Fed's Evans Expects U.S. Credit Rating to Be Maintained
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Charles Evans said Wednesday he doesn't agree with concerns that the Fed's accommodative monetary policy could pressure the dollar and lead to a credit downgrade.
"I don't really see those fears," Mr. Evans, who isn't currently a voting member of the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee, said after a speech to the Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce Business Expo in Hammond, Ind., in response to an audience member's question.
Mr. Evans added he's optimistic U.S. economic growth will be strong enough for the country's credit ratings to be "at least" maintained.
In response to another audience member's question, Mr. Evans also refuted the concern that accommodative policies could fuel a risk to the housing sector from excessive activity.
A necessary part of that process would be banks lending much more than they currently are, he said. "At the moment we're not anywhere near that."
The FOMC decided earlier this month to launch an open-ended program to buy $40 billion of additional mortgage-backed securities each month and also extended its guidance to keep short-term interest rates low until mid-2015, a revision from the previously announced late 2014.

The present economic crises have created acute job scarcity and many professionals, who are unto some form of employments, are also retrenched from their jobs to cut down the organizational expenses. People are finding it difficult to sustain their daily living cost and new jobs are hard to come. The unemployment rates in different service sectors have already passed 9% level and as per American Bureau of Labor Statistics the Annual Average Unemployment Rate was alarming 9.6% for 2010 and unemployment level was 14,825,000 for 2010.
But, it is also heartening to note that the health care and nursing field of the United States is still booming and offering ample employment opportunities for entry level nurses such as licensed Practical Nurses and Registered Nurses and, projection for their employment opportunities will see steady growth throughout 2008 to 2018. The demand for them is much higher than their supplies and currently, all US states are facing acute nursing shortages
This entire scenario makes entry level nursing jobs a lucrative opportunity for the unemployed professionals. But, it is also necessary that to practice in the nursing and health care field, one must possess either LPN Licensure or RN Licensure. The practice license will only be granted to a candidate, if he or she sits and passes the NCLEX exam (the National Council Licensure Examination), developed and administered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN). Therefore, in order to get easy nursing jobs, you must be certified and earn RN or LPN credential by passing the NCLEX exam.
However, it is generally seen that many candidates appearing for the NCLEX exam fails to pass the test and are deprived from the employment opportunities in the nursing field. The basic reasons that can be attributed to their failure to pass the exam include:
- Not fully prepared for the test
- Unaware of the NCLEX Test Questions
- Insufficient knowledge of test procedures
- Lack of confidence and nervousness
- Non availability of Guidance and tips.
Moreover, they are also not knowledgeable about the ways to answer the test, and the time that must be devoted to each question, and unaware of the the subjects from where they get the majority questions.
In order to assist these LPN and RN students aiming to appear NCLEX exam, comprehensive NCLEX review program was designed and developed. NCLEX 4000 can be easily downloaded in your PC free of cost or by paying nominal charges. NCLEX 4000 an is a study software, containing over 4,000 NCLEX quality review questions, covering 29 topics in five major areas such as:
- Fundamentals
- Medical-surgical nursing
- Pediatrics
- Maternal-neonatal
- Psychiatric-mental health
By using the software, a student can assess multiple-choice questions and alternate-format questions, identical to NCLEX questions types. The software also delivers and features study modes such as:
- Pretest
- Correct and incorrect answers with references and justifications
- Review
- Prioritizing and delegation new questions
- Alternate-format of questions identical to NSCBN test plans.
NCLEX 4000 also reflects the NSCBN test plans and is continuously updated because NSCBN test plans are reviewed and implemented after every three years.

This man has made the lives of so many people complete nightmares with Eastern Europeans running around, it is beyond belief.
Before I get "u iz a racist", I don't care where people come from or what colour their skin. However, when you take people who are culturally adapted to one environment and stick them in another guess what- they collide!
I appreciate there are some eastern europeans who are hard working- but why the hell have we got families of 8 with a single mother moving over here and claiming benefits? Which idiot allowed this to happen?
The thing which really annoys me is that he doesnt have to live with his decisions- just like he wouldnt tell us if Leo had an MMR injection whilst he preached the rest of the country to get it done, oh- just like he told the rest of the country we should have comprehensive schooling whilst he sent his children to London school's where the average house price in the catchment area was £1million!
The man who tried to destroy Britain

There is absolutely no doubt that a lot of immigrants have made contributions to the UK, but at what cost?
A lot more Brits are on the dole now (albeit many for selfish reasons) - it's almost as if politicians are in denial as to why that is.
Sorry, I thought the thread title was referring to Mr Cameron
The world should close its borders to brits, see if we like that then.
(Original post by zaliack)
It couldn't possibly be Mr Cameron because the title is in the past tense.
Haha coursework.info replied, nobody interested
ZOMG OP, look at you, such powerful political criticism.
A cynic might say that mass immigration serves well the wealthier classes since it provides both a cheaper labour force and a larger market to sell goods and services to. It also has the advantage that the youth of immigrants bolsters support for Britain's aged population, who would, otherwise have to be supported by increased taxation.
All in all, you're rich, immigrants are pretty sweet. If you're not, you're gonna feel bitter.

The rest of the show is reasonably good, certainly good for a tour opener; I imagine that most people will consider the first set to be the better of the two, and I think I'd agree with them, as it boasts strong versions of Stash, Theme (!), Wolfman's, and a neat segue from Mike's Song into Silent in the Morning (the entire Groove is not too shabby, either). The second set, for its many pleasures (the really mellow Page showcase in Golden Age, R&R melting away into an ambient jam), feels a bit like a missed opportunity more than anything else. Don't get me wrong, I listened to the show and I enjoyed it, especially in the aforementioned peaks, but the bar's been raised pretty high for 3.0, wouldn't you say? This show might have dropped jaws in 2009; in 2013 it's mixtape material. Nothing wrong with that. It's early days, after all, and if the worst that can be said about a show like this is that you'll want to hang on to not-insignificant chunks of it, that probably augurs well for the rest of the summer.
Hot damn, that Antelope was special, though.

