BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. ended a 143-race winless streak in NASCAR's top division when he took the checkered flag at Michigan International Speedway.
Earnhardt's win came almost exactly four years to the day after his last trip to Victory Lane in a Cup race. That also was in Michigan on June 15, 2008. Earnhardt pulled away over the final 25 laps of the 400-mile race and crossed the finish line well ahead of Tony Stewart.

PFS Special Screening of DARK GIRLS

I read that Steven Soderbergh was looking to make a more beautiful, stylistic action film in the vein of the classic James Bond film From Russia With Love or the Michael Caine thriller Funeral in Berlin when he set about to make Haywire.

At the Philadelphia Film Society preview screening of Tinker Tailor Solider Spy, I was handed a cheat sheet for the film — a guide of the characters, Secret Intelligence Service jargon, background on The Circus etc… Now let me tell you, I love these weekly film screenings, but I come to them from an 8 hour day at a mind-numbing, zombie-inducing day gig, which upon leaving, I have over an hour's drive in rush hour traffic (gas at $3.43 a gallon) to reach Center City. I park a 15 min walk away from the theater in order to get free parking. With no time to stop for dinner, I am revived only by the Ritz Theater's $2 mint hot chocolate.

So here we are, once again in the midst of the holiday movie season with plenty of family fun and enchantment to choose from: The Muppets make a comeback, Happy Feet II or is it III? For the tweens and teens, another addition to the Twilight Saga, and for adults wanting to take their children to something magical with a message – Martin Scorsese's Hugo, based on Brian Selznick award winning book The Invention of Hugo Cabret.

I was glad to make the second screening of Jeff, Who Lives at Home, particularly since the director was available for another Q & A. Well, co-director, this film is by another team of writer/director brothers.

Director Steve McQueen (Hunger), (why doesn't he go by S. McQueen or use his middle name, Rodney or Stephen?) has created an intense character study of a sex addict without really having to go overboard on graphic content. There are a lot of very visual sex scenes, but it's not gratuitous. With that being said, it was still embarrassing to watch the film with so many senior citizens.

If I owned an incredibly elegant, picturesque, stately castle with an 18 hole golf course and stable full of horses, I too would be sad and scared to see the end of the world, because you gotta figure life on the other side might not be as good.

The 2nd Annual Philadelphia Film + Music Festival took place this past weekend (Sept 22-25, 2011) in our own backyard. In fact, all the films for the event were shown mere feet from our office doors, as PFS shares space with Invincible Pictures in the Philadelphia Sound Stages.
The Philadelphia Film Festival is fantastic and an amazing value compared to other world class film festivals.
PFS is Philadelphia's window on world cinema.
We've attended the film festival since its second year, so we know that the Philadelphia Film Festival is the BEST event in all of Philadelphia.
I am hooked on the Philadelphia Film Festival. The more independent and foreign films the better!
I love PFS. The benefits far outweigh the membership cost, particularly based on the value of advance screenings. Staff is top notch and friendly.
PFS brings together the cinephiles of Philadelphia and generates so much support for independent cinema!
The staff at PFS is amazing and I have the opportunity to meet the minds behind the films that I love!
A membership to this organization is worthwhile to anyone interested in all genres of film… I'm so glad PFS is a part of my life!
Great organization, well run, fun, terrific value.
As lifelong movie buffs, belonging to PFS is the best investment we've made in our entertainment budget. I only regret not joining sooner.

The truth about LFC's spending
I've been reading these kinds of comments on here for a while now and it set me thinking what the truth of the matter actually was:
LFC Sofa Supporter: "Rafa is in his 3rd yr and doesn't have nowhere the funds SAF has so if we get 2nd spot that'll make me proud."
jk80jk: "joke in the transfer market?
Give him the sort of money Ferguson has had and I think you'll find if he could get the players he actually wants he'll be fine....
Other than Torres we haven't been able to compete with the likes of man utd and Chelsea in the transfer market... simple as that mate..."

Tim, this is a good thread and I almost regretted joining it as I thought I might finally get turned over by a manc.......
However, pal, I now have the info to kick some serious manc ass.
You have the most EXPENSIVE team in the WORLD. Forbes have compiled a list of the top 25 most valuable (expensive) teams and you TOP it !!
1. Man UTD = $1.5b + 84% debt to value ratio
11. Liverpool = $454m + 18% debt to value ratio
Liverpool not even in the top 10 !!
So put aside the odd 20m and discuss the BILLION DOLLAR difference in team value :-)

Man United Weekly Wage bills must be somewhere in the millions you pay half your players 100+k a week.
How many Liverpool players you think get that? 2-3? if that.
You look at the transfer figures and they only tell you one story, Plus it costs more to buy a player already on a "deal" with the club.. so that also takes an account into a transfer figure.
throwing Money figures at us and saying "you spent 70 million" this season proves nothing we've also sold players making us what 33 million according to you. So what we really spent this season is.. 37 million?
Your also no taking into account the youth + Res Players cash spent.
So basically in the bigger picture your facts prove very little.

