"If you spend that time with the work you'll see the complexity. The painting will then come to you. Sometimes you have to allow that type of looking. Sometimes it can take days to know what to do next in a work. If I don't have access one day, I can try and work on something different, but sometimes I don't have access into any of them and I have to draw."

I'm a new PMS user and very impressed. However, one thing I've noticed is that when the PMS service is running a connection is made from my server to an internet address. 188.8.131.52.
This address seems to belong to a company in the states - fastly.com - who specialise in streaming content so I guess that makes sense. However, I would like to know what this connection is doing and does PMS need it to be established for any reason???
Can't seem to find any information regarding this on the forums.
Many thanks

According to ABC ePrep, it looks like one member of PAPA ROACH may really become a papa soon. People magazine reports that drummer Dave Buckner and his wife — plus-size model and Steven Tyler offspring Mia Tyler — are planning to have a baby. Tyler says, "We were going to wait, but we don't get to see each other all the time." To get in shape for the babymaking, Mia plans to lose 20 pounds next year on a new VH1 reality show called "Celebrity Fit Club".

Researchers convert astrocytes directly into dopamine-producing nerve cells of the midbrain
PHILADELPHIA – In efforts to find new treatments for Parkinson's Disease (PD), researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have directly reprogrammed astrocytes, the most plentiful cell type in the central nervous system, into dopamine-producing neurons. PD is marked by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain. Dopamine is a brainchemical important in behavior and cognition, voluntary movement, sleep, mood, attention, and memory and learning.
"These cells are potentially useful in cell-replacement therapies for Parkinson's or in modeling the disease in the lab," says senior author John Gearhart, PhD, director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine (IRM) at Penn. The team reports their findings in PLoS One.
"Our study is the first to demonstrate conversion of astrocytes to midbrain dopaminergic neurons, opening the door for novel reprogramming strategies to treat Parkinson's disease," says first authorRussell C. Addis, PhD, a senior research investigator with IRM. Click here to read the rest of the article.

Between the years of 2009-2011, the Northgate High boys volleyball team went on an impressive run.
Over those three seasons, the Broncos went 98-11, including a North Coast Section Division I title in 2009 went they went 34-1.
Last year, a bit of a dip came as the team went 16-9, but after one season of not being an NCS force, Northgate looks ready to be back.
"We're a young squad with only two seniors, but the majority of the team has all played together before and early on they are executing well and demonstrating solid fundamentals," Northgate coach Vince Cutaia said. "We are short-term goal oriented, focusing on what is in front of us right now and I think keeping that focus all season long, we'll find ourselves right in the mix of the DVAL top spots."
The Broncos have a couple of very big obstacles, one in the Diablo Valley Athletic League play and one in the Division II playoffs. College Park, perhaps the best Division I team, looks to be the league favorite, and in Division II, defending champion Campolindo also looks like a heavy favorite. The Cougars, ranked No. 1, and the Falcons, No. 3, enter the season as some of the top teams in the East Bay.
However, the Division II bracket has cleared up a bit with Sir Francis Drake, a team that beat Northgate in both 2010 and 2011, moving down to Division III.
With five very talented hitters, all underclassmen, the Broncos are going to pose trouble for any team they play. The group is led by juniors Will Wright, Sam Poden, Matt Hall and sophomore twins Chris and Jackson McDonough.
"As a young team, learning to work together, court presence, coverage, positive mental attitude and trusting your teammates are all goals we'll continue to focus on this season," Cutaia said.
That same young team is very talented, good listeners and their willingness to work hard on fundamentals and practical application will allow to grow both individually and as a team.
The Broncos earned bragging rights on March 7 with an intense 25-19, 16-25, 21-25, 25-21, 15-10 victory over crosstown rival Las Lomas. Jackson McDonough and Eddie Carson both had 10 kills. Carson also added eight blocks.

NASA Wallops Center, Wallops Island, Va.
Closer than Space Camp but just as exotic, Wallops Island is a functioning arm of NASA -- a center for aeronautic research where regular rocket launches are conducted. An onsite visitors center includes programs and exhibits designed to teach visitors about the past, present and future of NASA. Distance from Ocean City: 47 miles What to do: "The Visitor Center has various programs showing the types of things we do at Wallops and throughout NASA," says Keith Koehler from the Wallops Center's Office of Communications. Hands-on exhibits and model rocket launches will engage kids of all different ages. When to go: During the summer, the NASA Visitor Center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Rocket launches are scheduled throughout the summer; check the Wallops Island website for schedules. Where to eat: Though food isn't available at Wallops, Koehler recommends stopping at one of the restaurants on nearby Chincoteague Island before or after your visit. Don't miss: The Visitor Center is fun, but "a rocket launch is always a great thing to see," says Koehler. "We have lots of large and small launches planned for June through September." He warns, though, that for various reasons, launch schedules can change at the last minute. "So don't plan your whole vacation around a launch."

A 40-year-old Inyokern man lost his life early Monday morning in a motorcycle accident near Highway 395.
According to a California Highway Patrol press release Mark Smoot was riding a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle eastbound Athel Avenue shortly after midnight. As he approached the highway, he failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway. The motorcycle left the paved portion of the road and continued into the open desert area.
Smoot was ejected from his motorcycle and sustained major injuries. He was transported to Ridgecrest Regional Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Smoot was wearing a helmet, and the cause of this collision remains under investigation.

