- Programming languages often consist of a seemingly random usage of parenthesis, brackets, asterisks, slashes, colons and semi-colons.

The End of the Suburbs : Where the American Dream Is Moving

Dispatched from the UK in 6 business days
"The government in the past created one American Dream at the expense of almost all others: the dream of a house, a lawn, a picket fence, two children, and a car. But there is no single American Dream anymore." For nearly 70 years, the suburbs were as American as apple pie. As the middle class ballooned and single-family homes and cars became more affordable, we flocked to pre-fabricated communities in the suburbs, a place where open air and solitude offered a retreat from our dense, polluted cities. Before long, success became synonymous with a private home in a bedroom community complete with a yard, a two-car garage and a commute to the office, and subdivisions quickly blanketed our landscape. But in recent years things have started to change. An epic housing crisis revealed existing problems with this unique pattern of development, while the steady pull of long-simmering economic, societal and demographic forces has culminated in a Perfect Storm that has led to a profound shift in the way we desire to live. In "The End of the Suburbs" journalist Leigh Gallagher traces the rise and fall of American suburbia from the stately railroad suburbs that sprung up outside American cities in the 19th and early 20th centuries to current-day sprawling exurbs where residents spend as much as four hours each day commuting. Along the way she shows why suburbia was unsustainable from the start and explores the hundreds of new, alternative communities that are springing up around the country and promise to reshape our way of life for the better. Not all suburbs are going to vanish, of course, but Gallagher's research and reporting show the trends are undeniable. Consider some of the forces at work: The nuclear family is no more: Our marriage and birth rates are steadily declining, while the single-person households are on the rise. Thus, the good schools and family-friendly lifestyle the suburbs promised are increasingly unnecessary.We want out of our cars As the price of oil continues to rise, the hours long commutes forced on us by sprawl have become unaffordable for many. Meanwhile, today's younger generation has expressed a perplexing indifference toward cars and driving. Both shifts have fueled demand for denser, pedestrian-friendly communities.Cities are booming. Once abandoned by the wealthy, cities are experiencing a renaissance, especially among younger generations and families with young children. At the same time, suburbs across the country have had to confront never-before-seen rates of poverty and crime.Blending powerful data with vivid on the ground reporting, Gallagher introduces us to a fascinating cast of characters, including the charismatic leader of the anti-sprawl movement; a mild-mannered Minnesotan who quit his job to convince the world that the suburbs are a financial Ponzi scheme; and the disaffected residents of suburbia, like the teacher whose punishing commute entailed leaving home at 4 a.m. and sleeping under her desk in her classroom. Along the way, she explains why understanding the shifts taking place is imperative to any discussion about the future of our housing landscape and of our society itself--and why that future will bring us stronger, healthier, happier and more diverse communities for everyone.show more

Review quote
"This book is a steel fist in a velvet glove. Beneath Leigh Gallagher's smooth, elegant prose there is a methodical smashing of the suburban paradigm. When all is done, a few shards remain--but only because she is scrupulously fair. This story of rise and ruin avoids the usual storm of statistics--nor is it a tale told with apocalyptic glee. "The End of the Suburbs" is the most convincing book yet on the lifestyle changes coming to our "immediate" future." -- Andres Duany, founding partner of Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company and co-author of "Suburban Nation" "The book is loaded with fascinating detail wrapped in a vivid story Gallagher creates from behind the scenes of America's greatest promotion: the suburbs." --Meredith Whitney, author, "Fate of the States: The New Geography of American Prosperity" and founder, Meredith Whitney Advisory Group "Leigh Gallagher asks all the right questions and comes up with surprising conclusions in this sweeping discussion of the future of the suburb. Spoiler alert - it's a bleak future for the burbs, but don't panic: Gallagher foretells a new world order where the conveniences of the urban lifestyle rewire our understanding of the American Dream. You'll never look at a cul-de-sac the same way again after you enjoy this book, which is simultaneously entertaining and informative, breezy and analytical." --Spencer Rascoff, CEO, Zillow ""The End of the Suburbs" is a compelling, insightful must-read on what author Leigh Gallagher calls the 'slow-burning revolution' re-mapping the shape of America and its future. Her masterfully-argued case springs to life with both impressive research and empathetic portraits of those seduced and often betrayed by suburbia's promise of a more livable life. Now, where's my moving truck? Oh, right. Stuck in commuter traffic." --Linda Keenan, author and resident of "Suburgatory" "No one knows how American residential preferences will change in the 21st century. But Leigh Gallagher's well-researched and provocative The End of the Suburbs makes a persuasive argument that is difficult to refute. Required reading for anyone interested in the future of the United States." --Kenneth T. Jackson, professor of history, Columbia University and author of the prize-winning "Crabgrass Frontier: The Suburbanization of the United States" "I couldn't put this book down. My readers often ask me, 'What will happen to suburbia once we've all right-sized our homes and communities?' Leigh Gallagher provides the data that I've been looking for, and makes the powerful assertion that our suburbs are permanently changing, not because of the Great Recession, but because of new attitudes about where and how we want to live--which is great news, both for the near term, and for generations to come." --Sarah Susanka, the author of "The Not So Big House" series, and"The Not So Big Life: Making Room for What Really Matters." "The end of Suburbia is timely and important. We should hope it is prophetic, because Leigh Gallagher shows suburbs as we know them are unsafe for our species." --Eric Klinenberg, Professor of Sociology at New York University and author of "Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone" "Through compelling expert interviews, data and trends analysis, Leigh affirms the notion that we've hit 'peak burb.' This book presents a strong case for America's increasing preference for higher density lifestyles and the resulting trend to manage our lives via the information highway, not the paved kind!" --Scott W. Griffith, former chairman and CEO, Zipcar "Have you ever wondered whether the Great Recession will halt the process of gentrification in major American cities? Or what will happen to the empty suburban sprawl that is the result of the housing boom and bust? Or how most of us will live in a world where oil is expensive? Leigh Gallagher's crisp, entertaining, and fact-filled new book answers these questions and many more." --Bethany McLean, coauthor, "The Smartest Guys in the Room "and "All the Devils are Here: The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis "show more

