APPLETON, Wis. - As the Marietta College baseball team tries to make program history with back-to-back national championships, the Pioneers' skipper is being recognized by his peers as one of the best young coaches in college baseball.
MC head baseball coach Brian Brewer was named the Ohio Athletic Conference and American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings Mideast Region Coach of the Year in voting by his fellow coaches.
Brewer is always quick to deflect the credit. "There is no doubt in my mind that we have the best staff in the country," He says. "Myself and our players are very lucky to have those guys with us."
This is the third time Brewer has been named OAC Coach of the Year in his career following selections in 1998 as the head coach at John Carroll University and 2011. He has claimed the Mideast Region award on three other occasions including 2006, 2007 and 2011.
Brewer guided the Etta Express to a 16-2 OAC record winning the regular season championship and the No. 1 seed in the league tournament.
The Pioneers claimed their 29th OAC Tournament title by going 3-0 with a win over John Carroll and two against Heidelberg. Marietta, making its record 37th NCAA Tournament appearance, did things the hard way in the Mideast Regional. Following a first round win, the Pioneers were knocked into the loser's bracket and had to win fie games in three days to advance to the National Championship.
Under Brewer's calm leadership, the Etta Express marched through the loser's bracket eliminating Washington & Jefferson, Adrian and St. John Fisher. Two straight wins over previously unbeaten Manchester gave Marietta its record 22nd trip to the national finals.
The Regional Championship victory was Brewer's 400th career coaching win. With the Pioneers' opening round win over Whitworth in the World Series, Brewer's career record stands at 401-195-1 in his 13 seasons as a head coach, nine at Marietta and four at John Carroll.

Emancipation Proclamation
Registration for the lottery
- Using the registration form, choose three time slots which you think will work best for your class(es). If your class is chosen, you will have 48 hours, if necessary, to confirm a time.
- Be sure to fill out all of the requested information, especially the contact phone information. If we cannot reach you by telephone within 48 hours, we will move to the next class drawn.
- Please register only one time for your group. This means that if your entire fourth grade is coming together, you can only register once for that group. However, if there are two fourth grade classes coming from your school at different times, each teacher can register separately. We will check for duplicate registrations before the drawing.
- Registration ends on Tuesday, November 27. At 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, November 28, we will begin random drawings of registered teachers. We will telephone the names drawn, and leave messages if necessary. If you do not return the call in 48 hours, your name will be removed and another chosen.
If you win the lottery
- When we call you, confirm your time slot or choose a new one. If your selected time slots are no longer available, we will allow you to choose another available slot and give you 48 hours to confirm it.
- The teachers' names chosen toward the end will have to take what is left. Once your time slot is confirmed, it belongs to your class.
- The November drawing was scheduled to give teachers adequate time to obtain district approvals for their field trip.
- If, for some reason, you have to cancel your visit, please let us know as soon as possible. We will have a waiting list of teachers.
When you arrive at the Museum
- Be on time! We are scheduling groups every 15 minutes. If your school is late, you will lose your reservation. We know schools are sometimes late for reasons beyond the teacher's control. But, because there is a limited amount of space in front of the document, there probably won't be room to work in the late school group.
- Because of expected demand to see the document, schools will only be allowed to bring one adult per 10 students to view the document. You may bring more adults, but they will not be able to view the exhibition as part of the group.
- Because of the demand on our museum staff for crowd management, we are not scheduling any tours of the museum while the Emancipation Proclamation is on view. Your group may self-guide through the Discovering the Civil War exhibit, self-guide through the rest of the museum, sign up for Clipboard Capers, visit the Museum Store, self-guide at the Military Branch Museum, or schedule a tour of the State Capitol.
- We will have an interpreter stationed by the document to explain to students and other visitors what they will see.
If you don't win
- We will put you on a waiting list and call if there are any cancellations.
- You can schedule a later visit to the Discovering the Civil War exhibit after the original Emancipation Proclamation departs and a facsimile is put in its place. The exhibit is open until September 2, 2013, and we are providing highlight tours of the exhibit for school groups. The original 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which abolishes slavery, will be on view throughout the entire run of the exhibit and it contains Abraham Lincoln's signature.

General Motors introduces its new 2015 full-size SUV lineup
It was during a simultaneous web unveiling in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas that General Motors introduced their new 2015 full-size SUVs: the Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon and GMC Tahoe.
If the popularity of large SUVs has plummeted in recent years, it remains that these three models are of paramount importance for the American manufacturer that has dominated this particular segment since forever.
All three models will be built on the platform used by the new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. With the exception of the Yukon Denali, these three large SUVs will be powered by an EcoTEC 5.3 liter V8 engine delivering 355 horsepower. Denali models receive a more powerful 6.2-liter V8 good for 420 horsepower.
Outside, the main difference between this new generation and the former is found in the grille which is even more massive and imposing than it was before. The wheel arches have also been extended. Better aerodynamics improve fuel consumption and reduce wind noise.
According to General Motors, the interior of the new Suburban, Yukon, and Tahoe is much more luxurious and makes extensive use of elegant and high-quality materials. It is now possible to fold the second and third row (instead of removing them) to create a completely flat cargo area.
All three models will arrive in showrooms in spring 2014. Pricing as well as more comprehensive technical data will be announced later.