The Daily Start-Up: SpaceX Blasts Off With $50M
This morning's roundup of the latest venture capital news and analysis across the Web:
Sometimes it seems like all venture capitalists care about these days are small, capital efficient plays, but that's not entirely true. Take Space Exploration Technologies Inc., better known as SpaceX, which earlier this year launched the first privately financed spaceship capable of carrying humans into space. Now it has rounded up $50 million from its investors, who have already put about $35 million into the company, which is preparing to begin ferrying cargo to the International Space Station. Backers include early-stage venture firms Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Founders Fund. Read more in VentureWire.
It wasn't all that long ago that Google Inc. seemed like the hottest company on the planet. Now it is battling for talent with rivals such as venture-backed Facebook Inc. The Mountain View, Calif., company is handing out 10% raises at its Googleplex, but as a public company has trouble competing with private companies that can lure software engineers with pre-IPO stock as well as offering competitive salaries starting at $120,000 a year, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The tablet computer war is heating up with the entrance of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg calls it the iPad's "first credible competitor" and over at the New York Times, David Pogue likes it too, although he has reservations about the $600 price.
A start-up aimed at improving photo-sharing on mobile devices has landed a $5 million investment from closely watched venture firm Andreessen Horowitz, the New York Times reports. Mixed Media Labs developed the PicPlz app, which lets people enhance and distribute cellphone pictures.
Predictors of a big wave of technology buying by corporations had some cold water tossed on their thesis by Cisco Systems Inc., which issued a bearish forecast while reporting strong quarterly results. "We are obviously not projecting growth as fast as we would like over the next several quarters," said Cisco CEO John Chambers.

DUBLIN -- The City of Dublin has begun the process of bringing a Lazy Dog restaurant branch to the former Macaroni Grill site near Hacienda Crossings that has been vacant since April 2012.
The city Planning Commission unanimously adopted a resolution Jan. 14 approving a site development review permit to allow the Lazy Dog franchise to demolish the vacant building at 4805 Hacienda Drive and build one of its restaurants along with some improvements to the site.
"With the development coming adjacent to the Hacienda Crossings, it's almost like we're creating a downtown feel in Dublin," said Commissioner Rameet Kohli. "So I'm excited for Lazy Dog to come and to be able to check it out."
Officials representing Lazy Dog -- a casual-dining, bar-and-grill chain -- told the commission that they were on schedule to obtain the necessary permits to demolish the old Macaroni Grill site by Feb. 3 and that the demolition process would take about a month.
The south side of the site faces Mimi's Café, which is located only a few feet away, but the two entities are likely to work together well during the building process. Chris Simms, the founder and owner of Lazy Dog, is the son of Tom Simms, who founded the Mimi's Café chain.
In addition to the restaurant construction, Lazy Dog has agreed to transplant several maple trees, and two large redwoods to the site. During the Jan. 14 meeting, Commissioner Arun Goel urged Lazy Dog to ensure that there would be aesthetic continuity between the Lazy Dog site and other ongoing developments in the area. Several commissioners indicated they had visited the area's nearest Lazy Dog site, located in Concord, as part of their decision-making process.

FO: Black and White Socks
Hello, knitters.
I have a little story with these socks that features a new animal to match the socks :)
I didn't do a very good job changing colours... for some reason the yarn is pulling and it looks like the socks have a seam on a side. But otherwise they are a nice beginning of "manly" sock collection for my son, who absolutely didn't mind wearing socks in happy pink, purple and orange colours before.
By the way, the Flikr changed a few things around (I only use it for KH) and it took me a while to figure out how to fish out the photo link :)
Love the conversation and the socks. The stripes in black and white are indeed very manly. Well done! Always nice to see your posts, Olha.
Love the story!! Those look great! Did you try a jogless method? I find I'm doing a lot of helix stripes which are single row. No crossing of yarns, no jog, no pulling of yarns at the join. It just works.
Thanks! I lurk here from time to time, adore other people's projects and pull myself away from the computer :)
Thanks, Jan, and what are helix stripes? I did the jogless method and it worked fine, but maybe three rounds were too 'tall", and I had to go with two? I think for very contrast yarns like black and white thin stripes can make you dizzy, you know? :)
What a sweet story, Olha, and a delightful pair of socks! They grow up so fast, don't they?
Thanks, I needed that story today. The socks are definitely masculine. Little feet are so cute.
Love the white and black streaks, very nice!
To GrumpyGramma -- you are most welcome. Also, your signature made me laugh :)
Nice to hear from you, Olha!
Great story!
Love the socks!
Working with black yarn usually makes me crazy but am making a black stole for my daughter and actually enjoying it!

Check it out: Broadband, Dial-Up."So" comes off the group's third full-length album, "Shadow Zone", which was released last October through Warner Bros. Records. The follow-up to 2001's "Machine" was produced by Josh Abraham (STAIND, LIMP BIZKIT, UNWRITTEN LAW) and features a session appearance by drummer Josh Freese of A PERFECT CIRCLE and THE VANDALS fame. The group, who split with original drummer Ken Jay early last year, have since recruited a full-time replacement in the shape of Nick Oshiro (ex-SEETHER).