Yeah we are aware of that one. It's a bit close to Cosmonaut but not 100% rip. Ours definitely came first. It's not the first monkey in a space suit design and its a pretty obvious idea so they could argue they just had the idea and it would be hard to prove otherwise.

In one simple, minimalist room, designer Lynn Clarke makes the case for the power of restful sleep.
Whether they're downsizers or first-time buyers coming from their parents' homes or rentals, new homeowners often find themselves having to make do with less space, and turning every space into a multi-functional living area or dining area.
The living room might become the multimedia room and the dining room an after-meal office or headquarters for homework.
But if there's one argument for designating one purpose to one space, it begins and ends in the bedroom. Often, we place our televisions, phone and tablets in bedrooms, add an office space and other distracting visual clutter.
In the master bedroom in one of the two display suites at Tempo, a new Richmond project by Amacon, Clarke shows that adding minimal, soft, moody decor can help create an atmosphere that reflects just one purpose: relaxation and sleep.
Clarke, a designer with Portico Design Group, has covered the bed with a white duvet, softened it even further with whites, creams and greys against a dark wall. The room has no extra shelving or busy wall units to distract from rest.
"As living spaces become smaller, they also become multi-functional. Rooms can have several uses. Often there will be a TV in the bedroom and perhaps the small work space worked in as well.
"If the bedroom is to speak only of relaxation, however, technology should have its own place, separate from the bedroom. Extra pillows, a throw, soft colours and no clutter will all add to a calm and restful feel," Clarke says.
In another small bedroom, Clarke went bright and bold, with grey and yellow-striped wallpaper. Set against neutrals, it adds a bright, colourful optical illusion of sorts.
"By using lighter tones for the wall covering, the space feels more airy and open; the horizontal stripes help give the illusion that the room is wider than it actually is," she says.
In the kitchen, the finishes are muted and sophisticated, and the colour accents barely there.
"Matching the cabinetry and the flooring creates a feeling of more space — something that is very important in condo design."
In the open-concept living and dining space, she decorated to suit the main attraction of the suites: huge windows, offering a view that Clarke says should be treated "as a unique piece of art."
Clarke says homeowners blessed with grand windows would do well to use furnishings and colours that don't distract or stand out.
"Going more neutral (in furnishings) in the space allows you to achieve this," she says.
"(As a designer) you want clients to be able to walk away remembering the great views and finishes as opposed to just what furniture pieces were used."

Question :
I have just recently purchased a 1966 Mustang coupe. This car is equipped with an OEM factory Ford under dash air conditioner, a 289 v8 and c4 automatic transmission. It also has the bench front seat with fold down center and is equipped with factory Ford front disc brakes.
Are these 1966 Mustang coupe options rare, and if so, how rare are these options?
Thanks Bama Boyd Talbert
Answer :
The bench seat option is considered to be a fairly rare option. I say fairly, because out of a total production of 19666 Mustangs of just over 600,000 cars, there were 21,397 1966 Mustang coupes produced with the bench seat option.
As far as cars with a 289 V8 and a C4 transmission there were quite a few. The only way to really find out how many 1966 Mustang coupe options together were produced with the bench seat, factory air conditioning, 289 V8 and C4 automatic and disc brakes, would probably mean ordering up a Marti report on your car.
When you supply him (Kevin Marti) with your vin number, he can look up the original production statistics, as well as all other information particular to your vehicle, including the date it was manufactured and all options that were ordered.

How to Undelete a Google Analytics Account
Disclaimer: The title makes it sound much cooler than it actually is.
Even if you've never seen a single episode of "How I Met Your Mother", I'm pretty sure that you've heard the 2am rule: Nothing good ever happens after 2am.
It's a rule that I bitterly regret not following a couple of weeks ago, when a 2:15 am working spree found me accidentally deleting not one, not two, not even three, but four Google Analytics accounts. They were old accounts, but I still needed them. Like, really, really needed. I can't say the word "really" enough times to adequately express how badly I needed those accounts to not be deleted.
It was, in a word, unfortunate.
I'm not typically one to publicize my idiocy. I usually try to hide it as best as possible. (Even when it's fairly self-evident. Mea culpa.) The reason I'm airing out my immense bêtise is because, happily, there's a fix!
As so many before me have done, in a desperate attempt at salvation, I Googled the problem. For the most part the results only contained partial solutions. But by piecing them together, I obtained the the complete fix. And since I was clearly not the only one who had committed the ultimate Analytics fallacy, I thought I would share the wealth.
The first thing you need to make sure to have is an Adwords account that uses the same login details as the Google Analytics account in question. Without the AdWords account, there's not much you can do. It would appear that Google only publishes contact details for their paid services – AdWords, Apps, and the like. Analytics being free, it's impossible to call Google through the platform. "Don't be evil" my hindquarters…
Log into your Adwords account and note your Customer ID. (The ten-digit code in the top right-hand corner of the page.) Then visit Google's Worldwide Phone Support page and find your country. You could theoretically email or chat with the Googles during normal business hours, but I was feeling much too dramatic and harried to wait for a response that might take days to arrive.
Call Google – if you're lucky you'll get my new best friend David, who was supremely helpful. And extremely talented at deciphering panicked babble. After you outline the issue, you'll receive an email from the Google requesting the UA numbers for the deleted accounts. You must explicitly request that they reactivate the accounts for legal reasons, but after you've responded to the email with the numbers and explicit request, you're done! It takes a couple of business days, but your account(s) will be restored.
P.S. A cautionary word: do NOT keep the number so that you can just call my new best friend David and say hello. Apparently he's a very busy man.

