To start with, get up before daylight and have a good breakfast. The earlier you get started celebrating the better.
Wear your cutest outfit and have another equally as cute in reserve in case there are any mishaps. You must look good all day, there will be many photo opps and many adoring admirers with camera phones. You will be on Facebook before the party is over.
Endear yourself to everyone who comes in the door with your best smile, especially those relatives you've never met before who drove 4 hours to attend your party. They got up earlier than you did.
Rearrange all the decorations as many times as you can before they are eventually moved out of your reach. That's so much fun.
It's your party, cry if you want to, but not for long and always come back with a smile.
Look at but do not touch the burning candle on your birthday cake. Use your newly learned blowing skills for this Kodak moment. Your daddy will assist you with this required birthday party maneuver.
Look sweetly teased when everyone sings Happy Birthday to you, then clap for yourself along with everyone else. Yeah you!
Don't be afraid of party horns. They're just paper that rolls out when filled with hot air and not meant to scare anyone. Your older cousins will love them.
Try to sit still in one place while you open your presents. Everyone will be watching to see you open their gifts.
Enjoy the festive wrappings as much as your presents.
Try out every new toy. Be sweet and share them with friends and cousins who want to play with them too but whose parents told them not to.
Ignore gifts of clothing. This is probably the only birthday party where you won't mind getting clothes as gifts until you're a teenager. But, your momma will love them and you'll look so cute.
Take a nap if you feel like it. The party will continue without you.
You don't have to like icing, but it's actually okay to get it all over you on your birthday. Someone will want to take a picture of you wearing icing on your cute outfit or in your hair and ears.
It's okay to let the dog lick icing off your fingers and toes.
It's even okay not to like birthday cake, though you someday will. The dog does.
Make sure you pose with both grandmothers for birthday pictures.
When tired with the whole thing find a granddaddy who looks comfortable to relax with for a few minutes.
Don't worry about remembering who came to your party….everyone signed your birthday book.
It's your lucky day! One-year-olds don't get birthday spankings. They get hugs and kisses. XOXOXOXO
Keep smiling even when your parents and grandparents shed a few tears because they can't believe it's your birthday already. They'll want to reminiscence about the day you were born, so bear with them.
Wave bye-bye to everyone when the party's over.

The following are presentations and resources from the second national forum of the Migration and Child Welfare National Network (MCWNN), The Intersection of Immigration and Child Welfare: Emerging Issues and Implications. The forum was held April 1-3, 2008, in Chicago and convened professionals from the fields of child welfare, immigration, law, policy and advocacy.
Download the conference proceedings
April 1, 2008
Participants discussed case scenarios, provided by International Social Service - USA and Bridging Refugee Youth and Children's Services, that involve an essential interagency component. Case examples included refugee or asylum applications, family reunification, intercountry custody and home-study issues. The cases involved individuals or families in need of a range of resources from a wide variety of agencies. Specific attention was given to how agencies can collaborate with each other across disciplines to resolve complex cross-border issues.

Download the Immigrant Legal Resource Center Youth Handbook.
Safety, permanency and well-being are three conceptual measures built into today's child welfare law and practice. How can these principles be applied on behalf of undocumented children in need of child welfare agency services and to the immigration proceedings they face? How might child welfare agencies better identify and help address immigration issues affecting abused, neglected and abandoned children? How can immigration attorneys and child welfare attorneys effectively collaborate in connection with juvenile court and immigration proceedings affecting the same children? This session examined these and related issues and provided information on advanced resources useful to child welfare workers, lawyers and others who work in both "systems."

April 2, 2008
This session highlighted important issues, lessons learned and key practices related to the case of a 15-year-old foster youth and the work resulting in reconnection and reunification prospects with his family in Mexico. The case study also included reflections on promising practices in San Diego County and collaborations between Casey Family Programs and the Child Welfare Services Office of the International Liaison. Participants gained a broader understanding of some of the transnational, socioeconomic, cultural and linguistic considerations involved in this and other cases involving permanency planning across borders.
In this session, leading national experts on the intersection of immigration and child welfare discussed the current state of empirical knowledge concerning immigrant children and families who have come to the attention of child welfare systems. The panelists presented the results from recent national, state and local studies, and discussed the needs and direction for future research. Implications for using this research to inform practice were also presented.

This session explored federal immigration and child welfare legislative developments that could occur between mid-2008 and the end of 2009 and that could positively affect immigrant children and families in need of child protection and child welfare services. It also examined an agenda for potential changes of state child welfare laws and regulations that would enhance service provision to immigrant children and families.
April 3, 2008
The National Forum included a joint session with the National Immigrant Justice Center and the Immigrant Children Lawyers Network, which brought together professionals from the legal community and child welfare agencies to focus on issues that affect them both within the arena of immigration and child welfare.
Over the past year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has intensified immigration enforcement activities by conducting several large-scale worksite raids across the country. From an in-depth study of three communities, this report details the impact of these raids on the well-being of children. The report provides detailed recommendations to a variety of stakeholders to help mitigate the harmful effects of worksite raids on children.