RunKeeper Chases Profits from Smartwatch Apps
Will smartwatches become another source of profitable business for app makers? RunKeeper, the company behind the health app with more than 23 million subscribers to date, certainly hopes so.
The RunKeeper app comes pre-loaded on Samsung Electronics's new Galaxy Gear smartwatch, and the company is aiming to make it a constant feature in wearable devices.
"(As) new wearables come out like the Gear, that can make an even more compelling fitness experience. It just fits so nicely into what we're good at and where we're headed directionally," said Chief Executive Jason Jacobs.
"The better the form factor gets on these wearables, the more powerful they are, (and) the more sensors they have in them, the more compelling they're going to be as fitness devices."
Smartwatches enable users to track their exercise in a more convenient way, instead of having to pull out smartphones to activate and close apps, said Mr. Jacobs.
RunKeeper worked closely with Samsung on the app for the Galaxy Gear in the months leading up to the smartwatch's launch, said Mr. Jacobs.
The app has been re-designed to fit the watch's 1.63-inch screen, which is roughly a third of the diagonal length that a standard Galaxy S4 screen has. The Galaxy Gear functions as a remote control for the app running on the phone.

View an illustration about the life cycle of the malaria parasite.
Patrick E. Duffy, M.D., Chief, Laboratory of Malaria Immunology and Vaccinology (LMIV), Laboratory of Malaria and Vector Research, Division of Intramural Research, operates MVDR more like a private biotechnology firm than a typical research lab.
In 2001, NIAID commissioned LMIV to research, develop, and produce prototype malaria vaccines and conduct early-phase clinical trials of promising vaccine candidates. LMIV boasts an organizational structure well-suited to carrying out an effective vaccine development strategy, with separate units focusing on distinct steps of the vaccine development process.
LMIV is developing vaccines that target both the blood stage and the mosquito stage of the deadliest malaria-causing parasite, Plasmodium falciparum.
A blood-stage vaccine is designed to elicit immune responses that can either destroy malaria parasites in the blood or inhibit parasites from infecting red blood cells. In either case, such a vaccine should decrease the incidence, severity, and complications of the disease. Blood-stage malaria vaccines either prime infant immune systems in anticipation of future exposure or boost natural immunity in young children who have already been infected by the parasite. LMIV researchers are currently evaluating blood-stage vaccines at sites in Mali, Africa, in collaboration with scientists at the NIAID-supported Malaria Research and Training Center in Bamako.

Depression Health Center
Foods That Fight Winter Depression
The winter blues can leave you not only feeling down in the dumps, but they can also send you rummaging for sweets. Don't get caught up in this vicious cycle.
Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is a form of depression that affects 25 million Americans, mostly women. Much research has been done on this mysterious disorder.
In somewhat of a simplification, the lack of light in wintertime can result in lower levels of serotonin, the mood-enhancing chemical that regulates hunger and the feeling of well-being.
Serotonin production increases with light, meaning that gray gloom creeping in the window is not kicking the production of feel-good chemicals into action.
Some symptoms include depression, marathon napping, low self-esteem, obsessiveness over little things, irritability, shyness, and panic attacks. People with seasonal affective disorder may also sleep poorly (although for many hours), partly because they don't have enough serotonin to convert to the sleep substance melatonin.
Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and people generally recover completely around April or May - once the days become longer.
Treatment includes light therapy and/or medications. However, there are things you can do yourself that can help boost serotonin levels.
3 Ways to Boot up Your Serotonin
Julia Ross, MA, is director of the Recovery Systems Clinic in San Francisco and author of The Mood Cure and The Diet Cure. She tells WebMD there are three ways to jump-start your serotonin:
- Subject yourself to bright indoor light. This is the touchstone of seasonal affective disorder treatment. Many pricey lights are available. Ross says a 300 watt bulb within three feet for 20 minutes three times a day can help, although the boost in serotonin may be temporary.
- Exercise. This is very hard to do when caught up in the seasonal affective disorder cycle. But if you can force yourself to start, 15 to 20 minutes of dancing to the radio or fast walking can reduce a sweet tooth and improve mood.
- Eat wisely. This means, pushing away the leftover cake and eating sensible carbs to stimulate serotonin. Sweets and simple carbs, like white rice and white bread, quickly raise blood sugar, flood you with insulin, and then drop you in a hole. Eating wisely also means watching the caffeine, which suppresses serotonin. "If you must drink coffee, save it for after the meal," Ross says.

Little Draco
Good Morning everyone! I wanted to show you one of the recent cards I made using the latest release from SCACD. I have used Little Draco and have colored him with both copics and Shinhan Touch twin markers with some shading in blue around the outer edge using Prismacolor pencils.
Classic Timepiece die in the corner and some Petaloo velvet hydrangeas in the corner. Papers are an older Prima pad but SCACD has a large selection of papers for you to chose from to suit your own taste. Ok, make sure you check out all the other girls to see their projects.

|Significant Parameters in the Optimization of MALDI-TOF-MS for Synthetic Polymers
|January 18, 2006
|One of the most significant issues in any analytical practice is optimization. Optimization and calibration are key factors in quantitation. In matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS), one of the limitations restricting quantitation is instrument optimization. Understanding of which parameters are most influential and the effects of these parameters on the mass spectrum is required for optimization. This understanding is especially important when characterizing synthetic polymers by MALDI-TOF-MS, due to the breadth of the polymer molecular mass distribution (MMD). Two considerations are important in quantitation, additivity of signal and signal to noise (S/N).In this study we consider the effects of several instrument parameters were studied using an orthogonal experimental design to understand effects on the signal-to-noise of a polystyrene distribution. The parameters examined included; laser energy, detector voltage, extraction voltage, lens voltage and delay time. Other factors considered were polymer concentration and matrix. The results showed detector voltage and delay time were the most influential of the instrument parameters for polystyrene in all trans-retinoic acid (RA) as the matrix and these parameters as well as the laser energy were most influential for the polystyrene with dithranol as the matrix.