Just wanted to say thanks for this post. It helped me a lot when I was in the smae situation. I felt totally hopeless at first when reading google forums, but thankfully people like you also take the time to post their experiences. I deleted a former client's account instead of just removing myself from it, but when I rang the AdWords team they had it back within the day, about 8 hours. So thanks a lot for sharing and caring!
August 31, 2013 8:13 pm
THANK YOU for this post. I'm immensely grateful for your willingness to post publicly about your, as you put it, bêtise, since your fix saved me!
My own bêtise caused me to become confused by some of Google Analytics' recent admin changes, long boring story omitted leading to my unfortunate deletion of my one and only profile/view (and, hence, all my data) for one of my accounts.
Were it not for your fix, I'd have had to either lose all my data or pay some firm $250 to do what I ended up being able to do myself thanks to your post.
I'd love to make a donation; this really helped me and saved me a lot of money.

Following on from the spectacular successes of our interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Egypt, it is now reported we have troops in Syria* (sic). What the fuckety-fuck? Who the hell in their right mind thinks this is a good idea or anything at all to do with us?
If true, just about everything is wrong with this. First off, there is no actual vote in parliament, just a few tossers sitting in Downing Street** sending people to their deaths and of course to kill others. Then there is the small matter of yet more meddling to no good purpose. Can we possibly afford to become embroiled here? Can we honestly object when some third party starts unilaterally meddling and let's be honest, killing in our country if we do so in theirs?
And last but not least there are reports of Syrian tanks massing on the Turkish border to repel any Turkish attack; meanwhile the Saudis are apparently on high alert to occupy Jordan and parts of Southern Syria as some kind of safe zone. This is almost certain to piss the Russians off in the extreme (this is how the Syrians got the Turkish jet, with modern AA missiles supplied by Moscow). And the Iranians are more or less certain to wind up the militias in Southern Iraq to have a crack at the Saudis destabilising them.
So with this utter nightmare possibly about to kick off what are the UK media reporting? The news that Tom and Katie are to divorce.
No, really.

JOHANNESBURG — Former South African president Nelson Mandela remains in critical condition in a Pretoria hospital, President Jacob Zuma told journalists at a packed news briefing Monday, calling on people to pray for his recovery and the media not to demand details of his treatment or condition.
With South Africans deeply anxious about Mandela's survival, Zuma, and his spokesman Mac Maharaj, called on journalists to respect the dignity and privacy of the former president and his family.
"Doctors are doing everything possible to ensure his well being and comfort," Zuma said.
Mandela has suffered repeated lung infections in recent years, after suffering tuberculosis during his 27-year prison term for fighting against apartheid.

Nikon has set out to widen the full frame DSLR market with a two-pronged strategy embodied in the new D600. Name the two things that work against full-frame DSLRs and they have to be physical bulk and cost. The D600 takes on both of these issues and at first glance it looks like Nikon has hit its targets. The D600 is the smallest and lightest full-frame DSLR yet and it is one the most affordable. Its guide price for body only is under £2,000, which will probably match the discounted pricing of Canon's EOS-5D Mark III. There is no long wait for the D600, either - it ships this week.
Nikon has also been astute in its cost management with the result that the D600 Doesn't feel like a cut price DSLR at all. It has a magnesium alloy dust and moisture-sealed chassis, the same Expeed 3 image processor engine as the D4 and D800, the same high-spec. AF and metering sensors as its higher-spec. siblings, albeit with less AF points from the Multi-CAM4800 39-point AF system, and it has a new 24 megapixel full-frame sensor. Full HD (1080p) video can be recorded in 30p, 25p and 24p, with 60p, 50p and 25p options at 720p. Full HD movie clips can be up to 29 minutes 59 seconds long, and you get both external mic. and headphone ports. Continuous still shooting can run at 5.5 frames per second, while ISO sensitivity can be set to range between 50 and 25600.
Nikon is keen to point out that like its premium siblings, the D4 and D800, the D600 can autofocus with lenses and dim as f/8, meaning you can confidently use 2x converters on f/4 lenses. There is a three dimensional digital level or artificial horizon aid and a port for the new WiFi connectivity is available via the optional WU-1b adapter. There is also a dedicated GPS port for optional geo-tagging with the GP-1 unit. Using an EN-EL15 battery, thanks to new lower power circuitry, the D600 is good for 900 shots per battery charge, says Nikon. You can also shoot about an hour of video on a single charge. A new optional Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D14 and portrait grip has had to be developed because the base of the D600 is too short to accommodate an existing Nikon DSLR grip. Like the D800 you get a 3.2 inch 921K dot VGA screen at the back, but Nikon has not yet been persuaded to provide an articulated screen.
While the D600 is a professional level specification, Nikon classifies it as a consumer camera and it's not supported as a pro model. Nevertheless, Nikon expects a lot of pros to use the D600 and that should be no surprise.
From the outside any Nikon DSLR user should find themselves at home quite quickly with the D600.
At the top you have the audio ports, and below that the mini-USB connector (USB-2.0 - not USB 3.0) that also accommodates the optional WU-1b wireless LAN adapter. Below that is the HDMI port - and uncompressed video out is supported by this port - and on the bottom left is the GP-1 GPS adapter port.
Above all, the D600 is all about improved portability. Only Sony's new Alpha 99 SLT (translucent fixed mirror) full frame system camera beats the D600 in terms of full frame camera weight and the D600 is significantly lighter than the Canon EOS-5D Mark III. Only in depth does the D600's dimensions not show a significant improvement, mainly because there is limited scope with a full frame DSLR mount/sensor plane.
The D600 does feel compact compared to other full frame DSLRs, but if size and weight are high on your list of preferences then the D600 remains a large and heavy camera compared to APS-C DSLRs and even more so compared to Compact System Cameras (CSCs).
While full frame cameras are unlikely to ever be very affordable, perhaps the most compelling attribute of the D600 is its price, which will put a lot of pressure on Canon's EOS-5D Mark II.