Your figures are not right for Liverpool Tim the actuals are:-
Players bought by Rafa Benitez at Liverpool - total spending = £81,596,000
Full List -
Players sold by Rafa Benitez at Liverpool - total revenue = £38,475,000
Full list:-
A net outlay of £43m no-where near 90 odd million!
I'm not sure about your Man Utd figures because I don't follow them. The individual LFC figures don't look far off, but i haven't checked the totals. What I would dispute is benitez had Cisse lumbered on him, and he had toi build a team from a squad of massive mediocrity. He's hardly started in the same position as fergie over that period. where were our Giggs, Scholes, Neville, Neville, Butt. Thats not Benitez's fault. Plus he has hardly had the same backing....which is your point. 28m on Rooney, 29m on Rio, and the 17/18m on anderson and nani, hitherto unknowns who remain squad players at best at the moment. Benitez has had to spend 6.5m on first teamers....Bellamy, Pennant and so on. Now with Torres and Mascherano, I wouldn't argue with you, he is getting some money. He's spent it on two great players there, and hopefully that will tell in the following seasons to come. |It takes time to build, and fergie has had how many years?

Tim, I take it you are suffering from temporary stupidity?
What was your team worth at the start 04/05 and what was Liverpool worth? ie were the starting positions between Rafa & Fergie the same?
cluck cluck?

I've got records back to 1991/92 if you want them. They don't make it any better at all, mate. Some shocking purchases by LFC during that period.
What the figures going back to the season before the premier league began (1991/92) show is that LFC have spent more than United in 11 out of 17 seasons. It's not like you suffered from a lack of investment before Benitez, Houlier spent a fortune too, don't forget.
A Yahoo! User Apr 17, 2008 03:22 Flag
why not go back another year or two and include the following in ur figures
Veron 29m
Ferdinand 29m (British transfer record)
RVN 19m
And where the hell is Ronaldo in your list? Second thoughts dont make these changes they will just make ur figures look worse and ur argument look daft
- 1 Reply to A Yahoo! User
Ronaldo was bought in 2003/04. a season before Rafa took over at LFC. That's the period the records on this thread cover, if you've not bothered to read it properly.
As I've already said I've got records going back to 1991/02 and Liverpool still spent more than United even then:
Gross spend by Manchester United between 1991/92 and 2007/08 seasons: £339.45m
Gross spend by Liverpool between 1991/92 and 2007/08 seasons: £348.86m
Net spend by Manchester United between 1991/92 and 2007/08 seasons: £156.495m
Net spend by Liverpool between 1991/92 and 2007/08 seasons: £196.845m
Like I say, going back further doesn't make much difference. Liverpool have spent more than United in the premier league era (and in the season before it), gross and net.
If you really want me to, I'll psot the other records.
A Yahoo! User Apr 17, 2008 03:14 Flag
If your information is correct then you've got to take in consideration that Rafa inherited a squad whereas SAF's squad was already established also Rafa had to find his feet in the EPL whereas SAF again was already accustomed to it ..
Maybe SAF is a better tactician than Rafa and has better scouts than we do.. also SAF has an assistant manager correct me if I'm wrong but Rafa is doing much of the job by himself !!
Yes we've made some transfer blunders along the way but often Rafa has had to buy his 2nd choice player that would explain why we've such an average squad aside from a few very good players and one star player in Torres.. compare that to Man Utd's how many of their squad is average to ours? I think u will find their squad has more star players than us hence thats why they've won the EPL so often..
- 1 Reply to A Yahoo! User
But the figures show he's had the money to buy the "star players". Why he hasn't been able to get them is a different matter.
The only "star players" at United currently that we paid "star player" money for are Rooney and Ferdinand. The same may eventually be true of Tevez. The rest (with the exception of Tevez and possibly Carrick) became star players by playing so well for us, but that's really beside the point.
A Yahoo! User Apr 17, 2008 23:20 Flag
I actually think this is a decent thres and a fair point, people have pointed out that some of the stats are incorrect but the point is United aren't really outspending us. It's just we're buying more dud players.
Houllier was hopeless with his signings on the whole. In Rafas defence he has had to take alot of gambles on average fairly cheap (in todays market) players. I think now he's fairly happy with the squad he'll be focussing on quality rather then quantity. He'd alot of work to do after that terrible squad Houllier left him. Will be interesting to see how he does over the next few years, but credit to Fergie he has signed well on the whole although had some poor signings too.
- 1 Reply to A Yahoo! User
I am no expert on your team, but didn't Houlllier leave Benitez with the basis of the team that won the CL in 2005? And didn't Houllier win three trophies in one season, and didn't Houllier take you to second in the EPL? What is Benitez's highest finish?
Don't get me wrong - like all United fans I hope the support at LFC stays behind Benitez, because we obviously want him to carry on the way he is doing things at your club.
A Yahoo! User Apr 17, 2008 06:23 Flag
Deal was done by the time Rafa took over.
2 of Rafa's signing in the final..........you'll agree then that it must have been good management then
A Yahoo! User Apr 17, 2008 21:59 Flag
Which puts Manchester Uniteds debt at £616 million. And once your Stadium is funded your debt will rise to over £360m but our income is far higher, admitedly your gate income will increase vastly but that will also increase your operating costs.
Wierd, Tim I cut and pasted those figures last night, so can't understand why they are different and accept you final figures.
You may have a point about Souness. I've got records back to his period in charge and he spent more than twice as much as Ferguson did in the same time period, despite LFC bwing the more successful team before he took over.
As much as I hear about United's strong team for the past two decades, I've heard that Liverpool are "rebuilding a team". This doesn't give any credit to the fact that we've rebuilt the team at United four times since the start of the Premier League and (apart from a few relatively lean years at the beginning of this decade) done it sucessfully.
I think Liverpool has suffered not through any lack of funds, but through chronic mis-management for almost 20 years. Whether that's down to the likes of Evans, Houlier, Souness & Benitez or the likes of Parry on the board I don't know. But I do know I'm lucky to have been born in Manchester and been a United fan. Look on the bright side - we both could have been born to City fans!