The Socratic dialogue format uses a hypothetical case history and a cross-disciplinary team of panelists who discuss how they would act in complicated situations when the "right" choices are not clear. The moderator brought up interwoven ethical, legal and public policy issues and encouraged panelists and the audience to explore complex, vital issues, including the quality of representation in the juvenile system; the value of collaborative courts; and the ethical obligations of defense counsel, prosecutors, judges and child welfare workers to provide services to a vulnerable population. This presentation reviewed a case scenario to demonstrate the various perspectives and issues that come into play when an immigrant child enters the child welfare system.

A nod to the past is making office wear a blast. Looking professional should be stylish, not stodgy!
Tie-neck blouses and high-waisted skirts and pants are back—and as cool as ever. Today's takes flaunt the same feminine swagger of the original Charlie's Angels era, but with finer fabrics and sleeker sleeves and hems. Tone down an up-to-there front slit with menswear-style shoes and socks.
Top, M Missoni, $565. Skirt, Stella McCartney, $695. Hat, Lola Hats, $280. Earrings, Gucci, $2,100. Bag, Chanel, $2,900. Socks, Falke, $36. Shoes, Marc by Marc Jacobs, $390
Cathrine Wessel
It's impossible to go wrong with this classic combo. Plus, it goes with most of the shoes and bags you already own!
If there's a trend everyone can pull off, it's this one. Pretty much any mix of black and white solid separates works. Or add a new graphic print. There is every variety, from bold to dainty, from pixelated to polka dots, in dresses, skirts and tops.
Dress, $1,950, and sunglasses, $275, Marc Jacobs. Gloves, Portolano Products, $180. Bag, Tory Burch, $625. Shoes, Bettye Muller, $385
Clashing is in! The souped-up look of assorted prints lets your free spirit soar.
Multiple prints make for a rich look the way a mix of textures does, but without the bulk. To help eyes take in the whole view, stick to varying shades of three colors or fewer. Or put together pieces from only one designer's line. On days of crazy confidence, add a bold necklace, but keep the jewelry to that one piece. Then balance the ensemble with a simple bag and shoes.
Blazer, $796, top, $557, and skirt, $451, Suno. Necklace, Sequin, $250. Bag, Michael Kors, $595
Great news: The color that is everywhere looks good on all types of complexions. Get ready for the compliments!
Cherry, ruby, raspberry—consider your red of choice insurance against bad days. You can't help but feel energized by such a cheery color! A knit top will flatter your face (like lipstick) and carry you through the darkest days of winter; wearing it with more red only multiplies the happy effect.
Sweater, $345, shirtdress, $325, hat, $60, and boots, $295, DKNY. Bag, J.Crew, $178. Bangles, M.C.L by Matthew Campbell Laurenza, $1,295 to $1,795 each
Back in a big way, the uniquely feminine fabric reveals your sweet and sexy sides.
There's nothing old-fashioned about today's lacy styles. The stuff of veils and trim now adorns mod dresses, blouses and skirts, and comes in a wide spectrum of colors, even colors as out-there as neon blue. A fine-gauge design is daintiest; an open weave (with more see-through potential) is bolder but still elegant. Want to play up your funky side? Wear a bright layer underneath.
Dress, Asos, $170. Wide bangles, Chanel, $825 to $1,250 each. Skinny bangles, Lisa Freede Jewelry, $38 to $42 each
Show off your confidence and your love of color. Step aside, boring black trousers!
To get the most mileage out of bright pants, choose a fabric you can wear now and through winter: cotton or a nylon blend rather than heavy wool. In a basic color such as red, blue or green, your pants will get along great with most solids—there are no bad color combos—or go bold with a wild print or color blocking on top.
Pants, $338, and top, $398, Jill Stuart. Sunglasses, D&G Sunglasses, $160. Cuff, Paige Novick, $563. Bag, Tod's, $1,295. Shoes, DKNY, $275
Charcoal, taupe, slate, smoke: Choose any of the grays for the most versatile neutral of the season.
When you're trying the head-to-toe gray trend, mix several shades. Use dark grays strategically wherever you'd like a slimming effect; opt for light tones to showcase your assets. Black can't do that!
Dress, Calvin Klein Collection, $2,495. Cuff, Robert Lee Morris, $550. Bag, Calvin Klein, $188. Tights, Fogal, $43
Being your most charming is a breeze in feminine shapes that are refined without losing their sense of fun.
Was it Mad Men that brought back this style? Or Michelle Obama? Who cares? It makes everyone look pretty! Bright tweeds, nontraditional plaids and contemporary cuts do away with any quiet-and-retiring vibe. In addition to skirt suits, you'll see plenty of tailored dresses and skirts featuring demure lengths.
Jacket, $1,920, sweater, $635, and skirt, $795, Alberta Ferretti. Bag, Marc Jacobs, $1,295

ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A rail line between the New Hampshire communities of Ossipee and Rochester is getting $1.4 million for repairs and upgrades.
Last year, New Hampshire's congressional delegation urged the U.S. Department of Transportation to support a grant application for the New Hampshire Northcoast Railroad Project, which will allow the railroad to expand its freight service on the line and operate it more efficiently.
Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter, who announced the grant Thursday, said the line connects to the national freight rail network via Boston and is a vital transportation link for New Hampshire.

I need help "Back Ribbing" on Dog sweater.

I need help "Back Ribbing" on Dog sweater.
Hello, I'm very new to knitting and decided to take on a dog sweater after doing a basic scarf from the " I taught my self how to knit kit, by BOYE". I'm fairly done because I will not be adding the pocket that goes on the back of the sweater. Ok, now that I have filled everyone in here's where I'm stuck at.
Finishing: Sew neck seam to markers.
Back Ribbing: With RS facing, MC and circular needle, pick up and knit 33 sts along body from marker to back. K26 from spare needle dec 3 sts evenly across. Pick up and knit 33 sts along opposite side of body to marker. 89 sts. Join in round, and placing a marker on first st, proceed as follows:
Next round: Purl
Next round: Knit
Rep last 2 rounds 3 times more. Cast off purlways.
ok, that's the next section I'm working on. I'm stuck because I'm not sure if they are telling me to sew the neck seam 1st then proceed with the back ribbing or the back ribbing is the direction for the sewing of neck seam. Then, I don't understand none of the second part, lol. I'm not sure if they are saying pick up and knit 33 sts on the circular needle and if so which way am I knitting? Vertical or horizontal? I see my marker but what do they mean along the body to the back? Then I have no clue what to do with the spare needle, it says knit 26 from spare needle, where am I knitting to, the other side or along the circular needle?
Now let say what I have tried and thought it was so wrong. first I tried with a straight needle(plus I didn't have a circular needle), I picked up and knitted 33 stitches, then I started with the ribbing, p1k1, did that for 3 rows and noticed that the pattern was sideways.
I took the sideways part out and made my own circular needles using a small old phone cord (I didn't need), some dowels, glue and tape and a small screw driver. I have tried to do exactly what is says but it still comes out sideways.

Kevin: The Muslim Brotherhood, who took power in Egypt following the Arab Spring, were recently ousted by the Egyptian military and declared a terrorist organization. Even still, they have been embraced by President Obama, invited into his administration, placed on a "hands off" list protecting them, and are even setting up their own official political party here in the United States. Unfortunately, the Muslim Brotherhood ultimately seeks to implement Sharia law, and to convert or kill every Christian and Jew that doesn't share their faith. It should be remembered that while the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama showered them with praise and provided billions of dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes. Egypt hasn't forgotten the support offered to the Muslim Brotherhood by Obama, and has now charged Obama and Hillary Clinton for conspiring and collaborating with them and their terrorist activities. "In two separate criminal complaints, Egyptian lawmakers have charged Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton with conspiring with the Muslim Brotherhood. President Obama has been named as an accessory to crimes committed by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, with the charge reading that Obama "…cooperated, incited, and assisted the armed elements of the Muslim Brotherhood in the commission of crimes…". Some of the crimes include murder, rape, torture, extortion, bribery, enslavement, and the ethnic cleansing of Egyptian Coptic Christians. According to one of the criminal charges, Hillary Clinton was found to be working with ousted Muslim Brotherhood president Mohammed Morsi's wife, Naglaa Mahmood, in attempting to overthrow the current leader of Egypt, General Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi. Naglaa Mahmood has openly admitted that her relationship with the Clintons dates back to the 1980's, and she has hundreds of recorded telephone conversations with Hillary and other White House officials. There is also a charge that Obama and Hillary attempted to bribe the Muslim Brotherhood with $8 billion to turn over part of the Sinai Peninsula to Hamas, in order for them to launch attacks against Israel.