Twice a year, the Friends of the Montesano Timberland Library hold a fundraising book sale. It takes about a week to accomplish this sale and many volunteers to put it together. To begin, the Montesano Fire Department volunteers help move large tables from the Odd Fellows/Senior Citizen building to the basement of the library. Next, the County Correctional Trustees help move the 400 or so book boxes (donated by Alice Hutchison, the Avon Lady) out of the storeroom and onto the tables. The following day, a score of volunteers unpack the boxes and arrange the books by category. Signs are put up and the sale runs on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday afternoon, another score of workers pack up all the boxes of books and place them back in storage. These Sunday volunteers include a group of terrific helpers from the Jr./Sr. High School. The tables are folded and carried back to the Odd Fellows building to await our next sale, which will be on May 2 to May 3.
The Friends of the Library would like to thank all the volunteers who make this fundraiser happen, and all the folks who donated books throughout the year. The funds from our sales go toward keeping our local library a vital hub of the community.
Marlene Vahl
Secretary, Friends of the Library

Parokya Ni Edgar
Parokya Ni Edgar is a Filipino band that was formed in 1993 by a group of college students. The band is famous and most lauded for its original rock novelty songs and often satirical covers of popular songs. The band has since transcended musical genres, varying styles from one song to another - alternative rock to pop rock, funk to rapcore, and so on - while providing comic relief to their listeners.

KOLKATA: WHO will step into the shoes of Anil Biswas, the veteran communist who is no more? This is the question plaguing West Bengal's ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M).
The death of the politbureau member and West Bengal party secretary has thrown up twin challenges before the communists — that of steering the party in the coming elections and the long-term task of finding an able successor.

(918) 473-2411 (evening)
Year round, Statewide
Schools: pre-k, elementary, middle, high, special ed, alternative ed
Community Sites: art centers, libraries, parks, senior and recreation centers
Selby Minner is an inductee in the Oklahoma Blues hall of Fame. She is a life time student of the music having been the bassist and singer with OK blues legend D.C. Minner for 31 years. She has performed with Little Johnny Taylor, E.G. Kight, Albert Collins, Hubert Sumlin, Tony Mathews and many more. She loves teaching and the kids she teaches love the electric guitar.
Together with D.C., Selby won an international "Keeping the Blues Alive Award" in Education and has been featured in Living Blues Magazine, Black Entertainment Television and on the Oprah Winfrey Show. The pair performed across the nation, overseas and at home in Rentiesville. The couple's invigorating residencies incorporated numerous curriculum areas including performance, math and history. Since the passing of D. C., Selby can bring in another musician all week and add the drummer on the day of performance so that the students will be able to sing, dance or play percussion (their choice) in a band performance. They wiill also be able to trace Rock and Roll music of today back to its Blues origin.
Learning Goals:
We put on a performance last period of the residency and any students we see each day (target groups) get to be in the show. They dance or sing or play percussion. Skills we develop include:
- Confidence from performing in front of your peers ? this is transferable from music to other experiences
- Working together as a group and rehearsal skills
- Guitarists bring their guitar into school and learn a basic blues progression
- The disciplines involved in creating music ? counting time and memorizing lyrics,expressiveness, improvisation and more
- Decision making ? we work from a sheet of 50 age-appropriate songs, they vote on songchoices, etc.
- Performance skills: using a microphone, projection, appropriate attire, improvising musically and in life

Or maybe its twin, "Ratchet & Clank". Lots of planets, lots of opportunities. Their spaceship could be a separate $20 set. The weapons and gadgets could be either new molds or brick-built. Ratchet could be like Jak and Clank could be brick-built and feature a minifig head.
Or how about Crash Bandicoot? That would be a whacky, fun theme!

