Increasing Financial Skills
Knowledge is power.
Financial capability is critical to economic stability, and skill-building can happen in groups, through trusted advisors, in the classroom, in families, and through online venues. Financial education should be informed by the latest financial information, techniques, and research in pedagogy, andragogy, and behavioral economics.
Midas members host savings clubs, workshops, personalized financial coaching and counseling for hundreds of individuals in communities across the Commonwealth. Midas has nationally-recognized expertise in financial education, and has provided research, tools, and training for non-profit trainers since 1999. These strategies increase the quality, coordination, and delivery of advanced financial training, resulting in the improvement of the financial capabilities of all Massachusetts residents. Midas hosts statewide trainings for financial educators from non-profits and financial institutions every year.
Midas members and partners delivered over 60,000 copies of the Midas resource, Staying Afloat: Managing Your Finances in a Changing Economy, throughout Massachusetts Gateway Cities and areas of Boston. The guide provides accessible, Massachusetts-specific financial information to consumers in four languages.
Midas is also the project manager of Invest in College Success (ICS). ICS is an innovative public-private partnership designed to help community college students make informed decisions on how to manage college costs and, in doing so, increase their likelihood of continuing higher education year-to-year and completing a college degree. For more information, check out the current progress report and website.
Midas assisted in forming The MassSaves Coalition, formerly the Massachusetts Financial Education Collaborative, a consortium of 150 engaged public, private, and non-profit entities working to ensure that all residents of Massachusetts have access to high-quality financial education programs, information and materials. Midas hosts the Mass Saves website to provide financial educators with quality curriculum, research, and methods, and for the general public to find on-line resources and local training.
In 2008, Midas's Executive Director wrote the comprehensive guide "Expanding Financial Skills in Low Income Communities; A Framework for Building an Effective Financial Education Program", published by Massachusetts Community and Banking Council.
Financial Planning
To combat the overwhelming effects of an increasingly complex economy, Midas members also facilitate financial planning programs to coach and mentor community members in partnership with the Financial Planners Association of Massachusetts. The Skill Up, Team Up Project pairs financial educators with financial planners, to ensure that the best practices in financial education and planning, based on professional skills and cultural competence, are shared with investors in Lawrence, Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston. In turn, the use of these strategies supports participants as they take the steps to build and maintain their financial position and to insure, invest, and protect their assets through their whole life-span.

Scott Weiland: 'People Weren't Buying' Stone Temple Pilots With Chester Bennington
In a new interview, Scott Weiland says that people aren't buying into Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington as the frontman.
In a new interview, Scott Weiland says that people aren't buying into Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington as the frontman.
Stone Temple Pilots recently regrouped with Chester Bennington to continue writing for their next album.
Linkin Park's Chester Bennington spoke with 'Loudwire Nights' host Full Metal Jackie about the more aggressive direction their 'The Hunting Party' album takes.
With their new 'High Rise' EP due out next week on Oct. 8, Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington recently hit the late night circuit to perform a new song for the masses. Last night (Oct. 3) on 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,' STP with Bennington at the helm performed their new track 'Black Heart' from their latest collection of work. Watch the video above to check out the performance.
Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington's involvement with Stone Temple Pilots caught everyone by surprise since the moment Bennington first stepped onstage with the band at the 2013 MusiCares MAP Fund benefit. The vocalist has stayed the course with STP ever since, but what do the other members of Linkin Park think about their singer's decision? Linkin Park's DJ Joe Hahn has spoken out on Bennington's STP venture in a new interview.
As Stone Temple Pilots continue their current tour with Linkin Park's Chester Bennington on vocals, more details regarding the firing of former frontman Scott Weiland are starting to surface.
It's going to be an intriguing fall for Stone Temple Pilots fans if the band's Sunday night (Sept. 1) performance in Los Angeles is any indication. The revamped rock outfit welcomed a handful of fans and media out to their San Fernando Valley rehearsal space for a brief run through of material in advance of their fall tour.
There probably isn't a person on Planet Earth who would've guessed that Linkin Park's Chester Bennington would replace Scott Weiland as the singer for Stone Temple Pilots. Now that a few months have passed by to let that reality sink in, Stone Temple Pilots have announced details of the release of their first EP with Bennington, 'High Rise.'
The legal battle between Scott Weiland and his former band Stone Temple Pilots has played out very publicly throughout the past year after the band fired the former frontman in February and then recruited Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington to join their lineup. Weiland is not about to back down without a fight though, saying that the band will have to buy him out of the "company" in order for him to walk away.
After his firing from Stone Temple Pilots, it's not hard to imagine that there may be a bit of bad blood between former STP frontman Scott Weiland and his estranged band. But how does Weiland feel about STP's newly recruited singer Chester Bennington?
Stone Temple Pilots are not wasting any time putting the wheels in motion with new singer Chester Bennington. The new STP lineup has revealed plans to hit the road this fall, in addition to a new EP to be released on their own label due out around the same time.
Many music fans were surprised last weekend when Stone Temple Pilots not only played a secret gig with Linkin Park's Chester Bennington as their new singer at the KROQ Weenie Roast in Los Angeles, but also released a new song called 'Out of Time.' But perhaps no one was more surprised than original STP frontman Scott Weiland, who was apparently fired from the band earlier this year.