UP (A-1, PG): To borrow a term
from film critic Roger Ebert,
Up belongs to the reborn
genre of feature-length animated films.
Up takes its place right along with other
beautiful, digitally rendered films such
as WALL•E (2008) and Spirited Away (2001).
As for the story line, Up is very similar
to About Schmidt, Alexander
Payne's 2002 reflection on "the
third age" of a man's life that is
filled with possibility and connectedness
to the rest of humanity.
Further, Up borrows a page
from Jeff Balsmeyer's charming
live-action 2003 film Danny
Deckchair by taking the main character
to a faraway place via party
Growing up, Carl Fredricksen
(voice of Ed Asner, The Mary Tyler
Moore Show) meets an adventurous
girl, Ellie (voice of Elie Docter),
who is also an admirer of discredited
explorer Charles Muntz
(voice of Christopher Plummer,
Now married and unable to have
children of their own, they focus all
their dreams on one day traveling to
Paradise Falls, after being inspired by
Muntz and his adventures in Venezuela.
Two things happen after a long, artistically
unique, silent sequence that ends
when Ellie dies. A Wilderness Scout
named Russell (voice of Jordan Nagai)
importunes Carl by volunteering to
help the elderly man so he can get his
final scouting badge.
Then, contemplating his life and
dreams, Carl hooks up his house to a
gigantic bouquet of helium balloons
to follow Muntz to South America. But
there's one catch: Russell. He is back to
offer assistance to Carl and becomes
an unwitting stowaway. Together, the
two set off on an adventure.
The story is the typical white male
hero's journey for Carl, who is transformed
by the opportunity to be a
father figure to Russell and to make a
difference in the life of a young boy.
Co-directors and co-writers Pete
Docter (WALL•E) and Bob Peterson
(Ratatouille) have created an almost
flawless film that is as endearing as it
is visually imaginative. The shortage
of female characters that don't die and
the lack of racially diverse characters
are issues the filmmakers and Pixar
need to address in upcoming films,
Up is the pinnacle of Pixar's animated
genius. The film has "Oscar" written all
over it. A touching, animated treat.
AWAY WE GO (not yet rated, R): Burt
Farlander (John Krasinski, The Office)
and his pregnant girlfriend, Verona
(Maya Rudolph, Saturday Night Live),
move to Burt's hometown to be near
his parents, Gloria (Catherine O'Hara,
Penelope) and Jerry (Jeff Daniels, State of
Play), when the baby comes. Much to
the couple's surprise, Gloria and Jerry
are moving to Belgium for two years.
Burt and Verona visit places
where other family members, former
colleagues and college pals
reside in quest of a home for their
family. They discover that people
have weird parenting styles
or are psychologically fragile, such
as Lily (Allison Janney, Juno).
The most poignant moment in
the film is when they go to Montreal.
Their college friends Munch
(Melanie Lynskey, Two and a Half
Men) and Tom (Chris Messina,
Made of Honor) have adopted several
children after suffering miscarriages.
Away We Go is billed as a romantic
comedy, but I found it an
interesting assessment of marriage in
the United States today with some
funny moments. Verona refuses, at all
costs, to marry Burt. They do exchange
vows, but for Verona marriage has not
worked well for most of the people she
knows. There is barely a mention of
religion in the film, not because the
characters avoid its place in life, but
because it does not even occur to them.
British director Sam Mendes (American
Beauty) once again taps deeply into the American life and psyche. Aspects
of this film may make some viewers
uncomfortable, but for pastoral people
there is much here to ponder about
the existential meaning of marriage,
family and children in America today
and what a faith response might be.
There's lots to talk about. Sexuality and
situations, problem language, mature
BANDSLAM (not yet rated, PG): Sophomore
Will Burton (Gaelan Connell,
Chocolat) and his mom, Karen (Lisa
Kudrow, Friends), move to a new town
where Will hopes to make a fresh start
at a new high school away from bullies.
Though he seems like a nerd, Will is a
walking encyclopedia when it comes to
the history of rock music, bands and
David Bowie. The Burtons have a family
secret, though, and it threatens Will's
new status.
A cool and gorgeous senior, Charlotte
(Alyson Michalka, Phil of the Future),
recruits Will to help at a day-care center
and to manage her band. Charlotte
wants to get back at her jerk of an ex-boyfriend,
Ben (Scott Porter, Speed Racer),
by going up against his band at the
Bandslam contest.
Will becomes friends with a brooding
girl named Sam (Vanessa Hudgens,
High School Musical), and recruits her to
be in his expanding band. Trouble is
brewing on many fronts, however, especially
when Ben starts digging into
Will's past.
Bandslam takes its cue from the High
School Musical franchise and has a School
of Rock flavor, but stands on its own as
a gentle comedy about coming of age
and music, blending rock and classical
genres. The casting seems somewhat
awkward because some of the actors
are too old for their parts (Scott Porter,
for example, is 30). Vanessa Hudgens
and Gaelan Connell are convincing
and entertaining.
The only sour note I detected was
how the filmmakers let a one-sided
attraction between a male student and
Will's mom play out. It is a minor chord
and supposed to be funny, but current
events about inappropriate relationships
between students and teachers
make it seem as though the writers
didn't do their homework.
Bandslam subtly reinforces the place
of music in the curriculum. Good-hearted
OF POPE JOHN PAUL II: Pope
John Paul II's life is once again
examined in this excellent and artistic
documentary. There really isn't much
that isn't already common knowledge,
but it is a good watch and a warm tribute
to the pope's memory. Available
from www.testimonythedvd.com or
your local Catholic bookstore.
NURSE JACKIE (Showtime,
check local listings): Edie
Falco, of The Sopranos fame,
plays nurse Jackie Peyton. Her character
is flawed: Jackie exchanges pain
pills for sex even though she is married
with children. She has no problem
flushing the severed ear of a rapist with
diplomatic immunity down the toilet.
If television's role can be defined as
making the invisible—or what should
be invisible—visible, then Nurse Jackie succeeds. Judging from the first episode,
the writing of this dark comedy and the
acting are quite good, though perhaps
outside of some viewers' comfort zones.
The writers have done their theological
homework, too. The show takes
place in a Catholic hospital and the
characters refer to Augustine, the great
reformed sinner-saint, who is supposed
to have said, "Lord, make me chaste,
but not too soon."
Jackie is an accomplished sinner.
Only time and grace will tell if she will
exercise virtue to a heroic degree and
earn a "St." before her name.
AFGHAN STAR (not yet rated): This
documentary shows that, after 30 years
of war, the Afghan people are ready to
sing in their own version of American
Idol. They choose music over guns.
Over 11 million people voted for the
final winner. For the younger generation,
it is their first experience of democracy.
Fans campaigned and even the
Taliban from one region voted (as other
Taliban groups threatened the show).
One female contestant danced when
she was voted off and has received
death threats to this day. Fascinating.
(not yet rated): Hayao Miyazaki, the
Japanese writer/director of Princess
Mononoke (1997), Spirited Away (2001)
and Howl's Moving Castle (2004), is back
with Ponyo. It is the story of a young
boy who lives with his mother in a
house on a cliff overlooking the sea. He
meets a goldfish princess who wants to
become a human. The film premiered at
the Venice International Film Festival in
2008 and was nominated for the Golden
Lion. Beautifully rendered but too long
and meandering; some peril.
THE HANGOVER (O, R): This sometimes
funny but unfortunate take on
pre-matrimonial bachelor behavior is
very bottom-drawer entertainment. The
bride's whacked-out brother ends up
taking care of an infant after he is prohibited
from being in the proximity of
children or a school. If someone can
explain the attraction of films like this to
so many thousands of moviegoers,
please write and share your insights.
Creepy, gross, sexually explicit, problem
language, comedic violence.

