If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well
It were done quickly. If th' assassination
Could trammel up the consequence and catch
With his surcease success, that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We'd jump the life to come. (1.7.1-7)
Even if Macbeth isn't caught after he murders King Duncan, he'll be punished in the afterlife (the "life to come"). So why does he decide that temporary, earthly power is worth eternal damnation?
Quote #6
Hang out our banners on the outward walls.
The cry is still "They come!" Our castle's strength
Will laugh a siege to scorn. Here let them lie
Till famine and the ague eat them up.
Were they not forced with those that should be
We might have met them dareful, beard to beard,
And beat them backward home. (5.5.1-8)
Macbeth's strategy during the siege is to hole up in the palace and bide his time "till famine and the augues" (starvation and illness) destroy the enemy soldiers. What's creepy about this is that he's still acting like he has all the time in the world, when in fact his borrowed time is just about up. (Fun fact: plays are bound by time in the way that other works of literature aren't. You can read a novel as fast or as slowly as you want, but when you're watching a play you only get the amount of time that a director has assigned. Almost—we're just saying—as though you're being controlled by fate.)

Arizona Women's Basketball
Arizona vs. Stanford
February 27, 2010
Arizona Head Coach Niya Butts
Opening statement
"In the first half we really played outstanding. Despite being down by five, it was still a basketball game. It was great to see that, especially against the number 2 team in the country. We were aggressive. The energy level was there, we contested a lot of shots for the most part, and were really affected them. The second half was definitely a different story.
On lack of depth
"It's hard to use the size of our bench as an excuse when we've had the situation all season, but the more players you have, the more good minutes you're going to get. We played hard; we just weren't able to complete the game."
On Stanford's three-point shooting
"Peterson made a lot of huge shots, but when you don't get a hand in her face, she's going to knock them down. It's impossible to avoid that. She definitely did her job tonight."
On second half performance
"It's not to say that fatigue doesn't play a part, we just have to try to play through. We were unable to slow them down and make shots down the stretch and that hurt us. I just want to make it known that I am very proud of how we played in the first half. We say everything we always want to see our girls do, and now we just need to see it more in the second half. We have to start finishing games."
On senior guard Ashley Frazier
"It was a pleasure to coach Ashley for these past four years and she is definitely going to be missed both as a player and as a person.
Stanford Head Coach Tara VanDerveer
Opening statement
"We started out slow today, but played a lot better in the second half. Jane had a tremendous game, earning the Pac-10 rebounding record. We missed some shots in the beginning but we did better in the end. I was impressed with the team and how well we played even without who I believe could be the Pac-10 defensive player of the year Rosalyn Gold-Onwude. We worked hard and wanted to improve coming into this game, and we did that."
On having only four turnovers
"To have only four turnovers was great for us. That was something we wanted to work on coming into this game. It is something we have been focusing on so we did really well."
On how depth effected their win
"I think it had a lot to do with the win. Getting rest at the end, even if it was just one or two minutes was nice for the players and eliminated the exposure of our all-Americans to injuries. It allowed a few players who haven't gotten a lot of play some game time. Having a deep bench is definitely key."
Arizona Player Quotes
Junior forward Ify Ibekwe
On the differences between the first and the second half
"They just hit their shots and we didn't. We didn't hang our heads though. We just relied on our outside shots and on our jumpers. We should have attacked more."
On Stanford's size
"They were big and physical, but we were just as big and physical in the first half."
Stanford Player Quotes
Senior center Jayne Appel
On team's ability to make outside shots
"We wouldn't have a good team unless we could make outside shots. It makes defense - I mean they continued to double down -- but in general it makes defense re-think their strategy."
On being the new Pac-10 career rebounds record holder
"It is a tremendous accomplishment, but I'm sorry I want a national championship."

"Very truly I tell you, the one who believers has eternal life. I am the bread of life."(John 6:47-48)
People have needs for the basic necessities of life. Clothes, food, shelter, etc are a few of those areas. Basic needs are for the purposes for them to grow and prosper. Emotional needs are met with hugs and love. The goal is to provide nourishment for thriving in the environment. Nourishment is needed to sustain life.
God has made provision for His creation. He gives food and love. He is the source of all provision. The most significant area is love and His gift of salvation through His only Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is life. He is the nourishment for every human's need for salvation from sin, death, and hell. He is God's providential care for redeeming the human soul.
Believer, continue to be thankful for God's provision of salvation. Share with others how they can accept God's care and love. The power of the Holy Spirit enables you to do it. Amen!