Spring 2013 Internship Portfolio
About Me:Welcome to my site! I am currently a Broadcasting student at Messiah College, near Harrisburg, PA looking forward to graduation in December, 2013. Throughout my undergraduate experience I have pursued breadth over depth. My experiences in radio and television have helped me understand the bigger picture. I have benefited from a variety of experiences including working in the college radio station, studying at Temple University for a year, and taking on internships in radio, news television. This spring, I interned with Philadelphia's Sports Radio 94 WIP in their sales department and over night talk programming. This was my first foray into sport radio and sales. It has helped me better understand the responsibilities and goals associated with running a local sports radio station.
My Interests:My extracurricular interests include reading, writing, playing piano with friends, watching, listening to, and broadcasting sports on the radio, and playing rare strategy board games. Most of all, I enjoy reading books of all kinds with some emphasis on Christianity and Science Fiction. I enjoy spending time and connecting with people especially in small group settings.
Aspirations:I am excited to start life after school. I am very interested in producing breaking stories on the national level for television and would like to work in a newsroom after graduation. I also would like to get an MBA eventually and work in management, operations, and finance. I enjoy the intersection of business and content creation and would like to gain more experience in this area.

Just like in the movie world people look for the next exciting book they can read, enjoy and share with friends, expressing the parts that stuck out the most to them. In picking books people have certain things that attract them to a book purchase, may it be the book cover, the synopsis on the back of the book, or a friend telling them it is a must read book. Every author that writes a book, tries to make it as interesting as possible in hopes to generate multiple sales.
These sales can come from their publishing company pushing the book, promotional surges from other sources, word of mouth from readers, and so on. These are all key elements to the book's success, as well as the author taking the initiative to promote themselves to further their own success. Each writer that puts out a book has a vision, or a direction they are trying to go in, so they must be able to convey this by getting out their and allowing people to know them as well as their product.
Ty Marshall has started showing the world his vision, through networking and allowing people to get a good feel on what his book is all about. A book that will have many people speaking on his ability to capture situation directly as they have happened, then flipping it to a point that it becomes a page turner for his readers.
Born in Baltimore, Maryland and raised in New York, has given Ty Marshall different avenues to write about, avenues that have made him one of the hottest new writers in the Urban Fiction category. The depictions of the street life he has, allows Ty Marshall to write from a real place of experience, so it is not over exaggerated and seeming unreal to readers.
Some authors try to write about things they have never experienced, making their books laughable at times, to the people that have really (or) still do live that lifestyle. The credibility has to be there, because it's a lot of situations that represent the need for the writer to connect to readers, so the best way is to write about real situations, that others or going through. This allows for readers to connect, then become fans of writer's works, in a "I have to recommend this book" type of way.
Ty Marshall recently joined the "Official Writers League", where he can continue to demonstrate his top levels of story telling. With the help of "Official Writers Founders Ashley & JaQuavis, Ty's novel "Eat, Prey And No Love", is scheduled for release 2014.

Hook Norton is a village in north Oxfordshire, near the Warwickshire border, on the edge of the Cotswolds. It lies between the market towns of Banbury and Chipping Norton. In the centre of the village is St Peter's Church, a largely 15th century church of Norman origins that features a 12th century chancel and an unusual 11th century font. The church also houses an 18th century hand-pumped fire engine. Hook Norton has a village shop and post office, as well as a park and 4 good food pubs. It is particularly famed for the Hook Norton Brewery which is one of the last surviving Victorian breweries. Beer is still delivered in the village by horse drawn dray. The Brewery Visitors Centre is open on Saturdays and tours run Monday to Friday. The village once had many thriving ironstone quarries, and nearby there was an ironstone mine. The railway that took away their product has gone, but tall stone pillars which supported two viaducts remain in the valley to the south of the village. Hook Norton hosts an annual charitable music festival every July - Music at the Crossroads - at Ferris Hill Farm, located behind "The Gate Hangs High" Pub on Banbury Road.