Future LearningHigher education tends to have excellent technology resources. Schools are seeing more IP uptake as security is shifting toward IP as well.
"At least in North America, we have seen a huge shift in the IT departments' budgets to support physical security applications," Winkler- Chimbor said. "We are experiencing the IP shift in physical security within the education market. Our major North American accounts, which include top 10 universities, are driven and funded by IT."
As smartphone adoption grows, the ability to monitor or to be notified via smart devices is a trend. Video can be provided to local emergency personnel through mobile applications that offer access to video through smartphones. "We strongly believe that due to the fact that higher education has access to students with IT degrees, they are more likely to use these resources in active projects on campuses which come at a minimum cost," Winkler- Chimbor said. "Students offer to take the lead in testing and leading the way to new generation security applications that can provide mobile applications. We have experienced this factor at major universities in North America as well as abroad."
TrendsHigher education institutions have a more dynamic and transient population. "In North America, there is an increased awareness about the need to control crowds at either sports or concert events or various student-organized protests on campus," Winkler-Chimbor said. "Post-secondary education institutions are looking to add people counting at events to assess capacity at stadiums, as well as to properly plan evacuation procedures during emergency situations such as fires and weather related emergencies." In the case of protests, institutions use surveillance tools to ensure campus security rules have been properly enforced and to provide legal evidence .
Beyond SecurityLack of funding and no new construction in North America have slowed down the higher education security market. Added-value services become crucial for both vendors and integrators. For example, security applications that can be modified by universities for learning or that can be integrated with existing student e-cards are becoming more common. Security technologies might be considered to improve productivity and are helping to edge security towards being a profit center, said Nigel Waterton, VP of Strategic Development, Aronson Security.
"We plan to expand our involvement in the higher-education market by focusing on VoIP solutions, wireless technologies and infrastructure, and multimedia classrooms that incorporate audiovisual as well as security solutions," Montelius said. "Unlimited bandwidth has also allowed security solutions that make use of standard IP networks to create, publish and distribute rich media content for streaming. With these systems, lectures and presentations are recorded and archived, and students can stream these presentations back if they miss a class and want to listen to a lecture again."
"There is progress occurring towards integrating multiple databases in the higher education market," Waterton said. The key is integrating various solutions on one platform that is capable of processing all signals and immediately notify the responsible personnel, to increase the effectiveness of existing security resources.
While North America is contracting, emerging markets have strong potential. "Our international education markets in Asia, Australia, Europe and the Middle East grew almost 150 percent in 2011, indicating a strong adoption and need of security technology," Winkler-Chimbor said.
Market EducationInstitutions need a common consensus on their long-term technology plans, emergency procedures and trained response teams. "It is of the utmost importance to have IT technicians, maintenance staff and security officers work together to agree on a solution and take into consideration long-term goals and planning for years to come," Montelius said.
Keeping campus crime low can improve an institution's ability to recruit new students and can limit liability costs if an incident occurs. "Keeping campus crime low also produces a marketing message for prospective students and families that encourages selection and attendance based on security values," Montelius said.
Security must consider site-specific needs. The world of education emphasizes openness and is not always receptive to security. "It is crucial to understand individual market needs and it is important to be flexible and robust to adapt to these different requirements," Lee said.
There is a fine line between policing and making students feel safe enough to learn. As IP security uptake continues, careful planning is required. There is no guarantee that a tragedy will never happen again, but the risks could be reduced to a minimum. Besides security technologies, every institution needs to plan for emergencies, from pandemics, toxic spills, active shooters or dangerous weather. While there is no way to plan for every scenario, higher education prepares for the worst so students can do their best.

Shankh is a Conch shell. This instrument has a strong association with the Hindu religion. It is said that when it is blown it announces the victory of good over evil. This shell is used as an important ritual object in Hinduism. The Conch shell is used as a ceremonial trumpet, as part of religious practices, for example puja.
Two distinct kinds of conch shells are used to achieve divine benediction and also mythological beliefs rooted.
Left Handed Conch - It is also called the conch of the opposite hand. Keeping its top portion towards oneself, its open portion stays towards the left hand of the bearer of the conch. The left hand conch is used to make sounds. It is considered the brother of goddess Lakshmi and much loved by Lord Vishnu. During the period of the prehistoric Aryan Culture, it was looked upon as the symbol of shine, splendour and auspicious establishment. A conch shell is blown in every festival and every auspicious ceremony. Its sound reverberates in the atmosphere, filling one with fresh vigour. No worship is viewed concluded if a conch is not blown. There is no panic of paranormal activities and fright of ill spirits, as long as the sound of conch reaches far and wide. If it is blown while doing yoga activities, it exercises the lungs and respiratory tract, through which the body becomes free from diseases, especially cardiac disorders.
Right Handed Conch - The conch bent on the right hand is also called right handed conch and when its top faces the worshipper, its open portion faces the right hand of the worshipper. According to Hindu mythology, when the conch came up during the time of ocean-churning, Lord Vishnu had borne it in His right hand. Then Goddess Lakshmi took birth from the ocean and Lord Vishnu married her. Therefore, it bears intimate relationship with Goddess Lakshmi.
Authority of the conch shell remains the same regardless of it being big or small. It is a well-proven fact that the right handed conch gives wealth and prosperity.