The Pornanino Olive Oil Cookbook is a collection of family recipes from all over Italy. What makes them both healthy and delicious is that magical ingredient the ancients called "green gold". Extra virgin olive oil is one of nature's most precious gifts and one of the reasons why Mediterranean peoples live longer, healthier lives. So dive in and discover how fun, quick and easy Italian cooking can be - and surprisingly light, too, as most recipes have been revised in order to provide the perfect balance between taste and calories. Enjoy!
Reading, cooking and travelling have all been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Writing came much later, after I'd been a travel agent (sort of) for 10 years and a free-lance cook for another 3. But then it hit like a ton of bricks! I've been doing it non-stop since 2000, authoring and script-writing a wonderful adventure travel series for the Italian state television. I also have the daring (and the nerve) to write an English-language newsletter to promote some of the best Italian extra virgin olive oil on the market - it really is outstanding! Last but not least, I'm launching a deluxe B&B in Milano and having fun writing cook-books.

Monica Breeze is nothing but refreshing here on Reality Kings! Get a swift of her sweet pussy and you will be flocking to see her latest updates on RK. This sexy brunette has a nice apple shaped bottom with a cute set of titties to go along with it. Her special on 40inchplus was a real show stopper. She nearly frozed our website. See her give great head while she exercises her pussy muscles on some 10 inch cock!
Site: 40 Inch Plus
Date: Monday, October 10, 2005
I called up my buddy Trent to see what he was up to and he told me he was about to meet up with some girl he has been trying to fuck for while now. After a bunch of going back and forth he finally agreed to let tag along and see if I could help him get in there. It was all about the tale of the tape. If she met our requirements and surpassed 40 inches she would be a keeper. If not we would just drop her back off at the mall where we were supposed to pick her up and get rid of her.

Shake Your Groove Thing
Whether you are planning a party to celebrate a 40th Birthday, Wedding Anniversary, Halloween Party or just an annual themed party, everyone enjoys being time warped into 1970 something. So strap on your platforms, pull up your bell bottoms and start planning with some of these ideas.
70's Characters only need attend: Guests can come as some of these icons
This was the time of Hippies, bell bottoms, polyester and peace.
Music: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Elton John, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, KISS, Stevie Wonder, Joan Jett
TV & Movies: Grease, The Brady Bunch, Good Times, Mary Tyler Moore, Three's Company, The Love Boat, Charlies Angels
70's Flair: Bell bottoms, turtle necks, large floral prints, platform shoes, sideburns, afros and Farrah hair
The best costumes are the ones that were put together on a small budget by shopping at thrift stores and pulling from your closet. Styles seem to re-circulate every so often and I bet there are a few things in your closet that resemble the 70's. Get creative and don't hold back!
Let people know that they will be voting for the best costume and there will be prizes. You can pick up an old trophy at the thrift store and dress it up in crazy fabric, put bell bottoms and an afro on the figure. You can find some great stuff at the craft store for this. This will then be passed down year after year if you decide to make it a tradition. 2nd and 3rd place prizes can be a plastic peace sign necklace or a plastic disco ball. Cheesy is OK in this instance.
Decorating for the ultimate 70's atmosphere
Decorating for the theme might prove to be a little more difficult than dressing the part. Think Lava Lamps, beads hanging in the doorway, bold graphic patterns, bright colors and shag. If you can't find 70's looking table cloths at the thrift store, you will surely find some crazy fabric at your local fabric store. Decorate the tables with this fabric. For centerpieces find some plastic disco balls or fill a vase with daisies, the flower of peace. If you are renting a space, see if they have a disco ball for the dance floor. Hang big smiley faces, peace signs and flowers on the walls, chandeliers and doors.
Games and Entertainment
Hollywood Squares, Family Feud and The Price is Right! These were popular games on TV during this time. Use 70's trivia to play one of these games. Choose the best one that will engage everyone and don't make the questions too hard. It's all about having fun. A little research online will help to make this fun and easy.
If you hire a DJ, ask him to play 70's hits and make sure he dresses the part as well. If you are hosting at home and have Direct TV or Dish, you can turn your TV to XM radio, 70's music, and blast it. If you have internet in your party room, Pandora Radio is a free music station that will play 70's music, but with an occasional commercial.
Invitations are perhaps the most important factor in planning your party. These must be sent out 2-3 weeks in advance if you want a successful turnout. They will need time to shop for the best outfit and mark their calendar. Again, be really creative. Buy some blank cards and envelopes- perhaps bright colored- and add 70's stickers, wrap in funky fabric, fill with 70's inspired confetti...... whatever comes to mind. This will set the tone for the theme and will make the impression that this is a big event. If you don't want to make invites, you can also go to evite.com to create and email an invitation to all your guests. This is also a great tool for collecting RSVPs.
In conclusion, it's all about being creative, doing a little research, giving yourself time to plan and ultimately, having a great time with friends and family.
Any excuse to gather with friends and family is a good excuse, find yours.