Shane Mosley didn't win against Canelo Alvarez, in the main support bout to the Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto feature bout on Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, but he did win back some fans who didn't think he gave the best account of himself against Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Canelo got more than many folks who thought Mosley was damaged goods coming in bargained for, as he needed to work the whole twelve against the oldster. After 12, the judges, bless them, didn't screw up, and awarded Canelo a UD, 119-109, 118-110, 119-109.
This was a rock solid win over a Mosley who, indeed, looked to be at 100% for this fight. Canelo after to Larry Merchant said that it was great experience, the "beginning" of his career. Was it an audition, a winning audition, for a Mayweather fight? Yes, he said, he's ready for Floyd, Cotto or Pacman. Shane joked that kids are now beating him up. He said Canelo's defense is good, he's "pretty quick," he has great composure. "He can go a long ways," he said. He said it may be time to hang em up.
Mosley (46-7-1; age 40; from Pomona, California; six time, three division champion) was 154 pounds , while WBC junior middleweight champ Canelo (39-0-1; age 21; from Mexico) was also 154 .
Manny Steward said he thought Mosley would give a good account of himself in this match before the first round, for the record. He was spot on, though CompuBox said Canelo outlanded Shane, 252 to 100. That doesn't take into account Mosley's heart, which had him in Canelo's face to the final bell.
Jessie Reyes, CJ Ross and Glen Trowbridge were the judges, by the way. We said a prayer they wouldn't screw up before the first bell. It worked, apparently.
In the first, Canelo waited and assessed. At 1:30, he started to jab. Mosley didn't look all that crisp, maybe he would get lubed up. Mosley landed ten, while Canelo landed 11. In the second, Canelo landed lead rights. His hook got cooking, and he closed distance, unafraid of Mosley's power. In the third, Mosley looked to land a little jab. A one-two showed that Shane's reflexes had dimmed even more than before. A cut opened from a butt, on Canelo's left eye, on the lid. His corner said the cut was no big deal. In round four, a mean round two made the crowd buzz. It was patient round for Canelo. It was a tight round. "I need you to bring the energy, Shane, like you want this thing," trainer Naazim Richardson told Mosley.
In the fifth, Canelo got cooking at 1:30. His hooks had the crowd buzzing. Mosley was right there, in the pocket, not running. Canelo had the power punch edge, 26 to 11, in that round. In the sixth, left hooks to the body, and right crosses were landing clean on Shane. In the seventh, Mosley didn't back off, though he was getting tagged a bunch. After the round, Richardson said, "That's your best round."
That was not encouraging. In the eighth, Shane bulled him, tried to blunt him. He threw a shoe-shine combo, circa 1998, and the crowd liked it. He was busy and energetic, good stuff from Shane, though Canelo landed more power shots, according to CompuBox. In the ninth, Canelo ripped with body shots, getting himself more room to work. Mosley, bless him, hung tough. "If you got something left, you gotta put em together," Richardson said after.
In the tenth, Shane used his legs more. He showed solid energy, but did get tagged in the last third. In the 11th, Mosley still edged forward for much of the round. In the 12th, Mosley came forward, threw one-twos. He ate, but bless him, he wasn't huffing that hard with a minute left. We went to the cards.
You never know in Boxing but I hope that was Shane Mosley's last fight. I gave him the first round but that was it. I give him credit for competing with the young kid, the rounds were not close but Shane was hanging in there. No shame. I'd like to see Alvarez fight Cotto. That would be a war.
i gave shane 3 rounds. he took some shots but he came back with vigor and aggression a few times like the old shane and i was happy to see that.. i think he can retire happily with this performance as he felt he didnt leave anything in the gym... a few of those rounds i gave to shane due to sheer activity, canelo didnt throw punches for up to a minute a few rounds, then he tried to flurry a few times and landed a few but that doesnt earn a 3 minute round...
shane needs to train and stay within boxing since he loves it so but he should hang em up and stay in the gym with the kids...hope he can find peace there..
oh, also, shane was by far the smaller man he is in no way a junior middleweight...
What a warrior Shane is for hanging for 12 rds...that super slowmo replay of Canelo's hook to the body was brutal. I agree though, lets hope Shane does the smart thing and hangs 'em up. I like your idea for a Cotto/Canelo fight too Roast!
you couldn't be more right about that Ultimo, a normal human couldn't take that type of assault to the body and just stand there like he didn't feel it, Shane was trying to play it close to the vest but his elbow kept dropping to the same spot everytime Canello buried his hook there, .... At this point in his career, the biggest quality he has left is his ability to take huge punishment and remain perpendicular to the canvas.
Hope he doesn't become a stepping stone. ....... I mean become even more of a stepping stone than he already is.
I just hope I don't see this brother on ESPN "Friday Night Fights" or Shobox. He was a human punching bag last night and his punches were "pitty pat" punches with no power behind them. This is when boxing needs a commission to make boxers such as Mosley, Taylor, and Holyfield hang up their gloves! I'm from L.A. and grew up watching Shane. I have played pick up basketball with him before and he is a very down to earth well mannered individual. I think he is probably sticking around because of the divorce and child support that he has to pay. Last night was sad, the only positive thing that I can say on behalf of Shane is that he has one of the best chins of this generation!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Attacking midfielder Craig Hignett bagged more than 20 goals as Barnsley made the play-off final against Ipswich Town at Wembley in 2000. Hignett scored a wonder goal in that game but the Reds lost 4-2. The former Middlesborough star was later sold to Blackburn Rovers for £2.25million. Hignett is fondly remembered as one of the most creative, flair players to ever wear the red shirt of Barnsley. His cheeky Scouse accent has made him a popular TV and radio pundit since retiring from the game in 2007.