You forgot to include Dr. Robotnik!
Anyhoo, the game I'd like to see made into LEGO is.....Okami!
Why would this be a good idea? Because the main minifig would be a wolf!
Here are some ideas I came up with:
Kamiki Village:
Comes with four houses, merchant stall, a big constructible rock that breaks apart and the Konohana tree.
Minifigs include:
Amaterasu (who'd have a slightly bigger dog mold with the red streaks printed on and a stud on the back for the Reflector)
Mr. & Mrs. Orange
Green Imp x2
Red Imp
The guy with the basket on his head (can't remember his name)
IMPULSE - Susano's Training Grounds:
Comes with Susano, Amaterasu and 3 training dummys.
Spider Queen Battle:
Comes with the Spider Queen, Amaterasu, several Konohana Blossoms and a chest which contains "Snarling Beast".
Gale Shrine:
A big windmill with path-changing mechanisms and the circular lift.
Comes with Amaterasu, Crimson Helm (new centaur mold perhaps?), Chimera x2, Waka, Susano and Yatsu.
I have a lot more ideas than that, but I'm too lazy type up all of them.

The carpet guy is Gwonam. It would also need Yoshi, King koopa, The shopkeep, and a Coney Island Disco Palace set with bonus Instruction books and Triforce of courage to protect the king.
Also a Kirby theme:
Green greens = Comes with Kirby, Two waddle dees, and a waddle doo on a 16x32 baseplate with various hills, trees, and such.
Dedede's castle= Includes Kirby, Dedede, Sir kibble, and two Waddle dees in a castle like area with breakable pillars and blocks to throw.
Halberd = largest set, comes with Kirby, Metaknight, Waddle dee pilot ( the one with the hat) two waddle doos, a waddle dee, and a wheelie, on a large playset to resemble the wonderful ship, with the cannon and claw , dynablade, and the heavy lobster.
Maybe some other sets too, like Nightmare, Marx, etc.

I think Zelda would work as a stellar franchise due to the fact that LEGO people would look out of place as the character(also Lego has a ton of swords and shields, so it would be easy)

The NBA has its share of worker bees—players who step on the court night after night and through sheer hard work, determination and effort put up numbers that are surprisingly good. They don't overwhelm you with pretty plays. They impress you with diligence.
These aren't the NBA's elite players. They aren't supposed to be, and they are never going to be. They are players that produce a surprising amount for the time they have their hands on the ball.
Some of these guys are "surprising" just because they're producing more than most people are giving them credit for.
Some them are "surprising" because they came out of nowhere.
Some are "surprising" because we tend to think of them as defensive specialists and they produce more on the offensive end than they get credit for.
With each of them, you'll probably raise an eyebrow when you see what they did last year if you weren't already aware. They are "ranked" in terms of the difference between in the gap between perception and reality.

New Stream's Ex-Employees to Take the Fifth
The feds will decide within six months whether those involved with New Stream Capital LLC will face criminal charges, but until then, founder David Bryson and other ex-employees will be taking the Fifth Amendment and refusing to answer questions about the "hedge fund" operation that dabbled in the life-settlement business, as well as T-shirts, jewelry operations and real estate, court papers say.
The pending criminal investigation means depositions of Bryson and other former leaders, which were set for later this month, can't be held until next year, according to papers filed by Michael Buenzow, the official administering New Stream's confirmed Chapter 11 plan.
"As potential witnesses in the pending investigations, it is expected that the former employees will be instructed by their counsel to invoke their Constitutional privilege," lawyers for New Stream said in Delaware bankruptcy-court papers.
Bryson could not be reached for comment on the prospect of criminal charges, which are not news to anyone following the case. Attorneys for New Stream did not respond to invitations to comment.
New Stream has been under criminal investigation for years, long before it brawled into bankruptcy battling investors who claimed they had been bilked, according to accounts by financial journalist Teri Buhl. The company denied and ducked talk of a probe for a long time, but then the Securities and Exchange Commission spoke up to clue in the judge at the first hearing in New Stream's bankruptcy, commencing the official spilling of the beans.
The approved disclosure statement for New Stream's Chapter 11 plan went into detail, explaining that the company "proactively communicated" with the feds to offer assistance, as one does, after a 2009 report on an "Internet blog" that U.S. law enforcement had initiated an investigation. Besides the SEC, the U.S. attorney's office has been looking over the hedge fund's books, according to documents outlining the plan that was confirmed in April.
Most New Stream investors eventually took what they could get and went away under a Chapter 11 plan that was very different from the prepackaged version the Connecticut company brought with it to bankruptcy last year. This resolved clashes that arose because New Stream first sucked in cash from "feeder" funds in Bermuda, then later through "feeder" funds in the U.S. and the Cayman Islands, and it engaged in a complicated series of restructurings before bankruptcy when cash began running short.
Prime Asset Funding GP LLC is still pressing a claim for $1.8 million in the bankruptcy and says it needs to question Bryson and others about New Stream's affairs. Prime Asset managed a fund for New Stream that collected $23 million in cash in 2008 alone, for a profit of $8 million. Yet Prime Asset says it never received its management fee and would like to know what happened to all the money.
In late 2008, according to Prime Asset, New Stream claimed to have $850 million worth of assets. About $550 million of that disappeared by March 2011, a loss of about $1 million for each business day. Much about the company's finances "does not remotely make sense," according to Prime Asset's lawyers.
Prime Asset wants to question Bryson about the alleged "financial juggling act" that hid the bad news about the drop in value for so long. As to New Stream's underlying business, "none of the debtor's loans would have been made by any other 'legitimate' lender," wrote Prime Asset's attorneys. Among New Stream's borrowers was an ill-fated jewelry venture that licensed the imprimatur of Kathy Ireland. There was a $28 million loan against a 531-acre parcel of unincorporated California desert that had $38 million in debt sitting on it, court papers said.
A big chunk of New Stream's change was wrapped up in "life settlements," or bets that people would die at times that meant a tidy profit for a division that bought up their insurance policies. A "catastrophic" decision by a key industry player to extend its "views on mortality" meant big trouble for New Stream, the company's court documents say. Longer life-spans meant lower profits for the settlement dealers and reduced the liquidity of the portfolio, New Stream has explained. The portfolio was eventually sold.
New Stream says Prime Asset has no claim in the bankruptcy case, as its agreement didn't require ongoing disclosures of its financial condition. In order to squash Prime Asset's claim, however, the company says it needs evidence from ex-employee "witnesses" in the federal probes, who they aren't talking.