Add another mode to the Modal and that's performance. When it was built, both Mark V and Bill Davidson commented that the Modal would perform, if needed, and perform well. In my previous trips, I was either riding it in singled-speed mode or geared and just touring. I rode to Hana with a Carradice seat pack last time we were in Maui and mostly just rolled it, but did observe
"The Modal in geared mode performed as expected — very well. It's built for performance riding and adept at climbing, cornering, and all-day riding … I'll adjust the sliders for more road clearance and swap cassettes to a 27 next time."
This time, with racing starting next week, I came here to train harder and added some intensity. For the past 5 days, I've ridden Upcountry in the hills with lots of rollers and climbing; bombed down descents over very rough "Roubaix roads"; rolled roleur style, staying on top of the gear with a tailwind; added fast tempo, sprint intervals, a recovery spin; and a bonus trip over the lava fields.

Zach Scruggs, a lawyer who was sent to prison along with his father in a judicial bribery case, has been released from a halfway house in Tupelo.
Scruggs was sent to the halfway house in February as part of a 14-month sentence for misprision of a felony, having knowledge of an attempted bribery scheme and not reporting it.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons Web site says he was released Wednesday.
Scruggs and his father, former lawyer Dickie Scruggs, were imprisoned in a conspiracy to bribe a Lafayette County judge for a favorable ruling in a civil lawsuit.
The elder Scruggs also pleaded guilty in the corruption case involving Hinds County Circuit Judge Bobby DeLaughter.
Dickie Scruggs is serving a total of seven years. DeLaughter hasn't been sentenced.