This post is about the simple process of business startup — spending money to make money.
Some say it is possible to make money without spending any money, and frankly I don't believe that's possible. You will either spend time or money to get a business going, and most folks will tell you time is money.
Just to humor those who want to run a business with no startup costs, there's your chart on the left. (Click the charts for bigger images and slideshow.) You start with no money, and gradually, little by little, over a long period of time, you begin to make some money, and then a little more, and a little more. You could probably accomplish the same thing by emptying your pocket change into a jar every week and saving it.
A more typical business plan is to budget some set amount to spend on the initial startup cost, try to maintain that budget steadily, and achieve some reasonable profit within a projected amount of time. Once you reach profitability, your business expenses are being paid from the income generated.
It is reasonable to think that the more money you can put into the start of a business, the sooner you will reach profitability, and the greater your ongoing profit will be. Projecting those two elements — time to profitability, and rate of income — are part of the challenge of starting and running a business. (And also part of the excitement and adventure!) But a greater rate of spending at startup requires a bigger chunk of money to begin with.
You may, as a new business owner, go to a lender, present a business plan, and borrow a portion of that money, based on your projections of a reasonable time to profit and a generous rate of income following. But let's keep this simple and say you're going to start this business with your own savings. So you estimate how much you'll spend each month, and you budget accordingly. Then you start spending the money and your business is off to the races.
These next charts show the expense/income lines combined into net cash flow. At business startup money is going out; as the timeline progresses more and more money is coming in, and eventually income matches expense and you've reached profitability. After that your business is earning more than it is spending. You can start paying yourself a salary from the business, and the earnings can begin to fund further expenditures in the future.
If fortune shines on you (and you have some business savvy) your business develops nicely, you reach profitability sooner than expected, and the income your initial investment has generated is heading skyward. Nice job, way to go!
But perhaps your business hits a few bumps along the road to profitability. Maybe some unforeseen expenses, additional fees, wages, taxes, etc. These added costs push the time-to-profit further out. Or maybe you discover the business is not as lucrative as you first imagined, and the profit is slower to grow. Ok, that happens, no need to beat yourself up about it, and eventually you reach profitability and everything is gravy.
The last possibility is one no business person wishes to contemplate, but it happens often enough… You set your spending with the expectation of reaching profitability within a reasonable amount of time, with a reasonable amount of return. Everything looks good, maybe you can even see the curve turning up ahead, but you run out of money before reaching that profit point. Once you're out of money it's like someone pulled the handbrake on your business. You've just crashed and burned. A lot of money spent, and very little to show for it.
I hope that never happens to you! Whether you start with $1,000 or $4,000 or $50,000 of your own money, I hope you turn a profit well before the money is gone, and that the income keeps growing more and more over time. Best of success to you!

Can You Charge Two Defendants With The Same Bribe?
A former manager of Swiss engineering firm ABB Ltd. charged under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is citing the recent dismissal of an FCPA conviction against Lindsey Manufacturing Co. in his defense.
Defendant John O'Shea pointed to the dismissal in a court filing Tuesday, arguing prosecutors couldn't introduce evidence related to a Ferrari and a yacht he allegedly used to bribe a Mexican official, because prosecutors had hung the same bribes on executives of Lindsey.
The two cases share the same middle-man who allegedly funneled bribes for both O'Shea and Lindsey. Prosecutors say the intermediary, Angela Aguilar, used one of her companies, Grupo International, to direct the bribes to Nester Moreno, an official at Mexico's state-owned electricity utility.
"Defendant John O'Shea requests that the Court preclude the government from introducing any evidence regarding the Ferrari and yacht purchased for Nestor Moreno because the government has already attributed these alleged bribes to the defendants in [the Lindsey case] similarly alleging that bribes were paid to CFE employees," O'Shea's lawyers wrote in the filing. "On December 1, 2011, the Honorable Howard Matz issued an order in that case vacating the convictions and granting the defendants' motion to dismiss for prosecutorial misconduct. The court's order explains that money from the Grupo account paid for Nestor Moreno's Ferrari and yacht."
O'Shea was charged in Houston's U.S. District Court in 2010 with one count of conspiracy to violate the FCPA, 12 counts of violating the FCPA, four counts of international money laundering and one count of falsifying records. In addition to the intermediary, the O'Shea and Lindsay cases also share the same prosecutor, Nicola Mrazek.
In a scathing 41-page ruling, Matz threw out the the Lindsey conviction last week, the department's first-ever conviction of a corporation under the FCPA, citing "flagrant" prosecutorial misconduct. The Justice Department has indicated it will appeal.
Lindsey Manufacturing, an Azusa, Calif.-based maker of emergency electricity towers, and two of its executives, Keith Lindsey and Steve Lee, were convicted in May of paying bribes to officials at the Mexican state-owned utility Comisión Federal de Electricidad, or CFE, from 2002 to 2009 for supply contracts. The Mexican sales agent, Aguilar, was also convicted and sentenced to time served.
FCPA observers have speculated that Matz's ruling could affect other FCPA cases. O'Shea's motion on Tuesday appears to be the first court reference to the decision. His trial is set to begin in Houston in January. O'Shea is represented by Joel Androphy and Sarah M. Frazier of Berg and Androphy.