Unless you aren't very active in the designing community, you probably have heard of two great private communities for designers (as for Forrst it includes developers as well) that have really great talent on the website. I like the private design communities because it really weeds out the average designers, of course there are still average ones, but it seems like they tend to have more advanced designers.
I am a member of Forrst, but not of Dribbble. Even though I'm not a member of Dribbble I still visit it pretty frequently to look at all the "shots" that the players are submitting. The talent on those websites are really incredible and its fun to look at and get inspired on designing things and how good you could hopefully become!
Are any of you members of either? If so leave a comment of your username! My username on Forrst is willstumpf.

on March 2, 2013 - 12:14 AM
, updated March 2, 2013 at 12:34 AM
You could call the Coburns the First Family of bowling in Western New York, so any Hall of Fame class that includes three members of that family qualifies as outstanding.
Doris and Frank Coburn and their daughter Cindy Coburn Carroll are part of the Tonawandas USBC Association Hall of Fame class for 2013 announced this week.
The Coburns, Bill Truman and Glenn Snyder will be inducted at a dinner and ceremony on Nov. 16 at Classics V in Amherst. Frank and Doris Coburn and Snyder were elected for Meritorious Service. Cindy Carroll and Truman were cited in the Outstanding Ability category.
The husband-wife team of Frank and Doris Coburn have been coaching bowlers young and old for more than 30 years, holding clinics at area centers each summer and assisting with coaching the Sweet Home teams. They also contributed their expertise to various collegiate programs including the UB women's team and the Niagara County Community College team when the late Roy Sommer was coach.
The Coburns, of course, were accomplished competitors in their own right. Doris' accomplishments on the local and national bowling front are numerous and considerable. She is a member of several Halls of Fame for her competitive accomplishments, alone. Frank won the second George A Obenauer Masters way back in 1962, but has gained more fame as the man behind the bowling careers of his wife and daughters.
Through the years, as coaches and mentors, the Coburns have helped countless bowlers on many levels to compete better and derive more enjoyment from the sport.
Snyder has been involved in Tonawandas bowling for more than 45 years, starting as a junior bowler in 1967, on through years of service as an officer, board member, lanes inspector and eventually president of the association.
Cindy Carroll, who had a successful career on the women's pro tour, has posted the association's high average four of the last six years. She twice was Women's Classic Bowler of the Year, has won five City Tournament titles, including a grand slam in 2008 when she won the scratch singles, doubles and all-events. She has multiple 300 games and 800 series with an 826 personal best.
Truman, who is also a member of the Western New York Baseball Hall of Fame, has bowled in the Tonawandas Association since 1973.
Most recently he has won Tonawandas Thursday Senior League high average three times. Among his numerous scratch titles are All-Events in 1977 and singles in 1998. He is one of eight bowlers in the association with a Scratch Grand Slam in the Tonawandas City Tournament (Team, Doubles, Singles and All-events). He has eight 300 games and five 800 series with a high of 855.
Remembering Bob Schroeder
Bob Schroeder, who died last weekend at 74, was the lesser known of the bowling Schroeder brothers but an impressive competitor just the same.
Older brother, Jim, of course is well-known in local and national circles as a charter member of the Professional Bowlers Association and for his years of bowling with powerhouses in the era when the brewery sponsored teams made much of the big news.
Jim Schroeder had much of the fame and still is an important national figure with the Special Olympics movement, but Bob was no slouch. He bowled with his brother on Jim Schroeder Pro Shop teams that won Buffalo city Scratch Team titles in 1971 and 1975 and won the Handicap as well as the Scratch team crowns in 1970s.
Interestingly, Bob outbowled brother Jim in the 1970 and 1971 City tournaments. He was high man on a team that also included Tour pro Tom Harnisch with a 668 in the 1970 tournament. Jim bowled 609. In 1971, Bob led the team with a 258-679 while Jim was low man with 553. Harnisch anchored with 590.
Bob contributed a 632 to the Jack Stevens Buick-Jim Schroeder Pro Shop team's victory in 1975. Jim led the team with a 649. The anchor man on that team contributed a 628. He was a 20-year-old phenom named Tom Baker.
Bob Schroeder, who worked in the family bakery business, was so devoted to the sport that he admits he bowled on TV's Beat the Champ show on his wedding day in 1958.
He gave up bowling when bad arthritis took its toll on his game while he was still in his '40s.
"I couldn't stand to bowl bad," he once told Buffalo News bowling columnist Norm Warner.
USBC Open set for Syracuse in '18
The USBC Open Championships will return to the Oncenter Convention Center in Syracuse in 2018, it was announced this week along with naming Baton Rouge, La., as the 2025 site. Syracuse last hosted the Open Championships in 1999.
"We understand the importance of bringing the Open Championships east and feel our bowlers will be very happy with these selections," USBC Executive Director Stu Upson said.

Regular use of controller medications, such as inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), improves outcomes in patients with asthma. The importance of daily use of ICS is emphasized in asthma management guidelines.1 However, ensuring that patients with asthma adhere to daily use of ICS, even when asymptomatic, is a challenge. Therefore, clinicians spend substantial time and energy educating patients with asthma about the importance of daily use of ICS. The latter medications, however, do not lead to the immediate relief of asthma symptoms associated with short-acting rescue bronchodilators, such as albuterol, so patients often neglect to take ICS due to the incorrect perception that they do not help. This frequently observed pattern of poor adherence to daily use of ICS has led to the hypothesis that tying use of ICS to the as-needed use of a short-acting bronchodilator may lead to better asthma control for patients with relatively mild asthma. Combining use of ICS with as-needed short-acting bronchodilators may improve asthma control by increasing the patient's motivation to take ICS and by focusing ICS therapy on periods when symptoms of asthma (which vary over time due to environmental factors) are more prounounced. This as-needed ICS strategy could also potentially reduce costs and patient inconvenience by avoiding use of ICS when asthma is not bothersome.

RALEIGH, NC – Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League's Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has acquired center Andrei Loktionov (ahn-DRAY lawk-too-OH-nawf) and a conditional draft pick from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for forward Tuomo Ruutu.
"Andrei is a young, skilled forward who will play on our power play," Rutherford said. "Tuomo was a good player for the Hurricanes and we thank him for his contributions to our organization over the past seven years."
Loktionov, 23, has totaled four goals and eight assists (12 points) in 48 games with New Jersey during his first full NHL season. The Voskresensk, Russia, native made his NHL debut for Los Angeles during the 2009-10 season before suffering a shoulder injury. He returned to action the following year, and was a member of the Kings' Stanley Cup Championship team in 2011-12. Los Angeles' seventh pick, 123rd overall, in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, Loktionov (5'10", 180 lbs.) has totaled 38 points (19g, 19a) and 20 penalty minutes in 135 career games with Los Angeles and New Jersey.