FCW Forum — Gov 2.0
A basic tenet of good government is knowing where our 'stuff' is
We have seen Recovery.gov and Data.gov, but where is Where.gov? Clearly, the Obama administration understands the power of place because it has already thrown interactive maps into the first two applications. Its commitment to place has even resulted in a powerful new approach to budget planning and programming, outlined in an Aug. 11 memo titled "Developing Effective Place-Based Policies for the FY 2011 Budget."
So why do citizens, civil servants, our uniformed service members and political decision-makers, including the president of the United States, need to go to so many mapping portals to see where things are, only to come up short?
From the lowliest citizen to the president of the United States, we should all be empowered to fire up an application I will call Where.gov. At that portal, you could draw a bounding box on a map, declare a slice of time and instantaneously discover everything our government knows about that place. And we should be able to marshal that data instantaneously to support our needs.
When bad things happen, they happen in places and at times you cannot anticipate. The ability to instantaneously achieve situational awareness is essential. Knowing what risks you face and the resources you have at your disposal at a specific location brings an immediate cost savings in less time spent, fewer errors made and opportunity costs not incurred. Even outside a crisis environment, we are discovering that the location of anything is quickly becoming everything.
Knowing the location of our "stuff" is a basic ingredient of good government. The Obama administration came to Washington with a clarion call for transparency, accountability and transformation of how government does business. Where.gov could help achieve those goals.
It would quickly and clearly demonstrate to everyone which government organizations can properly locate their people, assets, mission challenges and the services they provide — and which cannot. The portal would immediately strike a major blow to the out-of-sight, out-of-mind habits of Washington. Our successes and failures would be placed on the map and made accountable to open and democratic processes, which would inevitably empower people to demand better, more responsive government and encourage public/private partnerships that could lead to a better tomorrow. It would be the ultimate Sunlight Foundation.
Vivek Kundra and Aneesh Chopra, our new federal chief information officer and chief technology officer, respectively, are barnstorming the country advocating the rapid transformation to a government that uses open standards and cloud computing. I couldn't agree more. Where.gov could take their impulse and transform it into concrete guidance to agencies, telling them to publish all their data to the cloud via Open Geospatial Consortium standards, with security as appropriate.
That approach would not be limited to traditional geospatial data. The Where.gov guidance would finally communicate to agency leaders and their chief financial officers that a basic tenet of good government and effective management is knowing where your stuff is and understanding the places on which your mission must be focused. President Barack Obama understands that place matters in a fundamental way. It's time for Where.gov.

The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
It's simply called www.data.gov, Mr. Tucker.
To expand on the comments from Eric Wolf. Geospatial One-Stop has been around for about 6 years. it has grown to a catalog of 270,000 spatial datasets, web services, apps, and other docs from all levels of government, education, and commercial data providers. Vivek Kundra expanded on this and created http://www.data.gov that would make Federal data, including, but not limited to geospatial data, available to the public. As opposed to building yet another catalog, the data.gov consumes a catalog service from geodata.gov. Data.gov currently focuses on downloadable data set from federal sources. This could expand to include web services and other data feeds. The discussion on metadata is valid: does one create a comprehensive description of a resource at the expense of the effort to do so, or does one create a brief description (a la YouTube: title + video seems enough for most) at the expense of not knowing what you get until you use it? Having a single place to go to (like Geospatial One-Stop at http://www.geodata.gov) is convenient for users, but data providers can simply start by making their data sources available through web services, data download, or specific applications.
This is a superb letter. Very much on point with the issue at hand - where is the world is the US government? The difficulty is in the iteration, unfortunately. Because for the most part, the US government has *no idea* where its assets and interests are in geographic terms. Or even on paper, for that matter. An excellent, well reasoned, and extremely cogent discussion that will face insurmountable obstacles in its implementation. Just think, government agencies would actually be accountable. A novel concept, certain never to occur.
I really like the idea of Where.gov - it's sort of an expansion of the Geospatial One Stop (GOS) initiative already in place. But your thesis has two significant flaws:
1. Based on experiences from GOS and The National Map, it's easy to forget just how many datasets the Government keeps. Information overload occurs rather quickly. So providing information through separate web mapping interfaces allows for the number of datasets to be constrained. This makes the information the data contains more accessible. A basic tenet of information design.
2. Just because the data share a common index - spatial location - doesn't mean the architectures housing those data can relate them. All Government data, across all Departments and Agencies, would have to house their data in a consistent manner and expose the databases to outside interfaces.
Sure, the Government has made significant strides towards data interoperability. Geospatial One Stop (or even the spatial interface to Data.gov) are a step towards "Where.gov". FGDC metadata attempts to provide means of standardizing information about the data. The SDTS file format was created to normalize data formats across architectures.
But each of these efforts came with significant lessons learned. Navigating even the small fraction of government data on GOS is bewildering. Writing good metadata is costly and doesn't directly contribute to short term directives. SDTS ended up being a far from optimal solution - data file sizes are considerably larger than native formats.
Overall, the cost to the government (and ultimately, the taxpayers) to link all databases in a common interface would be staggering.