But his recent remarks comparing Meg Whitman, his Republican rival in the governor's race, to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels showed that his penchant for the off-the-cuff comment can get him in trouble, as the lit-up blogosphere and screeching Drudge Report headlines proved over the weekend.
"There's going to be a Macaca moment sooner or later that's going to catch up to Jerry if he doesn't watch his mouth," said Garry South, a Democratic consultant, referring to
U.S. Sen. George Allen's use of a racial slur --caught on video -- that is believed to have torpedoed his 2006 re-election bid in Viriginia.
"He's not running for poet laureate, he's not running for court jester or the state's official philosopher," added South, who ran Gavin Newsom's short-lived gubernatorial campaign against Brown last fall. "He's running for governor and that requires message discipline. He can't just be out there shooting his mouth off and thinking it's really cute, clever and entertaining."
Asked Tuesday if he regretted comparing Whitman to Goebbels, Brown told reporters at the Silicon Valley Leadership Group in Mountain View: "Jogging in the hills with sweaty strangers will no longer result in conversations," referring to the Goebbels remarks he made with a KCBS reporter during a jog in the Oakland Hills.
Brown said also he had spoken with representatives of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. He said they "completely understand."
His comment about Goebbels, supporters say, merely meant to convey his disdain for Whitman's consultant-driven campaign and her carefully hewed, poll-tested message that voters see repetitiously through tens of millions of dollars in political advertisements. Goebbels, the minister of propaganda in Nazi Germany, was known for perfecting the "Big Lie," which if repeated enough would be believed by the masses.
Even during the primary, Brown made clear that Whitman's campaign spending -- and the message machinery that it bought -- would be an issue, and often he would punctuate his criticism by mocking the amount she spent on consultants.
Whitman, the billionaire ex-CEO of eBay who spent $71 million of her own wealth in the GOP primary, just dumped another $20 million to kick-start the general election campaign with Brown.
Meanwhile, Brown is waiting for autumn before he begins spending the $20.6 million that he's raised -- eschewing high-priced consultants and media strategists and making his frugality a central theme to his campaign.
His bare-bones operation is aided by his wife Anne, a campaign manager, a spokesman and a handful of full-time volunteers. With an aversion to paid consultants and strategists, Brown is well known for calling his own shots, writing his own scripts, and saying what he damn well pleases.
Voters appreciate the frugality and candor, said Joe Tuman, an expert in political communication at San Francisco State, but it will mean nothing, if Brown undermines his own message with gaffes.
"Part of the appeal for voters who want change is his willingness to be honest," Tuman said. "But there's a difference between being honest and saying things in your honesty that distracts people. You better only say things you're prepared to have broadcast and in print."
With so many means of capturing and distributing almost every utterance by public officials or candidates, Brown is going to have to show a lot more self-control than when he ran for governor in the 1970s, or even when he last ran for president, in 1992, said Bill Whalen, a former speech writer for ex-Gov. Pete Wilson and fellow at the Hoover Institution.
"As a candidate you have to be wary all the time," Whalen said. "You can't let your guard down."
At his meeting with the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, Brown made an offhand joke -- to great laughter in the audience -- that he'd tell them about his government spending plans "after the election." Within the hour, the Whitman campaign had posted the blurry footage on YouTube and complained that Brown was not providing specifics about how he would govern -- hopeful the video would detract from the green tech jobs initiative he announced the same day.
Mike Murphy, Whitman's chief strategist, said that Brown's Goebbels' comment showed "he has a certain lack of precision and discipline. It sends a message that he's not disciplined, not focused. He's a one-man band who values glibness over focus and substance."
To friends, Brown's outspokenness is "just an indication that he's the real deal," said Darry Sragow, a Democratic consultant who has run three gubernatorial campaigns and two senate campaigns. "He revels in being his own person. He tells you what he's thinking. I've always found that refreshing."
Still, Sragow said, his "willingness to be transparent doesn't give him license to say things he lives to regret."
Brown understands the risks of being glib, said Sterling Clifford, Brown's spokesman.
"There's always a potential to say things that will upset people, but I think he's always felt that's a worthwhile trade-off," Clifford said. "He's always been an accessible guy and he's always willing to share his thoughts. We definitely feel the authenticity of Jerry is advantageous and is what people are looking for."

PPARC starts to identify its priorities
May 19, 2000
Astronomers and particle physicists in the UK have presented their funding agency, the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC), with a long - and expensive - list of priorities for the next 10 to 20 years. With the top priorities budgeted to cost a total of £124m over the next three years, PPARC must either convince the government to increase its current budget of around £200m, or make some difficult decisions. At an event to launch the council's long-term science review earlier this week, chief executive Ian Halliday admitted that "PPARC will have a pretty rough year." The priorities have been identified by four panels that covered particle physics, particle astrophysics, astronomy and solar system science.
The particle physics panel identified three projects related to the Large Hadron Collider - a 14 TeV proton-proton collider that is due to start in 2005 at CERN - as top priority. These were a computational grid to handle the data from the LHC, an increase in human resources for experiments, and increased support for theory. Accelerator R&D for a proposed neutrino factory was the other top priority. The second group of priorities included accelerator R&D for a future linear collider and further R&D for new technologies and detectors.
In the field of particle astrophysics, a series of missions and experiments to study the cosmic microwave background, gravitational waves, dark matter, cosmic and gamma-rays, neutrinos and black holes have been identified as top priority.
In astronomy the top priorities included the Atacama Large Millimetre Array, participation in the European Southern Observatory (of which the UK is not a member), involvement in the Next-Generation Space Telescope, further development of the SCUBA detector, R&D for new technologies and facilities, and increased human resources. Ian Halliday is due to fly to Munich next week to start official discussions about the UK joining ESO. He said he felt there was "serious chance of success".
Priorities in solar system science fell under two headings: understanding the origins and evolution of the solar system, and understanding the influence of the space environment on Earth.