How to Sing Like a Professional
Here are some basic steps for improving your singing and hopefully to help you aim at becoming a professional singer. All you have to do is just sing. Just singing your way helps you understand your own pitch, but your own pitch may not be as well as professional pitches, and you are going to need to improve every day.
1Hold the microphone (if you're using one) slightly away from your mouth. You don't want your lips to be touching it, as it will make the lyrics sound garbled/mumbled or muffled.
2Sing whenever and wherever you can. This is the most important thing of all. If you love singing, you should do everything to improve yourself to help you become a professional. Be wary of the people around you, however, as they may not be too fond with the idea of a person constantly singing. No matter how good you sound.
3Be confident. Tell yourself that you can do anything and that you sound brilliant. If you don't believe in yourself, then why should anyone else?
4Make sure your voice is strong before you start. Take voice lessons and exercise your voice. Your instructor can also give you a more objective view of your capabilities, and tell you whether professional singing could be an option for you.
5Lose your shyness. Don't try to hold your voice. Show your talent to the people and sing out loud.
6Be the lead singer while singing with others. When you are singing with other people, you can take charge of the melody of the song while the rest do the blending or backup.
7Sing from your diaphragm. Make sure you get your voice from your diaphragm and not from your throat. [Breathe|breathe]]! in through the nose and slowly out through the mouth.
8Open your mouth wide enough. Especially with pronouncing vowels, you have to open your mouth wide. Try fitting your three fingers. If you feel like you're practically smiling when you sing, you might sound kind of nasally.
9Stand up straight, but not too straight. Stand as you normally would, and relax your shoulders. If your shoulders are tense, it's more difficult to breathe correctly. Take a deep breath or two and slightly loosen or relax your stance from the initial pose. Keep one leg slightly back from the other and knee slightly bent Don't lock your knees.
10Have a teacher or a friend who knows how to sing help you. It seems odd, but sometimes singers need help remembering to breathe, or they'll run out of breath. If they remind you to breathe in between each phrase, you won't run out.
11Practice! We all know practice makes perfect (or as close to perfect as we'll get). If you keep singing the same songs over and over again experimenting with dynamics, you'll sound great. Little things like that make a huge difference in your overall performance.
Community Q&A
How do you get better at singing?wikiHow ContributorPractice! Breathe deeply, figure out what postures let you build your vocal strength, and try singing to yourself in the mirror. It really helps you with presenting yourself while you sing, and can help you to figure out what postures or gestures are hindering you while singing.
What type of singing exercises can I do?wikiHow ContributorMouth exercises that stretch your lips, as well as quick vocal exercises so that you don't damage your vocal chords.
Where can I get a microphone?wikiHow ContributorYou can get a microphone from a music store. Some electronics stores may also sell them. Lastly, you can always buy a microphone online.
Should I try singing songs I do not like?wikiHow ContributorNo. You should practice songs you like, because it will express itself in your singing. If you don't like the song, you probably won't sound as good.
Unanswered Questions
What do I do if the steps don't work?
How can I tell that I'm singing well without asking anyone?
Does the song choice matter of what kind of person you are?
How can I sing like a star?
How long does it take to improve?
Ask a Question
If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- Drink lots of fluid while practicing and as often as you can. Practice often but not so much that it hurts your throat. Have a cup of warm tea with honey before a performance. Never a cold glass of water, which can puts your vocal cords in to a kind of shock.
- Practicing to say your "i, e, a, o, and u 's", pronouncing them and mentally focusing on the shape of your mouth when you are saying them, forming them with great enunciation. Practicing these over and over will help make your sound louder and more clear.
- Never wake up in the morning and try to sing. As soon as you wake up your vocal chords won't sound so good.
- Try practicing in front of friends and family, or even the mirror.
- If you have someone who has a piano or even a harmonica to lend with the key and pitch, that would be helpful, but not necessary in most cases.
- If all else fails, invest in singing lessons. They can be really helpful for boosting your confidence and for hitting those high notes!
- Sing from your soul. This will insure that everyone can hear you.
- Straining might destroy your voice, so be very careful not to overuse it.
Things You'll Need
- Friends to help or supportive family members (DON'T BE EMBARRASSED)
- Mirror
- A song you know (by heart and like)
- OPT. : you may even want an iPod or something to carry around to listen to for that musical vibe

To the Lighthouse

The Hen in Mr. Bankes's Memory
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Remember? In their youth, Mr. Bankes and Mr. Ramsay are walking down the road when a hen comes flying up to protect her chicks, and Mr. Ramsay goes, "Pretty pretty." According to Mr. Bankes, that's when their friendship stopped. The two of them were down metaphorically different roads. So what's with the hen? Why not a tree stump or a horse? Well, a hen protecting her chicks is pretty domestic. Mr. Bankes is trying to say – and he does say it later – that Mr. Ramsay's turn to the domestic life is what killed their friendship. And that's expressed symbolically by the hen in the road and Mr. Ramsay saying, "Pretty pretty."