Though engineering and medicine still occupy the top spot, law as a career option is catching up fast. It is one of the most rapidly growing professions across the globe. Lawyers are a respected class in the society today.
We come across many situations in day to day life wherein we need legal advice and that is where lawyers step in. United States of America (USA) boasts of some of the best law universities in the world. Some of them are:
Yale University: Yale Law School is located in New Haven, Connecticut. Year after year, it has been voted as the best law school in the states. It offers law education unmatched by any other law school. Highly qualified faculty, small batches, tremendous opportunities for work experience and the constant encouragement by the authorities to use their skills in public make it every law student's preferred destination. Famous alumni include U.S. presidents and many a Supreme Court justices. It is a member of the Ivy League.
Harvard University: Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Harvard Law School is a very highly renowned law school. Its most striking feature is its innovative and learning environment. Again a member of Ivy League, it is flocked by students all across the globe. It has a very wide curriculum and offers more than 250 courses. There are three types of law- business, education and public service. Harvard prepares its students for careers in all the three types. Current president of U.S., Barack Obama, is a graduate of this very school.
Stanford University: Stanford University is located in the state of California. It is similar to the above two universities in all the things, except that it has the added advantage of climate of California. It was established in 1893. Practical education in the field of law giving hands-on experience to its students is its prominent feature. It is also called an alternative law school since students here have to study everything from ancient history to calculus.
Columbia University: Founded in 1858, it is one the finest and most prestigious law school in the United States. Rigorous selection procedure, excellent faulty and outstanding placement record make it one the most sought after law university in the world.
All the law universities offer various scholarships and loan-schemes to help students.

Re: WWE 2011: Pushing the Boundaries
A big thank you to cp for the Smackdown feedback, and any more comments would be very much welcome. But I have decided that I really want to get this going properly and I've written over half of this show already so I thought I'd just stick the preview up, and I am hoping to get it out in less than a week.
Monday Night Raw
August 29, 2011
Resch Center - Green Bay, Wisconsin
Last week, after a huge brawl after the Main Event between John Cena and Kofi Kingston vs The Awesome Truth, involving the four men as well as the WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio and CM Punk; who had had altercations with the combatants earlier in the night. CM Punk was attacked backstage by the troublesome Miz and R-Truth, and after Del Rio interrupted John Cena, his personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez was the ungrateful recipient of an Attitude Adjustment from the Cenation Leader. After the carnage at the end of the show, the WWE COO Triple H announced that the six men will compete in a Six Pack Challenge for Del Rio's WWE Championship at Night of Champions!! There have been criticisms directed at The Game for including Kofi Kingston in the match, but Kingston has asked for a chance to prove himself to all of the critics and show that he belongs in that match, so Triple H thought there was no better way than to face the WWE Champion! Also, the other main event of the evening will be between the other four men involved at Night of Champions, as The Awesome Truth will maybe see their comeuppance at the hands of the two men they have jumped the past two weeks; John Cena and CM Punk. Will the common enemy manage to unite the two men that fought tooth and nail over the WWE Championship at Summerslam? Or will The Miz and R-Truth manage to carry on working as effectively as they have been since joining forces?
The Awesome Truth though will apparently be punished tonight however for their actions these ast few weeks, as was promised by Triple H on Smackdown this past Friday. We have no idea what punishment The Game could have in store but we can promise that The Miz and R-Truth will not like it. "The Boss" will also still be on the lookout for his friend Kevin Nash, who last appeared two weeks ago on Raw, costing CM Punk the WWE Championship. With so many loose ends and unanswered questions around the WWE Championship Match at Night of Champions, hopefully tonight will make things a little clearer.
The past two weeks on Raw, Zack Ryder has managed to earn victories over former World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger. Losing to a man that was not deemed good enough for WWE Superstars this time a year ago and on the brink of losing his job had it not been for a Youtube show doesn't seem to sit well with Swagger. Scott Stanford, Raw's backstage interviewer and also a close friend of Ryder was requested by Swagger to visit him at his home in Perry, Oklahoma, to talk to Swagger, and to also pass on the message that Swagger wanted Ryder in the ring once again this week in Green Bay. But the appearance of Stanford proved to only be a set up, as Swagger then took it upon himself to assault Stanford and then put him in the hospital with a broken ankle following Swagger's devastating Ankle Lock manoeuvre. Swagger has been fined 20,000 dollars for his actions and Ryder will no doubt be on the lookout for some payback tonight.
After defeating Rey Mysterio via dubious means two weeks ago on Raw, United States Champion Dolph Ziggler and his manager Vickie Guerrero have revealed that they have made it their mission to rid the WWE of Rey Mysterio. Last week, Rey managed to get back to winning ways by beating Drew McIntyre one on one, despite being taken to the limit by the wily Scot. This week, Ziggler will team up with McIntyre to face Mysterio and the man that McIntyre has been having problems with these past couple of weeks on WWE Superstars, Alex Riley! Not only is this a good chance for Mysterio to prove that he is worthy of the United States Championship Match he desires, but for Mcintyre and Riley to lobby their claim to a match for the gold. Which of these two competitive teams will come out on top?
Despite everything that Beth Phoenix has done in order to get the Divas Championship Match she "deserves", which include defeating the champion's best friend Eve, as well as pinning the champion last week on Raw, "The Glamazon" was still denied a match at Night of Champions in her hometown of Buffalo by Smackdown General Manager, due to her actions OUTSIDE of the ring since Summerslam. Tonight, Phoenix will be in action, and I'm sure that she will be looking to make another Diva the victim of the devastating Glam Slam.
Last week, one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, David Otunga defeated one of his and Michael McGillicutty's opponents at Night of Champions, Santino Marella; albeit by dubious circumstances after McGillicutty inserted himself into the match illegally. This week, it is McGillicutty's turn to face Santino's tag team parter, "The Moscow Mauler" Vladimir Kozlov. What with the roll Kozlov has been on since returning to the WWE, could the 3rd Generation Superstar be in trouble tonight in Green Bay?
Confirmed for Raw:
Non-Title Match:
WWE Champion
Alberto Del Rio vs Kofi Kingston
John Cena & CM Punk vs The Awesome Truth
Jack Swagger vs Zack Ryder
United States Champion
Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre vs Rey Mysterio & Alex Riley
Vladimir Kozlov vs Michael McGillicutty
Beth Phoenix will be in action