Lem's latest: Magomed Abdusalamov out of coma
Heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov has been taken out of a coma and out of the intensive care unit, according to his promoter.
Heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov has been taken out of a coma and out of the intensive care unit, according to his promoter.
Paulie Malignaggi and Zab Judah will meet in Saturday's clash of Brooklyn natives. Sixteen boxing experts are split over who will win the showdown between the veteran two-division titleholders.
Two-division titlewinners Zab Judah and Paulie Malignaggi, who will fight in their native Brooklyn on Dec. 7, recently turned 36 and 33, respectively. When they meet on Dec. 7, the loser's career may well be at an end.
Zab Judah once coached Paulie Malignaggi as an amateur but he will fight his fellow two-division titleholder as a professional in their native Brooklyn at Barclays Center on Dec. 7.
The promoters of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Bryan Vera are targeting a Dec. 14 date for their rematch. Chavez won a controversial 10-round unanimous decision this past Saturday.
As part of the wrap-up to last Saturday's majority decision by Floyd Mayweather Jr. over Canelo Alvarez, Showtime will air the final episode of All Access: Mayweather vs. Canelo.
Zab Judah will attempt to restore his "Super" nickname against RING champion Danny Garcia, a fighter who is 10 years younger. Seventeen boxing insiders give their picks on Saturday's Showtime-televised junior welterweight championship.
Echoing the famous words of Mike Tyson, Danny Garcia says his opponents "think they're going to beat me until we get into that ring. Until they get hit."
Danny Garcia on Zab Judah's perceived advantage in the ring: "When you get hit, it don't matter how much experience you've got. If you can't take the punch, that's the only thing that matters."
Brooklyn native Zab Judah to Philadelphia's Danny Garcia: "When you come into Brooklyn, you have to show some respect. Take your ass whooping and head down I-95."
Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer contends that Ricky Hatton still is deserving of a rematch with Paulie Malignaggi despite Saturday's knockout loss to Vyacheslav Senchenko, whom Malignaggi stopped in April.
Bob Arum on Jimmy Kimmel's spoof of Manny Pacquiao: "Something like that is so invaluable in promoting a fight. It gets to an audience that isn't necessarily into boxing. There's no telling what effect it has."
Having endured past issues with depression, including suicidal thoughts, former titleholder Ricky Hatton says he's already won the battle whether he wins or loses Saturday night's welterweight clash with Vyacheslav Senchenko.
Retired former titlewinner Rafael Ruelas and his older brother, Gabriel, also an ex-beltholder, will be honored on Saturday night in Studio City, Calif., by their former promoter, Dan Goossen.

How do you add the color? I'm trying to use the pen tool but it's just too complicated and messy.
haha I use the little red nubby thing in the middle of my laptop's keypad. What I do is I crank down the hardness of the brush and turn the opacity to about 25 or 30 to do the shadows on the characters and objects, and if I need a sharp corner I'll use the magic wand tool to select just that section of the line art and color in there. I rarely use a hard-edged or full-opacity brush. And I've never used a tablet on a 50last comic (yet).
But how do you color in? Not the shadows, just the basic color. You just pressed this "red nubby thing?"
eh, no, I meant I don't use a tablet or a mouse-- my form of control is the little red dot in the middle of my laptop keyboard. (You had asked about a tablet, so I assumed you meant form-of-input.) I use photoshop to color everything in. I don't really know how else to explain it. I do the drawing by hand and do all the black in their uniforms with sharpie, and then I just use photoshop on the rest of it, like gradient fill and what I described before.
How did you trace the characters?
Or did you do everything beforehand?(as in no computer)
Or did you do everything beforehand?(as in no computer)
I'm not sure what you mean. I drew all the characters first and then scanned the drawing into photoshop to add the color and background.
I decided to only fav the season front pages because else it would just be too friggin' much! So here it is: my fav!!!
Stormtroopers carrying American flags??? lol.
I only just noticed CB in the background.
The CB thing is just hilarious, he always seems to freaking happy all the time to me. (Even though he's a card board cutout.) I love Rebb Al and his shirt.
what can i say, other than i love it! haha. love CB looming in the background. so cool. ^^
What ever happened to MV? He must be too depressed to join the group photo huh? Did you mean to leave him out? I like the group pics btw!