For pregnant women in Kansas who want an abortion after 21 weeks, that could mean a trip to Colorado or New Mexico. "Some people will probably just give up _ the logistics, the expense seems overwhelming," Brownlie said. "But in general, if women have decided the best thing for their family is to end a pregnancy, they will go to great lengths to do so." (AP Photo/The Kansas City Star, Rich Sugg)

Lehman Brothers' Favorite Candidate
As of this morning, the fate of Lehman Brothers remains up in the air. On Saturday, government officials and financial institutions such as Bank of America scrambled to put together a package to prevent the total collapse of the subprime embattled investment bank. However, one thing is for certain, after today, Lehman Brothers will no longer exist. Even if another financial institution were to step in and bail out the Lehman, it will eventually be absorbed by the other company and another bank will fade away as a result of the banking systems own mismanagement and a federal government who has created an environment in which competition is dwindling in the financial markets.
I personally have to laugh when I listen to politicians excoriate Wall Street Financial executives for their mismanagement in recent years and policies which have endangered their institutions. After all, a federal government whose very policies have demoted competition and created fewer and more powerful financial institutions should share the blame. Moreover, the hypocrisy of these politicians is beyond belief as most Americans fail to recognize that even as their elected officials demonize these executives, they are accepting millions of dollars from them in the form of campaign contributions.
For instance, it is no secret that Senator Dodd who chairs the the powerful Senate Banking Committee has accepted millions in the past years from financial institutions. In his Presidential campaign more than a 1/3 (over $5.5 million) of the contributions Dodd received came from Finance and Banking related industries. Since 2003, Dodd has received more than $9.5 million in contributions from this sector, with an overwhelming majority of those contributions flowing in since the end of 2006.
But in the presidential campaign there is no candidate who shown a greater level of hypocrisy than Senator Obama. Obama has received over $395,000 in contributions from Lehman Brothers executives, not including the additional funds that Lehman Brothers employed bundlers have raised on his behalf.
From: Obama Subprime-Tied Contributors - Part I & Part II
Obama has also accepted campaign contributions from dozens of Lehman Brothers Executives, such as CEO Richard Fuld ($2,300), President Joseph Gregory ($4,600) and dozens of other top Lehman Executives. On June 19th, Lehman shareholders filed suit against Fuld and Gregory for the company's exposure in the subprime market...
Theodore Janulis – Bundler (over $50,000) & Lehman Brothers Head of Global Mortgages
Francisco Borges – Bundler (over $50,000) and Chairman of Landmark Partners a private equity real estate firm.
Nadja Fidelia – Bundler (over $50,000) & Managing Director of Lehman brothers
John Rhea – Bundler & Co-head of Lehman Brothers Global Investment Banking
The listing of contributions flowing in from Financial Institutions through Senator Obama's career is short of amazing. There are currently dozens upon dozens of Senior Vice Presidents, Managing Directors, and other top level executives from firms such as Lehman Brothers, Wachovia, Washington Mutual, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and other high profile Wall Street banks and funds mired in the mortgage meltdown.
Obama has been relentless in his attacks upon the "evil" Wall Street executives that he has blamed for the ongoing fallout from the mortgage crisis, positioning himself on a "moral high ground". The reality is that while Obama has been slapping the mortgage companies and investment banks with one hand, he has had his other hand in their wallet.
To read more about Obama Subprime buddies click here.
Obama has received over $20 million during his presidential campaign directly from executive of Financial Services companies. Now Obama supporters will defend this stating that most of those contributions came from small donors, but in reality the campaign only reports employment info on contributions over $250. You can visit opensecrets.org and search Lehman Brothers, you will be amazed by the number of maxed out contributions.
In addition, Obama has received tens of millions of dollars from Law firms and attorneys specializing in Corporate representation:
Those who are familiar with Sidley Austin LLP understand that the firm is a large, international law firm with a large presence within the financial services and insurance industry. For instance, the firm was just recognized by Alpha Magazine as the top firm for Hedge Funds for the second year along with consistently ranking as a top corporate law firm. Obama has also accepted more than $280,000 from Skadden, Arp, et al... employees, a firm that was recently recognized as the "Best Corporate Law Firm In The United States" for the eighth consecutive year by Corporate Board Member. Skadden is another large Law firm specializing in practices related to investment banking and representing clients such as Merrill Lynch. In addition to the aforementioned law firms, Jones Day, Latham & Watkins, & Wilmerhale LLP are all large law firms and top 20 contributors to the Obama campaign. All three of these law firms also specialize in corporate law and ranking among the top ten "corporate law firms" by the Corporate Board Member.