Canada's Senate more diverse with first members of Filipino and Vietnamese heritage
By Staff
Torstar News Service
Senator Thanh Hai Ngo came to Canada after the fall of Saigion in 1975.
A banker with a university degree from the Philippines, Tobias Enverga moved to Toronto in 1981 and started at the bottom, in the Bank of Montreal's mailroom.
Enverga describes himself as just an ordinary guy, who had never been an active Conservative party member or campaign fundraiser.
That's why he was shocked to get a call from the Prime Minister's Office this fall about his appointment to the Senate as the first Canadian senator of Filipino heritage — a symbol of the growing clout of the Filipino community, Canada's top immigrant source country over the past two years.
"I was so surprised by the appointment, because I am just a regular folk," said Enverga, 57, who is nevertheless in GTA's immigrant community for his involvement in the Canadian Multicultural Council, Asian Heritage Month celebration and the Philippine Independence Day Council.
News of Enverga's appointment was splashed across Canada's Filipino community media, from the ABS-CBN television broadcast to The Philippine Reporter, all hailing its historic and symbolic significance.
"It's long time coming and the community's expectation is high," said the Reporter's managing editor, Mila Astorga-Garcia.
Enverga isn't the only new senator making history. Thanh Hai Ngo, a former teacher from Orleans, Ont., became the first person of Vietnamese descent appointed to the red chamber. Ngo, too, came to Canada as an adult.
The son of a diplomat, Ngo was educated at the Paris-Sorbonne University and was working in South Vietnam's foreign affairs department in 1975 when his country was taken over by the Communists.
"Nobody expected its fall. All of a sudden I was stateless in Bangkok," recalled Ngo, 65, who fled to Canada with his wife and two children with help from Canadian diplomats.
It took Ngo months to get his foreign credentials recognized before he started a career in teaching.
"There was no program then to help refugees and new immigrants. You didn't know what to do to find an apartment or get a job," said Ngo. "I ended up working at an optical factory here."
He retired from his career as a math and French teacher in 2002, when he was appointed to the Employment Insurance Board of Referees and later as a Citizenship and Immigration judge.
Both rookie senators have been invited to celebratory parties and town hall meetings across the country. Although they represent all Canadians, both are proud to serve as the voices of their communities in Ottawa.
Enverga, who left his jobs as an IT project manager at BMO and Toronto Catholic school board trustee for the Senate, said promoting an inclusive Canada, immigrant issues and protection of migrant workers are on his agenda.
Ngo, who plans to create a paid student internship program for Vietnamese-Canadian youth with the Vietnamese Association of Toronto, said he has set his eyes on promoting human rights and freedoms in Vietnam.
"As immigrants, we have to be flexible and adapt to our new home," said Enverga. "We have to keep working hard and come together as one to make sure our voices are heard."
Avant sa nomination au Sénat, Thanh Hai Ngo était juge de la citoyenneté. Il avait été nommé à ce poste en décembre 2007. Il a aussi occupé les fonctions de président du Conseil arbitral de l'assurance-emploi à Ottawa.
Monsieur Ngo a immigré au Canada en 1975. Il a ensuite milité pour la liberté, la démocratie et les droits de la personne pour les citoyens de son pays d'origine.
Le nouveau sénateur a été très impliqué dans diverses communautés vietnamiennes du Canada. Il est le fondateur et l'ex-président de la Société vietnamienne de résidence à but non lucratif d'Ottawa. Finalement, il a été président de l'Association communautaire vietnamienne de la capitale et cofondateur de la section canadienne du Comité international pour un Vietnam libre.