While the 4.7-inch iPhone 6s on some U.S. carriers is still available for delivery on the September 25th launch date, nearly all of the larger, 5.5-inch iPhone 6s Plus models are now scheduled to deliver in 3-4 weeks for new orders. According to KGI Securities, this is not entirely due to high demand for the largest iPhone model. According to a new note from the firm, the constraints are actually due to supply problems with the 6s Plus's backlight hardware:

KGI: Apple 12.9-inch iPad Pro to feature optional Force Touch compatible stylus, 2015 shipments in the 4-5.5M range
According to respected and generally reliable analyst Ming Chi-Kuo from KGI Securities, Apple's long-awaited 12.9-inch iPad Pro will feature Force Touch stylus support—perhaps for something like an enhanced Pencil from Paper's FiftyThree. Earlier this month, we detailed what to expect from Force Touch on iOS including support for an enhanced stylus paired with the larger iPad models.
He expects the larger tablet to go in to production between September and October and that the stylus will be able to take advantage of the new iPad's Force Touch-enabled screen. It's being imagined as a feature which could help users more easily navigate the larger display of the iPad Pro. KGI has predicted an optional Lightning-charging stylus sold alongside the larger-screened iPad since earlier this year.

"We raise our 2015F shipments of Touch ID (fingerprint recognition) module by 12.4% to 262mn sets, up 77% YoY."

WWDC 2013: Slimmer Retina MacBook Pro w/1080P camera and MacBook Air microphone improvements expected
We expect the new MacBook, featuring an upgrade to Intel's (US) Haswell processor, will be in the spotlight for Apple at the upcoming WWDC from June 10. Along with the new processor, we expect the following modifications to each product line:
Retina MacBook Pro to be slimmer slightly, along with a camera upgrade. We expect the 13" Retina MacBook Pro will have a slightly slimmer form factor for increasing its portability. Also, we think the camera spec will be upgraded from HD to full HD. This will improve Facetime and video conference quality in the high resolution Retina display.
The 1080P camera would match the capabilities of the rear-cameras in recent iOS hardware, but this would represent the first time in which Apple shipped a 1080p-capable front-facing sensor.
If Apple does choose to keep the same batteries and size of the Retina MacBook Pro, the new Haswell chips could push battery life up over 10 hours – an outcome I'd personally prefer. Additionally, how can you make the 13″ Retina MacBook Pro any thinner?
It is so thin that the ports+ fan outlets barely fit now. It would also be an uncharacteristically short sub-1-year duration for the current design.
As for the MacBook Air, at least one improvement is expected by Kuo: expand full story

i have been a customer of aarons for atleast 15 years now.i have rented and purchased 3 televisions 1 living room set a washer/dryer set and 1 computer set all this paid in full thru the years. now iam renting another computer set which with only 1 payment away from paying it off the monitor stopped working . so i called aarons and i was advised to bring in the monitor and they would give me a loaner until mine would be fixed. i was told
that it would be about 2 weeks i said ok. two days later i received a call from aarons and was told that the warranty does not apply to monitor because the monitor was either hit or dropped and nothing they can do about it. i cannot believe they have told me this crap!!
that monitor has no scrathes or any dents whatsoever on it. iam only $63.00 away from paying in full and they tell me that they will not fix or replace my monitor. i feel that what they have done to me is just plain wrong and i feel ripped-off from them after all the business i have giving this company thru the years. right now iam so upset that iam going to see what options if any that i will take. i still have the loaner and iam waiting on a response from HQ i have yet to receive a response
from them. i will update later what the response was if i ever get one!!!