Samsung Galaxy Star and Galaxy Pocket Neo introduced in Africa
The Samsung Galaxy Star and the Galaxy Pocket Neo have become official in Africa. These made appearances at the Samsung Forum in South Africa. Since the Korean company has yet to put out a press release of the announcement, details are pretty thin, and the hands-on images below are all we have at the moment.
The Samsung Galaxy Star (seen below) has EDGE connectivity only, a 3-inch 240×320 touchscreen, a 2 MP camera, dual-SIM support, and 4 GB of built-in storage space. It runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Other specs that have been rumored so far include a microSD card slot, support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS, and a 1,200 mAh battery.
The Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo (pictured in the image below this paragraph) comes with an 850 MHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, once again a 3-inch 240×320 touchscreen, dual-SIM support, a 2 MP camera, 4 GB of internal storage, and 7.2 Mbps HSDPA. It should also sport Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth 4.0 according to past rumors. This model runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean just like the Galaxy Star, and it certainly seems that the only difference between the two is the 3G connectivity inside the Pocket Neo.
Unfortunately there is no information right now about pricing or availability for these devices, but they should obviously be extremely cheap, having those specs. We'll let you know when we find out more about the Samsung Galaxy Star and the Galaxy Pocket Neo.

The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real world learning and hands on instruction… Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation.
The year and a half I spent in the program better prepared me for attaining a job in the field…As a hands-on learner, the project-centered teaching was perfect for me.
Keiser University has given me the opportunity to embrace a career change… It has opened the door for a timely graduation and quick return to the work force…
Without the education I received at Keiser University, I would not be where I am today!
I not only received an excellent education but also encouragement and training that built my self-confidence every day.
I realize the amount of knowledge I gained and feel that the educational experiences have developed me in to a person who can move higher up the career ladder.
Keiser University's MBA program has renewed my mind, changed the way I think, and given me a new sense of purpose. The professors transformed my attitude and behavior, gave me the self-confidence I was lacking, and restored my energy.
It has been great attending and graduating from Keiser University. Because of the small class sizes, I was able to build good relationships with classmates and professors. The PA professors care very much about the progress and success of the students and have been great advisors every step of the way through the program.
Attending Keiser University and getting my degree was the best decision I have ever made. The small class sizes and personalized attention helped me get my degree quickly. The hands-on experience and the education landed me a job at a neighboring law firm.
I chose Keiser because it had everything—small classes, caring professors, hands-on learning, and counselors that are really there for you. I feel like I'm part of a family here, not just a number.
After being denied for several promotions at my current employer, I decided that I needed to further my education. Since graduating from Keiser with my bachelor's degree in Business Administration, I have been promoted and I am able to obtain positions that weren't available to me before.
Keiser helped change my life by getting my education at the right school! I have been going to another school before, dropped out because I felt that I was not getting enough information that I need. When I found out about Keiser, I was pleased because the instructors were great.
My decision to attend Keiser University has been one of the best decisions I've made. I chose to enroll in the Information Technology program… The one-class-a-month pace helped incredibly with my self-discipline.
The BA for Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation. Keiser takes the basics that are taught at the Associates level and uses them to strengthen your skills and knowledge.
I found that Keiser University's Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn't truly interested.