College Hockey:Five-Goal Third Ends Winless Streak For Big Green
Jessiman Hatter Keys Offense Against RPI
HANOVER, N.H. — Dartmouth broke its five-game winless streak — including four straight ECAC losses — and finally asserted itself against a conference opponent, using a five-goal third period to send Rensselaer packing without a point.
Freshman phenom Hugh Jessiman used an empty-netter to complete a hat trick, to go along with his helper on one of Kent Gillings' two goals.
"I felt very good about our team all night," head coach Bob Gaudet said after the pivotal victory. "We had to weather the storm, they were a good team. The harder you work the luckier you're going to become."
Nick Boucher also became the all-time winningest goalie in Dartmouth history with his 41st, breaking Gaudet's school record.
"I felt like it was going to come," Boucher said. "Now I just have to pad it — put some distance between me and coach," he added with a smile.
Dartmouth came out hot in the first period. Jessiman rifled a tape-to-tape pass to Gillings, who cashed in the favor at 7:20 by one-timing it into the upper-left corner of the net. Gillings' eighth goal was Dartmouth's first of the weekend.
Jarret Sampson powered a shot towards the net that Jessiman craftily deflected past unsuspecting junior goaltender Nathan Marsters to give the Big Green a 2-0 lead.
The two-goal lead nearly became three when Chris Snizek took a breakaway from the blue line toward the net, but waited a bit too long to unleash the backhand.
RPI resigned itself to just icing the puck for relief from Dartmouth's relentless offensive pressure.
Hustling to get to the puck behind the net, Jessiman turned around and nearly gave Sampson an easy one-timer, but Marsters was as surprised as any when he took the puck out of his glove.
The second period was a different story entirely. Mayhem broke out at 6:04 when Conrad Barnes knocked Boucher over, starting a melee behind the net. Barnes was subsequently tagged with two penalties, while several other roughing penalties balanced out the two sides (although RPI's entire second line sat next to one another in the box).
The Big Green could not convert its power play, and just as the penalty boxes emptied, Jessiman was sent to fill a seat for slashing. RPI assistant captain Carson Butterwick made a game of it on the Engineers' power play, taking the rebound of his own missed one-timer and hitting the open net.
Shortly after, some more hitting-after-the-whistle penalties were dished out, and the open ice favored Dartmouth as the home team recorded multiple quality chances and RPI struggled to clear the zone.
Once the Engineers broke loose, however, their forwards again got behind the Dartmouth defense and drew a penalty. Dartmouth lost its edge with its best defender Trevor Byrne in the box, as the Engineers' other assistant captain, Scott Basiuk, slapped one through traffic and past Boucher.
While Dartmouth had a man advantage, Boucher had to bail his defense out with a tremendous save on a two-on-one, and followed it with two more acrobatic stops on RPI breakaways, literally the lone leg of support for the Big Green.
"Those are the times I have to come up with a big save," Boucher said, "I think that was a turning point."
The Engineers' ability to consistently break away from the Big Green defense led to yet another Dartmouth penalty. However, Dartmouth dominated the offense during RPI's man advantage.
Neither team could muster a momentum-swinger, so they took a break locked at two after two periods.
On a delayed penalty early in the third, Dartmouth hit a post, but instead settled for a two-minute advantage — and used just seven seconds of it. Lee Stempniak fired in a rebound from the left wing, 13th of the season, to put Dartmouth ahead by one.
Max Guimond, on a superb individual effort, knocked the left defender's stick out of his way, skated across the crease and slipped a backhander behind Marsters to give Dartmouth a two-goal cushion. Guimond's tally turned out to be the game-winning goal.
Jessiman picked up his second goal and third point by outskating two RPI defensemen and the goaltender. The phenom got to the puck off a Sampson chip and put it into a wide-open net as Marsters dove back hopelessly.
Sampson, Gillings and Jessiman — together for the first time all year — played remarkably well together. Sampson finished with four assists, while Jessiman and Gillings were both a game-high plus-four on the night.
RPI poised itself for a comeback when Kevin Croxton beat Boucher glove-side at 13:32. Boucher settled down and Dartmouth coasted the rest of the way.
Although there was no whistle when Jessiman was assaulted on his way to the net, looking for the hat trick, Gillings had his back. The co-captain knocked in a loose puck for his second of the night at 17:47 to put Dartmouth up three.
The Engineers pulled Marsters despite the insurmountable deficit, and Jessiman took advantage by picking up his hat trick at 18:45 and tying Stempniak for the team lead in goals at 13.