Pollard and his admirers
08/25/2009 - 00:00
James Besser
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 I don't know why – I've been doing this for a long time, after all – but I still react with surprise to each new indication that Jonathan Pollard, the convicted Israeli spy who wants out of the prison he now shares with Ponzi king Bernie Madoff, is his own worst enemy. Case in point: a new posting on the "official" Justice for Jonathan Pollard Web site by an Israeli rabbi, who just can't contain his admiration for Jonathan. Rabbi Shmuel Yaniv, a "well-known Torah scholar, author, poet and expert on Torah Codes" and chief Rabbi of Givat Shmuel, according to the Pollard Website, writes this to Jonathan: "I look upon you as a giant of a man, a hero who brought redemption to our Nation from the threat of Saddam Hussein, the cancer of Satan. Every adult and child in Israel and throughout the Jewish world recognizes and appreciates your selfless courage. Your virtue is enormous. Other leaders may rise and fall, but remembrance of your deeds shall endure forever in the hearts and minds of the Jewish people, from generation to generation, until coming of the final Redeemer." And, Yaniv adds, Pollard "should have received the Nobel Peace Prize" for his efforts. (Read the entire letter here). No doubt all that praise warms Jonathan's heart, chilled from 24 years in prison. The only problem is, such sentiments can only prolong his ordeal. These are the facts: the only way Pollard is going to get out of jail is through parole – which he refuses to seek – or a presidential commutation. Either way, he's going to have to make it clear he regrets his crime, consistently and unambiguously. Every time he disseminates the praise of those who say he is a hero of Zion, he undercuts his claim to repentance. I ask you: what president is going to take the political risk of releasing an American who spied for another country, and at least implies that what he did was justified? It's not gonna happen; each recitation of his heroic deeds by supporters, trumpeted on his Web site, only adds to the time he will stay in jail. (There's one other way he might get out: as part of a U.S.-Israel deal involving elements of the peace process. But that requires an Israeli leader making his release a priority – something that seems increasingly unlikely in light of Pollard's bitter criticism of an Israeli leadership he believes – not without justification – abandoned him) Pollard complains that American Jewish leaders, too, have largely ignored his appeals for help. Early in his imprisonment, I think his complaints had some merit; after all, he was a very young and naïve man who was badly misused by an Israeli government that should have known better. But now, what mainstream Jewish leader is going to really go out on a limb for a spy whose supporters glorify his actions – a glorification Pollard seems to welcome? Personally, I can't see how keeping Pollard in jail serves justice or national security interests after all these years. It just doesn't make sense. But even a president who recognized that fact is going to have a hard time releasing a spy whose supporters say outright that what he did wasn't just justified, but heroic. Pollard seems to think that if he keeps quiet, his case will be forgotten and he'll die in jail. I would suggest the opposite; the more he talks and allows his supporters to talk, the less likely it is any president will let him out.

For instance, when you view a list of properties it has a button that says "View Listing", I need it to say "View Home" I don't know where to go to change this. I also have a few other changes that I would like to make but I think if I can figure out where to go to find this change I may be able to find the others and if not I will come back here and ask again.

Course overview
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is a supervised research program where you'll make a substantial, original contribution to knowledge in your chosen field.
This degree may be undertaken in Deakin Business School or Deakin Law School. An expert member of the academic staff will be appointed as your principal supervisor. As well as your thesis, you'll also be required to complete a number of coursework units and meet certain attendance requirements.
Deakin currently has around 1,600 higher degree by research candidates – intelligent people making the most of our excellent facilities, partnerships, strategic research centres and excellent reputation.
Cloud (online) studies
Deakin offers many courses which can be studied by distance education overseas.
However, international students living in Australia must, in each compulsory trimester (that is, Trimesters 1 and 2), enrol in at least one unit that is offered as a Campus located unit and can, in addition enrol in units offered via Cloud (online). International students are not permitted to do more than 25% of their total course via Cloud (online) learning. Best practice is to enrol in mostly Campus located units in each compulsory trimester.
In a non-compulsory trimester (Trimester 3), international students may study Cloud (online) units only.

Entry to Higher Degree by Research candidature is normally granted on the basis of a bachelor's degree with honours (that is, a four year degree where the final year includes advanced studies in the discipline, research methodology training and a research thesis) or a master's degree with a substantial research component, in a field of study related to the subject of the proposed research. It is expected that a candidate for a doctoral program will have achieved the standard of at least second class honours (upper division), and that a candidate for a master's degree will have achieved the standard of second class honours. Other qualifications and experience may be considered for entry if the Higher Degrees by Research Committee accepts them as equivalent to those above. Where entry is sought based on alternative qualifications, a key requirement is that there has been some research activity leading to a thesis or equivalent publications. The HDR Committee looks for evidence of research potential and demonstrated ability to produce a significant report - two qualities which will be essential for successful candidature.

Yu Zhen originally acquired the Common Stock that is the subject of this Schedule 13D for investment purposes. With respect to the recently proposed "going private" transaction involving the Issuer as described in the Issuer's Schedule 13E-3 filed on April 3, 2013 (the "Transaction"), Yu Zhen believes that the terms of the proposed Transaction substantially undervalue the Issuer. In response to what it believes to be an inadequate offer, Yu Zhen may pursue any or all of the following actions: communications with other shareholders of the Issuer regarding the Transaction, communications with the sponsors of the Transaction, disposing of all or a portion of the Common Stock in open market sales or in privately negotiated
transactions, exercise of its dissenters' rights and seeking other legal recourse to protect its interests as a shareholder.
Sentiment: Buy
There are 31.98 million shares outstanding. There are 24.10 million share float. There are 7 million shares difference. Company has 25% of the million share float. So, is someone buying at $1.92, 1.93 from the float, or from the outstanding shares?
Interesting, but not really new news. IMO, Yu Zhen is not the current seller...he'd wait for the full $2.00.
There is action every day at $1.92-$1.93. Anxious sellers? Buyers looking for a short term modest gain...waiting period is shortening...% return is increasing.
Still holding as the drama unfolds.
Sentiment: Hold