At CPAC on Thursday, Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan showed just how disconnected the party of the rich really is when it comes to understanding poverty.
Ryan twisted the words of a story about an impoverished child and free school lunches. In Ryan's version, the child wanted a brown paper bag lunch instead of a free "government" lunch because the believes kids would rather go hungry than get a free meal.
But according to Wonkette, the child Ryan was referring to "wasn't turning down government subsidized lunches at school, he was reacting to a private benefactor's offer to pay for his cafeteria lunches at school."
Apart from earning 4 Pinocchio's, from Washington Post fact-checkers, Ryan's misrepresentation shows just how little millionaires in congress fail to understand poverty and hungry kids.
Most young children don't know much about political ideology and they care even less about who feeds them when their hungry. Survival instincts don't wear party labels, particularly among the under 10-year-old demographic.
What Ryan's distorted message demonstrates is a cold-hearted ideology that is echoed throughout the "smaller government" crowd. For these austerity- pushers the answer is simple; poor people should simply stop being poor and all their problems would be solved. What they fail to explain is exactly how piles of money flow into the hands of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck, without the resources to better themselves through higher education.
Republicans may believe that making kids go hungry will teach them a lesson about the evils of poverty and "motivate" them to make wealth appear. However, Ryan's World is not based on reality and therein lies the problem.
Poor people don't enjoy struggling and it's not a lifestyle they endure by choice. Just ask someone living in poverty if they would rather have one good-paying job or 3 bad-paying jobs and see what they say. Guaranteed, the answer will not be I love being poor.