Pi Financial appeals Fos ruling and alleges AR duties breach
Pi Financial is appealing a Financial Ombudsman Scheme decision to pay redress to an elderly investor who was advised by the firm to invest £90,000 into an unregulated collective investment scheme, alleging that the adviser in question breached their authorised representative duties.
The Fos decision, seen by FTAdviser, details the submission from Pi Financial that the claim should be brought against the adviser directly and not against the firm. An appeal against the decision has been lodged by Pi and will be examined by an ombudsman.
An adviser from Ravencourt Financial Services, an appointed representative of Pi Financial at the time of the advice in 2007, advised an 88-year old man to invest £90,000 into the Stirling Mortimer No 4 Cape Verde fund. The fund is an unregulated collective investment scheme.
The Fos decision states the focus of the complaint is whether the Stirling Mortimer fund investment was a suitable recommendation that was compatible with the risk that he was prepared to take.
The Fos adjudicator highlights that there was a "lack of fact finding documentation" and due to this he has had to refer to a Ravencourt-headed letter dated October 2007 in which the adviser recommended investing the money into a "guaranteed investment producing a minimum of 6 per cent per annum".
The letter mentions the need to provide income for care home fees and the need to reduce risk, the adjudicator continues, before going on to say that it does not appear the client was issued with any letter of suitability.
The adjudicator described this letter as "not balanced", as it seemed to "focus entirely" on the Stirling investment and the adviser did not detail the risks or potential downsides.
The Stirling Mortimer fund is a Ucis that invests in an overseas property development scheme in Cape Verde. Recently, FTAdviser revealed a trio of Fos decisions that found against the advice given to invest in Stirling Mortimer funds.
The Fos decision said: "These schemes are deemed to be high risk products and can only be offered to certain limited categories of investors. That risk was not made clear to [the consumer] or his family at the time.
"I do not believe [the consumer's] circumstances were such that he should have been advised to take undue risks with his capital. I have not seen anything which would lead me to conclude that the investment was suitable for [the consumer's] investment needs."
Pi states in its submission that it only provided Ravencourt headed paper on the "express requirement" that it would only be used by its advisers for conducting regulated business that fell within the scope of the AR agreement.
It also claims the adviser was in breach of this agreement as it had prohibited him from transacting business under power of attorney.

Lawyer Back from Iraq Shares His Story
Thanks to a loyal LB reader, we were tipped off recently to the story of a 32 year-old real estate lawyer in Atlanta named Bart Newman, recently featured in this piece in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
After Newman graduated from University of Georgia law school in 2003, he reported to officer basic school at Fort Lee to begin training to be a JAG officer — a lawyer for the Army — in Iraq. Less than two years later, he was deployed in the Middle East, traveling with and advising commanders. Newman kept a journal. When he returned to his wife and daughter in Atlanta, he turned that journal into a book, "Because of Baghdad: What a Father Would Say About Life, If He Didn't Come Home To Say It." Newman then reported to a law firm, Arnall Golden Gregory, to begin work as a real estate lawyer.
We called Newman to discuss his experience in Iraq, his book and his career.
Hi Bart, thanks for taking the time. So tell us, how'd you get from being a law student to being an army lawyer in Iraq?
[When 9.11 happened] I was in law school and the Army started recruiting JAGS [judge advocate generals] – Army lawyers. They realized that in a world where there are no lawful combatants, it's difficult to make decisions about who you can shoot and who you can't, and that they needed lots of lawyers. So I asked my wife, and we agreed that I could sign up to be a JAG officer.
Did you finish law school first?
Yes. You can't do that until you graduate and pass the bar. So in 2003, after school, I reported to Fort Lee for officer basic school, which was 14 weeks. Then I went to Fort Bragg, and they sent me to Amman, Jordan, for Arabic cultural training because the unit I was joining – the 18th Airborne Corps – was getting prepared to go down-range.
Forgive us. What exactly does it mean for a unit to be "airborne"?
Not a problem. It refers to jumping out of airplanes with a parachute on your back. I got my feet and knees in the breeze, as they say. For training, you do a static line jump from a high performance aircraft, and you hit the ground going 22 feet-per-second, which is about 15 miles-per-hour
And just to clarify, what are one's responsibilities as a JAG officer?
My job was to advise on lethal and non-lethal targeting, and detainee operations. It was an intense legal environment, and it required me to get schooled-up in a real big hurry. I was telling commanders who we can bomb, who we can't bomb, and what the rules of engagement say. If you get the rules wrong, there can be big consequences. So that's why they have so many lawyers there. We can't have any more Abu Ghraibs. I went as far east as Iran. I went to Abu Ghraib, and I went to Camp Bucca, in the south of Iraq. That's where we keep a lot of bad people.
OK, so then what happened?
Then I graduated from airborne school in 2005. At graduation, I had a picture taken of me and my daughter, which I ended up taking to Iraq. It's also the picture used for the cover of the book.
So let's talk about the book. At graduation from airborne school, your wife gave you a journal with some passages from the Bible.
The day I left, she gave me that picture of me and my daughter, and the journal. I saw that picture every day in Iraq. It meant a lot to me, and that's why I put it on the book. You get over there and you see a lot of bad stuff. It's nothing like you hear in the media. Soldiers aren't quivering behind sandbags. But you get very serious about life. I kept the journal for a long time before I wrote in it. Then I realized I wasn't promised anything, so about half-way through the deployment I started writing. I said everything I could think of, and what I'd want her to know if I didn't come home. I was in a very safe place, for the most part, but some times when you're on the road, or convoying and a tank gets blown up in front of you, you think, if that tank blew up it'd also blow up my humvee.
So when you started writing in the journal, did you think it could be the basis for a book?
I never thought it'd be the basis of the book. In fact, I almost chickened out of writing it…. I had a gap of four months before I started at the firm, so I went to the bookstore and my local church to write. What I had in the book were concepts – like marriage, staying in shape – and characters. You see good leaders and bad leaders over there, and you see real, live war heroes leading under pressure. So I took those anecdotes, and I apply some vigor to them – as any good lawyer would – and sourced it. I found out what different people were saying about leadership and marriage, and what matters in this life. I self-published it and have now sold almost 1,500 copies through my website, www.bartnewman.com. I'm nobody famous; there's nothing special about me. I'm just a kid from Georgia, but maybe it'll work out.
In law school, did you learn anything that helped you in Iraq? Does your experience in Iraq ever figure in your law practice?
The skills I learned as a lawyer while down-range are very applicable to my practice of law. Down-range, there are huge consequences on decisions. If you have a target that's fleeting, decisions have to be made and they have to be made correctly. Law helped me learn how to advise commanders under pressure, and also to make sure you're telling them when they're about to make mistake. You say, "You're the boss, you can do what you want, but you're putting the organization at risk." That's basically what we do as lawyers.
The other thing is that once you spend a year in Iraq you get some perspective on life. Here I am, sitting in a beautiful office, with a look over downtown Atlanta. There are marble conference rooms, and people who will jump through walls to get stuff for me. Stuff back home is gravy, and sometime we forget that. No one's going to die if we don't get something right here, but sometimes we act like someone is.