After having had no success in selling our Mountain Village property for some time, we were referred to Mike from a prior real estate client who spoke highly of him based on their real estate transaction. Our property had already been listed with two (2) other Realtors, so we weren't convinced the outcome with this Realtor would be any different. Fortunately, after consulting with Mike and seeing how professional and insightful he was about selling our property, we engaged his firm to continue the pursuit of our goal. Not long after implementing Mike's recommendations, we had multiple offers to consider and eventually accomplished our goal of selling the property. Just like the prior client that referred him to us, we too highly recommend Mike to assist you in your real estate needs.
Shimmy has been a spectacular Realtor and friend to us in our search for a home in Telluride! We brag to our friends and family that we found the best Realtor possible: he looked out for our best interest through the entire process. He provided insight about specific locations, market timing, and by helping us find the best fit for mortgage and insurance brokers. Shimmy handed us all the information we needed to make an informed and seamless transition into the Telluride market.
We are so happy with our new home that Shimmy located for us. After working with my fiancé and me, he knew what qualities and amenities were important to us, but never pressured or pushed us in any direction. We consider Shimmy a friend and would recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the Telluride area.
Thank you, Shimmy, for a warm and genuine experience!
I would like to thank you for providing what could be described as one of the most perfect experiences for Karen and myself.
We arrived in Telluride with the intention of researching the real estate market with the long term prospect of purchasing a house. From the very beginning you listened to both my wife and myself, identified what was important to us, then proceeded to more than exceed our expectations. This was done by showing not only what we thought we would be interested in, but by going far beyond. Not only did you intelligently show and explain all different options, but opened us up to possibilities we had never conceived.
Through the properties shown, meetings with local residents, architects and builders you organized, we were able within a 36 hour period finalize our Telluride aspirations and dreams. Then, after having made our choice, the attention to detail you represented through the purchasing and closing phase, made the whole process an incredibly enjoyable experience.
To conclude, you are without a doubt the best Shimmy.
I highly recommend Mike Shimkonis as Realtor when either buying or selling property. He listed and sold my condo in very short time and the price was on target for its appraisal; settlement was quick and the easiest I have had for all the settlements I have had. He had done all his homework when we met so I was well aware of value. Mike was sensitive, caring and constantly in contact throughout the process. I knew him from the time I arrived in Telluride and lucky to find him to be just what I expected; considerate, a friend at all times. You will make the right decision when you select him, all the time. I pass to my friends use Mike for your real estate needs.
Mike is a superb real estate professional and a really good person. We listed our Telluride Ski Ranches home with Mike and just closed the sale. Every step of the way, Mike provided excellent advice, great marketing and prompt information about showings and feedback from potential buyers and other brokers. He also was a steady hand during the negotiations that led to the sale. Mike knows the Telluride market and the real estate business. Mike was truly a pleasure to work with.
We discovered Telluride in 2006 and returned annually for family ski trips following our first visit to theiconic box canyon. We decided this destination was special and we needed to make a second homehere a reality. Our search began on line where we discovered Mike "Shimmy" Shimkonis, the selling agent, several years ago. The response to my random request on line was impressive and his knowledge of the region and market was impressive. It was obvious that Mike knew the market and had a passion for the region greater than our own. He worked diligently with us onsite and remotely over a few years and helped us obtain our dream. Mike was instrumental in helping us sort out exactly what we needed as a family and was more concerned with what our needs were over what he could potential profit from moving a more expensive property. We backed out of our first attempt to purchase because of cold feet on my own accord and Mike jumped back in with the same enthusiasm and energy as he hadthroughout the process. I write this testimonial from our new second home and can only say we cherish every second we get to spend as a family in this amazing place and without reservation would recommend Mike as a real estate broker and will certainly utilize him for our next property in the Telluride/Mountain village.
Mike went above and beyond what could be expected of any Realtor in helping us secure our property in Telluride. He persisted through nearly nine months of short sale, and ultimately bank foreclosure, gyrations and delays and addressed each turn in the road with a level of expertise, patience and resolve to see the purchase through to conclusion. He covered all of the bases in a complicated transaction, anticipating our needs and proactively contacting all related parties to keep things moving forward. He was thorough, conscientious and determined and always had our best interests at heart. We could not recommend any Realtor more highly than Mike.
How does one (or two) say thank you for helping to make a dream come true? Your professionalism, knowledge and expertise, gentle (but business-like) manner and general demeanor are so appreciated. Your knowledge of the area, the market and its trends and all the "extras" we required proved to be more than we could've hoped for. Thank you, thank you!
Hi Mike, Thanks for all you have done for us, sincerely. You are the most upstanding, honest realtor we have worked with, and there had been quite a few. Looking forward to owning a place in Telluride! Thanks again.