Clinical Investigator Resource Core
The Clinical Investigator Resource Core (CIRC) provides services and information for all clinical and translational investigators at both UT Southwestern and the Center for Translational Medicine's Partnering Institutions. Its purpose is to provide assistance in research protocol IRB submissions, conduct pre-reviews of regulatory documents, and support education regarding regulatory requirements.
Basic Consultative Services
Free of charge, the CIRC provides:
- General information or brief consultation regarding availability of resources and services to support clinical and translational research,
- Education and training in meeting regulatory requirements for clinical research, and
- Pre-review* of investigator-prepared regulatory documents: a review of all draft documents prior to submission to the IRB to ensure that they are complete, correct, and consistent (please log in to the eIRB site to access pre-review).
*Pre-review includes a comprehensive review of all draft documents to assure they are completed correctly and that the information presented is consistent among the study documents. In addition, the protocol review includes analysis of the research question(s), background information (previous work, literature references), use of a study drug or device, comparison to standard of care, use of a placebo, inclusion and exclusion criteria, recruitment procedures, data collection, risks, safety precautions, protection of confidentiality, potential benefits, and biostatistical analysis. This review is done to assist investigators in presenting complete, accurate, and thorough applications prior to submission to the IRB. Review is of full board, exempt, and expedited submissions. A pre-review usually takes less than two business days and typically results in a significant decrease in the time required to attain final approval of the protocol.
Intermediate Consultative Services
For a fee, the CIRC provides:
- Preparation of regulatory documents for submission to the IRB and the sponsor (generally this requires about ten hours for a typical, uncomplicated, industry-sponsored protocol),
- Preparation of regulatory documents for submission to the IRB for an exempt or expedited study (generally this requires about six hours for a typical pilot study), and
- Preparation of, or guidance concerning, budgets for research studies (generally this requires about five hours for a typical industry-sponsored protocol).
Advanced Consultative Services
Increased fee structure; time estimates vary depending upon the complexity of the protocol.
- Preparation of/comprehensive consultation regarding an Investigational New Drug or Investigational Device Exemption to the FDA
- Protocol development and consultation
- Preparation of study initiation documents
- Preparation of regulatory binders
- Preparation for an FDA audit
- Other complex regulatory activities or filings

The NFL fined New Orleans Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro $17,750 for a horse collar tackle on Carolina running back DeAngelo Williams, according to a league source.
Officials penalized Vaccaro early in the first quarter in last week's 17-13 loss in Carolina for a personal foul on Williams. Vaccaro was also penalized for taunting Williams on the same play.
The Panthers loss wasn't kind to Vaccaro as the Saints' medical staff carted off Vaccaro after sustaining a fractured fibula later in the first quarter. He landed on injured reserve Wednesday.
It's the second time Vaccaro has been fined by the league this season. He picked up a $7,875 fine for a late hit on Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan in Week 1.

Burlap seems to be THE fabric of the season for wedding linens. Within the past 48 hours, three brides have chosen The Linen House burlap for their weddings. Friday's bride, holding her nuptials in Memphis, will use burlap sashes to decorate her chairs. Tied vertically on folding garden chairs a burlap sash (see photo left) is an easy way to introduce this hot new look. Next in the door, came the mother of the groom hosting an October wedding reception in Columbus, TX at the new Industrial Country Market. Tables will be scattered around the grounds of this alternate energy educational facility, where they will be dressed in burlap and set with fine china and crystal. Finally, a third wedding will feature burlap and cinnamon bichon tablecloths accented with aqua organza overlays to bring their rustic elegance theme to life. It seems every person who walks in the door at least considers using burlap in some capacity.
Burlap is a loose weave fabric made from the jute plant grown in India and Pakistan. The jute fiber is made from the outer layer of the stem, stripped by hand, washed and dried in the sun. Once at the fabric mill, machines transform the raw material into jute yarn where mechanical looms weave the fabric. Burlap has many uses, and therefore many different qualities. Because burlap is a 100% natural fabric it is completely biodegradable. Burlap, or Hessian Cloth as it is sometimes called, makes excellent material for many applications outside fashion.
We are familiar with the burlap bag that holds grains and produce for shipping and then finally makes its way to sunny picnic scenes where children have long enjoyed 3-legged or sack races. In industry, burlap may be spread over fresh cement to keep it from drying too quickly. In horticulture, burlap can serve as a wind-break or a cover in the garden to protect delicate seedlings. Look under your sofa and you may see burlap webbing supporting the springs that make your furniture sturdy and comfortable.
I often look at imported products and wonder if the producers in far off lands know how the fruit of their labor impact lives half-way around the globe. From the jute farmer outside Calcutta to the fashion-forward bride in Texas, it seems we are all connected in our ever shrinking world.