NEW YORK (WOMENSENEWS)--In the borough with the city's highest maternal mortality rate, two women in labor in August died at Jacobi Medical Center, a public hospital in the Bronx, N.Y.
Days later, health authorities closed a highly regarded maternity care center nearby and shifted patients and staff to Jacobi, a decision that has riled health and community activists.
"As a doctor, I know you don't practice medicine by telling your patients, especially pregnant women, to take a bus to another hospital," said Frank Proscia, executive director of Doctors Council, which represents doctors working in the hospitals, at a public rally in September.
Giving staff and patients just three days' notice, North Central Bronx Hospital ended after 36 years its maternity care services on Aug. 12. All of the hospital's maternity care services, including a prenatal clinic, were transferred to Jacobi Medical Center, a 10-minute-taxi-ride away but at least 50 minutes for those relying on public transportation.
Health care activists, union members and community leaders have held rallies, organized press conferences and pressured local public officials to return maternity services to North Central, known for its quality of maternity care, and to advocate for pregnant women of all economic backgrounds across the city to have access to better health care.
Anthony Feliciano, director of the Commission on the Public's Health System, said in an email interview that the commission is aiming to catalyze a coalition of community members and labor union members, including parents living in Northwest Bronx, to demand labor and delivery services be reopened at North Central.
"There must be a solution that improves labor and delivery services for the entire North Bronx community that goes beyond hiring more staff," Feliciano said.
Organizers also are pushing for the midwife model that excelled at North Central to become the standard in maternity care across New York's hospitals.
With over half of the hospital's patients on Medicaid or uninsured, North Central was recognized nationally for its high-quality midwifery practice that served many minority, immigrant and low-income women.
In 2002, North Central received the American College of Nurse Midwives' award for innovative and compassionate midwifery care practices.
Highest Death Rate
The Bronx--with a population that is 53 percent Hispanic and 43 percent African American, according to Census data--has the highest maternal mortality rate in New York City with a rate of 34 deaths for every 100,000 live births, according to a 2010 report from the city's health department.
The neighborhood surrounding the North Central hospital had a maternal mortality rate that was less than half of the neighborhood to its north (23 deaths for every 100,000 live births compared with 57.8), according to the city's 2010 report.
Citywide, in 2011, the most recent statistics available, Hispanic women's maternal mortality rate was 24 per 100,000 births and black women's rate was 46.5, according to a report by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. That year, the nationwide figure was 21 maternal deaths per 100,000 births.
In 2008, North Central had the lowest Cesarean-section rate--15.9 percent of all births--among all the hospitals in the city. In 2009, however, the hospital's midwife services were drastically reduced. By 2011, the C-section rate climbed to 25 percent of all births, according to the New York State Department of Health.
The World Health Organization recommends a C-section rate of 15 percent. Cesarean sections increase the risk for embolisms, infection and hemorrhage and thus add to the mother's risks for death or significant harm.
Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC), the New York City public hospital system that manages both North Central and Jacobi, stated in the closing notice that by transferring all labor and delivery service to Jacobi alone, where almost 2,000 babies were delivered last year, the agency will "be better able to target resources and ensure optimal staffing to provide the most comprehensive, safe and efficient model of inpatient obstetrical and gynecological care for our patients."
Increased Safety Risks
Proscia, of the Doctors Council, criticized that decision at a Sept. 4 rally in front of Jacobi. "Instead of addressing safety concerns as they occur, HHC has made a habit of creating emergencies as a way to justify cutting services at the expense of patients," he told a crowd of dozens.
The decision to send pregnant women who were receiving care through North Central to Jacobi represents an abdication by hospital managers and puts mothers and their babies at even greater--not less--safety risks, Proscia said. "You don't practice responsible patient care by eliminating services to the most underserved in our communities."
Community groups say Jacobi's maternal care services have been plagued by poor management and severe understaffing for years. Mothers have been separated from their babies for several hours and there aren't enough rooms to accommodate the extra patients.
Jacobi Hospital and the hospital corporation's press office have not returned calls requesting comment.
"Also problematic," said Proscia in an email interview, "is the fact that there is a lack of senior experienced doctors in obstetrics and gynecology." He also expressed concern that Jacobi no longer has a program for residents, the young doctors who are often on call and provide the most direct patient care.
The 100 nurses who were transferred from North Central to Jacobi haven't had time to adjust, said Jill Furillo, executive director of New York State Nurses, at the rally. "The nurses who came here have not had the appropriate orientation to the situation here. They haven't had the appropriate training. After one day of orientation they are being given patient assignments. The staffing situation is not good."