Finance Glossary
Just call us Bond. Amortized bond.
Over 700 finance terms, Shmooped to perfection.
Federal Funds Rate
To understand federal funds rates, you need to understand how banks work. (Fun!)
Your bank takes money from people depositing cash at the bank and lends money to borrowers (like the guy applying for a loan to buy a Maserati). So there's money coming in and money going out. The bank needs to keep a reserve, or a certain amount of money on hand, so that when a bunch of people come in for their cash, the bank can't say "sorry, we gave it all to the nice man wanting to buy a sports car." That kind of thing leads to panic and disaster.
What happens when a bank has less money than it legally needs to have as a reserve? It borrows money in a short-term, overnight loan from either the Federal Reserve Bank or from other banks that keep their own reserves at the Federal Reserve. Now, we all know that borrowing money is not free. If a bank borrows overnight from other banks, it is charged an interest rate at the current federal funds rate. The Federal Reserve influences the federal funds rate.
Why should you care how much interest banks charge each other? The federal funds rate has a big impact on the interest you are charged if you need to borrow money. When the Federal Reserve nudges the federal funds rate lower to stimulate the economy, you'll pay less for loans. When the federal funds rate goes up, borrowing gets more expensive for you.

With tax collections shattering official expectations this fiscal year, a top Patrick administration official urged municipal officials Tuesday to focus not on the overall numbers but the source of tax revenues.
Administration and Finance Secretary Glen Shor told members of the Local Government Advisory Commission that he bumped up the state's official tax revenue estimate by $403 million in January and collections since then have exceeded the new benchmark by $228 million.
But Shor cautioned that $391 million in tax revenues collected over the first nine months of fiscal 2014 are from tax settlements in excess of $10 million. Of that amount, all but $60 million must be deposited into the state's rainy day fund, Shor said, and is not available for general budgetary purposes.
Shor noted the administration has asked the Legislature for a statutory change that he said would bring $204 million of that $391 million back into the budgetary arena.
Shor urged local officials, who are seeking funds to repair potholes and cover winter snow removal costs, to watch the source of state tax revenues in April and June, two of the largest collection months of the year.
"They are very important," Shor said, cautioning that tax collections stemming from capital gains are similarly diverted to the rainy day fund.
The Patrick administration is concluding a mid-year budget review that also examines non-tax revenues and spending exposures, Shor said, predicting there could be additional spending requests from the administration.
Top House Democrats on Wednesday are scheduled to release their rewrite of Gov. Deval Patrick's $36.4 billion fiscal 2015 budget, which he filed in January.
Patrick's budget calls for a 4.9 percent spending increase next year and would use $175 million from the rainy day fund, leaving the account with an estimated $1.2 billion balance.

SO MUCH FOR being another flavor of the month.
Not only are graphic novels increasingly popular despite the misguided predictions of some, the quality of books released this year couldn't be finer.
Just halfway through '09, I could easily whip up an impressive Top 10 year-ender list with Koren Shadmi's unsettling "In the Flesh," Gene Luen Yang and Derek Kirk Kim's fabulous trio of fables "The Eternal Smile" and Didier Lefevre and Emmanuel Guibert's riveting "The Photographer" hovering in the top spots.
A brazenly original and metaphysically complex work, "Asterios" presents one unforgettable character, a pompous and cranky architect who is overly praised by his peers and critics even though none of his plans ever produced one actual structure. Asterios is hardly an endearing fellow, an intelligent but psychically stunted man victimized by his own voracious ego. Mazzuchelli makes him utterly fascinating and relies on his dead twin to narrate the story. (Yes, it sounds like a hackneyed device, but trust me, it works.) A personal crisis eventually humbles Asterios, sending him away from his structured and stagnant life in New York and into the more simplified life of a quirky family.
I hate to reveal much more, since Mazzucchelli has crafted a surprising experience that is robustly filled with rich supporting characters and features a series of unexpected developments that could even evoke an epiphany or two out of you.
And then there's that ending: a masterstroke that unifies everything that has preceded it. You'll be in awe of how perfect it is and certainly envious of it if you are a writer. What a beautiful, staggeringly brilliant piece of literature. A
Sprott is a TV host and former explorer who, similar to Mazzucchelli's Asterio, isn't a sympathetic protoganist — a self-centered man who treated women horribly and ultimately paid the price with loneliness. The inventive Seth fills in the details about this sad character through interviews, internal musings and scenes from the hours leading up to his death. You'll be seduced into Seth's vivid, nostalgic world, and feel the melancholic loss as the people and buildings around Sprott deteriorate and fade from memory. A