Rights and Responsibilities
You have the right to decline any financial aid that you are offered. You have a number of rights and responsibilities pertaining to borrowing student loans. Click here for a list of important rights and responsibilites of which you should be aware.
Perkins Loan
The Perkins Loan is a federal loan program. This is a campus-based loan program, with Baylor acting as the lender using a limited pool of funds provided by the federal government. No new federal funding is available for the program currently. The amount available to award each year is dependent on the amount repaid by previous Baylor borrowers. Consideration is based on completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. At Baylor, awards of up to $4000 are made to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need. The Perkins Loan is a subsidized loan, with the interest being paid by the federal government during the in-school and 9-month grace periods. There are no origination or default fees, and the interest rate is 5%. There is a 10-year repayment period. The aggregate limit for undergraduate students is $27,500.
Nursing Loan
The Nursing Loan is a federal loan program for students pursuing a degree in nursing. Consideration is based on completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and admission to the Nursing School. It is a low-interest loan for undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need. Loans of up to $4000 are made with government funds through Baylor's financial aid office, and Baylor acts as the lender. The interest rate is 5 percent. You are not responsible for paying the interest on the loan during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. The aggregate limit is $13,000.
B-On-Time Loan (for Texas residents only)
Please Note: The Texas Legislature has voted to discontinue the Texas B-On-Time program for new recipients for the 2015-16 academic year. The program will be phased out but will continue to be available for students who are eligible for renewal; however, the allocation has not yet been announced. Funding may not be available to award all students who meet the renewal criteria. The Texas B-On-Time Loan program provides eligible Texas students no-interest loans to attend colleges and universities in Texas. You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and complete the Recommended high school curriculum to be considered for limited available funding. The maximum amount of the loan is determined by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board each year and an allocation is assigned to Baylor. The Student Financial Aid Office will determine if you are eligible. If this loan is offered to you, the Student Financial Aid Office will instruct you to complete an application and promissory note online. Full-time enrollment is required. Very limited exceptions are allowed for students who enroll less than full-time but at least half-time. Click here to review Baylor's BOT Hardship policy. If you meet specified goals, the entire loan amount can be forgiven upon graduation. For more information about loan forgiveness click here.
College Access Loan (for Texas residents only)
The College Access Loan (CAL) Program provides an alternative type of educational loan to Texas students that attend colleges and universities in Texas. Baylor receives an allocation of funding from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board each year. You do not have to demonstrate financial need by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to receive this loan, which may be used to cover all or part of your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). However,you must deduct the maximum Pell Grant eligibility and your eligibility for Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans (even if you do not wish to pursue a Direct Loan) from the cost of attending Baylor to determine the amount of the CAL loan you could receive. For more information and to apply, click here.
Baylor Institutional Loan
Very limited funding is available. This is a loan of last resort and is not appropriate for most students. Approval is determined by the Student Financial Aid Office and all decisions are final. Students must be enrolled at least half-time at Baylor University for the loan to remain in a deferment status. If the borrower transfers or begins another program of study at any other institution, no deferment is available. There are no loan cancellation benefits. The maximum repayment period is seven years.
Other Loan Sources
Occasionally private foundations and organizations make loans to students who live in a specific geographic location or who meet other unique criteria. Your high school counselor is a good resource for information regarding these types of loans.

Review of Scalar Mesons1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973538View Description Hide Description
The formulae needed to parametrise σ, κ, and are reviewed. For σ and κ, the Adler zero due to Chiral Symmetry Breaking plays a crucial role. The and are locked to the threshold by a cusp mechanism which leads to a sharp peak in attraction at the threshold. This mechanism may play a wider role. A novel suggestion is that the confinement potential involves a cooperative effect between QCD effects (coloured quarks and gluons) and conventional meson exchanges.
Scalar field and QCD constraints in Nuclear Physics1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973488View Description Hide Description
Relativistic theories of nuclear matter are discussed in a new pespective. First the chiral character of the scalar nuclear field is introduced in the framework of the linear sigma model. With the assumption that the nucleon mass originates in part from the coupling to the quark condensate it is possible to relate the optical potential for the propagation of the scalar field to the QCD scalar susceptibility of the nucleon, on which indications exist from the lattice evolution of the nucleon mass with the quark mass. Constraining the parameters of the nuclear scalar potential by the lattice expansion parameters a successful description of the nuclear saturation properties can be reached.
Chiral Shielding Revisited1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973506View Description Hide Description
A model‐independent chiral soft‐pion theorem (SPT) shields the now observed scalar‐meson ground‐state isoscalar and isospinor resonances from detection in and processes. Moreover, for pseudoscalar‐to‐vector‐vector (PVV) decays, quark loops only are required.
Scalar Mesons in Charm Decays1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973518View Description Hide Description
Results on light scalar mesons in charmed particle decays studied by the CLEO Collaboration at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring are reviewed.
The Light Scalar Mesons at COSY‐Jülich1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973542View Description Hide Description
The light scalar mesons are being investigated at COSY‐Jülich by detecting the strong decays into and as well as radiative decays into vector mesons. Selected results are discussed with emphasis on recent measurements at the ANKE and WASA spectrometers.
Model independent determination of the σ pole1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973552View Description Hide Description
The first part of this report reviews recent developments at the interface between lattice work on QCD with light dynamical quarks, effective field theory and low energy precision experiments. Then I discuss how dispersion theory can be used to analyze the low energy structure of the scattering amplitude in a model independent manner. This leads to an exact formula for the mass and width of the lowest few resonances, in terms of observable quantities. As an application, I consider the pole position of the σ, paying particular to error propagation in the numerical analysis. The report is based on work done in collaboration with Irinel Caprini and Gilberto Colangelo [1].
Resonances Observed at BES1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973553View Description Hide Description
In last 10 years, resonances have been observed and studied at BES in many processes, such as etc. The results on resonances observed at BES are reviewed.
HEAVY FLAVOR DECAYS AND LIGHT HADRONS IN THE FOCUS EXPERIMENT: RECENT RESULTS1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973554View Description Hide Description
Interpretation of D‐meson decay‐dynamics has revealed itself to be strongly dependent on our understanding of the light‐meson sector. The interplay becomes particularly evident in Dalitz plot analyses to study physics within and beyond the Standard Model. Experience and results from FOCUS are presented and discussed. A brief update of the pentaquark search in the experiment is also reported.
Charm meson spectroscopy at Belle1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973555View Description Hide Description
We report studies of production and decay of charmed mesons performed at Belle. Measurements of production in the and decays are presented. The analysis of the decay and study of the angular distributions in the decay are reported.
Light scalar mesons at KLOE1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973556View Description Hide Description
The scalar mesons of mass below 1 GeV have been studied with the KLOE detector at the Frascati φ‐factory DAΦNE, through the radiative decays of the The has been studied in the decays and looking also for a possible signal of the while for the the decay has been exploited. The branching ratios of these decays have been measured, and the relevant parameters of the scalar mesons have been extracted from the fit of the invariant mass distributions of the pseudoscalar mesons in the final states. Moreover an upper limit for the branching ratio of has been obtained.
New (and Old) Perspectives on Higgs Physics1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973557View Description Hide Description
Old and new ideas regarding Higgs physics are reviewed. We first summarize the quadratic divergence/hierarchy problem which strongly suggests that the SM Higgs sector will be supplemented by new physics at high scales. We next consider means for delaying the hierarchy problem of the SM Higgs sector to unexpectedly high scales. We then outline the properties of the most ideal Higgs boson. The main advantages of a supersymmetric solution to the high scale problems are summarized and the reasons for preferring the next‐to‐minimal supersymmetric model over the minimal supersymmetric model in order to achieve an ideal Higgs are emphasized. This leads us to the strongly motivated scenario in which there is a Higgs h with SM‐like couplings and that decays via with where is preferred, implying The means for detecting an signal are then discussed.
Dynamical Properties of the σ Meson1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973482View Description Hide Description
Studies on the dynamical properties of the σ meson are reviewed and discussed. The important role of fundamental principles such as analyticity, unitarity and crossing symmetry played in the studies are stressed.
and as hadronic molecules1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973483View Description Hide Description
The method is presented which allows to identify hadronic molecules in the resonance spectrum. Applications to light scalar mesons are discussed.
Hadronic Molecules and the1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973484View Description Hide Description
We discuss a possible interpretation of the and mesons as hadronic molecules—a bound state of K and mesons. Using a phenomenological Lagrangian approach we calculate the strong and as well as the electromagnetic and decays. The covariant and gauge invariant model, which also allows for finite size effects of the hadronic molecule, delivers results in good agreement with available data and results of other theoretical approaches.
Radiative decays with and from ChPT at order1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973485View Description Hide Description
A consistent description of the invariant mass distribution in the decay and the in is suggested. A search for the consequences of the flavor symmetry for the scalar mesons can be based on such an analysis. In order to accurately treat the pseudoscalar meson dynamics, which is very important for the scalar meson decays, we employ Resonance Chiral Theory.
Scalar mesons and polarizability of the nucleon1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973486View Description Hide Description
It is shown that the scalar mesons σ, and as t‐channel exchanges quantitatively solve the problem of diamagnetism and give an explanation of the large missing part of the electric polarizability α showing up when only the pion cloud is taken into account. The electric polarizability of the proton confirms a two‐photon width of the σ meson of
Alpha‐Alpha scattering, chiral symmetry and lifetime1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973487View Description Hide Description
Alpha‐alpha scattering is discussed in terms of a chiral two pion exchange potential (TPE) which turns out to be attractive and singular at the origin, hence demanding renormalization. When is treated as a resonance state a model independent correlation between the Q‐factor and lifetime for the decay into two alpha particles arises. For a wide range of parameters compatible with potential model analyses of low energy scattering it is found in fairly good agreement with the experimental value The remaining discrepancy as well as the phase shift up to could be accommodated by the leading nuclear peripheral contributions due to the and continuum.
Screening in the bremsstrahlung reactions and determination of the magnetic moment of the Δ resonance1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973489View Description Hide Description
The new form of current conservation is used for the analytical determination of the dipole magnetic moments of the Δ resonances in the pion‐nucleon bremsstrahlung reaction [1]. This current conservation condition presents a modified Ward‐Takahashi identity for the on shell bremsstrahlung amplitude. According to this identity the internal and external particle radiation parts of the bremsstrahlung amplitude have an opposite sign i.e. they contain terms which cancel each other. Therefore a screening of the internal and external particle radiation in the bremsstrahlung is generated. In particular it is shown, that the internal double A exchange diagram with the vertex cancel with the appropriate longitudinal part of the external particle radiation diagrams. This enables to obtain a model independent estimation of the dipole magnetic moment of and resonances through the anomalous magnetic moment of the proton as and in agreement with the values obtained from the fit of the experimental cross section of the reaction.
Considering pions and nucleons as bound (cluster) states of quarks in the usual quantum field theory [5,6,7,8] a generalization of the suggested approach is suggested [2]. The resulting equations for the external and internal particle radiation amplitudes of the bremsstrahlung reaction have the same form as in formulation without quark degrees of freedom [1]. Therefore the model independent estimation of the dipole magnetic moment of and resonances and in the usual local quantum field theory is preserved in the general quantum field formulation with the quark degrees of freedom.
S‐wave and1030(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973490View Description Hide Description
We report on a dispersion relation for the S‐wave in isospin I emphasizing the low energy region. The signal that emerges in is also discussed. Our results could be used to distinguish between different isoscalar S‐wave parameterizations. We also calculate the width of the σ resonance to and obtain the value Finally, we elaborate on the size of the coupling to and show that its smallness compared to the one is not related to the OZI rule.