About a year-and-a-half ago, Harvard Law School student Jeremy Blachman outted himself to the New York Times as the author of the satirical Anonymous Lawyer, the popular blog that mocks large-law firm life.
Now, Anonymous Lawyer, the book, will be published on July 25 by Henry Holt & Co. To promote the book, Blachman has launched www.anonymouslawfirm.com, a killer (and amazingly voluminous) spoof of the big law-firm Web site.
The site includes a full list of attorney bios. There's associate Steven J. Axelrod, who "served as articles editor for the Columbia Journal on Law and Sports, and finished third in his section's moot court competition his 1L year." Axelrod's practice areas: "Document Review" and "Citation Checking."
In "Firm News", there's an item from May 24, 2006: "The wife of associate Paul Steinberg (New York) has filed for divorce from her husband after eight years of marriage." Then there's a story from May 1, 2006: "Anonymous Law Firm named the top firm in Bosnia — for the third year in a row!"
Under "Recruiting": "We look for associates who have what it takes to succeed here: a hearty work ethic, a keen understanding of the law, an eye for detail, an ability to be influenced, a heart of stone, and a lack of outside interests and pursuits."
There's a "summer program" page, in which the firm explains, "We'll give you the chance to work on assignments associates have already completed, pretending we'll be relying on your work." It adds: "Then we'll let you know what it's like to be a real associate, when we insist the assignment we gave you was a completely different one from the one you did, and we'll make you stay all night working on the new one."

Let's face it ladies, living in a woman's body and dealing with its issues can be frustrating. There are many unpleasant health conditions exclusive to women. Not only that, but men can make us feel downright inferior when we are going through them. All mood swings are not due to that time of the month, fellas! There are times when a critical man is quite deserving of a woman's wrath, health issues aside.
Women begin dealing with health issues at an early age.
Mom or sis shows you how to handle your monthly "friend" and it escalates from there. I never did understand why this abomination is called your friend. It's anything but friendly. Whoever coined this phrase obviously never had a visit from this particular friend.
It's possible to relieve the symptoms of the monthly cycle with a few ingenious tips.
Believe it or not, ice cream is one of them. Do buy the vegan type. Be kind to other animal mommies too! The calcium in ice cream can take the edge off woman's health issues such as bloating, fatigue, food cravings, mood swings and even water retention.
Vitamin E and Omega 3 have been shown to reduce menstrual cramps by as much as 60%. Check with your doctor for safe dosages of these supplements. To relieve the remaining 40% of your cramps, use aspirin or ibuprofen. Unlike acetaminophen, these reduce inflammation as well as relieving pain, making that time of the month a little easier to take.
One of the most inconvenient woman's health issues is heavy menstrual bleeding. It can be relieved through the use of supplemental iron. Have your doctor recommend the proper dosage of iron after checking iron levels. Too much iron can cause other woman's health issues as well.
Dandelion tea fights bloating. Try St. Johns wort for mood swings. Both of these supplements for woman's health issues are readily available at grocery, drug and department stores, near the pharmacy. Check with your doctor before adding any supplement to your diet.
Yeast infections are another issue women commonly face.
These are not contagious but cause an overwhelming itch and sometimes a whitish discharge and odor. Remedies for this annoying problem is readily available over the counter in drug and department stores.
What if it comes back?
If there's a recurring problem, it may be wise to cut back on sugar, which feeds the yeast. Yeast infections are sometimes caused by antibiotics taken for another illness. Talk to your doctor if this occurs. It's also wise to keep dry and never use douches. Douches can disturb the PH balance of the vagina and cause additional woman's health issues.
Hot flashes can be controlled with soy supplements or by adding soy foods to your diet.
It's best to stay away from alcohol, which may bring on hot flashes. It's said that hot flashes can also be averted with yoga and deep breathing. You may be tempted to head for an ice pack but think again. Although this brings temporary relief, it may actually trigger the body to warm up even further.

A study in which respondents report their own behaviour. For example, in self-report studies of criminal behaviour, respondents are asked to declare if they have committed criminal offences. Self-report studies are often done for comparison with official records. A self-report study is used where the point of interest is in comparing official or organizational records with alternative measures of behaviour. Examples include research on physical and mental health, and voting behaviour. Self-report studies are particularly prominent in research on crime. The validity of official criminal statistics is limited by omissions and bias; a self-report study offers the promise of data free of these problems. For example, respondents may be asked if they have committed offences during a set period (often the past 12 months) and, if they have, how often. Self-report studies are conducted using self-completion questionnaires or by interview (Jupp, 1996). The research instrument is usually a list of ...