A significant snowstorm that was expected to hit the Poconos today and into Monday morning has been reduced to a small storm, forecasters said.
Snow accumulations Sunday afternoon through Monday morning will be in the 1 to 3 inch range, Tom Lutz of Pocono WX said. The higher elevations could have more snow.
According to the National Weather service, the storm will begin around 2 p.m. today, and end around 3 a.m. Monday. The chance of precipitation is 90 percent.
Pocono weather watcher Ben Gelber said late Friday that the original storm, predicted to bring large amounts of snow, would pass off the South Carolina coast Saturday without impacting the Mid-Atlantic. The light snow today will come from a Midwest storm, and he forecasted a coating to 1 inch of snow at most.
Gelber said the area could also see light snowfall Monday evening.
During the week, Gelber said the weather will be cold, but mainly dry except for a few snow showers, with highs in the 20-degree range. Temperatures could plunge though to 0 degrees on a clear, calm night with snow cover.
Later in the week, temperatures will moderate, but another cold blast will likely come through Valentine's Day Weekend and continue for at least another week.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Arctic Cat said it is seeing about 10 percent of its Shopatron-powered U.S. sales coming from a recently implemented eBay store.
Launched in September 2013, the official Arctic Cat eBay store gives shoppers direct access to a range of official Arctic Cat gear and merchandise.
Using in-store inventory to amplify online sales is nothing new to Arctic Cat, which launched its German online store with Shopatron in June 2011. That took the Arctic Cat marketing site into a full-fledged ecommerce site and added fulfillment capabilities such as in-store pickup and ship-from-store.
By leveraging the physical store inventories of its retail partners, the OEM said the program has rewarded its official dealers, who profit from fulfilling online orders without making an investment in their own internet store.
"For several years, our partnership with Shopatron has enabled us to connect loyal Arctic Cat enthusiasts with our dealers," said Rodney Larson, senior pricing analyst at Arctic Cat. "The new eBay store takes that functionality to a whole new level, bridging the gap between our dealers and a marketplace that is seeing growth ahead of e-commerce growth."
Shopatron recently studied its eBay sellers and found that more than 90 percent of customers buying from brands on eBay.com had not purchased on the brand's site in the past two years.
"EBay shoppers are a unique group of buyers, loyal to eBay, who are responding to our brands' shopping experiences on eBay.com," said Greg Squires, Shopatron's vice president of client success. "Brands are looking for ways to capture new markets and gain new customers; our clients have been pleased with the outcome thus far."

Arizona State Sun Devils
Magee on ASU: 'We need to get back on top where we belong'
Senior linebacker Brandon Magee admitted that when Arizona State hired head coach Todd Graham, he was worried about how committed the new coach was going to be to the older players.
But Magee told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Monday it didn't take long for Graham to win him over.
"He said he was committed to the seniors, he is going to play all the best guys, he is going to have discipline in his team, only character guys are going to play, the people that don't show up to class or practice hard are not going to be a part of this team," Magee said. "The key points he made to me the first time we had a conversation, I followed him right after that."
Now preparing for his final game in a Sun Devil uniform, Magee is pleased with the direction Graham is taking the program.
"From Todd Graham all the way down to the assistant coaches, (they) are outstanding guys. They teach character, discipline, all the right things you need at college, especially at a program like Arizona State," Magee said. "We need to get back on top where we belong."
A key for ASU to "get back on top" will be recruiting players from California.
Magee, who went to high school in Corona, California, feels recruiting from the state shouldn't be a problem for Graham.

College of Criminal Justice Education
The College of Criminal Justice Education, adhering to the UC Philiosophy, recognizes the vital role in enhancing relevant and responsive education in the field of Criminology.
In 2008, the College of Criminal Justice Education became a center of excellence providing quality instruction and effective training that will develop a progressive education for those who are deserving and to keep abreast with the changing times and apply latest technology and modern techniques in Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice System, Public Safety Administration, Corrections and Jail Management.
The College of Criminal Justice Education (CCJE) at the University of the Cordilleras (UC) traces its birth in the year 1986 when the school was then called Baguio Colleges Foundation (BCF). Back then, the College was under the umbrella of the College of Arts and Sciences known as Criminology Department. This Department offered the four-year degree Bachelor of Science in Criminology initially with 72 enrollees. With this degree program offering, UC (BCF) became an alternative Higher Education Institution in Baguio City for students in the Cordilleras and nearby regions who aim to pursue the degree program BS Criminology.
In 1990, the pioneer graduates of the degree program and first successful examinees in the Licensure Examination for Criminologists were produced. In the succeeding years, enrollees in BS Criminology continue to multiply; hence, in May of 1997 the Criminology Department under the late Dean, Dr. Benjamin G. Mang-usan was separated from the College of Arts and Sciences and became an independent College called the College of Criminology. The College was then housed at the 4th floor of the main building before it transferred to its present location; the towering science building.
The exemplary performance of the College in board examinations commenced during its early stages. Graduates of the College started to land in the ten (10) places as early as October of 1992, barely two years after the degree program was offered. In October of 1993, the first graduate to land in the number one spot emerged. Since then, graduates of the College managed to take the top ten (10) and twenty (20) places in the Licensure Examination for Criminologists. Furthermore, it consistently maintained its superior passing percentage way above the national passing rate.
In March 2002, the College was able to achieve one of its highest overall passing percentage in the Licensure Examination with a rating of 98%.
In 2005, specifically second trimester of SY 2005-2006, the College of Criminology was renamed the College of Criminal Justice Education by virtue of Academic Affairs Council Resolution No. 002, s.2005. This is in view of the issuance of CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 21 s. of 2005, which provides:
"A rationalized Criminal Justice Education (CJE) in the country that shall include degree programs in Criminology, Law Enforcement Administration, Correctional Administration, Industrial Security Administration and Forensic Science among others."
With the College's sincerity and genuine effort to provide quality education in the field of Criminology by "demonstrating excellence in providing quality instruction, research, extension and linkages and institutional qualifications", the Commission on Higher Education identified and designated the University of the Cordilleras as Center of Excellence (COE) in Criminology on October 9, 2008.
Then in April 2011, the College was able to attained 100% passing rate for first takers. Also, and worthy of note, the University was the only "Top Performing School" recognized by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) in the April 2010 and April 2011 Licensure Examinations as per Commission Resolution No. 2010-547 series of 2010.
With these achievements in the Criminology Licensure Examinations, the College did not end its quest for excellence. Hence, in October 2012 and April 2013 , UC-CCJE obtained a commanding 100% passing rate. On top of this, UC-CCJE mounted a record of having 9 topnotchers in the top 10 places in the April 2013 Licensure examinations namely" 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, 4th place, 5th place, 7th place,, two 9th placers, and 10th place.
Consequently, as of April 2013, there are 116 topnotchers in the top ten (10) and twenty (20) places and with 8 placers. Furthermore, for the 32nd Criminology Licensure Examinations, the University of the Cordilleras sustains its reputation as the school with the highest passing percentage in the Criminology Licensure Examinations.
The current faculty and staff of the College of Criminal Justice Education continues to strive to uphold its status guided by the ideals, principles and standards of the late Dean Mang-usan that lingers in the halls of the University. His legacy to UC is an unmatched and unparalleled record of academic distinction in Criminology.
Mission and Vision