Dr. Heffner obtained his medical degree from Wake Forest University and completed specialty training in internal medicine at Emory University and Baylor College of Medicine. He did his subspecialty training in Hematology and Medical Oncology at University of Miami and Emory University after which he was invited to joint the faculty at Emory. Over the past 30 years, Dr. Heffner has been active in clinical research in hematologic malignancies based on drug development protocols and cooperative group phase 2 and 3 protocols through the Southeastern Cancer Study Group and the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group where he has been an active member of the Myeloma Committee. In the past few years this clinical research interest has extended to phase 1 trials, many as first-in-human type.
With this extensive clinical background, Dr. Heffner has helped to begin the clinical multiple myeloma program that has developed nationally through the efforts of clinical colleagues. Currently, he has a goal of developing a similar regional and national program for Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia and has just written a national ECOG-led intergroup protocol for macroglobulinemia and also is local principal investigator for several myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia studies.

No, partly because 7.1 distro does not, and never has existed. Why start
with a server edition if what you wanted was a desktop edition? I think
you will find that this is a classic case of PEBKAC.

Zeb Wells also left the series, this time after 6 issues, and again a rotating cast of writers were employed including Mark Waid and regular Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott.Issues #9 & #10 saw Kelly Sue DeConnick and Terry Dodson take over writing and art duties respectively. Both issues featured Carol Danvers and acted as the prologue to DeConnick's new Captain Marvel series.Zeb Wells returned to write issue #11 which was a special 50th Anniversary issue. Following this the writer and artist rotations resumed with Kevin Shinick and Aaron Kuder writing and illustrating issues #12 & #13 and Cullen Bunn and Gabriele Dell'Otto taking over for issue #14 & #15.Issue 15.1, which directly follows the hugely popular and controversial Amazing Spider-Man #700, saw the new regular writer and artist team of Christopher Yost and Paco Medina take over the series.

great pizza and local guy
by Anthony from Des Moines , 06/28/2011
We were at leaning tower because I was looking for a local pizza place not a chain and I was thrilled with the quality of the pizza and the staff there, very friendly and very quick and the place was packed so I was amazed at the quality of the service. I can get cheaper pizza froma chain but it tastes like it is from a chain I love this place I am really amped I found it and will go back with my family again soon as we all loved it. BRAVO!