Have you ever spent two hours in a traffic jam, endless seminar, or dealing with tech support on the phone and thought to yourself, "Well, that's two hours of my life I will never get back again"? That's what going to see Darren Aronofsky's "NOAH" movie, which opened in theaters on March 28, 2014, is like. The aspiring-to-be-controversial movie is too dull for controversy and fails on so many levels in spite of stars like Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone, Emma Watson, and Russell Crowe.
Rock People
A movie which has major star power and epic end-of-the world destruction is brought down to a 10-year-old boy's level with moronic rock people called "Watchers" which appear in scene after scene and even help Noah build his ark. Failure #1. To add insult to injury, Aronofsky had to conjure up a ludicrous mythology behind the "Watchers" which is failure #2.
What Genre Is It?
If the embarrassing rock people are fit only for 10-year-old boys, much of the rest of the movie is too violent for that age. Adult themes and rock people do not belong in the same film together unless a writer has the talent of J.R.R. Tolkien or C.S. Lewis. Aronofsky does not. Failure #3 would be trying to cram too many opposing elements into one movie and creating a confusing mashup of epic-sci-fi-Bible-juvi-ecco-adventure-fantasy and unintentional comedy farce.
Where's the Beef?
The movie is a preachy film which was failure #4, but not preachy Bible, like one might expect. No, it is preachy environmentalism. Noah is a card-carrying vegan who won't even let his young son pick a flower and who blames the "technology of the cities" (you know, technology like tents, spears and magic fire rocks) for all the evils of the world.
Daddy Dearest
Speaking of children, this Noah won't let his sons have wives, lets a young girl one son is trying to rescue die, and repeatedly threatens to kill his grandchildren so the earth can be "pure." Failure #5.
Who IS this Noah? He certainly isn't the Noah of the Bible, but worse, he isn't a very interesting or likable Noah. Even Russell Crowe could not breathe life into this confused, isolated, alienated, depressed, veggie-eating Noah, which is too bad. Russell Crowe is a fine actor, but even the combined talents of Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone, Emma Watson, and Crowe could not bring this uninspiring movie to life. "NOAH" is an epic fail.
If you want to know the real story of Noah and the ark, read Genesis chapters 6 - 9.

I have to prove that as $m \mid 2n$ then there is a subgroup of $D_n$ with order $m$. How can i do that ?

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Hint: $D_n$ is generated by a reflection $s$ of order 2 and a rotation $r$ of order $n$. See what kind of subgroup orders you can get from forming subgroups generated by powers of $r$, either including or excluding $s$.
Thanks. As $m \mid n$ then $\langle r^k \rangle$ is such a group as $mk = n$. Further we have the case $m = 2m'$ and $m' \mid n$. If $m'k = n$ then $\langle r^k, s \rangle$ is a group with order $m$ because it consists of the elements $r^{lk}$ with $l \in \{0,\cdots,m'-1\}$ and $sr^{lk}$ for those $l$. Thus there are $2 m' = m$ elements in this subgroup.

CHASE MANHATTAN BANK v. SAILBOAT APARTMENT CORP. , 429 U.S. 911 (1976)
The CHASE MANHATTAN BANK
SAILBOAT APARTMENT CORP. et al
No. 76-126
Supreme Court of the United States
November 1, 1976
On petition for writ of certiorari to the District Court of Appeal of Florida for the Third District.
Summary Disposition of the Court.
The petition for certiorari is granted, the judgment of the District Court of Appeal of Florida is vacated, and the case is remanded for a determination of whether petitioner has waived the protection of the venue provision of the National Bank Act, 12 U.S.C. 94. See National Bank of North America v. Associates of Obstetrics and Female Surgery, Inc., 425 U.S. 460 (1976).
Mr. Justice STEVENS, with whom Mr. Justice BRENNAN joins, dissenting.
The Court's action in this case is not supported by the precedent on which it relies. In National Bank of North America, the Utah Supreme Court erroneously held that 94 was "permissive and not exclusive." We remanded because that court had not reached the waiver issue in its previous opinion. In the present case, however, the state courts have given no explanation for their rejection of petitioner's venue claim. A remand in this case can only rest on the unwarranted assumption that the state courts relied on some ground other than waiver. The pres-
umption, however, should be that the state courts recognized and relied on the strongest argument in favor of their holding, in this case, the waiver argument.*
I am therefore unable to concur in the Court's summary action in this case. Since this case is unworthy of plenary review, I would deny certiorari.
[Footnote *] The waiver argument is based on the conduct of petitioner's alleged corporate alter ego. Apparently the Court finds some possible merit in this argument; otherwise, it would simply reject the argument summarily as it did the "local action" argument in National Bank of America, supra, at n.*.