Owing to spiralling fuel prices, companies are cutting travel spends.

The Americans - TV Review
Right from the beginning of the pilot episode, The Americans kept me hooked throughout the entire first season telling the brilliant story of two KGB spies posing as an ordinary couple in the old 1981 America. The show received positive feedback from the audience thanks to Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys' terrific performance of playing the roles of the two badass Russian spies who made every one of those thriller, suspense, sex and violence-filled episodes more than entertaining.
The most compelling fact that kept the interest throughout the show was that it wasn't just another spy show meant to praise the US. Instead of a predictable story about two American spies, this show focused around two Russian spies who works against the USA. It was truly amazing how Joe Weisberg created these two characters who lives insanely dangerous lives while running a travel agency as a cover and with an FBI agent (Noah Emmerich) living next door.
As a big fan of noir-films and spy related shows, I couldn't' ask for more with The Americans. It was seemingly perfect in every way. However, the ending of the relationship between Elizabeth and Phillip was a little disappointing as it progressed at a fast pace. It doesn't make sense that they decided to end a decade long cover story over just one lie, in the middle of the first season. They could have at least dragged the story for couple more seasons. The disappointing love story aside, the show was brilliant. I certainly enjoyed their constant change of appearance for different missions and how they made changes to their lives for a mission.
I wonder if this how those expert international private investigator companies like Wymoo do their secret spy work. I bet their investigators must be even better than the Jennings couple, because doing spy stuff in real life is not as easy as it seems. Either way, I definitely liked the way "The Americans" balanced intense drama, action and suspense all together, bringing the show to the level of one of the best anti-hero TV shows I've ever seen.
I'm really looking forward to see what The Americans have in store for us in the upcoming season. If you haven't seen this show yet, I highly recommend you to try it, as it will keep you coming back for more at the end of every single episode. That's a promise.

Hi ya!
There is an Hitachi SH3 EBX 7709 for sale in Ebay:
Its coming with loads of things including an LCD and a sound card
which got me thinking about a HiFi MP3 player.
I have not done any CE work before and was wondering if any one knew
of a way to attach an IDE hard disk to this platform. I know I can buy
off the shelf PC104 cards, but as far as the OS goes, will it
automatically recognise it, like a full windows version?
Also, does any one know if this platform has enough oomph to run a
software MP3 decoder?
Thanks in advance,

The most accurate way to compute the PE ratio of an index ETF like WisdomTree India Earnings (EPI) is to first obtain the PE ratios of the component stocks and then compute a weighted sum of the PE ratios based on the index weight of each component to arrive at the overall PE of the ETF. In the case of WisdomTree India Earnings (EPI) most 3rd party sources will not have the correct PE ratio listed in their system because the ETF holds foreign listed stocks. Moreover, most US based financial sites like Yahoo! and MarketWatch have very poor data for non-US listed securities. Fortunately, Bloomberg's data is pretty good for foreign listed stocks. I pulled the PE ratios of the top 10 components of EPI from Bloomberg and then computed the weighted PE ratio of the ETF using a spreadsheet. The results are listed in the table below.
From my computation, the weighted average PE ratio of the top 10 components is 17.88 according to the Bloomberg PE data. However, the top 10 components only comprise about 43% of the total assets in the ETF. Therefore, the actual PE ratio of the ETF depends on the PE ratios of the other 133 stocks held in the ETF. The complete listing of holdings is at the link below. I did not have time to go through and get the PE ratios for the other components, and I am not sure if Bloomberg would have data for all 133 stocks.
While I tend to believe that the WisdomTree PE calculation of 15.40 as of 12/31/10 is probably correct, if my PE estimate of about 18 is more accurate, I still think that is a great value for an Emerging Markets ETF.

This year's tournament, kicking of Thursday at 4 p.m., consists of five teams with the winner advancing to the Midwest Plains Regional Tournament in Wellington, Kan.
Michael Minner, coach of the Squirrels, likes his teams chances of keeping their streak alive.
"We feel like we have as good of a shot as anybody," he said. "We've won it three years in a row and we're hoping for four. Until somebody knocks us off we go in and approach it as we're the team to beat and that's the way that teams that come down here approach it.
"We're going to see everybody's best pitcher. They want to beat us so we're going to have to defend our home field."
Rounding out the rest of the field will be Jackson, Canton, Mineral Area and Booneville all looking for that one spot in regionals.
Charleston just wrapped up the regular season with a 19-14 mark after starting the season 0-5.
They will take on Kirksville in the second game of Friday's double-header with a scheduled start time of 7 p.m.
Though his team has it's ups and downs this season, Minner feels his team is peaking at the right moment.
"We've struggled a little bit this year throughout the season," he said. "But we feel like right now we're as solid as anybody on the mound and we can run anywhere from four to eight guys out there in starting roles.
"We feel like we're ready to see where we stand against these other teams in the state."
The Squirrels fate the rest of the tournament will depend on how they fair against Kirksville.
If Charleston wins they will go on to play Boonville Friday at 7 p.m. A loss to Kirksville would send the Squirrels to the loser's bracket where they would play the loser of Friday's Mineral Area vs. the winner of an earlier Canton/Jackson contest.
No matter what the Squirrels run in to this weekend, Minner feels there is nothing that a regular season that featured plenty of top-level teams couldn't prepare them for.
"We've faced tough teams where we've seen their good pitching," he said. "We feel like there is nothing that a team can throw at us this weekend that we haven't seen.
"How we react to that will be ultimately up to the kids."