party season at aubaine
before i even start talking about the pretty things, or pretty scenery, i have to give huge thanks to the wonderful kit lee. she made time for me in her diary, super last-minute, to help out with this and take photos for me when everything fell through. so thanks, kit - i will now name my first born child after you. or you can just take the kid. whatever you prefer! so anyway; i wanted to do something a little more holistic with this outfit post and show you how i'd style my hair and make up for this little sparkly number. i bought the dress in topshop for about £30, and was worried it made me look like i should be on top of the tree, but decided "hey, it's christmas. if i want to wear what's essentially a skater dress made out of lamé, more power to me". don't you know the figure skater look is very in? the dress is just a bit of fun, really - it'd be perfect for an indoors new years bash. i teamed this with my first ever topshop lipstick, which i bought to replace an armani one i lost (and then promptly found after buying this one. c'est la vie) the shade is "called up" - it's a lovely berry tone that i sort of grabbed on a whim but i'm glad i did. i always get compliments on it, and the staying power is incredible for a high street lipstick. also, it's a lot less drying than more expensive ones i've tried, so two thumbs up. i also did a good sweep of becca's pressed shimmering skin perfector in moonstone, which is a slightly golden tone. i use the real techniques contour brush along the bridge of nose and across my cheekbones, and then buff it in i've been a little heavy handed. it's such a soft-focus finish - super flattering without looking shiny or obvious. it's a perfect, soft alternative to harsher contouring and it gives me a really pretty glow. finally, i am loving bumble & bumble's new pret-a-powder which frustratingly isn't out until 2014 - trust me, it's worth the wait! part dry-shampoo, part-style reviver, you shake it in at the root and it sucks up grease and gives the hair really great body. it's perfect for morning-after styles, or giving your hair some extra oomph. plus, it smells great! we shot this in the beautiful new marylebone branch of aubaine - this is upstairs, which will open to the public soon. i love the food and the coffee at aubaine, so this new central branch makes me seriously excited. it's all great lighting, great people-watching and great macaroons. seriously, the patisserie is to die for, but i love the steak and frites too. in the summer, it'll be a lovely little sun trap, but for now, it's perfect for a spot of afternoon tea or a cosy meal in.
aubaine marylebone is open on 7 moxon street, w1u 4ep

Arthritis Health Center
Drug Already on Market May Be a Boon to Gout Patients
Jan. 5, 2012 -- A drug already on the market for some rare conditions may be able to help many people with the far more common condition of gout.
More than 6 million Americans have experienced gout, an excruciatingly painful form of arthritis that comes on suddenly, leaving sufferers miserable and often unable to walk until the attacks subside.
Gout occurs when uric acid builds up in the body, leading crystals to form that lodge in the joints, often in the big toe. Uric acid levels can increase in the body for many reasons, including diets rich in shellfish, some meats, and alcohol.
Drugs that lower uric acid levels can treat gout over time, but these drugs can cause flares of the painful condition for weeks and even months after they are started.
Now, new research shows that gout sufferers treated with weekly injections of the drug Arcalyst (also known as rilonacept) were much less likely to have painful flares than patients who did not get the drug after beginning allopurinol, a traditional uric acid-lowering treatment used for gout.
The drug appeared to be safe and well tolerated, and it could be a needed alternative to available treatments, such as the commonly prescribed gout drug colchicine, says researcher H. Ralph Schumacher, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania and the VA Medical Center in Philadelphia.
Colchicine can cause nausea, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal symptoms, and many patients can't tolerate it, Schumacher tells WebMD.
"For people who can't take colchicine and who find other drugs ineffective, rilonacept is a very effective alternative," he says.
Gout No Longer 'Disease of Kings'
Gout has historically been known as the "disease of kings" because of its association with the aforementioned foods and drinks once enjoyed only by the rich, such as red meat (especially organ meats), shellfish, and alcohol.
These foods and liquids have high levels of the substance purine, and uric acid is produced by the body when purine is broken down.
Drinking alcohol, being overweight, and taking certain medication, such as diuretics, can make you more likely to have gout.

"That is very true for any walk of life and very true for my character in 'Prison Break' because he's a structural engineer. I did a little bit of reading about that. And structural engineering is the art and science of connectivity. The pieces of a building are all interdependent. My brother in the story is behind the wall and every brick in that wall represents the conspiracy that put him there. My job as his brother and as an engineer is to find that one brick and loosen it. And another and another and hopefully the whole thing will come down."
"There'll be moments when I'm out in the prison yard, chatting with the cast and the crew, getting ready to shoot a scene. And then I'll remember if I were actually an inmate, I'd only be out there an hour. The other 23 hours of the day, I'd be in my cell. It's kind of a downer."
"Hemingway was a prisoner of his style. No one can talk like the characters in Hemingway except the characters in Hemingway. His style in the wildest sense finally killed him."
"[He was convicted in June 2000 of criminal solicitation. He served two years in prison, where he reportedly struck a friendship with] Son of Sam ... a very, very nice, friendly man, but a little overweight."

What is a Community Board?
New York City is divided into 59 geographic Community Districts, each one having an appointed Community Board. The Community Boards are municipal bodies of up to 50 representative Board Members. Board Members are appointed by their respective Borough President, half of them at the recommendation of their local City Council Member. They serve in a voluntary capacity for two-year, staggered terms. Board Members are people who live, work, own a business, or have some other significant interest in the Community District. The Community Board hires a District Manager who is responsible for running the District Office.

Who serves on Brooklyn Community Board 6?
The following is the official list of Board Members of Brooklyn Community Board 6, as supplied by the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President. (updated to 6/6/16)
Download the official membership roster
What does the Community Board do?
The Community Board is the official municipal body whose primary mission is to advise elected officials and government agencies on matters affecting the good and welfare of the district. Brooklyn Community Board 6 meets on the second Wednesday of each month, except during July and August. All meetings are open to the public. In an attempt to maximize accessibility, general meetings are held at different locations within the district. We are your local non-partisan interface to the many offices and agencies of City government.
Sign up for our newsletter, meeting notices and nabelerts!
How does the Community Board function?
The Community Board's general meetings are run according to Roberts Rules of Order. While the public is encouraged to attend and observe Community Board proceedings, only Board Members can discuss and vote on motions before it. The Community Boards were created by City Charter, and their roles and responsibilities are defined in Chapters 69 and 70. They must operate within all applicable City, State and Federal laws that govern public bodies. CB6 also has its own set of by-laws.
We encourage the public to attend the Community Board's various Public Hearings, committee meetings, informational meetings and special events to participate actively in the items before the Community Board at the grassroots level. All meetings of the Community Board are open to the public, and are posted on our online Calendar.
Download the CB6 by-laws
Who does Brooklyn CB6 represent?
Brooklyn CB6 represents the neighborhoods of Carroll Gardens/South Brooklyn, Cobble Hill, Columbia Street District, Gowanus, Park Slope and Red Hook. From the Buttermilk Channel to Prospect Park, 104,709 people (2010 Census figure) choose to our district their home.
Brooklyn Community District 6 maps
What issues does CB6 get involved in?
Community Boards in general have three distinct areas of focus - land use, budget, and service delivery. CB6, in its advisory capacity, sponsors public meetings where topical issues involving the projects, programs and policies that affect the district will be presented, discussed and, at times, debated in an open forum.
Land Use. The Community Board routinely reviews applications that involve the acquisition, disposition and/or significant change of use of City-owned properties. It hosts Public Hearings and sponsors open meetings to discuss and formulate recommendations on land use matters coming before it. The Community Board is the first stage at which land use matters are formally reviewed in accordance with the City's Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP).
In addition to matters pertaining to City property, the Community Board also reviews items related to private properties where property owners are seeking approval to use, develop or otherwise modify a property in a way that would not automatically be allowable under the property's zoning designation. Other forms of land use reviews may involve properties in Landmark Districts or voluntary informational presentations by property owners.
Budget. The Community Boards are required to submit to the Mayor and City Council their Capital (projects) and Expense (programs and services) budget priorities for consideration in the formulation of the City's budget. CB6 is constantly receiving input from the public on projects, programs and services that are needed within the district. While the Community Board submits budget priorities on behalf of the district for consideration, the final decision over which projects, programs and services get funded in the City's budget is made by the Mayor and the City Council, with input from the Borough Presidents.
Service Delivery. The day-to-day processing of citizen complaints and requests for municipal services are handled by the District Office under the supervision of the District Manager. The District Office is prepared to take complaints and requests for service from any constituent of the district. It is important to contact the District Office with complaints and requests for services so that the Community Board can monitor and work toward improving service delivery in the district. Calls such as these also provide the Community Board with important indicators of the levels of resources that might be most needed in the district, reflected by the types of calls received.