News12 First at Five/ Thursday, Feb. 6, 2014
(MGN Online)
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW)-- A new bill making its way through the Georgia House is causing a big stir.
It would require anyone on food stamps in Georgia to pass a drug test.
The Georgia Lawmaker behind the bill is speaking out. State Representative Greg Morris (R-Vidalia) called News 12 to defend Georgia House Bill 772.
If it passes, people getting food stamps could lose their benefits if they fail consecutive drug tests. He said one out of five Georgians used an EBT card at the grocery store.
"I can't think of any more wrong than the misuse of taxpayer dollars, than to subsidize drug abuse," Rep. Greg Morris said.
Georgia already has a law on the books requiring those who get cash assistance to undergo drug testing. It's not being enforced because the Florida courts called a similar law unconstitutional.
In a News 12 web poll taken by more than 1,000 people, about 80 percent support the drug testing.
We found voters on both sides of the issue.
"I really think this is an attack on the lower class," voter Daniel Felter said.
"If you on the system and that's what they require then that's what you have to do," voter Jacquelyn Christian said.
Barbra Martin believes if the bill passes it will hurt kids in need the most.
"Who do we really hurt? It will hurt the children. The program is mainly for children," voter Barbra Martin said.
"No child does not receive food stamps because a parent is using drugs," said Rep. Morris.
He said if the parent fails the drug test, a surrogate would be appointed to receive the benefits for that child.
The surrogate still has to pass a drug test.
Whether his bill passes or not, what happens in Florida could shape the future here in Georgia.

Tottenham are interested in signing Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic, according to The Daily Mail.
Manager Andre Villas-Boas is keen to bring Pjanic to the Premier League, for an expected fee of £20million.
Pjanic, who scored three goals last season for Roma, has been highly linked with a move to Tottenham, as well as La Liga giants Barcelona. Earlier this year, the Bosnian midfielder claimed that the Catalan side had approached him.
"It's true, Barcelona are tracking me and enquired about my situation with my club," he said.
While Spurs may have to fight Barca for the midfielder, they are unlikely to battle with rivals Arsenal for the 23-year-old. The Gunners were close to signing Pjanic from Lyon, before he moved to the Italian capital.
Pjanic has scored three goals in four World Cup qualifiers for Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the nation top their group ahead of the 2014 tournament in Brazil.
The playmaker has completed his second season with Roma, where he has scored six league goals in his time.
Roma missed out on a Europa League spot last season by four points, as they finished in 6th place, behind Udinese. The club then missed out on a second chance to qualify for the European competition, as they lost the Coppa Italia to rivals Lazio.
Would Pjanic do well at White Hart Lane? Is he worth £20million?
Join the debate below!

Some days are fun. Some days are smooth as molasses. Some days are a piece of cake. Then again… some days aren't. Yesterday was not one of those days.
I knew it was going to be a doozie, so I did my hip exercises instead of a hard workout in the morning. Hey, it was still something productive that allowed me to drink my coffee. (multitasking) I then powered up with a hemp and raspberry spinach smoothie.
I powered up again with this "marathon mix." It's high calorie, but it's delicious and nutritious. Win.
Lunch was a salad packed with strawberries, mushrooms, radishes, and cucumber – all topped with Annie's Woodstock dressing. The salad and the dressing were both great, but a different dressing might have made for a better pairing.
For snack, I planned to have an apple and a hard boiled egg, but I thought this day needed some fun, or at least a fun-size treat. (I still had the apple too.)
I got home, ate a rice cake and sweated it out while dinner cooked. It's amazing how even a quick workout can change your mood. Anyway, dinner's ugly, but it was good. Sweet potatoes are a total comfort food for me. Well, sweet potatoes and fun-size treats… among other things.
I may have also went for a little organic chocolate ice cream for dessert. It was full-fat, so super creamy, but surprisingly relatively low in calories. After today – I deserved it!
What are your comfort foods (the healthy or not-so-healthy ones)?