March 4, 1999
Release # 99-072
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), The Walt Disney Co., of Burbank, Calif., is voluntarily recalling more than 1,300 electric waffle irons. The waffle irons are improperly wired, presenting fire, shock and electrocution hazards to consumers.Disney has received one report of a waffle iron catching on fire at the wall socket. No injuries or property damage was reported. The waffle irons were manufactured by Vitantonio Products. The wiring was installed improperly during the manufacturing process. Vitantonio is a former licensee of Disney Consumer Products and is no longer in business. However, out of concern for consumer safety, Disney immediately agreed to conduct the recall itself and provide consumers with an incentive to return the waffle irons. Disney is offering consumers who participate in this recall a $70 gift voucher good for use in The Disney Catalog.The waffle iron is chrome and black. It is made in a "clam-shell" design, and when the top lid is opened, a Mickey Mouse face is revealed on the cooking surfaces, which measure 7 inches in diameter. "Vitantonio Premier Mickey's Waffler The Walt Disney Co." is on a metallic label on the handle. Only waffle irons with three-prong plugs bearing model number 1950 and a serial number in one of the following ranges are being recalled: 17001000 to 17002661 or 46006022 to 46006524. The model and serial number are on a label affixed to the bottom of the waffle iron, along with "Vitantonio ... Made in U.S.A. ... UL 43G5 Listed". Walt Disney World Resorts and specialty kitchen and department stores nationwide sold the waffle irons from October 1996 through January 1997 for about $60.Consumers immediately should stop using the recalled waffle irons. Consumers should contact Disney at (800) 362-4695 anytime for instructions on returning the waffle iron to receive the $70 gift voucher. Vitantonio made a number of other styles of Mickey waffle irons for Disney. None of these products are involved in this recall.

Slow To Register, Part 2
Retail | OH, USA | At The Checkout, Extra Stupid
(We have a self checkout section. Sometimes one of the units won't take money and will only accept cards. When it happens we put up a bright lime neon green sign stating that. A customer comes up to one of these units, then rips the sign off because it was blocking the slot to put his money in.)
Me: "Sir, the unit doesn't take money."
Customer: "Where does it say that?"
Me: "On the sign you just ripped down."
Customer: "I didn't read it."
Me: "Clearly."
(I have to take the cash and use the register at the podium because the customer has no other way of paying. I put the bright lime neon green sign back up and then put another over the main screen saying 'Beep Boop Beep Beep Is Robot For "Does Not Take Cash."')

David Crowder Band Come Thou Fount Lyrics
Last updated: 03/21/2011 12:00:00 PM
Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise mine Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wondering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord, take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above

In the summer, Montreal's downtown core is hopping almost every night of the week. From the Jazz Fest to Just for Laughs to Francopholies, you can basically just wander down and find an evening's worth of entertainment. But when festival season packs up shop for the winter, most people think that the area's nightlife scene disappears with it. But, with a little digging, Montreal's downtown reveals that there's more going on there after-dark than you might think…
In Montreal's downtown core you have several universities and a lot of offices. Combine these two together and it's no surprise that there are an incredible amount of PUBS in the area. But where neighborhoods like the Plateau and Old Montreal have enough bars and nightclubs for every shade of night owl, it takes a little more work to find something different downtown. Here are a couple picks:
Dominion Square Tavern: Known as the Dominion Pub for the last several decades, this beloved downtown watering hole is being refurbished by the owner of Baldwin Barmacie and reclaiming the name by which it was known in the 1920s. The rumour is that it's going to be a relaxed gastro-pub, perfect for a meal or a couple bottles of wine. It opens at the end of November. 1243 Metcalfe
W Hotel: W hotels have become famous around the world as much for their bars and nightlife scene as they have for their rooms. The Montreal W boasts 3 of them: you've got Bartini, the quick-drink with a friend spot, Wunderbar, the W's multi-level flagship bar that is packed with pretty people on Wednesday and Thursday nights, and finally the Plateau Lounge, a relaxed nightlife refuge with DJs spinning Thursday-Saturday night. 901 Square Victoria
Benelux: Did you say beer? I could have sworn you did. Perfect timing on your part, as I was about to mention Benelux, one of my favourite places to get great artisanal beer that's brewed on the premises (do not leave without trying the "Yakima" pale ale). The bar's sleek, open interior is a perfect place for high-end suds- see if you can find Benelux's "secret room". 245 Sherbrooke Ouest
Nyk's: Ok fine, Nyk's is basically a pub, but it's a bistro pub with pretty great food and a top-notch wine and scotch list. Located a short walk from the MACM, this tucked-away spot is a step-up from the sea of pubs that surround it because of the aforementioned food and live jazz that throws down a couple times a week. 1250 Bleury