What does the District Office do?
The CB6 District Office has two primary functions - to process citizen complaints and requests for services, and to provide administrative support for the Community Board. The District Office maintains all the public records of the activities of the Community Board and is responsible for setting up and preparing notices of all Community Board meetings and functions. Additionally, the District Office reviews Street Activity Permit applications for street fairs, block parties and other street closures, monitors the delivery of municipal services and, in general, acts as a one-stop shopping point for information and referrals pertaining to all City government matters. The District Office is a professional, non-partisan office. There are no fees for any services provided.

How do I apply for a block party permit?
Make sure you leave yourself enough time to organize the event. Applications should be filed 90 days in advance. Applying for a block party is a two-step process:
Step 1) You need to fill out an online application by visiting the city's
Street Activity Permit office.
You will need to pay a $25.75 fee using a credit card.
Step 2) You must provide the CB6 District Office with either a letter from the affected block association, or signatures of 20 residents who live on the block, to demonstrate that they've consented to the block closure. You can mail us your list, fax it (718) 624 8410, or email a scanned copy to officemanager (at) brooklyncb6 (dot) org.
Your permit may be marked as "denied" if you have not delivered your signatures to the District Office. Once we receive those signatures we will revisit the application.
Petition template
What kinds of complaints does CB6 handle?
Any complaint that involves a municipal service can be reported to the District Office.
We strongly encourage the use of the City's 311 system for reporting routine maintenance requests including but not limited to potholes, tree pruning, missing or damaged signs, street light malfunctions, and clogged catch basins.
Be the eyes and ears of the City and take away the satisfaction of knowing you've had a positive impact. Your direct action will improve the quality of life for you and all your neighbors.
How do I report a complaint?
Email us at email@example.com. Call the District Office at (718) 643-3027. Fax us at (718) 624-8410. Write to us or visit our District Office at 250 Baltic Street in Cobble Hill during regular business hours. We want to hear from you!
Please note all pertinent information (e.g., exact location or street address, cross streets, etc.) related to the type of complaint you wish to report. Not having sufficient information may only serve to delay our efforts to help resolve the problem. We suggest that you have as much information as possible available at the time that you call. Remember, in order for us to help resolve your complaint, you must help us by accurately identifying the problem. The District Office will followup with you in writing.
How do I get a street renamed (co-named)?
The City of New York's official policy for street co-namings begins with a request being made directly to the Community Board. Brooklyn CB6 requires that a petition with at least 20 names with corresponding addresses of block residents be submitted, together with a written explanation providing the reasoning and justification for the co-naming. If the street is to be co-named after an individual, it may only be done posthumously, and the reasoning and justification should include a biographical sketch of the individual that specifically links them to the block.

How can I get more involved in CB6?
Easy! There are several things you can do to get more involved in CB6 -
1) REPORT a service complaint or request for service to the District Office.
2) ATTEND a meeting of the Community Board. Call or email the District Office and ask to be put on our mailing list to get a monthly calendar of the meetings of CB6 (general and committee meetings) with their respective locations and a digest of their agendas.
3) SPONSOR or attend a Block, Civic or Merchant Association meeting. CB6 has over 200 active organizations in the district that focus on issues, problems and concerns at a more grassroots level. If you want to know whether your block has an association, or would like information regarding any other community-based organization, call the District Office.
4) JOIN a CB6 committee. Each year CB6 takes in applications from non-Board Members who are interested in serving on CB6's standing committees. It is generally advisable that you attend a meeting prior to requesting membership in order to give you firsthand exposure to how the committees function and the types of issues they routinely discuss. If you're ready to take that next step, see question below.
5) APPLY to the Community Board. Many non-Board Members who join committees eventually are interested in applying for Board membership. You may do so by either contacting the Brooklyn Borough President's Office at (718) 802-3700, or by contacting your local Council Member. Use the link below to get more information and an application directly from the Borough President's Office.

How do I join a CB6 Committee?
Although CB6 committee membership must be composed primarily of a majority of Board Members, membership is also open to Non-Board Members as well. This allows for broader, grassroots public representation on the Community Boards standing committees, and encourages and facilitates citizen participation in local government within our communities. The Brooklyn CB6 district includes the neighborhoods of Carroll Gardens/South Brooklyn, Cobble Hill, Columbia Street District, Gowanus, Park Slope, and Red Hook.
Individuals who wish to serve on a committee can download the form by clicking below and returning it to the CB6 District Office at 250 Baltic Street (between Court/Clinton Streets), Monday through Friday between the hours of 10AM and 4PM, or fax it to (718) 624-8410. Appointments to committees for a one-year term are effective September 1. Non-Board Members who are appointed to a committee enjoy the same participatory rights and are expected to fulfill the same member-related responsibilities as Board Members serving on committees.
Economic/Waterfront/Community Development & Housing
Environmental Protection/Permits & Licenses
Landmarks/Land Use
Parks/Recreation/Cultural Affairs
Transportation/Public Safety
Youth/Human Services/Education
Committee Membership Request forms must be received at the District Office by the end of June for consideration in initial annual reconstitution of committees. Additional requests for membership may be made at any other time throughout the year, but appointments will be made subject to availability of openings.
Download the CB6 Committee Membership Request form (2015-16)
When do the committees meet?
The various committees of CB6 meet on regular fixed nights, mostly during the 3rd and 4th weeks of the month. We occasionally have to reschedule meetings largely due to holiday conflicts but sometimes because we will hold joint meetings sponsored by more than one committee. All meetings are open to the public and are posted on our website Calendar which is updated frequently.