The military press requires strong deltoids and traps. With training, these muscles become stronger, making it possible to lift the desired amount of weight on the military press. The quickest strength gains are obtained from following a strength-training program that focuses on using a weight range where you can perform between eight and 12 reps while practicing proper form. Strength training requires three minutes of rest between sets. The military press is an awkward lift for beginners, so it's necessary to work on coordination.
Step 1
Grab a dumbbell in each hand to perform bent over rows. Lean forward at a 65-degree angle with a slight bend in the knees while tightening your abs and holding strong posture by not allowing your back to hunch. With a weight at each side, pull the weight up toward your chest, pushing your elbows back behind you. Feel the squeeze in your rhomboid muscles in your back. Imagine you have a water balloon in the center of your back; focus on squeezing your muscles to pop the balloon. Lower the weights to the starting position and repeat.
Step 2
Lie down on the incline bench and position yourself under the bar. Grab the bar so your hands are positioned a bit wider than shoulder-width apart. Keep your wrist in line with your forearms, and do not allow your wrist to bend. Push through your forearms to lift the bar off the rack. Lower the weight until it taps your chest, then push the weight back up to the starting position.
Step 3
Grab two dumbbells with your arms extended out so your elbows are bent 90 degrees and your palms are facing you. Twist your palms out while pulling your arms out to the side and keeping your elbows bent so the end position looks like a double bicep flex. Press the dumbbells up over your head. Bring the weights back down in to the bicep flex position and bring your elbows in together, turning your wrists so they face back into the starting position. The exercise is called the Arnold press.
- Practice all of these exercises with light weights for the first two weeks of training to allow your body time to get coordinated with these lifts. Take more time as needed if you do not feel comfortable performing these lifts with heavier weight.

my baby is 3 months old, and all she seems to do all day is cry. cry, cry.
she has colic, so on gripewater which we changed frrom infocol which has helped.
dribbling a lot which makes me think she is teething so i have been giving her calpol when really bad.
i just feel i can't really cope with it all day when hubby at work, i feel teary, although i don't think i'm depressed i'm scared i might become depressed again.

aw babe dont panic.your not the first and u wont be the last that feels like that.
have you not got a good friend or a relative you woulld trust to watch the baby for like an hour to give you some You time to wash your hair or have a bar of chocolate or even jst pop to the shops for a wee bit of a break.
my little one isn't due to xmas but iv already statrted thinking about how i don tthink i will be able to handle crying all the time. Im the youngest in my family other than my little cousins who i didnt need to spend 24/7 with so having a little person depend on me is sort of scarey even though i wanted it with all my heart i didn't think of it like that.
If your feeling teary then let it out.. speak to someone ... rather than bottling it all up or it will just get worse!
if you need to just talk to someone for a bit of relief then im always here if u wna tlk via emails/,sn/text/phone if you like:)
Im sure if you let them though your family will be desperate to have a wee shot of your i dont doubt ADORABLE daughter and give you some you time:)
i hope you feel better chick... sorry if im babling on but it will be ok dont worry:)
have some cyber hugs:) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

thanks very much klair, its very kind of you.
hope all goes well do you know if its a boy or girl?
my mum has taken her when hubby and i have been out a few times but because she seems to be so unsettled and crying loads i feel bad someone else having to put up with her as sometime i can't settle her for ages.
she crys when she seems my MIL as she doesn't see her that often so worry baby will be even more unhappy that mummy or daddy aren't around, my mum works shifts but i do see her almost everyday even if just for 30mins - 1hr.
i'm 23 and baby was planned, but can't help but think maybe i am too young i do love her to bits but its so hard when your at home during the day and got to put up with the crying etc then hubby comes in and she is all smiles.
i do get out to shops etc, tried baby massage but she just cried so it put me off going to mother and baby groups as she will pro just cry.
i'm now scared to take her out anywhere in public ie cafe, resturant as she will just errupt.