Lakota students release 'lip dub' video to fight spina bifida
Students hope video broke world record for participants
Published 6:57 PM EDT May 14, 2013
Students at Lakota East High School have released their final "lip dub" video.
The video was made last month to raise awareness for spina bifida, a congenital disorder that affects the spine, spinal cord and brain.
Students said they raised $10,000 while making the video, which combines lip-syncing and audio dubbing.
The students haven't heard whether their efforts broke a world record for most people taking part in a lip dub video.
The video was posted Tuesday to YouTube.

The Tolkiens
So Treasure (daughter of the trouble making Jacquel Spartan) joins a band of Tolkien devotees and they force a bunch of technology-loving, reality TV addicted, skinny jean wearing teens to drop their silly habits and go back to being conservative, like way back in the 1910's.
In real life, that plan would not work, as no normal teen would want to give up their Facebook profile for a boring old book.
Also with her family problems clouding her prospects to be as trouble making as her famous mom, Treasure will have to substitute her dreams for the evils of reality.
Or will she?
The end!

DEAR AMY: I've been married for nearly 30 years; we've had our share of the usual problems.
I believe my wife had an affair with a friend of ours about 15 years ago. I've asked her about it and she has denied it, but I have this feeling that she isn't being truthful.
I can't seem to let it go, and I think about it. There is a company near here that does a polygraph test to prove infidelity. Do you think I should ask her to take the test to prove her innocence and help me to overcome my doubts?
I don't know how else to stop thinking about it. I have been faithful throughout our marriage, and to think of her having an affair with a "friend" and lying to me about it bothers me.
DEAR CONFLICTED: You say this polygraph test is given to prove infidelity, yet you also say that you want your wife to submit to it to prove her innocence. I get the distinct feeling that you would feel more relief if the test proved your wife's guilt because then it would confirm this nagging feeling you have harbored for half of your married life.
Before pressuring your wife to strap on the electrodes, you really must talk about it (preferably with a marriage counselor). Among questions you should try to answer are: If this test shows her innocence, will you fully accept this result, or will you think the test is flawed? If your wife is shown innocent, how will the humiliation of having to prove it affect her feelings toward you and about your marriage? If the test result indicates guilt, what happens next?
DEAR AMY: We have friends who like to bring their dog everywhere with them, including places the dog has not been invited. Their method is to call when they're almost at their destination and ask the host, "Oh, we have 'Rex' with us, is that OK?"
I love dogs as much as the next person (and I have dogs), but I think this is rude. These friends think nothing of bringing the dog to a party at someone else's house, without even checking to see whether someone there is allergic to dogs, afraid of dogs, etc.
From talking to friends, I find this is by no means an isolated problem. Many people seem to have at least one friend who thinks nothing of showing up with a dog in tow. We're not talking about assistance dogs -- we're talking about plain old pets.
Any advice for how to head this off at the pass?
Dogged Out
DEAR DOGGED: If these friends call you from their car as they pull into your driveway and say, "We have Rex with us, is that OK?" you need only say, "Oh, that's not going to work for us tonight. I'm so sorry."
You do not supply any excuses, rationale, solutions, etc. You simply answer their query, then endure some empty space while they figure out what to do. If they offer a quick solution that works for you, then great.
Also, you should not refer to pets as "plain old pets." As with children who are not necessarily welcome at every adult gathering, so pets must sometimes be left at home. A beloved animal never seems like a "plain old pet" to the human who loves it.
Send questions to email@example.com or Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

|Boydston, Rick
|Baker, Raymond - WASHINGTON ST. UNIV.
Submitted to: Proceedings of the Washington Mint Growers Winter Conference
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: December 1, 2007
Publication Date: December 4, 2007
Citation: Boydston, R.A., Baker, R. 2007. Weed Research in Mint. Proceedings of the Washington Mint Growers Winter Conference. December 2007. Pg 51-54. Technical Abstract: Weeds present in peppermint and spearmint reduce mint oil yield and quality. Flumioxazin combinations with clomazone and pendimethalin applied to dormant peppermint controlled prickly lettuce and flixweed without significant injury to the crop. Low rates of flumioxazin and sulfentrazone applied immediately after the first cutting of hay and prior to mint regrowth, controlled redroot pigweed with minimal peppermint injury. Fluroxypyr controlled prickly lettuce well in peppermint when applied alone, but activity on prickly lettuce was reduced in tank mixtures with bromoxynil.