European Banks, Look How You've Shrunk
At the end of 2012 there were three European banks with balance sheets of more than €2 trillion ($2.72 trillion). At the end of March this year there was just one: HSBC Holdings
The assets of Europe's 50 largest banks shrunk by €3 trillion over the course of last year, and €2.3 trillion of that was jettisoned by the top 15 lenders, according to data from SNL Financial.
HSBC has retained its position as the biggest bank by assets in Europe. But there's lots of change behind it. France's BNP Paribas has jumped two spots to second place, Crédit Agricole Group is unmoved at three and Barclays PLC has climbed from fifth to fourth.
The most dramatic move came from Deutsche Bank. It was the second largest European bank by assets at the end of 2012 but was only the fifth largest lender in the region at the end of March. This was a result of the German bank's efforts to boost its capital by retaining earnings and shedding unwanted assets.
Earlier this month, Barclays announced a similar plan and last week Deutsche Bank pledged to boost its fixed income trading capability, which some analysts believe will lead to a re-expansion of its balance sheet. So, there's a chance that the two banks may swap places again by this time next year.
All of this makes the U.S. banking industry, where the top 13 spots were unchanged over the course of last year, look like a model of consistency.

Why wasn't this disclosed???Violation of SEC too.Is there anything more material than this??? If FDA considers this a drug, which obviously they do, this 'company' is 100% done. Not even a question. Cytori has spent millions of dollars and years of development.
Why would they back down? An inspector did their inspection, made observations, and had question in their mind if this process fits the rule of minimal manipulation. If they question the process, definition fit, then they are probably doing their job to report that. I'm not sure that inspector is the final say of the whole FDA and that is probably where SVFC is going to make its explanation and response. Could it also be a competitor questions the claims of the company and its process to prompt this? The only thing that matters now is the response and outcome. I have not seen one yet.
The FDA conciders it Altered Biologics meaning it requires studies. Any Adult Stem Cells proliferated or altered upon removal require FDA aproved studies prior to approval.
You may be right but reading the web site, I can't see where they are altered? I am no doctor but taking fat tissue, harvesting stem cells and reintroducing that same population of cells into an injury area does not seem to fit the bill as altered or becoming a drug.
Where do you read drug in this? If they are manipulating your own cells? I would be more inclined to believe Cytori is more motivated to inquire the legalities as a direct competitor to this type of treatment?
*Where do you read drug in this?*Uh, where the FDA says it is a drug and doesn't meet the requirements of minimally manipulative.This 'company' will have zero revenue for the next year...if they are lucky. What doctor in their right mind would purchase this machine and then inject an unproven, untested drug into a patient. There is no way their malpractice would cover it.So, they can address their concerns to the FDAs letter. It doesn't make it go away. This will take years to resolve with legal fees and consultants. And who is going to fund this court fight against the FDA? This company has no money. The liability they are already have is enormous. Everyday they do this procedure given the FDA's view that this is a drug only makes it worse.Good night. Let's see what company purchases this shell next.

Thursday, April 29, 2010 2:55 AM
An inmate in a state prison was hospitalized and needed emergency surgery to remove a hot-sauce bottle he apparently had used as a sex device.
Taxpayers will end up paying the prisoner's medical bills, expected to run into the thousands of dollars.
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction won't release the name of the inmate, citing federal regulations regarding the privacy of medical records.
However, a report by the State Highway Patrol, which initially investigated the incident as a rape case, said an inmate at the Noble Correctional Facility in Caldwell was taken to Marietta General Hospital on Sunday evening after saying he had been sexually assaulted in the shower by another prisoner.
The injured inmate later acknowledged that he had not been assaulted, but on his own had inserted the hot-sauce bottle anally, sources said.
"At this point, we don't believe there was a perpetrator involved in the incident," said prisons spokeswoman Julie Walburn.
However, sources said, surgery was required to remove the bottle. The inmate was hospitalized and was treated in the intensive-care unit.
Walburn said the state won't know the total cost until all medical bills are submitted.
State officials frequently point out that the state is required by law to provide medical care for prisoners - even those who harm themselves. The state is self-insured and pays its own bills.