Welcome to Tucson! The Padres say goodbye to the Rose City and hello to a place considerably hotter. The biggest question might be will AAA fans show up for a new team who only plans on staying there for a few years? Either way the Padres' AAA affiliate really can't get much worse than last year when they finished 59-85. The Beavers pitching wasn't the biggest culprit as they finished in the middle of the pack in nearly all pitching categories. However, outside of the bullpen, no pitcher had anything close to a good year. The good news is that many of the "organizational depth" pitchers that have come through AAA in the past few years are slowly being replaced by legitimate prospects. The interesting thing in terms of predictions will be which "organizational depth" pitchers the Padres keep, and which ones are released during spring training (for instance Josh Geer, Nathan Culp, and Will Inman are all still part of the Padres organization).
The rotation:
1) Simon Castro RHP (AA, 7-6, 2.92 ERA, 129.2 IP, 107 H, 36 BB, 107 K). Castro was last years #1 prospect in the Padres farm system, and also got the honor of being the starter for the world team in the MLB Futures game. At 22 it is hard to say that those numbers were disappointing, but most of us expected to see a bit more from this breakout Dominican pitcher. Anyone who is reading this already knows anything and everything about Simon Castro so I don't need to say much else.
2) Cory Luebke LHP (AA/AAA 10-1, 2.68 ERA, 114 IP, 83 H, 29 BB, 88 K). Luebke will be given a shot to win the 5th starter spot with the Padres, but my guess is that when the dust is settled Luebke will at least begin the year in AAA. After a horrendous 1st half in 2008 that saw Luebke go 3-6 with a 6.84 ERA in Elsinore, Luebke has turned things around and become the pitcher the Padres thought he could be when they drafted him in the supplemental 1st round. Luebke is extremely smart, knows how to pitch, and keeps the ball down. He will probably begin the year in AAA but don't expect him here for long. Lueke may not have the ceiling of Castro, Kelly, or a few of the other Padre pitching prospects, but a #4 type starter + left handed + Petco = double digit wins and a 3.6 ERA.
3) Jeremy Hefner RHP (AA 11-8, 2.95 ERA, 167.2 IP, 156 H, 51 BB, 115 K). Hefner is the pitcher who has been called, on multiple occasions, "the forgotten man." For the past few years he has been stuck in a rotation featuring top prospects such as the 2 above him, Wynn Pelzer (now with Baltimore) and Corey Kluber (now with Cleveland). Luckily the Padres did not forget him when they added him to the 40 man roster during the offseason. Unspectacular but constantly efficient Hefner has an opportunity to prove the 2010 was not a fluke by putting up solid numbers in Tucson. At best Hefner is a #4 MLB starter, at worst he should be a 4A starter. Either or means that we should see a good season from Hefner.
4) Erik Davis RHP (A/AA/AAA 14-3, 3.52 ERA, 143.1 IP, 134 H, 48 BB, 133 K). There is a chance Davis starts the year in San Antonio, but when you go 4-0 with a 2.75 ERA, in 7 starts in AA I think he will get a long look at cracking the AAA staff. Add the fact that Davis has led the organization in wins 2 years in a row now (16-6 in 2009). Think of Davis as a right handed Wade Leblanc. The change isn't as good, but the rest of his pitches are slightly better. He might end up fitting into the mold of a Josh Geer but definitely deserves a shot at either San Antonio or Tucson.
5) Will Inman RHP (AAA, 2-4, 3.61 ERA, 62.1 IP, 54 H, 27 BB, 52 K) Poor Will Inman. 4 years ago he was voted as the top pitcher in all of class A (by milb.com) after going 10-2, with a 1.71 ERA, and 134 K compared to 24 BB in 110 IP. Inman was the cornerstone of the Linebrink deal, and while we knew his stuff wouldn't equate to all star MLB pitcher we all thought that he would end up being more than we have seen. Inman was actually posting his best year in the PCL before the flu and an elbow strain ended his season. Inman has always gotten by with great deception and a plus curve, however in AAA an average fastball can still be belted a long way with or without deception. Combine that with non fluid mechanics and the walks have soared. This might be Inman's last year with the Padres. If he can't put up the numbers he will be wearing another uniform by the end of 2011.
Others of note: Josh Geer is still hanging around. Sam Deduno will bounce between starting and relief, he will be talked about later. Casey Kelly will be in AAA by the all star break. Then there are the "others" that will pop up and make an appearance.
Closer: Craig Italiano RHP (AA, 4-6, 2.58 ERA, 52 IP, 43 H, 27 BB, 36 K). Those stats are somewhat misleading as Italiano returned from an injury too soon and wasn't the same. His 4-1, 0.72 ERA, 16 SV in 17 chances is more telling. The injury cost Italiano a spot on the 40 man roster, but luckily no one claimed him and he resigned with the Padres. If healthy and back to form Italiano is a HARD throwing righty who throws the ball from a very low ¾ giving him great downward action and making it extremely hard to hit. Combine a mid 90s fastball, trick arm angle, a sharp slider, and an ok change and you have the Texas Leagues top closer in 2010 (as voted on by BA)
8th inning: Evan Scribner: RHP (AA, 4-5, 2.79 ERA, 66 IP, 51 H, 15 BB, 81 K) Great command + + 12-6 curveball, low 90s FB with good sink, deceptive delivery, and you have all the makings for a solid back end of the rotation pitcher and either AAA or the majors. Scribner doesn't have the heavy heat of Italiano, but he will join Frieri, Webb, and Gregerson in a long line of great young Padre relievers.
7th inning: Luis Perdomo: RHP (AAA, 4-6, 3.40 ERA, 82 IP 76 H, 34 BB, 49 K). Mid 90s FB, good slider, solid change. Perdomo has all the makings of a solid back end of the rotation pitcher. The problem is, and always has been control. When Perdmo is on his game he is nearly unhittable. When he is off he misses, and badly. IF Perdomo ever gets the command that they know he is capable of, he can be a big asset in San Diego.
Others: LHP Aaron Poreda (1-2, 3.83 ERA, 54 IP, 64 BB, 47 K) has arguably the best stuff of any pitcher in Portland, he also has the least control. Thought is always that if he can ever come close to spotting his pitches he can be a #2 MLB starter or a top 5 MLB closer. But the chances of that are getting less and less likely. Mike DeMark struggled early in Portland but became one of the Beaver's best pitchers with a 2.89 ERA, 18.2 IP, 19 K post all star break. Bryan Oland has great stuff but is often lost in such a deep pen. Finally Sam Deduno is old for the PCL at 27, but has averaged 10 K/9 and has 2 legit strikeout pitches. He will probably be the long man in the pen, and has another opportunity to shine and hopefully get back to the majors.