Hi pinkfairy and yes i have been there too. My son has reflux and had colic and like you I had a crying baby in my arms many many hours of the day. I found a couple of things helped but I wish I had found them earlier!!
You may all ready be trying these, stop during feeds more often and keep them in that position while you massage the stomach, then sit up to burp with firm patting between the shoulders. This helps gather the bubbles together and bring them up.
Break the feeds up into smaller sessions, feeding smaller amount more frequently doesnt sound fun I know but wil help the gas get to the top.
Some colic bubs like to be on their tummys for naps, I know you may not be comfortable putting in the cot like that so during day I lay him on my chest, tummy down to let him sleep.
I know they only a couple of small suggestions but I found they made a difference. Hunter didnt start to show signs of getting better till he was around 4/5 months. Im so sorry you are dealing with this. I found I was crying as much as him, I lost my temper and yelled at him a couple of times because I couldnt cope with the crying then I would feel so bad I would put him in his bed and sit beside it sobbing for ages. I got sick to death of people saying "it would get better" and "it wasnt as bad as I thought it was" I felt so alone and I hated being a mother although I love him more than anything. I really feel for you, its such an awful thing to go though.

hi huntermac
sometimes the colic seems to be getting better now we have switched to gripewater. i try stopping during feed and she goes crazy crying for bottle back
yeah maybe sleeping on tummy would help, will try with her noon naps.
like another post i read all i seem to do during the day is either feed her, try and settle her or keep trying to amuse her by making faces etc
i do find myself getting very angry with her i would never hurt her but sometime feel i can be a bitrough when picking her up or like you say find myself shouting at her then i feel so bad but i just get so frustrated
hubby keeps saying you shoudl see the doc if your feeling like that but i don't as much feel depressed just teary and frustrated.
i keep waiting for it to get better like people say it will eventually blah blah hee hee

You should see a doctor, I know darn well I have PND because of trying to cope with it all. Its alot to deal with. Being teary is a good sign that you need more support. Have you asked about reflux to? Not all reflux babies spill, there is a "silent reflux' which means the acid comes up but not out the mouth but burns the throat and causes alot of pain. Ask about it, you cant loose anything by checking. You would be amazed at the difference medication will make. They will start with Gaviscon and move up from there. The first night he had his medication he slept for the whole night for the first time!!! That is when we found out his constant crying from reflux was causing his colic.

im 19 wand have twins on the lmao... no i dont know the sexes ... kinda wnt a surprise lol even tho 2 is a big enough surprise.. might change my mind by the tie i go for a 4d scan...
maybe she crys coz she doesnt like you leavin her, but she will have to get used to mummy not being there EVERY time she crys or mummy will end up ill.
wen u leave wit ur mum or MIL try leaving a jumper of yours or a blanket that smells like you? it might help if she has something that smells familiar.. she's a baby so whoever volunteers to watch her for you will be prepared for crying so you shouldnt feel bad.
You prob feel bad and guilty for leavin her in the first place.. theres a sayin..im not sayin leave her for days on end lol but a few hours or even just one or two hours?
absence makes the heart grow stonger?
hmm tht sounded mean i think i didnt mean it to sound mean lol....
she knows ur her mum n had u wrapped hisd round her finger already lmao im gna be gubbed wen my monsters come along:P
i dnt have tips on how to calm you babba dwn jst things tht i tried with aiden ma little cuzin.... if he cryed..which he did alot... id sing or put a slow cd on or something soothing for him to listen to... or just tell him stories... or plonk him in front of the tv in vibrating bouncy chair. he loved it....
so back to the IN LAWS how about you sugest to your hubby tht lol your not gna like this.... i hated seeing or spending time with his family... but sugest one or two nights a week you go to theirs or they come to yours for dinner or even just a wee cuppa so that your little one can get used to their voices while your their too....
or even if you cant and the next time u drop her off their.... leave your jumper or something.. tht smells like you:)..something familiar to her?
aw babe as i sed im 19 and baby was planned.. NOT BABIES but i am thrilled about it:)... the now lol
i dnt imagine tht its a nice feeling havin your lil one cry with u all day and wen daddy comes home he gets all the smiles lol but on the same hand while daddys at work.. ur gettin to know her... you wil be the one tht prob sees her first walk, words, throwing a bowl of spagetti over her head at lunch time:P n i bet he wil envy u for that
AS for mother n baby groups... yea ur little girl cries but so does the other babies.. maybe tht once or twice you went they were all drugged up on calpol by their mums lol coz they were feelin like you... if anything if you go to them for a little while...you get out the house which wil lstart to feel like a cage if u dont get out, you will meet other mums in your situation in ur area and give u some friend u can relate to and your little one will get to socialise as she gets bigger with the group.. meet friends... dont worry if she crys everyones been there... everyone knows the feeling you just want the ground to open and swallow you!!
dont get me started lmao i went to get a bus with my little cousin wen he was like 5 months old... and didnt relise it wud be such a mission.. i got him up bathed, fed in pram... dwn to bus stop... bus came..he had a hissy fit... managed to get him out..my friend held him for me.. then i couldnt work the blooming pra..didnt know how to get it dwn.. i was getin redder n redder n felt like cryin coz i felt like everyone was watching on the bus... and aiden was getin more grumpy... but then it was like a que of people to try helop me... the bus driver and most people on the bus got off to have a wack at tryin to fold this pram dwn.. was a such a nice feelin that total strangers tht looked mean n fed up wit me coz my little cousin was screemin the place dwn were actually making light of the situation n helped me get on the bus1!!!! so i got there at last lol... yea sorry another sidetracted story:P

thts really interesting about reflux.
she did sleep through the night from 11-7am 2 nights in a row just as we thought she was starting to sleep all night, but now up again anything from 3,4,5,6
she is starting to bring her legs up in air and slamming them down on mattress which is the colic i think and this is waking her in the night, adding to the stress of broken night sleep for mum and dad.
i was on anti depressants when i was 16, now 23 i only feel teary if i'v had a bad day with her, which for the last few days seems to be everyday!!! i'm not sure if i'm depressed pos am when having a bad day but feel ok on weekends when hubby home