Am i weird to make him still nap? He is so cranky if he doesn't. Have you had any older children that still took naps at 3 and 4?
Who's still napping?
Am i weird to make him still nap? He is so cranky if he doesn't. Have you had any older children that still took naps at 3 and 4?
SAHM to My Little Prince
My DD used to be a horrible sleeper but in the last year has gotten much better. Her naps are getting shorter as she is sleeping later in the morning but she still needs her nap. she sleeps about an hour and a half. From what I understand most kids still need naps until at least 4 but I know a lot of people who have dropped naps all together. My DD does ok if she doesn't nap but by bed time its all over so I choose to make her nap. If she can't sleep then she rests.
Wife to my wonderful husband Dan since 10/14/06 and Mother to Sarah (2009) and to Samuel (2011).
Oh yeah, my son still naps every day! He falls right to sleep at nap time and sleeps 1.5-2 hours so I know he needs it.
We are! Ava naps anywhere from 1.5-2.5hrs a day usually sometime between 1pm-3pm.
If I don't lay with him my DS will only nap 15-45 mins and be grumpy before bed time but if I nap with him, I'll get a good 2 hours out of him. I'm 10 weeks pregnant with baby3 so I NEED a nap so he has to nap too. I've been napping with him every day so we both get the sleep we need.
I am one that mkaes both my 3 YO and my 5 YO still nap. My 5 YO I make him lay down for rest time and he usually falls asleep. But we are not giving up naps yet they are much needed.
Wife to Vincent (5/06) and Mommy to VJ (3/07) & Gabbi (8/09)
Amy, wife to Chris
SAHM to Jack Christopher, 8-25-09, Sydney Rae 04-14-11 and Brooke Rylie 1-23-13!
Still napping here too. My girls nap form 1:00-3:00 every day. They still get in 12 hours at night as well.
Wife to a hot Hubby & SAHM to twins S & S 👭
Mine naps about every other day, but she has to go into her room for "rest time" at the same time whether she sleeps or not. I have to have the break and I think it is good for her, too.

Orcs & Elves
Our review of an addictive DS dungeon-crawler.
|[Click the image above to check out all Orcs & Elves screens.]
I've already gone off on what made this thing so great on cells. Go read that. Every word of it is still true. O&E was a perfect encapsulation of everything that was great in all those old first-person 90-degree movement RPGs, stuff like Eye of the Beholder and Dungeon Master, only prettied up, given some interesting and unintrusive dialogue, and stripped of micromanagey garbage like making sure you had enough food and water. And while it's turn-based, you never find yourself spending more than a half second waiting for things to happen.
Orcs & Elves was easily top of the mobile game heap, but in the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king. The obvious pressing question is, "Just how well can it hack it against its new DS peer group?" The answer is a resounding, "Pretty damn well." It isn't perfect. Its roots clearly show a bit, but not nearly so much as you might be inclined to think. The engine has been rejiggered for the new platform, everything has been wonderfully up-rezed, and on the whole it looks really nice in its new home. Nearly everything is a marked improvement over its mobile incarnation. The notable exceptions are sound effects, which are repetitive, and music, which is almost completely absent. The art is still a little retro, but that's more charming than off-putting. I'm much relieved that they worked with the original 2D sprites instead of cobbling together some kind of terrible 3D. With so many critters running around at some points in the game it probably wouldn't have been nearly so attractive.

They even went in and added some handy new items, a few new enemies, and three whole levels not present in the original game. The touch screen is handy enough for inventory management, but completely optional. More could have been done, but this is far and away better than forcing something stupid and unnecessary on the game.
Those three extra levels are particularly welcome. The last time I played Orcs & Elves on my phone, I spent around seven hours. Which, for a phone game, is freaking epic. Not quite so much on the DS. The new content bumped it up to around 11, and that was playing on normal, which is kind of a cakewalk. (Bump it at least a notch, even if it's your first time through.) I remember feeling concerned that the game was flying by way too fast, and it wasn't until I actually looked down at the total time played that it hit me that this thing isn't short: I was just enjoying it so much that I didn't notice.