The four-times world champion has cut a troubled figure in recent times in trying to find some consistency using several new cues to enhance his game, but always looked the likelier player against a strangely subdued Bingham at London's Alexandra Palace.
His reward is a match with defending Masters champion Mark Selby, who edged Mark Davis 6-5 earlier on Sunday.
With five Masters titles between Higgins and Selby, that should make for an engrossing quarter-final on Thursday evening.
The Scotsman - winner of the Masters in 1999 and 2006 - has done little or nothing of note since losing 10-7 to Neil Robertson in the Wuxi Classic final in China last June having won the Bulgarian Open with a 4-1 win over Robertson a fortnight earlier.
"I've played better than I've played in the past few months," said Higgins. "Stuart didn't play well at all. I didn't expect him to miss some of the balls he missed.
"I was in the depths of despair after losing to Stephen (Maguire) at the UK Championship last month. I basically threw the old cue away. My mate Raymond back in Scotland made me four new cues, and I picked up this one right away.
"I feel a lot more confident playing with this cue than I have been in the past few months so it is a start for me.
Higgins added: "You can only tell you what your inside is telling you. I was basically in turmoil the past few months, and didn't know where I was going. I practiced hard over Christmas, and I felt my tempo was a lot better around the table.
"It is heartbreaking when your tempo is not up, but it is different when you are happy and making breaks. It is a big positive for me.
"We've only been here twice, but this is a lot better than the Wembley Arena. I felt that was a soulless venue. This is a lot better.
"My brother is flying down from London for a few days so I'll practice and spend a couple of nights with him before he goes back up the road on Wednesday. He probably thought I'd lose again and he'd miss me...
"I feel I can give Mark a game, even though I'll be the underdog again."
Breaks of 50, 94, 65 and 109 helped carry Higgins to the cusp of a place in the quarter-finals here and a 5-1 advantage before Bingham sprung to life with a 91 in the seventh frame.
Higgins had picked up a scrappy opening frame, and should have moved 2-0 ahead, but was let down by a poor positional shot in trying to land on the pink from blue.
Higgins missed a tough cut on the final black moments later that would have finally sealed the frame. Bingham potted black before a loose safety shot enabled Bingham to level at 1-1 by repeating the dosage on the re-spotted black.
His opponent would not be deterred as several errors by Bingham saw Higgins snare the next four frames with minimal fuss.
He finally secured his place in the last eight when Bingham played one sloppy safety shot too many in the eighth frame.
Bingham has never been beyond the first round of the Masters. The Basildon man was disappointed having overcome Ronnie O'Sullivan in the UK Championship last eight last month before losing 9-8 to Neil Robertson in an epic semi-final.
"It is disappointing, but you don't deserve to win when you play like that," said Bingham. "It was comical stuff with three and four chances a frame. John didn't need to be at his best to beat me."

Roberts wants pay raises for federal judges
Chief justice says salary is the reason judges leave the bench
Published: Sunday, January 1, 2006 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 31, 2005 at 11:00 p.m.
WASHINGTON | In his first year-end assessment of the federal judiciary, Chief Justice John Roberts urged Congress to increase judicial pay to help keep good judges on the bench and to recruit new ones.
Roberts, who succeeded the late William Rehnquist, warned Congress that judges pay is an issue that is driving them off the bench and deterring qualified lawyers from throwing their names into consideration for judgeships.
A strong and independent judiciary is not something that, once established, maintains itself," Roberts wrote. It is instead a trust that every generation is called upon to preserve, and the values it secures can be lost as readily through neglect as direct attack."
In many of his 19 year-end reports, Rehnquist put judicial pay raises at the top of his wish list for Congress consideration, once noting wryly that he realized he was beating a dead horse."
Roberts opened his report on the federal courts by insisting that he didnt want to seem presumptuous after just three months on the job. But, like Rehnquist, he did not mince words on the pay issue and called it a direct threat to judicial independence."
He said judges are leaving the bench in greater numbers than ever before, compared to the 1960s when only a handful of federal judges retired or resigned. Since 1990, he said, 92 judges have left the bench, 59 of them to go into more lucrative private practice. In the past five years, 37 judges have left, nine of them last year, Roberts said.
Real pay for judges has declined substantially, the chief justice said. If Congress gave judges a raise of 30 percent tomorrow, judges would -- after adjusting for inflation -- be making about what judges made in 1969," he wrote. This is not fair to our nations federal judges and should not be allowed to continue."
Roberts said judges understand the difficult funding choices Congress must make. But the courts play an essential role in ensuring that we live in a society governed by the rule of law," he wrote. In order to preserve the independence of our courts, we must ensure that the judiciary is provided the tools to do the job."
The chief justice also asked Congress to help the judiciary ward off its landlord, the General Services Administration. Roberts said the courts spent 16 percent of its 2005 budget on rent, while the Justice Department paid only 3 percent of its budget to the GSA.
In fiscal year 2005, Roberts said, the judiciary paid $926 million to GSA in rent. The GSAs actual cost for providing space to the courts was only $426 million, he said.
It is unfair for the courts to pay more than other agencies, Roberts said. The federal judiciary cannot continue to serve as a profit center for GSA," he said.
Roberts also urged Congress to pay for increased security for judges, noting the murders in early 2005 of the mother and husband of a federal judge in Chicago.
The year-end report showed that the Supreme Courts docket continues to decrease while federal courts across the nation are experiencing record increases.
Bankruptcy filings skyrocketed to nearly 1.8 million, largely because of the rush to beat a new law that went into effect this year that limits such cases, he said.
Filings in the appellate courts rose 9 percent to an all-time high of more than 68,000 in 2005. Roberts said the numbers would have been higher if Hurricane Katrina hadnt disrupted operations at the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Court of Appeals in September.

The House on Mango Street
by Sandra Cisneros
The House on Mango Street Identity Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
You will always be Esperanza. You will always be Mango Street. You can't erase what you know. You can't forget who you are. (41.32)
Like it or not, Esperanza has to face the fact that her experiences on Mango Street have shaped her identity. Somehow, the place that Esperanza has lived for a year has become part of who she is.
Quote #8
I make a story for my life, for each step my brown shoe takes. I say, "And so she trudged up the wooden stairs, her sad brown shoes taking her to the house she never liked." (44.2)
We love the ambiguity of the phrase "I make a story for my life." Yes, Esperanza is a character who takes her life and makes a story for it – her storytelling makes her life more bearable. But she's also a fictional character in a story we're reading – her life is a story. Here, Esperanza's story about her sad brown shoes, a story within a story, highlights her identity as both storyteller and fictional character.
Quote #9
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much. (44.5)
Esperanza has really embraced her identity as a writer in the last chapter of the novel. When Esperanza describes Mango Street as "the ghost," it's as if she's already projecting herself into a future in which she's moved away from her childhood home, and Mango Street is merely a memory whose pain is eased by writing.

|Tilcara, Jujuy, Argentina
|La Cascada in Tilcara, Jujuy, Argentina
- Soy Milanesa / Milanesa de soja
(this is surprisingly similar in flavor and texture to Quorn brand Chik Patties. I'd recommend either buying that or another chicken-inspired veggie burger or making your own using this recipe by Rebecca at From Argentina with Love)
- Fried eggs
(1 per sandwich)
- Bread for the sandwiches
(Use a nice hearty whole wheat or a ciabatta)
- Sliced white cheese
- Lettuce
- Tomato, sliced
- Pickled carrots and cucumbers
(recipe follows)
- If making the milanesas from scratch do that first.
|(These are mine)
- Turn on your oven's broiler and let it heat up about 15 minutes, then broil the bread for about 5 minutes to give it a crispy crunch. Remove bread from oven, top with cheese, and return to oven for 5 or 10 more minutes, or until it's nice and melty.
- While the broiler is going, fry the eggs and cook the milanesas in a hot frying pan according to Rebecca's directions or Chik pattie or other veggie burger according to package directions.
- Place milanesa or veggie pattie onto bread and cheese, then top with lettuce, tomato, carrots, cucumber, onions, and garlic.
- 1 cucumber
- 1 carrot
- ¼ of 1 onion
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 cloves of garlic, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Cut carrot and cucumbers into matchsticks. Thinly slice onion.
- In a clean 1-pint jar, (I like to use an old pickle or jam jar) combine vinegar, water, bay leaf, salt, and sugar, and shake until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Add cucumber, carrot, onion, and garlic. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour and up to 1 week.
- This will make enough for around 5 sandwiches. Can be stored in jar for up to 1 week.