gosh 2 on the way, you will be busy. twins run in my family history there are x2 sets of twins inmy mums family, so i escaped that one (hence at the moment i'm saying i'm having NO more!!)
your right in everything you say, i don't think your quite prepared for the baby coming along and how much things will change, my mum has offered to take her so i can go out for lunch with friends and i have a few nights out in june with and without hubby so will perk up once i get out and about and my mum is very patient with her which is good.
how long hve you to go?? yes def have a surprise its worth all the work to get a nice surprise at the end, how exciting having twins must be nice.
i try leaving her to cry so i'm not always running to her, but she gets in such a state and starts sweating !!! and she is socked sometimes she calms herself butother days she just keeps on going, i only leave her if i know she is fed changed and not in pain
poor you with the pram and your nephew i could only imagine

How exciting having twins!! The cry we are talking about isnt the kind where bubs wants to be with you, its a scream of pain where sometimes they are crying so hard no noise comes out of their mouth. Nothing you do makes them feel better and it can go on for hours. Its very hard to explain and if you havent heard it before it would be hard to imagine.
Hunter cryed for 15hr straight 1 day when he was around 6wks, that was one of the worst days in my life. He was so exhorsted he couldnt drink and the doc just said to let him sleep and not to worry about food. Colic and relfux are cruel. They become very strong babies from throwing themselves around and you sometimes find mum has scratches or bruises on their face from bubs fists and nails, I have been away from him for a total of 3hr since he was born because when he is having one of his painfull days all he wants is his mum, not even dad will do.
Thanks for your advice though, there are some babies who just want mum around and yes a jersey with your smell works great for them Very best of luck with the twins, you are in for an exciting time!! I hope you post a pic of them when they a here

Sorry, 4got to say Klair was right on the nail about mums n bubs groups, Hunter always cries at our coffee group but they all know why and the mums take turns some days entertaining him while I have my lunch and coffee. I also had a mum in my group before she went back to work whose son was just like Hunter. We had a real good @#&** session together. May do you some good to track down someone whose in the same boat, you feel like a normal person for a few hours being with someone who understands. So good thinking Klair!

Diva Ross packs a lot into 84 minutes
There was no opener for Diana Ross' near-capacity concert at the Riverside Theater Tuesday. Her set — not even an hour and a half — was out before 9 p.m. Anyone who opted for the premium seats was essentially burning a buck a minute.
But judging by the audience's reaction, the vast majority thought it was worth every penny.
At this point Ross is by definition a nostalgia act. There's been no studio album with originals since 2006 — and that album, "Blue," had been shelved for about 35 years. Practically everything about Tuesday's concert was from another era, from her glamorous gowns to the old-school ritz of a swinging 12-piece band, including three singers, four horn players, a pianist, percussionist, drummer, guitarist and bassist.
But to call the show nostalgic is almost belittling. Nostalgia acts, on the road as long as Ross has been doing it, so often burn dimly off the vapors of faded memories. They're sad ghosts of the glory days. But Ross' show had a pulse, a magic that made it alive in the moment, even as it was saluting the past.
Credit can be issued a number of ways. The pace, for one, was breathless, a heck of a lot of show smashed into 84 minutes, touching upon 20 primarily buoyant songs, from the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love" to "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" to Gloria Gaynor's disco anthem "I Will Survive." And yet not once did Tuesday's concert feel like a rush job. It helps that so many of these beloved songs are so full of energy and so short in length. It also helps that the band had such great chops and charisma, complete with repeated bouts of synchronized swaying. The arrangements were structured so individual elements — the funk of a guitar, the doo-wop whimsy of backing vocals, the cheer of trumpet — could stand out in symphony with everything else. But the musicians were still given their moments to shine, whether it was a flirty flugelhorn dancing around Ross' vocals on the Dusty Springfield cover "The Look of Love," or members of the band, one after the other, taking a crack at an effortless jazz solo during a cover of Billie Holiday's "Don't Explain." And as an ensemble, they maximized the few opportunities to rewrite the script, as with the salsa-smothered finish to "Love Child."
And then credit, of course, goes to Ross herself. She's never been a blow-the-roof-off-the-place singer, but there is soul and sunshine in her voice. She was like a schoolgirl singing lyrics like "kissing ya" and "oh how I need you" during the Supremes' "Baby Love," and giddiness in the way she asked the crowd to sing along to "Stop! In the Name of Love." At times, in her smiles and banter and coos, you could even catch glimpses of Michael Jackson in her demeanor.
But then later for the jazzy "Don't Explain," she blossomed into a mature woman, strutting around the stage in a sparkling black gown, with exposed shoulders and see-through slits running down her sides from shoulder to shins. It was incredibly risque, possibly crazy, for a 69-year-old woman to try to pull off, but she owned the look, and the song. And throughout these personas, Ross possessed a diva's glamour without the ego — so that by the time she sang "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)," scores of complete strangers had embraced the message, holding each other's hands, swaying their arms together to the music.

■ Fans got personal with the Motown legend by set's end. One proudly proclaimed being at 112 shows, while another gave Ross a cover of a 1972 magazine with her on it, still in pristine condition.
■ Ross' wardrobe was generally sparkly and glamorous, spanning colors from blue to orange, but unfortunately the first outfit she wore made her look like a giant loofah.
■ Dance moves in the crowd: The "Pogostick" (people jumping up and down), the "Sunday Service" (people fanning themselves and swaying to the rhythm), the "Sit-and-Shake" (people grooving who couldn't bother to stand up). Thankfully, I didn't see any twerking.