This Masks a Nasty Surprise for Homebuyers – Zillow
This recent article on CNBC.com highlights what many believe to be a widespread sentiment in the housing market, yet neglects to recognize two powerful counterpoints: (1) lending standards will inevitably loosen, allowing a greater number of buyers to qualify for mortgages; and (2) higher rates will come in tandem with economic growth, mitigating the interest rate headwinds to some degree.
Zillow Acquires Trulia in $3.5 Billion Deal
Today I was quoted in this Los Angeles Times piece discussing the merger of the nation's two largest online real estate listings companies. In the short term, they hope to streamline costs and provide a more powerful force in the digital real estate advertising and CRM (customer relationship management) marketplace. In the long term, they collectively forge ahead in the daunting task of trying to disintermediate the deeply-entrenched role of the residential real estate sales agent.
2013 Livable Communities Report: A Call to Action
Yesterday I released my newest policy recommendations for improving economic competitiveness in Los Angeles County through the creation of additional workforce and affordable housing units, using transit and mobility hubs as a link to jobs-rich communities. You can download the report, entitled the 2013 Livable Communities Report: A Call to Action, here.
Habibi Properties' Arrowhead Residential Funds Profiled in Bloomberg
Below is a link to yesterday's Bloomberg piece profiling the Arrowhead Residential Funds, which my company launched just over two years ago in anticipation of the recent housing market correction. We have thus far acquired approximately 250 homes, and the pipeline is still open for further acquisition activity over the remainder of this calendar year. For more information, visit www.ArrowheadFund.com.
Homeowners Lobby for Foreclosure Registry
I am sharing a couple of links to an interview I did yesterday on National Public Radio with Alex Cohen, host of "All Things Considered." The topic of discussion was the proposed foreclosure registry in San Diego, aimed at reducing blight across bank-owned single family homes. This is a general article about the proposal, and this is the actual podcast. My radio interview starts at 1:07:20 on the MP3 file.
Inside the Fed in 2006: Missing the Coming Crisis
Minutes recently released from the 2006 meetings of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) offer some disturbing insights into the failure of Fed officials to understand how deeply intertwined the housing sector and financial markets are. This New York Times piece goes into much detail regarding this and other less-than-flattering aspects of these meetings. While residential investment represents a tiny four percent (4%) of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it has far reaching backward- and forward-linkages into many other components of GDP, such as construction, construction materials, durable goods, home furnishings, brokerage and financial services. For this reason, it is often said that when it comes to the strong effect residential investment has on the economy, that housing is the "tail that wags the dog."
Home Price-to-Rent Ratios Show Signs of a Bottom
When evaluating where we are in the housing cycle, it is often useful to evaluate fundamental valuation metrics and compare current trends versus historical averages. Below is a graph (click to enlarge) depicting the national price-to-rent ratio, which depicts how homes are trading relative to their rental values. This metric is similar to the P/E (price/earnings) ratio typically used in analyzing the stock market.
This graph uses the Case-Shiller Composite 20 and CoreLogic House Price Index, and sets the baseline period at January 1998, which is assigned a value of 1.0. The current ratio (as of October 2011) on both indices is at 2000 levels, indicating that we are very close to long-run historic average metrics. While foreclosures/short sales (lagging economic indicators) still account for a significant share of existing home sales, the good news is that delinquency rates (leading economic indicators) are gradually diminishing. As such, we can expect home prices to bounce around gently for several months, then gradually start to recover based on improving fundamentals.
August Existing-Home Sales Rise Despite Headwinds
In response to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) August existing home sales data, released here today showing that sales compared to the previous year are up and inventories are down, I issued the following statement:
"Although the year-over-year sales numbers look very positive, the reality is that last year's August sales numbers were unusually low due to the post-Homebuyer Tax Credit hangover effect, so this year looks higher mainly by comparison only. We're still below healthy levels.
We are seeing the foreclosure pipeline starting to open up again, which is good news. This will help achieve price discovery and equilibrium, which has been a huge problem over the past couple of years. In fact, the average home sold in a foreclosure proceeding has been delinquent for nearly 600 days, up from 478 days the year prior. In August, we started to see banks unload foreclosures and arrange short sales at a higher pace. Homes at risk of foreclosure accounted for 31% of sales in August, up from 29% in July. And because distressed sales occur at substantial discounts, this explains the median price decrease for August.
Overall, I believe these numbers continue to show that the housing market is now basically at the bottom, and although the August numbers appear positive, I don't believe they foretell ongoing positive movement in the short- or medium-term."
Existing Home Sales Down in July but Up From a Year Ago
In response to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) data, released August 18th, showing that existing home sales slipped nationally and regionally in July, I issued the following statement:
"The research released by the National Association of Realtors showing a decrease in existing home sales reflects a continuing fall in the housing market, which is now basically at the bottom, with little or no movement expected in the short- to medium-term. The reason for the continuing decline in July can be attributed to negative jobs data throughout the month of July, as well as a crisis of confidence related to the debt ceiling impasse. In addition, when purchasing a home, buyers often look to capturing the "sweet spot" between low pricing and low interest rates. The Fed's announcement last week to keep the short-term rate at near-zero for another two years removed any urgency for buyers who now have the convenience of waiting out the market to see if prices will in fact get a bit lower before pulling the trigger. Although July 2011 sales compared to July 2010 are up, this increase is misleading, as last July was the first month of sales data after expiration of the homebuyer tax credit, meaning sales were pushed forward into the months leading up to July 2010, causing that month's sales to be unusually low. As such, a significant increase was expected."
Here is the link to the official release: NAR Official Release
"Foreclosure-Gate" Impacting Home Sales
This New York Times piece, written by Andrew Martin and David Streitfeld, highlights the latest "foreclosure-gate" debacle — that is, the shoddy preparation of mortgage documents which has stalled foreclosures in 23 judicial foreclosure states — and the effect it has on home sales. While the article focuses on sales declines, it altogether ignores the issue of price stability. With fewer homes released into the market, supply is constrained, creating a bit of temporary price stability that otherwise may not have existed. Either way, like most efforts under the current administration, this series of events will simply slow the decline to where the housing market will end up anyway. Here's a link to the article:

I have WP installed in sub-directory and I'd like to have pretty URLs for the lost password functionality. So, something like this, from WP native -> pretty URL:
Initial and any errors lost password page:
http://domain.com/sub-dir/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword ->
Success URL of the lost password page:
http://domain.com/sub-dir/wp-login.php?checkmail=confirm ->
I've tried using the following code: a re-write rules and a filters.
The re-write rules:
add_rewrite_rule( 'forgot-password?checkemail=confirm/?$', 'wp-login.php?checkemail=confirm', 'top' );
add_rewrite_rule( 'forgot-password/?$', 'wp-login.php?action=lostpassword', 'top' );
The filters:
add_filter( 'lostpassword_url', 'lostpass_url_fix');
function lostpass_url_fix( $link ){
return str_replace( '?action=lostpassword', '', str_replace( network_site_url('wp-login.php', 'login'), home_url( 'forgot-password', 'login'), $link ) );
add_filter( 'lostpassword_redirect', 'lostpassword_redirect_fix' );
function lostpassword_redirect_fix(){
return home_url( 'forgot-password?checkemail=confirm', 'login' );
However, that doesn't seem to work correctly. Whether it's a success or failure it's always redirected to
forgot-password?checkemail=confirm without any error/success messages.
I've noticed that WP native lost password behavior is the following:
1) Success. The URL is
wp-login.php?checkmail=confirm that displays login form with message to check user's email for the login details.
2) Failure. The URL is
wp-login.php?action=lostpassword that displays lost password page with the error message.
In the
lostpassword_redirect filter I don't think I can test for success or failure of the lost password function..
Any idea how it's possible to make URLs for the lost password functionality pretty?
Many thanks, Dasha

Here I have an interesting problem on linear algebra. It looks very simple, but not so easy to solve for me.
Let $r_i, i=1,…,n$ be unit vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$, find a unit vector $x$ to minimize $\sum \| r_i\times x \|^2$
Remark: if let $\theta$ be the angle between $r_i$ and $x$, then $\sum \| r_i\times x \|^2 = \sum \sin^2 \theta _i$. But I don't like sinusoid functions, I think they make the problem more complex especially for high dimensional cases. Is it possible to solve the problem using linear algebra or matrix analysis?
Thank you very much.

A new episode of "Call of the Wildman" aired on Sunday night, and this week, it was really new. There have been some significant changes taking place with each episode of the popular Animal Planet show this season as animal rights groups like PETA level some compelling charges against Turtleman's way of catching animals. So, it seems the show is quickly transitioning into a country comedy/reality show along the lines of "Duck Dynasty."
Ernie Brown, Jr., the Turtleman, has broadened his horizons, and the latest show dealt with his entry into a dance competition at the Annual Daniel Boone festival in Kentucky. Instead of scrounging around in the dirt wrestling various animals, most of the episode featured Ernie trying to find a dance partner. He "auditioned" several ladies at a dance school who attempted to teach him several styles of dance: ballet, belly dancing, hip hop, etc…
If someone tuned in looking for rabid raccoons, angry coyotes or flying squirrels flying by Turtleman's head, they would have been perplexed when they saw Ernie doing an arabesque with a girl with a tutu. At one point, he was dancing with his dog, but even more disturbing was the scene filmed at the festival in which girls were screaming to dance with him. The ending scene was particularly awkward as he attempted to lift and dip a not-very-petite lady and almost dropped her to the floor.
There was only one animal scene and it involved a groundhog. There was still very little of the customary bravado during the capture; Turtleman didn't even handle the animal very much. All the while, with every mention of a capture, Neal was on the side telling us how Turtleman saved the animals from death. He was plainly the voice of explanation provided by the show to the charges of animal cruelty. In case you missed the article, here is the Mother Jones piece that originally raised questions about the methods used on the program.
The most bizarre new element to the "Call of the Wildman" webpage is the movie reviews that Ernie and Neal are doing. These were advertised on the show and featured on the website. You can view one of these attached to this article.

Someone has set off a gas bomb & cut off the lights. An unknown person dressed in black steals an expensive art piece & it is Kelly.
Samantha overhears a Foreign agent who is following Kelly & claims that she uses accomplices. Finch & John are listening in on a conversation between Kelly & her boss from the country of Prague, Czech Republic. She tells him she is finished with stealing, but he says she has one more job to do. Finch tells John that Kelly used to be a former Chinese gymnast who trained for the Olympics. She was cut from the team for practicing in another country.
Kelly is asked to steal a historical Bible as her last job, but she fails. Samantha broke into Kelly's apartment & then follows her. Her boss is upset as Kelly tries to think of another way to get that Bible. Her daughter is being held as a hostage over Kelly's head.
Will the Foreign agent catch up to Kelly? Can Kelly find a way to steal that Bible to get her daughter back? How can John & Samantha help this time around? - You can watch the full episode of "Provenance" at the official website of "Person of Interest."
